Little Wu’s eyes lit up. This was the dish he had ordered, so he could eat it without worry. Furthermore, the fragrance was really appetizing, and he couldn’t control his saliva when he smelled it.
“Your cutting skills are really outstanding. It’s much better than the one we had last year. The fragrance also seems to be more fragrant.” Little Wu moved closer to take a look.
He found that the dried incense stick had been cut extremely thin, almost as thin as paper. However, it was still intact even after being fried to such a degree. Little Wu wasn’t a professional chef and thus couldn’t identify anything. However, that didn’t prevent him from thinking that Yuan Zhou’s knife skills were good.
The dried incense sticks he had eaten before were also very thin, but compared to the one in front of him, little Wu, who was a layman, could see that it was thinner and more difficult.
Xiao Wu was so entranced by the aroma that he picked up his chopsticks and was about to take a piece of dried incense to try it when a series of coughs woke him up.
Xiao Wu looked up and saw representative li, who was drinking water seriously. He came back to his senses. He didn’t come alone. He came with representative li. He had actually forgotten about it just now, which was a little embarrassing.
Although it was said that as long as I wasn’t embarrassed, the person who would be embarrassed would be someone else, but the person next to me was the leader, so it obviously wouldn’t work.
“Representative, let’s try it together. It smells pretty good.” Little Wu’s brain was quite quick, so she immediately invited him.
Representative li gently put down the cup and looked at the alluring color of the dried incense.””I’ll try it and see if it’s any different from the one I had last year. The ingredients look the same. ”
Without waiting for little Wu’s signal, he picked up the chopsticks that were neatly arranged next to him and began to eat. When little Wu saw that representative li had already picked up a piece of dried incense, she quickly reached out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of dried incense and put it into her mouth.
The rich fragrance of the bean spread out as he put the dried bean into his mouth. First, it was the spiciness of the chili, then the smooth and tender bean fragrance. The pure bean fragrance was stimulated by the fragrance of the chili, and the faint aroma of the marinade became stronger due to the chewing.
At the beginning, it was very tender, but as he bit into it, he felt that it was very tough and very comfortable to eat.
A hint of spiciness bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and while it was appetizing, it made the dried incense even more outstanding. At least, little Wu felt that he could finish half a bowl of rice with just one slice, especially with rice.
He didn’t need to confirm anything. Little Wu lowered his head and quickly reached out with his chopsticks. He ate two mouthfuls of rice after each piece, and then another piece. It couldn’t be helped. Although the rice was crystal clear, fragrant, and medium in texture, there was only one bowl. There would be nothing left after he finished it, so he had to eat it sparingly.
No matter how frugal he was, he finished the rice very quickly. After licking the last few grains of rice at the side of the bowl, he subconsciously wanted to eat another bowl.
Then, he was told that each person could only have one serving of each dish for each meal. Therefore, Lil ‘Wu could only watch as representative li ate the you county dried anchovy with the egg-fried rice. It was very fragrant.
Although it still tasted good when he ate it without eating, Xiao Wu felt that it was more delicious when it was eaten with rice. However, it was better to eat with an empty mouth than without rice. Therefore, he still ate a mouthful of dried incense and a mouthful of chili. It tasted pretty good.
The next dish that was served was a farmer’s bowl of incense, also known as “stuttering meat”. It was a famous home-cooked dish in the countryside of Xiang province. In fact, it was also a seasonal dish. It was fresh, tender, and nutritious when paired with fresh vegetables and streaky pork in spring.
The whole fried egg, the beautiful, slightly rolled streaky pork, and the other side dishes, such as the winter bamboo shoots, were really delicious.
At the very least, representative li and little Wu were very satisfied with the food.
Little Wu felt a little aggrieved, but he didn’t say it out loud. After all, he wasn’t paying. He had already made up his mind that he would definitely come over for a meal during his next vacation. He could eat whatever he wanted then, just two dishes!
The last dish to be served was, of course, Douban pork shoulder, which was ordered by representative li as the finale. Just by hearing the name, one could tell that it was definitely a famous dish in Sichuan Province.
In fact, the famous dishes in Sichuan Province were made from Pi County Douban and pork shank. The red, shiny, and glossy color was very comfortable.
The meat looked very thick, but it didn’t taste greasy at all. What amazed representative li the most was that, usually, because this dish needed to be cut into large pieces, when it was finished, it was either placed on the plate in pieces and poured sauce on it, or wrapped in whole pig elbows and turned into a whole. However, it was obvious that a knife had been used at first glance.
To be honest, representative li had looked through the food served in the restaurant, but he couldn’t find any trace of a knife cut. The perfect whole pig knuckle was doused with thick sauce, and the middle bone protruded out. There was no problem at all.
If he wasn’t sure of Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship, he would have doubted that this cooking method was different from the others. When he intended to divide the pig knuckle into pieces, the bones were separated from the pig knuckle. The pieces of skin and meat were almost of the same size. Each piece was covered with a lot of sauce after rolling on the plate, which looked very nice.
The fragrance of the meaty meat, the fragrance of the bean paste, and the slight spiciness made people feel as if their souls had been shaken. It was very comfortable.
He picked up a piece of meat and took a bite. The skin and meat were soft and sticky, fat but not greasy, and slightly spicy and fragrant. The sweet fragrance filled his mouth, and there was even a faint taste of chicken meat. Compared to the taste of fish and lamb, it was more mellow and natural.
This time, representative li called for Lil Wu at the beginning. The two of them acted almost at the same time. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the meat was cut into eight big pieces, four pieces for each person. In the end, only a smooth bone was left. Both of them stared at it at the same time. In the end, it was representative li who felt that he had to keep his image, so he reluctantly gave it to Lil Wu.
“The representative is indeed a good leader who is easy to approach.” Little Wu secretly gave a good impression to representative li.
Then, he unceremoniously picked up the bone and started licking it. There was no meat, but it was covered with sauce, which was not to be missed.
After the two of them finished the dishes, they quickly finished the food in the welcoming set meal. Even so, they still felt that the space in their stomachs was quite large. However, representative li was a self-disciplined person. He did not stay in the restaurant for a second longer. He immediately took Lil Wu and quickly walked out of the restaurant. Then, they slowed down. Since he had already come out, he wasn’t afraid that he would regret it. Even if he wanted to eat it now, there was no way.
“Xiao Wu, go to the hatchery for the meeting.” Representative li secretly touched his stomach and then turned his attention to work.
Without the interference of the food, even if he wasn’t full, Xiao Wu’s professionalism had returned. After hearing Representative Li’s instructions, he immediately contacted the driver to start work in the afternoon.
Yuan Zhou didn’t know that li was representing them in the lawsuit. He was still engrossed in cooking. When he was busy, time passed very quickly. Soon, the lunch time ended and the last customer left. The alcohol exchange meeting then sent him the latest progress and some matters that needed to be decided by Yuan Zhou.
Recently, Yuan Zhou had been using his phone more frequently, but it was all for work. Yin ya knew that.
After he was done, Yuan Zhou began to study the Fujian cuisine and the Shanghai cuisine. This was the final confirmation that the new dishes would be served soon.
