As soon as Yuan Zhou said it was time to eat, the six people at the table picked up their chopsticks in unison and prepared to start eating. It could be said that they had a tacit understanding.
Even Jiang anyun, who was visiting the restaurant for the first time, picked up her chopsticks without falling behind.
"Please enjoy your meal." Yuan Zhou didn't stop. He turned around and walked out of the alley, leaving Yin ya alone.
Meanwhile, Yin ya also stretched out her slim and dainty hand and started to introduce the dishes. As everyone was waiting to eat, Yin ya didn't give a long speech this time. Instead, she simply introduced the names of the dishes and then let everyone start to eat.
"This is too amazing." The girl with bangs held her chopsticks and looked at the small and cute flowers on the plate. She couldn't bear to eat them.
Xiaochen, on the other hand, was quite carefree. But she didn't pick up the jasmine salad that she had long fancied without hesitation until Yin ya and Mo Yu started eating. She didn't forget to say,"Of course. This is little ya's boyfriend, head chef Yuan. He must be amazing."
After she finished speaking, she ignored everyone's gazes and stuffed the flower bud between her chopsticks into her mouth.
It was not that Xiaochen did not want to wait for a while, but the flower on the chopsticks was too fragrant. The fresh and strong fragrance of the flower was accompanied by the appetizing sour fragrance of The Cold Dish after the salad, and she could not help but want to wait.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the fragrance of the flower instantly filled the tip of his nose, making him feel as if he had just eaten a fresh and tender flower bud. The tip of his tongue touched the tender white flower bud of the jasmine flower, and the soft texture was followed by a faint fragrance and the fragrance of sesame.
The soft texture of the petal, coupled with the fragrance of the sesame and the elegant fragrance of the flower, made Xiaochen squint her eyes and swallow it in one gulp.
"Oh, it smells so good." Xiaochen had wanted to praise him, but as she spoke, the scent of Cape Jasmine seemed to rush out of her mouth. She subconsciously closed her mouth and said that it smelled good.
However, no one in the room had the intention to laugh at Xiaochen, because everyone was in a similar situation.
"So this flower can also be made so delicious, and it can also be made into so many cold dishes. What a wonderful idea." Mo Yu praised.
"Actually, the flower itself contains 22 types of amino acids, rich in protein, starch, fat, and also vitamin A, B, C, as well as trace elements such as iron, magnesium, kalium, and zinc. It has certain medicinal and health care functions, and can also strengthen the body and prolong life." Yin ya explained with a smile.
"For example, this Jasmine salad has the effect of clearing the lung and cooling the blood. It's especially suitable for today's hot weather." Yin ya pointed at the plates and bowls in the middle of the table and said.
That's right. Just when Yin ya said that, the six people had already finished all the cold dishes on the table very straightforwardly without leaving any of them.
After the six people finished eating, Mo Yu and Jiang anyun naturally listened attentively with a calm and composed look. Even when they saw Yin ya pointing at the empty plate and explaining the nutritional value of the flowers, their expressions didn't change.
As for the remaining four, Xiaochen, Qi liuhai, and the other two girls, they were a little embarrassed. As expected of a leader, his skin was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou came back with the tray again at that time. This time, he naturally served six hot dishes.
Every time a dish was served, Yin ya at the side would tacitly tell him the name of the dish.
"This is bitter thorny flower scrambled eggs. Bitter thorny flower is a unique plant in Dian province. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has the effect of lowering fire, blood pressure, anti-inflammatory, and summer heat. It also helps with indigestion." When she said the last sentence, Yin ya obviously revealed a teasing tone.
After all, just now, the six people had finished the six cold dishes of normal quantity like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds, while Yin ya had only tasted a mouthful of each dish.
"I won 't, I won' T. I can't eat too much in boss Yuan's restaurant." In fact, Xiaochen wanted to say that it was impossible for her to be full, but she thought that it would be inappropriate to say so, so she changed her words to' eat too much '.
Yin ya smiled and didn't say anything. She then introduced,"This is stir-fried Jade Lotus with broad beans. The Jade Lotus looks a little like Lily, but it's actually wild gardenias. It also tastes very good."
"Gulp." This was the sound of everyone swallowing their saliva without a trace while looking at the food.
"I've gained a lot of knowledge. These dishes are really exquisite. " Jiang anyun uncomfortably adjusted her sleeves.
What Jiang anyun wanted to say was that the name of the dish could be introduced after eating it. Who could withstand the fragrance? she just wanted to quickly stuff it into her mouth to taste it and didn't care about anything else.
Fortunately, there were only six hot dishes in total. Later on, Yin ya also introduced the dishes at a slightly faster speed. Soon, she came to the last dish: "This dish is the meat slices of peony."
"The peony flower is made from Luoyang peonies. Its color is bright and beautiful, and the fragrance is rich. Everyone, try it." After saying that, Yin ya made a hand gesture of "please."
At the side, Yuan Zhou also put away the tray and said,""Please enjoy your meal."
After saying that, Yuan Zhou took a look at Yin ya who was smiling at the corner of her mouth. Then, he turned around and left, continuing to prepare other dishes.
In fact, it wasn't that Yuan Zhou didn't want to accompany Yin ya. It was just that the flowers of the flower banquet needed to be soaked for two to three hours before they were made into dishes. Yuan Zhou had calculated the time and started to soak the petals in batches before lunch. He waited for the guests to prepare before they arrived and then began to cook after they arrived.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou was currently cooking. Moreover, the host of this banquet was Yin ya. If Yuan Zhou went there, he would inevitably steal the limelight from Yin ya. Therefore, Yuan Zhou pointed out the dishes and asked Yin ya to explain.
As soon as Yuan Zhou left, everyone couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and start eating. As usual, Yin ya, Mo Yu, and Jiang anyun were the first to start eating.
This time, Mo Yu's first target was the peonies meat slice. Other dishes were fine, but this was his first time seeing peonies in a dish. Naturally, he wanted to try its taste first.
Although peonies weren't the national flower legally, in everyone's hearts, the saying that peonies were the most beautiful was deeply rooted in their hearts.
As such, Mo Yu's first bite was not a slice of meat, but a piece of peony.
The peony meat slices were made by stir-frying pink and purple peony petals with thin slices of meat.
Because of the thin layer of cream, the pink-purple petals of the peony seemed to be slightly crystal clear. After heating, the petals became slightly transparent. When they were picked up by chopsticks, they did not collapse. Instead, they maintained the original appearance of the peony petals, which was very beautiful.
"It's the first time I've eaten a peony in a dish. " Mo Yu sighed with emotion and then started eating.
As soon as the petal entered his mouth, it had a warm feeling, and the thin outer layer of the cream immediately melted. When his tongue touched the petal, it felt like silk, delicate and smooth. The fragrance unique to peony was thrown away, leaving only the pure fragrance that rushed into his throat and nose, making him feel as if his entire body was fragrant.
"Oh." After keeping the fragrance, Mo Yu began to chew.
The petals were as soft as silk, but surprisingly, they tasted like vegetables and were very chewy. In addition to the peony's own fragrance, there was also a meaty fragrance mixed in.
"Yin ya, I wonder if your boyfriend's fresh flower banquet is for sale in the store?" Jiang N asked clearly as she ate.
