Chapter 1403: Lacking in culinary skills

As soon as Yuan Zhou agreed, the expression on MA Zhida’s face became even more complicated. However, he still put on a serious expression and said,””Boss Yuan, you take the spoon.”

“However, my cup is small, so it can only be a small spoon. Otherwise, a big spoon won’t be able to stuff it in.” MA Zhida immediately added without waiting for Yuan Zhou to take it.

“But this is the kitchen. The spoons are quite big.” Yuan Zhou pretended to be in a difficult position and said.

“Is, is that so?” MA Zhida looked at Yuan Zhou’s Kitchen with puzzlement and surprise.

With a glance, he realized that it was really the case. There were large spoons hanging on the side of the knife. Such spoons wouldn’t be able to hold all the beef mince, let alone scoop it up.

The expression on MA Zhida’s face turned into one of fear. His brain was working quickly as he said,”This, this, should I go buy a new spoon?”

“No need. I just remembered that I still have a spoon that I haven’t used. That spoon is small.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and then said.

“Oh, that’s good.” MA Zhida let out a sigh of relief and nodded.

“This is it.” Yuan Zhou lowered his head and took out a really small spoon from the drawer under the countertop.

The spoon was like a decorative spoon used to stir coffee. It couldn’t even scoop up a piece of beef in the beef mince because it was too small.

Seeing such a spoon, MA Zhida felt a bit embarrassed. He couldn’t help but touch the beef sauce on his hand and said,””Actually, it doesn’t have to be this small.”

“It’s fine. I only have this small spoon. ” Yuan Zhou ignored the various types of spoons in the drawer and said seriously.

“Alright, then.” MA Zhida looked at Yuan Zhou’s expression and believed him when he found there was no change. Then, he passed the beef mince to him.

This time, MA Zhida didn’t say that he was going to scoop the beef mince himself. Instead, he took the initiative to open the lid of the beef mince and then signaled Yuan Zhou to scoop it up and taste it.

“Thank you,” he said. Yuan Zhou said earnestly before scooping up the soup.

“You’re welcome. Boss Yuan, if your culinary skills improve, we will still be the ones enjoying it. ” MA Zhida shook his head.

“Although I think you can’t make my mom’s exclusive beef mince after you try it, you can still learn more about it.” MA Zhida added with a proud expression.

This time, Yuan Zhou just smiled and said nothing. He then lowered his head and went to scoop the beef mince.

The beef mince in front of him contained celery, finely cut onions, three types of hand-chopped chilies, about twelve types of spices, and freshly squeezed rapeseed oil.

This was something that Yuan Zhou could tell at a glance. With that, Yuan Zhou also understood why MA Zhida said that the beef mince could only be made in this season.

This was because the rapeseed oil used was spring rapeseed oil, which was planted at the end of April and harvested at the end of September. Spring rapeseed was concentrated in the northeast and northwest regions, and only a few were planted, accounting for about ten percent of the total.

Moreover, the little celery was also ripe in September. According to the tradition of the older generation, which had never eaten seasonal dishes before, the beef mince could only be made at this time.

“This spring rapeseed oil is very fragrant.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Of course. My mom once said that the beef mince must be made with freshly squeezed rapeseed oil from our hometown. Otherwise, it won’t be as fragrant.” MA Zhida immediately said proudly.

“Yes, that’s true.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his agreement.

Seeing Yuan Zhou nod his head, MA Zhida became even happier. After all, Yuan Zhou was a great cook. But since even Yuan Zhou agreed with his mother, it naturally meant that the beef mince made by his mother was really good. Thus, praising his mother was like praising him.

“Then you’re from Qinghai?” Yuan Zhou scooped up the beef mince and said.

“That’s right, I’m from Qinghai. ” MA Zhida nodded.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then put the beef mince into his mouth and tasted it earnestly.

Yuan Zhou scooped up very little sauce. The spoon was indeed very small. The sauce that he scooped up only had some chopped chili and chili oil and a small bean.

As a matter of fact, Yuan Zhou’s five senses were far more sensitive than that of a superhuman. Not to mention eating, he could already know the basic cooking method of the sauce just by looking and smelling it.

Now, the chili was salty, spicy, and fragrant. The chili sauce with the taste of beef filled Yuan Zhou’s taste buds. In all fairness, the taste was indeed not bad.

The sauces used to make the beef mince directly appeared in Yuan Zhou’s mind. He even had a specific plan on how to improve the heat control of the cooking process.

These were all Yuan Zhou’s instincts as a Top Chef. However, when he tasted the dish, his expression was quite serious and solemn.

MA Zhida just stared at Yuan Zhou nervously. When he saw Yuan Zhou’s serious expression, he became even more nervous.

Not until the last bit of spicy and salty taste faded away did Yuan Zhou say,””It’s delicious. ”

“Hehe, of course,” MA Zhida immediately grinned and said after hearing that.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and set down the spoon.

“How is it? isn’t it super hard to make? you’ve never eaten such beef mince before, have you?” MA Zhida said proudly.

“It’s the first time I’ve tasted this. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“You won’t do it, right?” MA Zhida said proudly.

“Yes, I won ‘t.” With a hesitant look in his eyes, Yuan Zhou looked at the beef mince and suddenly thought of the dish of shiitake mushroom and cabbage. Then, he shook his head and said affirmatively.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Chefs aren’t omnipotent. They can’t do everything. ” “Boss Yuan, you’re still the No. 1 chef on the cooking ranking list in my heart. It won’t affect you,” MA Zhida consoled him.

“Thank you for your love.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

“Alright. Boss Yuan, you can study it slowly. I’m leaving.” MA Zhida smiled and then said.

“Alright, goodbye.” Yuan Zhou said.

“See you tomorrow,” After saying that, MA Zhida took the beef mince and left.

As usual, Yuan Zhou watched the customers leave. When MA Zhida walked out of the restaurant until he couldn’t be seen anymore, Yuan Zhou said softly,””It seems that my cooking skills are not good enough.”

On the other side, MA Zhida couldn’t wait to make a phone call after he left the house. Of course, he was calling his mother.

“Hey, mom, do you know that boss Yuan is the boss with super excellent culinary skills that I told you about? even he says that the beef mince you make is delicious.” MA Zhida took the phone and said seriously.

The other end of the phone might have laughed and scolded him, but MA Zhida retorted seriously, “It’s really delicious. Boss Yuan said that there are so many delicious things. Mom, you’re really awesome. ”

After that, something was said at the other end of the phone. MA Zhida started to praise boss Yuan again about how awesome he was and how delicious his dishes were. Then he said how delicious it was when he used boss Yuan’s plain white rice with the beef mince.

All in all, MA Zhida praised Yuan Zhou for a long time and then his mother.

Both mother and son were in a good mood after this phone call.
