Chapter 2061: What’s the secret recipe

It was loose and soft. When the chopsticks picked it up, a part of it would be dented. It was very fluffy. When he looked closer, he found that the surface of the mantou was very smooth and glossy. It was very smooth and glowed with a little bit of oil. It had an obviously different color from the mantou made of ordinary flour.
“Awoo!”
Jiang Nuan opened her mouth and bit off half of it in one bite. She swallowed it and chewed. The first thing she felt was the faint fragrance of the Lotus leaves, followed by the soft texture. After chewing carefully, there was a hint of sweetness and a natural hint of sourness.
“Grandma’s secret recipe?” Jiang Nuan was stunned.
It was just a little, and if one didn’t pay attention, they wouldn’t have noticed it. It was the familiar sour taste that awakened Jiang Nuan’s memory.
This type of sourness was not that of vinegar, acidic acid, or anything else, nor was there any seasoning added. In his memory, the rice mantou that his grandma made had a special sourness.
“Although it’s not as delicious as the one made by my grandma in my memory, it’s really not my illusion. Boss yuan can really make the authentic rice mantou!”
Jiang Nuan could feel boss Yuan’s awesomeness. After all, that was her grandmother’s Secret recipe and she had never heard of anyone else knowing it. She decided to ask boss Yuan about the secret recipe after she finished eating.
“That’s good. ” Jiang Nuan stuffed the remaining half into her mouth.
Her cheeks were puffed up like a hamster eating, making her look even more petite and cute. Of course, her eyes were a little red, making her look a little like a rabbit.
“You’re crying? How is it? is it good?” Zhong Xiaoxiao really wanted to eat it, but when she saw Jiang Nuan’s eyes suddenly redden, she didn’t dare to move.
Jiang Nuan’s almond-shaped eyes blinked as if she had just snapped out of her daze. Hearing the caution in Zhong Xiaoxiao’s words, she blinked away the tears in her eyes again and nodded vigorously. “It’s very delicious. I’m especially grateful to you for bringing me here. It has the taste I like.”
He used a few words of affirmation to express his meaning, and even gave a big thank you at the end.
......
“Hahaha. It’s good that you like it. I feel that boss Yuan will definitely satisfy you if you introduce your customers to master chef Restaurant.” Zhong Xiaoxiao paused.”It’s so delicious. I have to try it. I’ve been craving it for a long time.”
As he spoke, he picked up a mantou and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, he was immediately conquered by the fluffy and sweet texture. The special sourness with the taste of rice became its unique symbol and was very delicious.
“I feel like I’ve found another treasure. Little Yanzi, order me a rice bun too.”
“I’ll have two servings for two people. ”
“I’ll have one too,”
When the surrounding diners saw the two girls eating with enjoyment, they immediately called su Ruoyan, who was beside them, to order the mantou. The food was not expensive, and one serving was less than 100 yuan. It could be eaten once in a while.
To be honest, master chef Restaurant might be the only restaurant in the world that didn’t even need to pay a deposit to order food.
Even Wu Hai, who ate the dishes every day in master chef Restaurant, didn’t dare to say that he had eaten all the dishes on the menu. After all, the cuisines were really huge. Even a beast couldn’t eat much every day, let alone an ordinary person.
More importantly, not everyone had the power of a nouveau riche like Wu Hai. To be able to treat master chef Restaurant as a canteen, it was already impressive if one came here a few times a week. Moreover, one had to have money and leisure time.
Therefore, it was a basic operation to follow the customers in the restaurant when they saw them ordering delicious food.
“There are five rice buns left today. The first five customers who made the offer can eat today. The rest can make reservations today and come back a week later.” Yuan Zhou said directly while the dishes were carried out.
Every time he prepared the ordered dishes, Yuan Zhou would consciously make more. First, it was more convenient to make more dishes when there were more dishes. Second, everyone would order all the dishes at the same time, which Yuan Zhou had already gotten used to.
“Thank you, boss Yuan. I’d like to have one serving,”
“Hahaha, that’s great. I can eat it now.”
“I’ll just eat with my wife next week. I’ll give the spot to the person behind me. ”
The customers were very supportive of Yuan Zhou’s words and said one after another according to their own requirements. When they saw Yuan Zhou carrying out five plates of white cloud-like rice mantou deftly, the atmosphere became even more intense.
After Jiang Nuan finished her meal, she sat on the long bench outside, waiting for lunch to end. She wanted to ask about the secret recipe for the rice mantou.
Zhong Xiaoxiao also accompanied him and waited. One by one, the customers entered the restaurant with an empty stomach and left in satisfaction.
When lunchtime ended, Yuan Zhou also noticed Jiang Nuan and Zhong Xiaoxiao who were waiting outside.
“Boss Yuan, I have something to ask you.” Jiang Nuan went straight to the point, knowing that she couldn’t waste Yuan Zhou’s time.
“Please ask.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“I want to ask about the cooking method of the rice mantou.” Jiang Nuan suddenly thought of asking a chef about his cooking method. Wasn’t that the same as asking a magician about the secrets of magic?
Therefore, Jiang Nuan told him everything about her grandmother’s Secret recipe and the rice bun.
“I want to know whether it’s a coincidence that the rice mantou cooked by boss Yuan is similar to the rice mantou made by my grandma’s secret recipe or something else.” Jiang Nuan summarized the problem.
Yuan Zhou thought for a while and didn’t know how to answer.
“Well, isn’t my question a little too much?” “I’m sorry, boss Yuan,”Jiang Nuan immediately apologized.
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. It’s just that there’s no technique or secret recipe for the rice mantou. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“What?” Jiang Nuan looked at Yuan Zhou in a daze.
“I was just thinking that rice mantou is a pastry naturally fermented with rice. Although it’s called mantou, it doesn’t actually need to be kneaded like mantou, so there’s no way to knead it.”
Yuan Zhou briefly explained the cooking process to Jiang Nuan,””You just need to use a few days to mix the rice with the sweet wine, grind it into a paste to ferment, and finally put it into a mold. The shape of my rice mantou is different from the others because of the mold.”
Even if Jiang Nuan didn’t know how to cook, she could still understand after hearing Yuan Zhou’s explanation. Moreover, Jiang Nuan knew how to cook.
“Then what’s my grandma’s secret recipe?” Jiang Nuan’s mind was in a mess. What she actually wanted to ask was, if there was no secret recipe, why did she only get to taste this kind of food at her grandmother’s and master chef’s restaurant?
Although he didn’t finish his words, Yuan Zhou already understood. Therefore, he expressed his opinion.
“The sour taste that you’re eating is different from the other rice mantou. It’s the taste of the sweet rice wine that has been fermented for a long time. So, it will take at least five days to prepare in advance. Also, the clarity of the rice milk also requires time. ”
Yuan Zhou said,”I think Ms. Jiang’s grandma has prepared it in advance and is very careful. Ms. Jiang, you can think about it carefully. Every time before you want to go back, your grandma will ask for a more accurate time.”
He made it clear, and with that reminder, Jiang Nuan really thought about it. Every time she wanted to go home, her grandparents would be very happy. For example, during the National Day holiday, her grandmother would call in the middle of September to ask if she would be coming home for the holiday.
Even so, due to work issues, Jiang Nuan would only return home two or three times a year.
“I see.” Jiang Nuan’s heart was filled with happiness, and she thanked him solemnly.””Thank you, boss Yuan,”
