65 The Power of Fat Sausage

[Jiangyou Fat Sausage] uses braised cooking techniques, and Mu Feng has practiced it thoroughly during this time.

Mu Feng first cut the washed fat intestines into small pieces with a knife, and then put them in boiling water with ginger, spring onions and peppercorns and blanched for about 1 minute.

Immediately afterwards, he set up another pot and began to cook the sugar color. Pour a little base oil into the pot, add rock sugar and stir-fry over low heat.

Then, after all the rock sugar in the pot has melted and turned light brown, pour in the sliced ​​fat sausage, and quickly stir-fry over high heat to color it.

Then, pick up the colored sausage, leave the bottom oil in the pot, add the prepared pepper, dried chili, star anise, cinnamon, onion and ginger... these spices, after frying the fragrance, put them in Into the fatty intestines.

Then, add a little dark soy sauce and mix well, then add an appropriate amount of water to slightly cover the fat intestines, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for about half an hour.

Half an hour later, when a whole pot of [Jiangyou Fat Sausage] was brought to the lobby, the group of primary school students were all attracted.

They stopped watching the TV, and just stared at the pot of steaming and fragrant [Jiangyou Fat Sausage] all the time.

Zhang Kaijie had brought his family's [Jiangyou Fat Sausage] a long time ago, and when he smelled the fat sausage that had just been served in the pot, he was taken aback for no reason.

This smells delicious!

It is much more fragrant than the previous fat sausage!

Looking at the fat sausage from his own store that he put on the table just now, he thought to himself, no, my fat sausage is already cold, so I need to heat it up!

In the last competition, he had no sense of crisis at all, but this time he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

The pot of [Jiangyou Sausage] made by Mu Feng is so fragrant!

It made him hesitate involuntarily.

Little Fatty just wanted to say that he was ready to start the competition.

Zhang Kaijie immediately said: "My fat intestines are cold, I have to heat them up first!"

Little Fatty paused, then shrugged: "Okay, then hurry up."

Immediately, a waiter came over and wanted to help take the fat sausage to the kitchen to heat it up.

Zhang Kaijie shook his head and said, "Please bring the stove and casserole, I will heat it here."

The waiter was taken aback and looked at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun nodded and signaled the waiter to get the stove and casserole, and at the same time looked at Zhang Kaijie curiously.

This little boy looks young, but his mind is quite meticulous.

She naturally knew why Zhang Kaijie asked the waiter to bring the stove and casserole to the lobby.

It's nothing more than thinking that the people in Zhonghua Building would not dare to do anything in front of the public. After all, he is now on someone else's territory.

After the waiter brought the stove and casserole, Zhang Kaijie gave the fat sausage to the waiter.

"Thank you, please warm it up." Zhang Kaijie said.

Lu Yun looked at him as a young adult and smiled. A child is still a child after all. Although he looked very cautious, he still failed to be vigilant at every step.

He handed over the fat sausage to the waiter. Although it was being cooked in the lobby, if the waiter really wanted to mess with it, there would be too many opportunities.If he is really alert, he should cook the fatty sausage himself.

Of course, if such a young child has such deep thoughts, that would be really scary!

That is to say, he looks like a child who has just read elementary school with his half-understood appearance now. Others will not think that he is too thoughtful. At most, he will only say that he is a little clever ghost.

After Zhang Kaijie's fat sausage was boiled, a strong aroma immediately spread out, dispelling the smell of the pot of fat sausage that Mu Feng made just now.

Only then did Zhang Kaijie breathe a sigh of relief.

Little Fatty immediately arranged all the students separately, and then told them all the rules.

After listening to the rules, the students nodded one after another, and at the same time, their eyes kept moving back and forth between the two pots of fat intestines.

The waiter served two plates of fat sausage to each of the eight children, and placed them on the table in front of them, one on the left and one on the right.

At the same time, everyone sent a small notebook and a pen, so that they can use it for voting later.

Just when they couldn't wait to start eating, Mu Feng led the waiter to bring up the rice and the prepared sour soup.

The standard way to eat [Jiangyou fatty sausage] is a bowl of fatty sausage, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of sour soup made with vinegar, chopped green onion and minced ginger.

When eating, you first have a mouthful of fat intestines, and then eat a mouthful of rice. The unique full taste of fat intestines, fat but not greasy oil, paired with the fragrance and softness of rice, the two kinds of food are mixed together, constantly on the tip of the tongue Rolling upwards and echoing between the lips and teeth, the taste is absolutely endless.

