Even if she wanted to vomit after eating, Dong Xiaowan still had to cooperate and continue to eat.

Even if you vomit and eat again.

For Ivan, time was really short, and he had to make two innovative delicacies on abalone and chicken in one day, so that he could continue to help Lao Jiang according to his suggestion and win back the job competition.

"Ding, the host successfully upgraded the steamed and grilled abalone to the top grade second-class delicacy, and the special reward points are 1,000. ”

There is always a reward for the effort.

After a lot of repeated trials and adjustments, a first-class delicacy was finally born from Ivan.

This is the top taste of abalone!

Ivan had a satisfied smile on his face.

It's time for innovative cooking of chicken.

For the culinary innovation of delicious chicken, Ivan did not have a mature idea, but only had a preliminary idea.

This initial idea is to learn from the top cooking method of chicken in Suzhou cuisine.

As one of the eight major cuisines in China, Suzhou cuisine, like Cantonese cuisine, also pays attention to the taste of peace and lightness, the original soup is thick but not greasy, and the cooking is also rigorous, pay attention to color matching, and pay attention to shape.

The biggest difference is that Cantonese cuisine has a wider range of ingredients and more ways to prepare it, while Su cuisine has a sweeter taste.

In Ivan's view, because the characteristics of the two cuisines are relatively close, many delicious cooking methods in Su cuisine can be borrowed from the cooking of Cantonese cuisine.

For example, the cooking of chicken.

In Su cuisine, there are many famous dishes related to chicken, such as watermelon chicken, stewed chicken, Changshu called flower chicken, farewell concubine, etc.

What Ivan needs now is to learn from it.

But to learn from that delicious chicken specifically, he doesn't have a clear idea.

"Xiao Wan, do you know where the best chicken is in Jinling?"

Dong Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Ivan no longer tries to make fresh abalone, she will be relieved.

However, in the face of Ivan's question, she could only shake her head: "I only know that Qin Lou's chicken is not delicious." ”

Generally speaking, people with a well-developed sense of taste are relatively picky about eating.

According to Ivan, the chicken that can be produced in Qinlou will not be worse no matter how bad it is, at least it can reach the level of medium-grade deliciousness.

However, for Ivan, the medium taste is not up to his requirements.

So what to do?

Ivan was not familiar with the whole Jinling at all, and he didn't know where to find delicious chicken.

The same is true for Dong Xiaowan.

She has been in Jinling for less than half a year, and she basically hasn't left the vicinity of Qinlou much.

So what to do?

Fortunately, at this moment, Fang Yizhi came to Moon Tower with a group of people carrying large boxes and small bags.

Ivan was a little puzzled for a moment.

"You're moving here with a lot of bags, what are you going to do?"

"Help the teacher decorate the bedroom and study!"

A very surprising sentence for Ivan.

"What do I want a study bedroom for?"

"Of course I want a study, I don't want a study, where will I learn from you when I come in the future?"

Fang replied as a matter of course.

"I don't have a book, why do I need a study?"

"I've brought all my books here, what more do you want? I'll buy them for you. ”

Ivan was relieved.

Dare to love this guy really stuck to himself, and even moved his own books.

Is this the rhythm of preparing this place as a base?

But the question is, what's the use of his books?

Classical Chinese is too obscure to read!

Forget it, Ivan doesn't want to bother with these things.

For him, the important thing now is to go and eat chicken.

"Do you know where the best chicken is in Jinling?"

Ivan realized the beauty of the dungeon.

If it were in reality, it would be difficult for him to find an authentic Su cuisine in Huacheng, or that in this Su cuisine, there happened to be high-quality chickens.

And in the copy it is different.

Because it happens to be located in Jinling, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, all kinds of Su dishes should be tasted here.

"Eat chicken, Dongshenglou's overlord Farewell Concubine is good! Let's go, I'll take you to eat." ”

Fang Yizhi did not disappoint Ivan.

It's just that he didn't expect that even the famous Su cuisine overlord Farewell Concubine would be able to eat it in this era.

According to Ivan, "Farewell My Concubine" is a traditional dish in the Xuzhou area of JS.

This is a dish created by the people of Xuzhou to commemorate the leader of the rebel army at the end of Qin, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, the hero of Qin, and Yu Ji, the peerless beauty who cares about the national fortune and is righteous and awe-inspiring, which has been passed down from generation to generation and passed down to future generations.

Farewell My Concubine, formerly known as Dragon and Phoenix Braised Princess, originated from Pengcheng (now JS Xuzhou), the capital of the Western Chu Dynasty.

According to the record of "Dapeng Cooking Record" in the early years of the Republic of China, the overlord set up a "dragon and phoenix banquet" for Yu Ji Niangniang during the "Founding Ceremony".

Later, Zhang Sanju inscribed a poem for it: "A dragon and phoenix feast, taste all the freshness in the world." Treasure and good Huanyu, suspected to be nine days. ”

"Dragon and phoenix stew" is the main large item in the "dragon and phoenix feast".

Its material is a turtle (turtle belongs to the aquarium, the head of the dragon aquarium) and a pheasant (pheasant belongs to the feather family, the head of the phoenix feather family), so it is extended to the dragon and phoenix to meet and get the name.

Later, because of the mass breeding of chickens, turtles and pheasants were gradually replaced by turtles and chickens.

Turtle and farewell, chicken and Ji, are all homophonies.

For this reason, the dish was later named Farewell My Concubine.

This dish has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has become an indispensable dish in Xuzhou in later generations, and has become an indispensable dish at festive banquets.

Ivan was curious about how delicious the Farewell My Concubine could be in this era.

"Go, take me. ”

He decided to try it and see if he could find inspiration in it.

If that didn't work, he'd have to find something else.

Ivan and Dong Xiaowan, under the leadership of Fang Yizhi, began to go to Dongsheng Tower sensibly.

Unlike Qin Tower, Dongsheng Tower is a pure restaurant, not a brothel, but a little farther away, near the Confucius Temple and Guozijian across the river, a little bit away.

Walking on the road, Ivan was still recalling the specific methods of Farewell My Concubine.

This is something he has carefully researched online.

It is a dish that combines stew, boil and stir-fry, but there are many ways to make this dish in later generations.

But no matter what kind of chicken and turtle it is, the chicken and turtle are fresh and crispy, the soup is mellow and rich, and the taste is first-class.

It is said that on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, went to Xuzhou to perform "Farewell My Concubine", and the whole city was a sensation under the wonderful performance.

After the performance, the host set up a feast, and one of the dishes on the table was "Farewell My Concubine".

As soon as this dish was put on the table, I saw that there were turtles and chickens in a large porcelain basin, Mr. Mei praised it after tasting it, and even ate two turtles, and the rest of the guests on the table were also amazed, making this dish even more famous in later generations.

The only thing Ivan didn't know was what kind of classic dish was made in the Ming Dynasty.

This made him look forward to it.

Not to mention, even those methods in reality can be transformed into Cantonese dishes after improvement.

This is exactly what Ivan was looking forward to.
