Chapter 389 Dongpo Meat

Shi Dahai had even roughly made the large copper pot that was half a story high that was requested, and invited Xia Mingyue to come over and take a look.

To make such a large copper hot pot beautiful and elegant, the copper making technology is much more demanding than the small hot pot used for ordinary hot pots.

The large copper pot made by Shi Dahai is round and beautiful. Even the patterns on it are exactly the same as those of a small copper hot pot that is enlarged in proportion. At the same time, it appears more majestic, clear and beautiful because of the enlarged size.

Anyone who sees it will be dazzled.

Xia Mingyue was deeply moved and expressed her full appreciation for Shi Dahai's craftsmanship.

Manager Fu was also amazed, but also a little confused, "Such a large copper pot would only be used by dozens of people eating hot pot together. I'm afraid it's not practical."

Normally, there wouldn't be so many people going out to eat together. If so many people were to eat together, they would definitely have a banquet at home to show their closeness.

Moreover, there might not be enough space in the shop to put such a large copper pot.

Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "This big copper pot is not for use, but to be placed in front of the shop to attract business."

Soliciting business?

Manager Fu was stunned at first, but then his eyes lit up.

Yes, placing such a large copper pot next to the door immediately shows the specialty of their shop. Moreover, the copper pot looks beautiful and novel, so people passing by will definitely take a look at it.

When doing business, the most important thing is popularity. Once you have enough popularity, why worry about bad business?
Manager Fu rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Mrs. Xia, this is a good idea. I think we don't have to wait until all the big copper pots are finished. We can put one at the door first. It will be more attractive!"

The big copper pot looks impressive when it is fully finished and placed at the door, but many people cannot guess what it is before it is finished, which arouses people's curiosity even more.

With curiosity, people will speculate and talk about it for a while. In this way, within two days, the whole Changzhou city will know that a new and strange shop has opened on the street.

"Okay." Xia Mingyue also nodded in agreement.

Manager Fu became more excited when he saw this. "Then I'll ask someone to build a shelf first. It will be clean and beautiful when you put it there."

Then hang up red silk, it will definitely be festive and beautiful!

Seeing that Manager Fu was about to get busy, Shi Dahai felt that the burden on him had become heavier.

In the past, he made bronze ware as he pleased, and as long as he could hand it over and show it off, he could make it presentable. Now, he has to show it off as soon as he finishes part of it. It's no different from having a crowd of people watching him make bronze ware on the spot!
It seems that one needs to put in all his energy and effort to make this big thing a success so as not to lose face.

Nor does it bring disgrace upon the Master's reputation.

Shi Dahai made up his mind and worked hard. Today, he swung the hammer with a little more strength than usual.

But this excited look only lasted for half a day. When he swung the hammer again in the afternoon, Shi Dahai was obviously a little wilted.

"Master Shi, what happened?" The guy who was sent by Manager Fu to help Shi Dahai asked with concern when he saw this.

"Nothing, probably because the weather is still hot and I don't feel like much." Shi Dahai replied absentmindedly, but his eyes couldn't stop glancing at the yard where Xia Mingyue lived.

The place where he made copperware was not far from Xia Mingyue's house, just a few steps away, and because of this, he could smell the rich aroma every day. These smells made Shi Dahai feel that the three dishes and one soup he ate every day were much inferior, and even tasted like chewing wax, but he was too embarrassed to eat for free.

After all, he was hired to do the work. If he overstepped his bounds, it would seem arrogant and rude, and he would lose their friendship in the future, and would not have the opportunity to eat more delicious food...

But if you can only smell the fragrance but cannot taste it, your heart will be empty and you will not have the energy to work, which is not good either.

Just when Shi Dahai was extremely conflicted, a waiter came over at midnight with a rather large casserole.

The casserole was emitting a lot of steam, which was mixed with a faint fragrance that made Shi Dahai sniff his nose again and again.

"What is this?" Shi Dahai asked.

It smells strange.

"I don't know either. I only know that Madam Xia asked me to bring it to Master Shi, saying that Master Shi has been working very hard these days, so I wanted to give Master Shi a taste of the new food."

The food made by Madam Xia?
Shi Dahai was overjoyed and did not care that the lid of the casserole was still hot, so he opened it.

Along with the hot steam came an incomparable fragrance. When the heat dissipated, Shi Dahai could see the brightly colored Dongpo pork stewed in the casserole, with the soup still bubbling slightly.

Each piece of Dongpo pork is tied with a thin hemp rope. The big and fat pieces of meat tremble slightly with the bubbling soup. Just looking at it makes you feel hungry.

Shi Dahai swallowed several times, hurriedly picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The Dongpo pork was just taken out and was extremely hot, causing Shi Dahai to gasp for several breaths of cool air. However, he was reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth. He just rolled it back and forth in his mouth several times before chewing it slowly.

Dongpo pork is made from the best pork belly, with alternating fat and lean meat. The fat is not greasy and melts in the mouth, with a soft and glutinous texture. The lean meat is soft and tender but not dry, and has a rich flavor.

good to eat!

After wolfing down a large piece of Dongpo pork, Shi Dahai could not help but praise the dish repeatedly. He even called the waiter to bring a bowl of rice and put the Dongpo pork in the casserole with the meat and soup on top of the rice in the bowl.

Use the thick soup to mix the rice evenly, and use chopsticks to cut the large pieces of Dongpo pork into small pieces. When eating, use the chopsticks to move the meat and rice from the top into your mouth...

Fun!

People who do heavy work tend to get hungry easily and like to eat oily and meaty dishes. This Dongpo pork in casserole is really suitable for them.

Especially the Dongpo pork tastes really good!

Shi Dahai liked Dongpo pork very much and he even wanted to stuff the whole casserole into his mouth. However, after thinking for a moment, he finally resisted the urge and only put half of it into the bowl.

The remaining half will be prepared by adding some water and some green vegetable leaves and cooking noodles early tomorrow morning.

This kind of Dongpo pork noodles tastes as delicious as Dongpo pork with rice, which is very popular!
Shi Dahai was thinking, he couldn't wait for the night to fall, and couldn't wait for the day to fall, so that he could eat the delicious noodles.

But after putting down his bowl and chopsticks and burping, he picked up the hammer again without hesitation.

Although it was already night and the sun was setting, the stars were bright and the fire was shining brightly, so he could still do some work.
