"That's right! It's roast chicken! ”

In later generations, there were many ways to cook chicken, and even many roast chickens even became designated local specialties, which were once sought after by people and became the first choice for famous food.

Shang Xia has reason to believe that if Lin Mu makes roast chickens to sell, the business will be better than selling local chickens, and she can make more money!

Of course, Lin Mu had heard of roast chicken, after all, it was a food that appeared a long time ago.

"I know about roast chicken, but I've only heard it from others, but I don't know how to do it?"

She now has a chicken in her hand, and she listened to Shang Xia's words, and her mind became active.

It is not a long-term solution to rely on selling chickens and pigs all the time, and the university that Ran Ran went to in Beijing was only relying on selling poultry to go to high school before, and it was definitely not enough to go to college.

She didn't want her son to be admitted to Huaqing with great difficulty, but instead of going to school, he went out to earn living expenses, which affected his studies.

Seeing that Mother Lin had ideas about this proposal, Shang Xia became even more energetic.

"I read miscellaneous books a few days ago and saw the practice of roasting chicken, and it doesn't seem to be difficult. Auntie, your cooking is so delicious, and the food you cook is almost the same, so it's definitely no problem.

In this way, let's buy the ingredients we need today and try them, and if we don't do it well, we can eat it ourselves, how about it? ”

Mother Lin immediately agreed when she heard this, these chickens can't be sold today, and they will only get thinner and thinner if they are raised, and they can't be sold at a better price.

If the method Shang Xia saw was useful, it would be a new way out for her, so that she wouldn't have to worry about the tuition fees!

"Xia Xia, don't mess around, if it doesn't work, don't you waste a pot of good chicken?"

Shang Xiaohe was still a little hesitant, if it was his own chicken, it would be fine, but he didn't succeed in eating it.

But after all, this is Lin Mu's chicken, and she has to sell it for tuition.

It's not appropriate for me to say that I want to buy it for money now, and I seem to see people clearly, which hurts the relationship between the two families.

"It's okay, it's a big deal, just like Xia Xia said, if you can't do it, just bring the chicken and eat it."

Mother Lin expressed her unconditional support, and Shang Xiaohe no longer dissuaded her.

"We boiled water at home and plucked the chicken feathers, and only you know what ingredients you want, so you can go out for a walk."

Now that it has been decided, Shang Xiaohe and Lin Mu said that they would do it, and immediately began to make preparations.

Shang Xia was very happy when he saw this, turned his head and said, "Okay, Lin Ran, let's go out and buy materials!" ”

After going out, Shang Xia took Lin Ran into the grocery store downstairs.

"It's Xia Xia, what did your mother tell you to come down to buy?"

The owners of the grocery store are all acquaintances, and Shang Xia did so well in the exam this time, there is no one who doesn't know about this area, so he is very enthusiastic.

"Uncle, aren't I going to school? Mom asked me to buy some big ingredients to brine and eat. ”

Shang Xia still kept a hand, lest he really succeed when he got it, and the production materials and methods were leaked out, causing unnecessary trouble.

Although this idea may be a bit unfounded, she has to think more about the various patent battles in later generations.

"Okay, everything is there, you can see for yourself."

Shang Xia turned around and took the bag with Lin Ran, and filled it with some sand kernels, cardamom, cloves, grass fruits, cinnamon, ginger, tangerine peel, angelica and saltpeter.

These are relatively common ingredients, which will be used to make braised or marinated things, so Shang Xia is not worried about the boss's suspicion.

In addition to that, she bought two packets of salt.

"How do you buy so much salt?"

When the boss saw her taking salt, he asked casually, because usually a pack of salt can be eaten for half a month, and if there are fewer people, it can be eaten for a longer time, so it is generally eaten and then bought one by one.

"The salt at home just ran out, and this thing could be put in, so I thought about buying it and putting it at home, so as not to forget my mother when there was no salt."

Shang Xia replied with a grin, and then went to get some fennel or something.

If she wants to leave it in the future, she will even choose to buy some materials in different stores, so that it is more safe.

But at this time, there are not as many stores as in later generations, and there is no vicious competition, so there will generally only be one such type of store within a distance.

Unlike later generations, there are still clothes sellers next to those who sell clothes, and there are still noodles sellers next to those who sell noodles.

So Shang Xia had to buy more ingredients that he didn't need to make roast chicken, but he usually used them.

When they were picking up things, Lin Mu and Shang Xiaohe, who stayed at home, had already boiled boiling water and worked together to clean the chicken feathers.

After tearing it up, he cleaned the hair that couldn't be torn off on the fire.

"Xia Xia, this kid, always thinks like this, it's a play, you can take care of it a little more."

It is eternal that women like to chat when they work, so Shang Xiaohe took out the internal organs of the chicken's body and chatted with Mother Lin.

"Xia Xia is a spirit, she reads well, she understands a lot, everything can be taught as soon as she is taught, and she learns much faster than our stinky boy!"

