gourmet food

Chapter 1325 The capital first shows its power

At first, there was nothing commendable about Chu Yunfeng's operation. For example, the Xuanwei ham was steamed in a pot with a knife, the pork belly was blanched, etc. There was nothing special about it at all.

And when Chu Yunfeng added the chopped front leg meat and fat meat yesterday, water chestnuts, etc. to make meatballs, and after frying them, he picked up the pork belly, colored it with sugar, pricked it with needles, and fried it.
This made Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu feel that there was nothing extraordinary. The ingredients were all very ordinary, and the processing methods were not very novel. Wouldn't this advance arrangement be too cautious?

He also said that there would be a big fuss, but it doesn’t look like it?
But when Chu Yunfeng then poured oil, sauteed onions and ginger until fragrant, he poured the chicken soup cooked last night into the wine jar that was said to have been stored for 30 years, and then threw in a series of spices.

Then put the processed pork belly, pork knuckles, chicken shanks and duck thighs into it, wrap the mouth of the jar with a dried lotus leaf, and finally cover it tightly with the lid.

Then Chu Yunfeng began to take out the ingredients that had been processed yesterday and continue to prepare them. The configuration of some spices and some dishes that needed to be steamed were all processed one by one.

Minister Wang raised his hand and looked at the time. It was 05:30 in the morning. When he saw that the huge wine jar was starting to simmer, and there was no so-called abnormality, the tension he had been feeling relaxed immediately. a lot.

After yawning, even Section Chief Yu was affected and yawned again. Both of them felt a little sleepy.

"Do you think this thing is really as exaggerated as in the legend?"

In order to relieve his sleepiness, Minister Wang started to find a topic, and after Section Chief Yu thought for a while, he replied uncertainly: "It's hard to say, I think there should be some, right? Otherwise, Minister Jin wouldn't care so much. and serious.

And I have watched the two videos of making this dish in Rongcheng and Thailand, especially the one in Thailand, the smoke from this jar rose into the sky as if it was real.

Many netizens commented that this was a super manifestation of the scent, indicating that the scent was beyond the ordinary. However, some people still didn't believe it and thought it was a special effect.

However, many people also uploaded the reactions of Thai locals when they smelled the aroma, and the chaos on the streets, so the credibility is still relatively high. "

Minister Wang has naturally watched this video in advance, but as Section Chief Yu said, after watching it, he was also dubious. After all, as a materialist, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you will naturally remain skeptical.

"Let's take a look, but I'm a little conflicted in my heart. I hope it's very powerful, but I also hope it's not too big. If something goes wrong, we can't explain it!"

Minister Wang's worries are not superfluous. Although a notice has been issued to everyone yesterday, it seems that many people inside don't take it seriously.

But when I came here this morning, there were many traffic officers on this street, which shows that the higher authorities still attach great importance to it, and we will look at the performance of this wine jar for a while.

Last night I was worried about today's cooking, so I couldn't sleep well. In addition, I got up early. Minister Wang sat on this chair, and his eyelids gradually began to fight.

And Chu Yunfeng's ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong sound could not affect the two people's gradual sleepiness. Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

The time was fixed at five minutes past six in the morning. Chu Yunfeng had already prepared two baskets of steamed vegetables. He turned around and looked at the situation on the wine jar. There was already white smoke coming from the small gap. seeped out.

The wisps slowly rose up, giving it a misty and ethereal artistic conception, and Chu Yunfeng was sure that in another hour, the kitchen would be completely enveloped by the smoke.

By then, it is estimated that many people will not be able to stay here anymore. As the fragrance becomes stronger, the visibility inside will probably be reduced a lot.

But there is nothing I can do about it. I applied yesterday to ask if I could set up a temporary stove in the open space outside the kitchen when it's time to simmer.

This proposal was immediately rejected by Minister Wang, saying that all dishes that needed to be produced must be prepared in the kitchen of the state banquet, and this rigid rule could not be deviated from.

The kitchen has strict and standardized management, and there is also monitoring. The verification of dishes and production requirements are all systematic and standardized, so setting up a stove outside is not a matter of course.

In the end, Chu Yunfeng didn't "persist" anymore, and "helplessly" put the wine jar on the back kitchen stand, waiting to see what Minister Wang and the others would do with it.

