Chapter 554: Flower Carving Chicken
"Miss Xia is really imposing today!" Su Miao looked Xia Jinxuan up and down, although Xia Jinxuan came very imposingly, but Xia Jinxuan's size was a little shorter than her, and no matter how imposing she was, she could only shrink in front of her length, Su Miao said with a smile.

"Miss Su seems to be in a good mood today?" Xia Jinxuan is not afraid of her height, even if she is a lot shorter than Su Miao, standing in front of Su Miao, she is still full of momentum and strength, so people can't underestimate her.
"Really?" Su Miao bent her eyebrows and said with a smile.
"You didn't take me seriously in the first two games, and now, you're finally going to face me?" Xia Jinxuan looked at her with a flat face, condensed her voice, and said lightly.
Su Miao laughed because of her words: "Don't use the ambiguous/ambiguous statement 'you are competing with me to make me face you', I don't know and think you have a crush on me!" She said as she reached out and stroked her pointed chin while Xia Jinxuan wasn't paying attention.
Xia Jinxuan was about to slap her hand away, and frowned in displeasure.
"This round, are you going to show your real skills to compare with me?" Su Miao asked with a smile.
Xia Jinxuan looked at her intently, was silent for a long time, spoke, and replied in a deep voice:
"That's right!"
Su Miao smiled, nodded, turned around, and walked towards the stage while saying to her without looking back:
"I don't need an assistant today, you feel free." As he spoke, the man had already stepped onto the stage in style.
Xia Jinxuan's assistant saw that Su Miao was smiling and smiling, and she looked bad at calculating people, so she was nervous, stepped forward, and persuaded in a low voice:
"The eldest lady can't fall for that woman's way, that woman is ghostly, there must be some conspiracy without helping the cook, the eldest lady doesn't pay attention to her, just do what you want!"
Xia Jinxuan didn't expect Su Miao to leave such a sentence at her, glanced at the viewing seat, only saw Feng Erniu, her mind turned two corners, and she understood Su Miao's approach a little, Su Miao was suspicious of Zhao Ping, but because there was no evidence, and she didn't want to chill the hearts of her subordinates, in the case of tight time, she could only choose not to bring anyone on stage alone.
Thinking of this, Xia Jinxuan snorted.
"Miss!" The assistant looked at her as if he didn't listen to his words and wanted to say more.
Xia Jinxuan took away the wine jar that he had been holding from his arms, hugged it herself, and said lightly:
"You're watching from the audience this round."
"Miss!"
"Miss!" The assistants whispered in disapproval.
Xia Jinxuan turned a deaf ear, she held the wine jar, walked slowly onto the stage, did not squint, went straight to her cooking table, and stood up.
Su Miao didn't expect her to agree so happily, raised her eyebrows, propped her hands on the cooking table, looked in the direction of Xia Jinxuan, and said with a smile:
"Miss Xia, you are really confident in yourself, which makes me admire!"
If it weren't for her self-confidence, Xia Jinxuan's idea of going head-to-head with her would never have been stirring in her heart; If it weren't for the confidence in her craft, Xia Jinxuan would never easily let her assistant leave the stage and go on stage alone. All the behaviors that Xia Jinxuan is doing now that seem incomprehensible to others are because she is very confident in her craft, and subconsciously she believes that she will not lose, so no matter how many means she secretly uses to win the game, deep down she still longs to rely on her own strength to win the battle, which is her self-esteem.
Today, Xia Jinxuan's self-esteem has broken through all obstacles, and she has regained her self-esteem, so she is high-spirited.
Xia Jinxuan glanced at Su Miao and said lightly:
"Miss Su, the look of victory on your face is also because you think you will never lose to me, right?" In other words, the two sides are full of confidence in each other.
Su Miao smiled: "Although I think there are many places where you are similar to me, but I have more experience than you, so I think I will win." ā
"Experience?" Xia Jinxuan sneered.
"Don't underestimate the experience, this line is a step-by-step business, as long as you start to do this line of work, you can't stop, once you stop, the feeling will dissipate immediately, the grasp of taste is no longer sensitive, and the sense of smell will gradually disappear, but you can't start from scratch, you can only drag the pale and incomplete past to move forward in chaos, and in the end, the craft will be abolished." Su Miao said with a smile, "Just like you are now, you will be abolished soon." ā
She said some cruel and vicious words with a smiling expression, and this sentence stabbed Xia Jinxuan's heart fiercely, she was furious, gritted her back molars, smiled reluctantly, and said in a stiff tone:
"Miss Su, the game hasn't started yet, it's unknown who will lose and who won, don't talk too much, so as not to be embarrassed later!"
