Although everyone was curious about Jiang Ping, as the host of the banquet in the new house, Zhang Hao's family still occupied the center of the topic.
"Hao 'zi, the new house has been renovated. The wedding is about to happen, right?”
When it came to marriage, Zhang Hao didn't have a big reaction.
Although he had a girlfriend who had been together for almost five years, their relationship had not reached the stage of marriage.
They had gone back to their hometown for a banquet this time and asked their girlfriend if she wanted to come back together. From the fact that her girlfriend refused to work overtime on National Day, it seemed that they were still far from getting married.
"There's no rush to get married. Now is the time to be busy with work.”
Zhang Hao's mother replied.
From her attitude, it was obvious that she was not satisfied with this daughter-in-law. She did not even want to talk about it and directly changed the topic.
Just as she smelled the fragrance of the braised beef, the topic was changed to the dishes for tomorrow's banquet.
"Speaking of which, the banquets in our hometown are still different from those in Libai Town.”
"The last dish of our village banquet is called the egg soup. It's a sweet soup made with eggs. Once this dish is served, it's equivalent to telling everyone that today's dishes are finished.”
This was the first time Jiang Ping had heard of this custom. The last dish on the menu sent by Teacher Zhang was indeed egg soup.
He didn't expect this egg soup to be called the soup of getting lost.
Jiang Ping kept moving his hands as he asked curiously,"Are there any other customs besides the soup?”
"No, the rest are almost the same.”
"Is the soup made with sweet wine?”
Jiang Ping might know a little about customs, but there was nothing he didn't know about vegetables.
"Yes, boil it with sweet wine and make it into egg soup. It tastes sweet with a little wine fragrance. The egg liquid is very tender and smooth, and it's very delicious.”
In Zhang Hao's memory, this soup was his favorite when he was young.
Even if he was full, he was unwilling to leave. He insisted on waiting until the end to drink a bowl of soup to be satisfied.
Chuanji City was close to the sea, so the seafood here was relatively cheap.
Therefore, other than pork knuckle, there was also chicken, fish, meat, and seafood on the menu.
Even the fish used were pomfrets. Most of the fish used in the banquet at the Jiang manor were carps, carps, and the like.
Jiang Ping also saw abalones, which were used to roast chicken.
This dish was a must-eat in Zhang Hao's hometown.
In this way, the difference between the main dishes of the two regions was quite large.
"The menu for this banquet also has Master Jiang's dishes. Master Jiang's braised beef and pork trotters are so delicious that I still can't forget them.”
Zhang Liang recalled the dishes from the Teacher Appreciation Banquet and couldn't help but miss them.
"Then we must have a good taste tomorrow.”
"Just you wait to swallow your tongue!”
"Hahahaha!"
...
The menu that Zhang laoshi had given them, other than the dishes that were essential for the banquet in their hometown, the rest were all dishes that they had eaten at the Teacher Appreciation Banquet.
For example, braised beef and pork knuckles.
To make the braised beef delicious, the secret ingredient formula was naturally indispensable, but the essence was the long stewing process.
The secret of delicious food lies in the fermentation of time.
Jiang Ping had to start preparing this dish the night before and simmer it over low heat for the entire night.
By the time the next day's banquet began, the braised beef had already been seasoned and cooled. He took it out and sliced it with a sharp knife. He placed it on a plate and it was ready to be served.
After the braised beef was stewed, there was no need to worry about it. Just leave it to time.
Next, he had to deal with the pig knuckle.
He held the heavy pork leg in his hand and rolled it in a red-hot iron pot. The skin was completely charred. He removed the hair and washed it again before he could start cooking.
Otherwise, it would be disgusting if he ate the fur.
Then, he added spices and seasonings to the iron pot and boiled it over a high fire. He stewed it slowly over a low fire to ensure that all the taste was absorbed by every fiber of the pork knuckle and that the taste was completely absorbed.
The pork knuckle was so big that it was not easy to get the taste in.
If it was not done well, the outer layer would be too salty, and the layer of meat near the bones inside would be tasteless.
If it was stewed for a long time, the taste would be absorbed, but the shape would be scattered. The pork knuckle with a damaged shape could not be served on the table. It would ruin the brand.
Everyone smelled the fragrance and waited eagerly for dinner.
The hard dishes were still in the pot, so they could only be eaten tomorrow.
For dinner, Jiang Ping made stir-fried vegetables.
The pig's offal that would not be used at the banquet tomorrow would be used up tonight.
For example, there were more than 30 chickens. Those chicken offal were all taken out separately. At night, Jiang Ping made them into chili stir-fried chicken offal.
He bought more than half of the pig. The pig's blood, intestines, liver, and so on were all made into dishes.
The large table was filled with twenty to thirty dishes. Everyone's eyes were wide open.
Teacher Zhang's brother and sister's families had heard from Teacher Zhang on the phone that he had hired a chef to cook for them. The food was really delicious.
He didn't expect that these words were actually true!
When they saw that the chef was a young man in his early twenties, they were skeptical.
However, as Jiang Ping picked up the kitchen knife and began to process the ingredients, everyone felt that this young man still had something up his sleeves. The kitchen knife was as if he was performing acrobatics, and his knife skills couldn't be mastered without at least ten years of practice.
Then, the dishes were served. As soon as the fragrance wafted out, everyone knew that this chef's culinary skills were also amazing.
However, he didn't know how delicious it was until he smelled the fragrance.
It wasn't until dinner that he was instantly shocked when he tasted the food!
It turned out that those exaggerated descriptions were not exaggerated.
There was actually such a delicious dish in the world!
