Chapter 127 Ancient Braised Pork Rice
Sun and Wang Er learned about Liu Qiaomei’s life experience and sympathized with her very much.
And they got along very quickly and got along very well.
Liu Qiaomei came to the kitchen, first cut some mushrooms into dices, and then the pork belly. After cooking the pork belly with various spices, she also cut it into small dices.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that soy sauce was needed for this dish, so she handed the soy sauce she made to Liu Qiaomei.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Liu Qiaomei: "I made this soy sauce from soybeans, please try it."
Liu Qiaomei smelled the soy sauce and expressed her surprise, "It's such a good color, so if I use more, you won't feel bad, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "How could it be? Even if you use it, I can't say that I will open a workshop to produce soy sauce in the future. The soybeans grown in the ground are used to make soy sauce."
With this explanation, Liu Qiaomei finally understood the reason why Su Xiaoxiao grew soybeans at home.
Liu Qiaomei poured the soy sauce into the meat, then cooked it and put it on top of the rice. Together with the diced mushrooms, it formed a very sweet rice bowl.
"Try it quickly, this is the braised pork rice from our hometown."
Sun, Wang Er, and the children all gathered around. Su Xiaoxiao took the lead in picking up the spoon handed to her by Liu Qiaomei, scooped up a mouthful of rice covered in braised meat juice and the aroma of rice, and put it into her mouth.
Suddenly, she felt a very sweet and delicious taste erupting in her limbs.
It's really very sweet, not only the aroma of braised pork, but also the aroma of rice. Occasionally, I can eat one or two small diced pork and mushrooms.
Su Xiaoxiao thought the taste was simply unimaginable. I have to say that Liu Qiaomei's craftsmanship was really good.
However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that if some onions were added to this braised pork rice, the taste would not be as boring as it is now.
If you add a braised egg to it, it will be perfect.
Su Xiaoxiao invited Sun and Wang Er to come over and eat together. She also came up with the idea of adding some green vegetables to the braised pork rice, which made it look better.
Su Xiaoxiao made another dish of boiled fish and tofu mixed with spring onions, which was both meat and vegetable. It was paired with the braised pork rice made by Liu Qiaomei. Everyone ate very happily.
On this day, Su Xiaoxiao went to town to deliver jam to the Eight Immortals Tower. Downstairs of the Eight Immortals Tower, she met Qian Musheng.
Qian Musheng had only been gone for a few days, and he felt like he had lost some weight.
"Are you okay? Did Huang Dahu and the others find you later?"
Qian Musheng smiled and said, "I have something to do."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly and concernedly.
"I'm in trouble because I tired myself while rescuing people."
Qian Musheng replied.
"Then you're not, right? Tell me, how do you want me to thank you?"
Su Xiaoxiao knew that Qian Musheng was not serious, but she should express her gratitude. Qian Musheng sincerely helped her with many things.
"Please give me something to eat!"
"OK."
The two of them were downstairs in the Eight Immortals Building. As soon as they talked about eating, Boss Wang quickly ordered people to get ready.
"No, I'll take Qian Mu Sheng out to eat."
With that said, Su Xiaoxiao was ready to go out with others. Qian Musheng felt very happy when he heard this. "Okay, I don't know if there's anything delicious outside."
As a result, Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng went to eat Braised Noodles together in the same restaurant where Su Xiaoxiao and Sanlang ate together last time.
Unexpectedly, Qian Musheng had also eaten here before. Qian Musheng was really a foodie. The delicious shops in the streets and alleys of this town, whether they were expensive or ordinary street food, None of them could escape Qian Musheng's eyes.
After the two of them sat down and were eating noodles, a small stool suddenly came over.
"Something happened in the Eight Immortals Tower. Shopkeeper Wang asked you to go back immediately."
When Qian Musheng heard this, he did not dare to delay. Su Xiaoxiao also anxiously took a few bites of noodles and followed Qian Musheng back to the Eight Immortals Tower.
What happened was that a big man who returned to the countryside from the capital to worship his ancestors took his mother to eat at the Eight Immortals Restaurant. They found that the food at the Eight Immortals Restaurant didn't taste right, and it was different from what they had eaten in the capital.
They had eaten here at Baxianlou several times before, so they would be unhappy if they remembered that the taste of these dishes had changed.
Qian Musheng saw that the leader of the trouble was indeed a rich man just by the look of his clothes. He said that his mother had eaten Sixi Meatballs from Baxianlou and found that the taste of the food had changed. He felt that this was a lie to them.
Qian Musheng saw the broken plates here and guessed it was this rich middle-aged man who was causing trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao's heart also tightened, and she carefully observed the situation in the Eight Immortals Tower.
At this time, Shopkeeper Wang of the Eight Immortals Tower was standing in the box with his hands hanging down, not daring to take a breath.
It was obvious that he also knew that he did not dare to offend this guest, so now he had no choice but to wait for Qian Musheng to come back and deal with it.
The middle-aged man shouted: "I have been eating Sixi Meatballs at your Baxianlou for many years. My mother comes here to eat every year for her birthday. Why has the taste changed now?"
"Is it possible that your business at the Eight Immortals Building has improved now, so you started to cut corners and fool your customers?"
Qian Musheng smiled and said, "No, it's because we changed the seasoning."
The middle-aged man laughed after hearing this.
"Haha... So you are admitting that you cut corners? Then I will tell you outside. I will tell everyone when I go out that in order to save money, your Baxianlou replaced the soy sauce with cheaper ones."
"You can't say that, guest..."
Qian Musheng still wanted to explain, but Su Xiaoxiao came over. She picked up the Sixi meatballs that were not stained with soil and put them into a small plate. He walked up to the middle-aged man and said: "Guest, these are the Sixi meatballs we made with the newly developed soy sauce, but the color is not as dark as before, and now the color is brighter. By the way, guest, have you tried it? No?"
The middle-aged man was stunned when asked, and he shook his head in a daze.
"No……"
"That's it. After Su Xiaoxiao used a pair of clean chopsticks to separate the Sixi meatballs from the middle, a very fragrant smell wafted out from the Sixi meatballs.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but swallow at this time.
"this……"
It can be seen that he probably came here to show off his power and cause trouble for the Eight Immortals Tower.
"Who are you? You want me to pick it up from the ground and eat it?"
Su Xiaoxiao was not angry, and explained to him very calmly: "I think your mother is very old. If you use traditional soy sauce to eat this dish, it will taste too salty and it will not be good for her health." . Moreover, our Sixi Meatballs are carefully prepared with new soy sauce and are rich in protein. The elderly have the effect of prolonging their lives.”
To be honest, these Sixi meatballs look bright in color, and they smell delicious just by smelling them.
At this time, the man's mother who was standing by seemed to have a clear sense of justice and came over to reprimand the middle-aged man.
