Chapter 573 (2/2)
“Grandpa Lee, you like drinking the lemon water. Do you know the origin of the lemon?” The girl was naturally younger than Lee Yanyi, she was actually around 20 years old or so.
“You usually don’t care about knowledge nor skill? Why did you suddenly become fond of this kind of information?” Lee Yanyi knitted his brows and asked.
“I suddenly want to know.” The girl suddenly emphasized the word “suddenly” and asked with a fake smile.
As for why the girl had been commented by Lee Yanyi as “have neither knowledge nor skill”, the reason was very simple. It was because she had once misstated the taste and cooking method of a type of dish.
At that time, she was straightforwardly taunted for quite a while by Lee Yanyi and was even defined as “have neither knowledge nor skill”.
The girl was just chatting with her friends at that moment. Unfortunately, they just happened to sit beside Lee Yanyi and then the matter happened.
“The lemon is originally produced in places such as Malaysia, the Mediterranean coast, Southeast Asia and American countries. But now, we also have lemon in our country and most of them are originally from France. However, Boss Yuan’s lemon should be produced in Anyue.” Lee Yanyi let out a train of professional words in one breath.
“You really know much. But unfortunately, this lemon doesn’t grow in Anyue. Actually, only its seed is from that place.” The girl said with a tone of regret.
“Impossible. Judging from the texture, it’s undoubtedly the breed of the Lemon King from Anyue.” Lee Yanyi said affirmatively.
“It really isn’t. It’s produced on the south side of the Himalayas. As the annual rainfall precipitation reaches 1000 mm and the lemon likes the warmth. Furthermore, it can tolerate shade but fears heat and cold. Just perferct to be cultivated in subtropical regions that are warm during winter and cool during summer with not much difference in temperature. And that place happens to that type of region.” Similar to Chen Yu, the girl brought out a long paragraph of words.
The difference between the girl and Chen Yu was that she came prepared. She could directly recite it without reading the brochure.
Before Lee Yanyi had time to contradict her, the girl continued to explain the reason why its texture and fragrance were so much like that of Lemon King.
“The lemon in Boss Yuan’s restaurant is only from the maternal plant. Those from the branches are all trimmed. Since the nutrients are all absorbed by fewer lemons, they naturally have top texture.” When the girl said that, she appeared confident and earnest.
She spoke as if she had taken part in such strict selections of the ingredients.
“Interesting. You surprisingly know these things. You have must have memorized a lot of information.” Lee Yanyi said to the point.
“Of course. I also like doing homework in advance and fight no war unprepared.” The girl said full of confidence.
“It’s good as long as you don’t speak carelessly.” Lee Yanyi glanced at the girl and didn’t really get angry.
Since the girl had reached her goal to let Lee Yanyi know she was also very capable, she returned to her own seat satisfied.
After that, however, Lee Yanyi continued to be questioned by other customers in turns. For example, the question about watermelons, the question about the soybeans, the raw material of tofu.
And the question about the flour of the Clear Broth Noodle Soup provided by Yuan Zhou. All in all, various questions.
“I have told you I’m not from the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. How would I possibly know these damn things?” Lee Yanyi said angrily.
“Um. It is good that you don’t know that, either. Boss Yuan turns out to be so awesome, using all these top-grade ingredients.” The customers sighed with emotion one after another.
“That’s really absurd!” Lee Yanyi looked at the customers who had asked him questions and said indignantly.
“Grandpa Lee, look at this and you’ll know why.” Zhou Jia handed him the brochure prepared by Yuan Zhou at the side.
Lee Yanyi read very fast, thus he discovered the problem very soon after he flipped some pages.
“You little brats, is it interesting to bully an old man like me? And you chef, why did you write the introductions of the ingredients for? Just concentrate on cooking.” Lee Yanyi said discontentedly energetically.
