On the morning of September 3, all the shops that opened early in the alleys smelled the delicious aroma of marinade.
As for how delicious it is, it’s just delicious.
It's the kind of deliciousness that makes you know the braised dishes in the braising pot are delicious as soon as you smell them. It's the kind of deliciousness that is engraved in your DNA, and you want to buy it decisively to eat it right now.
Now the question is, which braised food store is coming from for this delicious, never-before-smelled aroma?
There are quite a few braised food shops in the alley, a total of 7, of which 4 are lined up for some reason. Except for Boss Wang's famous braised food shop, the other 6 have their own characteristics.
The best-selling restaurant is naturally Chen's Braised Food, which specializes in braised river food and seafood. Their braised mantis shrimp, braised crayfish, braised oysters, braised prawns and braised snails are all top-notch, spicy and fresh. Even the extra spicy version is so spicy that Jiang Wanwan's nose is snotty and tears are in her mouth, but she can't stop eating it.
Chen Ji's braised food has basically no disadvantages except for the high price and long queues.
The second is Jingwu Duck Neck, which is next to Chen Ji Luwei. The sales of duck neck and duck head are very good, and the price is relatively cheaper than that of the next door. Many people who eat noodles and stir-fried dishes nearby will buy a duck neck or two duck heads to go with it.
Although the remaining four are not as prominent as the first two, they also have their own characteristics. Some have good dried bean sauce, some have good pork tripe, and some have good braised beef. The common feature is that the prices are relatively cheap and affordable. They have all been opened in the alleys for many years.
Apart from Boss Wang, who is rich and willful, and has managed to keep a restaurant open for several years in this famous food alley, where the food hygiene is not very good but the food is of good quality and low price, the cooking skills of the restaurant owners are all good.
It is because I am familiar with the specialties of the seven braised food restaurants in the alley that I was surprised by the store that opened early.
Who is it?
Whose boss was secretly honing his cooking skills and quietly amazed everyone!
Some bosses who had nothing to do but really wanted to eat started looking for it.
The owners of the already opened braised food shops were also confused. No new shops had opened in this alley recently, so how come such an awesome competitor suddenly appeared?
Finally, a group of idle bosses who were looking for the source of the smell arrived at the door of the Xinghe Script Society.
At this time, Jiang Qi was still asleep and Old John had not started his live broadcast yet.
"Do you think... this smell really comes from Boss Jiang's shop?" The idle lottery shop owner looked confused.
"It seems... it is indeed..."
Although everyone doesn't believe it subjectively, their noses won't deceive them.
It smells so good. It smells so good.
At one time, several bosses had a wonderful idea in their minds:
Boss Jiang is truly worthy of his name, he is so versatile and even stews the dishes so well.
"Ah, I remember now!" Boss Wang slapped his thigh, "It must have been Boss Jiang who did it. I ran into Boss Jiang at the door when I closed the shop last night. He was carrying a lot of bags and he smelled like marinade."
"He even told me modestly that he had not been successful in making stewed food at home. Boss Jiang is really too modest."
"But why is Boss Jiang working in a script-killing store?" someone felt curious.
"What's so strange about this? Boss Jiang's script-killing shop also sells vegetable noodles! I heard that they are quite expensive. Many people come to eat there every day. They eat at Sister Hu's house next door."
"I've heard about that, too. I heard people say that Boss Jiang's store also sells amulets, which seem to be quite effective. I've been thinking about whether I should buy one these days."
"It's a waste for Boss Jiang to open a script-killing shop with his skills. He should just open a braised food shop. I come here every day to buy food and eat it as a side dish."
"Yes, yes, why doesn't Boss Jiang open a braised food store?" Boss Wang agreed enthusiastically, completely unaware that if Jiang Qi opened a braised food store, he would be his competitor.
Oh yeah, he’s rich but his cooking skills are terrible, but he doesn’t care.
A group of people were standing at the entrance of the Xinghe Script-Killing Game, smelling the scent and swallowing their saliva.
When the couple from the noodle shop next door came to open their shop, they were stunned to see a group of familiar faces gathered in front of the Xinghe District store.
"Why are you all gathered here? Aren't you going to do your own business?" Sister Hu said with a smile, "By the way, my husband Qian and I smelled the smell of braised food as soon as we entered the alley today. The closer I got, the stronger the smell became. Whose braised food is so good today?"
Everyone pointed at the Galaxy Script Society.
Ms. Hu:?
Two minutes later, Sister Hu moved the chairs out of the store and everyone sat at the door to smell it.
Ten minutes later, a passerby who was idle and did not have to go to work appeared at the door and came to have breakfast.
