After brewing a pot of tea and drinking it for a long time, and turning over a dozen pages of "Guwen Guanzhi", Liu Mang looked at the time and opened the lid of the stainless steel barrel.

By this time, the temperature in the barrel had already given the chicken skin a faint crimson color, and the aroma of the fruit wood and chicken roasted came to the nose.

"It's still hot. Liu Mang pressed the chicken body with his fingers, took some fruit charcoal and added it, and re-closed the lid.

After waiting for an hour, Liu Mang added charcoal again and roasted it until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, when it was time to prepare for business.

"Yes, it's time to start smoking. When Liu Mang opened the lid of the barrel and saw that the chicken skin had been browned and shelled, oozing a layer of attractive oil, he nodded with satisfaction.

The peeled lychee shells were soaked in water and then evenly sprinkled on the charcoal that was still glowing red at the bottom of the barrel.

A large amount of smoke rose quickly, and this smoke was cyan with a sweet, fruity aroma.

Liu Mang immediately closed the lid and turned on the range hood.

"This dish is troublesome, but it should work well. Liu Mang fanned the wind with his hand, smelled the smoke in the air, and muttered to himself.

"Boss, it's time now. Tanya poked her head out of the doorway with a smile.

"You're just in time. I'll be ready for this dish right away. Liu Mang raised his head and said with a smile.

"Hmm...... Boss, are you making smokers?" Tanya sniffed.

"It's not. Liu Mang shook his head: "I'm making a special dish." ”

"What dish?"

"Fengzangdan. ”

"Fengzangdan? Tanya tilted her head, thought hard for a moment, and replied.

"It's a dish I came up with on my own, and today is the first time I've made it. ”

"Really, I'm the first guest to taste it?" Tanya said excitedly.

"Of course, I haven't even tasted it myself. Liu Mang also smiled: "However, I can't be sure of the taste, it may be delicious or it may be very difficult." ”

"That's okay! I have faith in my boss. Tanya looked around: "Why didn't you see Xiaoliu?"

"Let's go out with Ah Fu. Liu Mang replied: "Miss Tan, you get out of the way, I'm going to take out the dishes, it's going to be a little choking." ”

"Oh, okay. Tanya, who was standing next to Liu Mang, walked out of the back kitchen and sat down in front of the bar.

Liu Mang lifted the lid of the stainless steel barrel, and a thick smoke mixed with a large amount of heat came out.

"Ahem!" Liu Mang coughed twice, quickly fanned the lid, and fanned the smoke from the barrel to the suction port of the range hood.

"Failed, or messed up?" After the smoke cleared, Liu Mang looked into the barrel.

In the remnants of the smoke, the five smoked chickens in the barrel exude an alluring aroma, the crimson color, like the best color of dansha, giving people a dazzling beauty.

"It's done!" Liu Mang was excited, wrapped the iron hook with a rag, and took one of the smoked chickens out of the stainless steel bucket.

"Click! click!" Tanya raised her camera and slapped at the smoked chicken that Liu Mang was carrying.

"What a beautiful color! Just a few glances make people very appetizing!"

Liu Mang placed the smoked chicken on the cutting board, removed the bamboo skewers that sewed the belly of the chicken, picked up a kitchen knife, and cut the belly through the hole.

"Wow!" Tanya couldn't help but let out an exclamation when the chicken belly was cut open.

The dissected belly was bright red, and the inside was full of steaming red cherries.

"No wonder it's called Fengzangdan, it turns out that there are cherries hidden in it. Tanya understood.

Liu Mang scooped out the cherries in the belly of the chicken with a spoon and prepared to chop the chicken into pieces and put it on the plate.

"Boss, don't you want the cherries in the belly?" Seeing Liu Mang pick up the cherries and walk towards the trash can, Tanya asked.

"Well, no. Liu Mang nodded: "Although this dish is called 'Fengzangdan', it is not the cherry in it." ”

"What a pity! Let me taste it, I love cherries. ”

"Well, you taste it. Liu Mang took out the plate of cherries and sent them to the bar.

Tanya picked up a toothpick and pricked a cherry from her plate and put it into her mouth.

"How's it taste?" asked Liu Mang.

"It's not delicious! It doesn't taste at all, and it's a little soft. Tanya pouted.

"Of course it's not tasty. Liu Mang took the plate again and poured all the cherries into the garbage can: "The sweetness in the cherries, after roasting and smoking, has all penetrated into the chicken, and the rest must be tasteless." ”

"It's all in the chicken, what should it taste like. Tanya couldn't help but look forward to the next dish.

A chicken is split in half, and Liu Mang chops half of it into pieces and sends it to the bar.

"This is my own sour plum sauce, so if you don't like it tastes light, you can dip it in the sauce. Liu Mang pointed to the small plate on the side of the plate and said.

"Okay. Tanya nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and took a piece of smoked chicken wings from her plate and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

With a light bite, the chicken immediately separates from the flesh and bones. The chicken skin has a smoky kiwifruit aroma that is evocative.

As the chewing quickens, the sweet flavor of the chicken explodes in the mouth, rippling layer by layer on the tip of the tongue.

Liu Mang was right, the flavor of cherries had completely penetrated into the chicken.

This kind of sweetness is different from sweetness, which will make people greasy, but the sweetness of pure fruit, gently teasing the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, making people's saliva secrete a lot, and every time you chew, it is like walking in an orchard with fresh air in the morning.

"It's delicious! it's delicious!" just in the blink of an eye, the chicken wings were gnawed by Tanya, and even the chicken bones were sucked and sucked, not wanting to break free from this wonderful taste at all.

"Well, it's really successful!" When Tanya tasted this 'Fengzang Dan', Liu Mang himself took a chicken leg from the cutting board and nibbled on it.

"It's the right thing to smoke with lychee husks. There is sugar in the lychee shell, which makes the skin of smoked chicken more beautiful and gives it a special aroma. ”

As the inventor of this dish, Liu Mang naturally tasted something different.

"The cherries are also in the right place. It is sweet enough and juicy, if you change it to other fruits, I am afraid it will not have such a good effect. ”

"However, there are still some shortcomings. The time for the chicken to marinate is too short, and the moisture in the meat is not completely locked, if you do it again next time, apply a layer of honey after marinating to cover the holes in the chicken, and the effect will definitely be much better. ”

"Boss, can you give me a copy?" Tan Ya asked weakly while Liu Mang was thinking.

"Huh, are you done?"

"yes, because it's so delicious!" Tanya said embarrassedly, sucking her fingers.

"Okay, I'll cut it for you right away. ”
