It's lively here, it's busy there, more than 30 people, divided into four pulls, four dishes per person, accompanied by the sound of the rumbling exhaust, were sent to the elevator by the handyman, and then poured into the big basin by the top. At half past eleven, the unique "exam" was over, Sister Jin led the handyman to clean up the kitchen, and Li Na led the two waiters to divide the dishes.

After the top and bottom were cleaned up, the doors on both sides were locked, and the four of them went out of the Cultural Palace to take a taxi to Donglaishun.

Donglaishun Hotel is in Guangrong Street, not far from Lu Yuan, it has its own processing and distribution center, at that time on the edge of Yingpan cold storage, its materials are its own processing center, and then packaged and sent to the hotel, but also in the supermarket shopping mall retail.

When they arrived in Donglaishun, Chen Hui and Chen Xiao were already waiting here, Xiaohong was also sitting there talking to Chen Xiao with a small bag on his back, Xiaowei came in and looked at Xiaohong, and asked in surprise: "Xiaohong, why did you come here too? Isn't there a class in the afternoon?"

Xiaohong looked at Sister Jin and Li Na who were following the two of them and said, "Come on, Sister Jin, Li Na." When I go back after eating, I won't be happy to come to shabu mutton, and I'm tired of eating in the cafeteria. Besides, I haven't been here yet, and I don't think about it at all. ”

Xiaowei walked over with a smile and said, "How can you be, it's that Lao Xia said that you won't come, I'm quite surprised, let's go, have you ordered?"

Chen Hui said: "No, we have just been here for a while, thinking about waiting for you to order it together, warm and warm." ”

A few people walked into the hotel, and the newspaper operator came to greet and lead the table, there were not many people at this time, and the room was steaming.

Xia Maosheng said to Chen Hui: "Huizi, I have found two generals for you, and the kitchen and foreman are in charge." ”

Chen Hui was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Na and Sister Jin, his eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "It's interesting, it's okay, it's indeed a general." ”

Chen Xiao and Sister Jin Li Na met for the first time, and when they heard their words, they whispered, "Who are they?"

Xia Maosheng said: "The Cultural Palace Hotel, one is in charge of the restaurant, the other is in charge of the kitchen, the boss is often absent, they are all in charge of Zhang Luo, two people who are very capable, Li Na said to find a dozen beautiful girls about 1.7 meters tall to be waiters for you." Oh yes, Huizi, dormitory, I forgot to arrange the dormitory, let's go over there after dinner for a while, let's take a look at it, see how it is done, you have to be able to live in someone. ”

Chen Hui patted his thigh and said, "Yes, the dormitory, I really forgot." ”

Chen Xiao asked, "Do you still have to get a dormitory?"

Xia Maosheng said: "It is necessary to open a dormitory in a big hotel, and you have to take care of food and accommodation. ”

Xiaowei said: "The restaurant is so busy that people can't eat and sleep as normal, and no one can stand it if you let people run back and forth." ”

Chen Hui said: "it, let's go over there for a while, if it doesn't work, I'll find Director Li to find a way." ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the table, and everyone sat down around the table to order.

Shabu mutton, also called charcoal hot pot, is a special hot pot in the north, and the hot pot in the south is not the same thing, it is a copper pot with charcoal in the middle, sandwiched with slices of meat or vegetables in the boiling soup to eat, and the southern mixed cooking is different. The seasoning is also different, the seasoning in the south is based on sesame oil, with garlic, pepper oil, peanuts, chopped soybeans, minced green onions, minced coriander, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, vinegar, tofu, milk, sesame seeds, etc., and the north is based on sesame paste, and these are minced with leek flowers, bean curd, soy sauce, vinegar, and minced green onion and coriander.

In the south, it is eaten directly in oil, which is called an oil dish, and in the north, it is diluted with some soup when eating, which is called a flavor dish.

