The youtiao let out a crisp cracking sound and broke into two pieces in Huang Fei’s hand. The White dough was exposed at the broken part and it gave off a burnt smell of youtiao.
“It’s oily but not greasy, and it has the fragrance of flour. It should be the wheat ground this morning. ” Huang Fei thought.
Because he had opened it with his hands, Huang Fei naturally put down the half of the youtiao in his left hand, then stared at his own hands with a burning gaze.
As expected, his hands were as dry as before.
“This is simply impossible.” Huang Fei pinched the youtiao in his hand in disbelief. Only then did his hand get stained with a layer of oil.
This time, Huang Fei was completely dumbfounded. To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that there was still some oil on his hand, Huang Fei would have suspected that this youtiao wasn’t fried.
For a moment, Huang Fei was wondering if the deep-fried dough sticks could be steamed.
“How is it?” Wang Qiang said.
“I actually know that in theory, it’s possible to do it without getting oil on your hands.” Huang Fei said in a daze.
“In theory? In theory, my cooking skills should be better than head chef Yuan ‘s. After all, I have been learning cooking for a longer time than him. Moreover, I have a famous teacher to teach me, right?” Wang Qiang said in a bad mood.
When a person became famous, his experience would be dug out. That was called the experience of a celebrity. Almost everyone in the circle of chefs now knew that Yuan Zhou was a model of self-taught talent.
“Yeah, that’s only in theory. That’s why you can’t compare to head chef Yuan. We can’t do that either.” Huang Fei sighed.
“…” These words were a bit piercing, but Wang Qiang couldn’t refute it at all.
Wang Qiang expressed that he still ate his breakfast seriously and didn’t want to talk to Huang Fei.
The blow was only temporary. Huang Fei’s recovery ability was still very strong. Or rather, the fragrance of the youtiao in front of him was still very attractive.
As a result, Huang Fei quickly pulled himself together, picked up the youtiao and started eating.
“Cha Cha Cha,” Huang Fei took a few bites in a row.
Very quickly, half of the deep-fried dough stick was gone. Only when there was only half left did Huang Fei come back to his senses and eat it carefully.
This time, he had the chance to dip it in soy milk.
Huang Fei dipped the end of the youtiao into the silicone bowl. The snow-white soy milk and golden youtiao had a strong visual impact. Huang Fei took a bite after dipping it a little.
The outer layer of the youtiao, which had been soaked in soybean milk, became soft and didn’t have a crunchy feeling when bitten. Instead, it became soft and carried a strong bean fragrance. When he chewed, the inner layer of the youtiao emitted a strong wheat fragrance.
The soft and sticky outer layer of the youtiao had the charred fragrance of the deep-fried oil droplets, while the inner layer had a tough texture and a rich wheat fragrance.
It could be said that it was as delicious as it was without soy milk, but the taste was completely different.
“Oh, both are delicious.” Huang Fei squinted his eyes and satisfyingly took another bite of the deep-fried dough stick.
After dipping half of the youtiao in the soy milk, the bottom of the silicone bowl could be seen. Huang Fei came back to his senses and couldn’t help but say,””The soybean milk is too little.”
“I also think so.” Wang Qiang couldn’t help but interrupt again.
“Why don’t we switch?” Huang Fei looked at the soy milk in Wang Qiang’s bowl and pushed his own silicone portable bowl toward him.
“You can pour it for me first.” Wang Qiang said.
“Then forget it.” Huang Fei refused.
“Little brat, you’re still too inexperienced.” Wang Qiang saw Huang Fei’s alert look and understood what was going on. He snorted in his heart and turned back to eat his soy milk and fried dough sticks.
A bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks. This amount of breakfast was quickly finished by the four of them, even if it was just necessities.
After the meal, the four of them stood up and left the chairs together. When Yuan Zhou turned around and put down the dishes, they bowed to him together.
This bow was 90 degrees. It could be said to be very respectful.
Seeing the four people leave, the customers in the restaurant were not surprised and didn’t even look back.
Not to mention that he wasn’t the first person to bow to Yuan Zhou after eating, even the zither maker who bowed at the door every time he finished eating could pass by without even looking sideways.
After all, he had seen everything when he was eating in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show that he had received their bow and then continued to go back to the kitchen.
As soon as the four of them went out, they moved to the corridor on the side. Hao Cheng was the first to speak,””Did you guys take notes?”
The three of them were stunned by his words, and then they felt ashamed. They lowered their heads and said in a low voice,””None of them.”
“It’s fine. This is the first time I’ve expected such a situation, so I didn’t do it. I’ll do it at noon. ” Hao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a relaxed expression.
“I’ll definitely remember to take notes at noon. ” Huang Fei clenched his fist.
“Yes, I’ll definitely remember this afternoon.” Liu Li touched his belly and said seriously.
“I’ll remember it too. Have a bite first and then take notes. ” Wang Qiang said.
“That’s good. After all, we’re here to learn cooking, so we shouldn’t neglect the fundamentals and pursue the trivial.” Hao Cheng said.
“By the way, head chef Yuan’s youtiao has reached a level where the oil doesn’t get on your hands. I have a new idea about this and want to verify it.” Huang Fei suddenly said.
“Sure, let’s go together.” Hao Cheng nodded.
“Ahem, ahem.” Just as the four of them were discussing how to verify the deep-fried food, a series of coughs interrupted them.
The four of them raised their heads at the same time. They saw master Cheng, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and suit pants, standing three steps away from them with his short hair.
The four of them instantly felt a little embarrassed, because they knew master Cheng. Although they had paid a special visit to Yuan Zhou before they came here, they were really too embarrassed to meet master Cheng.
They were here to steal the craftsmanship of the master. Although Yuan Zhou was generous and extremely confident, it was hard to say for sure as his disciples.
In any case, putting themselves in their shoes, it should be known that if they encountered someone who secretly learned their master’s skills, a beating would be considered a light punishment. Naturally, they would not have a good expression, so Hao Cheng and the other three were naturally very embarrassed.
“Oh, chef Hao, why didn’t you come to my place?” Master Cheng said.
“It’s not that we’re afraid of disturbing you. We know that master Cheng is very busy helping head chef Yuan with his matters, so we didn’t disturb you.” Hao Cheng said wittily.
“That’s true. My master doesn’t have many things to do, but each and every one of them is important. We can’t be careless.” Master Cheng nodded his head and said.
“Yes, yes. That’s why we didn’t bother you, master Cheng.” Liu Li touched his big belly, which was similar to master Cheng ‘s, and nodded with a smile.
“I’m not important, but master doesn’t like to be disturbed while he’s improving his cooking skills. ” Master Cheng looked at the four people and said earnestly.
“Of course. We will definitely not disturb head chef Yuan.” Huang Fei replied.
“That’s good, but are you going to come here empty-handed to watch my master cook?” Master Cheng said the words that he had been planning for a long time.
That’s right. Although master Cheng said that he was fine last night, he was still worried that they would do something reckless. Therefore, he had come here early in the morning to check on them.
However, seeing that the four of them were still very polite, he didn’t go and greet them. He only thought of something else when he saw the four of them bow as they left.
When master Cheng handed in his homework the last two times, he found Yuan Zhou was reading the ancient books. As his apprentice, he naturally gave him the recipes that he had collected at the first moment.
However, who would complain about having too many recipes? that was why there was this saying. If it was not convenient for the master to say it, he, as the only disciple, had to say it.
At first, the four of them were stunned by master Cheng’s words. Then, they reacted.
