Chapter 1499: Crispy meat and vermicelli soup

Yuan Zhou only nodded his head and didn’t say anything more to Gabriel’s thanks.

Tonight, Yuan Zhou didn’t fit his usual image of a man of few words at all. He would even chat with his friends at the table in between cooking.

Although he didn’t speak much, he would say a few words from time to time. The atmosphere of the entire restaurant was particularly warm.

“Can we eat in the restaurant today?” Just then, an old voice came from the door.

Yuan Zhou raised his head and saw two old people, a man and a woman, standing outside the door. The man was wearing a black down jacket and looked quite spirited with a red face.

As for the female old man, she was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket and had a slim figure. One could tell that she was also wearing makeup. Not only did she look very neat and clean, but she was also very beautiful. She looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly along with her old man.

“Of course you can, but you can’t order anything today.” Yuan Zhou said.

“It’s fine, we’re not picky. But what are we eating today?” The old man asked.

“Crispy meat vermicelli soup.” Yuan Zhou said.

“This is good. It’s hot and soft, so you can eat it.” The old woman who seemed to be very particular said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, yes. Then we’ll have to bother you.” The old man said to Yuan Zhou with a smile.

“I won ‘t,” After saying that, Yuan Zhou continued to cook the soup.

As for the old man, he turned his head and carefully led the old lady over the threshold. Then, he brought his men over and sat at a table for four.

......

“I wonder how much a bowl of this crispy meat vermicelli soup costs?” The old lady asked after the two of them sat down.

“Today’s free. Boss Yuan will treat you on Chinese New Year’s Eve. ” Jiang Changxi looked at the two old men and said with a smile.

“Yes, it’s my treat,” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to give Jiang Changxi face. He directly nodded and answered.

“I’m so embarrassed. ” The old lady said.

“Yeah, I’m already bothering you on New Year’s Eve. I’m so embarrassed to not charge you.” The old man said.

“We don’t charge you on the 30th of every year.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Oh, I see? You’re the kind-hearted one, little boss. ” The old lady said.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou didn’t refute this time. He just nodded his head lightly.”I’m yuan Zhou, a good person!”

“By the way, little boss, just give us a bowl. We’re old and can’t eat too much.” The granny said immediately when she saw Yuan Zhou scooping the soup.

“But I need two pairs of chopsticks and a spoon.” The old man said with a smile.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

After that, Yuan Zhou started to scoop the soup. Since he said it was the crispy meat vermicelli soup, then it was the crispy meat vermicelli soup. Moreover, each of them had a bowl.

The crisp meat and vermicelli soup was served in a big bowl of 1.5 grams. The Golden soft and glutinous crispy pork floated on top of the pale white soup. The vermicelli sank to the bottom of the bowl, crystal clear. At first glance, it was good quality sweet potato vermicelli. If you looked closely, you could even see the Starlight-like spots in the vermicelli.

Those were originally small bubbles in the vermicelli, but they became like this after being cooked. Such vermicelli would be particularly delicious.

The Golden crispy meat, the light white soup, and the green onions floating on it, were all steaming white when they were served, and the fragrance followed.

“I think one bowl is too little.” When Wu Hai served the dish, he couldn’t help saying.

“It’s based on everyone’s appetites. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“I think what this gentleman said makes sense. It really doesn’t carry much weight.” Gabriel sniffed the fragrance and spoke in broken Chinese.

Yuan Zhou looked at the foreigner who had been secretly called Garuru beast by others recently. He glanced at his figure without a trace and then said,””You have to eat less for dinner.”

“Yes, you have to eat less for dinner to be healthy.” The old man who came to serve the soup also nodded and said.

“It’s fine. I can digest what I’m drawing tonight.” Wu Hai said solemnly.

“There’s no such saying in France.” Said Gabriel.

“We have some here.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou continued to put the soup bowl on the table.

“Young people have good digestion, but such a big bowl is enough.” The old man persuaded.

Obviously, it was the first time for the old man and the old woman to come here and they knew nothing about the appetites of Wu Hai and Gabriel.

“If you’ve already taken it, then quickly move away.” Jiang Changxi grabbed Wu Hai’s collar and pulled him to the side steadily. Then, she went up to serve the soup.

Gabriel didn’t want to be dragged away, so he stood to the side. However, he didn’t sit down immediately. Instead, he stood by the side with his bowl.

Gabriel took a sip of the hot soup.

A fresh and slightly salty smell of fried meat and chopped green onions rushed straight into his throat, making him feel a little unable to stop.

However, it was not the first time Gabriel had eaten Yuan Zhou’s dishes. He still had some resistance to Yuan Zhou’s cooking. He only stopped after drinking three mouthfuls of the wine in a row,””I heard that these few days are an important holiday for China. Everyone will be resting. Why isn’t head chef Yuan resting?”

Gabriel’s words were full of twists and turns, but he still finished them smoothly.

“You should know that in France, we should rest during festivals.” Gabriel continued.

Indeed, that was the truth. In the Western people’s view, they should rest on their fixed rest days. However, Yuan Zhou was obviously not like that.

With his skills, he was able to open such a busy little restaurant. He cooked three meals a day without even an assistant chef. He prepared, washed, cut, and cooked the dishes all by himself. It could be said that he did not rest for 365 days a year. This naturally surprised Gabriel.

“The more you grind a knife, the faster it will be.” Yuan Zhou said.

Gabriel didn’t understand what Zheng Jiawei was saying. He only understood it after Zheng Jiawei took the initiative to translate it for him.

After understanding what he said, Gabriel gave Yuan Zhou a thumbs up and said,””Amazing.”

Just when Gabriel was curious about Yuan Zhou’s working and rest time, the old couple, who came here for the first time, had already started to eat.

Not only did Yuan Zhou give them two sets of tableware, he also gave them a small bowl for them to take out and eat.

The old man scooped a bowl for the old lady and placed it in front of her. Then, he said,””Come and eat some, I smell it very fragrant.”

“Yes, it does smell good.” The grandma took the chopsticks and spoon and said directly.

“Exactly. It looks soft and should be able to be chewed. Try this meat.” The old man pointed at the Golden crispy meat with a soft skin.

“Alright, you eat too. It won’t taste good if it’s cold.” The old lady didn’t say anything after hearing that. She just scooped up a mouthful of the right-sized crispy meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

The two old men were indeed very old. Although they looked like they had a mouth full of teeth when they smiled, they were actually fake teeth, and their taste buds had naturally deteriorated a lot.

Therefore, as soon as the crispy meat entered her mouth, the old lady first felt that it was soft and mushy, and then a long-lost taste of meat and extremely light saltiness spread in her mouth.

“Ba Ji Ba Ji.” The old lady began to chew.

Normally, the meat was fried, so even if it was cooked, it wouldn’t be that soft. However, it actually tasted soft and tender. It couldn’t be compared to tofu, but it really didn’t take much effort to chew. Furthermore, one could clearly taste the taste of the meat.

“This meat is delicious. It has a meaty taste.” The old grandma said.
