Chapter 418 This is going to starve him to death
I don’t know if I thought of Chen Huazheng and her delicious food.
Mr. Huang was still handling official business when his stomach suddenly started to growl.
After finally making it to the end of his shift, he decided to go to Yipintang to try the new dishes.
I heard that Yipinlou has launched a dish called Candied Pork Knuckle.
Just by hearing the name, you know that this is a dish made with rock sugar and pork elbow.
It’s either salty-sweet or sour-sweet food.
If it were in the past, Mr. Huang would definitely find it strange to hear about sweet meat.
Meat dishes should be made into salty dishes, how can sugar be added?
But after tasting the sweet and sour spareribs, Mr. Huang’s idea that “meat can only be made into salty dishes” was immediately overturned.
Later dishes such as sweet and sour fish, preserved plum pork ribs, osmanthus pork ribs and teriyaki chicken legs shocked him again and again.
It turns out that meat doesn’t have to be salty.
Sweet and sour, sweet and salty, and sweet and spicy are all delicious.
As soon as Mr. Huang stepped into the Yipin Building, the waiter came to greet him.
"Sir, would you like to eat here or take away the food?"
Mr. Huang looked at the busy hall and asked: "Is there any vacant seat in the private room or the private dining room if we want to eat here?"
In fact, it didn’t matter to him which floor he ate on, but there was obviously no room left on the first floor.
If you want to eat on the first floor, you may have to wait for a table.
In that case, you might as well pay a little more and go to the second or third floor.
The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "Sir, the private rooms on the second floor and the private rooms on the third floor are all fully booked. If you want to eat here, you may have to wait."
It's dinner time now. If you come a little later, you won't be able to find even an empty table at Yipinlou.
Not to mention the private rooms and elegant rooms.
If you don't have a reservation, you will have to wait to eat.
Mr. Huang:......
How could he have forgotten that it is so difficult to get a table at Yipinlou?
Both private rooms and private rooms must be booked in advance.
But he had to wait for a table here while smelling the delicious food.
Isn't this going to starve him to death?? ! ! !
Just when he was thinking about whether to leave Yipinlou and go to the food court to find food, a familiar voice sounded -
"Master Huang, what a coincidence."
Lord Huang looked up and saw that the person coming was none other than Lord Xiao, the Minister of Works.
A smile appeared on his face: "Master Xiao, what a coincidence, you are here to eat too?"
Master Xiao smiled and nodded: "I heard that there is a dish called rock sugar pork elbow here, so I came to try it."
As he said this, he looked at the waiter beside him and said, "I have booked a private room."
The waiter said respectfully, "Sir, please follow me."
Lord Xiao: "Lord Huang, I saw you just now and it seems like you want a private room. If you don't mind, you can come with me. I'm alone anyway."
Mr. Huang was delighted and said, "Sorry for bothering you then."
It just so happened that Lord Xiao also came here to eat the candied pork elbow like him.
Isn't that just a coincidence?
The two of them sat down in the private room, and the waiter quickly served them tea.
Lord Huang and Lord Xiao had surprisingly similar tastes; they quickly ordered the dishes and asked the waiter to place the order.
Lord Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
However, I haven't been here for a while, and when I looked at the menu just now, I found that there were many new dishes.
There are so many dishes I haven’t tried in Yipintang alone, not to mention the food court.
Originally, he was worried that during the time when Shen Huazheng and the other two were away from the capital, Yipinlou and Food Street might not introduce new food.
Thinking about it now, this worry is really unnecessary.
Obviously, there are still many things he hasn't tasted yet. Just eating these should be enough to keep him full until Shen Huazheng comes back.
"This time, the Sino-Agricultural Ministry sent so many people out of the capital. Lord Huang must be very uncomfortable with this."
Mr. Huang put down his teacup and said, "The Ministry of Industry has also sent a lot of people out. How do you feel, Mr. Xiao?"
Although the Sino-Agricultural Ministry sent the most people to various places, the Ministry of Works also sent quite a few people.
After all, in addition to promoting potato planting, Emperor Jingning also hopes to practice it in places in Daliang that are suitable for developing greenhouses.
Lord Xiao smiled and said, "It's still the same as before. We still have to do what needs to be done."
Mr. Huang agreed: "Indeed."
Even if the capable people are no longer around, the tasks assigned by His Majesty must still be completed diligently and responsibly.
Neither of them was talkative, so after a few pleasantries they began to drink tea, and the private room suddenly became quiet.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the waiter to bring the dishes they ordered.
In addition to the pork elbow in rock sugar, there are also braised pig's tendon, steamed clams in wine, fish head and tofu casserole and a portion of green vegetables.
The table was filled to the brim with delicious food.
The most eye-catching dish is the candied pork elbow, which is made from the front pork elbow.
The fat and big pork elbows were placed obediently on the plate, and the skin was as red and translucent as red agate, which looked very tempting.
Lord Xiao took a deep breath of the aroma in the air and raised his chopsticks: "Lord Huang, please."
Mr. Huang also raised his chopsticks: "Mr. Xiao, please."
