Because fish meat has short fibers, it will fall apart if you are not careful when cooking it.
So there is a little trick when making this dish, which is to put the fish skin facing down when cutting the fish, and cut with the knife at an angle, preferably close to the fish bones. This way you can not only ensure the integrity of the fish meat, but also make it more convenient to cut.
There is actually another reason why Chen Jun chose this dish to serve at his stall.
That is, many fish can be cooked in one pot. The prepared crucian carp and tofu can be kept warm on the fire, and a portion can be served when someone orders it.
Chen Jun started working right away. He cooked crucian carp and tofu in two pots at the same time. When the fish and tofu were almost cooked, he put them all in one pot and simmered them over low heat.
Soon, the neighbors living nearby arrived at Chen Jun’s stir-fry stall first.
"Hey, boss, have you changed the menu again? There's fish today. I love fish the most!"
"Hey, Master Liu, you are here. I can see you every time I come here."
The old man also laughed a few times and said with some pride: "That's right, I have to come here every day to take a spot, otherwise the boss's stall will be occupied by others."
"Hey, whoever dares to take the position of the small boss, we will overturn his stall!" the man named Lao Li shouted loudly.
Chen Jun heard this and clasped his fists, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Not really, not really. Do you want to eat here, or order food to go back?"
Most of those who come here live nearby, and they usually bring their own bowls and plates to take home and eat with their families.
After all, there is limited space here at Chen Jun's place, and they are not too happy about eating in a crowded place.
"Order food, order food. Give me a portion of braised meat first. I didn't have enough yesterday. Give me another portion of twice-cooked pork."
"Hey, hey, hey, there's stir-fried pig intestines. This is my favorite. Boss, put the money here. I want to take one back."
"Little boss, I still want a four-piece set. I'll leave the money here."
"Tsk, boss, what's wrong with you today? The stewed meat is not even ready yet. I didn't even eat breakfast for this bite of meat. You have to give me an extra piece of meat later."
Just as the neighbors were ordering food and joking with Chen Jun, a lady's bicycle stopped steadily in front of the stall.
Then, a pleasant voice was heard.
"Hey, Chen Jun, your stall is doing good business!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their heads almost at the same time and found a woman wearing sunglasses, riding a ladies' bicycle, and wearing high-end woolen clothes walking towards the stall.
Chen Jun was stunned at first, but after he reacted, he smiled and greeted him.
"I didn't expect you to come."
This Chen Xueru is really a wealthy woman. I met her three times in total, and she was wearing different clothes each time.
Not to mention anything else, just those three woolen coats are probably worth a lot of money.
"You said you'd treat me to a meal, so I have to come!"
As she spoke, Chen Xueru twisted her waist and found an empty table to sit down.
This stunned all the men present, young and old.
What a pretty girl, she dresses so fashionably!
"Hey, Xueru, do you know the young boss?"
Just as Chen Xueru was looking at Chen Jun's stall, a familiar voice suddenly came to her ears.
I turned around and saw two familiar faces at the next table.
"Hiss, Master Liu, Aunt Rong!" Chen Xueru was a little surprised.
"No, why are you two here to eat?"
As Chen Xueru said this, she stood up and walked towards Master Liu's table.
"We both come here to eat every day, but why did you come here from Zhengyangmen?" Grandpa Liu asked with a smile.
Chen Xueru pointed at Chen Jun who had already started cooking and said, "I encountered a robber a while ago, and it was he who helped me stop the robber."
"Yesterday, the brother and sister went out shopping and happened to come to my store. We had a great chat and he said he wanted to treat me to a meal."
"So here I am."
Did you have a good chat?
Grandpa Liu and the little old lady looked at each other, and saw a hint of inexplicable meaning in each other's eyes.
"Haha, then you two are quite destined to meet each other!" Grandpa Liu stroked his mustache and said with some emotion.
Chen Xueru didn't think much about it and nodded in approval.
After talking about this, Chen Xueru couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, have you lost money in business recently? Why don't you go to Dongxinglou for dinner?"
"Pfft...cough cough cough~"
As soon as Mr. Liu took a sip of tea, he was choked by Chen Xueru.
"Girl, how can you talk like that? My business is doing well."
"Then why do you..." Chen Xueru was a little confused.
With Mr. Liu's status and wealth, she shouldn't come to such a small stall to eat. If her father's old friends knew about this, they would definitely be shocked.
"Young boss, your cooking skills are pretty good, and it suits my taste." After saying that, Master Liu seemed to have thought of something, and quickly said to Chen Xueru, "Order what you want to eat, and don't steal my food later."
"Hey, what are you saying, old man? I didn't even spend any money to eat here today, so why would I steal your food?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yao brought up the twice-cooked pork and rice.
"Old man, your food and meal."
After saying that, Lin Yao looked at the beautiful elder sister Chen Xueru again: "Sister Chen, what do you want to eat?"
But Chen Xueru in front of him seemed not to hear anything, her eyes fixed on the plate of twice-cooked pork.
The distance from Zhengyangmen to East Street is not very far, but it is not close either.
After riding all the way here and it was lunchtime, Chen Xueru was already hungry.
At this time, smelling such an enticing aroma, he was stunned for a few seconds and then picked up the chopsticks to pick up several slices of twice-cooked pork.
