Linshui County, West Street.

Half past two in the afternoon.

Li Yan bought the wine and melon seeds and waited for the chef Li Xia to prepare the dishes and prepare for the opening.

When the time comes, go to the door to solicit customers.

Let's have a PK with Liuji Restaurant diagonally opposite.

At the entrance of Liu Ji Restaurant.

There were no customers in the restaurant at this time, so Liu Laosan was sitting at the door eating melon seeds.

He watched Li Yan buy something and went in, wondering, was he preparing to open a business?

However, Liu Laosan didn't care that the Sichuan chef in his restaurant had been hired from a state-owned hotel in the provincial capital with a lot of money.

They, Li Kee Restaurant, want to find a more powerful chef, but they are afraid that it will be difficult to reach the top.

……

In the kitchen.

Li Xia cleaned the pork belly and scraped the hair off the pig skin.

Then prepare various seasonings.

Salt, rock sugar, Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, star anise, Angelica dahurica... all kinds of seasonings and spices are actually nothing special and can be bought in the market.

Li Xia is not preparing vegetables, but preparing meat.

He knows a unique secret recipe for sauced pork, which is a very unique delicacy.

In his previous life, he opened a soy meat restaurant, and there was an endless stream of customers every day.

If you open a restaurant without special features, it won't be popular at all.

Especially if there is another restaurant nearby.

Therefore, the characteristic that Li Xia wants to highlight is the sauced pork.

Li Xia added high-strength white wine to the pork belly to remove the fishy smell and sterilize it.

Sprinkle with salt and spread evenly.

Then add star anise, peppercorns, aniseed and other spices.

Finally add bean paste and marinate.

Although the seasoning is simple, the key lies in the proportions.

The proportions are wrong, and the sauced meat that comes out in the end is either too salty, too sweet, or too bland, and the taste is substandard and a failure.

Marinate the pork belly for one hour.

The five pairs of pork liver, pork heart, and pork tongue are also pickled in the same way. then.

Li Xia took out two snowflake iron buckets, added half a bucket of water, and then added rock sugar, salt, soy sauce, bay leaves, cinnamon, and grass fruits according to the amount of water...

This is making the soup base, and the soup base is the most critical. The secret recipe is very important.

Some of the ingredients for the soup base are difficult to buy.

It was not available in the general market, so Li Xia asked Li Yan to buy it at the drug store.

When the soup base is boiled and the aroma comes out a little, you can add the meat.

When frying meat, you need to control the heat and calculate the time.

Every once in a while, use a long-handled spoon to stir. The angle and intensity of stirring are all particular.

If you stir it casually, the meat will break up easily.

Cooking meat is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task that requires constant attention.

Two hours passed.

It's almost dinner time.

Outside.

Du Yunfang is also here.

The four of them waited for Li Xia to prepare the dishes and then opened the restaurant.

In the kitchen, there was no movement at all.

Several people were extremely anxious.

"What's going on with Li Xia? It took so long to prepare the dishes~?"

"I'll go in and take a look!"

"Don't go in. Didn't he just say that no one can go in?"

"It's almost dinner time, it will be too late if it doesn't open!"

"That is, if it doesn’t open, all the customers will go to Liu Laosan’s restaurant!"

The four people waited in the hall for a long time. Finally, Li Yan couldn't wait any longer and rushed into the kitchen.

The other three also followed.

In the kitchen

, they saw Li Xia sitting on a small bench with his eyes closed and meditating.

There are no vegetables cut on the chopping board.

There is only a fire on the stove, and something is stewing in a snowflake iron bucket.

"You didn't prepare any food?"Li Yan asked eagerly

"What to prepare?"Li Xia asked back

"You, you don’t prepare food. When guests come, what will they eat?"

"Eat meat"

"Where's the meat?"

"In the barrel."

Li Yan walked over and just stretched out his hand, but was stopped by Li Xia.

"Can't open it yet"

"Why"

"not the right time yet"

"It was almost dinner time, and the guests were looking for a place to eat, so they all went to Liu Laosan's restaurant to eat!"

Li Yan is about to explode.

Li Shouye frowned and said,"You've been working for a long time and just stewed the meat?"

"Um."Li Xia nodded.

Li Shouye was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe that the guests couldn't just eat meat.

