A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Li Yi was chatting with Liu Yifei, and after a while, Shen Han arrived at the pick-up point.

The pick-up point is at the farmer's market on the outskirts of the city, and the goods Shen Han ordered are all stored in the warehouse of a boss.

Seeing Shen Han coming, the boss took them to the warehouse, pointed at the squeaking ingredients, and complained angrily: "Quickly get rid of all your stuff! It's dirty and smelly, it's killing people! "

"It's been hard work, let's smoke a cigarette."

Shen Han smiled and stuffed him with a pack of cigarettes, saying nice things.

Li Yi came to the cages and shelves, and looked at the humming and squawking Ningxiang pig inside, the Zhijiang duck who was having a lively chat with the Dongan native chicken next door, and other ingredients that were about to be served on the table. Assessing their activity, very pleased with the results.

Shen Han is still very reliable in his work, as long as the ingredients marked on his menu are bought by him.

After confirming that the ingredients were all right, he turned his head and nodded to Shen Han.

Seeing this, Shen Han was relieved, turned around and called the porter in, and called in a forklift to load all the ingredients into the truck.

Then, they went to the aquatic product market again, brought out all the fish they bought, and loaded them into the car.

Going straight to the designated slaughterhouse not far away, Shen Han found someone and planned to slaughter all the pigs.

But the butcher had only slaughtered big pigs, but not small pigs, so he didn't know how to start.

Seeing this, Li Yi stepped forward to borrow his knife, asked him to hold the little pig, opened his throat, stretched two fingers in, and cut off the artery inside.

Soon, blood spurted out of the little pig's mouth, and he died in a short while.

Seeing Li Yi's snappy movements, the butcher's expression changed.

After Li Yi finished washing his hands, the butcher surrounded him fawningly, handed him cigarettes, and asked him for advice on the trick just now.

This move was not considered a special skill, and Li Yi didn't hide his secrets, so he explained it to them carefully.

The butchers were very happy and reciprocated. They also helped him brush the slaughtered pig clean, shaved the hair, scalded the skin, and washed the pig intestines again.

After putting the pork and offal into the car, Shen Han drove Li Yi back to the hotel with the truck.

On the way back, Shen Han had already called the contacted forklift and loader to the back door of the hotel.

After the truck arrived, the stevedores and forklifts unloaded all the ingredients from the truck.

After hearing the movement, Liao Wendong came to the back door.

Seeing the live version of chicken, duck and fish unloaded from the truck, he couldn't help asking: "Are you going to open a zoo here?"

"These are all for tomorrow's banquet."

Shen Han explained a sentence, and then greeted: "Everyone come to help!"

When Liao Wendong saw this, he called everyone to come forward together, and hurriedly took all the ingredients back to the warehouse.

Looking at the assortment of various ingredients and seasonings, Liao Wendong exclaimed: "You have searched the entire Hunan Province! These things cost a lot just for shipping, right?"

"Let's not talk about the shipping fee, I spent more than 1,000 on the phone call!"

Shen Han smiled: "But finally the hard work paid off, and I bought everything that should be bought."

"Not easy."

Liao Wendong laughed and said, "I'm convinced. If I were to do it, I wouldn't have the heart to search for things everywhere."

As he said that, he praised Li Yi: "It's no wonder that your cooking is delicious. Just this kind of thinking adds 20% to the taste!"

Li Yi joked: "No pains, no gains, all the hard work, if the taste still doesn't improve, then my hard work is in vain?"

"Haha! Makes sense!"

Liao Wendong greeted warmly: "Let's go! I have almost prepared the dishes. I will fry two dishes and we can eat!"

After speaking, he brought Shen Han and Li Yi back to the back kitchen.

This time, the atmosphere in the back kitchen was completely different from that in the morning.

When the kitchen helpers saw Li Yi, they all greeted him warmly.

Several stoves were glowing, and it was almost lunch time, and guests had already started serving.

But Liao Wendong did not do it himself.

There are no important regular customers among these guests, the second chef and the third chef are enough to handle it.

In the innermost position, there is an empty stove, which is reserved for Liao Wendong.

"I'll cook a few dishes, and you can give me a review too!"

Liao Wendong was very excited, rolled up his sleeves, and said to Li Yi while getting ready.

"Communicate."

Li Yi said something with a smile, and stood behind Liao Wendong, observing.

Liao Wendong took a white radish, cut it into slices, and then shredded it, showing a wave of knife skills.

After he finished cutting, Shen Han on the side applauded applaudingly: "Good knife skills! Lao Liao, this knife skill is not the same as before!"

"Haha! This thing has to be practiced every day!"

Liao Wendong laughed, and wanted to brag a few more words, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Yi, and the nature of bragging disappeared immediately.

Compared with the knife skills Li Yi showed, his knife skills are still a little bit worse.

Put the shredded radish into a basin filled with clear water and soak it. Liao Wendong pointed to the prepared ingredients and asked Li Yi: "Eh? Master Li, do you want to guess what I want to cook? This dish You won’t be able to guess the dishes.”

Hearing this, Li Yi stepped forward and took a look.

There are several small bowls next to the pot and stove, and in the center of the small bowl are some red and white, some finely minced meat, which looks like beef and mutton.

There are some dried chilies, small green peppers, millet peppers, and garlic in a few small bowls next to them.

The ingredients in the two small bowls on the far right are quite special. One bowl is bean paste, and the other bowl is a lump of yellow butter.

Seeing these materials, Li Yi already had several guesses in his mind.

Afterwards, he stepped forward to pick up a piece of meat, looked it over, and then blurted out: "Drum skin? This dish is delicious!"

"Eh? You really know?"

Liao Wendong was very surprised, and then he laughed and said, "If this dish is not from Hunan Province, I really don't know."

Dagupi is a Tujia dish in the ZJJ area. Its original name is Dagupi.

The material it uses is the muscle between the ribs of Xiangxi Yellow Beef.

The meat in these places was originally the minced meat that was shaved when the cattle were slaughtered.

Because it is attached to the fascia, the taste is fresh and tender yet soft and crisp, so it has become a special dish instead.

"Haha! This dish is also my favorite, it's a must with wine!"

Liao Wendong smiled and said, "Let's have a good drink later!"

With that said, he began to fry.

Watching his operation, Li Yi was also brought back some memories.

In the imperial dining room, there is an imperial chef named Yu Jiu, who is from Hunan Province. He usually uses some shaved leftovers, bones, skin and meat to stir-fry with wine.

Li Yi also drank wine with him a few times before, and was deeply impressed by the fried bone skin.

After Yu Jiu was done frying, he would put it in a casserole and set it on the stove to simmer slowly. He ate the vegetables while drinking, and every time there were several imperial chefs together, drinking them thoroughly.

Li Yi also learned this fried bone skin casserole from him, hosted a banquet for the enamel craftsmen, drank and bragged together, and only learned the method of making cloisonne from them little by little.

Soon, Liao Wendong fried the drum skin, added a ladle of water to it, and started to simmer on low heat.

However, after seeing him add water, Li Yi shook his head: "It's too early to add water, it would be better to add water after frying for two minutes."
