Chapter 116: Huaiyang Lion's Head

At the Luo brothers' stall, Li Yu was chatting with the brothers while preparing the ingredients.

The Luo brothers are from Su Province, a mother, the short one is the elder brother Shao Li, and the tall one is the younger brother Shao Yuan, both of whom are in their early thirties this year. They have a recipe for fried rice and dried soup with noodles and dried noodles, and they are ordinary children of peasant workers, because of their poor grades since childhood, so they came out to work after graduating from junior high school.

They worked on the construction site for three or four years, but last year the foreman ran away with the money, and most of the blood and sweat of half a year were wasted.

Maybe Su Huai people are born with talent in cooking, and after half a year, the restaurant's business gradually boomed. Last month, they saw information about the food exhibition, and the two brothers signed up to participate in the exhibition when they saw that the food exhibition did not require booth fees.

But after all, they are not systematically studied, it is good to say that on weekdays, an exhibition, everywhere is a three-stage start or even occasionally a four-stage 'regular army', and coincidentally there is a neon five-stage next to him, so for most of the day, the turnover of the two stalls of the brothers has not even exceeded four figures.

Later, the scene that Li Yu had just seen happened.

The two brothers were naturally very grateful for Li Yu and the other two young people who came forward to hold grievances for them, but one yard is one yard, and although the two brothers didn't say anything about Li Yu and Onojiri's bet, they were still a little worried in their hearts.

Shao Li and Shao Yuan don't play Weibo, and they don't often surf the Internet on weekdays, and the only online social networking is VX and Fighting Landlords, so they don't know Li Yu's deeds, and after listening to Bai Qingyu's explanation for a long time, they only roughly know that Li Yu should be a very good three.

But no matter how good the third section is, it's still the third paragraph, and the neon little man on the opposite side is a real fifth paragraph, although his nationality and behavior are unpleasant, but at most he can be regarded as talented and unvirtuous, no matter what, this 'talent' can't be denied.

As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things firmly, Li Yu's face is too young, in most traditional concepts, cooking requires the accumulation of experience, such a young three... Can it really work?

His younger brother Shao Yuan is a violent temper, but he is still very simple in heart. If his brothers lose, it's a big deal to roll up and leave, and he will have to change places, but if Li Yu loses, it will ruin the rest of his life... Thinking about it, Shao Yuan's hand couldn't help but clench into a fist nervously.

"Two big brothers, please help me choose pork, the thin ones account for seventy percent, and the fat ones account for thirty percent. In the middle of his thoughts, Li Yu suddenly handed over a small bowl and said to the Shaw brothers.

"Oh, oh, okay. Brother Shao Li was stunned for a few seconds, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly took the bowl, he pulled the corner of Shao Yuan's clothes, "Why are you stunned, help the little brother choose meat." ”

Shao Yuan hurriedly followed in a panic, and there happened to be pork prepared on the stall today, which happened to be fat and thin - the fat meat was ready to be boiled into lard, and the lean meat was cut into diced meat and added to the fried rice. By the way, it was precisely because he saw the half-fat pork on the Shaw Brothers' stall that Onojiri thought that Li Yu was likely to make Dongpo meat.

The Shaw brothers were selecting meat on the side, and Li Yu didn't stop with his hands, his hands were quickly preparing the ingredients.

He found the trap buried in Onojiri's words at the beginning, so naturally he would not stupidly raise his foot and step on it, what he was going to make today was a standard Suhuai dish - Huaiyang lion head.

"Lion's head" is a traditional famous dish of Su cuisine in the Suzhou cuisine, the original name is also sunflower meat, later in the Tang Dynasty, Yun Guogong Yin opened the mountain banquet guests, when the sunflower meat was served, only to see the sunflower heart made of huge meat balls, beautiful, really like the head of the lion.

Yin Kaishan has been fighting horses for half his life, and his military exploits are brilliant, and the guests persuaded him to drink: "The public should wear the handsome seal of nine lions." Yin Kaishan raised his glass and drank it all, and said: "In order to commemorate tonight's meeting, 'sunflower meat' might as well be renamed 'lion head'." ”

Since then, Yangzhou's famous dish has added a lion's head.

According to different seasons, the lion's head is made of 60% lean meat and 40% fatty meat or lean 7 fat 3, plus green onions, ginger, eggs and other ingredients chopped into meat puree, made into fist-sized meatballs, fat but not greasy, soft and tender, melt in the mouth.

Of course, Suhuai cuisine is not only a Huaiyang lion head, but the lion's head is easy to take, the taste is distinct, and the cooking is not time-consuming, which is the most suitable dish for today's bet - after all, the opposite is sushi, in the case of sufficient preparation of ingredients, the production time of sushi is not long, and in the chef duel, the cooking time is also a very critical point.

Soon, the Shaw brothers selected the pork, the ratio of fat to thin was roughly about three to seven, Li Yu roughly flipped over, although the pork meat quality is not excellent, but it will not be too inferior, enough for this cooking.

Li Yu first spread the pork on the cutting board, evenly sprinkled the shrimp skin on the pork, and then he picked up a kitchen knife from his side at random (there was no choice at this time), and quickly chopped the pork into minced pieces.

Although the kitchen knife was very ordinary, under Li Yu's operation, there was still an afterimage.

"My mom... How long has this brother been single?" Bai Qingyu, who was in charge of the live broadcast on the side, looked at this afterimage and couldn't help muttering, and at the same time, a piece of '666' was frantically brushed up in the live broadcast room.

Within a few minutes, the pork was cut into a thin minced meat foam, Li Yu put the meat foam into a bowl, added cooking wine, pepper, chicken powder, ginger, salt, sugar to taste, added starch, and then stirred it well.

At the same time, the judges in charge of the review were also present, all of whom were people Li Yu didn't know, but since it was Lei Qilian who found the judges, the neon side had no objections, and they must be well-known figures in the magic capital judging circles.

After the meat filling was stirred, Li Yu turned the whole ball of meat filling into his hand, and glanced at Bai Qingyu with his spare eyes, or not, if it is exposed, it will be exposed, it will be regarded as a live teaching, anyway, Bai Qingyu is not the only one who recorded the video at this time, not to mention those viewers with mobile phones, Li Yu, the anchor with a selfie stick, saw no less than ten.

Li Yu gently kneaded the meat filling into five small balls and asked the Shaw brothers to bring the pot to a boil, and there was the sauce he had adjusted in advance.

Then he "snapped" the meat filling onto the cutting board, and then closed, fell again, and closed it again, which can increase the firmness of the meat filling and remove the air from the meat filling.

After doing this, the pot on the side also boiled, and Li Yu put the meat balls into the pot in turn, turned on the low heat and simmered.

After waiting for half an hour, a pot of fragrant lion's head went abroad, and Li Yu put it into a large bowl and gently poured the sauce on it.

With a glance out of the corner of his eye, the sushi on Onojiri's side was also completed.
