in the kitchen.

Xi Dongyang, who couldn't get in on anything, did not leave the kitchen. While Xu Tongdao was cutting and cooking vegetables there, Xi Dongyang kept watching.

He has long known that Xu Tongdao's cooking skills are good, of course he wants to steal some chefs.

But Tongdao Xu's way of cutting vegetables made him feel powerless.

Because Xu Tongdao used the jumping sword technique.

Most professional chefs use the knife technique. When chopping vegetables, they look very handsome. When they hold the ingredients with their left hand and hold the knife with their right hand to chop vegetables, their arms do not move, but their wrists are constantly raised and lowered, and the kitchen knife is just like the machine. Generally, it seems to be easy to lift and fall in a continuous manner.

And the dishes cut with such an easy method are N times more beautiful than those cut by the average person, and they are definitely faster and better.

Xi Dongyang wants to learn.

But he dared not.

Because he didn't know Xu Tongdao's tricks for cutting vegetables, he was afraid that when he imitated, he would cut his fingers.

...

Tongdao Xu was cooking in the kitchen.

lobby.

Waiting Jinbiao and others are drinking tea and chatting.

To be precise, they were drinking plain water.

When the waiter poured tea for them just now, Hou Jinbiao glanced at the large tea leaves poured out of the teapot, then frowned and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want tea, just plain water.

Old Zhang, I think you are too greedy for mutton. In our small place, such a small shop sells whole sheep feasts. You want to come and try it. You are hungry!

Hou Jinbiao looked around the front hall, shook his head, and made fun of the man sitting across from him.

The man opposite him was about the same age as him. He looked in his forties or fifties, with a long face. Judging from the outline of his eyebrows and eyes, when he was young, he should be quite handsome.

Still an old man now.

Was teased by Jinbiao, and saw the two women they brought pursed their lips and snickered.

Lao Zhang raised his hand and touched his big back, picked up the teacup, and blew the boiled water that had just been poured from the cup? He smiled and said, You are right! Old Hou! Don't you know? My father was still alive before. When I was young, the best thing to do was the Quanyang Banquet? When I was young, I often went to his kitchen to steal food? But...you know, my dad died early? He passed away when I was 7 years old, so many years? I Every winter? When I see a mutton seller, I think of my dad, and then I especially want to eat the mutton my dad made...

Speaking of which, Lao Zhang sighed? He lowered his head slightly? So, do you understand why I like mutton so much?

Tonight, when I was driving to your dance hall, I passed by this shop and accidentally saw that the whole sheep feast was sold here? At that time, I really wanted to come and try it! After all, you also know this small place? Braised mutton, kebabs, etc. are all easy to find? But the one that can do the whole sheep feast... Have you seen the second one?

Hou Jinbiao's expression was surprised.

Looking at Lao Zhang with a frown, he didn't know what to say for a while.

The beautiful woman who was sitting with Lao Zhang blinked? Suddenly reacted? She immediately showed a concerned expression? She reached out and stroked Lao Zhang's back, softly comforting: Mr. Zhang, your condolences...

Lao Zhang turned his face and looked at her speechlessly.

Waiting for Jinbiao's goldfish eyes immediately glared at her, scolding: Can you speak while riding a horse? It's not like Lao Zhang's father just passed away,

Cao Nima's!

The beauty who was reprimanded by him looked aggrieved, but immediately apologized to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang didn't bother with her, but shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand, and motioned her to stop talking.

Hou Jinbiao's anger subsided, he thought about it, and said to Lao Zhang, Oh, brother, I understand, then where will there be people who sell whole sheep feasts in the future, I will help you pay attention, since I'm here today, I hope The whole sheep feast here can be eaten! Anyway, it is such a small fly restaurant, you can make do with it.

...

While speaking, Tongdao Xu's voice came from the kitchen, Serve the food!

The waiter Cao Min immediately trotted into the kitchen.

Before long, she came out of the kitchen with a freshly made haggis platter in both hands.

Hou Jinbiao, Lao Zhang and others looked over subconsciously.

Fang Fang! Go in and serve! There's another dish!

Cao Min came to wait for Jinbiao and the others while serving dishes, and lowered his voice to remind Fang Fang next to the bar.

Fang Fang was stunned for a while, but after reacting, she quickly trotted into the kitchen.

She did not expect that Xu Tongdao had already prepared two dishes.

Cao Minduan's haggis platter is quite large, obviously larger than a common dish.

When she approached, before the platter of haggis was put on the table, the faces of Hou Jinbiao, Lao Zhang and others showed surprised expressions.

Huh? This dish is well done!

Old Zhang, what kind of dish is this? Do you recognize it?

This is a haggis platter, of course I recognize it!

Mr. Hou, the food here is good!

...

When the platter of haggis was placed in front of the four of them, Hou Jinbiao, Lao Zhang, and the two beauties still had the surprise on their faces.

On the clean white plate, two-thirds of the area was neatly lined with a small pile of thinly sliced ​​lamb liver, lamb lung, lamb heart and other offal.

In the other third of the plate, there is a small white saucer with brown sauce prepared in it.

This brown sauce is mouth-watering, because the brown sauce has green and red chili grains floating on the surface, cut into square chili grains the size of rice grains.

Lao Zhang watched for a while, then picked up his chopsticks first and picked up a piece of lamb liver. Just as he was about to dip the piece of lamb liver into the sauce, he suddenly noticed the place where he had taken a piece of lamb liver... revealing a piece of lamb liver below. Cut off the gray-white intestines.

This, this... Laohou, are all the dishes in the small restaurants on your side so well done?

The old man was really surprised.

In fact, why not just him?

Hou Jinbiao was also surprised.

It's the first time I've seen...

While talking, the second dish that Fang Fang brought came.

She served steaming, fragrant mutton steamed dumplings.

Every dumpling skin is made by Xu Tongdao himself, and every dumpling is also made by him.

There is one characteristic of handmade dumplings - when they are just steamed, the dumpling skin will be particularly crystal clear and translucent.

No, as soon as this plate of dumplings came to the table, the eyes of the two beauties from He Hou Jinbiao and Lao Zhang lit up.

The beautiful woman sitting beside Hou Jinbiao was a little hopeless, she swallowed her saliva for the first time.

Didn't we order the whole sheep feast? How do you serve us dumplings?

She asked, and the chopsticks were stretched out in her hand, and she came back with a steamed dumpling, with a wide-eyed smile.

It's mutton steamed dumplings! If it's done well, it's delicious...

Old Zhang explained for Fang Fang, looked at the steaming dumplings with a sighing expression, his eyes were a little red, he picked up chopsticks, also took one, blew, bit down, chewed a few times, he The old man suddenly burst into tears, which startled several people at the same table.

Fang Fang, who served them, was also startled.