Finally, after eating the fatty sausage and rice, take a sip of sour soup, the greasy residue in the mouth is wiped away, and the whole person becomes refreshed instantly.

"Isn't your battle too big? As for what? That kid is just for picking up girls." Shi Nancheng looked at the things Mu Feng had prepared, and laughed.

"It's okay, it doesn't take much effort anyway. Besides, just like what Little Fatty said, is it possible that you have to be single like you?" Mu Feng teased.

"..." Shi Nancheng gritted his teeth with a dazed expression on his face, and muttered for a long time before he could only say, "I can't do it with my own abilities?!"

After a pause, he said, "No, aren't you single too? I remember you told me."

Mu Feng glanced at him blankly, expressing strongly with his eyes that he didn't want to talk to him.

......

The little chubby students began to taste the fat sausage.

After a while, Mu Feng looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock, and he planned to go back to Suji.

Seeing him looking at his phone, Shi Nancheng knew that he wanted to go back to Su Ji, so he said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"Aren't you going to stay here to see the result?" Mu Feng said with a smile.

"No, you must win anyway!" Shi Nancheng said with a smile.

Then, he looked back at the [Jiangyou Sausage] on the table and swallowed unconsciously.

"Mu Feng, did you only make one copy?" Shi Nancheng asked.

"I'm still wondering how long you can bear it!" Mu Feng smiled, and said with a look of Zhizhu in his hands, "I left a bowl for you in the back kitchen and told Gao Kai, you wait Take it from the kitchen!"

"Those who know me, Mu Fengya! Haha." Shi Nancheng laughed, "Let's go, I'll take you to Su Ji."

Mu Feng and Shi Nancheng went to Su Ji.

The competition at Zhonghua Building is still in full swing.

After a while, everyone voted.

In the end, Lu Yun sang the votes, Zhonghualou's fat intestines got six votes, and Zhang Kaijie's fat intestines got two votes.

Although it was not an overwhelming victory, the little fat pier was already very happy.

After singing the tickets, Lu Yun tasted two portions of fat sausages, and the fat sausages made by Mu Feng were obviously better than those made by Zhang Kaijie's family.

However, after all, it is children who do the judging, and it is normal that their judgment is not as good as that of adults.

In fact, for this kind of spicy food, it is not easy to distinguish which is better.

Because chili has the effect of stimulating appetite and awakening taste buds naturally.

In addition, the Jiangyou sausage from Zhang Kaijie's family is already a very delicious sausage, and the method can be said to be very authentic.

If it weren't for Mu Feng's master-level braised cooking technique, it would be hard to say who would win.

After Zhang Kaijie learned that his family's fat intestines had lost, he didn't show any reluctance to accept it.

He frowned slightly, walked up to the two pots of fat intestines, and tried them separately.

After trying it, he pursed his lips and didn't speak. It seemed that he had accepted the result of the competition.

At this time, a female voice came out.

"smell good!"

Then, a young girl with a SLR camera in her hand came in from the door of the lobby, and then walked straight to the two boiling pots of fat intestines.

The girl first took a few photos, and then took a deep breath of the spicy smell in the air, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"Um, hello, are you here for dinner?" the waiter stepped forward and asked.

"Can I try this?" the girl stared at the two pots of fat intestines in front of her without turning her head.

"Eh..." The waiter looked back at Lu Yun.

Although Lu Yun was a little confused, she had been in the industry for many years and had never encountered any situation, so she nodded to the waiter.

"Okay, I'll serve you a bowl." The waiter said with a smile.

After the waiter served half a bowl of fat sausage, the young girl said, "Let's do this first! I'll try it first!"

The waiter nodded and handed her a small bowl of fat sausage.

After the young girl ate half a bowl of fatty intestines, she looked at the other pot of fatty intestines, and filled another half bowl by herself.

After taking a few mouthfuls, she was stunned for a moment, why the taste of these two pots of fat intestines is different?

At first, she thought it was two pots of fat sausage with different tastes, but after tasting it, she realized that the cooking skills were different, and it was made by two chefs with different cooking skills.

When she came in just now, all her attention was attracted by the two pots of fat intestines.

When she took a quick glance, she saw that there were bowls and chopsticks on the surrounding tables, and she subconsciously thought that she was comparing two different flavors of sausage.

But when she tried two pots of fat sausage separately, she realized that it was two chefs who were competing in cooking skills.

