When Comrade Xu returned to Shazhou County, the first thing he did was to find the phone number Huang Anmin, his cousin Ge Liangcai's senior brother, left for him last night, and called Huang Anmin to inform Huang Anmin that the boss of Zhiweixuan would come over tomorrow night to try the dishes.
thing.
Let Huang Anmin make some preparations.
Huang Anmin didn't have a phone installed at home, and the number he left for Comrade Xu yesterday belonged to his neighbor.
So Xu Tongdao called and waited for a while before Huang Anmin answered.
As soon as he explained the matter, Huang Anmin immediately said: "Okay, okay! I understand, I understand, don't worry! Mr. Zhang will come tomorrow evening, right? OK, then I will buy the materials tomorrow afternoon and go directly to your store
Make preparations in advance, and you can rest assured!”
"Can you spare time tomorrow? The store where you work now?"
Comrade Xu was a little worried about this.
However, Huang Anmin said: "It doesn't matter. It just so happens that my wife has been sick recently, and the boss of my store also knows it. I can just take half a day off tomorrow. I will definitely arrange this."
"Oh, but if you are pressed for time, tell me what ingredients you need now, and I will have someone buy them for you tomorrow. What do you think?"
Comrade Xu is still willing to help with this small favor.
However, Huang Anmin refused, "Ah, there's no need for this! It's really not necessary! Tomorrow's food tasting is very important, and I definitely have to show some skills, so in terms of materials, I plan to go to the vegetable market to select them myself, but still
Thank you, Xiao Xu! You are thoughtful!"
"Oh, okay! You're right. If you want to make a satisfying dish, it's best to buy the ingredients you want most! Okay, then it's settled. Don't miss your appointment tomorrow!"
"Hmm, definitely not! Definitely not! Your cousin knows who I am as a person, and there is absolutely no way I will break an appointment on this matter. You can rest assured about this!"
On the phone, Huang Anmin's attitude was very positive and affirmative.
Tongdao Xu felt slightly relieved.
He made the call at the newsstand of Wu Yali's mother, Aunt Wang.
But Aunt Wang never knew about his previous affair with Wu Yali, so when he met Aunt Wang, it was still the same as before. He was polite, and Aunt Wang was also polite.
After making the call and paying the money, Tongdao Xu left.
…
Time soon came to the afternoon of the next day.
Before Comrade Xu got off work, he was worried that Zhang Fa would forget to try the dishes tonight, so he went to find Zhang Fa and reminded him.
Zhang Fang said he had not forgotten and said he would definitely go tonight.
Xu Tongdao took the opportunity to confirm the time with him. Zhang Fa thought for a while and said: "It should be a little later than the dinner time! It just won't affect the normal business of your store. Do you think it's okay?"
Tongdao Xu was a little hesitant, mainly because he was afraid that Huang Anmin would not have time to prepare. However, the food tasting had to accommodate Zhang's timing, so he thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Then, he quickly borrowed the phone at the Zhiweixuan bar, called Huang Anmin again, told him the time of today's dish tasting, and asked him if he had time to make preparations?
On the phone, Huang Anmin did not stumble, "No problem! I have prepared all the materials, and I have also asked for today's leave. In this way, I will go to your store to make preparations now, and I will have plenty of time.
It’s definitely in time!”
…
Comrade Xu came back from the city after get off work. As soon as he walked into his store, he saw Huang Anmin busy in the kitchen.
Huang Anmin was dressed much more presentably today than when he came the night before yesterday.
Wearing a pair of black trousers on the lower body, a loose white chef's coat on the upper body, and a black cloth apron tied around the waist, the apron should be from his barbecue restaurant. Comrade Xu looked very familiar.
To be honest, Comrade Xu was very curious about what Huang Anmin had prepared today.
He believed that Huang Anmin would definitely show his true skills for today's dish tasting.
So the dishes Huang Anmin prepared for today should all be his specialty.
Not only are they specialty dishes, but they should also have some new ideas.
Otherwise, if they are all common dishes, can they be used?
Comrade Xu remembered that when he had two phone calls with Huang Anmin yesterday and today, Huang Anmin's tone on the phone was very expectant and confident.
As a chef, everyone wants to see a master chef’s specialty dishes and his true skills.
Tongdao Xu was no exception, so when he saw Huang Anmin busy in his kitchen, he couldn't help but be curious and quickly walked into the kitchen to steal some food.

When he walked into the kitchen, what he saw was Huang Anmin marinating a chicken in a stainless steel tray.
Next to the tray were a few dried lotus leaves and a small pile of pork net oil.
The lotus leaf did not make Xu Tongdao feel too strange. What made him feel very strange was the pork net oil that had not been through.
Lotus leaf + chicken + pork net oil...
What are you going to cook?
In comparison, Huang Anmin, who was marinating the chicken with his sleeves rolled up, used quite ordinary marinade.
Comrade Xu saw slices of ginger, shredded onions, scallions, and rice wine and vinegar smeared on the chicken...
Ge Lianghua, Xi Dongyang, and Xu Tonglin were also in the kitchen, stretching their necks to watch Huang Anmin's operations.
Hearing the footsteps, several people turned around to look.
I saw it was Comrade Xu.
Several people smiled.
Xu Tonglin: "Xiaodao, you're back! Look, Master Huang is making a beggar's chicken. Can you make a beggar's chicken?"
Ge Lianghua: "This is the first time I've seen someone make a beggar's chicken. Haha, I've only seen it in martial arts novels before. I wonder if we can have a taste of it today."
Xi Dongyang said nothing.
Huang Anmin nodded to Comrade Xu, "Xiao Xu, are you back? Do you want to use the kitchen? Do you want me to make room for you?"
Comrade Xu smiled and shook his head, "No! You are busy with your business. Are you being a beggar?"
Comrade Xu was surprised.
He had seen the beggar's chicken before in martial arts novels and TV series. In real life, even during the years when he was a chef in his previous life, he had never seen anyone make it.
After all, this dish sounds simple to say, but it is not easy to make it well and sell it well.
He remembered that according to the description in martial arts novels, beggar's chicken was originally an unexpected delicacy made by beggars because they did not have a cooking stove.
Its original method is a bit dirty and difficult to achieve elegance.
It is said that the chicken is wrapped directly in mud without being plucked or even disemboweled, and then put directly into the fire to roast.
After roasting, break open the hardened mud on the outside. The dry and hard mud will take away the chicken feathers. Only the chicken inside will be eaten, and the internal organs will not be eaten.
Obviously, this kind of practice and way of eating is not easy to be popular in regular restaurants.
But in front of him, the chicken used by Huang Anmin was a clean chicken that had been plucked, disembowelled and washed.
Therefore, Huang Anmin's method should be an improved version of beggar's chicken.
Tongdao Xu couldn't help but think to himself: Since Huang Anmin dared to cook this kind of beggar's chicken for such an important dish test today, he should be confident. It would be better to take a closer look at how he did it.
