Chapter 2451: The pioneering mooncake
Translator: 549690339
Every flavor brought Hou Liang a whole new experience. The mooncakes he had eaten in the past were all winter melon filling.
This was the first time he had learned that mooncakes could be eaten in such a way. They were hot, fresh, delicious, meaty, and delicious. It was not an exaggeration to describe them.
Wuren, bean paste, lotus seed, egg yolk, and ham were all old varieties.
As technology advanced by leaps and bounds, people’s standards of living gradually improved, and their demands for mooncakes became higher and higher. Many new types of mooncakes were created, such as mooncakes with ice-skin fruits.
Of course, compared to Yuan Zhou’s preparation today, it was much weaker.
“I didn’t know that the eight seafood dishes could be used to make mooncakes. Is there anything special about the filling? are there any other seafood filling ingredients? what’s the success rate?” Hou Liang’s thoughts straightaway turned to data. His way of thinking was different from ordinary people. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to think about these things.
Actually, the plate of mooncakes looked like a lot because of its size. However, it was not easy to finish them, so it was announced that they were all finished in a short while.
“That’s very much boss Yuan. The serving is as small as usual. ” Hou Liang said.
Only after finishing the mooncake did Hou Liang notice the large bowl of steaming cream-white soup. He sniffed and said,”could it be soy milk?”
It didn’t look like it and it didn’t smell like soybean. The main reason was that Hou Liang had eaten the soybean milk and deep-fried dough sticks made by Yuan Zhou before. The snow-white and smooth soybean milk was completely different from the slightly sticky white liquid.
Just as Hou Liang was pondering over what this was, su Ruoyan arrived. This was the first time she had come to disturb a customer before they had finished their meal, and it was all because the food was being served.
“Hello, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival gift from my boss. I hope you like it.” Su Ruoyan carried a palm-sized plate over and placed it in front of Hou Liang.
There was a mooncake lying quietly inside. It was only the size of an egg, but it was obvious that it was a mooncake because it had the same brown and oily color as ordinary mooncakes and the familiar patterns.
......
“Mooncake?” Hou Liang was puzzled.
Didn’t you just finish the mooncake? Of course, to be able to eat an extra mooncake, even if it looked ordinary, was still a very happy thing.
“That’s right. Today is a rare double holiday. The boss gave every customer a gift to celebrate together.” Su Ruoyan repeated what she had said dozens of times today.
This was what Yuan Zhou had told su Ruoyan before the opening hours started. Of course, she had also received a small gift box in advance. It was not very big and was only the size of A4 paper. Even if she hadn’t opened it, she knew that there were definitely mooncakes inside. Just thinking about it made her excited.
“Thank you, boss Yuan.” What Hou Liang said was directed at Yuan Zhou who was standing in the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Yuan Zhou raised his head and gave a signal to Hou Liang. After that, he lowered his head and continued to work. Not only would the customers who came for breakfast receive gifts, but the customers for lunch, dinner, and the pub would also receive gifts. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was very busy.
Previously, he had only prepared enough for the customers for breakfast. Now, he was busy preparing for the customers for lunch. He had taken the time to prepare the stuffing while cooking the noodles last night. However, there was still a lot of work left until this morning. Therefore, Yuan Zhou appeared to be particularly busy.
After giving his thanks, Hou Liang started to study the soup at the same pace as before. The best way to study it was naturally to try it out.
As soon as the thick juice entered his mouth, a unique sour taste spread to the tip of his tongue. Hou Liang instantly realized what it was.
“So it’s rice milk. It’s really delicious.” Hou Liang licked his lips and gulped down a large bowl of rice milk in one go.
Originally, Yuan Zhou prepared the rice milk for the people who ate breakfast to get rid of the greasy feeling. After all, even if Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship was excellent and the mooncakes were just right, the people who ate the rice milk wouldn’t feel greasy. However, the sour rice milk was still very refreshing.
There were quite a few people like Hou Liang who remembered to drink after the event, so his actions didn’t appear too abrupt.
After drinking the rice milk, she finally had a chance to see Yuan Zhou’s gift. To be honest, it was the first time that Yuan Zhou had given her a gift like this after having eaten at the master chef Restaurant for so long. He had given gifts to all the customers who came to eat. The last time was when he gave out candies and he caught them himself.
This made him even more excited. Of course, Hou Liang didn’t know that this was the welfare given to the customers by Yuan Zhou to celebrate his engagement with Yin ya on a rare good day.
If he took it out alone to celebrate, it would seem that he was very high-profile. Yuan Zhou, who had always been low-key, indicated that a celebration could also be low-key, which was completely in line with his Code of Conduct.
He didn’t know how low-key this method was.
“Swish”
Hou Liang opened the small mooncake. The surface area of the mooncake was almost twice the size of the previous mini mooncake. As a result, it couldn’t be considered a mini mooncake. It could only be considered small and could be opened by hand.
This time, it was a very traditional ham mooncake. The glittering and translucent ham grains were wrapped in the soft filling, and it looked very appetizing.
Putting it in his mouth, the crispy and fragrant outer skin, the slightly sweet ham filling, and the rich meaty texture made one feel as if the entire ham was in his mouth. With the sweet taste as a primer, the aroma of the ham was more and more stimulated, and the combination with the crisp and soft outer skin was simply seamless.
“Today’s really a mooncake feast. I’ve learned a lot.” Hou Liang rubbed his stomach. Although he still felt that he could eat, he was satisfied.
If he was still not satisfied with the gift from Yuan Zhou, he would be struck by lightning.
Hou Liang had an appointment later. After he finished his breakfast, he didn’t dare to stay any longer and gave up his seat to the other party. Then, he headed to his usual spot.
Of course, as usual, Hou Liang still stopped at the side of Li Li’s Western restaurant not far away. He took advantage of the place that was so clean that it was as if there was no glass to take a picture of himself. He found that his clothes were neat and his face was handsome and perfect!
After smoothing out the slight wrinkle on his elbow, which was probably due to his large movements while eating, Hou Liang confirmed that his image was very good and began to walk toward the bar.
After Hou Liang left, the breakfast continued. Of course, it didn’t take long for it to end.
Today, almost everyone went out with a smile on their faces. There was no way that Cannonball coated in sugar would be powerful enough no matter where it was, let alone Yuan Zhou’s Cannonball coated in sugar. It could only be more powerful and could be called an atomic bomb.
At least, no one complained about the small portion at breakfast today. It had to be said that this was a little improvement?
“Thank you, boss. I wish you a happy holiday.” Before su Ruoyan left, she carried her small gift box and bowed to Yuan Zhou to thank him. Then, she ran away.
Yuan Zhou didn’t go back to his restaurant until he saw her figure disappear at the corner of the street. Since he wanted to share his joy, he naturally had to pay a price. For example, Yuan Zhou was busier than usual. He didn’t even talk to her when Yin ya left.
Yin ya was working overtime today. Otherwise, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t have let her fall asleep directly last night. Therefore, he was the only one busy in the restaurant at this time.
