Chapter 113: 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine

However, after saying this sentence, she was immediately astounded by the crowd that instantly squeezed into the restaurant.

Stunned, she found the small restaurant was truly filled to brim with customers after standing at the entrance for a little while.

“Luckily that my words weren’t heard by the boss just now.” With this, Yue Yueli didn’t have the mood to wander about anymore. Therefore, she asked for directions and walked out of the street.

This group of people was the audience of the live broadcast yesterday. They were organized by the wealthy Amisa to come to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for a meal.

With the help of the contest and the ten customers’ enquiries, Yuan Zhou eventually completed the third stage of the mission and, afterward, received the reward of 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine.

“What kind of rice is provided this time?” Yuan Zhou was in urgent need for top-notch ingredient rewarded by the system in order to comfort his wounded heart which was caused when he had just obtained the Taste-Free Chopsticks.

The system displayed, “The rice provided this time is Yang Xi Zao breed of the Jing Shan Qiao Rice. The harvest was likewise the least among all local breeds.”

“As a specialty of Jiangshan County in the Land of Jingchu, Jing Shan Qiao Rice got the name from its place of origin in Sunqiao Town of Jingshan County. The rice particles are long and slender, shiny and clean, tasty and non-sticky, and fragrant and delicious. Therefore, it was designated by the royal house to be used to pay tribute from as early as in Ming dynasty.

“Of the Jing Shan Qiao Rice, the Yang Xi Zao breed was characterized by its dryness, completeness, maturity and whiteness. The green stem of the rice was jade in color and its white belly was extremely small. Besides, the long and slender, shiny and clean quality makes the rice a treasure that was seldom encountered. The steamed rice cooked by the grains is loose and soft, tangy and fragrant, delicious and non-sticky. Furthermore, it had an abundance of nutrients and was best fit for making the diversified rice foods.”

“As expected, it’s again the rice for the royal house.” Yuan Zhou felt himself to be quite a calm person. If not for his excited actions in turning the kitchen upside down to look for the rice, it would have been more convincing.

Written at the upper part of a cabinet next to the one for the wheat grains for Egg Fried Rice were several words, 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, which was considered to be the rewarded rice this time.

As for the 100 cooking ways of rice, Yuan Zhou had already tacitly understood each of them, thinking that he would eat one particular type each day later. For some of the cooking ways, Yuan Zhou had never even heard of them, which in turn widened his experience.

The several words of “100 Styles of Rice Cuisine” were also added in the menu on the wall.

100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, 98 RMB per serving

At 5:00 in the afternoon, Yuan Zhou started to do business. It seemed that he forgot one thing, that is, it was Saturday today and the two people who basically came regularly every Saturday came again today.

“Mu Mu, listen to me. Last time, Boss Yuan won the cooking contest. It was said to be quite spectacular. When we go back home, I will look for the video for you to watch. Just don’t be angry, ok?” The duck-like quacking voice of Wu Zhou could be clearly heard even from a distance.

At least, Yuan Zhou had always felt the voice of Wu Zhou could be compared to the quacking voice of ducks when he intentionally lowered his voice and pretended to be charming.

“Then are you going to be good to me from now on?” while pinching the soft flesh on Wu Zhou’s waist, Zhuang Xinmu threatened.

“Yes, absolutely,” pretending to be in severe pain, Wu Zhou agreed ceaselessly with a pathetic expression.

The two people approached Yuan Zhou’s restaurant while shouting and laughing. Yuan Zhou nevertheless asked seriously, “What do you want to eat?”

“Boss Yuan is still as serious as before. It’s not good for you. You should be happy and smile more frequently.”With his girlfriend beside him, Wu Zhou appeared to be showing off a lot and even began to make jokes about Yuan Zhou.

“No need,” having decisively refused him, Yuan Zhou’s tone became more solemn.

“Ok. Hurry up and sit down; otherwise, the number of customers will increase in a while,” standing at the side, Zhuang Xinmu pulled the edge of Wu Zhou’s clothes.

“Alright. Mu Mu, check the menu and tell me which one you want to eat.” With a complaisant smile on his face, Wu Zhou immediately turned his head and waited for Zhuang Xinmu to choose her favorite dishes

As a ranking member of FFF league, Yuan Zhou disdainfully glanced at Wu Zhou’s doggy manner towards his girlfriend and continued maintaining his usual seriousness.

“Gee, 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine? Is this a new dish? What does it mean?” Zhuang Xinmu was quite familiar with Yuan Zhou’s menu, thus immediately found the new dish.

“It might mean a name for cooked rice?” Wu Zhou asked tentatively.

His girlfriend didn’t trust his speculation and thus prepared to ask Yuan Zhou directly.
