2004 Candied Haws

There was a small incident, but dinner time went very smoothly.

The pub was closed today. Therefore, Yuan Zhou informed Mao Ye in advance that it was a holiday today and didn't allow her to come over.

Since he had decided to prepare the street food, Yuan Zhou started to prepare it not long after the dinner ended.

"Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling"

Of course, it was impossible to prepare only one type of snack. Yuan Zhou intended to prepare a few more kinds so that everyone had a choice.

"I'm just that kind of understanding. " Yuan Zhou was quite complacent.

"Candied gourd, this definitely can't be lacking. Xiao Ya will definitely love it too. Make more for Xiao Ya. It's still cold, so it's best to eat some fried chestnuts. " Yuan Zhou prepared everything in an orderly manner.

The one with the sharpest nose was definitely Wu Hai. As long as Yuan Zhou was cooking, even if there was a System Shield, the only difference was whether Wu Hai was at Taoxi road or not. There were no other exceptions.

"Compass, is it raining today?" When Wu Hai sneaked in from the door and saw Yuan Zhou had prepared a lot of food, he was instantly struck by an idea.

"Yes, I'm preparing street food today." Yuan Zhou said.

It was cloudless outside now. The pitch-black night sky was completely clean and there was no sign of rain at all. However, when Yuan Zhou said it would rain, Wu Hai felt it would definitely rain.

"Is there any meat?" As a carnivore, their focus was different.

"There is." It was a street snack, but it was definitely not good without meat.

However, unlike the barbecue, where there was a clear distinction between meat and vegetable dishes, there were more varieties.

After getting Yuan Zhou's answer, Wu Hai quieted down immediately. Then, he sat there and prepared to eat. His sitting posture was probably similar to Romeo 's.

To add on, Romeo was a dog, Zong Mo's dog.

The Tanghulu prepared by Yuan Zhou didn't follow the traditional cooking method of only using Hawthorn. Instead, he used many fruits in the restaurant, such as strawberries, apples, even oranges and pineapples.

When Yuan Zhou boiled the syrup, he used a very special technique. Therefore, after pouring it on the fruits, they were all crystal clear. If it wasn't for the fact that the fruits were a little shiny after careful observation, one basically couldn't tell that he had poured sugar on them. The only difference was that the color was more beautiful than before.

The second person to arrive was Wang Hong. Even though he guessed the rain wrong 11 out of 10 times, it didn't stop him from making it to the barbecue time every time. However, whether he could get his favorite food was another matter. In fact, it was also a skill.

"Boss Yuan, are we going to eat roasted chicken wings today?" Wang Hong belonged to the type of person who would become braver in the face of adversity.

"No, I didn 't," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.

"Oh, it's fine. It's good to have candied gourd." Wang Hong took a quick glance and found a seat.

As the time for the barbeque drew near, dark clouds began to gather in the originally clear night sky. "Drip, drip." A little drizzle began to fall from the sky.

"Boss Yuan is very accurate every time. He's even more accurate than the weather forecast." Wang Hong felt that it would be great if he had such a skill.

"When have you ever seen an accurate weather forecast?" Zhao Yingjun strode in from outside.

Wang Hong thought about it and agreed that it was indeed not a good time.

Yuan Zhou passed a clean, snow-white towel to Zhao Yingjun and helped him wipe his face and hands. After all, he was a little wet.

Mr. Wei and his daughter, Wei Wei, followed closely behind. These two hadn't been here for a long time, and today was just in time for the barbecue.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei is here. Come and sit here, sit here." The moment Wang Hong saw Mr. Wei, he greeted him with great enthusiasm.

This was a good person who could exchange chicken wings with him. He had to maintain a good relationship with him, even though he didn't roast chicken wings today.

Wei Wei couldn't bear to look at Wang Hong's enthusiasm. She had been to many chicken wing changing scenes and felt sorry for Wang Hong. However, if she had to choose, she would definitely choose her father.

"Oh, it's you. I'm here." Mr. Wei greeted him with a gentle expression.

He brought his daughter to sit next to Wang Hong. Then, the two of them started chatting as if they were close friends.

"This guy's IQ is far worse than meaty." Yuan Zhou looked at it and said nothing.

When the time came, Yuan Zhou's preparation work was almost done and the snack time began.

"It's street food today. We've prepared three types of food. Everyone has a portion of each. No ordering." Yuan Zhou said.

"Then I want to eat oranges." Wang Hong looked at the glistening oranges and was very tempted.

"It'll be whatever it is. " Yuan Zhou said primly.

Then, they began to distribute things, one stick of candied Hawthorns. Some people got apples, some got traditional Hawthorn, and some got pineapples.

Each person had a portion of sugar-fried chestnuts. There were not many, only a dozen or so, but the chestnuts were very big. Each one was the size of a walnut. There was a big crack in the middle, revealing the slightly yellow flesh inside. The sweet fruit fragrance assailed the nose and was very tempting.

There was also a plate of fried skewers for each person. They were also different. Some had tenderloin with beef, some had potatoes, and some were vegetarian. It depended on one's luck.

Although there were many types of candied Haws, everyone had a special preference for candied Haws and most of them chose to eat it first.

"Ka Cha, ka Cha"

Wei Wei also chose the candied gourd first. She had a bunch of white strawberries, and there were five of them in one bunch. Each of them looked almost the same size as if they had been measured with a ruler.

Of course, Wei Wei didn't know that the strawberries were indeed measured with a ruler.

The transparent sugar wrapped every strawberry evenly. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it at all. With one bite, the crisp sugar coating first, then the sweet strawberry, all melted in the mouth.

"Oh, it's delicious. It's really delicious." Wei Wei felt that the Tanghulu cooked by Yuan Zhou was really delicious. It was an indescribable taste. She didn't know how to describe it other than delicious.

Wang Hong held a stick of traditional candied Haws and looked at Mr. Wei's glistening oranges. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He didn't like the sour taste of Hawthorn, but preferred the sweetness of oranges. However, the oranges weren't in his hands.

Then, he looked at the two skewers of tenderloin and beef on the other side of the small plate, and the two skewers of eggplants and potatoes on Mr. Wei's side. Suddenly, he had an idea.

"Brother Wei, boss Yuan's candied gourd must be very delicious. Do you often eat this kind of candied gourd when you were young? why don't I swap places with brother Wei and let him recall his childhood?" Seeing that Mr. Wei seemed to be hesitating, he immediately continued,""Of course, I won't take advantage of brother Wei. I'll give brother Wei a skewer of tenderloin and a skewer of beef to try. It's compensation. After all, brother Wei has more oranges."

Because the orange was in pieces, it was slightly smaller than the Hawthorn. Therefore, there were six hawthorn seeds, while the orange had eight pieces.

"I'm such a clever little boy. " Wang Hong felt that his idea was great.

Completely unaware of the gazes of the people around him, Wang Hong, who was silently immersed in his own 'great', stared at Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei pondered for a while. What could he do if he were to force his way in? he nodded,""Alright, since you've said so, I'll exchange with you."

The two of them made a friendly exchange.
