Chapter 2644

It was a little cumbersome, and it was hard to tell how Qian Minghui managed to carry the two boxes in one hand. It was really puzzling.

Qian Minghui carefully placed the two boxes on the table in front of him. There was already a bulging briefcase on the table, and now there were two medium-sized boxes. They really took up almost all the space in front of him.

After a good fiddling, the two small boxes, which were originally stretched a little closer to the next table, were pushed down.

However, the length of the box was relatively long. It took up the entire length in front of him along with the briefcase, but there was still a lot of space left in the width, especially in front of Qian Minghui’s chest. Even the space for the plates was carefully calculated.

While Qian Minghui was arranging the strange tools, Yuan Zhou quickly finished cooking a dish he ordered, the hibiscus chicken slices.

This dish was definitely one of the classic dishes of Lu cuisine. Although its name and cooking method looked simple, it actually had a high requirement for cutting skills. Otherwise, the chicken slices would not be as white as Jade and have a grainy feeling. It also required a high control of the heat, otherwise the chicken slices would not be as smooth and tender as tofu, melting in the mouth.

Previously, after Yuan Zhou obtained the silver spoon of Lu cuisine, it could be said that he had mastered both the cutting skills of Lu cuisine and the fire art. Even Zhou Shijie, who had been famous for a long time, was still far behind Yuan Zhou in this aspect. Zhou Shijie was very pleased with this.

He was already at the age where he knew his fate. It would be a sad thing if he had no successor. Although Yuan Zhou wasn’t taught by him, Yuan Zhou’s Lu cuisine had definitely reached the peak of perfection. Since he had a successor, nothing else mattered.

Zhou Shijie was an open-minded person. The Lu cuisine Association that he led could be considered to be a rather harmonious place. He held Yuan Zhou in high esteem. Although it was a pity that Yuan Zhou was not only proficient in Lu cuisines, but in every cuisines and they were even on par with each other, everyone would still acknowledge Yuan Zhou as the leader of their Lu cuisines.

Where there were people, there would be a world of martial arts. Everyone’s heart was on their chest, and they naturally had many thoughts. However, when faced with someone who was much stronger than you, to the point that you couldn’t catch up even if you took a rocket, jealousy, framing, and so on would all become illusory things.

The hibiscus chicken slice, one of the representative works of Lu cuisine, had also reached a new level in Yuan Zhou’s hands. It could be said that he had raised the standard of the hibiscus chicken slice with his own strength.

In the past, it was already considered a perfect work to hang the chicken slices into the shape of hibiscus petals and then arrange them in a similar shape. However, with the improvement of Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, the dishes he cooked would naturally improve as well.

White as Jade, layers of hibiscus flowers bloomed on the plate in different shapes and sizes. Even if they were all in full bloom, they were all different. Occasionally, they were dotted with green bean sprouts, just like the faint branches and leaves of hibiscus flowers, making people face the gorgeous beauty of the flowers in full bloom.

At the very least, even though Qian Minghui was well-prepared and had high expectations in his heart, he was still amazed when he saw the dish.

At this moment, he realized that human imagination was sometimes very poor. Some things could not be understood just by thinking.

“Hiss, this is too beautiful. People would believe that it’s a real flower. Such a beautiful thing should be shared with more people to eat.”

Qian Minghui stared at the hibiscus chicken slices for a long time before he finally made up his mind and took out a clean small plate with golden edges from the black cloth bag.

He took out a pack of wet tissues and took out a piece to wipe the small plate that was already clean before he stopped. Then, he sniffed hard and found that the wet tissue was indeed tasteless. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a hibiscus flower with his chopsticks and placed it on the small plate.

Although Qian Minghui tried his best to recreate it, he was still a rookie in the art. When it reached the small plate, the hibiscus looked as if it had been ravaged by the wind and rain, becoming particularly miserable. Of course, this did not affect its taste at all, as it was still very fresh and rich.

After picking out a flower, Qian Minghui carefully opened the bigger box. Although the box looked small, the space inside was quite large, especially when many places were folded together. It could hold a lot of things. At a glance, this small box had three layers, and each layer could hold a plate the size of a hibiscus chicken slice.

“As expected of the genius Mr. Xin’s masterpiece. The fact that I was able to find Mr. Xin to cooperate with me proves that I’m also a genius. There’s no reason for two geniuses to not succeed.” Qian Minghui was full of confidence.

After placing the rest of the hibiscus chicken slices on the lowest layer, Qian Minghui closed the small box and adjusted the temperature to 20 degrees at the lock before starting to eat the hibiscus chicken slices on the small plate.

The crisp, tender, and bright green bean sprouts were crisp and refreshing, bringing with them the unique fragrance of beans. Although they looked very light on the surface, each bean sprout was wrapped in a thin layer of transparent juice. The rich and fresh taste, along with the refreshing texture of the bean sprouts, made people feel as if a spring breeze was blowing on their bodies, extremely comfortable.

The bean sprouts were already so delicious, let alone the chicken slices. They were a combination of the fresh and delicious taste of the chicken and fish. Not only did they have the taste of the land, but they also had the taste of the lake. They melted in the mouth, and they were so tender that it made people want to swallow their tongues.

In any case, a hibiscus flower had more flowers but smaller petals due to Yuan Zhou’s improvement. They were all reduced to the same proportion. Moreover, the marks on the surface and other things were exactly the same as before and even more exquisite. The number of petals didn’t decrease either.

However, he couldn’t stand Qian Minghui eating one after another. He almost forgot his ultimate purpose for coming here and was immersed in the delicious food.

Fortunately, he still had the last bit of clarity in his heart. Of course, it was only when the next dish was served that he came back to his senses.

The next dish served was Di San Xian. As a famous dish in the northeast, it was also a well-known dish. Although Yuan Zhou didn’t receive the cuisines of the three provinces in the northeast, he received the cuisines of many ethnic minorities. In fact, the northeast was also a place where various ethnic groups lived together. Therefore, Di San Xian was not only available to the Han people, but also the Manchurians.

This dish was made using the Manchurians ‘cooking method. Of course, Qian Minghui did not know about these subtle differences. He only knew that his favorite dish had been served.

The Golden potato pieces, the soft and juicy eggplant, and the juicy and tender green pepper were all beckoning to Qian Minghui. ‘Come and eat me, come and eat me!’ There was even a voice-over, so he didn’t have time to put the stir-fried eggplant into a small plate and ate it on a large one.

The deep-fried potatoes and eggplants were rich in juice. The potatoes were soft and sticky, and the eggplants were crisp and fragrant. In addition, almost all the juice had been stewed inside. The taste was rich and fresh, and Qian Minghui could not stop at all.
