Chapter Ninety-Three: The Hundred Vegetable Banquet (Ask for Subscription!) )

The invitation has been sent out, and at the same time, there are several branches outside the Yipin Building, all of which are full of announcements!

Liu Zhang wants to make a hundred vegetable feast!

The so-called hundred-dish banquet is a banquet of one hundred dishes, of course, one hundred dishes here is also a false word, some will be more than a hundred, and some will be less than a hundred, but even if it is less than a hundred, it cannot be too bad.

The announcement also wrote that all new and old customers can enter the store to eat at that time, without giving money, even tourists passing by.

When I got the announcement, first of all, the person in charge of several stores, thought it was a dream, and hurriedly called to confirm.

After all, the announcement said that Liu Zhang would go down in person, and he would do fifty of them.

What is the concept of Fifty Paths?

In the case of rural seats, 20 dishes are already time-consuming, laborious and laborious, and among them, there will be eight cold dishes to fill up and 50 dishes...... At least three chefs.

And these fifty dishes don't mean only fifty dishes, but fifty kinds of dishes!

As for how many plates to make, judging from the announcement, this 100-dish banquet will be from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 10 o'clock in the evening!

Eight hours!

They don't have the slightest doubt that anyone will come to eat.

The gimmick of Liu Zhang's cooking alone is enough to attract a large number of new and old diners.

And this was the first thing they were surprised by, and the other one was the chef of the other fifty dishes mentioned in the announcement, traveling around!

Many people don't know what the origin of this trip is, but being able to make a hundred vegetable banquets with Liu Zhang, and being still one and a half, proves that in the eyes of Old Man Liu, the cooking skills of the two are at least five or five!

For a while, several chefs in the store were excited and hurriedly posted the announcement.

Of course, those who know how to travel, especially the main store, look at each other one by one.

"This trip...... It won't be ......."

"How old is he!"

"Yes, but this announcement is from the Liu family, I'm afraid ......."

"What is the origin of this man, such a cow!"

One of them is interested in traveling, and the other is that the physical condition of Old Man Liu is unknown to outsiders, but they know it, especially the disciples, who have not been able to enter the kitchen since three years ago, and some time ago there were rumors that the deadline was approaching.

It's good now, I'm ready to make a hundred vegetable feast!

Not to mention the people in a few stores, those who received the invitation were also confused!

For example, Han Tianbao, who lives in Pengwankou!

When his grandson ran to find him and sent the invitation, he was playing chess with his old friend Shan Yun.

When he got the invitation and saw the content, he wondered if he hadn't woken up.

"What's wrong?"

"See for yourself!"

Shan Yun took the invitation, opened it, and was stunned.

"No, I went to see Liu Lao a few days ago, and he ...... Why are you sending this invitation now?"

Han Tianbao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid yours has also been sent home!"

Both of them also live in Pengwankou, and have a good relationship with Liu Zhang, he visited more than once when he was seriously ill, and he also knew about the fact that he almost died a few days ago.

I talked about it earlier, but I was afraid that there would be one less person to know.

"Call and ask!"

……

"Yes, it's okay, you can come to Yipinlou the day after tomorrow!"

"Yes, it's my dad's invitation, I hope you'll be there!"

"Yes, it's my grandfather's invitation!"

The Liu family, the phone was almost blown up, and everyone's private phone rang one after another, most of them asked what was going on, and these people in the Liu family also hurriedly explained, but they did not mention the physical condition of the old man.

Zhou You, who had warned everyone about the seven-day period, hoped not to say it, and most of them understood that if this kind of miraculous medical skill was really spread, they were afraid that Zhou You would have endless trouble.

The front yard is busy, and the mouth of Pengwan is another

On one side, the three of them are fishing and chatting!

"It's so comfortable to be able to move on your own, eat, and sleep!"

Liu Zhang threw the line, feeling that there was endless energy in his body, and it seemed that he had returned to seventy years old all of a sudden, which was better than ever.

And after that, he made the decision to feast on 100 vegetables.

It can be regarded as a final farewell to old friends over the years, and it can be regarded as exerting one's residual heat again.

The other one, naturally, is Huang Zhongting, since the old man can move freely, he follows him step by step, of course, everyone knows his purpose, travel!

