In Ye Xiao's impression, when his mother made this braised pork when she was a child, she didn't use any special ingredients or any special processes.

But the strange thing is that this braised pork made by Ye Xiao's mother has a very special taste, and that taste not only makes Ye Xiao remember it vividly, but also makes Old Man Ye remember it vividly, and even Ye Duxue still deeply remembers the taste of braised pork.

So at this moment, when Ye Xiao said this, Ye Duxue immediately nodded vigorously and said, "Brother, in fact, when my father said that he wanted to eat braised pork today, I really wanted to say that the braised pork that your mother burned back then was definitely the best and best food I have ever eaten in my life." ”

Perhaps it is for this reason that Ye Xiao fell in love with cooking and has been constantly exploring the matter of food.

Soon Ye Xiao began to process the ingredients, according to his memory, his mother cooked braised pork at that time, and all the ingredients used were put on the plate little by little.

Although Ye Xiao had tried many times before this, he had never been able to restore his mother's taste, but this time, Ye Xiao believed that when a chef's mood changes when cooking a dish, maybe the taste will also change with his mood.

So Ye Xiao didn't think about anything, he just recalled in his mind that when his mother was making braised pork, she stood in front of the gas stove in an apron, slowly processing the ingredients, cooking slowly, and slowly waiting for the braised pork to come out of the pot.

This time, Ye Xiao cooked this bowl of braised pork completely according to the picture in his memory.

Soon, the charming fragrance came out, and when Ye Duxue smelled this smell, she deeply felt that this smell was the taste of childhood.

"Brother, it's so fragrant, I think this taste is the taste of the year." Ye Duxue couldn't help but say.

Of course, a bowl of meat can't be judged by the taste, whether it can achieve the taste of the past, so Ye Xiao is still very cautious in his heart when dealing with the next process, for fear that because of a small mistake of his own, the whole taste will change.

It may be because of the danger of Old Man Ye's life this time, or it may be because Ye Duxue is by his side this time, and it is more likely that this time, Ye Xiao returned to Tianhai City.

So this time, although it was exactly the same process as before, Ye Xiao did feel that the taste had changed, just a slight change, but it was closer to his mother's taste. Looking at the pot, under the slow simmering over low heat, the braised pork that has been completely stained red by soy sauce and old wine, spices such as cinnamon and star anise, the soup has been very viscous on the surface of the braised pork under long-term cooking, making the whole braised pork look crystal clear.

This bowl of braised pork, Ye Xiao cooked it for about an hour, and when it finally came out of the pot, Ye Xiao's heart was a little nervous.

Ye Xiao carefully brought the braised pork out of the pot to Ye Duxue, then looked at Ye Duxue gently, and said, "You taste it first, but you have to promise my brother, as long as it tastes a little different from when I was a child, you have to tell my brother that my brother must make it again." ”

"Brother, in fact, there is no need to be like this, although Dad wants to eat the braised pork made by your mother back then, but what does it matter if there is a slight difference in taste?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and said, "Duxue, do you know where the greatest value of food is?" ”

Ye Duxue had never thought about this question, so when Ye Xiao asked this, Ye Duxue's eyes were a little more dazed, and finally she shook her head and said, "Brother, I don't know." ”

Ye Xiao looked at Ye Duxue gently and said: "The greatest value of food is not to satisfy a person's desires, but when he eats this food, he can have the best memories when he first ate this food, and this memory will accompany people for a lifetime." ”

Although Ye Xiao's words were a little profound, Ye Duxue still understood it somewhat, just like eating this bowl of braised pork now, Old Man Ye did not really feel the taste of this bowl of braised pork, but because he missed Ye Xiao's mother, and to recall the happy time when they were together.

Ye Duxue carefully picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of braised pork, which looked very appetizing, and then carefully put it into her mouth.

In an instant, that familiar smell permeated Ye Duxue's whole body, and then Ye Duxue couldn't help but close her eyes, recalling in her mind that back then, she and Ye Xiao were playing in the living room, and then Ye Xiao's mother came out with a bowl of braised pork and told them the picture of the meal.

Nearly two decades have passed in a flash.

Eating and eating, Ye Duxue's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, until after swallowing the whole piece of braised pork, Ye Duxue opened her eyes, stared at Ye Xiao with affection, and said, "Brother, it's delicious." ”

Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Twilight Snow, is it the same taste that used to be?" ”

However, Ye Duxue shook her head and said, "Brother, it's still a little close." ”

Hearing this, Ye Xiao's heart was slightly touched, and then he stared at Ye Duxue's eyes seriously, and said, "Duxue, can you describe what that missing taste is?" ”

In fact, this is very difficult, after all, this is not a lack of sweetness, a lack of saltiness, or a lack of fragrance can be described, this lack of taste Ye Xiao knows very well in his heart, it is completely a taste that is difficult to tell but can be clearly felt.

However, what Ye Xiao didn't expect was that Ye Duxue grinned, smiled a little playfully, and said, "I can completely describe what is this missing taste?" ”

This made Ye Xiao very curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Hurry up and tell me, what's missing?" ”

At this time, Ye Duxue waved her hand at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother, sit down." ”

Ye Xiao sat in front of Ye Duxue excitedly, and asked again, "Tell me quickly." ”

Then, I saw Ye Duxue put down her chopsticks, suddenly grabbed a piece of braised pork with her bare hands, stuffed it into Ye Xiao's mouth, and said: "Brother, what is missing is this taste, when you were a child, whenever your mother made braised pork, didn't we just take it and rush to eat it like now?" ”

These words made Ye Xiao's body shake slightly, and then when he tasted the taste of this braised pork in his mouth, Ye Xiao found that it was indeed the taste of his childhood.

So, Ye Xiao also grabbed a piece of braised pork with his bare hands and put it in Ye Duxue's mouth, Ye Duxue immediately took the initiative to bite the braised pork, and then when Ye Xiao was about to retract his hand, Ye Duxue took the initiative to grab his hand.
