Chapter 41
My dear sister is not allowed to date a bastard anymore
Ever since Xiao Yue came up with the idea of making Bobo Chicken, he felt unusually excited.
However, it takes time to prepare the dish, after all, the new dish has just been put on the menu.
The old duck and radish soup attracted many elderly people, and the French fries made Zhao Liang bring a group of students. Every noon, they would be seen walking around Yueting Buffet in uniform.
The little girl also came, brought by her mother to express her gratitude.
"I had to leave after dinner yesterday because of something urgent. I couldn't come to say thank you in person until today..."
"fine."
Xiao Yue chatted with her for a few words and found out the little girl's name: Xu Qingwu, a very nice name.
However, during the process, Xiao Yue discovered that although the woman apologized verbally, her looks and eyes did not show that she cared about Xu Qingwu's safety. After chatting for a few words, she lowered her head and scolded.
"You deserve it for running so fast. Will you dare to do it again next time? If it weren't for Madam Xiao, your legs would have been broken by someone. I wonder who will pay to punish you then!"
Xu Qingwu curled her lips in grievance, pulled her clothes and stopped talking.
Xiao Yue frowned and said, "It's not that serious. Even if I wasn't there yesterday, there would be someone else to hold her up."
The man who knocked Xu Qingwu down reacted quickly, and the people next to him also stopped and stopped moving forward.
Yueting Buffet has always had a queue to enter from the beginning until now, so everyone has subconsciously taken their dishes in order and everything has been very orderly.
Even if everyone rushes in, there won't be chaos. Why would a stampede occur?
"It's fine as long as she's fine." The woman didn't care much: "Madam Xiao, you don't have to speak for this little girl."
Xiao Yue's brows were still furrowed as he saw the woman go to serve the dishes, leaving Xu Qingwu alone there.
"Mom is gone!" Xu Qingwu seemed to be used to it and became happy: "I'm going to eat French fries too!"
Xiao Yue nodded and asked her to be careful.
"good!"
For the next two days, Xiao Yue was able to see the mother and daughter.
Every time, the woman would serve herself the dishes, and since they were all spicy, it was obvious that she was going to eat them herself, while Xu Qingwu would pick up the French fries by herself.
Even though the insulated tank truck was not very high and there was space for feet underneath, it was still too much trouble for a child like her.
Fang Sanhong also noticed this situation and commented hesitantly: "...you have such a big heart."
Sometimes Xu Qingwu not only had to pick up her own fries, but also had to help the woman serve the old duck soup. Although the soup was not spilled, it was trembling when she was carrying it.
Xiao Yue couldn't help but pursed her lips.
It is a good thing for children to mature early, but he is only three or four years old and has little strength. It would be bad if he gets burned.
However, the mother and daughter got along well in the store, and as the bosses, Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong could not step forward and scold them too much.

"What is this Bobo Chicken you're talking about?"
After a day's business ended, Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong came to the backyard after dinner.
Early this morning, when Fang Sanhong arrived at the store, she saw two new refrigerated cabinets in the backyard, one full of ingredients and the other empty, with countless bamboo skewers on the plate next to it.
Xiao Yue told her that the store would add a new series of "flavored snacks" tomorrow and would prepare a lot of things, which would start to be made after business hours close.
Therefore, Fang Sanhong was curious for most of the day. What was the local snack "Bobo Chicken" she was talking about?
Xiao Yue's mouth curved, "It's mainly chicken, with some vegetables strung into skewers, cooked in advance and soaked in red oil or Sichuan pepper soup. It's a kind of cold skewers."
Eating a few skewers of these on a hot day, paired with lemonade or cola, is simply a great enjoyment in life.
Therefore, after two days when the new dish was not so busy in the store, Xiao Yue prepared to start producing it as a new series.
Fang Sanhong only half understood what he said, but even though she had never seen such delicacy, she never doubted Xiao Yue's cooking skills and even began to imagine its taste.
"So the first step is to process the ingredients?"
"That's right."
Xiao Yue first took out the different parts of the chicken from the freezer, and then the various vegetarian dishes.
The first step was naturally to clean them, and thanks to the two of us, it didn't take long.
The part of cutting vegetables after that is more time-consuming. The meat includes chicken feet, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken wing tips, etc., as well as duck intestines, tripe, beef, quail eggs... basically they all need to be marinated with onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, rice wine, etc.
The vegetarian dishes are even more varied, including mushrooms, lotus roots, potatoes, bamboo shoots, broccoli, bean curd, and black fungus... After all, it is a buffet, so naturally meat and vegetables must be combined.
Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong were in charge of the meat and vegetables respectively, and it took about half an hour to finish cutting everything.
"Sister Sanhong, take a rest." Xiao Yue handed Fang Sanhong a glass of water and took all the ingredients from the kitchen to the backyard.
Now there is only one last step left, which is to string the processed ingredients into small skewers.
Xiao Yue skewered the meat first. After he had skewered a few skewers, Fang Sanhong came out and sat across the table to join in.
Threading the skewers is relatively easier than processing the ingredients.
While Xiao Yue and Fang Sanhong were chatting, they put the skewers into small baskets, sorted them out, and then put them into the refrigerator.
It wasn't until the sun went down that we finished skewering all the ingredients. At a glance, the entire freezer was full, which gave me a particularly satisfying feeling.
At least enough for three days!
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Sanhong." Xiao Yue stood up and rubbed his hands: "Don't go back yet. We have been busy for so long. Let's make a few skewers to eat first!"
