Chapter 133: The Three Major Schools of Roast Duck and the Whole Duck Feast
All the women are full of little stars, with a look of admiration, Ma Wenying and Ma Wenting are even more Zhu Shou's brothers, this General Zhu is powerful, visiting the imperial city, drinking imperial wine, and rowing in the Taiye Pool. It's really reverent.
Zhu Shou is also full of red light, he has grown so big, it is the first time to call friends and indulge in parties, Li Jing's fox friends and dog friends make him feel extremely happy, he has lived in vain for so many years before, and he feels that his life has reached a climax.
"How do you eat your roast duck from the shopkeeper," Li Jing suddenly remembered that the roast duck in later generations was not necessarily the same as the way to eat it in Daming. I couldn't help but ask.
"The small shop will cut the tested duck and put it on a plate according to different parts, and at the same time serve it with eight bowls, eight dishes and one soup of Lu cuisine." The old shopkeeper said proudly, as if he was proud of his duck and authentic Lu cuisine.
"Old shopkeeper, can we change the way we eat?" asked Li Jing.
"As long as the guests put forward, the small shop must meet the needs of the guests, what requirements and new tricks, the store can cooperate" the old shopkeeper hurriedly said, he also saw that these people are either rich or expensive, must be careful to serve well.
"There are three ways to roast duck, one is to roast duck in the oven, the second is to roast duck in the oven, and the third is to barbecue duck with forks. Each of these three approaches has its own merits," Li Jing said slowly.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, especially the old shopkeeper and the master behind him, and their mouths opened wide in surprise. Apparently they didn't know that this roast duck had a lot of recipes.
"The oven method. The oven has a door, the furnace wall and the iron grate in the furnace are heated with straw, and when there is no open flame, the processed duck is placed on the iron grate, and the furnace door is closed, so it is called the simmering furnace. Hanging furnace method. The mouth of the furnace is arched, there is no door, the processed duck is hung on the iron structure in the furnace, and the bottom is roasted with fruit wood (pear, jujube wood is the best) fire, and the door is not closed. Char siu method. Similar to barbecued pork, it must be handled by hand one by one, which is low in yield and time-consuming, but it is easy to master the heat of each different duck to achieve the best effect and taste. The roasted duck needs to be sliced and served. The slicing technology is relatively high, each duck needs about 120 slices, and the slices must be sliced with belt meat, fat and thin. The condiments are green onions, cucumber strips, and the seasoning has white sugar, which is the way to eat in the court, garlic paste and sweet noodle sauce. The staple food is lotus leaf cake or hollow baked cake.
"Brother is really knowledgeable, I know this, I have eaten roast duck in the palace is this char siu method, but I don't know what the name is." Zhu Shou was impressed.
"After the roast duck is cooked, the duck is fatter and will be very greasy if you eat it directly. Before the duck breast collapses, the skin and meat should be sliced and served on a plate in time. At this time, the duck meat is crispy and delicious in the mouth. The method of slicing duck is also exquisite, one is to eat the duck skin while it is hot, crispy and fragrant; Then eat a slice of duck meat. The second is that the slices have belt meat, which are thin but not broken. An 8-pound duck can slice 108 pieces of duck meat, and the size is uniform, the shape is like a clove leaf, and the taste is crispy and tender, with a unique flavor. ”
The old shopkeeper and the others are quite stupid. It is said that Confucius said that he never gets tired of eating, and he never gets tired of stewing. It seems that the real food in this world is still these big families and scholars.
"There are three main ways to eat Peking duck, with different ingredients. The first way: use chopsticks to pick a little sweet noodle sauce, spread it on the lotus leaf cake, clip 5 slices of roast duck and cover it, put a few green onion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, and roll up the lotus leaf cake, which is the most common way to eat. ”
"The second type: garlic paste with soy sauce, can also be served with radish strips, etc. Garlic paste can relieve greasy, the sliced roast duck dipped in garlic paste, soy sauce to eat, in the fresh fragrance, but also add a touch of spicy, the flavor is more unique. ”
"The third type: some customers don't like to eat onions and garlic, but they like to eat crispy and crispy duck skin dipped in fine sugar. This way of eating is especially suitable for women and children.
