Chapter 38
The salted duck is exactly the same as the one made outside. Under the light yellow skin are pieces of tender duck meat, and the sauce with coriander, scallions and sesame oil on the side also looks tempting.
Not to mention the vegetarian dishes, which are no different from those in top restaurants outside.
All in all, every dish here is cooked very well!
Those who had already tasted Suguoer's braised pork did not forget to look towards the kitchen while drinking.
They were looking forward to what kind of food the cook here would bring them.
Of course, when they heard that the chef here was a female cook, they were stunned for a moment, because there were not many famous female cooks in the prosperous city of Bianjing. In their world, the food cooked by female cooks might not be delicious, because they were busy with housework all day long and had no time to study cooking skills.
Finally, after eating the braised meat made by this cook.
Speechless and filled with admiration, they surrendered to the young lady's craftsmanship!
Salty, spicy and fresh, so delicious!
"It seems this restaurant hasn't been open for long, has it?" Lu Pingan raised his tea bowl and drank a bowl of wine in front of everyone. He had never seen this restaurant open when he was patrolling outside, so he thought it must have just opened.
Chong Biao, who was standing opposite, hissed at the spicy taste of the liquor and then said, "It's only been open for two days. My eldest daughter came here because she smelled the aroma. She brought back some braised pork and potstickers that day. They were delicious!"
"A bunch of brothers were scrambling to eat, but no one got a bite!"
"I don't know how she braised it. It smells good, but how come it tastes good too? It's really puzzling," said Chong Biao.
Lu Pingan picked up another piece of braised meat and put it into his mouth. After thinking for a while, he was sure: "There must be spices in this braised meat. I smell the scent of cloves."
Chong Biao was shocked by what he heard. "Wow? This braised pork restaurant is willing to use such expensive spices? What a luxurious way to eat it!" He was amazed after hearing this. Then he hurriedly picked up two more chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.
The reason is that this spice is very expensive. It is notoriously expensive in Bianjing City! Even a three-year-old child knows it!
Su Guoer arrived at this time and said, "This gentleman has good taste. He actually tasted the spices in my braised meat?"
She was delighted. Someone could actually tell that she had added spices to her braised meat. This person truly had a keen palate! She felt like she had found a kindred spirit and was overjoyed.
Lu Pingan looked up when he heard the voice and saw a tall and beautiful young lady wearing ill-fitting coarse cloth clothes. She walked towards him with a tray and a smile on her face.
I was surprised. Perhaps I didn't expect the young lady in this restaurant to be so young? She looked like she was in her prime, but she had such good cooking skills.
Lu Ping'an also smiled warmly: "It's nothing strange. I heard that the Hu Kingdom is good at eating mutton. Whenever they stew mutton, they always add spices to it. This removes the mutton's mutton smell and enhances the flavor. So I guessed that there must be spices in this braised meat. I didn't expect that I was right by accident."
"But the young lady is indeed a skilled cook. She can use spices to make such delicious braised meat. It's really amazing."
Su Guoer: "Your Excellency, you are too kind. This braised pork recipe is indeed based on the way the Hu Kingdom eats mutton. In addition, a few herbs are added to remove the fishy smell to create such a flavor. However, Your Excellency is really well-read and knowledgeable. You even know that the Hu Kingdom uses spices in their mutton. Could it be that you have been to the Hu Kingdom before?"
Lu Pingan: "I haven't been there, but I heard about it from a friend, so I just found out about it."
Su Guoer: "Well, if you like it, please have a plate brought over shortly. Please enjoy it."
Lu Ping'an was about to agree when Chong Biao said, "Hehehe, thank you very much, young lady. Cut more for us. The brothers will love to eat your braised meat!"
Su Guoer smiled and agreed, then placed the dishes on the tray in front of them one by one. She began to introduce the dishes in front of everyone: "This is a northern dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, served with cornmeal pancakes. This is Bianjing's famous salted duck, and..."
After introducing everyone one by one, Su Guoer said, "Please enjoy your meal," and then said goodbye and left, so as not to delay them from reminiscing about the past.
Chong Biao watched Su Guoer's departing back and said, "Wow, this girl is the one who's so knowledgeable... so well-informed, right? At such a young age, she not only knows Hu Guocai but can even cook northern Chinese cuisine. I've only ever eaten this dish in a small restaurant in the north when I was escorting goods. I didn't expect she could actually make it. No, I have to try it!"
After saying that, he picked up a piece of chicken and took a bite. After taking a bite, he put down his chopsticks and said meaningfully: "This little lady is really not bad. The taste is exactly the same as that made in the northern restaurant..."
"Brother Biao, why do you keep saying that? Why don't you tell us if it tastes good? We don't know what northern food tastes like."
Chong Biao: "If you want to eat it, why don't you try it yourself? Here, here, here, eat it yourself." After saying that, he pushed the dish to his subordinate to ensure that he could get it.
The subordinate's name was Wang Ye. After taking a bite, he kept nodding his head: "Mmm! Mmm! It's delicious, so delicious!"
"This dish is really great to go with wine!" After saying that, he drank a bowl of wine!
Then he pinched the cornmeal pancake beside him, took a bite of the pancake, ate a piece of chicken and mushroom, and the man's eyes lit up again!
"Mmm! This dish goes really well with rice! It's even better with pancakes! Wow, I love this chicken stewed with mushrooms! This is what the gods eat, right? It's even tastier than Huzi's Dongpo Pork on the Bund!"
"Is it really that delicious?" The others didn't believe it and took a piece to try.
After one bite, everyone surrendered.
And they felt that from today on, this chicken stewed with mushrooms would probably become the most delicious dish in their minds! They were not exaggerating, it was really that this taste was hard to replicate!
The aroma of chicken and the soft and slippery texture of mushrooms are paired together, and then coated with a lot of sauce...
It’s amazing! Whether you eat it plain or with cornmeal pancakes, the taste is unbeatable!
Everyone was eating happily, and Lu Pingan also joined in, drinking and chatting with Chong Biao. The two were brothers from the same school, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but the first thing they said was:
This young lady’s cooking skills are really good. The name of Su Ji Fresh Food Restaurant is very appropriate. I will come to this restaurant again in the future!
Anyway, the topic always revolved around this rather large and delicious restaurant. We agreed to come back someday.
However, when he was enjoying his meal, Lu Ping'an suddenly thought of something. Some time ago, his aunt who worked as a cook in the Duke's Mansion said she wanted to introduce a girl to him.
It was said that she was also a beautiful lady, originally a maid in the Duke's Mansion, and after leaving, she wanted to open a restaurant in Bianjing City. Could they be Su Guoer? He fell into deep thought for a moment.
