"Damn it, this smell is really delicious!"

Lifting the lid of the pot, a strong fragrance wafted out from the pot. Although the chefs present were used to smelling the fragrance of various dishes, they were still attracted by this smell.

The fragrance is strong, but not strong, it smells very comfortable, and the mouth will start to secrete saliva unconsciously.

And the pig's head in the pot changed from white when it was put into the pot to maroon. The stewed soup that could have covered the pig's head didn't even cover half of the pig's head at this time.

After five hours of simmering over low heat, the pork also becomes soft and rotten.

With the slow fire of the stewed soup at the bottom of the pot, the whole pig's head became trembling and even rippled. This is a sign of softening from the inside out, and it will only appear when the heat reaches the extreme.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the pork has reached this level, no matter whether it is braised pork Dongpo pork or pork head meat, just wait and enjoy the deliciousness.

No matter how picky the mouth is, it will be speechless when it encounters such pork.

Wei Gan muttered:
"It's no wonder that the pork skin needs to be placed in the pot when cooking. If the pork skin is facing up, without the infiltration of the stewed soup, the pork skin may shrink due to steaming."

Dai Jianli smiled:

"Not only does it shrink, it dries up and cracks, oozes grease and becomes as chewy as a belt."

At this moment, the pig's head was obviously ready. Lin Xu used chopsticks to carefully remove all kinds of spice residues on the pig's head, and then he and Xie Baomin lifted the pig's head out of the pot with the four corners of the bamboo grate.

When it comes out of the pot, the thick stewed soup has a feeling of drawing, which is because the gelatin in the pork has been stewed out.

Put the pig's head on a large plate, put some lettuce leaves on the thinner parts of the mouth, and then put a large plate on it.

Flip it over quickly, and the pig's head is right side up on the plate.

Take off the plate and bamboo grate above, and then pick out the boiled onion and ginger, and the whole pig's head officially appeared in front of everyone.

The pig's head is large and complete, and because the mouth is supported by lettuce, it looks very plump and round.

The upward arc naturally formed at both ends of the pig's mouth, coupled with the squinting pig's eyes, seems to be smiling.

A dish actually made a smiling expression, which is natural for the literati who ate this dish back then to praise it in poetry.

Huaiyang cuisine has three major characteristics, which are unusual in the ordinary, tasteful in the light, and elegant in the strange.

And the three-head banquet just fits these three characteristics.

Dismantling and stewing the silver carp head represents the extraordinary in the ordinary. The silver carp head is not expensive, but because of the extra steps of dismantling and stewing, it becomes beautiful and magnificent, highlighting the surprise in the ordinary.

Crabmeat lion head represents a mild taste, which seems to be clear and tasteless, but it has a strong taste in the mouth, and the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks. It seems tasteless, but it has indescribable deliciousness.

As for the grilled whole pig's head, it is a representative dish of strangeness and elegance.

The pig's head, a slut that everyone discards, even has a reputation for being cooked in a urinal, but this complicated cooking method makes it so elegant that it can be seen in the vulgar, and it is on the hall of elegance.

In Huaiyang cuisine, as long as the whole pork head is grilled, it is definitely the main dish, side dish, and main dish on the entire table. No matter how good other dishes are, they can only be reduced to supporting roles.

This is the beauty of seeing elegance in vulgarity.

It is also the greatest compliment to this grilled whole pig's head.

The only pity is that the method is too complicated, and it is quite difficult for ordinary people to try it.

If you do it yourself, you can’t do it, and if you spend money to eat it in a restaurant, you may not be able to eat it.

Xie Baomin adjusted the pig's face with chopsticks, and then ordered:

"Wei Gan, use broth to boil some small rapeseed to make a skirt around the pig's head."

"okay!"

Although the pig's head has been out of the pan, this dish is not ready yet.

There is still the last step on the Long March - pouring juice.

Lin Xu used a colander to beat out all the slag in the pot, then turned up the heat, and when the soup boiled, he kept stirring in the pot with a spoon.

In this way, the water in the stewed soup is boiled out.

