Chapter 166: Sweet Burnt White
Prices of more than 20 years ago, although not as high as they are now.
But it is not easy to make two tables of meals for two hundred yuan, the ingredients used by Song Kun were very cheap at that time, and the ingredients that could be bought everywhere in the vegetable market did not even have shrimp and crabs.
But because of the blessing of craftsmanship, all these ordinary things have become unique.
There are fish, ducks, pork, and of course, chicken.
The price of local chicken at that time had to be sold for thirty yuan a catty, and Song Kun only had a budget of two hundred yuan, so it was definitely unrealistic to buy local chicken.
If it were someone else, he would definitely choose chicken breast for seven or eight yuan a pound.
This kind of chicken breast is made from caged chickens that are released after three months.
Caged chickens stay in a small cage from birth to slaughter, and they don't exercise much. Therefore, its growth rate is very fast, but because it does not exercise for a long time, the meat quality is also relatively woody.
Because this kind of chicken is not very old, it cannot be used for stewed soup, and even the braised chicken does not have any fragrance.
But because of the fatty meat, it is very good to use it for chicken wings, chicken feet, chicken thighs, and chicken breasts.
The best way to make chicken breast is to make kung pao chicken, which has a sour and sour sweet and sour taste, with peanuts and green onions, the chicken is tender and flavorful, and you can eat three bowls of white rice at a time.
There is also a method for this chicken breast, which is to make it torn into shredded meat and serve it cold.
Feel free to serve some side dishes, and when you eat it in one bite, the crispy carrot and kelp shreds are wrapped in shredded chicken, which is very good.
The cost of cold chicken breast and kung pao chicken is not high, and if you do this, a large plate with all the ingredients is only five yuan.
It's really cheap and good.
But Song Kun did not choose chicken breast, but bought a cheaper chicken skeleton.
The chicken skeleton of the chicken was removed, and a little bit of meat was still hanging on it, and after being coated with a layer of flour, it was fried in an oil pan until golden brown, and after the pot was removed, Song Kun divided them into palm-sized pieces.
Return to the pot again, add chili powder, cumin and various spices and stir-fry twice.
The feeling of gnawing on the chicken rack is very special, just like eating barbecue, especially the taste of finger sucking, the full of cumin aroma, the gods will not change.
The cost of this chicken rack is even cheaper.
Five cents a catty, there is not much meat hanging on it, choose at will, Song Kun bought ten catties and made two large plates, the oil is fragrant, and when it is placed on the table, it is very amazing.
This thing tastes really good, but the only regret is that you can't eat too much meat.
After all, the cost is there, and there is no way to compare it with the whole chicken.
But the owner of the teahouse said that if a whole chicken eats like this, then there is no such feeling, this thing, what you eat is a taste, and when you sip it, you feel that you have eaten a lot of things.
Not only is it suitable for drinking, but it is also suitable for eating as a snack.
The employee next to the boss gnawed several pieces of chicken racks in a row, and he couldn't stop at all.
He asked the boss: "This dish, is it Song Kun's big move, I think it's really good, I have to find someone to ask him how to make this thing, give it to those greedy children in my family, I sure they all love it!" ”
The boss took a sip of the liquor, the cumin spicy chicken rack, which goes well with the liquor.
In addition to drinking tea, the teahouse is also a good place to play mahjong, often a few friends in a group, will play mahjong in the private room for a night.
There is a barbecue stand under the tea house.
Most of the business comes from the customers of the teahouse, and these people who play cards will be very hungry at ten o'clock in the evening.
Then, they would ask the waiter in the tea house to go to the barbecue stall downstairs to buy something to eat.
After a long time, the barbecue stall made a lot of money.
The stall owner not only bought a house and a car, but also sent several children to the aristocratic school to attend classes, but he just didn't want to leave here to rent a shop to do business.
Everyone is very strange, only the teahouse owner knows best.
If he leaves the teahouse, his business will definitely plummet, after all, like the guests who can come to the teahouse to play mahjong, they don't care about the money for a few barbecues.
A table of guests, in those days, ate one or two hundred yuan, and would not even blink an eye.
The owner of the barbecue stall made a lot of money, and the owner of the tea house was envious.
He had developed his own barbecue and wanted to get some special late-night snacks to attract customers to his shop, but he tried
Many times, without success.
Someone suggested that he hire a cook.
But when the chefs heard about working in a teahouse, they were reluctant to come.
And at that time, the salary of a chef was also very high, so I kept thinking about it and didn't put it into action.
After the owner of the teahouse tasted the cumin chicken rack made by Song Kun, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, if this thing is pushed out, the cost of two or three yuan will be sold for twenty yuan a plate, then the people who come to the teahouse to play cards will not spend all the money on the barbecue?
While nibbling on the chicken rack, the boss thought about this plan.
Song Kun's other big dish was on the table again.
This dish looks relatively ordinary, a dish of licking and buttoning meat, in local terms, called roasted white.
The two slices of fatty meat are not cut off, sandwiched with red beans and red date paste, neatly placed on the glutinous rice, and the pumpkin cut into small pieces is surrounded by garnishes, and then steamed for half an hour.
When it comes out of the pot, the whole dish looks crystal clear.
The skin of the fatty meat turned golden brown, and every sticky rice shone.
Sprinkle a layer of white sugar, pick up a piece of fat wrapped in jujube paste, and eat it in one bite, it is actually sweet but not greasy. After steaming for more than half an hour, the fat of the fatty meat has completely sunk into the glutinous rice.
Jujube paste and red bean paste are not very sweet in the first place.
The soft taste is inlaid with white sugar.
The combination of granular white sugar and soft burnt white makes the food layered at once.
The two pieces of fat meat connected to the skin of the meat, sandwiched with bean paste and red date paste, melted away with a light sip, and the fat in the cooked fat has been completely destroyed, so it doesn't feel greasy at all.
Ten people at a table have exactly ten slices of such meat.
One piece per person, just one slice to eat.
After eating the spicy cumin chicken rack, a slice of such sweet meat completely neutralizes the spicy sensation just now.
The owner of the teahouse took another bite of the steamed pumpkin around it.
Mixed with sweet glutinous rice, the owner of the teahouse felt that his stomach was warm all of a sudden, the glutinous rice was crushed, the pumpkin was sweet, mixed together and steamed, and then with a little sugar, eating in the mouth, it was simply better than any dessert he had ever eaten.
At this time, a female employee on the opposite side suddenly said:
"These dishes are really too oily, and the taste is also heavy, so there are no light hot dishes?"
After listening to such muttering, everyone also said yes.
At this time, the following dish was served again.
When everyone saw this dish, they were stunned for a moment, because this is a steamed eggplant without water and oil......
