Chapter 784 Shen Jiayue: The career of a matchmaker is over before it even begins!Cook Three Cup Chicken! 【Subscribe】

"Hello Dundun!"

As soon as Shen Jiayue entered the door with Dundun in her arms, she ran into Miss Fu who was walking out from the inside.

Her clothes are still so graceful and luxurious, not only covered with famous brands, but also full of extravagance, paired with a relatively ostentatious rose perfume, the whole person really looks like a rose with thorns.

Dundun called out to her as a response, then jumped out of Shen Jiayue's arms, ran in quickly, and went to play with George.

Shen Jiayue looked at Miss Fu and asked:

"Are you going back?"

"Yes, I went back. I searched for a few good pieces of jade two days ago, and I just came here to give them to Master Deng, and asked him to carve some jade... When your cousin got married, I was still out of town, so I didn't congratulate you face to face. I'm sorry. ha."

When Deng Lisong accompanied the ceremony that day, he put 10 yuan on the ceremony table alone, probably to help the rich sister.

From this point of view, Sister Fu is indeed Sister Fu, even if she is not an acquaintance, she even asked someone to give 10 yuan to her when she heard that there was a happy event. From this point of view, she is a friend worth making.

Shen Jiayue said:
"Needless to say I'm sorry, didn't you all follow the ceremony... Go to Lin Ji when you have time, we will treat you to dinner."

"Okay, no problem. I'm going abroad in the afternoon. When I get back, I'll go to the store and try your famous staff meal to see if it's as delicious as the legend says."

After Fu finished speaking, she stepped out.

Shen Jiayue looked at Sister Fu's back enviously. She liked this kind of mature dress very much, but she couldn't manage it. She could only follow the pure and youthful route.

Alas, being young is such a flaw!

Shen, who was in the midst of blessings, shook his head unaware of his blessings, and walked into the gate of Deng Lisong's house.

George was showing his latest toy to Tundun as if offering a treasure. The little guy was bigger than before, and he already had the appearance of an adult cat.

But because of the growth period, the meat has not kept up, so it looks a little thin.

Every cat has an embarrassing period in the process of growing up. Fortunately, George is almost over now. When the skeleton is well developed and more fleshy, he can become a standard black and white pig.

Deng Lisong was worrying about several huge pieces of jade in the studio, when he saw Shen Jiayue coming in, he waved a weak hello and continued to worry.

Shen Jiayue asked:
"Why does Miss Fu keep looking for you?"

She originally wanted to hint to Deng Lisong that it might be that sister Fu had other ideas, but Master Deng didn't get the meaning at all:
"If you have money, last time she asked me about the processing fee, I quoted a sky-high price, which originally made her quit, but who knew that the money came in less than 5 minutes... I hate this kind of rich people. gone."

As expected, you can't beat around the bush when communicating with a straight man of steel... Shen Jiayue asked again in an indirect way:

"Is Miss Fu single now?"

Deng Lisong shook his head:
"How can a person like her be single? It is said that she has a fiancé who lives abroad all year round, and has also won the French Order of Knights and the British Royal Knights. He is very popular at home and abroad... What do you ask this for? I want to give it to my side A friend of yours as a matchmaker? This kind of person doesn’t seem to be living a life, and he is not suitable for people in our circle.”

Shen Jiayue: "..."

Leaving aside the fact that he has a fiancé, how do you know that Miss Fu is not a person who just lives?
Logically speaking, Sister Fu's appearance should be based on the aesthetics of a straight man. Why is Master Deng belittled so much?
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"What kind of girl does Master Deng like?"

Deng Lisong thought about it seriously:

"Be quiet. It's better to like a social circle where reading is not so complicated. I am a simple and pure person, and I hope that my other half will be more simple and pure."

Well, it can be seen from this point that Deng Lisong and Fu Jie are not the same people.

Shen Jiayue originally wanted to match a couple, but she didn't expect that it would end without a problem before it even started. As expected, not everyone can do matchmaking.

Reminiscent of those matchmakers in ancient times, most of them had moles on their faces, they were ugly, and I was really not suitable for this job when I was young and beautiful.

She didn't bother Deng Lisong anymore, but went outside to play with Dundun and George with a cat teasing stick.

On the other side, Building No. [-] of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Lin Xu drove into the yard, parked, and just got out of the car with Hao Qingfeng, when he saw Bai Pengbo driving the battery car for internal commuting to Building No. [-].

"Haha, I knew there was an event in Building No. [-] today, and I guessed it right."

Bai Pengbo saw several chefs coming to Building No. [-] early in the morning. He thought it was just a routine to find good things, but when he saw Lin Xu's car also coming, he guessed that today No. [-] There was something going on upstairs, so I drove all the way to follow.

