Chapter 187: Chapter 185: Tomorrow’s Menu Preview

No rush to start working, nor hurry to research the Memory Card.

Chen Mo found a runner and cargo service through an app and placed an order right away. Each crate of frozen rabbit heads holds 50, and he ordered 10 crates straight away!

Then he bought almost all the seasonings available at Pang Donglai, as long as they weren’t already on his food cart.

The refillable seasoning boxes are set to be replenished once again, ensuring that for a long time, there will be no shortage of seasoning variety.

After placing the order, Chen Mo proficiently began making mutton tallow!

The aroma from the scallions, ginger, garlic, and various spices mixed with mutton instantly wafted through the food area, attracting the attention of many customers waiting for dinner.

The advantage of experience is that when making it again, everything goes smoothly and effortlessly, allowing Chen Mo to achieve Perfect Level in every step without even checking the progress bar.

Once the mutton tallow is ready, it is set aside to cool.

He scooped up the white mutton broth from the pot and poured it back in.

“The soup is milky white, light when poured, this is exactly the state it should be in!”

Nothing else tonight, just hand-pulled noodles.

He took the menu board from the front of the food cart and altered its contents.

[Mutton Soup Hand-pulled Noodles: 25 Yuan/portion]

[Tomorrow’s Operating Hours: 10:00 AM ~ 1:00 PM]

[Tomorrow’s Menu Preview:]

[Spicy Rabbit Head, Scallion Mutton, Bangbang Chicken, Mutton Soup Hand-pulled Noodles]

“Since there’s an opportunity for the food cart to level up, two days is even too long, I’m racing against time!”

Let the storm come more furiously!

Chen Mo hung the menu board outside and poured all the mutton broth from the black pot into another large pot to continue boiling!

Then he took out a tray of hand-pulled noodle dough from the cabinet, oh right, Chen Mo suddenly remembered something.

Why did LuLu always find him whenever he changed locations before?

That’s not the point. The point is why whenever LuLu found him, many people would frantically appear and he would get surrounded?

“What if I voluntarily leak some information?”

He considered the photo he had taken and decided to send it to LuLu instead of Dunzi.

The four bosses were soaking in the hot spring, with four technicians kneeling behind them massaging their shoulders, and on the side were several female streamers in translucent red gauze dancing.

Before these four bosses, there floated trays with four food boxes.

Of course, Chen Mo was just trying it out without much thought. After sending the photo, and as the menu board was hung outside, customers who had been soaking in the hot spring started gathering around.

“Boss, no Bangbang Chicken tonight?”

“Not tonight, only mutton soup hand-pulled noodles.”

“Isn’t 25 Yuan a bit pricey for these noodles?”

Chen Mo lifted his eyelids, “You’ll know once you eat it.”

A slightly older man walked forward, “I don’t think it’s expensive. I watched this young man simmer the mutton soup today, and he didn’t add anything else, just kept boiling mutton bones. This mutton soup is pure, give me a bowl first.”

Zhou Xudong’s family was also waiting, and Xiaoxintong was already starving.

“Boss, we want three portions!”

Jing Zhaodi looked at her husband in surprise, “Can we finish three bowls?”

“Don’t worry with me here!” Zhou Xudong was full of confidence.

Chen Mo stood in front of the card-swiping machine, and the customers’ wristbands continuously swiped, and before long, 15 portions were sold.

“Perfect!”

He scooped enough mutton broth into the empty black pot, while not forgetting to add clean water to the boiling mutton broth pot next to it.

Holding the noodle dough in hand, Chen Mo had already mastered the technique of pulling noodles back during his time at Dakang Stronghold.

Each noodle was pulled twice, then torn into four strips, and after pulling fifteen portions consecutively, they were all put into the soup.

“Tsk! So it’s this type of mutton soup noodles, 25 really isn’t expensive.”

“What type?” To Zhou Xudong, being originally from out of town, although living locally for more than a decade, he lacked understanding of Yu Province’s food.

In the past few years, life was too hard to worry about anything beyond getting enough to eat.