At the same time, I also wanted to see how Minister Wang and the others would solve this problem with a little bit of bad taste when they came back later.
Seeing Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu resting their heads over there, Chu Yunfeng chuckled and continued to deal with today's dishes.

Huh~!

Not long after, Minister Wang was still dreaming in his daze. Suddenly, a large table of delicious food appeared in his dream. Every dish was exquisite, and all of them were big meals.

This made Minister Wang, who had not eaten anything since he woke up early in the morning and felt a little hungry, immediately became greedy, and saliva began to flow from the corner of his mouth unconsciously without even realizing it.

Section Chief Yu didn't know what he dreamed of, just like Minister Wang, the same scene appeared at the corner of his mouth, probably he also dreamed of food.

But after another 2 minutes, Minister Wang suddenly felt that his nose was itchy, as if something was "stroking" his nose gently and tenderly.

Well, it felt very comfortable, with a very warm feeling. Then my nose inadvertently breathed in it twice, and I suddenly felt that my whole lungs were filled with a magical aroma.

uh~?

He had been sleeping a little earlier, but after a slight movement, his head slipped off the supporting hand, which instantly shattered Minister Wang's dream.

Huh~?

dreaming?
Hey, what a pity. I just dreamed of so many delicious foods, and I didn’t seem to have eaten enough. Why did I wake up from my dream?
and many more!

How can it be so fragrant?

Are you still dreaming?
Seeing that Section Chief Yu next to him was still supporting his head very firmly, and the drool remaining at the corner of his mouth, Minister Wang couldn't help but want to laugh.

However, I touched the corner of my mouth and found that it was there, so I quickly wiped it with a paper and prepared to squint again. Maybe this big meal is back again?

But Minister Wang soon discovered something was wrong. His nose smelled a very different aroma. This aroma made his stomach growl.

"What kind of scent is this?"

The conditioned reflex was a bit strong, and Minister Wang stood up suddenly, and the chair made a sound of rubbing against the ground. Naturally, this movement immediately woke up Section Chief Yu.

"What, what's wrong, what happened?"

In a daze, Section Chief Yu was still a little confused the moment he opened his eyes when he heard Minister Wang's "call", so his reaction made people feel a little panicked.

"what is that?"

Turning his head to look, Minister Wang suddenly saw cloud after cloud of white smoke lingering above the wine jar. Circle slowly.

What's happening here?
Minister Wang knew that he was definitely not dreaming at this moment, so he pushed his chair back with his feet and hurried forward to check.

At this time, the kitchen at the back of the state banquet was gradually getting a bit smoky. Section Chief Yu rubbed his confused eyes, and looked at the figure of Minister Wang "sprinting" past, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

When Section Chief Yu walked over quickly, he found that Minister Wang had already begun to "study" the smoke.

I saw Minister Wang fanning the white smoke rising from the top of the wine jar towards himself with his hand, and then sniffed hard with his nose.

Looking over again, Minister Wang had begun to close his eyes and enjoy it, which made Section Chief Yu follow suit and take a delicious "taste".

"It smells so good. Isn't the fragrance a bit too strong?"

While Section Chief Yu was still enjoying himself, he suddenly heard Minister Wang's stomach growling. Before he could smile secretly in his heart, his own stomach also growled.

And the voice was louder than Minister Wang's, which made the two of them open their eyes immediately, and after looking at each other, they both felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm a little hungry. Why hasn't the master on duty come yet?"

Minister Wang was now hungry due to the aroma, and wanted to eat breakfast quickly. He was guarded here and couldn't go out, and Chu Yunfeng was so busy there that he couldn't be counted on at all.

Section Chief Yu looked at his watch and replied helplessly: "It's not even 06:30 now. The masters will not arrive for at least another hour."

hiss~!

When he thought that he would be hungry for more than an hour, Minister Wang felt as if the sky was about to collapse. It seemed that he had never been so hungry in the morning. This was a bit uncomfortable!
I looked at Chu Yunfeng who was busy over there, but in the smoke, I could only see a hazy figure, and I couldn't see clearly what he was doing.

At this moment, the two of them seemed to see Chu Yunfeng walking towards them. Before they got closer, they heard Chu Yunfeng's heavenly voice: "Minister Wang, Section Chief Yu, are you hungry? First Let’s have some breakfast!”