But at this time,

Li Xia looked at the time and saw that it was almost time. Then he stepped forward and opened the iron bucket. The lid.

As soon as the lid was opened, a rich, fragrant and mellow smell of sauced meat wafted out.

Several people in the kitchen were surprised when they smelled the smell.

"This tastes so good!"

"I go! Why does it smell so good!"

"Gulu~! This sauced meat is so delicious!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Li Shouye, Du Yunfang, Li Yan, and Ding Qiuxia couldn't help but look into the iron bucket.

They saw the brown and black soup base, and the fat and tender pork belly was stewed in it. It's bright in color and crystal clear in texture, making people move their index fingers just by looking at it.

This sauced meat is so tempting!

Several people started to swallow their saliva.

Li Xia took a long-handled spoon and continued to stir.

This stirring was even more important. Life is long gone!

The thick aroma continued to float out to the street.

At this point, the people rushed home to eat.

Walking on the road, passing by the door of Li Ji Restaurant, they smelled the aroma of meat.

Everyone seemed to be possessed. Generally, stopped

"What kind of meat is this? It’s so fragrant!"

"Is it coming from this Li Kee restaurant? It smells so delicious, my mouth is watering!"

"I’ve never smelled something so fragrant, and I’m hungry!"

"This is the smell coming from this restaurant, but why is there no one in this restaurant?"

……

Gradually.

More and more people gathered in front of the restaurant.

In the kitchen, the rich aroma of the secret sauce meat is still wafting out.

Some people walked into the restaurant unconsciously. the other side.

Liu Laosan and his wife are soliciting customers at the door

"This guest, please come in. Our restaurant’s signature dish is authentic Sichuan cuisine.……"

Customer:"Wow~! It smells so good! Is this the smell in your store?"

Liu Laosan was stunned, his nose twitched, and he smelled the fragrance coming over.

Where is this scent coming from?

It smells like meat!

Liu Laosan turned his head and looked in the direction of his kitchen. It didn't smell like that at all.

The guest pointed and said:"It's over there, it seems to be a restaurant, the smell comes from there!"

"well! well!"Liu Laosan quickly wanted to call out the guest, but saw that the guest had already ran past.

Liu Laosan took a closer look and was surprised to see that it was Li Ji Restaurant.

At this moment, no less than ten people gathered at the door of Li Ji Restaurant.

Yes, they have already walked in.

Liu Laosan’s wife slapped her thigh and said in surprise:

"Old man, this smell comes from Li Kee Restaurant!"

What?!

Liu Laosan's expression changed!

And then, the customers in Liu Ji Restaurant also smelled the fragrance.

"well! Guest, where are you going? Are you not eating?" Liu Laosan asked

"I won’t eat anymore. It tastes delicious over there. I’ll go check it out!"

After a while, another customer came out.

Liu Laosan's face turned pale:"Young man, you have already ordered the food, and the chef is cooking it!"

"Sorry, excuse me. I'll go over there and have a look. What does it smell like? It's so fragrant!"

It didn't take much time.

The guests in Liu Ji's restaurant smelled the aroma of sauced meat and ran out one by one.

……

In the kitchen (good money).

Li Xia took out the soup spoon and said:"Okay, you're done."

He completed the last step, then drained the sauce from the meat in the bucket, took it out piece by piece from the bucket, and put it in the bucket. On the chopping board.

It needs to cool for a while before cutting the meat.

Li Xia took out the price tag he had written a long time ago. Li Ji’s secret sauce pork costs two yuan and three taels.

When several people looked at the price tag, their hearts skipped a beat!

The price is not cheap.

But it can’t beat the smell of meat!

Not many people can resist the temptation!

Li Shouye swallowed his saliva, and then said to Ding Qiuxia:

"Hurry and go outside with the sign, it’s open! Recruiting customers!"

"Dad, let me try the taste of this secret sauce meat first, it’s so delicious!"Ding Qiuxia stared at the meat on the chopping board, her eyes almost popping out of pain.

Li Yan also nodded and said:"Yes, dad, let's taste it first, we haven't eaten yet!"

At this time, I heard someone shouting outside:

"Is there anyone at Li Kee Restaurant?"

"What smells so good!"

"It smells so good! Waiter, I want to eat!"

"Is this smell meat? Give me some of this meat!"
