Chapter 2300: The fifth-anniversary gift package
Translator: 549690339
As mentioned before, Qiao Hongtao was involved in a very large seafood business. To be more precise, he was a big Seafood import and export merchant.
In fact, seafood was the same as many other ingredients. Some were seasonal, and after the season, the taste would decline. Therefore, everyone would choose to eat the right ingredients in the right season.
For example, Alaska King crabs were usually the peak season for eating during December and February, when the crab meat was the fattest, and it would age if the meat quality exceeded the meat quality.
However, judging from what Qiao Hongtao had been eating in the restaurant for the past two days, this standard didn’t exist in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. For example, he deliberately ordered a Singapore dish, Yingying curry fish head, and even specially instructed to use red silk fish.
The red silk fish was definitely the most delicious in November, but now, before November, Qiao Hongtao had eaten the most delicious fish head. He didn’t know how he had raised it.
However, Qiao Hongtao didn’t rashly ask. This was a trade secret, and he knew what was going on. It was like if someone wanted to ask him why the Luo Fei fish provided by his company were of the same quality all year round. Whoever dared to ask would definitely have to give a tight slap to the wall to vent their anger.
Although he was a Singapore Chinese, Qiao Hongtao still understood the meaning of “don’t give what you don’t want to others.” What he wanted now was to eat more in his limited time. Even if he ate more, he would still earn.
Dinner time was very lively, and there were many people. However, time also pa.s.sed very quickly, especially for those who were enjoying the food. It seemed to pa.s.s in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yungui’s family of four laughed and chatted as they left, looking very satisfied. Qiao Hongtao held his stomach and walked slowly. He didn’t hold onto the wall not because he cared about his image, but because he was still missing one more bite.
The other diners were also very satisfied with the dinner, but of course, in a different way.
Yuan Zhou busily sent the customers out and then handed the sober-up set meal to Mao Ye. Only after that did he finally have some free time.
It was also because Yin ya didn’t come over for dinner today but went to have dinner with her close friends. Otherwise, he would have to send her home after dinner with her before he could have some free time.
Just when Yuan Zhou was pondering what to do in his heart, the system suddenly appeared.
“Congratulations to the host on the 5th anniversary of the opening of the shop. Would the host like to collect the 5th anniversary gift bag?” The system displayed.
It went straight to the point. Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that the system actually took the initiative to mention the grand prize, which made Yuan Zhou a little unaccustomed to.
“My little comrade system, why did you change your style?” Yuan Zhou hesitated for a while and then said.
The main thing was that the scene of him fighting for the fourth-anniversary gift bag was still vivid in his mind. Even the stingy look of him when the third-anniversary gift bag was confiscated was still fresh in his mind. Now, he actually took the initiative to give out the gift bag. It was simply unbelievable.
It was probably broken?
“Would the host like to collect the fifth-anniversary gift bag?” The system maintained its usual style.
As long as it wasn’t about cooking, he would answer when he wanted to. If he didn’t want to answer, he would hide.
“Let me think.” Yuan Zhou said directly.
The main thing was that although the system hadn’t cheated him in a long time, the Big Hole of the t.i.tle of master of cooked Wheaten food and the Big Hole of business hours were still there. It took a lot of effort to fill it up later. Now, he had to think about it.
Moreover, after all the scamming with the system, he had developed feelings for it. Regardless of whether he suffered losses or not, he could not step into the pit.
This was like drinking with a friend and saying that the one who was drunk would treat them tomorrow. This was not a matter of money, but mainly that you couldn’t lose when it came to drinking.
“System, can I take a look at the grand prize first?” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then came up with a compromise.
He first looked at the contents of the gift bag and considered whether there were any traps before speaking. After all, Yuan Zhou was quite satisfied with the current progress.
“Sure.” The system was very straightforward.
Then, a s.h.i.+ny golden gift bag appeared in Yuan Zhou’s mind. It was really the color of nouveau riche gold. From the packaging to the ribbon, everything was golden, as if it didn’t show that it was rich.
However, no matter how dazzling it was, it was still in the form of a gift box. The only difference between it and an ordinary gift box was its color.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to show me the grand prize?” Yuan Zhou looked at the system for quite a while and still didn’t proceed to the next step. He asked directly.
“The host said to take a look at the grand prize first, so this is the grand prize.” The system had deliberately highlighted the words “look at the grand prize first” as if it was afraid that people couldn’t see it.
Yuan Zhou paused for a while and instantly became speechless. This was really to show the grand prize. There was nothing wrong with it.
“There shouldn’t be any problems with the anniversary gift bag. The business hours can be set a long time ago, and I’m almost done with the t.i.tle, so there’s nothing else to change. Besides, according to the usual practice, the gift bag will mostly reward dishes or snacks, so there won’t be any invisible pits.”
Yuan Zhou a.n.a.lyzed the situation from the beginning to the end in his heart and then calmed down. As the host, he couldn’t be cheated.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Sitting upright on the chair, Yuan Zhou coughed twice and then said after adjusting his posture,””I’m here to collect my gift bag. ”
Then, the Golden Gift box in his mind, which was originally still, began to spin slowly. At first, it was extremely slow, then it slowly accelerated. In the end, it could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, and it exploded with a bang.
“It’s quite ritualistic,” Yuan Zhou felt that the system had quite a lot of tricks.
After countless fireworks, a book appeared. On it was written “an summary of seafood processing methods”. It was so solid that it was almost as good as the menu in the restaurant.
However, no matter how thick it was, it couldn’t cover the fact that it was just a book. Yuan Zhou wondered if the system was so attentive this time because the reward was too little.
“System, isn’t it a little too shabby to only reward one item in this gift bag? it doesn’t suit your style as an outstanding system?” Yuan Zhou felt that he could try to get more benefits. There was never a time when he would feel that the reward was too much.
“Lord host, there’s more.” The system displayed.
Then, Yuan Zhou saw a few words slowly emerge beside the book,”the restaurant has unlocked one table for two.”
“Is there any more?” Yuan Zhou asked.
This time, the system didn’t say anything. Yuan Zhou waited for a while and there were no more changes. It was probably nothing else.
Although it didn’t feel like much, it was still good to take something for free.
“How to handle seafood?” Yuan Zhou looked at the t.i.tle of the book carefully and roughly knew what it was about.
When the cuisines were awarded previously, there was indeed no matching way to process the ingredients. However, most of the ingredients were processed by the chefs themselves in their own unique ways. However, seafood was different.
Many seafood had their own unique processing methods, and many of them were even processed by specialized masters. When they obtained Shandong and Cantonese cuisine, there were many seafood-related dishes.
He had obtained the cooking experience of many chefs, but the processing of seafood was indeed fumbled out by himself. He had always felt that it wasn’t very good, but he didn’t have the chance to improve it and could only do it slowly.
Now that he had the system’s processing method, Yuan Zhou felt that the quality of the ingredients should be able to reach a higher level, which also meant that the taste of the dishes would also improve accordingly.
The quality of the ingredients determined the taste of the dish. This was a fact that every chef knew.
“I can use the remaining time to see if there’s anything special about this book.”
Yuan Zhou looked at his watch and found it was still early. The pub time had just started and there was still some time before it ended. He could take advantage of this time to read the entire book and then carefully figure it out one by one.
