Chapter 125: The Charm of Two Signature Dishes
Zhou An was busy in the kitchen, and customers came in one after another in the store, and the two waiters, Xiaomeng and Xiaoxia, under the command of Xia Wenjing, tried their best to entertain new customers.
Almost every customer who enters the store looks up at the menu on the wall.
The menus on the walls are divided into several categories.
At the top of the list are some of the restaurant's signature dishes: rampaging crayfish, spiced snails, fish bite sheep, pork ribs with Wuxi sauce and duck blood duck soup.
The second and third rows are cold dishes such as: fried peanuts, cucumber segments, pickled pepper chicken feet, spiced beef, etc.
The fourth row of fish, such as: stinky mandarin fish, fish head in white soup, braised small yellow croaker, stewed tofu with angsting fish, small trash fish with salt and pepper, etc.
The fifth line is beef and mutton, such as braised beef pot boy, braised mutton pot boy, pepper and salt lamb trotters, white cut mutton, and mutton blood mutton soup.
The sixth line is some snacks, custard buns, egg yolk cakes, fried stinky tofu, pumpkin pies, golden steamed buns, taro balls and the like.
The seventh line is shredded pork noodles with pickled cabbage, large rib noodles, small rib noodles, large meat noodles, egg fried rice, Yangzhou fried rice, sauce meat fried rice and so on.
The eighth and final line is some soups in addition to duck blood and duck soup, such as green vegetable and meat ball soup, seaweed egg soup, pork ribs and kelp soup, tomato egg soup, etc.
As the signature dishes, except for the spiced snails, which seem to be relatively cheap, the prices of the other dishes are not close to the people.
Let's not talk about the raging crayfish, 45 a serving, this price Zhou An has not been complained about less, duck blood duck soup 40 a piece is not cheap, fish bite sheep is also sold to 40, Wuxi sauce pork ribs are not to be outdone, the same price is 40.
As for the other dishes and snacks, the prices are much cheaper.
For example, the cheapest egg fried rice is 3 yuan per serving.
However, the pricing of most of the dishes is still slightly higher than that of other small restaurants of similar size in Yinma County.
Why did Zhou An dare to sell it like this?
Of course, because you get what you pay for!
Take a look at the Wuxi sauce pork ribs that have just been served to the table of Wang Hao and his wife! The red color of the tomato sauce is soaked into the pork ribs, the red light is translucent, and a little white sesame seeds are sprinkled on it to decorate, and then lined with a white plate without any patterns, when the waiter Xiaomeng brought this dish over, every diner in the store was very surprised.
"Wouldn't it? What kind of dish is this? It's so beautiful......
A young man looked a little stunned, he had never been to a big restaurant to eat, he had never seen a dish so beautiful, it didn't look like it was burned with chili peppers and soy sauce, but it was so red and bright, especially those white sesame seeds sprinkled on it, especially beautiful.
A fat man sniffed his nose and exhaled, "It's so fragrant...... Hey, little sister, what's the dish in your hand, and give us one too!"
"That's right, give us one too!" Hu Fusheng's daughter-in-law laughed with interest.
Xiao Meng looked back and smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "This is Wuxi sauce pork ribs! One of the signature dishes in our store! Okay, you all want one, right? I'll order you right away!"
When she proudly served this dish to the table of Wang Hao and his wife, Wang Hao's daughter-in-law Yan Simin swallowed her saliva, couldn't wait to put a piece into her mouth, her mouth moved twice, only to see her eyes light up, "porphyry", like a fart to spit out the bones in the ribs, clean, no trace of meat stained clean bones.
Separate from one's blood relative......
If this word is used on a father and son or a father and daughter, it is definitely a tragedy in the world, but when it is used to describe a dish like pork ribs, it is definitely a beautiful word.
Unless the ribs are not cooked in the pot, this effect will be rotten.
"Is it delicious?"
Wang Hao asked her curiously.
"Hmm...... Uh-huh......"
Yan Simin's mouth moved up and down quickly, eating with a smile, he didn't have time to answer Wang Hao seriously, and the response from his mouth was like the kind of discordant sound he made when he forced it.
Wang Hao licked his lips, couldn't help but put a piece into his mouth, and in an instant, his expression became vivid, and soon he also "porphyll", spit out a bone that was cleaner than a dog gnawed, but the meat was still chewing in his mouth.
They're not professional chefs, so they can't tell all the good things about the ribs.
In fact, the separation of the bone and flesh of the pork ribs can be done by many chefs with good skills, which is nothing more than simmering over low heat, with enough time, and sooner or later the bones will be crispy and the meat will be rotten.
But the Wuxi sauce pork ribs made by Zhou An have another beauty - that is, the shredded meat does not stuff the teeth.
In fact, the lean meat on the pork ribs is also easy to be cooked so that each piece of meat is separated, and when you eat it in your mouth, it is easy to stuff your teeth.
But the ribs made by Zhou An do not have this shortcoming.
……
When the waiter Xiaoxia served a duck blood duck soup to Hu Fusheng's table, the whole restaurant could smell the tempting aroma of duck soup.
Hu Fusheng's family and Uncle Lu looked at the bowl of soup that had just been served, and they were all surprised.
"Why is this soup so clear? It can't be mixed with boiling water, right?" Uncle Lu spoke straight, and said whatever he thought in his heart.
"Yes, this soup is too clear, like boiled water!" Hu Fusheng's daughter-in-law was also puzzled.
Her daughter was even more direct, turned her head and asked Xiaoxia who served them food, "Hey, your old duck soup is too fake, isn't it?" The soup is as clear as water, and there are not a few drops of oil on it, you just opened and fooled people like this, don't you want to open this shop?"
"Hey, don't be so rude! Xiao Zhou shouldn't fool us, let's try it first!"
Hu Fusheng spoke out at the right time to stop his daughter, which can be regarded as indirectly saving Xiaoxia, whose face was already slightly red, because Xiaoxia had the same perception of this big bowl of soup as them.
She has grown so big, she has never seen duck soup like this.
It's like the water that has just been scooped out of the water tank, but there is no way, she is here to work, and the dishes cooked by the boss himself let her serve them to the guests, she dare not say no.
Under the watchful eyes of the family, Hu Fusheng first scooped a small half bowl of duck soup for himself, and took a sip directly from the bowl, as soon as the soup was in his mouth, his waist immediately straightened up, and he waved his hand to his daughter-in-law and daughter who were looking at him in surprise, "Hmm, hmm, this soup is fresh! Good! It's so fresh! And I'm sure it's definitely not the kind of umami that comes out of chicken essence and monosodium glutamate! You can taste it! Uncle, you can also drink some of it!"
Hu Fusheng, who is the captain of the urban management team of this food street, is qualified to distinguish the umami of chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, and there are not too many people who usually invite him to eat and drink.
It's just that Yinma County is only a small county, and the catering grade is not high, and with his identity, he has never seen such a clear duck soup.
Soon, with a skeptical attitude, the eyes of Hu Fusheng's wife and daughter, who had tasted the taste of this soup, also lit up.
Hu Fusheng's daughter spoke up first, "Huh, it's really delicious, so fresh......"
Then it was Hu Fusheng's wife, "How did this soup come out?" There are no oil beads on the soup, but it is not difficult, just take a spoon and skim off the oil beads after stewing, but this soup is so fresh and fragrant, and the soup is so clear, I have never seen it before, is the real clear soup like this?"
(PS: Thank you for your concern, I will review a few items for my daughter tomorrow, and I should be able to go home.) )