"You say hideous things with a smiling expression, so that you don't look better, why laugh when you're angry?" Su Miao propped her cheeks with one hand, looked at her, and asked coldly.
Xia Jinxuan didn't expect her to turn the topic to her expression, such a turn caught her off guard, and her eyes were already stunned before her anger subsided.
"People who can't control their joys and sorrows can't make delicious dishes, and in the same way, blindly enduring their joys, sorrows, and sorrows hide all their emotions in dignified gentleness, and the dishes made by such boring people are also boring."
Xia Jinxuan stared straight at Su Miao, her chest heaving, she was angry, but Su Miao's words were like an uninterrupted echo after the gong and drum were beaten.
"Miss Xia, whether it's your face or your approach, you were too boring before, let me take a look at you who are interesting, and then, lose to me without regrets, admit that I am indeed more experienced than you, how about it?" Su Miao leaned her back on the cooking table, clasped her hands on her chest, looked at Xia Jinxuan sideways, and asked with a smile.
Xia Jinxuan's face turned blue, and she could see that she was trying to suppress the anger that was about to erupt, Su Miao's bland and casual words made her angry, but she couldn't think of words to fight back because she was too angry, she stared at Su Miao fiercely with a pair of big black and white eyes, and wanted to slap her twice.
Facing Xia Jinxuan, who was desperately suppressing her anger, Su Miao only smiled lazily, and she turned around slowly, because the judges arrived one after another.
As soon as Master Jiang came out, he saw Su Miao and Xia Jinxuan standing on the stage, Xia Jinxuan's three assistants stood stupidly under the stage, he specially swept around, Su Miao's assistants only Feng Erniu was sitting in the viewing seat, looking nervous.
"Why every time I meet Su Miao, she makes me out one moth after another, I have done several chef competitions, and I have never been like her! What about the cook, what about the cook, the competition stipulates that there are three cooks, and she changed the rules for me casually, and also pulled Xia Jinxuan to change the rules! Master Jiang couldn't help but complain to Master Jingming.
Master Jingming pretended not to hear, and walked to his seat in three steps and two steps, and the old god sat down on the ground. Su Miao or something, he doesn't want to care anymore, he feels his head hurt when he hears the word "Su Miao" now, although what Su Miao made is really unstoppable. He still only eats what she makes, and let her go with the rest, as long as he doesn't go out of line, he plans to turn a blind eye to the small places.
Seeing that Master Jingming ignored him, Master Jiang was a verbose person, so he simply went to the stage and asked Su Miao directly:
"Where's your cook?"
"They're on vacation."
"Huh?" Master Jiang laughed, lowered his voice, and said to her in a serious tone, "Miss Su, the King of Chefs Competition is to select the famous chef of Yue Liang Kingdom, which is true, but it is also to make the people of the whole city happy together, although it is a competition, the excitement of the process is equally important, and you must let the people watching from the side think that you are very exciting." So, in order not to spoil the wonderful game, Miss Su, can you not modify the rules of the game without authorization? Since I met you in Toyosu, I feel like I'm ten years old all of a sudden, so you can't let me worry less? I get nervous every time you go on stage, and now it's almost a problem! ā
"Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang, don't worry!" Su Miao patted him on the shoulder with a grin and promised, "Believe me, this scene, there is no assistant chef more exciting than having a helping chef!" ā
Master Jiang looked at her with distrust, looked at her for a long time, and asked in a confirmed tone:
"Really? You won't come nonsense again? ā
"How can I be here?" Su Miao said innocently.
"The king of chefs is on the shabu-shabu, aren't you nonsense?" Lord Jiang reprimanded her harshly.
"Lord Jiang, you are still the imperial chef, as the imperial chef, you don't understand the breadth and profundity of hot pot at all......"
"Don't make shabu-shabu again!" Lord Jiang strictly forbidden.
Su Miao blinked her eyes twice and pursed her lips, this person was really verbose and boring.
Mr. Jiang stood in front of the stage and started a long and boring opening remarks, the audience was probably tired of his opening remarks, almost no one was listening, but Mr. Jiang himself was very happy, and from time to time he could amuse himself, Su Miao felt that it would be more promising for him to go under the bridge to talk about stand-up comedy than being an imperial chef.
The theme of the third round had already been decided, and when the veil was reopened, it did not cause a big shock, and a big word "drunk" came into view, and most people found the theme a little difficult.
