Chapter 19: Fresh Agate Meat

Compared with Dongpo Pork, Shen Shaoguang in his previous life actually preferred ordinary braised pork—there was no other reason, it was more convenient.

Shen Shaoguang has a lot of patience in this life, what's the hurry? In a hurry, hurry forward, just like a migrating salmon, hurrying to go to school, hurrying to graduate, hurrying to make money, hurrying to fall in love, hurrying to get married, hurrying to have children, then hurrying to grow old, hurrying die? Or, just like myself, before the rush is over, "Gambang" has passed through to another world, yes, all the hard work in the past has been cleared, and I have to start from scratch!

Shen Shaoguang, who lamented the impermanence of the world, put a bamboo grate in a large casserole to prevent it from sticking to the pot. On the grate, put scallion white and ginger slices, and then put the large cubes of pork belly that had been scalded with blood on it evenly, and then put the sauce on it. , sugar and wine. The wine is new wine, with some greenish foam - what Lao Bai calls "green ant new grain wine". Thinking about it this way, it seems that even this pot of pork is poetic.

Poetic pork is braised over a tiny charcoal fire, slowly simmering.

Shen Shaoguang was making batter on the other side of the small stove, waiting for the guests who bought the pancakes to come to the door.

A Yuan moved back to the fresh soy milk from the tofu shop and shouted "Xiang" as soon as he entered the door.

Pour the soy milk into the big pot, put firewood on the bottom of the pot, and seeing that the fire was burning, Ah Yuan walked over to the small stove and circled around the casserole where the meat was being stewed, sniffling constantly, why is it so fragrant?

Shen Shaoguang laughed, if you use the chili soy pan to fry the pork back in the pot, the aroma will be even more irritating. This silly girl can't go into the pot?

Speaking of which, chili peppers are a magical ingredient, and when combined with meat, they can literally burst out with one plus one equals ten aromas—especially the smell. Therefore, the popularity of Sichuan cuisine in later generations is very reasonable. It is a pity that this dynasty has not introduced chili, which is a great pity.

Not only A Yuan is greedy, but the diners are also looking at the casserole according to the taste, and those who are familiar can't help but ask: "What is this little lady doing? It smells so good."

Mr. Dongpo's name could not be mentioned, so Shen Shaoguang re-named it after the imperial banquet named Dafa - Agate Meat.

Such a gorgeous name and such a fragrance make the diners more and more itchy.

Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "This is a time-honored dish, and you have to wait a little longer. It's better to buy it at noon or when you eat dinner. The meat is plump and delicate, and it is excellent for drinking and eating."

The diners had to endure for a while, and they tried harder to eat pancakes because of the aroma of meat. Pastry, porridge and soup are sold a lot more than usual. After Shen Shaoguang, I realized that I was poisoned in the morning?

After selling the food and picking it up neatly, the meat is almost cooked, but it is not finished yet, and it has to be steamed.

This method of steaming is also very knowledgeable. It is best to steam it in a sealed jar with water. This is also the usual practice of the imperial chef in the palace.

After steaming for another quarter of an hour, the meat is completely ready.

There are no guests in the morning or evening. Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Shaoguang brought A Yuan to try it out first.

Take four pieces out of the jar, put the meat skin up on a snow-white plate, and pour the soup from the original stew. Not to mention, this is rosy and bright, and the name of the agate meat is well-deserved.

Shen Shaoguang quickly fried a sunflower dish, and the two of them had brunch with sticky rice porridge.

Shen Shaoguang took a piece and put it in a small bowl and tasted it slowly.

Perhaps the wine of this era is serious rice wine, or it may be because pigs do not grow up on feed and grow slowly, so the meat quality is better. Of course, it may be that they have not eaten this flavor for a long time. miss it so much, Shen Shaoguang. feel that this meat is better than what ate in some famous restaurants in previous life. Really plump but not greasy, soft and fragrant.

Even so, Shen Shaoguang didn't eat a piece of it - there was not a lot of it, it was as big as a child's fist.

The remaining three belong to A Yuan. But she didn't want A Yuan to eat and eat, and suddenly burst into tears.

Shen Shaoguang took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears and gravy from the corner of the girl's mouth. What happened?

Ah Yuan sobbed and looked at her little lady a little embarrassedly, "Too, it's so delicious."

"..." It turns out that "delicious enough to cry" is not an exaggerated description?

As a cook, Shen Shaoguang was a little flattered to receive such an evaluation from the eater, "If you like to eat, we will do it often in the future."

Ah Yuan's choking became more and more severe, "In the past, I could only eat a bowl of corn porridge with water and water, and a rice cake mixed with vegetables. I can't think of today, woo woo..."

It turned out to be because of his life experience. Shen Shaoguang patted the child's head and sighed: "Eat it. As long as the world is not chaotic, we will never have to suffer all that much."

At noon, when selling steamed buns with soup, Shen Shaoguang put out the meat when it was hot, and the appearance and aroma immediately attracted the attention of diners.

It is said that the Yujian noodles in the store are also fragrant, and the soup will flow as soon as you bite, but it is wrapped in the dough, which is much more subtle than this agate meat, and this meat is so bright without any buffering. It is vivid and fragrant to stimulate people's eyes, mouth and nose.

To Shen Shaoguang's analogy, the jade pointed face is probably a fashion beauty, and the agate meat is a naked woman! ①In front of her, no one cares about any style or elegance.

This meat doesn't need to be sold by Shen Shaoguang, and there are some that miss in the morning, which are out of stock in an instant.

In the afternoon, made another pot, which was still out of stock during the evening meal.

This test is actually much better than expected. Shen Shaoguang originally thought that there are many rich people in this workshop, and they are very particular, but they cannot afford mutton. Before, the soup buns were widely accepted because of the selling point of soup and the advantage that pork is indeed more suitable for filling than mutton. Yes, and the promotion of pork dishes is not necessarily so easy.

And people eat pork these days, usually steamed, and then dipped in garlic paste or various sauces, similar to the white cut meat of the descendants. This rich and colorful pork made by yourself may not necessarily match everyone's taste.

Now, it seems that we Datang people are actually "delicious and just fine"?

Shen Shaoguang went to buy the largest casserole, and planned to carry forward the agate meat first.

Then he took out the wooden shelf where the flower cake advertisement had been placed and placed it at the door, and wrote "Tasting Fresh Agate Meat" in large characters. She planned that the clip would not be removed in the future, and it would be used as a notice board for dishes.

Shen Shaoguang looked back at his small shop. It was a pity that it was too small and could only be made into a restaurant that sells rice. If it was bigger, it could accommodate customers in groups of three or five, and the restaurant could be transformed into a restaurant. Liquor restaurants offer a variety of dishes and also sell alcohol, and the profits are much higher.

If you can't eat agate meat in a hurry, take your time.

The author has something to say: ① This metaphor is inspired by Yi Shu's "Xi Bao", which says that cash is a naked woman.
