Chapter 275 Roast Suckling Pig
During the summer wheat harvest, there were not enough manpower at that time, so Gu Taohua and others had to go home to harvest.
Now that I have hired people in the village, I don’t need Gu Taohua and the others to participate in the autumn harvest.
After all, the store business is more important.
Tong Huaqiong searched in Tong Dajiao’s memory and found out that there will be continuous sunny days during this autumn harvest season.
This way Tong Huaqiong doesn't have to worry about harvesting corn overnight.
Gu Dahan is in charge of the work in the fields. Tong Huaqiong doesn't have to worry. She can take time to go to Ningcheng, the capital city.
Peach Blossom Dessert is going out of Yanguan Town, and its target is Pingchuan County and Fucheng.
Tong Huaqiong doesn’t need to worry here in Pingchuan County.
To put it utilitarianally, Tong Huaqiong and the county magistrate’s wife are now best friends,
No one dared to cause trouble in the shops in Pingchuan County, not even Xu Zaohua who hated Tong Huaqiong so much.
Ningcheng is different.
In such a big Fucheng, who knows what kind of people there are, Tong Huaqiong now has a dark eye on Fucheng.
He Chao took Gu Dashu to buy the shop in Fucheng.
Tong Huaqiong believes in He Chao, but for her own shop, Tong Huaqiong still wants to see it in person before she feels relieved.
She was just planning to go to Fucheng when she saw Boss Qian coming to Qinghe Bay again with a smile on his face.
Boss Qian’s house and He Chao’s house have newly dug foundations, so it is estimated that they will not be built until winter.
He comes to Qinghe Bay from time to time these days in the name of supervisor. Of course, he will inevitably meet Tong Huaqiong when he arrives at Qinghe Bay.
After all, we are all neighbors from now on, and Tong Huaqiong can't pretend not to see her even if she wants to close her eyes.
“Shopkeeper Tong.” Boss Qian greeted cheerfully.
"Boss Qian, I just want to ask you something." Tong Huaqiong said.
Boss Qian was so happy that he was dizzy after hearing this.
Tong Huaqiong asked: "How did you like the pork I gave you a few days ago?"
"It's delicious! Fragrant! Very fragrant! I was just about to tell you. ”
Boss Qian became more and more excited.
Fenglelou, as the first high-end catering brand in Yanguan Town, only has very few pork dishes.
Feng Le Lou’s positioning for users means that pork with sultry temperament is destined to be difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Boss Qian himself hardly eats pork.
So when Tong Huaqiong sent someone to deliver pork to him and told him to try it himself, he was quite embarrassed.
Thinking that Tong Huaqiong gave him a good gift, what else could he choose? Even the pork was so spicy that he had to close his eyes and eat it.
With this in mind, Boss Qian didn't let anyone else do it, and hid in Fengle Building to cook the pork himself.
He originally wanted to cook the pork first to remove the fishy smell, then take it out, cut it into pieces, braise it, and use sauce and aniseed to cover up the smell.
But not long after the pork was placed in the water pot, a rich meaty aroma began to emit.
As the fire burns hotter and hotter, the smell of the pork becomes more and more fragrant.
The scent is so tempting that the gluttons in your stomach are ready to gnaw.
Not only that, it also attracted the attention of the entire kitchen.
Everyone asked what kind of meat this was and why it was so fragrant. When they found out it was pork, they had a look of disbelief on their faces.
Because we have lived so long, we have never smelled such fragrant pork.
After the pork was cooked and fished out, Boss Qian was so greedy that he couldn’t stand it anymore.
I cut it into a piece with one knife, and Boss Qian ate it directly without dipping it into the sauce.
Boss Qian dares to say that this is the most delicious pork he has ever tasted. There is no irritation at all, and there is no peculiar smell without dipping. Before I knew it, I had finished all the pork.
Not satisfied yet, he carried all the pork Tong Huaqiong gave him to the kitchen.
The cooks at Fengle House clicked their tongues around the pork and marveled.
