Chapter Forty-Eight: Tangerine Peel Duck
Huang Erxian saw that Yin Xiaoyue was back, and happily invited her to her office.
This is the second floor of the hot pot restaurant, by the window.
Downstairs cars come and go.
Where the old and new towns are connected, the scenery is not very good, but it is also lively.
As soon as Yin Xiaoyue sat down, she said to Huang Erxian:
"You try to put some Xinhui tangerine peel, the kind that takes more than ten years, it should be useful to get rid of the bitterness of white bark and cloves! Moreover, the hot pot ingredients are originally spicy, and when tangerine peel is added, the taste will be more mellow. ”
Hearing this, Huang Erxian's eyes lit up.
Tangerine peel?
Tangerine peel is also a kind of spice, but it is only used in hot pot, but it is rare.
This product is produced on the east coast and is made from fresh, local specialty thick-skinned mandarins, which are removed and dried for 10 years until the color turns black.
This thing, which the locals use to make tangerine peel duck, tastes the best.
Braised duck with a piece of tangerine peel on top.
Then put it in the steamer and steam for three hours.
When I opened the steamer again, I was greeted by the fresh and sweet taste of tangerine peel.
The whole tangerine peel disappeared completely, and it completely penetrated into the duck meat, making the original brown-red color of the duck's skin look like it was coated with a layer of ink.
The duck fat seeps out from the inside, making the whole duck shiny and shiny.
Take a bite gently, in addition to the fragrant marinated fragrance, it is full of tangerine peel fragrance. The cheeks began to salivate at the same time, a small piece of tangerine peel, and completely changed the taste of ordinary braised duck meat.
The tangerine peel is mixed with the aroma of marinade, which is the icing on the cake.
The locals use tangerine peel to make a delicacy called tangerine peel rabbit.
Cut the killed and peeled rabbit into diced meat, add tangerine peel and soy sauce to marinate for half an hour, and then fry it with rapeseed oil and dried chili peppercorns.
The spicy chicken was shortlisted after eating dry and spicy, but the tangerine peel rabbit listened more warmly.
To put it bluntly, tangerine peel is actually in the local area, and it is not used much. Many people drink it directly in water, or drink all the more aged Pu'er tea.
Pu-erh tea blends with tangerine peel to create a natural aroma.
Take a sip and you'll never be thirsty all day.
Of course, tea tasting is a metaphysical thing, and some people say so, and everyone thinks so.
Then, in Yin Weimin's old brine, Xinhui tangerine peel was added.
When the braised meat shop couldn't be opened, Yin Weimin rushed to the public phone booth overnight to make a call.
After that, he made a special trip to the eastern coast and bought some Xinhui tangerine peel.
This new will tangerine peel, and the price is not cheap.
Yin Weimin only bought half a catty, and spent nearly 10,000 yuan.
However, since there is this tangerine peel, even if more garlic is added to the braised broth, the taste is not a little bitter, and Yin Weimin hid the tangerine peel very high.
This secret is only known to him, Li Aizhen, and Yin Xiaoyue, who was later in charge of the hotel.
Originally, it was not passed on, but Yin Xiaoyue still told Huang Erhuan about it.
In fact, Yin Xiaoyue has never felt that the secret recipe is something that cannot be exclusive to one family.
The reason why food can be passed down in China for thousands of years is that it can be passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.
What's more, the significance of this hot pot restaurant to Huang Erxian is definitely not as simple as a tool to make money.
That's all she has.
Hearing about Xinhui Chen Pi, Huang Erhuan hurriedly took out a bag of things from the cabinet.
After walking to Yin Xiaoyue's side and opening it, Yin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
That's really a pack of tangerine peel.
Although this tangerine peel is as thin as a piece of paper, it is solid and strong, the color is black all over, and there is a layer of oil on the outer skin.
"I've almost forgotten about this thing, do you see this line, this is the last time I asked someone to buy it, it is said to be a good product that has been dried for 30 years."
When Yin Xiaoyue heard this, she sighed a few times: "This look is a good thing, and the ten years I bought it with my dad are not a good thing, my dad's half a catty cost 10,000 yuan, you have to ...... it."
Huang Erxian winked at him: "That's it, it's almost 100,000." ”
Hearing this, Yin Xiaoyue gasped in her heart, and couldn't help but feel once again that it was good to be rich.
The good goods of 100,000 yuan are just casually put in the office, and Yin Weimin's 10,000 yuan things are hidden so high, for fear that someone will steal them.
"Before, I had an uncomfortable throat, and Chinese medicine said that using this thing to soak in water with some rock sugar can treat my throat. I asked someone to buy some, but someone told me that if I drank too much rock sugar water, I was prone to diabetes at my age, and diabetes was a chronic cancer, so I didn't dare. Now that you say that, just give it a try, and if you can use it, it can also be useful. ”
With that, she called the kitchen manager.
After handing the other person a piece of tangerine peel:
"Today, the employees eat hot pot, let everyone drink a bowl of sweet white fungus soup first, and then eat hot pot, in the base, you put a piece of this in it, don't tell them, after eating, ask them how it tastes."
The employee nodded and went out.
Huang Erxian's face at the moment was obviously much better than before.
She made Yin Xiaoyue a cup of Pu'er tea, and added a small piece of tangerine peel to it: "This Pu'er tea is also an old product, with tangerine peel, it is a fine product, can you taste it?" ”
After Yin Xiaoyue thanked her, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.
But seeing that Huang Erxian kept staring at herself, she thought that there was something on her face, and took a look at her mobile phone, but found that there was no problem.
So she asked Huang Erxian:
"You, do you have any questions?"
Huang Erxian shook her head, and after a pause, she said thoughtfully:
"You are from Luochuan County, your name is Yin Xiaoyue?"
Faced with her question, Yin Xiaoyue felt inexplicable, what is there to ask, isn't it clearly written in the video broadcast of the Chef God Competition, who can she be if she is not Yin Xiaoyue from Luochuan County?
And Huang Erxian continued to ask:
"Your restaurant was taken over from your father, so your father is also a cook?"
"That's right."
Hearing Yin Xiaoyue's confirmation, Huang Erxian's eyes flashed, she looked at Yin Xiaoyue even harder, and began to mumble in her mouth: "The truth, it's really a blood relative, isn't this carved out of a mold?" ”
Seeing her staring at herself, Yin Xiaoyue felt a little hairy on her back: "Huang Erxian, what are you talking about?" ”
Huang Erxian also took a sip of tea.
She seemed to have finally decided something, brushed the hair on her forehead, and said calmly: "Your father, is your name Yin Weimin?" ”
