Chapter 33 Sweet and Sour Pork
Until the food is served.
They still haven't come up with an excuse.
Everyone sat down at the table to eat.
Because of Su Qingxue's arrival, Chen Yuan cooked a few extra dishes.
In addition to sweet and sour pork and clear chicken soup, there is also steamed yellow croaker and boiled shrimp.
There were also two vegetable dishes.
Chen Youyou sat on her own little stool and immediately spotted the sweet and sour pork placed not far in front of her.
So he said excitedly.
"Meat! It's Youyou's favorite meat!"
After all, it's a god-tier dish given by the system.
Chen Yuan made a large plate.
Sweet and sour pork tenderloin has a bright red color, with a golden and crispy outer shell coated with a bright red and tempting sauce, which shines naturally in the sunlight.
It looks incredibly tempting.
Wang Xiulan sat next to Youyou and smiled as soon as she saw the plate of sweet and sour pork.
"This looks delicious. Your dad's cooking seems to have improved. Does he often make this dish for you?"
As a result, Chen Youyou immediately contradicted her.
"This is the first time I haven't had my grandmother."
Chen Yuan: What a good daughter you are, but this little darling is a bit drafty.
Wang Xiulan said with some surprise, "Eh? That's strange. Your father used to always fail at making this dish, how come he can make it so well on the first try?"
As she spoke, Wang Xiulan picked up a piece and placed it on Chen Youyou's plate.
"Try it, whether it tastes good or not, give your dad some encouragement."
As he spoke, Chen Da invited everyone to start eating.
The Chen family has very relaxed rules regarding dining table etiquette.
Although Chen Da is a teacher and looks very serious, he actually has a very good personality and is not too strict with the children's education. Most importantly, although he is a man, he is very meticulous.
Therefore, Chen Da has students all over the world, and many students come back to visit him every year.
Su Qingxue had eaten at Chen Yuan's house a few times when she was taking extra classes in high school, so she was not reserved.
Previously, she came as a student, but now she is coming as a "future daughter-in-law," so she unconsciously feels a little nervous, afraid that she might say the wrong thing.
At that point, the road to winning back her husband will be even more difficult and arduous.
Chen Youyou picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork with children's chopsticks, puffed out her round little cheeks, and blew on it vigorously.
"Whoosh~ It's so hot."
After repeatedly blowing on it to cool it down, Chen Youyou tentatively took a small bite.
When the sweet and sour taste entered her mouth, Chen Youyou's eyes lit up, and she immediately stuffed another big mouthful into her mouth.
Then savor the sweet and sour pork tenderloin.
She also made sure to provide Chen Yuan with emotional support when needed.
"Delicious! Dad's meat is especially delicious, sweet and sour!"
After saying that, she asked Wang Xiulan to put another piece on her plate.
She ate four or five pieces in a row and kept eating, which made Wang Xiulan curious.
"Child, eat slowly. Is it really that delicious?"
"It's delicious! Grandma, you should try some too, it's especially delicious! Dad's meat is especially, especially, especially delicious!"
Chen Youyou's language system is not yet fully developed, so she said "especially" several times in a row.
Seeing that Wang Xiulan didn't touch her chopsticks, she thought her grandmother didn't trust her, so she took the initiative to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork and feed it to Wang Xiulan.
"Grandma, eat this! Grandma, eat this! It's so delicious!"
Wang Xiulan originally didn't want to eat, but Chen Yuan saw through her thoughts and said...
"Mom, don't be reluctant. I made such a big plate especially for her. A few pieces will be enough for her, so please eat as much as you like."
Hearing Chen Yuan say this, Wang Xiulan finally opened her mouth with a smile.
"Oh, my dear granddaughter, Grandma has truly raised you with all her heart."
A large piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin entered my mouth.
Wang Xiulan was stunned the moment her teeth broke through the brittle shell.
This sweet and sour pork is so delicious!
The first taste is the sweet and sour sauce, which is perfectly balanced and evenly coats the entire strip of meat.
It's sour but not astringent, sweet but not cloying.
The first thing you notice is the crispness; the outer layer makes a crunching sound in your mouth. This outer layer is fried just right, golden and crispy, and it's also thin and even.
It effectively locks in the moisture inside the pork tenderloin.
The moment you bite into the tenderloin, the juicy meat bursts in your mouth with its juices.
The tenderloin is juicy and has a good marinating process, which gives it a natural flavor. When combined with sweet and sour sauce, it releases a rich meaty aroma.
As you chew, the aroma of the meat blends with the sweet and sour flavors.
The unique sweet and sour taste instantly spread throughout the mouth.
Every bite offers a delightful experience: the meat is tender, the skin is crispy, and the sweet and sour juices intertwine on the tongue, creating a refreshing yet rich and flavorful taste.
Wang Xiulan was stunned: "Son, you can actually make sweet and sour pork?"
"Of course, was there a second person who went into the kitchen?"
"That's impossible! Your cooking skills are only average. How could you possibly make such delicious dishes? Did you secretly go and learn to cook?"
Chen Da, standing nearby, remarked, "It can't be that bad, can it really be that delicious?"
He also tried a bite of sweet and sour pork, but as a middle-aged man nearing retirement, sweet and sour pork was clearly not on his menu.
But after taking a bite, the look of shock on his face was no less than that of Wang Xiulan.
"Did you really make this? When did your cooking skills become so good?"
Chen Da looked at Chen Yuan with some skepticism, then quickly picked up a few other dishes.
It's just so-so.
very common.
If sweet and sour pork is a delicacy, then the other dishes are nothing special.
The skill level difference is just too great.
As a veteran teacher with many years of experience, Chen Da immediately and instinctively made this judgment.
"Did you buy this sweet and sour pork outside? Who makes such delicious sweet and sour pork? Tell me the shop, and I'll buy it for Youyou next time she comes back."
Chen Yuan said helplessly.
"Dad, I really made this myself, why don't you believe me?"
"Did you really make this yourself?"
"Really, if you don't believe me, go to the kitchen and see. There's still half a bag of ketchup that I didn't finish. I'm going to make it for her next time I come."
Chen Da then believed it to some extent.
Su Qingxue, who was standing nearby, quickly defended her beloved.
"Yes, Teacher Chen, these really were made by Chen Yuan himself. Chen Yuan's steamed buns are incredibly delicious; they sell out every morning—"
Su Qingxue felt a precise and urgent touch on her leg.
She realized she had let something slip and immediately lowered her head, her face flushed red.
Wang Xiulan put down her chopsticks and looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.
"What happened?"
"Selling steamed buns? When did you start selling steamed buns?"