The old man raised an arm and pointed at what Chen Mo was doing, “This mutton soup hand-pulled noodles comes in two types, one where the noodles are boiled in water and then mutton soup is added. The other is like what the young boss is doing, boiling noodles directly in mutton soup and seasoning the bowl. Now many shops use the first method for convenience. But this second method, truly soaks up the flavor!”

Chen Mo thought to himself that the old man really knew his stuff, but after second thought, it’s also normal. When you’ve lived in a place long enough, you have a say in the local cuisine.

Mutton soup hand-pulled noodles should indeed be made like this, combining the umami of mutton broth with the wheat aroma of the noodles in boiling water to bring out a unique flavor.

Fifteen portions of hand-pulled noodles were quickly cooked, and during this time, Chen Mo had added mutton tallow, MSG, salt, and pepper to the fifteen bowls.

He scooped mutton broth into each bowl one by one.

“Hey! Don’t rush, kid, leave my bowl of noodles for last!” The old man picked up the last bowl of mutton broth and brought chopsticks to stir the seasonings at the bottom of the bowl a bit.

The mutton tallow melted, leaving a few specks of oil floating on the mutton broth surface. Without waiting for the noodles, the old man blew on the broth and slurped it down.

“Tsk, tsk~”

He smacked his lips a couple of times, pleased with the salty, aromatic, and rich flavor, with the mutton flavor strong but not overly gamy, slightly spicy, well done.”

Chen Mo chuckled silently; this old man was rather amusing, acting like some kind of culinary master, mixing every seasoning in the bowl evenly before using long chopsticks to place the noodles into the bowls.

Every four strands for one portion.

Finally placing them into the old man’s bowl, “Enjoy your meal.”

“Haha! When something tastes good, one can’t help but eat faster.” The old man found a gazebo, bent over squatting at the entrance, holding the bowl with his left hand and lifting noodles high with the chopsticks in his right hand, waiting for the noodles to cool slightly.

“Sluurp~~” Such a long noodle and not hesitating at all, it was one bite one noodle!

Wow, he’s still got it at his age!

Chen Mo also found this amusing, but with more customers waiting in line to eat, he continued with the card swiping, noodle pulling, and cooking!

During the second batch, less clean water was added to the large pot compared to the first.

Continuing with the noodle pulling, cooking!

By the third time, even less clean water was added, the boiling mutton was visibly decreasing quickly.

No other choice, to maintain the broth’s freshness, it has to be done this way.

Zhou Xudong initially thought by ordering three portions he could eat two whole bowls, with his wife eating half, and his daughter taking a bite or two.

Unexpectedly…

“Darling, I want more…”

Zhou Xudong: “Didn’t you say before that you hated mutton hand-pulled noodles and claimed the mutton soup smelled awful?”

“That was before! Come on, quickly, go order me another one.”

“Why don’t you go by yourself?”

“I…” Jing Zhaodi touched her belly, “I’m embarrassed, hehe.”

“Daddy, I want more too!”

Zhou Xudong looked at his daughter’s bowl; with more than half still left, she was already asking for more. He really had no way with this mother and daughter duo.

“Alright, alright, you two wait here! Xintong, share some of yours with your mom first, and when daddy brings more, you can eat again.”

Zhou Xintong tilted her little head thinking about it, “Okay!”

Zhou Xudong donned his bathrobe, and was shocked when he stood up, “Wow, such a long queue already?”

He turned to his wife, “Honey, let’s just have your parents eat here when they visit tomorrow. The food is delicious, the price isn’t too low, and with so many people lining up, it’s definitely impressive!”

Jing Zhaodi nodded, “Sure.”

What they would eat wasn’t a big deal. For Jing Zhaodi, years ago, when she brought Zhou Xudong home, her parents drove her boyfriend away and locked her in the house.

That was a thorn.

Now, Jing Zhaodi wanted to show them that she made the right choice back then!

Now, she is living happily!

And for Zhou Xudong, it’s just this same thought. Back then, they looked down on him, which wasn’t really unjustified, as he was indeed just a young punk with nothing.

But now… Zhou Xudong wanted to present the best version of himself!
