Chapter 7527 Handful of Pork
When Bao Suyun and Mrs. Sun came over to deliver lunch to Mrs. Tan, the old lady lay straight on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the tent in silence.
If they hadn't seen her fingers hanging on the side of the bed move when they came in, they would have suspected that the old lady had gone to the west.
Sun and Bao Suyun looked at each other, cheering each other up with their eyes, and then came to the bedside together with bowls and chopsticks in hand.
"Mom, it's time to eat." Bao Suyun said softly.
Mrs. Sun leaned down and said, "Mom, can I help you up?"
Mrs. Tan's eyelids moved, she turned to look at them, and her eyes fell on the bowl in her hand.
“What’s in the bowl?” she asked.
Sun and Bao Suyun were really surprised to hear that Tan actually paid attention to the food in the bowl.
"Mom, my bowl is white rice, with a piece of fish belly meat on the top of the rice for you, without any thorns, and a rotten piece of sauced pig's trotters." Mrs. Sun said.
"The fifth brother and sister's bowl is a bowl of vegetable and pork liver soup, with some egg skins and dried shrimps in it."
This is Tan's favorite dish, but it's not too spicy.
After all, Mr. Tan has been very angry recently and should not eat food that is too spicy.
Tan asked again: “There is no meat?”
“There is meat?”
Sun and Bao Suyun looked at each other. They had never heard of the dish Pork. What kind of dish was it?
Tan said: "I don't want to eat anything today, I just want to eat a few pieces of meat, like eating lard glutinous rice cakes. Just lying here and thinking about it, it tastes... "
Sun and Bao Suyun secretly exchanged glances. Sun said: "Mom, please eat your lunch first. Can we give you a whole handful of meat here?"
Bao Suyun also said: "Yes, we have to go to the old house to work after lunch. If we don't have time, I will give you a whole handful of meat at night. "
After Sun and Bao Suyun said this, their hearts were hanging, and they stood aside uneasily.
A long time ago, the mother-in-law would have been unhappy and might have scolded them.
They don’t want to make their mother-in-law unhappy, but the actual situation is like this. Not only is it too late at noon, but even if it is late, where can they get raw meat?
Unexpectedly, instead of scolding them, Mrs. Tan sat up and propped herself up on the bed.
"Bring the bowl over, I'll take a few bites first." Tan said.
Sun and Bao Suyun hurriedly followed the instructions. Watching Tan eat the rice in small bites and taste the other dishes in the bowl, the two sisters were secretly happy.
For so many days, my mother has not eaten anything every day, but she finally ate now.
And he also said that you should eat a handful of meat at night. A person is not afraid of not thinking about something, but he is afraid of you not thinking about it.
Having thoughts, pursuits, and desires shows that you are still attached to this world.
If a person has no desires and desires, then life or death will become unimportant. Life without love is the most terrifying thing.
Sun and Bao Suyun returned to the front yard with empty bowls. Everyone was curious when they saw the two of them looking happy.
Mrs. Liu jokingly asked: "Third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, you two are smiling from ear to ear, what do you think? Did my mother secretly give you candy to eat?"
Bao Suyun pursed her lips and smiled.
Sun said: "I am more happy than being given candy to eat!"
"Oh? What is that? Come on, tell me." After Mrs. Liu's loud voice With the publicity, other people eating and drinking also focused their attention here.
Mrs. Sun then told everyone about Mr. Tan's decision to finally get serious about eating at noon.
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. The old lady had been worried about Yang Huamei before and had a heart attack. She should have figured it out now.
"By the way, what is meat?" Sun suddenly asked again.
“A handful of meat?”
Everyone looked at each other, they had never heard of the word pork.
So they habitually turned their questioning eyes to Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er runs a restaurant and knows the names of dishes from all over the world. Qing'er must know what a handful of meat is."
Yang Ruoqing put down the chopsticks in her hand and narrowed her eyes.
“I don’t know if the handful of meat that my mother is thinking about is the same kind of meat as the handful of meat that I know.”
“Qing’er, first tell me what you know What kind of meat is this? ”
Yang Ruoqing nodded, took out her handkerchief and lightly wiped the corners of her lower lips, "It is said that a long time ago, at the end of a certain dynasty, the world was in chaos. Three men cherished each other and decided to worship each other in the peach garden."
"Among them One of them was a butcher. Before they worshiped the butcher, the man stewed large pieces of pork belly in an earthen pot. When the meat was finished, the meat was also stewed. The three of them ate the meat and drank wine. From then on, they became brothers and fought their way through the world in troubled times."
"The names of these three people will remain in history, and the meat will be passed down with them."
"Ah, so to speak. Come on, what you are eating is not meat, it is loyalty and sincerity!" Yang Huaming drank a few cups of wine, and some emotions in his body were touched, and he even pulled out a line of lyrics on the stage.
But no one refuted his words.
"Qing'er, do you have some meat in your restaurant? How is it cooked? Is it delicious?"
Someone asked while swallowing saliva, no need to guess, anyone who can do this, except Mr. Liu No one else.
“We have restaurants in Qing’an County, but the restaurant below used to have them, but not now.”
“Why? Don’t people here like to eat meat?”< br>
“There are some that I like, but the proportion is small and it’s not profitable, so that dish was taken off the menu.”
Yang Ruoqing said bluntly, there was nothing to hide.
When you open a restaurant, which dishes are popular and favored by customers, and which ones are unpopular, the restaurant has dedicated people to track and record these things, and then make appropriate business adjustments from the data.
Yang Ruoqing was also a foodie in her previous life. What is the most annoying thing about eating in restaurants?
The name of the dish is obviously written in black and white on the menu, but when you order it, I tell you: No!
Or: I’m not doing it anymore!
Since it doesn't exist, why don't you check it off?
Is it that difficult to reprint a new menu?
Why are dishes that cannot be cooked put on the menu for customers to choose? Isn't it deliberately deceiving customers by making it so colorful?
So, at Tianxianglou, as long as you dare to order any dish that appears on the menu, you must have it!
Because the market for the meat was not very broad and the cost was taken into consideration, the meat was removed.
"Qing'er, your grandma is worried about the meat. We don't know how to cook it, so how about you?" This question was asked by Mrs. Sun.
Considering that her daughter was pregnant with Liujia, it would definitely be inconvenient to cook on a hot day. Mrs. Sun added, "If you know how to cook, tell me the method and I will cook."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "The method is actually very simple. Yes, just take a piece of pork belly and put it in an earthen pot, simmer it in thick oily red sauce, it will be fat but not greasy, the color will be bright, and the soup will be mellow, just cover it with the rice and it’s done.”
