Chapter 389 Mushrooms and Green Vegetables
"Xiaoli, I'm waiting for you here at Yuanzhou's store on Taoxi Road." A boy wearing a thin sweater at the door said gently to the other end of the phone.
"I know, we make appointments there every time, and we don't go to eat." The girl complained delicately on the phone.
"When the year-end bonus is paid, I will take you to eat egg fried rice." The boy held the phone and said with determination.
"No, I don't really want to eat it. Just tell me, wait for me and it will be here soon." The girl refused decisively, and then said in a cheerful tone.
"Don't worry, take your time, I'll wait for you." The boy nodded and gave a few instructions carefully.
Things like this often happen at the entrance of Yuanzhou's store, and people queuing up are not surprised. After all, it is the most famous store within a few miles.
Three hours was too short, and the man in the suit just swallowed the last sip of the mineral water that went with the meal.
"Everyone, today's business hours have ended. Please come early tomorrow." Yuan Zhou stood in the kitchen and said seriously.
"Zhou Jia, please go back first. There is no need to clean up these things." Yuan Zhou turned around and said to Zhou Jia who was preparing to clean up.
"Huh?" Zhou Jia looked at Yuan Zhou in confusion.
"Go back." Yuan Zhou waved his hand and picked up the dishes on the conveyor belt.
"Boss, let me do it." Shen Min, who had just arrived, immediately stepped forward and said when he saw Yuan Zhou cleaning up in person.
"No need, go to the back and get ready." Yuan Zhou gestured to the cherry shrimp wall view door on the side.
"But..." Shen Min didn't understand now.
"Go." Yuan Zhou reiterated in the end.
"What's wrong, boss?" Shen Min asked Zhou Jia in a low voice.
"I don't know, you didn't let me move just now." Zhou Jia also looked puzzled.
"Who knows, I'm not angry anyway." Wu Hai chose a seat and sat down casually.
Normally, every time at handover time at night, Shen Min, who arrived early, would help Zhou Jia clean up before starting things in the tavern, but today Yuanzhou unusually refused to let them clean up.
The customers left in the store are also very strange.
Some people don’t leave immediately after dinner.
Some diners will take a break, while others will stay and wait for drinks, such as the novelist and Wu Hai who often come to have dinner recently.
There are also men in suits who are just sitting in a daze.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou had almost finished cleaning up, Zhou Jia turned around and left. Shen Min went in first to wipe all the tables in the tavern, then came back and stood quietly at the door of Yingxiang Wall View.
"Wow, wow, wow." Yuan Zhou let go of the faucet and started washing his hands, washing them very seriously.
"Boss Yuan, do you still want to cook?" Su Mu looked at Yuan Zhou's strange look and asked.
"Well, you can go to the tavern first." Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"Oh, I just like watching you do it here." Su Mu said with a smile.
"Please." Yuan Zhou nodded nonchalantly.
After washing his hands, Yuanzhou took out a new handkerchief to dry his hands, took out a thin glove, and put it on carefully.
"It feels like a new dish. I haven't seen Boss Yuan make it before. I don't know if I have a chance to try it." Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou seriously.
"But this is the first time I've seen Boss Yuan cooking at this time." Su Mu was surprised by this.
"Maybe I've been busy recently and I have time now." Wu Hai only cared about what Yuan Zhou was going to do.
"It's also possible." Su Mu nodded.
The man in a suit on the side just watched silently.
"Huh." Yuan Zhou breathed out gently, and then opened the cabinet door. Inside was bright light and green vegetables.
Of course, the green vegetables are still planted in the soil. They look green, faintly like dewdrops, and extremely fresh and tender.
"Is this a green vegetable?" As a carnivore, Wu Hai was a little disappointed.
"It looks really fresh and tender." Su Mu's observation point was different.
"Of course, Boss Yuan's purchasing channels are mysterious." Wu Hai said with his hands spread.
"But you have to wear gloves when pulling vegetables to avoid getting them dirty?" Su Mu asked in confusion as he watched Yuan Zhou pull out the vegetables one by one in an extremely weird posture.
"This guy definitely doesn't want to touch the vegetables, so as to preserve the taste." Wu Hai had already seen Yuan Zhou's level of humiliation.
Taking about a plate's worth, Yuan Zhou stopped what he was doing, quickly washed his hands and changed into a pair of gloves, and opened another cabinet. Inside was a piece of wood, a piece of wood with mushrooms growing on it.
"Damn it, the mushrooms are all fresh, and they're still on the wood." Even a gentle person like Su Mu couldn't help but swear.
"It's rare but strange." Wu Hai didn't care about this at all.
Just kidding, Yuan Zhou is the one who can get the extinct beef, so what does this mean?
But, how can Yuan Zhou let other chefs mess around like this? The taste of diners has been cultivated.
"I heard that shiitake mushrooms are the best meat in vegetables. Is this the shiitake mushrooms and vegetables in home cooking?" Su Mu had an expression of insight on the opportunity.
"We would know even if we don't tell you." Wu Hai stroked his mustache and waited for Yuan Zhou to do a good job so that he could get a share of the pie.
"I like to say it." Su Mu snorted.
But Yuanzhou was not affected at all. He picked up the bamboo knife and started cutting the mushrooms.
Most of the shiitake mushrooms on the wood are similar in length. This refers to the size, not the shape.
After cutting off six flowers, Yuanzhou stopped and put the wood back.
"Wow wow wow" The green vegetables were washed very clean in the flowing water. After washing, Yuanzhou specially soaked the green vegetables in the water and sprinkled a thin layer of salt inside.
The method of washing shiitake mushrooms is a little more complicated.
Yuan Zhou picked up all the mushrooms and put them into a large ceramic bowl, filled them with water, and used chopsticks as if beating eggs. He beat them repeatedly without damaging the mushrooms. During this period, the sediment in the folds of the mushrooms would slowly settle into the bowl. end.
The brownish-yellow sediment sank to the bottom of the snow-white bowl. Yuanzhou used chopsticks to pick out the mushrooms and replaced them with a bowl of water. He used this method again, changing the water four times and beating it about a thousand times.
Then take out the mushrooms for later use.
As for the green vegetables, they are naturally washed, and no iron tools are used to cut them in the whole process. They just break off the leaves one by one by hand.
"Duh duh duh" made the sound of the bamboo knife coming into contact with the cutting board. Following this sound, Yuan Zhou cut the mushrooms into uniform slices.
After all the ingredients were prepared, Yuanzhou started to stir-fry.
"I think it would look better if I used whole mushrooms." Su Mu turned to look at Wu Hai in confusion and asked.
"Restaurants do use whole ones, which is convenient for plating and decoration." Wu Hai, who has eaten in the most restaurants, affirmed.
"It will indeed look worse after this." The man in the suit rarely interrupted.
"But Boss Yuan has his own motives for doing this." What others think is unreasonable is naturally in line with common sense here in Yuanzhou.
"Plop, puff, puff" makes a wonderful sound between the oil pan and the vegetables and mushrooms.
This dish was meant to be fried quickly, and after a while Yuan Zhou began to put it on a plate and set it aside.
"Boom boom boom" Yuan Zhou dragged out a folding table from the side of the stairs and quickly set it up.
The table looked a little old, but it was extremely clean. It was soaked in grease and had a unique wood color shine. Yuan Zhou placed mushrooms and green vegetables in the middle of the table.
"Tavern time is coming, Shen Min, get ready." Yuan Zhou pulled down his mask and said to Shen Min beside him.
"Oh, okay boss." Shen Min nodded.