Halfway through the meal, Xiao Yue went to the kitchen to cook chicken soup. There was nothing much to be particular about. The products produced by the system were very fresh, and they were delicious and clear no matter how they were cooked.
And the most important thing about Bobo Chicken is not the chicken soup, but the base of the pot. This time, we will make the red oil and chili first.
Xiao Yue had searched the system before and found three types of chili powder of different coarsenesses that provided spiciness, fragrance, and color.
She dumped it all in a large bowl, sprinkled with plenty of sesame seeds, and mixed well to heat and fry the spices.
There are more spices, including onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, carrots, as well as cardamom, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon... and twelve other kinds.
The oil was hot enough to smoke, and Xiao Yue put them all into the pot.
“Boom——”
The spices instantly started to smell as they came into contact with the hot oil, and a fragrance rushed from between the wings of my nose to my forehead, as if I would be intoxicated if I smelled it for a few more seconds.
After about a quarter of an hour, the spices turned brown.
Xiao Yue bent down and removed the firewood, allowing the oil temperature to slowly drop. He then used a colander to drain all the spices from the oil. When there was no residue left, he could scoop up the first wave of oil and pour it onto the chili noodles.
It needs to be added in three times in total so that the chili powder will not become mushy due to the high oil temperature.
Every time the hot oil touches the chili powder, the bowl will boil. The gradually coming spicy aroma brings a fresh stream in the intoxicating aroma of spices, which is particularly refreshing.
After the chili oil was ready, Xiao Yue covered it temporarily with a lid, and then started to boil water to blanch the ingredients.
Fang Sanhong had already put a lot of skewers on the chopping board, including meat and vegetables, enough for two people.
Xiao Yue tied the back half of the bamboo sticks together with a small rope to prevent them from falling apart and making them difficult to operate later.
During the process, Xiao Yue could faintly smell the aroma of the red chili oil. Thinking about the taste of the skewers with it later, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva and officially started to blanch the meat skewers.
The chicken feet would take a little longer to cook, but Xiao Yue let them cook while blanching the other ingredients in another pot.
Adding some salt and sesame oil during the blanching process will not only give the food more base flavor, but also make the color brighter.
After everything is boiled, it’s time for the last step.
Because it was not officially on sale yet, and since he was going to eat it himself, Xiao Yue didn't care too much. He just put freshly made red chili oil, salt, sugar, pepper, etc. in a large bowl, and then poured in the chicken soup that had cooled down a lot.
In an instant, the fragrant red oil was washed away and then floated to the surface, dotted with dense sesame seeds and accompanied by fresh chicken soup. The taste was so delicious that Fang Sanhong, who was standing by, could not help but eat it.
Xiao Yue was seen putting the boiled ingredients in, turning the bamboo skewers every time he put in a handful, so that each string of ingredients was evenly coated with red oil and sesame seeds.
Finally, Xiao Yue untied the small rope and carried a big bowl of Bobo Chicken to the table where they were having dinner.
"Sister Sanhong, come quickly!"
She didn't need to say much, Fang Sanhong had already followed the fragrance over like a ghost, her eyes fixed on the big pot of Bobo Chicken.
Fang Sanhong sat down in a daze, picked up a skewer in a daze, and put it into her mouth in a daze...
Xiao Yue took out two palm-sized jars from the refrigerator. When he turned around, he saw her looking stunned. He couldn't help but smile and walked over to her.
"If you soak it for a while longer, it will be more flavorful."
However, Xiao Yue knew that the two of them were very hungry after being busy for most of the day, so it was okay for them to eat in advance.
She placed two small jars on the table, sat down and relaxed, pushed one of them over, and said calmly, "And this, the wine was brewed this morning and sent to you, try it."
Fang Sanhong was in a trance. She looked at her, then looked at the small and exquisite wine jar, then reached out and picked it up.
When she first touched it, her fingertips paused for a moment because it was a little cold. Then Fang Sanhong opened the jar of wine and smelled a very unique aroma of wine.
Seeing her take a tentative sip, Xiao Yue opened the drink in his hand and poured it directly into his mouth.
It has a refreshing taste and rich aroma. The light yellow wine seems to dance on the tip of the tongue. Every jump leaves a deep impression on the brain, refreshing and endless aftertaste.
Xiao Yue was filled with emotion. While picking up a skewer, he looked at Fang Sanhong opposite him.
"This wine..." Fang Sanhong opened his eyes slightly: "It's different from what I've drunk before. It has a wheat aroma, not strong at all!"
Xiao Yue swallowed the tripe in his mouth and said lazily: "Tomorrow we will serve the new dish together with Bobo Chicken. Oh, and there is another kind of drinking water. Sister Sanhong must have never drunk it..."
But the current atmosphere is certainly more suitable for drinking.
Listening to her words, Fang Sanhong became dazed again.
Candles were lit in the kitchen. In the dim light, the two people became more and more excited as they ate, and bamboo sticks fell all over the table, many of which even fell to the ground.
Just when the pot of Bobo Chicken was empty, the slightly tipsy Xiao Yue heard Fang Sanhong say something.
"...My dear sister, you are not allowed to date a bastard in the future. You have to make all these delicious foods for him. If he steals the secret recipe, if he cheats on you..."
Xiao Yue could tell that Fang Sanhong was already drunk, after all, she later took out a lot of jars of wine, but the content of her words made her laugh and cry.
"Sister Sanhong, I don't have this idea at all. Besides, what's the point of finding someone who can only eat but not help?"
"That's good...that's good...hiccup!"