Huang Zhongting is the holy hand of Xinglin, especially good at incurable diseases, especially a silver needle, saving countless people, even in the entire province, it is also famous.

But even such a bullish person was still frightened by Zhou You.

So he followed Liu Zhang, but actually kept asking questions about traveling around from time to time.

At the beginning, it was still relatively vague, and I tried one after another, and the questions were a little shallow!

After all, this is the craft of eating, and it is actually taboo to ask about it, but then I found that Zhou You did not hesitate to teach, so he was like a primary school student, thinking of what to ask, and Zhou You didn't care at all, and taught Huang Zhongting everything he knew.

Hearing this, Huang Zhongting's head dizzy, especially for the description and exploration of the human body's meridians and essence, he obviously had a little insufficient head, and fell into deep thought, so that he didn't know if the fish was hooked.

"Hehe, I haven't seen him like this in many years!"

Liu Zhang lifted the fishing rod in the yellow atrium with his hand: "Yo, it's still a grouper!"

After taking off the fish, Liu Zhang asked Liu Qingyao to get some tea.

When the others left, Liu Zhang said, "What do you think of my granddaughter!"

Zhou You was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay!"

Not bad?

Liu Zhang pursed his lips and said, "Don't harm my granddaughter!"

Zhou You: What is this called!

"I heard Qing Yao say that you are divorced and have a child, haven't you thought about remarrying?"

Zhou You leaned back, and said without thinking: "Let it be, life is in the world, how can there be so many arrangements, maybe you want to get married at a certain moment, and maybe you don't have the idea of getting married in your life, anyway, you just want to be quiet from the beginning!"

Liu Zhang looked at Zhou You for a long time, and sneered: "You said you, how old are you, how do you feel like my bad old man!"

Zhou You also smiled, and said in his heart When I left in my last life, I was about a few years younger than you, so if I have to say that we are the same age, it is okay!

"Let's find another one, and find someone to talk to!" Liu Zhang said and smiled to himself, and said: "Actually, you are indeed too young at this age, I think that in my era, I should have married earlier, a lot of people who got married at the age of fifteen, sixteen or seven, and everyone who had children could be seen everywhere, but when I got married, I was already in my twenties and almost thirties!"

Just chatted about it with a match, and talked about cooking again.

"What kind of cuisine are you good at?"

"Good at? Cuisine? All I can say is that I'm good at cooking!"

"It's not a small tone!" Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows, even if he is good at Fujian and Cantonese cuisine, of course, other Sichuan, Hunan and so on, but Chinese cuisine is a huge system, like thousands of years of history.

You can say that you read the history of the Tang Dynasty and know the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but you can't say that you are proficient in history!

Winter goes to spring, the seasons change, dynasties rise and fall, rumbling for thousands of years, who dares to say that they are proficient in history?

……

Two days went by in a flash!

There are 50 dishes on each side, and the menu has been put up early.

After all, with so many dishes, how could it be possible to do it yourself.

Since yesterday, Yipinlou has been overcrowded, and the people who eat are second, and the most people are to see the excitement.

Now these fifty or sixty people on the street, the locals who live nearby, or those who settled in Pengcheng in the early decades or in the past ten years, who have not eaten in Yipinlou?

So when the big-character poster is posted, it attracts the flow of customers

volume, then it is not dozens or hundreds, but thousands, or even thousands.

Because of this, this event also greeted early, and the alley next to Yipinlou and the small park on the side were also vacated.

I definitely can't sit down in the building, since that's the case, let's just eat the flowing water seat, and everyone doesn't care about this, after all, you can eat the dishes made by Liu Zhang himself.

Those who know are not fools, and they can probably guess that this may be the last time Liu Zhang makes a move in his life, so this meal has other meanings.

"I'll go, it's a big show!"

"Nonsense, this is a first-class building, and it was Liu Zhang who shot this time!"

"Yes, although he also sat in Yipinlou from time to time in the early years, every time he cooked, he basically couldn't eat it!"

"It's not all predestined to go by those who have status!"

"Hey, you're wrong, you may do it privately for those who have status, but as long as he makes a move in Yipinlou, he can basically only go to Yipinlou in person to line up to eat!"

"Yes, in the early years, every Saturday and Sunday, there was a long queue in Yipinlou, and the lively scene is still vivid!"

