Chapter 17: Show off

Sorting out the grain and seasonings, Shen Yanbei rolled up his sleeves to wash rice and cook, and Gu Changfeng laid hands on the side.
Scanning the existing ingredients at home, Shen Yanbei quickly drafted a lunch menu: pork bone soup, spring bamboo shoots fried pork, and braised pork.
I have seen how Shen Yanbei cooks that day, but Gu Changfeng still couldn't help but focus his eyes on this young man who seemed to shine.
Clean the pork belly skillfully, cut it into small cubes, blanch it in the water after the water is boiled, remove it and drain it, then put it in the pot and stir-fry.
Along with the sound of rustling, a burst of meat faintly diffused. Gu Changfeng sniffed, looking at the slightly yellow pork belly, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Even though he had eaten fish and rabbit meat in the past two days, he still couldn't stop his desire for food.
Seeing oil and juice overflowing, Shen Yanbei added star anise, cinnamon, ginger, garlic and other aniseed ingredients on fire to fragrant, immediately a strong aroma drifted through the kitchen.
Gu Changfeng's eyes were full of surprise. This fragrance is very unique, he has never smelled such a strong and special fragrance.
Add some soy sauce to the pot and stir fry for color, Shen Yanbei took out the small bamboo wine he bought in the morning and added a small amount to remove the fishy. There is no special cooking wine, only rice wine can be used.
Sprinkled some salt in, added water to the meat, Shen Yanbei closed the lid and asked Gu Changfeng to pull some firewood out and let it simmer slowly.
Taking advantage of the stew time, Shen Yanbei prepared the next dish.
Cut the remaining pork belly into thin slices and marinate with salt and soy sauce. In another pot, add water to a boil over high heat, blanch the cut bamboo shoots, remove and drain.
Heat the pan, add oil, put the marinated pork belly in the pan, stir-fry until golden brown and transfer to a bowl for later use. Then put the reserved fat slices into the pot, after the fat is fried, add the onion, and garlic until fragrant, pour the spring bamboo shoots and sliced ​​pork belly...
Gu Changfeng could see God from the side.
The handsome young man raised his sleeves high, with a focused expression. Add oil, stir fry, add seasonings, and move neatly, just like an experienced chef.
The heat pours on his face, making the slightly pale face blush, and the whole person looks radiant...
Who would have thought that such a weak scholar would wave his spatula and cook for him?
"Daughter-in-law, get me a dish!" Shen Yanbei turned his head, and suddenly met the black eyes that stared at him deeply.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and Shen Yanbei moved his face towards him and approached him: "What are you looking at?"
Gu Changfeng regained his senses abruptly, his ears were hot, and subconsciously replied, "No...nothing..."
With a raised brow, Shen Yanbei pointed to his lips. Gu Changfeng's face was flushed, and he had to kiss him quickly against his hot gaze.
Shen Yanbei smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, bring me a plate!"
...
Three dishes were served one after another.
The color of the pork bone soup is clear, and there are a few bright red goji berries floating on it, which makes people appetite; the spring bamboo shoots fried pork, bamboo shoots sliced ​​meat mix, look refreshing and delicious; the braised pork is shiny, trembling, and the fragrance is greedy People drool.
Gu Changfeng's throat rolled, serving Shen Yanbei and himself.
"Try your husband's craft!" Shen Yanbei smiled and put a piece of fat and thin braised pork into his bowl.
Gu Changfeng couldn't wait to pick up the piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
The first feeling is that the teeth are springy, the teeth touch the slightly sticky fleshy skin, and everything down with force is a layer of fat but not greasy fat, continue to bite down, and the lean flesh layer will melt in your mouth...
The three sensations progressed layer by layer, and the rich and attractive fragrance poured straight into the nasal cavity. Gu Changfeng opened his eyes suddenly and took a bite of rice eagerly.
The rice fragrant mixed with the meat fragrant swallows into the throat, the deliciousness is simply unstoppable!
"It's delicious!" Gu Changfeng was holding the bowl, his eyes bright.
"Then try this!" Shen Yanbei said, holding a piece of spring bamboo shoots straight to Gu Changfeng's mouth.
Gu Changfeng bit down without hesitation, and then nodded quickly: "It's delicious too!" The bamboo shoots dipped in the gravy were crisp and refreshing, and it was delicious!
"Have a mouthful of soup?" Shen Yanbei brought the cold soup over, and Gu Changfeng took a sip smoothly.
The soup was delicious, and there was a taste in it that he had never tasted before, and I took another sip, still unable to tell what it felt like.
"How?" Shen Yan held his chin in his hand, and looked at him with a slight smile, enjoying the different delicious experience he brought to Gu Changfeng.
"I'm stupid and can't describe it, but they all feel delicious!" Gu Changfeng told the truth. He had never eaten such a delicious dish before, and he really wanted to swallow his tongue!
"Then do you think that if you open a restaurant with this kind of craftsmanship, the guests will appreciate it?"
Gu Changfeng didn't even think about it, but he replied: "It will definitely be, such a delicious dish..." Halfway through the conversation, Gu Changfeng was stunned.
"Husband, you... do you want to open a restaurant?"
Shen Yanbei nodded: "Didn't Uncle Shen say that the restaurant that Laifu is in charge of is going to change hands, and the restaurant is in a good location. I want to take it down."
"You are a talented master, how can you be a cook!" Gu Changfeng said dumbly, clenching his chopsticks tightly, full of self-blame. If it weren't for him to be useless, how could his husband, a dignified master, want to find his way by cooking! As the saying goes, "The gentleman is far from the kitchen", if someone knows about it, Shen Yanbei is cooking like a cook in a hot and soot kitchen...
Thinking of those people looking at Shen Yanbei's scornful eyes, Gu Changfeng broke his chopsticks with a "pop".
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Yanbei took out the broken chopsticks, replaced him with a double good, and put him a piece of braised pork. "I will definitely not come forward to run it, it's just a church chef. It’s just how to cook.
This dynasty was divided into four classes of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, as in ancient China. Although the status of merchants has improved a lot with the development of society, a scholar with merit and fame will be caught in business. Mocking. Moreover, his name as a talent is still very useful. If a talented person does not kneel when he sees an official, he can still be exempted from 80 mu of land tax and free labor. He does not intend to discredit this status.
"But..." Gu Changfeng still didn't want Shen Yanbei to teach others how to cook.
"Aren't we short of money right now? I haven't thought about other jobs, so I'll do this for now." Shen Yanbei explained softly. People rely on food, no matter what time and space in that era, the catering industry is one of the most profitable industries. The most important thing is that he found that there is a lack of condiments, and the cooking methods are relatively simple. Most of the dishes are boiled or stewed, and there is very little stir-frying because it is too oily.
He doesn't know if this is also the case in other places, but this area alone is enough to make him determined to do catering. This is a business opportunity that should not be missed!
While watching Gu Changfeng not speaking, Shen Yanbei said softly: "I won't show up on this matter, I have to rely on you."
"Will you help me?"
The young man's smiling black eyes looked at him expectantly, and Gu Changfeng only felt that his whole heart was scorched by these eyes.
There was a voice in my mind: You are not an ugly pair who is useless except for brute force, you can learn to help him solve problems! You can do more for trying him!
"You are my man, why would I not help you!" Gu Changfeng's voice was a little trembling, and he tried to suppress the excitement in his heart and said slowly.
Shen Yanbei couldn't laugh or cry: "What is going up and down the fire? I can't bear it!"
