I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

There was pepper boiled mutton and a pot of good chicken soup.

Cheng Yaojin ate to his heart's content.

Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang, the two children who are most like their fathers, are eating very politely at this moment. Except for the chicken soup, they can eat all the dishes on the table. For other dishes, they just take a bite and don't stop. chopsticks.

Cheng Yaojin was very strange about this.

As a military commander, eating has always been the top priority.

It is understandable that Cheng Chuliang has no appetite. In a few days, he will leave Chang'an and go to a place like Dong'e.But Cheng Chumo didn't even have an appetite?
"What's the matter with you two?" Cheng Yaojin gnawed on the leg of lamb, his mouth was full of oil, "Why don't you eat actively?"

"That's fine with Chu Liang, why are you following Chu Mo?"

Cheng Chumo shook his head, and received it softly: "Father, it's the boy who went out with his younger brother today and ate the best food in the world in a restaurant."

"In my child's eyes, this table of dishes looks a little bland. Except for the chicken soup, which is good for my mouth, I can't eat anything else."

Especially the pot of mutton, even though it was sprinkled with so much pepper, there was still a smell of mutton that couldn't stop gushing out.

Usually, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after eating such light dishes as Jin Xiangyu, these smelly foods became particularly prominent.

"The best food in the world?" Cheng Yaojin became interested.

Cheng Chuliang nodded: "Yes, No. [-] in the world. Just eat it once, and the baby's tongue has almost become the shape of that restaurant."

Cheng Yaojin put down the mutton and clapped his hands: "It's really as delicious as you say?"

"Tomorrow, I will go with you to see and see."

The two brothers nodded heavily, even if their father didn't go, they would still go.

the next day.

When it was almost noon, they changed into ordinary clothes and left Duke Lu's mansion. Anyway, they just went to a restaurant for dinner, so they didn't put on the posture of a Duke.

When we arrived at Huaizhen Square, it happened to be noon.

The signboard with the word "Tongfu" on the restaurant is hung high, swaying and fluttering in the wind, and the signboard "No. [-] Building in the World" is still hanging at the door.

Cheng Yaojin frowned slightly, the facade was too crude.

Usually, if he saw such a restaurant, he would never go in to eat, but this time, after all, he had his two sons as guarantees.

As soon as the three of them entered, Yin Xuan, who was teaching Yin Lulu how to read, raised his head and said hello, "Are you here?"

Cheng Chumo nodded his head: "To trouble the store today, I will bring you three more plates of gold inlaid with jade." As he spoke, he counted the coppers.

"Our family has a new dish, golden shredded meat, do you want to try it?" Yin Xuan stood up, and Yin Lulu, who was being held down to study, had an expression on his face as if he had escaped from death.

Golden pork, a new dish?
The three of them froze for a moment, this was another dish name they had never heard of.

"Is it as delicious as gold inlaid jade?" Cheng Chumo asked.

Yin Xuan nodded: "It's natural, can there be something unpalatable out of my cooking skills?"

Cheng Chumo put the sixty coppers on the table, and at the same time got ready to count them: "Then how much is the price of this golden silk meat?"

"One piece of thirty coins." Yin Xuan said succinctly.

Cheng Chumo counted out another sixty copper coins: "Then trouble the shopkeeper to make two copies for us."

Yin Xuan went straight to the kitchen, and Wang gathered the 120 copper coins with a smile.

Three servings of tomato scrambled eggs were ready quickly, and Mrs. Wang brought them up.

Then there is the golden shredded pork - that is, shredded pork with potatoes.

This dish is actually very simple to cook, the trouble is the processing of the ingredients before making this dish.

The first thing to deal with is the meat.

For the dish of shredded pork with potatoes, it is best to use tenderloin, but the pork sold in the mall is pork belly, which can be used if you make do, but it is still inferior to tenderloin.

Slice the meat, and then cut it into shreds that are one-fifth of the thickness of a little finger. First pass the water to wash out the blood.

Then add two spoonfuls of light soy sauce, half a spoonful of old soy sauce for coloring, if there is cooking wine, then use cooking wine—but this thing is still unlocked in the mall, so Yin Xuan poured some green onion water.

Finally, put two tablespoons of cornstarch and a little salt, stir well and sizing, then add a little soybean oil, stir a few more times, set it aside, and let it entertain itself for a while.

Take out two potatoes.

Cut the potato shreds thinner than the shredded meat, and rinse with water to remove the starch.

Put a cold pot of cold water on the stove, put the potato shreds that have been washed off the starch into the pot, turn on the fire, wait until there are big bubbles in the pot, then take out the potato shreds and put them in cold water.

When many people make this dish, they will encounter a problem.

That is the potato shreds fried by myself are soft and sticky.It is sticky because the starch has not been washed away. As for the softness, it is because the step of blanching is missing.

Clean the pot, turn on the fire, and when the pot is hot, add an appropriate amount of soybean oil.

When the oil temperature rises to about [-]%, add shredded pork and stir-fry a few times. When the meat changes color but is not fully cooked, add shredded potatoes and salt.

If there is garlic and chili, just put them in together at this time.

Stir-fry a few times on high heat, wait for the gas to come out of the pan, and put it on a plate.

Potatoes and shredded pork are both delicate foods. They cannot be kept in a high-temperature environment for too long, otherwise one will become soft if it is no longer hard, and the other will become old if it is no longer tender. Just like people, there is a problem of moderation.

Do the same thing.

The second portion of shredded potato and pork was also ready, and the two dishes were brought to the table by Mrs. Wang, and Yin Xuan followed them out of the kitchen.

The three dishes of tomato scrambled eggs had already been swept away by the three of them, and now they were staring straight at the shredded potato and pork in Mrs. Wang's hand.

The scrambled eggs with tomato whetted their appetites, and now is the time for gluttons.

But they didn't move their chopsticks in a hurry, but savored carefully.

As soon as this dish came out, the three big men who couldn't cook could see that it was different from the common dishes on the market.

Not so much broth!

If tomato scrambled eggs can be understood as "boiled", then this dish is definitely not something that can be made by "boiled".

Drier than boiled, juicier than grilled.

Golden Silk Meat. It’s a good name. Golden Silk is the yellow and clear filaments on this plate. I really don’t know what kind of ingredients it is. In their minds, they can’t find any ingredients that can correspond to it.

Cheng Yaojin did his part, and took the lead in picking up a chopstick, some shredded potatoes and shredded pork, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Only chewed.

Cheng Yaojin felt that the golden thread seemed to be dancing in his mouth, crisp and firm, and the tender and smooth shredded meat became a neutralizing agent, so that besides the refreshing feeling, there was also a layer of softness as a buffer.
