Seeing that no one dared to hold out their chopsticks, Comrade Xu smiled slightly.
He didn't name anyone to try first. He picked up the chopsticks, picked a few pieces and stuffed them into his mouth. He chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed them, and then stretched out his chopsticks to pick them up.
In fact, he had already tasted today's plate of cold mutton in the kitchen, and there was certainly progress, otherwise he wouldn't have asked everyone to help him taste it again.
Ge Lianghua, Xu Tonglin, Huang Mei, Cao Min, Fang Fang...
The five of them saw that Xu Tongdao was eating quite naturally and did not feel like vomiting at all, and all of them were a little curious. Except for the yellow plums that he vomited last time, the others were a little eager to try it.
After all, after all, Xu Tongdao is also the boss of their store. The boss himself has eaten all the new dishes developed by the boss. If they don't even use their chopsticks, it would be a disgrace to the boss.
"Is it tasty?"
Ge Lianghua asked Comrade Xu out of curiosity.
"Let me try..." Xu Tonglin stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a thin slice of mutton and put it into his mouth without waiting for Xu Tongdao to answer.
At this time, Ge Lianghua and others' eyes turned to his face to see his reaction.
Death from poison is impossible.
But will he vomit?
Xu Tonglin chewed slowly at first, but after chewing a few times, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Hey, this tastes good! Well, it's really good, really!"
As he said this, before Ge Lianghua and others could react, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks and picked up several pieces of mutton and stuffed them into his mouth. The chewing speed of his mouth was obviously faster.
Then the chopsticks reached for the plate of cold mutton again, looking impatient.
Ge Lianghua and others were stunned.
Cao Min: "Is it really delicious?"
Fang Fang: "Lin Zi, you didn't lie to us on purpose, did you?"
Huang Mei: "Isn't there really no odor this time?"
Yes, for many people, the smell of mutton is unpleasant.
Ge Lianghua did not ask any more questions this time. He stretched out his chopsticks suspiciously and put two pieces of mutton into his mouth. He chewed a few mouthfuls. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately waved to Huang Mei and the others, "Well, this time
It’s really delicious, you all should try it quickly! Try it quickly! Don’t blame us if you don’t have anything to eat for a while!”
While talking, he did not forget to chew the mutton slices in his mouth, and his chopsticks reached out to the plate of cold mutton again.
At this time, the three women Huang Mei, Cao Min, and Fang Fang couldn't hold themselves still. Their curiosity drove them to stretch their chopsticks towards the plate of cold mutton.
"The taste is strong enough and enjoyable! It's refreshing!"
Before they could eat it, Xu Tonglin, who was at the same table, had already eaten and his mouth was full of oil. He even praised it and once again reached for the mutton on the plate with his chopsticks.
Soon, the three women who tasted it were also surprised and praised.
Fang Fang: "Well, it tastes really good, it's just... hiss, it's just a bit spicy, um... and a little numb..."
Cao Min: "Huh? Is this spicy?"
Huang Mei smacked her lips, "Huh? I'm not so cool today, boss! I'll be honest, the mutton you mixed today is much more delicious than the last time, hiss... it's just a little too spicy... the spiciness
I can't stand it... Oops, my tongue is numb..."
She said it was too spicy and her tongue was numb, but she stretched out her chopsticks again.
Cao Min and Fang Fang were also like this. They were so spicy that they sweated on their foreheads and sucked in cold air from their mouths, but they never stopped using chopsticks.
Because it was a test, Xu Tongdao did not make a large portion of the cold mutton plate. So many people rushed to eat it, and the bottom of the plate soon ran out.
This was the result of Comrade Xu not holding out his chopsticks when he saw that they liked eating.
Comrade Xu was very happy to see some of them talking about spicy and numbing food but still rushing to eat it.
There is also a smile on the corner of the mouth.
But he didn't tell them what adjustments he made to make this cold mutton this time.
In fact, he couldn't get rid of all the mutton smell after it was cooled.
This is the natural property of mutton and cannot be changed.
But he has a way to prevent them from tasting this bad smell.
The method is straightforward and not complicated.
Two o'clock!
First, he had to cut the mutton thinly enough, the thinner the better. This would test his knife skills, and his knife skills were okay, but in order to save time, he planned to go back and buy a small guillotine for manually cutting mutton slices.
As long as the mutton slices are thin enough, the chopped mutton can absorb the sauce to the maximum extent when it is cold.
Secondly, it is to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
The saltiness should be slightly stronger, and the spiciness should also be stronger. In addition, he also added a numbing flavor and used green peppercorns that are not common in the market.
As far as he knows, there is a difference in the taste of green peppercorns and red peppercorns.
The numbing flavor of red peppercorns is more pure.
But the numbing taste of green peppercorns also has a refreshing fragrance.
In order to make the numbing taste of green peppercorns softer in the mouth, Tongdao Xu also specially soaked green peppercorns in boiling water to bring out the numbing and refreshing aroma of green peppercorns.
When he finally used it, he only used boiling water in which green peppercorns had been soaked, instead of using green peppercorns directly.
To sum up, if the mutton slices are thin enough and can absorb a strong enough sauce, the smell of cold mutton can be completely covered up by the strong sauce.
Looking at Ge Lianghua, Xu Tonglin and others were full of praise after finally eating this time. No one said anything about the spicy taste. Xu Tongdao knew that this dish was almost done.
Starting from tomorrow, you can try and research other new dishes.
He picked up his rice bowl and started eating.
I'll probably get busy again soon.
Can……
He had just put two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and stretched out his chopsticks, but before he could pick up the vegetables, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the store, neither light nor heavy.
At the same time, a familiar girl's voice came.
"Xiao Xu! My brother and I are here to say thank you..."
When Ge Lianghua and others heard the sound, they first looked towards the store door with different expressions. Ge Lianghua and Xu Tonglin were surprised, while Huang Mei, Cao Min and Fang Fang were confused.
The three of them did not recognize the two people standing at the door.
But Ge Lianghua and Xu Tonglin knew each other.
It's Xi Xiaoqian's voice.
Tongdao Xu didn't look back and recognized her voice.
He was a little surprised, she and her brother came?
Comrade Xu stopped his chopsticks and looked back. Sure enough, the brother and sister were standing at the door. Xi Xiaoqian was supporting Xi Dongyang, who was pale and a little thinner than before.
Xi Xiaoqian looked much better in front of her than the last time she came to borrow money from him.
But Xi Dongyang looked weak and recovering from a serious illness.
The two brothers and sisters were dressed simply today. Xi Dongyang was a bit thinner than before... Because of the weight loss, the jeans and shirts on their bodies looked a bit baggy.
And Xi Xiaoqian...
Tongdao Xu noticed that her hair was neatly combed again, and the white sneakers on her feet were spotless and clean again as before.
Comrade Xu smiled, put down his bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked over.