The pig's head is rich in colloids. During the stewing process, countless colloids have been melted into the soup, so there is no need to thicken it at all, just cook it on high fire.

As the water evaporates, the braised soup in the pot becomes thicker and thicker, and the color becomes brighter and redder.

Ma Zhiqiang looked at this scene and asked curiously:
"This stewed soup is quite similar to the soup of rock sugar elbow. It is the original soup that is tightened. It has a lot of rock sugar and is ruddy in color... Is there any connection between these two dishes?"

Eh?
This question is worth discussing.

Although all the chefs present are not very clear about the history of cooking changes, some people do.

Dai Jianli took a picture of the pig's head and the stewed soup in the pot with his mobile phone, and then sent it to Geng Lishan:
"Mr. Lishan, today the restaurant cooks grilled whole pig's head. The finishing method is very similar to rock sugar elbow. Is there any connection between these two dishes?"

Soon, Geng Lishan replied with a message:
"Don't tell me, there is really a connection. The grilled whole pig's head in Huaiyang cuisine is most likely derived from Shandong cuisine, because in the book "Jin Ping Mei", there is a dish called rock sugar stewed pig's head. This should be grilled. The predecessor of burning the whole pig's head."

The period when Jin Ping Mei was written was also the period when the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was booming. There were frequent exchanges between the north and the south, and it was normal for cooking techniques to be passed on.

The spread of ancient culinary culture basically followed the development of commerce and the promotion of officials.

For example, the famous Kung Pao Chicken is available in Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Guizhou cuisine. The reason is that the person concerned is an official in these places.

Dongpo meat also spread with Su Dongpo's job transfer.

After Geng Lishan finished speaking, he sent another sentence:
"Let's talk about the details when I get to the store. Xiaoyou Lin didn't call me for cooking delicious food. He has to be punished three times in a row!"

Dai Jianli smiled and said to Lin Xu:
"Well, you made brother unhappy."

"I was worried that I couldn't do it well, so I didn't notify too many people. I didn't expect to offend people..."

Lin Xu smiled and continued to stir the pot with a spoon.

When the stewed soup is as thick as glue, scoop up a spoon, and the stewed soup in the spoon is as thick as a large ball of boiled pine gum.

That's it, it's time to pour the juice.

He filled the stewed soup in the pot and poured it evenly over the pig's head.

These stewed soups are rich in fat, and at the same time contain sugar liquid, broth, colloids, etc. The color is oily and red, and the aroma is rich and long. When poured on the pig's head surrounded by rapeseed, the original red pig's head suddenly seems to be plated. layers of amber.

The ruddy color is glowing with oil, but it is so attractive!
"I'll go, isn't this good looking?"

"Looks hungry."

"It's so perfect, hurry up and take pictures, there are still a group of people waiting to take pictures outside."

"That's right, the proprietress has been asking since noon when it will be ready, hurry up!"

"..."

Everyone took their mobile phones and took pictures in a hurry.

In Lin Xu's mind, a system notification sounded:
"Congratulations to the host for making the grilled whole pig's head, which is the first of Huaiyang's three-head feast, and officially opened the branch task of Huaiyang Cuisine. This task consists of several tasks. Details can be found in the task list. Inheritance of Huaiyang cuisine techniques."

Hey, a full set of skills inheritance?
There is something about this.

Just as I was thinking, the system beep sounded again:
"The host has completed the side quest, and made an excellent-level grilled whole pig's head in the first attempt. An additional reward is the excellent-level Huaiyang classic dish-seared mandarin fish in vinegar. Congratulations to the host."

yo!What about extra rewards?

Lin Xu was a little overjoyed, and didn't expect to have extra rewards at all.

But vinegar?

Isn't this a technique in Shandong cuisine?

I remember that when I was a child, my mother liked to cook vinegared cabbage every winter. Does Huaiyang cuisine have similar dishes?

Just thinking about it, a lot of experience poured into my mind.

After reading it, Lin Xu realized that the vinegar here is not the same thing as the vinegar he understood.

