It only uses one cup of rice wine, one cup of lard and one cup of soy sauce, hence the name Three Cup Chicken.
Because no soup is added during cooking, the heat is difficult to control and cannot be mastered by cooks in a moment, so this dish was cooked by Yu Sheng himself.
The three-cup chicken is simmered in a clay pot and on a small stove. The meat is crispy and fragrant, and it immediately arouses the greed of many people when it is placed in front of them.
With the Beggar's Chicken and Taiye Chicken in front of him, Zhou Baichuan already had a lot of knowledge about the deliciousness of chicken, and his expectations were clear in his chest.
However, when he picked up three cups of chicken with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth, he was still amazed.
Different from the meaty aroma of Beggar's chicken, and different from Taiye's chicken accompanied by the aroma of tea, the chicken in three cups has a strong aroma, sweet and salty, salty and fresh.
The taste of rice wine and lard is almost brought to the extreme, and it also complements the aroma of the chicken itself.
Yu Sheng's three-cup chicken dish has a soft texture and strong chewing sensation, which makes everyone intoxicated and lingering aftertaste. They don't want to say anything for a long time, immersed in the taste and can't extricate themselves.
After a long time, Zhou Baichuan sighed, "Shopkeeper Yu cooks such good chicken, I'm afraid any other chicken food will be tasteless in the future."
Everyone present nodded in sympathy. The city lord slowly tasted three cups of chicken and ate Shaoxing wine. Quan thought he didn't hear anything.
It has to be said that these three cups of chicken are even more delicious when moistened with Shaoxing wine. They are just the right wine to drink and make people want to drink more.
After feeling a little full, the city lord started talking to everyone again, summarizing all the events in Yangzhou in the past year and thinking about the future of Yangzhou City in the next year.
Although the news that Dongshan was going to open a trade route had already spread in the city, everyone present was still very happy after getting the exact news from the city lord.
Needless to say, there are business opportunities here. The four families immediately expressed their strong support to the city lord, and the Monster Hunting Department and the Ghost Hunting Department also obeyed the city lord's instructions.
"No need to say anything, City Lord." Zhou Baichuan patted his chest and said, "Whether it's money or people, our Zhou family will never lag behind others."
Zhuang Zisheng's father, Zhuang Sheng, joked: "Whoever is in your Zhou family just keeps my daughter-in-law in front of her."
He handed over to the city lord and said, "City lord, please be my master. Zisheng and Miss Feng are already grown up. Do you think we should get married as soon as possible?"
Zhou Jiufeng stayed behind and could not speak, so Zhou Baichuan spoke for her, "There is no need to alarm the city lord about the affair between our two families."
Bu Suanzi, the head of the Bu family, helped Zhuang Sheng in time, "That's right. Moreover, I have already told you whether my son will be born. I will ask for the marriage after I win the first place in the lantern festival tomorrow."
He winked at Zhuang Sheng, "I think this is a good idea, but I don't know if the Zhou family dares to accompany this bet."
"Bah, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Baichuan slapped the table, "We'll see what happens tomorrow."
"That's not right." Zhou Baichuan immediately came to his senses, "If your banker wins, you will add more people to import, but our Zhou family won't get any benefit from winning?"
"Uh", Bu Suanzi and Zhuang Sheng were stunned for a moment, then saw Zhou Baichuan slam the table again, "In this way, if our Zhou family wins, your children will marry into our family."
"That's unreasonable." Zhuang Sheng immediately slammed the table. He was the only one who had a son like Zhuang Zi.
"That's only fair."
Zhou Baichuan sat down, picked up a chicken bone, held it in his mouth, and crossed his legs leisurely, "The banker won't dare, right?"
Zhou Baichuan allowed Zhou Baichuan to provoke the general, but Zhuang Sheng firmly refused.
When they were arguing fiercely, Aunt Wang, who was sitting next to the city lord, spoke up, "Okay, what's the point of making a noise in front of the city lord."
