Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?

Chapter 80 The best ingredients and delicious food, the second canteen is blocked again!

  【Entertaining diners: 612/200】

　　【Exceeded the task limit and received additional rewards: 1 high-quality mountain chicken; beggar's chicken recipe. 】

【Deep Mountain Native Chicken: Native chicken produced in deep mountain areas. It grows up eating wild insects and vegetable leaves. The meat is firm and has extremely high nutritional value. 】

 Today’s reward is an ingredient and a recipe.

 Ingredients are hard to come by.

 Animals grow up eating different foods, which taste different.

Taking mutton as an example, sheep that have been raised on feed have a very spicy taste and the meat quality is not very good.

 The sheep that eat pasture on the grassland don’t taste so bad, and their meat is of excellent quality.

 The same is true for chickens and ducks.

Most chicken farms now use chickens that grow up eating feed, and there are very few native chickens that grow up eating bugs and vegetable leaves.

Now that he got a piece of local chicken produced by the system, Jiang Feng immediately became interested.

 The chicken has been plucked and is a ready-made ingredient.

 The considerate system has even prepared recipes. Naturally, tonight’s dinner will be beggar’s chicken.

 The authentic way to make beggar's chicken is to wrap it in lotus leaves instead of tinfoil.

Many people think that the beggar’s chicken was invented by beggars, but they are completely wrong.

Beggars chicken is not only a famous imperial dish, but also the fourth dish among the "six chickens and four ducks".

 Six chickens refer to: Ghost Town Spicy Chicken, Shaoxing Drunken Chicken, Fuliji Roast Chicken, Beggar’s Chicken, Farewell My Concubine, and Dezhou Braised Chicken.

This dish is the inheritance of Chinese food culture.

However, with the development of technology nowadays, it is usually wrapped in tin foil and baked in a special oven, without the hassle of wrapping it in lotus leaves or mud.

Jiang Feng planned to make an authentic beggar's chicken while he had nothing to do in the afternoon.

 He called the butcher shop owner.

 “Want a big lotus leaf?”

Hearing Jiang Feng's request, the butcher shop owner was also confused.

 What do you want this thing for?

 “Yes, it’s the lotus leaf.” Jiang Feng confirmed.

 “This is simple, I’ll ask you at the flower market.”

“Those who grow flowers are very energetic. I know someone who grows lotus flowers in pots with very big leaves.”

 “It shouldn’t be a big problem if I want one.”

 The butcher shopkeeper replied.

 “Okay, thank you very much.”

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

 Fortunately, there is a play.

 Then, Jiang Feng began to prepare seasonings, ingredients, etc.

The chicken has been cleaned. Jiang Feng found a clean transparent basin and put the chicken in it.

 He added onion, ginger, cooking wine, star anise, bay leaves, pepper, Sichuan pepper powder, salt, light soy sauce, and soy sauce to the basin.

 Then wear disposable gloves and give the chicken a full massage.

 It’s true that the horse kills the chicken!

 The method of begging chicken is not complicated.

Jiang Feng massaged the chicken thoroughly, then put it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least two hours. It doesn't matter if it's an hour or two longer.

Taking advantage of this time, he went to get lotus leaves and clay.

 The raw materials of a delicacy are very important, and their impact on the taste is also fatal.

The native chicken obtained this time is the best ingredient, so Jiang Feng naturally has to deal with it well.

 After going out to work for an hour, Jiang Feng came back with lotus leaves and clay.

Put the lotus leaves in a basin and soak them in salt water until soft.

Pour the clay into another basin, do not pour water, pour half a bottle of white wine, and then stir it into mud.

 The chicken roasted in this way will not have any earthy smell, but will have a light aroma of wine.

There is no other baijiu at home, only Maotai.

  Maotai was bought by Jiang Feng after he received the system reward for the first time. After buying it, he drank a few glasses and felt it didn’t taste good, so he put it away.

 It is just used for mixing mud at the moment.

 It’s not that he is wasting it, the key is that he really doesn’t like drinking and has no one to give it to.

　　Making the best use of everything, it is just right for mixing with clay.

 Then it’s simple, prepare some fillings and mix them.

Jiang Feng chose bacon, sausage, mushrooms, fungus, longan, and wolfberry, and added light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt and sugar to make a bowl of filling.

 Stuff all the stuffing into the chicken belly.

 Wrap two layers of lotus leaves to prevent side leakage.

Then tie it up with a rope, and paste mud mixed with white wine on the outside.

Put it on a baking sheet and bake it in the oven at 200 degrees for 1 hour and 180 degrees for 2 hours, and it's done.

 This dish includes the 2 and a half hours of marinating the chicken, plus the processing time.

 It takes about 6 hours in total.

 A traditional delicacy is toss.

 For anyone else, it would be crazy to cook a dish in 6 hours.

But Jiang Feng is a chef, so this is nothing to him.

 And you don’t need to do anything during the three hours you put it in the oven, just rest.

Jiang Feng continued to tease Xiao Hei.

Just over half a month has passed, and this little guy has grown in size.

