Tony and Rock Li both had understanding smiles on their faces. When they came into contact with Zhao Youqian's cooking for the first time, they often had an illusion. Could this really be done by humans?
In fact, they have also conducted some research, and the fact is that it is possible, but the actual operation is very difficult.
Even if it's just a dish that Zhao You did not meet the standard, it would still require the best efforts of a famous chef in their world to barely reach that level.
However, it also proves that this is not an area that is impossible to touch, but an area that ordinary people cannot touch, and it is beyond the existence of ordinary people and they will not waste time on it.
Moreover, Zhao Youqian's cooking is not only delicious, but also has special power. It activates the energy of various ingredients to the maximum extent, and can even make dishes that can specifically activate certain aspects of power according to ingredients from different worlds.
This kind of power is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is also the unique ability of Zhao Youqian's world.
So Tony Stark was very happy to see such a beautiful woman like Shang Xiu showing such a surprising and charming look. There was no malice at all, it was just the joy of being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
"Miss Shang Xiu, right? Since you mentioned things like martial arts, you should be the same as Qi Gong, with inner strength and the like. After you use it for a while, you will realize that the store manager's food is not just delicious... .”
Under Tony Stark's intentional reminder, Shang Xiu quickly woke up from the unpredictable taste on the tip of her tongue and noticed the true energy flowing in her body. It seemed that there were clear forces merging into it. Unknowingly, she His cultivation foundation has actually improved by two points!
Shang Xiu, who was already a second-rate master in the world of the Tang Dynasty, now suddenly has the Qi of a first-rate figure, and is finally no longer out of reach of the innate realm.
Knowing that her martial arts talent was not very high, she never imagined that she could make such amazing progress just by eating some food.
'It seems that I guessed wrong. Just from the name of a place where delicious food from all over the world gathers, I should have thought that delicious food alone cannot have such an amazing appeal!'
'Perhaps this small restaurant is the most critical strength for Pegasus Ranch to gain a foothold in troubled times!'
The world of Shangxiu was already showing signs of entering chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. As a place in the hinterland of the Central Plains that could produce high-quality war horses, Pegasus Ranch's status in the troubled times was evident, and it had become a favorite in the eyes of many people.
After all... the power of cavalry in ancient society is far beyond what modern people can imagine, especially in a world with extraordinary powers such as martial arts.
Shang Xiu, who was originally worried about the future of her ranch, suddenly felt stable. No one thought that this was because of the confidence that a bowl of jelly snacks brought her!
...
The recipe for beggar's chicken recorded in Peach Blossom Food is actually not complicated.
You must know that this is ancient times after all, and the recipes developed based on beggar's cuisine will naturally be limited by the background of the times.
So when making it, except for the troublesome steps of mixing the yellow mud, the rest is very simple.
You must know that according to the most traditional cooking method of beggar's chicken, even the feathers are not removed. The chicken is killed, wrapped in yellow mud and burned. The final product is that the chicken feathers and yellow mud are removed at the same time. The taste is really indescribable.
Huang Rong has changed this step a lot. According to the people's point of view at the time, it was already a finely crafted dish.
Use spice powder to marinate evenly, add Huadiao wine and (huo) mud, follow the steps in the recipe, stuff the marinade with red dates, astragalus and shiitake mushrooms into the chicken belly, then wrap it in lotus leaves and tie it with cotton thread , wrapped in three layers in total, and tied three times.
After ensuring that the chicken would not be exposed, the chicken was wrapped in yellow mud filled with the aroma of Huadiao wine. When the whole chicken was wrapped in yellow mud, it was put into an oven preheated to 200 degrees and heated up and down to 200 degrees. , bake for another two hours.
This recipe that belongs to the world of ejaculation is basically complete.
But obviously this is not the focus of today. After trying the simmered wild boar and failing, Zhao Youqian already had a vague idea of the flavor of the recipe he wanted to transform.
It is also a whole chicken that is the same size as the previous beggar's chicken. It uses Yaozhou's famous three-yellow chicken. The meat is tender, fragrant, delicious and of high quality.
And you should choose baby chicken, so that the roasted chicken will have a melt-in-your-mouth effect.
At this time, Zhao Youqian took out another pig's front trotter, cut only the front part of the pig's trotter into small pieces, and then blanched it in water for later use. The onions and ginger were used to remove the fishy smell and blood.
After marinating it with light soy sauce, a little sugar, and Huadiao wine, Zhao Youqian began to prepare this new three-yellow chicken.
Different from the previous method of directly marinating with spice powder, this time Zhao Youqian did not use too many spices, onion, ginger, pepper water, a tablespoon of oyster sauce and light soy sauce, but the most special thing is Zhao Youqian's massage technique.
Break the whole chicken of the three-yellow chicken into pieces as far as possible according to the joints, and then use a sharp needle to continuously poke small holes inside the chicken. It seems to be to make the chicken more flavorful when marinated, and it seems that I have other ideas.
Zhao Youqian's hands seemed to be gently brushing over the chicken's body, massaging the whole chicken. However, after a short time, the chicken seemed to have lost all its bones and completely relaxed. It originally needed to be marinated in the sauce for at least an hour. , it was completely absorbed by the chicken in just ten minutes.
At this time, Zhao Youqian's transformation of this dish has just begun. The previously blanched and marinated pork knuckles are stuffed into the chicken belly, and then put in Codonopsis pilosula, red dates, longan, and barley, followed by the beggar's chicken. A completely different step is to pour the chicken stock that has been boiled for a long time into the chicken's belly and is always available in Zhutian Restaurant.
Then use a bamboo tube to plug the gap on the chicken's buttocks, tie it tightly with a straw rope, and then wrap it in lotus leaves. According to the traditional method of beggar's chicken, wrap the wrapped chicken in the yellow mud that has been reconciled before. Place on lotus leaves and finally put in the oven.
It still takes two hours of roasting under high and low fire. This is a new beggar's chicken recipe that Zhao Youqian came up with by combining the three sets of duck from Yaozhou and the new dish of fairy chicken from Hunan Province.
He called it the ‘Qiankun Chicken’!
It represents the meaning of the universe within.
At this time, the traditional beggar's chicken that had been put into the oven had been roasted until it became fragrant. Shang Xiu, who was not yet hungry at first, but was looking forward to Zhao Yougan's dish after tasting the jelly made by Zhao Yougan, could no longer sit still.
He walked to the kitchen quite directly and consulted Zhao Youqian.
"Manager, how long will it take for your food to be ready?"
"I'm already hungry again!"
A trace of her daughter's coquettishness appeared inexplicably, but Shang Xiu didn't seem to notice how seductive her expression was at this moment. She stared at the unfamiliar kitchen utensils, and all she imagined in her heart was how delicious this dish would be. .
Fortunately, although the beauty is charming, Zhao Youqian is also a battle-hardened figure. When he heard a professional question about dishes, he quickly came up with his own attitude.
"You still need to wait a little longer. If you are still hungry, my guest, I can prepare braised food prepared in advance for you. It is also a good choice to kill time..."
