Chapter 160: Method of Eating Baked Egg Cakes
He first daubed the tasteless virgin maize oil on the surface of the brass pot and waited until it got hot.
He then poured a spoonful of the flour paste into the brass pot and spun the pot swiftly to make the flour paste cover the pot evenly. At the other side, he also poured the same amount of flour paste into the other brass pot and did the same thing before covering both pots with lids and waited for a moment.
He roughly counted the time and waited until the surface of the flour paste became solid. Then, Yuan Zhou removed the lids and scattered a spoonful of the beef mince into a pot and the blueberry jam into another. Having covered the pots with lids again and waited another 30 seconds for it to bake, Yuan Zhou then used a small pair of tongs to fold the cake and take it out.
The Baked Egg Cakes made in Yuan Zhou’s closed restaurant emitted a strong sweet and fragrant egg flavor. It passed through the cracks of the door, out of the restaurant and hence, attracted the passerby to stop their steps and watch.
“What’s Boss Yuan making? It’s so fragrant,” the customers who had ever been here for meals before said when they smelled the fragrance.
“It’s true. Even my belly is grumbling,” another person covered his belly and said in a convincing manner.
“It’s not likely to be any of the previous food, judged by the smell. Is it a new kind of dish?” the customer revealed an expectant look.
“Dammit. He doesn’t open the restaurant in the early morning, but makes delicious food for himself.” With the sound “Da Da Da” from his footsteps, Wu Hai quickly went downstairs.
“It’s still early. Look, even Xiaoyun hasn’t been here yet,” this customer apparently had abundant experience in lining up.
“Exactly. I’m almost drooling.” A customer couldn’t help gulping back his saliva.
“It’s really so fragrant. Is this the scent of eggs?” someone carefully inhaled the fragrance and then said.
“Humm, there is supposedly also flour. With such fragrant and sweet flavor, it is definitely the new wheat,” currently, the regular customer of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant seemed to have much knowledge about food.
“I’m going to knock the door. Who wants to go with me?” Wu Hai indignantly walked to the door and said.
“What’s wrong with you, Uncle Wu Hai?” At that time, Mu Xiaoyun, who had just arrived, asked him with her eyes widely open.
“Er… nothing,” instantly Wu Hai’s spirit wilted. In front of the little loli, he was rather restrained.
Then, the customers outside began to wait for Yuan Zhou to open the door.
At that time, Yuan Zhou was enjoying the rewards that he had offered to himself.
The Baked Egg Cake with spicy beef mince and the other with blueberry jam were placed at both sides of Yuan Zhou.
With his sharp olfactory senses, Yuan Zhou was already attracted by the fragrance of the food, hence directly picked up a Baked Egg Cake with beef mince and immediately gave it a bite.
“Ba Ji, BaJi”, while the cake was being carefully chewed in the mouth, he first savored the fragrant and sweet flavor of the cake and then the spicy texture of the beef mince. As the flour paste of the cake had no yeast inside this time and thus had a tougher texture, which brought out the best of the beef jerky in the beef mince.
The spiciness stood out, as if it had dorminated in the sweetness in the Baked Egg Cake, forming a fantastic taste together.
The Baked Egg Cakes made by Yuan Zhou were larger by a circle than those sold outside. However, one could still eat up the cake with three bites.
“Perfect match,” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself, sighing with emotion.
As for the other Baked Egg Cake with blueberry jam, it was naturally devoured soon. Then, with the well-fermented flour paste, Yuan Zhou made another two Baked Egg Cakes. He only went to open the door contentedly after eating them up and drinking a cup of water.
“Morning, boss. It was so fragrant just now,” Mu Xiaoyun walked into the restaurant first. While smelling the remaining faint scent, she asked curiously.
“Yeah, yeah. Have you developed a new dish? Serve me one. Hurry,” Wu Hai walked inside in big strides in the wake of Mu Xiaoyun.
“The new dish is available today and this one is provided only,” taking a glance at Wu Hai, Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him and just said that while pointing at the price list.
“It truly is the new dish. Let me see what it is.” The customers turned their heads and looked towards it one after another.
It was bright in the main hall and the sergestes landscape wall was quite pretty. So was the price list on the wall.
