Chapter 32

The ancient Han dissected the whole pig, which is mainly divided into tenderloin, hind leg meat, front leg meat, pork belly, blood neck meat, milk breast meat, pig's trotters, etc., and some pork bones such as large ribs and small ribs .

Wang Pingan looked at the pile of pork ingredients in front of him with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "Finally, I can eat delicious food. First, let me satisfy my craving with a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs."

Wang Pingan turned to the chefs sent by Lu Songjun and said, "I know that you can be chefs in the Governor's Mansion, and your cooking skills should be very good."

"Thank you, sir, for your compliment," said the three chefs and cooks.

"I'm not an adult, I'm the owner of Wangjiazhuang, you can call me Young Master Wang"

"Yes, Young Master Wang." The three responded respectfully.

"Well, good boy." Wang Ping'an was very satisfied with their attitude.

Wang Pingan looked at the ingredients in front of him and said, "Do you know why the governor asked you to come here?"

"I know. Learn how to cook pork from Master Wang." The three nodded.

"Very good. Look at these ingredients. You have to learn these few days. Now I will teach you how to make a dish called sweet and sour pork ribs."

The three looked at Wang Pingan suspiciously: "Sweet and sour pork ribs? Have you never heard of it?"

Wang Pingan said to the people in the Sigong Mansion: "Masters of the Sigong Mansion, please help me to build a simple kitchen in this yard, thank you all."

The people in Sigong Mansion hesitated about the scene of slaughtering a pig just now, and they are still enjoying it. Yes, it is enjoying. He has experienced some things that he has never experienced in his life, which gave them a manly impulse.

Now that they heard Wang Ping'an's request, they obliged to agree: "Don't worry, Young Master Wang, we will help you do it right away."

"Thank you everyone." Wang Pingan bowed to everyone.

Then he turned his head and said to the three chefs: "The ingredients for making sweet and sour pork ribs include soy sauce, vinegar, green onion, ginger, star anise, pepper, cooking wine, sugar, and these pork ribs. Now go and make the pork ribs Wash and cut into small pieces, and chop the onion and ginger."

"Yes, Young Master Wang."

After the three responded, they began to wash the ingredients and cut the pork ribs.

In about a quarter of an hour, the people of Sigong Mansion had set up a simple kitchen in the front yard.The chefs of the three Governor's Mansions have also washed all the small ribs, green onion, garlic and other ingredients.

"Well, that's right, Gu Han, go and call all the people who know how to cook in the village, and say that this village mainly teaches everyone how to make sweet and sour pork ribs, and anyone who wants to learn can come here." Wang Pingan said generously.

"Yes." Gu Han went to call someone after finishing speaking.

"Okay, let's start the fire and put the pot on the shelf." Wang Pingan ordered again.

One word from Wang Pingan made everyone busy for themselves, and suddenly Wang Pingan felt very fulfilled, just like later generations, everyone listened to himself, and his own decision could bring great benefits to the company, but now he is getting it for himself. great interest.

Because of Qu Yuanli's success, Wang Ping'an now has a high reputation in Wangjiazhuang. When he heard that Wang Ping'an wanted to teach everyone how to make sweet and sour pork ribs, he came here without even thinking about it. There were more than 20 people.

"Very good. Now that everyone is here, let me dictate and you will be in charge." Wang Pingan pointed to the only cook in the governor's mansion.

"Ah? Me? Young Master Wang, I can't do it." The cook was a little panicked when she heard that she was allowed to handle the spoon.

Seeing the panic of the cook, Wang Pingan said in a deep voice, "What's wrong, since you are the cook, as long as you go to the kitchen, there is nothing wrong with it. The pots, bowls, spoons and pans in the kitchen are all your friends, so there is no need to panic. "

"Remember, if you're in the kitchen, you're god. If you say no, you don't want to be a cook."

After being told by Wang Ping'an, the cook strengthened her eyes, and the panicked eyes disappeared.

"It's not too bad, do you want me to be in charge of the spoon?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." After speaking, the cook hurriedly walked to the stove and picked up the spoon.

Wang Pingan nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone knows that today I am teaching sweet and sour pork ribs. Everyone will definitely ask if you can make a dish with vinegar and sugar as seasoning?"

