Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 2 After eating kebabs, I miss home
"Ten dollars a bunch, would you like two to try?"

Wang Aiquan thought, ten yuan a string is really not cheap.

He usually eats skewers and drinks beer with others at night, and the skewers they order at the barbecue restaurant usually cost only three or four yuan each.

Now this guy sells a string for 10 yuan?
He hadn't opened the store today yet, so he was a little hesitant.

However, he watched Li Rui grill it with his own eyes, and the taste was very tempting. Moreover, the size of the lamb skewers was much larger than those in the store.

"Give me two skewers to try first."

"Okay, do you want it spicy?"

"Just a little spicy is fine." Wang Aiquan replied.

He was a little impatient, and when he got closer to the grill, he realized how fragrant it was. The aroma of the grilled meat stimulated him all the time.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, the lamb skewers were grilled to 70% doneness, but not fully cooked.

Speaking of price, Li Rui’s products are actually not expensive.

He just bought some lamb hind leg meat from the market this morning, for 40 yuan per pound.

After skewering the mutton, he roughly calculated that one pound of mutton could make eight skewers.

The cost of each string is at least 5 yuan.

So his price is 10 yuan per string.

At this time, residents in the surrounding communities have already started to get off work one after another.

A middle-aged couple just came back from the vegetable market after buying some vegetables.

The wife walked towards the community and vaguely smelled a familiar smell, "Honey, there are lamb skewers for sale in this night market."

The husband laughed and said, "You have a very good nose."

"Of course. Have you forgotten where I'm from? You can't even smell it."

The woman's name is Chen Fang. She grew up in Inner Mongolia. Her family once raised hundreds of sheep, so she is very familiar with the aroma of barbecue.

You can smell this smell as soon as you arrive near the night market.

However, the husband knew that since his wife married him and came to Jianghai City, she was very dissatisfied with the barbecue here, because many of the so-called mutton skewers did not taste like mutton.

He asked his wife tentatively: "Why, do you want to try it? Didn't you say you would never eat skewers from Jianghai City again?"

Chen Fang nodded, "This one seems a little different."

The couple followed the smell and quickly found Li Rui's stall.

The man asked: "Boss, how much do you sell these skewers for?"

Although Li Rui has written the price of the lamb kebabs on a sign in front of the grill, people still like to ask the boss for the price.

He didn't quite understand why, but he answered readily:

"Ten dollars a string."

"So expensive?"

As soon as the man said this, his wife hit him with her arm.

"Do you know what's good? This is pure mutton."

Li Rui continued, "Yes, elder sister is right. This is pure mutton, not adulterated. I just bought the hind leg of lamb from the market this morning."

When the elder sister smelled the aroma of the grilled lamb skewers, the mouth-watering taste instantly brought back childhood memories.

Since she got married and moved to Jianghai City, she has not returned to her hometown many times. Although her husband is very good to her, she can't help but miss her hometown.

The familiar smell reminded her of the endless grassland and her warm and generous relatives from her hometown.

I'll go home and visit when I have time.

"Boss, give me twenty skewers."

The husband saw what was on his wife Chen Fang's mind. He often felt indebted to his wife for having come from afar to marry him.

Seeing this, Chen Fang quickly said, "Why buy so much? It must be two or three pounds, and we can't finish it."

"Boss, just twenty skewers." It's rare for a man to be tough in front of his wife.

He then said to his wife, "Let our son have a taste of it when we get home tonight."

"Wait a moment, would you like it spicy?"

Li Rui only put a dozen kebabs of lamb on the plate at first. Wang Aiquan from next door bought two skewers to try and wanted to grill some more.

He handed two skewers of lamb to Wang Aiquan and placed the remaining ten skewers next to the grill.

Wang Aiquan had been waiting for a long time. From the moment the lamb skewers were turned over for the first time, his body began to lean towards this side.

Now I can finally eat it.

He took the heavy skewers of meat. The portion was much better than those sold in barbecue restaurants and worth the price.

