Chapter 504 The disappeared authentic twice-cooked pork
I had asked President Xiong for this number before. It was the phone number of the head of the breeding station, and this breeding station was located in Mopan Mountain in the northern suburbs of Chenghua District.

The reason why I want this phone number is that I still have some thoughts in my heart, and that is about the dish of "twice-cooked pork".

I believe many people have eaten twice-cooked pork. The key to whether this dish is delicious or not lies in whether the pork is good or not. I believe everyone understands this.

In addition, it also has a certain relationship with the side dishes. Among the traditional preparation methods of twice-cooked pork, only the use of garlic sprouts is the most authentic and the most "overbearing" taste.

But what does this have to do with breeding stations?

The phone rang twice and was connected.

"Hello, hello?"

A rougher voice sounded.

"Hi, hello, is this Fang Xuedong, stationmaster Fang?" Chu Yunfeng made a gesture of silencing Yang Ming, and then asked.

"It's me, who are you?"

"Hello, Webmaster Fang, my name is Chu Yunfeng. I am called by President Xiong of the Hotel Association. I have something to ask you. Are you here this afternoon? May I come to visit you?"

There are a lot of things involved here, which cannot be explained clearly over the phone. You can only talk about it in person, and you also need to do an evaluation when you go to the scene.

"Brother Chu, I heard Chairman Xiong talk about you, and you've been on the news for the past two days, so I don't even know about you.

I'll be at work in the afternoon. Come over if you have time. "

As soon as he heard Chu Yunfeng's name, Webmaster Fang immediately thought of it, and the news and TV in the past two days also made a deeper impression on him.

"Okay then, I'll be over in a while, sorry for your trouble." Chu Yunfeng said politely to Station Master Fang before hanging up the phone.

Then he made another phone call and asked Ma Fu to send him and Yang Ming there.

Seeing Chu Yunfeng finish the call, Yang Ming couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately asked: "Brother, which station manager was on the phone just now? Where are we going soon?"

"The breeding station will take you to breed"

Chu Yunfeng joked angrily, Yang Ming is always so impetuous when doing things, he has no plan at all, and he gets very hasty when his brain gets hot.

It seems that he hasn't learned his lesson from the loss last time, so he has to say whatever he wants.

"Ah~? Forget it, I'd better go home. I won't go there in the afternoon." Seeing the serious look on Chu Yunfeng's face, I really thought that Chu Yunfeng would do such a thing.
"Okay, just kidding you, let's go to the breeding station to look at pig breeds. Aren't we going to raise pigs? Why don't we choose these pig breeds carefully?"

Chu Yunfeng felt that this guy was really naive sometimes. He was clearly joking just now. Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai were both laughing aside, but he was the only one who took it seriously.

"So you agreed?" Yang Ming jumped up with joy, rubbing his hands and giggling.

"You won't know until you go there whether it's okay or not, but I have to tell you first why I want to go there. Have you ever tried twice-cooked pork?"

Chu Yunfeng suddenly asked a question that sounded silly. Who in Sichuan has never tasted this dish?

This question immediately made Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai curious. Boss Chu obviously meant something in his words. They both planned to leave, but stayed as soon as they heard this.

"Why haven't you tried it before? I can eat two plates of the twice-cooked pork made by your sister-in-law."

Yang Ming always praised his wife's cooking skills, and her confident look made Chu Yunfeng smile.

"Then do you know what kind of pork is used to make the most authentic twice-cooked pork?" Chu Yunfeng asked the most critical question.

Although everyone has eaten twice-cooked pork, it is estimated that many people have never tasted this most authentic taste.

"Isn't this pork all the same? As long as it is a pig raised with grains, everything will be delicious."

In Yang Ming's dictionary, as long as it is raised in the countryside, it is extremely delicious. If you mention other factors, he cannot understand it at all.

Chu Yunfeng felt a bit toothache, and found that talking to Yang Ming was a bit awkward.

"Boss Chu, tell me, I'm quite curious." Xiaoxiao understood what Chu Yunfeng meant, so she asked curiously.

“Actually, the most delicious dish of twice-cooked pork is made with pork from Chenghua pig. This is the most authentic taste.

It is a pity that now everyone can no longer taste the most authentic taste of the past, because the Chenghua pig is about to become extinct. "

Chu Yunfeng also felt very sorry when he talked about this. At least he had never tasted the Chenghua pig. As a chef with ambitions, it had to be said to be a pity.

That's why I had some ideas before and asked President Xiong for the phone number of Webmaster Fang.

"No, there are so many pigs being raised now, so no one is raising them? How could they become extinct?" Ai Ai simply couldn't believe that in today's era of large-scale breeding, there would still be pig breeds on the verge of extinction?

"Why is this impossible, do you know what breeds of pigs are being bred on a large scale now?

I have roughly learned about them before. They are mainly Yorkshire pigs from the UK, Landrace pigs originating from Denmark, Duroc pigs originating from the United States, and Pietrain pigs originating from Belgium.

Oh, by the way, there’s also the big white pig from Ukraine.”

Chu Yunfeng's last words immediately made Xiaoxiao and Ai Ai laugh wildly, making Chu Yunfeng and Yang Ming stare with big eyes, a little confused, what's so funny about this?

"Boss Chu, when you were in school, didn't you ever call your classmates "Ukrainian White Pig" when joking with them?"

Xiaoxiao couldn't restrain her laughter and asked, holding her belly.

"Okay, I don't know what you mean, but what I want to explain is that the growth cycle of these pigs is very short, and they have a lot of lean meat, and the time to be put on the market is short, usually only four or five months, very fast Even just three months.

It takes more than seven months for Chenghua pigs to be ready for slaughter, and it can last up to a year without feed, which limits the breeding of Chenghua pigs.

But
The taste of Chenghua pig is very good. Its meat is tender, fragrant and crisp. It has been bred in Rongcheng for thousands of years.

To make twice-cooked pork, especially authentic twice-cooked pork, the part used is the second-knife pork, which is the part where the butt meat comes a little bit.

Many people like to use pork belly to make it, but when it is made, the pork belly cannot form the "lamp nest" of the authentic method, and the taste is also much worse.

Therefore, if you want to experience the authentic taste of twice-cooked pork, you have to make it with Chenghua pig.

And if you want to make mango sausage, pork that is too lean will not work. It will taste very woody and have a bad taste. "

This is why Chu Yunfeng has never introduced the twice-cooked pork dish. It's not that he doesn't know how to cook it, but that he doesn't have the authentic taste and is unwilling to do it.

"What does that have to do with going to the breeding station?" Yang Ming asked puzzledly. This mango sausage does need more fat to be delicious.

“That’s because Chenghua pigs are almost extinct and can’t be found outside.

In the entire Chenghua area, only the breeding station has about 100 Chenghua pigs with independent bloodlines, and they are now protected for scientific research.

It has become an endangered species."
