Chapter 610: 610

The fat chef didn’t really understand Li Li’s thoughts, but what he should do now was to manage the kitchen orderly . Therefore, he headed into the kitchen very quickly .

On the other side, Yuan Zhou had started to cook the Salt Baked Chicken . That’s right . What Yuan Zhou was going to cook was the Salt Baked Chicken originating from Dongjiang .

It was unexpected but this dish had nothing to do with the great Su Dongpo .

“System, you surprisingly provide a slaughtered chicken this time . You seldom do so . I thought I would get to see live chickens all over the cabinet . ” Yuan Zhou opened the cabinet and couldn’t help ridiculing .

He had reasons to feel excited about that . When he cooked the Silk Twined Rabbit previously, the rabbits were all alive in order to guarantee the freshness of the rabbit meat . It wasn’t a pleasant experience for Yuan Zhou to see lots of live rabbits when he opened the cabinet .

It was really quite good to provide the slaughtered chickens this time .

The system displayed, “Host, do you want to kill the chickens by yourself?”

“No, not really . It’s fine now . ” Yuan Zhou wiped the nonexistent perspiration on his forehead and said immediately .

The system displayed, “This chicken is called Cenxi Sanhuang Chicken . It originates from Guangxi . Until now, it hasn’t been hybridized with any other chicken breed from other places . Hence, it’s a superior native chicken . “

“The chicken is small and looks gorgeous . As it likes pecking and moving ceaselessly, it’s characterized by its tender meat and thin bones; therefore, the taste is delicious . It’s the best food ingredient to cook the Salt Baked Chicken .

“I see . I read it just now . The chicken eats fruits, right? I got it . ” Yuan Zhou indicated that he had read the breeding process of the chicken and he didn’t want to be hurt again .

“Let’s say something practical . The chickens are all males, so you must have kept the chicken liver, right?” Yuan Zhou processed the chicken and then searched around for it while asking .

The system displayed, “Cocks are used in winter while hens are used in summer . For other things, you can check by yourself . “

“Um, that’s good . According to the ancient text Nei Ze, it does no good to people if one eats chicken but doesn’t keep the liver . ” Yuan Zhou showed off his profound knowledge with an indifferent manner in the face of the system .

After all, Yuan Zhou had read so many books . There weren’t any difficulties for him to cite ancient styled prose .

The cooking method of the Salt Baked Chicken is actually very simple . First, wash the chicken until it’s clean and then remove the water droplets over the surface . After that, scatter the table salt over the chicken and preserve for a while . Finally, wrap the chicken with the lotus leaves, put it in the salt and bake it until it was cooked .

Therefore, it didn’t take Yuan Zhou too long time to cook such a dish . After it was cooked, his lunch was ready too .

During the period, the only difficulty was when Yuan Zhou prepared to put the dish on the table . After he experienced the cooking method of the Roast Goose, however, Yuan Zhou had been accustomed to splitting up the chicken even when it was scalding hot .

“It’s truly so fresh, tender and salty . ” Yuan Zhou ate up an entire chicken naturally .

Even if this chicken only weighed 1 . 75 kg, Yuan Zhou ate up an entire one in a breath, leaving only some bones that he couldn’t chew . He prepared to give them to Broth to eat later .

After Yuan Zhou had lunch, it was almost lunchtime for the restaurant, too . He had barely prepared the ingredients when Zhou Jia entered the restaurant .

“Good noon, Boss . ” Zhou Jia greeted him and then directly took the rag, starting to do the cleaning .

“Um . We have a new dish today, Dongjiang Salt Baked Chicken,” Yuan Zhou said lightly .

“Okay, I see . ” Zhou Jia took out her phone calmly and started to post this information in the group .

Zhou Jia and Shen Min were already used to Yuan Zhou’s surprise attacks, so they had also prepared some emergency plans .

For example, they joined many Wechat gourmet groups so they could notify the customers at the earliest time possible .

Once the information was released, the customers seethed with excitement .

“As far as I know, Boss Yuan will definitely serve a new dish after leaving for so long . See?” somebody said complacently .

“We all know that . But it’s the Dongjiang dish again this time . I find that Boss Yuan likes the great Su Dongpo very much,” somebody else also noticed this matter .

Nevertheless, Yin Ya only noticed that it was her favourite dish .

That’s right . Yin Ya liked eating chickens and moreover, preferred dishes with a lighter taste . And this Salt Baked Chicken just fitted her taste preferences very much .

