Chapter 173 Can't Stop

Speaking of which, Zhang Tong's dishes are really delicious. A dish of crystal sweet and sour pork with a sugar-coated crispy crust and deep-fried tenderloin. So one bite is crispy and delicious, while the tenderloin inside remains tender and juicy.

The sour-sweet tomato sauce was enhanced by Zhang Tong with sugar water and lemon juice. Just smelling such a smell will arouse people's gluttons. Especially Niu Ben and Chen Yao really gave Zhang Tong face, they didn't stop after this dish was served.

The sweet and sour taste is very popular with children, just like many children go to places like Burger King McDonald's to eat French fries, and they eat five packs of ketchup without much french fries.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang tastes so good. It's really delicious! This is sweet and sour meat, right? I haven't eaten it before!" Niu Ben couldn't help but boast while eating. Niu Ben has only seen this dish of sweet and sour meat in various videos, but he has never eaten the real thing. Because not all Cantonese restaurants in Huaihai sell this.

The popular Cantonese cuisine in Huaihai is short, flat and fast-paced. Especially in big shopping malls, it is said to be a Cantonese restaurant, but it can only be regarded as a well-decorated tea restaurant. It only sells a dozen kinds of dim sum and more than 20 kinds of dishes, and basically there are no difficult dishes. There is no such thing as Cantonese-style Laohuo soup. The sweet and sour pork is made like sweet and sour pork with pineapple. The roasted meat sold in the store is not even comparable to the roadside stalls in Houjie, Humen, Zhongshan, and Xiaolan.

The 12 yuan roast duck and char siew rice (including free duck rack soup) on Xiaolan Street is even better than the 45 yuan roast duck rice in Huaihai high-end shopping malls. (In 2016, the real price in an industrial zone in Xiaolan, Zhongshan) Because the expenses in Huaihai are too high, the store has no intention to spend more time processing food, so it can only use short flats to quickly increase sales.

In the era when everyone is pursuing short, flat and quick cooking, including cooking, he can't wait to use broth powder instead of broth to fool diners. Zhang Tong's step-by-step dishes are very precious. Especially in Huaihai.

Chen Yao's family conditions are much better than Niu Ben's. Her parents occasionally take her out on weekends to eat delicious food. She has eaten glutinous rice balls. But after eating Zhang Tong's sweet and sour pork, Chen Yao felt that the sweet and sour pork that she ate before was not good.

"It's so delicious! I've eaten sweet and sour pork before, but the meat has no taste. It's just the sweet and sour taste of tomato sauce. If you eat up the taste of tomato sauce, the meat will have no taste at all. But this sweet and sour pork is delicious. Just the sweet and sour taste of tomato sauce, the meat itself also has a great taste. The meat is very fragrant, you can taste the aroma and umami of the meat, not only the sweet and sour taste!"

Chen Yao's taste in food is obviously much higher than Niu Benlai's. Niu Ben always thinks whether food is delicious or not, but he never subdivides it. And because Chen Yao eats more and sees more, she can quickly distinguish where the good and bad points of a food are.

Zhang Tong held the water glass and looked at Huang Zeying: "Why, why don't you try it? If you want to continue waiting, you can only lick the plate later."

Zhang Tong was not joking, because Chen Yao and Niu Ben were quickly destroying this plate of crystal glutinous rice. Even Huang Gang, who doesn't like sweet and sour tastes, gave Zhang Tong a thumbs up after he tasted a piece: "Well done! The best crystal sweet and sour pork I've ever eaten But that's all!"

Huang Gang is the only one who has eaten it before, and he doesn't like sweet and sour food very much. It is the best for him to make such an evaluation. Huang Gang glanced at Huang Zeying: "What am I talking about, you can't judge people by their appearance. I think you are about to lose. Temples can also have great gods. You can judge whether a person is good or bad or a store is good or bad just by looking at the appearance. Today It's about to hit the iron board."

Huang Gang did not forget to teach his son, but Huang Zeying swallowed her saliva and said forcefully: "I haven't eaten yet, I am evaluating after eating!"

I don't know if this is a step down for me. After all, I was so full of what I just said, Huang Zeying couldn't save face and took the initiative to lower the chopsticks. However, after saying a word to Huang Gang, he finally put down his chopsticks.

In fact, Huang Zeying likes to eat sweet and sour dishes, such as sweet and sour pork. As long as the restaurant has this dish, he must order it. However, some restaurants do not make sweet and sour pork tenderloin well, and the breading is too thick and there is too little tenderloin. It tasted like eating fried dough with tomato sauce.

