Chapter 1231: Fermented rice with red braised meat

It was time to pay after ordering. Since Zhou da had said that he would treat, he naturally had to treat. He asked about the price very actively.

"The total is 6464 Yuan. Would you like to pay by cash or bank transfer?" Zhou Jia reported the price neatly.

"Bank transfer." Zhou da said directly.

Hearing the notification sound of the bank transfer, Zhou Jia immediately said with a smile,""Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served in a moment."

Zhou da didn't feel that Yuan Zhou's dishes were expensive. He was also a chef himself, so he naturally knew that the price of delicious dishes was naturally high.

He even felt that Yuan Zhou's price was too cheap. After all, they had ordered six dishes and one meal.

Of course, the premise was that Yuan Zhou had to live up to his name in order to deserve a higher price.

Zhou da was very quiet in the restaurant. He waited quietly, waiting to eat the other Sichuan dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou.

There was a savory and fresh stewed meat with rice flour, a sweet and salty fermented rice with red braised meat, and a complex fish flavor. As long as these three flavors were well prepared, there would naturally be no problem with the others.

After all, these three flavors were completely different from spicy and numbing. In fact, they were the complete opposite.

"You're quite good at ordering. I'll eat what you ordered later. " Zhang Ji said without any room for rejection.

"Yes, President." Zhou da agreed without hesitation.

When Zhou da responded, he was very happy and didn't think about anything else. On the other hand, Zhang San nodded his head with a satisfied expression, and he didn't feel like he was bullying anyone.

"Shameless, snatching people's food." Wu Hai said righteously at the side.

"Go, go, go, what has it got to do with you? what right do you have to criticize me?" Zhang Yan pointed at the chopsticks that Wu Hai was reaching toward Ling Hong's plate with.

"I'm robbing you, you're cheating me. " Wu Hai said proudly.

"..." Zhang Ji choked again. He waved his hand and didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Hai.

At the side, Zhou da was a little dumbfounded when he saw the two of them suddenly bickering and then suddenly stopping. But fortunately, he still remembered his purpose and looked at Yuan Zhou again.

Five minutes later, Zhang Ye's dishes arrived. Zhou Jia carried the dishes to him one by one and then said,"Please enjoy your meal."

"Thank you, Jiajia." Zhang Ye nodded.

"Yes." Zhou Jia answered with a smile and then went to greet the others.

At that moment, Zhou da subconsciously looked at Zhang Yan's dish, but Zhang Yan immediately said,""What I ordered isn't suitable for your purpose today. You can eat your own food later."

"Yes, President." Zhou da nodded his head in a daze and then continued watching Yuan Zhou cook.

Looking at Yuan Zhou's cooking skills, his hand gestures when he processed the dishes, and the speed at which he shook the ladle, Zhou da understood that Yuan Zhou's cooking skills were far above his.

In his heart, he couldn't help but look forward to the dishes that would be served later. That's right, Zhou da hoped that Yuan Zhou could cook delicious dishes, even if he was actually here to cause trouble.

The reason was very simple. Just like what Zhang Yan had said, Yuan Zhou was now a signature dish of Sichuan cuisine. Even if they came to find trouble, he still hoped that Yuan Zhou's dishes would taste good. Of course, he also hoped that Yuan Zhou's dishes wouldn't taste good. If it didn't taste good, it would prove that he wasn't looking for trouble but was just being self-righteous.

Therefore, Zhou DA's feelings were very complicated now.

Before Zhou DA's mental journey turned into a strange place, Zhou Jia carried the dishes he ordered. The first one was fermented glutinous rice with red braised pork.

This was not because of anything else, but because the fermented glutinous rice with red braised pork was too eye-catching.

The fermented glutinous rice red braised pork was a whole piece, and it was placed upside down on a shallow plate. There were three colors on the plate.

The edge of the plate was jade white, the Maroon color surrounding the square-shaped meat, and the crystal Brown color of the oily square-shaped red braised meat.

Why did he notice the fermented glutinous rice with red braised pork at first glance? When Zhou Jia carried the plate with one hand, the plate slightly tilted and shook a little when she put it on the table.

At this moment, the red braised meat also trembled. It was as if extremely tender tofu had been gently pushed by a hand, causing it to tremble a little. Not only did it look extremely beautiful, but it also aroused one's appetite.

After Zhou da and Zhou Jia expressed their thanks, they couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating. With one chopstick, they were originally going to pick up the connected skin of the meat and then pick up a piece. However, with just a slight touch of the chopsticks, the meat was divided into a whole piece. It was square and trembling on the plate.

"Eh?" Zhou da let out a soft sound of surprise and found it a little strange.

The red braised pork with fermented glutinous rice was rated as the best among the five famous dishes in China by the National judges. In fact, this red braised pork could be found in many places and was even very famous.

For example, Mao's Red braised meat, Hangzhou Dongpo meat, Shandong erpened meat, guest red braised meat, Shanghai cherry meat, chestnut red braised meat, and so on had always been the dominant red braised meat.

The reason why this fermented glutinous rice red braised meat could stand out was that its preparation process was complicated and there were many strict steps in using the ingredients. It needed to go through more than 20 processes such as selecting the meat, burning the skin, soaking, scraping, changing the knife, trimming, boiling water, removing the fishy smell, making the brine, frying the sugar, coloring, saccharing, roasting, stewing, steaming, scouring, seasoning, hanging the juice, and so on before it could become a dish.

The reason why Zhou da was surprised was that the whole piece of pig streakwood was usually cut into the inner side of the meat with a cross-shaped knife that was 2cm x 2cm. The depth of the knife was just enough to cut the third line of lean meat without hurting the skin. This was considered perfect.

But now, it seemed that the red braised meat had been split up.

"Gulp." Zhou da could not help but swallow his saliva as he watched.

It couldn't be helped that the meat was too fragrant. Other red braised meat smelled a little greasy, but this red braised meat with fermented glutinous rice didn't smell greasy at all.

There was only a faint smell of wine and the taste of the fermented rice itself, mixed with the pure fragrance of meat and the sweet smell of sugar. This made Zhou da subconsciously swallow his saliva.

"Forget it. Let's try the taste first. After all, the appearance is out now. It all depends on the taste of the red braised pork with fermented rice." Zhou da thought in his heart, and he asked someone to swallow the entire red braised meat in one bite.

"Oh." Zhou da couldn't help but let out a Humph, and only then did he close his mouth and start eating seriously.

He had no choice but to close his mouth. The red braised meat melted the moment he took a sip, and the rich taste of the red braised meat filled his mouth.

This piece of streaky pork had long been cooked to the point of melting. The fat directly melted into juice that was soaked in the fragrance of wine and slid down the throat. The lean meat also melted with a light sip, but the lean meat maintained the meaty fragrance of the meat and was quite delicious.

On the other hand, the skin of this red braised meat was tough. When he chewed, not only was there juice accompanying it, but it was also tough. Moreover, there was a charred fragrance on the top layer, which was the outermost layer that had been burnt yellow.

This fermented rice red braised pork with pork belly was made from streaky pork. Logically speaking, if he ate a piece of it without eating it, he would have a greasy feeling, but the fermented rice itself had a slightly sour taste and the fragrance of wine, which directly removed the greasiness. Zhou da didn't have the time to carefully taste it before he reached out his chopsticks to pick up another piece.

"I can taste more flavor if I eat a few more pieces." Zhou da comforted himself as he ate.
