At 6.30 p.m., at the humble celebration banquet, due to the lack of ingredients, Shao'an only made two dishes, a braised eel and a fruity grilled pork ribs. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A total of four people attended the celebration banquet, and in addition to Shaoan and Marshall Ditch, the poor mother and son also participated.

It will also be the last meal for Sauan and Marshall Ditch on Drum Island, and after the feast, they will leave the island at sea.

The news of the collective death of Valpo and his ministers spread on Magnetic Drum Island an hour ago, and this news immediately set off a huge wave, countless ordinary people were boiling, and then there were cheers and shouts that resounded in the sky, the tyrant Valpo was dead, and the group of moth-eaten ministers in the court were also dead, how could such good news not make them cheer.

No one cares how they died, let alone who the murderer is, he only knows that he will no longer have to live in darkness and fear every day.

The Navy intervened in the investigation of the Drum Island incident, and the truth automatically surfaced without investigation at all.

The army under his control, with less than 500 men left after a brutal siege, ordered them to be stationed in the castle and attack anyone who dared to break into the castle.

The investigation team from the Navy became the first target of this group of puppet soldiers, and in the face of a large group of soldiers who were not afraid of death, the Navy investigation team with an absolute disadvantage in numbers was completely wiped out.

The loss of an investigation team is undoubtedly like being slapped in the face for the navy, can the navy endure such humiliation?

The answer was, of course, unbearable, so the navy mobilized a large number of men and quickly eliminated the soldiers controlled by Shao'an.

Since the letters of rebellion were found on the bodies of this group of soldiers as evidence, the naval side defined the whole incident.

After the navy took this bad breath and regained their face, they swore to the public that Valpo and his courtiers were killed by the rebel army, and how did his navy destroy the rebel Yunyun with great difficulty......

From the beginning to the end, Shaoan and Marshall Ditch were not the target of suspicion, and the matter of the Magnetic Drum Island Kingdom came to a conclusion so hastily.

※※※--------------------------------------------------------

Everything that happened in the outside world did not affect the good mood of the four people who held the celebration banquet here.

Fruity grilled ribs are very popular, especially Marshall Ditch, a guy with a sweet tooth, holding two ribs in one hand, and after eating the two ribs in his left hand, he will eat the ribs on the two pieces on his right hand, and at the same time, his left hand will replenish two grilled ribs from the plate, and the cycle will be repeated, and the food is very happy.

However, the most popular dish is the braised eel, which was quickly rushed by everyone as soon as it came out.

Eel is one of the most common fish on Drum Island, but in this country where the people's culinary knowledge is generally low, it is true that few people know the correct way to cook eel.

Legend has it that the third king of the Drum Island Kingdom died on the table after eating the eel dishes cooked by the imperial chef in an incorrect way.

Since then, the residents of Cigu Island have also included eels in the recipe blacklist.

Shao'an's presence changed the situation, and the braised eel he made today has become a well-known home-cooked dish on Drum Island in the future.

The eel is cut into sections and marinated, and when it is put into the pan, it is washed with hot oil and garlic, and the unique aroma that is masked instantly erupts.

Stir-fry, add water and simmer.

The collagen-rich meat is fluffy but not soft in the soup, and it looks even more appetizing when seasonings are added.

In the world where Shao'an was born, braised is originally a north-south art, and the secret lies in the blending of sugar, soy sauce, wine and oil.

Sugar, in the practice of Chinese cuisine, can not only enhance the sweetness of the prickly ji, but also enhance the umami taste, can dissolve the oiliness, and can give the meat a wonderful umami.

Coloring and seasoning, first color and then water, is the secret of braised wine, under the premise that the taste harmony tends to be perfect, the color should be light and not dark, and the sugar should be less and not more.

The stir-fried sugar turns dark or light caramel color, and when heated with soy sauce, it has the magical power to soak all ingredients.

The appearance of the braised eel made the three people at the banquet except Shao'an full of praise, especially the mother and son of the aborigines of Magnetic Drum Island, who were even moved to tears.

The little boy still had braised soup sticking to his mouth, and he looked at Shao'an, as if he had all his courage after a long time.

"Uncle Shao'an, you have avenged my family, I already owe you a lot, I shouldn't have asked you again, but I still want to say, Uncle Shao'an, I want to learn how to cook with you! The little boy said sincerely.

Shao An was a little surprised, and had to admit that the little boy's sincerity touched him, and as for teaching the little boy to learn to cook one or two dishes, there was really no problem at all.

"Can you learn how to cook?" How about learning this braised eel?" said Shao'an, pointing to the braised eel that was no longer on the plate.

"Braised eel? Okay, Uncle Shao'an and I learned this dish first. The boy replied in surprise.

After the meal, Shao An took the little boy to the kitchen, the little boy was too short to reach the height of the kitchen counter, and finally had to build a bench to reach the kitchen counter.

Since the boy had no cooking experience, Shao An could only teach him by hand, but fortunately, his understanding was not bad, and after studying it three times, he could master the steps of the whole braised eel.

There was still some time left before the sea, and Shaoan led the little boy outside the house.

Shao An squatted down, put a hand on the little boy's shoulder, and said softly, "I like you who are full of hope now, and promise my uncle to maintain this attitude towards life in the future and take good care of your mother, I can see that she suffered a big blow in that incident." ”

The little boy nodded heavily and said, "I will take good care of my mother, and I will continue to live a hopeful life like Uncle Shao'an, and I want to become a great chef like my uncle in the future." ”

"Great chef? Great idea, this is for you, as long as you can keep working on it, this knowledge can help you realize your idea. ”

Shao An said as he took out a book with a cowhide cover from his bosom and put it in the little boy's hand.

……

Marshall Ditch had not bothered the conversation between Shaoan and the little boy until he handed the book to the little boy, and he slowly walked out of a dark corner.

"Shao'an, it's almost time, it's time for us to leave. Marshall Ditch reminded.

Shaoan finally patted the boy's little head and stood up, smiling at the somewhat complicated expression of Marshall Ditch.

"So, let's go. Sauan patted Marshall Ditch on the shoulder and said.

"Haha, let's go!" said Marshall, D. Tichy, laughing heroically.
