Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Okay, go get a plate ready, the twice-cooked pork is almost ready."

As he spoke, Chen Jun put the stir-fried meat slices in a bowl and set them aside. Then he threw the ginger slices into the hot pan and stir-fried them for a few times, then scooped in half a spoonful of Pixian bean paste to stir-fry.

Cooking over high heat, the Pixian bean paste quickly turned into red oil.

At this time, you can pour in the meat slices that have just been stir-fried.

The meat slices were not heated evenly in the pot, causing the outer circle of the meat slices to curl up, but only the middle part was concave, forming a state similar to that of an old lamp.

The appearance of this kind of hole means that the twice-cooked pork is almost done.

Just season it simply and add a little garlic sprouts, and the aroma of the twice-cooked pork will burst out completely, filling half the street with fragrance.

Although it was still a little while before lunch, people on the street couldn't help but feel their stomachs growling when they smelled the fragrance.

And the people standing in front of the stall were drooling with greed.

Chen Jun didn't pay attention to the situation around him. He just fried the garlic sprouts until they were cooked and served them directly.

The more people order dishes, the more efficient Chen Jun can cook. Three plates of twice-cooked pork came out of this pot.

The customers in front of the stall stared at the steaming twice-cooked pork on the plate with the meat slices coated with red oil.

"Wow, this twice-cooked pork is even more delicious than yesterday's mapo tofu."

"Yeah, I think one plate of twice-cooked pork can hold three big steamed buns."

"Hey, I'm so hungry. When will it be my turn?"

"Hey, is this your first time here? You don't know how many people lined up yesterday. Luckily we live close by, so we were able to line up early. Otherwise, we might not even be able to get a meal."

Just as they were talking, Lin Yao came in with two plates of twice-cooked pork.

"Hey, old man, your twice-cooked pork is ready. Try it while it's hot."

"Come, big sister, this plate is yours."

The old man looked at the twice-cooked pork on the table and immediately picked up the chopsticks happily. When Chen Jun was just cooking, he had already nibbled half a steamed bun while savorying it. He was so greedy.

Without even bothering to greet his wife, the old man directly picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

"Um!!!!"

“The lean meat is not dry, the fat meat is not greasy, the texture is springy, and it’s delicious, really delicious!”

The old man ate it with great praise. Before he had even swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth, a new piece was already in his mouth.

While eating, the old man half-closed his eyes and enjoyed it, looking as if he was immersed in it.

If you don’t know, you might think that this old man was hired by Chen Jun.

The older sister sitting at the next table seemed much more professional. She was originally from Sichuan. After just one look at the appearance of the meat slices, she couldn't help but say, "Son, the young boss is not very old, but his cooking skills are really great. I've been in Beijing for two or three years, and this is the first time I've eaten twice-cooked pork with a lantern socket."

"awesome!"

Seeing how highly they spoke of the twice-cooked pork, the guests who were waiting to take the dishes home became even more greedy.

"Boss, turn up the heat and fry it faster. I'm starving."

"Twice-cooked pork, I'll add another serving of twice-cooked pork. Here's the money."

"Hey, hey, hey, little girl, why don't you bring me a steamed bun first? I'm going to eat something to satisfy my hunger because of the smell."

"what?"

Lin Yao was stunned at first; it was the first time she had received such a request.

"Please wait a moment. I'll get you some steamed buns."

Because the meat slices have already been stir-fried, the remaining twice-cooked pork can be cooked quickly.

After a while, several more plates of twice-cooked pork came out of the pot.

The guests who had originally ordered food to eat at home hesitated for a moment and then simply took their bowls to the small table and ate while waiting for the remaining dishes.

You know what, looking at the meat slices covered with red oil in the bowl, no one can resist the temptation.

He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork, and put it into his mouth along with some garlic sprouts.

Ah!

At this moment, they truly understood what Master Liu had said.

The slightly spicy fragrance of garlic sprouts mixed with the mellow aroma of meat slices bursts directly in your mouth.

The chewy texture makes you unable to stop chewing.

Have a mouthful of rice or a big steamed bun; the addition of carbohydrates can add another layer of happiness.

Eat a piece of meat and take a bite of a big steamed bun.

Eat a piece of meat and take two bites of a big steamed bun.

Once these chopsticks start moving, they can't stop.

Seeing that all the guests were eating with their heads down, Lin Yao served them tea with some concern.

"Hey, let's eat slowly and drink some water. There's also spicy cabbage here. Anyone who wants to eat can help themselves. It's free."

But no one present said a word, as if they hadn't heard Lin Yao's reminder.

Even the little old lady who came with the old man was eating the twice-cooked pork without even raising her head.

It’s just that I’m old and my teeth aren’t very good, so it’s a bit difficult for me to chew the meat.

But even so, it didn't stop her from fighting with the old man for food.

"Little girl, give me a bowl of rice. Just put it in this bowl. It will definitely taste good if you mix it."

Some customers have almost finished their twice-cooked pork, so they directly try a new way to eat it: twice-cooked pork with rice!

The rice is mixed with the soup in the bowl, and not a single bit is wasted.

"Ah? Okay, okay." It was the first time that Lin Yao heard of this way of eating, but she still took the bowl and filled it with rice.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but follow suit and went to Lin Yao to add more rice.

I originally thought that the rice would not sell as well as the steamed buns today, but now it seems that the steamed buns and rice may not last until closing time.

That's a good thing, though.

Touching the bag that was getting bigger and bigger, Lin Yao felt both pain and happiness.

"Oh my god, brother, you are such a talent. The rice and vegetable soup mixed together are so delicious."

"Hey, Lao Li, didn't you order the dishes to go home and eat? How come there's not even any soup left? If your wife knew about this, she would punish you to death!"

The customer, Lao Li, slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my, it's so delicious, I couldn't stop the car."

"Boss, I'd like another serving of twice-cooked pork, take it away!"

It was obvious that Mr. Li loved his wife very much. After finishing a portion of twice-cooked pork, he put down his chopsticks obediently.

But everyone around him was busy eating, and the more he looked at them, the more uncomfortable Lao Li felt.

Looking at the half steamed bun left in his hand, Lao Li moved his gaze to the pot of spicy cabbage.

Hey!

How could he forget this? Spicy cabbage is free, he can eat it!

Thinking of this, Lao Li asked Lin Yao for a small plate and served himself some spicy cabbage.

Break the steamed bun in half, put the kimchi inside, and then take a big bite.

"Hiss! This spicy cabbage!"

After taking a bite, Mr. Li actually felt very happy.

This spicy cabbage is not the traditional pickled dish, but is made by mixing chili peppers and some seasonings. It tastes spicy and slightly sweet and is very refreshing.

"Young boss, you are so generous. Such delicious kimchi is free. Awesome!"
