Chapter 548

Each piece of the Crow Head in the brown coarse ceramic bowl was about the size of a 1-RMB coin, therefore the grandpa could only pick up one piece every time .

The boiled Crow Head was as white as jade and was slightly transparent . Due to the irregular shapes, they looked fairly interesting .

Once the Crow Head entered his mouth, the wheat fragrance contained on the surface could be felt . Upon biting it slightly, it tasted soft and a little chewy .

When it was bit open, there seemed to be some gravy, which tasted warm and delicious, inside the Crow Head .

“Huh, it turns out to be chicken soup . Good taste . ” The grandpa ate a piece and immediately gasped in admiration .

“It’s indeed very nice . ” Wu Hai also squinted at the Crow Head and said with satisfaction .

After that, the grandpa set down the chopsticks and drank a mouthful of the soup .

As it was clear chicken soup and all the oil had been removed, the soup was as transparent as water . However, it was full of the delicate flavor from the chicken meat .

As soon as it entered the mouth, the warm chicken soup immediately skimmed over one’s throat and meanwhile, the delicate flavor of the chicken meat stayed in the mouth .

After he gulped down the mouthful of the chicken soup, his mouth was immediately filled with the delicate fragrance . Although he didn’t eat the chicken meat, he felt even happier than eating it .

“It’s so fresh and delicious . How many old chickens were used to create such a good taste?” The grandpa looked at the chicken soup in the bowl with satisfaction .

“Yeah . After drinking it, I feel more spirited . ” The customer at the side drank another mouthful of the chicken soup while saying .

Putting aside others, the grandpa often drank chicken soup . After all, his wife enjoyed going to the countryside and buying free-range, native-bred chickens to make stewed chicken soup .

Therefore, the grandpa immediately recognized that the soup was stewed with an old chicken as soon as he drank . More importantly, the taste was still delicious and strong even after everyone drank a bowl of the soup .

Judging from that, Yuan Zhou had obviously used many ingredients in the chicken soup .

Nevertheless, that wasn’t the key point . The grandpa thought the dough ball would taste bland and tasteless since he had just drunk the tasty and refreshing chicken soup .

However, he knew he was wrong as soon as the dough ball entered his mouth .

As usual, the dough ball in the mouth was as big as a 1-RMB coin . When it was bit open, the wheat fragrance wasn’t overwhelmed by the tasty chicken soup in the mouth .

On the contrary, it was directly wrapped up . And when the dough ball was chewed, the wheat fragrance spread through the mouth .

Because of the different shapes, the chewiness of each piece was also a little different . Besides that, the grandpa even tasted a hint of saltiness this time .

The salty taste was deep inside the Crow Head . Just that little salty taste made entire flavor change again .

After all, the existence of saltines was like a general among the five tastes of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty . Therefore, the salty taste naturally dominated all other tastes in the mouth once it came out .

No matter if it was the fresh and delicious chicken soup or the chewy and soft Crow Head, the flavor became more plentiful with the saltiness as the fundamental taste .

Due to the delicious food served, the customers in the restaurant stopped debating which snack was chosen at last . However, those who waited outside hadn’t stopped yet .

“I saw the name just now . Surprisingly, it is the dough ball that wins . ” A customer felt a little discontented in the heart .

“What a pity! Anyhow, our Green Meatballs taste better than the dough ball . ” Another customer echoed at the side .

The two people seemed to be from one place . They were the fellow townsmen .

“That’s not a dough ball . We call it the Crow Head in my hometown,” said the customer whose recommendation was chosen . Dressed in a well-tailored business suit and a gray wool coat, he said in a cultured manner .

“Was it you who recommended this?” A customer at the side said immediately .

“Yeah, it’s me . I really can’t wait to try Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship . ” The person nodded the head and then said .

“What? Haven’t you been here for meals before?” The customer at the side asked .

“No, never . Because of some reasons, I have never been here before . ” The person nodded his head .

“What good luck you have! You have never eaten here before, but you are chosen once you vote . ” Among the customers beside him, one immediately said discontentedly .

“There’s no name on the paper slips . Boss Yuan already revealed the rules for choosing . ” The tall and slim guy that maintained the order around here immediately frowned and contradicted him .

“I’m just complaining . I also wanted Boss Yuan to cook the delicacies from my hometown . ” The customer said sorrowfully right away .

Of course, he was a little dissatisfied with the dough ball in the heart . Moreover, there were pretty many people who also thought this way .

“Luck . I just had good luck . ” The cultured man said smilingly with a modest tone .

However, such kind of modesty only made others want to beat him up .

“So you voted for the Crow Head?” A customer suddenly asked .

“Yeah . ” The cultured man nodded the head .

“Isn’t it also named as the Dough Mouse?” The customer questioned .

“They are the same . In different places, they are called differently . As far as I know, it also has the name of Chicken Head, Boyu Noodles or Dough Monkey . ” The cultured man answered earnestly .

“When you say it like that, I also heard of another name, Wheatland Frog . It has this name just because that thing is like the peeled leg of a frog . Tsk-tsk . ” This customer even made a sound of “tsk-tsk” when he said to the latter part . Presumably, he felt the name of Wheatland Frog was inappropriate .

“Boss Yuan doesn’t cook it like the leg of a frog, does he?” It was a girl who asked that . She seemed to care more about the appearance of the food .

Indeed, some girls cannot accept the behavior of eating frogs .

“No, he doesn’t . I saw the food very clearly . They are all white and round dough balls . ” Immediately, another customer comforted her .

After the subject changed, somebody proposed a suggestion .

“Why don’t we discuss what to vote today?” The customer suggested .

“Yeah, right . We concentrated on a wrong subject just now . Let’s discuss about this one . ” Other customers echoed him one after another .

Then, the customers began to look back upon the past life . Because of the strange name of Crow Head, the names they wrote on the paper slips were mainly odd ones .

For some snacks that couldn’t be cooked or if they just heard of during their childhood, these customers didn’t let go of them, either . Furthermore, some were not even snacks .

After they inserted the paper slips into the box enthusiastically, it was their turn to enter the restaurant for their meals . And the one who wasn’t satisfied with the dough ball just now was just among them .

However, the dissatisfaction immediately vanished after Zhou Jia carried the dough balls to them and they had a taste .

With the Crow Head being the example, the customers all knew that Yuan Zhou would choose one snack to cook, thus they were especially enthusiastic about writing the recommendations .

Therefore, the paper slips couldn’t even be taken out when Yuan Zhou went to carry the box in the evening . The box was stuffed with too many paper slips .

“They are so enthusiastic . The amount of the paper slips seemed to double today . ” Shen Min volunteered to dismantle the box . “

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head and waited in silence .

The amount has indeed, more than double . Yuan Zhou had prepared five stacks of white paper beforehand today, however, the customers still prepared several stacks of white paper by themselves .

Judging from that, the customers’ enthusiasm could be seen .

“Boss Yuan, do you need me to read for you today?” Shen Min took out some paper slips and then asked .

“Not really . ” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively .

“Okay . I’m going upstairs . ” Shen Min nodded the head and went back to the second floor .

Although the paper slips more than doubled, some were actually repeated ones . Therefore, Yuan Zhou only checked those new snacks .
