Chapter 485 Roast Suckling Pig

"People with skills are arrogant. Lao He's craftsmanship must be amazing!"

Although Guan Ju'er is simple, he has met many people and knows that most craftsmen have bad tempers, but they are respected by others. Li Ziyi is a proud person, and he actually makes friends with Lao He. He definitely knows how to cook. His skills are amazing, otherwise Li Ziyi would not be able to get along with Lao He.

"It seems, Guan Guan, you still have a pair of discerning eyes!"

Li Ziyi glanced at Guan Ju'er in surprise. It seemed that although Guan Ju'er was simple, he was not stupid and sweet. He had his own unique understanding of people. From the original work, he knew how proud Andy was. Even if Qu Xiaoxiao was flattering, although she had done some help to Qu Xiaoxiao, she could not get close to Qu Xiaoxiao. Instead, she took great care of Guan Ju'er and was not only willing to drive to Guan Ju'er every day. Ju'er went to work and was willing to give guidance to Guan Ju'er at work, which shows that Guan Ju'er has his own set of standards for how to behave.

"That's not true. I can't compare with you!"

Guan Ju'er modestly said that she is very self-aware and knows that she has little contact with society, so her views on people and things are still very naive, and she is incomparable to Li Ziyi.

“It’s already amazing!”

Li Ziyidao was not modest either. He knew very well what his abilities were. Guan Ju'er's experience was shallow and indeed inferior to that of the old monster he had experienced for many lives.

Li Ziyi and Guan Juer talked about their experiences in the past few years in this small private room, and talked about their current situation. It was the first time for the two of them to be so close to each other in this simple restaurant, and their relationship became closer unknowingly. , the distance between the two people continues to shorten, and they are getting closer to each other. I believe it won't be long before they can get together.

"coming!"

Lao He was holding a tray. There was a roasted suckling pig on the tray. The golden skin made a crackling sound of oil. There were even oil spots splashing out on the roasted suckling pig. As the roasted suckling pig approached, a burst of A strong fragrance filled the noses of Li Ziyi and Guan Ju'er, making people's index fingers move and their mouths watering.

Lao He put the tray on the table, picked up the knife in the tray, and decomposed the roasted suckling pig with a few cuts. Then he picked up the knife, said hello to Li Ziyi and left.

"You are an expert, introduce this dish to your girlfriend yourself, and save me some trouble!"

"Okay, you're busy!"

Li Ziyi knew that there were other guests today and Lao He needed to greet them, so he was not polite to him.

"The first time you came, I didn't greet you well. If you come again in the future, I will make two more special dishes to apologize!"

Lao He spoke to Guan Ju'er for the first time and said very politely.

"Brother He, you are so polite. My name is Guan Ju'er. I will definitely come in the future!"

Guan Juer quickly stood up, greeted Lao He, and said sincerely.

"Okay, Xiaoguan, right? You don't mind that Lao He is a rough cook. If you call me big brother, I will naturally recognize you as a girl. You must come to big brother's place often in the future. Big brother will prepare delicious food for you!"

Lao He was very happy and shouted loudly. His hands as big as cattails kept beating his chest, making a loud banging sound.

"Okay, Brother He, I will definitely come here often in the future!"

Guan Ju'er did not reject Lao He's approach and called him "big brother" again, which made Lao He smile so hard that his mouth widened.

"You kid must take good care of my girl. If you dare to bully him, I won't spare you!"

Lao He threatened Li Ziyi, clenched his fist, and then walked away.

"Hurry up and sit down and try your brother He's craftsmanship!"

Li Ziyi said with some jealousy that his relationship with Guan Ju'er has not been established yet, but Guan Ju'er and Lao He have become brothers and sisters, which makes Li Ziyi a little jealous.

Guan Ju'er covered his mouth and smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits. Apparently, he was a little surprised and amused by the childish Li Ziyi at this time. He did not expect that the mature and steady Li Ziyi had such a childish side.

Li Ziyi put a piece of roasted suckling pig on Guan Juer's plate, and then started to introduce the history of roasted suckling pig to Guan Juer.

"Suckling pig is the most famous specialty dish in Guangzhou and is one of the main dishes in the "Man-Han Banquet". As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, this dish was listed as one of the "Eight Delicacies" and was called "cannon pig" at that time.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Jia Sixie had already recorded roasted suckling pig as an important cooking technology achievement in "Qi Min Yao Shu". He wrote: The color is the same as amber, but also like real gold, it disappears when you enter it, it is as strong as snow, and it contains pulp and cream, which is extraordinary and ordinary. "

"Selection of raw pigs. The raw pigs for barbecue should be fragrant pigs from Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. Such as Congjiang fragrant pig, Huanjiang fragrant pig and Bama fragrant pig. You can also use local breed pigs in Central and South China. Choose 45-day pigs. A suckling pig of about 7 to 8 kilograms of age, healthy, with no scars on the skin and good body fat.”

"Pigs need to be fed with glutinous rice or rice to make their meat tender and tender. Then they are carefully roasted with unique techniques and skilled firework to make their skin yellow and translucent, then cut into pieces and served on a plate, mixed with green onion sauce and white sugar. When eaten, the taste is sweet and crunchy, the meat is tender and sweet, and it has the effects of nourishing the heart and lungs, and nourishing the skin.”

"According to the records of "Qing Bai Lei Chao": In the "Manchu Banquet", "after three rounds of wine, the pigs were roasted. The waiters and servants all came in in formal attire, and the waiters treated them. The servants took off the knives they wore and cut them. Put it in a vessel, bend one knee to offer it to the special guest who is the first one, pick up the chopsticks, and then the person who made the seat will taste it, this is a grand ceremony."

Li Ziyi was very familiar with the allusions and origins of roast suckling pig, and Guan Ju'er admired them one by one.

Guan Ju'er listened to Li Ziyi's introduction, picked up the roasted suckling pig on the plate, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth. The pig skin was crispy and sweet, and the pork was soft, waxy and tender, fragrant but not greasy, leaving a fragrant taste on his lips and teeth. , simply a pleasure.

"Delicious!"

Guan Ju'er covered his mouth and praised softly.

"Lao He's craftsmanship is indeed outstanding. He is good at many dishes at the Man-Han Banquet!"

Li Ziyi also ate a piece and tasted it carefully. Lao He's craftsmanship had improved. It seemed that he had improved on the shortcomings he had mentioned to him before, so he was able to make such a delicious roast suckling pig. .

"Brother He's craftsmanship is indeed amazing. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious roasted suckling pig!"

Although Guan Ju'er does not come from a wealthy family, he is still a middle-class family with a well-off family. He has eaten a lot of delicious food and visited many restaurants, but none of the restaurants' food is as good as today's roast suckling pig.

"It is difficult for ordinary restaurant chefs to have such solid skills as Lao He!"

Li Ziyi gave a very fair evaluation of Lao He's craftsmanship. Lao He's craftsmanship was no worse than the so-called national chef's craftsmanship, and was even slightly better. Lao He just didn't want to waste his energy on fame and fortune, and wasted his time studying cooking skills. Only if he has the opportunity will he guard his own small restaurant, otherwise he would have become famous long ago.

"If you like it, just eat more. When we have time in the future, we can come together so that you can always make other specialties!"

Li Ziyi once again helped Guan Ju'er pick up the food and said softly.

"Um!"

Guan Ju'er didn't object, just nodded obediently, but kept eating delicious food in his mouth.
