Chapter 138: BBQ Preheating and Sour Plum Soup
As for the driver, he returned home first, carrying the sisters' shopping bags as agreed. After all, the sisters had planned to spend the afternoon strolling around the streets.
Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue walked slowly up the wooden stairs, but her eyes were not completely focused on the steps under her feet. Instead, she looked around distractedly from time to time.
I saw many diners in the lobby downstairs sitting around tables, eating with relish.
Seeing this lively scene, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little relieved: Dongcheng Food Restaurant seemed to be doing good business, and she believed that after the barbecue was introduced, more people would come to eat.
Soon after the two sisters sat down in the private room, the dishes were served one after another. The clear soup pot was bubbling on the stove in the middle, and the tender beef and pork belly were neatly arranged, accompanied by some fresh green vegetables.
Lin Qingyue looked at these delicacies with shining eyes, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks to start eating.
Lin Qingxue first scooped a spoonful of clear soup to taste it, nodded slightly, and then began to slowly blanch the meat. The two sisters ate while chatting in low voices.
Lin Qingyue chattered about the interesting things she had heard recently in the mansion, and Lin Qingxue was amused and laughed from time to time.
"Sister, do you think it would be more popular if we introduced some cooling drinks in this food hall? The weather is so hot, and hot pot is delicious, but eating hot pot every day is unbearable."
Lin Qingyue swallowed a mouthful of beef, and suddenly her eyes lit up as she said, "I've only been eating for a while and I'm sweating all over."
Lin Qingxue gently put down her chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then replied, "That's a good idea. In the summer, if there are cool and refreshing drinks, diners can relieve the greasiness after eating the hot pot, and perhaps it will attract more people to come."
"Yes, do you have any ideas? I like sweet and sour flavors. Do you want to make a few more flavors?" Lin Qingyue said excitedly.
Lin Qingxue nodded slightly in agreement, "Indeed, the preparation of this drink must be done with great care, and the taste must be unique and ingenious in order to attract more customers."
The two sisters were chatting and laughing while enjoying the delicious food on the table. Before they knew it, they had cleared the table of food. After a short rest, the waiter came in with a smile on his face and started to clear the dishes with swift hands and feet.
At this time, Lin Qingxue was sitting comfortably on the edge of the bed. A breeze blew slowly in from the window, carrying a hint of heat.
Suddenly she heard footsteps approaching, she turned around and saw that it was the waiter approaching.
So, she softly instructed, "Please call Shopkeeper Zhang and Su Lanhua here. I have something to discuss with them."
"Okay, Fourth Miss! I'll go and tell them right away," the waiter agreed hurriedly, then quickly put the dishes in order, carried them downstairs steadily to the kitchen to wash them.
Not long after, Zhang Liang and Su Lanhua, the owners of Dongcheng Food Restaurant, stepped into the private room one after another.
They first smiled and bowed to Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue. After greeting them, they stood quietly aside, without saying a word, waiting for Lin Qingxue to speak.
"Manager Zhang, Lanhua, come and sit down."
Lin Qingxue greeted the two with a broad smile, saying warmly, "I've asked you to come here today to discuss something. As you can see, the weather is getting hotter, and the number of customers coming to our restaurant for hot pot is gradually decreasing. So, I'm thinking about temporarily suspending the hot pot service and focusing on our barbecue business. After all, in the scorching summer, everyone probably prefers the delicious, sizzling, and fragrant barbecue, right?"
After saying this, Lin Qingxue paused for a moment, then turned her gaze towards Zhang Liang and Su Lanhua and continued, "Besides, I have a secret recipe for sour plum soup. In a few days, once I've managed to get some ice, I'll be launching this refreshing sour plum soup. Then, every table of customers who come into our restaurant will receive a free pot of sour plum soup. This way, we can help our guests cool down and quench their thirst while also helping them get rid of the greasiness of the barbecue. Isn't that wonderful?"
After she finished speaking, Lin Qingxue walked lightly to a chair beside her and sat down slowly. She had an elegant posture and a calm expression. She looked at Zhang Liang and Su Lanhua with a smile, her eyes full of confidence and expectation.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think that it would be even better if she could brew beer. In that case, beer and delicious barbecue would be a perfect match! It's a pity that she hasn't mastered this skill yet.
"Okay, then I'll start promoting the barbecue to the diners who come to our restaurant over the next few days! However, I still want to know when the barbecue will be officially launched. That way I'll have a better idea and can promote it to the diners more confidently."
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked Lin Qingxue in a steady tone. After all, only by knowing the exact time could he better carry out publicity work and let more people know about the upcoming delicious barbecue.
At this time, Su Lanhua couldn't help but interrupt and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Fourth Miss, I don't quite understand what this barbecue is like. Is it any different from the barbecue we usually eat?"
As the head chef of Dongcheng Food House, Su Lanhua considered herself to be a pretty good cook, but she knew nothing about this novel barbecue. Most of the cooking skills she knew were taught to her by Lin Qingxue.
Hearing the two people's questions, Lin Qingxue smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Liang first and replied: "The barbecue will be available in about three days."
Then, she turned around and patiently explained to Su Lanhua, "Actually, barbecue and BBQ are quite similar, but the cooking methods and seasonings may be slightly different. You can pick two smart guys to learn barbecue with you. As for the seasoning, don't worry, I will prepare it in advance. When we are ready to start, I will also personally teach you how to grill delicious barbecue."
After saying this, Lin Qingxue showed a confident smile on her face, as if she had already seen the satisfied expressions of the customers as they enjoyed the barbecue.
"Okay, Fourth Miss! Then I'm looking forward to you teaching me your unique secret recipe of making barbecue!" Su Lanhua responded with a smile on her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity.
At this moment, her intelligent brain has begun to work rapidly, and she is secretly wondering which of the guys in the store is smarter and can learn things faster?
Familiar figures flashed through her mind quickly. While thinking, Su Lanhua unconsciously bit her lips, as if she wanted to tap into infinite potential and possibilities from these guys.
