As a gourmet, Ke Yundan's knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and when the three sets of Huaiyang's famous dishes come to his mouth, he can naturally be talked about.

Regardless of what Sikong Yao brought himself over to talk about today, Ke Yundan is still willing to express his opinions, which can be regarded as a professional habit.

Ke Yundan said eloquently: "Three sets of ducks are actually not complicated, to put it simply, it is a wild duck inside the domestic duck, and a pigeon on the wild duck is put on the wild duck, and it is not a very big dish." But if you want to talk about it separately, then it will be very exquisite. ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "Oh, what's the point of that? ”

Ke Yundan pointed to the outermost domestic duck, and then explained: "Let's talk about this duck first, domestic ducks can only use the best old male ducks." Because the female duck is fat, the meat is soft, which will affect the overall taste. The male duck has dense skin and tight meat, and it tastes like a fiber. In the food therapy world, there is such a saying: rotten boiled old male duck, the effect is better than ginseng qi. That is to say, the effect of eating old male ducks is comparable to eating ginseng and astragalus, which shows the high nutritional value. ”

Sikong Yao nodded as if he didn't understand, expecting Ke Yundan to go further. And Ke Yundan was also happy to explain, so he continued: "After the male duck has removed the bones, it has to remove the smell. First of all, the whole boneless male duck is scalded in boiling water, and then the duck is turned out from the slaughter, so that the inside of the duck is outside, and the skin is facing inward, and then scalded with boiling water to force out all the blood in the duck meat. Then turn it back again. ”

Sikong Yao sighed: "I didn't expect these three sets of ducks to be so knowledgeable. ”

Ke Yundan shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not over, after dealing with this step." Continue to pour boiling water from the slaughterhouse. Pour out when filled. This is repeated three or four times until the smell is completely removed and the male duck is not cooked. And the process must be fast, the duck meat must not be blanched, otherwise it will be difficult to taste after cooking. ”

Sikong Yao smacked his lips, this is the first duck in the three sets of ducks, the knowledge is so complicated, it seems that it is not unreasonable that this dish can be so famous.

Ke Yundan continued: "Next, let's talk about this wild duck. Wild ducks are no better tamed than domestic ducks. If you want to catch this little guy who can fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run away when he sees someone, there are only two ways. The first is with a shotgun, and the second is with a net to ambush the duck in the place where it must pass, waiting for it to throw itself into the net. But there is a difference between this net duck and a gun duck. After the net duck hits the net, it will be frightened and struggle desperately, and the secretion of various renalines in the body will increase sharply. At this time, duck meat is full of various secretions, which is not good for health from a nutritional point of view. Therefore, gun ducks are generally used to make three sets of ducks. But there are also problems with the gun duck. The mallard duck that was shot at was riddled with shrapnel fragments all over its flesh. These crumbs must be removed before they can be eaten. But with so many fragments, how can we know that this hole has been cut and that hole has not been cut? This second duck's knowledge is here. We insert a toothpick for every bullet hole we dig in. Some of the mallards were shot more often and were stuck like hedgehogs. It was brought out to show the guests so that it could show that the pellets had been removed. ”

Sikong Yao was surprised to hear it, these three sets of ducks have been eaten, but he has never seen how to make them, and he simply thought that they were simple rings.

Ke Yundan took the trouble to continue to explain: "In the wild duck, it is also a duck, and if it is a duck, it will also have a smell, and the second step is also to remove the smell. The smell of wild ducks is mainly concentrated on the abdomen and sides of the thighs, because there is more meat in these parts, so the smell is not easy to remove. You can use an awl to poke some small eyes on this part of the meat, and then put the whole duck in hot water to scald, at this time the duck meat will suddenly tighten when heated, so that the smell and blood can be squeezed out of the eyes. ”

Sikong Yao was happy in it, so he asked curiously, "What about this vegetable pigeon?" ”

Ke Yundan nodded, signaling Sikong Yao not to rush. Ke Yundan also picked up the chopsticks, gently swiped to the bottom of the three sets of ducks, and said: "Finally, let's take a look at the pigeons, which are the most particular part of the three sets of ducks." ”

Sikong Yao was puzzled, so she asked, "What's the point?" ”

Ke Yundan explained: "After hatching from the pigeon egg, within 20 days, it is called a suckling pigeon. ”

Sikong Yao smiled: ". At the same time, the meat of the pigeon is thick and tender, the nourishing effect is strong, the pigeon meat is delicious, the meat is delicate, rich in crude protein and a small amount of inorganic salt and other nutrients, and it is superior to use it to braise it. ”

Ke Yundan responded: "Exactly, the meat of the pigeon is too tender, suitable for heavy ingredients to taste, and work the process, so it is not suitable for making three sets of ducks." Therefore, the pigeons in the three sets of ducks must be about four months old. But once a pigeon has grown its wings, it is difficult to tell whether it is a year-old pigeon or a few months old in terms of appearance, and the weight is about the same. So at this point only experienced pigeon breeders can distinguish them. ”

