Chapter 17: Delicious Pig Tripe and Chicken

Ye Shuyi thought to herself, "What does this have to do with me, Auntie? I'm here to work for the young master, so it's not my place to get involved in this kind of thing!"

"Miss Ye, you are so beautiful!" Auntie added, "You and our young master are a perfect match."

"Auntie! I'm just here to cook!" Ye Shuyi quickly explained to prevent the other party from getting more outrageous.

"Oh oh oh, Auntie knows, knows!" She said this, but her eyes were ambiguous.

Ye Shuyi suddenly wanted to escape.

"Butler Xue, where is the kitchen? I have to prepare food for the young master quickly." Ye Shuyi said, "Auntie, I'm leaving first. Bye!"

"Bye! See you next time!" said the aunt with a smile.

The kitchen is large and bright, and you can see the beautiful beach through the large glass windows.

It's a sea view room.

Several aunts were wearing white chef uniforms and chef hats.

"Miss Ye, if you need anything, just tell us. We can do anything!" said an aunt.

"Yes, Miss Ye, we are all chefs from the Island Hotel. Don't be afraid, we won't mess it up."

"It's just that the young master doesn't like the food we cook."

After hearing this, Ye Shuyi once again sighed that the Chen family was really rich.

Can you hire a chef from a big hotel whenever you want, and even bring him back to be your personal chef?

It turns out that it does.

What would happen if there was another rich person like me in the world?

"Okay, Auntie, I will call you if I need you. Well, you can also watch how I cook and then make it for the young master." Ye Shuyi smiled affably.

"Really?" the aunts were surprised.

If they learn this, the young master will never have to go hungry again.

But will Ye Shuyi lose her job because of this?

"Really? Auntie, good things should be spread. After all, everyone is concerned about the young master's health."

"Okay!" they said in unison.

What Ye Shuyi is going to make today is pork tripe and chicken + sizzling chicken pot + garlic sweet potato leaves.

Wash the pig's stomach inside and out, and scrape off the fascia with a knife to remove the fishy smell.

The chicken should be gutted and free of fat to make it lighter and less greasy.

Both must be soaked in water with ingredients added to completely remove the fishy smell.

Ye Shuyi was immersed in cooking, and the other aunts were watching.

"Why does white pepper have to be ground into powder?" an aunt asked puzzled.

"This will allow the flavor of white pepper to evaporate more easily and spread throughout the entire pot," Ye Shuyi explained.

"Oh, and here, put the white pepper into the chicken's stomach, and the chicken into the pig's stomach. Don't open it, make sure it's sealed. I use needle and thread to seal it, and you can use toothpicks if you don't have enough materials." Ye Shuyi pointed out the points to note.

To make this dish, you must be patient and follow every step carefully. In particular, the chicken and pork stomach must be cleaned and rubbed with cooking wine, salt, and cornstarch to remove the fishy smell. Otherwise, it will have a very unpleasant smell after cooking.

This is also the reason why some people don’t like to eat pig stomach chicken.

This combination is a pure Cantonese dish that is healthy, nutritious, light, appetizing and extremely delicious.

White pepper is a treasure in Guangdong. People with cold body can try it.

The pig stomach chicken also needs to be added with health-preserving Qingbaoliang, such as red dates, wolfberry, longan, codonopsis, astragalus, polygonatum, yam...

These are common ingredients for making soup here. As a Cantonese native, she has been drinking them since she was a child.

Once, she introduced Cantonese soup ingredients to a northerner, and he was very surprised. Isn't this a traditional Chinese medicine? How can you use it to make soup?

In fact, Yuefu soup is inextricably linked to traditional Chinese medicine, as is herbal tea.

After working for a long time, the pig stomach soup is finally ready.

While waiting for the pork tripe soup, the jelly chicken pot and sweet potato leaves are also ready.

It is best to use a clay pot for chicken stew.

"Aunties, I made a little more on purpose. Would you please try it first and see if it suits your taste?"

"Ah? Do we all have something to eat?" Auntie was surprised.

"Of course, after all, you can cook this dish for the young master in the future, so it would be better if you try it!"

Hearing Ye Shuyi say this, the aunts also felt that it made sense. Most importantly, that dish smelled so good! It was both delicious and fragrant.

I don’t know what it tastes like.

Aunt Li picked up a piece to taste.

“Yeah!!!” He nodded repeatedly.

This is the most delicious pig stomach chicken she has ever eaten!

It’s fresh, tender and tasty, not fishy at all. The chicken and pork belly are perfectly blended, full of flavor and deliciousness!

“This jelly chicken pot is so tasty!”

"Yes! It's better than what my master made!"

"Who is your master?" someone asked.

"Hong Kong Island's number one chef, Xie Liuhua." The aunt replied.

This is a legendary existence.

Xie Liuhua is the head chef at the most famous hotel in Hong Kong Island, the Fong Xun Wei Hotel.

He has many disciples, most of whom are famous chefs.

It is very rare for Ye Shuyi to receive praise such as "her food tastes better than his".

"Auntie, I still have room for improvement. If I get the chance, I'll definitely go to Chef Xie for advice!" Ye Shuyi wasn't joking; she really meant it. Experts always appreciate each other.

However, Chef Xie still didn't know about Ye Shuyi's existence.

After trying it, everyone was amazed.

At first I thought Chef Xie’s apprentice was exaggerating, but now I think it’s correct.

They suddenly hoped that Ye Shuyi would come more often so that they could also have some delicious food.

Not to mention the young master, they would all be obsessed with him.

The aunts enthusiastically helped Ye Shuyi serve the dishes.

When Chen Nanfeng heard that dinner was about to start, he threw the documents on the table and came over.

"What are we having for dinner today?" The thing Chen Nanfeng has been looking forward to most these past two days is eating.

It’s so annoying to look at documents and business information every day.

I can't go out to investigate the case.

He couldn't wait to open the lid.

The steaming and fragrant pig stomach chicken is presented before your eyes.

"It smells so good!" My mouth is watering.

He picked up dishes and ate rice smoothly.

He didn't even say a word, he just kept eating.

The aunts present were all stunned.

Ye Shuyi was fine, after all, she had seen him eating in the restaurant in a miserable state.

"Master, are you okay?" Aunt Li asked with concern.

She is an elder in the Li family and has watched the young master grow up since he was a child.

This is the first time I see the young master eating like this.

It usually feels like taking medicine, and I even feel nauseous and want to vomit when eating her food.

This caused her to fall into self-doubt for a month.

The young master has anorexia.

Their task is to ensure that the young master has a good meal.

But for more than 20 years, there has never been any success.

They all felt sorry for the young master. After all, he couldn't even enjoy the joy of delicious food.

What a pity.

This Miss Ye is not simple!

As soon as it arrived, it conquered the young master's stomach.

This was equivalent to conquering him completely.

Young master, you can’t live without her.

"I'm fine. Go ahead and do your work." Chen Nanfeng finished a bowl of rice in a few gulps and asked Aunt Zhang to serve another bowl.

It’s so delicious.

So happy.

During this break, Chen Nanfeng asked Ye Shuyi, "How is it? Is the environment here nice?"

More than nice? Ye Shuyi had never seen a more luxurious house than this.

"Very good." she replied.

Chen Nanfeng asked expectantly, "Can you be my personal chef?"
