Chapter 009 Got the perfect toppings! New side mission!
Huh?
Completed so quickly?
Lin Xu was a little overjoyed and muttered silently:
"Lottery!"
Soon, the exquisite turntable that I saw for the first time appeared in my mind again.
It’s filled with the names of various noodle toppings:
Fried sauce braised, diced eggplant braised, braised beef braised, garlic sprouts and meat sauce braised, mushrooms and chicken braised, minced meat and tofu braised, pickled cabbage and diced pork, braised pepper and preserved egg noodles...
Lin Xu was stunned by the dense number of names.
It would be great if you gave me all this. Even if the store only sells noodles, you can still make crazy money.
The turntable slowly rotated, and the stop button appeared next to it again.
Thanks to the most useful spicy oil he got after praying last time, Lin Xu prayed particularly sincerely this time.
"I hope Dao Zu Hongjun, Death God Asura, Martial God Xu Qian, Gou Sheng Li Changshou, One Piece Luffy, Detective Sherlock Holmes, Detective Conan, Puss in Boots and other big guys will bless me to draw the best toppings, please!" After praying, he solemnly pressed the pause button.
The turntable gradually stopped, and the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host for getting the perfect hand-made noodle topping - eggplant marinade."
Oh my god! Diced eggplant?
Lin Xu was full of surprises.
As a child who grew up in the Central Plains, he has eaten various flavors of hand-made noodles since he was a child, but his favorite topping is marinated diced eggplant.
Fragrant but not greasy pork belly, tender and delicious diced eggplant, rich and fragrant sauce, mixed with the chewy and smooth hand-made noodles.
The taste makes me drool just thinking about it.
But now is not the time to recall this.
Lin Xu put away his thoughts and returned his attention to reality.
The noodles in the pot were already halfway cooked. He grabbed a handful of washed vegetables and threw them into the pot. He stirred them with long chopsticks. When the water in the pot boiled again, he took a colander and started scooping the noodles into the pot. Even though the vegetables are raw right now, the residual heat from the noodles will continue to heat the vegetables while being served to customers.
While waiting for customers to eat, the green vegetables were just cut off.
Take one bite, it's crispy, tender and delicious, with a freshness, not to mention how delicious it is.
While he was busy, Panda, wearing a Kung Fu Panda suit, walked into the store.
The noodles he had eaten at noon were enough to make him feel unhappy even now.
Seeing him come in, Lin Xu quickly thanked:
"Brother Pan, thank you for helping me find a cold drink supplier. How many bowls will you eat today? I'll pay."
Panda waved his hand:
"No, no, I just made a phone call. Ouhua is very reliable. You can rest assured to cooperate with him."
After saying that, he bypassed the people in line and took out a bottle of Arctic Ocean from the soda fountain at the cashier.
After opening it with the screwdriver hanging on the door handle of the cold drink cabinet, he drank half the bottle and then said to Lin Xu:
"Bring me a small bowl of tomato and egg noodles, and put some noodle soup in it. I ate too much in the morning, and I really have no appetite at night, so I can only make do with some soup."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, pointed at the payment code on the cashier and paid 30 yuan.
Beibingyang is 5 yuan, small bowl of noodles is 25, and the total is exactly 30.
Lin Xu agreed and asked Panda to find a seat and sit first.
Not long after, the noodles in the pot were cooked. Put the noodles into the bowl one by one, and then started to put the toppings into the bowl with a spoon.
When it was Panda's turn for the bowl, he deliberately poured a little more soup into the toppings, scooped in half a spoonful of the noodle soup, and poured in half a tablespoon of chicken fat.
Stir it a little with chopsticks, and the unique aroma of chicken fat will come out.
At this time, Panda had just found his seat with the remaining half bottle of Arctic Ocean.
After sitting down sadly, he weakly asked Lin Xu:
"I have eaten tomato and eggs three times since yesterday. When will the new flavor be available, boss?"
Lin Xu walked out of the kitchen holding noodles:
"Tomorrow, tomorrow there will be a new noodle stew in the store."
Panda was immediately interested:
"Meat or vegetarian?"
"Meat."
As soon as he heard it was meaty, Brother Panda's face suddenly showed an expression of surprise:
"Then I'll probably have three more bowls tomorrow! I'm a meat-loving person. I've already eaten several meals of tomatoes and eggs, so I should eat some meat to replenish my body."
Lin Xu: "..."
Brother, you still need supplements for your size. If you supplement again, you will really become a Panda.
He handed the bowl over.
Panda was originally looking forward to tomorrow's lunch at noon, and didn't care about the bowl of noodles at all.
But when the alluring fragrance penetrated into his nostrils, his eyes suddenly straightened:
"Shouldn't the taste be lighter after adding the soup? Why is the fresh flavor still so strong?"
He picked up the bowl and took a small sip of the soup. The unique aroma of chicken was indeed stronger, and even the soup in the bowl tasted like chicken soup.
"Wow, this soup is so delicious, isn't it?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"I've processed it a little for you. You can eat it, but it's still not enough."
Panda thanked him, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
The depressed state just now has completely disappeared, and the king of rice at noon is back again.
Lin Xu didn't bother him, and turned back to the kitchen to work.
Not long after, Panda ate all the noodles and soup in the bowl. After eating, he said to Lin Xu:
"Bring me another small bowl with more soup. The addition of soup by you has restored my appetite."
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man waiting to eat noodles at the door of the kitchen asked curiously:
"Can we add soup? Can you add some soup for me? My stomach is not good, so I have to eat things with soup as much as possible."
Lin Xu said:
"No problem, who wants to eat with soup? Let me tell you. I'll make it thinner for you when I serve it."
It’s the height of summer, and although some people eat noodle soup, most people still eat noodles. Many young people even specifically ask for cold water.
Lin Xu continued to make noodles. In order to prevent the taste from being too bland, he added half a spoonful of chicken fat to each bowl.
It didn’t take long for the customers who were eating noodle soup to praise:
"Wow, it tastes so delicious."
"It's like eating chicken noodle soup."
“The boss’s craftsmanship is truly unparalleled.”
"If I had known better, I would have asked the boss to put in more soup. It is really comfortable to drink it hot."
"..."
Lin Xu listened to everyone's words and thought that when he went shopping tomorrow morning, he could buy some chicken racks and old hens and make some old chicken soup.
In this way, if there are customers eating noodles, you can add a spoonful of chicken soup to make it a real chicken noodle soup.
In addition to chicken soup, you also need to boil some pork bone stock.
Because you need to add broth when making diced eggplants, the eggplants made in this way will be softer, more tender and fragrant, and taste more delicious.
It was already busy enough just preparing the noodles, but now I have to make chicken stock.
One person is really hard-working. If there are a few helpers, the store's turnover may double.
"But how do you find the right person?"
Just when he thought of this, Lin Xu suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind:
"The host recognizes the shortcomings of the store's operation and triggers the side task [Recruiting]: The host is asked to recruit more than five employees who are in line with Lin Ji's food values within a week. After completion, the host will be rewarded with a drawing of excellent cold salad dishes."
After listening, a series of question marks flashed through Lin Xu's mind.
What do the values of Linji Food mean?
I, the boss of Linji Food, don’t understand very well!
