Chapter 62, Meat! Meat! Meat! !

Just after one o'clock in the afternoon, the two groups met. The two old men each brought a cup of small wine, set up a small banquet, and sat at the small Maza coffee table in the middle of the vacant big kitchen and drank peanuts.

"The two of us took the time to chat while cooking at noon, and decided to add a small requirement to the pork dishes in the afternoon, that is, side dishes with wine, and finish them within an hour. Otherwise, I guess you two will probably want to Do you want to make stewed pork? That is, pig's trotters, braised pork, and Dongpo pork that have been stewed for hours." The old man said with a smile, taking a sip of his wine.

"..., Grandpa is right." Shi Kuan nodded and said.

"Xiaomao, you are about the same." Mr. Li said while picking peanuts.

"Yeah." Li Mao, the youngest of the Li family, nodded and went to pick out ingredients with Shi Kuan.

"Let me tell you, Lao Li, your boss has already lost to my third son who knows how to cook. Now you still want to save face and let your third son fight my boss? Did you forget how miserable your third son lost in the competition last year?" The old man gave Comrade Li a sideways glance.

"You also said that it was last year. There is an old saying that a scholar should be admired for three days, not to mention a year has passed. My third child has worked hard this year, and I have seen it all. Remind you Let's see, the most talented person in our Li family is the youngest who looks the most ordinary. When he competed with your boss, he only learned how to cook for two years."

"Hmm... Really? It seems that the third child is all little monsters." The old man smiled and took a sip of his wine. There was no victory or defeat in his eyes, only relief.

"Old Shi, can you be a little more serious? I feel like I have a hot face with a cold ass."

"Hehehe...Old Li. Learn to enjoy yourself. Now is the time for children. We are old, and it's time for children to fly by themselves. Let's not push them too hard." The old man smiled, Grab a handful of peanuts and peel them.

"Save some for me... I'll take advantage of this small advantage, are you lacking in morality?" Lao Li looked at the peanut plate that was suddenly emptied and said to the old man with a sideways glance.

"..., ah... hahaha. Second child, go get another two catties of peanuts." The old man smiled and waved to Li Wu, a little embarrassed.

Li Wu had already been waiting by the side with a bag of peanuts, boasting to himself, "I really have a vision."

"Hmm." Shi Ke and Li Pin crossed their hands and nodded beside them, their movements super synchronized.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Shi, I've picked it." Li Maoxian came over with pork belly and a series of side dishes.

"Well. Let's go first. It's a skill to pick vegetables quickly." The old man waved his hand, very satisfied.

"Grandpa, I'm fine too." Shi Kuan came over with meat and side dishes.

"Uh... this meat... is interesting. However, the water is a bit too much. Xiao Kuan." The old man cocked his mouth.

"..., no water. Grandpa. This is a new dish I thought of." Shi Kuan put down the meat, grinned, and gave a thumbs up.

"Oh? Oh ho ho ho..., then I'll just wait and see." The old man smiled and took a sip of his wine.

"Look, Grandpa." Shi Kuan raised the kitchen knife and chopped open the pork he had chosen.

The skin and flesh are separated, and the flesh and bones are separated.

Fat meat, lean meat, pig skin, and pig internal organs are all finely divided into several parts, each with a different flower knife pattern.

Cut the onion into small pieces, slice the ginger, smash the garlic, pinch the green onion until soft, roll into rolls, add soy sauce, sugar, refined salt, star anise, fennel, cinnamon and other condiments, stir evenly and pour it on the pork that has been sliced.

"Marinate for half an hour. Twenty minutes is enough for the final step." Shi Kuan wiped the seasoning on his hands with a towel, and looked at Li Mao by the way.

"Gulu Gulu..." Li Mao looked at the boiling iron pot in front of him, concentrating on cooking the pork in the pot with chopsticks, without paying attention to Shi Kuan at all.

"..." Shi Kuan looked at Li Mao's appearance, and smiled knowingly, "It seems that I am not the only one who has made progress. Last year, I was still fried when I provoked..."

"No one will stand still. Do you really think you can beat me with barbecue? Brother Shi!" Li Mao said.

