Chapter 509: The Flying Dragon is in the Sky

The scarlet lips have a slightly salty taste, and the chew has a little toughness in the mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 After a few chews, the meaty umami smell emanates from the mouth, and it is really a few smacks, and there is still an aftertaste, which makes the mouth and tongue fragrant.

This feeling is a bit like a good old Xiangxi bacon, but after a careful taste, I feel that it is not, because the taste of scarlet lips is a little better, and they are completely different things.

"Boss, that's really good!" Wuyan was full of praise, and then picked up a piece of taro and put it in his mouth: "The taro is also good, even better than scarlet lips." ”

In the process of steaming, the taro completely absorbs the taste of the scarlet lips, and the umami of the meat is revealed between the soft and glutinous sweetness, which is not greasy and has a long taste.

"Well, it's really worthy of the name!" Liu Mang also picked up a piece of scarlet lips pulled from the plate with five eyes and put it into his mouth: "It does have a reason to be regarded as 'Eight Treasures' by the ancients, although this is not an authentic elk, but the taste is really great!"

"The pig's head has nine flavors, I think this scarlet lip is even better!" Five-Eyed happily stuffed the remaining scarlet lips into his mouth and wiped his hands on the apron casually: "Okay, boss, you can continue to cook, I'll send it to the food delivery staff in front." ”

After waiting for the five eyes to leave, Liu Mang walked to the cauldron of stewed 'elephant pull', first inserted it with a bamboo stick, tried the heat, and then scooped up the whole root and threw it into the ice water prepared in the morning.

The abrupt transition from heat to ice will make the texture of the elephant more elastic and the taste will be even better.

The secret of the eighteen secret dishes of the Manhan Mansion is hidden in these seemingly inconspicuous little tricks. It is the countless permutations and combinations of these tips that can make such a dish that has both color and flavor.

After the elephant pulled down, Liu Mang lit the charcoal stove, took a long-handled two-shaped baking fork, and skewered the whole elephant pull.

"Boss, the elephant is starting to roast. "Five Eyes is back.

"Well......" Liu Mang nodded: "After I set it up, you help me bake it, and I'll cook other dishes." ”

"No problem!"

Liu Mang helped Wuyan pull the elephant out of the oven and set it up, and then handed him a pot of sauce.

"Brush while turning the handle, and don't stop for a moment. Liu Mang commanded.

This pot of sauce is specially made according to the records in the "Tune Ding Ji", and it is filled with various condiments such as honey, maltose, and licorice.

In addition to making the grilled geobal more beautiful, it also allows the flavor to penetrate and enrich the flavor.

Liu Mang silently estimated the time in his heart, the giant salamander on the stove was still stewing, and it still needed a little heat, and the elephant was also roasted on the charcoal stove, which also took time. Now you have time to work on other dishes.

Liu Mang walked to the board, tied the two big birds on the board, and was still struggling, slipped in his hands and walked towards the water platform.

"Boss, why do I look so familiar with this big bird?" asked Gome, who was turning the grill with his head buried in his head.

"Don't you remember? The last time we went to record the show, didn't we see this kind of bird? ”

"Oh! I remember!" "Five-eyed patted his head: "This is not a 'flying dragon', well, last time I was going to fight down and eat, you still didn't let me, I didn't expect to meet here again." ”

"The flying dragon is also one of the eight treasures, it has been a rare treasure since ancient times, of course you can't play the program, it is a national protected animal, and now these two, let's treat it as if it was bred in captivity. Liu Mang replied.

Feilong, also known as hazel chicken, is produced in the area of Xing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountain. Generally, restaurants use it as a stewed soup, and no seasoning is added to the soup except salt, so as to highlight the original flavor of the soup.

However, the Manhan Tower's 'flying dragon in the sky' is completely different, but it is made in the form of smoke.

And the way of smoking is also very particular, not with wood chips or chaff, but with tea.

According to legend, the origin of this dish is also very interesting, and it is related to Liu Yong, the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty.

It is said that Liu Yong, the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, was an upright figure, who often pointed out the shortcomings of Emperor Chen Qianlong in front of everyone, and Qianlong was very troubled by him, and always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on him.

But his behavior is upright, he never accepts bribes and eats, and cheats for personal gain, and Emperor Qianlong can't find fault with him, so there is no way to deal with him. However, Liu Yong has a hobby: he especially loves to eat flying dragon birds.

One day, his protΓ©gΓ© brought a flying dragon bird from Kanto, and Liu Yong was so anxious that he ordered the servant to tell the cook to quickly put it in the pot and stew it! The flying dragon had just been stewed, and then the family came to report: "The emperor has arrived!" Liu Yong hurriedly led the whole family out to meet him. As soon as Qianlong stepped into the gate of Liu's Mansion, he smelled a smell of meat.

As we all know, this Merry Emperor is the number one gourmand in the world, and he immediately guessed that it was the fragrance of the Flying Dragon Bird, and immediately put on a straight face and said, "What a Liu Yong! What is the crime of you daring to hunt down a flying dragon and eat it privately?"

Liu Yong thought about it, didn't he commit the crime of deceiving the king by secretly cooking dragon meat at home? Frightened, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness! Qianlong only wanted to take this opportunity to cure this Aiqing, so he said: "This time, forgive you for your first offense, and I will forgive you for the time being! Since this flying dragon has been stewed, why don't you offer it to me to taste." ”

Liu Yong had no choice but to instruct the chef to bring the stewed flying dragon. Qianlong ate a piece, and it was really delicious, and he praised it, and ate a few pieces one after another. Liu Yong saw that Qianlong was eating deliciously, and thought to himself, don't eat it all, leave a few pieces for me!

Qianlong saw Liu Yong's gluttony, and deliberately said: "I have something to go back to the palace, eat these today, and keep the rest for me, and I will come to eat it the next day." Liu Yong bowed his head again and again and said yes.

Qianlong drove back to the palace, but the Liu family was dumbfounded: What if it was spoiled? His servant hurriedly offered a plan, and when he heard that the tea could be stored for several days after being smoked, Liu Yong immediately ordered it to be handled in accordance with this law. After more than ten days, sure enough, Qianlong came to Liu's Mansion again, and when he entered the door, he asked: "Liu Aiqing, do you still keep the flying dragon meat that I didn't eat that day?" Liu Yong hurriedly nodded and replied: "How dare you disobey the king's order - keep it, keep it!"

As he spoke, he ordered his family to offer the dragon meat after the tea was smoked. As soon as Qianlong tasted it, the meat not only did not become rancid, but became more delicious. Long Yan Dayue immediately passed down the holy decree: ordered Liu Jiachang to make a flying dragon delicacy and send it to the palace. As a result, this 'flying dragon in the sky' became a famous dish in the palace and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Liu Mang first slaughtered the flying dragon and bleed, scalded it with boiling water, and then immersed it in brine and marinated it over low heat.

Three money Longjing, three money Mao Feng, half two monkey kui, one pound of black tea, one pound of Junshan silver needle......

The tea leaves of the smoked dragon are extremely strictly proportioned, and if the amount of tea is wrong, the taste will definitely be very different.

Liu Mang will never be careless about this......
