Xiao Yunying steamed the marinated pigeons until cooked, then called to the waiter at the door, "Someone go check on the rabbit meat in the main kitchen. Find a chef to taste it, and if it's good, bring it up."

The waiter on the left responded, and Xiao Yunying remembered something: "Wait a minute, I put chili peppers in the rabbit meat. It's a kind of seasoning from overseas. It might taste a little strange, like star anise and Sichuan peppercorns. It's not a problem with the dish. Have them pick out the red chili peppers when they serve it, so that the guests don't accidentally eat them."

When chili peppers are added to dishes, their spiciness is diluted, making it acceptable to many people. However, if you put chili peppers directly in your mouth, it can be quite stimulating, and first-timers might not be able to handle it. Let's not scare people.

"yes."

The waiter soon brought over a small bowl and said at the door, "Miss, may I come in?"

"Come in."

Xiao Yunying was preparing to make Four Happiness Meatballs. The meat filling had been marinated for a while, so there was no need to take out the seasonings now.

The waiter handed over a small bowl: "The chefs all said it was the first time they had tasted this flavor and they were unsure what to do, so they let the young lady try it herself."

Xiao Yunying picked up a piece of rabbit meat and ate it: "The saltiness is just right, no need to season it, just serve it up and take it upstairs."

She put down her chopsticks, washed the pot clean, and poured in a lot of oil, preparing to fry something.

Four Happiness Meatballs are made by adding chopped pork belly, appropriate amounts of minced scallions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorn water, beaten eggs, cooking wine, salt, and starch to the minced pork and stirring until the meat mixture becomes firm.

Finally, add diced water chestnuts to enhance the texture, mix well, and set aside.

Once the oil is hot, shape the minced meat into slightly larger balls, put them into the oil, and fry until golden brown.

Xiao Yunying pulled the firewood out of the oil pan stove hole to lower the oil temperature.

In a separate pot, add an appropriate amount of soy sauce, water, cooking wine, star anise, and scallion segments. Add the lion's head meatballs, bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the broth and arrange them on a plate. Strain the broth to remove the star anise and scallion segments, then pour it into a clean pot and bring it to a boil. Thicken the broth with cornstarch slurry, and pour it over the meatballs while it's still hot.

The four-happiness meatballs are now ready – golden in color, savory and tender, with a clear sauce and a delicious flavor.

While the meatballs were stewing, Xiao Yunying deep-fried the marinated meat strips.

While scooping out the meat strips, she was in a hurry and her movements were a bit large. She didn't notice for a moment and the back of her hand touched the side of the pot.

"oops."

Xiao Yunying immediately threw away the ladle and went to the water vat to scoop water to wash the back of her hands.

The waiter waiting at the door heard the voice and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yunying shook the water droplets off her hands: "It's nothing."

The few strips of meat that hadn't been scooped out of the pot were a bit dark in color, so she put them on another plate, intending to eat them herself later.

"We can't waste it."

Remove the firewood from under the oil pot to lower the oil temperature, then scoop out the stewed Four Happiness Meatballs. Thicken the original broth with cornstarch and pour it over the meatballs: "The Four Happiness Meatballs are ready, come in and serve them."

She placed the plate on the tray, and the waiter noticed that the back of her right hand was bright red: "Young lady, did you burn yourself?"

"It's alright. I was in too much of a hurry and didn't notice for a moment. Please serve the dishes quickly, so as not to keep our distinguished guests waiting."

The business deal that Mr. Wang was discussing was beneficial to all the people of Donglin City, and it also concerned the reputation of Huiweilou, so she had to do her best.

She herself is an incompetent and lazy person who can't do anything great for the country or the people. She can't let others do good deeds stand in her way.

After washing the pot, I started making the braised pork slices.

Braised pork slices is a very simple home-style dish. Since there are no cucumbers or wood ear mushrooms here, she uses cabbage stalks as a substitute as a side dish.

Slice the thicker part of the cabbage stalk diagonally to make it easier for the flavors to penetrate.

Take a bowl and add appropriate amounts of salt, light soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, sugar, chicken powder, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.

Heat oil in a wok, add minced scallions, ginger, and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add sliced ​​cabbage stalks and stir-fry briefly. Then add the fried meat pieces and finally pour in the prepared sauce. Stir-fry over high heat until well combined and serve.

The waiter who delivered the braised rabbit meat has returned. Xiao Yunying plated it and said, "The stir-fried meat slices are ready, come and take them."

Wash the wok thoroughly, remove the firewood underneath, and rekindle the fire in the large oil wok stove.

Take the steamed pigeon out and pat the skin dry with kitchen paper.

When the oil is heated until it smokes, put in the pigeons and fry until golden brown, then remove them from the oil.

The crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fried pigeon is now ready.

Cut it into six pieces with a kitchen knife, then arrange them back into the original shape on a plate.

Xiao Yunying arranged the two pigeons, took a small bowl of dipping sauce, poured in salt and pepper, and put a small spoon in the bowl.

"Come in, the deep-fried pigeon is ready."

Xiao Yunying placed the plate on the table: "This bowl contains a dipping sauce called salt and pepper. Dipping your food in it gives it a unique flavor. I recommend our distinguished guests try it."
