Sun's relentless arguing continued, with her hurling insults, but soon it turned into cries of pain.
No one spoke for a moment; everyone looked at Old Man Gan, but he seemed not to hear them and urged everyone to eat.
This second daughter-in-law was truly outrageous today.
Gan Li was even less likely to plead for her. She remembered how Sun had called Gan Tian "little hussy" repeatedly. She hadn't dared to retaliate because of her second brother's feelings, but now that her second brother was taking action against someone, she not only didn't applaud, but she also tried to stop him?
She's bound to the "Saintly Mother System," but she's not some saintly saint herself! She wouldn't do something as stupid as someone defecating on her head and then handing them toilet paper.
So she ignored Sun's cries of pain and just kept urging everyone to eat.
Old Man Gan had already started eating, and now everyone was less reserved, taking turns picking up food.
The moment the dish entered their mouths, exclamations of surprise and delight rang out one after another.
Old Man Gan quickly picked up a piece of braised pork. This time, no one stopped him, and he finally managed to put the piece of pork into his mouth. After tasting it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes full of surprise.
The first thing he tasted when he put the meat in his mouth was the sweetness of the broth, but soon a salty and savory flavor followed. The aroma was hard to describe; it was a taste he had never experienced before.
The meat chunks were stewed to perfection, tender yet not mushy. With each bite, the fat seeped out, but it wasn't greasy at all. Instead, the aroma of the fat blended perfectly with the savory flavor of the meat, creating a soft, delicious, and unforgettable taste!
After swallowing one piece, Old Man Gan picked up another and tasted a different flavor. But no matter what the flavor was, it didn't have the pungent smell of pork!
Old Gan had been a cook for so many years and had tried countless methods to remove the smell of pork, but firstly, the cost was very high, and secondly, no matter how he tried, it was difficult to remove the smell completely.
But the pork my daughter cooked didn't have even the slightest hint of gamey smell! How come?
Could it be that the medicine she just put in is so potent?
As he pondered this, Old Man Gan reached for the bright red dish, which was supposedly called boiled sliced pork.
He recognized at a glance that the dish must be made with pork shoulder. This cut of meat is tender and rich in fat, and it is delicious whether stir-fried or boiled.
Just by looking at the cut of meat his daughter had chosen, Old Man Gan knew the dish would taste good, and after tasting it, he was right.
The sliced meat was tender and juicy, incredibly smooth. And I don't know what seasoning Ganli used, but in addition to the fresh and fragrant taste, my tongue also felt a numbing and spicy sensation, stimulating my mouth to produce a lot of saliva.
But this feeling doesn't make people feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it's addictive. Once you eat one piece, you can't wait to eat another!
After picking up two pieces, Old Man Gan was surprised to find that there were green vegetables underneath the meat slices. He tentatively tried a piece and found that the green vegetables had absorbed the flavor of the soup but still retained their freshness, making the dish even more delicious.
Although this dish and braised pork have different flavors, they are equally delicious.
What's even more remarkable is that the pork in this dish didn't have any strange smell at all... Could it be that the dish also contained the medicine that my daughter mentioned?
He was so curious that he asked the question.
Upon hearing this, Gan Li smiled and shook her head: "Of course not! These two dishes have different flavors and are prepared in different ways, so naturally the ingredients cannot be the same."
What she said was indeed correct, and Old Man Gan nodded in agreement. He could also taste the difference in the ingredients used in the two dishes, but he was still somewhat incredulous.
He thought that Baifulai only had one dish, braised lion's head meatballs, which was enough to be passed down as a signature dish and stand firm in the town.
He suddenly remembered that his daughter had mentioned wanting to open a restaurant in the courtyard. If he used these two dishes as signature dishes, then… Thinking of this, he excitedly looked up at Gan Li.
And Ganli seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile:
"Father, do you think I could survive if I opened a small eatery in town and used these two dishes as my signature dishes?"
"Yes, of course!" Old Gan exclaimed excitedly, his beard trembling.
Upon hearing this, Gan Mingli quickly added, "Little sister, if you really open a restaurant, let alone serving both of these dishes together, even just selling one dish, like this braised pork, the business would be quite good!"
The reason he only mentioned braised pork was not because boiled pork slices were not delicious, but because they were a bit spicy. Although they were addictive, they were not as universally appealing as braised pork, and he knew without a doubt that they would sell very well!
Even Zhao couldn't help but say, "It's really good... I think it tastes even better than Baifulai's lion's head meatballs!"
She had always looked down on her lazy and good-for-nothing sister-in-law, so the fact that she could say such a thing now showed that it came from the bottom of her heart.
Needless to say, Gan Tian was a little afraid of her aunt, but perhaps because the dishes were so delicious, the little girl couldn't help but praise them.
Even the seemingly wooden Gan Quan nodded in agreement, a rare occurrence.
When Old Mrs. Gan saw that her daughter's first move had garnered praise from everyone, she was overjoyed and said with a proud expression:
"That's right. My daughter didn't care before, but look at her now. What can't she do? I think you don't even need to ask us. Once you've thought it through, just do it. If you need any help from the family, just say so. We may not have much else, but we have plenty of people!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao was somewhat displeased.
"Although the matter of the secret recipe is completely settled, our job is also over. As soon as the whole family gets up, there are three meals a day waiting for them."
Especially the marriage between Quan'er and Qiao'er, both require money. I was even thinking of having his father find work at the docks to earn some money.”
Although she didn't mention Gan Li at all, everyone could tell that Zhao was still unhappy because of what Old Madam Gan had just said.
Grandma Gan's expression immediately turned sour. Seeing this, Gan Tian and Gan Qiao also became very cautious, and the atmosphere became much more silent.
Gan Mingli frowned: "Didn't I already say that the docks don't need people, and I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway? Wouldn't it be better if I stayed home and helped my little sister?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao became anxious and shouted, "You're so good to us, why don't you ask others for their help? Last time when our family had trouble, I still owed my parents twenty taels of silver. If you don't go looking for silver, where will we get those twenty taels?"
As Zhao spoke, she glanced at Ganli.
