Food: How did I become a chef when I set up a stall.

Chapter 123 Incredibly delicious braised pork ribs! Full of praise!
  A funeral banquet is a final farewell to relatives in the morning, a feast at noon, and burial in the afternoon.

There were constant cries in the yard.

"My daddy, why is his life so miserable~"

"Dad, why did you leave so early!"

There was also the voice of advice from the aunt in the same village who was doing good things.

"Cui, don't cry. Old Liu is eighty-seven. He has no illness or disaster. It's a joy and mourning."

"We are having a lot of fun today."

"Eat something. You've been here since last night. You must be hungry."

Several juniors were busy helping the elders.

At this time, the smell from the kitchen came over.

My aunts and uncles didn't eat much to begin with, but the meat stewed by Jiang Feng was very fragrant.

After smelling it, my stomach growled non-stop due to the scent.

Everyone was crying sadly and stopped crying.

"What smells so good?"

Someone next to me said.

Liu Erlei is responsible for taking care of his family, especially the mourning relatives. No matter how sad he felt, taking care of his family and guests was a top priority for him.

"Eldest sister, second sister, please wait for a moment while I go to the kitchen to look for anything edible."

"You guys eat something first."

I can't help it, it smells too good.

Liu Erlei also smells good.

I don't know what's cooking in the kitchen.

I heard that Jiang Feng is good at cooking and everything he cooks is delicious, so I just wanted to give it a try.

Moreover, there is a burial in the afternoon, which is all physical work, and a good meal is needed at noon.

Not long after, Liu Erlei came to the kitchen.

Jiang Feng was stirring the ribs in the big pot, and the smell just now came from the pot.

"Boss Jiang, I just came from the mourning hall."

"My family hasn't eaten for a long time, and I'm afraid I'll faint from crying,"

"Is there anything cooked so that everyone can eat first?"

Liu Erlei said to Jiang Feng.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Feng looked at the pieces of ribs stewed in the pot.

These ribs are all large, with large chunks of meat on the bones, which have already absorbed the flavor.

"The ribs are cooked. Let's grab a few pieces first."

Jiang Feng said immediately.

"Okay, let me grab some ribs first."

Liu Erlei picked up a large bowl and used chopsticks to fish out the ribs in the pot.

After a while, I picked up four pieces and picked up a stewed egg.

The eggs stewed in the pork ribs also taste like meat. The best part is the egg skin, which is soft and smooth, full of meat flavor, and tastes juicy. It has an excellent taste.

After Liu Erlei finished fishing for the ribs, he went all the way to the mourning hall and gave them to his eldest brother and sister first.

The children around saw the ribs and shouted that they wanted to eat them too.

Some guests' eyes fell on the ribs, and everyone's eyes widened when they saw such a large piece of dark-colored ribs.

"Eldest sister, second sister, the ribs are ready, you can eat some ribs first."

"I'll get it later."

Liu Erlei advised.

Some sensible juniors came over to help. The eldest and second sisters wiped their tears and left the mourning hall weakly.

The meat of this pork rib is really delicious.

Their stomachs growled immediately, and the hunger in their abdomens became more and more obvious.

The more this happens, the more sensitive your sense of taste becomes and the more you want to eat.

The steaming ribs happened to be right in front of me.

They immediately picked up a piece of ribs and tore the meat off in one bite.

The ribs have been stewed to perfection and are not even attached to the bones. When Jiang Feng stewed them, he added a secret marinade packet, which gave the ribs a fragrant and rich flavor.

When you bite into it, the pork ribs soup is mixed in your mouth, leaving a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.

There are many flavors in the pork ribs, which are mixed together and are indescribably delicious.

When they eat the ribs, they can feel that the meat has a bit of toughness, but it will break when they bite it, so they don't have to bite too hard.

To be able to achieve this level, it is really delicious.

Jiang Feng had an excellent grasp of the heat.

The ribs are simmered for just the right amount of time.

The meat is completely cooked and not too old.

Chew it once and swallow it with a mouth full of meat juice, and your stomach will stop growling instantly.

A stream of heat rushed into my abdomen. I was already hungry, but I immediately felt comfortable from the inside out.

The body is rejuvenated.

Several elders ate the ribs and instantly felt refreshed.

Seeing this scene, several children were greedy and clamored to eat the ribs.

Liu Erlei also wanted to eat, so he went over again and fished out a few pieces of ribs.

Fortunately, the ribs were stewed enough and the big pot was full. Jiang Feng had to stir-fry a few times from time to time.

Liu Erlei tasted a small piece.

The fragrant smell made him head instantly.

This is so delicious too!

It's rare to see pork ribs stewed so deliciously.

Every texture of the meat is full of flavor.

Even the bones are fragrant!
  While Liu Erlei was eating, he looked at the situation in the cauldron.

There are two bags of ingredients soaked in the pot, with condiments such as onions, ginger, garlic, and chili floating in them.

