Chapter 703 - Money-box (1/2)
“What?” Wu Hai just looked at Unworried Mulberry and asked again.
“Well, no…” Just when Unworried Mulberry wanted to say “nothing”, he changed his answer again, “Are you that very famous genius artist Mr. Wu, Wu Hai?”
“Asking for paintings? I don’t have the time.” Wu Hai knitted his brows out of reflex and refused flatly.
“No, no, no. I just want to confirm your identity.” Unworried Mulberry shook his head ceaselessly. He couldn’t afford Wu Hai’s paintings.
Wu Hai looked at Unworried Mulberry the same way he looked at an idiot.
“…” Then, Unworried Mulberry straightforwardly choked and didn’t know what to say.
“Judging from his terrible character, he’s surely the great artist Wu Hai.” Unworried Mulberry complained inwardly.
He didn’t even dare to see what Yuan Zhou cooked now.
“Here’s your Tea-smoked Duck. Please take your time and enjoy.” The soft voice of Zhou Jia sounded at the ear of Unworried Mulberry.
“Oh, okay. Thank you.” Unworried Mulberry immediately came to himself and turned to thank her.
“You are welcome,” after Zhou Jia said that, she turned around and left.
“Nice appearance!” It was the first reaction of Unworried Mulberry when he caught sight of the duck.
That’s right. The outward appearance of the Tea-smoked Duck was really not bad.
The whole duck was cut into pieces and then assembled into the shape of an intact duck again while the skin was a beautiful translucent golden red.
The cooked Tea-smoked Duck was placed in a long plate. A ripple of water could be seen indistinctly at the edge. On the whole, it looked like a duck swimming in the water.
Around the duck was a circle of dark green Lotus-Leaf-Shaped Pancakes like the little folded Lotus Leaf Sandwiches. And some white and delicate lotus flowers were painted on the plate beside the lotus leaves.
This plate of Tea-smoked Duck looked like a living duck swimming blissfully in the lotus pond.
“How beautiful it is!” Unworried Mulberry sighed with emotion. Then, he destroyed the aesthetic feeling without hesitation.
Because he picked up a piece of duck meat with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth immediately.
“Awoo.” Unworried Mulberry swallowed it up at a gulp. It was a piece of duck thigh and thus, the first thing he felt was the skin on the surface.
“Zi Zi”. Unworried Mulberry chewed it and there emitted the sound of the duck skin being chewed up.
The crisp duck skin contained quite a bit of fat. Once the teeth passed through the slightly rigid duck skin, they came into contact with the smooth and tender duck meat.
The duck meat was extremely fresh and tender. As soon as it was bit gently, the meat fell apart. In the meantime, there was also plenty of gravy inside, which was blended with the fat filled with the fragrance of tea. The taste was absolutely excellent.
“Hoo.” Unworried Mulberry couldn’t help heaving a gentle sigh.
“Ba Ji Ba Ji”. Unworried Mulberry couldn’t help but continue chewing. The slightly hard skin, the soft and tender meat, the fragrance of tea that became mellower while chewing and the stimulation of the slightly numbing Sichuan peppercorn all whetted his appetite.
During the process, there was also a kind of indescribable taste lingering in his mouth. Unworried Mulberry believed that it must be the fragrance of the Camphor tree.
“Ka La”. Unworried Mulberry even chewed the bones inside of the duck meat into little pieces. To his surprise, there was even bone oil inside. Even so, it still emitted the attractive fragrance of tea.
After he ate up a piece of duck meat, Unworried Mulberry didn’t stop, but he changed his method of eating. After all, he was also very interested in the dark green Lotus Leaf Sandwiches.
“The taste is terrific, but the breast usually doesn’t taste good. Let me use the duck breast to start with.” Unworried Mulberry took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of duck breast with one hand and then stuffed it into the Lotus Leaf Sandwiches with the other.
Actually, Unworried Mulberry was right. Unless it was taken out and cooked separately, the breast of poultry didn’t really taste good.
As it was all lean, it tasted dry and stringy. But what was this place? It was Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
