335 The Essence of the Pot (2-in-1)
"Mr. Bai is actually not surnamed Bai, just because his ancestors are my diligent and famous Bai tongue students, and once established the 'diligent weapon spectrum', so he was remembered by others, but forgot his real name. ”
Fan Mingren said with a smile: "Although the hundred schools are in a single lineage, the descendants of the past generations are all talented, can distinguish the world's food, can drink the world's wine, Mr. Bai is willing to go out of the mountain this time, but also wants to inherit the great cause of the ancestors, and re-establish the diligent weapon spectrum." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Bai. ”
Zhou Dong nodded slightly: "I don't have any interest in this score, but I heard Mr. Bai talk about Hu Shenchu just now, I don't know how much Mr. Bai knows about Hu Shenchu, I hope to get some information about him......"
Since the beginning of the jade porridge, Zhou Dong has had an inexplicable connection with this 'Hu Shen Chef' who only exists in legends, and Zhou Dong is also very interested in the information about Hu Shen Chef, otherwise he would not be too lazy to deal with Fan Mingren with his temperament.
"Hehe, the food is current, and let me taste it first and then answer Chef Zhou?"
Bai Weisheng glanced at Zhou Dong curiously, and did not rush to answer about Hu Shen's kitchen, but was very interested in the pot chicken in front of him.
Ground pot chicken is not a famous dish on the table, it is a very down-to-earth delicacy by nature, and in the earliest days, it was actually called lazy food and convenient food.
When the rich and noble eat food, they pay attention to cold and hot, fried and burned, and they also need to have healthy soup, so that they can become a feast, but the poor people are so particular? Of course, how is it convenient and how to come?
The most inconvenient is the fishermen, no land and no house, the only family property is the boat, it is rumored that when the fishermen of Weishan Lake near Chudu cook on the boat, for convenience, they will use a big iron pot, put the red clay stove, firewood to burn, the pot takes chicken, fish, shrimp and so on as the main dish, thick salt and spicy, thick soup simmering,
At the same time, use corn, millet, wheat flour to knead into a small cake, stick it on the wall of the pot, half of the dough into the soup, half out of the soup noodles, and then cover the pot like this, even the burning with stuffy and boiling, and when it comes out of the pot, the chicken, fish, shrimp in the pot are cooked, the dough is also cooked, the soup, vegetables, and staple food are served in one pot, which is to suppress hunger and satisfy hunger.
This kind of local food developed from lazy food, called the pot, the main dish in the pot is chicken, then it is called the pot chicken, the main dish in the pot is fish, it is called the pot fish, the taste is unique, it is a good choice to gather three or five friends to drink and eat.
However, because this kind of food seems to be too much for the Riba people, and it is difficult to find a red clay stove with a large iron pot and a firewood fire in these years, the development is limited.
At present, if you want to eat Diguo chicken, you must get to the vicinity of Chudu and the northern part of Hui Province, don't look for restaurants with Diguo brands on the street, it may not be authentic, and go directly to the farmhouse at the junction of urban and rural areas.
Baijia is known as 'can distinguish the world's food', naturally it is a luxurious and fine court dish is also eaten, and the lazy food of the Riba people is also eaten, Baiweisheng came to Chudu this time, and naturally also saved the idea of tasting this pot chicken, after all, it is still the most famous and representative of the pot chicken in the pot.
What's more, this is Zhou Dong's own hand-made pot chicken, which is not to be missed, compared with food, looking for the god chef who is likely to be no longer alive can be put aside.
Before tasting its taste, first look at its color, before seeing its color, first observe its utensils, the first thing Baiweisheng looks at is this big iron pot.
"It is worthy of the king of Zhou pot and the earth-shaking pot, this iron pot is deep but not standing, the shape is wide and wide, and the slope of the pot wall is gentle, so that it can be evenly fired, so that the dough cake on the pot wall is more crispy and delicious. ”
In the light sauce and spicy soup, a whole chicken is lying there quietly, which has been boiled until it is yellow and crispy, and the aroma of meat hits people.
Instead of picking up the chicken directly, Barilla gently inserted the chopsticks into the thick soup, and then suddenly let go of his hand, and the chopsticks did not fall down immediately, but tilted to the side, and then poured.
He grabbed the chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's a thick soup, but it's not a fat cream, this old rooster can't boil a lot of chicken fat, this soup is corn and millet flour integrated into the dough?"
Zhou Dong nodded: "Mr. Bai's eyesight is really good. ”
"This kind of soup is not only thick, but also very healthy, and Chef Zhou's mind is really not comparable to ordinary chefs......
