Chapter 384: Braised Pork Braised pork and Dongpo pork
Manhanlou, which had been very backward in the first ten minutes of the start, has now begun to catch up.
And this process is actually not unexpected by Ye Chui, because of the use of ingredients, there are many people who are interested in it, but there are not many people who really want to taste it, many people may come to see what the whole pig banquet is like because of curiosity, but they have no intention of tasting it personally, which is the reason why the vote for the whole pig banquet did not rise at the beginning.
In addition, compared with Manhan Building, Shenghuayuan has the support of Chinatown, Jingjialou has won the title of Spring Banquet Champion for three consecutive years, and Lao Huang Barbecue Restaurant is truly the dark horse on this Spring Swallow.
It is only natural that the whole pig banquet did not go high at the beginning.
However, as more and more judges finished tasting the dishes of other restaurants, and then gradually began to gather here in the Jingjialou of Shenghuayuan in the Manhan Building, the beauty of the whole pig banquet was gradually revealed.
The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, which is the reason.
Although many people were intimidated by the ingredients of Manhan House at first, the delicious dishes have that special charm, and people can quickly understand the deliciousness and wonderfulness of it.
Next to the whole pig banquet in Manhan Building, there is already a group of people, most of whom are selected as judges, most of them are gourmets or people who have been strictly selected by the food association, these people are quite cultured, so although it is very crowded at this time, it does not look messy, and everyone is consciously abiding by their own rules.
Han Yuyan and Su Xin were already busy at this time, and they kept helping people introduce each dish.
"Hello Miss Han, I am a foodie. I have met Han Lao a few times before, and you were also by Han Lao's side at that time, I don't know if you still have an impression of me. A gourmand in his fifties suddenly said to Han Yuyan at this time.
Han Yuyan glanced at this gourmet, she had seen too many people with her grandfather, and she really didn't have any impression of this person's face. So I had to smile embarrassedly.
The gourmand didn't care, he didn't talk to Han Yuyan for the sake of getting close, but was a little interested in a dish on the whole pig banquet, he pointed to a dish on the table with chopsticks, and said with some curiosity: "This dish seems to be very similar to the red stewed pork on your menu in Manhanlou, I have eaten this dish in Manhanlou." I can't forget the taste, didn't you say that there are no dishes in this whole pig banquet? ”
When Han Yuyan heard that the other party was asking this question, he immediately laughed and introduced, "Old man, you are mistaken. The name of this dish is not braised pork, but braised pork. ”
"Braised pork? What's the difference between this and braised pork? The old gentleman said curiously.
Han Yuyan already knew this question, and immediately replied: "These two dishes are similar, and the taste is very similar, but they are not the same dish, the method of braised pork is relatively homely, and the method is simpler than that of red stewed pork, and the two dishes are made of good pork belly in terms of taste." Boiling is the key to make the meat fat but not greasy, but the braised pork focuses on the juice. The soup is thick and the meat is harder, while the red stewed meat has more soup and the meat is crispy, and there are subtle differences in the texture of the two dishes, as well as subtle differences in the ingredients used in the two dishes. But that's a recipe secret. ”
When the gourmand heard Han Yuyan say this, he immediately showed a teachable expression: "I see. There is even such a difference, and I do feel that this braised pork is a little different from the braised pork I have eaten before. ”
"Old sir. In fact, there are many similar methods, why don't you try this dish again? Han Yuyan then continued to point to another dish and said to the gourmet.
The dish that Han Yuyan refers to is very similar to braised pork, which also shows a bright red texture, and the blocks are larger, neatly stacked together, the color is red and bright, the taste is mellow and the soup is thick, and it is dotted with a few corianders, and I don't know if it is the oversized piece of meat of this dish, as well as the obvious white meat texture, no one has tasted this dish until now.
The old gentleman of the gourmand bent down to look at this dish carefully, and said a little strangely: "This dish is indeed somewhat similar to braised pork, but I think this dish should be completely different from braised pork, Miss Han, what is this dish?" ”
"The name of this dish is Dongpo meat, and it is a dish that has something to do with the great writer Su Dongpo." Han Yuyan hurriedly explained, and hurriedly said some of the allusions he had memorized earlier, "As we all know, Su Dongpo is a big foodie, when he was the prefect of Xuzhou, there was a flood, Su Shi advanced and retreated with the army and the people, and finally kept Xuzhou City, the men and women of the city thanked Su Dongpo for advancing and retreating with them, breathing together, so they killed pigs and slaughtered cattle to reward Su Dongpo, Su Dongpo couldn't refuse, so he managed to develop this kind of meat delicacy and give back to the people of the city, so Dongbo meat is also called return meat, After that, this Dongpo meat spread to the world with Su Dongpo and became a famous dish. ”
The gourmand heard Han Yuyan's explanation, nodded again and again, and was even more interested in this Dongpo meat, and hurriedly used chopsticks to clip a piece and sent it to his mouth, only to feel that this meat was fragrant and glutinous, fat but not greasy, and it was crispy and not broken in shape when biting, it was very delicious, and the taste was very similar to braised pork and red stewed meat, but it was completely different.
