Chapter 50: Attracted Diners
The aroma of roasted eggplant and roast lamb are obviously different.
Not only are the ingredients different, but the various seasonings used are also very different, and if the roast lamb is fragrant enough, chili powder and cumin powder play a major role.
But the aroma of roasted eggplant ...... It mainly comes from garlic, onions, shallots, green and red peppers, etc.
Therefore, when the aroma of roasted eggplant here became stronger and stronger, many nearby stall owners and diners noticed it.
Because this piece sells barbecue, this special aroma has never appeared before.
And, as we all know, garlic is appetizing.
When a large amount of minced garlic is heated, it will also emit a particularly strong aroma, which will not only make the person who smells it hungry, but also feel hungry.
The bald head not far away was attracted by this strange aroma.
His booth was only about four or five meters away from Xu Tongdao's stall.
This distance allowed him to see the colorful ingredients on the roasted eggplant in front of Xu Tongdao, although he couldn't see it very clearly, but there were yellow, red, and green, and he could still see it.
Coupled with the rich aroma wafting in the wind, the bald head couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He started barbecuing halfway through his home, and he didn't know much about food, otherwise he would have known that a dish can arouse people's appetite in five aspects.
Color, fragrance, shape and quality......
Three of them, without tasting, just by looking at them, can arouse the appetite of most people.
It is the three points of color, fragrance and shape.
As the old saying goes: you don't get tired of eating, you don't get tired of fine, and the main thing is the color and shape of food.
The general idea is that when it comes to eating, the more elaborate, the better.
Because it is fine enough, the food can arouse people's appetite in terms of color matching, and because it is fine enough, the presentation and shape of the food will be beautiful enough, and beautiful food can also arouse people's appetite.
Roasted eggplant, in terms of color matching, food aroma, and shape, can almost be said to be an outstanding representative of barbecue.
Purple eggplant skin, white eggplant flesh, orange-yellow garlic, white purple onion, green and red chili peppers, and green onions are not only colorful but also slightly shimmering under the clear and translucent scallion oil......
"The ...... of the Mahlergobi"
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the bald head couldn't help muttering in a low voice, his brows furrowed slightly, at this time, he already faintly felt that the kid next to him seemed to be a little doorway, roasting an eggplant...... There are so many tricks that can be baked.
Fortunately, the kid is young, and no one has gone to his place to order something to eat......
As soon as this thought flashed in the bald head's heart, a big man at a table behind him suddenly stood up, strode to Xu Tongdao's side with a curious face, carefully looked at the roasted eggplant on the barbecue net, pursed his lips while looking at it, swallowed his saliva, and laughed twice and asked: "Hey, little brother, what are you roasting? It looks delicious! How do you sell it? Is it delicious?"
Seeing this scene and hearing this person's question, Xu Tonglin, who was bald and beside Xu Tongdao at that time, felt a sigh in his heart at the same time.
The bald man's face became a little ugly, because the big man was originally a guest on his side.
And what Xu Tonglin thought was: No, right? I've been waiting for a long time, and I haven't tasted it yet! This guy won't want to buy it, right?
Xu Tongdao raised his eyes and glanced at the big man, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "It's roasted eggplant! I'm also doing the test for the first time, you wait for me to try it!"
As he spoke, he took a bamboo skewer and pricked it on the roasted eggplant, and then tasted the soup on the bamboo skewer, feeling that the salty and fresh flavors were okay, so he nodded slightly.
As soon as he looked up and saw the big man looking at him curiously, Xu Tongdao chuckled, pricked the eggplant with the other end of the bamboo stick, and then handed the bamboo stick to the big man, "Come on, big brother, try it!"
Dahan laughed, took the bamboo skewer with curiosity and expectation, tasted the taste on the bamboo skewer, and then his eyes lit up.
He immediately asked, "Well, yes, it's fragrant, fragrant, how do you sell it?" Hurry up and get me a copy!"
The smile on Xu Tongdao's face became a little thicker, "Two yuan a piece, big brother, are you sure you want it?"
"Two pieces, so expensive, you are the price of eggplant sold for meat!"
Dahan was surprised by the price, and asked, "By the way, are you all mine?"
The reason why he asked this was because the eggplant in front of Xu Tongdao was an eggplant cut in half and roasted, because a large amount of minced garlic was added, it seemed that it was two servings, and it was possible.
Xu Tongdao is not too greedy, an eggplant is sold for two yuan, it is already okay, and you can't be too greedy to do business, anyway, the cost is not high.
"These two are one copy!"
Before he finished speaking, the big man immediately took out the money from his body, and while taking out the money, he said: "That's okay! Then sell me this one! I'll give you money! Hurry up and get a lunch box for me! Hurry up!"
"Okay, big brother!"
Xu Tongdao smiled, took a disposable foam lunch box, put all the eggplants on the barbecue net into it, and when he took the money, he handed the lunch box to the big man.
When he handed over the money, Xu Tongdao was very happy, and Dahan was also very happy.
But Xu Tonglin, who was sitting next to Xu Tongdao, had a bitter face, he waited for a long time, but he still hadn't tasted it!
So as soon as the big man left, Xu Tonglin whispered: "Xiaodao, do you want to do another experiment?
Xu Tongdao turned his face to glance at him and nodded slightly, "Okay!"
He agreed to be so happy, mainly because he felt that the effect of roasted eggplant was very good, and the aroma and color could attract customers.
When he saw the big man returning to the table on the side of his stall with the roasted eggplant he had just bought, and warmly beckoned the men and two women at the same table to try it, the bald man's face became very ugly.
Although the guests who usually eat here will go to other stalls nearby from time to time to buy food and bring it over, they usually buy other things and will not buy barbecue from other stalls to eat here.
Isn't that a slap in the face?
But he can't offend the diner, and if he offends once, it will be impossible for people to come to him to eat again in the future, and maybe he will ruin his reputation outside.
So although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to send it to the guests behind him.
He wanted to get angry at the kid who roasted the eggplant, but he couldn't find a reason for a while, after all, it was the customer on his side who took the initiative to buy it at someone's stall, not the kid who took the initiative to come to his side to recommend it to his guests.
"Malegobi's!"
The bald head squeezed out two swear words from between his teeth with a black face, venting the anger in his heart.
He thought it was his most embarrassing moment of the night, but it soon turned out that he was naïve, this was not the end, it was just the beginning!
