Chapter 46: Drooling Chicken (please vote for the third update! Please follow up and read!)

"Why are there so many people tonight? It feels like there are at least 30% more people than at noon!"

I was busy until 9:30 at night, and all the ingredients prepared in the store were used up. I finally got rid of the students who were blocking the outside and clamoring to buy soup dumplings and hot and sour soup.

Hu Zhihai was so tired that his legs were shaking. He moved to the chair next to him and sat down, breathing hard. The expression on his face was still a little unbelievable.

"On this evening meal, we sold at least three hundred steamed buns, and not even a drop of the hot and sour soup was left in the three large pots!

Those steamers are even worse. They are repeatedly tortured by high-temperature steam in a short period of time. I estimate that their lifespan is at least half shorter than other steamers!"

"There are only so many people here tonight."

Jiang Yu also took a long breath. It was half way through the business tonight. He saw that there were too many people outside, so he asked Lu Shuwu to go to the front to help. After he used up all the remaining dough, he even came in

.

The reason for doing this is simply to let more people eat soup dumplings and hot and sour soup.

He explained while moving his slightly sore wrists to go inside,

"This year's freshmen will start military training tomorrow. If they can't eat tonight, they won't have a chance to eat again for at least half a month."

"Oh, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me."

Saliva chicken is a traditional famous dish in Sichuan cuisine. It is spicy, fragrant, tender and refreshing. It is known as "famous three thousand miles away from Bashu and the most delicious among the twelve states in the south of the Yangtze River".

"Then what are you planning to cook?"

"It's okay, don't you still want to bring food to your friend?"

Lu Shuwu, who was sitting silently aside, jumped up immediately when he heard this, came to Jiang Yu's side in a few steps, lowered his head and looked over,

When he saw this, Lu Shuwu, who had been standing by the side and stared at it, couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "You, what is that dark sauce you just added to it?"

"Well, let's have a bottle of yogurt. Thank you, Brother Hu!"

Yan Tongtong was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly after she realized what she was doing: "Ah, I, I don't drink!"

"Then what do you drink? Milk or drink?"

After frying the aroma, he turned off the heat again, waited for the oil in the pot to cool down slightly, separated the green onions, peppercorns and minced garlic with a spoon, and poured the hot oil in the pot into the bowl containing the chili powder.

middle.

As for the formula that really needed to be kept secret, he had already taken care of it in advance.

After lightly stirring the hot oil and chili powder in the bowl, Jiang Yu filtered out the red oil in the pot and poured it into another empty bowl.

Jiang Yu looked back at him in surprise, then realized it and said with a smile,

"Of course it's a secret sauce passed down from our ancestors and not passed down to anyone else."

Seeing his greedy look, Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh. He lifted the chicken in his hand and said,

"There are four of us, let's make four chickens today, just one for each of us."

At this point, Lu Shuwu couldn't ask any more questions.

Everyone has said that this is a secret sauce passed down from generation to generation, so if you ask me again, you will appear to be too ignorant, and you may not be able to get the answer if you ask.

"Stop talking, stop talking, my mouth is watering just listening to you."

When making this dish, the soup used when cooking the chicken is very particular and needs to be just right. This can preserve the soluble protein of the chicken to the maximum extent, increase the deliciousness of the chicken, and have its unique aroma and taste.

After Hu Zhihai left, Yan Tongtong said with some embarrassment:

"Seeing as your saliva is drooling, I think you might as well become a drooling chicken."

Hu Zhihai quickly interrupted him, took a sip of water, stared at Jiang Yu and asked,

Jiang Yu was still busy with his own business and responded without looking back: "Make new dishes."

Jiang Yu didn't pay attention. Most chefs knew what he was doing now, and there was really no need to hide.

Lu Shuwu also laughed and explained to Hu Zhihai and Yan Tongtong, who were standing aside and listening curiously,

"Moreover, the wood used for burning is also particular. It is best to use fruit trees such as lychee wood and longan wood. The beggar's chicken will be more fragrant.

"Okay, then I'll buy some beer!"

"Whole chicken?"

"ah?"

"Is this a whole chicken? What are you going to cook?"

