Xie Xin laughed loudly and said, "Seeing the smile, thank you for your love, and I hope to be able to eat happily in Xie Ji."

Although he said so, when he heard others call himself Xie Siye, Xie Xin was obviously quite good. The title of Fourth Master is not because Xie Xin is the fourth in the family, but because he is the fourth generation of Xie Ji, and Xie Ji has a history of hundreds of years since the ancestor of Kaihe. Xie Xin is the youngest generation of all the descendants, but his skills and courage do not let the past masters go to the fore, because the people in this area are called the fourth master.

Sikong Yao looked at the beef balls, if it was really as cumbersome as Uncle Xie said, then the daily output must not be high, and I am afraid that it would not be able to supply it without dozens of beef ball cooks. In this era when machine technology is gradually banning the artificial tradition, in order to make higher profits and save manpower, it must be time for many businesses to use machines for production.

Sikong Yao asked, "Are these all hand-beaten?"

Xie Xin nodded and said, "Yes, a master can only supply a hundred catties of beef balls a day at most, and there are eighty masters making beef balls in this shop alone."

There are 80 chefs cooking beef balls, which is really impressive, which is comparable to some beef ball suppliers.

Sikong Yao rarely sighed to Bai Xia: "It would be nice if I could see the stick that beats the beef balls, I don't know if it is the same as a rolling pin."

Xie Xin corrected: "A special square iron rod, also known as a hammering knife, is used to beat beef, which is different from a stick, and it is wide and narrow, like an unedged axe."

Sikong Yao said curiously: "It seems that there are really a lot of secrets."

Xie Xin spoke energetically, obviously a hospitable person, and also smiled: "Definitely." In fact, that's just the way it goes, word by word: hit! ”

According to Xie Xin, to make beautiful Chaozhou beef balls, of course, you must first choose beautiful beef, and it is best to use cattle in Chaoshan area, because Chaoshan cattle live in saline-alkali land and have high nutritional value. The meat is particularly delicate. And make the meat of the balls. It must be beef leg meat that arrives fresh in Guangzhou every day.

"Don't look at a small beef ball, if you really want to make it right, it will take a lot of work. It is said that it only takes manpower to thrash. The tendons of the beef balls will be completely separated, and the taste will be more refreshing. ”

Xie Xin said again: "But you can't fight indiscriminately, but you are quite particular." At first use the narrow side of the hammer and later on the wide side. And keep it parallel to the anvil. The cutting board used is also 200 catties of beef weighing 10 kilograms. The master had to beat it continuously for at least an hour and a half before he could stop. ”

"After the beef leg is pounded into a soft meat sauce, then an appropriate amount of refined salt, snow powder, fish sauce and other seasonings are added. It is indispensable to add ice cubes in the ratio of one pound of meat to one or two ices to cool down the beaten beef quickly. Then grasp the pulp with your hands. Clench your fists and squeeze them into pills. Use a spoon to dig into a basin of warm water, and you can put it into the pot. ”

Yifan praised: "Look at Fourth Master Xie, you must also be a martial artist, right?"

The spirit of ordinary people. There is no way to exude such a strong domineering spirit, and I endured it for a long time. Yifan finally asked.

Xie Xin said with a smile: "My ancestors have training, and I have learned some martial arts, but they are all fur, and they are just fists and legs."

The people around him coaxed: "Fourth master, don't be humble, the last time I was by the Longhu ditch, dozens of gangsters couldn't get close to you for half a point, if it's really a fist and a leg, how can you put down so many people in two minutes?"

Thinking of the incident last time, Xie Xin touched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "That's all thanks to Xu Xuexue's light, and no one dares to make trouble in his territory."

What others said, as well as Xie Xin, couldn't tell the truth from the fake in the end, but Yifan has been crisscrossing the world for many years, has seen many different sects of kung fu, and his old and spicy discernment is enough for him to see some clues. …

Yifan said: "Look at the figure of the fourth master, it must be a kind of boxing method, the style should be based on big opening and closing, pay attention to killing with one blow, easy not to shoot, and move like thunder."

Xie Xinhuan looked at Yifan meaningfully and said, "Brother Tai seems to be quite bottomed out?"

Yifan shook his head slightly and said: "I saw that your hands were full of hard skin, which was formed after the skin became numb after the cocoon faded many times, and many boxers have this general nature, so it can be seen that what you should practice is a kind of boxing technique." The so-called force starts from the ground, the essence of boxing lies in the twisting of the joints and the force of the waist, in the long run, the lines of the muscles will continue to stretch under the drive of twisting, and they have a full sense of line. Then look at your biceps muscles like a ball, it must be a large swing under the swing to bring the muscles to the big contour of the shake, will give birth to such a look. ”

The so-called peep leopard in the tube, see the subtle and know the whole, and anyone who can guess only by Xie Xin's figure is not far from ten, which is indeed capable.