When you think of drunkenness, you naturally think of alcohol, but putting alcohol in a dish and feeling intoxicated when you taste it are two different things. If you just put wine, most of the meat dishes will be seasoned with rice wine to remove the fishy, but this is completely different from being able to be "intoxicating". It is not only necessary to use wine in the dish, but also to use the dishes with added wine so that the taster does not get drunk and everyone gets drunk.
First of all, the taste of the wine itself is strong, if the amount added is not well controlled, the strong wine will cover up the aroma of all the ingredients, and it will become a very bad taste; Secondly, not everyone likes the taste of alcohol, and how to make people who don't like the taste of alcohol accept this alcoholic dish is also a problem that needs to be overcome; Finally, the degree of reaction of alcohol in the human body, you can't put too much alcohol, but you can't put too much, you can't highlight the theme, and too much will be thought to be the cause of intoxication is alcohol rather than food. The ideal state is to let the taster taste a little mellow aroma, so that the aroma of the wine slowly flows to the whole body under the impetus of the aroma of the dish itself, prompting the human body to relax, and in the process of relaxation, enjoy the feeling of freedom when naturally becoming slightly drunk.
These Su Miao and Xia Jinxuan both understood that the two of them had brought their own wine today, especially Xia Jinxuan, the jar of wine she brought looked a little old, as if it had just been dug out of the soil, and the bottom of the jar was still a little damp with soil.
Xia Jinxuan took the whole chicken, after it was cleaned, put it in a pot of boiling water and blanched it, took it out and dried it until the skin was dry, evenly smeared it on the chicken skin with honey, put the iron pot on the hot fire and heated it, and pasted the fat pork with white flowers on the bottom of the pot, watching it melt little by little, at this time, put the chicken into the pot with a layer of pork until the two sides of the chicken were fried to a slight yellow, pour in the green onion and ginger and mix well, and then began to inject Huadiao wine.
Xia Jinxuan tore open the wine seal on the wine jar, and a sweet and fragrant fragrance immediately rushed out of the wine jar and quickly spread around. The aroma of wine flowed very fast, and almost at the same time, everyone on and off the stage smelled the crisp and fragrant aroma of wine.
Even the aftertaste couldn't help but sniff and said two words: "Good wine!" ā
"This wine is so fragrant, not to mention that it is also a flower carving for more than ten years, the spring water and glutinous rice used must be the best, and it is too bad to take such a good flower carving wine to stew chicken!" Su Xian couldn't help but say.
"Eighty percent of them used that." Acacia Green, who had been silent in the back row, suddenly spoke and snorted.
"What?" Su Xian asked.
Acacia Green glanced at her, pursed her lips, and said:
"When Xia Jinxuan was born, her father brewed her daughter red, which has been buried under the pear tree in her yard. I heard that her father spent a lot of money to ask for koji when making wine, and the spring water used for brewing was the most suitable for brewing in Funing Province, and the spring water dried up in the second year of her birth, and it was impossible to use the spring water of Zuixian Spring to make wine. The sixteen-year-old daughter Hong was given her as a dowry, and she took out her dowry to stew chicken! Acacia Green sneered.
"And this kind of origin!" Chunniang exclaimed, "It seems that Miss Xia has made a bloody investment this time!" She began to recall the process of Su Miao's search for wine yesterday, and recalled that what flashed in her mind for a long time was that Sister Miao was always playing, and she was there to play at all.
Will such a wonderful sister really win, Chunniang began to worry.
When the fragrance of Huadiao wine wafted through the audience, causing a huge commotion, only Su Miao, as if she hadn't seen anything, heard nothing, didn't feel anything, she stood quietly in front of the cooking table, her wet hands churning in the meat filling bowl, and then clumping into one palatable size pearl ball after another.
Xia Jinxuan was the same, she didn't care that the Huadiao wine she brought made the audience boil, and her attention was all focused on the dishes she was cooking.
Pour Huadiao wine into the pot, add the sauce, cover and bring to a boil. After boiling, take the pot away from the stove, wait until the temperature of the pot drops down slightly, then put it back on the stove to continue heating, and so on eight times, during which the chicken body must be turned over three times, and wait until the last end is off the stove, the Huadiao chicken will be quietly simmered for three minutes, and then the lid will be lifted.
The intoxicating aroma comes to your face, and the ingredients are removed, the chicken is removed, cut into pieces, arranged, and the original juice used to cook the chicken is poured on the plate.
Huadiao chicken, the meat is soft and tender, the aroma is rich, and the taste that wafts out is already intoxicating. (To be continued.) )
