121. Secret braised chicken

Since the Xie family had a carriage and a mule cart, Xie Xuan didn't have to get up in the dark every time he went to the county seat.

After breakfast that day, Xie Zhiyuan and Xie Zhicheng were sent to school, Xie Pingtian guarded the ground house on the Zhuangzi, Lin was weaving at home, Xie Qingshan Xie Wang took Xie Xuan and Xie Ping'an to Linzhang County to purchase the things needed for the next hire.

The cold wind blows on the face like a knife, and the village not far away occasionally sees green smoke curling.

When he met an acquaintance on the road, Xie Qingshan shouted and took him for a ride.

There were two large baskets of freshly cut young leeks and bean sprouts in the car, and there were two braised chickens that had been killed and marinated last night.

Xie Xuan shrunk her neck and leaned into Xie Wang's arms, listening to Xie Wang's and Xie Qingshan discuss what they wanted to buy.

"Tea cakes and fruits, chicken, goose and sheep wine are not missing, first go to the tea shop to buy two boxes of good tea, and then go to the dim sum shop to buy two loads of wedding cakes. We have chickens at home, and then buy two ducks from our neighbors, and then go to the butcher shop to buy two lamb legs, two jars of wine......" Xie Wang counted with his fingers, "Our family drinks turbid wine, this time we will buy that Jinhua wine, and last time I invited Soap Li to eat in Taihe Building, not Jinhua wine?" That's it! ”

"Okay! Jinhua wine is a good wine, five dollars and silver for a jar, where do we usually drink it......" Xie Qingshan smacked his lips, remembering the time when he ate in Taihe Building, "People in the city, invite guests to eat, Jinhua wine is the best." ”

"After this trip, a few taels of silver will be thrown out again! If you marry an ordinary-looking girl, you won't spend much! Xie Wang sighed and glanced at Xie Ping'an.

Xie Ping'an just smirked and didn't answer.

"Let's go to Brother Han's tooth shop first, and ask him to inquire about the shop......," Xie Qingshan said, "This is an important matter!" ”

Gossiping, the carriage entered the county gate.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the lively scene comes into view, the wine flag is swaying, the tea curtain is fluttering, and the sound of shouting and selling is in your ears.

A path went straight to Han Zhengye's tooth shop, and when he entered the door, he saw Han Zhengye talking to two merchants.

Han Zhengye hurriedly came up with a smile to greet him, and Xie Qingshan asked Han Zhengye to be busy with business, and then he would talk after he was busy.

Xie Ping'an moved a basket of vegetables from the car, and Xie Wang carried the braised chicken.

When Han Zhengye sent two merchants, he saw Xie Qingshan and said with a smile: "Brother Xie and sister-in-law came over today, could it be that there is something big?" ”

Xie Qingshan said that he would come to buy a dowry for Xie Ping'an today, "When I got married, I also invited Brother Han to eat the wedding wine!" ”

When Han Zhengye heard this, he looked at Xie Ping'an with a smile on his face, "Ping'an is not too young, it's time to get married, and Uncle Han will give you a big red envelope when the time comes!" ”

After a few words of laughter, Xie Qingshan took the braised chicken wrapped in oil paper in Xie Wang's hand, handed it to Han Zhengye, and said with a smile: "Brother, how about you taste the braised chicken in my house?" If Brother Han thinks that it is still imported, we would like to ask Brother Han to find a good shop and sell brine goods! ”

When Han Zhengye heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I know that the Xie family probably doesn't just want to rely on winter vegetables for the rest of their lives!" Opening up financial resources is the way to make money, hahaha......"

As he spoke, he was not formal, took the oil paper bag, opened it directly and dragged a chicken leg, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and chewed it.

The Xie family all looked at Han Zhengye with hope to see what his evaluation was.

Han Zhengye is a person who has seen the world, if he says that the taste is good, then this shop can be opened.

Han Zhengye is not as impatient as those men who have never eaten a full meal, and he doesn't care much about putting it in his mouth. He is not a person who has never eaten good things, he has traveled from south to north, and he has eaten all the local delicacies, and he has also eaten a lot of foreign flavors, so he has high requirements for deliciousness.

But while chewing, Han Zhengye became serious, his mouth chewing moved more and more slowly, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he slowly swallowed the chicken in his mouth, and couldn't wait to take a second bite.

The braised chicken has been cold all the way through, and eating it in the mouth must not be comparable to just out of the pot, but Han Zhengye still quickly ate a chicken leg into his stomach.

"Brother Xie, why didn't you say it earlier if you have this skill?" Han Zhengye exclaimed in surprise, "If I knew, wouldn't I help you find a shop early and open this lo-mei shop?" ”

Xie Qingshan was overjoyed, and his wrinkles shook together: "Hearing my brother say this, the taste is still good?" ”

"Isn't it just that? I've traveled all over the world, and I've never eaten braised chicken that tastes so good! Han Zhengye clicked his lips and tasted back: "I don't know how you marinate, you can't eat any seasoning marinade, but it's fragrant, and the aftertaste is good, unlike some marinated cooked food, the aftertaste is greasy after eating, which makes people's hearts feel uncomfortable......"

"Grandpa Han, not counting green onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, star anise, there are more than a dozen flavors of spices and traditional Chinese medicine for marinade, if it's not delicious, you won't be able to earn back the money from just selling spices!" Xie Xuan said with a smile.

"Oh, my God, more than a dozen spices, no wonder it's this flavor, let me taste it again......" Han Zhengye took off another chicken neck and nodded while eating, "Just eating fragrant, I didn't eat the spices you said, unlike other people's made, there is a smell of seasoning before you eat it." ”

"That's because they didn't get a good seasoning ratio, a good seasoning ratio should not only stimulate the flavor of the meat itself, but also integrate with the flavor of the meat. If the seasoning ratio is not good, just like Grandpa Han said, otherwise it will be a seasoning smell, and the meat flavor will be suppressed, or the meat smell will be heavy, and the seasoning will not be able to suppress it......" Xie Xuan explained with a smile.

"Xuanxuan is a clever ghost, she knows so much at a young age, and she is well-behaved and sensible, how good it would be for me to have such a girl!" Han Zhengye said with a smile while eating: "Xuanxuan, what I said a while ago still counts, when you change your mind, my little son can keep it for you at any time......"

"Grandpa Han, you're making fun of me again!" Xie Xuan pretended to be shy and pouted and ignored him.

Xie Qingshan and the others all burst out laughing.

Seeing that Han Zhengye ate another chicken neck, he even gnawed the flesh on the cockscomb and the head of the chicken, leaving only a bare chicken brain, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa Han, if you like to eat, I'll bring you a few more when I go back." Thanks to your help, our family has saved so much trouble! ”

Han Zhengye listened and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" I didn't do you for nothing, I took your tap! Don't worry, I'll find this shop for you, and I'll definitely find a good place for you, and there will be a lot of people! Saying that, Han Zhengye still wrapped the remaining braised chicken, and said with a smile to the Xie family: "Take the rest home at noon and put it on the steamer to heat it up, so that my Hun family and children can also taste the secret braised chicken made by the more than a dozen flavors of seasonings marinated by the family!" ”
