Chapter 605: Smoked Chicken (Part I)
Yang Huairen actually figured it out, it doesn't matter who the old monk is, the important thing is that he solved his doubts for himself and silently became a life coach.
Yang Huairen naturally won't care about stealing vegetables, not only that, but since Master Wuneng has come to Zhuangzi, it is always right to invite him to a meal to entertain him.
"Master, at noon, the kid will cook a few small dishes to entertain the master, and I hope the master will appreciate it."
"Hehe," the old monk said with a smile, "I am really flattered to let the 'Young Kitchen God' cook a meal for my little monk." ”
said so, but there was no trace of flattery on his face, and he accepted it very calmly.
As for the little monk or the little monk's statement, Yang Huairen couldn't help but want to laugh every time he heard the word "small" come out of the old monk's mouth.
The old monk used this small character, which is really similar to the small character used by Tianba's younger brother. Every time they emphasize the smaller, the more they make their image feel bigger in the eyes of people.
Yang Huairen measured the waist circumference of the old monk with his eyes, that big belly is really worthy of his Dharma name, his master drove him down the mountain, maybe there is such a meaning, he, the messenger of the pure altar, stayed in the temple, and it was easy to eat the temple poor.
People really can't look good, even if the person in front of them is obviously an old monk.
Because the old monk did not move the nest next, but pointed to the chickens that were free-range on the mountain behind Zhuangzi outside the fence of the vegetable furrow.
"Since Xiao Shi mainly cooks and invites the little monk to eat, it is not good for the little monk to be a person who is just waiting for an idle meal, so it is better for the little monk to also move and make a dish for the little donor, so that the little donor can taste and evaluate."
I'll go, this style of painting is not right, Yang Huairen said in his heart, the old monk said this, it doesn't seem to be a joke.
Just now he complimented that Yang Huairen is the god of cooking, why did the second sentence become that he wanted to show his hand to the god of cooking? This is here to smash the field and kick the gym?
But Yang Huairen is not afraid, when it comes to other things, Yang Huairen knows that he is not the opponent of the old monk, but when it comes to cooking, since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he has really not been scared of anyone.
He is not afraid of a serious cook, let alone an old monk?
"Do you want to try the food?"
Yang Huairen tentatively found that vegetarian dishes are not good at him, but there are not many problems, even if it is radish tofu cabbage, he can still make flowers, the kind that is delicious.
Although the direction of his fingers was obviously some chickens pecking all over the ground, Yang Huairen still had to make sure that he was going to make a meat dish, not a vegetarian dish.
The old monk shook his head and pointed to the outside of the fence with his hand, "Be a chicken." ”
These two words came out of the mouth of the old monk who had always spoken incomprehensibly, making Yang Huairen not embarrassed, with a black line on his face.
The old monk mistakenly thought that Yang Huairen thought that he was a monk who ate meat, and he had to kill, as if he was a little sorry for his appearance.
He explained, "The little monk is not killing a living being, but it is a good thing to surpass it and let it reach bliss early." ”
This context is getting more and more strange, and if Yang Huairen listens to it again, he may really want to squirt out a mouthful of tomato juice.
He wiped the juice of the tomatoes from the corner of his mouth and asked, "I wonder what the master is going to cook?" ”
"Smoked chicken."
The old monk spoke very plainly, but his expression was full of confidence. Yang Huairen felt a pang in his heart, this dish is not something that ordinary people can make, and without a real diamond diamond, he really can't do this porcelain work.
The smoked chicken in the mouth of the old monk is not the kind of smoked chicken that was served in various Western-style restaurants or fast food restaurants in later generations.
That kind of fast-food smoked chicken also tastes good, but in the eyes of professionals, it is not superior.
In terms of production methods, that kind of smoked chicken is also relatively simple and convenient, ready-made smoked ovens, ready-made smoked spices, and even ready-made chicken breasts, there are not many things that people need to do, and there is not much technical content.
Even if people don't have professional smoking and baking kitchenware equipment at home, they can actually make that kind of taste at home with ordinary iron pots, because smoked and baked ingredients are sold in supermarkets.
The smoked chicken in Chinese food is a great test of a chef's cooking skills, and in principle it is similar to Western-style smoked chicken, but the method is not as exquisite as that of Chinese style.
Restaurants and restaurants in the city generally do not have this dish for customers to order, not because the chefs can't do it, but because of the complicated process, in the city where fast food culture is popular, such traditional Chinese dishes gradually disappear from people's vision because of the lack of profits.
On the contrary, in some farmhouses or small restaurants in the mountains, smoked chicken, as a dish with rural characteristics, has been rejuvenated.
Another mystery of this dish lies in the cooking technique of smoking, which is vividly displayed in the flavor of the whole dish.
Again, they need fire, but instead of heating the dishes to ripen, they use the heat attached to the smoke from burning wood to ripen the chicken.
At the same time, the chicken and the spices used in smoking are not in contact at all, but are heated by dry roasting, and the essence of the flavor of the spices is smoked into the chicken through smoke.
The old monk said that he was going to make this dish, which changed Yang Huairen's view of him from another aspect, and this change was subversive, completely beyond the category of people who cannot be seen.
A monk who recites sutras and recites Buddha, and from time to time always likes to type a few words of Zen words, not only eats meat, but also cooks an extremely rare meat dish, which is a bit of a serious violation of ordinary people's perception of a monk.
Especially in front of Yang Huairen, saying it so lightly always makes people feel a little provocative.
Probably saying this is full of hostility, in Yang Huairen's mind, maybe the old monk is just using this way to remind him of the truth that a mountain is still a mountain high.
It is also possible that the old monk deliberately said such an unusual dish, which was a test to test whether Yang Huairen, a new young chef, was worthy of his name.
The old monk deliberately used the method of agitation, not words, to simply say the name of a dish, which was enough to make a person like Yang Huairen, who was extremely conceited about his cooking skills, willing to use the same dish to compare with the old monk.
Yang Huairen is not stupid, but even if he figured this out, he still couldn't hold back the pride of being a cook in his heart.
"In that case, why don't you make a smoked chicken for the master, let's learn from each other."
The old monk seemed to have calculated what Yang Huairen said, and said with a smile, "Very good, very good......
