Yunmeng Ballad: I opened a restaurant in the Warring States Period

Chapter 49 Sour Chicken Feet

Listening to these satisfied comments, Chu Yunmeng, a pure foodie, also showed a satisfied expression.

This is the charm of food.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, regardless of beauty or ugliness, regardless of good or evil, in front of delicious food with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste, the heart of a foodie is completely surrendered to the stomach.The past and the future, grievances, hatred, love, hate, anger, and ignorance, all have to be left behind.

This is the real reason why she loves to eat and cook.

Only in the process of eating can she truly let go of who she is; and only in the process of cooking food can she immerse herself in joy and completely forget to explore who she is.

It was also because of this pure satisfaction and joy that she was not immersed in the compliments of the diners, but was trying her best to make Yunmengju, which was praised by the diners, more worthy of its name.

Now that the rice vinegar can be fully used, she wants to continue to make a fuss about this sour word.

Recently, there are a lot of people ordering four-treasure stewed chicken. Wu Gu, Ah Yue, and Ah Yun have to slaughter more than a dozen live chickens every day.

"Wu Gu, you block it from there, don't let this chicken fly over!" Ah Yue directed Wu Gu at the door of the back kitchen to cooperate with her.

Wu Gu quickly blocked the door with his back, and caught the chicken flying towards the door.

He threw the chicken into Ah Yue's arms: "Hold it! You kill it, I catch it, and we will pluck the feathers and clean the internal organs together later!"

After finishing speaking, he slid to the side of another chicken that wanted to escape like a loach, stretched out his hand to copy it, and caught it.

Just like this, Wugu quickly caught the chicken, joined Ah Yue, and began to pluck, peel, and disembowel the chicken.

Seeing Wugu, Ah Yue, and Ah Yun being extremely busy, Chu Yunmeng suddenly had an idea.

It's better to use waste and make a hot and sour mint chicken feet.

Chu Yunmeng has always had a strange habit of cooking.

For the sake of purity and taste, she will try her best to remove anything that may affect the final taste of the dish.

The stewed chicken with four treasures needs the chicken and its essence and blood itself to bring out the fragrance, so she will ask Wugu and Ah Yue to kill the chicken without seeing the blood—the internal organs must be thrown away, but the chicken must not be bled.For other redundant parts, such as chicken heads, chicken feet, and chicken buttocks, she asked to chop off all of them.

Although I used to use chicken feet for occasional cooking, but firstly, the quantity is small, and secondly, there are only salt and dogwood powder, and the taste is average without any splash.

She hurriedly ordered Wugu and the others to keep the chicken feet, and at the same time ordered Ah Tian to go to Nanshi to purchase a large amount of chicken feet, some of which were immediately used for cooking, and the rest were put in the cellar to freeze.

Chu Yunmeng ordered Wugu and others to wash the chicken feet, remove the nails and cut them in half.

After making preparations, blanch the chicken feet in boiling water to remove the fishy smell.Then put clean water in the tripod, and then pour the rice wine she found in cooperation with other distiller's koji workshops into the water, and at the same time pour rice vinegar, appropriate amount of salt, dogwood powder and mint juice.

At this time, pour the blanched chicken feet into the cauldron, and burn it on a medium-low heat; after simmering for a quarter of an hour, pick up half of the chicken feet and part of the soup, and pour them into the prepared copper basin, the most original hot and sour mint chicken feet it is done!
Seal it for another day, and it can be served to entertain diners at night!Crystal clear, full of gelatin, crispy, sour and fragrant, just thinking about it will make your mouth water.

It's a pity that there are not enough seasonings to fully restore the deliciousness of pickled pepper chicken feet in the dream world.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng couldn't help feeling regretful.

As for the remaining half of the chicken feet, it is reserved for diners who love soft texture.Put it out of the pot for a while longer in the tripod, and also seal it in the soup for a day, and it can be eaten at night.

Although the taste is different, the pleasure of Suofengjiao is the same.

Because of the shepherd's purse feast, and because of defeating the famous Yunmengju in Deyuelou a while ago, his fame has risen to a higher level.

More people came to Yunmengju to line up again, and the grand occasion was comparable to the day when the bean hoof was just out of the pot.

Looking at the crowds in Yunmeng Residence and Lihua Lane who were shouting and clamoring, Ah Tian felt his head was getting bigger.

"Fathers and folks, please line up along the courtyard wall of Yunmengju if you need to eat. Don't occupy the street and cause inconvenience to others."

Ah Tian put his hands together, put them in front of his mouth, and shouted over and over again: "Because of the limited space and manpower of Yunmengju, only [-] tables can be accepted every day. Folks who arrive late, please do not line up again, so as not to delay the meal. If necessary, Come back tomorrow!"

"They're all here for dinner. Why do we have to come back tomorrow if we're late? What if we're late in the queue tomorrow?"

Some people in the back were dissatisfied and shouted.

"Fathers and folks, thank you for your love for Yunmengju. It's just that the small shop has limited space and manpower, and can only accommodate [-] tables a day. I hope you can understand! If you force the reception, the taste and quality of the dishes will decline. Unpleasant, isn't it?"

Ah Tian still explained patiently.

"Stop talking nonsense! What if we come tomorrow, there are still so many people, and we still can't get in line?" Someone was still reluctant and wanted a solution.

Ah Tian thought for a while, and then quickly shouted to the crowd: "Now, I will issue number plates to everyone, according to the order in which everyone lined up, with the date and the corresponding number on it, this will be fair to everyone, will it work? "

What greeted Ah Tian was a long while of silence.After a while, seeing that there was really nothing to do, there were sparse echoes from the row of people at the back.

After Ah Tian distributed the number plates to all the people in line, he found that the people had already queued up three days later.

Some people who didn't want to wait simply paid [-] copper cloth coins to become regular diners and ordered a shepherd's purse feast.

After successfully solving the problem of too many diners, Ah Tian returned to the lobby to inspect.This tour, the whole person was stunned.

I saw that most of the diners in the seat had already finished the shepherd's purse feast, and almost everyone had a plate of sour chicken feet.

These people have completely disregarded their own image and abandoned their stupidity. They all directly grabbed the chicken feet with their hands and brought them to their mouths to gnaw them.

Affected by the irregular shape of chicken feet, not only their hands were covered with oil and soup, but their mouths were also covered with soup.Some people don't even care that their beards are covered in strands by the soup!

Ah Tian stared dumbfounded at the group of regular customers in the lobby who had lost their image and returned to their most primitive instincts, and was speechless for a long time.

It's just that the lobby was filled with the sound of gnawing, the sound of "cuckoo" swallowing, and the sound of "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".

He rushed into the back kitchen like a gust of wind, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

Chu Yunmeng saw that Ah Tian didn't speak for a long time, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, but what happened in the lobby?"

"Shop... shopkeeper, can you give me a sour chicken foot?"

　Continue to ask for collection, investment, and recommendation tickets.
