"How can there be so many people tonight? I feel at least 30% more than at noon! ”

It was busy until half past nine in the evening, when all the ingredients prepared in the store were used up, and the students who were clamoring outside to buy soup dumplings and hot and sour soup were finally sent away.

Hu Zhihai was so tired that his legs trembled, he moved to the chair next to him, sat down with his ass, panting vigorously, the expression on his face was still a little incredulous,

"For this dinner in the evening, we sold at least about 300 steamed buns, and there was not even a drop left in the three pots of hot and sour soup!

Those steamers are even worse, they have been tortured by high temperature steam repeatedly in a short period of time, and I estimate that this life is at least half shorter than that of others! ”

"That's just so many people tonight."

Jiang Yu also took a long breath, halfway through the business tonight, he saw that there were too many people outside, so he asked Lu Shuwu to go to the front to help, and when he used up all the remaining dough in the back, he simply put it on himself.

The reason for this is nothing more than to let more people eat soup dumplings and hot and sour soup.

He explained as he moved his somewhat sore wrist inside,

"This year's freshmen will start military training tomorrow, if they can't eat tonight, they won't have a chance to eat again for at least half a month."

"Oh, I forgot if you didn't say so."

Hu Zhihai suddenly realized, he saw Jiang Yu open the refrigerator and move a cardboard box out of it, and he was suddenly a little curious.

"Eh, Lao Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Yu was still busy with himself, and he didn't look back and responded: "Make new dishes." ”

"Are you going to make a new dish?"

Lu Shuwu, who was sitting on the side and didn't speak, suddenly jumped up, took a few steps to Jiang Yu's side, and looked down.

"Is this a whole chicken? What are you going to cook? ”

"Whole chicken?"

Hu Zhihai, who was a step slower, also came over at this time, and asked excitedly,

"Lao Jiang, are you planning to be called a flower chicken?"

"Called Flower Chicken?"

Jiang Yu came out with four chickens, stuffed the cardboard boxes back into the refrigerator and closed them, then stood up, turned his head to look at Hu Zhihai, and said with a smile,

"What, you still want to be the Seventh Duke of Hong?"

"It's very troublesome to make a flower chicken, there are no lotus leaves in the store now, and there is no clay, and the most important thing is that the flower chicken is best eaten by firewood."

Lu Shuwu also laughed, and explained to Hu Zhihai and Yan Tongtong, who was standing aside and listening curiously,

"Moreover, the firewood burned is also particular, and it is best to use fruit trees such as lychee wood and longan wood, which will be more fragrant when called flower chicken.

We don't have this condition in our store now, maybe we will change to a larger place in the future, and it is better to have an open-air courtyard or something, then it will be no problem. ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, just listening to you, I'm going to drool."

Hu Zhihai quickly interrupted him, took a sip of water, and then stared at Jiang Yu and asked,

"And what are you going to do here?"

"Seeing that your saliva is about to flow out, I think, just make a saliva chicken."

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw his greedy look, he lifted the chicken in his hand and said,

"The four of us, let's make four chickens today, just one for each person."

"Okay, then I'll go buy some beer!"

When Hu Zhihai heard this, he was overjoyed, and he was about to run outside, but when he ran to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked,

"Xiao Yan, do you drink beer?"

Yan Tongtong was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he waved his hand again and again: "Ah, I, I don't drink!" ”

"And what do you drink? Milk or drink? ”

"Then, let's have a bottle of yogurt, thank you, Senior Brother Hu!"

"Whew! What's the wait? ”

Hu Zhihai waved his hand magnificently, turned his head and ran out.

After Hu Zhihai left, Yan Tongtong said with some embarrassment:

"Boss, this chicken is so big, it looks like it weighs at least two catties, I, I eat one by myself, can't I eat it?"

"It's okay, aren't you going to bring food to your friends?"

Jiang Yu glanced back at her and said with a smile, "If you can't finish eating, just leave one for her to take back." ”

"Oh, okay then."

Yan Tongtong whispered, and secretly thought in his heart, the boss is really a warm man, I didn't expect Xiaoqi, he actually remembers......

