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

Chapter 568 - Three Days to Make a Pot of Soup
"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't go."

"Ah? Teacher Wang, how about you reconsider? Our program is very well-known and will definitely be helpful to your development."

Wang Fan remained unmoved: "Sorry, I'm just a nobody and don't have any ideas for development. I'm fine now."

He continued to persevere on the phone: "Teacher Wang, you must not know the status of our program. Let me tell you this, many popular stars are begging to be on our program every day..."

Wang Fan smiled directly and said, "Then give these people a chance. I won't go. I have more meaningful things to do here. Goodbye."

After saying that, Wang Fan hung up the phone.

Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, the staff of the program team were dumbfounded.

This is the number one variety show right now!
How could anyone refuse?!

How many big-name celebrities have approached their production team just to show their faces, only to be rejected by an ordinary person?!
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?

Wang Fan put down the phone and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

He knows his own personality. Firstly, he is not adapted to that kind of environment. Secondly, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to say something against his will or do something against his will according to the script.

We have just set the goal, it can’t be broken in a short while, right?

However, this phone call made him a little curious about the show. Now even cooking can be on a variety show?
I took out my phone and searched it, and sure enough, I saw this variety show.

"This pork elbow wasn't cooked with a single drop of water. It was boiled with two kilograms of rice wine..."

In the trailer, a man in his forties is sitting by a road and talking.

Wang Fan looked at the contents of the pot and fell into deep thought.

If I'm not blind, this thing should be called pig's trotter? It can't be pork elbow, right?
Even if it has different names, pig's trotters can be called pig's hands at most. Wang Fan has never heard of any other names for it.

As for pig's trotters, pig's elbows, and in the south they may also be called pig's feet, they are all referring to pig's elbows.

However, the photo was taken from a distance, so there might be chopped pork elbows in the pot.

Wang Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with the technique of stewing rice wine and rock sugar. Dongpo pork was made using this technique and was quite popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

Just seeing the back, Wang Fan couldn't help but grin.

Frying the pig's trotters first and then adding rock sugar to make sugar color is not a bad idea, but it's a bit too common and only people who don't know how to make sugar color would do this.

If you do this, the sugar color won't be fried thoroughly, resulting in neither color nor aroma. The only consequence is that the dish will definitely be very sweet in the end.

When Wang Fan saw the bottle of cooking wine that the man took out, he was really a little confused.

That's cooking wine, not rice wine!
It is true that the main ingredient of cooking wine is rice wine, but cooking wine has been adjusted with the addition of onions, ginger, salt and various spices. It is not the semi-sweet rice wine brewed from pure grains.

Moreover, the temperature of that small stove is limited. If you use this temperature to stew pig's trotters and elbows with pure cooking wine, the stewed pork will have a dull smell. Wang Fan can already imagine that smell.

Well, it’s better to cover it and stew it at a low temperature, with cooking wine and sugar color that is not fried thoroughly.

Bitterness is bitterness, sweetness is sweetness, and boredom is boredom.

"Wow... Ooooh... Perfect!"

Hearing everyone's praise while eating, Wang Fan couldn't help but cover his face.

Acting is not something that everyone can do!

Look at their superb acting skills, there is no sense of incongruity, it's like eating delicacies from land and sea.

Such a big show is just like this?
When Wang Fan saw this, he decisively turned off the video, and at the same time he was extremely glad that he had rejected the invitation to the show.

Whoever wants to go can go!

Wang Fan, feeling that his profession and intelligence were insulted, decisively went to the kitchen of the bus.

There was a pot of delicious food waiting for him, which had been prepared for more than 50 hours.

With a legendary golden recipe in hand, Wang Fan naturally wanted to try making it. After simulating it countless times in his mind, he started making it three days ago.

The aroma of meat from the altar wafted across the air to the neighbors, and the Buddha, upon hearing it, abandoned his greed and jumped over the wall to come.

It combines the best of land and sea, and is known as the number one and king of Fujian cuisine - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!

This dish is extremely complicated to prepare and the steps are extremely time-consuming. Wang Fan is also very much looking forward to this masterpiece.

First, eight kinds of ingredients are blended into a pot and cooked into a soup, and then ten kinds of dazzling ingredients are presented on the noodles, making people feast on them.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was originally named Fu Shou Quan, but because of the pronunciation of Fuzhou dialect, it became Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the ears of outsiders.

When the locals heard that this name sounded more profound, they simply changed it.

This dish can be said to be the most attentive and complicated one that Wang Fan has made in all this time.