Lin Xu said:

"Take a photo of Three Cups of Chicken with Chef Jin, and let's take a look at other dishes by the way. Isn't Assistant Bai busy today?"

"I have nothing to do. I just drink tea and read the newspaper. By the way, I help Director Liao sort out the information. As long as I don't have any foreign affairs, I will basically be semi-retired every day."

As soon as Bai Pengbo heard that he was going to make a video, he immediately pulled out the car key, planning to go in and have a look together.

Although it is a three-cup chicken, there are several chefs here today, and they will definitely not only shoot one dish, so as long as you follow them, you will definitely have something delicious at noon.

Several people came to Building No. [-] together, and Bai Pengbo said to the front desk manager as soon as he entered:

"We're looking for Chef Jin, we went straight in..."

Before the front desk manager had time to speak, he took Lin Xu straight to the back kitchen, passed by the pastry department, and picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and ate it, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

It can also be seen from this point that Jin Shangwen is a very introverted and reserved person, unassuming, and turns a blind eye to things around him.

Take Bai Pengbo's behavior as an example, if he dared to do this in the No. 18 building, Lao Xie would chase him with a kitchen knife and hack him, but in Lao Dai's No. [-] building, he would make Bai Pengbo go out crying.

The head chef of each building has its own personality, and so do the people brought out.

That's why Bai Pengbo dared to eat in the No. [-] building, as if he had returned to his own home.

When he came to the back kitchen of Building No. 40, Lin Xu met Jin Shangwen, the executive chef here. He was about [-] years old, but he looked a little older because of his early baldness.

Seeing Lin Xu approaching, Jin Shangwen greeted him with a smile:

"Brother Lin is welcome to come and guide us. Building No. [-] is not as fancy and prosperous as Building No. [-] next door. I hope Brother Lin will not dislike you."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Where is it, I really like Building No. [-], it has a kind of homely warmth."

Building No. [-] is relatively small, from the yard to the restaurant, it feels like you have come to a super luxurious villa.

Jin Shangwen smiled:

"Brother Lin just knows how to talk... This is Director Hao, right? Last time I saw it at Joy Media, welcome, welcome, I have no experience in making videos, and I am planning to ask Director Hao to learn from him."

Hao Qingfeng hurriedly said:
"You're being polite. Let's add WeChat later. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. Let's discuss together."

Just as we were exchanging pleasantries, Ning Yiheng, the executive chef of Building No. [-], came out of the kitchen next door with a goose paw. He gnawed on it and said to Lin Xu:

"Brother Lin, try the spicy stew from Building No. [-], it's really amazing."

Fan Ming, the executive chef on the 11th floor, is also here. In addition to the goose paw, there is also a whole goose gizzard in his hand, and he is also gnawing:

"Eating this spicy food is enjoyable. It is very suitable for our old Shan's appetite. It is indeed the starting and ending point of the Long March back then. The taste is so similar."

Jin Shangwen looked at the two and said:

"Shit, you just don't dare to go to Lao Dai's place to make troubles, so you come to me to eat and make food. It's almost enough. If you eat again, I will tell Lao Dai that you two will scold him in private."

Wicked people still need to be grinded by wicked people. Although these two guys are now like devils who have entered the village, they still have no temper in front of Lao Dai's hob meat.

And as long as Lao Dai is given a reason to do something, even if the two of them privately praise Lao Dai as the savior, they can't escape Lao Dai's search.

Fan Ming confessed first:
"Just kidding, look at you, why are you still working hard? You go to our No. 11 floor and eat as much steamed buns as you want, just enough!"

The corner of Jin Shangwen's mouth twitched, he couldn't even bear to invite the mutton from the water basin, so don't be extravagant.

Ning Yiheng finished the goose palm in two or three mouthfuls, and took the initiative to change the topic:
"Don't you want to make Three Cups of Chicken? Why don't you start now, when Lao Dai and Lao Xie come later, it's easy to snatch the camera away because of the noise."

Whether to talk or not, as for Lao Xie and Lao Dai's flamboyant remarks from time to time, it is indeed easy to become the focus of the audience.

In order to prevent himself from becoming a supporting role from a leading role, Jin Shangwen didn't care about the spicy stew in the kitchen anymore, and led a few people to a small kitchen not far away.

This kitchen is used for cooking small pot meals for the leaders and foreign guests staying here. When there are no foreign affairs, the kitchen is always empty, so Lao Jin regards it as a workshop for shooting food tutorials.

It is said to be a workshop, but in fact it has set up several fill lights and a fixed camera position made of two tripods.

