Chapter 124 Evaluating my nephew’s dishes (please subscribe)

After everyone drank the first glass of wine together, Feng Zhengming got up first and took apart the five-spice boneless pork hooves that had already been served.

With two chopsticks in each hand, the chopsticks can penetrate the pig's trotters gently. With just a little force, the entire pig's trotters can be disassembled, and the bones and the skin and meat on them are naturally separated.

Seeing the pig's trotters taken apart by Feng Zhengming like this, Li Fenzhen swallowed her saliva and said, "These hooves are really messy."

Feng Zonggu said: "This hoof has been stewed for five hours, and it has really been stewed until it falls off the bone."

Feng Zhengming opened the six pig's trotters on the plate and said to everyone: "Come on, you're all welcome."

Li Huidong first selected a very good piece of tendon, picked it up and sent it to Grandpa Feng's bowl.

Seeing this, the old man quickly stretched out his hand to help me and said: "Hey, you eat your own food, you don't need to pinch it for me."

Li Huidong put the tendons in the bowl and said: "The elders come first. This is what Master has always taught us. Grandpa, whether you are talking about it from Master's side or from Zhengming's side, they are our elders and should give You take the best piece first."

Feng Zonggu accepted the piece of tendon Li Huidong gave him and said to Feng Zhengming: "Give your senior brother a piece of tendon."

Feng Zhengming stood up and took action and gave his senior brother a piece of meat with leather straps and tendons.

"Senior Brother, please try it and give me some advice."

Li Huidong picked up the bowl and reached over to take it.

"Okay, let's all try it."

Feng Zhengming then picked another piece for Luo Qing, which was a little less fat, with some lean meat and skin.

When Luo Qing saw it put in a bowl, she couldn't help but feel a little bit dissatisfied. She felt that the skin was still a bit fatty.

Feng Zhengming saw that Luo Qing was afraid of getting tired, so he leaned close to her and whispered: "You won't get tired of it. My stew is very bad. Try it and see. There is collagen in the skin, which is good for girls' skin."

After hearing what Feng Zhengming said, Luo Qing finally picked it up with chopsticks and decided to try it.

When it was put into her mouth, what Luo Qing didn't expect was that the whole piece of meat with the skin was really not greasy at all.

Moreover, after the skin enters the mouth, the teeth only need to bite lightly to easily bite it open.

The whole piece is put into the mouth, and it even needs to be sucked and swallowed.

Not only was the skin stewed very well, but the fat inside almost melted in your mouth.

The lean meat is also stewed very crispy, and you really don’t need to chew the whole piece of meat.

After eating this piece, you will really feel the fragrance on your lips and teeth.

It has a very attractive meaty aroma, and you can’t taste any of the ingredients at all.

Luo Qing had just eaten a piece and was still savoring it.

Li Huidong's son Li Xiaogang couldn't help shouting: "Dad, I want to eat more. The pig's trotters are delicious. I want the fat ones and the skin on them."

When Lin Xiaona saw what her brother had said, she also whispered to her father, "I want to eat too."

Grandpa Feng saw that the two children liked to eat, so he pointed to the plate and said to Feng Zhengming: "Change it for them so that the children can eat more."

Feng Zhengming stood up and changed the plates so that the two children could easily grab them.

When Lin Jiacheng saw this, he quickly said: "Zhengming doesn't need to change, I'll cover it for them."

"Brother-in-law, you're welcome. Children like to eat, so you can eat more. Children need to eat more meat to grow." As he said this, Feng Zhengming still switched to the children's side.

However, when he retracted his hand, Feng Zhengming did not forget to pinch two pieces for Luo Qing.

Li Huidong said to his two apprentices: "Are you going to let me taste your food?"

Zhang Lei immediately stood up and said, "Uncle, please give me some advice."

Feng Zhengming smiled, raised his hand and pressed it down, saying: "Sit down, you sit down, you don't have to stand."

Then Feng Zhengming scooped up a spoonful of sauce-fried diced chicken. "From the color point of view, it is red and shiny, which is very qualified. The gravy is spread evenly, and the leizi has improved a lot."

Putting the spoonful of fried diced chicken in sauce into a bowl, Feng Zhengming poked it around with chopsticks and selected the chicken to taste first.

"The chicken is tender and tender, and the heat is enough, but it's a little bit cooked. In fact, you can cut it into slightly larger dices. It's okay to take a little more time to grease it, but you still have to pay attention. It needs to be stir-fried afterwards, so you can't. too long."

Zhang Lei accepted Feng Zhengming's teachings humbly.

Feng Zhengming then ate the remaining chicken, bamboo shoots, green beans and walnuts into his mouth.

Chew and taste it carefully for a while.

"The overall taste is right. You have fried the sauce thoroughly and the flavor of the sauce has come out. Then you can put a little sugar in the sauce. It won't taste sweet, but it can have a little sweetness and enhance the dish. layering."

Zhang Lei nodded and took note of it humbly.

After Feng Zhengming commented, Feng Zonggu also tasted it.

"Well, very good. Your uncle's requirements are too strict. I think it tastes good. Maybe there are too many good dishes tonight, so your dish is not so prominent."

Zhang Lei said humbly: "My uncle hopes that I can do better. I will accept it humbly and I will cook better in the future."

Feng Zhengming picked up the small wine cup and said, "Hahaha, you didn't blame me for making casual comments. Come and have a drink."

Zhang Lei also raised his wine cup and drank the cup with his junior uncle.

After tasting Zhang Lei's fried chicken with sauce, Feng Zhengming looked at Yang Peng's sweet-scented osmanthus meat.

First pick up one chopstick with chopsticks.

"Well, the shredded pork is cut very well and evenly, and the other ingredients are almost the same length. Xiaopeng's knife skills have improved a lot."

Yang Peng was quite happy after receiving the praise.

Feng Zhengming then took the chopsticks directly into his mouth.

Chew and taste carefully.

"Xiaopeng, you didn't fry the sauce thoroughly when you fried the sauce, but it won't have such a big impact overall, but you still need to pay attention to this when frying again in the future. If you feel that the sauce flying in the pot won't be taken care of, You can fry the shredded pork, take it out first, then put the sauce in the pot and then add the shredded pork and ingredients again.”

After listening to his junior uncle's advice, Yang Peng naturally accepted it humbly.

After tasting the dishes of the two apprentices of the senior brother.

Feng Zhengming said, "Okay, okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. You can't live up to the skills of my senior brother and the others tonight."

At this time, Li Huidong said to Feng Zonggu: "Grandpa, please try my hotpot yellow croaker."

Feng Zonggu looked at the Guotai Yellow Croaker, and was a little surprised at first: "This is the first time I have seen this dish."

Li Huidong used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for the old man, and explained: "This dish is also an old dish, but there are some skills in making it, so there are not many restaurants making it now."

Seeing Li Huidong pick up food for himself again, Feng Zonggu said: "You eat, you eat, you don't have to pick up food for me all the time."

Wait for Li Huidong to put down a piece of fish.

The old man looked carefully again.

"Oh? This should be fish wrapped in egg batter and fried first?"

Feng Zhengming helped explain: "Grandpa's dish is fried first, which is like making pot stickers. The fish is wrapped in an egg paste, and then fried on both sides in the pot until golden brown, and then simmered in stock or a soup prepared with water. That means it collapsed.”

After hearing this, Feng Zonggu suddenly realized: "So this is how the pot collapsed."

The old man used his chopsticks to pick up the fish and put it into his mouth.