Jiang Yu didn't know what Yan Tongtong was thinking, it was not too early, so he had to start doing it quickly.

Saliva chicken is a traditional famous dish in Sichuan cuisine, which is spicy, fragrant and refreshing, and has the reputation of "famous Bashu for 3,000 miles, and the taste of 12 states in the south of the Yangtze River".

When making this dish, the soup used to cook the chicken is very particular and needs to be just right, so as to preserve the soluble protein of the chicken to the greatest extent, increase the freshness of the chicken, and have its unique flavor and taste.

Clean the four whole chickens with clean water, remove the chicken head and chicken buttocks, then put the four chickens into the soup pot, add water to cover the chicken body, and then add ginger slices, green onion knots and Sichuan peppercorns, and then turn on the fire to simmer.

After a while, after the water in the soup pot boiled, Jiang Yu turned the heat to medium-low heat and let it cook slowly, and turned around himself to start preparing the sauce.

After cutting the shallots into pieces and mincing the garlic, he turned another stove on the fire, heated the pot, poured in the raw peanuts with the coat and roasted them slowly until the peanut leather burst and gave off the fragrance.

After pouring out the roasted peanuts and letting them cool, Jiang Yu peeled them again, chopped them and set them aside for later use.

This process seems to be busy, but it doesn't take much time in fact, and Lu Shuwu has been standing on the side and staring at it attentively.

Jiang Yu didn't care either, what he was doing now was known to ordinary chefs, and there was really no need to hide.

As for the recipes that really needed to be kept secret, he had already dealt with them in advance.

It's not that he is stingy and deliberately doesn't let people know the formula, but the formula provided by the system, and the effect is really amazing.

Once it leaks out, if the other party is a decent gentleman, it will be fine, at most it will be used to open a store, if it is obtained by someone with a bad mind, the devil knows how much of a consequence it will cause.

After another moment, the aroma of chicken was already coming out of the soup pot, and Jiang Yu felt that it was almost enough, so he turned off the heat, took out all four chickens, and put them into the ice water prepared in advance.

Immediately afterward, he took out four chilled cucumbers from the refrigerator and washed them, then cut them into long strips of equal size and placed them on the bottom of four large plates.

Then, the four chickens that have cooled in ice water are removed and drained, and cut and arranged.

Four chickens, each weighing nearly two pounds, filled four large plates.

After doing this, Jiang Yu turned on the hot pot again, poured cooking oil into it, waited until the oil was hot, put in the chopped green onions, peppercorns and a part of minced garlic and stir-fried constantly.

After stir-frying, he turned off the heat again, waited for the oil in the pot to cool a little, used a spoon to separate the green onions, peppercorns and minced garlic, and poured the hot oil from the pot into the bowl with the chili powder.

After stirring the hot oil and chili powder in the bowl slightly, Jiang Yu filtered out the red oil in the pot and poured it into another empty bowl.

Immediately afterwards, he added minced garlic to the red oil, a secret sauce that had been prepared in advance, and the chicken broth from which the chicken had been boiled before, stirred well with chopsticks, and set aside to cool.

When he saw this, he couldn't hold back anymore and asked, "You, what is the black sauce you just added to it?" ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Yu glanced back at him in some surprise, then reacted and said with a smile,

"Of course, it's an ancestral secret sauce, and it's not passed down."

“……”

At this point, Lu Shuwu couldn't ask any more.

People say that it is an ancestral secret sauce that is not passed down, but if you ask again, it seems that you are too ignorant, and you may not be able to get an answer if you ask.

However, at this moment, he can be regarded as understanding, why Jiang Yu's soup dumplings and hot and sour soup are so delicious, and it is likely to have something to do with it.

The only thing that puzzled him was that he had never heard of any secret sauce that could be used in any dish, and it was delicious.

This also seems too unscientific!

But before he could figure it out, Jiang Yu had already sprinkled chopped peanuts on four large plates of chicken, then poured the prepared red oil sauce on top, and then sprinkled some chopped coriander on top.

At this point, the saliva chicken is done.
