The original name of Brain, who was introduced to the Yuanzhou shop by KFC, was Qin Xiaoyi. He finished his work early today and went home as soon as he got off work.
Since it was his friend's birthday today, he liked to come to his home and cook for himself instead of going out to eat hotpot on his friend's birthday.
Of course, these friends were only limited to several close junior high school classmates.
As for why he chose his home, it might be because he was still single.
However, it was not important. Anyway, Qin Xiaoyi had been used to it. Besides, it was better to be a little angry after living alone for so long.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoyi went to the supermarket to buy all the ingredients needed for today as soon as he got off work, including chicken, duck and fish. Including himself, there were six people in total.
When Qin Xiaoyi carried the ingredients home and threw his suit aside, he hadn't even finished smoking a cigarette when someone knocked on the door.
"Peng Peng", a loud knocking sound passed from the door. Someone once said that the identity of the person could be determined from the strength of the knocking. Judging from the sound and strength, it was definitely from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Coming, coming. Are you rushing me?" Qin Xiaoyi opened the door unhurriedly.
He happily led his three companions into the restaurant. One of them was even carrying a bottle of liquor. Among them was Big Steamed Bun, who claimed to be the Chef of Chengdu School.
Why was he called Big Steamed Bun? Because his face was much bigger than a small steamed bun. Therefore, he got such a nickname.
Everyone was very familiar with Qin Xiaoyi's house. Therefore, they found a familiar seat and sat down without his invitation.
"You guys sit by yourselves. If you want to eat snacks, go to the fridge. Twice." Qin Xiaoyi said to the birthday boy of his companions without any rhyme or reason.
The birthday boy seemed to have guessed it. He opened a bottle of beer and ate the peanuts on the tea table first.
It was an old rule for many years. Two meals in exchange for one meal cooked by Qin Xiaoyi. It also meant twice.
After a while, the remaining two people also arrived. Everyone was present.
Honestly speaking, these several people didn't have the best relationship when they were in junior high school. Most of the time, they didn't get along with each other. They were the kind of people who bullied others. When they graduated, some of them definitely swore and prayed not to see each other again.
But when they graduated from college and entered the workplace, they coincidentally met again in the same office building a few years later and became very good friends.
Speaking of which, it wasn't strange. It was just that after meeting someone who was even more impolite, she kind of missed that familiar and slightly impolite person.
"It's so convenient to be at Xiaoyi's house."
"Stop talking, I'm watching TV."
"It's my birthday today. Can I watch the sports channel first?"
After sitting for a while, Big Steamed Bun couldn't sit still anymore and ran to the kitchen. He couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart and had to go and give orders.
Qin Xiaoyi had just taken out all the ingredients and washed them. He had also chopped the onions, ginger, and garlic.
"Do you need my help?" Big Steamed Bun asked. "I think it's time for me to show you the authentic Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine."
"He didn't want to talk to you and rolled his eyes at you."
Qin Xiaoyi had nothing else to say about the steamed buns, so he started to make them.
The first dish was Yuxiang Shredded Pork. Although this dish didn't have a long history, it was a very popular, homely, and homely dish in both Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine and Chongqing School of Sichuan Cuisine.
Therefore, Qin Xiaoyi was very serious when making it. Even the meat was carefully selected with the most fat and most lean meat.
Although his knife skills were average, he still seriously cut the meat into shreds and began to stir-fry it.
Of course, he directly mixed the seasonings that were suitable for the fish flavor and poured them into the wok when they were almost done stir-frying.
This was a very homely way of doing things, and it could be done very well.
Qin Xiaoyi was very serious when stir-frying the Yuxiang Shredded Pork. The sound of oil crackling could be heard in the wok. It was very lively.
"Do you know how to make Yuxiang Shredded Pork? How can you put black fungus in it? Moreover, it's black fungus that has been soaked in boiling water. Don't you know that it will affect the taste?" Big Steamed Bun said hurriedly when he saw Qin Xiaoyi throw the black fungus into the wok.
Qin Xiaoyi turned a deaf ear to him and added some winter bamboo shoots, shredded carrots, green onions, and green bamboo shoots.
"The authentic Yuxiang Shredded Pork of the Chengdu School is definitely made with shredded green peppers and carrots," Big Steamed Bun explained. "When cooking, color, aroma, and taste have to be perfect. This is especially true for the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine. Green, red, and meat color are the perfect color combination."
"In terms of taste, the slight spiciness of the green peppers and the slight sweetness of the carrots are the perfect combination."
The reason why Big Steamed Bun emphasized the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine so much was because if it was just Sichuan Cuisine alone, he wouldn't be ranked at all. There were indeed many famous Sichuan Cuisines.
Strictly speaking, the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine didn't have a master. Therefore, when there was no tiger on the mountain, the monkey would be the king.
"Is the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine really cooked like what you said?" Qin Xiaoyi suddenly turned his head and asked.
This shocked Big Steamed Bun. Usually, Qin Xiaoyi would be speechless after being nagged by him. This was the first time he argued with him.
"Of course. Who do you think I learned the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine from?" Big Steamed Bun immediately said.
"But the Yuxiang Shredded Pork I ate at a restaurant was cooked like this. And that restaurant also made the authentic Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine," Qin Xiaoyi said.
Almost without thinking, Big Steamed Bun said, "Then it must not be authentic."
"How about this? I'll take you there tomorrow. If it's not authentic, then I'll treat you. If it's authentic, then you'll treat me. How about that?" Qin Xiaoyi said.
Big Steamed Bun hesitated for a moment. Because he was a cautious person, he felt that Qin Xiaoyi was a little abnormal today.
But in this matter, even if he was wrong, it was just the cost of a meal. How much could a meal cost? A restaurant that could afford to order Yuxiang Shredded Pork was not an expensive restaurant. Moreover, he had learned the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine before.
Thinking of this, Big Steamed Bun became fearless. Who was afraid of the Chengdu School's Sichuan Cuisine? He immediately agreed to Qin Xiaoyi's words.
Qin Xiaoyi turned his back to Big Steamed Bun and prepared the next dish. He thought to himself, Am I being a little unreasonable?
After all, Big Steamed Bun was not only a chatterbox and liked to show off, but he was also a loyal friend.
"Hey, look at you. How can the Twice Cooked Pork be stir-fried like this? The Twice Cooked Pork needs to be …"
Big Steamed Bun continued to talk. Qin Xiaoyi suppressed the shame in his heart and firmly decided to order a Herbal Egg tomorrow.
Also, the chopped chilli should be added earlier. I need to concentrate on cooking!
Even the duck feathers are not shaved clean.
Qin Xiaoyi continued to order dishes in his heart. I also need to add Dongpo Pig Knuckle and Jinling Prawns!
…
The next day.
Qin Xiaoyi drove to Yuanzhou shop with Big Steamed Bun. He specially borrowed a car from his colleague and drove himself instead of taking a taxi.
"What's the name of the shop we're going to? I'll use Meituan to search for its rating. "
"It's not famous. It's not on Meituan."
On the way, Big Steamed Bun asked Qin Xiaoyi, and Qin Xiaoyi answered.
Big Steamed Bun looked at Qin Xiaoyi suspiciously.
Qin Xiaoyi said with certainty, "There's really no such shop on Meituan. The ranking is always matched with the ranking that cheats people."
Big Steamed Bun, who was originally suspicious, immediately felt relieved after hearing such a vicious oath. He thought, What's there to be afraid of if it's not even on Meituan?
