Chapter 495. An old friend prepared chicken and rice and invited me to his farm
"This first dish is a special part of our Tianhan Banquet. It is the most ceremonial dish today and also the first hot dish. Normally it should be steamed pork with rice flour or crispy meatballs. But today is special, so we served a new dish."

Before the dishes were served, Luo Yihang introduced them and left a comment.

"Oh? What new dish?" Professor Chang asked curiously.

"You will see it presently."

As he was speaking, Master Wang personally brought a large bowl and placed it in the middle of the table.

It is a bowl of greasy, plump, red and fragrant braised pork.

Professor Chang knew how to eat at first glance, and he praised it on the spot, "This meat is delicious, top-quality pork belly, pork belly three..."

Eh, that's not right.

"Why is it the seventh floor?"

"Then I'll have to let my dad tell you about it." Luo Yihang said with a smile.

Zhang Feng was at the table for special employees, so he had to ask Luo's father to do the introduction.

"This is a Rongchang pig. We raised it ourselves. We have raised it for seven months. It runs in the mountains all day long. Today, we slaughtered the pig for the first time to entertain all the teachers and students."

"And there's Chef Wang." Luo's father ushered him aside, "We have one of the best chefs here. He used to be a chef in a five-star hotel. He used all his skills to make this."

Master Wang quickly said politely, "It's mainly because the pig is good and strong. When we were slaughtering the pig this morning, six strong guys couldn't hold it down and almost overturned the boiling water pot."

The two of them boasted in unison and called on everyone to start eating.

Professor Chang and his colleagues were thinking, since the pig was specially slaughtered today, it was too polite, they had to try it.

Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth, then bite it gently with your teeth...

Oh my god!

Everyone's eyes widened.

The gravy blends in the mouth, the lean and fat layers are distinct and each has its own flavor. With one bite, you can taste several different textures, like a violin playing a song in your mouth.

Not to mention the taste, it's indescribable.

The rich meaty aroma, the pure meaty aroma, is so pure and concentrated, repeatedly pounded, kneaded, crushed, and then rolled together again. I don't know how to describe it. It's a completely clean meaty flavor that I have never experienced before.

I feel a little dizzy after eating it, and have a feeling of flying in the clouds.

This is because the taste buds are receiving too much stimulation at the same time and the brain cannot process it.

Of course it could also be an illusion.

If I have to describe it.

There were only about twenty tables for other students.

One after another, loud “F*ck!”

Quality is useless, you have to shout it out to feel good.

Luo Yihang also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and took a sip. He had experience and knew that the braised pork of Rongchang pork did not need to be chewed. The intermuscular fat was particularly abundant, and the meat was soft and smooth, with the best flavor when it was taken a sip.

But when Luo Yihang took a bite of this braised pork made from the pig he raised at home, he almost cursed out loud.

How come it’s so good? It’s several levels higher than what I got from Boss Lin.

The flavor substances are too strong and too much.

The things we raise at home are beef.

I will not sell these more than 60 pigs and will keep them for myself.
-
Luo Yihang picked up a piece of braised pork and put down his chopsticks.

The same goes for Luo's father and Grandpa Luo.

Judging from the situation, let’s focus on the customers first.

Under the stimulation of delicious food, Professor Chang and his friends forgot all about their image and reserve.

He took one chopstick after another and put it into his mouth continuously.

When I came to my senses, the big bowl of braised pork was empty, with only a little soup left at the bottom of the bowl.

Professor Chang's face turned red, but he was still not satisfied. He murmured, "It would be great to have a steamed bun dipped in this soup."

Grandpa Luo Luo laughed out loud, "Not really, not really, there are plenty of dishes."

Soon, the first bowl was taken away and the second bowl came, this time with crispy meatballs.

It’s a freshly slaughtered Rongchang pig. The tenderloin is chopped into a paste, made into meatballs after adding seasonings, and then fried in a pan. Finally, it’s poured with soup. It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and you can’t stop eating it.

Too busy to talk.

Next, there are steamed pork with rice flour, twice-cooked pork, boiled pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, and spicy pig's trotters; one pig can be cooked in many ways.

There are three more kinds of chicken: spicy diced chicken, pepper chicken, and braised chicken.

Boiling fish, steamed fish, pickled fish, the fish that must be served at the Baba Banquet is placed in the middle of the table, which means abundance every year.

If there is fish, there must be shrimps, such as garlic shrimps and fried river shrimps with leeks, and two more dishes.

Then stir-fry seasonal vegetables to refresh your palate and take a break. Then wait for the last big casserole, which is filled with various vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, meatballs, fish roe buns, crispy pork and vermicelli cooked in broth for three hours.

It's called Family Portrait.

The Baba Banquet is popular throughout the southwest, and the format is similar. It is held in the courtyard of a home or in an open space outdoors, with tables, chairs and benches neatly placed, and relatives and friends sitting around the table to share the food together.

But the procedures vary slightly from place to place.

Tianhan is used to celebrating happy events such as weddings and birthdays, which are held at noon.

Funerals are held at night for solemn occasions.

Today is naturally a happy occasion.

And what we serve today is the top grade, called Twenty-Four Dishes.

Eight cold dishes and sixteen hot dishes.

Because we know that the students coming here are from all over the place, we prepare rice, steamed buns and dandan noodles as staple foods, so they can take whatever they like to eat.

Not to mention drinks and water, there are boxes piled up on the side, just get it yourself if you want to drink.

There is no wine.

All the ingredients used are produced in Ping'angou if possible.

There were four chefs in charge, and none of them was willing to give in to the other, competing to show off their real skills.

At this banquet, just eat with all your heart, the aroma will make you dizzy.

Although the dishes were good, there were just too many of them.

The professors at the main table were old, and by the time the fish came, they had already put down their chopsticks and could not eat anymore.

Then we started chatting about what we had seen today, our respective research topics, the development of the industry, and this Pingangou...

And the college students over there have really great appetites.

Not only did he finish all his twenty-four dishes, but he also ran to the main table to get some.

Now that you are here, don't leave.

Those who dare to come to this occasion are all the professors' favorite disciples.

As soon as it appears, it becomes a tool for professors to show off to each other. Who is this person, what are his grades, what achievements he has made in this area, and what is his promising future, etc.

The students were afraid to leave, so they could only put on the most humble smile on their faces, nod and bow to greet the bosses, and serve as tools obediently.

After all the boasting, seemingly scolding but actually praising, seemingly criticizing but actually praising, and Versailles was over, I had to leave with a smile on my face as I carried the dishes.

But I don't know what's behind him.

Luo Yihang winked at Zhang Yue.

"Hurry up and catch him. He is not an ordinary person. Let him teach us how to study and persuade the tutor after entering university. It will be helpful."

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up.

He took Teacher Qu and left, organizing her students to go.

Luo Yihang also left his seat, found Master Wang, leaned over to his ear and whispered what had happened.

Master Wang was surprised and said, "There is such a thing!"

He just likes doing this.

Get started right away and prepare a delicious dish yourself.

He took it and went to find the student.

The plate was placed in front of him and a few polite words were spoken.

How could a simple college student experience this?

Then I saw the expectant eyes of my younger brothers and sisters around me.

I was in a daze and said everything I should and shouldn't say.

Not only how to coax the tutor, but also tips on how to coax the tutor's wife...

all in all.

The banquet was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Everyone was happy.

The college students who came from far away were so full that they held their stomachs and cried out.

Hey.

You've had a good meal, but now it's time to work...
