Chapter 206 205. Thriving Leeks

The boss was in a good mood today and actually got off work on time.

It’s so happy when I don’t have to work overtime. It feels like time is so long.

So when I go home.

Liang Yue got off the bus halfway and went to a supermarket. She stopped at the mysterious raw meat area for the first time and spent 48 yuan generously to buy four large pig's trotters.

He nervously asked the butcher to help him chop it up.

The voice was so soft that the butcher almost didn't hear it. After careful questioning, the butcher readily agreed and raised his big knife to start chopping.

Liang Yue shivered with every chop. The sound of chopping bones was so loud, the movement was so scary and exciting.

When the chopped pig's trotters were packed into a bag and handed to Liang Yue, she was shocked.

Why are there so many?

Put it in the cart quickly and push it away.

Then sneakily open it and take a look.

She thought that someone else's things were also packed for her. The price tags were all on them. If she took them all away, would she be taking advantage, or would she feel guilty?

But when I opened it, I realized all my troubles were in vain.

In the bag was a pile of chopped pig's trotters.

Count carefully, eight toes.

There were really only four pig's trotters that she bought.

So, "Four pig's trotters are actually that much? And only forty-eight dollars???"

Liang Yue felt shocked. This huge pile could make at least six servings of stewed pig's trotters in a restaurant.

One serving costs forty or fifty yuan.

Yesterday, she ate roasted pig's trotters while shopping. It cost 28 yuan for half a pig's trotter...

No wonder the lady across the street looked a little strange when she heard them talking about how cheap this place was and how delicious this place was.

I didn’t feel that way when I made fried rice before, because I bought the pot, bowls, plates, seasonings, rice, etc. all at the same time, and it cost a lot of money. But after making fried rice a few times, I felt it was so expensive.

Now that she has changed to pig's trotters and bought all the things for the house, Liang Yue can finally make a clear comparison. She feels like a thriving leek.

Then Liang Yue went to the seasoning area to look for the marinade packets. The "male sister" said that the marinade packets were the most important for stewing meat dishes, so try to buy good ones.

Expensive is good.

So Liang Yue directly took the most expensive one, which cost 28 yuan.

Just when I felt more balanced, I thought, “So this thing is expensive.”

When I looked carefully, I found that there were ten small packets inside. One small packet can make a large pot, and a pot costs less than 3 yuan.

My mentality collapsed!!!

After shopping, Liang Yue ran home with the things and rushed into the kitchen to start working.

Wash the pig's trotters.

Wash the steamer that has never been used.
Get a large pot of water, pour in the pig's trotters, add cooking wine, and bring to a boil.

Gurgle, gurgle, and soon a layer of grayish-white foam floated on top.

"Ugh, so disgusting." Liang Yue pouted while excitedly scooping out the foam layer by layer with a spoon and running to the sink to throw it away.

It's quite fun.

The foam was cleaned out.

Take out the pig's trotters, pour out the water, and make another large pot of hot water.

Take out the wok, pour in the oil, heat it up and pour in the pig's trotters, sizzle~~
"Oh my god!!"

When the pig's trotters that have not been drained of water are poured into the oil pan, the sound is particularly loud.

Liang Yue was so scared that she ran out of the kitchen, hid in the living room, and patted her chest.

After a while, the noise in the living room died down.

Liang Yue carefully stuck her head out, and good thing~ the kitchen didn't explode.

I ran back to the pot and saw that the oil in the pot had stabilized and the pig's trotters were fine, not on fire or burnt.

She was timid and would not turn the heat high enough when heating oil. She had never dared to turn the gas stove on to the highest setting.

Congratulations, Coca-Cola!
"Oh, I didn't buy Coke. What a loss, what a loss."

Liang Yue muttered to herself as she hurriedly stir-fried the pig's trotters. It was a big pot and she felt so tired from frying it.

But watching the white skin slowly turn red gives me a sense of accomplishment.

It feels almost done.

Liang Yue put down the spatula and opened the most important thing, the spicy sauce.

First, calculate the price.

A can of spicy sauce costs 98 yuan, and the pig's trotters in the pot are equivalent to six servings in a restaurant. One serving in a restaurant costs 50 yuan, but these in the pot only cost 48 yuan. Even if you put in a whole can of sauce, you can still make half the profit.

Cost-effective!

This is how newbies think. They like to compare prices at restaurants with their own prices, and they think the price is cheaper no matter how you calculate it.

In fact, there is no way you can put all the food in one jar.

Liang Yue scooped two big spoonfuls, but it was still less than one third.

After just a few stir-frys, the pig's trotters in the pot were dyed red, and the aroma was so strong.

Hurry up, turn down the heat, pour in hot water, throw in a seasoning packet, pour in light soy sauce, add rock sugar, and sprinkle some salt.

Put the lid on and set an alarm for one hour.

And then...it seems...it's over?

Liang Yue was a little confused. It didn’t seem that complicated. How could it be so simple?
Such a simple piece of pig's trotter and yet they charge me fifty dollars!

Liang Yue got angry and ran back to bed to watch TV and wait.

After watching for a few minutes, he climbed down, put on his shoes, and went out to buy a Coke.

I was even more sad after I bought it. A large bottle only cost more than five dollars in the supermarket, but at the convenience store downstairs, there was only a small bottle, which cost three dollars and fifty cents.

Two bottles of Coke cost almost as much as a pig's trotter.

Pig's trotters are now her price marker. Watch videos and gossip.

When Liang Yue saw a short essay about a young handsome man, revealing that he had a sister-in-law, a male one at that, she immediately turned into a bad boy in a melon field.

