Sanya's eyes sparkled after taking a small bite, and she looked at Tian Shao and asked: "Sister, this braised pork is so delicious, how was it made?"
I also had braised pork at my uncle’s house, and it was delicious, but it couldn’t compare to this braised pork. I can’t say enough about it.
Tian Shao thought for a moment and said: "Good pork belly, oil, rock sugar, soy sauce, ginger, green onions, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon..."
Sanya was stunned when she heard this and asked: "Sister, how can you make braised pork without using sugar? Also, what are these star anise and fragrant leaves?"
"It's all the seasonings, and it's not the seasoning that makes this braised pork so delicious, it's the chef. This chef's ancestors were royal chefs, and he inherited his father's skill in cooking."
Sanya didn't understand and asked: "Sister, what is an imperial chef?"
Tian Shao explained: "This imperial chef is the chef who used to cook for the emperor. Only top chefs have this qualification."
Sanya understood.
A burst of crying attracted Tian Shao's attention. Seeing Siya eating meat while crying, she asked dumbfounded: "Siya, what's wrong with you? Do you think there is too little meat?"
Siya swallowed the meat in her mouth, wiped her tears and said, "No, this meat is so delicious. Sister, sister, is this the fairy meat that everyone calls it?"
A few pieces of meat could make her cry with excitement, which was too exaggerated. But Tian Shao took this opportunity and said: "Si Ya, there are many more delicious things than this. As long as you study hard and learn the skills, you will be able to eat well in the future."
I can eat it,”
From now on, as long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want.
Siya looked at her, her eyes shining: "Sister, what you said is true? Didn't you lie to me?"
Tian Shao said cheerfully: "What did I lie to you for? Our country is vast and rich in resources, and the cuisines are divided into eight types. Some are sweet, some are spicy, some are light, some are mellow, and the tastes are different but each has its own characteristics.
feature."
"Sister, how do you know so much?"
Seeing the yearning on her face, Tian Shao smiled and said: "I saw these from books. If you want to understand, just study hard. If you don't study, you won't be able to recognize all the words."
This child is useless even if he is beaten or scolded. He is only obsessed with eating, so he can only start with eating.
Si Ya nodded heavily.
Except for Wuya, everyone else had finished eating the braised pork. Li Guihua and Tian Dalin also dried the meat in their lunch boxes. It was so delicious that Tian Dalin finished the meat without realizing it and forgot to divide it.
Give something to the children.
Tian Shao looked at the two pieces of meat in Wuya's bowl, touched her head and asked: "Wuya, the weather is hot now. If you want to save it until tomorrow, the meat will go so rancid that you can't eat it."
When Si Ya heard this, he immediately said: "Wu Ya, instead of letting the meat go rancid, why not let us eat it."
Wuya said nothing, put the meat in her mouth and chewed it, crying while eating.
Tian Shao felt that something was wrong with her behavior, so he squatted down and asked, "Wu Ya, what's wrong with you?"
Wuya just cried and didn't speak.
Erya looked away from the meat in the bowl with difficulty and said: "She must have cried because she couldn't hide the meat. Sister, this meat is so delicious, can you bring it back next time?"
Before Tian Shao could ask again, Li Guihua came out of the house just in time to hear this and cursed: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat? Do you know how much these two portions of braised pork cost, your father's ten days' wages?"
It’s not even enough.”
"I bought it this time to give you a taste. After eating it once a week, you won't be able to survive?"
Tian Shao's heart skipped a beat and he thought she knew, but when he looked over and saw the calm look on his face, he knew she was scaring some of his sisters.
Erya couldn't believe it: "Sister, is it so expensive?"
Tian Shao nodded and said: "That's almost it. Okay, after washing your hands, I want to check your study status these days. If you don't study seriously, you won't be allowed to eat delicious food next time I come back."
Erya immediately showed a guilty look.
After Tian Shao checked, she found that Wuya was the best and Erya was the worst. She expected that Erya didn't study well. After all, Erya felt that studying was useless. She didn't let it go even if she was forced to work.
She changed her mind.
Thinking about the taste of the braised pork, Erya could not help but salivate: "Sister, please give me another chance, and I will definitely learn to read well."
Tian Shao shook his head and said: "No, you have to abide by the rules set. If I give you a chance this time, Si Ya must follow suit next time."
Si Ya was very glad that she persisted.
Tian Shao took out a piece of shortbread from the green cloth bag and handed it to Wu Ya. He said with a smile: "The one who learns the best will be rewarded. Sister keeps her word."
Tian Shao bought this shortbread at a grocery store. As for the tickets, he exchanged money for glutinous rice balls.
Si Ya became anxious as soon as she saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister, eldest sister, I want to eat too."
"I said, only those who perform best will be rewarded. From now on, if you study hard, I will give you shortbread if you make great progress."
"Sister, we have an agreement."
"Sister, you keep what you say."
In the evening, Tian Shao came to teach Erya and the others how to read. Tian Shao was very strict in class, and Erya and the others did not dare to be naughty, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Li Guihua saw that her sisters hadn't gone to bed for most of the day, so she came over to remind them: "Da Ya, they have to go to work tomorrow. If they don't sleep, they won't be energetic tomorrow."
After washing up, Siya stood at the door and hesitated for a long time. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, the door opened.
Wuya asked strangely: "Fourth sister, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in and tell me something!"
Si Ya thought for a moment and then entered the house.
Seeing the way she was hesitant to speak, Tian Shao knew that something was wrong with her, but she didn't ask but deliberately said: "Siya, it's almost nine o'clock, go back to bed quickly."
Si Ya mustered up her courage and said, "Sister, the food today was so delicious. I want to learn to cook in the future."
When Wu Ya heard this, she said rudely: "Fourth sister, who dares to eat the food you cook! Fourth sister, you should give up this unrealistic idea!"
Regardless of her talent, she looks so dirty. Who would dare to use chopsticks to cook the food she cooks? Well, someone who doesn't know might eat it, but she would definitely not dare.
The light in Si Ya's eyes quickly dimmed.
Tian Shao did not undermine Si Ya's confidence. It was a good thing to want to be a cook, but he was afraid that he would be like Er Ya who only wanted to marry a good man. Neither parents can be relied upon forever, let alone a creature like a man: "Why
What if you suddenly want to be a chef?"
Si Ya didn't hide anything, and said: "If I learn how to cook, I can make all kinds of delicious food in the future."
Tian Shao laughed because he wanted to satisfy his appetite: "It's okay if you want to be a cook, but you have to do two things first. The first thing is to pay attention to hygiene in the future and stop acting like a monkey all day long.
, it must be clean and neat; secondly, it must be studied hard.”
Si Ya understood the first one, but she didn't understand the second one: "Sister, just learn how to cook from the master. What does it have to do with studying?"
"Can you understand recipes without studying?"
Si Ya nodded and said, "Sister, I will pay attention to my hygiene and study hard in the future."
Tian Shao said with a smile: "You are still young, so don't worry, study hard first. In two years, I will find out about a chef who wants to take on an apprentice. Then I will bring you a try."