As Lin Mu spoke, she remembered the scene where Shang Xia went to her house.

In the past, Lin Ran also took his classmate back when he was young, but that classmate covered his nose as soon as he entered the door, saying that their family stinks.

Because of this, Lin Ran has not taken his classmates to his home for many years.

After guessing that Shang Xia was the girl her son liked, Mother Lin was even more worried that Shang Xia would dislike it, but she didn't expect that people not only didn't dislike it, but also started to help out, how could she not like such a girl?

In Lin Mu's opinion, ability is second, and the most important thing is what the person's heart is.

And the first time she saw Shang Xia, she could see that Shang Xia was a good boy, and it was because of this that she said those words to her son.

Everyone likes to listen to nice words, let alone praise their children, so Shang Xiaohe smiled even more happily.

The two of them cleaned up their muscles and put them there, because they didn't know what Shang Xia was going to do, they simply said that they would take out the internal organs, so they didn't do it casually.

Soon Shang Xia and Lin Ran came back together, and Shang Xiaohe couldn't help but smile when he saw that Shang Xia's hand was empty, and everything was carried by Lin Ran.

This kid is quite considerate.

"The chickens are all cleaned, you can see how you get them later."

Shang Xiaohe took the things and brought them into the kitchen, and then asked curiously.

She hasn't made roast chicken before, so she really wants to see what her daughter will do with it.

Shang Xia washed his hands with dish soap, then wiped them slightly, then picked up a kitchen knife and cut along the ribs, then stuffed the cleaned straw into it, and relied on it to prop up the body cavity so as not to collapse.

After doing this, she followed the steps she remembered, cut off the chicken leg separately, inserted it into the knife, and inserted the two wings into her mouth crossed, so that the whole chicken formed a semicircle with two pointed ends.

Shang Xia watched the chicken become like this, and couldn't help but think of the shredded duck that was vacuum-packed in the later life, and the duck was almost disposed of like this.

The three people next to her also looked at it and didn't understand why she did it, but they didn't ask much.

Lin Mu refused to let go of a single action, and even remembered the angle of the knife cut.

"Okay, now rinse it with clean water and hurry up, then hang it up to dry the water, and then you can do the most important step."

Shang Xia said as he hung up the cleaned chickens, and then beckoned everyone out.

"It will take a while to dry the water, but if it is successful this time, Auntie can handle several chickens at the same time and hang them up in advance when she does it, so you don't have to think about it being so inefficient now."

After saying that, she took a sip of water, she hadn't done it for too long and was still a little unskilled, and she was still quite worried that it would not succeed.

"Eh, the roast chicken I've seen before seems to have its legs put in the belly of the chicken like this."

Mother Lin was very happy, and Shang Xia also put chicken legs in the way she had seen before, which means that it is very likely that what Shang Xia saw was really a way to make roast chicken!

Shang Xia also made a happy look, and said happily: "That means that the method I saw is no problem, maybe it can really succeed this time!" And it's a very old book, I saw it at a used book stall, and I don't think anyone else would do it! ”

Her words made everyone in the room laugh, and for a moment the atmosphere in the cabin became more lively, not as tense as before.

After that, Shang Xia didn't plan to do it himself, but said that Lin Mu would do it himself.

One is because this was originally for Lin Mu to learn, the second is because Lin Mu cooks all year round, and she is more accurate and skilled than her in terms of amount and technique, and the third is - in order to make Lin Mu have confidence in this matter!

Let Mother Lin believe that she can make delicious roast chicken.

This is also Shang Xia's original intention of proposing to make roast chicken at the beginning.

"Auntie, you will do the next."

"Huh? But I won't......"

Unexpectedly, Lin Mu said this sentence that Shang Xia had expected a long time ago.

"Auntie, I'll tell you the way, you just do it. I don't have much time to cook, and I only saw this method in a book, so I'm afraid I don't know the weight of the ingredients. ”

Hearing her say this, Mother Lin was no longer so insistent, and Lin Ran also said to her: "Mom, I believe in you." ”

"Okay, then I'll do it!"

With that, Mother Lin stood in front of the chicken that had been dried and took it down.

"Spread the syrup on the surface of the chicken," Shang Xia said, putting the sugar and water in a bowl in a 2:3 ratio, "so that it is evenly coated and cannot be spilled." ”

She said that Mother Lin was doing it at the same time, meticulous and focused.

While Lin Mu was syruping the chickens, Shang Xia washed and dried the pot, poured vegetable oil and heated it on the fire.

She didn't explain much about this, because Mother Lin also knows how to cook by herself, and she does a better job of burning oil and controlling the temperature of the oil than her.

"It's done."

"Well, put the chicken in the pan and fry it in this oil. Remember, when you fry the chicken in the future, you should burn the oil like this, and the oil temperature at this time should be between 150 and 160 degrees, so that the fried chicken will be more fragrant. ”

This made Lin Mu stunned for a moment, "But how do I know the temperature of this oil, what if the temperature is high or low?" "I want to talk to more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