This is also the reason for the simplicity of his video footage.

As soon as Hao Qingfeng came in, he pointed to the ceiling and said:
"The fill light should be placed higher, so that it will not shine directly on the person, and the light will be softer when shooting. There should be a place to hang the camera above the chopping board and the stove, so that the angle directly above can be photographed...the angle of the camera should be more Some, it will be more handy to edit in this way.”

Professional is professional, pointing out the shortcomings of the shooting venue.

In fact, if you refer to the small kitchen of Lin Kee Food or the shooting scene specially designed by Joy Media, you can have a new understanding of the layout of the shooting equipment.

Jin Shangwen's equipment here is not lacking, but he can't arrange it.

He took out all the new fill lights, and Hao Qingfeng immediately started tidying up. With Lin Xu's help, the equipment was rearranged in less than 10 minutes.

Fan Ming asked:

"Let's start now? Are the ingredients ready, Lao Jin?"

"There is no need to prepare for this stuff, it can be done at any time."

Jin Shangwen brought a slaughtered three-yellow chicken, and prepared a cup of light soy sauce, a cup of lard, a cup of sweet rice wine, plus a piece of ginger, a few green and red hot peppers, and the ingredients for making Sancup chicken were ready.

From this point of view, the practice of Three Cup Chicken is really easy.

Now that everything was ready, Lin Xu changed into his chef uniform, washed his hands carefully, and stood in front of the camera with Jin Shangwen.

Hao Qingfeng operates the camera:

"Then shall we begin?"

"start!"

Hearing Lin Xu's words, he pressed the camera's record button.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lao Jin. Today I'm going to teach you how to make a very famous dish in Jiangxi, called Three Cup Chicken. Before making it, let me introduce the distinguished guests who came to my workshop today. Brother Lin Xu, welcome!"

Lin Xu waved his hand at the camera:

"Hi everyone, I'm Lin Xu. My wife suddenly wants to eat Jiangxi cuisine recently, so I have the cheek to learn from Chef Jin... There are many Jiangxi dishes, but the most famous one even has many fans abroad. The dish is Three Cup Chicken, today let’s listen to Chef Jin’s explanation of the past and present of the Three Cup Chicken dish.”

Today it was set up for Jin Shangwen, so Lin Xu did not take the lead, but kept relying on Jin Shangwen.

Lao Jin naturally knew that while introducing the ingredients, he also introduced the allusion of Three Cup Chicken.

The allusion is very simple, it is nothing more than some gourmet stories that catch the popularity of celebrities, telling it now is just to deepen the cultural heritage of this dish.

Jin Shangwen said while telling the story:
"Three-cup chicken is generally made with three-yellow chicken. The meat is tender and easy to cook, tender and juicy, but it is best to use free-range three-yellow chicken. This kind of chicken tastes better and tastes more delicious."

Three-cup chicken pays attention to stewing the meat without adding a drop of water. If the meat is firmer, it will be difficult to cook it well, so we choose the tender and juicy three-yellow chicken.

In addition to the chicken, Jin Shangwen talked about the three cups of seasoning.

"The seasoning of Jiangxi Three Cup Chicken is mainly a cup of light soy sauce, a cup of sweet rice wine or low-alcohol rice wine, and the last cup is lard. The ingredients are ginger and green and red peppers that Jiangxi people can't live without."

When matching dishes in other places, green and red peppers are generally used for color matching.

But Jiangxi has a unique style. It directly uses green and red hot peppers instead. While matching the color, it will also provide a lot of spiciness, making the dishes more delicious when served with rice.

Lin Xu really wanted to know, Jiangxi and Guangdong are separated by a mountain, why is one addicted to spicy food, while the other dare not eat spicy food at all?

After introducing the dishes, Jin Shangwen began to change the knife.

He first rubs the chicken with salt to remove impurities from the pores, and then rinses it with cold water.

Wipe off the moisture on the surface, cut the whole chicken into pieces, and said while cutting:
"The traditional method is to cut into pieces directly, but the three-cup chicken used in the state banquet is all boneless, without the chicken head, chicken feet, chicken neck, chicken wing tips and other parts."

The state banquet is more particular, so the chicken needs special treatment.

But since it is a traditional practice today, it is natural to follow the old practice.

He cut the chicken into mahjong pieces, and when he cut the neck of the chicken, he deliberately cleaned the lymph nodes inside, so that he could eat healthier.

Cut the chicken pieces and set aside, then slice the ginger and green and red hot peppers into slices.

After everything was ready, Jin Shangwen brought a casserole and prepared to make it.

