Chapter 470 (2/2)

After the payment, they started to wait for the dishes. Ma Zhida was quite delighted right now. Having been absent from here for quite a few days, he missed the dishes here very much. By means of this opportunity, he could seek personal gains to eat here. Nonetheless, he brought them here because he believed that Yuan Zhou could satisfy the requirements of Silika.

When Yuan Zhou received the order sheet and glanced at it. After recalling for a moment the cooking method of the Vegetarian Pilaf, he verified that it was really one of the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine. Then, he started to prepare the dish.

As for the requirements on the order sheet, Yuan Zhou naturally saw them clearly. He specially took out a complete set of new kitchenware and even the sieve for placing the rice in was new.

Most Emiratis are Muslim and believe in Islam. And their diets are in accordance with the rules of the Koran.

They don’t eat pig, horse, mule, donkey, dog, snake, turkey, meat of natural death, fishes that live on the surface of the water and the blood of all animals as well as the ferocious birds and animals such as tiger, wolf, lion, leopard, bear, elephant, monkey, eagle and harrier, etc. Besides that, they are forbidden to smoke opium and drink wine and so on.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou changed a completely new set of new kitchenware.

The rice grains used for the pilaf are usually long. Naturally, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t make an exception.

After a sound of “Peng”, he opened the newly appeared rice cabinet, inside of which was the Zengcheng Simiao Rice required by Yuan Zhou.

He scooped up the rice with the new porcelain bowl. The rice grains appeared beautiful and artistic in the white bowl. They were in long grain shape, spotless white and translucent; the rice grains glowed and gave people a vitreous feeling. Even before it was boiled, the faint fragrance passed into his nose.

“If things continue this way, I think I can collect all the tribute rice. I’m just not sure if I can summon a dragon with all of them.” Looking at the row of rice cabinets, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help ridiculing in the heart.

The system displayed, “No.”

“I don’t expect the dragon to appear. What about the reward?” On seeing the system’s answer, Yuan Zhou asked unconsciously.

The system displayed, “Please work harder to get more rewards.”

“As expected.” Yuan Zhou was speechless.

After he grumbled at the system as usual, Yuan Zhou focused on the pilaf.

Zengcheng Simiao Rice had always been known as the King of Chinese Rice and enjoyed equal popularity with Zengcheng Lvgua Lychee. Due to the spotless white and translucent rice grains and rich oiliness as well as the strong fragrance, soft texture and calm taste after cooking, the rice was quite famous around the area to the south of the Five Ridges and was even well-known abroad.

Of course, there was also a legend concerning the rice. According to the legend, there were two celestial being wandering in the air above Baishuizhai when they suddenly encountered a purple cloud rising. Seeing the beautiful hills and waters, they felt it must be a treasured land below the purple cloud. Therefore, they stopped at the Baishuizhai and built a monastery there, planting some rice grains on the bench terrace. That was the origin of the Zengcheng Simiao Rice.

While Yuan Zhou was playing symphonic music with the kitchenware, the discontented look on the face of the detailed person, Silika, diminished a lot.

“It’s fairly good here.” Silika complimented.

“Of course. You’ll feel the dishes are better than good after you eat it.” Ma Zhida said confidently.

“No, no, no. I mean this chef is very good.” Silika pointed at Yuan Zhou and said.

“Of course Boss Yuan is good.” Ma Zhida squared his shoulders proudly as if Silika were praising him rather than Yuan Zhou.

“I think Manager Silika must have noticed this chef changed new kitchenware while cooking the dishes for him. Am I right?” The beautiful director said as if she had known about that.

“You are right. Although I’m not Islam, I don’t like those messy tastes.” Silika nodded and said smilingly.

“Don’t worry. When you eat the dish, you’ll like him more.” On hearing that, Ma Zhida didn’t really feel anything special, but just said confidently.

In Ma Zhida’s opinion, Yuan Zhou was able to take all these details into consideration, even if no one specifically reminded him.

Currently, all customers in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had that kind of confidence in him. The taste of the food and the details were both perfect. That was just the impression that Yuan Zhou left on his customers.

“Haha. I will taste it carefully.” Silika said that.

Although he appreciated Yuan Zhou’s earnest and seriousness, he really doubted if he could cook the pilaf into that particular UAE taste.

Only in local places could people eat foods of local taste, just like one can only eat authentic Chinese dishes in China. Even if you went to the Chinatown in foreign countries, the foods weren’t that authentic.

Therefore, Silika wasn’t hopeful about that.
