Before noon, the usual dining place of Pingyang Marquis Mansion was full of people, and everyone was looking forward to today's whole chicken feast.
Chen Xun told Chef Liu and Chef Wang how they made a few chicken dishes and then left. She exercised for half an hour in the morning and stayed in the kitchen for a long time. She was covered in various smells and she still had to go back and change clothes.
.
Chen Xun went back and changed her clothes. When she arrived at the dining hall, it was almost noon, and the first items served from the kitchen were steamed buns and steamed buns.
The steamed buns are also made into vegetables or in the shape of flower rolls, and the steamed buns are made with mushrooms, chicken and other steamed buns, which taste very good.
Next, the lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken was served. There were really many people in the family, so the portion of the lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken was also larger, which was probably enough for everyone to eat a small bowl.
The glutinous rice is infused with the fresh aroma of chicken and the fragrance of lotus leaves. It tastes really refreshing and delicious, leaving people with endless aftertaste. The chicken is also very soft and tender. The chicken produced in this way is not stale or chewy at all.
"This lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken is so delicious." Chen Xun praised while eating, "My third sister knows so many delicious things."
"Sixteen, where are the super delicious boneless chicken feet you mentioned? Haven't they been served yet?"
"I don't know." Chen Xin said, he was looking forward to the boneless chicken feet. You must know that thirty chickens were killed today, and there were only a few chicken feet. With so many people in the family, it is not necessarily possible for each person to eat one chicken foot.
There are more than 30 people in Chen Xin's generation. Not counting Chen Ying, Chen Ran and Chen Ruowei who are married. Adding them together, there are 39 people in this generation in the family.
Counting Chen Ying and his wife's wives, there are more than forty people.
The elders in the family, as well as Chen Ying and his children, bring the number of masters in the mansion to more than sixty people. The chicken feet of thirty chickens may not be enough for anyone to eat one.
The lemon and sour boneless chicken feet were quickly served to Chen Xin and Chen Xun in anticipation and placed on the boys' table.
"What? Chicken feet are only given to a few boys? What about us?" Chen Feng looked at Chen Xun funny and said, but he knew that Chen Xun came up with the rules of serving food today, so he directly asked Chen Xun why he didn't put the chicken feet
Leave it to them.
"Aren't I worried that you don't like eating chicken feet, grandpa?" Chen Xun said sheepishly, some noble people really don't like eating chicken feet, and they always think chicken feet are very humble.
The reason why she had chicken feet brought to the boys' table was because Chen Xin couldn't forget it after eating it, so she thought she could take care of her younger brother.
Hearing Chen Xun talk about chicken feet, Zhao Xuexin, who was quite satisfied with the lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, frowned slightly. She really felt that chicken feet were despicable, and even chicken offal was despicable to her.
She didn't eat the chicken blood vermicelli soup and stir-fried chicken offal for breakfast today. She felt that these were despicable things and not worthy of being put into her mouth.
Except for Zhao Xuexin, Gu Qinglan doesn't like to eat either. She still prefers chicken and other meats. She doesn't eat offal, hooves, claws or anything like that.
In addition to Zhao Xuexin and Gu Qinglan, there are other people who maintain their own identities, so not all of the people in the Hou Mansion are willing to taste the taste of chicken feet and chicken offal.
"Your father-in-law and I grew up in the countryside, and have been on the battlefield for so many years. What haven't we seen before? We used to fight over chicken feet," Chen Feng said with a smile.
For those of them who came from farm families, it was very difficult for them to eat meat in the past. Chicken feet are considered meat. Although they have no taste, they still have some meaty taste, which is also very greedy.
Chen Feng and Hu Guilan are not the kind of people who forget their roots. They suffered hardships when they were young and now they don't really cover up those things in the past. They are very calm and not afraid of letting others know what they lived before they were prosperous.
What kind of day.
"My grandpa ate chicken feet when he was young. He didn't think it tasted good, but it was considered meat after all, so he liked it quite a lot."
"But the chicken feet made by Third Sister looked delicious, so I asked my grandpa to try them." Chen Feng said, "After picking out the bones, grandpa is not afraid of chipping his teeth."
Chen Feng is already in his sixties, and his teeth are not as good as those of young people, but he still wants to taste the boneless chicken feet.
"Okay, Grandpa, let's try the taste of this boneless chicken feet. Is it better than the chicken feet that Grandpa had when he was young?" Chen Xun said with a smile, and asked the servants to share a portion of the plate.
Put the chicken feet on my grandpa's table.
Chen Feng looked at the boneless chicken feet on the plate. The sour taste of lemon, dogwood oil, and peppercorn oil hit his nostrils, which whetted his appetite.
Chen Feng picked up a chicken foot and tasted it. The chicken feet had a refreshing and chewy texture and absorbed the flavor of the sauce. It was really appetizing and delicious.
Chen Feng is a native of Chenjiacun, not far from Chang'an. He was born and raised, so they can still eat sour food. The taste of lemon chicken feet is sour and spicy, which is very suitable for the old man's appetite.
"Madam, you should try it too." Chen Feng picked up a chicken foot for his wife while eating, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, this tastes really delicious, and we don't need it after picking out the bones.
Eat it yourself, it’s very good.”
Hu Guilan nodded and tasted it. She felt that the taste of the boneless chicken feet was indeed good, but she did not eat more because her teeth were not as healed as when she was young. Although the boneless chicken feet were delicious, she
Still can't eat more.
After Chen Xin and the others saw Chen Feng and Hu Guilan eating, they also started to move, and a group of people quickly divided the boneless chicken feet.
"tasty!"
Everyone was praising while eating, and although there was no chirping, there was still some discussion in a low voice, which made Zhao Xuexin and the others on the other side of the female family next door frown slightly.
The etiquette of the aristocratic family says "don't speak while eating". They really don't like people talking while eating. For them, this is really rude.
But looking at Chen Feng and Hu Guilan on the other side of the table, what could Zhao Xuexin and the others do? The first person to speak during the meal was the old man and the old lady of the Hou Mansion. As juniors, they could not reprimand their elders.
The boneless chicken feet are indeed delicious, but the portion is really small. Some people eat three or four of them quickly, but some people only eat one if they are slow. It's really a pity that they can't open them up to eat.
Some people even didn't eat the boneless chicken feet. Watching others eat with relish, and the sour and spicy aroma filled the air, it was really greedy.
"The boneless chicken feet are really delicious, but the portion is too small." Chen Xun looked at the empty plate with regret and said. He only ate two chicken feet and they were gone. He really didn't enjoy it to the fullest.
"Next time, make more and eat more next time." Chen Xin was also very sorry, but he ate almost half a catty of boneless chicken feet yesterday. Although he only grabbed two today, he didn't feel the same as other brothers.
.
"I hope the kitchen will cook more next time. There are so many people in our family, and only sixty chicken feet are not enough to eat." Chen Xue also said.
"Just eat some first, and eat the rest of the chicken on an empty stomach. Have you forgotten the delicious smell you just smelled? The dishes are not finished yet." Chen Xiao looked at his brothers and said.
"Brother Ninth is right!" Others agreed upon hearing this.
They were looking forward to the other dishes, so what was the fragrant dish?