Baiweisheng is here to comment slowly, all kinds of X, Fan Mingren and Thin Monkey San'er can't wait, since the two of them entered the big wine tank, they just ate some peanuts and fennel beans or something, and they have long felt hungry, as soon as the lid of this pot is opened, the meaty noodles are fragrant and drunk, where can they endure it?
In fact, the more big bosses and rich people like Baiweisheng eat first-class noodles on weekdays, the more interested they will be in this kind of local flavor food.
"Silk ...... Good...... Eat, good ...... Delicious!"
The thin monkey San'er was too anxious, so he picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, but he forgot that this kind of thick soup can cover the heat the most, how hot this piece of chicken must be?
The old rooster, this feels more tender than a small rooster! Such a delicacy, where is the willingness to spit it out?
After a moment of hesitation, the palate was scalded and peeled off a layer of skin!
It was so hot that he jumped up and down, and there was a sound in his mouth, but he still refused to spit it out, and he really vaguely praised this piece of chicken for being delicious and delicious.
Fan Mingren blushed for a while, but the Fan family is also a family of Gu Qinxing, and his subordinates are so embarrassed, they really have no face at all. He didn't want to scold the thin monkey in front of Zhou Dong, so he simply pretended not to see it, and concentrated on eating his own things.
He can eat more than a thin monkey, and the first chopsticks are like Baiweisheng, which is running for the stickers on the wall of the pot.
Each piece of the flour made of wheat flour, corn flour and millet flour is shaped like a pig's tongue, with thin edges and a slightly thicker center, and the soup is halfway along the walls of the pot, and when the old rooster is cooked over low heat, the cake is also cooked.
And half of this cake is simmered in the chicken soup fragrant and soft, half because it sticks to the wall of the pot, the bottom layer bears a layer of crispy shell of yellow, orange and orange, the more edge position, the more crispy and delicious, and because it is baked in the iron pot at the same time there is also the fragrant mist from the chicken soup infiltrated, not only will it not be burnt, but the taste is more mellow and changeable.
This is the essence of the pot chicken!
It's not that the old rooster is not delicious, but that such a delicious mixed dough cake can be found in the 'ground pot', you are looking for eight major cuisines and famous foods from all over the world, and there is absolutely no duplicate!
This is a piece of fragrant cake that carries the pride of the pot and is coveted by foodies all over the world, and it has various flavors of "frying", "baking", "steaming" and "stewing"!
What kind of eyesight did Fan Minh Ren and Bai Weisheng have, the two of them at the same time took a fancy to the best position, the widest shell, the best, it must be the most delicious, and it is the best in terms of texture and taste, and they even stretched out their chopsticks.
"Smack!
Smack!
Bang bang bang!"
The chopsticks in the hands of the two slammed into each other in the air above the pot cake.
The first time the chopsticks met, the two of them should have been unintentional, and they couldn't imagine that this kind of big loss of table manners would appear on the head of the Fan family and the descendants of the hundred families, which is not scientific at all!
Fan Mingren and Bai Weisheng were both slightly stunned, glanced at each other, but did not give up the idea, and took out the chopsticks again, faster and harder!
Foodies who have reached their realm, they would rather eat fairy peaches than half a basket of rotten apricots, and of course they will eat the best, even if they are all fairy peaches in front of them, then they must choose the largest and sweetest one to eat.
At present, even the king of heaven can't let it, this is a foodie's self-cultivation and bottom line principle!
From the moment the lid of the pot was lifted, Fan Mingren had long forgotten that he had just been humble and asked Baiweisheng to taste it first, and it was not a problem now.
Bang bang!
If so, three.
The two looked at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, the chopsticks in their hands were like a snake out of a hole, a strange python turned over, and at the same time bypassed each other's chopsticks and landed on this most essence and high-quality ground pot cake.
The two sides used the grains at the same time, and they saw that the pot cake was divided into two, and it was separated vertically, and the two halves of the cake were brown and crispy with the potstickers and the thick aroma soaked in the thick soup.
The thin monkey San'er looked at Baiweisheng angrily, and said in his heart that you are so unreasonable, my uncle is just polite, why are you still grabbing food and drink?
But he didn't know that Baiweisheng food heirloom, the family has been discovering and discovering famous chefs and various delicacies for generations, how can he take into account any etiquette when he encounters the delicacies that move him?
The two didn't care about complaining about each other's favors, and quickly sent half of the ground pot cake that was not easy to 'win' into their mouths.
