Chapter 129 Braised Chicken

Even Leng Su, who felt his scalp tingling when he saw the eel, couldn't help but sigh, "It smells so good!"

Leng Yan is going to make sizzling eel hotpot and braised eel, so that no matter whether the lunch customers want to have noodles or rice, they can get a portion of eel.

While Leng Yan, her parents and Aunt Liu were doing their own jobs in the kitchen, busy preparing various dishes for lunch, Zhan Ying, who was busy in the front hall, entered the kitchen.

"Master Yan, Master Sheng and Master Xiao are here. They said they want to host a banquet for the teachers in the academy today and would like to order some dishes individually. I would like to know what dishes you can prepare at this time?"

"Did Master Sheng and the others make any other requests?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yan asked while busying herself with her work.

Zhan Ying shook her head, "No, Master Sheng just told you to cook whatever you want, but the dishes should be a little spicy, as the teachers in the academy like spicy food."

"Okay, I have an idea. Go report back to Master Sheng and tell him that everything must be properly arranged for him."

Sheng Yuxing has helped their family a lot recently, and this favor must not be forgotten.

So Leng Yan finished her work and started thinking about what dishes to make. The spicy crayfish that has been popular in the shop recently must be prepared, and stir-fried shredded eel and spicy diced rabbit...

As she was thinking, she looked at the food shelf beside her, caught a glimpse of potatoes and three-yellow chicken, and instantly thought of the spicy and delicious braised chicken she had eaten in her previous life.

Although it is simple, it tastes really good. The potatoes are cut into dice and the three-yellow chicken is chopped into pieces.

After that, put the chicken pieces in a pan and stir-fry until they are slightly browned. Then add the onions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, and add the prepared sauce to color and flavor, then add water and simmer.

After simmering on low heat for a quarter of an hour, remove the lid and add potato cubes and continue to simmer.

When the chicken pieces are tender and soft, and the potatoes are soft and tasty, you can turn up the heat to reduce the sauce, add green and red peppers for garnish, and then a braised chicken with good color, aroma and taste is ready to be served. If it is served with a bowl of rice, it will be a perfect accompaniment to rice.

They were busy in the kitchen, and diners from the front hall came in one after another.

Regular diners decide in advance what they want to eat, and as soon as they enter the store they run to the window they have targeted to grab the food first, to avoid having their favorite food snatched away later.

The new customers who had just entered the shop were somewhat shocked by the scene.

"Hey, Brother Qian, this way."

Li San is a repeat customer of Leng's snack shop. His family runs a small business and has some money, so he comes to Leng's for a meal almost every day.

Today, it happened that a partner from another place came to discuss business. It was almost time for dinner, so in order to welcome the partner who came from afar, Li San immediately brought people to Leng Ji.

"Come here, this is their signature rice bowl. You can't eat something this delicious anywhere else."

Li San introduced the signature dishes enthusiastically, but the man was stunned.

"Brother Wang, take a look at what you want to eat. Don't be polite. Their dishes are all delicious."

The man whose brother was replaced felt a little disappointed when he saw this. Every time he came to Hulu Town before, Li San, as the host, would take him to Zuixianlou, the best restaurant in the town.

But this time it was an ordinary small shop, which made him wonder if there was something wrong with their cooperation.

Therefore, due to this impression, his first feeling was that this shop was used by Li San to please him, and the food must be average.

"Brother Li, since you come here often, you should come and have some."

His mind was full of thoughts but he didn't show it on his face. Although he resisted, looking at the plates of dishes, he inexplicably felt the urge to try some.

Li San also thought this made sense, so he skillfully ordered two rice bowls. He wanted to order a few more dishes separately, so he asked the waiter to recommend some.

"Little Brother, are there any new dishes in the shop today?"

"It really does."

Er Qiang, who was standing next to him, heard this and hurriedly introduced, "Today we have new dishes, such as sizzling eel casserole and braised eel, both of which are very delicious."

"Eel, this is a good thing. Just hearing the name of the dish makes it smell delicious."

Li San swallowed his saliva, and couldn't decide which dish to order.

"Okay, then give us one portion of both dishes."

Only children have to make choices, while adults of course want everything. We have the conditions to do so. Li San waved his hand, ordered the dishes, and sat down with Brother Wang.

After a while, the rice and several dishes they ordered were served on the table one by one.

"Sir, the dishes you ordered have been served. Please enjoy your meal."

After checking the dishes, Erqiang left easily.

"Brother Wang, please try it." Li San actively recommended

The aroma of the food is so overwhelming that looking at the table full of food makes one can’t wait.

Brother Wang followed the instructions, took a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly and he kept giving thumbs up.

"This... this eel stew tastes so fresh and tender, without even a hint of earthy smell. It's really delicious!"

"Isn't it? It tastes good."

Seeing that he liked it, Li San felt very happy that he had successfully recommended it to him. "Let me tell you, their food is delicious and their business is booming. It's a good thing we came early today, otherwise you might not be able to get a seat even if you queue up."

When Wang Jian heard this, he turned his head to look in front of the shop. Sure enough, a long queue had formed in front of the shop without him noticing.

In an instant, he looked guilty and embarrassedly dispelled the doubts in his mind.

It's not that there is a problem in the cooperation, nor is it perfunctory, but Li San really wants long-term cooperation, so he is so sincere and takes me to eat delicious meals instead of just for the sake of face. I am narrow-minded.

There was still a steady stream of diners in the front hall. After Leng Yan helped prepare the meals for the private rooms in the kitchen, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat aside to rest for a while.

After the busy lunch session gradually came to an end, Leng Yan sat behind the counter again to help with the accounting.

Afterwards, she calculated the time, knocked on the door and entered the box, wanting to ask Sheng Yuxing and his group whether they were satisfied with today's meal.

Sheng Yuxing gave a thumbs up in response, "Absolutely, the taste is absolutely wonderful, especially the braised chicken and the stir-fried shredded eel. They are simply delicious and go well with rice. You can't stop eating them once you start."

"It's true."

An old man in the box stroked his goatee and shook his head slightly.

"This braised chicken is spicy, tender and tasty. It's really wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yan guessed that this person should be the teacher that Sheng Yuxing and others wanted to invite for a banquet.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

She bowed slightly as a greeting, then exchanged a few more words of pleasantries before leaving the box.

Upon seeing this, Sheng Yuxing specially followed out to express his gratitude.