Bubbles bubbled around the ribs.

The fragrance keeps coming out along with the heat.

This big pot of pork ribs looks so fragrant.

People outside smelled the smell and were already hungry and thirsty.

For the Liu family, the mood was sad, but for most other people, it was just to eat and join in the fun. This is also human nature.

Braised pork ribs is very common in rural areas. Many people stew pork ribs in a big pot during holidays.

But how to make the ribs taste delicious and how to stew them until they are soft and tender requires skills.

At this time, a junior ran over and said to Liu Erlei:

"Second uncle, something seems wrong with this person. All thirteen tables are full, and there are still people who don't have a seat."

Liu Erlei was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Thirteen tables are not enough?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look."

Liu Erlei hurried back to the yard.

Funeral banquets in rural areas vary depending on the situation. In some villages, the whole village is invited, and at least 20 tables are arranged.

But it's not that grand here, a dozen or so is considered too much.

And they are all large tables that can seat eight people.

Seeing that some people were coming, Liu Erlei called out to his family and set up three more tables outside the yard.

This is almost enough.

There are many people coming to eat, the house seems lively, and the Liu family is also happy.

The old man's last visit must be done in a grand manner to make it appear that the Liu family is prosperous.

Liu Erlei hurriedly went to Jiang Feng and changed the reservation of 13 tables to 16 tables.

Pay more money.

Jiang Feng called Zhang Hu to discuss it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he agreed.

The funeral music was played non-stop, and there was also a special performance team, playing suonas and beating gongs and drums.

The sound of suona is perfect for this occasion.

People are chatting and discussing. Paired with the background music of suona, it is a vivid scene of Chinese rural life.

Not long after, the time turned to 11:, and Liu Erlei arranged for the banquet to begin.

First serve some cold dishes.

Then the meat and vegetables are served one by one.

With 16 guests at the table, it took a while to serve the dishes.

One after another exquisite dishes were served from the back kitchen.

The kitchen in the back is very simple, just a few greenhouses set up, and an earth stove is used.

But the food made is exceptionally exquisite.

For example, Roujiamo is a petal-shaped round plate with a circle of scallop-like buns on the outside, and in the middle are grilled meat strips, cucumbers, sauce and other condiments.

It also looks good when placed on the table.

The beef is placed one piece at a time and turned into a circle.

Large restaurants have special customers.

The so-called "making a lot" means that after the chef's dish comes out, he must know in his mind what kind of plate to use, what kind of shape to use, and what kind of decoration to put on.

The waiters in the restaurant are all professional and their techniques are very good. After all, they have been working for at least more than a year.

This line of work is not easy either. Being able to work for so long shows that the previous food restaurant was quite good to its employees.

Dishes were put on the table one after another.

People stopped talking and focused on the dishes that were served.

Over at the Liu family, two tables of people wearing sackcloth and mourning were also eating in silence.

An elder said:
  "Everyone eat more, we have a funeral in the afternoon, so we are quite busy."

"Don't collapse from exhaustion."

Another elder said:
  "The chef Er Lei hired is good. These dishes are very good. Let's all enjoy them."

People eat happily.

Liu Bao and his cousin were also in the crowd. They gave the gift just to have this meal.

It's not a shame to sit on the table, just don't make too much trouble.

Liu Bao had seen in advance that one of Jiang Feng's dishes was braised pork ribs and the other was Texas braised chicken.

He was just waiting for these two.

Soon, the ribs were served.

As soon as the large pieces of pork ribs are served, the aroma comes out.

People at the table took their chopsticks and took a big piece each.

Although there are many ribs, there are also many people.

So after such a pinch, there is only one piece left on the plate.

Liu Bao originally wanted to take away the last piece, but he was still not as experienced as Auntie in grabbing food.

The aunt picked up a piece, without stopping at all, and took away the last piece naturally.

Liu Bao's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, feeling a little embarrassed.

He thought he was shameless enough, but compared with Auntie, he was still far from it.

But one piece is enough.

He immediately began to taste the taste of the ribs and was instantly filled with admiration.

It's really not blown.

It tastes so delicious!
  Why are these ribs so delicious!
  Even the inside of the meat is fragrant!

The guests had a great time eating and were full of praise.

Many dogs were lying under the table waiting for the bones, their eyes fixed on the ribs.

As long as someone feeds them, the dog will bite the bones twice hard into bone fragments, then swallow them directly, and continue to stare at the ribs with unsatisfied interest.

The scene was lively and lively.

The banquet at Jiang Yuetai Restaurant was also a perfect ending.

"He's a restaurant chef after all. It smells so good!"

"Whoever invites them to hold a banquet, I have to go!"

“I’ve never had such delicious pork ribs!”

"A chef is a chef, there's no comparison."

During the banquet, people's voices of admiration came from time to time.

Bereavement seems less depressing.

　Happy New Year everyone.

　　Thank you for your support.