Vinegar mandarin fish is a bit similar to squirrel mandarin fish. They are fried in batter and then poured with freshly made sauce. It is very similar to sweet and sour carp, coral fish and other dishes, and the sauce is also a compound sour Sweet type.

However, unlike other types of dishes, the vinegared mandarin fish dish needs to be re-fried during the cooking process, and it needs to be re-fried three times until the fish bones are crispy.

As for the sweet and sour sauce, it is not the traditional red sauce, but similar to the old vinegar used for peanuts, it is black and has a strong vinegar flavor.

There's something about this method... After reading the experience, Lin Xu plans to go back and try it again. If it's delicious, he will show it to the whole family during the Chinese New Year this year!
Thinking of this, he cleaned the pots and utensils, arranged the spoons neatly, wiped his hands, and walked out of the kitchen with a huge round plate.

As soon as I went out, I realized that the kitchen door was already full of people.

Shen Jiayue, Zeng Xiaoqi, Chen Yan, Shu Yun, Dou Wenjing, Shen Guofu, Han Shuzhen, Chen Meijuan, Geng Lele...

People who lost weight and those who didn't lose weight were all shocked by the pig's head on the plate.

"Wow, the color of this pig's head is too beautiful, isn't it?"

"That's right, it's so red, it's red and moist."

"It's still trembling on the plate, just like tofu. The meat is so tender."

"Xu Bao has worked hard. In order not to let you down, I will eat more later."

"Yueyue, are you not losing weight?"

"Go, go, I'm in a hurry with whoever mentions losing weight now."

Lin Xu put the plate on the dining table, and just after putting it away, a group of people surrounded him.

The ruddy pig's head and smiling expression on the plate made everyone feel very interesting, and everyone took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures.

While filming, Shen Guofu urged:
"I heard that the grilled whole pig's head needs to be eaten while it's hot, and the fishy smell will come back as soon as it cools. Hurry up, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

At this time, Niu Chuang came over with a basket of hollow steamed buns.

It is better to eat pork head meat with hollow steamed buns, so that you can directly sandwich it, and taste the tenderness of the pig's head between your lips and teeth. After eating, just let the steamed buns neutralize the greasy feeling of pork.

"Is the filming over? After the filming, I'm starting to divide the meat!"

Lin Xu picked up a chopstick with each hand, inserted the chopstick into the pig's nose arch with his left hand, and stroked the whole pig's head horizontally with the chopstick with his right hand.

When doing this step, the chopsticks of the right hand should stick to the chopsticks of the left hand, so that the line drawn is a straight line.

The chopsticks in the left hand should stand firmly so that the chopsticks in the right hand can completely cut the meat on the plate.

He cut open the pig's mouth, moved the chopstick in his left hand forward three or four centimeters, and continued to cut the whole pig's head horizontally from bottom to top, then turned the direction and cut the pig's head vertically.

After everything was done, Lin Xu combined the chopsticks in his hands, picked up a hollow steamed bun, clamped the position of the pig's nose arch into the steamed bun, and handed it to Shen Jiayue:

"Don't you want to eat it? Help me taste the saltiness."

With the elders around, how could Shen Jiayue dare to eat it, so she handed it to Han Shuzhen next to her:
"Mom, try it. If it's not as delicious as last time, I'll teach Xu Bao a lesson for you!"

Han Shuzhen said:
"Your mother-in-law is here, what are you doing for me? This girl is really ignorant."

But although he said he was ignorant, there was a smile on his face.

Damn girl, you finally know how to be polite.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jiayue immediately stuffed the buns in Chen Meijuan's hands:
"Ha, I'm just giving in for a while, but don't be sad, the next one is yours."

Han Shuzhen: "..."

It seems that it is time to tell my daughter about the custom of beating her daughter before marriage.

Lin Xu put the meat on the plate into the steamed buns one by one, and when everyone picked up the steamed buns, he also sandwiched a piece of pork at the root of the ear for himself.

This part has crispy bones, skin, fat, and lean meat. It is the best part of the whole pig's head except for the nose arch.