Sikong Yao asked curiously, "Can a layman see it?" ”

Ke Yundan brushed aside the heads of the three sets of ducks, pointed to the neck of the rookie pigeon to show Sikong Yao, and said, "Look at this position." ”

Sikong Yao took a closer look and found that the pigeon's neck was slightly raised, as if it had been folded, so he asked, "What's going on?" ”

Ke Yundan explained: "This is the key to distinguish whether a pigeon is four months old or not, and the pigeon's head is pushed back as much as possible, because the pigeon is too immature to know how to resist, so it has to be at the mercy of others." Adult pigeons are more stubborn and will push their heads forward desperately. But pigeons that are only about four months old will be different, they will resist a little, but because they don't have enough strength, they won't resist if they can't resist anymore. So it has to do with their growing habits, so if you don't have many years of experience in pigeon breeding, you can't tell them apart. ”

Sikong Yao nodded and responded, "I see." ”

Ke Yundan smiled happily: "The meat of the pigeon is tender and suitable for fried, such as the more famous crispy pigeon." The meat of the adult pigeon is on the old side, and it is not applicable here, because the pigeon is hidden in the innermost part of the three sets of ducks, and the meat is heated layer by layer from the outside to the inside, and the meat quality is also from the old male duck to the wild duck and then to the pigeon, from old to tender gradually excessive. However, this dish takes about 3 hours to live, so the pigeon meat is too tender to cook, and too old to cook thoroughly. This is also the essence of making this dish. ”

Sikong Yao nodded contentedly, signaling that he was completely clear.

Seeing this, Ke Yundan said: "Now that the three sets of duck knowledge are here, are there any questions?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded, looked at Ke Yundan's eyes, and asked, "If you let Mayor Ke be elected, would you be willing to be one of the three sets of ducks?" ”

Ke Yundan frowned slightly, and muttered in his heart, what does this Sikong Yao mean?

Ke Yundan was confused for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid this analogy is inappropriate, right?" ”

Sikong Yao smiled: "That's too, no one wants to be a dish to be slaughtered, right?" ”

Ke Yundan nodded and responded, "That's natural, so why are you asking me that?" ”

Sikong Yao put the chopsticks against Caige's body and said with a smile: "But why do I feel that my neck seems to be choked?" ”

Ke Yundan's brows were twisted, Sikong Yao's meaning was obviously hostile, and the puzzled Ke Yundan asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Sikong Yao didn't want to beat around the bush, so she said straightforwardly: "I think, Mayor Ke, will you treat me as this young pigeon with unfinished wings?" ”

Ke Yundan's expression became serious, and he asked, "Sikong Yao, what do you mean by this?" Someone threatens you? ”

The corners of Sikong Yao's mouth rose slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Don't Mayor Ke think so?" ”

Ke Yundan was stunned, and said slightly angrily: "You mean? I? ”

Sikong Yao was noncommittal, but said, "Regarding the matter of Master Chef and the Key of Greed, I figured it out last night, and it seems that something is wrong." ”

Ke Yundan tried to restrain his emotions and asked step by step, "Sikong Yao, do you have any opinions on Master Chef?" ”

Sikong Yao shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't dare, it's just that everyone's position is different, it's hard for me to believe you, whether you are a real master chef or not." ”

The green tendons on Ke Yundan's temples bulged slightly, and it was obvious that he was already a little angry at Sikong Yao's offensive provocative words.

"Sikong Yao, are you doubting my identity?"

Sikong Yao nodded lightly and said, "At least you haven't proven the authenticity of your identity to me." How do you want me to trust you, are you a master chef or a key to greed? Both of them have the same purpose, which is to take the test place of the Heart of the Holy Food, and if you are a member of the Keys of Greed, then if I help you, will you be committing a mortal sin? ”

Ke Yundan clenched his fists tightly, then sighed and said, "Sikong Yao, what you said is not unreasonable, it is indeed my mistake. Didn't prove my identity like you. ”

Sikong Yao was slightly touched, judging from this reaction, the probability of Ke Yundan's speculation that he was a member of the Key of Greed was a little lower.

Sikong Yao nodded lightly and said, "Then please ask Mayor Ke to come up with some evidence to make me believe in your identity." After all, it's about the future of the food industry, and I can't trust anyone easily. The struggle for power in your realm is still too heavy for me. ”

Ke Yundan nodded, what Sikong Yao said was not that he couldn't understand, after all, it was indeed too much for such a little girl to take on these things.

Ke Yundan further said: "Sikong Yao, I'm sorry. I can't come up with any evidence to prove my identity, as it involves the secrets of the Order. (To be continued......)
