“Wow! Daddy, what’s this? Why does it look like a bag?”

The Eight Treasure Fortune Bag was served on the table and immediately attracted the child’s attention.

“This is called the Eight Treasure Fortune Bag. An’an, have a taste.”

!!
The adult man said as he picked one for his child.

The child looked left and right before reluctantly putting it into his mouth. After chewing twice, his eyes immediately lit up. “It’s delicious!”

The adult beside him said in surprise, “I thought you don’t eat vegetables?”

As he spoke, he took a bite himself. The crispy and refreshing fragrance of bamboo shoots, the freshness and tenderness of the meat… There were a few ingredients mixed together, and it was indescribably delicious.

“Mmm! As expected of Xu Le, only he can cook such delicious yet simple dishes!”

“My wife’s food is far worse than this. No wonder my child doesn’t like it.”

“Give me another serving!”

“Me too, give me another serving!”

“Pretty lady, I saw that the Double Cooked Pork is still a limited dish on your menu today. Can you serve it now?”

“When eating Double Cooked Pork, you need to eat with rice to satisfy your cravings!”

Lu Yuxi answered, “I’ll rush them in the kitchen. Don’t worry.”

Xu Le removed the white fascia from the fresh meat and started to cut the meat. Each slice was cut about 8 millimeters thick. Li Qing took some scallions, ginger, garlic, and sliced them into slices for him.

Li Qing looked at it doubtfully.

Xu Le understood what he was thinking and explained, “I have to cut the pork a little thicker so that it won’t fall apart when it’s about to be fried. Then, I’ll prepare some carrot strips.”

“Oh, okay.”

The potato starch was mixed with water. After it was separated into layers, the clear water on the surface was poured away, leaving the moist starch that had settled at the bottom.

The pork was sliced and placed in a basin. It was then mixed with salt, pepper powder, and yellow wine. After an even mixing, it was then added with moist starch and a small spoonful of oil to continue mixing.

Then, he poured some oil into the pot and started to heat it up. While doing that, Xu Le took a small bowl and started to prepare the seasoning sauce.

“The original name of the dish is Pot Broiled Meat. It’s considered a famous dish in the Northeast, but it was a dish that was originally created by a chef in the Harbin prefecture in order to entertain foreign guests from Russia.”

Li Qing concentrated on learning at the side and introduced the origins of this dish.

“In order to cater to the tastes of foreigners, the chef used sweet and sour sauce, which is known for its sourness. It tastes sour first, then sweet, and savory afterwards. This dish is highly praised by Russian foreign guests, so it is very popular.”

Xu Le nodded, knowing that he was right.

He continued, “After the plague broke out in Harbin and Mr. Wu Liande successfully managed the situation, he held an International Medical Conference in Liaoning to share his experience. The chef that made the pork dish was called along because he was proficient in foreign cuisine.”
