Three people now.
The third person Liu Yang noticed, he felt fortunate that he hadn't startled them into action. If a fight broke out, he and Wang Zhifeng might not be able to handle all three of them.
Unaware of all this, Chen Mo continued to busy himself with his grand feast.
The lamb soup had finally cooled, with a layer of mutton fat floating on top, and the broth beneath slightly clearer, though still milky white.
He then placed the lamb ribs into the big black pot and poured the lamb soup inside.
"Wow, when can such big lamb ribs be cooked?" Yu Hui said with a smile on his face even as he voiced his doubts.
The key is that it has to be just right!
That's why restaurants don't like making it these days. First, the ribs must be cooked with lamb soup, which is quite labor-intensive to prepare.
"My pot and stove are quite powerful, we won't need to wait long," Chen Mo said, holding the black ladle and continuing to watch the black pot intently.
Since he was re-cooking the lamb ribs, the soup in the pot had to go through a process from low to high temperature, causing the blood inside the ribs to be drawn out.
Moreover, Chen Mo poured all the lamb fat oil he had previously refined into the pot.
With the presence of fat oil, as the temperature in the pot increased, the aroma of the stewed lamb began to waft out.
Skimming off the froth is an indispensable step in making this dish, much like when simmering the lamb soup.
Once the lamb soup in the pot started to simmer over low heat, the froth visibly reduced. Chen Mo found a strainer, pressed it onto the ribs, and covered it with a large bowl.
"What does this mean?" Yu Hui inquired.
He was trying to learn, thinking this dish didn't seem too difficult at least now, he could try making it himself at home once Boss Xiao Chen wasn't around!
Not to sell, but at least to enjoy himself.
"The strainer pressing can help maximize the stewing of the ribs, and more froth will come out later; covering it with a sea bowl allows the froth to be absorbed out."
The froth is absorbed onto the top of the strainer, preventing it from merging back into the soup base.
Then covering the pot with a lid, Chen Mo clapped his hands, "Alright, just wait, everyone."
But speaking of which, Chen Mo looked at the Cadillac, "This Dunzi, really, you have to snatch someone's food even when they're eating."
Last time, stealing Boss Fang's fried rice, it was still in the middle of the night, snatch and run. This time he just snatched it and ate it in front of everyone.
Sanda Ko Ko Pig Heart!
Then Chen Mo asked, "Does what he's doing count as robbery?"
Liu Yang felt awkward.
Recalling the knowledge in his mind, "Firstly, this guy didn't use violence or threats to take food, and he even paid for it, so this shouldn't count as obtaining others' property illegally."
"In that case, what he's doing is taking advantage of others' inattention, which might constitute as theft. But even so, at most he just stole something worth 20 Yuan, just an administrative penalty, a warning at most."
After hearing Liu Yang's analysis.
Chen Mo couldn't help but have newfound respect for Dunzi; to snatch food from others, this second-generation demolition must have really studied the criminal law, otherwise, he couldn't have grasped the boundaries so precisely.
Waiting is always boring.
Yu Hui dragged Chen Mo to a stone table to play chess, Chen Mo hadn't played in a long time and immediately got into the zone.
The Feng Family's Three Brothers stood behind Yu Hui, offering advice with no sense of fair play at all.
Liu Yang, Wang Zhifeng, and LuLu stood behind Chen Mo, occasionally interjecting comments, and both sides were evenly matched, and it was lively!
Shao Hailong and the others just stared intently at the Cadillac.
Dunzi was also taken aback, thinking, anyway, they couldn't get in, they wouldn't smash his car, right?
I'd better fold back the car seat and take a nap!
Soon, three more people arrived at the Cultural Square.
Liu Yang nudged Wang Zhifeng with his elbow, still maintaining a watchful chess-observing pose, saying, "Check him! Move the horse down and check him!"
Wang Zhifeng immediately got it, with the tip-off, all six were ready, "Are you stupid? Blocked by the horse leg, do you even know how to play chess?"
Chen Mo surveyed the game as if controlling the fate of lives on the chessboard, choosing after consideration to advance a soldier.
Liu Yang started to worry.
He originally intended to wait for the group to gather, let them start their crime, and then call reinforcements to arrest them directly at the crime scene!
Didn't expect such an incident to happen midway, these six people seem dead set on waiting for that Cadillac owner to come out.
What the heck should he do?
Anyway, they won't escape for now, so Liu Yang decided to wait and see.
Yu Hui moved his cannon across the board behind the horse, shouting excitedly, "Cannon behind the horse!"
Chen Mo thought long and hard, "Damn it, I quit, I quit. What kind of person are you."
Yu Hui pulled Chen Mo, "No, no, let's have another game! I'll let you have a chariot in this round!"
Anyone who plays chess knows how exciting it is to find a manageable opponent, and Yu Hui wouldn't easily let go of such a good opponent.
But Chen Mo wouldn't fall for it, "The lamb ribs will be ready soon, don't hold me back, or they'll be overcooked and won't taste good."
Yu Hui finally let go, still looking unfulfilled.
After a game of nearly half an hour, Chen Mo was utterly defeated, returning to the food truck with a thought in his mind.
"System, can you give me a god-level chess skills skill? I'm going to crush Old Yu later."
[...]
Chen Mo knew, the system absolutely didn't have that feature.
[I can help you to play the Daily Chess app in your mind, but only for this once, not to be repeated.]
Chen Mo was stunned, pointing at Yu Hui, "I'll crush you later!"
Yu Hui didn't take it seriously, "I'll let you take another cannon!"
Chen Mo sneered, watching the light ball slide to the flare point, suddenly flipping open the pot lid!
Removing the sea bowl.
Everyone turned to look, and indeed, many froths had accumulated at the inverted position of the sea bowl.
Carefully removing the strainer, Chen Mo used the black ladle to skim off the froth in the pot, and stabbed at the lamb ribs with wooden chopsticks.
The chopsticks pierced through the meat effortlessly.
"Reaching this level is good enough," Chen Mo muttered to himself.
It's basically fully cooked.
After removing the gamey taste and using lamb soup and lamb fat oil to stew the ribs, although the color looked unappealing, just the most ordinary color of cooked meat, the aroma was incredibly fragrant.
There wasn't a hint of gaminess.
Chen Mo took the ribs out and placed them on the counter, dipping his hands in a cold water basin, then pressing the ribs with one hand and tearing out a rib with the other!
The black pot was amazingly efficient; in just thirty minutes, the ribs were almost falling off the bone, and the ribs tore off effortlessly.
Re-dipping hands in cold water, continuing to tear ribs!
As Chen Mo tore a rib, Yu Hui licked his lips and asked, "Can I have a bite?"
There wasn't a single hair on the rib, yet it looked so tempting.
As he tore another, Liu Yang grabbed it.
Continued tearing...
Shao Hailong and six others felt troubled.
Straight up got in line, wanting to grab a bone to gnaw from everyone else.
Not long after, all the ribs were torn off, leaving the lamb rib meat wobbly on the cutting board, practically begging to be picked up and devoured for ultimate satisfaction!
