Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Wangshu wanted to open a restaurant. On the surface, he asked Nanny Xia and Nanny Li to gain a foothold in Wangxianlou by selling various recipes of Ji family dishes. Privately, he was planning to learn from the masters and open a restaurant after he returned from studying - to learn the skills and to be proficient in them.

She likes to eat crispy roast pork, which is one of the main reasons why Nanny Xia left the Ji family and went to Wangxian Tower.

A newly built brick blast furnace, with an iron furnace inside, had just fired its bricks a few days ago. Nearby were various iron wires and rods for securing the pigs, salt for pickling, spices, and, inspired by tiger skin braised pork, sugar, white wine, and a handful of wooden skewers for poking holes.

After removing the internal organs, ribs and excess lean meat, and marinating, poking holes and drying overnight, Nanny Xia and Nanny Li, who got up early in the morning to light the stove, slowly lifted it up and placed it in the iron stove inside the brick stove. The firewood in the gap between the brick stove and the iron stove was ignited, and the heat was transmitted through the iron stove to the texture.

During this process, it needs to be carried out several times, rinsed with cold water, wiped with ingredients, checked for heat, and then roasted in turns from head to tail.

After turning the whole thing upside down, she told Nanny Li, "Sister, you just watch. I'll go take a look." Nanny Xia brought hot water for washing and breakfast and knocked on the door of the main house.

"Enter."

Wangshu had just put on his clothes, "Wow, Ma, you smell like roasted meat!" He sniffed and took a deep breath.

Aunt Xia: ... "You little nose! It'll take another hour!"

After taking a look at the bedroom, he was extremely satisfied with his son-in-law. "Which man would tidy up the house before going out every day? What's more, he is so capable!"

What a talent... Wangshu felt as if he had been put into an oven, burning hot, "Mammy..."

"Miss, please get up earlier in the future! Getting up early is good for your health..."

Oh, your most capable son-in-law didn’t give you the opportunity to maintain your health.

Follow the nanny to add firewood to the fire, fry the ribs, braise the pig's head, pig's trotters, pig's tail and some pig's offal...

"Mammy, this fire is great, it would be great to roast a chicken or a duck!"

Nanny Li went to the entrance of the alley and found a monkey running errands, asking him to quickly buy the chickens and ducks that had been slaughtered.

"Mammy, bury a few eggs in the ashes... roast them..."

Nanny Li immediately buried six eggs in there.

"Wow, so beautiful! Amazing! The crust is starting to peel!"

The two maids smiled happily when they heard this, turned the roasted pig upside down, put the firewood underneath, and roasted it using only the residual heat from the charcoal fire.

The roasted eggs had a special burnt aroma. The three of them said, "Delicious!"

The remaining eggs were immediately buried. The chickens and ducks, which had been pickled for half an hour, were hung in the oven.

When Ji's parents and Qin Xiuyuan, who was holding Ji's second son, followed the incense to the Kitchen God in Daju, the first thing they saw was a whole roasted pig with a golden sesame crust on the big iron plate.

It’s delicious, you can tell at a glance how delicious it is!

Everyone who saw it immediately drooled. Qin Xiuyuan also swallowed.

Everyone then noticed that there were fried ribs next to the roast pork. Roast chicken? Roast duck? Ji Laoer's nose was like a rat, sniffing non-stop, "Yes, yes..."

Wangshu smiled triumphantly, beckoned everyone, and unveiled two large pots of stew. Pow! Fragrant braised pig's feet, pig's head, and offal! He waved again, and pow! Next to it was a small pot of pig's lung and pig's heart soup! There was also a large basin of pig's blood soaking in cold water on the table!

Nanny Xia’s stir-fried pork intestines with white radish and garlic had just come out of the pot when Nanny Li brought out a large bowl of roasted eggs.

In the end, Ji's father walked out of Ju Zaojun, holding his belly and leaning against the wall. The other people also had full stomachs. Once again, they truly experienced the regret of having enough food in their hearts but not enough food in their stomachs.