Lin Xu asked:

"I thought it was a wok, but I didn't expect Three Cup Chicken to be a casserole, which is a bit similar to Guangdong's raw baked dishes and jelly pot."

Jin Shangwen nodded with a smile:
"Yes, the approach is indeed very similar."

He put the casserole on the stove, added lard, heated it, poured the chicken into it, and fried it on high heat.

He told Lin Xu the technical essentials:
"The first step is to fry the chicken with lard until the surface is browned, so that the chicken is more tender and juicy, and it tastes better. It can also fry the chicken oil, and the umami taste of the chicken will naturally come out gone."

The umami of chicken is generally in the fat, so many chicken dishes will deliberately add some chicken oil to increase the umami.

Three cups of chicken takes advantage of this and fry the chicken in oil, so that the chicken will not taste greasy and the flavor will become more intense.

The three-yellow chicken has a lot of water, so the frying step is a bit long.

Lin Xu felt that the chicken would be half-cooked by the time it was fried, which was why it could be stewed with a cup of soy sauce and a cup of sweet rice wine.

It is already half-cooked, so if you cover it and bake it for a while, it will be completely cooked.

A few minutes later, Jin Shangwen turned the chicken over with a bamboo spatula, and Lin Xu saw that the chicken at the bottom had been fried until it was burnt brown and exuded a delicious aroma.

I have to say that when it comes to making chicken, lard must be used, which is fragrant and fresh, and the combination is just right.

Continue to fry, and when all the chicken is almost browned, put the ginger slices in and fry for a while to get the water out of the ginger.

Then pour the soy sauce along the side of the pot.

Cook the unique soy aroma of soy sauce, and stir quickly at the same time, so that the aroma can penetrate into the chicken.

The aroma of soy sauce is very strong and it smells delicious.

When the smell is almost gone, pour the sweet wine into the pot, and the peculiar smell of the chicken will evaporate with the alcohol, so that it tastes more fragrant, tender and delicious.

Next, put the lid on the pot and say that it is braised. In fact, this step is the roasting or stewing in Cantonese cuisine.

Lin Xu looked at the camera and began to summarize:

"Up to now, I can see it clearly. The first is to use three yellow chickens, the second is to use a casserole, the third is not to blanch the chicken, and the fourth is to fry the meat before adding ginger. The ginger smells and then pours soy sauce. …Three cups of chicken may seem simple, but I didn’t expect it to have so many details.”

Jin Shangwen said with a smile:

"The simpler the seasoning, the more particular the dishes are. Brother Lin summed it up very well, but it's very important not to blanch them."

Fresh meat doesn't need to be blanched, it's brought by those half-cooked Internet celebrities, don't care about the meat, it's served by blanching with onion and ginger cooking wine.

This kind of craftsmanship is useless even if it is given some high-end ingredients.

The chicken in the pot was stewed for about six to seven minutes. Jin Shangwen opened the lid, put the green and red hot peppers that had been cut before, and then carefully turned the chicken in the pot with a spatula, turning the peppers to the bottom by the way.

Stew for another five or six minutes, and this delicious three-cup chicken dish is officially completed.

When Jin Shangwen opened the lid of the pot, Hao Qingfeng leaned over with the camera and took pictures of the pot.

The steam mixed with the delicious smell floated out of the pot, and the chicken inside had turned a ruddy color. Turn it over with a spoon, and the thick soup at the bottom of the pot hangs on the chicken, which looks very attractive.

Lin Xu swallowed, really tempted by the chicken.

Jin Shangwen said:
"If we follow the desktop method, we should put a few nine-story pagodas now, but this is not the traditional method in Jiangxi. Putting more green and red peppers is more effective than anything else."

He carried the casserole from the stove to the workbench, and stirred it twice with a spatula, asking Hao Qingfeng to take more close-ups.

For hometown food, it needs more publicity.

After Hao Qingfeng finished filming, Jin Shangwen rushed to Lin Xu and said:
"Brother, come and check for the netizens, and taste the taste of these three cups of chicken."

Lin Xu picked up the chopsticks with a smile:

"Just wait for Brother Jin's words."

He picked up a piece of chicken thigh and blew on it, then put it in his mouth.

As soon as you eat it, you can taste the richness of the fat and the tenderness of the chicken. In addition, there is also a spicy taste mixed in the chicken. Although it is used for color matching, the spiciness of the green and red peppers is still quite overbearing.

"How about Brother Lin? Is the taste okay?"

Lin Xu gave a thumbs up and said:
"It's super delicious, super delicious... By the way, do you have rice? Hurry up and get me a bowl. Such a delicious dish must be eaten with rice to be enjoyable!"
