Gourmet: Midnight Vending

Chapter 193: The Coal Boss's Taste Is Never Wrong


Having gathered enough orders, Chen Mo finally began to get to work.

This dish requires making many servings at once, which can save a lot of time. Lu Yingqiu was in charge of making Bang Bang Chicken, which made things easier for Chen Mo.

The rabbit heads that had been braised for a long time were already poured into a large bucket. Chen Mo scooped out dozens of rabbit heads and counted them, finally placing thirty-one rabbit heads into the pot.

The final cooking process was incredibly simple. He scooped a ladle of the red and rich braising sauce from the bucket into the smaller, black pot, and turned the heat to high to reduce the sauce. Chen Mo held the pot handle with his left hand, letting the thirty-one rabbit heads soak in the red sauce, the fierce heat making the sauce boil vigorously.

Once the boiling had reduced the sauce to halfway up the rabbit heads, Chen Mo's left hand started to move, causing the rabbit heads and sauce to rotate in the black pot in a relatively still state of motion.

"Flip them!"

When the rabbit heads and sauce rotated to the edge of the black pot, his left hand abruptly exerted an inward force!

The rabbit heads and sauce leapt into the air, remaining in the sauce even in mid-air, and the black pot was poised steady to catch them back.

This skillful move immediately caught the eye of those waiting in line, making their eyes light up.

"Wow, in just a few days, Boss Xiao Chen's skills have improved again!"

"These rabbit heads are 20 yuan each, this move alone is worth at least 10 yuan!"

"I don't get it, brother, does doing it this way make it taste better?"

Chen Mo was intensely focused, using high heat to continue reducing the sauce even after flipping the rabbit heads. The sauce noticeably lessened until Chen Mo gently scooped it with a black spoon, and the sauce in the pot became very thick.

In fact, there was only a little bit of sauce left in it, with most of it turning into red oil!

A handful of white sesame seeds and green onions were evenly sprinkled into the pot, and the spicy rabbit heads were ready!

As for the utensils, Chen Mo chose a plate.

Ten rabbit heads were neatly arranged in a circle on a plate, so visually spicy and potent that it made one's mouth water just looking at it.

This dish, only those who have truly experienced it know its value in every bite!

Su Shasha not only had to bring in the chickens from the shelf but also took on the task of serving the meals. Dunzi, Fang Zhizhong, Zhang Feng, and Du Qiming were no longer in the line.

They were soaking in the Wulong Pool, with floating trays in front of them.

"Weren't those bosses in the photos here yesterday?"

"Wow, I, Dunzi, have made it today! Boss Fang, it's all thanks to you! By the way, when are we arranging the dance performance?"

Fang Zhizhong was fully immersed in the pool scented with Wulong tea, sweating but feeling extremely comfortable. He shook his head slightly, "No rush. You guys just don't get it."

The three of them sought his guidance, as they were less experienced than Fang Zhizhong in the art of 'enjoyment'.

"First of all, don't rush to eat when the food comes up. See, here it comes now."

The four of them pushed their trays to the edge of the sauce, and Su Shasha placed the rabbit head plates in each.

Du Qiming felt like his single rabbit head lacked presence among everyone's plates of ten rabbit heads.

Fang Zhizhong continued, "The flavor is great! But everyone shouldn't rush to eat."

Dunzi and Zhang Feng swallowed saliva wildly; just the sight of the food made them hungry, and the smell made their stomachs rumble!

"Wait, you have to wait until all the dishes are ready before you start eating."

Su Shasha came over with the stewed lamb with green onions.

The lamb rib meat was already cooked and only needed to be sliced and then stewed in lamb broth; Chen Mo prepared it very quickly.

Each plate held 15 slices of lamb, topped with a thick lamb sauce. This dish, placed on the tray, wafted a fresh lamb aroma that cut through the strong flavor of the rabbit heads, as though a refreshing stream in turbulent times!

"When all the dishes are served, we leave the pool, sit on chairs, and savor the food slowly while watching the performance. Otherwise, eating in the pool doesn't make sense!"

At this moment, the lamb soup noodles were ready too.

In five or six seconds, a noodle could be pulled out directly, boiled in the lamb soup, and the prepared seasonings were added to the bowl, making it effortless.

Wow!

Fang Zhizhong stood up from the pool with his tray, "Boss He, thanks in advance!"

He Chunming had been waiting patiently, and today he didn't queue up at all.

Although he was also tempted, serving Boss Fang well was the priority!

"Nana! Quick, help out!"

Several female masseuses came running, helping Fang Zhizhong sit on a camping chair, setting up their folding dining table with a white tablecloth, and placing a bouquet of roses neatly on it.

On the table were perfectly arranged rabbit heads, long slices of lamb, a mound of shredded chicken soaked in red oil, and finally, a bowl of lamb soup noodles that smelled of wheat, with slightly yellow noodles and a creamy white soup base!

The trio of Dunzi saw this and rose from the water.

Truly worthy of Old Fang!

When it comes to enjoying life, he knew his stuff. Eating should be done in style, sitting here comfortably — what's the point of eating in the pool?

The trio of Dunzi sat in a row next to Fang Zhizhong.

In a daze, for a moment, Du Qiming felt he was no longer just a construction worker, but the king of this place!

Four female masseuses dressed in red gauze served them face-to-face, placing a white towel on their laps, lifting up a foot to rest on the towel.

Slap! Slap!

The skilled motions began, slapping lightly, giving the four men such pleasure that their eyes rolled back.

"Now, the real eating begins!"

Fang Zhizhong picked up two slices of lamb meat at once, opened his mouth wide, and ate!

This bite of meat brought such delight that Fang Zhizhong curled his toes. Nana diligently straightened them, "You must be strong, a sign of good kidneys!"

Such excellent service deserved a reward!

Fang Zhizhong mumbled, "Promote her."

He Chunming quickly noted it down, giving Nana a big thumbs-up in his heart — truly a Gold Medal Salesperson!

The lamb's fresh and rich flavor left the taste buds in a state of ultimate pleasure, like being gently patted to sleep by your mother.

Then the trio simultaneously picked up a chopstick-full of shredded chicken each.

"Tsk, this chicken is as good as braised chicken, even if it's shredded, tasting it carefully reveals an abundance of juices inside — worthy of Boss Xiao Chen!" Fang Zhizhong spoke highly of it.

Although the other three might not be as articulate, their feelings matched his.

The taste buds, which had almost been lulled into sleep, were suddenly activated by the unique flavors of Sichuan, with the chicken's fresh aroma and a slight mix of spiciness, sweetness, and sourness perfectly blending together to create a richly layered flavor.

"Sluurp~"

Fang Zhizhong took a sip of lamb soup, followed by a bite of noodles.

"Not bad, not bad, the noodles taste familiar, and the soup is quite good."

The lamb soup noodles washed away the last trace of spice on the tongue, bringing the taste back to its original state.

Fang Zhizhong put on disposable gloves on both hands.

He called out to LuLu, who was still in line, "Let the performance begin, oh, and give them all a hundred yuan raise on me."

"Got it!" LuLu saluted excitedly on the spot.

A number of dance majors from the communication department got ready!

As hauntingly beautiful music began to play, the tall dancers started their performance in perfect unison.

"Dream lover~ Familiar face~"

Fang Zhizhong nodded in satisfaction — now that's what you call taste. After mixing with coal bosses for so long, wouldn't I know what true enjoyment is?

What's so special about the sheer veils of Spring Courtyard Snow? True bosses prefer the classical myths!

The rabbit head, break it open!