A month after Wangxianlou blatantly replaced Nanny Xia's fragrant milk tea with its special milk tea and became popular, Ji Shou and Zhang San carried the "Ji's Fragrant Pig" fixed on a wooden board and paraded through the streets, followed by a group of apprentices from the martial arts school carrying roast chicken, roast duck, fried ribs, braised pig's head and braised meat.

"Ji's Fragrant Pig! Crispy skin, tender meat, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and delicious!"

"Ji's Roast Chicken! Crispy skin, tender meat, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and delicious!"

"Ji's Roast Duck! Crispy skin, tender meat, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and delicious!"

…………

Ji's Xiangpiaopiao Roast Pork and Wangxianlou's signature dish, Roast Suckling Pig, immediately became the hottest topics.

"One is a big pig, the other is a suckling pig. How about the same cooking recipe?"

"Oh my, they're both roasted pork, how can they be different?! Everyone knows that Wangxianlou copied Nanny Ji's milk tea, saying that their special milk tea recipe is different from Xiangpiao milk tea! They even lowered the price. Those two Nannies didn't sell much milk tea at Wangxianlou! Now, they've also copied Wangxianlou's signature dish!"

"This Ji's roast pork is a good deal!" Someone asked the price out of curiosity. It was half the price of the suckling pig!

"That suckling pig is expensive!"

"Ji's cuisine is something everyone can afford to eat for a few meals!"

"The sesame crust on this Ji's roast pork is so beautiful! Just looking at the crust, I'm sure the suckling pig would be outshined!"

……

The owner of Wangxianlou who checked the barbecue room three times inside and out...did they have clairvoyance?!

The owner of Shiwanjia, who lives opposite Wangxian Building, came quietly, looking bloated, and specifically asked for roast pork.

A plate of crispy roast pork.

“It’s really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor is delicious!”

Nanny Xia then served a plate of fried tofu and braised pork.

“The tofu soup is rich and juicy, and the roast pork is fragrant but not greasy.”

Wangshu negotiated the deal with his boss with full confidence.

Ji's father, who was digesting his food in the yard, smiled as he watched the men, women, and children who came to buy meat from time to time, including the long-missed second son of the Ji family...

Qin Xiuyuan was sharp-eyed and walked quickly towards him.

"Second son."

Since breaking the siege of the Liao and Dashi Kingdoms, Qin Wu and Qin Xiuyuan have become friends. Upon hearing the news, the two people in the study hurried to the main hall to see Qin Wu.

"Miss Ji, oh no, now you're Madam Qin. Long time no see." He was still dressed like a warrior, with wide sleeves, narrow waist and a solid physique. When he saw people bowing to him, he waved his hand, "Excessive courtesy is in the way. I just came back from a horse race and heard that there was a roasted golden pig parading around the city. Boss Qin?"

Seeing his greedy look and his eagerness to get straight to the point, Wangshu immediately took people to see it. Qin San pursued beauty and he loved food, so he immediately said generously, "Cut all these legs for me. The elbow meat is not tough and won't get stuck in my teeth!" Since there were many adults in the family, he gnawed on the braised pig's head at the table where Ju Zaojun and the other maids usually ate. He ate quickly, not even using chopsticks, but picking it up with his hands and putting it directly into his mouth. "Delicious! It's flavorful, the braise is done well, and the meat is not rotten!"

Qin Xiuyuan accompanied him for a couple of drinks. People came in and out from time to time. Nanny Li was very quick and efficient and cut whatever the customers pointed at. Nanny Xia was in charge of the bulk goods, and Wangshu helped with the accounting and collection of money. The big shots ate on the spot, which caused many customers who came to try the new things to irrationally compare with each other and buy more than usual.

Some of the neighboring children brought their mother to buy some, and Wangshu naturally recognized her, ahem, the one who had scolded her for being played with somewhere... The person being dragged by the children felt a little embarrassed, but the boy shouted loudly, "Come and buy some pig blood cubes," and his big eyes looked forward to handing over the big bowl.
