92 Chapter 92, The Way of the Cow Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot 2
"Okay!"

Lin Xiaojian happily agreed, he has never eaten beef hot pot, and he has only heard of its name. He heard that ordinary beef is divided into more than a dozen ways to eat, and he is very particular about it.

"Okay, now...it's less than 11 o'clock, can you order food?"

Boss Zhang nodded and looked at the waiter next to him. After getting the reply that he could open for business, he casually found a seat to sit down, picked up the menu on the table, and started ordering the dishes without hesitation.

"What kind of pot base do you want? Spicy or clear soup?"

"It will be all right."

"Then mandarin ducks."

"it is good."

"I've ordered, and you can order a few too."

"Row."

The two followed the traditional process of ordering hot pot dishes. First, the bottom of the pot was determined, and the host ordered two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one staple food, and then the menu was passed on to guest Lin Xiaojian.

"Spoon skin, tender meat, baby vegetables, vermicelli? I have everything. I'll order some old tofu. It's good to eat more tofu, it's rich in protein, and it's cheap and good."

He politely ordered a tofu, the price is 8 yuan.

"Just order some tofu? Why are you so polite? You've already gone out to eat. Don't save me money. How about some shrimp sliders?"

Boss Zhang took back the menu and saw that Lin Xiaojian only ordered old tofu, he raised his eyebrows and pretended to be unhappy.

In the eyes of many people, no matter what the relationship was before, as long as they go to the table, they must eat and drink well, otherwise it is disrespectful to the host.

Boss Zhang’s original intention of meeting Lin Xiaojian was to make money, but now that he invites him to dinner, it’s a waste of money instead, putting the cart before the horse.But since it's time for dinner, the host and guest must enjoy themselves, and they can't hold back.

"I've never eaten beef hot pot, you should watch it."

Lin Xiaojian spoke politely and told the truth.He has never eaten Chaoshan beef hot pot, and he doesn't want to take advantage of Boss Zhang.Some big stomach kings who don't know much about the world, when they hear someone treats them, they will be desperate and refuse to give up until their stomachs are full. He is not that kind of person.

"Okay, then add some shrimp paste and green vegetables?"

"Let's have beef fried rice again. What do you want to drink? A big bottle of Coke, that's all."

Boss Zhang quickly ordered 3 more dishes.

"Enough is enough, now we are advocating CD-ROM action, ordering too much is too much to waste."

Lin Xiaojian quickly said that although the economic conditions have improved and the daily interest of Yu'e Bao is 1 cents, the habit of thrift is still maintained and has not been forgotten.

"What's the point of ordering food, young people, how come they are just like the old people, they are full without eating."

Boss Zhang joked that Chinese people usually socialize at the dinner table.Before that, he and Lin Xiaojian were in a sales relationship, so he had to be careful when speaking.But after sitting at the same table, they naturally felt much closer, so familiar that they could joke around.

"Uh, hehe..."

After all, Lin Xiaojian was not as good at dancing as Boss Zhang, so he didn't let it go, he just smiled awkwardly and replied.

After a while, the bottom of the pot came up, steaming hot, divided into two sides by a metal plate, one side was spicy red, and the other side was beef bone clear soup.It is said to be a clear soup, but it also contains three pieces of corn, four or five slices of beef brisket and two beef balls. It seems to be more cost-effective than spicy.

"This meat is cooked, you can eat it now, so let's fill your stomach."

"Hey, I haven't got the sauce yet, let's go."

Boss Zhang picked up a piece of beef brisket and was about to stuff it into his mouth when he suddenly remembered that the seasoning was missing, so he hurriedly dragged Lin Xiaojian to get the seasoning.

"There are so many seasonings for beef hot pot? I thought there was only sand tea sauce, not many."

Looking at the long table with dozens of seasonings, such as shallots, coriander, garlic, sesame, millet pepper, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame sauce, and hot sauce, Lin Xiaojian couldn't help but sigh.He heard that Cantonese people like to dip in sand tea sauce, so he thought that Chaoshan beef hot pot restaurant would not have too much seasoning.He had eaten hot pot in his hometown town before, and there were only a few dozen kinds of condiments, such as green onion and coriander, which were very common, or dry dishes, with one or two special spices that were numbing and pungent.

Boss Zhang skillfully prepared a typical Cantonese sand tea sauce - sand tea sauce + mashed garlic, and a special oil dish of Shancheng.Seeing this, Lin Xiaojian made a portion according to his preference, added all the sauces he liked, mixed five or six kinds, dipped a bite into his mouth with chopsticks, and immediately felt that the various flavors were like colorful fireworks. It blooms and competes with each other.

"It's best not to put too many flavors in the hot pot seasoning at the same time. It's a big deal to add a few bowls of seasoning. Anyway, it's all included in the cost."

"Would you like to try this Cantonese-style sand tea sauce? Since you are eating Cantonese cuisine, it's best to follow the local customs and experience the unique flavor."

Hearing Lin Xiaojian said that he had never eaten Chaoshan beef hot pot, Boss Zhang took the initiative to introduce.

"it is good."

Lin Xiaojian stood up again, and this time he found that there was actually a chart of seasoning recipes posted on the seasoning table, which introduced the most common recipes for classic sand tea sauce, Sichuan-flavored oil dish, and traditional northern sesame sauce.

Since Boss Zhang said that you can have a serving of various flavors, Lin Xiaojian simply prepared a serving according to the recipe map.When we returned to the dining table, the fresh beef had been cut and elegantly placed on the plate. It was bright red and revealed an attractive taste.

There are strips of white texture on the beef. The texture of the spoon skin looks thicker and denser than tender meat, and the quality and price are higher than tender meat.

Lin Xiaojian occasionally saw some pictures of so-called snowflake beef. The texture on it was as dense as snowflakes, and it was very beautiful. It seemed that the more textured the beef, the higher the quality.

"So fast!"

While he was thinking, Boss Zhang picked up half a plate of spoon skins with his serving chopsticks, placed them evenly on the spoon, and put them on the bottom of the pot, letting the soup cover the sliced ​​meat.During this period, he kept turning the meat slices over and over with chopsticks in order to get even heat. After about ten seconds, he took out the spoon, put it on the hot pot, and called for the meat to be eaten.

Although the meat slices look discolored and look like they are overcooked, but the traditional concept still binds Lin Xiaojian, making him a little skeptical and worried that it is not cooked. , also have to stir fry for several minutes.

He knows that the frozen meat rolls in ordinary hot pot can be cooked through in about 10 seconds, but this slice of meat looks much thicker than the beef rolls. Can it be cooked in just a short while?Lin Xiaojian couldn't help being a little suspicious. He glanced at Boss Zhang and saw that he dipped the shacha sauce, stuffed the whole piece of meat into his mouth, chewed it, and made a sound of baji baji. Without any hesitation.

Seeing that the food is so delicious, there is no need to hurt himself, Lin Xiaojian also picked up a piece with chopsticks, dipped it in the sand tea sauce, wrapped half of it in the sauce, the mouthful of sweetness, the fat in the beef followed the teeth Chewing and splashing out, the mouth is full of oily fragrance.
