Chapter 381: A Taste That Starts From Zero
“As expected, it’s open. I know Boss Yuan won’t break his word.” A customer said excitedly while holding the number ticket in the hand.
“Nothing to feel strange about. The reason why Compass is Compass is that he always keeps his word.” Wu Hai shrugged and then walked into the restaurant as if he was accustomed to the situation.
“Everybody, the first twenty customers can come on in.” Zhou Jia greeted the customers with a smile.
“Terrific. Again, we can eat Boss Yuan’s breakfast.” The two animation-addicted girls said with one accord.
“Hi, long time no see.” As soon as Yin Ya entered the restaurant, she greeted Yuan Zhou.
“Hi, Boss Yuan. Here I am again.” Tang Xi also waved her hand to Yuan Zhou with a cute expression.
“Boss Yuan, you are finally back. Even my wallet can’t wait longer.” A customer at the side couldn’t help joking.
“Um. Morning.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou first greeted and then continued saying, “A new dish, Spring Water Mantou, will be provided today.”
“Wow! …We are so lucky to be able to eat a new dish once you are back,” Yin Ya said smilingly.
“We are truly lucky. Get a serving for me.” The frank and honest Wu Hai said directly while stroking his mustaches.
“Get one for me first.” Once Wu Hai started, other customers instantly reacted. It was breakfast and there were only 100 servings.
“Me, too.” Yin Ya sat down and said to Yuan Zhou.
“Alright. One moment, please.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then took the verdant food steamer off from the steaming pot and put them at the place where Zhou Jia served the dishes one by one.
“Everybody, please pay first according to prices on the menu. The dishes are to be served right away.” Zhou Jia said at the right moment.
“Here is your dish.” Yuan Zhou carried it to Yin Ya straightforwardly as usual.
“Thank you.” Yin Ya revealed a blush on her white-skinned face.
“Tsk-tsk. No wonder even the Mantou is pink today.” Wu Hai said at the side with a vaguely meaningful gaze.
“This color is so beautiful. Boss Yuan is so awesome. It’s surprisingly such a beautiful pink Mantou.” The anime-addicted girl supported her head with her two hands and said admiringly while looking at the cute and plump Mantou in front of her.
“Huh? Pink Mantou?” Yin Ya uncovered the food steamer curiously.
Inside of the food steamer indeed lay six pink little Mantous. Different from the previous Thousand Layer Mantou, the little Mantou was round and looked plump. In contrast with the verdant bamboo food steamer outside, they looked both lovable and beautiful.
The smooth skin of the Mantous seemed to emit a pink light.
“What a strange color! But it’s quite good-looking, like a work of art.” Yin Ya poked it curiously.
When the Mantou was poked inward, however, it soon returned to normal, leaving a small indent on the smooth skin.
“What exactly is the taste of the Mantou that is like a work of art?” Yin Ya became quite curious.
The animation-addicted girl was more curious and had started to gulp down half of a Mantou impatiently. The part where she bit recovered to 80% of its original state in just a little while.
Now people could clearly see the color inside of the Mantou was also cherry pink. The many holes from air bubbles didn’t look terrible at all. Instead, it appeared neat and beautiful and emitted faint fragrance of wheat.
“Slurp Slurp”. As soon as she ate the Mantou, a faint unknown fragrance filled the mouth. After chewing, the sweet and fragrant smell diffused gradually as if it had many different layers. If not for the refreshing chewiness in the mouth, she would have thought she was eating a flower with a faint fragrance.
The Mantou was extremely soft and yet meanwhile chewy. The two different textures plus the intrinsic wheat fragrance of the flour and the sweet taste of the spring water was so delicious that the two girls couldn’t help praising it again and again with words that others couldn’t understand.
