Chapter 276: Rose Dew Rice

“Well, I indeed know something about it,” the man in the shirt took a look at Sister Wan and then said complacently.

“Tell us quickly about that.” Ya Ya stared at him with her big eyes.

“Do you know anything particular about rice?” When he found Sister Wan was also a bit curious, the man said, trying to show off his knowledge.

“I know it. Rice possesses the neutral Qi of the heaven and earth and is the foundation of health preservation.” Spoke Ya Ya like a book.

“This little girl really knows much.” The man grounded his teeth. But when he saw Sister Wan still listening to him carefully, he continued saying.

“But it’s not the main point. Of course, what you talked about can also count as one.” The man first affirmed Ya Ya.

“I’m talking about the washing of the rice. Look, Boss Yuan’s actions are fairly standard,” he said affirmatively while pointing at Yuan Zhou.

“Don’t people say all the nutrition is on the surface of the rice and that the rice shouldn’t be washed harshly?” Sister Wan said hesitantly.

“It’s not like that. While washing the rice, you should spare no efforts to rub it carefully with hands, like what Boss Yuan is doing now. Only when the water that has been sprinkled on the rice in the bamboo basket gets very clear is the rice considered ready.” With the man’s look of affirmation and Yuan Zhou being as the standard, the two ladies believed it soon.

It was of course because Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship enjoyed great popularity among the people.

“Is that the flower dew?” Sister Wan suddenly pointed to a crystal vase that was taken out by Yuan Zhou and asked.

“It appears to be so. The rose has a faint pink color.” The man in the shirt revealed an expression of affirmation.

Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou was cooking in the kitchen earnestly. Of course, he would play cool conveniently while the man in the shirt was explaining.

It was all destiny arranged by the God to let him, an originally low-profile person, to be the center of attention.

Yuan Zhou thought that quietly in his mind.

Actually, Yuan Zhou didn’t cook especially in accordance with the man’s explanation. After all, the Rose Dew Rice was only delicious by cooking this way.

Just in a little while, the rice was steamed.

“Look, Boss Yuan is going to pour the flower dew,” the man in the shirt pointed at Yuan Zhou and said excitedly.

“Great. It’s definitely super fragrant.” Girls had a congenital preference for such elegant food.

“Yes. My grandma said the fragrance would linger in the mouth after eating,” the man said loudly.

“Since it is fragrant dew, it will certainly be fragrant.” Sister Wan also agreed with a nod.

“Sister Wan, let me treat you to the meal, shall I?” Only then did the man in the shirt bring out his purpose.

“No need. Hi, please also get me one bowl of the Rose Dew Rice.” With a faint smile, Sister Wan declined him and ordered one bowl by herself.

“Sister Wan, I don’t mean anything,” The face of the man flushed slightly, but he still said with a seemingly calm manner.

“Thank you for your kindness. I just felt like ordering one serving, so I won’t bother you.” Sister Wan was quite courteous. She refused him deftly.

“Alright.” The man in the shirt had only to nod the head silently.

“Wait. Get me one bowl of the rice, too.” Ya Ya covered her mouth and snickered. But when she found Sister Wan was looking at her helplessly, she stopped snickering and began to order her dishes.

As a matter of fact, the dish only required little dew, about one small cup. Pour the dew over the rice and stir them together evenly and then simmer them for a while. After that, the dish was ready.

Then, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the bowls and plates for the dish.

The bowls and plates were quite unique this time. The edge of the bowl was like that of lotus leaves, choppy and layered like the genuine lotus leaves.

The outside edge of the bowl was painted with green stalks. Inside it was the translucent rice grains with a hint of faint pink.

As if it were the bashful face of a young girl.

Even the matched spoon was in the shape of a miniature lotus leaf, which was lovable and tiny.

“It’s so cute. Boss Yuan, we also want this kind of bowls, ok?” Ya Ya did well in playing cute.

“All the bowls and plates are the same,” answered Yuan Zhou seriously.

“Terrific. Thank you, Boss Yuan,” Ya Ya said delightedly.
