To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 144 Octopus Comes

  The next morning, Luo Sheng went to the restaurant.

  The authentic amber melon is a very time-consuming dish.

  The wax gourd that has been peeled and cut into flowers is colored with sugar. It takes patience to cook on a low heat for four to five hours.

   Among them, the weight of the winter melon, the proportion of sugar juice, and the adjustment of the heat are all very particular. If you are not careful, the winter melon that has been heated for a long time will soften and collapse.

  As for Grilled Pot Elbow, it is a veritable dish, and it cannot be accomplished in a short time.

  Sheng Saburo moved a small pot, and simply stayed by the side of the soup bucket. He smelled the fragrance and asked Luo Sheng: "Cousin, it's been almost two hours, is it still ready?"

  He watched with his own eyes his cousin and Xiu Gu handle dozens of elbows weighing a pound, put them neatly into the soup bucket and start to marinate. It took almost three hours from processing to marinating.

  This is too particular, it’s just a matter of time to marinate the elbows, why do you have to soak them in cold water for an hour first?

   Isn't this a waste of time?

  Sheng Saburo waited anxiously and couldn't help muttering.

  Xiuyue explained lightly: "Soak for enough time to remove the blood, so that the elbow will not smell fishy."

  After explaining, Xiuyue carefully lifted the lid of the bucket, and a strong fragrance gushed out immediately.

"Ok?"

   "Is it okay to eat?"

   Hongdou and the others all gathered around, impatiently poking their heads to see.

  In the curling steam, dozens of red elbows can be seen next to each other, not to mention how flattering they are.

  Shi Yan sucked in a breath: "It looks delicious."

  Red beans curled their lips: "Can it be delicious? The big bones in the elbow have been pulled out, and it tastes like meat."

  Sheng Sanlang asked Luo Sheng: "Cousin, why don't we try it first?"

   Hongdou and the others nodded in agreement.

   It’s good to have a taste first, this elbow smells really good.

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Does my cousin know why this dish is called fried pork elbow?"

   "I don't know, I just know it's delicious." Sheng Saburo answered honestly.

  Xiuyue was pulling out the marinated elbow, while Luo Sheng explained: "Brain first and then grill, that's the beauty of this dish."

  Beside the wooden barrel is a large iron pot, with a large plate slightly smaller than the lid on the bottom of the pot, and the elbows that have been fished out are placed one by one on it.

  Xiuyue directed the bearded man to pour the original soup in the wooden barrel into it, cover the pot and cook it slowly over low heat, so that he was temporarily free.

   After more than an hour, Xiuyue lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, then said to Luo Sheng, "Girl, it's almost done."

  Everyone cheered up immediately: "Okay?"

  Luo Sheng did not explain, and carefully shoveled out the elbows one by one and put them on the tray. When the soup left in the iron pot was thickened, he dipped a brush in the soup and brushed the elbows layer by layer.

  After brushing it several times like this, the cooled elbow turns bright red, as if a layer of amber has solidified, which is similar to the amber wax gourd.

  By this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was almost time for the restaurant to open.

  Sheng Saburo desperately pressed against the door, looking as if he was facing an enemy: "Cousin, if you don't let us have a taste today, we won't open the door!"

  Shi Yan and the others wanted to nod, but the boss is the boss, not their cousin, so they could only express their support for the cousin in silence.

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Red beans, go tell Xiugu to cut two elbows for everyone to taste."

  Red beans quickly ran into the back kitchen, and came back with two plates after a while.

  As soon as the plate was put on the table, several people started fighting like hungry wolves.

  Luo Sheng smiled and shook his head when he saw this, and opened the door of the restaurant himself.

  There was a person standing outside the door, which made her take half a step back in surprise.

   "Did you scare Miss Luo?" Wei Han asked.

  He didn't expect that when he reached the entrance of the restaurant, the door suddenly opened.

  Luo Sheng couldn't help but glance at the man outside the door.

  There is no other reason, King Kaiyang, who has always been dressed in scarlet clothes, is actually wearing a bamboo green straight gown today.

  Compared to the dazzling past, it is a bit more elegant.

   Noticing that Luo Sheng was paying attention to his clothes, Wei Han felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it at all.

   "My lord came early today." Luo Sheng turned sideways and said something casually.

   Wei Han stepped into the restaurant, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly after hearing this.

  I knew yesterday that there is a new dish called Grilled Pork Elbow, can you come earlier?

   After all, he can neither book nor enjoy any preferential treatment.

  After that, Wei Han couldn't care less about these things, Wu Zhanzhan's eyes swept over Shi Yan and the others who were snatching food, and completely cooled down.

  He thought that this boy Shi Yan had a good meal with Miss Luo, but he didn't expect that his life was so beautiful.

   This **** has forgotten what he was supposed to do, right?

  Familiar murderous aura struck, Shi Yan turned around abruptly, his eyes widened in horror when he saw Wei Han.

  The little guard quickly swallowed the delicious elbow meat in his mouth, and threw himself in front of Wei Han.

   "Master, you are here so early, please sit here!"

   Wei Han sat down and said in a calm tone, "If you didn't come so early, how could I see you eating elbows."

  Shi Yan almost knelt down: "Master, please listen to my explanation—"

  This is the first time to feast on the food first. Usually, I don’t have food until closing time.

   "No need to explain, let's serve." Wei Han's tone became colder.

  Listen to this **** explaining that he is happy to eat every day, and he still has to worry about whether he can eat it?

   "What do you want to eat today?" the little guard asked tearfully.

   "Three elbows, one amber melon, and a pot of shochu."

  Shi Yan stood still.

   Wei Han glanced at him.

  Under the mountainous pressure, Shi Yan explained firmly: "The owner said that there is a limit to the number of pork knuckles, and there are no more than two per table."

   "Is that so? How many elbows are there today?" Wei Han asked casually.

  Shi Yan blurted out: "Thirty."

   "Huh?" Wei Han raised his eyebrows, "Only ten tables are accepted, and each table is limited to two?"

  Where did the other ten elbows go?

   "Tomorrow let Shi Yi—"

   Before Wei Han could finish speaking, Shi Yan knelt down and hugged his thigh: "Master, I already have feelings for Dabai, you can't be so cruel—"

   Seeing Luo Sheng look over, Wei Han's face turned dark: "Get up."

  At this time, a voice came from the door: "The eleventh brother is here?"

   Wei Han looked over, and saw King Pingnan standing at the door, Princess Pingnan standing next to her, and the little Princess Wei Wen holding Princess Pingnan's arm.

  Luo Sheng also cast his gaze over at this moment.

  There was only one person she looked at, and that was King Pingnan.

   After fishing for so long, this big fish finally came.

  Her enemies are the Pingnan Palace and the prince. Given the current situation, it is too difficult to take action against the prince. It is appropriate to settle accounts with the Pingnan Palace first.

Pingnan King, Pingnan Princess, Crown Prince Wei Feng, Little Princess Wei Wen, there are four masters in the Pingnan Palace. It is safest to ensure that no one suspects her. .

  The first choice is naturally King Pingnan.

  Open a restaurant and kill a person.

   This business is not a loss.

   "Hongdou, don't entertain guests yet." Luo Sheng said calmly.

Good morning. Dear ones, remember to reward a ticket.