I realized it only when the alarm went off, "My pig's trotter!"

Liang Yue quickly ran to the kitchen and lifted the lid of the pot.

Boom~
A large cloud of white mist rolled out and splashed all over Liang Yue's face.

Then a rich aroma wafted out, the aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of stew, much more fragrant than yesterday's fried rice.

The strange thing is that I can’t smell much spiciness. Where are the two big spoons of hot sauce? Where did the spiciness go?
I floated out of the house again, and the child next door was crying again.

Liang Yue was in no mood to wrap the food with breadcrumbs today. She stared at the pot with her mouth watering.

A whole pot of pig's trotters, red, soft and shiny.

Rising and falling in the dark red soup.

Just looking at them makes me want to eat them all.

That's what Liang Yue did. She took out the plate, picked up the colander, and scooped it into the pot.

A big spoonful of stewed pig's trotter, or braised pig's trotter, or something like that.

It was taken out of the pot, dripping with soup, and I couldn't stand it anymore.

Liang Yue quickly put a spoonful of pig's trotters into the plate. One spoonful could fill an entire plate.

Looking at the pot again, there was basically no change, just four pig's trotters, so many.

Throw the colander back into the pot.

Liang Yue took direct action, picked up the fattest piece, and took a bite.

It is soft, chewy and slippery, but the cooking time is a bit short and the texture is a bit firm.

Liang Yue likes this kind of thing which is not particularly bad.

Springy.

But the taste, the skin, fat, gelatinous meat tendons, have been thoroughly absorbed by the spicy sauce, slightly spicy, with a strong fragrance, so good!

"It's a thousand times better than what's served in restaurants outside! Ten thousand times better!"

Two large spoonfuls of spicy sauce were added to a pot of pig's trotters. After a long period of stewing, all the good taste and aroma were melted into the pig's trotters. The spicy smell was not obvious, so it was not wasted, and it all went into the meat and into the mouth.

This spicy sauce is delicious for everything, even stewed insoles are delicious.

What’s more, it’s fresh pig’s trotters.

Liang Yue was overwhelmed by the fragrance after just one bite.

"Hehehehe, I did it, I'm so awesome!" He felt elated.

He quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, ate what was in his hands, picked up the plate and left the kitchen, placing it on the small table in the living room.

Swish~unscrew the Coke.

Ice cola with pure pig's trotters.

The perfect dinner.

Liang Yue had wanted to do this for a long time.

The stewed pig's trotters in restaurants are always served with a lot of vegetables, and there are only a few pieces of real pig's trotters, and they are also served with rice.

Today, Liang Yue decided to be extravagant and not have any rice or vegetables. She only wanted to feed herself with pig's trotters!
This feeding process takes two hours.

Two plates of pig's trotters turned into a table full of bones.

There is still more than half in the pot.

Cool!
The next day, after soaking overnight and letting it cool down, it will taste even better when you eat it.

The soup with rice is also delicious.

This pot of pig's trotters actually resisted Liang Yue's desire to show off. She didn't bring it to the company and ate it herself on Wednesday.

On Thursday, a new set of hot sauces arrived, in four flavors.

She bought vegetables, meat, soy products and hot pot ingredients, tried to stir-fry the hot pot ingredients with spicy sauce, and cooked hot pot at home.

What I bought were all the things I usually eat at hot pot restaurants. It cost me less than a hundred yuan. After washing and cutting, I filled the table with the plates stacked up.

Liang Yue was about to faint. How could she finish eating so much?

Siha~~Siha~~
Liang Yue was sweating profusely while eating. The hot pot base was much spicier than the spicy sauce, and the numbing taste of the spicy sauce was also very stimulating. As someone who couldn't eat spicy food, it was a little bit unbearable for her, but she couldn't stop.

Because this hot pot tastes "15,000 times better" than the ones outside!

What’s even more amazing is that this hotpot is addictive and you can’t stop eating it.

It took Liang Yue three days to finish all the food she bought. She didn't get tired of eating hotpot for three consecutive days and even wanted to buy more food to eat.

Besides, logically speaking, her small body should have given out the alarm long ago if she ate spicy hotpot in such a way.

Stomachache, mouth ulcers caused by inflammation, and inability to urinate are all possible.

But this time, there were no adverse reactions at all.

It is said on the Internet that good chili peppers will not cause irritation, which proves that a small can of chili sauce that costs 98 yuan is really a treasure.

In this case, can we treat people to a meal and give them a scare?
Having satisfied her appetite, Liang Yue was eager to show off.

On Saturday, I bought pig's trotters, vegetables, hot pot base, and cleaned the house.

On Sunday, we'll treat everyone to hotpot.

As for the people she invited, she was a young girl from another place who came to Shenzhen. She didn’t know many people, just her best friends in the company, the older sister opposite, and a few colleagues with whom she got along well.

On Sunday, the guests gathered in the small rental house.

A big pot of spicy pig's trotters, a pot of spicy and delicious hot pot on the induction cooker, and a table full of hot pot dishes.

There were also six or seven friends who exclaimed “Wow~~”, “Wow~~”, “Sha~Sha~” in shock.

Later, everyone in the company was talking about the little girl named Liang Yue, who was a hidden talent. She had great cooking skills but was very low-key. She had been eating takeout with everyone for such a long time.

Until recently, he must have been unable to bear it anymore and revealed a little.

Oh my God, such great cooking skills are wasted working as a clerk in a company.

If you open your own restaurant, you will definitely make a lot of money!
