"The bamboo rats here are of Cantonese flavor. Are you used to it?" When Boss Shao heard the request for four sets of bamboo rats, he tacitly agreed.
A restaurant owner was not afraid of gluttons, let alone a doctor he was familiar with.
For Boss Shao, two sets of bamboo rats per table was not so much a purchase limit, but a sales strategy. It was just like how each person was limited to buying three houses.
Zuo Cidian patted his stomach and said in the tone of a regular customer, "As long as the food is delicious, I'll be used to any flavor."
"That's good." Boss Shao chuckled and said, "Then, do you want thinner or fatter ones? One set, between two and a half to two and a half pounds. "
"Killed on the spot?" Zuo Cidian's eyes lit up again.
Boss Shao smiled and said, "Of course."
Zuo Cidian gave him a thumbs up and said, "Then, two fat ones and two thin ones. You pick as you see fit."
"Two that are two and a half pounds and two that are two and a half pounds?" Boss Shao confirmed the quantity.
Lu Wenbin coughed and said, "You can't just look at the weight. Some bamboo rats may only weigh two to three pounds. They don't move much, and their meat is also fat. Some bamboo rats may weigh four to five pounds, but they exercise every day, so they still have a lot of muscle, and they eat thin ones."
"Doctor Lu is right." Boss Shao waved his hand. "Why don't you come over and pick one yourself? I'll kill whichever one you choose."
"I can't bear to see this." Lu Wenbin waved his hand and said, "However, based on my experience, bamboo rats should be very similar to pig trotters when roasted, right? You have to choose the kind that's meaty. It can't be fat. It has to be fat with muscles hanging on it, and it has to be fat evenly distributed … "
Boss Shao listened and laughed. "Roasted bamboo rats are more like roasted suckling pigs. They're all roasted until the skin is shiny … "
"You have to roast them until the oil inside is extracted. Only then will it be fragrant, but when it's time to eat, you'll be eating collagen and that tenacity." Lu Wenbin instantly interrupted Boss Shao's words and imagined a set of bamboo rat roasting strategies.
Lu Wenbin had to deal with more than a thousand pig trotters in a week, and he had to provide for a hospital with thousands of medical staff, tens of thousands of patients, and their family members. In ancient times, even a normal prefecture city would not have the population turnover and spending power of Yun Hua Hospital. In other words, a pork trotter expert like Lu Wenbin also had the ability to make a name for himself in ancient times.
Therefore, even though Lu Wenbin had never roasted a bamboo rat before, he could still ramble on.
Boss Shao could not help but nod when he heard this. He actually started to think about it. "You're quite theoretical when you put it this way."
"Is that so?" Lu Wenbin laughed proudly and asked, "How did you do it?"
"It's simple for us. After killing the bamboo rats, we just need to marinate them a little, stick a stake in them, and roast them over a charcoal fire. Once the cold air inside is forced out and the whole thing is heated up, I'll spread some oil and the barbecue sauce I made. " When Boss Shao said this, he raised his head confidently. "I've been doing barbecue for twenty years. I can't say anything else, but I've never fallen behind when it comes to barbecuing. Do you know why I sell bamboo rats in my shop? "
"Because you want to make money?" Lu Wenbin looked at the decoration of the shop. There was only one Shao family's restaurant, and the decoration and kitchen utensils were as good as his BMW.
Boss Shao held his breath and snorted. He said, "There are many ways to make money. I made bamboo rats because bamboo rats …"
"They're sold at a higher price!" Ma Yanlin deliberately answered first, and his girlfriend chuckled.
"It's because bamboo rats need to be cooked properly!" Boss Shao sighed in exhaustion. "Who's going to choose bamboo rats with me?"
"I'll go!"
"Me!"
Yu Yuan and Guan Fei shouted at the same time.
Ma Yanlin's girlfriend, Wei Man, stood up silently. Her gaze wandered over Yu Yuan and Guan Fei's heads, and there was a hint of playfulness and profound meaning in her eyes.
Yu Yuan and Guan Fei felt pressured, and they stood up as well, unwilling to show weakness.
Wei Man's gaze continued to wander between Guan Fei's face and Yu Yuan's head.
…..
Boss Shao rented two old bungalows dozens of meters away from the kitchen to temporarily raise bamboo rats. A group of gray bamboo rats were isolated outside, and they were the ones that could be chosen today.
"It's so cute. It's furry. It's a little adorable, and its limbs are so short … "
"Is this a bamboo rat?"
"Bamboo rats eat bamboo? Where's the poop? "
Regardless of their personalities, the three girls were somewhat conquered by bamboo rats.
Boss Shao stood by the side without saying a word. After running a restaurant for a long time, he knew that there were some sales that he did not need to urge the customers.
Especially when three female customers gathered together, anything could happen.
"Are we really going to eat bamboo rats? It's so cruel. "
"It feels a little like a rabbit."
"Are they usually so hard?"
Boss Shao let the three female customers play with his bamboo rats and their derivatives. He did not participate in the discussion.
Finally, Guan Fei, who was the youngest, was the first to be unable to hold it in. After touching the third honest bamboo rat, she said loudly, "Boss, how can you bear to roast bamboo rats? Look at them, they don't even know how to resist! "
Guan Fei's question was the sharpest, and it went straight to Boss Shao's heart.
Boss Shao was stunned for a few seconds because of the question, and he slowly said, "Because it's really delicious."
Guan Fei's imposing manner immediately stagnated.
This answer was very reasonable, but how could she solve it?
"I want the fattest and longest one." Wei Man, a female doctor who graduated from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, was the first to make a choice, and she locked on to the core quality of bamboo rats — fat!
"Okay!" Boss Shao did not waste time. He picked up the fattest and longest bamboo rat from behind and threw it into the iron cage next to him.
Yu Yuan did not want to be outdone. She imitated Boss Shao and picked up the bamboo rats one by one. She rubbed their stomachs and chose another one.
The second bamboo rat was thrown into the cage.
Everyone looked at Guan Fei in unison.
Guan Fei pursed her lips, and the Armani red bean sand-colored lip gloss reflected a light that puzzled the bamboo rats.
"I want the white one."
Guan Fei quickly made a decision.
Boss Shao helped to choose a moderately sized bamboo rat, pulled it out, and handed it to his subordinate who was waiting by the side.
"We can go back now." Boss Shao chuckled and returned with the three of them.
When they arrived at the shop, they saw a temporary emergency hospital bed set up in the corner of the room. Ling Ran and Lu Wenbin wore gloves and were busy in front of the bed.
"What's wrong?" Boss Shao's tone was calm, and he was as steady as the director of the Emergency Department.
"When a customer was eating skewers, a steel rod pierced his mouth, and his mouth was full of blood." The employee in front of the operating table had been working in the Shao family's restaurant for more than half a year, and he answered the boss's question calmly.
Boss Shao nodded. "It's a superficial wound."
Even though he said that, Boss Shao still went forward and offered his condolences.
"It's okay, we'll just treat it as a pre-meal exercise." Zuo Cidian unfolded the first aid kit in front of the hospital bed and took on the responsibility of a scrub nurse. He also answered in a very gentlemanly manner.
Ling Ran nodded to show his agreement, which was rare.
Boss Shao smiled bitterly. "I've seen people eat skewers until their mouth bleeds, but I've only seen people with skewers stuck in their faces seven or eight times at most."
"We'll get the skewers for you." Ling Ran reminded the patient and slowly began to work.
For him, he had seen a lot of such emergency cases, but he rarely had the chance to operate.