 When I first saw it, it was a little bigger, like a moving plush slipper.

The current size is similar to that of a small Teddy.

This guy is very energetic, and his body and legs feel very strong.

 Some dogs are thin dogs. Even if their bodies are not thin, their legs are very thin and they look unstable. Xiaohei is stable and comprehensive.

The key is to be smart, he can listen to commands, play catch, and take the initiative to get the leash.

 It’s more worry-free than a pet dog!

 After playing with Xiao Hei for a while, Jiang Feng played with his mobile phone for a while, adjusting the temperature of the oven once in the process.

 Until three hours later, he came to the oven to check on the condition of the beggar's chicken.

 The soil has dried and hardened under the high temperature of the oven and adhered to the outside of the lotus leaves.

 Due to the airtightness, all the aroma of roasted chicken is concentrated on the chicken.

Jiang Feng remembered that he had cooked beggar's chicken in his previous life, and his cooking skills were not good at that time.

 Following the steps of the beggar's chicken, the moment he put the soil into the oven, the chicken started to burn.

Later I found out that there was too much wine in the soil, which directly ignited the wine, and then the lotus leaves also caught fire.

●Today’s dish of beggar’s chicken was perfectly cooked.

 The oven was opened, and a wave of hot steam mixed with the aroma of wine hit your face.

 Because the wine is in the mud, the most obvious thing at this time is the aroma of the wine.

 After waiting for the temperature to cool down for a while, Jiang Feng put on insulated gloves and took the baking pan out of the oven.

 He put on disposable gloves and pulled off all the dirt with his hands.

 In an instant, the fragrance of lotus leaves and chicken also filled the air.

He untied the rope and peeled off two layers of lotus leaves. The roasted and cooked chicken was completely displayed in front of Jiang Feng.

 The faint fragrance of lotus leaves and the strong aroma of roast chicken hit your face.

Jiang Feng put on another pair of gloves and began to taste this beautiful dish made by the royal family.

 He first picked up a chicken leg and tasted it.

 The whole chicken can be easily removed from the bones, and the meat is soft and not greasy.

 The fat of the chicken is baked out and adheres to the surface of the chicken skin.

 The aroma of the fillings inside is also attached to the chicken.

 One bite and it’s full of fragrance.

 The hot chicken enters your mouth and it is really fragrant.

 Just like entering a hot spring room from the cold outdoors in the coldest month of winter, your whole body feels warm.

Jiang Feng ate a few bites of the chicken, and then handed the bones with some remaining meat to Xiao Hei.

Chicken bones become brittle after being cooked for two hours and can be fed directly to puppies. The puppies can easily break the bones and eat them.

Bone meal is also highly nutritious.

Jiang Feng continued to tear into the chicken and start eating.

 This chicken is an excellent ingredient and has been carefully cooked, making it the most perfect beggar's chicken.

 The taste is really good.

Jiang Feng became more and more energetic as he ate.

 From time to time, I would tear off some chicken and chicken bones and feed them to Xiao Hei.

 He chewed the chicken, savoring the deliciousness of the sauce in the chicken, feeling the aroma of lotus leaves, longan and shiitake mushrooms.

 This feeling is very enjoyable.

Jiang Feng was neither impatient nor slow, and never stopped moving his hands.

Soon, there was only a piece of chicken bone left on the lotus leaf.

Xiao Hei ate a lot of chicken and crispy bones, and when he was full, he ran away with satisfaction and went to sleep in his own bed.

 “Huh, cool!”

Jiang Feng took off his gloves and took two breaths, trying to lighten the strong taste in his mouth.

 After taking another sip of boiled water, I felt more comfortable.

 “It would be nice to reward more ingredients.”

“After all, ingredients are the basis of gourmet food.”

“The same dish tastes very different when made with different types of ingredients.”

“If you want to make this kind of delicious food, you have to use the best ingredients.”

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

 He stretched contentedly.

 Then I cleaned up the table and kitchen, went to play on the computer, and went to work with my pallu.

 The next day.

 Still a good day.

 The 4th day of the opening of the stalls at the University of Science and Technology.

Jiang Feng still maintains his usual rhythm.

 The butcher shop owner brought him more ingredients.

There were really many people queuing up, so Jiang Feng prepared more.

 He began to work in the kitchen.

They are all dishes from ordinary people's homes, and they are quick to make.

 There are also stall owners busy at other stoves.

 But everyone’s styles are different.

Jiang Feng is wearing a white apron and has a good figure and temperament. When cooking, the stove is hot. Occasionally, you can see the flames coming out of the stove when you turn the spoon a few times.

 Obviously professional.

Other bosses just add some seasoning and stir the food in the pot.

These bosses looked at Jiang Feng's dashing appearance and secretly felt jealous:

 “Do it, just do it, no one can do it better than you.”

Jiang Feng didn't notice this and didn't pay attention to it.

 Just fry the hot vegetables, put them in the bowl and push them out. At about 12 o'clock, the business officially starts.

　　It was already dark and crowded with people outside.

 The second canteen is blocked again!