After Chu Yunfeng appeared with two baskets of steamed buns, Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu were pleasantly surprised.

"That's great, Xiao Chu, you are so considerate, I'm so hungry!"

"Thank you, thank you. I'm very hungry now, but my stomach won't protest now!"

After the two thanked them, they quickly took it from Chu Yunfeng, then immediately went to find two plates and poured some vinegar into them.

Chu Yunfeng nodded and continued to do his own things. He also ate the buns. After all, he had to maintain his physical strength today.

After a while, the aroma became stronger, even if Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu felt hungry again, they didn't want to eat anything. Chu Yunfeng still took care of them and didn't want them to "suffer" later. .

This is a northern way of eating steamed buns dipped in vinegar. Another way to eat them is with soy milk. However, there is no soy milk today, so dipping them in vinegar is also very good.

After taking a bite, Minister Wang immediately gave a thumbs up. These must be mushroom steamed buns. I had long heard that Chu Yunfeng made these steamed buns very well.

Section Chief Yu was too lazy to say anything. He nodded repeatedly to express his excitement and ate much faster than Minister Wang.

There were twelve buns in this steamer, which was naturally enough. After eating them all, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the white smoke that was gathering more and more on the roof, and the vortex was getting bigger and bigger, which surprised Minister Wang so much that he couldn't speak.

After taking photos and videos, Minister Wang realized that the visibility of the kitchen seemed to be getting lower and lower, so he quickly discussed it with Section Chief Yu.

"Let's turn on the exhaust fan as soon as possible. If the thick white smoke doesn't go out, we won't be able to see anything in the back kitchen later!"

Section Chief Yu nodded happily and said: "The minister said yes, I will open it right away!"

After the exhaust fan started rumbling, I immediately saw that the white smoke on the roof was being vigorously extracted, and even the vortex began to gradually disappear.

Whoo~!

Seeing the kitchen gradually returning to "clear", Minister Wang was relieved, but he saw Chu Yunfeng starting to walk towards the big wine jar.

What is he going to do?
Chu Yunfeng walked over and opened the lid of the wine jar with his gloved hands.

There was a "boom", as if the jar was still under pressure, a thick and huge white smoke shot up into the sky, it looked like a spectacle.

This white smoke seemed to be extremely strong. Even with the presence of an exhaust fan, it took nearly a minute for it to dissipate, leaving Minister Wang and Section Chief Yu stunned.

Mamma Mia, is this cooking or performing magic?

After taking out the chicken legs and duck legs, Chu Yunfeng continued to seal the mouth of the altar with lotus leaves, then put the lid on, turned the fire to a low fire and continued to stew.

After the exhaust fan started to work, the aroma in the back kitchen began to gradually spread out, and gradually, the area around the back kitchen of the state banquet began to appear strange.

Many people who were still sleeping at home suddenly woke up, and then smelled a very strong aroma, which made them feel hungry.

"Oh my God, who is making delicious food here? Isn't it so delicious?"

"What does this smell like? What kind of food is it? Why does it smell so fragrant? Why have I never smelled such a fragrance before?"

"Oh no, no, no, this fragrance can cure my bedridden problem. I have to get up quickly and have breakfast!"

"Oh my God, this doesn't allow people to have a good sleep? Don't you know how hard it is to go to work? Can't you even sleep a little longer?"

"I love it, I love it. This must be a restaurant that has delicious food. I have to wash up quickly and go to the street to find it. I must try it today!"

Such scenes have already begun to appear one after another in the surrounding area of ​​one kilometer. Many people who were about to enter the snack bar for breakfast suddenly stopped in their tracks.

After everyone suddenly inhaled the fragrance in the air, they began to look around, hoping to find the source of the fragrance immediately.

Some people who have already been eating breakfast feel the most depressed. The breakfast that is half eaten or just started suddenly doesn't taste good, and it seems to taste tasteless in the mouth?

As a result, many people feel extremely depressed. It would be a waste not to eat, and they suddenly lose their appetite after eating. In the end, there is really no choice but to pack it up and take it away to see what kind of fragrance it is. Somewhat unable to extricate yourself?
The most depressed person was probably Zhang Xinran. At this time, she had already begun to enter the kitchen area. The breakfast in her hand made her want to cry.

On the other side, Minister Jin had just gone out to have breakfast when he unexpectedly encountered an uninvited guest.