An hour later, all the chairs in Sister Hu's shop were moved out.
The scene was once very spectacular.
At 7:30, Jiang Qi, who got up early and came to the store according to the 8-hour production schedule, was stunned by the amazing sight in front of the store.
Oh my god, what’s going on?
Could it be that a thief was stealing something in the middle of the night and smelled the braised food, so he wanted to come into the shop and steal some, but was scared to death by Lili?
It’s over. Is he going to be on Today’s Statement?
Jiang Qi was shocked and his face turned pale, but he walked forward bravely.
"Um...did something happen?" Jiang Qi asked tentatively.
"We'll wait for Boss Jiang here." Boss Wang said without turning his head.
Jiang Qi’s face turned even paler.
Just because Boss Wang didn’t look back doesn’t mean that others didn’t look back.
Seeing Jiang Qi finally coming, everyone stood up excitedly: "Hey, Boss Jiang, you're finally here."
"What happened?" Jiang Qi pretended to be calm.
"Boss Jiang!" everyone said in unison, "We are here to queue up to buy braised dishes!"
Jiang Qi: ???
.
Five minutes later, Jiang Qi was finally sure that he would not be on Today's Talk, so he made the excuse that he forgot to buy a colander (he really forgot), and went to the big supermarket outside the alley to buy one.
Jiang Qi didn't mean to not open the door for everyone, he just didn't dare to.
There is nothing wrong with soaking braised dishes in marinade. Each family has its own recipe and method.
Some foods do not taste good if they are soaked for too long, while others taste better the longer they are soaked.
There is nothing wrong with braised food in a stone pot, but if the stone pot starts bubbling on its own, that would be a problem.
Jiang Qi opened WeChat and contacted Xiaoka urgently.
Jiang Qi: [Necromancer's Stone Pot] Can you stop it from bubbling?
Jiang Qi: I use it to make braised dishes. Now a group of people are surrounding me and asking to buy it. I don’t dare let anyone see the bubbling in the stone pot. Is there any emergency method to deal with it?
Card Game Studio-Customer Service Xiaoka: Dear, the [Necromancer's Stone Pot] will not bubble after the marinating is completed. Dear, you can control the time by yourself.
Jiang Qi felt relieved after hearing what Xiao Ka said.
Jiang Qi continued to ask.
Jiang Qi: How often should the marinade in this stone pot be changed? The secret recipe doesn’t mention it.
Card Game Studio-Customer Service Xiaoka: Honey, there’s no need to change it. It won’t kill you.
Jiang Qi: ...
Forget it, just replace it regularly.
After getting the exact news, Jiang Qi felt relieved and quickly bought the largest colander he could find from the supermarket, ran back to the store, and opened the door under the expectant gazes of everyone.
The big pot in the center of the hall on the first floor attracted everyone's attention.
The large, rustic, dark stone pot, half a person's height, made everyone very satisfied.
Such a big pot should be able to hold a lot of braised dishes!
Great, you can buy as much as you want!
"Well... I have to explain to everyone first. This pot of braised food is a new one I tried. All the braised food is the offal. There is no braised beef, dried bean paste, duck neck, etc. And I haven't tasted it beforehand, so..." Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Jiang Qi uttered the last few words, "How about I take out a little bit of each dish first and cut it for everyone to taste?"
"I'll go get a knife from the store!" Sister Hong rushed back to the store.
"Let me help get the plates." A few more people rushed into the noodle shop next door.
A minute later, everyone had a plate in their hands. Jiang Qi felt like a butcher in a self-service Brazilian barbecue restaurant, walking around with a skewer of meat and asking customers if they wanted any and how many slices they wanted. Everyone held a plate and waited for him to scoop and cut the meat.
Jiang Qi put the colander into the pot and began to open the blind box in front of everyone.
The first one is the big item, beef heart.
After fishing it out, Jiang Qi used his not-so-excellent knife skills to cut a slice for everyone. Everyone couldn't wait to start eating, and Jiang Qi also tasted it himself.
Wow, it’s delicious!
Jiang Qi did not do any processing to the beef heart before throwing it into the pot. He did not remove the fat on the surface, did not blanch it in advance, and did not cut it into pieces. Theoretically, this huge beef heart could not possibly be delicious.
But the fact is, it is visibly beautiful when it is taken out.
Also very delicious.
The beef heart is thoroughly soaked in the marinade, which is slightly spicy, chewy and rich in flavor. Perhaps because the necromancer has a special liking for hearts, his secret marinade recipe is very compatible with the hearts of all animals, and they are simply a perfect match.
"Hmm." Someone made a satisfied sound, his eyes glowing as he looked at the remaining ox heart.
