Chapter 1305 A Little Idea

"If it's him, yes." Colin added.

"I knew you would agree. That guy has been learning Guizhou cuisine recently and has become quite impressive." Zhou Shijie said proudly.

"Our Guizhou cuisine is not that easy to learn." Ke Lin said pointedly.

"What you said is not objective. Which dish is easy to learn?" Zhou Shijie shook his head.

"However, our Guizhou cuisine is particularly difficult to learn. It is a mixture of multi-ethnic cuisines with rich and diverse flavors. It is not an easy task to use a lot of ingredients." Colin shook his head and explained.

"Okay, I won't tell you more. You will know when you meet Xiao Yuan. These are not difficulties for him." Zhou Shijie affirmed.

"Then I'll have to take a good look at your baby bump then." Colin teased.

"No problem, but don't think of anything else when the time comes." Zhou Shijie said pointedly.

"What? Are you afraid that I will steal people from you? Then you still push people towards me." Colin said with disdain.

"I can't help it. I'm afraid that when other people communicate with Xiao Yuan, they are not qualified, and you are the only one who can do it." Zhou Shijie said pretending to be helpless.

"Go away, we still have quite a few masters of Guizhou cuisine." Ke Lin looked indifferent and still had a bad temper.

"You're not the only one here recently." Zhou Shijie continued.

"Hmph, I want to see how powerful Yuan Zhou is." Although Ke Lin said this, he also agreed in his heart that Yuan Zhou was powerful. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Zhou Shijie to directly agree as soon as Yuan Zhou's name was mentioned.

"No problem, the time will be set in three days. I will take people there then." Zhou Shijie followed.

"Okay." Colin nodded.

"Meet you at the riverside yard at three o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Yuan can't come until he finishes opening the shop." Zhou Shijie said.

"I have long heard that that boy is very obsessed with opening a store. It seems to be true." Colin obviously knew about the last time the two provinces jointly provoked Yuan Zhou.

"That's natural. That kid set a lot of rules for himself and followed them one by one. He is a very principled person." Zhou Shijie said seriously.

"It's good to have principles." Colin agreed.

"It's a good thing." Zhou Shijie also agreed: "There are too many people without principles now."

"Let's go as soon as we're done. I want to rest." As he said that, Colin started chasing people away.

"Your temper is still so weird, only your apprentice can bear it." Zhou Shijie scolded with a smile.

"Of course you have to endure being my apprentice." After Colin finished speaking, he slammed the hotel door.

After closing the door, Colin couldn't help but murmured: "The youngest Sichuan cuisine master is still proficient in pastry, and now he has started to learn Guizhou cuisine. Then Yuan Zhou seems to be only twenty-six this year."

Thinking of his twenty-sixth year, Colin couldn't help but fell silent.

Of course, Zhou Shijie didn't know these feelings of Colin, but his expression was happy when he came downstairs. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to go to the study to call Yuan Zhou.

Zhou Shijie, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by Colin's words.

Just listen to Ke Lin say: "I think you have learned almost all the famous dishes in Guizhou cuisine, which is very good."

"Yes, I have been studying for a while and have gained a little." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"I see that you wrote down some opinions on the spicy taste of Guizhou cuisine in your notes. Why don't we discuss it." After saying this, Colin returned the notebook to Yuan Zhou.

"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded, then took back his notebook and sat back in his seat.

"Wait, if you want to discuss it, we have to wait until the tea comes." Zhou Shijie heard a gentle knock on the door, interrupted the two of them, and then raised his voice to invite the people outside the door to come in.

"Wow!" The box door opened, and three girls wearing Republican student uniforms walked in. Each of them carried a tray and walked into the box.

"This is your Zunyi black tea, please take your time to taste it." The three girls placed a brewed teapot and teacups on the long table for them, and then said.

"Thank you." The three of them thanked them softly, and then the girls who poured the tea left the box.

Now the box was quiet again.

"Try some tea first. Are you feeling dry after talking so much? Try the tea here.

"Zhou Shijie first picked up the tea cup and said.

"Okay, let's see how the tea you introduced is like, but the person is very nice." When talking, Colin looked at Yuan Zhou.

Obviously Colin admires Yuan Zhou very much now, especially after reading Yuan Zhou's neat and detailed notebook with his own ideas.

"Of course. I don't dare to say anything else. This vision has always been good." Zhou Shijie said proudly.

"Uncle Zhou is right." Yuan Zhou replied dryly.

"Hahaha, you are just selling melons and boasting." Colin took a sip of tea, his face relaxed a little, and he laughed.

Yuanzhou took a sip and said nothing.

It was Ke Lin who took the initiative and said: "Since Xiao Yuan, you call him Uncle Zhou, then I ask you to call me Uncle Ke too, in case you don't know how to call him."

"Okay, Uncle Ke." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have." Zhou Shijie warned.

"No." Ke Lin looked at Zhou Shijie with contempt, then looked directly at Yuan Zhou and started talking to Yuan Zhou.

"I see you said above that you think the bad peppers today are different from those in ancient times. The old peppers are more in line with the spicy taste of Guizhou cuisine, is that right?" Ke Lin said.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Why do you say that?" Colin asked.

"Guizhou Province is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It has a special geographical climate with many mountains and high mountains. The mountains are rich in hundreds of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, hundreds of natural wild edible plants, and hundreds of wild animals. , because the food culture of your province is rich in exotic animals, and Guizhou cuisine is rich in taste and spicy," Yuan Zhou said.

"Well, that's true. Our Guizhou cuisine has many flavors. It has integrated many cuisines and developed into what it is today." Colin nodded.

"Although your province is mountainous and rich in products, there are two things that have not been produced since ancient times, and that is salt and cotton." Yuan Zhou said.

Hearing this, Colin raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuan Zhou more seriously.

“Let’s not talk about the origin and history of chili peppers. Let’s just say that bad chili peppers need to be made from August to September every year with fresh Dangwu Township red peppers that are thick and not too spicy. The hot peppers made there are spicy and spicy. ." Yuan Zhou said eloquently.

"Yes, it is true." Colin nodded.

Yuanzhou continued: "But your province does not produce salt, and the bad peppers made today will add a lot of salt to the peppers, one for seasoning and the other to prevent corruption. These two points are contrary to the previous bad peppers." How to make chili.”

Colin raised his eyebrows, his face looking forward to the follow-up.

“I checked the history of Guizhou Province, the history of Yunnan Province, and the salt policy history of Sichuan Province, and found that in the past, most of the salt in Guizhou Province came from well salt and rock salt in Sichuan Province, and of course a small amount came from rock salt in Yunnan Province. "Yuan Zhou said.

"In Guizhou, a province with little salt, the Miao people in southeastern Guizhou use sour food instead of salty food. In fact, the spicy food mainly contains the sour and spicy flavors." Yuan Zhou affirmed.

"So you restored the bad pepper?" Colin said?

"Yes, the step is at the end of the notebook, to add slightly acidic water and then use it to prepare fresh chili peppers without adding any salt to balance the sour water and chili peppers." Yuan Zhou nodded.
