Chapter 40: A Taste of Pasta (I)
The lobby of the Orchid Hotel is about 6 to 700 square meters, and one of the three is used as a place to welcome guests and a check-in counter, and the other two-thirds is a simple restaurant. When he came, Nian Bing took a look, the decoration in the restaurant can only be described as miserable, the long wooden tables have already been exposed to the true color of wood, the benches seem to be able to break off a few legs at any time, the surrounding walls are even more dilapidated, even the wall skin is not finished, can such a place be called a restaurant? If it weren't for the fact that the guest rooms were clean and the price was not expensive, Nian Bing would never choose to live here, but the situation in front of him made him a little unable to believe his eyes. In the evening, there was already a long queue at the door of the restaurant, and the restaurant was already full of people, and at least a dozen waiters were busy shuttling back and forth, full of lively scenes.
There are so many customers in such a shabby place, and some of them still look gorgeously dressed, which only proves that the know-how of this shabby restaurant must be inseparable from eating.
What kind of delicacy can attract so many customers? Nian Bing suddenly became curious, walked to the counter in the lobby and asked the waiter behind the counter: "Why are there so many customers in your restaurant? Is there anything good to eat here?"
The waiter looked at Nian Bing's handsome face, and couldn't help but blush on his face, and said proudly: "Sir, you must be from a foreign country." In our Binglan City, the grilled chicken wings of our Orchid Hotel and the staring food of the staring restaurant in the south of the city are listed as the two famous foods of Binglan, and I don't know how many people come here to eat our Orchid chicken wings. ”
"Oh?" the waiter's words aroused Nian Bing's interest, there are such delicious chicken wings, I want to try them today. Thinking about this, he was not in a hurry, and quickly ran to the long queue outside the restaurant, and waited patiently.
Out of the lobby, although he was at the back of the line, Nian Bing only needed to turn to one side to see the scene in front of the restaurant, and the chicken wings were ready to be grilled. The aroma of barbecue kept coming, and through observation, he found that the roasted chicken wings here did not have the wing roots at the back and the wing tips in front, only the best wings, which were used as raw materials, no wonder they could be famous in Binglan City. There are two chefs in charge of the barbecue, and they move very quickly, constantly flipping the wings on the grill, and each skewer worn with bamboo skewers has one or two wings, and each skewer is two bamboo skewers. This allows the chicken wings to sit smoothly on the stove when roasted, and from their flipping technique, Nian Bing didn't find anything special. He didn't believe that the grilled chicken wings that could attract so many guests were all there was and were still patiently observing.
Eventually, Nian Bing discovered the mystery of this orchid chicken wings in careful observation, that is, the sauce, whenever the chicken wings are almost cooked, the two chefs will pick up the chicken wings from the charcoal stove, brush a layer of sauce on the back of the stove, and when the chicken wings are re-roasted, they will exude a sweet smell, and the color of the chicken wings themselves will also change from the original golden yellow to brown, and it will be finished after a little baking.
That's right, the secret must be in the sauce. This kind of sauce must be blended through a special process, seeing this, Nian Bingxian has strengthened his determination to taste it, and he is not in a hurry, so he waits patiently in line.
It takes time to roast chicken wings, and when Nian Bing started to line up, the sky was still a little sunset, but when it was his turn, the sky was already completely dark, and when he looked back at the still long queue behind him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really good to do business to the point where it was down.
"Sir, what kind of chicken wings do you want, how many skewers do you want, do you want to eat them here or take them away?" said the waiter in charge of collecting the money politely to Nian Bing.
After coming back to his senses, Nian Bing said: "How many kinds of chicken wings do you have here, I want a bunch of each, just eat them here." ”
The waiter said, "Okay, there are four kinds of chicken wings, which are divided into plain, slightly spicy, single-sided spicy and double-sided spicy. ”
Nian Bing smiled: "Of course." I'm also here to taste each of them, how much does it cost?"
