Chapter 179: White-cut concubine chicken
Little by little, time passes......
"Sir, the white-cut chaise chicken you want!" said the beautiful waitress with a smile, "Please use it slowly!"
The beautiful waitress left the box and slowly closed the door, and Chang Xiao was the only one left in the box. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chang Xiao rubbed his fingers and refocused his gaze on the white-cut chaise chicken on the table, this dish is a classic Cantonese dish that he has chosen after thinking about it for a long time, and I believe it should not disappoint him.
Since it is a classic of Cantonese cuisine, it has to be said that there is still a small allusion to this white-cut concubine chicken, which also has a lot to do with the origin of its name.
According to legend, when Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Yuhuan drank and sang and played for themselves, the poetry of wine came to their hearts, and both of them couldn't help but be a little drunk, and their bodies and spirits couldn't help but become fluttery, and Yang Yuhuan took advantage of the opportunity to start sprinkling on Tang Minghuang Li Longji, and said delicately and charmingly: "I want to fly to the sky!"
Li Longji was also fluttering at the moment, where could he withstand Yang Guifei's charm and coquettishness, and after hearing the sound, he immediately ordered the imperial dining room to step up the cooking of "Flying to the Sky", a delicacy that Yang Guifei longed for.
But even the imperial chefs in the palace have never heard of a dish that "flies to the sky", which is simply unheard of and unseen, which can be called incredible!
I have never seen it or heard of it, so how can we talk about how to do it? But if we can't do it, it is just a matter of bullying the king, and the crime of killing the head is something that has not been run, and with Li Longji's favor for Yang Guifei, they are basically doomed.
The so-called endless road, at this time, a royal chef originally from Suzhou, saw that the blade of death was about to fall, but he was in a hurry, and suddenly had a whim, thinking of the meaning of flying with chicken wings, and the chicken wings themselves are more tender and more suitable as ingredients, so he suggested that chicken wings should be used as the main dish to make a 'fly to the sky'!
Many imperial chefs hurriedly found a few boy chickens, which were cut off by the imperial chef from Suzhou, and then stewed with shiitake mushrooms, green vegetables, and tender bamboo shoots, and then served with green peppers and enough seasonings. Then, when the chicken is ready, the whole kitchen is already full of fragrance.
When it was finally brought to Yang Guifei's face, it was immediately aroused by this delicious and bright roast chicken wings, and after tasting it, it was even more praised, without hesitation to praise it, and when asked about the name of the dish, the surrounding waiters replied "fly to the sky".
How do you know that after Yang Guifei ate this 'flying to the sky' once, she couldn't help but miss the next time, and every time she ate after that, she had to order such a dish, and over time, the imperial chefs simply called it "Guifei Chicken" in private.
This little story was accidentally discovered by Chang Xiao when he checked the information about this white-cut concubine chicken, and regardless of its authenticity, in terms of its content, it is still quite interesting.
At this moment, the white-cut concubine chicken shown in front of Chang Xiao's eyes is what he is looking forward to, after all, this is one of the four beauties of ancient times, Yang Yuhuan's favorite food, although time has passed, Hongyan is long gone, but with Hongyan across the era of the same food, not tasting is not a wonderful experience, with this mentality, Chang Xiao picked up the chopsticks on the table.
Looking at the golden brown white cut chaise chicken that is cut into pieces of uniform size and pieced together, although there are traces of knife cuts, but it still faintly reveals a trace of noble temperament, perhaps the mutilation is the perfect sentence, resting on the white cut chaise chicken in front of you, it is undoubtedly the best modification.
In addition to this eye-catching plate of white-cut concubine chicken, there is also a small plate of special sauce, a faint aroma is quietly released, sandwiching a piece of white-cut concubine chicken, swaying slightly in front of the eyes, a faint fragrance will come to the nose, without the slightest fishy smell mixed with it, and from the gap between the chopsticks of Changxiao, you can faintly see the bones with a trace of blood.
Chang Xiao did not send the white-cut chaise chicken held by chopsticks directly into his mouth, but first dipped the special sauce in the small plate, and then put it in his mouth, and in an instant, a wonderful and indescribable taste was slowly released in Chang Xiao's mouth.
For a moment, Chang Xiao felt as if he had come to a misty fairyland, the swirling clouds and mist exuded a refreshing aroma, and gradually the clouds and mist in the distance quietly rolled, as if in the core of the clouds, there was a person dancing.
The clouds dispersed, but the figure behind the clouds never appeared, but the clouds and fog were getting thinner and thinner.
The aroma of onions, scallops, water chestnuts, ham, green onions and ginger quietly diffused in the clouds, and suddenly, there seemed to be a loud rooster crying in the depths of the clouds, and then, a swift figure leaped out from the depths of the clouds, and the wings spread out like an eagle taking off from the air, and at the same time blew away most of the clouds and mist.
The figure hidden in the clouds and mist was also suddenly exposed to Chang Xiao's sight, only for a moment, and only for a glance, but that moment, a glance, was already completely enough, and further, it was a bit of an inch.
One eye!
It seems that the heaven and the earth have lost their color, the sky has become low, the land has become narrow, for a moment, there is only one person between heaven and earth, and only one person is allowed to exist, that thrilling beauty, is the most often laughed at all the beautiful words, are far from being able to describe the beauty and temperament, it seems to be like the heavenly immortals in the nether world, both enviable, and at the same time can only be viewed from a distance, the distance between each other is really terrible!
Whew~Whew~
Chang Xiao exhaled a few deep breaths, but the figure in his heart never dissipated, which made him both surprised and felt a trace of unattainable regret.
It turned out that at some point, a large plate of white-cut chaise chicken had disappeared for the most part, and Chang Xiao's stomach could no longer accommodate more meals at the moment.
Chang Xiao put down the chopsticks in his hand, at this moment he felt that he only ordered a dish of white-cut concubine chicken, how wise it is, food lies in enjoyment, and when there is too much food, it becomes a burden, a waste, although Chang Xiao is not bad for money, but he hates waste, a food to solve a meal, is also a perfect thing.
Through this white-cut concubine chicken, Chang Xiao also learned one thing, that is, although it is said that 'the master is in the folk', but 'it is also worthy of the name under the fame', the level of this white-cut concubine chicken is completely one of the highest levels in Chang Xiao's memory, and the taste is really impeccable!
