Early the next morning, the chef arrived, started making lamb tripe soup, and brought a few iron rods used to prop up the lamb, making it easier to baste the meat with oil while grilling.
Since it was his own skill, apart from the two apprentices he brought along, no one else was allowed in the kitchen.
And according to Jiang Hu, even during yesterday's marination, the spice mix was kept a secret.
The chef claimed that the spices brought by the Jiang family were bought for the same price as his own blend.
But actually, the ones Jiang Hu and the others bought yesterday mostly needed to be ground into powder before they could be used to marinate the lamb.
And since there wasn't enough time yesterday, they definitely weren't using the spices they had bought.
As for what exactly was in the spice mix, they weren't privy to that information.
But this also simplified things; since they'd entrusted the food to the chef, he would naturally make sure everything was prepared well.