The next moment, both of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and tacitly stretched out their chopsticks to their favorite dishes and started eating.
Lord Xiao used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the elbow and put it in his bowl.
The pork elbow with rock sugar was stewed until it was extremely soft, and the gelatin hidden in the skin and meat also melted into the soup.
Because rock sugar was added during the stewing process and when frying the sugar color, the juice on the elbow was very thick and could even be pulled into threads.
When you take a bite, you will find the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, fresh, fragrant and with an indescribable sense of solidity.
Every bite is filled with the rich aroma of pork.
The fragrant sauce was so thick that I couldn’t open my mouth after eating it.
Although Mr. Huang came here for the candied pork elbow, when he smelled the aroma of the steamed clams in wine, he immediately picked up a clam with chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
After careful steaming, the clams present an attractive golden color and are full of fragrance.
Mr. Huang picked up the clam meat and put it into his mouth.
The sand in the clams is spit out completely, and there is no gritty feeling when eating them.
It is smooth, juicy and slightly chewy.
The clam meat is full of the aroma of wine and the salty flavor of the sauce. When you chew it, the sweet taste accompanied by a complex aroma bursts on the tip of your tongue and then sweeps across your entire mouth.
While chewing, you can still smell the faint aroma of wine, which is very delicious.
After swallowing the clams in his mouth, Mr. Huang tasted a piece of candied pork elbow and was immediately amazed by its crispy, fragrant and soft texture.
Chew it carefully, the elbow is salty and sweet, soft and tasty, it is really delicious!!
Lord Xiao ate a large piece of pork elbow and then turned his gaze to the equally bright and rosy braised pig's trotter tendon on the table.
He picked up a piece of tendon with chopsticks. The tendon, which was stewed till soft, trembled slightly as he moved the chopsticks.
During the stewing process, the sauce has seeped into every bit of tendon.
The tendons are thick, elastic and chewy.
After chewing it, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of sauce.
Lord Xiao's eyes lit up as he felt the fragrance in his mouth.
He scooped up a spoonful of the braised sauce with a spoon and poured it over the rice.
The milky white rice grains are dipped in the bright brown-red sauce, which is fresh and fragrant.
Lord Xiao picked up a handful of rice with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The rice is soaked up with the rich sauce, and the salty and fresh taste is accompanied by the sweetness of the rice itself.
As you eat, you can still smell the mellow meat aroma, it is very delicious.
The rice with the sauce was so delicious that Lord Xiao couldn't stop eating it and ate half a bowl in just a few bites.
Lord Huang took a look at Lord Xiao's thin body and sighed silently in his heart.
Lord Xiao eats so much but is still so thin. It must be because he worries too much.
The Ministry of Works is good, but how can it be compared to the Sinong Temple which is not content with the world?
Fortunately, Lord Xiao Shen did not go to the Ministry of Works at that time, otherwise he would have had to join in their intrigues.
It's not as leisurely as being in the Forestry Bureau. You don't have to deal with people who have as many tricks as a sieve. You just need to take good care of the vegetables and fruits in the field.
Besides, the ingredients in other government offices are not as fresh as those in Sinong Temple.
Apart from anything else, just the fact that the food is delicious makes Sinong Temple the winner.
Maybe Master Shen himself won't want to leave Sinong Temple in the future.
Thinking of this, Mr. Huang was in a good mood and started eating again.
He tried this, then that, and couldn't stop eating.
Lord Xiao was also busy eating without saying a word.
I have to say, the dishes on this table are all delicious.
The pork elbow with rock sugar is crispy, soft and glutinous, and melts in your mouth. The braised pig tendon is full of gelatin and is particularly chewy.
Steamed clams in wine not only retain the original flavor of the clams, but also incorporate the aroma of wine, adding a unique flavor.
As you chew, the fresh aroma from the ocean and the aroma of wine intertwine together, like the sea breeze gently brushing the tip of your tongue.
The fish in the fish head and tofu pot is fried and then put into the pot to boil out the milky white soup.
Add the tender tofu and it's so delicious that you'll jump with joy.
Even the fried kale is crispy, sweet and very refreshing.
Lord Xiao was eating the food in his bowl when his eyes inadvertently glanced at Lord Huang who was eating happily, and he felt complicated for a moment.
How come Lord Shen, who is so talented, was snatched away by the Sino-Agricultural Ministry?
There aren't many things to worry about in Sinong Temple, so it's indeed quite relaxing.
But, leisure is leisure.
What future can there be in Sinong Temple?
The highest position you can get is Minister of Agriculture.
But even if he became the Minister of Agriculture, he would only be in charge of trivial matters such as growing vegetables and raising pigs.
It's such a waste of Mr. Shen's talent.
Obviously, the Ministry of Industry is more suitable for Miss Shen, but she is dazzled by the fruits, vegetables and meats in Sinong Temple! !
The more Lord Xiao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he ate much faster.
Master Huang:! ! !
The Ministry of Industry is really not a place for people to stay. Even eating is so complicated! !