"Hello, may I ask, were you guys having a cooking competition just now?" the young girl asked curiously.

Just as the waiter was about to answer, Lu Yun had already stepped forward quickly, moved to the waiter's side, and touched the waiter's hand indistinctly.

At the same time, she looked at the young girl and said with a smile: "No, it's just for fun, there's no competition."

After a pause, she asked again with a smile: "Excuse me, what kind of food do you want to eat? Our Zhonghua Restaurant has a very rich variety of dishes, and you can take a look at the menu."

Then, he turned sideways and told the waiter beside him to get the menu.

"No need, just bring me a pot of this!" The young girl pointed to the pot of [Jiang You Fat Sausage] made by Mu Feng.

Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this fat intestine is the only pot."

"Is there no food?" the young girl asked.

Lu Yun smiled, he couldn't say that the chef went to Su Ji, so he nodded.

"Then I can just eat this pot?" the young girl asked.

"...OK!" Lu Yun said with a smile.

The young girl immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up another bowl of fat sausage, and ate it with relish.

After taking a few bites, she asked, "Is there any white rice? Please bring me two bowls, thank you."

Lu Yun immediately ordered the waiter to fetch white rice.

----

On the other side, Zhang Kaijie saw that the young girl chose Zhonghualou's fat sausage, and he sighed secretly, a little listless.

Little Fatty stood beside him, seeing him listless, he immediately said: "Actually, your fat intestines are also delicious!"

Zhang Kaijie turned his head and looked at him, but didn't speak.

"Why are you looking at me? Don't you think your fat intestines are not tasty?" the little fat man said with a smile.

"Of course it's delicious!" Zhang Kaijie said firmly.

Another moment of silence.

"Let's go to the Internet cafe together tonight!" Xiaopangdun said.

"King?" Zhang Kaijie asked.

Little Fatty nodded.

"It's fine if you don't use your mobile phone," Zhang Kaijie said.

"It's boring to use a mobile phone all the time, and the computer screen is big. Call them too." Xiaopangdun nodded his chin to other students.

"Okay!" Zhang Kaijie nodded, "Then I'll go home first, and you should be early in the evening."

"Okay, I'll call you tonight." Little Fatty nodded and said.

Then, he turned around and called a few classmates: "Wang He, Zhang Yue, Fang Daming... everyone go home first!"

"I haven't eaten enough yet!" Wang He said.

"Oh, let's eat again next time! Let's go to the internet cafe together tonight." Xiao Pangdun said with a smile.

"Are you going to an Internet cafe?" Zhang Yue came over.

"Are you going?" the little fat man asked.

"My mother won't let me go out at night." Zhang Yue said.

"Then Tongtong, do you want it?" Little Pang Dun asked Yang Tongtong.

"What's so interesting about Internet cafes?" Yang Tongtong shook his head, then took Zhang Yue's hand, "Let's go, it's still early, go to my house."

......

Xiaopangdun and his classmates left Zhonghua Building together.

In the afternoon of the next day, Mu Feng came to Zhonghua Building to teach cooking as usual.

In the process of teaching cooking, he found that Zhong Yaqi was a little unhappy, so he went to her side and asked, "Yaqi, what's the matter, why do you feel that you are not in a good mood today?"

"It's nothing." Zhong Yaqi said with a smile.

Mu Feng looked at her and smiled: "Is there something wrong with you, I won't be able to see it? Tell me! What's the matter?"

"The canteen of our school has recently changed contractors. The new catering company cooks delicious dishes, and the sales of our store have been declining recently." Zhong Yaqi said.

"New catering company? What's the name?" Mu Feng asked.

"It seems to be called Dongyuan Catering." Zhuang Xiaoxue said.

Mu Feng nodded.

"It's okay, brother, don't worry, we will figure out a way by ourselves. Anyway, the most important thing is to make the food delicious. As long as the food is delicious, people will definitely buy it." Zhong Yaqi said with a smile.

"Well, that's the key." Mu Feng smiled and said, "Alright, if anyone needs my help, just tell me, it's always good to have one more person to think of a way."

"Brother Mu, don't worry! Our cooking skills have improved a lot, I don't believe it, and we can't beat a canteen." Lu Haoyuan said.

"I think the canteen has just changed contractors, and the dishes are relatively new, so everyone is more curious, and it will be fine after a while." Du Mingyu said.

Mu Feng nodded.

At this time, a waiter came into the kitchen and said that a customer wanted some Jiangyou sausage.

