Ever since he had eaten twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu, two popular Chinese dishes in the world, Qiao Hongtao felt that Chinese dishes were quite good, especially those made by Yuan Zhou.

The steamed buns for breakfast now gave Qiao Hongtao a whole new experience. He had eaten quite a few steamed buns before, but the fillings were much more precious than this. There were sea cuc.u.mber buns, shark fin meat buns, and so on Singapore, but none of them were as delicious as the plain filling in front of him.

After finis.h.i.+ng the spicy bun, Qiao Hongtao couldnt wait to pick up the non-spicy one.

If the spicy bun was a heavy-tasting Beijing Opera, then the non-spicy bun should be a Huangmei opera in the soft language of Wu. One was heavy and elegant, while the other was sweet and melodious. They were both delicious.

Its just that the amount is really a little too little. I dont feel full at all. Qiao Hongtao looked at Yuan Zhous direction with a little resentment.

He knew about the rules, but he didnt try to see if they could be changed. He just had to follow the rules set by such a good master. Otherwise, he would lose more than he could gain if he didnt get to eat.

At this time, Qiao Hongtao felt that he might have really wronged President Wu last night. Maybe there was really a lack of food, and not that he had been eaten secretly.

The delicious breakfast time soon came to an end. With two fist-sized buns and a lot of stuffing, the girls were basically full, and even the boys were 70% to 80% full. Those who could wait until noon for lunch, while those who couldnt wait had a lot of breakfast stalls outside to choose from, which was very convenient.

As for Yuan Zhou, he continued to practice his cutting skills after was.h.i.+ng up. The lunch time arrived as scheduled. Without Wu Hais partic.i.p.ation, even if it was slightly dull, it still couldnt stop everyones foodie heart. When they ordered the dishes, they all ordered according to the upper limit of their stomach, with no exception.

At most, they would eat a bowl of noodles or noodles outside, or some snacks from the stalls to fill their stomachs before going to master chef Restaurant for a meal. In any case, they would not want to go out unless they were full.

After the lunch time, Yuan Zhou thought for a while and decided to practice his knife skills. The members of the green Chef society wouldnt come today and the weather was bad. The drizzling rain started to wreak the land not long after lunch, so it wasnt good to get wet outside.

If he didnt practice outside the door, he could practice his left-hand cutting skill in the kitchen. Although Yuan Zhou felt that he didnt need to rush to practice the second collectors level cutting skill, he still seized the opportunity to practice it when he had free time. He had always felt that Practice Made Perfect.

The rain was heavy, but there were many foodies eating in the rain. As long as it was not a heavy rain, they could ignore it. Taoxi road was still very prosperous.

Here and here, dont let people set up stalls in these places. It will affect boss Yuans business. Do you understand? Chief w.a.n.g was still checking the situation on Taoxi road even in the rain.

The area near master chef Restaurant was especially important. Although master chef Restaurant occupied a large area and Yuan Zhous territory was on both sides of the restaurant except for the small restaurants that were often open, director w.a.n.g still checked the restaurant very carefully every day.

Moreover, they were determined not to give the peripheral positions of these places to those people who set up stalls, in order to prevent delaying Yuan Zhous business.

Every time he checked these places, he would remind the people below him. This was a custom.

Just when Yuan Zhou intended to start practicing his left-handed knife skills and director w.a.n.g was inspecting the overall situation of Taoxi road, a person came to the intersection.

His hair was white, and although he looked old, he was definitely strong. He was carrying a large white foam box with one hand and an umbrella in the other.

Although there seemed to be a lot of things, the persons pace was steady and fast. It didnt take long for him to enter Taoxi road.

Ta ta ta.

Originally, Yuan Zhou didnt pay much attention to the sound of the footsteps. Due to the rain, the sound of the footsteps was very loud when walking outside because there was water. But this time, the footsteps seemed to be coming for his restaurant.

Who would come at this time? Yuan Zhou had intended to enter the kitchen, but he stopped and stood by the part.i.tion, looking at the continuous rain outside.

Soon, a figure holding an umbrella came into view. The umbrella was held a little low, so his face couldnt be seen clearly. He could only see half of a short-sleeved jacket that looked like a Tang suit, a pair of black pants, and a pair of cloth shoes with a thousand-layered sole. Fortunately, the drainage facilities on Taoxi road were good, so there was no acc.u.mulated water.

When they arrived at the entrance, the person first placed the box in his hand carefully on the ground, then put the umbrella away by the door, and then carried the box in his arms. This time, he carried it with both hands. At this time, the person raised his head and looked into the store.

Are you head chef Yuan? Although the person had seen Yuan Zhou, he didnt know Yuan Zhou himself. He only knew that Yuan Zhou was very young. Now that he saw Yuan Zhou, he naturally needed to confirm it.

Yuan Zhou saw that the person was already very old and his face was full of wrinkles. Although his eyes were still full of spirit, it couldnt hide the traces of time. Therefore, before the person asked, he directly lifted the part.i.tion and walked out.

Im yuan Zhou. May I know what business you have here? come in quickly. Yuan Zhou walked to the door and directly called the old man to come in.

Yuan Zhou had always been very respectful to older people. Therefore, when he saw that the person was not young anymore, he directly called him in.

Following Yuan Zhous actions, the old man first stomped his feet outside carefully to get some water off his feet before he walked in and put the box on the table at the side.

After Yuan Zhou poured a cup of warm water for the old man, he asked again,Old man, is there something you need me for?

Im here to deliver some food to head chef Yuan. I made this dish myself in the past. I hope head chef Yuan doesnt mind. The old man opened the foam box and revealed the contents.

It was a transparent jar that was slightly bigger than the gla.s.s jars used to make wine. There were some yellow-brown food and a little water stains inside, but it was just enough to moisten the yellow-brown food.

Is this a piece of salty lime? After Yuan Zhou received the Cantonese dishes, he also made two cans of them to go with the seafood.

Adding a little salty lime into the seafood would cause a complete change in its taste. It was one of the best ingredients to go with seafood.

Many Cantonese cuisine Masters had their own unique ideas about salty lime.

I marinated this myself ten years ago. Its been quite old and I marinated it with sea salt. It should taste alright. I hope head chef Yuan doesnt mind. The old man said to Yuan Zhou while looking at the bottle gently.

This Yuan Zhou was a little hesitant.

At first glance, he knew that the jar of salty lime was definitely the old mans favorite. Although people often sent things to Yuan Zhou, it was the first time that they came so suddenly.

Im sorry, I havent introduced myself. My name is Zhang Haisen, Zhang Longquans father. Im here to thank head chef Yuan for helping my son. Its not anything good, just a token of my appreciation. The old man, Zhang Haisen, suddenly remembered that he had been rude to give a gift without saying anything.
