Chapter 34 The Black Beast Wilts
In the evening when the temperature is a bit low, no one can resist the smell of sweet and glutinous sweet potatoes. As soon as the time comes, guests come in in twos and threes.
The first ones are definitely Wu Hai and Mao Xiong, who are never absent, followed by all familiar faces. Wang Hong, Fang Heng, and Li Yanyi are all old diners.
There was no need for Yuan Zhou to greet him and he automatically found a seat to sit down. In just a few seconds, from walking in to sitting down, he completed a series of actions so neatly that if it hadn't been for a restaurant, he would have thought it was. Are you here to attend an important meeting?
Wang Hong didn't argue with Fang Heng today because he discovered something amazing.
"Wu Beast, what's wrong with you today? You're drooping. Are you feeling unwell? I'll help you eat at the barbecue for a while. We're all old friends, so you don't need to thank me." Wang Hong looked like we all have. Once you're familiar with it, you won't need a polite expression.
Indeed, as Wang Hong said, Wu Hai looked different from how he usually ate, had barbecues and drank wine. His usually glowing eyes were a little dim. Although he didn't look like he was asleep, he was indeed very different from his usual lively self.
As soon as Wang Hong said these words, not only Wu Hai ignored him, but Fang Heng, who had always seemed to be his best friend, took two steps to the side. He wanted to distance himself from the relationship, and his expression on his face was that he didn't recognize him. Don't be too obvious.
Monk Wang Hongzhang was confused. He felt that he had lost his memory for a minute and then did something that would make people and gods angry. Otherwise, why would even Li Yanyi look at him like an idiot.
Just when Wang Hong was confused, Wei Wei, who had followed her father, couldn't help but speak.
"Uncle Wang, look at the pot at Chef Yuan's place," Wei Wei said.
She came here with Zuo Zuo and her father today. It may be that her relationship with her father has eased, or it may be that she is still active because her good friends are present.
Wang Hong looked over after hearing this. The shiny chestnuts were tumbling in the pot. As Yuan Zhou stir-fried them from time to time, the black coarse sand and the beautiful chestnuts rubbed against each other, exuding a sweet and glutinous smell. It smelled really good.
"It smells so good, roasted chestnuts with sugar. It turns out that Boss Yuan prepared roasted chestnuts with sugar today." Wang Hong was so excited by the sweet taste that he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Then it took a while to realize: "Ah, my grilled chicken wings!"
I scanned the scene again without giving up. Except for two rather small stoves, there was nothing else. It was impossible for the chicken wings to be roasted in the oven, so the fact was that there were no chicken wings to be roasted tonight.
The hair on his head, which was originally a little upturned, instantly drooped down, which was even worse than Wu Hai's appearance.
"Barbecue without grilled chicken wings is soulless, Boss Yuan, even if there are roasted chestnuts with sugar, you can still have grilled chicken wings." Wang Hong suggested sincerely.
"Tonight there are only two varieties: sugar-fried chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes. One serving per person. If you don't want to eat, you can ask for it." Yuan Zhou said.
He thinks it's normal for some people not to like roasted sweet potatoes or roasted chestnuts. Not everyone likes even rice. What's more, eating too much can easily lead to exhaust, which has obvious disadvantages.
But even Wu Hai, who was listless, didn't say a word, joking that he had to finish all the vegetarian food cooked by Yuan Zhou.
Now, without the need for anyone around him to say anything, Wang Hong already knew the reason why Wu Hai was so wilted. It turned out to be the lack of meat to eat. As a carnivore, Wu Beast still resented the lack of meat.
"Compass, in fact, that bucket can roast a chicken no problem, I can provide it." Wu Hai said unwillingly.
"No." Yuan Zhou refused.
After being rejected, Wu Hai stopped talking. Yuan Zhou was right to the point. If he said no, then it was no. A mature beast has learned not to be entangled.
Yuanzhou soon divided the chestnuts and sweet potatoes into portions for each person, including two palm-sized sweet potatoes and a plate of steaming sugar-fried chestnuts.
The surface is dark brown and shiny, and its appearance alone has conquered many people.
Even Wu Hai cheered up and looked at the steaming chestnuts, and couldn't help but stretch out his paws to catch them.
"Brother Hai, let it cool down before eating." Mao Xiong suggested.
The chestnuts just taken out of the pot are naturally very hot, but some of the golden kernels are exposed from the opened opening, and the sweet smell continues to enter the nostrils. It really takes a lot of willpower to tell myself to stop. Just wait.
"Hiss, it feels dry and not sticky, which proves that the proportion of sugar is just right. This is the first time I have seen such beautiful sugar-roasted chestnuts." Li Yan quickly took one in his hand with his thick skin.
However, even if the skin is thick, it will still be hot when it needs to be blanched, so I couldn't help but switch from left hand to right hand, and then from right hand to left hand after a while, flipping back and forth, just to cool it down early and eat it.
"It's really good, but I think it should taste delicious."
Zhou Zhangju took out a snow-white handkerchief from nowhere and put the chestnuts directly on it. He held the handkerchief across the handkerchief without fear of being burned. There was a crisp 'click' sound when he squeezed the handkerchief with his hands, and the golden chestnut kernels came out perfectly.
Put it in your mouth, bite it gently with your teeth, and the pink and glutinous chestnut kernels will fall apart. The surface is a bit hard due to direct contact with the coarse sand, but the inside is soft and waxy, sweet and delicious, and the chestnut itself is It has a slightly sweet taste, plus the seasoning of sugar, which makes it even sweeter and glutinous. It doesn't feel very dry. On the contrary, it is a little moist, which is completely different from what I usually eat.
Seeing that Zhou Zhangju had already started, Li Yan was not convinced. He didn't care about how hot it was. He just pinched the chestnut shell with two fingers and the chestnut shell broke apart easily. He put it in his mouth and was immediately conquered by the taste. He didn't care about Zhou Zhangju. Fighting or something.
The older Li Yanyi and the others began to eat. Naturally, the younger ones were not to be outdone, and began to peel chestnuts and eat them.
Even Wang Hong, who was talking about grilled chicken wings just now, started peeling chestnuts one by one without caring about anything else.
Wu Hai was even more different. After waiting for two seconds under Mao Xiong's advice, he found that it was not cold, so he reached out and grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, licking the sweet taste outside. Shell, the teeth worked hard, and the two perfect shell halves were spit out, and then the sweet chestnut kernels began to be chewed in the mouth.
Therefore, it can be said that Wu Hai was the first and fastest person to eat. Even the furry bear was a step behind. Because there were fewer steps, she had to peel it with her hands, but Wu Hai peeled it with his teeth.
"Click, click, click"
For a moment, no one spoke at the scene. There was only the sound of peeling and chewing chestnuts, and the sound of Yuan Zhou stir-frying chestnuts.
"Wu Beast's chestnut-peeling skills are definitely championship-level." Although Yuan Zhou was frying chestnuts, he still took in everyone's performance.
Obviously, he was both surprised and unsurprised by Wu Hai's performance. After all, it was only natural that Wu Hai could do anything besides painting and eating.
