Chapter 169 (2/2)

“Boss, two servings of the beef, one serving of Jinling Grass and three servings of white rice,” having taken note of the three customers’ order, Mu Xiaoyun turned the head and said to Yuan Zhou, who was busy cooking.

“Humm,” Yuan Zhou nodded, indicating that he had heard her.

The beef had already been well prepared and pickled in the morning. He only needed to cut it into slices and pour some sesame oil over them.

The beef provided by the system was quite normal.

The system displayed, “Optimized Nanyang yellow cow of grass-white color breed was reared with the improved feeding method of Bai Lixi, the renowned prime minister in Qin Dynasty. It was fed with the pennisetum hydridum, green grass, perennial ryegrass and alfalfa in an alternate manner. It also received a professional massage every day to relax and to reduce the acidic materials contained in the beef.

As for the massage mentioned by the system, Yuan Zhou automatically disregarded it, after all every cow had received a massage to relax. Right?

“What the hell is right? It’s again a cow that lives better than me,” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help making complaints.

Only when Yuan Zhou took up the beef did he find every piece of the beef was individually packed and was very beautiful. It was just that the size didn’t appear to be a one-piece shank.

“Is this the middle part of the beef shank?” Taking the beef in his hand, Yuan Zhou said with an affirmative tone.

The system, nevertheless, still had no reaction.

Having been unpacked, the beef proved Yuan Zhou’s speculation right. It was indeed the middle part of the beef shank.

After the several procedures of pickling, cooling, drying, steaming, deep frying and then stir-frying, the dish of Translucent Beef Slices eventually reached the last step, cutting. Every piece of the beef was about a girl’s forefinger thick and was just the right amount for one serving.

“Look, Boss Yuan is going to cut the beef,” the girl took her boyfriend’s arm and said excited.

“Humm, I will try to learn,” right, this was the only purpose of the girl to let her boyfriend watch.

The chopping board used by Yuan Zhou was provided by the system. Since it basically had no taste at all, there was no concern about the beef being contaminated by other flavors.

Having erected the piece of the beef, Yuan Zhou picked up a very sharp knife and started to cut it. Before the lovers could even see the process clearly, a thin slice of the beef had fallen to one side. With a consecutive 11 slices, the beef was cut into a total of 12 slices in the end.

Then he took up a small bottle. Having slightly shaken his wrist, the beef slices were then evenly covered with sesame oil.

“A lamp of beef is ready. Carry it away,” Yuan Zhou’s voice was a little difficult to be clearly heard in the mask. Hearing his instruction, Mu Xiaoyun then went up and carried the dish to the lovers.

“Boss Yuan, what does “a lamp of” mean?” The big eyes of the girl were full of curiosity.

Other customers that were either having a meal or waiting in line likewise looked at Yuan Zhou curiously.

“The beef slice was so thin that it could be made as the lampshade and the light could penetrate it. A plate of the beef slices is just enough to make a lampshade,” Yuan Zhou said concisely.

“That can’t be true. Although the light is said to be able to penetrate the beef slices, it would be too exaggerated to make it into the lampshade.” The girl frowned. She didn’t actually doubt Yuan Zhou. But considering that only paper with great light permeability could be used as a lampshade, and this was obviously beef, she couldn’t quite understand. How could the beef be made into a lampshade?

Yuan Zhou cared little about the customers’ suspicion and just continued to do his own work.

“Why don’t we have a try?” The boyfriend always spoiled his girlfriend to the utmost extent.

“That’s right. You try,” those waiting in line were more curious than those who had meals.

“You have a lighter, don’t you? Let’s have a try?” the girl rolled her eyes and said decisively.

“Pa”, her boyfriend supported his girlfriend with the actions of striking the lighter.

The girl meticulously picked up a beef slice with the chopsticks and moved it to one side of the fire, making it block the light. In just a little while, she saw the clear veins of the beef started to shine with red light gradually. To her surprise, the light had truly passed through the beef slice despite the small flame of a lighter.

Those who waited in line and those that were having meals as well as the lovers who did the experiment, were all astonished. The technique of using the knife like that could be genuinely regarded as godlike.
