Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 261 The old man in red clothes who came for supper at night

The shop has a simple decoration, adding a festive atmosphere.

Several small colored lights were hung on the wall, and a pot of bamboo in the corner of the stairs was also dressed up like a Christmas tree.

Customers come and go, and time passes quickly.

In the early hours of the morning, the speakers in the store suddenly started playing bell music:
"Ding ding dong, ding ding dong~"

No one requested a song, so it seemed like Xiaodong acted on his own initiative.

At this moment, a customer happened to come to the door.

The pony went over to meet him.

After seeing the guest's attire, Majingo held back the words he usually used to welcome customers.

She changed her words and said:
"M-Merry Christmas?"

The customer’s thick white beard and eyebrows obscured his facial expression.

After hearing Xiao Ma's greeting.

I also whispered a Merry Christmas.

However, the pronunciation is not as standard as Xiao Ma's.

And it doesn't sound happy either.

The customers who were having supper were whispering about the newcomer.

"Oh my god, Santa Claus has come to the store for a midnight snack?"

"He didn't climb up the chimney of the store."

"Is it too late for me to make a wish now?"

Under people's curious gazes, the customer in red clothes went straight to the bar and sat down.

"Boss, grill some chicken skewers."

The voice sounded like a girl's.

Li Rui smiled and said, "There is no turkey, only ordinary chicken."

Santa Claus also smiled.

"Row."

Li Rui turned around and started grilling the skewers.

The chicken skewers used chicken and green onions.

The chicken is chicken thigh meat with skin, which is boneless and cut into small pieces.

Soak in onion, ginger water and rice wine to remove the fishy smell.

Marinate with salt, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper, chicken essence and honey.

Before threading the chicken, you must also fix the position of the chicken skin and chicken meat.

The green onion is the familiar Hedong green onion.

Only the white part of the scallion is used, cut into segments of uniform length.

The final skewer consisted of three pieces of chicken with two pieces of green onion in the middle.

After putting it on, you need to trim the shape slightly to make the outer edge look neater.

O◇O◇O-
The skewers are prepared in advance.

After Li Rui took it out, he put it directly into the oven.

The thick subcutaneous fat in chicken legs will release fat during the roasting process.

So no additional oiling is needed.

Just need to get the heat right.

Grill the skin side of the chicken first, then place the skewers in an area where the fire is slightly lower and wait for the fat to soak into the chicken and scallions.

Once the surface is set, set the chicken skewers aside for now.

Adjust the charcoal fire and increase the fire.

Then stick the skewers together so that the other three sides can be grilled evenly.

Before serving, spread a layer of honey sauce on it.

After the chicken skewers are grilled, they are served to the customers' tables.

The little girl dressed as Santa Claus has taken off her hat and her fake beard and eyebrows.

His hair lay limp on his forehead.

It looked like he had sweated a lot before.

The grilled skewers looked very tender and tasted very tempting. Her tired face gradually brightened up after she saw the chicken skewers.

The little girl held the skewer, put the skewer of meat into her mouth and tasted it.

The chicken skin is cooked to perfection.

The appearance is golden and tastes a bit crispy.

As for the chicken thigh meat,

The meat is plump and elastic. When you take a bite, the delicious juice keeps overflowing from the meat.

Because of the infiltration of oil and the stickiness of green onions, the taste is also very fragrant.

It tastes salty and sweet, and is very smooth to the mouth. The scallion segments, as a side dish for seasoning, are also browned on both sides, and taste a little spicy and a little sweet.

The little girl was not spared either.

Santa Claus felt much better after eating the chicken kebabs.

Her outfit was thick, heavy and difficult to take off.

In addition to the red coat and pants, there were originally two silly reindeer dolls trailing behind.

But today in the mall, she encountered a group of naughty kids who gathered together to play with her.

Pulling and tugging, punching and kicking.

In the end, she even lost her reindeer.

The staff in the mall argued with the parent for a long time and finally allowed her to stay until the end of her shift.

It almost made Santa Claus lose money himself.

The little girl ate her midnight snack, leaning back in a relaxed manner on the chair.

She sighed to herself:

"Santa Claus has a hard time, too."

The customer next to her had been noticing her for a long time.

I asked her curiously:
"Did you really go to deliver the gifts?"

The little girl smiled bitterly and said, "No way, I work in a shopping mall."

Then she told him what happened tonight.

After listening to the story of Santa Claus, people lamented that life in every profession is not easy.

Speaking of today's children, they are really too naughty.

Brother Long, who came over for a midnight snack, felt that the children were not to blame.

"Cubs are always like this."

"Just like kittens and puppies, they also hold shoes and socks in their mouths when they are young."

"When children act naughty outside, it only shows that their parents are irresponsible."

What Brother Long said makes a lot of sense.

Who wasn't naughty when they were little?

If children get into trouble outside, parents must take responsibility for them.

All children are thrown into this world without permission.

But being a parent doesn't have to take a test. This may not be fair.

Some of the people who come here for midnight snacks are already parents.

In the eyes of their parents, all children are good children and treasures. They can better understand what the middle-aged man said.

If children are not disciplined well, there will always be someone to teach them a lesson in society.

Next to Brother Long was his younger brother, Shrimp Thread, who often came with him for midnight snacks.

This young man has matured a lot recently following Brother Long.

The weird tattoo has been washed off, and I have signed up for the adult college entrance examination and study every day.

Behaving more and more like a civilized person.

At this time, Xia Mingming saw Xiao Ma sitting nearby and took out a small box of apples from his arms.

Pushed to Majingo's position.

"Sister Ma, this is for you." While speaking, Xia Mingming did not dare to turn his face towards her.

The pony was very excited to receive the gift.
"Ah, thank you!"

Then he waved the apple in his hand to the boss:
"Boss, this is for me alone!"

Li Rui gave her a thumbs up.

Then he returned to the barbecue and grilled two more lamb kebabs.

If the chicken skewers were called yakitori, they would still be very expensive. But in Li Rui's shop, the chicken skewers were cheap and affordable.

That may be why this little Santa girl chose chicken kebabs.

If the reindeer is lost, sheep can also pull the cart.

After roasting, Li Rui gave two skewers of lamb legs to Santa Claus.

"Taste this."

The smell of mutton reminds the customer, "I didn't order mutton skewers, boss."

However, the store has always had the habit of giving customers free samples of some dishes.

What’s more, today a Santa Claus came over for a midnight snack.

Li Rui smiled and said:

"For you, Santa Claus."

"thank you boss."
