Chapter 156 (2/2)

“No,” Yuan Zhou said quite straightforwardly.

“Sigh. How could you treat me like that, Boss Yuan?”Jiang Changxi sat down and stroked her hair.

“Why do you always greet him with the same words? Do you really have a fancy for Boss Yuan?” Wu Hai couldn’t help uttering that at the side.

“It’s you, small mustache. Your hands seem to have become more flexible. You aren’t exercising your five fingers any less recently, huh?” With a glance, Jiang Changxi happened to see Wu Hai wiping the chopsticks and hence mocked him.

“Er….” Wu Hai had to admit defeat again.

After finishing off the small mustache Wu Hai, Jiang Changxi looked towards Yuan Zhou, saying, “I have a dish for the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine that you, Boss Yuan, will definitely be unable to cook.”

She appeared to be quite firm, yet still had a cunning expression.

“Please order your dishes,” Yuan Zhou neither believed in her nor felt curious about her words. After all, she had spoken the same words for at least several times.

“Braised Pork with Soy Sauce,” Jiang Changxi brought out the name of the dish smilingly.

“I’m sorry, this restaurant hasn’t served this dish yet temporarily,” Yuan Zhou was first stupefied and then subconsciously said that.

“It’s not like what you imagined, Boss Yuan. It’s the Braised Pork with Soy Sauce made from rice,” having directly brought out the ingredient, Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou confidently.

Hearing that, Yuan Zhou was truly lost in a daze this time. He knew with tofu, one can cook various vegetarian dishes that appeared to be genuine meat dishes. As for the rice, however, Yuan Zhou could only indicate that he didn’t know and nor had he heard of that.

“Boss Yuan, you can’t cook it this time, right?” Jiang Changxi’s voice revealed indescribable exultation and gloat.

Since she had eaten the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine for the first time, Jiang Changxi had basically come once per day at least. Every time she came, she would order a different rice cuisine. She just wanted to see if Yuan Zhou had really mastered 100 ways of cooking rice.

It had lasted for half a month and this was yet the very first time that Yuan Zhou hesitated. It was all thanks to one of her friends.

“This dish is made from rice. It was a masterpiece from a great chef during Qing Dynasty, who was said to develop this dish when competing with others for the sake of his restaurant’s reputation. Due to its softness, fragrance, and sweetness, it tasted the same as the meat. Therefore, it won the competition.” On the face of Jiang Changxi, a complacent sort of expression could be seen.

“Is there such a dish? I have only heard of the meat-like tofu. Is it true?” Wu Hai asked her a question which Yuan Zhou was also curious about.

After all, no matter based on the texture or the material itself, tofu was more easily prepared than rice and resembled meat more in the taste. The name of ‘meat from the farmland’ didn’t just come out from nowhere.

“If Boss Yuan doesn’t believe it, I can take my friend here to certify that for me. That friend of mine is a descendant of the great chef, as is clearly written in the family tree,” Jiang Changxi spoke unhurriedly with an affirmative expression.

“What a knowledgeable family,” Wu Hai heaved a sigh with emotion.

Just when Yuan Zhou prepared to say that he didn’t know how to cook, the system suddenly came out.

The system displayed, “Yes, I can. Host, you are the would-be Master Chef. Please say yes.”

Yuan Zhou became truly hesitant now. He really didn’t know how to cook it. Besides, the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine provided by the system didn’t cover this dish, either.

The system displayed, “Yes.”

The system displayed, “Host, please say yes.”

The system displayed, “Host, please say yes quickly!”

During the short period when Yuan Zhou was hesitating, the system displayed three consecutive messages and even used an exclamation mark at the end. The excitement of the system was clearly seen out of that.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou could only answer, “Yes, I can.”

“Boss Yuan, do you really know how to make it?” Jiang Changxi didn’t really trust Yuan Zhou’s answer, as even that descendants of the great chef didn’t know how to cook this dish himself. The most important thing was how to guarantee that the tofu made from rice would be perfectly tender and soft and yet wouldn’t be dissolved into pieces when cooked. This was extremely vital.

“Yes, but I have to make some preparations. Please come to eat it on the same time tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou remained serious and didn’t reveal any other emotions.

“Ok. I will come for sure tomorrow. Remember, one serving,” Jiang Changxi decided to come with the friend of hers tomorrow for a taste.

“Take care,” Yuan Zhou then turned around and went back to the kitchen. There was a worried expression on his solemn face. Just from the name, Yuan Zhou judged that the dish was not so easy to make. Moreover, it was not included in the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine provided by the system, hence showing how great the dish was.