After suppressing them, Aunt Wang, who spoke now, simply started giving instructions about tomorrow's affairs.
When it came to setting off fireworks, the old priest raised his head and said, "Sir, the so-called fireworks refer to the gunpowder from Chang'an City in the old days."
"Exactly." Girl Zhao nodded.
After looking at each other and considering this, the old priest said, "Isn't there something wrong with this?"
Showing goodwill to the city lord is an order given by the wilderness warrior, and it is also a shortcut for the witch academy to develop in the Eastern Wasteland.
After all, with King Donghuang's son here, it would be impossible for him to be as domineering as before.
Moreover, among the four kings of the wilderness, the one that the Witch Court is least willing to offend is the king of the east wilderness. The reason is very simple, the other kings still have their reasons.
As for the King of Donghuang, her fist is the truth.
She will only reason with you when she can't beat you. Therefore, no one in the wilderness can reason with King Donghuang more than a slap in the face.
"What's wrong with having some fun during the Chinese New Year?" Zhou Baichuan was still holding the chicken bones in his mouth.
The old priest ignored him and just looked at the city lord.
He said slowly: "As far as we know, Chang'an City was destroyed by the gods at the beginning of the Holy War because of these fireworks."
"What!?" The calm city lord was stunned.
There are no saints in Chang'an City, and it is not a major city against the gods. Why was it chosen and destroyed overnight?
This is a mystery that Miss Zhao has never solved.
Now tell the city lord that the reason is the fireworks set off during festival celebrations in Chang'an City, and she can't accept it for a while.
"It's exactly these fireworks." The old priest nodded firmly.
The ten witches of Lingshan are close to the Queen Mother of the Wild King, and the King of the Wild West is the king of all demons in the Wilderness, so the information is very sensitive.
During a banquet with the witch Wu Xian, the Queen Mother of the West accidentally mentioned this incident and said that the destruction of Chang'an City was caused by fireworks.
"The Lord of Chang'an City was kidnapped by a giant, do you still remember it?" the old priest talked about the past.
But of course Miss Zhao remembered that Panhu later rescued the city lord.
Miss Jianzhao nodded, and the old priest continued to speak.
After returning to the city, the lord of Chang'an City learned from the pain and decided to think of a way to fight against the giant and make Chang'an City truly peaceful and stable.
After thinking hard for a long time, the city lord had an idea after seeing someone injured during a fireworks display one day.
From then on, he handed over Cebu in the city to the Li family, and he hid in the city lord's mansion and studied fireworks that could injure giants.
Finally one day, fireworks powerful enough were built.
The city lord quietly left the city and took revenge on the giant tribe that kidnapped him.
Later, a monster witnessed the tragic scene of the giant tribe. The corpses were bloody and disfigured, making it difficult to look directly at them.
An innate god was responsible for investigating the incident, and finally learned from the survivors that the cause of all this was the Lord of Chang'an City.
"The relationship between the saints was already very tense at that time. It can be said that this incident accelerated the arrival of the Holy War." The old priest said.
At the same time, in order to prevent the gunpowder in the hands of Chang'an City from becoming more powerful, the gods simply flooded Chang'an from the beginning.
"That's not right. Giants and humans are all mortal. It is reasonable to be afraid of gunpowder. What are the gods to be afraid of?" The city lord put down his wine glass unknowingly.
Si Wu spoke, "Has the city lord ever remembered that one of the three major tribes of the human race is located in the Central Plains?"
Girl Zhao nodded. This New Year festival originated from the fact that this tribe drove away the giant tribe and obtained the fertile land.
"It's just a legend that this tribe stole the soil. The fact is that their leader got a magic weapon and used it to drive away the giant."
Xu Shi felt that it was not shocking enough, so Si Wu continued: "Although this tribe is the ancestor of everyone in the Central Plains, it does not have direct descendants."
Their direct descendants are the people of Chang'an City, and the magic weapon that drives away the giants...