Holding the steamed bun and taking a bite, the unique aroma of pork pours into your mouth.

The meat has a sweet taste, but not strong, which just overwhelms the aroma of the marinated ingredients, allowing the meat to be eaten into the mouth, leaving only its own strong aroma.

The stewed soup hanging outside is not only delicious and pleasant, but also makes the pork taste more delicious. The gelatinous taste is eaten into the mouth, as if it can stick the lips.

So delicious!

No wonder this dish is so elegant.

Regardless of the appearance, it should have a place just because of its aroma and taste.

Sure enough, dishes with high status may have a bonus in terms of sales, but in the final analysis, they have to be delicious, which is the foundation of gourmet food.

What Xie Baomin ate was a piece of pork face, half fat and half thin:
"Junior brother cooks this dish well, even if compared with Qiu Qiu, it is only a thread away."

A short line?
Brother, don't comfort me.

This is only the excellence level, and Qiu Zhenhua's shot is definitely the perfect level.

It's not one line behind, it's one level behind.

Lin Xu smiled knowingly:

"It's still incomparable with Chef Qiu, and I'm not very professional in deboning, so I need to practice more."

Dai Jianli took a big mouthful:

"If you want to practice this easily, just learn more from your senior brother. I remember that in the competition of the middle-aged group one year, your senior brother defeated Qiu Zhenhua with this dish..."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ?

Let me go, it turns out that the No.1 pig head maker in Diaoyutai is the senior brother. He used the famous Huaiyang cuisine to beat the master of Huaiyang cuisine. Isn’t this too shrimp and pig heart?

I really want to use trigonometric functions to calculate the psychological shadow area of ​​Chef Qiu at that time.

It should be larger than the Forbidden City.

Xie Baomin smiled and said:

"In the past, I was young and frivolous, which left a bad impression on my peers. If there is another competition like this, I will definitely not tease people by roasting a whole pig's head again."

Shen Jiayue blinked and asked curiously:
"Then what kind of food do you use, brother?"

"Emerald Shrimp Balls."

Everyone: "..."

Sure enough, you are still a young man who owes a fight.

Everyone was eating and chatting when Geng Lishan came upstairs.

Lin Xu originally thought that the old man was going to ask the teacher for a crime, but he didn't expect that he would first say to Geng Lele who was eating pig ears:
"Smelly girl, I asked you if you did it well, but you lied to me that you didn't do it today, and that Chef Dai sent me pictures from the Internet..."

Geng Lele took a hollow steamed bun, obediently put a piece of pork cheek in it, and handed it to Geng Lishan with both hands:
"I don't want to surprise you..."

"What a surprise, I think it's because I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough..."

Geng Lele asked with a smile:
"Just tell me if it smells good or not!"

"fragrant!"

"That's enough. While my grandma is away, I allow you to eat more pork head meat today, but don't take a taxi when you go back, just stroll back, just in time to digest food."

Although Geng Lishan was somewhat dissatisfied with his granddaughter's deception, he still nodded.

Meat has to be eaten, and the body has to be exercised.

Otherwise, I will not be able to eat the delicious food in the future, which will make others uncomfortable.

Xie Baomin used chopsticks to clamp a piece of pig tongue on Geng Lishan steamed bun, and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Lishan, how is my junior brother's pork head?"

"Not bad, it melts in the mouth and the marinade is like glue, but I always feel that Lin Xiaoyou's dish still has some room for improvement."

I'll go, this old man's mouth is powerful enough!
Lin Xu didn't expect that Geng Lishan's tastes were different. No wonder he can be a gourmet. If he wants to taste it, he will only feel that it is delicious.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said:

"Looking back, I will practice more and try to reach the level that Mr. Tateyama is satisfied with."

Today's dish is not small, after all, it is a whole pig's head, but there are many people who eat it, you try one piece and I try two pieces, and after a while, only the small rapeseed for surrounding the whole pig's head and the bottom mat are left lettuce leaves.

"It feels delicious."

"Can Xu Bao make it again some time? This dish really changed my view on pig heads."

