Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Li Qi's method is more peculiar, and it is not simple on Yan Sheng's side, I saw that after he processed the wool Qianjing, he dug out the internal organs by breaking his abdomen, and then tied the sheep to the iron frame that had been prepared long ago with iron wire.
This bundle of sheep seems quite simple, but Li Qi knows that every step is very particular, such as where to put the sheep's head, how to put the limbs, how to tie the wire, there are many tricks involved.
It's not difficult to make a dish, as long as it's cooked, but to make a delicious dish, it's never simpler, and sometimes a small mistake can lead to the destruction of the entire dish.
Li Qi's delicacy is the famous Mongolian roasted whole sheep, which is definitely among the best in the dish made of mutton. Richie used to travel all over the world in search of new dishes, all under the influence of his father. He also picked out some ancient villages and saw how the best dishes were cooked in ancient ways, which also gave him a lot of inspiration, so his success was not all due to his own efforts.
However, Inner Mongolia is such a distinctive place, how could he let it go, he once walked in Inner Mongolia for more than a month, specially went to those people's homes to eat, of course, said that it was rubbing, but in fact, he also had to give money. This roast whole lamb was learned at that time, and since he launched this roast whole lamb in his father-in-law's hotel, many big bosses have designated this dish for their wine banquets, which has also brought a lot of benefits to their hotel.
And the roasted whole sheep made by Wan Yansheng should be the oldest roasted whole sheep, or the predecessor of roasted whole sheep.
Li Qi looked at it for a while, knowing that he had met a master, and he was quite excited, in fact, fighting kitchen and fighting martial arts are almost the same, and masters always cherish masters. He didn't dare to hold it up, and quickly turned his attention to his side again. He first cut a thousand small cuts with a knife in the abdomen of the sheep and in the thick flesh of the hind legs. Then I started to make the seasoning, these two things could have been done at the same time, but unfortunately I suffered from the two around me, both of whom were pure foodies, and I didn't know how to cook, so I had to do it myself.
Li Qi came to the long table, made a large bowl of seasoning with green onions, ginger slices, salt, peppercorns, good old sauce, a little sugar, minced cumin, salt, and oil, and divided a bowl and handed it to Ma Qiao and Yue Fei, so that they could use the seasoning to rub the mouths on the sheep's body to taste.
When they were done, Richie went and tested the temperature above the mouth of the stove with his hands, nodded, and put the rest of the seasoning into the belly of the sheep, and then he pinned the tail into the belly with an iron skewer, and hung it upside down with an iron chain, with his back down and his limbs up, and then brushed the sheep with a layer of specially prepared sesame oil.
The first stage is finally complete, and the next step is to roast.
Li Qi came to the oven again and tested the temperature with his hands, waited for a while, and suddenly ordered: "Ma Qiao, you take out the firewood." ”
"Oh-o-ah?"
Ma Qiao nodded subconsciously at first, then he was stunned again, and said in astonishment: "Deputy Marshal, you won't be nervous, you haven't put this sheep in, why do you have to withdraw the firewood." ”
Li Qi said angrily: "Am I nervous when I think like this?" Since Lao Tzu came out of the teacher, he has not been nervous when he tried his cooking skills, and he wants to ask you to withdraw, where is there so much nonsense, maybe you also want to learn to cook? ”
"I don't want to."
Ma Qiao replied with a thousand crisps, squatted down, and quickly withdrew the firewood from under the oven.
As soon as the firewood was withdrawn, Richie hung the sheep upside down and put it into the oven, which fortunately had an iron lid on the chain, and the mouth of the oven was designed according to the size of the iron cover, and the lid was tightly covered and sealed with earth.
"That's it."
Li Qi clapped his hands and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Ma Qiao was curious: "Deputy marshal, is this okay?" "But I thought to myself, there is not even a piece of firewood in it, can you bake it?
Li Qi naturally knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Of course it's not good, this is just the second stage, I'm using the temperature of the inner wall of the oven to bake, but this baking method can't be completely baked, so I have to bake it again later." ”
Ma Qiao was puzzled: "Then why don't you just roast it with firewood." Saying that, he suddenly pointed his hand to Yan Sheng's side, and said, "Don't you just use fire directly when you enter the house, and it's simple." ”
Li Qi turned his head to look, only to see Yan Sheng standing on the edge of a large grill, constantly turning the handle, and the fat sheep gradually turned golden red in the sky above the flames. Laughing: "Do you think that's easy?" ”
"At least it's easier than you."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "What do you know, the difficulty of our two baking methods is not much different, the only difference is." At this point, he suddenly stopped.
Ma Qiao and Yue Feitong asked, "What is it?" ”
The corners of Li Qi's mouth raised, and he said, "My sheep are better than his." ”
Ma Qiao and Yue Fei looked at each other.
Li Qi smiled again: "You won't understand it, but after you taste it, you will understand." ”
Ma Qiao sighed and said happily: "In this way, Brother Yue and I also have a chance to taste this mutton?" ”
"Uh, no."
After waiting for a long time, Li Qi finally opened the door of the stove, but saw him scoop up a large spoonful of firewood with a long spoon and roast the sheep's body.
Yue Fei's dignified old man, seeing that Li Qi's baking method was also gentle, he was anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Bu Shuai, why don't you just roast it with fire." ”
Li Qi sighed and said: "With this kind of slow fire, the flavor of the condiments in the belly of the mutton can gradually penetrate into the mutton, and at the same time, there is a way to make the mutton cooked thoroughly and will not be burned. ”
Ma Qiao and Yue Fei listened to it with a half-understanding
About an hour passed.
There was a burst of fragrance in the field, which made them hungry.
"It's baked."
Wan Yan Sheng wiped a handful of sweat, took the lead in speaking, and glanced at Li Qi again, his face full of curiosity.
