Chapter 10 He is no longer arrogant
Lu Yuan rearranged the restaurant's front area, removing two tables and increasing the distance between them.
The overall space has more white space, making it less cluttered and more visually comfortable.
Each square table has a row of small ceramic jars containing seasonings such as chili oil, vinegar, and salt.
Each square table is also set with chopstick holders, toothpicks, and napkins, arranged at varying heights alongside condiment jars, creating a visually appealing effect.
On the whitewashed wall, there were some slogans handwritten by Lu Yuan, pasted up at an odd and slanted angle, disorderly yet very artistic.
Good mutton from the North only needs a handful of salt.
"For the best mutton in China, look to the North; for the best mutton in the North, look to Xiao Lu."
I will never eat a single bite of mutton outside of northern China!
If you dislike the gamey smell, try Tan lamb.
"This shop is interesting." The man looked at the slogans on the wall and nodded from time to time.
As a businessman, he could tell at a glance the level of these GG speakers.
The woman took the girl to the restroom and returned with a look of enjoyment: "Finally, I don't have to use the dry toilet anymore. It feels so wonderful to be able to flush and wash my hands."
It's rare for guests to feel satisfied with a restaurant before the food is even served.
In this way, guests will greet the dishes with anticipation and joy, and as long as the dishes are above average, they will be considered delicious by the guests.
Haidilao is a typical example. In 20 years, catering businesses will come up with all sorts of incredible innovations to enhance customer experience.
In the kitchen, Lu Yuan planned to make stir-fried lamb first.
When it comes to the stewing step, take out a piece of cooked lamb leg meat and cut it into thin slices.
Then, in a separate pot, scoop out two spoonfuls of the broth from cooking the meat.
Add the sliced meat to the broth, then add the radish, wood ear mushrooms, and glass noodles.
Seasoning only requires simple salt and pepper, and finally sprinkle with garlic sprouts and cilantro, and a delicate aroma will instantly bloom.
This dish is all about the fresh, tender flavor of the lamb. The broth is clear and not cloudy, and all the side dishes are there to bring out the ultimate freshness of the lamb.
For the first dish, Lu Yuan personally served it to Manman, along with a freshly fried dough stick.
The sweet aroma of mutton, enhanced by the garlic sprouts and cilantro, becomes mellow and flavorful.
The soup is clear, warm, and translucent, and each slice of mutton has a distinct texture and a bright color.
Manman picked up the spoon, gently scooped up a small spoonful, blew on it twice, and slurped it down.
"Mom, this soup is so delicious!" Manman looked up, her eyes full of smiles.
The woman affectionately patted Manman on the back of the head and said, "Try the meat again, is it delicious?"
Manman scooped up another thin slice of mutton and slurped it into her mouth.
The mutton was tender yet firm, smooth yet not greasy, and had a wonderfully fresh aroma. Manman swallowed it in just two bites.
Before this, she didn't really like eating mutton because it had a strong meaty smell, and children don't like such a strong meaty smell.
But the braised mutton that Lu Yuan made was completely different; the mutton had only an endless fragrance and not such a strong meaty taste.
Manman ate one bite after another, and finished off almost half of the mutton in just a few minutes.
Manman was a little out of breath from eating so much in those few minutes. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and nose, and her complexion became rosy, making her look completely different from when she was in the car.
"Slow down, no one's going to take it from you!" The woman casually pulled out a tissue and wiped the sweat from Manman's forehead.
Manman then turned her gaze to the fried dough sticks on the side.
The fried dough sticks were fresh out of the pan, and the steam carrying the aroma of piping hot dough wafted over, with a rich and mellow wheat fragrance mixed with the refreshing aroma of sesame oil.
Manman couldn't resist taking a bite, and it made a crunching sound instantly.
The first taste is the slightly crispy and fragrant outer layer, followed by the soft and fluffy aroma of the inside.
It also has a faint aroma of milk and honey, and becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.
The man watched from the side, his throat bobbing incessantly. His daughter was eating with such relish; he had never seen anything like it before.
He's a seasoned gourmet; the braised mutton is well-colored and generous with the meat, making it look simple but far from simplistic.
