Chapter Seventy-Six: Jinling Saltwater Duck

"Master Zhu, try the dishes I made!"

Guan Xiaomeng was holding a large plate with a big black lump in it, and he couldn't tell whether it was pasta or meat, and warmly greeted the fat chef who had competed with Liu Mang before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Uh......" The fat chef swallowed, a horrified expression on his face.

"Xiaomeng, I've had an inflamed throat recently, and I can't eat anything at all, don't you see that I'm hungry and have lost a lot of weight?"

"Really?" Guan Xiaomeng tilted his head sideways and opened his eyes wide: "It seems to be yes, your belly seems to be a lot smaller than before." Well, I'll go find Master Gu, and he will definitely like it. ”

"Yes, yes!" The fat chef nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "Go and give it to Minister Gu to taste, he has high cooking skills, and his understanding of food is better than mine, I don't know how many times, I will definitely be able to appreciate your dishes Xiaomeng." ”

It has been three months since Gu Xiaomeng came to Li Ruonan's dish research and development department. Lively by nature and without scheming, she quickly got along with the chefs here.

But the only thing that scares everyone is that her cooking skills are just as scary as her appetite.

No matter what kind of ingredients are processed by her, they immediately become extremely dark, which can be described as a biological weapon.

But she didn't know it, and she enjoyed it every day, taking becoming a great chef as her goal.

"Master Gu, you can taste the dishes I made! It's delicious!" Guan Xiaomeng raised the plate in his hand high and sent it to Gu Feng's face, with a look of longing.

"This ...... What is this?" Gu Feng, who was walking around the R&D department with his hands behind his back, turned around and saw that it was Gu Xiaomeng, his expression was like seeing a ghost.

"This is my new invention of Super Invincible Meat Stuffing! A perfect blend of pies and buns!

"Awesome... Awesome..."Gu Feng's always expressionless face showed a few black lines.

Guan Xiaomeng was brought over by Li Ruonan, and he had already told Gu Feng to take good care of her.

Besides, she's small, has a good personality, and she's the only girl in this department, so she's very likable.

Sometimes Gu Feng is really hard to blame, so he can only let her come nonsense.

"Taste it... Taste it... It's really delicious!" Guan Xiaomeng scooped up a lump with a spoon and tiptoed it to Gu Feng's mouth.

Gu Feng gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and put the black thing on the spoon into his mouth.

Salty, spicy, sour!

Gu Feng felt like a salted fish that had just been marinated from a salt shaker, and was immediately thrown into a hot sauce and then boiled with sulfuric acid.

From the mouth to the base of the tongue, to the internal organs, all of them have been plagued.

"My mother-in-law! If the police give him food made by Guan Xiaomeng for a few days in a row when the police are examining the suspect, I am afraid that the iron-beaten man will also confess!"

Gu Feng's face turned red and white, white and black, and he swallowed the lump of things.

"How's it going?!Isn't there a feeling of surprise?" Guan Xiaomeng's eyes smiled into two crescents, and he asked eagerly.

"Surprise your sister! Frightened, okay!" Gu Feng had a bitter face, and two words popped out of his teeth.

"Good-eat!"

"I'll just say it!" Guan Xiaomeng patted his chest, relieved: "Those people don't know how to appreciate it at all!

There was a suppressed laughter all around, and many people were busy with their work, but their eyes were looking this way.

I can see that Director Gu, who usually has a serious face, is the regulator in their busy work.

"What are you laughing at!?" Gu Feng's eyes glared: "You are responsible for eating it all over the rest!

"Ah!!h

"Little dream!

At this time, Li Ruonan walked in, and the people around him immediately stopped fighting and got busy.

"Sister Ruonan, what's wrong?" Guan Xiaomeng saw Li Ruonan's eager expression, and hurriedly put down the plate in his hand and greeted him.

"Has Liu Mang contacted you recently? I couldn't get through to him. ”

"No, I don't even have his phone. ”

"This dead man!" Li Ruonan stomped his foot hatefully: "I've been out for so long, and I haven't even heard from him." ”

"What's wrong? Sister Ruonan, is something wrong?"

"The preliminary selection of the Chef Contest has ended early, and we are about to enter the semi-finals. I've already signed up for his spot, and if he doesn't come back when the game starts, he'll be treated as a waiver!"

"Huh?!So what?"

"It's only like this..."Li Ruonan thought for a while: "You clean up, let's go to SC to find him together." ”

……

At this moment, Liu Mang looked very leisurely, he didn't know that the date of the Chef God Contest had been advanced. It's not that he deliberately didn't contact Li Ruonan, but because in the mountains, he and Wuyan's mobile phones didn't have any signal at all.

"Boss, what do you think of this duck? I just bought it from a farmer down the hill. Five-Eyed asked, holding two quacking ducks in his hand.

"Let's make do with it, the authentic saltwater duck uses the local duck of Jinling, we are just demonstrating its method now, there is no need to be too particular. The silence on the side took over the conversation.

Early this morning, without saying a word, he ordered Wuyan and Wujing to go down the mountain to buy duck so that they could cook the dishes recorded in the "Jinling Recipe".

Saltwater duck is a famous specialty of Jinling, which is said to have a history of more than 2,000 years.

The salted duck skin is white and the meat is tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and umami, and has the characteristics of fragrant, crispy and tender. Before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the salted duck made in the osmanthus blooming season has the best color and taste, so it is also called osmanthus duck.

Liu Mang slaughtered and dehaired the ducks. The wings and the soles of the duck's feet were cut off, and a small incision about 3 cm long was made under the nest of the right wing.

Remove the internal organs from the knife edge, pull out the trachea and esophagus, rinse with clean water, and drain the water from the duck.

Then heat the wok and add salt and pepper powder, and stir-fry until salt and pepper are set aside.

"Saltwater ducks are made with whole ducks, so keep the whole duck intact when cooking, start lightly, and never break its skin. Silent instructed on the side.

"Understood. Liu Mang nodded, and evenly spread the fried pepper and salt on the duck.

The remaining salt and pepper are divided into two parts, one part is stuffed into the belly of the duck from the knife edge under the wings, and the other part is stuffed into the duck neck from the neck knife edge and beak.

"Alright, let's start pickling. Liu Mang took a clean clay pot and put two ducks into the jar.

"Master, how long does this pickle?" asked Liu Mang.

He had heard of this saltwater duck before, but it was the first time he had done it.

"It's about two hours in the summer, four hours in the spring and autumn, six hours in the winter, and three hours in the weather like it is now. Bu Yu glanced at the recipe in his hand and replied.

The preliminary work of Jinling salted duck has been prepared, and now when the time comes, it will be cooked.