Mu Feng was taken aback after hearing this.

"Our store doesn't sell Jiangyou Sausage!" Mu Feng said.

"I also told the customer, but he said that he saw it on the Internet, saying that the Jiangyou sausage in our store is delicious, so he came here to eat it." The waiter said.

"On the Internet, since when did our shop sell Jiangyou Sausage? And it's online?" Mu Feng was at a loss.

At this time, another waiter came into the back kitchen and said that someone ordered Jiang You Sausage.

When Mu Feng heard this, he frowned, what's going on?

Could it be that the competition in the past two days was known by others?

But, it shouldn't be!

At that time, there were no other guests in the Zhonghua Building!

Moreover, those present were either the Zhonghua Building's own people, or the group of children...

Could it be the parents of those children?

They learned from their children that Zhonghualou's Jiangyou Sausage is delicious, so they came here to eat it?

In this way, it is also possible...

No, what the waiter said just now is that the customer learned that Zhonghualou's Jiangyou sausage is delicious from the Internet.

Who posted it online?

Moreover, this person has such a strong online appeal?

After seeing it, do you really believe it?

Various thoughts flashed through Mu Feng's mind.

But within 3 minutes, another waiter entered the back kitchen, saying that someone was looking for Jiangyou sausage.

This time, even Lu Yun followed to the back kitchen.

"What's going on?" Mu Feng asked Lu Yun suspiciously.

Lu Yun handed the mobile phone to Mu Feng: "This is the news I got from the customer. This official account published this article almost an hour ago, which said that the Jiangyou sausage of our Zhonghua Building is very authentic and very good. Eat. So they come here because of the name, wanting to try it.”

Mu Feng took the phone and looked at it, and found that there were not only text descriptions, but also several high-definition pictures.

"This is the fat sausage pot I made yesterday afternoon." Mu Feng said doubtfully, "Strange, why does this person have a photo?"

"After you left yesterday, a young girl came to Zhonghua Building for dinner, and she fell in love with the pot of fat intestines you made. She also took a lot of photos at that time. This official account should belong to her." Lu Yun said.

At this time, Shi Nancheng opened the door and came in, and asked Lu Yun, "There are so many people in the lobby, why didn't you go out to greet the guests?"

"Boss Shi, they all came to eat Jiangyou sausage," Lu Yun said.

"Jiangyou fat intestines?" Shi Nancheng was taken aback.

"Do you still remember what I told you after you sent Master Mu to Suji last night?" Lu Yun asked.

"Remember, what's wrong?" Shi Nancheng frowned.

"Yesterday, that girl had a gourmet official account with a lot of fans. She posted her experience and photos of eating fat sausage at Zhonghua Building yesterday afternoon on the official account. The guests outside all came here after reading her official account. "Lu Yun said.

"That's it, take a look." Mu Feng handed Lu Yun's phone to Shi Nancheng.

Shi Nancheng took the phone, looked at it, and turned to the bottom, only to find that after only one hour, the number of views was close to [-].

"This girl is amazing!" Shi Nancheng flipped through the previous articles on the official account, and almost every article had more than [-] views.

After briefly reading a few articles, Shi Nancheng had a simple understanding of this girl.

The girl's name was Dong Ning, and from the few photos she had, she looked young, in her 20s.

However, she is a senior foodie and gourmet gourmet.

Dong Ning's biggest hobby is to find all kinds of food. The key is that she not only knows how to eat, but also knows how to eat. She also writes very well, and the camera is not bad!

Her official account has only been established for more than a year, and with exquisite pictures and attractive text, the number of readers of each article quickly reached more than [-].

"Boss Shi, what should we do now?" Lu Yun asked.

"What else can I do? The guests have all come to the door, and there are so many of them. I just came in at least [-] people. Now there may be more!" Shi Nancheng hadn't finished speaking when another waiter came in and said A new customer wants to order Jiangyou sausage.

He nodded and continued: "This article has just been published, so we can't say that there is no Jiangyou sausage in the store, right? They are here specially, so they don't want to offend customers. Let's do it! Satisfy the needs of customers first."

"Okay, then I'll teach them how to make Jiangyou Sausage." Mu Feng nodded and said.

Immediately, Mu Feng asked everyone to start preparing the ingredients immediately.

All of a sudden, the entire back kitchen acted quickly, and everyone began to clean the pig's large intestine.

It is not easy to clean the pig's large intestine, it has to be carefully cleaned, inch by inch, inside and out.