"Boss Jiang, I have the remaining beef heart..."
"Who wants to try the pig intestines?" Jiang Qi asked, interrupting the person who wanted to make the whole cow heart.
"I!"
"I!"
“Me, me, me!”
Meat-cutting chef Jiang Qi started to divide the pig intestines.
Everyone started to get crazy about pig intestines again.
There was plenty of ingredients in the stone pot. Every time Jiang Qi took out a new item for everyone to try, there would be one more braised dish on everyone's shopping list.
Ten minutes later, the taste was finished.
Jiang Qi asked everyone what they wanted to buy, and he went to Boss Wang's shop to borrow a scale.
Everyone said that only children would make multiple-choice decisions, and they would want them all if they had money.
Then Boss Wang enthusiastically went to the store to get a scale for Jiang Qi, and also brought the price list for Jiang Qi, because Jiang Qi really didn't know how much the braised offal should cost per pound.
Looking at the cheap price list, everyone said that the price list of Boss Wang’s store was not worthy of Jiang Qi’s craftsmanship.
Add money, you must add money!
After a chaotic haggling and buying, everyone returned home with bags full of goods. Boss Wang, contentedly, held the scale and the family bucket he had just bought (half a pound of each type) and went back to the store to eat the braised dishes.
What was left for Jiang Qi was less than half a pot of braised offal and a total amount of money that left him stunned.
Wow, selling braised dishes is really profitable!
Although he didn't cook the dish, he was the one who collected the money!
This big pot can braise hundreds of kilograms of food at a time. If he opens a braised food shop, he will become rich immediately.
This 60,000 yuan laptop is really worth the money!
Special cards are scary.
Jiang Qi took a bite of the chicken heart and gave the stone pot a thumbs up.
Delicious! Really delicious!
delicious!
unbelievable!
After eating three chicken hearts, two duck intestines, three slices of beef hearts, five mouthfuls of tripe and a piece of pork liver in one breath, Jiang Qi started looking for Lili.
Lili was sitting obediently behind the potted plant, shielding herself well.
"Lili, the boss is out buying a wooden lid. Can you continue to watch the pot?" Jiang Qi said.
Lili didn't respond.
Jiang Qi:?
Jiang Qi walked up to Lili and poked her.
Lili didn't react either.
Changed skin?
"Lili? If you are on top, come down!" Jiang Qi said loudly.
Soon, Lili, with new black hair, came down the stairs cautiously, skipping.
She just changed to a white wedding dress skin last night, and changed to black today. Lili's taste changes so quickly.
Lili jumped to the front desk guiltily.
"Banban." Lili said in a low voice.
Jiang Qi finally realized that Lili's sudden skin change was probably because she did something bad last night.
"What did you do wrong last night?" Jiang Qi asked.
"Banban, it's dirty." Lili pointed at the white skin.
Jiang Qi then picked up the doll in the white skirt and found that it was the skirt and the hands that were dirty.
My hands turned the same dark brown color as the marinade, with a hint of marinade aroma.
Very good. Jiang Qi reminded Lili last night not to let bugs fly into the marinade pot, and she listened.
She didn't let the bug fly in, but reached her hand in and soaked herself.
The naughty kid never changes his bad habits!
Lili began to confess her crime: "Banban, last night the pot was playing, Lili stretched it, it was dirty, and I couldn't get it off."
Jiang Qi: ...
In order to prove that the problem was with the pot and not her own, Lili took out a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator, controlled the orange juice to open itself, and poured it on herself.
Under Lili's control, the oranges didn't reach her at all and poured directly onto the ground.
Good, the ground is dirty again.
"Banban, the stone pot is bad. It made Lili dirty!" Lili took advantage of the fact that the stone pot could not speak and complained first, saying that the stone pot was fully responsible for her dirty skin.
It is not surprising that the stone pot, a product of magic, could make Lili dirty.
Jiang Qi looked at the naughty kid in front of him.
"Lili, I remember you haven't taken online classes for a while."
Lili: Σ(°△°|||)︴
Lili spoke normally on the spot: "Banban, Lili has no problem speaking, Lili's English grammar is fine, and Lili can even recite poems!"
"Geese, geese, geese, singing with their necks bent toward the sky. Their white feathers float on the green water, and their red feet paddling the clear waves." Lili recited a poem on the spot.
Jiang Qi nodded: "You have learned very well, but learning never stops. Your sister Erya is still studying hard. Your boss also received nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school, four years of college, and was lucky enough to study for three more years as a graduate student."
"How long have you been learning this? It's not enough."
"Start taking online classes today."
"Wow! Banban is so bad!" Lili sat down on the front desk and burst into tears.