Hearing what Wang Pingan said, everyone nodded unconsciously.They also want to ask this question, but they can't ask it at that time, because Wang Ping'an's status is nobler than them, and much nobler, so they don't dare to ask questions, even if they are angry, they can only face it with a smile.

"Okay, I say you do it, everyone listen and watch, all questions will be asked after the end." Wang Pingan said.

"You put the ribs, scallions, and ginger slices into the pot first, and then add water." Wang Pingan said to the cook.

"Good, good."

The cook picked up all the spare ribs on the plate and poured them into the pot, then put in sliced ​​scallions and ginger, put in clean water and then cover the pot to boil.

"While you are free now, you can mix vinegar, soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar into a seasoning sauce, which will be useful later." Wang Pingan took advantage of the time to make the sauce first.

"Yes, Young Master Wang." The cook replied.

The cook took out a bowl and poured vinegar, soy sauce, cooking wine, and sugar into it, stirring evenly with chopsticks.

Wisps of fragrance wafted out of the pot, and when the people around asked about it, they all said, "It's really fragrant, it's so fragrant."

Especially the other two chefs, they are starting to feel a little uneasy now: "Why is it so fragrant, even if there was a fragrance before, it wasn't that fragrant."

"Okay, you can open the lid of the pot, skim off the foam, and then you can add spices such as pepper and star anise, and wait until the chopsticks can pierce the ribs, then remove the ribs."

"Okay." The cook's tone was obviously much calmer than before.

The movements of the cook's hands are also much more agile. Seeing her quickly remove the floating foam, and then put the pepper, star anise and other spices into the pot, the aroma has increased a lot in an instant.

At this time, the ribs were almost cooked, and the cook pricked the ribs in the pot one by one with chopsticks, took them out, then looked at Wang Pingan, and asked with her eyes what to do next.

"That's right, now heat up the pot first, and then put the sauce into the pot." Wang Ping'an said flatly.

Hearing the cue, the cook swiftly poured the sauce into the heated cauldron. After the sauce in the pot was rolled, another fragrance wafted out.

Wisps of fragrance stimulated the noses of the Zhuanghu and the people in Sigong Mansion: "It smells so good, it's completely different from the fragrance just now, it's really too fragrant."

"You can put the ribs into the pot. Use a spoon to keep turning up, down, left, and right. It must be even, so that the ribs can taste. Yes, that's it, that's it. Now you can pour half a bowl of soup for the ribs to make The broth completely submerged the ribs."

The cook can now do it while listening, and Wang Ping'an is also surprised that the cook can understand so well.

Wang Pingan waited for the cook to submerge the ribs in the soup, and then said: "After the high heat boils, then simmer on a low heat until the soup in the pot is thickened, and then put the ribs in a bowl, this is considered complete." Real sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Yes. Thank you, Young Master Wang, for the delicious food."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank, after the sweet and sour pork ribs are made, there is still time to thank." Wang Pingan said.

As the domestic soup boiled in the yard, the aroma also rose sharply. Everyone in the yard has been desperately inhaling the aroma.And there are quite a few people who started drooling.

Wang Ping'an didn't need to talk about the rest of the work, the cook already knew it by herself.

The cook lifted the lid of the pot, and a scent came over her face. Seeing that the soup in the pot was getting less and less, and finally absorbed by the ribs, the cook put Tang Chu's ribs into a bowl, and then handed them to Wang Ping'an.

Looking at the sugar-colored pork ribs, Wang Pingan took out a pair of chopsticks and threw a small rib into his mouth in one gulp.

"Well, it's moderately sweet and sour, not greasy or greasy, and has a rich and delicate taste. I don't think any kind of seasoning is abrupt. It's really delicious."

"The color is sugar-thin, neither thick nor light. It tastes just as good even with rice mixed with juice. Not bad, really good." Wang Pingan commented on the skill of the cook while eating the pork ribs in his mouth.

Wang Pingan put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to everyone: "This bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs, let's share it with everyone. It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. Gu Han, you can eat a piece first."

"Master Xie." Gu Han was already drooling after smelling the fragrance.

When he heard that Wang Pingan was going to treat him to sweet and sour pork ribs, he wiped his saliva and grabbed it with his hands without saying a word.
