Chapter 614: Chicken Legs in the Hosta Field (Part I)

"Boss, it's already installed, you can take a look and try it. The little guy in the blue overalls jumped out of his chair and said.

"Well, yes, pretty clear. Liu Mang picked up the remote control and turned on the switch of the TV.

The day before yesterday, he heard Liu Chang and Cui Niuer talk about the game, and today Liu Mang went to the mall to buy a TV and put it on, so as not to miss it.

"Take a sip of water. Liu Mang poured a glass of water and handed it to the little brother.

The little brother took the water and drank it all: "Boss, I'm leaving, there's still an installation over there." ”

"Well, goodbye. ”

After the installation brother left, Liu Mang pressed the remote control and watched the TV show.

This store already has feelings for Liu Mang, even if he is leaving in a few days, the store will not be returned, and he will even discuss with the landlord to buy it, anyway, he is not short of money now.

After cleaning up the threads and packaging foam left on the ground, Liu Mang walked to the back kitchen and took out a safety box from the refrigerator.

This box contains honey water mixed with honey and cooking wine, and the honey water is soaked in a boxy piece of Jinhua ham meat.

The ham has been soaked for a week to remove excess salt and make it more tender.

The dish that Liu Mang is going to cook today is 'Hosta Tian Chicken Thigh', which is also a kung fu dish, with exquisite materials and complex methods. The first to be seen in the Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets, also known as "Lantian jade", in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, from the court to the people, became a common dish for some wealthy businessmen and banqueters.

"Hmm. The sweetness of the honey has penetrated into the ham, and although it has a little less salty flavor, it has a lighter taste and is more suitable for the sweetness of the chicken. Liu Mang cut a small slice of ham with a knife, brought it to his mouth and tasted it, praising it.

Then, Liu Mang walked to the stove, and a small crockpot on the stove was steaming slightly. Lift the lid of the crockpot and see the mushrooms that have been soaked.

The process of making this 'hosta field chicken thigh' on the stove is not complicated, just need to put the prepared field chicken thigh through water and oil, and slightly seasoned, but the difficulty is in the preparation of the early ingredients.

In addition to the ham, which is soaked in advance, the shiitake mushrooms used in it also need to be simmered in advance with broth, second broth and chicken fat. And the bamboo shoots also need to be specially selected, and they have to use the sand bamboo shoots produced in Foshan, Guangdong.

These exquisite details, one by one, are so meticulous and elaborate that few chefs can do them nowadays. Of course, there are very few restaurants that offer such dishes that are complicated but cannot be sold at a high price.

Liu Mang took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom from the crockpot, and pinched it with his fingernails to see how soft it was.

"It's just right, it's time to pick it up. Liu Mang nodded with satisfaction, and used a colander to scoop all the mushrooms in the crockpot into a clean basin, ready to cool and then change the knife and shred.

The field chicken that was collected from Tan Yuer's house last time, Liu Mang had already slaughtered it in the morning, and only took the meat from the two thighs of the field chicken, and seasoned it with a little salt and ginger and shallot water to remove the smell.

"Everything is ready, let's do it when someone comes. Liu Mang looked at the time and went around to the bar to turn on the TV.

"It's this one. After the TV was turned on, Liu Mang pressed the remote control, and finally froze on one of the stations.

"Well, the show airs at 7 p.m., so it's still early. Liu Mang walked out of the store, stood in the alley and shouted: "I'm back for dinner!"

After only waiting for about ten seconds, Xiaoliu, the fat cat, led Ah Fu to rush down from the wall in a hurry, as if he had been chased by a dog.

Only the meat of the legs of the chicken is the most plump, but the excess parts Liu Mang will not be wasted, all scraped off with a knife, steamed and then added to the two cats.

Just when Liu Mang walked into the store to make cat food for Xiaoliu and Ah Fu, Lu Heling walked over from the alley and came to the front of the store.

"Do you want to go in? The boss won't see that I'm a Michelin food reviewer." Lu Heling was a little hesitant in her heart.

According to the Michelin system, if a restaurant is rated as a star, the food reviewer who rated the restaurant will not be allowed to re-enter the restaurant for several years. This is to ensure the fairness of the evaluator's score and prevent fraud.

It is for this reason that the deer crane age did not appear during this time. But what she never expected was that Liu Mang would so simply and decisively refuse Michelin's star award.

"Forget it, there are so many guests coming and going, the boss may not know. Lu Heling licked his lips, recalled the deliciousness of Liu Mang's dishes, and secretly made up his mind: "Even if you know, it's good to be scolded by him, will he still drive me out?"

Lu Heling feels a bit like a little girl who has done something wrong, and she is afraid to face the eyes of adults.

"The owner...... Boss...... Are you there?" gently pushed open the wooden door, Lu Heling shouted quietly.

"Oh, I'm here. Liu Mang, who was squatting in the back kitchen to feed the cat, stood up: "Good evening, it's you." ”

"I haven't been here for a few days, and I miss your boss very much. Lu Heling, who was a little weak-hearted, secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I shouldn't have been found." ”

"Today's dish is 'hosta field chicken thigh', do you eat it?" asked Liu Mang.

"Is the field chicken a frog?" asked Lu Heling.

"Uh...... Although the field pheasant is very similar to the frog, it is two different frogs from the frog, and you can think of it as a bullfrog. Liu Mang thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, as long as I don't see the slaughter, I think I'm okay with that. ”

"Don't see for yourself, don't hear for yourself, don't suspect for yourselfβ€”don't benefactor, you have a great realm. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Giggle......" Lu Heling was amused by Liu Mang, and his heart was completely relaxed.

Liu Mang made a cup of tea for Lu Heling, then rolled up his sleeves and returned to the back kitchen, ready to start cooking.

"Boss, why is this dish called 'hosta field chicken legs', is there anything special?" Lu Heling took a sip of the tea on the table and asked.

"Yes, Chinese cuisine and Western cuisine are named differently, and the dishes that can be put on the table rarely appear French foie gras with black truffle, mushroom cream vegetable soup, and most of the names that are nakedly marked with ingredients are simulated and simulated. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Mang paused: "Hosta Tian Chicken Thigh" is to dismantle the chicken thigh, insert ham, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc., its shape is exquisite, such as the beautiful jade hairpin through the bun, which is also a unique aesthetic taste in Chinese culture. ”

"Interesting, I really didn't think about it before. Lu Heling nodded thoughtfully: "It's like 'Buddha jumping over the wall', 'lion head', 'hundred birds returning to the nest', 'ants on the tree', etc., not Chinese, I don't know what this dish eats and what ingredients are used." ”

"That's right. ”