The aroma of braised mutton and fried dough wafted over, and his stomach rumbled involuntarily.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan came out at this moment with a plate of stir-fried lamb, along with two bowls of rice.
A flat iron plate was piled high with lamb, and hot oil coated the lamb with broth.
The aroma of the wok was irresistible, steaming hot and full of wok hei (wok aroma), and every piece of meat was glistening with oil, making it look incredibly appetizing.
The man had already picked up his chopsticks and was ready; he was no longer as arrogant as he had been when he got off the bus.
The moment the iron plate landed on the table, he immediately picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth.
The meat is incredibly tender, soft and delicate, almost melting in your mouth.
The lamb has absolutely no gamey smell; every bite is pure, tender lamb meat.
It's spicy and mild without being overpowering, with a complex aroma of scallions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers. The more you chew, the richer the meat flavor becomes.
The man picked up another piece of vermicelli with his chopsticks, piled it on top of the rice, and slurped it down along with the rice.
The glass noodles are coated with thick meat gravy, soft and chewy, each one soaked in the aroma of meat and seasoning.
The man suddenly put down his chopsticks and bowl, unbuttoned one button on his collar, then picked up his chopsticks and bowl again and fiercely attacked the stir-fried lamb.
The women on the side were stunned. The husband was eating voraciously, and the daughter was showing off her food like crazy.
Where had she ever seen this scene before?
When she cooks, her husband complains that it's bland and her daughter complains that it's tasteless, which often results in leftovers at home.
Is the food at this restaurant really that good?
The woman was a little indignant, but she stubbornly picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of lamb, and put it in her mouth.
The aroma of mutton instantly overwhelmed her!
She learned to cook from her mother since she was a child, and her understanding of lamb was now completely shattered.
She couldn't understand how the mutton could be so tender and delicious. She didn't want to miss the fatty parts, and she even wanted to suck the bones a couple more times.
The shop's temporary employees were dumbfounded as they stood outside the door.
My uncle couldn't stop grinning: "Is this how city people eat?"
"The way they eat is almost as good as my livestock!" Lu Jie exclaimed, hugging Lu Xue.
Wei Yinghong patted Lu Jie on the shoulder and whispered, "Quietly, don't talk about the guest like that."
"My livestock refers to Lu Hua!" Lu Jie immediately explained.
Lu Xue looked on, her mouth watering, and asked, "Brother Jie, aren't you afraid Brother Hua will beat you up now?"
"Afraid of him? Not at all!"
Inside the restaurant, the man suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Boss, is a serving of lamb one pound?"
"It's one pound of raw meat. If it's cooked, it'll be about six or seven ounces." Lu Yuan didn't try to hide anything and wouldn't play word games with the terms "raw meat" and "cooked meat."
"That's enough for whoever wants to eat it! Fry me another two pounds!"
"Okay!"
This reminded Lu Yuan that his menu had design flaws.
Back in the capital, dishes were sold by portion, and some dishes were even sold one serving per person.
The portion size of each dish is not specified; rather, it is determined by the way the tableware is arranged on the plate.
These farmhouse restaurants along the national highway should actually display the price per kilogram.
Sometimes, when customers have a big appetite, they will order 2 or even 3 jin (1 catties) directly.
The stir-fried lamb was completely devoured by the couple working together.
The two, still wanting more, temporarily put down their chopsticks and waited for the next serving of lamb.
Manman put down her small bowl and spoon, leaned back in her chair, and patted her belly: "Mom, I really can't drink any more soup."
The woman then realized that Manman had already eaten all the meat, vermicelli, radish, and tofu inside.
She had never seen Manman eat so much before. The man was also surprised by his daughter's good appetite today and took a sip of the soup that his daughter had left over.
Instantly, a sweet and refreshing aroma swept over my taste buds, completely different from the spicy stir-fry I had just tasted. This was another peak of deliciousness.
"Damn it!" The man suddenly slammed his hand on the table.
This action startled everyone, who thought they had eaten something wrong.
Unexpectedly, the man said casually, "If I had come here to entertain clients last time, I wouldn't have lost the business I was about to secure!"