The fat and lean lamb skewers are grilled to golden brown and cooked to perfect perfection.

One less will not be cooked; one more will be mushy.

The seasonings are evenly sprinkled on top, with sesame seeds, chili powder, and cumin seeds visible to the naked eye, but the original flavor of the meat is not covered up, and there is a faint aroma of fruit charcoal.

Just holding them in your hands makes you drool. Wang Aiquan took a bunch in each hand and took a bite.

This bite is just the right combination of one fat and one thin.

The full meaty aroma overflowed in the mouth all at once, the moderate salt taste combined with the freshness of the mutton itself, and ten different seasonings.

Absolutely.

When you chew it carefully, you will find it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The lean meat is very tough, the fat is fatty but not greasy, and the rich taste brings enjoyment to both the tongue and teeth.

Such a big mouthful is so satisfying.

After taking a bite, Wang Aiquan immediately started eating both kebabs cleanly in no time.

The taste of cumin and chili lingers in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness from the lamb.

He scanned the code and paid, but quickly ran to the other end.

The strange behavior made Li Rui and several guests look over at him.

Wang Aiquan explained:

"My brother-in-law invited me to dinner tonight. I can't eat my fill here. I can't bear to stay any longer."

Seeing how Wang Aiquan enjoyed himself, Chen Fang and his wife couldn't help themselves.

"Boss, let's take two skewers to try first."

"Okay, come."

Li Rui pinched the upper part of the wooden skewer and handed them two skewers of lamb.

He originally wanted to grill all twenty skewers and bag them all at once, so he only placed these ten skewers on the edge of the grill.

I didn't expect them to wait so impatiently.

"It's better to eat it while it's hot." Li Rui instructed.

Chen Fang took the lamb skewers and started eating.

If she was just surprised by the authenticity of Li Rui's food at first, then she was deeply conquered by the taste after taking one bite.

When eating mutton, you can enjoy the original flavor of the meat. Li Rui's mutton skewers are obviously not marinated and do not have too much sauce. They are just pure meat flavor.

Chen Fang looked up and saw that her husband was also eating with his mouth full of oil.

She smiled, grabbed the remaining kebab and handed it over.

Li Rui couldn't help but smile as he watched the couple eating while waiting. He turned the mutton skewers over and sprinkled the seasoning evenly on them.

The fruit charcoal underneath was already burning red, and the grease dripping on it actually caught fire.

Even if preparations have been made in advance, this kind of thing is still difficult to avoid.

But Li Rui did not panic at all in the face of this situation. He first placed the skewers on the other side of the oven where there was no fire, and then grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it on.

The fire was put out in an instant with a calm and effortless operation.

Whether the lamb skewers are grilled well or not depends on how well you control the heat.

If the charcoal starts to burn, it's not kebabs anymore.

At this time, more and more people came to the night market.

Li Rui's stall didn't occupy a very good location, but a few people still came over when they smelled the strong barbecue smell.

"Boss, give me five skewers, with more chili."

"Brother, how are you selling these skewers? Give me a few."

After a while, more and more people gathered.

Li Rui was busy flipping the noodles and sprinkling seasonings.

After grilling skewers for an office worker, he finally had some free time. When he took out his mobile phone, it was already past seven o'clock.

He took a look at the remaining skewers and there were about two hundred left.

The completion rate of the task on the system was 342/500. Unexpectedly, he had completed more than half of the task before his nightlife had just begun.

I didn’t expect such a big kebab to be so popular.

Sure enough, it’s delicious and the quantity is large.

Li Rui recalled that in his previous life he often cheated on customers by selling goods in order to make a small profit.

But who in this world is willing to be a sucker?

When doing business, you still have to be honest.

There may be reasons for selling things at a high price, but you must keep your word.

At this time, another little girl came over following the scent.

"Boss, my roommate recommended me here, give it to me"

Before the little girl even said how many skewers she wanted, she already had an expression of rage on her face. She pointed her finger and said:
"Swindler! Why is it you?"
