Regardless of whether Li Yuan did it intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Junshan gave in faster than anyone else, and his hands were injured, so the task of doing the evening meal naturally fell on Wen Mingtang.

When it was past half hour, Wen Mingtang took Ah Bing and Tangyuan to see the ingredients for the evening meal.

As soon as he saw the fresh pork ribs, Wen Mingtang couldn't help but praise, "Good!"

"Of course it's good, I picked it myself!" Ji Caimai couldn't help but feel proud in his tone. After all, he had been a buyer for so many years, so how could the ingredients he picked be so bad? Lunch and evening food are both unpalatable, and it's not because Wang, who has the same surname as Sun, has the same surname.

It’s because of poor craftsmanship!

The meat dish for the evening meal is pork ribs, and the vegetarian dishes include green peppers, potatoes, and some tofu and cucumbers.

Wen Mingtang looked at the dishes and had an idea in his mind. After moving the rack of ribs onto the chopping board on the counter, he picked a bone-chopping knife and started chopping the ribs.

Wait until cut into small pieces of similar size and rinse in water.

There are such steps in preparing ribs. Ji Caimai asked Wen Mingtang: "How do you prepare these ribs?"

Wen Mingtang glanced at half a bag of garlic and said, "I want to make garlic pork ribs."

Garlic spareribs? I’ve never heard of them again. Ji Caimai nodded, carrying a bowl of ice powder that he mixed with his own ingredients, walked to the food table closest to the countertop and sat down: obviously he wanted to see these garlic spareribs.

How to do it.

After the ribs are washed, Ah Bing and glutinous rice balls help flatten and chop the peeled garlic.

Seeing A Bing slapping garlic with the back of the knife neatly and neatly, even Ji Caimai couldn't help but be surprised: "It's... quite skillful!"

Although Master Wen has only been here for a few days, these two half-year-old children have learned a lot.

Well, the bowl of snack called ice powder in his hand was made by two children, A Bing and Tangyuan.

"A Bing is stronger, and she should be fine with more practice in weighing pots, cooking, and knife skills," Wen Mingtang said. "The glutinous rice balls are delicate, so it would be very suitable for her to do the pastries and other detailed work while Bai An is there."

When Ji Caimai heard this, his eyes paused on the two people who were busy, and nodded: "That's true, but you are willing to teach me!"

After all, it is the art of eating at hand, and not just anyone is willing to teach it.

"I also learned it from others," Wen Mingtang said with a smile, "Others didn't hide their secrets, so why should I?"

This is quite true, what she learned came from later generations, not from herself.

When the blood in the pork ribs was almost soaked, Ah Bing and the glutinous rice balls had chopped the garlic, and Wen Mingtang poured in most of the bowl of minced garlic, leaving only a little bit for other purposes.

Then add sauce, wine, salt, pepper, eggs and a little starch, knead well and marinate.

While the ribs were marinating, I also processed the vegetables together. Cut potatoes and green peppers into shreds to make green pepper and potato shreds. Make cucumbers and pickle them slightly. Cut the tofu into cubes and add egg droplets to make tofu and egg drop soup.

These vegetarian dishes are not uncommon, even Master Sun and Master Wang have made them, but the taste is really unflattering.

Liu Yuan and others knew about Li Yuan's Cuju kick today. When they learned that Wen Mingtang was doing the evening meal today, they began to look forward to the evening meal for the first time since entering Dali Temple.

However, after looking at the files on the table, Liu Yuan shook his head, shook off the expectations for Mu Shi in his mind, and continued to look through the files with his head down.

The names in the row on the file in my hand are very hard to pronounce: they are not from the Central Plains!

At this point, he still doesn't know how these are related to the case itself, but Lin Shaoqing asked him to investigate, so let's investigate!

After he finished checking the file in his hand and heard the bell ringing for Youshi, Liu Yuan hurriedly threw away the file in his hand and hurried to the public kitchen hall.

I originally thought that he had left early enough, but unexpectedly, there were already many people sitting in the public kitchen of Dali Temple.

You came really early! Liu Yuan said angrily to himself, walked to the front of the counter, said hello to Wen Mingtang and others standing behind the counter, and then eagerly lowered his head to look at the dishes on the counter.

The vegetarian dishes are green peppers, shredded potatoes and cucumbers. Compared with the obviously burnt, overcooked and rotten vegetarian dishes of Master Sun and Master Wang in the past, the two vegetarian dishes on this table look much better in appearance.

In the soup pot on the side is tofu and egg drop soup made of tender white tofu and beaten egg drop.

The dishes are still made in the same way, but they are green and white, and the clean and refreshing appearance makes people feel a little appetizing at a glance.

What really made him unable to take his eyes away was the meat dishes on the side.

The meat dish for dinner today was pork ribs, but the preparation was completely different from what he had seen before. It was deep-fried and turned into a golden color. It was also covered with what looked like deep-fried chopped peanuts and something unknown.

Just standing here, an indescribable aroma of garlic hits my nose.

The name of this dish lives up to the indescribable aroma of garlic, it’s called Garlic Spare Ribs.

When eating, he skewers his thumbs on a wooden skewer in front of the counter and eats them raw. Ji Caimai, who is like a "living sign", is also pinching the two ends of the ribs with his two fingers and opening his mouth to eat the garlic pork ribs.

Liu Yuan only saw Ji Caimai take a bite of the pork meat near the bone. Because he was so close, he could hear the crispy sound of the ribs the moment he took a bite.

The outer skin is deep-fried and crispy, and the tenderness of the pork meat inside can be imagined just by looking at it. Although it is soft and tender, it is extremely easy to remove the bones. Liu Yuan watched Ji Caimai pinch both ends of the bones and nibbled a few along the ribs.

He opened his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, all the meat on the bones was eaten away, leaving only one bone. Even though he ate only the bones, Ji Caimai still sucked the aftertaste on the bones.

He reluctantly dropped the bone and turned to the next piece.

Just looking at it like this is almost unbearable. I don’t know if Ji Caimai did it on purpose or... Needless to say, this old and cunning man must have done it on purpose!

Liu Yuan gave Ji Caimai a sharp look, quickly took the bowl and plate from A Bing, and walked to the nearest food table.

As soon as he sat down, he immediately picked up a piece of garlic spareribs with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Just now when he watched Ji Caimai chewing on the garlic pork ribs, he smelled the rich garlic aroma and had already imagined the taste of the garlic pork ribs. But after actually eating it, he realized that his imagination was still too shallow.

The skin of the ribs was crispy and the pork was tender. When he took a bite, the strong garlic aroma wrapped around the pork did not overwhelm the main meal. On the contrary, it made the pork even more fragrant. What he never expected was the peanut-like flavor wrapped around the pork.

The general particles are not crushed peanuts, but minced garlic. The crispy and caramelized garlic adds a more complex taste to the whole garlic ribs, making the whole ribs taste layer by layer, making people eat it in one bite.

There was something about it that just couldn't stop.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but cheered repeatedly, and he hurriedly picked up the second chopstick after eating one piece. However, in the blink of an eye, he had eaten down to the last piece of the garlic pork ribs in the bowl.

Then, they saw Zhao You leading the way, followed by Lin Fei and Li Yuan walking into the public kitchen.
Chapter completed!