Pork with such good quality cannot be boiled plainly, so he pushed Boss Qian away and rolled up his sleeves to make braised pork, twice-cooked pork, and stir-fried shredded pork with green pepper
Boss Qian ate heartily .
"You own a restaurant and you are knowledgeable. You said the pork is delicious, so you can't be wrong." Tong Huaqiong said.
Boss Qian blushed when he received Tong Huaqiong's praise and said: "I came here today just for the pork. When Dahan gave me the meat, he said it was your pig. What did you use to raise it?" The pork has no smell or smell at all, and it tastes good whether it is braised or boiled. Are there any pigs for sale now? I will buy one first."
Although Fenglelou is the best in Yanguan Town. restaurants, but not without competition.
Other restaurants also have their own specialty dishes.
Fengle House has not provided new dishes to diners for a long time. Boss Qian thought that if he launched a series of signature dishes based on pork, wouldn't it be able to further attract diners.
The premise is that the pork has no unpleasant smell and is as delicious as the pork Tong Huaqiong sent.
He knew that Tong Huaqiong’s family raised twenty pigs.
So he came to Qinghewan to ask Tong Huaqiong about buying pigs.
Tong Huaqiong said with a smile: "The remaining pigs will not be ready for slaughter until the end of the year."
"It takes so long."
Boss Qian looked quite regretful. He couldn't wait any longer. After all, the chef at Fengle Building had already started planning a new recipe.
Tong Huaqiong saw what Boss Qian was thinking and said, "Actually, pigs may not be fattened."
Boss Qian's eyes lit up. Tong Huaqiong was planning to sell the pigs to the slaughterhouse in advance. he.
So excited.
Boss Qian rubbed his hands, a little at a loss.
Boss Qian said in surprise: "How's that for you? Don't worry, I will definitely give you more than the market price."
Tong Huaqiong knew that Boss Qian had gone wrong.
Her pigs cannot be put out for sale.
The largest boar being put on the market now has tender meat that beats all the pork on the market, but Tong Huaqiong feels that it would be better if it were raised for two more months.
The remaining pigs must be raised for a full month.
After all, she wants to open a pork shop at the end of the year. The quality of the pork must be unified and the quality of the meat must be the best.
What's more, if she agrees to Boss Qian's request now and Fenglelou comes to ask for a pig from time to time, all her pigs will be given to Fenglelou. How can she let more people know that her pork is good? .
After all, when diners go to Fengle House to eat, they only know that the pork at Fengle House is delicious, but they don’t know whether it is the pigs raised by her, Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong said to Boss Qian calmly: "My twenty pigs can't be sold now. It's not that I don't want to sell them to you, but their meat hasn't grown well enough yet. In fact, Your restaurant doesn’t have to wait until my pigs are released. Have you ever thought about introducing roasted suckling pig?”
Boss Qian said: “Roasted suckling pig?”
It seems that Boss Qian has never heard of this dish.
Also, for the entire Ningcheng area, raising a pig is not easy. Who would bring in a newborn piglet to eat?
That is simply evil!
In addition, the grown-up pigs that have not been castrated are arrogant, and the restaurants and gluttonous diners in Ningcheng area will not want to start thinking about delicacies from the piglets.
Tong Huaqiong explained how to make roast suckling pig.
"Either I work hard to raise this pig until it is fat and the meat is fresh and tender, or I can make roast suckling pig when it is two or three months old," Tong Huaqiong said.
Boss Qian believes in Tong Huaqiong’s words. After all, the recipes for Peach Blossom Dessert’s many and varied dim sums are all figured out by Tong Huaqiong.
Let’s talk about the Dragon Boat Festival meat dumplings and the current Mid-Autumn Festival meat and ham mooncakes. These seemingly inconsistent combinations are extremely delicious, which shows that Tong Huaqiong has some talent in food.
But for the sake of caution, he still asked: "Shopkeeper Tong, how did you figure out the roasted suckling pig?"