Although the table was only opened in the afternoon, the people who came to see the excitement early had already crowded the streets, and Yipinlou also prepared herbal tea, and even had a special person to maintain the venue.

"Tsk, it's really worth a life to be able to cook like this!"

"Nonsense, if you can burn this taste, you can have this scene too!"

"Speaking of which, half of the 100-dish banquet mentioned in the announcement was handed over to Zhou You, who knows what this Zhou You came from!"

"I don't know!"

"Perhaps...... Is it Old Man Liu's apprentice?"

"It seems that there is only one possibility, I heard that Old Man Liu is in very poor health, and he is getting older, so I want to make a hundred vegetable banquet at this time, I am afraid that I want to make a name for myself as an apprentice before leaving!"

"Hey, envy, Liu Lao, this is for Yipinlou, and he has worked hard!"

There are not a few people who speculate like this, and even in the Yipin Building, those who don't know Zhou You's identity also guess that Zhou You may be a closed disciple that Old Man Liu has been hiding, and for a while, there is more jealousy and envy.

Zhou You was also shocked by this meeting, you know, this is in the urban area, thinking that after a hundred years, maybe there will be this meeting, or even bigger.

"I'm not going!"

When Liu Zhang came, he definitely had to say hello and walk from the main entrance, after all, there were many older people here who knew Liu Zhang, but Zhou You didn't like this kind of scene, so he chose to go through the back door.

"It's okay, Qing Yao, you follow him around and see what he needs!"

On this side, Liu Qingyao and Zhou You left through the back door, while on the other side, Liu Zhang went directly to the gate.

Some people who have seen Liu Zhang are excited after recognizing it.

"It's Old Man Liu!"

"Wow, that's him!"

"Didn't you say that you are old and in poor health? How do you look ...... now?"

Liu Zhang's face was full of red light, and he walked steadily, his eyes were bright and bright, where was the meaning of dying.

"Hello everyone, thank you for cheering!"

Liu Zhang greeted with a smile, and when he entered the main hall, he got up a lot.

Han Tianbao opened his mouth for a while before he said, "Old Liu, you ......?"

Shan Yun smiled: "Look at your old body, you can have another twenty or thirty years!"

Liu Zhang laughed: "No, no, no, there are only a few days to live!"

Everyone only took him as a joke, after all, he was full of anger when he spoke, and he just looked old, in this hall, they were basically all older, and some even started eating since the opening of Yipinlou, decades of old feelings, not just diners.

After saying hello one by one, Liu Zhang entered the back kitchen!

At this time, Zhou You was also waiting inside.

"Originally...... I should have begged you to come over directly!"

Liu Qingyao's biggest regret is Zhou Youyi

The hand is miraculous, but the most surprising thing is also the hand of Zhou You's miraculous medical skill.

She regretted it because she didn't pull Zhou You directly to Pengcheng, and the surprise was that Zhou You gave the old man seven days of life.

For people of their level, money is of little use, and what is really precious is time.

Seven days is no longer something that can be measured in money.

Zhou You shook his head: "It's useless, it's too late to come over at that time, but it's just a few more days to live!"

To put it bluntly, Liu Zhang has reached the age of waiting for death, and what is the difference between one more day and one less day in a wheelchair every day!

Of course, Liu Zhang was lucky, and waited for him in pain!

At this time, those helpers looked at Zhou You, with strange eyes, until the old man came, and a sentence broke the silence: "You guys, divide it, half with me, half with Zhouyou, this is a rare opportunity, you follow him to learn hard!"

There are a lot of first-class cooks, and most of them are talented, but it's a pity that Liu Zhang didn't have time and energy later.

Soon, one person was divided into five!

Zhou You tied an apron, and at this moment, the two peak figures finally began to do it.

"I made the marinated meat last night, let's marinate!"

When I burned the banquet before, I traveled around the braised pork and the like, but this time there were too many people, and there were professionals to help, so the secret recipe for braised meat was handed over to Liu Qingyao to do.

"It's all right!"

Next to it are several large iron buckets, beef, pork, chicken, duck, mutton, and most of them are already cooked.

In addition to these meats, the most is all kinds of seafood, after all, in the coastal city, Yipinlou also focuses on seafood.

"First course, white cut chicken!"

