After traveling through time, the restaurant I opened became a big hit

Chapter 102 Preparations before the Food Festival

In fact, before Jiang Li and his friends, many people had prepared Mongolian barbecue.

But they lack a certain charm, a charm that would make people want to taste it as soon as they smell it.

So in the Mongolian barbecue area, no team passed.

But when the judges smelled the barbecue made by Jiang Li and his team, they actually made judgments in their hearts.

As Mongolians, they can tell whether it is authentic Mongolian barbecue just by smelling it.

If you say it is particularly authentic, like the one made by Qimuge, it is unlikely.

After all, how can they, who have only learned for two days, compare with Qimuge, who has been making barbecue for decades.

But among the teams participating in the food festival, they are considered to be among the best.

After tasting the skewers, Jiang Li and his friends successfully passed the selection.

Next, we will start preparing for the food festival.

The atmosphere at the food festival was really tense because he was on a tight schedule.

As soon as they returned to the residence, Jiang Li and his friends had no time to rest. They only had time to drink a sip of water before they were busy eating skewers.

From morning to night, the sliced ​​meat looked like a mountain of meat slices, and there was no way to finish skewering them.

Considering that there were only five of them, Qimuge specially sent his men, including those in his family, to come over.

At a rough glance, there are about a dozen laborers.

But what they have to face are more barbecues, such as grilled fish, grilled shrimp, grilled leeks, garlic shoots, eggplant rolls and so on.

Originally, Jiang Li and the others thought that they would only cook mutton as a meat dish, and if that didn’t work, they could add some beef.

But Qimuge told them that the food festival would not only be attended by local people from Mengshi, but also by tourists from other places.

It’s okay for barbecue to have some special features, but it can’t be all special features. This is to prevent some tourists from getting used to the food.

As Jiang Li's skewers team grew, the efficiency immediately increased.

The skewers were tied together in groups of ten, and two 600-liter freezers were set to the fresh-keeping mode and filled up.

Naturally, this freezer was also rented from Qimuge. Qimuge asked a local friend for help and lent them such a large freezer.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li discussed with several other people and decided to invite Qimugege to have a good meal and some wine before leaving.

After all, they were unfamiliar with the place, and even if Lin Jiaying was a local, he might not be able to lend them such a large refrigerator.

So they really need to express their gratitude to Qimugege, who has given so much.

Since it was a combination, Jiang Li also prepared the staple food, which was toasted steamed bread slices.

Jiang Li and his colleagues were busy until the night, and when it was almost time to finish, they looked to see if there were any items that were missed.

Before leaving, Zhu Xinliang, the big brother of the team, assigned some tasks to several people.

"Tomorrow, Jiang Li and Lin Jiaying, you two will be responsible for collecting money and ordering food. Tian Guizhen will be responsible for preparing the ingredients, and He Anguo and I will be in charge of the barbecue."

"When it's afternoon or someone gets tired of working, we'll take turns. But we must be careful not to mix up the ingredients."

Jiang Li and the others naturally had no objections, and everyone agreed.

After dealing with these, it’s time for the people sent by Qimugege to leave.

After expressing their gratitude once again, those who needed to go home went home, and those who needed to return to their yurts went back to their own homes.

At four o'clock in the morning of the next day, Tian Guizhen's alarm clock rang.

Jiang Li and Lin Jiaying were sleeping soundly. When they heard the alarm, they were so confused that they couldn't react.

With his amazing perseverance, he finally got up and packed up his things. As soon as he walked out of the yurt, he found that He Anguo and Zhu Xinliang had been waiting for a while.

The few of them didn't delay any longer and hurried to the food festival. At half past five, Jiang Li and the others finally arrived.

The entire venue was originally a huge playground, but now it has completely changed.

All kinds of areas and boundaries have been divided.

There is an open space in the middle, which is the performance stage. Performances are held from 2pm to 8pm.

There are also some Mongolian-style decorations on it, such as yurts, horse-head fiddles, etc.

It can be said that it perfectly creates a strong Mongolian cultural atmosphere.

There are also various stalls around the stage.

The food festival officially starts at nine o'clock, so they are now under time pressure and have a heavy task.

Zhu Xinliang directly assigned the tasks. He and He Anguo unloaded everything first, and then began to pack the barbecue tools.

Then the three girls just had to pack up the skewers they had made yesterday.

After assigning the work, Zhu Xinliang and He Anguo got busy right away. They prepared enough barbecue grills, charcoal fire, barbecue tools, etc. in advance.

Make sure the grill is clean and preheated in advance, and use charcoal of good quality and stable burning.

In addition, at Qi Muge's suggestion, they also prepared some fire-fighting tools, such as fire blankets, to ensure the safety of the barbecue process.

After Jiang Li and the others finished collecting the ingredients, they began to prepare the seasonings and condiments for the barbecue.

This is the key to improving the taste, so they have to prepare a variety of sauces.

Such as Mongolian special chili sauce, sesame paste, as well as seasonings such as salt, cumin, and pepper.

At the same time, you can also prepare some dipping sauces, such as mashed garlic, vinegar, etc., to increase the diversity of taste.

When it gets really busy, time passes really fast. Before nine o'clock, there are already a lot of people gathered outside.

Jiang Li and his friends already have a stove and charcoal fire, so barbecue is hot.

Add to that the scorching sun, and it's doubly hot.

The competition hasn't even started yet, but Zhu Xinliang and He Anguo are already wearing vests and are covered in sweat.

There was no other choice, so Jiang Li and Lin Jiaying walked around the venue for a long time before they finally found the person in charge of logistics.

This food festival is not the first time it has been held, so they are all very familiar with it.

I asked two masters to weld a steel frame and put a sunshade on it to cover the barbecue stall.

The people at other stalls in the backstage were so envious.

But before I could say anything, it was already nine o'clock.

As soon as the guardrail outside was pulled open, the crowd rushed in.

At nine o'clock, people started to come to the stalls.

Jiang Li and her friends chose to use barbecue early in the morning to awaken everyone's taste buds.

The smell of barbecue was so overpowering that it spread all over the place. More people flocked over.

The other stalls were still greeting customers, but Jiang Li’s stall was almost full.

There are still people coming in behind.

Many foreign tourists who have never tasted Mongolian barbecue are very curious about the difference between this kind of Mongolian barbecue and the barbecue they usually eat.

When it comes to barbecue, who can compete with it?

It’s not like they’ve never tasted anything this delicious.

It's because of the barbecue smell that everyone refuses to leave. They have to eat a bunch of skewers first!