"Me too, my brother-in-law's skill is really amazing."

"..."

Lin Xu said:
"Let me take a picture of how to do it later, just to satisfy your hunger."

After eating the pig's head, dinner officially began.

In the supermarket next door, Uncle Yu was eating happily with a grilled sausage when a cute little pink came in:

"Grandpa, I'm coming to see you! Take me to play with Dundun. Last time I made an appointment with him to see him. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Hui walked in with the car keys.

Tongtong quickly blinked at Uncle Yu, like a scumbag who asked his classmates to help cover up.

Uncle Yu felt sorry for his granddaughter, and said to his daughter:

"Xiaohui, take a look at the accounts first. I'll take Tongtong to Linji to play for a while, and I'll pack two roasted chickens for you. Linji's roasted chickens are selling faster and faster, so we have to start early."

"Okay, you can take Tongtong there. Don't let her eat sweets this time. She's going to have tooth decay."

"No, I won't let her eat even if she is lying on the ground rolling and crying today."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Yu left the supermarket with the grilled sausage in one hand and Tongtong in the other.

As soon as she went out, Tongtong gave her grandpa a thumbs up:

"Good acting!"

Uncle Yu ate the remaining grilled sausage in one bite, threw the bamboo sticks into the trash can beside him, and said to Tong Tong:

"If you have tooth decay, you really can't eat indiscriminately...Let's go, before Lin Kee opens, grandpa will take you to find Dundun to play."

Coming to the door of the store, Tongtong suddenly whispered:

"Grandpa, is sister Lele here? I want to say something to her."

Uncle Yu looked down at his granddaughter:
"What? Still want to collude?"

"No, I lied to my mother two days ago that eating mushroom power and wave force seaweed can go to the wisdom class, my mother really bought it, and said she would ask Sister Lele..."

The little girl felt that if she didn't say hello in advance, sooner or later she would be ruined.

That's why she came to Lin Kee Food in such a hurry.

Uncle Yu looked at the time, and it was not yet five o'clock. According to Tsinghua University's schedule, there is a high probability that get out of class is not over yet, because Professor Cui will come to dinner slowly on a shared bicycle at six o'clock every afternoon.

If you want to see Geng Lele, you probably have to wait until six o'clock in the afternoon.

He bowed his head and said:
"Your sister, Lele, hasn't finished school yet. If you want to see her, it will probably be after six o'clock. Let's go, let's play with Dundun first. It is said that it has added a new toy. You can take a look at it later."

"Okay, I like toys the most!"

The little girl followed Uncle Yu to the store, and the waiters were eating on the first floor.

Seeing Uncle Yu coming in, Xiao Dong got up and said hello:
"Uncle Yu, would you like to eat some with Tongtong? Today we ate the roasted pork with skin residue, which is very good for rice and tastes very good."

"No need, we'll eat together as a family later, and now I'm bringing Tongtong to play with Dundun for a while, you go ahead and eat, don't get cold."

When I came to the service desk, Dundun was sleeping soundly from boredom.

"Dundun, I came to see you. How are you doing this week? I am very unhappy, because I have a lot of homework, and my mother has enrolled me in English classes. I can no longer be like the children in the kindergarten class. Play carefree..."

Dundun rolled his eyes, obviously a little confused about what the concept of a kindergarten class is.

It raised its paw and patted the little girl's fleshy hand, as if comforting the younger generation.

This intimate gesture made Tongtong very happy:
"Wow, you finally don't hate me anymore, right? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pulled your tail last time. It's a pity that I didn't grow long, otherwise I would have let you pull it once, no, twice."

"Meow~~~"

Dundun yelled contemptuously.

Is Ben Meow that kind of naive person?

One person and one cat communicated like this, and Uncle Yu sat on the side with a smile.

He was feeling emotional when he saw Geng Lele walking down the stairs in a down jacket, he was taken aback for a moment:
"Lele? Are you leaving school so early?"

"Uh... I don't have class for the next two periods, so I came here early to have lunch... Hello, Mr. Yu, who is this little girl?"

