Chapter 182: Begin!

Su Fei was lying on the bed, Xiaobai was probably a little tired after a day of trouble, so he curled up next to him and fell asleep, but Su Fei was thinking about it while browsing the Taobao page. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's been a day since he set off, and tomorrow's competition will start in the afternoon, and when it ends, it's going to be night, and it's not good to fly in a hot air balloon at night, so it will be at least two days before he returns to King's Landing.

It's not that he's worried about missing the harvest festival in King's Landing, but he's in a hurry to go back and take care of the store, although he prepared a lot of inventory when he left, but now that the store of Yida Department Store has been expanded, and the huge billboard is standing on the roof, business can't be hot these days.

The advertisement is good, and the publicity effect is good, but if the guests come to Yida Department Store with the golden dragon in a hurry, only to find that there are no goods to buy here, it will inevitably leave a bad impression in their hearts.

"It's a real headache. Su Fei patted his forehead and looked at the moonlight outside the window, and he began to think about how to make tomorrow's chicken-based dishes.

Su Fei has now made up his mind that he is going to make a famous dish in the Jiangnan region of the Celestial Empire, called Flower Chicken.

First of all, the breed of chicken, the best is the three yellow chickens, of course, this world does not have the name of the three yellow chickens given by the Ming Dynasty Taizu, but Su Fei has seen similar poultry when he was in the market before, people in this world generally raise a kind of poultry called three feathers on the head, and the general habits are the same as the chickens on the earth.

In the production process of called flower chicken, the material is the most important, first prepare spices, cooking wine and soy sauce to marinate the chicken, and then stuff the filling into the chicken belly, as for the type of filling, there is no specific routine, as long as the taste is not too heavy things can be stuffed in, the filling material Su Fei has to walk around the market after dawn to determine.

Then there is the lotus leaf wrapped in the chicken, because the south of Raphael Town is not far from the Thousand Faces Lake, as the largest freshwater lake in the Kingdom of West, there are naturally plants similar to lotus flowers on it, but the name of this thing is called green lotus leaves, no matter what the name is, Su Fei only needs to know the same use, and green lotus leaves are not difficult to find in the market, and this large leaf is often used as medicinal herbs.

Further outside, it is naturally the layer of soil that wraps the flower chicken, this soil is not just digging a piece on the ground, not to mention whether it is unhygienic or whether there will be insects in it, from the perspective of taste, the soil that can be seen everywhere can not be used to wrap the flower chicken.

Whether it is in the ancient Celestial Empire or in this world, most of the wine is packed in the jar, and the long-term storage of wine needs to seal the jar, at this time people will use clay to seal the jar of wine, because alcohol has the effect of disinfection and sterilization, so as long as the soil is taken in a relatively clean place, there is no need to worry about mold, and affect the wine in the jar.

These soils have been smoked with alcohol all year round, and they have long been integrated into a very strong wine flavor, but the wine jar mud has no effect after the wine jar is unsealed, the soil is everywhere, and the restaurant does not need to reuse these wine jar mud.

"I think every restaurant will have one, right?" Su Fei said to himself, "but it's shameful to go from house to house to find wine jar mud......

However, in order to complete this dish called Hua Ji, Su Fei had to do this, could it be that he wanted the two ladies to go to the restaurant to ask for wine jar mud?

As a result, when Sophie arrived at the open space in front of Raphael's mansion the next day with a large bag of ingredients, many people recognized him...... It's the guy who came to the tavern in the morning to buy the mud at a high price.

Su Fei also expressed helplessness about this, anyway, the hat of a stupid person with a lot of money was buttoned to death on his head, and even Su Fei heard something said in the crowd......

"I said, he went to the restaurant in the morning to buy soil, could it be that he was going to use mud to cook?"

"What are you kidding?

......

Of course, Su Fei didn't pay attention to these people's talk about him, and stood directly on the makeshift stove, which was actually to move some stones that had been chiseled a long time ago, as long as they were piled up, it would be a stove for fire, and then a table was placed on one side of the stove, which was the venue for this competition.

Sophie looked at the stove across from him, Raphael hadn't come out yet, but he could see the tools on the stove, and in that respect they were exactly the same.

Soon, Raphael, accompanied by his butler, walked out of the room.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers outside the square sounded the voice, Raphael's appeal in the town is unparalleled, although only five people on the scene will be selected to participate in the tasting, but even if you can smell the taste of the food from Raphael's hands, it is already a kind of enjoyment for most people, not to mention, this is to be able to see the whole process of Raphael's cooking.

Sophie took a deep breath, he glanced at Anna and Nicole, who were standing closest to him, and it seemed that among the hundreds of onlookers, they were the only two of them who stood firmly on his side.

Moreover, Raphael's high appeal is not a good thing for him, because the whole competition is seen by the onlookers, so what kind of dishes Su Fei and Raphael make will be seen by them, and the taster will naturally give a higher evaluation when tasting Raphael's works.

This is probably the celebrity effect......

Although according to the rules, Su Fei only needs to get two votes from five people to be considered successful in the challenge, because it is too far away, Su Fei can't clearly see what ingredients Raphael on the other side has brought to the table, but now, he can only concentrate on his flower chicken.

He first put the three-feather chicken he had just bought from the market on the board, the chicken had been slaughtered according to Su Fei's requirements, the shape of the chicken was basically complete, but the hair was removed, except for a gap under the wings of the chicken that was just enough to stuff the filling inside, there was no wound on the outside.

This three-feather chicken is not slaughtered by the traditional method of cutting the throat and bleeding, but directly twists the throat to let the chicken die immediately.

Because the major arteries were not cut, the chicken blood was not released, and as for the internal organs, they were taken out from the incision under the chicken wings, and these things were left directly by Su Fei with the chicken shop owner, and he didn't plan to deal with those troublesome internal organs.

Su Fei washed the whole chicken with water, and when the water was almost drained, he began to rub and rub the chicken with his hands dipped in soy sauce, cooking wine, and salt, and poured some into the gap, blocked the gap, and shook it vigorously to make the whole chicken fully smeared with seasoning inside and out.

This was only the first step in the pickling, so Su Fei took out the cloves and star anise from the spice packet, mixed the two spices and jade fruits, ground them into a powder, and sprinkled the powder evenly on the chicken.

Then, Sophie set the whole chicken aside and began to work on the filling that was about to be stuffed into the chicken's belly.

At this time, Su Fei also looked up at the situation on Raphael's side, although he couldn't see what he was doing specifically, but just looking at his large movements, Su Fei was puzzled, isn't it just to be a chicken, and not to slaughter a cow, as for such a big move?
