Chapter 700: That Must Be the Way!
"Chu Shen, what do you mean by handling the duck rack?"
"Like, isn't that thing a bone? Do you still have to deal with it and give it to Chu Shen and Miss Xiaoyue to eat? ”
Chu Qian thought briefly for a moment and answered the waiter's question.
"As is customary, half salt and pepper, half soup."
"Okay, do you two need anything else?"
Chu Qian ordered a few more signature dishes of the capital, saying that it was the signature dish of the capital, but in fact, they were all dishes of several other cuisines, and they were not unique to the capital.
After the waiter took away the menu, Chu Qian began to communicate with the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Everyone, maybe you don't know much about roast duck, but we also have a certain understanding of roast duck because of this visit to the store."
"In fact, there are several factions of roast duck, the northern faction is the roast duck in the capital, although there are many roast ducks in the capital, but their practices are not the same."
"Ducks should be crammed, whether it is Juquande, or Fuyunji, or another suitable imitation of them."
"But why did they choose to make duck pies, none of them gave a detailed response, and I think it should be related to the secret recipe of roast duck."
"By the way, I'll give you a little bit of popular science knowledge to all the brothers in the live broadcast room."
"In fact, everyone thinks that Juquande is the most famous restaurant in the roast duck industry, and it is also the one with the longest history, right?"
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately responded.
"That has to be the case!"
"Even foreigners have heard of Juquande, isn't Juquande's fame big enough?"
Chu Qian chuckled and looked at the camera and shook her head slightly.
"In fact, if it is simply compared to history, the real history is the longest, or Xiangyifang!"
"Xiangyifang used to be a place to supply roast duck to the emperor, and there was an emperor in ancient times who liked to eat Jinling sliced duck the most, so there was Xiangyifang."
"As for Juquande, it is also a kind of improvement of Jinling Pian Pian Duck that arose later, so if it has a long history, Xiangyifang, which is famous for Jinling Pian Pian Duck, is the one that has been in business for the longest time."
While talking, Chu Qian's roast duck had been pushed to their box by the chef of the slice duck with a small cart.
"Two guests, this is your duck, I will slice the duck in front of you next!"
It was the first time for Xiaoyue to eat this kind of roast duck, so she was immediately interested.
"Does every roast duck have to be sliced before it can be served?"
The chef of the slice duck nodded towards Xiao Yue, "Roast duck used to be eaten by rich people, because the process of making it tests a person's patience very much. ”
"That's why there's a duck master's job."
"One is to make the guests better to eat, without gobbling up, which seems to be unliterate."
"The second is that in this way, we can better show the places suitable for the entrance in front of everyone, so that everyone can eat the parts they want to eat!"
When she saw the chef of the duck slicing the roast duck skin first and cutting it into a separate plate, Chu Qian explained to the audience in the live broadcast room: "This is the special thing about roast duck. ”
"I'm sure you've all heard of roast duck and roast goose, that kind of production method will make the duck skin and duck meat together, and it is difficult to separate easily."
"But the roast duck is not painful, and the roast duck should be aerated between the skin and meat of the duck before roasting the duck, so that the skin of the duck and the duck meat are completely separated!"
"In this way, the fat between the skin and the meat of the duck can also allow the skin to be grilled at the temperature alone, achieving a charred and crispy texture!"
After hearing Chu Qian's explanation, the master of the slice duck also cast an appreciative look at Chu Qian.
"Look at the two of them, they shouldn't be locals, but I didn't expect to have such a deep understanding of roast duck!"
Chu Qian chuckled, "We are doing food exploration, so naturally we have to know more than ordinary people." ”
"However, I've heard a saying that the skin of roast duck dipped in sugar will have a different flavor, right?"
The chef of the slice duck nodded, "That's right. ”
"Two guests can take a look, there is white sugar prepared in advance on the table, and the two of you can dip the duck skin in white sugar and taste it."
"This is a habit left over from ancient times, I heard that when roast duck was popular, those ladies in the boudoir also liked to eat roast duck very much, but because they didn't like to accompany the shredded green onion to relieve greasy, they invented a way to eat with white sugar."
"Waiting, this way of eating has been handed down, once we see a female guest, we will definitely provide a plate of white sugar!"
Xiao Yue glanced at Chu Qian, but she was a little resistant in her heart.
The duck's skin fat is still very rich, and the white sugar is sweet and greasy, and the combination of the two really makes her unable to eat.
But when the chef of the duck slice put a plate of duck skin on the table, Chu Qian immediately picked up a piece of duck skin, dipped it in white sugar, and put it in his mouth.
However, this time Chu Qian did not give any evaluation.
For her, this roast duck dish was a bit of a big disappointment.
Although according to the requirements for roast duck, as long as the duck skin can be separated from the duck meat, and the color is not a problem, it can basically be regarded as a qualified roast duck.
However, the duck skin she had just eaten in her mouth made her feel that there seemed to be grease flowing in her mouth, and a greasy feeling couldn't help but make her difficult to swallow.
Xiao Yue saw that Chu Qian had tried it, and wanted to try it too, but Chu Qian stopped Xiao Yue with her eyes.
At this time, the chef of the duck has already slipped the duck, and the remaining duck rack will be taken to the back kitchen to be processed.
At this time, the waiter also began to tell Chu Qian and Xiaoyue about the specific steps to eat roast duck.
"Two guests, you can pick up a piece of roast duck, with or without skin, with or without skin, with the skin will enrich the taste, without the skin you can feel the delicate meat of the roast duck!"
Then the waiter pointed to the sweet noodle sauce on the side, "Two guests dip a little bit of sweet noodle sauce and put the roast duck on the crust in your palms." ”
"Then you can put shredded green onions or cucumber strips according to the preferences of the two of you!"
"Then roll up the crust and bite into it, and the different textures blend in your mouth, which is the essence of roast duck!"
After saying that, the waiter made a gesture of please.
"Please use it slowly, I won't disturb the meal, I wish you two a happy meal!"
Chu Qian and Xiao Yue, under the guidance of the waiter, also delivered the first lotus leaf cake to their mouths.
But at that moment, Chu Qian and Xiao Yue glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little intriguing.
The audience in the live broadcast room, after seeing Chu Qian and Xiaoyue's reactions, realized that something was not quite right.
"God Chu, what's wrong with you?"
"Is the roast duck in Fuyunji so unpalatable?"