"It's my granddaughter, Tongtong, and this is your sister Lele."

Geng Lele was taken aback for a moment, what does this pink little guy want from me?
Tongtong ran over with a happy face, with a familiar posture:
"Hello, Sister Lele, my name is Tongtong. Although we just met, in my heart, you are my real sister."

Geng Lele: "..."

Being so shameless at such a young age, yes, my Miaomiao Church needs such talents!

She smiled and asked:

"Little girl, what can I do for you?"

If you don't have anything to do, you must have a plan.

Sure enough, when she heard this question, Tongtong's face twitched:
"It's Sister Lele like this, I cheated on food and drink under your banner at home..."

She told the whole story in detail, which made Geng Lele reflect for a while...Why didn't she do this kind of operation when she was a child?
Oh, when I was a child, no one cared about it. I had 100 yuan a day as pocket money, and I could spend whatever I wanted...that's fine.

She knelt down, looked at Tongtong and said seriously:

"That's not right, kid. How can you deceive your elders? You are still cheating on food and drink under my banner. Although I also like to eat mushroom power, this is not the reason for you to deceive people."

Tongtong flat mouth:
"Then what should I do, Miss Lele? You won't tell my mom to let her beat me up, will you?"

"In principle, you should tell your mother, don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small, I'm reporting you for your own good... However, if you join our Miaomiao sect, then Lord Holy Master will Forgive you."

Meow teach?
Tongtong also ignored her nervousness and asked curiously:

"What is Meow Meow Cult?"

"Miaomiaojiao is a mutual-help and friendly group. The members of the church encourage each other and cheer for each other. Everyone is working hard for life. I think you are young but have excellent qualifications. You are very suitable for the development of my teaching."

Geng Lele didn't know if Tongtong could understand, so she was indoctrinated for a while, and then she dragged the little girl to the service desk, where the initiation ceremony began.

Uncle Yu, who was playing with his mobile phone at the side, looked bewildered.

what's the situation?
Why did this girl, Lele, suddenly start preaching?

Was this brainwashed by some organization?
However, thinking about the brainwashing of the students admitted by the wisdom class, it is somewhat unreasonable, and this so-called admission ceremony actually made Dundun scratch his head.

There is a high probability that he is playing games with Dundun.

He didn't care, and continued to swipe the short video on his phone.

See if there are any recent outlets.

The last time it snowed heavily, all kinds of small shovels for playing with the snow, snow balls and other small commodities sold well, so he developed the habit of paying attention to hot short videos.

As long as there are products suitable for supermarkets, we will buy a batch.

In case of collision, wouldn't this be a big profit.

At this moment, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan, who were full of food and drink, came down from upstairs. They were going to play tennis with Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing. After eating so much pork head meat, it was time to exercise.

Seeing Geng Lele and Tongtong standing in front of the service desk, Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"Lele, what are you and Tongtong doing?"

"The entrance ceremony was held. I saw that the little girl was destined to join our Miaomiao Sect, so I dragged her into the Sect and named her the saint of the Miaomiao Sect. How about Sister Yue, this little girl is carved with jade, like Not like the saintess of the White Lotus Sect in the film and television drama?"

Chen Yan pouted:
"You guys are still addicted to playing house, right? Go for a walk, go play ball, Lele, you also go back quickly, and you actually skipped class. Didn't you write enough for the bilingual examination last time?"

After speaking, Chen Yan looked at Zeng Xiaoqi and asked:
"Is the video of the foie gras ready? Send it to me first tomorrow. This time, my brother-in-law is going to slap me in the face. I'll see if the slap is thorough. If it's thorough, I'll give it another shot!"

Zeng Xiaoqi asked:
"What do you want to add to the fire?"

Chen Yan gave a wicked smile:
"Shanren has his own tricks! Anyway... Taste of the World is probably going to stop broadcasting!"

After eating two biscuits, the coding speed immediately increased. I originally wanted to write 128 words, but after thinking about it, our book has been updated for 7100 consecutive days. I can’t break the precept, so I wrote [-] words , I hope everyone can enjoy watching it!
