Article 532

Sixi meatballs are a common dish at festive banquets in the north, and the recipe is not complicated, as long as the master has learned the cooking skills for a few days, almost everyone can make it. However, the four happiness balls in the lake restaurant outside the lake are different from the ordinary four happiness balls, this dish is Liao Yongping's grandfather Liao De'an was the original one when he was the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, even the Cixi Lafayette, who is known as eating fasting and reciting Buddha every day, can not stand the temptation of Liao De'an's four happiness balls, and always has to break so many fasts every month.

Liao Dean left the imperial dining room and opened the Huwaihu Restaurant on the shore of Daming Lake, and later Liao Bingfeng inherited his father's business, not only inherited the Huwaihu Restaurant from his father Liao De'an, but also learned Liao De'an's unique skills in making Sixi Balls, so after Liao De'an's death, the reputation of Huwaihu Restaurant can also be maintained. Later, the four happiness balls that the prime minister ate, as well as the four happiness balls eaten by Tai Zongye, were all secretly made by Liao De'an with Liao's unique secret recipe.

It's a pity that the unique formula of Liao's Sixi Balls can't be passed on to Liao Yongping, the third generation. Liao Yongping from the age of twelve, followed the old man to learn to make Liao's four happiness balls, so far this year, the whole thirty-eight years of learning, but still did not fully grasp the heat of making four happiness balls, no matter how hard he tried, the four happiness balls made and the four happiness balls made by the old man Liao, there are always some differences in taste, and this difference is not easy to cover, all the guests who have eaten the four happiness balls made by the old man, and then eat the four happiness balls made by Liao Yongping, you can taste it in one bite. For this reason, Liao Bingfeng often lamented, saying that the craftsmanship passed down from his ancestors may be lost in his generation.

So what is the difference between the production process of Liao's Sixi balls and ordinary Sixi balls? In addition to the unique pickling spice recipe secretly handed down by Liao De'an, the biggest difference is in the production process of pork filling, the main ingredient of meatballs. In general restaurants, when making Sixi meatballs, they generally choose rib meat or hind leg meat, chop it into meat filling with a knife, or simply use a machine to make meat filling, and then add various ingredients to make meatballs and cook them in a pot.

The production of Liao's Sixi balls is much more complicated. First of all, in the selection of materials, the same amount of leg meat is taken from the inner part of the four legs of the left and right legs of the domestic pig, and it must meet the standards of three fat and seven lean, otherwise it will be re-selected; After taking these four pieces of meat, it is not chopped with a knife, and it cannot be processed by a machine, but it should be placed on the board, and the mallet is kept beating to beat the whole leg meat into a meat filling, and in the beating process, the strength and time of the four leg meat are not the same, so that the four pieces of leg meat will become four kinds of meat filling, which are different in terms of elasticity, delicacy and viscosity, and then mix these four kinds of meat filling into secret spices and marinate, according to the delicacy, elasticity and viscosity are wrapped into four different meatballs in different orders, and then cooked in a group of four to make their own unique Liao's Sixi meatballs.

Now Liao Yongping's problem is in the process of beating the meat filling, when his father followed his grandfather to practice for 27 years, he really mastered the hammering heat of the four kinds of meat filling, but Liao Yongping practiced for 38 years, but he never reached the level of Liao Bingfeng, so he could not cook Liao's Sixi meatballs in the real sense. If you want to eat authentic Sixi balls in Huwaihu Restaurant, you can only let Mr. Liao Bingfeng do it himself.

But now the old man Liao Bingfeng is seventy-seven years old, and his physical strength has deteriorated quite badly. With his physical strength, he can only hammer out a filling a day at most. Therefore, now the authentic Liao's secret four-happiness balls in Huwaihu Restaurant are supplied with one maximum a day, so it can be imagined how tight this Liao's secret four-happiness balls are, and even to a considerable extent, it has become a status symbol. Only the most noble guests are qualified to eat this Sixi balls cooked by Mr. Liao himself.

Song Wenshan is naturally self-aware, although he is the president of the provincial high court is a deputy provincial cadre, but in Xiangyang Province, it is actually nothing, and there are at least dozens of places with a higher status than him, so when he arrived at the Huwaihu Restaurant, he naturally did not dare to name the four happy balls made by the old man Liao. But Bao Changhai is different, as the ninth member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, there are few people with a higher status than him, not to mention that he is also the direct son of the Bao family, one of the top eight wealthy families, even those members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee who are ranked in front of him do not dare to offend him easily, so he called Liao Yongping today and asked Mr. Liao to make the four happy balls by himself, which naturally has a lot of confidence.