Immediately afterwards, he took out four chilled cucumbers from the refrigerator, washed them, cut them into long strips of equal size, and placed them on the bottom of four large plates.

Wash the four whole chickens with clean water, remove the chicken heads and chicken butts, then put the four chickens into the soup pot, add water to cover the chicken bodies, then add ginger slices, green onion knots and Sichuan peppercorns, and start stewing

Cooked.

"..."

Hu Zhihai, who was a step behind, also came over at this time and asked excitedly,

"Boss, this chicken is so big. It weighs at least two pounds. I, I can't eat one by myself, right?"

After finishing this, Jiang Yu heated up the pan again, poured cooking oil into it, and when the oil was hot, added the chopped green onions, peppercorns and some minced garlic and stir-fried continuously.

This process seemed busy, but in fact it did not take long. Lu Shuwu also stood by and stared attentively.

After a while, the aroma of chicken came out of the soup pot. Jiang Yu felt that it was almost ready, so he turned off the fire, took out all four chickens, and put them into the ice water prepared in advance.

Four chickens, each weighing nearly two kilograms, can fill four large plates.

After pouring the roasted peanuts out and letting them cool, Jiang Yu peeled them off, chopped them and set them aside for later use.

Jiang Yu carried four chickens out, stuffed the carton into the refrigerator and closed it, then stood up, turned to look at Hu Zhihai, and said with a smile,

Immediately afterwards, he added minced garlic, the secret sauce that had been prepared in advance, and the chicken soup in which the chicken was cooked before into the red oil. After stirring evenly with chopsticks, he set it aside to cool.

It's not that he is stingy and deliberately doesn't let people know the formula, but the formula provided by the system, the effect is really amazing.

Hu Zhihai suddenly realized it. When he saw Jiang Yu open the refrigerator and take out a cardboard box, he suddenly became curious.

"Hey, Lao Jiang, what are you doing?"

"Making beggar's chicken is very troublesome. There are no lotus leaves in the store now, and there is no clay. The most important thing is that making beggar's chicken is best when it is cooked with firewood."

Hu Zhihai waved his hands grandly, turned around and ran out.

"What, you still want to be Hong Qigong?"

Jiang Yu looked back at her and said with a smile, "If you can't finish the meal, just leave a portion for her to take back."

After a while, after the water in the soup pot boiled, Jiang Yu turned the heat to medium to low and let it simmer slowly, while he turned around and started making the sauce.

Once it is leaked, it doesn't matter if the other party is a decent man, at most it can be used to open a store. If someone with evil intentions gets it, who knows what consequences it will have.

"Hey! Why are you so polite?"

After cutting the shallots into sections and mincing the garlic, he lit another stove, heated the pot, poured in the raw peanuts and roasted them slowly until the skins of the peanuts burst and the fragrance emitted, then he stopped.

Then, take out the four chickens that have been cooled in ice water, drain them, cut them into pieces and place them on a plate.

"Are you going to make new dishes?"

When Hu Zhihai heard this, he was overjoyed and was about to run outside. When he ran to the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned around and asked,

"Xiaoyan, do you drink beer?"

We don’t have this condition in our store now. Maybe we can move to a larger place in the future, preferably with an open-air courtyard or something, and then it will be no problem.”

"Lao Jiang, are you planning to become a beggar chicken?"

"Beggars chicken?"

Jiang Yu didn't know what Yan Tongtong was thinking. It was already getting late and he had to start doing it quickly.

"Oh, okay then."

Yan Tongtong responded in a low voice, thinking secretly in her heart that the boss is such a warm man. I didn't expect Xiao Qi that he would actually remember...

However, at this moment, he finally understood why the soup dumplings and hot and sour soup made by Jiang Yu were so delicious, and it probably had something to do with it.

The only thing he was a little confused about was that he seemed to have never heard of a secret sauce that could be used in any dish and would be delicious.

This seems too unscientific!

But before he could figure it out, Jiang Yu had already sprinkled four large plates of chicken with chopped peanuts, poured the prepared red oil sauce on top, and sprinkled some chopped coriander on top.

At this step, the saliva chicken is complete.
Chapter completed!
