Chapter 141 Braised Pork (1)
Wen Mingtang wanted to continue listening, but Liang Hongjin opened his mouth, trying to explain the intricate relationship between the Goguryeo envoys, but he didn't know where to start.
After several helpless attempts, Liang Hongjin had no choice but to give up, spread his hands and said, "You know, my verbal kung fu is not as good as my fist kung fu. Why don't I call you the monks of Dali Temple to talk to you someday?" You listen."
Wen Mingtang laughed "haha" when he heard the words, said a few "good" repeatedly, and exchanged a few words with Liang Hongjin before returning to Dali Temple.
Compared to Goguryeo envoys, elixir of immortality and so on, preparing the evening meal at Dali Temple today is what she should do.
The meat food sent by the village today is pork. One layer of fat and one layer thick, the color of pork meat is quite beautiful.
Although Chaoshi’s small crepe wontons are delicious and popular, the little bouncy pork meat is not enough to fit between the teeth. Right now, the amount of pork meat sent by the farmer is enough, so Wen Mingtang naturally stopped being stingy with pork meat after eating this evening meal, and was going to cook an old dish - braised pork.
The cooking method of braised pork is similar, but the details of this old dish are really good. Wen Mingtang found a large black iron net from Lin Fei's "room" where Baibao was stored.
Every time I go to Lin Fei's house, Wen Mingtang can't help feeling: Lin Fei really has a lot of good things to use here.
Put the skin of the pork meat down on the iron net, and roast it on the stove. When the pork skin is slightly rolled up, it is immediately moved to the side, and then gently scraped with a knife to remove all the hair on the surface of the pork skin. .
"It turns out that it can be done with a little fire!" Looking at the smooth and hairless pork meat, A Bing couldn't help but said, thinking of the errand he was assigned when making braised pork at home, he made a bitter face. Why do you use one by one to pluck the hairs first?"
It doesn't matter if you are tired, the key is that you can't pull it out cleanly. After cooking, looking at the unplucked hair on the surface of the pork meat is really disgusting and hard to swallow.
Tangyuan burst into laughter when he heard that, and seeing Wen Mingtang put the pork belly cut into squares into the pot, he said with a smile, "So, I still have to ask Master Wen, Master Wen always has a convenient solution."
Put pork belly meat into the pot, pour in wine, green onion and sliced ginger, when the water boils and pick it up, I see Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu walking to the public kitchen with their faces pulled.
Seeing these two people coming, Tang Yuan subconsciously looked at the sky outside, and then reminded them: "Liu Sicheng, Bai Sicheng, it's too early to eat evening food!"
The pork belly pork has only been blanched once, and this person is here?
Liu Yuan sighed: "Why don't you relieve your worries? Only Master Wen's delicacies are delicious."
Wen Mingtang glanced at the streaky pork meat that was fished out, and said frankly: "It's still a long way from a delicious delicacy. The meat dish I ate today is braised pork. This is a kung fu dish!"
As he spoke, he poured some oil into the pan and began to fry the meat.
The sound of frying meat rang in my ears, but it was not noisy at all. The smell of oil and meat coming from the pot gave people a strange sense of tranquility!
Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought I could spend ten days and a half months reading the scriptures every day and eating delicious food from Master Wen! Unexpectedly, after only a few days, things happened again! "
Tang Yuan, who was listening to the sighing sound, was a little surprised. The last time she "personally" participated in the Huapi case was only a few days ago, and it was unexpected that there would be a new case in Dali Temple so soon. only…
Liu Yuan glanced at her, and said: "There is no case. Bo people came all the way, and everyone is good at things!"
After the imperial decree came down, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu naturally went out to inquire immediately. After inquiring, they found out the deeds of this wave of Goguryeo envoys, and began to worry.
"When you come to someone else's house to be a guest, if you have something to deal with, don't you just go home and make trouble?" Liu Yuan said with a bitter face, "What's the trouble at someone's house?"
"It's because there will be troubles at home. It's not... leaving home and having no restraint, it's completely rioting!" Bai Zhu's face was not much better, presumably because he also understood the glorious deeds of these Goguryeo envoys Clear.
Right now, along with the imperial decree, there is another important matter.
"The tribute they sent from Goguryeo - the elixir of immortality is gone, and Liu Yuan and I are required to find the elixir!" Bai Zhu helped his forehead helplessly.
Wen Mingtang, who was frying meat, couldn't help raising his head when he heard this, and asked the two of them, "Then Your Majesty really wants to eat the elixir?"
"I don't want to." Liu Yuan who was on the side interjected, "Your Majesty is not the late emperor. He has great ambitions and is accompanied by a beautiful woman like the empress. He naturally wants to die and leave his name in history. Why would he want to go to see the late emperor in advance?" Go? Didn’t he die before leaving the school?”
"Your Majesty doesn't care about this!" Bai Zhu continued, "Anyone with a clear mind will not chew on that fist-sized thing that is called an elixir. The problem is that the group of people in Goguryeo must find the national treasure they sent. Said it represented the friendship between the two countries."
It has all risen to the level of friendship between the two countries. Even if His Majesty doesn't care, this elixir must be found.
"Your Majesty cleared the imperial court long ago after he ascended the throne. Those who wanted to eat elixir like the late emperor have already gone down to serve the late emperor." Liu Yuan clicked his lips, and really didn't want to waste time looking for these useless things, " Now inside and outside the court, the rest are avoiding such things. Who would want to steal something of unknown origin? I’m not afraid of eating people up.”
"Let me see, most of them stole it!" Liu Yuan said here, seeing Wen Mingtang pick up the fried pork meat and pour sugar in it, he asked casually, "What is Master Wen doing?"
The sugar in the pot met the oil and was fried into a burnt yellow liquid. Wen Mingtang stared at the melted sugar in the pot and said, "Fry it to the color of sugar." Then, he poured the pork into it and started to stir fry it.
"It turns out that cooking is so particular." Watching Wen Mingtang pour the stir-fried pork meat with sauce, salt, sugar and various spices into a large casserole and add water, Liu Yuan couldn't help feeling emotional.
"It's the same for everything, so it's the same for cooking!" Wen Mingtang said, and covered the casserole. This braised pork is a kung fu dish, and the rest is waiting.
Today's vegetable salad with shredded lettuce is a simple one, so there is no need to prepare it early. Wen Mingtang, A Bing and Tangyuan took a break for a while, sitting behind the counter and chatting with Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu.
"Since they are all idle, why don't others pick them up?" A figure flashed in Wen Mingtang's mind, "I see that Lin Shaoqing is a crime addict, and he is so idle that he doesn't interfere?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu looked at each other, and a subtle look appeared on their faces. After a little cough, Liu Yuan said: "Lin Shaoqing is delving into an old unsolved case, so naturally he has no time." For the little case of theft."
Old case? Wen Mingtang casually passed on the topic: "What old case?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Yuan winked at her, and said in a low voice, "It's an old case that has something to do with His Royal Highness King Yu."
If it is found that this old case is really related to King Yu, then the lawsuit will be entangled, and King Yu will be a relative of the emperor. With the attitude of the Holy One towards King Yu, King Yu will lose his skin even if he is not dead.
This can save Wen Mingtang a lot of trouble!