"The first condiment method is the most suitable for most people's tastes, and the sweet noodle sauce used in it is made from Beijing's "Liubiju", otherwise the taste cannot be regarded as authentic. ”
Liubiju Sauce Garden Store is located in Beijing, which is said to have been created in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. The golden plaque hanging in the Liubiju store is said to be inscribed by Yan Song, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. Liubiju was originally a small shop opened by Zhao Cunren, Zhao Cunyi and Zhao Cunli brothers from Xidu Village, Linfen, Shanxi, specializing in firewood, rice, oil and salt. As the saying goes: "There are seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea." "These seven things are essential for people's daily lives. The small shop of the Zhao brothers, because it does not sell tea, was named Liubiju.
"Zhengyi, if you want me to say these three ways of baking, three ways of eating, and two ways of slicing, children will make a choice, and we will naturally want them all." Ma Xianglin said unashamedly.
"Oh, my lord, the little old man will only make one kind in this store, if you really want to eat, please, please ......" The old shopkeeper swallowed, while peeking at Li Jing. Others are old and sophisticated, and they know that if these three methods are dispersed, there will be two more competitors immediately, and if the store can learn all three, the store will definitely be famous. However, in this era, the law is not passed on lightly, and generally this belongs to the craft of eating, and the secret recipe that can be passed down from generation to generation in the family will not be passed on.
Everyone at the table could see what the old thief was up to. They all looked at Li Jing, Li Jing smiled slightly, and said: "It's not impossible for the old shopkeeper to want me to do this, but according to the rules, the law cannot be passed on lightly,"
"Oh, my lord, if there are any conditions, you can always mention it, as long as the shop can agree, you will definitely agree," the old shopkeeper hurriedly said.
"Not only will I give you the recipes I just mentioned, but I will also give you the recipe for the whole duck meal. The whole duck banquet is a banquet composed of all kinds of duck dishes cooked with Beijing stuffed duck as the main ingredient, and there are more than 100 kinds of hot and cold duck dishes to choose from. I will also give you the feeding method of cramming. In addition to the traditional fried gizzard liver, duck shredded boiled vegetables, duck fat egg custard, cold dishes also include mustard duck paws, brine duck gizzards, salted duck liver, etc. A duck can be "four eats", after eating duck meat, you can slice the duck fat flowing on the plate when roasting duck, make duck fat custard, the third eat is the fatter part of the roast duck slices, cut into shreds under the slices, and return to the oven to cook the duck shreds; The fourth food is to boil the duck rack left after the sliced duck, add winter melon or cabbage to boil into bad bone duck soup, this soup is delicious and delicious, and the nutrition is extremely high. The whole duck feast is made up of Beijing stuffed duck as the main ingredient and various duck dishes. The characteristics are: above a table, in addition to the roast duck, there are different dishes cooked with the duck's tongue, brain, heart, liver, gizzard, pancreas, intestines, preserved meat, wings, palms, etc., so it is called the whole duck seat. After Li Jing finished speaking, everyone was dazzled and drooled. The old shopkeeper and the cooks all knelt down, saying that black eyes can't see silver, and people who cook restaurants can't see the secret recipe of food. It's too uncomfortable to see the taste that you can't eat. Non-stop hand over requests.
"I don't have any other requirements, your shop is too small, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must start from raising ducks until banquets and takeaways, as well as salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs. In the five urban districts, branches should be opened in the four urban districts of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and a head office should be opened on the front street. You clear the assets and verify the capital to see how much share capital, I take out the same silver into the shares, I do not participate in the operation and management, these are according to the existing one, or your old shopkeeper is responsible, but the finance must be supervised by someone. I don't want dividends from shares, I don't need this money, set up a charitable foundation, use this money to open a pharmacy, hire ten people in each department, and give free medical treatment to poor people in the capital, and only charge the cost price of medicinal materials, if it is really difficult, it can be administered free of charge after investigation and verification. The other is to open a private school, free school, as long as you are willing to come to read and write, regardless of background, education.
"Brother is a great good, count me as one, and I will give as much as my brother will give." Zhu Shou said.
"Count me in as a couple," Ma Xianglin said with a big grin.
"Whoever is married to you, shameless." Zhang Fengyi used her slender jade fingers to twist Ma Xianglin's waist fiercely. It hurt so much that Ma Xianglin grinned.
"Brother Li Jing, count me as one," "And me, I also have a share" Ma Wenting and Ma Wenying said.
