Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

Chen Xueru agreed with what Uncle Wang said and nodded. She smiled and said:

"I never thought that this young boss's craftsmanship is so good!"

"I've never heard of such a person in the capital before. Old man, you have a very good eye!"

Uncle Wang was also admiring the plate of braised pork trotters in front of him. He always felt that the taste of this pork trotter was a little different from those in other places.

After tasting it carefully, he continued:

"Not only does this pig's trotter taste better than the ones made by other chefs, but even the cooking method is probably very different."

After hearing what Uncle Wang said, Chen Xueru was a little confused. She asked in an unclean voice:

"Isn't this how braised pork trotters are made? Is there anything else you can add?"

Uncle Wang nodded and said:

"Of course, the general method of making braised pig's trotters is to fry the sugar color first, then add the seasoning and water, and the braised pig's trotters are ready."

"But this guy's braised pork trotters always make me feel that he added some of his own recipes. Otherwise, how come it tastes so much better than other places?"

"But after tasting it for a long time, I still couldn't tell what was added to his braised pork trotters."

Chen Huizhen looked at his puzzled expression, smiled, waved her hand and said:

"Isn't it easy for the old man to know what he added? Can't he just ask the boss directly?"

When Uncle Wang heard what Chen Xueru said, he just shook his head:

"They usually keep this kind of formula to themselves. If they really tell us directly, how can they open their doors for business?"

Chen Xueru disagreed. She said:

"If other chefs come to ask the boss how to make braised pork trotters, it's normal for the boss to say nothing, but we are just ordinary diners, and we are not competing with him for business."

"I don't think this boss is someone who would hide anything."

When she said this, Chen Xueru also smiled and turned her gaze to Zhang Liang. She asked:

"Boss, your braised pork trotters are different from those in other restaurants. They taste better than those in other restaurants. Did you add any extra seasoning?"

Just as Chen Xueru said, Zhang Liang had no intention of hiding his recipe.

After hearing Chen Xueru's words and seeing the expectant look on Uncle Wang's face, Zhang Liang also smiled and said:

"My braised pork trotters are made the same way as other restaurants, except that I add a bottle of beer in the process."

"It makes the taste of the pig's trotter more fragrant."

The system gave him several recipes for braised pork trotters, but the one that ranked first in terms of taste must be the braised pork trotters with beer.

Most chefs would only think about adding some beer to cook duck meat, but never thought about how to use the beer to cook pig's trotters.

That's why Uncle Wang and Chen Xueru were so surprised when they tasted his braised pork trotters.

When Uncle Wang heard Zhang Liang's answer, he suddenly realized and said:

"I see. No wonder I always feel that the taste of braised pork trotters is more mellow."

"The pig's trotters you usually eat in restaurants will inevitably have a slight fishy smell, no matter how well the chef prepares them."

"Now with this beer, I can't taste the fishy smell of the pig's trotters at all. I can only taste the soft and sticky texture. You are so smart, young man!"

Hearing Uncle Wang's heartfelt praise, Zhang Liang also smiled:

"I learned this recipe before, just eat it if you like it."

After saying that, Zhang Liang continued to fry the dishes in the iron pan. There were many customers who had ordered dishes today, so he had to fry all the dishes before noon.

Otherwise, when it’s lunchtime, he won’t have time to entertain the guests who come one after another.

Uncle Wang and Chen Xueru also started eating the braised pork trotters in front of them.

The two of them were so engrossed in eating that they had no time to talk to each other.

All I could hear was two people sighing from time to time:

"It's delicious, so delicious. This pig's trotter is the best I've ever eaten since I was a child!"

"I used to only eat a few pieces of this kind of pig's trotters because I was afraid of getting fat."

"I can't stop eating this plate of braised pork trotters. Look, I've almost finished my rice!"

Uncle Wang nodded when he heard Chen Xueru's words:

"Yes, this braised pork trotter is so soft and tender, and with the soybeans, it's so delicious!"

“As expected of this stall that I came here to wait for early in the morning, it tastes as good as always!”

The two of them finished the plate of braised pork trotters in front of them in no time.

Chen Xueru looked at the empty plate in front of her, and the hunger and irritability she had just felt were swept away at this moment.

The two of them were still not satisfied after eating, and were still waiting for the next dish to be served. Chen Xueru also touched her stomach and said:

"Grandpa, we both finished a plate of braised pork trotters, but I'm still not full!"

"Eating with you makes me gain two pounds a day! You are really good at finding a good cook!"

Uncle Wang looked at her and said cheerfully:

"It's enough to eat delicious food, why care about a pound or two of meat?"

"If you ask me, people can't live without delicious food. As long as I can eat such delicious food every day, I will be happy."

Chen Xueru glanced at him and said unhappily:

"Old man, you don't care about your figure, but I can't. I run a silk shop. If I don't have a good figure to wear clothes, how can those customers come to buy them?"

Uncle Wang heard her words and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, then I will eat the rest of the dishes."

When Chen Xueru heard this, she was not happy:

"That won't do. I finally came across such a delicious stall. I must eat more. Only then can I feel at ease."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Zhang Liang came over with a plate of sour fish soup:

"This is the sour soup fish for you two. I treated Uncle Wang to this dish. Please try it with you and tell me if there is any improvement to this dish."

Chen Xueru heard Zhang Liang's words and looked at Uncle Wang with a smile:

"Old man, it seems I can still take advantage of you and get a free dish!"

"This sour fish soup looks delicious. There is so much chili in it. I am drooling just by smelling it."

Zhang Liang heard Chen Xueru's words and said with a smile:

"This sour fish soup is also our unique recipe. As long as you two are happy eating it, I will be happy to cook it too."

"Enjoy your meal, I'm going to cook."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the iron wok and started frying other dishes.

Chen Xueru and Uncle Wang couldn't help but light up their eyes when they looked at the sour soup fish in front of them.

Chen Xueru quickly smelled the aroma of the sour soup fish.
