"Xiao An, take it to the hall to eat, or just eat it in the kitchen?"

Tian Lu pointed to a few dishes on the workbench and asked Zhou An's opinion.

Zhou An glanced at the situation in the kitchen, the braised mutton was cooked, and the mutton in the white soup had also been cooked, so he nodded, "Let's go to the hall! It's more comfortable to eat sitting than standing." ”

With him to speak, Tian Lu, Zhou Jian, and Da Han, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately served one by one, and walked to the hall with three dishes.

Here is an introduction to the layout of the lobby and kitchen of the new store.

To put it simply: there is a door between the kitchen and the lobby, but if you don't go through this door, the kitchen also has a door that directly leads to the main street of the food court.

At this time, the food is served to the hall, of course, through the inner door.

"Manager Qu, please!"

Zhou An stretched out his hand to signal.

Qu Yanyang smiled and nodded, "Mr. Zhou, please first!"

Zhou An waved his hand, "Manager Qu is polite, you don't need to call me Mr. Zhou in the future, just call me Xiao Zhou or Anzi as before!"

"Then don't call me Manager Qu, just call me by my name, or Yangyang. ”

"Yangyang?"

"Yes!"

"Hehe, forget it, I'll still call you Sister Qu!"

"That's fine!"

Zhou An smiled, and the two walked to the hall while talking, with Zhou An in front.

The name Yang Yang will make Zhou An think of his cousin Zhou Yang, and he doesn't want to think of this younger brother from time to time.

……

"Originally, I should have made a white cut mutton to try the taste, but the freshly cooked mutton is not cold, and it is inconvenient to make a white cut to eat, so let's try these three things first! ”

After taking a seat around a table near the bar in the hall, Zhou An made an opening remark, and then stretched out his hand to signal everyone to eat.

A portion of lamb pot is bubbling under the heat of an alcohol oven, a portion of fragrant lamb's trotters with red and green peppercorns and purple onions and chopped green onions, and a portion of steaming mutton in white soup with the same color and aroma.

Of course, beer is indispensable.

As the saying goes, there is no banquet without wine, not to mention, except for Qu Yanyang, several men here have been busy all night, eating mutton and drinking some beer at this time, even if they are drunk, at this point in time, they can go back to sleep, and they can't delay anything.

As for how much a few bottles of beer are worth?

No matter how stingy Zhou An was, he didn't pick the door to this extent, not to mention, the new store is about to open, and both beer suppliers have a large number of free beer giveaways.

That is, the beer they drink tonight is free.

What's there to be reluctant to do here?

"Okay, then I'm welcome! I'll try a braised one first. ”

Dahan was the first to use chopsticks to deal with the mutton pot boy, and his fat face was full of joy.

Tian Lu was also not polite, "I'll nibble on a sheep's trotter first, I guess it's not so fragrant when it's cold!"

Tian Lu said quickly, but the fastest one to reach out was Zhou Jian, who started without saying a word, Tian Lu's voice did not fall, he had already silently picked up a piece of sheep's hooves and gnawed it deliciously, smacking his mouth while gnawing back, and he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense at all.

Zhou An looked at it funny, and while lifting chopsticks, he looked at Qu Yanyang, who was sitting side by side with him, and Qu Yanyang also happened to look at him with chopsticks, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Sister Qu, eat it! You're welcome, look at them like this, no matter how polite you are, all the good ones will be eaten by them!"

"Heh, okay, you're welcome!"

Qu Yanyang said, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, sandwiched a few pieces of mutton liver and mutton from the white soup mutton, and then sandwiched a small piece of mutton blood, and scooped up some soup with a spoon in his hand.

Compared with her impatience, Tian Lu and they were already full of praise while eating.

Da Han: "Woo, this mutton tastes amazing! Wild dog, you taste this braised one, it's so delicious, I'll tell you!"

Tian Lu: "Pepper and salt sheep's trotters are also delicious, I'll eat braised ones after eating this, well, by the way, can you stop calling me wild dogs at this time?"

Dahan: "Why? Woo, it's delicious!"

Tian Lu: "Well, this is really fragrant, but the meat is a little less, it's all bones, why do you say why? I'm eating mutton, you call me a wild dog, I always feel that when I will become these dishes on the table, but mutton will become dog meat!"

