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

Chapter 582 - Daocheng Yading's Super Tibetan Fragrant Pork Twice-cooked Pork

"Sha..."

"Sha..."

When the numbing taste of Sichuan pepper accumulates to a certain level, it can feel like an electric shock in the mouth, causing a slight numbness. This can reduce a person's sense of taste, but this doesn't apply to chili peppers, which stimulate pain, not taste.

The chili peppers constantly irritated the oral mucosa, and the burning sensation caused large beads of sweat to ooze out of the foreheads and chests of the people outside the car.

After your mouth gets used to the numbness and spiciness, the unique flavor of beef and broth will begin to repair your damaged taste buds.

It's like being hit with a stick and then being given a sweet date.

But I have to say, this sense of contrast is really hard to get rid of.

The diners are too lazy to talk at this time. It is absolutely impossible to praise the real food endlessly when it comes to eating it. They must eat it all first and then talk.

Any words are pale and powerless. Licking the plate until it can be used as a mirror is the highest level of expressing how delicious the dish is.

This is what the first round of diners look like now.

The crystal-white porcelain spoon pushed the tender white rice grains back and forth, covering all the red oil that seeped from the bottom of the plate. He put his mouth close to the edge of the plate and took the last bite of the rice soaked in red oil into his mouth, enjoying the pleasure of the last bite. Finally, he exhaled and burped, put away the cutlery, patted his belly and showed a satisfied smile.

"This is Mapo Tofu, this is what our Sichuan cuisine should be like."

"Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, smooth, tender, whole, and hot—the eight-character mantra is perfectly reflected in Boss Wang's plate of mapo tofu."

"This is the ceiling of Sichuan Mapo Tofu! Even Chen Mapo should learn from Boss Wang. Even if the king came, I would dare to say so!"

"This is the mapo tofu I've always dreamed of! It's so delicious I can't stop eating it."

The eldest brother wiped his mouth with a tissue before leisurely taking out his phone and sending a message: "Everyone, hurry to the Emeishan parking lot. We've captured a wild king Boss. I've already tasted the authentic Sichuan Mapo Tofu I made today. It's the best delicacy in the entire province. First come, first served!"

Weibo was already bustling at this time. After all, the day was almost over, and no one had found any trace of this most powerful wild food boss.

"Fuck you, you idiot! What about sharing what we have? You're obviously saying this after you've finished eating. You have no shame!"

"Hahaha, I'm in Mount Emei right now. I'm going to find the cable car to go down."

"We strongly condemn the selfish behavior of the OP!"

"We'll deal with them later. Luckily, I'm not far away and should be able to get there in an hour. Brothers, help me hold Boss Wang back. I'm definitely going to eat this authentic Mapo Tofu!"

Wang Fan had already forgotten how many servings of Mapo Tofu he had made today. Anyway, he had steamed the rice many times, and after working hard for most of the day, not a single piece of tofu was left.

Although Mount Emei is a very famous scenic spot, places like this are actually relatively far away from human habitation. In addition to tourists coming down from the mountain, there are actually many diners who come here specifically from the city.

It is common for some gourmets to drive hundreds of kilometers for a delicious meal. As long as what they eat is worth their efforts, it is enough to make them feel very satisfied.

Wang Fan’s golden legendary Mapo Tofu naturally did not disappoint them. Not only did it not disappoint them, it far exceeded their expectations.

"Looking at the dedication Boss Wang put into cooking, this dish definitely won't be bad. It's definitely a masterclass."

"With that kind of focus, let alone cooking, he could be successful in any other field. Otherwise, why would he be so famous?"

"The only thing that makes me sad is that as a Sichuanese, the best Sichuan food I've ever eaten in my life was made by someone from another province."

"It's okay, we're not the only victims. Our friends in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were hurt even more. They ate authentic Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine in Guizhou, hahaha."

Today's meal is a real treat for everyone.

Their original plan was to visit the Giant Panda Breeding Base on the second day, and then go to Daocheng Yading on the third day. This way they could spend half a day watching the cats and half a day traveling, without any delays.

But after checking the weather forecast, I found that tomorrow is actually the last good day this week. After tomorrow, most of the days will be cloudy or even with light rain.

In a place like Daocheng, the scenic area is not the same on sunny days and cloudy days. You must go when the weather is clear. The two of them decisively changed their itinerary and headed to Ganzi overnight.

Wang Fan actually knew about Ganzi.

Although Daocheng is the most famous scenic spot in Ganzi, the popularity of this place is really high because the director of the Ganzi Culture and Tourism Bureau personally shot a promotional video.

