Fried chicken and barbecue have become hot foods in Ningdu, Yunyan Street was not a commercial street in the first place, and after the chicken was opened, many people in Ningdu came to visit.

For hungry children, eating a meal of fried chicken has become a luxury for everyone, and more and more aristocrats and wealthy people are flocking to it, resulting in fried chicken restaurants already overcrowded.

Merchants are very profitable, whether it is a restaurant, a teahouse for storytelling, or a green house and inn, as long as there is a place full of customers, they want to make fried chicken and barbecue, so as to attract customers to stay.

At first, they all vied with each other to imitate it, but what they made was many times worse than that of the gnawing chicken.

They didn't think that the oil of this fried chicken is extracted from pork fat, compared to lard, the chicken fried in tea oil and vegetable oil is not so fragrant, and it also has a strong smell of tea oil and tea oil, which is naturally not much better.

And the most important thing, they don't know what is the layer of stuff wrapped around the surface of the chicken? Without breadcrumbs, can fried chicken look good and be delicious?

The barbecue looks easy, but they don't have smokeless charcoal, and the most important thing is that the barbecue has a strong smoky smell on it, which makes many people disgusted.

In desperation, they gave up on their own research, and it was better to spend some money to buy a large amount of money, and then sell it at a higher price.

But this is also a problem, the customers who nibble on the chicken every day are full, and they have to queue up to buy it. And you can't sell it immediately after you buy it, and when the fried chicken and barbecue are cold, the taste is also a lot worse.

Therefore, many people began to think in their hearts and spend money on the secret recipe of fried chicken and barbecue. But during this time, Xu Xiang and Yang Dianfeng have been busy with the affairs of the homeless people, so they didn't go to the store at all, and the store was handed over to Aunt Wang's son to take care of.

These people can't be found at all, and they can't talk about it.

Seeing that the business in their store was slowly declining, they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Some businessmen with a bit of a powerful background want to make some insidious tricks, but Cui Mi stopped in the store, and there are many noble sons on the second floor every day, if you accidentally offend these people, you can directly pronounce the death penalty.

Just when they were at a loss, they received an invitation to go to the Xu Mansion on Yunyan Street for a banquet, and the invitation also mentioned that the recipe for fried chicken and barbecue would be announced.

This made the merchants of Ningdu very interested, so before the time came, these uninvited people who received invitations gathered in Xufu.

A total of more than forty people came, divided into three tables, and the subordinates of the Xu Mansion welcomed them into the living room and sat down separately.

The whole living room began to talk to each other, and most of the people came for the fried chicken and barbecue, so naturally they chatted around this topic.

While they were chatting enthusiastically, a young man in a blue brocade robe came out of the inner hall, followed by a middle-aged man dressed as a butler.

"Ladies and gentlemen! In Xu Changsha, the owner of Xia Xu Mansion, the gnawing chicken on Yunyan Street is in the shop! Xu Xiang came to the main seat, arched his hand to everyone, and said hello.

A middle-aged man with a big belly at the table on the right got up and said, "Young Master Xu looks like a talent, don't you say that this chicken is your shop, I thought I came to the house of the son of a nobleman's family!" ”

Xu Xiang smiled slightly and asked back, "What do you call this outsider?" ”

The man opened his mouth and replied: "Xu Mosheng, the shopkeeper of Xianghuan Building in the Lower White Tiger City, is still from Young Master Xu's own family!" ”

"It turned out to be Shopkeeper Xu!" Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said politely, "Shopkeeper Xu, please sit down first, you don't have to be so polite." ”

A woman from the table on the left got up and said with a smile: "Young Master Xu, the slave family is the Xiuniang of the Jade Pavilion, this time it is uninvited, and I hope that Young Master Xu will not drive me away!" ”

"Where, where! As long as you come to my Xu Mansion, you will naturally be a guest, and Xu has always been hospitable, so she naturally won't do this! ”

"I heard that Young Master Xu deliberately announced the recipe for this fried chicken and barbecue? I don't know when it will be announced, and who is eligible to get your formula? Xiuniang asked again, then sighed and said: "Alas, those distinguished guests of our Jade Pavilion want to eat some barbecue while drinking, but you said that the chickens that are gnawed on this big night are also closed, where can I get him barbecue!" ”

When everyone heard Xiuniang's question, they all began to concentrate, planning to listen to the people of the Xu Mansion announce the recipe for fried chicken and barbecue, but they also knew that if they wanted to get this recipe, it would not be so simple.

For this reason, they brought enough money to buy the recipe, even if it cost a lot of money.

Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry too much about this recipe, I invited everyone to the banquet today, just for this matter!" Tonight, I will give you a free copy of the recipe and how to make the fried chicken and barbecue, and everyone here will have one! ”

"Is Young Master Xu serious?" Someone asked with doubts, everyone knows what is the most profitable food in Ningdu now, that is, this fried chicken and barbecue!