"Flutter!"

As soon as Qu Yanyang's blood caught his mouth, before he could enter his mouth, he heard Tian Lu's words and immediately burst into laughter.

Da Han and Zhou Jian also laughed so hard that their shoulders trembled.

Zhou An glared at him angrily, and reprimanded with a smile: "Cousin, can you be serious? Everyone is eating? If saliva is sprayed into the dish, will everyone still eat?"

Tian Lu laughed and apologized repeatedly: "My mistake is my fault!"

Then he bowed his head and concentrated on the trotters in his hand.

The mutton trotters cooked together with the mutton in the white soup have long been crispy, and you can tear off a piece of the crispy rotten by biting a little meat skin with your teeth and slightly tilting your head.

After two more frying, the meat inside is slightly tightened, and the meat skin on the outside has a slight crispy feeling, which makes the crispy meat become fragrant and chewy, and then accompanied by the spicy taste of green and red peppers, and the aroma of onion and green onions, as well as the spicy and salty umami of pepper and salt, that taste.

Look at Zhou Jian after chewing a piece of sheep's trotters, and subconsciously licking the minced meat on his fingers, you can see how delicious this thing is.

The mutton is very fat, and if it is a ram that has not been castrated, there will be a strong commotion in the meat.

But that's all the effect of craftsmanship that can't be made at home.

In order to get rid of the smell of mutton, he racked his brains and used more than a dozen spices, old ginger, green onions, rice wine and aged vinegar were all used, and he tried to put as many chili peppers as possible.

But there will always be progress in craftsmanship, as long as he is willing to work hard, use his brain more, and try more, gradually, he has more and more experience in making mutton.

The spices used are getting fewer and fewer, and the rice wine is still used, but the aged vinegar will not be put away, because he later heard that it is best not to put vinegar in roasting mutton and eating mutton, because these two things conflict with each other.

Goat meat is cool, and when paired with vinegar, it hurts the body, and sheep meat is hot, and when paired with vinegar, it also hurts the body.

Nowadays, when he makes mutton, even if he doesn't put any kind of spices, he only uses a piece of old ginger, which can clean the smell of mutton.

As for the secret?

To put it bluntly, it's nothing, it's just a matter of heat, the heat is used well, roast mutton or fish, a piece of old ginger is enough to remove the fish.

Qu Yanyang didn't eat mutton before, so at this time, she was not as anxious as Dahan and them, and even a little cautious about testing poison, the sheep blood was caught in her mouth, she smelled the smell first, but she didn't smell the breath, so she dared to bite a little.

At first, it was just two bites, but after two bites, my eyes lit up slightly, and the speed of chewing increased significantly.

After eating a piece of mutton blood, I picked up a piece of mutton, and I also smelled it first, but I still didn't smell the breath before I dared to try it.

Before she finished eating a piece of mutton, the expression on her whole face became vivid, unconsciously filled with a happy smile, and the speed of continuing to eat was much faster.

"Why doesn't this mutton have any gas at all? It's so fresh!"

While eating and drinking, she also joined the army of praise.

"One of my masters once said that food with a fishy smell and a strong smell can actually taste very good as long as it can turn the fishy smell or the smell into an aroma!

Zhou An was eating a piece of braised mutton, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said casually.

Da Han nodded again and again, Tian Lu thought about it and nodded in agreement, Zhou Jian blinked, and took the time to echo in his hurry: "It seems to be true!"

But Qu Yanyang's focus is different from them, and I don't know if it's because women's thinking is different from men's?

"One of your former masters? Anzi, have you ever had a lot of masters? At your age, such a good craft, you should have learned it for many years, right? Someone in your family is a chef, right?"

Qu Yanyang looked curious, she was purely curious, so there was no pressure to ask.

But her question made the atmosphere at the table quiet.

The chopsticks that Da Han quickly stretched into the pot suddenly stopped, and then quietly withdrew them; when Tian Lu put the sheep's hooves in his mouth was about to bite down, he also stopped and didn't bite any further; Zhou Jian was originally eating happily, but at this time, he also quietly slowed down, his head was slightly off, and he quietly glanced at his eldest brother Zhou An's expression.

In fact, every employee in the old store has been curious about this question.

Someone once asked Zhou An.