Yuan Zhou didn’t serve new dishes very frequently in his restaurant . Every time he did so, however, it was a heavy blow to Li Li’s restaurant as many of his customers went to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to watch the bustling scene .

It was still the same this time .

“Huh? I haven’t seen you for a very long time . ” Wu Hai nodded his head and greeted Yin Ya who waited behind him .

“The Spring Festival is coming . We are just too busy,” Yin Ya replied helplessly .

“Then why do you have time to come over here today, Beauty Yin?” Ling Hong came up and made fun of her .

“I know . This person must have come for the new dish,” Man Man said immediately .

“Yeah . I heard from others that the Salt Baked Chicken has been served . I really want to eat it . ” Yin Ya nodded her head at once .

“Really? Isn’t it because you miss somebody here?” Jiang Changxi made eyes at Yin Ya when she said that . She revealed a manner of “I know everything . “

“You are thinking too much . ” Yin Ya rolled her eyes in an ungainly manner .

“Everybody, please come on in for your meals . ” Zhou Jia came out directly and started to greet the customers into the restaurant .

As soon as Yin Ya went into the restaurant, Yuan Zhou walked to her inconspicuously and said with a solemn look, “It has been a while . “

“Yeah . The Spring Festival is coming . I’m busy,” Yin Ya flipped her hair and said naturally .

“I see . What do you want to eat?” Basically, the conversation between Yin Ya and Yuan Zhou had always been like this . It could neither go further nor worse .

“Salt Baked Chicken . I heard this new dish had just been served . I want to have a try,” Yin Ya said straightforwardly .

“Okay . One moment, please . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then he turned around and went to the kitchen .

“Boss Yuan, I am here too . Did you forget to take my order?” Jiang Changxi said with a tricky manner .

“No, I didn’t forget . Zhou Jia, go to take her order,” Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said to Zhou Jia directly .

“Haha . Don’t be shy . ” Jiang Changxi burst into laughter and didn’t really mind .

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou just started to prepare the Salt Baked Chicken, behaving as if he hadn’t heard her .

The Dongjiang Salt Baked Chicken cooked by Yuan Zhou had somewhat improved . He wrapped two pieces of fresh and tender lotus leaves inside of the rough straw paper in order to give it some special flavour .

Looking at the hectic figure of Yuan Zhou, Yin Ya was fairly expectant . After all, she hadn’t been here to eat for a long time .

However, she was slightly dumbfounded when the dish was carried to her .

“It’s just served like that?” Yin Ya pointed at the plate in the front in surprise and asked him .

“Yes . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“Do you want me to hold it with my hands and eat it?” Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou with a speechless manner .

“No, you don’t need to . We have prepared the gloves for you . You must tear the chicken up by yourself before you eat it . ” Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and gestured at the gloves on the table .

There was indeed a pair of gloves there . Moreover, he prepared two pairs of gloves considerately .

“But if you like eating it that way, you can also go ahead . ” Yuan Zhou paused for an instantly and then said that .

Because he guessed that Yin Ya probably didn’t know how to tear the chicken up just by looking at her .

“Ho Ho . ” Yin Ya felt rather speechless in the heart . How exactly could he tell that a young girl like her would like to hold an intact chicken and eat it that way directly?

“Please take your time and enjoy . ” Yuan Zhou didn’t know where the problem was and thus he had to say courteously .

“Thank you,” Yin Ya said that while gnashing his teeth .

“You are welcome . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and returned to the kitchen again .

“It’s really difficult to judge girls’ thoughts . ” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help sighing with emotion in his heart .

Yin Ya had no idea about Yuan Zhou’s sigh . If she knew that, she would probably have put away the chicken and thrown the plate at Yuan Zhou .

The reason why she would put away the chicken first was obviously because she still needed to eat it .

“Actually, the Salt Baked Chicken must be teared up instead of sliced because the ironware will destroy the taste after it’s cooked . Otherwise, the taste won’t be that delicious anymore . ” When Master Cheng found Yin Ya just stared at the intact chicken and not moving, he couldn’t help coming up and explaining to her on behalf of Yuan Zhou .

“Ah?” Yin Ya was still a little puzzled .

“To be frank, we tore up the chicken in the kitchen with our hands last time . Do you want to eat that kind of chicken?” Master Cheng said plainly .

“No . ” Yin Ya said decisively .

“Then, that explains it . ” Seeing Yin Ya understand that now, Master Cheng no longer said anything . He straightforwardly went to watch Yuan Zhou cook .