On the first day, you should stew soup with local chicken, Muscovy duck, pig's trotters, pig skin, pork, dragon bones, chicken feet and crucian carp.

And you can't just put it all into the pot and stew it, you have to put it in two batches.

The first time you make a milky white soup, add more bones and simmer over high heat for two hours, then add the fried crucian carp.

In the last hour, you have to make the soup, which means stirring it continuously to grind all the raw materials into pieces and blend them perfectly with the soup. Then you filter out all the impurities and you get the soup from the first day.

The next day, Wang Fan changed the wine into clear soup, and then removed the oil and residue to get the golden soup. He used a whole bottle of rice wine and did not add a drop of water.

After pouring the water, he lit a fire on the soup. The orange-yellow flame burned on the soup for more than half an hour before it went out naturally.

Then it’s simmered for another eight hours.

Then freeze the soup and remove all the fat floating on the surface. By the time I finished this step, two days had passed without me noticing.

The last step of stewing the soup only takes two hours. After the final stewing, Wang Fan prepares to move the food to the vegetable market to complete it.

There is one thing that makes us feel a little sorry for our diners, that is, this jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is only available to people over 60 years old.

This dish cannot be included in the Northeast lunch box. If it is included, no matter how much money you have, you will not be able to compensate for it.

This seems to be a full jar, but Wang Fan estimates that it is only enough for 100 servings at most, and each serving will not be too much.

The jars, soup and ingredients weigh at least 200 kilograms. It is definitely impossible for Wang Fan to do it all by himself, so he asked Brother Gang for help.

Brother Gang readily agreed, on the condition that he get a free meal.

It’s not that I can’t afford the food, but it’s fun to get something for free for a while, and it’s fun all the time if I keep getting something for free.

"Brother Wang, what's in this jar?"

Feeling the heavy weight in his hand, Brother Gang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall." These three simple words made Gang Ge open his mouth wide. "Wow, you're willing to make such a hard dish? This jar must cost tens of thousands, right?"

Wang Fan chuckled, "About the same, but a lot of people still give extra money these days, so it doesn't cost that much in the end."

Brother Gang gave a thumbs up and said, "No wonder you get along so well with Brother Wang."

The two of them chatted while carrying the big jar inside, attracting the attention of vegetable farmers and shoppers on the road, wondering what kind of medicine Wang Fan was selling in the jar.

Wang Fan didn't explain. When this delicacy was completely finished, it would tell everyone what it was.

When he arrived at the stall, Wang Fan took out the golden soup jelly in a bowl.

Put the golden soup that has been scraped clean of oil on the chopping board. The dark golden golden soup shakes and dances like jelly.

Use a knife to cut the golden soup jelly, which is very delicate without any bubbles or impurities. After cutting, heat it to turn it back into soup.

Fish sauce is used for seasoning and dark soy sauce is used for coloring, nothing else is added.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is stewed in a jar. After the soup is melted and boiled, abalone, sea cucumber, scallop, flower mushroom, fish maw, fish lips, winter melon, pigeon eggs, tendon and conch head are all added into the jar.

In the past, this dish also contained shark fin, but Wang Fan himself was very disgusted with this thing. He thought it was purely something that was forced out by capital. Moreover, this thing has now been legislated, and Wang Fan is a law-abiding citizen.

As time went by, more and more people came into the vegetable market, but the sounds of bargaining and conversation became quieter and quieter.

A mellow, rich, and extremely delicious aroma gradually began to spread in the vegetable market.

Everyone looked at Wang Fan's stall and the huge jar from time to time.

The flavor has the mellowness of meat and the freshness of seafood, and the two flavors are cleverly blended together to create a soul-stirring delicacy.

Brother Gang has been staying by the jar, and now he feels his nose is not enough.

Fortunately, all the pores on my body are open at this time, greedily absorbing this pure and perfect fragrance.

As the stewing time prolonged, the concentrated aroma of the dried goods such as abalone, sea cucumber, fish maw, scallops, tendons, etc. gradually released more and more, and the aroma became more and more intense. Everyone turned to look at the jar, and time seemed to be frozen in an instant.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Fan placed his hand on the lid of the jar and lifted it slightly.

"call……"

Wang Fan felt as if an extremely fierce hurricane was blowing on his face. The rich and extremely fragrant smell was enough to make him fall over.

The delicious flavors of meat, seafood, mushrooms, and various other ingredients were activated, squeezed, and blended, surging out the moment the lid of the jar was opened. The variety of flavors, the rich layers, and the delicious aroma were absolutely something Wang Fan had never seen before in his life.