Liao Yongping listened to Bao Changhai's name and the old man's Sixi balls, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't hide if he wanted to! He looked at Bao Changhai in embarrassment and said, "Commander Bao, you said it a little late. The old man's share of the Four Happiness Balls has been ordered. ”

"What are you afraid of, you just have to send the food to me!" Bao Changhai didn't ask Liao Yongping who ordered it, but waved his hand disapprovingly, and said to Liao Yongping, "You go and tell him that I, Bao Changhai, are here to invite my brother to dinner today, so please carry forward his style and give this four-happiness pill to my old bag, and count my old bag as his personal favor!" ”

Liao Yongping smiled bitterly and said, "Commander Bao, I don't dare to say this." ”

"Hey, hey!" Bao Changhai couldn't help laughing, "What is the origin of that person, you don't even dare to say Boss Liao?" Okay, you don't dare to say it, I'll go over and say go. I really want to take this opportunity to visit the nobles today! "Bao Changhai came to the banquet to invite Lin Yuanfang today, and he was entrusted by the old man Bao Huangchuan, so he was naturally very bold when he spoke. Even if it is Shangguan Shenxue of the Xiangyang Provincial Party Committee who is here today, Bao Changhai is confident that Shangguan *** will let this Sixi pill out.

"Commander Bao, I see, you'd better not go over." Liao Yongping saw that Bao Changhai was about to get up, so he hurriedly went over to stop Bao Changhai and said, "If you listen to my old Liao's words today, I will definitely not cheat you!" ”

"Oh?" Bao Changhai can sit in the position of member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Commander of the Provincial Military Region, naturally he is not a reckless person, he saw Liao Yongping's demeanor so cautious, he couldn't help but turn his mind, thinking of someone, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air in his heart for a while. So he stretched out his hand to call Liao Yongping to his side, stretched out his hand to dip his hand in tea, wrote a word on the table, and asked, "Boss Liao, is this nobleman?" ”

Liao Yongping glanced at it and nodded solemnly, "Commander Bao, you guessed right!" ”

Bao Changhai couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yuanfang, and said, "Far away, the eldest brother is not enough today, and he can't order the four happiness pills, you have to bear with me!" ”

Song Wenshan, who was on the side, had a sudden shock in his heart when he heard this, what would be the origin of the noble person who could make Bao Changhai jealous? He was very curious to know who this noble man was, so he looked at the table on Bao Changhai's side, wanting to see what words Bao Changhai wrote on the table. However, Bao Changhai's teacup was just in front of that word, blocking that word tightly, and when he looked at it from here, he couldn't even see a corner, and he couldn't help but become more and more curious for a while.

Nan Qunsheng didn't have a teacup on his side, but he sat a little farther away, and when he looked at it, he only saw the white flowers on the table reflecting the light, and he couldn't see what Bao Changhai was writing at all. For a while, I couldn't figure out who the noble man Bao Changhai was talking about.

Bao Changzheng sat next to Bao Changhai, but he could see the word written by his cousin Bao Changhai clearly, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart, and secretly said How could it be this nobleman? Fortunately, cousin Bao Changhai was not impulsive, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

Lin Yuanfang was also sitting next to Bao Changhai, but his eyes didn't sweep to the desktop in front of Bao Changhai at all. Which noble person is it and what does it have to do with him? Anyway, he just had a meal here, and then he went to Huanghai City to be his deputy mayor. No matter who this noble person is, it has nothing to do with him Lin Yuanfang, and he cares about this.

Seeing that Bao Changhai was still apologizing to himself seriously, Lin Yuanfang couldn't help laughing, isn't it just a four-happiness pill, it can be used so solemnly. He smiled indifferently and said, "Big brother, as long as you have wine to drink, you can eat the same food." ”

Hearing that he was going to drink, Bao Changhai became arrogant again, he waved his hand at Liao Yongping, and said: "Old Liao, go and bring all the good wine you pressed at the bottom of the box, I want to accompany my brother to drink enough today!" ”

Hearing that Bao Changhai wanted good wine, Liao Yongping breathed a sigh of relief, he had good wine, but there was only one Sixi pill made by his father. It is necessary to wrap Changhai and not entangle the four happy balls. Liao Yongping was really afraid that Bao Changhai's 'sex' would come up just now, so he went to find that noble man to theorize! Whatever the outcome will be, it will not be a good thing for him at that time! Now Bao Changhai just wants good wine, then everything is OK, even if all the good wine in the cellar outside the lake is emptied, it is nothing.

"Commander Bao, you just let go and drink, today's wine and food are mine." Liao Yongping is very good at being a man, and immediately gave a big favor.

"What bastards! I'll give my brother the wind, how can I count you! Don't go and move the wine yet! Bao Changhai's eyes widened, and he waved his hand and said.

Liao Yongping didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and was about to go out to ask someone to go with him to get wine, when he saw a waiter come in with an antique 'color' tray and a delicate sterling silver cover on it, which was engraved with four big characters, Liao's secret system.

Liao Yongping couldn't help but change his face, isn't this the four joy pills made by the old man? How did you get here? If the noble man saw it, how could he explain it clearly!

At that moment, Liao Yongping couldn't care so much, and immediately stopped the waiter, forcibly suppressed his anger and whispered: "Which bastard asked you to send this dish over?" Why don't you get it out soon? ”

At this time, a person's voice came from the door: "I asked her to bring this dish." ”

When Liao Yongping heard this voice, he couldn't help but tremble: My mother-in-law! It's going to be a dead man! I actually scolded the noble man as a bastard......
