Chapter 179: Delicate Flavor of the Sesame Seed Cakes

Yuan Zhou directly bit down on the cake followed by a “Ka Cha” sound.

Instantly, his mouth was filled with fragrance. Theoretically, the duck oil and the cake would surely melt together when it was hot. This one, however, didn’t give people any of that feeling.

With a bite on the cake, the inside was soft and the stuffing was crisp; the cake was bitten neatly; its residues neither fell nor stuck to the teeth; it left a delicate flavor lingering in his mouth, which made Yuan Zhou not able to stop. Therefore, Yuan Zhou began to eat the cakes one after another.

The sesame seeds were stuck all over the cake with the help of the melted sugar. The stuffing inside was savory with chopped spring onion. The faint sweetness and the savory taste had a distinct texture but, nevertheless, merged together marvelously, enabling a light fragrance to spread out.

In his mouth were the stickiness of the duck oil and the softness of the cake. When he was biting, the crisp cake skin emitted a sound of “Ca Ca”. The two different texture and the distinctly layered tastes made the Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake seem especially exotic.

Without even taking a sip of water, Yuan Zhou immediately ate up three pieces of the sesame seed cakes.

At that time, there were many people lining up outside Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Of course, they were all attracted by the scent of the Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake filling the air, thus came.

At both sides of the long line, a circle of hawkers surrounded the customers in harmony.

“Iced Soybean Milk…. Steamed Bread, Steamed Stuffed Buns…”

“Soybean Milk and Deep-Fried Dough Sticks….”

“Steamed Sponge Cake, fragrant and sweet…. Millet Congee…”

“Drinks, various drinks…”

The shout rose repeatedly one after another. And all the hawkers had a common characteristic, that was, everyone had drinks on their menu and the drinks made up the dominant percentage.

As the watermelon juice was the only drink in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and, moreover, was not provided in the morning, these hawkers, who had sharp discernment, started to sell various drinks around Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“I think everyday about what exactly Boss Yuan is eating privately in his store,” a customer who was at the end of the line said anxiously.

“I’m also curious. This Boss Yuan cooks appetizing dishes every day in his closed restaurant. This makes me unable to have a good sleep,” standing in front, Wu Hai scratched his head and chimed in with great discontent.

“You could close the window and then sleep,” having waited impatiently there, Man Man pointed to the opened window of Wu Hai’s room and said bluntly.

“It feels stuffy that way,” Wu Hai answered concisely.

“You can open the windows at the other side of your room. Besides, the scenery there is more beautiful,” Man Man said. She seemed to know the region well.

The opened window of Wu Hai’s room was exactly facing the second floor of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. From that position, he could easily see Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, not to mention the fragrance of the dishes.

Speaking of which, the residents living around had basically all put on weight, due to hunger.

“Xiaoyun, how long before your boss opens the door?” at that time, a customer asked anxiously.

“It should be any minute,” Mu Xiaoyun raised her hand and looked at the cartoon watch before saying with conviction. After all, Boss Yuan had always been punctual.

Just as Mu Xiaoyun finished speaking, the tightly shut door emitted “Hua La” sound as expected.

Yuan Zhou had already got used to the long line and hence, naturally, went back to the countertop, preparing to sell his sesame seed cakes.

“Boss Yuan, you made delicious food again, right?” As soon as the customer entered the restaurant, he couldn’t wait to ask.

“Yeah, yeah. Did you developed a new dish?” This customer regarded himself as a well-informed man concerning new dishes. Every time Yuan Zhou developed new dishes, he would surely come.

“Why don’t you guys check the menu directly?” With an impatient attitude, Wu Hai got seated and immediately looked towards the menu.

“Duck Oil Sesame Seed Cake: 98 RMB/piece. So this is the new dish, right?” Wu Hai opened the mouth and asked.

“Yes, everyone can only buy one cake,” Yuan Zhou specifically instructed them. After all, he had eaten another one again before he opened the door. Now there were only 96 cakes left in total.

“Is it savory or sweet?” The well-informed man of new dishes cared more about this problem.

“savory,” Yuan Zhou always answered whenever he was asked.
