Chapter 610 - Ample Food And Clothing By Working With Ones Own Hands (1/2)

The fat chef didn’t really understand Li Li’s thoughts, but what he should do now was to manage the kitchen orderly. Therefore, he headed into the kitchen very quickly.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou had started to cook the Salt Baked Chicken. That’s right. What Yuan Zhou was going to cook was the Salt Baked Chicken originating from Dongjiang.

It was unexpected but this dish had nothing to do with the great Su Dongpo.

“System, you surprisingly provide a slaughtered chicken this time. You seldom do so. I thought I would get to see live chickens all over the cabinet.” Yuan Zhou opened the cabinet and couldn’t help ridiculing.

He had reasons to feel excited about that. When he cooked the Silk Twined Rabbit previously, the rabbits were all alive in order to guarantee the freshness of the rabbit meat. It wasn’t a pleasant experience for Yuan Zhou to see lots of live rabbits when he opened the cabinet.

It was really quite good to provide the slaughtered chickens this time.

The system displayed, “Host, do you want to kill the chickens by yourself?”

“No, not really. It’s fine now.” Yuan Zhou wiped the nonexistent perspiration on his forehead and said immediately.

The system displayed, “This chicken is called Cenxi Sanhuang Chicken. It originates from Guangxi. Until now, it hasn’t been hybridized with any other chicken breed from other places. Hence, it’s a superior native chicken.”

“The chicken is small and looks gorgeous. As it likes pecking and moving ceaselessly, it’s characterized by its tender meat and thin bones; therefore, the taste is delicious. It’s the best food ingredient to cook the Salt Baked Chicken.

“I see. I read it just now. The chicken eats fruits, right? I got it.” Yuan Zhou indicated that he had read the breeding process of the chicken and he didn’t want to be hurt again.

“Let’s say something practical. The chickens are all males, so you must have kept the chicken liver, right?” Yuan Zhou processed the chicken and then searched around for it while asking.

The system displayed, “Cocks are used in winter while hens are used in summer. For other things, you can check by yourself.”

“Um, that’s good. According to the ancient text Nei Ze, it does no good to people if one eats chicken but doesn’t keep the liver.” Yuan Zhou showed off his profound knowledge with an indifferent manner in the face of the system.

After all, Yuan Zhou had read so many books. There weren’t any difficulties for him to cite ancient styled prose.

The cooking method of the Salt Baked Chicken is actually very simple. First, wash the chicken until it’s clean and then remove the water droplets over the surface. After that, scatter the table salt over the chicken and preserve for a while. Finally, wrap the chicken with the lotus leaves, put it in the salt and bake it until it was cooked.

Therefore, it didn’t take Yuan Zhou too long time to cook such a dish. After it was cooked, his lunch was ready too.

During the period, the only difficulty was when Yuan Zhou prepared to put the dish on the table. After he experienced the cooking method of the Roast Goose, however, Yuan Zhou had been accustomed to splitting up the chicken even when it was scalding hot.

“It’s truly so fresh, tender and salty.” Yuan Zhou ate up an entire chicken naturally.

Even if this chicken only weighed 1.75 kg, Yuan Zhou ate up an entire one in a breath, leaving only some bones that he couldn’t chew. He prepared to give them to Broth to eat later.

After Yuan Zhou had lunch, it was almost lunchtime for the restaurant, too. He had barely prepared the ingredients when Zhou Jia entered the restaurant.

“Good noon, Boss.” Zhou Jia greeted him and then directly took the rag, starting to do the cleaning.

“Um. We have a new dish today, Dongjiang Salt Baked Chicken,” Yuan Zhou said lightly.

“Okay, I see.” Zhou Jia took out her phone calmly and started to post this information in the group.

Zhou Jia and Shen Min were already used to Yuan Zhou’s surprise attacks, so they had also prepared some emergency plans.

For example, they joined many Wechat gourmet groups so they could notify the customers at the earliest time possible.

Once the information was released, the customers seethed with excitement.

“As far as I know, Boss Yuan will definitely serve a new dish after leaving for so long. See?” somebody said complacently.

“We all know that. But it’s the Dongjiang dish again this time. I find that Boss Yuan likes the great Su Dongpo very much,” somebody else also noticed this matter.

Nevertheless, Yin Ya only noticed that it was her favourite dish.

That’s right. Yin Ya liked eating chickens and moreover, preferred dishes with a lighter taste. And this Salt Baked Chicken just fitted her taste preferences very much.

Yuan Zhou didn’t serve new dishes very frequently in his restaurant. Every time he did so, however, it was a heavy blow to Li Li’s restaurant as many of his customers went to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to watch the bustling scene.

It was still the same this time.

“Huh? I haven’t seen you for a very long time.” Wu Hai nodded his head and greeted Yin Ya who waited behind him.

“The Spring Festival is coming. We are just too busy,” Yin Ya replied helplessly.

“Then why do you have time to come over here today, Beauty Yin?” Ling Hong came up and made fun of her.

“I know. This person must have come for the new dish,” Man Man said immediately.