The gourmand couldn't help but whisper, "Yes, this straw is really delicious, and it seems to me to be even better than braised pork." ”
"Master said that the origin of braised pork is actually Dongpo pork, which is a delicacy formed after Dongpo meat became famous all over the world, and the practices of the two are very similar, but braised pork is more inclined to stew, while Dongpo pork is authentic to steam, the two are similar, but they are very different, and they are two completely different dishes in the mouth of gourmets."
Braised pork, braised pork, and toba pork are all very similar, with only minor differences, but from a gourmet's point of view, these are already three dishes with a variety of different flavors.
"Participating in this spring banquet, I can eat this braised pork and Dongpo meat, and I have no regrets." After tasting two pieces of Dongpo meat, the gourmand smiled proudly.
And the conversation he had with Han Yuyan just now obviously made the others very interested in this Dongpo meat, and they all stood aside and watched.
So the gourmand took another bite with some reluctance, stepped aside, followed him out of his pocket with the voting machine, and simply voted for Manhanlou directly.
"After eating so many restaurant banquets, I still think this braised pork in Manhanlou is the most memorable."
……
"We've got nineteen votes!" In the lounge next to him, An Xiaoxiao and Wang Shiyu cheered in unison.
The number of votes in Man Hanlou increased too fast, making the two bear children indescribably happy, and except for the two of them, everyone else was also very excited and happy.
In such a short period of time, the number of votes in Manhanlou has increased by seven votes, and now it has completely thrown off the old yellow barbecue restaurant and become the third place, and there is only two votes away from the second place Jingjialou, and the current number of votes in Shenghuayuan is thirty-five votes, from just now to now, only two votes have risen.
This directly illustrates the fact that without the previous votes of foreign gourmets, the number of votes in Shenghuayuan would not have increased as fast as the Lao Huang Barbecue Restaurant, which is now in fourth place.
Jim, who was standing beside Ye Chui and the others, seemed to have completely lost his previous pride and pride at this moment, he stared at the big screen on the side of the square with his round eyes open, and his fists were clenched even harder.
He worked hard to get to this point, in order to make the cuisine of Chinatown out of the cuisine of China, many chefs on the other side of Chinatown do not know how much effort and effort they have spent, and finally formed the current situation, as long as Shenghuayuan can become the champion of the Spring Banquet, then they will succeed.
"Now the advantage of Shenghua Yuan is still very big, we will win, we will definitely win......" Jim said silently to himself in his heart.
……
On the side of the square, it is already full of people at the moment, and many people have no chance to be called the judges of the Spring Banquet, but it does not hinder their interest in the Spring Banquet.
On the periphery of the crowd, in the parking lot on one side, a car that is not very luxurious is parked here, sitting on the car is a man and a woman, and on this car, you can faintly see the display board on the side of the square.
The woman sitting in the driver's seat gives people an elegant temperament, it turned out to be Sheng Qiuyue, who had a relationship with Ye Chui, she is the owner of Jingjialou, and has won the championship of the Spring Banquet for three consecutive years, so that Jingjialou has won the title of the first hotel in China, but this year it is obvious that this title is about to be transposed, but there is no regret on her face.
On the contrary, the middle-aged man sitting in the passenger seat, his eyes were staring at the score ranking on the display board, with a very unconvinced expression and very nervous.
Sheng Qiuyue seemed to notice his expression, so she reached out and grabbed his somewhat stiff hand: "Sanjin, why can't you look at it like this, we have won the championship for three consecutive years, it is enough, and there is nothing wrong with giving it to others this year." ”
"I just feel a little unwilling." The man called Sanjin smiled bitterly.
"When we opened the Jingjialou Hotel, it was just to make a living, but slowly opened the restaurant so big, and you have become a six-star chef all the way, compared with the beginning, we have gained a lot, and we should be content." Sheng Qiuyue comforted softly.
"Alas, you are this kind of character, and you don't want to fight with anyone at all......" The man named Sanjin shook his head, and then laughed again, "But fortunately, it is your temperament that has gradually made Jingjialou so big now...... Alas, listen to you, this time we will lose if we lose, as long as we don't rob Shenghuayuan of this first place. ”
"No, Manhanlou will definitely be able to snatch the first place in the Spring Banquet." Sheng Qiuyue said very confidently, "Although I have only met Master Ye Chui once, I feel that he has that kind of ability. (To be continued)
