Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 523-Make it, Wuxi Spare Ribs
Wuxi spare ribs is a dish made from pork ribs. The finished product is red in color, the meat is tender and crispy, the bones are fragrant, the juice is thick and the taste is fresh, salty with sweetness, which fully reflects the basic flavor of Wuzhong cuisine.

The sign has been changed to read "Authentic Wuxi spare ribs 40 yuan per portion (includes rice), set meal 60 yuan, plus 3 kinds of stir-fried seasonal vegetables."

Wang Fan is sawing ribs.

The reason why it is sawed instead of chopped is naturally due to the power of technology.

The steel wire was pulled quickly, and soon the ribs were sawed into small pieces of almost the same size, each piece consisting of two ribs. This was why Wang Fan did not ask the butcher to help cut them.

Since we want to make authentic food, naturally every detail must be taken care of.

Wang Fan usually does not blanch the ribs.

The ribs are still washed with flour and salt. After blanching in water, the meaty aroma of the ribs is reduced by more than 3 points. It is an absolute waste of food. After all, the ribs used today are also produced from mountain boars. There is no way, Guizhou has many mountains.

Rub it carefully with flour and a little bit of salt, squeeze it gently, and the red blood will quietly seep into the water. After washing it three times, the water will become clear.

His big pot is in the car, so today's ribs can be cooked in one pot. There are less than 200 servings in total, so one pot is enough.

Pour the cleaned ribs into a basin, add rice wine, salt, sugar, green onion and ginger, and gently knead the marinade evenly so that every piece of ribs is evenly coated.

After marinating for half an hour, he heated the oil in a pan. Instead of putting the ribs in immediately, he put the chopped ginger into the pan first. Wang Fan did not take out the ginger until it was fried until it was golden and curved.

With the sound of "sizzling" and "sizzling", the ribs jumped into the oil pan one after another, and the rich aroma began to waft almost instantly.

The rosy ribs gradually changed color, soon turned white, and then gradually covered with a layer of light golden color, but because sugar was added during the marinating process, each piece of ribs had a slight bright red color of caramel.

Take out the ribs, add onions, ginger and spices and stir-fry again, then put the ribs back and pour half a bucket of rock sugar into the pot with a clang.

It is said that Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are known for their sweet food, but compared with Wuxi, other places are definitely insignificant. The title of the sweetest city in the country is well-deserved.

Zhuo Qianqian was originally curious about why Wang Fan got such a big bucket of rock sugar, but she never expected that he would pour it all into the pot.

"Wow, boss, these ribs are so sweet they're gonna make your teeth drop, right?"

Some advertising slogans always stick with people, even though the girl is the one cooking and the uncle is the one making the sweet food. But when Zhuo Qianqian said this, Wang Fan reflexively responded, "Girl, is it because your teeth are bad?"

"Hey?"

Zhuo Qianqian was not convinced. She leaned forward and pointed at her teeth and said, "My teeth are in great shape. Everything I eat tastes delicious!"

Wang Fan didn't waste any words. He thought it would be a waste not to take advantage of the opportunity that was delivered to his door.

“Yeah, it’s healthy.”

"Boss, you've learned bad things!"

"This might be called revealing one's true nature..."

Red yeast rice powder and light soy sauce enhance the flavor, dark soy sauce adds color, salt enhances the taste, and rice wine adds aroma and removes the fishy smell. Pour in boiling water, cover and simmer on low heat, letting the magic of time show on every piece of ribs.

When making this dish of spareribs, the rich aroma is much more fragrant than when making beggar's chicken.

Firstly, the quantity was large, and secondly, the beggar's chicken was covered with mud, so there was no such thing as 200 portions being stir-fried at the same time like now.

As luck would have it, there is a tailwind today.

The rich and fragrant spareribs were carried upstream by the gentle wind, drifting very far, making the tourists who were originally immersed in the excitement of drifting all unable to help but wail.

"I can tell from the smell that it's Boss Wang poisoning us! Damn, how long will it take to get there?"

"Inhuman! Whose aroma of stewed pork ribs can waft three miles across?!"

"Wow, for a moment I couldn't tell if it was water or saliva hitting my face."

"Brothers, please make way. We will go first!" With a shout, two muscular men passed through several rubber boats like lightning and rushed forward towards downstream.

Who else could it be but Brother Gang and Brother Hua?
Brother Gang felt that his performance yesterday did not live up to his image as a muscular tough guy, so he prepared to challenge extreme rafting again today.

Brother Hua felt that he had not had enough of Wang Fan’s delicious food, so he stayed to play with Brother Gang for another day.

As we got closer to downstream, the fragrance became stronger.

Not only did I start to drool, but even my stomach started to rumble loudly.

The feeling of hunger is probably one of the most unbearable pains. As soon as they reached the shore, they ran towards Wang Fan's stall at a speed that showed that they were rushing forward happily.

When he ran to Wang Fan, he just saw Wang Fan lifting the lid of the pot.

“Gulp” “Gulp”…

When the lid of the pot is opened, rich steam rises like mushroom bombs, and the fresh and mellow aroma of meat becomes even more intense.

Wang Fan turned up the heat and started the final process of collecting the juice.

Seeing Brother Gang and Brother Hua, Wang Fan greeted them with a smile, "Brother Gang and Brother Hua, it's early."

Gang Ge also laughed and said, "It shouldn't have been this early. The aroma of your ribs has drifted into the river. I hurried to catch up with the scene of the fire collecting the juice."

Brother Hua also said with a smile: "Brother Wang is a bit pushing the limits today. The authentic Wuxi spareribs might fail."

What he said was true. After all, the authentic one was a bit too sweet and outsiders might not be able to accept it.

Wang Fan nodded. "You're right. There is indeed a risk of failure. But when showcasing signature dishes from other places, I naturally want to make them authentic. Otherwise, wouldn't people who visit the local area and try them accuse me of cheating?"

When Brother Hua heard this, he laughed so hard: "Hahaha, if you say that, then what you made yesterday and the day before yesterday were already a lie. As someone who often eats Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai dishes, I have to say that they are not as delicious as yours."

It was hard to respond to this, so Wang Fan simply ignored it. He said, "Hmm," "Please sit down and wait for a moment. It will probably take another five minutes. Would you like the ribs alone or the set meal?"

Brother Hua smiled and said, "Let's have the set meal. The Wuxi spareribs are definitely too sweet, and some stir-fried vegetables would be nice to help with the greasiness."

Brother Gang also ordered a set meal and paid for the meal for both of them.

After paying, he didn't sit down on the chair, but just stood there and watched Wang Fan operate.

Wang Fan had already turned on three stoves and placed three iron pots on them.

Brother Gang's face lit up with laughter. "Wow! I thought the stir-fried seasonal vegetables were already cooked, but they're still freshly fried!"

Wang Fan nodded: "Vegetables are only delicious when they are stir-fried."

"If that's the case, can you handle it when there are too many people?"

"If I'm busy, I can easily cook 5-6 portions in one pan. It only takes one or two minutes at most."

While the three of them were chatting, the soup in the saucepan over high heat had gradually become thicker, and reddish-brown bubbles were emerging and bursting in the pot.

"Work together."

At this moment, many more tourists came running over. Brother Gang and Brother Hua were just a little faster, and it was impossible for them to be much earlier than others.

When they arrived in front of the stall, everyone lined up obediently.

Zhuo Qianqian took a small notebook and quickly recorded the order information of these people. One person ordered a set meal, and that person ordered two servings of spare ribs. The information was recorded clearly and concisely. The two of them cooperated very well.
