Chapter 111: The eyes of the masses are bright
After a plate of Chen Ji Kung Pao Chicken with fairy chicken breast as the main ingredient was freshly baked, Chen Kai found that his small open-air stove had actually become the focus.
When he was engrossed in cooking just now, Chen Kai's eyes only had the pot and stove board, the main materials and auxiliary materials, and everything around him was blurry in Chen Kai's eyes.
But now that the food is out of the pot, Chen Kai stopped and was almost startled.
More than 20 people directly surrounded their platform.
Everyone had an incredible expression on their faces.
There are old people who come out for a walk, housewives who hold children, aunts who carry vegetable baskets, and more people who hold Messi coupons in their hands.
All the eyes of these people now are focused on the plate of Chen Ji Kung Pao Chicken on Chen Kai's desk.
The chubby regular customer who had originally ordered finally eased up and swallowed his saliva.
Chen Kai picked up the plate and handed it to the regular customer with both hands.
"Please come in and try it, this is the first limited dish of the day, you can eat it while it's hot. ”
The chubby man's hands trembled a little, and slowly took his dish.
The crowd that had been gathered around the stove began to gather around the diner.
This kung pao chicken, garlic white meat, golden pepper and green onion, under a layer of faint thickening luster, looks like all colors are blended and colorful.
The aroma of the chicken breast after it is fried is like a small whirlwind, constantly washing the sense of smell of the layers of people outside the store with the flow of air.
Coupled with the perfect combination of fairy seasonings, the fresh, salty, sweet and sour flavor of spicy lychee comes to the face, and even the diners standing in line in front of Mai Xilai can't help but twitch their noses.
The chubby man stared at this dish, slowly grinned, and laughed: "Boss Chen, just rush at your craftsmanship and the effect of this dish, this fifty yuan is worth it!"
After speaking, he laughed heartily, turned around and walked into the Heli fast food restaurant.
Huhula, the crowd of onlookers also followed the devil and poured into the store with this fat big brother.
There were about 100 people queuing up at the door of Mai Xilai, and they couldn't help but talk about it when they saw the surging crowd of people on Heli Fast Food.
"What kind of dish was that just now, I smell sweet and sour and spicy, how can I smell it from such a distance?"
"Didn't you hear what the chef just said? It's a limited edition dish in their store, Kung Pao Chicken. ”
"All of a sudden, I really wanted to eat Chinese food. ”
"Isn't it a gimmick to sell it for fifty yuan a piece? ”
"But you see that the two dozen or so people are all around it, and it seems that they are all lining up here. ”
"Why don't we go and check it out, this coupon doesn't expire, if it's not delicious, we'll come back." ”
In the middle of a few words, more than a dozen guests who were queuing in front of Mai Xilai could not resist the fragrance of Kung Pao chicken overflowing in the air and their own curiosity, and left Mai Xilai's line.
In the spirit of watching the excitement and not thinking of a big deal, these people walked into the Heli fast food restaurant curiously.
Wu Tao, the deputy manager of the marketing department of Mai Xilai, stood next to him, and when he saw that the people in his team actually began to walk out, his face changed, and his expression was full of resentment when he looked at Chen Kai.
Originally, there were a lot of loyal fans in the Heli fast food restaurant, but yesterday because Chen Kai was not there, only some guests who like to eat barbecue patronized, and the customer flow seemed relatively light.
Today, many people who are interested in Chen Kai's craftsmanship have also come to the gate of Heli early, and they happened to see the process of Chen Kai's live stir-frying.
Although there may not be so many people who choose a limited edition dish of 50 yuan each, the sense of anticipation for food has deepened.
Chen Kai also followed the guests into the store, and saw a table surrounded by groups, and sure enough, it was the fat big brother who ordered Chen Ji Kung Pao Chicken.
The eldest brother didn't seem to care about being watched by the onlookers when eating, and his whole mind was on the food in front of him.
"Come on, let's go. A warbler-like roar.
Zhou Yuting squeezed through the crowd of onlookers with two large bowls of rice and put the rice on the table.
Chen Kai also took the opportunity to get closer and looked at the desktop.
The fat big brother picked up the small spoon next to him, his nose twitched, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and he gently scooped up a spoonful of fragrant diced chicken and peanuts.
Without the slightest hesitation, he put it in his mouth and chewed.
"So tender!" the fat brother exclaimed, his eyes lit up.
There was a young man next to him who was slightly chubby and looked like a foodie, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, what does it taste like?"
The fat big brother let out a sigh of relief, and said to the young man:
"Let me tell you, this is definitely the best kung pao chicken I've ever tasted! This chicken is definitely freshly slaughtered, with a springy texture and tender and smooth after oil.
I see that the aroma of this chicken is not good when you stand next to it, hahaha, Boss Chen's paste and spicy flavor is really amazing, and the fried peanuts are also just right, crunchy!"
Just as Chen Kai was standing next to him and listening carefully, suddenly Zhou Yuting shouted in her sweet voice next to him:
"Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to the limited edition dishes today, the home-cooked food prepared by our boss is on the menu, and you are welcome to order.
If you want to taste the craftsmanship of our store immediately, you can go to the warming station, where there are good dishes that are just out of the pot and eaten to order!"
Chen Kai was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, and gave Zhou Yuting a thumbs up, this girl is so smart that she snatched all the lines she was ready to shout.
The crowd in the store reacted.
"Aren't we going to have lunch?"
"This craft is so good, just try it. ”
"The food at the warming table over there seems to be very good. ”
"Boss, bring me a copy of that limited edition Kung Pao Chicken!"
"Sit down, there will be no place for you. ”
Everyone seems to have suddenly found their goal, ordering orders, serving dishes, and the tables and chairs in the store are instantly filled.
Li Feifei saw that the business was coming, took the ordering book and began to order one by one, and got busy.
Zhou Yuting also stood in front of the insulation table and began to cook.
Five or six guests directly surrounded Chen Kai and asked for limited dishes, Chen Kai nodded with a smile and walked out of the store again.
The queue of diners of Heli Fast Food has also become larger, and there are already more than 20 customers attracted by Kung Pao Chicken, and the rest of the people can only queue up if they want to order.
Chen Kai stood in front of the small open-air stove outside, witnessing the fast food team of Heli leaving the door of the store within a few minutes, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, the eyes of the masses are bright.
Outside, there is a steady stream of "new forces" who come to eat, and next to it there are "defectors" who are attracted by the line of Messi because of curiosity and the smell of the food in the store. ”
The door of Heli Fast Food is like magic, attracting the popularity of the community gate.
Chen Kai showed his skills in the open-air small stove, and the kung pao chicken in the pot was full of fragrance, and people constantly came to watch.
The irresistible aroma of food at the door is like the strongest advertisement, and customers are flocking to it.
Under the sun and in the breeze, Chen Kai wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck after stir-frying two servings of the limited-edition Chen Ji Kung Pao Chicken.
Occasionally, I come to such an open-air operation, and I feel that the mood of stir-frying is also much broader.
When I looked up, there was no queue in front of the gate next door to Messi.
On the contrary, two or three clerks in uniforms and hats stood in front of the gate with a stack of leaflets in their hands, shouting:
"Guests who are present today can receive a cup of chicken rice for free, and guests who spend more than 20 yuan with coupons can receive free coke!"
A few young clerks shouted at the top of their throats, but few responded, and most of them were attracted by the crowd on the Heli fast food side.
There are also many people who are standing next to Chen Kai with great interest, waiting for Chen Kai's "live performance".
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from the side.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you notify me in advance when you develop a new dish!"
