Chapter 254 Dongpo Meat
"Dongpo pork." Yun Tao said.
"It's 'Dongpo Pork', I know the allusion of this dish."
Wang Xue said happily, finally knowing the origin of a dish name. It's really not easy. How can Wang Xue be unhappy?
"Haha, you're hungry." Yun Tao asked Wang Xue.
"Um."
Wang Xue replied a little blushed. After all, when Yun Tao cooked the above dishes just now, his stomach was "gurgling" several times.
"Haha, I'm making more of this 'Dongpo pork' now. Let's eat some in the kitchen first. How about it?" Yun Tao asked Wang Xue with a smile.
"Well, Brother Tao, you are so nice."
Wang Xue was happy, smelling the fragrant dishes made by her man, and watching the table outside eating voraciously, Wang Xue's greed had long been seduced, and she had not eaten until noon, so it would be strange if she was not hungry.
Soon Yuntao prepared this "Dongpo pork", poured it on a plate and served it, Yuntao put the remaining "Dongpo pork" into a rice bowl.
"Xiaoxue, give it."
After Yun Tao handed the bowl of "Dongpo pork" to Wang Xue, he started to be busy again. After all, he has only prepared five dishes and is still far from the eighteen dishes.
"Brother Tao, you eat too."
Wang Xue took Yun Tao and handed over the bowl containing the "Dongpo pork", used the chopsticks just now, picked up a piece of "Dongpo pork" and put it in her mouth to cool it, and then picked it up to Yun Tao's mouth, so that Yun Tao could eat it. Wang Xue is a very considerate woman. She doesn't want to eat it first, but her own man will eat it first.
"Um."
Yun Tao himself ate the "Dongpo pork" that Wang Xue had been put into his mouth, and sometimes it was very happy to serve women like this.
"Um. You can eat too."
Yun Tao chewed the meat in his mouth for a few times, and saw Wang Xue watching him eat stupidly, and said to Wang Xue.
"Um."
Wang Xue blew it in her mouth, then put it in her mouth and took a bite.
"Um."
Wang Xue's eyes widened, it was so delicious. Wang Xue only felt that the meat was mellow and thick, crispy but not broken, fragrant but not greasy, and tasted extremely beautiful.
"Brother Tao, the 'Dongpo pork' you made is so delicious." Wang Xue said to Yun Tao happily while chewing the "Dongpo pork" in her mouth.
"It's delicious, just eat all the 'Dongpo pork' in the bowl." Yun Tao said.
"I've eaten all of them. What are you eating?" Wang Xue said with some disagreement.
"Haha, I'm not hungry, I'm a chef. Do you think I'm a chef, will I make myself hungry?" Yun Tao said to Wang Xue with a smile.
"Brother Tao, you are so nice." Wang Xue said to Yun Tao excitedly.
"Hehe. Eat quickly." Yun Tao said gently.
Wang Xue picked up the chopsticks and ate the "Dongpo pork" voraciously. The "Dongpo pork" made by her man was really delicious. When Wang Xue was in college, she ate "Dongpo pork" near the school, and the taste was far worse than what her man made.
"Eat slowly and be careful to choke."
Yun Tao saw Wang Xue's voracious eating, so he said gently, after all, eating is so urgent, it is easy to choke, let alone eating large pieces of meat, which is easier to choke.
"Well, the 'Dongpo pork' you made is so delicious." Wang Xue said vaguely with the meat in her mouth.
"Haha, if you like it, I will make it for you in the future."
Yun Tao said that his women like to eat the dishes they cook. This makes Yun Tao feel very accomplished. Not all men have the ability to conquer a woman's heart and still conquer the woman's stomach.
"Um."
Wang Xue happily responded that Wang Xue felt that he was able to eat the food made by her men often.
Soon after Wang Xue finished eating a small bowl of "Dongpo pork", this thing was very full. After drinking such a small bowl, Wang Xue felt that she was not very hungry.
Wang Xue quickly picked up the "Dongpo Pork" and walked out of the kitchen. After all, the people in the house were even better than him. Put down a dish, and in a short while, there would be no left. Now there is probably no food outside.
"Haha, Xiaoxue, it's good that you brought the food here, otherwise we would have no food." Xu Yuan said happily when he saw Wang Xue bringing the food here.
Wang Xue looked at the table and said, "Not to mention that there were no dishes except empty bowls on the entire table. It was really clean after eating it. If it weren't for some oil stains on the plate, Wang Xue would have thought these plates had just been washed."
"Xiaoxue, what kind of dish is this?" Yun Changhong asked.
"Dongpo pork."
Wang Xue said after putting the dishes on the table.
"Dongpo pork, I know this. I have eaten it several times in the hotel before, and it tastes good." Wu Quan said.
"The tastes good in the hotel. The tastes made by our Ergou are definitely much better than those chefs in the hotel." Yun Changde said. Yun Changde had also eaten this "Dongpo pork" several times outside.
"What's the story about this dish?"
