Chapter 695

It was currently not in season for peas to be ripened . Therefore, if one ate peas at this time of the year, it wouldn’t taste as good as fresh peas .

However, this problem did not exist for Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

That was why Yu Chu had swallowed the pea in his mouth without hesitation .

“Umm, it’s soft and has a slight taste of starch attached to it . This is indeed Boss Yuan’s handiwork,” Yu Chu remarked in satisfaction .

The pea Yu Chu ate here was completely different from the frozen peas he ate at Gan River .

The peas Yuan Zhou used on the tofu were soft yet had a crispy layer of shell around them . They also tasted very fresh . One would immediately realize that these peas were fresh peas instead of frozen peas the moment they ate it .

“This guy is eating tofu like he’s eating some exotic delicacies,” Ling Hong commented with disdain .

“That was how you acted when you first ate here,” Wu Hai commented bitingly . The food he ordered had yet to arrive .

“Um . ” Jiang Changxi nodded .

“But my reaction was not as exaggerated as him . ” As far as Ling Hong was concerned, someone as handsome and smart like him would never reveal the gluttonous expression Yu Chu had on him .

“Why did you order White Oil Tofu earlier then?” Wu Hai pushed on .

“Are we going to have a cheerful conversation or not?” Ling Hong was speechless .

“Sure we can . Give me half your tofu and I’ll make that happen,” Wu Hai said while stroking his mustache .

“Forget it . Continue saying whatever you want,” Ling Hong made an inviting gesture .

“As the Rich Guy, how can you be so lacking in generosity? I feel sad on behalf of the wallet in your pocket,” Wu Hai said with contempt .

Ling Hong completely ignored Wu Hai and sat there silently waiting for his food .

Yu Chu was also silently eating his food . Only chewing sounds could be heard from him .

He was currently eating the salty tofu .

The salty tofu was not cold like the sweet tofu . It was hot, or to be precise, it was scalding hot .

“Hiss, it’s very hot . ” Yu Chu was sticking his tongue out as the tofu was too hot .

Immediately after, the salty flavor rushed into his throat, giving him an urge to continue chewing on the tofu . And the moment he continued chewing, the gravy within the tofu started flowing out . It was both hot and tasty, causing him to feel like spitting it out yet at the same time, he couldn’t bear to spit it out .

In order to keep the fragrance contained within his mouth, Yu Chu was even forced to shut his mouth tightly .

“Hiss, hot, so hot, so very hot,” Yu Chu repeated after swallowing the tofu .

The swallowed tofu felt like a clump of fire coursing down his throat to reach his chest . This immediately warmed Yu Chu up .

He had been on the road all day long with the cold wind blowing against him his entire journey . This was the moment when he finally felt some warmth .

The warmth spread from his stomach to his entire body .

“One more bite,” Yu Chu sighed and continued eating .

He gave up on all inhibitions and before his other dishes arrived, he had already finished his plate of tofu .

“Salty, fragrant, tender, smooth, and hot . Thank you, Director Jiang,” Yu Chu said to Jiang Changxi .

“You’re welcome . Do you feel much warmer now after eating the tofu?” Jiang Changxi teased .

“Yes . And I also know why this dish does not need to be eaten with a spoon . It is tender and springy so a spoon is not required . In fact, it tastes even better when using chopsticks,” Yu Chu answered with a nod .

Yu Chu had ordered six dishes, a bowl of white rice, and a drink yet he was able to finish everything himself . While eating, he was also protecting his food from Wu Hai who was seated beside him .

Before they left, Jiang Changxi gave Yu Chu a flabbergasted look and said, “I am quite shocked by the amount of food you can eat . “

One ought to remember that Yu Chu was normally a person who only ate a bowl of oatmeal at a time . Yet this time, he had eaten so much food .

“Don’t worry . My salary is enough to feed me,” Yu Chu said .

“I know that . Ok, go back and rest earlier . You still have a meeting tomorrow,” Jiang Changxi nodded and said .

“Goodbye, Director Jiang,” Yu Chu left with his luggage .

Yuan Zhou’s restaurant officially ended the dinner hour . Now, it was time for liquor .

Under the dark night, the few customers were drinking Bamboo Liquor on the second floor of the building beside the restaurant . Although there was no roof, it did not feel cold there . They drank while chattering away, and Shen Min was doing her homework on the table as usual .

The entire scene looked very comfortable and harmonious . As for Yuan Zhou, he was preparing for the menu tomorrow . After all, tomorrow was the day he would officially start offering the completed cuisines .

The night passed . Yuan Zhou woke up very early in the morning and nimbly cleaned and dressed up . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting .

Dong! Dong! Dong! This time, the footsteps were not heading towards the back door . Rather, it entered the kitchen in the restaurant .

“Thank you, System,” Yuan Zhou said happily after looking at the wall .

As usual, there was no response from the system .

The wall in the restaurant had indeed changed . In the past, for the sake of having a restaurant flower, the wall would be filled with lotuses . Some of them were budding and some had just bloomed . The lotuses were cupped in the green leaves, and in the middle of the lotuses was the menu of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

As the dishes he had to offer grew, the space became more and more crowded . Now, with this new menu, the entire thing felt spacious again .

The main reason for that was because the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine dishes were removed from the menu, replaced by a single sentence .

[All dishes in the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine are available except the side dishes]

All the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine dishes such as the Translucent Beef Slices, Silk Twined Rabbit, and Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork were gone from the menu . Even the newly released Dual-taste White Oil Tofu was gone .

“Not bad . This shows just how great I am . I am a man that has mastered an entire set of cuisine,” Yuan Zhou muttered smugly while looking at the menu .

Yuan Zhou was extremely satisfied . Therefore, in his good mood, he prepared Soup Dumplings for breakfast again . Naturally, the number of dumplings he prepared were still the same .

For some reason, nobody noticed the change in the menu even after an entire morning .

Then again, the breakfast served here were fixed and the customers couldn’t order anything else during the breakfast . Besides, the customers were too familiar with this restaurant . Even if they had to order, they could recall it from their memories alone and did not need to check the menu .

Of course, lunchtime was the exception .

Before long, lunchtime arrived . The first person to notice the change wasn’t Wu Hai who was the first to arrive . Rather, it was Lee Yanyi who was the second to enter .

“Brat Yuan, you changed the menu?” Lee Yanyi was always direct when speaking .

“Yes,” Yuan Zhou nodded with a calm expression, yet he was inwardly feeling smug .

He had finally reached a point where people could freely order anything from a selected cuisine and he would be able to make it . After all, he was now a person who had mastered an entire cuisine .

“Any dishes of Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine can be freely ordered? That’s quite confident of you,” Lee Yanyi did not bother beating around the bush .

“Of course . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“You must know that the dishes of Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine adhered closely to the traditions . No changes or innovations are allowed for Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine,” Lee Yanyi started reciting the characteristic of the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine .

Before Yuan Zhou could say anything, Lee Yanyi added, “Right, I had nearly forgotten that you’re the Compass . Cooking traditional dishes suit you well . “

“There will still be innovation in the future,” Yuan Zhou disagreed and said with a flat tone .

“You are still young . Of course, innovations will only come in the future,” the moment they spoke about Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills, Lee Yanyi became much milder .

Indeed, Yuan Zhou was still very young . Despite his age, his cooking skills were excellent . There would be no problem for him to be inventing new dishes in the future .

For Yuan Zhou, changing the menu was a trivial affair . But it was something astonishing for the customers . Of course, everyone knew Yuan Zhou well so nobody bothered to ask him anything .

Everyone made up their mind to do some research about the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisines so that could order something nice from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .
