Gourmet Food Supplier,1918 Three touches of sauce - Read free novels online

What surprised Kang Hu was the way Yuan Zhou spread the sauce. It was very special and he had never seen it before.

He didn’t wipe it with his hands. Before that, Yuan Zhou had already dipped a handful of green wild garlic into the sauce and then started to smear it on the chicken.

The speed of Yuan Zhou spreading the sauce was quite fast. He only used one hand and didn’t touch the chicken meat with the other hand at all. In no more than three minutes, he had spread the sauce all over the chicken.

“I didn’t even see it clearly. It turns out that there’s so much to pay attention to even applying sauce.” Jin Hai’s eyes were dazzled, but he still opened his eyes wide, afraid of missing the crucial step.

“Roasting golden birds is probably an ancient recipe passed down from the Tang Dynasty.” Yuan Zhou explained,”in fact, there’s a saying called ‘san mo sauce’. In other words, the sauce has to be served three times. For example, when cooking roast chicken, the first time is to spread the chicken wings and head by hand. The second time is to spread it with wild garlic or ginger, and the last time is to pour it over.”

“Both ginger and wild garlic can enhance the flavor of the meat and reduce the fishy smell at the same time. The ancient people were really smart when it came to eating.” Yuan Zhou explained. He had tried fresh ginger and wild garlic, and in the end, the latter was more suitable.

Strictly speaking, both Kang Hu and Jin hai were just one step away from the realm of a master chef. They also felt that they had seen a lot of things, but they had never heard of the “sanmo-chan” mentioned by Yuan Zhou.

Actually, they hadn’t heard of him before. It wasn’t because they were inexperienced. Even if they searched online now, they couldn’t find “sanmo-chan.” The main reason was that after the yuan Dynasty,”sanmo-chan” had been replaced. The only reason Yuan Zhou knew was that he was Yuan Zhou.

While marinating the chicken, Yuan Zhou started to roast the chicken in the kiln. He used the pine branches and cypress branches in order to preserve the fragrance and make the taste of the roast chicken better.

This was the method that Yuan Zhou thought of when Wu Hai said that chicken meat was a little more dry than roast goose. First, he roasted the chicken in the kiln until it was 70% cooked. Then, he roasted it in the open fire and finally collected the juice. In this way, the firmness, crispness, and tenderness of the meat would rise sharply.

According to the steps, Yuan Zhou did it step by step without any hurry. The roasting method was also quite good, so Yuan Zhou also explained it to her.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were three main methods of roasting meat, which were “call the fire, lower the fire, and cross fire.” This was the conclusion Yuan Zhou came up with from the “Yunlin Hall’s food system collection” written by Ni Yan, the “secret of Shi Hong” written by Zhu Yizun, and the “Suiyuan food list” and other ancient books.

What Yuan Zhou used was the usual method of “roasting with brick fire” used in the Ming Dynasty. To put it simply, Yuan Zhou felt that this ancient method could still be improved due to the problem of the era.

During the roasting process, Yuan Zhou explained while intentionally slowing down the speed so that Jin hai and Kang Hu could see clearly. Of course, this was just Yuan Zhou’s idea.

Yuan Zhou’s slow-motion was only for himself. As for Jin hai and Kang Hu, the two of them could only barely remember.

He had sighed in his heart countless times. Head chef Yuan’s knowledge of cooking was simply too complete. Previously, Yuan Zhou had a nickname called “Sichuan cuisine Kun Lun”. Kang Hu and Jin hai felt that it should be “Chinese cuisine Kun Lun”.

“CI la CI la!”

The oil dripped on the flame and made a sound. A strong fragrance was constantly emitted from the roast chicken. Jin hai and Kang Hu both felt that they must have not eaten for 10 days. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so hungry. If Yuan Zhou wasn’t there, they might have already snatched the chicken. It was really too fragrant.

“Yingluo, Yingluo.”

He sucked his saliva into his mouth again and finally heard the sound of nature. Yuan Zhou announced that the roast chicken was done and then put it on the big plate. Without any movement from Yuan Zhou, the roast chicken was divided into pieces with heat.

“You guys can try.” Yuan Zhou looked at the two people who couldn’t wait to stick their eyes on the plate and said.

“Alright,” he said. The two of them answered in a strong voice and then pounced on the roast chicken.

He didn’t know how long he had practiced this familiar posture of a hungry tiger pouncing on a sheep, but it was very similar to the posture of a black beast.

“Could it be that, in the end, Wu Hai’s way of eating is the most common way?” Yuan Zhou felt that the posture was quite familiar.

“Hiss, it’s hot.” Compared to Kang Hu, Jin hai had a geographical advantage and was standing one step closer. Therefore, he first picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. Coincidentally, he picked up a piece of chicken breast.

Logically speaking, no matter how one roasted the chicken breast, it would always feel a little dry and the texture would be a lot worse. However, when Jin hai put it into his mouth and bit down on it, the rich juice immediately rushed out. The fresh and tender chicken meat, coupled with the gravy, was particularly delicious. The slightly crispy chicken skin added a little toughness to the tenderness. The light pine and Cypress fragrance complemented the fresh and sweet chicken meat, making it quite delicious.

“This is the roasted golden bird recorded in the family’s records.” Jin hai shook his head as he ate. From time to time, he would take a piece and put it in his mouth, his expression one of enjoyment.

In any case, Jin hai was certain that this was the authentic recorded dish the moment it entered his mouth. In fact, to be precise, it should be more delicious than the original one. Yuan Zhou had improved it.

As for Kang Hu, he only had the instinct to eat now. As long as his mouth was empty, he would pick up meat without stopping.

“It’s already more than half done. I should be able to taste it now. It’s time for my Big Crow to make an appearance. ” The Black Beast had been crouching at the door for a long time.

When he saw the amount of chicken on the plate decreasing at a visible rate, he knew that Yuan Zhou had specially prepared this dish for Jin hai and the others and probably wanted to teach them how to cook it. Therefore, he restrained the eating instinct of animals. After making sure that he had already tasted the chicken, Wu Hai took action.

“Swish”

Jin hai and Kang Hu only felt a gust of wind, and then there was no more.”Bang!” The sound of chopsticks poking on the stone table was heard, and the plate disappeared.

The moment he raised his eyes, the plate appeared, and then there was no meat left.

“Compass, this chicken is even more delicious than yesterday ‘s. It’s almost as good as the roast goose.” Wu Hai stroked his beard and said.

Jin hai and Kang Hu weren’t strangers to Wu Hai. They had all heard of the divine beast of master chef Restaurant, not to mention that both of them were Yuan Zhou’s loyal fans.

“Your latent ability has improved a lot. I actually didn’t notice it just now.” Yuan Zhou thought in the heart.

That’s right. Wu Hai sneaked to the door the moment he smelled the fragrance. However, it was strange that nobody, including Yuan Zhou, found him before he came out.

After eating the chicken, Wu Hai left, leaving Jin hai and Kang Hu to continue to circle around Yuan Zhou. After all, such an opportunity was too rare. If he didn’t seize it, he would definitely be a fool. Jin hai and Kang Hu took out all the cooking questions they had during this period of time to ask for answers.

Jin hai asked about the roast golden birds. Yuan Zhou had already known that it was impossible to demonstrate it once, so he wrote a booklet for Jin hai.

What Kang Hu asked was another question about cooking, and the two of them had gained a lot.

Kang Hu and Jin hai didn’t leave after the consultation. They stayed in line for dinner.

After the busy dinner time ended, Yuan Zhou went upstairs and intended to wash up. The pub time was about to start.

“What’s the date today? Isn’t it almost time to sell the new year goods?” Yuan Zhou walked to the table and intended to flip through the calendar.

He was asked every day when the new year goods would be sold. Yuan Zhou had almost become used to looking at the calendar.

“Eh? The old grandma will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I should take some time to visit her. ” Yuan Zhou flipped through the calendar and found that tomorrow had been circled out. On it was a line of small characters,’the old grandma will be discharged’.
