Chapter 298: This Taste, Beautiful Drops! [Ask for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass]
The broth of the mutton in the water basin is very distinctive, the most obvious is to highlight the numbness of Sichuan pepper.
Mutton is a warm and tonic food, which is not suitable for summer consumption, but the people of Guanzhong creatively put a large number of peppercorns into the mutton in the water basin, so that the mutton, which was originally easy to get hot, instantly became a dampness dissipation weapon.
Sichuan pepper is a unique spice in China, ranking first in the seasoning "thirteen spices". Its taste is pungent and hot, and it has the effects of aromatic stomach, warm and cold, dehumidification and pain relief, insecticide and detoxification, itching and fishiness.
Add the dampness of Sichuan pepper to the mutton, the combination of the warmth of the mutton and the effect of the pepper to remove dampness, not only increases the effect of dampness and sweating, but also makes the originally greasy mutton soup much more refreshing.
In the hot summer, eating a bowl of mutton in a water basin not only increases appetite, but also expels moisture and impurities from the body, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Xu Zhuo turned up the heat, and when the broth boiled again, he began to put condiments in the pot.
First of all, a large handful of flower peppers, compared to dried peppercorns, flower peppers into the soup not only have a numb taste, but also can increase the umami, for the water basin mutton, flower peppers can definitely play the finishing touch.
In addition to the fresh peppers, Xu Zhuo also added some pepper to the pot to increase the flavor of the broth.
While the broth was tumbling in the pot, Xu Zhuo began to tear the mutton that had just come out of the pot with his hands.
After more than two hours of stewing, the mutton has already become crispy, the fat and thin lamb belly is full of juice and fragrance, and when he tears the mutton, Xu Zhuo feels that his hands are almost delicious.
The lamb in the water basin is usually cut into thick slices with a top thread, but it is said that the most elaborate way to eat it is to tear the lamb into small pieces by hand.
I don't know if it's like this, but I can try it today.
After all the mutton was torn up and put in the basin, Xu Zhuo looked at the time, it was almost half past five, and it was time to have dinner to welcome the arrival of the evening rush.
He brought the bowl and began to grab the mutton into the bowl.
Unlike the legendary three slices of meat, Boss Xu grabbed a large handful of meat into each bowl, and then sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions and chopped coriander.
After everything was set, he scooped a large spoonful of tumbling mutton soup from the pot and poured it into the bowl, and a delicious aroma suddenly filled the kitchen.
This smell is even a little addictive to Xu Zhuo, and it's too fragrant, right?
The fragrance attracted all the people in the back kitchen, and Xu Zhuo pointed to the already made water basin mutton and the basket full of crescent cakes.
"Let's take it out and eat it, and how about trying the mutton I made in the basin. By the way, Jianguo, call Mr. Ma, he has been thinking about the mutton in the water basin for several days, and today let him enjoy it. ”
When the store was not open this time, Ma Zhiqiang has been helping Xu Zhuo to publicize, in order to prevent no customers in the two days after it opened, he also called on students who are okay at home to report to the school in advance.
People praise us so much, and we have to repay them.
Mr. Ma has no worries about food and clothing, smooth work, harmonious family, and nothing else to pursue except food.
Therefore, to repay others, you have to start with food.
And this bowl of mutton in the basin is not only to repay Ma Zhiqiang, but also related to Li Hao's comfort level this semester, which cannot be taken lightly.
Bowls of mutton in the basin were brought out, and the waiters and girls outside were all dumbfounded.
"Is this the mutton in the water basin? It does smell different, but I don't know if it will taste very greasy like mutton steamed buns." ”
In the past, Li Hao was noisy to eat steamed buns when he was idle, and he could eat Coco and Sun Panpan had psychological shadows.
The mutton steamed bun is delicious, but it is very greasy, and it is not so obvious at first, but after eating it for a few days, no matter how delicious it is, it makes people not interested.
Now the mutton in the water basin made by Xu Zhuo smells good, but whether it is delicious or not is not necessarily.
Xu Zhuo was still in the back kitchen at this time, he washed a handful of two wattle sticks and cut them into circles and put them on a plate, sprinkled some salt, poured some light soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, and then drizzled a few drops of sesame oil, and the refreshing chili pepper eaten with mutton was ready.
When he came out with a plate, Jianguo, a few assistant cooks and Meng Liwei had already started eating, and they praised Xu Zhuo's delicious cooking while eating.
However, there were also a few people who didn't move their chopsticks, such as Sun Panpan and Yu Keke, who were not very hungry at this time, and they were worried about being greasy, so they kept sitting on the side and didn't dare to try.
In addition, Zheng Jia didn't eat it, Xu Zhuo put down the plate, looked at Zheng Jia and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Jia shook her head: "I don't like to eat green onions and coriander......"
Xu Zhuo glanced at her in surprise, he really didn't expect that catering-related practitioners would not eat these two things.
He smiled and said, "I was careless, I'll make you another bowl now, it's very simple." ”
After speaking, Xu Zhuo entered the kitchen and made Zheng Jia a bowl of mutton in a basin without green onions and coriander.
After it was brought out, Xu Zhuo was just about to try his own craftsmanship, Zheng Jia suddenly said: "Boss Xu, in the future, can we bring out the braised noodles in our store with green onions and coriander in small plates, some customers don't eat green onions and coriander, you have to pick them out one by one when you put them in the bowl, it's so troublesome." ”
Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, the Xu Family Restaurant in the provincial capital has always been this rule, but Xu Zhuo didn't care about it, thinking that it was a bit of a fuss.
But if you think about it, it seems that sometimes when you come out of the back kitchen, you can indeed see that some customers have eaten and all that is left is chopped green onions and coriander.
Some people even picked it out of the bowl and put it on the table, so that half of the table was covered with chopped green onions and coriander leaves.
Since this is the case, it is not difficult to change it in the future, and it is not difficult to get a small plate with a little green onion and coriander, so as not to leave a bad impression on customers.
After he made the announcement, he took the crescent moon cake, broke it, took a few pieces of mutton from the bowl and sandwiched it, and put in some green chili rings.
Then clamp the crescent cake tightly, bring it to the mouth and take a big bite, the aroma of lamb belly, the coolness of green chili, and the crisp of the crescent cake are mixed together, not to mention how beautiful the taste is.
"Look at the way you eat it, is it really delicious?"
Yu Keke came over, although she also wanted to try it, but when she saw the fat and thin mutton in the bowl, she was a little sick to her stomach.
Xu Zhuo put down the crescent moon cake in his hand, took another one, and gave Yu Keke a crescent cake according to the way he sandwiched mutton, and then sent it to her mouth: "Take a bite and taste it, it is definitely beyond your imagination!"
The little girl took a small bite with the mentality of trying, and after chewing a few times, her eyes immediately widened: "Eh, this is a bit similar to the meat bun! This green pepper with meat tastes delicious......"
After speaking, Yu Keke snatched the crescent moon cake from Xu Zhuo's hand, held it with both hands, and ate it in a big gulp.
"I hope you can taste it quickly, the taste is really good, and the beauty is very good!"
