When her stepmother-in-law Li heard that she had to pay for her own cooking, she couldn't help but be secretly worried.

If Fan Yu messes up this dish, where will their mother and son have the money to pay.

"Yu'er, you don't have to be angry with the store, let's change it." Granny Li opened her mouth to persuade her, she is not as good as Fan Yu's heart.

"Mother rest assured, even if it is a simple ingredient, a child can make it appetizing." Fan Yu finally pulled up this field, how could he turn back, it wasn't a joke, "What's more, it's not that I can't get along with the store, I just want my mother to have a good meal." ”

The young diner listened impatiently, and interrupted Fan Yu's words at this time: "You mother and son don't have any worries, with me, a Chinese person, as a guarantor, what are you afraid of." Although this little brother goes to do it, he can only ask the store for what he lacks. Don't delay any longer, spoil my interest. ”

When Shopkeeper Wu heard the words of the young guest, he couldn't help but smile conceitedly and said: "That's right, if the little brother leaves like this, Master Wang in my store will not be happy." How can his dignified master from Bianliang be underestimated at will. I also hope that the little brother will show some skills to suppress Master Wang's arrogance. ”

Although this is polite, it also has a faint sense of agitation. The reason is also clear, you can't look down on the craftsmanship of our master Taibai Lou in vain.

Fan Yu smiled slightly, and said to his stepmother-in-law, Granny Li: "Mother, please sit upstairs for tea, and the child will go to the back kitchen for a while, and then come back later." ”

sent the anxious stepmother upstairs to sit down, and Fan Yu was about to go downstairs to the back kitchen with the guy.

The young guest and the shopkeeper Wu also sat down upstairs, and at this time, the young man called Fan Yu and said, "Little brother, you haven't said how many dishes to cook, how long will it take?" It's almost noon. ”

Fan Yu shook his head slightly, "This big brother, I don't know how many dishes to cook, let's look at the ingredients in the back kitchen." But it will take at least half an hour, and if you can't wait, please take care of yourself. ”

People are all cheap-tempered, and the more Fan Yu says this, the more he seems to be confident, and the more he can arouse people's curiosity.

The young man laughed and teased: "Okay, okay, a certain family is waiting for you." It's just that there is one point, the little brother can make two portions of each dish, so that I can taste one or two with Shopkeeper Wu. ”

"If it weren't for the eldest brother's reminder, I almost forgot about it, as it should be." Fan Yu responded and went downstairs.

followed the guy to the back kitchen, where a bald fat chef in his forties was already waiting. There were two young men standing behind the fat chef, and the three of them stared at Fan Yu who came in with unkind faces, obviously some words reached the ears of the three of them.

The guy looked at the three people in the back kitchen, and said to Fan Yu with a smile: "This is my Master Wang of Taibai Building, as well as his two apprentices." If there is a need, ask them. ”

After glancing at the three masters and apprentices on the other side, Fan Yu shook his head and said, "The ingredients and seasonings in the store, just tell me where they are." ”

Under the reluctant guidance of several people, Fan Yu familiarized himself with the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the back kitchen, as well as the placement of ingredients.

After looking around, Fan Yu also had a bottom in his heart. He turned his gaze to a pig that had just been slaughtered on a large meat case.

"Little brother wants to use pork to cook?" When Chef Wang saw Fan Yu's gaze, he said mockingly: "This pork, rich and noble people never eat it." And the pork smells bad, and if you don't make one well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat. If it weren't for the fact that Caoqiao Town was a small place, the little brother would not even be able to see a single pig hair. If you want to use beef and mutton, we have good preparation in the kitchen. ”

But Fan Yu's gaze only turned on the pig, and then looked at the pot of pigs next to him.

Master Wang's bare hair was shiny, but the contempt in his eyes was even stronger. In his mind, the rich and noble only eat beef and mutton. Pork is the meat of the poor, and pigs are the only thing that the poor among the poor are willing to eat. Now seeing that this young man is not taking his eyes off the pork and pig into the water, it is obvious that he has never seen anything in the world, how can he make any good dishes.

Fan Yu nodded at this time and said, "Master Wang, don't underestimate the pork and pig intestines, these things are done, they are really fragrant and delicious." ”

In his later life, when the price of pork skyrocketed, he was usually reluctant to eat more. Now it's good to go to the Great Song Dynasty, this thing has actually become eaten by the poor. Before coming to the back kitchen, Fan Yu had some ideas, and the pork was very fresh at this time, which made him feel more at ease.

"What, pig intestines?" Master Wang was taken aback, "Little brother, you're not a fool, aren't you?" Don't think I'm not good at talking, we have always fed dogs in pigs' intestines, and even the poor people hate the smell of this thing. Eating pig intestine and eating pig feces are the same taste, if you say a big thing, it's not such a statement! ”

When Fan Yu heard this, he knew it even more.

"The master hasn't seen it, so there's no need to make a fuss. After I make it, the master can evaluate it. Fan Yu said with a smile.

At this time, Master Wang's two apprentices were a little unconvinced, and one of them said thinner: "You just say big things, how powerful you are talking now, you will be shameless later." ”

Another apprentice of Master Wang also wanted to say a few words, but saw Fan Yu wave his hand and said to a few people: "A few people, please wait outside, I don't want to be disturbed when I cook, otherwise if I don't do well, you can't blame me." ”

Listening to Fan Yu's words, Master Wang and the two apprentices all had bruises in their heads. The back kitchen of Taibai Building has always been the territory of the three of them, even if the shopkeeper Wu came here, he had to be polite to them. It's good today, but I was kicked out by a teenager from outside, where is there any face to speak of.

As soon as the guy saw this situation, he immediately said, "Master Wang, let's go and wait outside." If this little brother doesn't do well, wouldn't he blame a few of us? ”

Master Wang thought about it, so he had to swallow this sullen breath, snorted and shook off with the two apprentices.

The guy sighed and glanced at Fan Yu, shook his head and said, "Little brother is so self-conscious, now there is no excuse, it depends on your true ability." ”

After these people left, Fan Yu found an apron to tie and began to process pork and pig intestines.

He had already planned it in his mind, it was the first year of Jingyou under Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Su Dongpo had not yet been born. The famous Dongpo meat is impossible to spread. Although Su Shi is a great poet and a great writer, this guy is a real foodie, and he has worked food.

The legend about Dongpo meat is not fake. Among the poems left by Su Shi is a pork ode: Wash the bell, less water. Chai Tou Gong (yan3) can't smoke, don't urge him when he is ripe, and he is beautiful when the fire is enough. There is also 'good pork in Huangzhou, the price is as cheap as dirt. The noble refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook'.

This shows that pork was not very popular during the Northern Song Dynasty. The rich don't look down on it, and the poor won't do it.

However, Fan Yu came from later generations, and his approach was much stronger than Su Shi's crude approach.

He immediately brushed the pot to boil water, and then took a kitchen knife and cut off a large piece of pork belly with skin and cut it into inch-sized cubes. He also took out a whole piece of pig's large intestine, sprinkled it with flour and salt grains, and rubbed and washed it vigorously.

Fan Yu wants to make two dishes, a braised pork and a fat sausage.