"Your scorching meat is the one who underestimates me." Shi Kuan said with a smile.

"Mine are not ordinary boiled pork."

"My barbecue is not ordinary. Forget it, it's useless to say more, let's see the truth." Shi Kuan set up another pot and began to melt the butter. After the butter is melted, various processed rock sugar, bay leaves and other spices and ingredients are added, and an aroma full of appetite and temptation overflows, sweeping the entire first floor like a tornado.

"Hmm... the smell is really good." The old man rubbed his chin and said.

"Yes. Very good." Mr. Li stroked his beard and nodded.

"Hmm~~, a familiar smell of spicy strips." Shi Ke smelled it and nodded, ( ̄ ̄).

"Hey~~" Several young people next to him looked disgusted.

"Hey! Third! Don't spoil the atmosphere!!" Shi Kuan was so angry that the fat on his face trembled.

"Hehehe..." Shike gave a Xinghei smirk and showed his big white teeth.

"Where did you learn this expression? It looks so stupid!" Shi Fu thought to himself.

"Ah!!" Xingping, who was researching recipes at home, sneezed fiercely, and looked at the two people around him fiercely, "Who is talking bad about me?!"

After a while, the two served the food.

Everyone looked at the two dishes, and all of a sudden the gluttons came up.

Shi Kuan's menu is a pork barbecue platter. There is a clear distinction between fat and lean meat, and various pork ingredients are displayed, like soldiers waiting for inspection. The fragrant fat is flowing slowly on the pork visible to the naked eye, filling the patterns on the pork that are slightly opened due to the heat of the barbecue, and the sizzling sound caused by the residual heat of the fat makes people feel as if they have been teased My heart itches, and a feeling of hunger arises spontaneously.

"My dish is called small whole pig barbecue. Please try it." Shi Kuan pushed his dish forward and said.

"No hurry. I'll look at Xiaomao's dishes again." The old man looked at Li Mao's dishes with a smile, wondering what he was thinking about.

Li Mao's dish is boiled pork. The fatty meat slices, about one finger wide and one finger long, and about two to three millimeters thick, are as frosty as jade, and are placed on the plate in a semicircle like a peacock spreading its tail. In the middle of the semicircle, there are slightly red and white strips of pork belly that are one finger thick and thin and one finger long. A faint smell of meat and wine penetrated into everyone's nostrils accompanied by faint water vapor, which made people shift their attention from the barbecue to this dish.

"Bay leaves, cinnamon bark, tangerine peel, cumin, star anise, refined salt, rock sugar, onion, ginger and garlic, no soy sauce or other condiments. Did you use high-grade white wine instead of cooking wine?" Shi Ke's nose moved, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"My dish is called wine-flavored pork.

This is my special dipping sauce. Please dip it in the sauce before eating. Of course, it is also possible to eat directly. "Li Mao took out a plate of red sauce and a plate of black sauce and pushed them in front of the two old men.

"Yes. Not bad." Mr. Li nodded, and he could tell from his expression that he was very satisfied. "Old Shi, let's taste it."

"Well. Which one to eat first?" the old man said.

"Let's eat your grandson first. He introduced it first."

"Slick enough. Well, as you wish."

"..., why don't you eat my grandson's first. It's like taking advantage of you." Mr. Li closed his eyes and rubbed his temples as he said.

"What did you say?" the old man asked with the barbecue made by Shi Kuan in his mouth.

"..., nothing!! Eat!" Seeing the old man's appearance, Mr. Li was discouraged for no reason.

Mr. Li put the barbecue into his mouth and savored it carefully, "Mmm! The outer skin is crispy and delicious, and the inner fat is fragrant. The smell of barbecue is so strong, but it doesn't feel greasy. It's delicious! It's so delicious!"

"Hmm. Just looking at the appearance, I thought it would be so spicy, but I didn't expect...you would boldly add mint and honeysuckle when marinating. This strong contrast actually contributed to a very interesting taste impact. Boss, You've made a lot of progress." The old man nodded while eating.

"..." Li tasted a piece and stared at it with dead fish eyes, "Shi Kuan, are you going to beat me to death this year?"

"Yeah. I was scared by your dishes last year." Shi Kuan nodded calmly.