In some shops, the powder coating is too thin, and as a result, the tenderloin is fried very dry, and it becomes fried pork jerky with tomato sauce. Or in some shops, the frying is not crisp enough, and it doesn't taste good. Huang Zeying claims to be an expert in eating sweet and sour pork. She doesn't know how many plates of sweet and sour pork she will eat in a year.

Although sweet and sour pork is different from sweet and sour tenderloin, there are differences in the method of coating, thickness, smooth frying and seasoning (one sweet and sour and one tomato sauce). But Huang Zeying felt that she must be able to pick out the faults of Zhang Tong's dish.

Pick up a piece of tenderloin and put it in your mouth. The slightly cool temperature on the surface and the sweet and sour taste immediately make the saliva in your mouth secrete. The meat inside was still hot when I took a bite, and the gravy overflowed. The sweet and sour sauce is mixed with the savory pork gravy. Huang Zeying didn't even know how she finished the first piece.

Eh? ! What about the provocation? Why didn't I think of how to be picky just now? Huang Zeying recovered and found that she had forgotten the main purpose.

ah! That's right, it must be because I ate less, so I want to taste another piece and taste it carefully. Huang Zeying took another piece of tenderloin, this time mixed with a piece of pineapple. The chef who first thought of throwing pineapple in the pot as a stir-fry was a genius.

The strong sweet and sour taste of the pineapple and the soft and hard taste are perfect to match with the tenderloin. When the pineapple is chewed, the juice fills the entire mouth, and the moist feeling makes people can't help but eat the second tenderloin directly.

"Hey, you eat a little too much, don't you want to eat!" Niu Ben began to dislike Huang Zeying for eating too much. Although Zhang Tong fried a large plate, Niu Ben suspected that the three of them were seriously not eating enough, and now he needed to defend his own rations.

"I'm happy, I can eat when I'm happy, you don't care about it." Huang Zeying subconsciously gave Niu Ben a nod.

"Oh, don't make noise. Eat well, and don't talk when you are at the dinner table." Chen Yao taught the two boys after swallowing the food in her mouth. She seems like a very well educated girl.

Zhang Tong patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder: "Serve the three of them with rice. I'm serving them a scrambled egg with tomato."

Huang Zeying didn't know why she started to hold the rice in a daze, and while eating the rice, she started to eat sweet and sour pork and tomato scrambled eggs. Shouldn't you be picky?

Tomato scrambled eggs are probably one of the Chinese people's favorite side dishes. The sweet and sour tomatoes and fried eggs are a perfect match. Especially the tomato scrambled egg juice is poured on the rice and eaten with bibimbap, it is so delicious! That's what Niu Ben did. He asked Xiao Xiao for a spoon, and then scooped up two tablespoons of soup and poured it on the rice.

"Rustic." Huang Zeying couldn't help but sneered seeing Niu Ben doing this. Because Huang Zeying's mother never allowed him to eat soup and rice. The first reason is that eating too much soup and rice is not good for the stomach, and the second is that it is rude to do so.

Especially when eating out with others, everyone is eating well. You pick up the dish and pour the soup into your own rice bowl to soak and eat together. The image is too ugly. So Huang Zeying has never tried soaking vegetable soup in rice to eat together. Because it is very impolite to do so in family education.

Regarding Huang Zeying's evaluation, Niu Ben just smiled and said nothing. He directly scooped up a large spoonful of tomato fried rice soup and poured it into Huang Zeying's rice: "Eat, if it's not delicious, I'll write you a super big word for service next time I go to the school playground."

Huang Zeying took a mouthful of rice soaked in soup, boom~ a door to a new world opened!

Probably because I was hungry, or something. Huang Zeying had already forgotten Zhang Tong's bet, and now he was eating with a big mouthful and was scrambling for food with Niu Ben and Chen Yao. The three children ate with great joy.

Huang Gang touched his stubble: "I used to always feel that Zeying's education direction was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. Today, I seem to know something vaguely. Thank you, Boss Zhang."

Zhang Tong waved his hand: "You're welcome. I'm just helping that little fat man by the way. He's familiar with me. If Huang Zeying and Niu Ben have a lot of conflicts, I don't want to see it." Zhang Tong whispered to Huang Gang In the conflict between Niu Ben and Huang Zeying before, Huang Gang remained silent.

"Your son gave me a little favor later, you have to cooperate with me later." Zhang Tong said in a low voice.

Huang Gang looked at Zhang Tong: "I thought you were just joking with him, is the bet true?"

"Of course it's true. Adults always like to break their promises, but they absolutely can't keep their promises in front of children." Zhang Tong said seriously.

"Then what do you want Zeying to lose to you?" Huang Gang was a little puzzled.

"It's not to lose to me, but to ease the relationship between him and the Mavericks." Zhang Tong smiled.