The waiter glanced at Nian Bing with a strange look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Our Lanxin restaurant has a rule, as long as you buy chicken wings, you must finish eating, especially if you eat in this restaurant." ”
Nian Bing nodded and said, "Okay, please hurry up, how much?"
The waiter said: "The chicken wings are all three copper coins in a string, and the four strings are a total of one silver coin and two copper coins, and now there is no place to sit in it, so you can wait here for a while." ”
Nian Bing paid the money and stood aside and waited, and since he came to the front, this time he could see the appearance of the sauce, in a barrel-shaped spice box, with a thick dark brown juice, the chef used a brush to brush the juice on the chicken wings that were about to be baked.
Smelling the somewhat weird sweet aroma, Nian Bing kept guessing the real ingredients in the seasoning, but he was never able to make a definite judgment, it seemed that he really had to eat it in his mouth to be confirmed.
Finally, the four strings of chicken wings belonging to Nian Bing were ready, and when the chicken wings were handed to Nian Bing, he was stunned, and at this time he fully understood what was single-sided spicy and what was double-sided spicy. The original chicken wings are the finished product after the brush sauce is roasted, slightly spicy refers to sprinkling a small amount of chili foam on the basis of the original flavor, and the single-sided spicy is already very scary, the whole side of the chicken wings is completely covered by chili peppers, as for the double-sided spicy, Nian Bing clearly saw that when the chicken wings were roasted, the chef put the whole string of chicken wings in the bag containing the chili peppers and turned around, with the stickiness of the sauce on the chicken wings, almost every part of the chicken wings was completely covered by chili peppers, oh my God!
Looking at Nian Bing's puzzled eyes, the waiter smiled, "Sir, there is no place in it now, please stand and eat first, we have a rule here, if you can completely eat a bunch of double-sided spicy chicken wings, we will give another bunch." ”
Nian Bing looked at the chicken wings in his hand, first took out the original flavor and took a bite, and suddenly, a thick sweet aroma filled his taste sense, it was indeed delicious, but while admiring, Nian Bing also found the weakness of this chicken wing. Soon, a string of original chicken wings can make Nian Bing eat so quickly, and this chicken wing naturally has his uniqueness.
When the string of chicken wings was finished, Nian Bing finally determined the composition of the sauce, no wonder it was so sweet, it turned out that there were at least six herbs in the sauce. Moreover, each herb is complementary to each other. Not only is it good for the taste improvement, but it also has a good warming effect on the human body, and it really has characteristics.
Smiling slightly, Nian Bing picked up the slightly spicy chicken wings and began to eat them, with a slight spicy taste in the sweet fragrance, and he was addicted to eating them. No wonder the waiter just introduced this one, the taste is indeed delicious! If there is no problem with the chef's craftsmanship, it should be able to go to the next level.
Finally, he picked up the one-sided spicy spicy, and suddenly felt a little terrifying, and tentatively took a small bite first. There was no special feeling in the mouth at first, not even as strong as the slightly spicy spicy string just now, but at the moment when he was surprised. The smell of chili peppers was like a flame erupting, and he suddenly opened his mouth wide, as if his mouth could breathe fire, and Nian Bing gasped, oh my God! Is this something that people eat?
"Water. Water ......" Nian Bing shouted loudly, and the kind waiter forced a smile and poured him a cup of tea.
Sweat flowed down the corners of his forehead, this sweat in Nian Bing's heart! It was just a small mouthful, which was already about to make his snot and tears flow together, and he immediately judged that this crazy chili pepper was absolutely different from the previous slightly spicy chicken wings, it was a very special chili pepper, it was undeniable, it was indeed very fragrant, but the degree of spiciness, Nian Bing had never heard of it, oh my God! He seemed to have felt his lips start to swell a little by now, was this a delicacy or a poison?
