Xi Dongyang, who had nothing to do, did not leave the kitchen. Xu Tongdao was chopping vegetables there without any distractions. While cooking, Xi Dongyang kept watching.
He had known for a long time that Tongdao Xu was a good cook, so of course he wanted to steal some of his cooking skills.
But Xu Tongdao's way of chopping vegetables made him feel helpless.
Because Xu Tongdao used the jumping knife method.
Most professional chefs are good at knife skills. When chopping vegetables, they look very handsome. They press the ingredients with their left hand and hold the knife in their right hand. When chopping vegetables, their arms do not move. They just keep raising and lowering their wrists. The kitchen knife is like a machine.
Generally speaking, it seems easy to lift and lower continuously.
And the dishes cut with such a relaxed technique are N times more beautiful than those cut by ordinary people with great effort. It is definitely faster and better.
I want to learn how to play Dongyang.
But he didn't dare.
Because he didn't know Xu Tongdao's secret to chopping vegetables, he was afraid that he would cut off his fingers when he imitated it.
…
Tongdao Xu was cooking in the kitchen.
lobby.
Hou Jinbiao and others were drinking tea and chatting.
To be more precise, they drank boiled water.
When the waiter was pouring tea for them, Hou Jinbiao glanced at the large tea leaves poured out of the teapot, frowned and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want tea, just boiled water.
"Old Zhang, I think you are too greedy for mutton. In our small place, such a small shop sells a whole lamb feast, and you actually want to come and try it. You are so hungry that you can't choose what to eat!"
Hou Jinbiao looked around the front hall, shook his head, and teased the man sitting opposite him.
The man opposite him was about the same age as him, in his forties or fifties, with a long face, and judging from the outline of his eyebrows, he should have been quite handsome when he was young.
He is still a handsome guy now.
Being teased by Hou Jinbiao, he also saw the two women they brought with him pursed their lips and snickered.
Lao Zhang raised his hand and touched the back of his head, picked up the tea cup, blew on the boiled water that had just been poured into the cup, and said with a smile: "You are right! Lao Hou! You don't know that my father was still alive before.
When the time came, the best thing to do was the whole sheep feast.
I often went to his kitchen to eat secretly, but... you also know, my dad passed away early, he left when I was 7 years old. For so many years, every winter, when I see the mutton seller, I will think of my dad.
, and then I will especially want to eat the mutton cooked by my dad..."
Having said this, Lao Zhang sighed and lowered his head slightly, "So, do you understand why I like eating mutton so much?
Tonight, when I was driving to your dance hall, I passed by this store and accidentally saw that they were selling a whole lamb feast. At that time, I really wanted to try it! After all, you also know that in this small place, braised lamb,
It’s easy to find kebabs and other items, but the one that can make a whole lamb feast... have you seen the second one?"
Hou Jinbiao looked surprised.
He frowned and looked at Lao Zhang, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The beautiful woman sitting with Lao Zhang blinked her eyes, suddenly reacted, and immediately showed a concerned expression. She reached out and gently stroked Lao Zhang's back, comforting softly: "Mr. Zhang, please express your condolences..."
Lao Zhang turned his face and looked at her speechlessly.
Hou Jinbiao's goldfish eyes immediately stared at her and scolded: "Can you speak while riding a horse? It's not like Lao Zhang's father just passed away, Cao Nima's!"
The beautiful woman who was scolded by him looked aggrieved, but immediately apologized to Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang didn't argue with her, he just shook his head with a wry smile and waved his hand to signal her to stop talking.
Hou Jinbiao's anger subsided, he thought for a while, and said to Lao Zhang: "Hey, brother, I understand. Where will there be a whole sheep feast in the future? I will help you keep an eye on it. Since you are here today, I hope
The whole lamb feast here is delicious! It’s just such a small fly restaurant, so you can make do with it.”
…
While talking, Tongdao Xu's voice came from the kitchen, "Serve!"
The waiter Cao Min immediately trotted into the kitchen.
Not long after, she came out of the kitchen with a freshly made haggis platter in both hands.
Waiting for Jinbiao, Lao Zhang and others looked over subconsciously.
"Fang Fang! Go in and serve! There is another dish!"
Cao Min was waiting for Jinbiao and the others to come with the dishes, and lowered his voice to remind Fang Fang next to the bar.
Fang Fang was stunned for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly trotted into the kitchen.
She didn't expect that Tongdao Xu had already prepared two dishes.
The haggis platter served by Cao Min is quite large, obviously larger than the common dishes.
When she approached, before she even put the haggis platter on the table, Jin Biao, Lao Zhang and others had expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Huh? This dish is well done!"
"Lao Zhang, what kind of dish is this? Do you recognize it?"
"This is the haggis platter, of course I recognize it!"
"Mr. Hou, the food here is pretty good!"
…
When the haggis platter was placed in front of the four of them, Hou Jinbiao, Lao Zhang, and the two beauties still had surprises on their faces.
On the white plate, two-thirds of the area was neatly stacked with a small pile of thinly sliced lamb liver, lamb lungs, lamb heart and other haggis.
In the other third of the plate, there is a small white saucer with prepared brown sauce.
This brown sauce makes people salivate just by looking at it, because there are green and red chili peppers floating on the surface of the brown sauce, and they are cut into square chili peppers about the size of rice grains.
Lao Zhang watched for a moment. He first picked up his chopsticks and picked out a piece of lamb liver. Just as he was about to dip the piece of lamb liver in some sauce, he suddenly noticed the place where he picked up the piece of lamb liver... revealing a piece of lamb liver coded underneath.
Cut off the off-white sheep intestines.
"This, this... Lao Hou, are all the dishes in your small restaurants here so fine?"
Lao Zhang was really surprised.
In fact, it’s not just him?
Hou Jinbiao was also surprised.
"This is also my first time seeing..."
While talking, the second plate of food brought by Fang Fang also arrived.
She served steamed mutton dumplings that were steaming hot and fragrant.
Every dumpling wrapper is rolled out by Xu Tongdao himself, and every dumpling is shaped by his own hands.
There is one characteristic of handmade dumplings - when they are first steamed, the dumpling skin will appear particularly crystal clear.
No, as soon as this plate of dumplings was served, the eyes of the two beauties from Lao Zhang and Jin Biao lit up.
The beauty sitting next to Hou Jinbiao was a bit hopeless, and she actually swallowed her saliva immediately.
"Isn't it a whole-sheep feast that we ordered? Why are you serving us dumplings?"
She asked as she stretched out the chopsticks in her hand and picked up a steamed dumpling, smiling broadly.
"This is steamed mutton dumpling! If done well, it will be delicious..."
Lao Zhang explained for Fang Fang, looking at the steaming steamed dumplings with a sad expression, his eyes were a little red, he picked up the chopsticks, picked one up, blew on it, took a bite, chewed a few times, he
The old man suddenly shed tears, which shocked the people at the table.
Fang Fang, who served them the food, was also shocked.
