Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 98
The case of Zhang's mansion came to an end. Wang Ping'an and others returned to the governor's mansion again, but saw a scene that shocked him. Tables and chairs lined up for several streets from inside the governor's mansion to outside the mansion.

"My lord, the tables and chairs have been set up, the chefs and cooks of the major restaurants are also in place, and the ingredients have been purchased." An aide walked up to Lu Songjun and cupped his hands.

"Well, is the list ready?" Lu Songjun asked.

"It's already been selected. Fifty tables are those famous businessmen, and the other fifty tables are the most famous and prestigious Baib in Luoyang."

"Very well, you go to work."

"Wait, where are you setting up the kitchen? It's not that simple to cook a hundred tables at a time." Wang Ping'an asked.

"Ten stoves were built in the front yard, and the chefs from several big restaurants cooperated with the chefs from the Governor's Mansion to cook a hundred dishes together." The staff replied.

"Take me there to have a look." Wang Pingan said curiously, and then said to Lu Songjun: "Uncle Lu, it's getting late, I'm going to look at the ingredients, some ingredients have to be done first, otherwise not enough time."

"Go, you have to behave well tonight, or the old man will lose face." Lu Songjun joked.

"Haven't Uncle Lu already tasted it? Don't you still believe in my nephew's craftsmanship?" Wang Pingan said with a smile.

"I'll go too, Ping An let me help you." Li Tai said.

"No need, Brother Tai, you and Uncle Lu can wait to let go of your stomach and eat and drink at night." Wang Pingan joked with a smile.

"Haha... that's fine, I'll just wait until the evening to eat and drink." Li Tai smiled heartily.

In this way, Lu Songjun accompanied Li Tai to the living room, and Wang Pingan followed his staff to the front yard. On the way, Wang Pingan also ordered Tieping to bring Zhao Hao back.

At this time, ten hearths were newly built in the front yard, and there were four rows in total. There was only one hearth in the front row, and three hearths were built in each of the three rows behind. There were three people standing in front of the stove, a chef and two helpers.

After Wang Ping'an arrived at the front yard, he went straight to the front row of stoves. All the chefs and helpers looked at the ten-year-old child in surprise, and thought, "Whose child is this? It's so naughty. Why are you standing there?" In the chef's seat."

"Little man, I have met Young Master Wang." Three figures saluted Wang Ping'an. They were the three chefs in the Governor's Mansion.

"En." After Wang Pingan responded, he said to the twenty or so people in front of him, "Everyone must be thinking whose child this is. He's so naughty. How can he stand in this seat?"

When everyone heard it, their faces were shocked, and they thought: "How does he know?"

Wang Pingan looked at their expressions and thought, "It seems that I guessed it right." He smiled slightly and said, "I'm thinking that you must be asking me how I know what you are thinking. It's very simple, because I stand It’s just so out of place here, it’s not realistic at all.”

"Listen to me, everyone, you are all here to learn the dishes of the Whole Pig Feast, so this Young Master Wang is my mentor, so please don't neglect me." One of the chefs in the Governor's Mansion said loudly.

"What, this brat is the one who taught me to wait for the whole pig feast?"

"This is not a joke, is it?"

"It should be true. You haven't heard all the chefs in the Governor's Mansion say that."

……

In an instant, there was a lot of discussion on the scene, some expressed disbelief, and some were skeptical.

"Quiet, please be quiet." Wang Pingan said very flatly.

The scene fell silent for an instant.

Wang Pingan looked at the crowd and said unhurriedly: "If you feel that you can't learn anything here, then you can leave. If you think you can learn the dishes of the whole pig, then you can listen to it before the end of the whole pig feast." Master Ben ordered, do you understand?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one leaves, it is a fatal temptation for a chef to learn a dish, even if they are cheated today, it doesn't matter to them.

"Very well, since you don't want to leave, you have to follow my arrangement today, have you heard that?" Wang Pingan said loudly.

"Yes, I would like to listen to Young Master Wang's orders." Everyone responded in unison.

"Very good, your fighting spirit is very high. You must know that this is the battlefield of our chefs. Now, I will teach you cold dishes made of pork. There are pig tongue, pig ears, and pig head meat..." Wang Pingan named each dish. Name it out.

"First go there and take out a pig's ear." Wang Pingan pointed to the pile of ingredients next to him and ordered.

Soon some helpers went to pick out pig ears from the pile of ingredients. Each group took ten pig ears, including Wang Pingan's helper who also picked ten pig ears.

Soon the ten pig ears were shaved by the kitchen helper, washed and placed on the wall of the stove.

"Very good, now prepare the scallions, ginger, star anise, cinnamon bark, bay leaves and wash them. Throw all the ingredients into the pot, add some cold water and a small amount of cooking wine, boil on high heat, then turn to medium heat and cook for about 30 minutes. You can pierce through with chopsticks. The pig’s ears prove that they are almost done. If they are overcooked, the crunchy taste of the pig’s ears will be compromised! Remember to turn the boiled ears over halfway through.” Wang Pingan said.

Soon the chefs helped the chefs wash all the ingredients and handed them over to the chef. The chef took the ingredients and followed Wang Ping'an's instructions, and began to put all the ingredients in the pot and start cooking on high heat.

"Very good, all of you are doing very well. While the pig's ears are cooking, we can prepare other ingredients, such as mincing shallots, ginger, and garlic." Wang Pingan said while doing it.

The chefs below also followed suit and started making ingredients.

"Put the ingredients into a seasoning bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, spicy oil, light soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar, add a small teaspoon of dark soy sauce and a small amount of sugar, and stir well." Wang Pingan said.

After adjusting the seasoning, we can only wait for the pig ears to be cooked and take them out.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the pig's ears were finally burnt.

Wang Pingan took out the pig's ears and said, "Let's wash the pig's ears with cold water several times, dry them and cut them into thin slices. Finally, stir the pig's ear slices and seasonings evenly before eating."

All the chefs and kitchen assistants saw that Wang Ping’an had made a delicious cold pig’s ear, and they also picked up the pig’s ears from their own pots. Following Wang Ping’s technique, they rinsed and dried the pig’s ears with cold water, and then put the pig’s ears in cold water. Sliced ​​into thin slices, and finally mixed with the seasoning, the delicious cold pig ears were produced in their hands.

This made the chefs both excited and excited, and their eyes on Wang Pingan had changed from disdain to admiration.

"Very good, the next step is to make pig tongue, you first..."

……

The on-site cooking was very busy, and the chefs were full of energy, with satisfied smiles on their faces from time to time.

Soon the chefs cooked four kinds of cold steaks. They were cold pork ears, white-cut pork head meat, white-cut pork head meat and braised pig's trotters.

"Wow, it looks delicious."

Li Tai's voice rang in Wang Ping'an's ear, Wang Ping'an turned his head and saw not only Li Tai but also Li Lizhi and Lu Songjun.
