Chapter 168 Chicken stewed mushrooms
Erya shook her head and said: "Then how can it be done, don't say that we still have to look at the hotel, even if we really go, we also go by our ability, what's the matter with you."
Lin Xiao went, that was his father, although she also longed for life in the big city, but also with their ability, follow Lin Xiao, as if it was his oil bottle, sending people under the fence is not the life that Erya likes.
Seeing Erya refusing, Lin Xiao also knew what she thought, forget it, she didn't want to go, she wouldn't go, this time, he didn't know what it would be like in the future, or wait for him to stabilize there, and take Erya over to enjoy the blessings.
Speaking kung fu, the dishes came up, this half of the morning, Jiang's mother ordered people to make big dishes, chicken stewed mushrooms, braised pork ribs, squirrel osmanthus fish, stewed pigeon soup, this will be early, otherwise, she still wants to serve a plate of barbecue.
Seeing that there were still people walking here with two plates of dishes in the back, Lin Hai hurriedly stopped him and said, "Enough, enough, I can't eat so much."
Erya said mischievously: "Uncle, it's not easy for you to come all the way, and you gave us a big red envelope, so I have to let you try our specialty spicy crayfish."
Seeing the red dish in front of him, Lin Hai definitely secreted saliva in his mouth.
"It's okay, isn't it all wasted if you can't finish eating?"
"That's it, there's no one behind, Lin Xiao, tell your dad to eat quickly, along the way, I'm hungry."
Not to be outdone, Xiaobao began to make a fuss, and Jiang's mother could only say embarrassedly and carried him back to the house.
Lin Hai looked at a large table full of dishes on the table, the fragrance was fragrant, and he was very appetizing at first glance.
"Your mother is too polite, let's just have a simple meal, you see, this has made you break the bank."
"Uncle, you can eat if you are worried, I have shares in this restaurant, and you can discount it."
I was in a panic to find Lin Xiao, and I didn't eat well along the way, but after I found it, I went to Lin Shishi's house, and climbed the mountain to go to the cemetery.
Erya listened to Lin Hai's hungry voice funny, and hurriedly grabbed a chopstick dish and handed it to Lin Hai: "Uncle, you can taste it, this is a specialty dish in the restaurant, see how it tastes?" ”
Lin Hai picked up a piece of chicken in the bowl and put it in his mouth, this chicken was different from the chicken he usually ate, the meat was firm and elastic, and it was chewy and chewy.
"This meat is different from what I usually eat, and it feels delicious."
Erya explained carefully: "The chicken that makes this dish is not a small chicken or a chick, but a big rooster that has grown up, so "small" has the meaning of being young.
The chicks held out in spring can be eaten around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the meat is tender and juicy.
When raised to the New Year, it will grow into a majestic rooster of more than three catties, and the meat is tight and fat. Of course, chickens also have the meaning of "stupid raising", that is, chickens cannot be fed, only eat corn grits, insects in the soil, and drink water from mountain springs.
People will also chop up the vegetable leaves and mix them into the chicken food, so you can imagine how fragrant the chicken grows.
The mushrooms used to make this dish are mostly hazel mushrooms, of course, the more advanced ones are yuan mushrooms and lion's mane mushrooms, no matter what kind of mushrooms are wild in the mountains and forests, which can be called mountain treasures; No matter what kind of mushroom it is, it must be dried and soaked to have a unique flavor.
After the chicken died, it was scalded with boiling water, haired, disemboweled, and removed from the intestines of the chicken, and several pieces were unloaded. After these are done, blanch the chicken in boiling water before stewing, skim off the white foam and filter out the chicken fat.
Add cooking wine and ginger slices to the water of blanching the chicken, boil the chicken in boiling water for three to five minutes, and drain it in a basin for later use.
Under the pot of the shelf, the pot was poured with yellow stupid soybean oil, the oil was smoking, and a pot of chicken nuggets was poured into the pot by "brushing", and immediately made a warm squeak.
Stir-fry quickly with a spatula so that all the chicken pieces are dipped in oil, cover the pot and listen to the pot singing. After a while, open the pan and stir-fry the chicken pieces, and then cover the pot, until you hear the pan making an almost hoarse sound in the frying fire, and conclude that the water is dry (this process is called stir-frying chicken, and the fire must be big and urgent, so that the meat can be firmer).
Then pour white wine, light soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, salt, green onion and ginger into the pot, add water, the water should be submerged over the chicken, and then the stewed chicken began.
Remove some of the fire, use a slight heat if you are not in a hurry to eat, and stew it slowly, when the chicken is stewed until it is seven or eight mature, the soup in the pot is obviously less and thicker.
Add the soaked mushrooms and simmer them again, and when the soup is only a little bit, the dish is ready.
The mushrooms have absorbed enough oil from the chicken soup, and they have become soft, fat, and fragrant, and the small pieces on the mushroom umbrella cover are like the lines on the lips of a girl.
Chicken stewed mushrooms should be eaten in a pot, a bowl in front of each person, and they can be eaten as they go, and they really have to "eat in the bowl and look at the pot".
Even if there is too much chicken to fit in one pot, the first pot of chicken served on the table must be filled with chicken heads, chicken hands, and chicken offal, which means "eat whole".
Each part of the chicken is also particular, and the head of the chicken is the head of the family, symbolizing the highest status; Those who eat chicken feet can earn money at home, and scratch the money at home; It is the child who eats the chicken heart, and it means to let the heart and eyes grow; Chicken wings are given to the girl, hoping that she will be able to comb her hair skillfully.
Of course, for the children or the elderly at home, people still put the chicken thighs over, and people agree that this is the most moving live meat on the chicken.
People's praise for the quality of chicken thigh meat is enough to prove the truth that life lies in movement at the dinner table. Women are more fond of eating mushrooms, which have the flavor of chicken soup and avoid the oiliness of chicken, and people still think that only mushrooms can help chickens become famous all over the world.
In short, when people in their hometown entertain guests or encounter the New Year's Festival, they must be chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Lin Hai said with emotion: "It turns out that there is so much knowledge in this dish, Erya, you know a lot."
Lin Xiao said proudly: "Erya is smart, there is nothing she doesn't understand, just with her, the days when I move out of that house are getting better and better." ”
Erya said modestly: "How can there be, I just love to eat, so I only compare my studies on eating, uncle, you eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold for a while."
Speaking of which, this chicken stew with mushrooms has to be eaten in winter to feel good, but in this early autumn weather, it tastes good.
Lin Hai took the dishes on the table and cooked two bowls of rice, and the taste of this dish was better than what he ate in a five-star hotel.
I've tasted all the other dishes, that is, a crayfish haven't eaten yet.
"This is the crayfish you are talking about, how do you eat it?"
