As the first diner to taste the pickled pepper soup base tonight, he attracted a lot of attention.
Pickled pepper chicken feet is a famous dish that often appears on the dining table, and everyone is quite familiar with the taste of pickled peppers.
But a saying circulates among diners.
Comparing external products to Boss Lu's craftsmanship is to underestimate Boss Lu.
A diner picked up a string of white radishes.
Radish slices are already juicy, and after being cooked in the broth, they become even thicker. When coated with a dipping sauce, the rich, sour, and spicy aroma is especially appetizing.
The diner took a small bite.
In an instant, a distinct sour and spicy flavor assaulted the taste buds. The pickled peppers, which underwent special fermentation, had a pronounced sourness and a rich spiciness.
The two blend together very well.
This spiciness lingers in the mouth, stimulating appetite and enhancing the diner's experience.
"It's sour and spicy, and delicious."
With a bunch of skewers in their mouths, the diners took a moment to give Lu Wu a thumbs-up.
He was breathing heavily while also busy answering questions from other diners.
After the soup base boiled, the rising steam blurred Lu Wu's eyes and brows. Lu Wu then handed out another skewer of mushroom soup base.
Lu Wu added a variety of mushrooms to the soup base.
Mushrooms like matsutake, morel, and porcini rise and fall in the broth, making this soup similar in flavor to the previous clear broth.
The point of eating is freshness.
The clear broth has a meaty flavor, while the mushroom broth is all about the natural freshness of the mushrooms.
Adding just a little salt to the broth is enough; strong-flavored spices will only ruin the natural taste.
After a long cooking time, the umami flavor of the mushrooms infuses into the broth, resulting in a smoother texture.
The sliced bamboo shoots are scooped out of the soup and placed in the hands of the diners.
Lu Wu uses only the tender tips of bamboo shoots, which have no fibrous texture.
The tender yellow bamboo shoots carry the fresh fragrance of bamboo, have a slightly sweet taste, are crisp and delicious, and burst with juice.
Slurp!
The diners sipped the soup from the corners of their mouths and stood to the side, heads down, working hard.
Judging from the diners' reactions, the three soup bases were a great success tonight.
Zeng Si also came tonight, holding a little baby in his hand; it was his son, Zeng Sheng.
Zeng Sheng doesn't like coming to crowded places like this.
But there was no way around it; his dad tempted him with delicious skewers.
Although he was mature enough not to argue with his childish father, he knew that eating was human nature and he didn't need to resist it.
Just as he expected, the scene was very noisy.
Occasionally, when someone makes brief physical contact with him, Zeng Sheng's delicate brows would furrow tightly.
He huddled behind Zeng Si, trying to hide, unaware that his adorable appearance was particularly endearing to some people.
So some weird uncles deliberately teased him.
"Want some, little one? Call me uncle and this skewer is yours for the taking."
Wearing someone else's face, Cang Heguang is very unrestrained.
He waved the skewers in front of Zeng Sheng, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at Zeng Sheng.
This little guy has an extraordinary physique.
What if he wants to recruit him as an apprentice?
"Uncle, my mother told me that I should never eat food from strangers."
Zeng Sheng stared at the skewers for a while before looking away, but the sound of it seemed somewhat insincere.
It smells so good, I want to eat it.
My mother is a terrible cook; her food is hard to swallow. Yet, she loves to cook, and my father always forces him to help her.
Zeng Sheng, who had been tormented for many years, suddenly opened the door to a new world last night. He realized for the first time that after leaving his mother, there was no storm in the outside world.
Having experienced that heavenly taste, Zeng Sheng's mouth was watering uncontrollably.
But he felt that the uncle was a bit strange, strangely sleazy.
I'm still a child, I'm scared.
"Fellow Daoist, it'll be our turn soon. Please enjoy your meal."
Zeng Si, wary, held Zeng Sheng protectively in his arms, believing that the burly man before him harbored ill intentions.
The burly man raised his arm to flex his muscles, signaling to the other party not to have any bad intentions.
Seeing that the father and son treated him like a monster, Cang Heguang's heart felt like it was pierced by a thousand arrows and shattered.
Does he really look like a bad guy?
He took back the skewers, angrily tearing at the meat, and went to the side to comfort his wounded heart with the delicious food.
This is the fourth day that Lu Wu has set up a stall here. The diners who need to know have all found out, and the people who need to come have all come.
The venue was packed, with a constant stream of customers.
As Lu Wu's first customer, Steward Zhu had almost no room to put his feet down.
Tonight he chose a tomato-based soup base. The natural sourness and sweetness of the tomatoes were perfectly balanced by Lu Wu's cooking. Even though he ordered meat skewers, they still tasted refreshing and not greasy, with a delightful fruity aroma.
He loves it very much.
But Tian Shou just sent me a message saying that the collection of "desire" for this mission was completed ahead of schedule.
Based on experience, they should retreat.
But with so many diners outside the casino, they can't leave.
Squeezing and pushing, Manager Zhu finally made his way back into the casino, carrying a bowl of skewers for Tian Shou.
Thanks.
Tian Shou casually thanked him.
"Have all the messages been sent out?"
Tian Shou asked, taking a bite of the skewer, his expression one of satisfaction.
He licked his fingers, his tone excited.
"Yes, after Boss Lu closes up shop tonight, they will act according to plan and help divert attention. Then we will proceed with our evacuation plan."
Seeing how much Tian Shou was enjoying his food, Steward Zhu twitched his finger.
