Chapter 68 Garlic Pork Ribs

Regardless of whether Li Yuan did it intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Junshan himself gave in faster than anyone else, and his hands were injured, so the task of making the evening meal naturally fell on Wen Mingtang.

After half the hour, Wen Mingtang took Ah Bing and Tangyuan to see the ingredients for the evening meal.

As soon as he saw the fresh pork ribs, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but praise, "Good!"

"Of course it's good, I picked it myself!" Ji Caimai couldn't help but feel proud in his tone. After all, he had been a buyer for so many years, so how could the ingredients he picked be bad? The unpalatable lunch and evening meals were not due to the poor craftsmanship of Wang, who also had the same surname as Sun!

The meat dish eaten in the evening is pork ribs, and the vegetarian dishes include green peppers, potatoes, and some tofu and cucumbers.

Wen Mingtang looked at the dishes and had an idea in his mind. After moving the rack of ribs onto the chopping board on the counter, he picked a bone-chopping knife and started chopping the ribs.

Wait until cut into small pieces of similar size and washed in water.

There are such steps in preparing ribs. Ji Caimai asked Wen Mingtang: "How do you prepare these ribs?"

Wen Mingtang glanced at half a bag of garlic and said, "I want to make garlic pork ribs."

garlic rib? Never heard of it again. Ji Caimai nodded, carrying a bowl of ice powder that he mixed with his own ingredients, walked to the food table closest to the countertop and sat down: obviously he wanted to see how to make this garlic pork ribs.

After the ribs were washed, Ah Bing and Tangyuan helped flatten and chop the peeled garlic.

Seeing A Bing slapping garlic with the back of the knife neatly and neatly, even Ji Caimai couldn't help but be surprised: "It's... quite skillful!"

Although Master Wen has only been here for a few days, these two half-year-old children have learned a lot.

Well, the bowl of snack called ice powder in his hand was made by two children, A Bing and Tangyuan.

"A Bing is stronger, and she should be fine with more practice in weighing pots, cooking, and knife skills," Wen Mingtang said. "The glutinous rice balls are delicate, so it will be very suitable for her to do the pastries and other detailed work while Bai An is there."

When Ji Caimai heard this, his eyes paused on the two people who were busy, and nodded: "That's true, but you are willing to teach!"

After all, it is the art of eating at hand, and not just anyone is willing to teach it.

"I also learned it from others," Wen Mingtang said with a smile, "Others didn't hide their secrets, so why should I?"

This is the truth. What she learned came from later generations, not from herself.

When the blood in the pork ribs was almost soaked, Ah Bing and the glutinous rice balls were chopped with garlic. Wen Mingtang poured in most of the bowl of minced garlic, leaving only a little bit for other purposes.

Then add sauce, wine, salt, pepper, eggs and a little starch, knead well and marinate.

While the ribs were marinating, I also processed the vegetarian vegetables. Shred potatoes and green peppers to make green pepper and potato shreds. Make cucumbers and pickle them slightly. Cut the tofu into cubes and add egg droplets to make tofu and egg drop soup.

These vegetarian dishes are not uncommon, even Master Sun and Master Wang have made them, but the taste is really unflattering.

Liu Yuan and others knew about Li Yuan's Cuju kick today. When they learned that Wen Mingtang was doing the evening meal today, they began to look forward to the evening meal for the first time since entering Dali Temple.

However, after looking at the files on the table, Liu Yuan shook his head, shook off the expectations for Mu Shi in his mind, and continued to look down at the files.

The names in the row on the file in my hand are very hard to pronounce: they are not from the Central Plains!

At this point, he still doesn't know how these are related to the case itself, but Lin Shaoqing asked him to investigate, so let's investigate!

After he finished checking the file in his hand and heard the bell ringing for Youshi, Liu Yuan hurriedly threw away the file in his hand and hurried to the public kitchen hall.

I originally thought that he had left early enough, but unexpectedly, there were already many people sitting in the public kitchen of Dali Temple.

You came really early! Liu Yuan secretly said something bitterly, walked to the front of the table, said hello to Wen Mingtang and others standing behind the table, and then eagerly lowered his head to look at the dishes on the table.

The vegetarian dishes are green peppers, shredded potatoes and cucumbers in the same photo. Compared with the obviously burnt, fried and rotten vegetarian dishes of Master Sun and Master Wang in the past, the two vegetarian dishes on this table look much better in appearance. In the soup pot on the side is a tofu and egg drop soup made of tender white tofu and beaten egg drop.

The dishes are still made in the same way, but they are green and white. The clean and refreshing appearance makes people feel a little appetizing at a glance.

What really made him unable to take his eyes away was the meat dishes on the side.

The meat dish for dinner today is pork ribs, but the cooking method is completely different from what he has seen before. When fried, it turns into a golden color. It was also covered with what looked like fried peanut crumbs and something unknown. Just standing here, an indescribable aroma of garlic came over my nose.

The name of this dish lives up to the indescribable aroma of garlic, it’s called Garlic Spare Ribs.

When eating, he skewers his thumbs on a wooden skewer in front of the table and eats them raw. Ji Caimai, who is like a "living sign", is also pinching both ends of the ribs with his two fingers and opening his mouth to eat the garlic pork ribs.

Liu Yuan only saw Ji Caimai bite off the pork meat near the bone. Because he was so close, he could hear the crispy sound of the ribs the moment he took a bite.

The outside is crispy and the pork inside is tender and tender just by looking at it. Although it was soft and tender, it was extremely easy to remove the bones. Liu Yuan watched Ji Caimai pinch both ends of the bones and took a few bites along the ribs. In the blink of an eye, all the meat on the bones was eaten clean. Only one bone remains. Even though there were only bones left, Ji Caimai still sucked the aftertaste on the bones, then reluctantly threw the bones away and turned to the next piece.

Just looking at it like this is almost unbearable. I don’t know if Ji Caimai did it on purpose or... Needless to say, this old and cunning man must have done it on purpose!

Liu Yuan gave Ji Caimai a sharp look, quickly took the bowl and plate from A Bing, and walked to the nearest food table.

As soon as he sat down, he immediately picked up a piece of garlic spareribs with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Just now when he watched Ji Caimai nibbling on the garlic pork ribs, he could smell the rich aroma of garlic, and he had already imagined the taste of the garlic pork ribs. But after actually entering, I realized that my imagination was still too shallow.

The pork ribs have crispy skin and the pork is tender. When you take a bite, a strong garlic aroma envelops the pork. Not only does it not overwhelm the dish, but it actually makes the pork even more fragrant. What he never expected was that the peanut-like particles wrapped around the pork were actually not peanuts, but garlic. The crispiness of the garlic added a more complex texture to the whole garlic ribs. , which makes the whole ribs taste layer by layer, making people want to stop after one bite.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but cheered repeatedly, and he hurriedly picked up the second chopstick after eating one piece. However, in the blink of an eye, he had eaten down to the last piece of the garlic spareribs in the bowl.

Then, Zhao You was seen leading the way, followed by Lin Fei and Li Yuan walking into the public kitchen.
