When she saw a slaughtered lamb in the corner, her eyes lit up.
Nothing highlights the importance of her secret sauce more than roasting a whole lamb.
Forget about grilled fish and grilled meat, she's going to make whole roasted lamb!
"If you want to do it, do it!" Chi Qiao poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted to Manager Cheng.
"Manager Cheng, I see you have some lambs here. I'd like to make whole roasted lamb. Is that possible?"
Of course, if you're worried I'll waste your meat, I can pay for it.
Once it's done, I'll allow you and Qi Paoding to taste it. I'll take the rest with me.
"I'll pay you directly for the mutton."
Now that things have come to this point, Manager Cheng has no reason to be reluctant to part with the mutton.
"Alright, you don't need to pay for this meat. Use it if you want!"
With those words from him, Chi Qiao began to make preparations.
Charcoal, grill, brushes, and various seasonings.
As for the lamb, she chose not to marinate it.
Firstly, there was no need to waste time, and secondly, I wanted to preserve the purest, original flavor of the mutton.
So at Tongfu Restaurant, before it opened at noon, everyone in the kitchen, including Qi Paoding, was peeking around.
The reason is that the longer the lamb is roasted, the more seasoning Chi Qiao brushes on, the more fragrant it becomes.
Just as the roasted whole lamb was almost ready to be eaten, Qin Mu and the others arrived.
He walked to the front, while Magistrate Fang, Assistant Magistrate Zheng, Lieutenant Wang, and others walked in the middle.
Master Li and Constable Lü walked at the very back.
As soon as everyone entered the restaurant, they smelled the rich aroma of roasted meat.
As expected of Magistrate Fang's confidant, Master Li understood the other party's meaning with just a glance.
He immediately said to Manager Cheng, who had already come to greet him:
"Old Cheng, what did Chef Qi make today? Hurry up and bring us two servings!"
Before Qi Paoding even entered the kitchen, upon hearing this, he poked his head out from the back kitchen area and frankly said:
"I am honored by Master Li's high regard. Today's dishes are truly not made by me."
The people cooking inside were only introduced by Young Master Qin.
She came to sell recipes, and this whole roasted lamb is the second dish she's going to sell.
I reckon it should be ready to eat soon. If Master Li is interested, I'll have it brought up shortly.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Qin Mu.
Those who came with the government today all know Qin Mu's true identity.
It can be said that everyone present was of a much lower rank than him.
Of course, Magistrate Fang, who came from a good family and was specifically assigned to this post, is not included.
Upon hearing that it was he who recommended the person, they immediately expressed that the taste must be excellent and that they would definitely try it properly later.
Chi Qiao never expected that before she could even properly taste the whole roasted lamb she had prepared, it would be carried away by someone.
At that time, Qi Paoding knew from the smell that the taste would definitely be good.
So, facing the frustrated Chi Qiao, he asked directly:
"I wonder how much this dish costs, sister-in-law?"
Or, to put it another way, how much is that secret ingredient priced?
Chi Qiao didn't give a price, but said, "No rush, let's wait for feedback from outside."
Actually, Chi Qiao was feeling very uncomfortable at this moment, mainly because her whole body was warm, and the frostbite was so itchy that she was almost going crazy.
But I had to consider my image, and this thing was hard to scratch, so I was a little distracted.
