Chapter 2519: Yin ya’s happiness
Translator: 549690339
Yang Wei, who was far away in Shanghai, was arranging various things. As a powerful figure of the Shanghai cuisine Association, he was also very busy. Therefore, if he wanted to get rid of the trivial matters that would take him ten days to half a month, he naturally needed to prepare a lot of time in advance. He didn’t know if he would be lucky.
He was so lucky today that he actually got two cuisines. Even Yuan Zhou felt very happy in his heart. Although he still looked expressionless, the curve of the corner of his mouth slightly rose. Anyone who knew Yuan Zhou well knew that he was in a very good mood today.
Then, everyone was curious as to why Yuan Zhou was in such a good mood today. Everyone had different opinions. Some said that the stock price had risen, some said that Yin ya was pregnant and so on. These were all normal guesses. Some even said that they had found new ingredients.
There were also some who asked Yuan Zhou at the top of their lungs what good things were happening. The main reason was that Wu Hai was also afraid that there was really some new food ingredients that he didn’t eat at the first moment.
However, no one had gotten a definite answer.
The one who knew about it first was definitely Yin ya. Because she had worked overtime for a while, the pub was about to open when she returned to the restaurant after work.
It was said that there was heaven above and su hang below. In fact, it was not only the beautiful scenery but also the delicious food of the two places that made people forget to return.
Shanghai, which was very close to Suzhou and hang, followed the food culture of the two places and pushed out new things on this basis, creating many unique dishes.
Therefore, as soon as Yin ya came back, she was surrounded by pleasant surprise.
“Blockhead, you’re going to make a new dish?” Yin ya looked at several extremely familiar dishes on the stone table and asked.
It was really familiar. Although Yin ya lived in Gusu, she was still quite familiar with the neighboring Shanghai cuisine. Moreover, Yuan Zhou was really cooking cooked dishes, such as the beautiful red braised pork in nongtang and the four fresh roasted bran. They were dishes with obvious origins.
“Yes. I plan to do some research on it before putting it on the menu. It’s quite cold today, and it’s a good time to nourish your body. Come, have a bowl of red bean and peanut pork trotter soup.”
While saying that, Yuan Zhou picked up a small blue and white bowl beside him, filled half a bowl of soup and handed it to Yin ya.
There was a temperature control system within the restaurant, which made the temperature within the restaurant absolutely comfortable and pleasant. The cool breeze was blowing outside, which was absolutely a scene of winter. Therefore, although Yin ya took off her coat as soon as she came in, she still felt a little cold in her heart.
He took the warm porcelain bowl and saw the red beans in the bowl. The peanuts were chubby, and even the meat looked sticky and mushy. There was a wisp of white steam floating in the air. It felt very warm.
“Hmm, let me try it. It looks really good.”
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Yin ya lifted the small bowl to her mouth and took a sip. The rich fragrance instantly spread from the tip of her tongue to the root of her tongue. At first, she felt a little cool, but now she felt warm, as if the spring breeze was gently caressing her face, making her feel rich and fragrant.
“It’s delicious. The taste is just right. It’s mellow and sticky, and it will melt with a single sip. It’s really delicious.” Yin ya praised.
“Eat more if you like it. I didn’t make much today, only three dishes and a soup. But I prepared some snacks unique to Shanghai. I’ll give them to you for supper.” Yuan Zhou said.
Yin ya was speechless.
She touched her waist discreetly and only then did she feel at ease. Ever since she had started living in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, she had been feeling comfortable everywhere. Even though Yuan Zhou was very busy, he still took care of her in every possible way. The only bad thing was that she had to worry about fatty finding her all the time, which was really a sweet trouble.
Seeing Yuan Zhou still waiting for her answer, she could only say helplessly,””We’ll see after dinner. Blockhead, let’s eat. ”
Although she was troubled, she was also happy. Therefore, the curve of the corner of Yin ya’s mouth never dropped. There was always a smile on her pretty face, which appeared especially gentle and demure.
“Alright, let’s eat.”
Yuan Zhou answered and then started to scoop the crystal clear rice out of the small pot at the side.
The rice grains were slightly long and narrow, but they were still very plump. Each of them looked white and fat because of the moisture in the fumigated water. This was because they were slimmer than the round rice grains. However, after being cooked, they didn’t look much different from other rice grains except for being whiter and fatter.
Anyway, Yin ya couldn’t really tell the difference between these types of rice. The only thing she could tell was probably the taste. This was also because there were really many types of rice in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Not counting the rice specially used to cook congee, Yin ya couldn’t even count the various types of rice used for cooking.
“Is this new rice?”
Yin ya felt that she had never smelled such a fragrance before, and that was why she asked that question when she had just tasted the Zhejiang cuisine.
“A new breed of long grain fragrant rice. Try it.”
While saying that, Yuan Zhou gave the bowls to Yin ya and the other woman and then started to eat without saying anything.
Just when Yuan Zhou and Yin ya were eating, Barry and Alessandro finally landed.
“Phew, I didn’t expect Rong city to be so cold.” Barry was wearing a thin, long-sleeved shirt. He shivered as soon as he got out of the plane.
Speaking of which, the temperature Italy was not much different from that in Chengdu, but Barry felt cold when the wind blew.
“It’s alright. Actually, it’s not that much different. Maybe the Leeward area will be better.” Alessandro also felt a little cold.
“Do you know how to get to the hotel?” Alessandro asked.
This time, Alessandro came here to compete with Yuan Zhou on making sausages. It was considered a personal activity. Therefore, all the work was handled by Barry. He felt that his assistant should be able to do the job.
“Don’t worry, Sir, I’ve already contacted a car. We can go directly to the hotel once we leave the airport. Also, I’ve checked, the hotel we’ve booked is only seven kilometers away from Yuan’s restaurant. It’s very close.” Bailey shook his phone to indicate that he had already made the arrangements.
Alessandro nodded in agreement when he heard that seven kilometers wasn’t a long distance.
The facts that followed would definitely teach Barry how to behave. It turned out that even a kilometer away from Taoxi road was considered far. If it was seven kilometers away, he would not be able to eat if he did not leave two hours earlier.
At the moment, Barry and the others did not know about this.
Although there was no guide, Barry’s English was quite fluent. The driver he booked through the website could also speak fluent English. At least, there was no problem with communication. Besides, there was also the international language, so the journey to the hotel was smooth and they checked in.
“Sir, shall we go directly to meet head chef Yuan or shall we inform him in advance?” Bailey asked about their next trip.
“We don’t have head chef Yuan’s contact information, and we don’t know him either. It’s not good to contact him rashly. He has a restaurant, so let’s go for a meal and talk about the competition later.” Alessandro said after thinking for a while.
Not to mention how much effort it would take to find Yuan Zhou’s contact information. If he really wanted to find it, he could naturally do it. However, if he wanted to compete with someone he didn’t know just by calling or sending an email, it was not a matter of arrogance. It was simply impolite.
Alessandro was old and had a high status, but he wasn’t arrogant. Since they were going to have a competition, nothing was more sincere than saying it in person.
