Chapter 702 - Yuan Zhous Hands (1/2)

“No, no, no. It won’t be a scam. I heard this boss’s knife skills are quite good a while back and there’s nothing special about this.” Unworried Mulberry immediately shook his head to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts.

While Unworried Mulberry was looking for Yuan Zhou’s weaknesses carefully, Yuan Zhou had started to process the duck further.

However, this time, he washed his hands first with salt rather than plain water. That’s right, he washed his hands with salt.

“What the hell is he doing?” Unworried Mulberry was quite surprised.

As it was known to all, it wasn’t comfortable to wash one’s hands with salt, not to mention that Yuan Zhou had to keep his hands quite sensitive. He felt more uncomfortable and even had a sense of cauterization.

Besides, it could be obviously seen. While Yuan Zhou was washing his hands, they were slowly becoming very red.

Just because he found that, Unworried Mulberry felt quite astonished.

“You are making a fuss. As a chef, he must guarantee that cleanness comes before taste. Before rubbing the duck with salt, he naturally must wash his hands with the salt,” Lee Yanyi looked at Unworried Mulberry angrily with contempt and said lightly.

“But his hands will not be comfortable.” Unworried Mulberry knitted his brows.

“It is the principle of Boss Yuan in regards to cooking. He is never careless in this aspect.” Lee Yanyi didn’t say much.

Then, Unworried Mulberry stayed silent and continued looking at Yuan Zhou.

“Hooo…” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief inwardly. Then, he scattered clean salt on the duck and then began to rub it.

For an instant, there came a light sound of “Pa Pa” from the restaurant. It was the light sound of the duck touching the wooden basin. Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou was massaging the duck. Of course, he rubbed it more heavily on the meaty parts such as duck legs and abdomen.

In the end, there was only the inside of the duck left. When he rubbed this place, Yuan Zhou added some tea leaves in the salt.

Not until when the salt completely melted and the tea leaves started emitting a faint fragrance of tea leaves in the cavity did he finish processing the duck.

When he found the single duck required such complicated treatments, Unworried Mulberry became hesitant. How painful those red hands would be!

Yuan Zhou then brought up a smooth wooden hook and tied the duck neck on the hook to fix it firmly. After that, he opened a door of a cabinet and hung the hook in it.

Of course, this wooden hook was made of Camphor wood. Only this kind of wood would not affect the taste of the duck.

Having done that, Yuan Zhou took out a new duck from the cabinet. This was the duck that Unworried Mulberry would eat later.

After all, pickling a duck required at least ten hours. If he prepared the duck from the very beginning, the customers could only eat it on the following day. Therefore, there were always two ducks prepared in the cabinet.

In other words, only two people could eat the Tea-smoked Duck in one day.

The duck taken out of the cabinet had already been smoked. It could be served as soon as it was steamed.

While it was being steamed, Yuan Zhou took out a piece of dough prepared in advance and then began to knead it.

“Get me a serving of Tea-smoked Duck, too.” On seeing the wheaten dish made by Yuan Zhou, Lee Yanyi also ordered this dish, too.

What a joke. Yuan Zhou was definitely preparing the Lotus Leaf Sandwiches. Therefore, this dish would include both meat and main dishes. It was the most accurate way of eating and besides, he had never eaten it before. It was simply perfect.

“All right. Please wait for a moment.” Zhou Jia nodded her head and then went to report the order.

She had barely reported the order to Yuan Zhou when she came across a problem. Somebody was talking loudly. However, this was considered to be a common issue, because the person wasn’t here to eat but to ask Wu Hai for his paintings.

This person was wearing a streaked business suit. Judged from the well-ironed and soft cloth, the clothes weren’t cheap at all.

Speaking of which, this person was a bit similar to Wu Hai as he also had a full beard. However, this appearance didn’t seem to be harmonious along with the business suit.

After this person got his turn and came inside, he headed straight for Wu Hai. In just a few steps, he walked to Wu Hai.

“Mr. Wu, good evening.” The person greeted him loudly.
