Chapter 561: Raise your eyebrows
And in this dish, the kite eagle is even more difficult to find.
The eagle is the king of birds, and it has always flown high and far alone, and it is rare to see.
Ordinary people often only hear the eagle's cry and do not see it.
Because of this, eagles also had various auspicious meanings in ancient times.
It represents lofty aspirations, great futures, and soaring clouds, representing the highest expectations of the ancients for future generations.
In the culture of the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty, the eagle was a sacred bird, representing courage and strength.
Therefore, since the appearance of this dish, it has only appeared in court banquets, and has never entered the people.
In this dish, the kite is stuffed into the belly of the female goose, and the pot is simmered over a slow fire, and it is cooked little by little.
And the appearance of this dish is also from Qianlong's personal instructions.
Before the 80th birthday banquet of Empress Xiao Shengxian Niu Hulu, Qianlong specially told the imperial dining room to make a dish to express gratitude to his mother for raising her.
So, after more than two or three months of Zheng Er's research, this dish was made.
In this dish, the female goose with all five constants represents the Niu Hulu clan, the Empress of Xiao Shengxian.
And the kite eagle in its belly represents Qianlong, who has perfect martial arts.
It implies that a mother gave birth to a powerful son, representing Qianlong's feelings for his mother.
But whether it is the ancient kite eagle or the modern fighting that Li Yi found as a substitute, it is an ingredient that is too old and extremely difficult to stew.
In particular, it has to be stuffed into the stomach of the wild goose, which is difficult to heat and even more difficult to cook.
In order to ensure the integrity of the outer layer of wild geese and make the internal fighting taste, it cannot be stewed in a pressure cooker.
So, this pot of [skillfully roasted goose kites] has been simmering on the stove since noon.
I've been stewing for eight hours now.
After eight hours of stewing, the pot of soup that was originally full has been stewed until only one layer of soup base remains.
And the goose goose in the pot has also been stewed softly, and the bones can be easily extracted.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Yi carefully took out the wild goose with a colander.
Dayan's neck was fixed by Li Yi's chopsticks, so he still maintained a posture of standing tall.
After placing the wild goose on the plate, Li Yi helped it adjust its shape, and then placed flower-shaped accessories carved with carrots, yellow radish, white radish, green radish, and red heart radish around the plate.
At the Manchu and Han feasts, this dish needs to carve pieces of feathers from goose eggs, cover the body of the wild goose, and then pour a thickened soup to create a dark brown effect of feathers and tails, and whitening inside.
But Li Yi didn't plan to do the same, because it would be too tiring, and he didn't have that much time.
So, he burned a pot of syrup, dipped it in the syrup with chopsticks, put it on the wild goose's body, and then pulled it off.
When the sugar filament broke, it formed a crystal fluff and stuck to the wild goose's body.
If you dip one chopstick into one, ten chopsticks will make you dipped in ten.
Li Yi grabbed a pair of chopsticks and quickly made a layer of fine fluff on the wild goose's body.
But this is only the first step, and it is the goose down part that is made.
Then Li Yi scooped out the syrup with a spoon, made feathers made of sugar in the tray, and inserted them into the wild goose.
Soon, sugar-yellow feathers covered the geese's entire body.
The syrup feathers reflect the dazzling light in the light, and it looks very dazzling, and it has the feeling of a jewel.
This shape is more beautiful and striking than the original goose egg feathers.
On the way to Li Yi's production, the audience in the live broadcast room was already amazed.
By the time the feathers covered it and the shape appeared little by little, the barrage in the live broadcast room had already begun to freeze.
Almost all the audience was posting a barrage, admiring the shape of the dish.
"Oh my god! That's pretty too, right? ”
"! Is that okay? ”
"I'm convinced! This dish should be considered a work of art, right? ”
"Seriously, if I had any money, I'd collect it!"
"It's so beautiful! The lights on it are too beautiful, right? ”
"Who can stand this?"
"I finally understand why girls always like those shiny things, and I like it too!"
"If you put it in front of me, I really don't want to eat it, this dish is too exquisite!"
"Hurry up and ask a few ladies outside to come in and take a look, although they play queens and concubines, they may not have seen this level of cuisine!"
"What about those brainless fans? Let's take a look, can your brother Feng make this kind of dish? ”
The old viewers in the live broadcast room, who had been disgusted by fans for a long time, finally raised their eyebrows and exhaled, and posted barrages one after another, ridiculing fans.
And those fans who blew rainbow farts in the live broadcast room for a day seem to have disappeared collectively, and there is not a single barrage to be seen.
But this doesn't mean that they didn't send a barrage, it's just that they were also amazed by this strange-shaped dish, and they were also amazed by the barrage.
"Oh my God! It's so beautiful! It's fantastic! ”
"Can this kind of dish be made by humans?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that there was such a dish in the world."
"This is the best cooking!"
After being amazed for a long time, a fan who finally came back to his senses posted a few sour barrages.
"It's a bit of a bully, Brother Feng is not a professional chef, why is he so compared?"
"That is, the shape is better, and the food may not be delicious."
"How does this look like making a cake? It's not like cooking, is it? ”
"Bells and whistles, formalism."
And after these barrages appeared, they were quickly drowned in the tidal barrage, and the old viewers fought back.
"Oh? Now that it's not a professional chef, who was blowing your brother to beat a professional chef before? ”
"Isn't it a culinary prodigy, a gift? Would you like to try this dish? ”
"Do you know what formalism means? Just messing around here? ”
For a while, the fans' barrage collapsed in front of the old audience, and they were washed away in three or two clicks.
After inserting the last tail feather, Li Yi clapped his hands with satisfaction, took two steps back and admired it.
This dish is not the original version of [skillfully roasted goose kite], but a modern version that he has improved by combining the skills of the white case.
This is his exclusive version.
The final product was exactly the same as he had envisioned, or even better than the shape he had conceived, and he was a little amazed.
Even he, the creator, felt amazing, let alone others.
Liu Yifei, who was watching the whole process from the sidelines, was already starry in her eyes.
And just after Li Yi called Wu Lei in, Wu Lei, who came in with a toothpick in his mouth, opened his mouth wide in surprise when he saw this dish, and the toothpick in his mouth also fell to the ground.
"...!"
Wu Lei's eyes widened, and he almost burst into a foul mouth.
He walked quickly to the front, leaning on the desk and looking at the dishes on the plate, amazed again and again.
"That's pretty too, isn't it?"
He suppressed his voice, and he didn't dare to breathe too much, for fear of blowing away the feathers that were as thin as cicada wings.
"Okay, let's take it out quickly, while it's hot, it's going to be cold in a while."
Li Yi said, and went to the pool to wash his hands.
Hearing this, Wu Lei nodded, then carefully picked up the plate and walked to the front hall.
Li Yi washed his hands, took off his apron, put it on the desk, and walked to the front hall.
As soon as he reached the door of the back kitchen, he heard an exclamation from the front hall.
"Wow!"
"Look good!"
"It smells so good!"
"...!"
