Chapter 1407 Boiling Water for Eggs
The waiting process passed as Deng Xueli actively processed the documents. In fact, if it weren't for the frequent reminders of stomach pain, Deng Xueli would have forgotten that she hadn't eaten yet.
After another bout of stomach cramps, it was finally the turn of the last batch to dine in the restaurant.
"Invite a few of you into the restaurant for dinner." Zhou Jia went out and said in person.
At this time, Deng Xueli, who already had a stomachache, also put away her handheld computer. After hearing this, she straightened her back and walked in.
The restaurant that had just been vacant was once again filled with diners.
"There are menus behind everyone and on the table. You can only order what's on the menu. If you're not sure if it's available, you can ask me." It was Cheng Ying who spoke.
After being here in Yuanzhou for so long, she was almost familiar with the dishes on Yuanzhou's menu.
The other diners began to look at the menu, and Zhou Jia, who came in later, also started to order.
Deng Xueli looked at the menu of Guizhou cuisine. After checking it carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's well-deserved, even such ordinary Guizhou cuisine is available. Sure enough, boss Yuan can cook a whole range of Guizhou cuisine, no matter it's a big dish." It’s still a side dish.”
Yes, Xueli Deng found what she wanted to eat on the menu.
"Order food." Deng Xueli said.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The one who answered was Cheng Ying, who walked over quickly.
"I want this, along with steamed bacon and a bowl of rice to make white rice." Deng Xueli pointed to the two dishes on the menu and said.
"Okay, please pay the bill first and then eat." Cheng Ying responded and then said.
"I know the rules and have already paid." Deng Xueli nodded and took out her mobile phone. The price of the dish she just ordered was displayed on it.
And this price still includes a welcome package.
Obviously, even though it was her first time to eat in the store, Deng Xueli still knew the rules, or in other words, she carefully read the rules on the wall after entering the store.
"Okay, please wait." Cheng Ying confirmed the number, smiled, and then left.
Deng Xueli nodded, and then subconsciously wanted to take out the tablet computer, but looking at the welcome package that had just been delivered, she stopped her movements, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.
The hungry and empty stomach was slightly soothed, and the strong sense of existence no longer continued.
"Master, new list." Cheng Ying walked to the partition on the other side and greeted loudly.
"Just tell me." Yuan Zhou put down the dishes and said.
Yuan Zhou didn't even look back when he was talking and went straight back to the kitchen to continue cooking. Even the last group of diners couldn't be careless.
"Okay, Master." Cheng Ying nodded and then reported the name of the dish.
Yuan Zhou nodded invisibly, and then continued his movements.
Although Yuan Zhou knows the salty and sweet tastes of every diner who comes into the store, he only knows that after seeing them.
After hearing the menu, Yuanzhou turned his head and glanced at Deng Xueli who was sitting there, and then turned back to cooking.
No matter how difficult or complicated the dish was, it would not be a problem in Yuan Zhou's hands, let alone the two home-cooked side dishes ordered by Deng Xueli. Within six or seven minutes, Cheng Ying came over again with a tray.
On top is a steamed bacon, a bowl of white rice, and an enamel white cup, just three simple things. This is what Deng Xueli ordered.
"Please take your time with your meals." Cheng Ying served the meals one by one and said.
"Thank you." Deng Xueli nodded her thanks, and then turned her eyes to the dishes that had just been served.
The first thing Deng Xueli looked at was the white enamel cup, which contained a bowl of soup that looked like egg soup.
"The cup is really interesting." Deng Xueli rubbed the handle of the cup and couldn't help but whisper.
After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, Deng Xueli picked up the cup and took a sip directly.
There is more than half a cup of egg soup in the enamel white cup. The mouth of the cup is not small. When you pick it up like this, the first thing that hits your nose is the smell of eggs, with a little bit of heat.
The cup tilted slightly, and the soup slid into the mouth. It was smooth with the unique fragrance of eggs and the consistency of eggs, and went directly down the throat and into the stomach.
The warm egg soup immediately relieved the aching stomach.
"It tastes like..." Deng Xueli couldn't help but make a sound after swallowing the egg soup in her mouth.
Deng Xueli did not continue drinking, but put down the cup and looked at the "egg soup" carefully.
In fact, this is not egg soup, but sugar and boiling water for eggs. The boiling water directly rinses the raw eggs, turning the raw eggs into half-cooked egg drops.
This was a rather special way of eating in Guizhou Province in the past. Now boiling water to boil eggs is rare and common.
To be clear, eggs are not expensive and can be eaten casually. Eggs boiled with boiling water are not considered a dish. However, Deng Xueli still likes to order this soup in restaurants that specialize in Guizhou cuisine, and she requires it to be boiled. Raw eggs.
Every time she tasted it, it didn't taste the same as she remembered, but now this bowl made her feel like it tasted like her childhood.
As a senior manager of a chain of beauty salons, Deng Xueli could tell a lot about the functions of eggs.
She even knew that boiling eggs with boiled water had the effects of clearing heat, relieving coughs, replenishing protein, and protecting eyesight. However, she did not eat it for health care, but for an inexplicable obsession.
"Gudong." Deng Xueli took another sip of egg soup, not even paying attention to the appetizing food beside her.
And the more Deng Xueli drank, the slower she drank. That is to say, the temperature in Yuanzhou's shop was like spring all year round, and even the dishes served on the table would not get cold quickly, otherwise the food would have been cold long ago.
Just when Deng Xueli had only one sip left of the egg soup, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Boss Yuan, why is your egg soup so authentic?"
Yes, in Deng Xueli’s opinion, this is the equivalent of boiling eggs in Guizhou cuisine.
Deng Xueli is not beautiful, she looks very ordinary, but her eyes are bright and she is very confident, so what she says is difficult for people to ignore.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Zhou Jia and Cheng Ying looked at her subconsciously.
Only Yuanzhou finished frying the food in his hand in a leisurely manner, and then carried it to the partition according to his own steps for the diners to take away.
At this time, Deng Xueli, who had just finished asking and already knew that she was abrupt, also woke up and said quickly: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Yuan Zhou said calmly.
"You mean boiling water to make eggs?" Yuan Zhou said.
"Why do you make it so authentic? This is the taste of my childhood. No other store can make it." Deng Xueli said.
"It's simple, because the food you ate when you were a kid had a fishy smell. Other stores use eggs that have been stripped of the fishy smell and can be eaten raw. The fishy smell is actually not a good taste, but without this fishy smell, it is not the delicious food you want." Yuanzhou Road.
"Aren't you using eggs that can be eaten raw?" Although Deng Xueli didn't care, she still asked curiously.
"No, I use the same one, but I retain the taste of the egg itself, which is the fishy egg smell you eat." Yuan Zhou said.
"Is that so?" Deng Xueli murmured, and then asked: "Boss Yuan, didn't you say that the fishy smell is not a good taste? Why did you deliberately keep it?"
Deng Xueli's question also aroused the curiosity of the people nearby. They were not stupid. Thinking about it, they knew that this kind of special eggs required nurturing and effort.
Spending time cultivating bad things is not like Yuan Zhou's style.
"Each place has its own taste, with advantages and disadvantages, but this is what is called local delicacy, and it is delicacy that can satisfy diners," Yuan Zhou replied.
Seeing Deng Xueli's look of nostalgia and realization, Yuan Zhou suddenly had an idea and thought of something.