"Hehe..., good! You wait for next year!"

After a while, "Hey... it's gone after just a few sips." The old man hadn't had enough of the meal yet, so he drank two more sips of wine to rest.

"Come on. It's just that you snatched too much!" Mr. Li was still talking about his chopsticks, which was really unsatisfying.

"If you can't beat me, you have to blame yourself, go back and practice."

"snort!"

"Next." The old man stretched his chopsticks towards Li Mao's dish.

"Crack!" Mr. Li stopped him with chopsticks, "I'll come first."

"Oh oh oh... you first. Don't look like I bullied you."

"En." Mr. Li picked up the first chopsticks like a child.

The old man was similar, and immediately picked up the second chopsticks.

The two old men looked at each other's actions and smiled at each other, "Eat!"

"Yeah!!! ~ Good!! This dish is well done!!" The two old men ate the first piece of boiled pork and nodded in unison.

"Hmm...hahaha... good luck." Li Mao froze for a moment with an expectant expression, and couldn't help but blushed and scratched the back of his head.

"..." The two old men were not talking, they were scrambling to eat.

Seeing that their food was delicious, Shi Ke couldn't help but picked up his chopsticks and joined the meat grabbing army.

"Stinky boy!! Why are you here to join in the fun?!" The two old men were so angry that they wanted to curse.

"Ah, ah. One piece, just one piece." Shi Ke still had the cheek to take away a piece, walked to the side and started eating, his expression became super enjoyment in an instant.

"Gulu..." Shi Kuan, Shi Fu, Li Pin, and Li Wu swallowed together, and each snatched a piece.

"You brats, you are going to rebel!!!" The old man blew his beard and stared, looking as if he had lost his temper.

"Hmm! Delicious! This meat tastes really good~!" The little ghosts turned a deaf ear and didn't talk while eating.

"Hmm..." When the old man got angry, he stretched out his chopsticks and snatched away the meat that old man Li had picked out, and dipped it in the sauce at the speed of light and ate it in one bite.

"..., ah! You shameless old bastard!!" After being taken aback for a moment, Mr. Li realized that he was so angry.

After a while, the disc operation was successfully completed.

"Hmm~~huh!!" The two old men were having a good meal, and they were lying on their respective chairs, their faces glowing red, with one end of the small wine glass stuffed down.

"..., grandpa finally had a great time eating my dishes! For the first time, I also have dishes that grandpa will approve of!" Li Mao was so happy.

"Old Shi, who will win this round?" Mr. Li was a little elated.

"Your third child won. This dish is a targeted use of my eldest's dishes and our age."

"Yeah. I'm getting older, and your boss's dishes do handle the greasy feeling very well. However, compared with my third's dishes, they are still a bit greasy. If I have to use an analogy, one serving A 100-point test paper meets a 100-point test paper with additional points, so it's just a little bit worse. Hehehe, Lao Shi, your boss lost." Mr. Li was very happy.

"Yeah. The dishes served by the two boys are quite good. It's just that my little Kuan didn't consider the physical condition of our two old men."

"Well. Now one win and one loss, when is the last match?"

"Three hits three. Okay, after the cafeteria closes at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Hmm~~" Mr. Li shook his head and stretched out a finger, "One on one. Don't try to hide it from me anymore. I must know the strength of your second child today."

"do not."

"It's okay for you to admit defeat. Anyway, it's a one-to-one match." Mr. Li looked like he was sure of winning.

"Well. Don't regret it."

"No regrets."

"Then let's change the selection method. We will evaluate after eating all the two dishes." The old man said with a desperate look.

"No problem." Mr. Li nodded with a smile.

Shi Ke, Shi Kuan, and Shi Fu have three emoticons. (w)(⊙x⊙;)(t_t)

"Why do you have such expressions?" Li Pin asked quietly.

"Get the ambulance ready." Shi Ke patted Li Pin on the shoulder and left with a suppressed smile.

"En." Shi Kuan nodded and left with the mournful Shi Fu.

"What do you mean?" Li Pin had a bad feeling at this moment.

Dark clouds began to appear in the sky outside the building, and a strange cold wind blew.