Xie Xin suddenly laughed at this time: "Haha, I heard that the little sister who welcomed the guests said that there were a group of people in the store, and one of them was carrying a silver spear, and he thought he was here to smash the field, so he came out to take a look." However, according to Brother Tai's demeanor, he must not be an unreasonable person, I am a villain, and I am not a villain, so I will accompany Brother Tai. ”

Shui Ying teased: "Ha, I said that you don't always go out with a silver gun, it will scare others."

Yifan apologized: "I'm sorry, because this silver gun is like a relative to me, so I never leave my body, please forgive me."

Xie Xin nodded, deeply understanding Yifan's mood, and said, "I understand this."

Yifan thanked him: "Thank you for your understanding."

Xie Xin's feelings were very good, and then he said: "It is rare for a few people to come from afar today, which can be regarded as a kind of fate, so I will entertain you with those superb beef balls."

Xie Xin took out the beef balls, there are some holes inside, which is caused by the air overflowing during the cooking process, and it is also the secret of their elasticity and flexibility. If the machine is hammered, the force is always the same, and the hammer will not be able to make this shape.

Carefully experience the word "elastic teeth", and as soon as the fresh beef balls come out of the pot, immediately order a bowl to eat first. Take a big bite hard, and the beef balls are full of strength. The reflexes of the nerves in the mouth are also sensitive, and a trace of gravy can be clearly detected accompanying this process. If you pay a little attention, you can see that the inside of the smooth beef balls is actually "full of holes", with some holes distributed, which is probably the secret of their elasticity and flexibility.

Just the beautiful cow pills have stolen the limelight, so the soup base can only silently take a back seat and become a supporting role. The local beef balls in Chaoshan are easy and simple to eat, focusing on the original taste of the beef, and there are almost no special requirements for the soup base and other accessories, and the real Chaozhou Yankees often only order a pot of water with a few slices of green onion and ginger. Xie Ji has improved here, using beef bones to hang the soup base, not only will not steal the limelight of beef balls, but also match the fresh and strong flavor to the slightest.

Teochew beef balls are indispensable for sand tea sauce. Shacha sauce is mainly made by grinding dozens of raw materials such as peanut kernels, sesame seeds, fish sauce, garlic, dried shrimp, shallots, and chili peppers. As soon as you taste the taste of sand tea sauce, you can know the master's foundation.

Xie Xin took out his secret sand tea sauce, and the fragrance instantly spread, and someone in the distance exclaimed.

Su Congshuang was full of praise and said: "Hehe, when I first arrived, I thought that Xie Ji had declined, but I didn't expect that the true essence had not been lost, which is really good."

Xie Xin looked at Su Congshuang and said, "The little girl knows the essence of Xie Ji?"

Su Congshuang nodded and said: "Those beef balls before, although they are also delicious, but the strength is slightly insufficient, if I am not mistaken, it should not be from your Xie family's knife technique, and the sand tea sauce is also missing a condiment, which makes me very disappointed." But now, it doesn't. ”…

Third Uncle Xie sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, he is an expert, he actually knows so clearly?" In the past few years, as the business has gradually expanded, several of us have no care about supplying so many meatballs, and we should enjoy the happiness when we make money, so we have taught all of them to the apprentices.

Su Congshuang nodded and said: "I understand this, once you go to scale, you won't be able to supply such a large quantity." ”

Xie Xin said: "But even so, those apprentices are working hard."

Su Congshuang responded: "Well, if I hadn't eaten your family's traditional beef balls in the early years, I would have felt a little different."

Xie Xin said: "It seems that you are also a Shantou Tong, seeing that you are not very old, but you have a wide range of knowledge."

Su Congshuang said proudly: "In addition to beef balls, there is another kind of meatball in Shantou that is as famous overseas, that is, Su Ji Jinghe Fish Ball."

Xie Xin frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and said, "The fish balls are really true, but this Su Ji Jinghe is probably not qualified enough."

Hearing this, Su Congshuang frowned slightly and said, "Why?"

Xie Xinyan said: "Over the years, the taste of Su Ji Jinghe has been worse year by year, and now it is supported by some guests who come here but return disappointed, and the old guests can't go even if they go up."

Su Congshuang asked, "Why is this?"

Xie Xin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I don't know, and I don't know about the Su family." I heard that it was the clan that was competing for the patriarch, and it seemed that there was a lot of trouble, and I didn't care about business, so I really couldn't figure it out. ”

Sikong Yao saw Su Congshuang's preoccupied look, and comforted: "What's wrong?"

Su Congshuang shook his head and said, "Xiao Yao, I'll take you to eat something else delicious."

Sikong Yao noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what was going on, so he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying goodbye to Xie Ji, Su Congshuang and the group rushed elsewhere, but with a heavy look along the way, no one could see that something must have happened, but Su Congshuang didn't know, and everyone couldn't figure it out. (To be continued)