Moreover, all the ingredients have been blended together to form a variety of unique delicacies, and he cannot even deduce the ingredients with his nose.

Brother Gang is now a little doubtful about his life. At that moment he feels that the anime has come into reality.

The moment Brother Wang opened the lid, he felt as if his long hair was rustling in the wind as if blown by a strong hurricane.

But that's absolutely impossible because his hair isn't that long.

But that extremely fragrant and rich aroma really gave him the feeling that his sense of smell was no longer enough.

It felt like cats could only see a few colors, so in their sight the world was all blocks of color. My nose was not sensitive enough, and I couldn't smell the limit of this fragrance at all.

But he can tell everyone responsibly that in all the restaurants he has eaten at, there has never been a delicacy that has given him such a big impact.

Just by smell!
This is truly incredible!

It's not like he hadn't eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before, but he had never encountered one that could make him fall over.

If you could taste this thing, it would be worth it to be straight for the rest of your life, right?
but……

It seems like I don’t have a share in this damn thing?!

"Suck……"

"Suck it up..."

"Suck, suck, suck..."

It seemed like everyone in the vegetable market was playing a game together - who had the bigger lung capacity?

The sound of taking a deep breath, the heaving chest, the closed eyes, the identical expression of being intoxicated, all indicate how successful Wang Fan's pot of ancient Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the first golden legendary delicacy made by Wang Fan himself, is!
Wang Fan had recovered and was taking out long chopsticks to put the ingredients into the bowl with incredible precision. After two hours of simmering, all the ingredients had become chewy and springy.

The colors and shapes of ingredients such as sea cucumber, abalone, and fish maw complement each other in the bowl, making it look very pleasing to the eye.

Finally, place a few pigeon eggs on the table, then use an iron spoon to scoop a spoonful of golden soup from the jar and slowly pour it over the food. The golden soup sparkles like a golden ribbon under the blessing of sunlight and light, and the food that is sprinkled with the golden soup also begins to sparkle like stars.

"Golden Legend!"

That brainwashing line automatically popped up in everyone's mind, and no one felt anything was wrong.

"Grandpa Jiang, Miss Li, and all the grandpas and aunts, this is a dish I prepared for you with the extra money our Fog City's youngest child and youngest sister gave me these past few days. It's called "Fu Shou Quan." My Fog City descendants and I are deeply grateful for the contributions of your generation, and we also hope that you will enjoy a long and healthy life in the days ahead."

Compared to the name Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Fu Shou Quan has a better meaning and is much less well-known. This way, it is not easy for the elderly to understand its value when eating it, and they do not have a big psychological burden when eating it.

If they knew that the small bowl in Wang Fan's hand was worth hundreds of dollars, it would be strange that they could eat it with peace of mind.

As soon as Wang Fan said this, the eyes of many grandpas and aunts became moist. At this moment, they seemed to feel a warmth they had never felt before.

Grandpa Jiang's hands, which were originally skinny but very steady, began to tremble a little at this moment, which showed how excited he was.

Looking at the strange and unfamiliar things in the bowl, Grandpa Jiang couldn't bear it and asked, "This bowl is not cheap, right?"

He was afraid that Wang Fan would lose too much.

Wang Fan laughed heartily: "Don't be fooled by the aroma. It smells so good purely because of my cooking skills. This bowl is just some worthless dry goods. It's not worth much, so you can eat it without worry."

Brother Gang rolled his eyes. He was not afraid of telling the truth or lies, but he was afraid of mixing lies with the truth.

When others say that they are good at cooking, they may think they are bragging, but what Brother Wang said is just the truth. As for the rest, they are pure lies.

However, he also understood Wang Fan's intention and agreed with a silly smile: "Uncle, just eat it. These things are not worth much and are good for your health. Black bugs like these are everywhere in the mountains and plains of their hometown in Northeast China. Our national football team eats them every day."

Wang Fan looked at Brother Gang stiffly. If a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a simple face tells lies, it is too deceptive.

Mount Everest is as high!

Whose sea cucumbers grow on the mountain? And they are all over the mountain?
The one on Changshan is called Changbai Mountain Ginseng, not Liaoning Sea Cucumber.

But you know what, it's easy to be believed when this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes speaks. After hearing what Brother Gang said, the expressions of Grandpa Jiang and the other grandpas and aunts obviously became more relaxed.

Fortunately, Wudu is not a coastal city and there are not many seafood vendors in this market, otherwise it would have been exposed.