If it is not cleaned well, no matter how good the cooking skills are, the fat sausages you make will be inedible!

After finally cleaning part of the pig's large intestine, Mu Feng immediately began to teach the chefs how to make [Jiangyou Fat Sausage].

Fortunately, this [Jiangyou sausage] is easier to learn than other handmade dishes. As long as you grasp the proportion of auxiliary materials and the final cooking time, you can basically make [-]% to [-]% of Jiangyou sausage.

This craft is like window paper, it is easy to pierce.But if no one mentions it, it's just looking at the flowers in the fog, and it may take a long time to figure it out.

After all, they are just learning, except for Gao Kai and Jin Mingwu, a few well-trained chefs who quickly mastered the skills, the other chefs are not skilled enough, and the practice time is too short, so the fat sausages they make can't meet Mu Feng's requirements .

Products produced by Zhonghualou must be high-quality products, and if they fail to meet the requirements, they must not be served.

Therefore, Mu Feng asked Gao Kai and others to bear it first, while the other chefs continued to practice, trying to master the skills of making Jiangyou sausage as soon as possible.

Then one after another of [Jiangyou Sausage] came to the table, and the whole Zhonghua Building was filled with a strong spicy smell.

There are more and more [Jiangyou fatty sausages] out of the pan, and the accumulated fragrance is getting stronger and stronger.

The spicy taste is so overbearing that it doesn't even let go of the corners. As long as there is a gap, the fragrance will go there. It can be said to be a 360° attack without dead ends.

Before the guests entered the Zhonghua Building, they could smell the fragrance as soon as they approached the door.

As time goes by, more and more customers come to [Jiangyou Fat Sausage].

When it was time for Mu Feng to return to Su Ji, the number of customers was still increasing rapidly.

During dinner, some unidentified guests came to eat. As soon as they entered the Zhonghua Building, they looked confused and asked the waiter, "Is this Zhonghua Building changed into a fat sausage shop?"

"No, there are all other dishes, how many of you?" the waiter greeted with a smile.

"Is this smell too strong?" the guest asked.

"You can go to the box, there is no smell in the box." The waiter said.

The guest nodded, and walked to the box under the leadership of the waiter.

The same situation continued to play out.

As long as the guests who are not specially here to eat [Jiangyou Fat Sausage] come to Zhonghua Building, they will always ask a few questions full of doubts.

"Why did Zhonghua Lou start selling fat sausages?"

"Isn't this Zhonghua Building a big restaurant?"

"Can future banquets be held here? Why are you selling fat sausages?"

......

There were more and more questions like this, and Lu Yun began to feel that something was wrong, so he told Shi Nancheng about the situation.

After listening to Lu Yun's words, Shi Nancheng nodded lightly: "I have noticed this situation too. Take it easy and see how the situation will be tomorrow."

----

Shi Nancheng originally thought that after this group of guests got addicted to their mouths, as the popularity of Dong Ning's article decreased, the number of people who came to look for Jiangyou fat intestines would gradually decrease.

Who knew that the situation was completely different from what he expected. With the passage of time and the spread of word-of-mouth, the number of customers who came to Zhonghualou to eat Jiangyou sausage not only did not decrease, but increased day by day.

At the same time, as more and more customers ordered Jiangyou sausage, the sales of other dishes gradually declined.

Because the number of diners that Zhonghua Building can accommodate is limited after all, the more people come to eat fat sausages, the other guests will inevitably be squeezed out.

Diners who come to Zhonghua Building, when they see that everyone around them is eating [Jiangyou Fat Sausage], they generally have two choices, either go to other restaurants, or be directly assimilated, driven by curiosity, and follow the choice [ Jiangyou fatty sausage].

Even if the diners order other dishes, they will inevitably feel weird when they see the people around them eating fat sausages.

Finally on the fifth day, after more than a dozen guests canceled the banquet in the box, Shi Nancheng had to pay attention to this issue.

He didn't expect a gourmet article on the official account to have such a great influence, and he didn't expect that customers would be so enthusiastic about fat intestines.

Even if this is only a temporary phenomenon, maybe within half a month, this lively situation will slowly return to normal.

However, he couldn't afford to wait and didn't dare to wait!You know, he opened a Zhonghua Building, not a Zhonghua Sausage Shop, there is an essential difference between the two!

He doesn't want others to mention Zhonghua Building in the future and say, I know, it's that famous sausage restaurant...
