Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 232 A busy little shop, a roasted lamb
Sheep obtained for free are not included in operating costs.

In addition to motivating employees, Li Rui also wants to give back to new and old customers.

So on the new night, many customers and fans who came were given a free piece of roast lamb.

The time to start processing the sheep is in the morning.

Lao Jin sent the lamb to a small shop on the pedestrian street together with Li Ruiding's meat for the day.

As soon as he got off the car, he praised the sheep:

"Brother Li, this sheep is of very good quality."

"Yes, it was sent by a relative from my hometown."

"I remember that the two chickens before were not ordinary broiler chickens."

"Well, we raise livestock in my hometown, and we take good care of them."

"That's right. It's the same as other people."

Li Rui didn't know what Lao Jin was talking about.

But Boss Jin was very meticulous in his work and handled the sheep very cleanly. He knew that his store also sold mutton soup, so he packed the sheep offal, sheep heads and sheep hooves separately and put them in two black bags.

Two shop assistants helped carry various ingredients into the store.

Li Rui said to Lao Jin:

"I'm sorry to bother you several times, Boss Jin."

"Hey, this is all a side issue."

Boss Jin's butcher shop believes that you get what you pay for. Li Rui often buys mutton that costs thirty or forty yuan per pound, and the quality is always good.

But his butcher shop also has the technology and hard work of wrapping pig kidneys in mutton tail fat.

Talk about how real Lao Jin is.

Maybe it’s not too real.

But the price corresponds to the product, and it can be said that it is fair to everyone.

He is also a very loyal person.
Li Rui asked him to help take care of two chickens and a sheep, but he said it was just something he did by the way and refused to accept any money.

"Old Jin, if you have time tonight, come to our store and have a seat. We have been doing business for a long time. I will treat you to some meat and beer."

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing."

Lao Jin was polite to Li Rui for three rounds before he agreed to come.

"Remember to bring your sister-in-law with you in the evening."

"Okay, I won't be polite."

Baking will be a time-consuming process.

The early stage processing should not be relaxed either.

After the sheep is slaughtered, it needs to be placed in a large pot and soaked in clean water to remove the blood.

After that, prepare some pickling spices.

Put aniseed, peppercorns, fennel and cardamom into a pan and stir-fry until fragrant.

Add onion and ginger and continue stir-frying.

Once the spices have fully developed, pour in water and bring the marinade to a boil.

The quality of the mutton was good, so Li Rui didn't add too many spices.

Just add some effects to remove fishy and muttony smell.

In addition to spices, a large amount of salt should be added to marinate the mutton in advance.

Take out the mutton that has been soaked in clean water and rinse it.

Simmer the marinade, soup and water onto the lamb.

The next step is the process of fully tasting it.

However, if you want to roast a whole lamb, the current oven in the store is not suitable.

Li Rui brought out the iron bucket that he had used to bake sweet potatoes and made some simple modifications.

When the iron barrel was turned sideways, it turned out that one side could be opened.

Able to put sheep in it.

In addition, the heating tube inside needs to be removed and replaced with charcoal grilling to achieve the flavor of roasted whole lamb.

The mutton needs to be marinated, and it is already evening when we start roasting the whole lamb.

Li Rui took the lamb out of the marinade pot.
It was handed over to Comrade Ma Jinge, who was asked to help tie the lamb belly to the grill.

Xiao Ma is not good at cooking, but he is very good at tying people down.

She held the wire, her hands flying, and without even using pliers, she quickly secured the roasted whole lamb.

Li Rui couldn't help but ask:

"Where did you learn this skill?" "School."

"What kind of course teaches this?"

"College English, my major."

Xiao Han, who never went to college, was very envious.

The lamb is thick in the middle and thin on both sides. The charcoal at the bottom of the barbecue barrel should also be arranged in an I-shape to allow it to be heated evenly.

After the whole roasted lamb is tied to the grill, it undergoes a slightly lengthy roasting process.

During this period, you need to brush oil on the surface of the sheep regularly.

You also need to constantly shake the handle on the side of the barbecue barrel to keep the lamb rotating in the oven.

Li Rui originally wanted Xiao Han and Xiao Ma to take turns to complete this task.

But the customers in the store,

Every late night, a few people always become very enthusiastic.

"Boss, I want to play for a while, too."

"It's so interesting, let me try it, let me try it."

Li Rui brought out drinks, beer, and skewers.
They were also promised a large piece of meat for each of them, which made the customers who volunteered more motivated.

However, the roasting time of the whole lamb is still a bit long, and the customers who were shaking the handle nearby kept changing one after another.

"Boss Li, I'm sober now."

"Let me do it. I can bench press 140 kilograms."

Li Rui looked at the time, then opened the side door of the roasting barrel to check the temperature of the roasted whole lamb.

He took out a knife and cut cuts on the sheep's body one after another.

When Xiao Ma saw the boss getting started, he thought the lamb was ready.

"Are you done yet, boss?"

"Another hour. Add some more charcoal."

Time is the key to making ingredients delicious.

Li Rui feels that every minute in the shop is the best embodiment of living in the present and enjoying the present moment.

Grease, charcoal, rotation, grilling.

Brush with oil and turn over each time.

And before taking it out of the oven, sprinkle the barbecue seasoning all over the lamb for the last time.

Let the aroma of meat and the spicy flavor of seasoning fully blend.

This fragrance is then spread to every corner of the store through the evaporation of high temperature heat waves.

It moved all the diners present.

The boss stopped what he was doing and started cutting the mutton.

He and Xiao Han put on gloves and moved the roasted whole lamb to the large chopping board.

When the mutton touched the chopping board, some small particles of the barbecue seasoning began to splash everywhere, and the fat on the mutton ran across the rugged surface and dripped slowly.

Boss Li raised his knife and slashed.
Knife up and down.

Bringing out afterimages.

The technique of butchering an ox was already well-known to him.

The blade moved between the bones and quickly cut out pieces of mutton.

Xiao Han sorted the pieces of meat and put them on the plate.

The people gathered around the bar were amazed at the boss's craftsmanship:
"This is so enjoyable to watch."

"What a quick knife!"

At the same time, I am a little curious:
"Boss, are you only roasting one lamb today?"

"Which table ordered it?"

While cutting the meat, Li Rui replied, "Everyone here gets a share!"

"Fuck, Boss Li is awesome!"

"Let's have a drink together. This round is on my table." Lao Wang, the beer supplier next door, lost no time in adding to the lively atmosphere of the shop.

"Thank you, boss, thank you, brother. Cheers to you."

"Tonight we won't stop until we're drunk!"

"Ah, it's so lively tonight. It feels really good."

"I wish Boss Li better and better business."
