Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Chapter 20 This dish can be compared with Dongxinglou

Um? ?

Hearing Lao Li's call, the neighbors who were waiting to get their food couldn't help but turn their eyes to the pot of spicy cabbage.

I was so busy watching Chen Jun cooking that I ignored this side dish.

Generally, stalls selling stir-fried dishes will not provide tea or side dishes, and some restaurants do not even provide free side dishes.

After Lao Li's reminder, some people started looking for small plates.

The kimchi looks bright red, but it tastes spicy and sweet, and has a crisp texture. Even if you can't eat spicy food, you can still enjoy it.

"Hey, such a delicious side dish, why didn't you say anything, boss? Quick, give me a bowl of rice, I'll mix it with the spicy cabbage first."

Lin Yao said aggrievedly, "I just said that tea and side dishes are free."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The man who was speaking saw that Lin Yao was feeling aggrieved, so he quickly comforted her with a few words, and only then did he have the nerve to take the rice.

Seeing this, the people around also gathered around.

After eating it, I couldn’t help but sigh at the generosity of the boss. This kimchi can be sold separately.

It only costs 20 cents per piece, and there will definitely be people who want it.

It’s a pity that there was only a small pot of kimchi, and after several rounds of cooking, only some soup was left in the pot.

And those guests who finished eating the kimchi felt even hungrier.

"Little boss, is our twice-cooked pork ready?"

"Right away." Chen Jun was busy juggling two pots.

Although several portions are fried in one pot, the taste is not affected at all.

After a while, the neighbors who came to order food received their portion of twice-cooked pork.

You know what, cooking one dish alone is very efficient. By using two woks at the same time, you can cook seven or eight servings at a time.

No matter how fast it is, it should not affect the cooking of other dishes.

So after frying the twice-cooked pork that was ordered, Chen Jun started preparing the next dish.

This dish is stir-fried liver and kidneys, and is more difficult to prepare than twice-cooked pork.

For example, twice-cooked pork can be stir-fried for several portions at a time, but stir-frying liver and kidney requires a higher heat, so only two portions can be stir-fried at a time.

After cleaning the wok, Chen Jun added an appropriate amount of oil into the wok.

While the pot was heating up, Chen Jun took out the prepared pork liver and pork kidneys.

These two ingredients have already been prepared at home: the pork liver is cut into pieces and the pork kidneys are de-fried.

When the oil temperature rose, Chen Jun threw the ingredients on the plate into the pot and quickly stir-fried them a few times.

"呲~~"

The moment the pork kidneys and liver were put into the pot, a white mist rose from the pot. Chen Jun quickly stir-fried it two or three times to make sure that each piece of food was covered with lard, and then poured in the prepared green onions and pickled peppers.

This dish has very high requirements on the heat. If it is fried too short, it will not be cooked through, and if it is fried too long, it will become overcooked.

So Chen Jun stir-fried it for a few seconds, and when he saw the color of the pork liver began to change, he threw in the prepared green onions.

Soon, two portions of liver and kidney were fried together and served. The whole process took only a dozen seconds.

The customers gathered in front of the stall hadn't even had enough to enjoy the food when the dishes were ready.

Seeing this, some food connoisseurs directly asked Lin Yao to order more dishes, such as stir-fried liver and kidney.

This dish cannot be cooked to its essence in ordinary restaurants, but I didn’t expect to find it in this stall.

"Hey, old man, your fried liver and kidney are ready." Chen Jun personally brought the dish over.

After observing for a while, Chen Jun found that the old man surnamed Liu was very unusual. Neighbors who came here to order food would greet him when they saw him.

"Hahaha, you came just in time. We just finished eating the twice-cooked pork. It's good, very good!"

The little old lady next to him also nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes became much kinder when she looked at Chen Jun.

After eating the dishes made by Chen Jun, the old lady finally understood why the old man was in such a hurry to grab a seat.

That's really delicious!

It is said that old people have poor appetite, but today they both ate a portion of twice-cooked pork and didn’t feel full at all.

Fortunately, the old man directly ordered three dishes, so he will definitely go home full.

Just as the little old lady was sighing about finding a treasure today, the big brother at the next table had already started eating the fried liver and kidneys.

"Wow, little boss, your stir-fried liver and kidney is simply amazing, crispy, tender, smooth and fragrant!"

When the old man heard this, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork kidney.

He didn't rush to put it in his mouth, but looked around and couldn't help but praise: "Young boss, you have practiced knife skills for many years. The thickness of the pork loin and liver is just right and delicious."

"You have to know that the liver cooks quickly, while the kidneys cook slowly. If you want to fry them together, the thickness must be appropriate."

"Look at the color. You have a good grasp of the heat. You managed to fry it just right while keeping it crispy and tender. That's great."

"Just eat, why are you suffering from your old illness again?" The little old lady at the side couldn't help but mutter, and then without waiting for the old man, she tasted it first.

Seeing this, the old man quickly put the pork kidney on the chopsticks into his mouth.

After tasting it carefully, he gave Chen Jun a thumbs up!

The taste is smooth, tender and crispy, and the heat is very precise. Even one more second will not produce this effect.

The seasoning is not heavy, it’s more about the taste of the ingredients themselves.

The fishy smell of the internal organs was also handled very well and you can't taste it at all.

"Hey, boss, you priced this dish too low. Even if you set it at 70 or 80 cents, there would still be people lining up to buy it."

After saying that, he waved to Lin Yao again and asked for a bowl of rice.

He finally ate to his heart's content today, and after this meal he might not be hungry in the evening.

Old Li, who was chewing a steamed bun nearby, couldn't help but say, "Master Liu, if I didn't know you, I would have thought you were hired by the young boss."

"When you go out to eat, who would complain that the boss's prices are too low?"

Master Liu was not angry when he heard this. He pointed at the stir-fried liver and kidney on the table with his chopsticks and said with a smile, "The quality of this stir-fried liver and kidney is not inferior to that of Chef Fan from Dongxinglou."

"And if you want to eat Chef Fan's stir-fried liver and kidney at Dongxinglou, it will cost at least $1.20."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Lao Li, but even the people around him all looked over here.

Dongxing Building is the first of the eight big buildings in Beijing. Needless to say, its quality is excellent.

Grandpa Liu actually said that the boss’s skill in stir-frying liver and kidney is not inferior to Chef Fan from Dongxinglou.

If this word gets out, it will probably cause a stir in many restaurants.

"Master Liu, is it really that delicious?"

The old man smiled slightly: "As an old man, can I still fool you?"

Everyone then realized what Mr. Liu's identity was.

Is it worth fooling them?

So many people turned to look at Lin Yao and shouted in unison: "Hey, give me one too!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

All of a sudden, more than a dozen more portions of stir-fried liver and kidney appeared, and the scene became extremely lively. Some people who were strolling on the street heard the noise and came over here.

Those who don’t know may think there is something exciting to watch here.