Each city has its own characteristics, such as not a single duck can swim out of Jinling alive, no fish can swim out of Wudu alive, and no crayfish can crawl out of the land of Jingchu alive!

When it comes to chickens, as the first domesticated poultry raised by humans, it can be seen everywhere from life to diet.

If you want to say that the domestic chicken eating province, it must be Guangzhou, after all, there are rumors that people in Guangzhou can eat 3 billion chickens a year!

What is the concept of three billion, according to the two legs of a chicken, that is six billion legs, that is to say, the chicken legs consumed by the people of Guang Province in a year are enough to circle the earth twenty times!

It's probably because chickens and Ji have the same sound, so they love chickens like their lives, and they don't like chickens, and even the map is like a chicken leg, so there is also a saying that no chickens can't be a feast!

White cut, salt baking, oil residue, soy sauce, etc., fancy chicken can be done for half a year without repeating the same!

But when it comes to their favorite, the white-cut chicken is characterized by its exquisitely made, freshly cooked and tender, without toppings and maintaining its original flavor!

Even in the eyes of some chefs, whether you can cook Cantonese food depends on whether you can make a dish of white-cut chicken!

"Live chickens!"

This is the basic requirement for making white-cut chicken, and it is cooked now!

The kitchen over there hurriedly brought a Qingyuan chicken, and traveled around the visual inspection, the chicken hair removal should be about one and a half catties, and the most suitable for white-cut chicken is 700 to 1000 grams, and it is best to be three months to four months in size!

As for the variety, you can choose small chickens such as Qingyuan chicken, Wenchang chicken, etc.

Pinch the wings and claws with one hand, pluck out a little hair under the neck, as the saying goes: the chin of the chicken-necked duck is the location of the bloodletting.

With a knife, the chicken struggled for a while, and then it was already dead!

The most important thing is the film on the chicken, which must be carefully removed, because the white-cut chicken is not used as a material, so if this film is not clean, it will be full of odor!

After cleaning up, you can use the knife, clean up the chicken, there is only one purpose, and that is to hollow out!

Liu Qingyao also had a few helpers on the side to watch from time to time, seeing that Zhou You was fast, steady and ruthless, especially when he was doing it, he also talked about it from time to time, although the white cut chicken was very familiar to them, but it was such a detailed explanation

, which also made a lot of people feel good.

The pot here is already hot, Zhou You cut some chicken paste, and then pour it directly into the hot pot, burst out a little chicken fat, and then add green onion and ginger, wait until the fragrance bursts, pour hot water, and then add salt.

Then prepare a large pot of water and prepare the chicken to put the chicken in the pot, first cut off the chicken feet, because once the hot water is too hot and the chicken is tightened, the chicken feet will move, commonly known as "dead chicken holding rice cover"!

Wait until the water is boiling, then add a little salt, adding salt to prevent the water in the chicken's body from flowing too much, and then causing the meat to dry out.

At this point, you can serve the chicken without any onions, ginger and garlic, after all, ginger will rob the chicken of its flavor, and green onions will change the color of the chicken's skin.

Carry the head of the chicken, soak the chicken in water, and so on three or four times, the temperature inside and outside the chicken will be in a state of equilibrium, and then continue to heat!

Wait until the water reaches seventy or eighty degrees again, continue to dip the water, three or four times, and then cover it.

"Is the dipping sauce ready?"

"That's it!"

The standard ginger and scallion oil, in addition to sand ginger oil, coriander ginger and scallion oil, basically depends on personal taste!

It's almost time, and the chef here has already prepared the brine and added ice cubes!

Take out the boiled chicken and put it in the brine with ice, this is to quickly cool down, prevent the inside from being overcooked, and also make the chicken skin tight, which is where the crispy taste of the white-cut chicken comes from, and at the same time, it can also lock in the moisture inside and prevent the meat from becoming hard!

After it has cooled completely and dried off, you apply a layer of oil to the chicken, and then start cutting the chicken!

The bone tube is bloody, and the flesh is bloody!

Zhou You also did it when he burned the banquet in Lingqu Village, but it was not bloodshot, this is to take care of the locals!

But it's not used here, it's not bloodshot, and they really don't think it's authentic!

Finally, a plate of authentic white-cut chicken is complete!
