Chapter 175 (2/2)

“It’s great that we can eat it soon.” For Dong Zi, he only cared about eating in a while.

Judging from his appearance, he almost couldn’t wait to give the alluring rabbit meat an immediate bite.

A writer drew the liquor today for the second time. He had never eaten anything in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Every time, he would just come for the lottery drawing during the daytime. If he can draw the liquor, he would come to drink; if not, he wouldn’t come for a meal. Besides, he had never brought any dishes with liquor.

His comment was like this, “Good liquor is to be savored rather than drunk.”

“Boss Yuan, this sergestes wall landscape is indeed a wonderful workmanship that excels the nature. Moreover, the pink color of the shrimps is also graceful.” The writer watched carefully when he passed through the arched door of the wall.

“That’s true. It looks more beautiful during the daytime. We could watch the scenery of the courtyard from inside the restaurant. It’s really two different sceneries on both sides of the wall.” Another man who drew the liquor was Wu Anlu.

He also loved drinking liquor. In order to save money to buy the liquor, he no longer came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for meals frequently. As long as he had enough money, he came to draw the lottery and then drink a cup of liquor.

“While a winding path leads to a secluded retreat, the bamboo forest is deep in the courtyard,” the writer chanted a totally irrelevant poem, but it was fit for Yuan Zhou’s pub more.

Having passed through the courtyard, the several people followed Yuan Zhou up to the second floor. With the bamboos standing upright in great numbers, a bright moon and a lamplight as bright as day overhead made an exquisite scenery.

“Just put it here, put it here” Dong Zi paid no attention to anything else right now. While carrying two plates of the beef, he repeatedly asked Chen Wei to put down the rabbit meat in his hands.

Originally, Dong Zi had intended to carry the rabbit meat. For the sake of security, however, Chen Wei carried the dish by himself and let Dong Zi carry two plates of beef.

“We are gonna eat it right now. Take it easy, man,” Chen Wei steadily put down the rabbit meat and then grumbled.

“Yeah, I am taking it easy now. Anyway, I will take the first bite” At a lighting speed, Dong Zi quickly picked up a piece of reddish brown rabbit meat and threw it into his mouth.

The rabbit meat was fresh, tender and delicious. Besides, the bones are thin and small. After Yuan Zhou’s special treatment, the bones are awfully soft and crisp, which, for Dong Zi, simply equaled to nothing. He swallowed it up with several bites.

“Great,” Dong Zi said loudly.

Bamboo was, nevertheless, more cultured. At least he meticulously savored the meat for a while. The rabbit meat slowly melted in his mouth along with miraculous scent.

The major difference of the Silk Twined Rabbit cooked by Yuan Zhou from others was that he used lemongrass to twine the rabbit.

He peeled off the exterior leaves from the perennial lemongrass and only kept rhizomes. After the rhizome was boiled and heated until it got soft in the clear water, he carefully cut it into three pieces and then heated it in the water again.

At that time, the lemongrass had been quite soft. He then knitted the three pieces into a rope.

After the rope was well knitted and cooled, it was then used to twine the rabbit firmly. The lemongrass inherently carried refreshing lemon fragrance. The cutting and knitting just enabled the fragrance to grow. During the process of pickling, the lemon fragrance slowly infiltrated the rabbit meat.

That way, the rabbit meat would carry very mild lemon fragrance when people ate it again. This sort of lemon fragrance had, nevertheless, merged into the overall flavor.

“Why is the rabbit meat totally different from those sold outside?” Dong Zi said admiringly while eating.

“Rabbit meat was formerly known as Hundred Taste Meat. I finally understand it now,” Bamboo picked up a piece of rabbit meat first and then said.

“What do you mean?” Dong Zi asked curiously.

“You’ll understand as long as you don’t eat like a pig, only swallowing without chewing,” Bamboo said angrily.

While this fellow was desperately stuffing the rabbit meat into his mouth, he was also talking. From the way he ate, no one knew if he really savored any taste before swallowing up.

The rabbit meat was fine and tender, and was quite easily digested and absorbed. Therefore, it was unnecessary to worry if he would overeat or choke.

Luckily, the Silk Twined Rabbit weighed a lot and was supposed to have half a rabbit’s quantity. Every piece was basically the same in size and was placed neatly. There was no minced meat in the bowl as the meat was all cut completely.

They stopped talking and earnestly enjoyed the steaming hot delicious rabbit meat.

What a wonderful taste!
