Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1295. Pepper Pork Ribs

When the diced fat is stir-fried in the pan, the whole kitchen is filled with a domineering aroma.

Zhang Yanping held the phone in his hand, staring at the live broadcast room, drooling.

But the incident last time when the braised pig's trotters were eaten up before they were cooked made Seventh Cousin very alert, so he turned his body to the side to block his gaze.

It was Qiao Qiao who said “Oops!”: “The phone is blocking it.”

It was only blocked for a short while before the live broadcast room exploded.

[Let me see, let me see! I drool a lot, so I’ll drool first. I don’t need to worry if I become demented! ]

[I don’t like fatty meat—slurp, slurp, slurp! ]

[Do you use diced fat? We use bacon here! ]

[Ahhh, I'm so greedy that I'm rolling on the bed! Really! You've never eaten a pig-killing feast, so you don't know what it tastes like.]

[Humph, so what if you've eaten it? You've been showing it off since Chinese New Year, and you're still drooling just like us.]

[Pigs! Qiao Qiao! Raise more pigs! I’ll buy them! I really will! You don’t have to pay for the shipping!]

Zhang Yanping was originally quite greedy, but after seeing the barrage, he felt much better.

At this moment, he said proudly: "The pigs are actually being raised. I bought a few more piglets this year, and the sows are about to give birth."

"It's not good to always eat pork, so this year we have cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks."

"Oh, beef and mutton are more expensive, so I don't recommend you buy them. Chicken and duck are also quite expensive. The economy is not good now, so everyone should save some money."

"Diced pork is also delicious, but we don't make it at home, so we use diced fatty pork."

"Don't worry, this isn't greasy at all when mixed with mugwort and rice flour. It's a perfect match!"

In fact, he had never eaten it and could not cook, but after watching Qiao Qiao and the others live broadcasting for so long, he could brag even if he could not cook, and his main focus at the moment was to attract hatred.

"Come on, come on, listen to the sound of the meat being stir-fried in the pan. How is it? Isn't it delicious?"

  Although his arrogant face was not captured in the live broadcast room, his hateful words made everyone forget his terrifying face in an instant!

At this moment, the barrage was filled with gnashing of teeth.

[You are so arrogant! You are so great! You are so great that you have pigs, cows and sheep. If you have the ability, go sell them!]

[I don’t believe the meat you sell is delicious unless you try it.]

[What’s so great about cattle and sheep? We don’t have anything on the prairie. I won’t buy them. I won’t buy them.]

[Would you be laughed at if you bought cattle and sheep from the inland areas on the prairie? I am not afraid of being laughed at, I really live on the prairie, and I will pay the postage on delivery]

[I really don’t like eating fatty meat, but why do these diced meats look so delicious after they change color, tighten and release oil in the pan…]

[Don’t look at it anymore, people who have experienced it have emphasized it 1 times, it is just that delicious, even better than you think! ]

[I'm ready to go. I swear I'll collect enough red flowers to get this mugwort cake! ]

[Let’s go to the supermarket to buy ingredients! ]

……

The aroma of fried diced meat fills the air at the foot of the mountain, and the big pot in the canteen on the mountain is bubbling. The guys who are idle during the day shift gather at the door, starving.

"It smells so good, when can we eat?"

"What are you cooking for lunch? Stewed pork ribs?"

"What day was the braised pork made last week? What day was it made this week?"

"I'd rather be in the fields than be hungry here..."

"Would you like to go to the canteen to buy some spicy noodles? There are too few snacks for sale here."

"No, no, no, the spicy strips are too salty and filling. I can't even eat my meal." Not only were the people picking vegetables on the night shift gathered at the door, but the security guards who were not at work were also strolling around the factory.

Yanran and the other two were doing their routine of observing, cleaning and weeding in the strawberry field. Seeing this group of people leisurely going about their business, they were really afraid that one day they would extend their claws to the strawberries.

After all, these exceptionally strong strawberries are about to bloom again.

But having said that, the meals we eat every day are really good!

Tang Xiaodong walked into the cafeteria with familiarity and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Chef Jiang, what are you cooking today? I don't see it written on the blackboard at the door."

  Master Jiang was watching the two newly assigned kitchen helpers cutting vegetables. Hearing this, he exclaimed:

"I forgot. Xiaodong, please write it down. Today we are having pork ribs with peppers, tomatoes and eggs, cabbage stewed with tofu, and the soup is rice wine and egg drop soup."

Tang Xiaodong cheered up: "Okay!"

He turned around, picked up the chalk and started writing the menu.

In the kitchen, Master Jiang looked at the two new employees cutting vegetables beside him with a smile on his face.

One of them has a leg injury, so they are not getting along well and they get tired easily after training every day.

Another one had a back injury. Actually, he has been recovering for a long time and is fine after exercising. However, Chen Yuan took the long-term situation into consideration and after talking to everyone one by one, he picked out these two people from the list given by Master Jiang and assigned them first.

Don’t say it, subjective initiative is strong!

I don’t know if it was an old habit or something, but Master Jiang chose them because they were particularly careful when cleaning the kitchen.

Moreover, Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao, neat and tidy.

  Now they are pulled over to cut the vegetables, into pieces and strips. Even if they are not so neat at the beginning, the details are grasped meticulously. Which chef would not like such an employee?

Don’t think that everyone can do this. Some people, even if they are very skilled at cooking, can still leave a mess from the stove to the sink after cooking a meal. If you don’t know, you would think the kitchen has exploded!

But some people know how to manage their time. After preparing a large table of dishes, there may only be a pot left to wash.

The logic is different.

Look, after only a few days of training, he has become able to cut vegetables fluently, and the stove is also clean. Through the transparent glass panel, it looks pleasing to the eye and exceptionally clean.

Because of this comfort, Master Jiang was more patient and took more time to give instructions.

  Zhai Xiaofeng lifted the lid of the pot and checked the heat:

"Master Jiang, the ribs should be almost done."

Master Jiang went over to take a look and said: "Okay, take it out and drain the water. I'll fry it later."

  As he spoke, he taught everyone in the kitchen:

"The ribs of this spicy pork ribs can be fried directly after stewing, and it will taste just as good. But I like the taste of fried pork ribs, so I will fry them in oil later."

"Have you cleaned up Chili? If you have, who of you two will do it?"

He said lightly: "This is simple. Just put the chili peppers and garlic cloves into the pan and stir-fry them slowly until they are like tiger skin peppers."

The two helpers looked at each other and rubbed their hands together.

But cooking skills cannot be learned so quickly!

It is especially important to control the heat.

Master Jiang was even-handed: "Don't worry, this is just a try, there will be many opportunities in the future. You guys do it, I have to keep an eye on the heat, and you guys just watch carefully when I do it properly later."

He is still in his prime, and teaching apprentices is more practical than Master Qian and Seventh Cousin:

"If you feel like you can't remember it, that's okay. Just pick something that interests you and try your best to learn it. Even if you only learn one specialty, you can start your own business after you master it."

"It also saves you from biting off more than you can chew."

Update 1. I was groggy again in the afternoon. At 6 o'clock, I listened to everyone's suggestion to go to the rooftop to sunbathe my back. I found out that someone was frying oil buns (sugar cakes, I don't know what they are called in other places). The air vent smelled so good! I squatted there and the more I sunbathed, the more I craved...

Sweating and drooling
