Yuan Qiu was worried all night, but was relieved to see that Yang Cui and Cen Xiao had made up the next day.
Privately, she warned her good-for-nothing uncle again: "Don't you dare make my godmother angry again! Otherwise, we'll kick you out!"
Cen Xiao kicked him in the butt: "You disrespectful brat! Get up and practice horse stance. You're not allowed to rest for at least half an hour!"
Yuan Qiu rubbed his little bottom and went to the practice room unhappily.
Yang Cui started preparing for the whole pig feast at noon early in the morning, because there were no fresh chili peppers available this season, so many dishes couldn't be made.
However, dishes such as braised meat, braised pork ribs, braised pork belly, and pig's head meat are essential.
In the morning, Li Mama prepared the pig's trotters and pig's ears according to Yang Cui's instructions. Preparing these four pig's trotters was no easy task.
Around 1:45 AM, Dao Ba returned in a carriage with An Xiaojiang and An Xiaohe.
Working in the city, they saw and interacted with many different people, which caused a dramatic change in the brothers' demeanor. In addition, their good facial features made them particularly pleasing to the eye.
No wonder so many people want to marry into their families.
Yang Cui led the two of them, along with Granny Zhuang, into the kitchen.
Wild boars have to forage for themselves, so they don't have as much fat as domestic pigs. However, Yang Cui still managed to render a jar of oil, and the cracklings made up two large bowls of oil.
The aroma is very strong.
Yang Cui told them that lard makes vegetables taste better when stir-fried, and the cracklings can be used to stir-fry chili peppers or green vegetables, which are very fragrant!
The An brothers believed Yang Cui's words without a doubt.
Braised pork belly, braised pork belly with dried green beans, braised pig's trotters, braised pork ribs, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork intestines with pickled cabbage, pickled cabbage and pig's stomach, pig's ears with dried tofu, bone and radish soup...
After spending several hours in the kitchen, it's finally done!
The dishes were all heavy meat dishes, and they were too greasy after a while. Yang Cui instructed the kitchen to make two delicious vegetable dishes, which were stir-fried with lard, so that they could also try the vegetarian dishes made with lard.
The aroma wafted from afar, making one's mouth water.
The guests had arrived long ago and were sitting in the living room talking with Cen Xiao.
Of course, under someone's instructions, Dao Ba deliberately didn't inform the manager, which is why the manager was absent on such an important day...
Before they started eating, Yang Cui asked An Xiaojiang to introduce each dish to everyone. However, she told him not to mention the pig intestines and pig stomach yet, so as not to spoil their appetite. She suggested they wait until they had finished eating before introducing them.
"It's so delicious!"
"It's sour and spicy, perfect with rice!"
"These ribs are very flavorful."
"This sweet and sour pork ribs is delicious, and the braised pork is delicious too. What am I going to do? I feel like I could eat ten bowls of rice!"
"This radish soup is also delicious."
"Cabbage stir-fried with lard really tastes different, it's delicious!"
"Brother, give me another bite of the pig's trotter!"
"Get lost! Who's your brother?"
...
Unsurprisingly, no one complained, and everyone finished every last drop of food from their bowls.
After finishing their meal, everyone patted their bellies, feeling incredibly full.
"Mrs. Cen, your cooking is absolutely amazing!" Ren Donghui gave a thumbs up. He, who usually doesn't care much for food, was stuffed today.
Su Murong: "I didn't believe you when you said pork was delicious before, but today I've truly learned something new."
An Xiaohu rubbed her round belly and said, "Sis, I feel like my stomach is going to explode!"
An Dafu muttered under his breath, "You idiot, who told you to eat so much?"
"Who made my sister such a good cook?" An Xiaohu said. "Dad, let's raise pigs next year too, a few more, otherwise we won't have enough to eat." After saying that, An Xiaohu licked her lips, recalling the delicious food she had just eaten.
"Yes, we must feed them!" Wen said firmly, "It's just that piglets are hard to find."
"Leave this to me, I'll figure something out," Su Murong said. "But let's make it clear first, it can only be supplied to our Stargazing Tower."
"That's a must." The Wen family was overjoyed that this would solve both the piglet problem and the sales issue; how could they possibly refuse?
Yang Cui said, "Once Guanxinglou introduces pork dishes, other restaurants will follow suit. In the future, there will be more people raising pigs and more people eating pork, which will increase market demand. If we want to achieve a certain scale, we need to have our own sows and breeding pigs. That way, we can make a lot of money even if we sell piglets in the future."
In Yang Cui's view, pork will inevitably become as common as chicken, duck and fish in the future. When more people eat it, more people will raise pigs, and selling piglets can become a way to make money.
Su Murong was a businessman, and he understood immediately after Yang Cui mentioned it. He said, "I'll provide the money and manpower, and you can offer some suggestions. I'll give you 20%."
"Sure!"
"When can you slaughter those dozens of pigs behind you? How about we take one to the restaurant tomorrow?"
"Let's do it after the New Year. We'll pick a date then and have a big-scale whole pig feast at a restaurant."
Shopkeeper Song: "Then your dozens of pigs probably won't be enough to sell."
“I’ve already sent people to search for piglets everywhere. We’ll gradually expand the supply, but we can’t guarantee a continuous supply right now,” Yang Cui said. “The village chief of Zhou’an Village also raises two pigs. You can place your order first, so that no one else can snatch them up later.”
At that time, Zhou Daqing also raised two of them.
"Shunzi, quickly take five taels of silver to Zhou'an Village and reserve those two pigs." Su Murong immediately instructed his attendant to go to the Zhou family to reserve the pigs.
Five taels of silver!!
Upon hearing this number, An Dafu and Wen felt immense regret. Back then, when Yang Cui asked them to raise pigs, they were unwilling and didn't think it was a good idea. Otherwise, they could have earned several taels of silver by now. Just thinking about it made them regret it.
"What are these two dishes? They're especially good with rice," Mo Zijun asked.
"Spicy and sour pork intestines and spicy and sour pork stomach."
"Ugh~~" Upon hearing this, Su Murong and Ren Donghui couldn't help but vomit.
The expressions on the other people's faces were also very complicated: "The large intestine and pig's stomach are full of... you know..."
"They were all washed very clean, not dirty at all. I ate them anyway! If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't know what they were, right? Honestly, how did they taste?"
Su Murong's face turned extremely ugly: "But that's a place that's just for show, no matter how delicious it is, no one will order this dish."
"That's not necessarily true."
In modern times, there are countless people who enjoy eating these two dishes.
"The restaurant doesn't have to sell pig intestines and pig stomach," Manager Song said.
Yang Cui: "We'll talk about that next year. I invited you here today so you could have a taste. Isn't Young Master Murong also preparing to return to the capital? Consider this meal a farewell dinner for you."
"I will be returning to the capital in three days. The artisans at the silver shop have arrived, so you will have to put in extra effort."
"Young Master Su, please rest assured, I will do my utmost." This is Mo Zijun's first battle after leaving the Mo family, and countless people in the city are watching! He must achieve results!
We won't let the Mo family look down on us! We won't let the Xu family of Gaoxin County look down on us!
