Chapter 389 Dongpo Pork
Shi Dahai has already made the half-story-high large copper pot that was requested extra. He asked Xia Mingyue to come over and take a look.
To make such a large copper hot pot beautiful and elegant, it is far more difficult to make copperware than a small hot pot used for shabu-shabu.
The large copper pot made by Shi Dahai is round and beautiful. Even the pattern on it is no different when compared to the small copper hot pot enlarged in proportion. At the same time, it looks more majestic and clear after the enlarged size. Beautiful.
Anyone who sees it will be amazed.
Xia Mingyue was filled with emotion and fully appreciated Shi Dahai's craftsmanship.
Guanshi Fu was also speechless, but he was also a little confused, "Such a big copper pot would have to be used by dozens of people to eat shabu-shabu at the same time. I'm afraid it's not practical."
Under normal circumstances, there are usually not so many people who can go out to eat together. If so many people eat together, they will definitely have a banquet at home to show their closeness.
Besides, there is probably no room for such a big copper pot in the shop.
Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "This big copper pot is not for use. It is to be placed at the door of the shop to attract business."
To solicit business?
Fu Guan was startled at first, but his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, placing such a large copper pot next to the door immediately explains what the characteristics of their shop are. Moreover, the copper pot looks beautiful and novel, and everyone passing by will definitely take a look. Two eyes.
The most important thing for those doing business is popularity. Once you have enough popularity, are you still worried about poor business?
Manager Fu rubbed his hands excitedly, "Ms. Xia, this is a good idea. And I look at it. I don't have to wait for all the big copper pots to be finished. I can put one at the door after I finish it." It’s attractive!”
Having all the big copper pots ready and placing them at the door looks impressive, but if they are not ready many people will not be able to guess what they are, which attracts even more curiosity.
When you are curious, you will speculate and discuss for a while. In this way, in just two days, the entire Cheung Chau Prefecture will know that a novel shop has opened on the street.
"Yes." Xia Mingyue also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Steward Fu became even more energetic, "Then I will send someone to build a shelf first, so that it will be clean and beautiful."
I will hang it up with red silk then to ensure a happy occasion. And beautiful!
Seeing that Manager Fu was about to get busy, Shi Dahai felt that the burden on him was heavier.
In the past, when making copperware, you could do it as you pleased. When the time came, you could just hand it over and take it out. Now, once you have finished the part, you have to take it out and let everyone watch. It’s no different when he makes coppers on the spot!
It seems that it takes a lot of energy and strength to do this big thing well so as not to lose face.
It will not disgrace the master's reputation.
Shi Dahai made up his mind and worked hard. Today he wielded the hammer with a little more strength than usual.
But such an excited look only lasted for only half a day. When he swung the hammer again in the afternoon, Shi Dahai was obviously a little wilted.
"Master Shi, what's going on?" The boy who was sent by Manager Fu to help Shi Dahai asked with concern when he saw this.
"Nothing, it's probably just that the weather is still hot and I don't have much energy." Shi Dahai replied absently, but his eyes couldn't stop glancing towards the yard where Xia Mingyue lived.
The place where he makes copperware is not far from Xia Mingyue's house, just a few steps away. Because of this, he can smell the fragrant smell every day. These smells made Shi Dahai feel that the three dishes and one soup he ate every day were inferior and even tasted like chewing wax, but he was too embarrassed to eat them.
After all, he is hired to do a job. If he goes beyond that, it will appear to be rude and rude, and he will lose this friendship in the future, and he will not have the opportunity to eat more delicious food...
But if he just smells the strong fragrance, But I can't taste it in my mouth. I feel really empty in my heart. I don't have any energy to work, which is not good.
Just when Shi Dahai was extremely entangled, in the middle of the night, a waiter brought a rather large casserole over.
The casserole was full of steam, and the steam was mixed with a faint aroma, which made Shi Dahai couldn't help but twitch his nose again and again.
"What is this?" Shi Dahai asked.
It smells weird.
"I don't know, I just know that Madam Xia ordered me to bring it to Master Shi, saying that Master Shi has been working very hard these days, so I want Master Shi to have a taste."
The food made by Lady Xia?
Shi Dahai was immediately overjoyed and opened the lid of the casserole without caring about the fact that it was still hot.
Along with the heat, the fragrance hit his face. When the heat dissipated, Shi Dahai saw the bright color of the stew in the casserole. At this time, the soup was still bubbling slightly. Dongpo meat.
Each piece of Dongpo meat is tied with a thin hemp rope, and the meat is fat. It trembles slightly with the bubbling soup. Just looking at it makes you feel full of appetite.
Shi Dahai swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, hurriedly took a piece of chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
The Dongpo meat was just taken out and it was so hot that Shi Dahai took several breaths of cold air, but he was reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth. He just rolled it back and forth in his mouth and stir-fried it several times. , then chew slowly.
The Dongpo pork, made from the best pork belly, is alternately fat and lean. The fat is not greasy and melts in your mouth. It has a soft and glutinous texture. The lean meat is soft but not burnt and has a rich flavor.
Yummy!
After Shi Dahai devoured a large piece of Dongpo Pork, he couldn't help but praise him repeatedly. He even asked the waiter to bring a bowl of rice and put the Dongpo Pork in the casserole with the meat and soup on top of the rice in the bowl. .
Mix the rice evenly with the thick soup. Cut the large pieces of Dongpo meat into small pieces with chopsticks. When eating, lift the chopsticks from the top and put the meat and rice into your mouth... …
Enjoyed!
People who do physical work are prone to hunger and like to eat dishes that are rich in oil and water and have thick meat. This Dongpo Pork Casserole is really suitable for them.
Especially the Dongpo Pork tastes really good!
Shi Dahai liked this Dongpo Pork so much that he even wanted to stuff the whole casserole of Dongpo Pork into his mouth. However, after thinking for a moment, he finally endured it and only took half of it into the bowl.
The remaining half is going to be added with some water, some green vegetable leaves, and cooked noodles to eat early tomorrow morning.
This kind of Dongpo Pork Noodles has the same delicious taste as Dongpo Pork Mixed with Rice, which makes people like it!
Shi Dahai thought, already impatiently waiting for dark and impatiently waiting for dawn, so that he could eat delicious noodles.
But after putting down the dishes and burping, he picked up the hammer again without hesitation.
Although it was already evening and the sun was setting, the stars were shining brightly and the fire was bright, so he could do some work.
