After being reminded by the girl with the ponytail, the girl with black-rimmed glasses immediately twitched her nose a few times, and then said with the same surprise:
"It's true, it smells like braised pork, it's really delicious!"
She was so angry that she didn't notice it for a while. After being reminded, she suddenly felt that her nose was filled with the aroma of braised pork.
The two of them were sniffing and looking around, trying to find a stall selling braised pork.
As the scent gets stronger and stronger.
The girl with black-rimmed glasses couldn't bear it anymore. Even though she just drank a bowl of porridge and ate a steamed bun, her stomach started growling.
"Where's the braised meat shop?! Why didn't you see it?"
The girl with black-rimmed glasses said anxiously, mainly because the braised food was so fragrant, and her unsatisfied stomach began to growl again when she smelled the aroma.
But when I looked back at the cafeteria for a week and didn't see the braised pork restaurant, I immediately became anxious.
"It's really strange. Although the braised pork smells so good, I didn't see any braised pork shop."
The girl with the ponytail also looked puzzled.
Seeing that she couldn't find the braised meat shop, the girl with black-rimmed glasses looked helplessly at the bun in her hand that she had just disliked. She couldn't help but bite it off in one bite, and then slowly finished eating it.
She didn't want to eat the steamed buns at first, but the smell was too strong and made her hungry again.
After the two finished eating the buns in their hands, the girl with black-rimmed glasses suddenly showed the perseverance of Huaqing students and said:
"No! We must find out the source of the aroma of this braised pork!"
As a senior foodie, she really didn't want to let go of such fragrant braised pork.
The girl with the ponytail nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them followed the scent and started looking for it.
At the same time, other students in the cafeteria also started to get restless.
They all smelled the refreshing aroma of braised pork.
"It smells so good! Where does the smell of braised pork come from!"
"Is there still such a fragrant braised meat restaurant hidden in the No. 4 canteen?"
"Where did it come from? I don't remember that there is a braised meat shop in the No. 4 cafeteria."
"Is it the old stall that is developing new dishes?"
The students started talking a lot and started looking for the source of the aroma of braised pork.
The girl with black-rimmed glasses, who has an absolutely sensitive sense of smell, has slowly followed the scent and smelled it in front of stall 2.
"it's here!"
The girl with black-rimmed glasses made a loud voice, and all the students who were looking for the source of the scent immediately came over.
“This stall is not open!”
"I don't know if anyone is there."
"Is it really the fragrance coming from here?"
When someone questioned it, the girl with black-rimmed glasses immediately retorted: "I have absolute confidence in my nose, right here!"
In the kitchen, Yang Yi was still counting the time by the stainless steel bucket. When he saw the clock on the wall jumped to 8:35,
Yang Yi then put all the cleaned pig ears into the brine.
In this way, the pork head and pig ears can be cooked together in only forty minutes, that is, at nine fifteen.
Hearing the noise outside, Yang Yi opened the door between the kitchen and the stall.
More than twenty students had already gathered in front of the stall.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Yang Yi felt slightly certain that his decision to attract students with the scent of red brine was indeed a very wise decision.
When Aunt Zhang saw Yang Yi coming out, she immediately smiled and said: "Yang Yi, look at what you have done, you have made all the flowers of the motherland smell fragrant."
Yang Yi smiled awkwardly, pretending to be modest and said: "I didn't expect to be so popular."
On the contrary, the students gathered in front of the stall heard the meaning of Aunt Zhang's words and immediately became excited.
“It’s really the fragrance coming from here!”
"The newly opened braised meat restaurant is so delicious, Si Canteen is about to turn around!"
"The key is that the boss is so young and looks almost like us!"
"He looks clean and handsome, and the braised pork is so delicious. Couldn't it be contracted by our classmates?"
"When can the boss eat braised pork?"
"Yes, yes, when will it open?"
The students began to discuss one after another, and the girl with black-rimmed glasses asked a key question, and other students immediately agreed.
"You can come over and eat at noon today."
Yang Yi responded with a smile.
"Huh? We still have to wait until noon?"
"It's so fragrant. Can it be cooked in half an hour?"
"We can wait!"
The students started to boo again.
Seeing such enthusiastic students, Yang Yi was a little helpless. When braised pork, he always pinched it carefully.
At 12 o'clock, when they get out of school at noon, it happens to be the best time to eat the three ingredients.
For example, if the pig ears are eaten right out of the pot, the skin on the pig ears will be too soft and waxy, and even if it tastes fragrant, the taste will be greatly reduced.
Just when Yang Yi was about to explain.
Another voice rang out from the group of students: "Holy crap, it's eight forty! We're going to be late!"
Hearing this sentence, the students' expressions suddenly changed. They were going to be late too!
The next moment, all the students gathered in front of Yang Yi's stall dispersed.
After all, he is a student from Huaqing, and he still values his studies very much.
What if Yang Yi went to the junior college in his previous life and took classes? All he could say was that it didn't matter.
Yang Yi was relieved to avoid the trouble of explaining, and returned to the kitchen to continue waiting for the pork head and ears to mature.
Time passes minute by minute,
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to nine fifteen.
"It's time to take the pot out."
When he heard the alarm clock ringing, Yang Yi stopped scrolling on his phone, got up and went to the braised pot.
When you open the lid of the pot, the kitchen is instantly filled with the rich aroma of braised pork.
Then Yang Yi brought two stainless steel iron plates and a colander.
Prepare to salvage pig head meat and pig ears.
This action must be done carefully and gently.
Otherwise, the braised pork head meat will break into pieces with a little force, which will also destroy the integrity of the skin and affect its appearance.
The pork head meat leaked out of the pot with Yang Yi's instructions, showing its most perfect state.
The white pork head meat has become red and shiny with the color of sugar.
The aroma and taste of various marinades are also infiltrated into every part of the pork head.
When Yang Yi saw it, he couldn't help but want to feast.
All the pig head meat and pig ears were fished out, and Yang Yi put the two types of meat separately into a rectangular stainless steel plate.
Then put it on the stall to let it cool faster. (Let it cool naturally. Do not use a fan to blow it. It will dry out the moisture in the skin and the inside will not be cooled yet.)
In the hot state, the skin on the pork head and ears is too soft and waxy, which is not conducive to cutting.
You need to wait until they are completely cool before you can cut and plate them.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Yi put the cleaned pig's trotters into two parts and put them into the brine pot.
Yang Yi doesn't plan to re-cut the pig's trotters. He plans to dry them directly after braising them and then sell them.
Although "good taste" in food is a very important common sense, for something like pig's trotters, you have to eat half of it directly to enjoy it.
At stall No. 1, Huang Zhiqiang suddenly felt that the aroma of braised pork was stronger, and immediately realized that Yang Yi’s braised pork might be out of the pot!
Thinking of this, he immediately threw the kitchen knife he was cutting potatoes on the chopping board and rushed out of the kitchen of his stall.