The first intimate contact with the lips and teeth, of course, is the most fragrant cake edge, when the pot cake is rolled out, it is slightly thick in the middle, but the edge around it is thin, the thin edge of the cake is baked by the high heat of the pot wall, it should be burnt, but the soup below will turn into fog and cover the pot cake, so that it will only become crispy and yellow, but not black.
The ripening of the pot cake is a process of repeating itself, it is constantly dried on the wall of the pot, and it is constantly soaked by the fragrant mist made of chicken juice, and so on and so forth, I don't know how to go through hundreds or thousands of reincarnations.
If there are thousands of temperers in food, this pot cake is set in it!
One dry and one moist, just like a yin and a yang, a thousand times and hundreds of turns of food is made, how delicious this must be!
"Kaka!"
When you bite into it, the edges of the crispy cakes seem to flow out of the thick chicken juice, crispy, crispy, and fragrant...... All kinds of extreme enjoyment emanated from the mouth, and finally rushed into the minds of the two,
Before you can say your praise, the part of the cake that has been soaked in the soup has brought another wonderful enjoyment, although it has been simmered for nearly an hour, but this half of the cake has not been soft at all.
Fan Mingren couldn't help but groan: "This pot is enough to support a star-rated restaurant, and the king of Zhou Guo really deserves his reputation!"
Zhou Dong frowned when he heard this, what Zhou Guo King, did you talk like this?
Skinny Monkey San'er thinks that the uncle and the president brother are too exaggerated, in his opinion, no matter how delicious this pot cake is, the noodles can still surpass the meat?
"Because of the different ingredients used, the pot is divided into pot chicken, fish, shrimp, pork ribs, etc., although the essence is in the crispy pot cake full of thick juice, but Chef Zhou is a big hand in the kitchen, but an old rooster can be so different, which is amazing and admirable. ”
Compared with Fan Mingren, who is still whispering and reminiscing, Baiweisheng is worthy of being the descendant of a hundred families, although his face is shocked, he still does not lose his style.
After eating the second half of the ground pot cake that he was also amazed by, Barilla put down his chopsticks and groaned slightly, and specially sandwiched a piece of chicken ribs to eat.
'Chicken ribs and chicken ribs, tasteless food, it's a pity to discard!'
The smart man Yang Xiu lost his head because of this sentence, but the smart man Baiweisheng wanted to use the chicken ribs in this sentence to further evaluate Zhou Dong's cooking skills.
Chewing gently and swallowing slowly, a look of surprise appeared in Baiweisheng's eyes.
It can't be, absolutely impossible!
In order to prevent his judgment from making a mistake, Barilla specially asked Wu Rongrong for a glass of water, rinsed her mouth thoroughly, and picked up a piece of chicken ribs to eat.
"How did he do it......? Turn decay into magic!"
The old rooster is one of the most popular ingredients among Chudu foodies, more tender than the old hen, but more resistant than the small rooster has a taste, if the early treatment is done properly, it is the best ingredient for dry stir-fried chicken and spicy chicken.
But everything must have pros and cons, the old rooster has a chewy head, it will inevitably bring difficulty in handling, and no matter how you deal with it properly, after all, it is not as smooth and tender as the small rooster, which is determined by nature.
But the pot chicken made by Zhou Dong not only retains the dry mouth and chew head that the old rooster should have, but the entrance is like ** tendon, but it will not be difficult to chew.
It's nothing, but if you make chicken so that you can't chew it, then you're still a qualified chef, right?
Zhou Dong's magic is magical, when you enjoy the taste of the old rooster, once you chew the chicken, the chicken will disintegrate in the mouth, indescribably tender and delicious.
For a moment, Barilla even had the illusion that the aftertaste of this chicken was like the finest 'wild yellow croaker'!
The first-class wild yellow croaker is a priceless good thing these days, and the garlic clove that melts in the mouth is the favorite of countless foodies.
What kind of cooking method is it to make the old rooster into garlic clove meat, and it is also the chicken rib that you deliberately choose?
Bai Weisheng looked at Zhou Dong in disbelief, and remembered a sentence left by the ancestor Bai Yusheng in his mind.
"Anyone who is a god chef can be a mortal cannot, he can be transformed into a hundred flavors of plum and salt, he can appear in the rice grains, he can become ice crystals in the fire cooking oil, and he can turn decay into magic in ordinary ingredients......
Those who become one of them are already in the realm of divine kitchens, and they should be in the top ten of the list of weapons in the ranks!"