Is he going to give it away for free? How can it be? If you don't make a lot of money and give it to everyone, how can there be such a fool in the world? That's the first thought on everyone's mind.

Everyone began to talk to each other and discuss the authenticity of Xu Xiang's words.

"Young Master Xu really gave it away for free? This is the most profitable business of gnawing chickens now, if you give it to us, after we make it, the business of your gnawing chickens will be greatly affected! Xu Mosheng asked suspiciously.

"For free, of course!" Xu Xiang said seriously, and then said to Yang Dianfeng beside him: "Bring the things up!" ”

Soon, the servant came over with a large cauldron and put the pot directly on a makeshift cooking table.

The subordinate in the back carried a huge porcelain jar, and inside the jar were some white things that I didn't know what they were.

After cleaning the cauldron, the servants began to burn the fire, and the fire became more and more vigorous, and the iron pot was already burned red.

I saw that they used an iron spoon to scoop the white things in the porcelain jar into the pot, and after the white things met the red-hot iron pot, they quickly melted and emitted a strong oil fragrance.

"This is oil? How can it be so fragrant? Someone screamed in surprise.

Xu Xiang began to explain: "This is one of the differences between our fried chicken and the fried chicken you make, I have heard that you have also tried to make fried chicken, using tea oil or vegetable oil, but when it is fried, the fried chicken will be attached to the thick taste of tea oil or vegetable oil, which greatly reduces the taste of the fried chicken." ”

"But my oil is different, the smell of the oil itself is the fragrance of the meat, whether it is an ordinary commoner or a nobleman, the meat can never be refused!"

"I see! Young Master Xu, is this going to share this oil with us? Someone suddenly realized.

"This outsider misunderstood, I only sell this oil and don't give it away, except for fried chicken, this oil can be used appropriately in other dishes, and it can also improve the taste of dishes." Xu Xiang replied.

When everyone heard it, it turned out to be the case, saying that it was a free formula, but in fact, it was also to sell this oil, but they felt that this was understandable, just to buy some oil, and it didn't cost a few dollars.

"But I don't know Young Master Xu, what is the price of oil?" Someone started asking.

"It's five big dollars a liter cheaper than tea oil, what do you think?" Xu Xiang said.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, they thought that such a good oil was more expensive than tea oil and vegetable oil, but they didn't expect it to be so cheap?

Now the efficiency of the oil is not high, the cost is very expensive, the finished tea oil and vegetable oil cost 80 yuan a liter, resulting in many people can not eat oil. Oil became a luxury for the poor.

"If that's the case, then I'll order a hundred liters!" As soon as someone opened his mouth, it was a hundred liters.

"I want two hundred liters!"

At this time, the oil was already hot, Xu Xiang took an iron spoon and stirred it in the pot, and scooped up a large spoonful of oil from time to time, and everyone looked at the golden oil as if they had seen gold.

Xu Xiang shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I don't have much oil for now, I can supply fifty liters to each family every month, so that I can meet your needs, and I won't have no oil to use!" Haha......"

Fifty liters is not bad, everyone nodded, agreeing with Xu Xiang's words.

I saw that the next person came over with a few plates of cut fresh chicken thighs, chicken steaks and other things, and put them on the table.

"This is a freshly killed chicken, but I've been marinating it for a few hours, and if you want the chicken to taste, this must be marinated, otherwise the fried chicken will have no taste!" Xu Xiang walked over, picked up a chicken leg, and shook it in front of everyone.

This chicken leg is sauce-colored and has been marinated, Xu Xiang pointed to the flour on the side and said, "Wrap it with a layer of flour first, and then wrap it with a layer of egg liquid!" ”

After Xu Xiang was coated with flour and eggs, he pointed to another pot of crushed breadcrumbs and said: "This thing is called breadcrumbs, that is, the crispy crust on the outside of the fried chicken, which is the key to the success of the fried chicken!" ”

"Now after wrapping the breadcrumbs, you can fry them directly in the oil pan!" Xu Xiang said while operating.

"I didn't expect this process to be so complicated, I thought it would be enough to fry it directly in oil!" Someone couldn't help but say in admiration.

Then the subordinates concocted the same method, fried a lot, and after considering the oil, all the fried chickens were put on the table.

"You can try it and see if it tastes like fried chicken!"

Everyone couldn't wait to take it and eat it in their mouths, and frequently let out a sound of admiration.

"Young Master Xu, we have this egg liquid, flour and pickled sauce, but the breadcrumbs you are talking about, are they the same as this oil, and we want to buy them from you?" Someone analyzed the steps of the whole fried chicken and asked.

"That's right!" Xu Xiang nodded, "A bag of breadcrumbs is a tael of silver, no two prices, how much you want!" ”

Subsequently, Xu Xiang pushed the barbecue out again, the barbecue was very simple, but the things they grilled had a strong smoky smell, so the taste was not good at all.

Xu Xiang pushed out the smokeless charcoal like lard, which caused another shock, and rushed to buy it.
