After purchasing the beef, Pan Tiezhu immediately took it to his dormitory, just as Yu Hui had finished selling all his boxed lunches.
"Brother Yu Hui, why are you suddenly buying beef? Are you going to release a new type of lunchbox?"
Pan Tiezhu stared wide-eyed at Yu Hui with a look of curiosity.
Even if a boxed lunch is delicious, you'll get tired of eating the same thing every day.
These days, Pan Tiezhu also wants to try something different.
"secret!"
Yu Hui simply uttered two words.
"Ouch~"
"My dear brother, please stop keeping me in suspense."
Seeing Pan Tiezhu pouting and clinging to his arm in a coquettish manner, Yu Hui felt like he was going to throw up the food he ate yesterday.
A tough guy acting cute is terrifying!
"Alright, don't touch me. You'll know once I finish making it tomorrow."
"Alright." Pan Tiezhu nodded helplessly.
......
The next day.
As dawn broke, the sun appeared...
Pan Tiezhu got up very early this time specifically to see Yu Hui's new products.
He thought about it all night yesterday.
"Why are you up so early today?"
Yu Hui was brushing his teeth when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw the big, chubby boy.
"There were too many mosquitoes last night, and I couldn't sleep at all. Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I figured I might as well come over earlier," Pan Tiezhu said.
"I think you're just craving the new beef you bought!"
Yu Hui rolled her eyes at Pan Tiezhu, too lazy to expose his lie.
"You guessed it all. You truly are my elder brother."
Pan Tiezhu scratched his head and grinned foolishly.
The two chatted for a few minutes, then got down to business.
Pan Tiezhu took out the ingredients and washed and chopped them at the sink.
Meanwhile, Yu Hui began preparing to make braised beef.
Yesterday, he went to the Yunjian convenience store to buy a 45cm diameter braising pot, which can braise about 50 jin (25 catties) of beef in one pot.
Once all the ingredients were prepared, he began the actual operation.
This secret recipe for spicy braised dishes involves six steps.
Preparation of chili oil, oil rendering, stock, coloring ingredients, dried chilies, and final product.
These six steps are all essential, and each step is not simple.
If you do something wrong in any step, it could affect the taste of the whole pot of braising liquid.
Therefore, Yu Hui was very careful with every step she took.
After finishing these tasks, he put the braised beef in, simmered it over low heat for half an hour, and then let it soak for another half hour before it was ready to serve.
During this break, Yu Hui also prepared the braised chicken and the double-portion rice.
Now it's time to braise the beef.
He lifted the lid of the brine bucket, and the aroma wafted out.
Wow~~~ It smells so good!
Pan Tiezhu swallowed hard, staring intently at the pot of braised beef, his mouth practically watering.
"Stay away, don't drool in there."
Yu Hui shielded the brine bucket with his hand, afraid that a clump of rat droppings would ruin the whole pot of porridge.
"My dear brother, may I try some?"
Pan Tiezhu approached Yu Hui, looking at him expectantly, though his gaze was anything but innocent.
"You...you shouldn't be staring at me like that." Yu Hui frowned and picked up a piece of braised beef with his chopsticks.
With a series of "thump-thump-thump" sounds, a piece of braised beef was sliced into evenly sized pieces.
"Try it."
Yu Hui handed the chopsticks to Pan Tiezhu and quickly mixed a chili sauce.
"If you want it spicier, you can dip it in chili sauce, it's delicious!"
Pan Tiezhu grunted in agreement, picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in chili sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.
A rich, savory aroma filled his mouth.
I specifically chose beef shank for this braised beef.
The meat contains tendons, and the tendons contain meat; the muscles and tendons intertwine and are clearly layered.
The meat is tender and delicate, melting in your mouth.
(╯▽╰) It smells so good~~~
Pan Tiezhu shook his head and swayed, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Is it good?" Yu Hui asked.
"Delicious!" Pan Tiezhu nodded emphatically. "Brother Yu Hui, where did you learn all this? Not only are your cooking dishes delicious, but even your braised dishes are so tasty."
"I feel that your braised food tastes better than many physical stores."
Yu Hui smiled.
"Eat more if you like it, beef won't make you fat anyway."
"good!"
After the braised beef and fast food were ready, Yu Hui cooked some greens and then cut some salted duck eggs in half.
We're planning to launch a braised beef set meal, which will be paired with braised beef.
Customers who eat double-portion rice and braised chicken every day may also want to try something different.
This braised beef set meal perfectly met their needs.
After finishing all the preparations, Yu Hui set up his stall on his tricycle...
at the same time.
Wang Ying, Mengmeng, and Qiqi are on the bus heading to Chuanshan Town.
Sitting by the window, Mengmeng looked at the scenery along the way and said:
"Xiaoying, I've heard of Hengshan, Wugongshan, Taishan, Huashan, Huangshan... but I've never heard of this one. What's the scenery like?"
In the past few days, they have been discussing boxed lunches and the afterglow of sunset, and have not mentioned Chuanshan at all.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ying replied, "It's alright, the scenery is quite beautiful, and the sunset is lovely too."
Qiqi: That's great! It'll be perfect for us to take lots of pictures. We've been roommates for over two years, and we haven't had a proper chance to go out and have some fun yet!
The bus drove past one intersection after another, and the three people on board looked out the window, looking forward to their mountain climbing trip.
