2714 Kongcheng rice dumplings

The sugar paper hadn't arrived yet. The varieties that Yuan Zhou was making now could be stored for a long time. However, there were still several varieties that had to be wrapped in sugar paper after they were made. He had to wait until the sugar paper arrived. That was why he decided to make the final plan for the sugar paper this afternoon.

It was morning now. After lunch time, he could decide on the candy wrapper. If everything went well, he would be able to use the candy wrapper by tomorrow.

Naturally, the packaging factory could directly send the photos of the samples to Yuan Zhou for him to choose, which was convenient and convenient. However, in order to show the importance and to let Yuan Zhou clearly see the real thing and make his choice, it was more secure to send someone to make a trip there.

He looked at the big clock at the side and found it was already quite late. It was time to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Therefore, Yuan Zhou washed his hands twice and dried them again before finishing up the sweet bean paste on the chopping board.

When he was busy with something, time seemed to pass by very quickly. Especially for Yuan Zhou, as the wedding day with Yin ya was approaching, he was a little nervous compared to Yin ya's calmness.

It wasn't because the wedding date itself was tight, but because he was afraid that some things couldn't be prepared well enough and thus couldn't give Yin ya a perfect wedding experience. It wouldn't be good if there were any regrets.

Yuan Zhou's whole body was tense. He couldn't let Yin ya know about this. Of course, it was still a little difficult to hide this from the person who shared the same bed with him, especially when Yin ya was quite sharp and smart.

Sometimes, it was reasonable for Huaxia people to say that it was rare to be muddled. Yin ya was in such a state now.

She knew some things about Yuan Zhou's state of mind, but she couldn't help him with these things. No matter what she said, it would be useless. Besides, it would be a waste of Yuan Zhou's good intentions. Therefore, she could only pretend that she didn't know anything and try her best to cooperate with him.

On a sunny afternoon, Yuan Zhou was making wedding candies as usual. This time, he planned to make lard candy, a specialty snack of Guangdong Province.

The wedding candies made by Yuan Zhou were also candies with local characteristics. He chose one from each of the eight major cuisines and finally made eight wedding candies. He had originally intended to choose six kinds of candies, but after discussing with Yin ya who had just returned from her business trip, he finally chose eight, which was also a very auspicious number.

It wasn't difficult to choose one of the eight major cuisines. As for the other cuisines, he could only put them aside for the time being. There wasn't any at the wedding candy, but there would definitely be many cuisines at the wedding banquet. After all, not only did his apprentice have to cook, but Yuan Zhou himself could also cook.

Of course, the customers who came to attend the wedding wine were only surprised and didn't pick on anything. There were so many dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou to eat and yet they still wanted to be picky. Weren't they afraid of thunder on a sunny day?

"Ta ta ta"

The sound of hurried footsteps came closer and closer. Soon, they arrived outside the shop. Lei ti came in like a whirlwind. Fortunately, he had good braking skills. Otherwise, his face would have been in close contact with the bar counter. This must be the legendary face brake.

"Boss Yuan, boss ... Boss Yuan, I brought you ... A good thing this time. It's really a very good thing. Take a look and you'll know it's a good thing." Lei di adhered to the principle of repeating important things three times, and he emphasized it several times.

It just so happened that Yuan Zhou had just taken out the ingredients of the lard sugar and was preparing to start. He didn't do it yet. At this time, he could stop and see what the Thunder problem was. It was so important that he didn't even have the chance to catch his breath.

Yuan Zhou walked out of the kitchen and came to the partition. He opened the door and went out to the restaurant, standing in front of Lei ti.

As a matter of fact, Lei ti had some reputation. Although he was not as good as Lee Yanyi as a food critic, he was active in different sections due to the different specializations.

While Lee Yanyi was busy writing a book for Yuan Zhou's restaurant to organize the ingredients for the promotion, Lei ti didn't stay idle either. He stayed in Chengdu for a period of time and then went to work in other places. He would bring back some strange foods, uncommon ingredients, and seasonings for Yuan Zhou.

As for whether it was because Yuan Zhou gave him some of his own cooked food every time, or if it was because he loved to do this, only he himself knew.

When Lei ti saw Yuan Zhou come out, he immediately took out a thermal lunch box. It was a cylindrical shape and looked quite big. It was the color of aluminum and iron and looked very ordinary.

Of course, as soon as Yuan Zhou saw that, he knew that Lei ti had brought food instead of ingredients this time. Moreover, it was hot food.

Even without Yuan Zhou saying anything, Lei ti was able to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly by himself. He had already gotten used to this.

"These are the authentic kongcheng rice dumplings. I happened to meet the authentic inheritor of the rice dumplings when I went there this time. It wasn't easy for me to ask someone to make several of them so that I could bring them back for you to try, boss Yuan."

"If I didn't bring up your name, the head chef wouldn't have made it for me. He said that no delivery is allowed. Boss Yuan, your name is really useful. The head chef directly made 20 for me. Moreover, they were made by the authentic previous inheritor. He doesn't even cook anymore. This time, he made an exception. I also know that this is definitely due to your contribution, so we each took half and I brought 10 for you." Lei di said very naturally.

Sometimes, Lei di wanted to bring some things back, but the local rules forbade ordinary people from bringing these things out, or in large quantities. On the one hand, it must be the regional protection policy that restricted the sale of some things, and on the other hand, it might be the rules of the chef himself.

Every time he said that he was bringing it to Yuan Zhou, he would get the green light all the way. In the land of China, the name Yuan Zhou was getting more and more useful. However, Lei ti knew his limits. He didn't do anything out of line in Yuan Zhou's name. They were all trivial things and he would always tell Yuan Zhou before doing anything. Therefore, everything had been smooth so far.

"The rice dumplings from kongcheng, Anhui Province are indeed top-notch, especially Mr. Zhang Zongyi's Sea Moon shrimp rice dumplings, which are famous far and wide." Yuan Zhou said.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's the rice dumplings made by this old man. There are several kinds of fillings. I heard that each dumpling has one kind of filling. I haven't eaten it yet. I don't know what kind of filling he brought. Boss Yuan, try it." Lei di opened the lunch box.

He carefully removed the layer of steaming oil from the top, then directly poured it into the White and Fat Rice dumplings below.

"Swish!"

The oil made a sound when it came into contact with the rice dumplings, and the fragrance of the oil stimulated the already rich rice fragrance, making it even more fragrant and sticky.

"Well-cooked rice dumplings with lard is indeed the authentic way of eating in kongcheng."

Yuan Zhou didn't stand on ceremony. He directly picked up the chopsticks handed over by Lei ti and picked up a rice dumpling and put it into his mouth. It was stuffed with bean paste. The sweetness of the rice dumpling and the glutinous sweetness of the bean paste combined together with the cooked lard made it look very clear, glutinous, and delicious.

The surface of the skin was soft and sticky, and it was covered with the bean paste filling. One bite was almost full of bean paste. When chewed together with the rice skin and bean paste, the outside was sticky and tough, and the inside was soft. The texture was different, but there was a unified place, reflecting each other. Each texture was very prominent, but they did not appear abrupt. Instead, they complemented each other and made people feel that they were almost perfect.
