At this time, Fat Heart Restaurant opened on time. As soon as he opened the door, the waiter noticed the note on the door button and the crowd of neighbors watching the fun outside. He hurriedly went to the back hall to inform the three shopkeepers. Zhao Kui smiled and said to
The waiter gave a few instructions in a low voice and walked to the back kitchen with his waist bent. After a while, a strong aroma of meat floated to the door. It turned out that the shopkeeper's order was to let him go to the back kitchen to open the lid of the pot and cook the food.
Increase the heat and let the aroma of lamb and scorpions emerge. Mutton originally has a fishy smell, but this sheep is a wether from Beikou. It has been cooked overnight with a variety of spices and galangal, and the smell of mutton is mixed with various aromas.
After mixing and diluting, it became a fragrance of earth and grassland. The guests took a few deep breaths and felt as if they were on a grassland full of flowers, with a group of enthusiastic and generous herdsmen surrounding them, singing and dancing.
After a while, the waiter set off two long strings of firecrackers at the door. It had just opened a few days ago, so it couldn't be the second celebration. Could it be that it was to welcome some distinguished guests? It was dinner time, and many guests entered the center of the building.
The waiter was still looking at the door. Finally, two fat shopkeepers came. The waiter ran inside and reported: "Three shopkeepers, the distinguished guests have arrived."
Zhao Kui waited at the door and ordered the firecrackers to be set off. A burst of explosions shocked the two shopkeepers. He pointed to his nose and said, "Are these firecrackers to welcome us?"
"Yes, thank you for writing the inscription for us, so that we can be known to everyone in Pantan." After saying that, Zhao Kui ordered the inscription to be hung on the wall of the door, and wrote: In the past, the wind and snow were crazy, and I slept under the quilt every day.
After having hot pot, my body and mind warmed up. They asked Xu Lanyang from Tongjiang Academy to write this and framed it. They said to them: "Today's guests at your table are free of charge in our restaurant. Please
.”
After saying that, they were welcomed to the private dining room. They only had a few limericks and no literary talent. It was hard to enter an elegant hall, but they were treated with such courtesy. The two shopkeepers were overjoyed and said: "In the future, I will bring guests to your place."
Zhao Kui had studied at Tongjiang Academy for several years and knew what Daya's poetry was about. It was so elegant that the diners here had no idea what the poem meant after reading it. The one with the greatest publicity effect was only
Those catchy poems, nursery rhymes, folk songs, etc. that are full of market atmosphere, this poem just has such a message.
A group of children were grabbing unlit firecrackers on the ground. Zhao Kui ordered the waiter to call them up and said: "Whoever can recite this poem and sing it on the street, I will give you a ginger candy."
As soon as they heard that there were sweets to eat, the children cheered and swarmed up. Zhao Kui sang it again with the simplest rhythm. The children learned and said to him: "I know it, I know it, give me one."
Soon, Pantan Street was filled with the sound of this children's song.
Beef is banned, what kind of hot pot can you order today? After the guests entered the venue, they took a look and saw that there was a steaming hot pot bottom on each table. Ten of the tables were obviously different from yesterday, and one was dug out in the middle.
The hot pot is placed in the hole, which is much lower than the original one. It is easier to pick it up with chopsticks. What is cooked in the pot is a piece of bone with a three-pronged cross section, which is shaped like a scorpion with two large pincers spread out. This
It is the backbone of the sheep cut into pieces, with some meat and some bone marrow. He also put a menu on each table and said to everyone: "Because beef is banned by the government, new dishes are not available, so today we can only eat sheep and scorpions."
Yes, you can order your own side dishes."
There is nothing more delicious than meat off the bone. They say that the bones are broken to absorb the marrow, not to mention the deliciousness of the bone marrow. The bones had been stewed with spices all night and had become crispy. When several shopkeepers saw it, they couldn't help it. The waiters dug the bones specially
The meat was served on a small spoon with a pointed tip and a hollow wheat straw for sucking the marrow. They thought it was not enough to eat like this, so they scooped it into a bowl with a spoon. After blowing it to cool down, they took it in their hands and gnawed it without caring about the image.
While praising it repeatedly, he said: "This meat must be eaten like this to make it enjoyable."
Most of the diners in the dining room were well-known people on Pantan Street. Seeing them eating like this made me a little disgusted and a little envious. It was the first time to use the tools, and they were not very smooth. After a while, I simply put them down.
He picked up the tools in his hands and gnawed them. It's no wonder that the businessman's social status is not high, and he is rarely a scholar, so he has a wild nature in his body.
After the meat was finished and the marrow was sucked out, the guests put the tofu and noodles into the pot. Before long, they were eating all the soup and noodles, and even asked for more soup. There are eight large bowls of soup in a hot pot, one bowl for an average person.
I couldn’t eat it either. Hot pot usually only serves four people. Is it possible to have two bowls per person without worrying about getting bloated? The three shopkeepers’ eyes widened.
Finally, it was time to pay the bill. When the first customer heard this, he was surprised and said: "It's so cheap, only 700 yuan?"
Really cheap and good quality. The four of them discussed it in the corner and said, "Save a table for me and we'll come back for dinner."
Addicted to the emotional food. Seeing that the guests in the booth were about to finish their meals, Zhao Hui nodded to the waiter. The waiter understood and gave each table a small hot pot with mutton slices on the side. Zhao Hui went in.
He said: "Dear guests, this is a new product that our restaurant will soon launch. Please give it a try. How does this hot pot taste?"
I saw that the mutton was cut as thin as paper, as uniform as crystals, as neat as lines, and as beautiful as flowers. Without tasting the taste, just looking at the knife skills, I was amazed.
This mutton hotpot is the result of painstaking research by three shopkeepers based on the classification of beef hotpot. However, the size of the lamb calf is not enough after subdividing it. It took a whole day to make only a few small portions.
"Folding red plums and mutton hotpot"
Yun Yang comes to Beikou, the meat is good and the male is the best, and there is no smell after castration.
The snow is frozen, the edges of the meat are peeled off, and the brittle bones and fascia are peeled off.
Squeeze out the blood and cut it into pieces, and the pieces will be crystal clear.
The fish and mutton are fresh, add galangal to remove the fishy smell, add crucian carp to the mutton bones, and simmer in the base soup.
Just one night.
There are also dried shrimps to add color and flavor.
The charcoal is red, the water turns into chrysanthemums, and the meat slices are scattered in the soup.
Eat as you like.
I am a god on earth.
To relieve your tiredness after eating, cabbage vermicelli, sauerkraut and frozen tofu, and spinach are the freshest.
While the guest was tasting the food carefully, Tang Xiaoer tugged on Zhao Kui's clothes, as if he wanted to tell him something. Seeing this, he pulled Tang Xiaoer aside and asked him about the situation. He replied: "My expression
Brother, the man who changed the table for us said that he has a way to quickly cut the mutton into thin slices. If he can do it, can the shopkeeper give him a hot pot to try, so that he can brag about it in the village."
Slicing mutton thinly seems to be a simple task, but in fact it is extremely difficult. Yesterday, the three of them worked for a long time and only managed to make a little bit, which was not enough to make hot pot. You must know that the three shopkeepers are all famous chefs, and he is a carpenter.
Is there such a level? Zhao Kui couldn't help but be very curious and said: "If there is really a way to solve this problem, not just one hot pot, but ten hot pots will do."
