"Of course! Thank you!"
"Hey! Eat slowly!" He turned around and called the boss lady, "Mom! Give him a bowl of soy milk, don't let the little customer swallow it!"
"Okay! Soy milk is here!"
After taking a sip of soy milk, Xiao Lu swallowed the pancake in his mouth and said, "Boss! This is really delicious!"
"Just say it's delicious!" The proprietress looked proud.
"Old woman! Come and help me float the foam!" an old man shouted from the other end of the kitchen.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" the proprietress replied, and then said to Xiao Lu, "The old man asked me to help make the mutton soup you've been craving! Take your time eating, I'm going to help!"
"Can I take a look?" Xiao Lu called out to the proprietress.
"Visiting? It's full of smoke and heat. Why would you, a young man from a big city, want to do such a thing?"
"Hehe! People in big cities can cook too! I love eating mutton. It's not easy to come here once. I'll learn some skills and satisfy my appetite when I go home!" Xiao Lu winked at the proprietress.
The proprietress smiled. It was rare to see a young person who didn't dislike the kitchen.
Taking Xiao Lu into the kitchen, the boss saw Xiao Lu munching on a pancake, and looking at his attire, he knew he was a customer.
"Old woman, why did you bring guests in here? It's so hot and smelly!"
"I came here on my own! Out of curiosity! I want to admire the boss's cooking skills!" Lu Guansheng said to the boss with a smile and made a face.
The kitchen is really busy, now that everyone has been brought in, let him watch over it!
The kitchen was very large, with more than twenty ceramic jars, each larger than a bucket, arranged in a circle on the stove.
The proprietress poured the lamb spines that the assistant chefs had washed clean into a ceramic jar filled with water, basket by basket.
By the time all the water had been poured out, the water in the first pottery jar had already begun to boil.
The proprietress came to the ceramic jar with a large stainless steel basin. Seeing the foam rolling on the surface, she skimmed it off with a large spoon and poured it into the basin.
Then he poured another tablespoon of water into it and moved on to the second pottery jar.
After one round, the first pottery jar began to tumble again! After skimming the foam three times in a row, the soup finally became clear.
"Why do you have to skim it three times?" At this time, Xiao Lu had already eaten half of the pancake and started to eat roujiamo.
"The characteristic of our Luoyang mutton soup is that it is refreshing and milky white, and has no smell of mutton! Isn't it thanks to these three layers of foam?" The proprietress said with pride.
While the boss was filling the ceramic jar with water, the boss's wife was adding two small spoonfuls of cooking wine with a spoon.
Xiao Lu looked at the wine jar curiously. "Wow! This mutton soup actually has a spoonful of millet yellow and a spoonful of Du Kang tea!"
"Millet yellow adds flavor, and Du Kang removes rice wine and adds fragrance." The boss explained when he saw Xiao Lu looking at the wine jar.
"What is this?" Xiao Lu asked, pointing at a basket of fist-sized gauze bags in the proprietress's hand.
"This is spice! Two packets per pot for flavor!"