Director Liu is a genuine Kangba man. Although he is already middle-aged, he has maintained an excellent figure and has a tough and handsome appearance. In the Ganzi tourism promotional video, he is dressed in ancient costume with a long sword on his waist, holding a white horse in his hand, and walking slowly through the picturesque scenery. He instantly fascinated thousands of middle-aged and elderly women, and also gained a group of fans, which really made Ganzi's cultural tourism a big hit.

Mount Emei is quite far from Daocheng Yading, but there is no need to plan anything for this kind of weather that is hard to come by. You are extremely lucky to come across it, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.

Daocheng Yading is said to be a place where you will regret it for the rest of your life if you don't visit, and you will regret it for eight lifetimes if you come. The reason for this is not because the scenery does not live up to your expectations, but mainly because it is really tiring to visit here.

The endless roads are really unfriendly to office workers who always sit in the office.

Zhuo Qianqian wanted to come here mainly because she was influenced by a movie a few years ago, the movie adapted from the novel "Passing by Your World". She didn't know how many people had a good impression of this mysterious and romantic place, and she wanted to bring the person she thought was right here to take a walk and have a look.

Daocheng Yading, Yading is Tibetan, meaning "sunny land", and here it means "holy land".

This place consists of three sacred mountains, "Xiannairi, Yangmaiyong and Xianuoduoji" and the surrounding rivers, lakes and alpine meadows.

The landscape here maintains a purity that is almost extinct on Earth. Its unique geographical location and pristine natural scenery have earned it the reputation of "the soul of China's Shangri-La" and "the last pure land on Earth."

Bring your loved one here to see the blue sky, the white snow-capped mountains, the golden grass, and the fairy tale world of autumn.

Wang Fan felt that if he really liked a girl, it was really necessary to bring her here for a walk and a look.

"I hope to have someone like you, like the refreshing wind in the mountains, like the warm light in the ancient city..."

When this sentence is said in Daocheng Yading, you can really feel the refreshing breeze and bathe in the warm light of the ancient city. Love can be materialized at this moment.

But one thing is that you still need to bring an oxygen tank here because the altitude here is really high.

The best thing about Wang Fan's travels is that he doesn't have to worry about accommodation and food. These two points are probably the most criticized in any scenic spot, and Daocheng Yading is definitely no exception.

But apart from these external factors, Wang Fan felt that the environment here could only be described as a fairyland.

The two of them had already strolled to Luorong Ranch. September and October are definitely the most beautiful months of the year at Luorong Ranch. The stretches of plateau meadows have turned yellow, and the water plants surrounding the plateau lakes have also transitioned from a pleasing green to a charming golden color.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance are majestic and magnificent, white clouds are floating in the blue sky, the grass under your feet is like a golden avenue, and a lazy old cow is lying leisurely on the grass looking at the scenery.

Occasionally chewing some dry grass and mooing a few times makes this place seem more lively.

"It's all here."

"Everyone is here!"

"Everyone is here!"

This sentence was like a curse, lingering in Wang Fan's ears.

It wasn't that he was hallucinating, but that the tourists were panting and cheering themselves up.

It is easy to feel short of breath in the plateau environment, so everyone carries an oxygen tank and takes a few breaths from time to time to calm their violently beating hearts.

Wang Fan felt that "eyes in heaven, legs and feet in hell" was the most appropriate way to describe the current state of these people.

The Daocheng Yading long hiking route is 11 kilometers long and takes 5 to 7 hours to go back and forth. The main attractions at the end are the Milk Lake and the Five-Colored Lake. Wang Fan and his friend did not continue to walk inside, but walked hand in hand on the golden grassland of Luolong Cattle Farm.

The purpose of traveling is to find the poetry and distant places that one longs for in one's heart. This grassland has already met the requirements of the two people, and the magic spell of "since we are here" does not work on them.

But the main reason was that we had just finished visiting Jiuzhaigou and had previously visited Sailimu Lake. In front of the "last tear of the Atlantic Ocean", the lake environment in the last pure land on earth pales in comparison. There was really no need for the two of us to risk altitude sickness and continue climbing in.

It was just noon when we came out of the ranch. After returning to the RV, we naturally started today's stall setting task.

I won’t do anything else today, I’m just going to make a simple dish of twice-cooked pork.

If Sichuan people have to choose a dish to compete with Mapo Tofu, the vast majority of people would choose Twice-Cooked Pork.

For them, this dish is the kind of delicacy that makes them feel like something is missing if they don’t eat it for two days.

You can’t miss eating hot pot, playing mahjong, and eating twice-cooked pork.

