Chapter 222 Braised Pork Knuckle and Secret Roast Chicken
"Another distinguished guest has arrived! It's the Wan Mansion's carriage!" Jia Que'er shouted excitedly.
Jinbao asked his guards to come in with gifts, and the scene instantly became quiet.
The villagers whispered to each other, "It's obvious that this is a wealthy family. The Li family is really prestigious."
"Wanfu? Which Wanfu?"
"Which other Wanfu could there be? There is only one Wanfu in Haining."
"No way, so awesome?"
"Damn it! I finally saw a living Wanfu person."
The Li family rushed to greet them, including the village chief and the clerk.
Jinbao bowed to them and said, "Congratulations on your new home! My son is very busy with his studies and cannot come to congratulate you personally, so he specially sent me to give you all the gifts for your new home."
Old man Li was so happy that he lost his mind and could only laugh, with his expression a little stiff.
Li Erlang smiled and replied, "No, no, Young Master Jing is very busy and should focus on his studies. Brother Jinbao, you are so kind to visit my humble home and make it more glorious."
Li Erlang imitated the polite words he learned at the market and said, "You are tired from the journey. Please come in. There are people to take care of the carriage."
Everyone knew that Li Erlang was just being polite, and they all thought that Jinbao would just say a few polite words and leave, but they didn't expect that the other party actually agreed.
Jinbao turned to look at Li Yuer and said, "Yubaoer, the master asked me to tell you something. If you have something new, remember to think of our master first."
Li Yuer nodded and said, "Of course, of course. Brother Jinbao has grown taller again. He is taller than Yubaoer now."
"Really? Hahahaha."
Jinbao was very happy when Li Yuer praised him. You see, even if Li Yuer said that he had grown taller and was taller than Zhaocai, he still refused to admit it.
The Li family invited Jinbao to the best table, and the villagers stretched their necks to look inside.
"Did you see that? They are just guards, but they are all wearing shiny clothes. The Wan family is just rich and powerful."
"They are all wearing leather boots, the cheapest pair costs five hundred coins. They must be the noble entourage."
"This Li family is truly amazing. Even the Wan Mansion has come to congratulate them."
"Don't be jealous. We have benefited a lot from the Li family. My two boys built a house for the Li family. In less than two months, they made two and a half taels."
"Your guys are all on Ma Daqiang's team, right? They do manual labor, and they get paid five cents more a day than the others."
"Two taels of silver is enough to marry a wife. You are so lucky, my son saved up enough for the betrothal gift in no time."
"That's all thanks to the Li family."
"My family also earned more than one or two taels of silver, and I plan to save it to buy a cow for my son."
"It's a blessing for our village that the Li family settled in our village. Shouldn't we also benefit from it?"
"That's right. My wife works at the Li family making silk flowers, which are things women wear. She makes a lot of money."
……
When all the guests arrived, Li Laosan led his brothers to serve the dishes.
Different from other restaurants, Li Yuer added a segment of announcing the dishes to the buffet.
Li Laosan and his friends were holding a dish in their hands and called out the name of the dish: "Braised pork elbow!"
The rosy and fragrant Dongpo pork elbow immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"This is so delicious! If you eat this dish, you won't even know your ears have been cut off!"
"Who did this? How come it's so amazing!"
"The Li family hired a chef? That's really nice!"
A dish of Dongpo pork elbow was served on the table.
Old man Li picked up his chopsticks and said, "Everyone, try this dish that I made myself."
Li Erlang introduced with a smile: "This dish is called braised pork elbow, which is made with a variety of secret seasonings. It tastes soft, tender and fragrant, and has a strong sauce flavor. Please try it."
In fact, this dish is the Dongpo Elbow in the previous life. It was only because there was no Su Dongpo in this dynasty that Li Yuer changed the name to Braised Elbow.
Li Dalang had already cut the elbow with a knife in advance, but did not separate them. When eating, just pick up a piece directly without tearing it.
In this dynasty, people paid attention to eating in an elegant manner, and tearing food on the spot was considered impolite.
After some politeness, Old Man Li started eating, and the others followed suit.
After taking a bite of the braised pork elbow, the soft and fragrant texture and the taste of the special seasoning combination immediately conquered everyone.
Shopkeeper Qian's eyes sparkled. If this dish were served at Nongchaolou, it would definitely be one of the top ten signature dishes.
He and Lai Fu looked at each other and understood each other.
When he wanted to pick up the food with his second chopsticks, he found that the plate was empty.
Just the brief moment of eye contact was gone.
The same was true for other tables. Basically each person only got one piece, but fortunately it was quite large.
Some children finished eating and then clamored for more food. When they saw the empty plates, they started crying out of greed.
The parent covered the child's mouth in embarrassment and coaxed him, "There are better foods in the back. Our jujube's stomach is so small. If we only eat one kind, there will be no room in the back."
When the child heard this, he stopped crying immediately and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.
Many adults were also aroused by the braised pork elbow. They kept drooling and waited eagerly for the next dish.
As expected, the next dish arrived soon.
Li Laosan's brothers held large plates and sang the name of the dish: "Secret Roast Chicken!"
The secret roast chicken is a whole chicken, which is not shredded in advance, so that everyone can see the whole picture of the roast chicken.
The golden roast chicken had been hanging in the oven in the back kitchen, simmering on a low fire. At this moment, everyone couldn't take their eyes off the aroma of the roast chicken.
Even people like Qian Zhanggui and Jinbao, who often tasted delicious food, were attracted by the color, aroma and taste of the roast chicken and couldn't take a look.
Jinbao exclaimed: "I have eaten all over the country following you, Master, but this is the first time I have seen a roast chicken that is so appetizing."
Shopkeeper Qian stroked his beard and agreed, "Not bad. In terms of appearance alone, this secret roast chicken is as good as the Jade Chicken at Nongchao Tower."
Lai Fu blinked his eyes and said: Boss, you are really good at bragging. This definitely looks better than the Emerald Chicken.
Li Laosan began to introduce the secret roast chicken: "The secret roast chicken is roasted with honey and a variety of spices. It tastes tender, juicy, sweet and delicious."
After saying this briefly, he cleaned his hands with the white wet rag next to the plate and began to tear the roast chicken.
There are some tricks to tearing the roast chicken. It must be done quickly and evenly, otherwise the aroma of the roast chicken will dissipate and the fat will cool down.
The shredded roast chicken was placed in the original order, "Please enjoy your meal."
After eating a piece of secret roast chicken, the taste mixed with various spices and honey instantly awakens the taste buds of the guests. It is sweet with fragrance, and the sweetness of honey is not the greasy sweetness of sugar. It is mixed with the fragrance of unknown flowers, which is sweet but not greasy.
The chicken is roasted to be tender and juicy, and it tastes so tender and fresh.
The villagers at other tables were all jealous, but since the village chief and government officials were present at the table, they did not dare to rush for food and ate politely.
Only at the Sun family, the roast chicken magically disappeared before Shitou could finish naming the dish or tear the chicken into pieces. Soon, there was a pile of chicken bones on the table, and the children of the Sun family were still licking their dirty fingers.
Shi Tou felt so sick after seeing this that he ran away with the plate.
