Chapter 41: Grilled Lamb Chops
Zhang Ping originally thought that Sun Kewei would take him to a big hotel, although he didn't want to admit it, but he had to say that because Zhang Ping's dishes were so delicious, he gave the impression that in terms of food, the taste was very tricky.
Even the largest restaurant in Wuyue City, Dingsheng Restaurant, has been picked out by Zhang so many faults, so if you go to an ordinary store, how can it be even more so?
But Zhang Ping looked at Sun Kewei's forward route, as if it was becoming more and more remote, if it was really a restaurant, it should lose money in this kind of place.
"Boss Xiao Zhang, are you thinking, which famous restaurant in Wuyue City will I take you to?" Although Sun Kewei is old, he is vigorous, and he looked at Zhang Pingdao with a smile at this time.
"I was thinking so, but when you asked, I already knew that the next thing I was going to was definitely not a big hotel, but a small restaurant on the side of the road. Zhang Ping said lightly, he was still a little uncertain before, and as soon as Sun Kewei asked, he said the answer.
Sun Kewei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Ping to guess the truth so easily, but he continued: "I know that Boss Xiao Zhang's requirements for food must be high, and even the Dingsheng Restaurant has been defeated, and the other situations are not much better, so I will take you to those small restaurants to try it, maybe you can get unexpected affirmation." ”
"It's very thoughtful, shopkeeper Sun. "To know the food of a place, it is not enough to go to a restaurant, those small shops interspersed in the streets and alleys are also representatives of a local cuisine.
Seeing that Zhang Ping did have some intentions, Sun Kewei also smiled, although he didn't need to scold Zhang Ping, but he did make a decision after thinking about it for a while.
Passing through another alley, Zhang Ping shrugged his nose, and could already smell the fragrance wafting, which was also mixed with the smell of carbon fire, which should be the signature dish of the store in Sun Kewei's mouth...... Grilled lamb chops.
"It seems that Boss Xiao Zhang has already smelled the fragrance, what does Boss Xiao Zhang think?" asked Sun Kewei.
"The environment is not very good, I can smell other irrelevant miscellaneous smells from this taste, bad reviews, but just from the ingredients themselves, the aroma of mutton has been completely roasted, and the use of spices is also very exquisite, which can bring out the fragrance of lamb chops at the same time, and can arouse people's appetite. Zhang Ping commented a few words with a simple evaluation.
Of course, Zhang Ping will not only praise Sun Kewei because of his relationship, nor will he grasp a shortcoming and criticize him as useless, on the whole, it can be regarded as objective.
Sun Kewei was dumbfounded, but he could say so many ways just by sniffing it from afar.
This made Sun Kewei nervous in his heart, after all, it was a place that he recommended with confidence, if Zhang Ping was not satisfied, wouldn't it mean that he was very visionless?
But now that we've gotten here, it's obviously impossible to retreat.
Walking into the store, the decoration of the store is very simple, that is, it is a grade with Zhang Ping's Ping An Restaurant, but it is slightly larger, there are about 20 buildings, and now there are many people sitting on the seats.
In addition to the boss and the proprietress in the store, there was also a guy who came to the kitchen to help, obviously the boss, the proprietress and Sun Kewei were already very familiar, the proprietress greeted him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sun, you haven't been to our store for a long time recently." ”
"I've been a little busy lately, so I'm not going to bring you a guest as soon as I came today. Sun Kewei said with a smile, and deliberately lowered his voice: "My guest is very stubborn, you have to be careful." ”
The proprietress was hearty and said with a smile: "What's not to do, no matter who comes, we cook like that." ”
Sun Kewei thought about it, so he began to order, in addition to the signature grilled lamb chops, he ordered a few more skewers and side dishes, and began to wait with Zhang Ping.
Soon the proprietress began to serve the dishes one after another, the lamb chops were a whole fan, eleven, between each one was just cut with a knife, and it was not cut, the surface had been roasted to brown, sprinkled with spices, mixed with the aroma of mutton, which made people appetize.
Then there are the beef skewers, which are plentiful and tender, and the last two side dishes are used to clear the mouth, so that you are not too tired of eating.
This whole set is only one hundred and fifty yuan, and the price is very fair.
"It's all on board, let's eat, Boss Zhang, see if it suits your appetite. Sun Kewei pointed to the lamb chops.
Zhang Ping is not polite, directly tear off one, there are still threads connected between the sheepskin, tear off the mutton on it with his mouth, the meat is soft, very elastic, and the fat layer of the mutton is not too thick, the appropriate amount of mutton fat, so that the fragrance of the whole lamb chop has risen a notch, and the juice continues to seep out of the half meat with Zhang Ping's chewing, which can be said to be more and more fragrant.
"How about Boss Zhang, it's not bad, right?" Sun Kewei said.
"Well...... this grilled lamb chop is naturally not as good as Zhang Ping's dish, but after all, this is just made of ordinary materials, and combined with the actual environment, the store has tried its best to release the deliciousness of the lamb chops with the existing conditions, so Zhang Ping nodded after pondering for a while: "It's really good." ”
This is not a food competition, to distinguish who is superior and who is inferior, and it is not like the last time I went to Dingsheng Restaurant, the purpose is to pick thorns, in addition to the color, flavor and surface of these things, it is equally important for the chef to be very attentive.
It is often said that this dish has no soul.
What the soul refers to is the amount of thought that the chef puts into the dishes.
It's not that you can't eat a dish without a soul, the taste of the two is actually about the same, it's just that the so-called food with a soul brings people something other than the dish itself.
"Boss Xiao Zhang actually said yes, I thought you were going to start picking thorns. Sun Kewei was surprised, he was ready to go, as soon as Zhang Ping opened his mouth to provoke, he immediately covered Zhang Ping's mouth and dragged Zhang Ping out directly.
"Don't say it, I seem to only pick thorns, I still have a standard in my heart for whether it's delicious or not. ”
Zhang Ping didn't care about him, he had already started to eat the remaining lamb chops, although Sun Kewei said that his body was quite tough, but he was still old after all, and he couldn't compare to Zhang Ping in terms of eating, and most of the lamb chops fell into Zhang Ping's stomach.
The taste of the beef skewers is not much better than that of lamb chops, whether it is in the selection of materials or grilling, it has been tested again and again, and adjusted to the best, coupled with the boss's many years of experience, in order to make every piece of beef on the skewer be grilled just right.
Satisfied, he finished all the dishes on the table, since he was here to collect style, it was naturally not enough to eat only one restaurant, so under the guidance of Sun Kewei, he went to another restaurant.