It really takes a bit of courage to make this dish in Sichuan, because every household can cook it, and the taste of each household is different. It is almost impossible to satisfy everyone when everyone has different tastes.

However, Wang Fan was very excited. How could the joy of pursuing the improvement of his cooking skills be stopped by one or two failures?

And...I may not lose!
The only thing Wang Fan felt sorry for the diners was that this dish would be very expensive today!

Daocheng Tibetan Fragrant Pig, also known as "Ginseng Pig" is called "Treasure of the Plateau". It is the only grazing pig breed in China. It grows in the plateau area at an altitude of 3000 to 4000 meters and mainly feeds on natural wild edible plants and fruits.

It takes one and a half years for a pig to grow into an adult, and the average weight is less than 1 kilograms. The market price is usually around 50 yuan per catty. Even with the three buffs of system blessing, purchase at the place of origin and a large number of discounts combined, Wang Fan's catty of pork still costs 100 yuan.

He bought 200 kilograms, or 197 portions, but could only sell portions.

After all, I have worked hard for half a day and I must taste it. As for the other two portions, my girlfriend is still growing, so it is reasonable for her to eat one more portion.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods, but if high-end ingredients are combined with the most delicious cooking methods, the result is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

Wang Fan discovered the uniqueness of this pork when he was cooking it.

When other pork is cooked without adding cooking wine, spices, etc., it will generally have a strong or weak fishy smell. However, the pork of the Daocheng Tibetan Fragrant Pig not only has no fishy smell, but also has a light fragrance.

The pork muscles in the water are shiny, bright red and uniform in color. The fat part is milky white and slightly transparent. Its appearance alone is far superior to all the pork Wang Fan has ever touched before.

"Wow, I feel like anything I cook with this pork won't taste bad."

Zhuo Qianqian's family of three are not believers and do not have a tradition of not eating pork. She had eaten a lot of it in the past. Looking at the perfect appearance of Tibetan pork, Zhuo Qianqian was eager to try it.

Wang Fan's words were even more extreme: "This meat would taste just fine if you boiled it in plain water and ate it directly."

Not only did he say this, he also did it. When blanching twice-cooked pork, onions, ginger, and cooking wine are usually added to remove the fishy smell, but Wang Fan's pot only contained water and pork, without any seasoning. He even felt that with the blessing of such perfect pork, this dish might still be able to challenge the gold level.

Zhuo Qianqian didn't do it in the end. This perfect ingredient could only realize its value in the hands of the boss. If it became a dish in her hands, the pig would probably cry if it knew about it.

Daocheng Tibetan Fragrant Pigs have a certified origin, and there are strict requirements for any steps after they are marketed. When Wang Fan cooks the meat, there is even very little blood foam.

After the meat had been cooked for about 20 minutes, Wang Fan keenly smelled a slight change in the aroma of the meat and immediately took the meat out of the pot.

Pressing the pork with a ruthless iron hand, the sharp kitchen knife slowly moved down, and thin slices of meat began to spread on the chopping board.

The pork was just 0.2% cooked at this time. The cm thick slices of meat showed not only the translucent white fat, but also a hint of pink on the muscle texture.

"Clap clap..."

Wang Fan is now making lunch for the two of them. After cutting the meat slices, he put the garlic sprouts on the chopping board and slapped the bottom of the garlic sprouts a few times.

The flavor of the garlic sprouts is the strongest at the end, and because it is thicker, it is not easy to cook. Patting it a few times can make the flavor come out quickly and make it easier to cook.

Cut the garlic into segments, add cold oil to a hot pan and put the meat slices into the pan. The fat in the meat slices will slowly come out and the meat slices will begin to become curled.

There was still no seasoning in the pot at this time, but just the fat from stir-frying the pork made the entire RV filled with fragrance.

Fermented black beans and fermented broad beans are stir-fried, sweet bean paste adds flavor and removes greasiness, and white sugar makes the dish softer while also enhancing the flavor.

Put the chopped garlic sprouts into the pot and stir-fry quickly for a few times. Lift the iron pot and use the iron spoon to slide it along the pot. The twice-cooked pork in the pot is firmly placed on the white rice that Zhuo Qianqian has just prepared.

"Hiss...it smells so good..."

Zhuo Qianqian took a deep breath of the air filled with the rich aroma of meat, and felt that in that instant she was so hungry that she could eat a whole cow.

The saliva in my mouth was on the verge of being uncontrollable, and the look in my eyes as I looked at the twice-cooked pork seemed to be able to pull out threads.

It seems like there is a big word "greedy" engraved on his forehead.
