Chapter 528 Birthday Banquet
"This is unscientific and impossible." Jiang Changxi said two impossibilities in a row.
This is indeed the case. This winter vegetable is not like other vegetables and can be grown in the greenhouse. Even if the black rice leaf is a traditional Chinese medicine, it is limited to the fruit of Tai. It will not be grown in the greenhouse at all.
But the warm and steaming black rice in front of her always reminded Jiang Changxi that this was true.
"What's impossible?" Ling Hong, who was waiting to drink, asked curiously.
"Even if you bought this black rice leaf from somewhere else, there is no raw material for making this rice in this weather." Jiang Changxi turned to Ling Hong and frowned.
"Then what?" Ling Hong still didn't know why.
"So, boss Yuan, how did you do it?" Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou and asked seriously.
"This is the chef's secret." Yuan Zhou wore a mask, but his voice came out clearly.
"Secrets make men more masculine." This is not the end, because the store is full of regular customers, Yuan Zhou also added this sentence.
"Huh?" Jiang Changxi was a little confused.
She always teases others. Is this a sign of rebellion?
However, Jiang Changxi quickly adjusted herself, with a smile on her face, and her eyes with black eyeliner were slightly narrowed, making her eyes look long and charming before she spoke.
"Oh? What kind of smell is it? Can you let me smell it?" Jiang Changxi deliberately lowered her voice and asked with a bit of hoarseness and sexiness.
However, contrary to Jiang Changxi's expectation, Yuan Zhou subconsciously touched the pockets on his body. After discovering that the Hanfu had no pockets, he took a step back. It was obvious that he was trying not to cheat me.
"No." Yuanzhou refused righteously.
"Boss Yuan, tell me how you did it?" Jiang Changxi took a deep breath and asked calmly.
"Secret." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"The food is getting cold." Yuan Zhou reminded him kindly.
"Okay, let's talk after we finish eating." Jiang Changxi looked at the pearlescent dark blue black rice in front of her, then looked at Yuan Zhou, and still chose delicious food.
Black rice is originally made from rice grains soaked in the juice of black rice leaves and then cooked.
However, this cooking is still very particular, because if the soaked rice grains are to be cooked to a moderate softness and hardness, then the water needs to be added very appropriately.
This time Yuanzhou chose Wuchang rice, which is known as tribute rice for thousands of years, because it has full grains, hard texture, and white and transparent color. After soaking, the cooked rice will be shiny and fragrant, and it can absorb black rice very well. The unique aroma of rice leaves.
Because Wuchang rice has a beautiful appearance, the rice cooked with the dark blue rice grains is also very beautiful.
"Is this sugar added to the food?" Jiang Changxi ate less than half a bowl of black rice before she noticed the sugar plate at hand.
"Yes, you can add more if it's sweet. If it's not sweet, don't add it." Yuan Zhou said.
White sugar is a condiment. Among the requirements for making Mibai, Yuanzhou specially prepared a plate. After all, some people like to mix white sugar with rice when they eat it.
"Try it." Jiang Changxi was very cautious and only added a little bit. She still felt a little awkward about adding sugar to rice.
The small saucer was light brown, and the sugar inside looked white, crystal clear, and delicate. It should be soft white sugar, Jiang Changxi thought to herself.
There is a small spoon on the side of the plate to hold the sugar.
The spoon is so small that even those like Jiang Changxi who don't want to mix rice with sugar have to take two spoons before stopping.
Dark blue with the luster of rice grains. After sprinkling crystal white sugar on top, the color looks more suitable. And because the black rice is warm, some of the white sugar has begun to melt when sprinkled on it, leaving a bright and shiny texture. syrup.
"It looks pretty good." Jiang Changxi was pleasantly surprised before taking a bite and eating.
However, this time it is not the fragrance of rice grains, but a slight sweetness that hits the tongue first, but it is not greasy at all because the sweetness is really light.
After chewing "bajibaji" for a few times, the starchy sweetness in the rice grains was evoked by the sweet white sugar, and the fragrance of the black rice leaves was well neutralized. It tasted really sweet and fragrant.
"This is delicious with sugar," Jiang Changxi said with satisfaction.
"Sugar in rice? I think it would be better to add beef sauce." Wu Hai retorted habitually.
"If you don't believe me, just order it and you'll know." Jiang Changxi said naturally.
"Just give it a try. Boss Yuan, I also want a bowl of black rice." Wu Hai pointed at Jiang Changxi's bowl and said.
"Our restaurant's dinner business hours have passed. Please come early tomorrow." Yuan Zhou motioned to Wu Hai to check the time.
"Uh, I just came over. Jiang Changxi, you tricked me." Wu Hai reacted immediately.
Jiang Changxi clearly said this on purpose, just to prevent him from eating it.
"No, I didn't pay attention to the time either." Jiang Changxi said seriously.
"Haha." Wu Hai showed his disbelief and turned his head and ignored the person.
"Okay, let's have hot pot together next time. I found a vegetable seller. The quality is good." Jiang Changxi offered inducements as if comforting a child.
"There's no good quality food out there." Wu Hai sneered.
"That one is no worse than Ling Hong's." Jiang Changxi said confidently.
"Oh? That's not bad." Wu Hai believed it now.
After all, the vegetable seller Ling Hong found was really good, and they would buy it whenever they wanted to eat hot pot.
The boss there always looks at a few people in the wrong way.
After all, when the boss wants to come, the city people are so good at having fun. When they go to the store to eat hot pot, they bring their own food and have to pay for it afterward.
The boss personally asked about the payment. After knowing that the price was so high, the boss felt that several people were sick. Not to mention, I heard that he was currently planning to go to the hot pot restaurant they mentioned to sell his food.
The boss has a good idea and takes the high-quality route. Selling it more expensively can make more money.
Wuhai agreed, but Jiang Changxi didn't reply. She just nodded and continued eating her own rice.
"I didn't expect Assistant Xiao Yang to have a good taste." Jiang Changxi did not forget that this was Assistant Xiao Yang's favorite, and sighed in her heart.
"Boss Yuan, what are you thinking about today?" Liu Jian'an, who was waiting on the side, asked.
"No." Yuan Zhou answered directly without thinking.
"Oh, well, please think about it again and I'll come back tomorrow." Liu Jian'an was not discouraged and said enthusiastically.
"No need, I have no plans to go out to cook." Yuan Zhou said simply.
"Boss Yuan, are you worried about the inconvenience? Don't worry, I will provide a separate kitchen, brand-new kitchen utensils, and fresh and high-quality ingredients. Although it may not be as good as what you have in your store, there are definitely some things that you don't have." Liu Jianan was confident. Said Manman.
"No need." Yuanzhou still refused.
"It's okay, you think about it, I'll come back tomorrow." After Liu Jianan said that, he ran away.
"Persistent young man." Jiang Changxi said with emotion just as she was finishing her meal.
"Indeed." Yuan Zhou rarely nodded.
After all, Liu Jian'an is really persistent and knowledgeable, but Yuan Zhou still doesn't know how to do a birthday banquet.