The southern hot pot is based on duck intestines, hairy belly and blood, supplemented by various green vegetable balls and meat, and there is no staple food, while the northern hot pot is based on pork, beef and mutton as the main dish, supplemented by green vegetable and miscellaneous balls, with staple food and stir-fried vegetables. The south is spicy, while the north is all light.

Eating in the north pays attention to the combination of staple and non-staple foods, there is no such saying in the south, and there are people who only eat vegetables and do not eat, and you go to a restaurant in the south to ask what the staple food is, and you will generally look at you in great surprise: Do you want to eat pig food? They don't have that name.

Donglaishun is a halal restaurant and has no pork.

At that time, the more famous restaurants in Fengtian were in addition to the old dumplings Li Liangui flatbread, which were Xilaishun, Fumanlou and Donglaishun, among which Xilaishun and Donglaishun were both Muslim halal halls, both originated in the capital, one in Wangfujing, and one in Xidan. Fumanlou is a local hotel in Fengtian, and Da Nan Fumanlou was quite awesome at that time.

Xilaishun can't be seen in Fengtian at this time, the Xidan store in Beijing is still there, and Donglaishun is developing very well. The details of this cannot be known, but there are always business problems, no matter what kind of business, if the customer does not come, it will not be able to continue, and it is useless for your father to be the president of the United Nations.

……

Called the pot, five plates of mutton slices, and then called some green vegetables and radish, and asked for a few hot dishes, grilled beef, lamb and lamb roots, beef tendon and mutton liver, which are all to eat, delicious and tonic.

The eye-catching function of sheep liver is quite powerful.

Before the cup of hot tea was drunk, the dishes came up, the pot was burned, and the seven people took off their coats and stretched out their chopsticks to eat.

The bottom of the pot is small seafood, which is to put some very small crabs, sea rice, clams or something, which cannot be eaten, but just to improve the freshness. Add the bone broth, put the finely chopped sauerkraut after boiling, and burn it directly over charcoal, and the pot will boil quickly. Jujubes, garlic, ginger slices, and green onions are definitely to be put in.

The soup can be eaten with shabu slices as soon as it rolls, the Northeast people do not distinguish between men and women who like meat, for a time only listen to the sound of boiling water scalding on the hot wall of the copper furnace, the steam rises with the smell of charcoal smoke wrapped in fresh fragrance, and the whole body is warm after a few mouthfuls, and sweat stains are seen on the forehead.

Chen Hui helped Chen Xiaosha with a few slices of meat, turned his head and asked Xia Maosheng: "Why do you say that he cut this piece of meat so thinly? This sauerkraut is also finely cut, how much effort does it take?"

Xia Maosheng glanced at Chen Hui with disdain, ignored him, ate his own, and asked Xiaowei: "Why don't you have some liquor?"

Xiaohong said, "Don't you drink anymore, don't you have to go to see the house in a while? ”

Li Na said: "Come, if you want to drink I'll accompany you, I also want to have some, let's drink less, or it's really cold to go out in a while." ”

The two of them asked for a cup, two taels per person, and the old dragon's mouth was drunk, and this wine has been selling very hot in recent years. The old dragon mouth wine is sorghum wine, is my Qing Dynasty tribute wine, originally known as the burning pot, is shochu, because it is brewed in the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, so it is called the dragon's mouth, and the inheritance has been hundreds of years. The liquor in the Northeast is basically the western vein of Jin, and so is Laolongkou.

Sister Jin has an outgoing and hearty personality, but she is too feminine when she eats, she chews a small bite without showing her teeth, and she can bite three or four bites of a piece of meat with a hot slice, and look at the table, even Xiaohong is a big bite.

Sister Jin lowered her head to eat, but kept observing everyone with her eyes, look at this, look at that, look at herself, Li Na said: "Sister Jin always eats like stealing food, it looks too uncomfortable, Sister Jin, can you eat a lot? ”

Sister Jin didn't say anything, just eating and laughing there, and her face didn't know whether it was roasted by the fire or hot, pink and pink.
