Chapter 213: Legendary braised pork, grand appearance!
Wang Jianye smiled and said, "I will launch the braised pork as a signature dish in the next two days. You can come to our Fengze Garden to try it. This braised pork with Hanyuan pepper has the taste and texture."

Wang Jianye's skill in making braised pork has reached legendary level. Currently, there is no one in the world who can do it better than him or has a higher level than him.

No one knows better than Wang Jianye what ingredients should be used, what ingredients should not be used, and how to use the ingredients when making braised pork.

However, the chef of Tianfu Food House firmly believed that adding Sichuan peppercorns to braised pork would make it tough, and said unconvincedly, "Okay, I'll go to your Fengze Garden in a couple of days to try it and see if your chef Wang has any skills to make braised pork with Sichuan peppercorns taste better!"

"Welcome to taste!"

After Wang Jianye finished speaking with a smile, he and Qiao Jianliang pushed their bicycles back together.

When he was about to leave the market, Wang Jianye suddenly caught a glimpse of a man squatting on the side of the road, holding a jar with a sign in front of him that read: Centennial Distiller's Lees.

"Wait a minute."

Wang Jianye stopped Qiao Jianliang and walked towards the man selling distiller's grains. "Comrade, can I ask what your name is? It can't be that your name contains the word 'hundred years', right?"

"What nonsense! My name is Li Hui. Do you want to buy it or not? If not, please don't delay my business."

Li Hui said in annoyance.

"If it's genuine 100-year-old distiller's grains, I'll definitely buy it." Wang Jianye squatted down, "Can I have a taste?"

"Are you serious about buying it? Are you like those people before, just trying it but not buying it?" Li Hui looked at Wang Jianye warily, "I want five yuan per two ounces of this."

"Don't worry, if it's genuine hundred-year-old distiller's grains, I will definitely buy it. Look, is this pile of money enough?"

Wang Jianye took out a handful of money from his pocket and flashed it in front of Li Hui. Only then did Li Hui feel relieved, knowing that the man in front of him was a wealthy and sincere buyer. So he picked up the chopsticks in the bowl, dipped them into the jar and took out a little bit of wine lees, "Here, try it."

Wang Jianye first sniffed it, then tasted it carefully. "Hmm, it's quite old distiller's grains, but definitely not a hundred years old, probably only a dozen years at most. Can you sell it at a cheaper price, two yuan per two ounces? If you do, I'll take more."

"Well, if I wasn't in urgent need of money, I wouldn't be willing to sell the treasures at home. Tell me, how much do you want?"

Li Hui took an empty small pottery jar from the side, weighed it on the scale first, and showed it to Wang Jianye clearly. The weight of the pottery jar was eight taels.

"Give me a pound of distiller's grains."

"Got it."

Li Hui picked up the spoon and poured spoonful after spoonful into the small ceramic jar right under Wang Jianye's nose. There was nothing wrong with it, as it was genuine old wine lees.

After weighing a pound of distiller's grains, Wang Jianye paid thirty-two yuan and then left with the small clay jar.

"Master Wang, why did you buy distiller's grains? Do you need distiller's grains to make braised pork?"

On the way, Qiao Jianliang asked in confusion.

"Wine lees are good stuff. The older they are, the more fragrant they are. They can also replenish qi and blood, invigorate blood circulation and dispel cold, and refresh the mind and relieve fatigue. I'll keep some for myself and send some to Master Luo."

Wang Jianye bought it mainly to honor Master Luo. After all, he was given a private house worth hundreds of millions in the future, so he had to do something for Master Luo.

Just as Wang Jianye rode his bicycle and headed towards Fengze Garden.

At the market, the chef of Tianfu Food House also noticed Li Hui's distiller's grains. After tasting them and asking the price, he bought some. He also learned from Li Hui that his family had some leftover Hanyuan peppercorns, so the chef of Tianfu Food House happily went to his house to get them.

On the other side, Wang Jianye and Qiao Jianliang returned to Fengze Garden on Zhushikou West Street.

"It's ten o'clock."

Glancing at the clock hanging on the wall in the kitchen, Wang Jianye tied an apron on himself and said, "I will try to make the legendary braised pork before 11 o'clock, so that the guests who come to Fengze Garden for lunch can catch it." Wang Jianye cleaned the piece of pork belly, put the whole piece into the boiling water in the pot for blanch for 30 seconds, then took it out and rinsed it under the tap until it was cool. This step is to wash the meat.

Then cut into thick pieces the size of mahjong, blanch them in a pot of boiling water, take them out again and rinse them under the tap until they are cool, put them into a pot of boiling water again and blanch them, take them out and drain the water. This is the second step, blanching.

Then proceed to the third step, stir-frying the ingredients. Wang Jianye puts oil into the pot. Before the oil is hot, he adds cinnamon, peppercorns, bay leaves and dried chili segments and stir-frys over low heat until fragrant.

Then you can proceed to the next step, stir-fry the pork. Put the cut pork belly the size of mahjong pieces into the pot and stir-fry until both sides of the pork belly are slightly yellow.

The next step is to add color. Wang Jianye put in a few pieces of rock sugar and then added soy sauce, stir-frying evenly so that every piece of meat can be colored.

Then you can add enough hot water, bring it to a boil, skim off the foam, add jujube slices and ginger slices, and simmer on low heat for fifty minutes.

When the time is up, open the lid of the pot, simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced, and sprinkle with some chopped green onions.

In this way, a dish of braised pork with good color, aroma and taste is ready.

[Ding, experience value +1]

[Ding, the legendary braised pork made by the host triggers a special effect, increasing lifespan by one day and IQ by one point.]

Knowing that it was of legendary quality and would be so delicious that it would make people cry, after serving the dish, Wang Jianye did not taste it himself as he did the first time he made the legendary spicy and sour potato shreds, but instead called Zhou Qingde over.

"Master Wang, have you improved it so quickly?"

Zhou Qingde was very surprised when he was called over. This was too fast. It didn't take two or three days. It was made in just one morning. "Let me try it."

After eating the legendary braised pork, Zhou Qingde was shocked, "This is so delicious, isn't it?!"

He dared to say that this was the most delicious braised pork he had ever eaten in his life, no doubt about it!

"Master Wang, you are so amazing."

Zhou Qingde couldn't help crying as he ate the dish. "If this dish is served in Fengze Garden, it will definitely attract many customers just like the spicy and sour potato shreds you made before, Master Wang!"

"What are you waiting for? Tell the front office and we'll serve this dish at noon."

Wang Jianye smiled and said.

Zhou Qingde wiped away his tears and nodded seriously: "Okay, Master Wang, I'll do it right away."

Those who don’t know the situation might think that Wang Jianye is the head chef of Fengzeyuan, and Zhou Qingde is just an ordinary chef in the kitchen.

Zhou Qingde found Xu Youliang and agreed to temporarily sell Master Wang’s signature braised pork separately, with the price 50% higher than ordinary braised pork.

Then Xu Youliang called all the receptionists in the front hall together, "Today, Master Wang has improved the braised pork, and it has reached the level of Master Wang's spicy and sour potato shreds. So when we entertain the guests today, we must recommend Master Wang's signature braised pork to them!"

Qin Huairu, who was in the crowd, was extremely surprised when she heard this. She thought, Brother Wang has another delicious signature dish so soon? It's amazing.

Qin Huairu was surprised and happy at the rapid improvement in Wang Jianye's cooking skills.

It’s a pity that I can’t tell the first uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, and Jia Dongxu in the courtyard about how great Brother Wang is in Fengze Garden, so that they can be envious.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

The first group of guests arrived at Fengze Garden.