Yun Changda asked, for Yun Changda, who didn't know the big words and had never been to a big hotel to eat, let alone seeing this "Dongpo Pork", he had never even heard of it. For Yun Changda, this was a braised pork dish.
"This 'Dongpo pork', also known as "rebate meat", was a braised pork created by Su Shi, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty."
"It is said that in the first year of Emperor Zhezong of Song Dynasty, Su Shi came to the current governor of Tiannan City. In May and June that year, heavy rain continued to stop in western Zhejiang, Taihu Lake flooded, and large crops were flooded. Because Su Shi took effective measures early, the people in western Zhejiang had survived the most difficult period."
"He organized migrant workers to dredge the West Lake, build dikes and bridges, and make the old appearance of the West Lake look new. The people of Tiannan City are very grateful to Su Shi for this good thing. Everyone praised him as a wise parent and official."
"I heard that he likes to eat pork when he was working in other places, so during the Chinese New Year, everyone carried pigs and wine to greet him."
"After receiving it, Su Shi instructed his family to cut the meat into cubes, cook it red and crispy, and then distributed it to the migrant workers who participated in the dredging of the West Lake. After eating, everyone was surprised and called the meat he sent affectionately "Dongpo Pork", which is the origin of "Dongpo Pork".
"This 'Dongpo Pork' and 'Rock Sugar Turtle' are both famous dishes in southern Zhejiang Province. Our Zhejiang cuisine is also one of the eight major cuisines in China." said village secretary Wu Quan.
"I didn't expect that our Zhejiang cuisine has such delicious and famous dishes. In the past, when I went to a hotel for dinner, everyone only knew how to order Cantonese cuisine. Sichuan cuisine came from, and I really rarely knew our Zhejiang cuisine." Yun Changde said.
"This is mainly because there is too much publicity for Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, and there are many dishes in Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, which covers up other dishes. Everyone has heard of this 'Dongpo Pork', and no one has heard of the famous dish 'rock sugar turtle' just now." Wu Quan said.
"Wang Xue, do you ask Ergou to make more Zhejiang cuisine? Is the dishes we save most suitable for the tastes of those of us?" Yun Changde said to Wang Xue.
"OK."
After Wang Xue said that, she went to the kitchen again. Wang Xue still liked to watch her man cook, and felt that watching her man cook silently was also a psychological enjoyment.
"Haha, sorry I'm late."
Li Meili walked into the house and saw that everyone was already walking by the table and eating, she said, "There is no way to come in by yourself." These people didn't pay attention to themselves. If they refused to say anything, they would not be treated as air."
"Oh, beauty is here, sit quickly, sit quickly, it's not that you're late, it's because we've had early meals."
When Wang Mei heard Li Mei's voice, she quickly stood up and pulled Li Meili to sit beside her. After all, she was a "landlord" and had no time to wait for the guests to arrive, so she asked someone to go to the table and have a drink. No matter how she said that she was in the wrong.
"Aunt, you're so polite."
Li Meili said to Wang Mei, and after that, she sat down next to Wang Mei.
"Beautiful, sorry, we have eaten all this dish and can only wait for the next dish to serve."
Wang Mei said a little embarrassedly that the dishes her son cooked were so delicious. Everyone snatched them all as soon as they were served, and there was no trace left.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry now."
Li Meili said, looking at the five empty plates on the table.
Oh my God!
These people are eating too exaggeratedly, and they don’t even leave some scum for themselves. It’s really great, but I’m not late at all. It’s still a few minutes away at six o’clock, and my stomach is still hungry now.
Fortunately, Wang Xue quickly brought out the next dish.
"Xiaoxue, what kind of dish is this?" Yun Changde asked looking at the beautiful dish.
"Longjing shrimps are also Zhejiang cuisine." Wang Xue said.
"Haha, this dish should have a story," Xu Yuan asked.
"Of course, it is said that one day, Qianlong visited a private visit and drank a cup of Longjing new tea at the Tiannan Tea farmer's house. He felt the fragrance and delicious. He secretly grabbed some tea leaves while the person was unprepared."
"Later, I had a meal at a restaurant in the city and asked the shopkeeper to make tea with it. The shopkeeper saw a corner of the dragon robe inside Qianlong, and hurriedly told the shopkeeper that the shopkeeper was cooking shrimps, and panic, so he sprinkled the tea leaves in the shopkeeper's hand into the pot as chopped green onions."
"I didn't expect that this tea and shrimp are elegant in color and unique in taste. Qianlong nodded and praised it. Since then, this dish has become a famous dish in Tiannan City and has spread to the emperor."
"Haha, this 'Longjing shrimp' is a dish that Emperor Qianlong had eaten. Then I want to try it and see if Emperor Qianlong tastes the same as that of us ordinary people."
After Yun Changhong finished speaking, he quickly picked up several prawns with chopsticks and put them into his bowl. There was no way to have only a few prawns in the bowl. If he didn't start early, he wouldn't have his own share. Anyway, "It's better to start first, but then he will suffer."
"Damn, Changhong, you are so cool. You've picked up four prawns for you in one go."