A cup of tea went down to his stomach, Nian Bing's stomach began to burn, and he was not to be left behind, the power of the chili pepper was indeed extraordinary, looking at the remaining chicken wings in his hand, he really didn't have the courage to take a second bite of his brother, not to mention the spicy double-sided. Tentatively, he said to the waiter, "I'm sorry, I can't eat anymore." ”
The waiter smiled slightly and said, "I was joking with you just now, there is a seat over there, do you want to have a few more strings of chicken wings?" ”
Nian Bing breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in a position by the window under the leadership of the waiter, and said, "Then you can bring me a few more strings of original flavors." Through the tasting of chicken wings, he has a good impression of this orchid chicken wing shop, not for anything else, just those six herbs, although the value is not very high, but it greatly increases the cost of grilled chicken wings, and the profit is much smaller than ordinary grilled chicken wings.
The power of the chili pepper gradually eased down, Nian Bing really wanted to try the taste of the double-sided spicy chicken wings, but he really couldn't muster the courage, at this time, it was the turn of two girls to buy chicken wings, and one of the girls said: "I heard that you have the best chicken wings for sale here, give me the best strings." ”
As soon as these words came out, both inside and outside the restaurant fell into complete silence, and everyone looked at the two ordinary-looking girls with monster-like eyes.
"What are you seeing? Isn't there a superb? We have both loved chili peppers since we were children, and this time we came to taste them. ”
The waiter didn't say anything, nodded to the cook, and in a few moments, ten strings of chicken wings reached the hands of two girls.
Holding the chicken wings, the two girls were completely stunned, and one of them said stupidly: "This, where are these chicken wings?" The so-called best is the double-sided spicy chicken wings! The chicken wings are completely covered with chili peppers, and the existence of chicken wings is really not visible from the outside.
The waiter smiled and said, "The chicken wings are inside the chili pepper, and the chili pepper is dipped in the sauce when it is thick, this is the best you want! ”
The girl on the left gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe this can be so spicy." As he spoke, he took a big bite on the chicken wings very proudly.
Nian Bing's eyes widened and he looked at the girl, he really admired the girl's courage.
What is the consequence of eating a big mouthful of the best chicken wings, and soon Nian Bing saw it, the girl cried, not sad crying, tears and snot flowed uncontrollably, her mouth was wide open, and she kept exhaling outward, she couldn't even say a word, Nian Bing clearly saw that her tongue seemed to be a little swollen, and he really had some doubts that this girl would spew flames.
Shaking his head amusedly, Nian Bing knew that he should leave, he had completely figured out the mystery of this chicken wing, but before leaving, he wanted to do something for this restaurant. Walking up to the girl who couldn't stand the spicy, a piece of ice condensed in her right hand and stuffed it into her mouth, "This should be better, don't be so impulsive in the future, the chili pepper here is indeed very powerful." ”
The waitress looked at Nian Bing in surprise, she really couldn't understand how the ice came from. Nian Bing smiled, "Can you let me bake a few skewers of chicken wings myself to eat, I'm willing to pay double the price." ”
As soon as he heard this, the waiter's face suddenly showed a look of vigilance, shook his head, and said, "I'm sorry, but the sauce for grilled chicken wings in our store is secret, so outsiders can't approach it." ”
Nian Bing interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, I don't need your sauce." As he spoke, he walked over to the two cooks and picked up five strings of raw chicken wings and placed them on top of the charcoal fire.
The chef who was close to Nian Bing frowned, "What are you doing?"
A gentle smile appeared in Nian Bing's eyes, and he said, "I want you to know how to make better chicken wings." ”
The chef laughed, "Joke, the chicken wings in our Lanxin restaurant are famous all over the world, and have the reputation of being the first chicken wings in the world, do you need to teach them?"
Nian Bing said indifferently: "Yelang will make your senses regress, although the chili pepper is the best, it masks the taste of the chicken wings themselves." Since you think you're the best in the world, why don't you let me give it a try? And the judges are the guests here, if you lose, I don't want anything, if I lose, I'm willing to pay the price of a purple gold coin, how about it?"
The cook said angrily, "Are you here to find fault?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said, "No, I said, I'm here to teach you how to bake chicken wings." Looking at the chicken wings roasted by the chef on the charcoal stove, he smiled indifferently and said, "The chicken wings are not roasted like this, look carefully, I will only make them once." ”