His two assistants carefully removed the sheep from the grill, and saw that the sheep had turned golden red and shiny, and it was salivating just by looking at it, but it was a lot of work to take it off the grill.
Niiri first put the mutton on a wooden plate, and then placed the wooden plate on a low table and presented it to the public.
Wanyan Agu said haha: "Fourth brother, it's really hard for you." ”
Wan Yansheng shook his head and said: "What's so hard about this, it's just that the imperial brother is in poor health now, if there is an imperial brother chatting with me, not only will it not be hard, but it will have a different taste." ”
Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "Fourth uncle, why don't you say it earlier, otherwise I will go over to accompany you." ”
Wan Yansheng half-jokingly said: "You come here to ruin my business." ”
The ministers of the Jin Kingdom burst out laughing.
Wanyan Agu laughed for a while, glanced at Li Qi's side, and said, "It seems that this Golden Knife Chef King has not yet been cooked, so let's taste my fourth brother's roast lamb first." ”
A few servants came up immediately, and in an instant, they divided the roast sheep of Wan Yan Sheng.
After the roast mutton was served, the crowd immediately began to eat it.
I saw that the ministers and generals of the Jin Kingdom were all eating the meat directly with their hands, eating with their mouths full of oil, and they praised the meat for being delicious, while the Song Dynasty swallowed it slowly.
Zhao Kai, as a prince, has never tasted the dishes made by his uncle, tearing off a small piece and putting it in his mouth, chewing carefully, only to feel that the sheepskin is crispy, and the mutton is tender and fragrant, especially this rich and pure meat aroma makes his eyes shine, and secretly said, this meat is really delicious, the meat is fragrant and pure, as if it does not contain any miscellaneous taste, it is the first time in my life to eat such a delicious barbecue, even the barbecue made by Li Qi may not be as delicious.
Zhao Liangsi on the side glanced at Zhao Kai and said, "Your Highness, this meat is delicious, right?" ”
Zhao Kai nodded incredulously, he really didn't expect a prince to be able to bake such a delicacy. said: "Has Doctor Zhao tasted this fierce craft before?" ”
Zhao Liangsi nodded and smiled: "I have only been fortunate to eat it once or twice, this roast mutton is very famous in the entire Jurchen tribe, I once heard that as long as he spends the night in the barracks, then every time it is dinnertime, those soldiers will come and run out of the tent." ”
Zhao Kai sighed and said, "Why is this?" ”
Zhao Liangsi hahaha: "That's because they want to smell this fragrance, it is said that those soldiers smell this fragrance, and they have a better appetite when they eat at night." ”
Zhao Kai smiled bitterly and said, "There are such things." As he spoke, he looked at Li Qi again, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
Wanyan quickly solved the piece of meat, touched the little beard a few times, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, you really can't get tired of eating this roast mutton." ”
Wan Yansheng said with a smile: "The imperial brother has won the award, and the imperial brother has a good appetite, which is my golden blessing." ”
Wanyan Zongbi grinned and said, "Fourth uncle, my father has eaten it a hundred times, and I am only the twenty-eighth time I have eaten your roasted mutton, and there are still seventy-two times left." ”
Wan Yan Sheng's eyes puffed up and said, "You are talking nonsense." ”
The crowd laughed again.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice from the field, "Okay." ”
Only then did Zhong Jin wake up from Yan Sheng's food, remembering that there was still a sheep over there, and they were looking forward to it, they also wanted to see the strength of this golden knife chef.
After a while, I saw Ma Qiao and Yue Fei carrying a low table, and saw a golden fat sheep lying on a wooden plate on the table.
The golden light is shining, the color is uniform, the fragrance is diffuse, and the temptation is extreme.
Although Zhong Jin had already eaten a delicious roast mutton, where was that little enough, looking at the sheep in the middle, he swallowed vigorously.
Li Qi stepped forward and saluted the Wanyan Aguda brothers.
Wanyan Agu hahaha: "It is worthy of being the king of the golden knife kitchen, even this sheep is golden, haha, quickly present it." ”
Is the two related? Li Qiyi raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty has won the prize." But before eating this mutton, there is another delicacy that I want to taste for your majesty. ”
"What's delicious?"
Wanyan Aguda couldn't help but take a closer look, and found that it was a roast sheep, and nothing else.
Wan Yansheng also looked at Li Qi in confusion.
Li Qi smiled slightly, Yue and Ma Erjin lifted the sheep, Li Qi first put a large bowl under the sheep's abdomen, and then took a knife to expand the sheep's abdomen, only to hear a loud sound, a milky white soup from the sheep's abdomen tilted into the bowl.
Everyone was surprised.
Wan Yan Sheng nodded slightly, and said secretly, it turns out that there is something else-so fragrant, is this the fragrance of the soup.
It turned out that as soon as the soup was poured out, a very special and familiar fragrance suddenly spread.
The crowd is intoxicated.
Li Qi then cut the sheep into thousands of servings, and divided the bowl of soup into thousands of small bowls, added water and water to prepare, and served it together with the mutton, but because this soup is limited, only Wanyan's entry is qualified to taste it, and the Song Dynasty also has Zhao Liangsi and Zhao Kai.
Wanyan Aguda is the first time to see this kind of mutton soup, I can't wait to take a sip, only to feel that this soup is not fishy, the taste is extremely delicious, what is more commendable is that this soup seems to absorb the essence of every part of the sheep's body, so that the aftertaste is endless, I can't help but sigh: "This soup is really delicious, I am the first time to taste the delicious mutton soup today." ”
Wan Yan Sheng also tasted the soup, sighed lightly, just with this delicious dish, he had already lost, took another bite of the mutton, stayed for a moment, and blurted out: "I lost." ”
