"Lin, you're from the Central Plains, right? If I remember correctly, braised mutton originally came from your region?"
Dai Jianli, upon hearing about making braised mutton, his previously sluggish demeanor perked up.
He seems to go through life without worries, either pondering food or entertainment, or looking for ways to tease other head chefs.
He's like a child with ADHD and can't sit still.
For instance, now, as soon as he entered the restaurant in Building 2, he first praised Gu Junli's bubbles and then pinched a small pot of green plants at the front desk, simultaneously flicking a leaf on the nearby bamboo.
Lin Xu laughed and said:
"It's a dish that spread from our small city called Xinxiang. It became popular nationwide in the 1990s, and many people flocked to try braised mutton."
Yinzhou is next to Xinxiang, so Lin Xu knows a bit about it.
Although he was born after the hype over braised mutton, he took a few trips to taste it.
