Chapter 531 The most famous dish
"Eighth uncle is here, come in and sit down.

Master Chu, who has been admiring his name for a long time, has always wanted to talk about visiting Sichuan, but unfortunately he didn't find the opportunity. He must have a few more drinks when he comes today. "

As soon as Lao Ba led everyone to the entrance of the store, he saw a thin young man coming out of the store and greeted him warmly.

"This is my nephew, Chen Quanhai, who is also the owner of this shop. Let's try his craftsmanship today."

Lao Ba introduced everyone and was welcomed in by the enthusiastic Chen Quanhai.

The restaurant is quite unique. It is divided into a front hall and a backyard. At this time, there were many people dining in the front hall. Chen Quanhai took everyone to the backyard.

"You guys sit down for a while, taste the fruits from our Hainan side, and drink tea while I go to the kitchen to cook.

Well, Master Chu, do you want to come to the kitchen and give me some advice? "

Chen Quanhai invited everyone to taste the fruits on the table. There were many people on this table, making everyone feel Chen Quanhai's enthusiasm.

Yellow peel, banana, mangosteen, jackfruit, coconut, star fruit, these are the fresh fruits of the month, which shows the abundance of fruits in Hainan.

"I can't take it seriously. I heard that you are going to make two very hot chicken dishes tonight. Let me go and learn."

On the way here, Chu Yunfeng heard from Lao Ba that Chen Quanhai specially bought Wenchang chicken and planned to make two famous Hainanese dishes for everyone to try.

Wenchang chicken is Hainan's number one delicacy. Chu Yunfeng has heard of the name of this chicken a long time ago, and has longed for its taste and texture.

So even if Chen Quanhai didn't mention it, he would still go to the kitchen to take a look.

"Oh, Master Chu is so humble. Let's go and let them eat fruit and chat here. We chefs will go to the kitchen and chat about us."

Chen Quanhai felt Chu Yunfeng's humility and became more familiar with Chu Yunfeng. He thought Chu Yunfeng might be a bit arrogant, but he didn't expect that he was quite easy to get along with.

"Is this Wenchang chicken?"

Chu Yunfeng saw four prepared chickens on the table, and he noticed the difference of these chickens at first sight.

"Yes, this is Wenchang chicken. Is it very different from the silky chicken you usually use, Master Chu?"

Chen Haiquan's words revealed something unusual. It seemed that he was also very concerned about Chu Yunfeng, and actually knew about Chu Yunfeng's "royal" chicken.

"It's really different. Silky chicken has a big frame and long legs. This Wenchang chicken looks much smaller. Not to mention its short neck and feet, its feet and fingers are smaller."

This was the difference that Chu Yunfeng discovered from the appearance of Wenchang Chicken. After practicing the Nine Gale Swordsmanship, Chu Yunfeng had a deep understanding of the bones and body shape of chickens.

Just like a surgeon who is so familiar with the human skeleton, some subtle differences cannot be hidden from his sharp eyes.

"So our Wenchang chickens in Hainan don't grow very big. Nowadays, many people use Sanhuang chickens to pass themselves off as Wenchang chickens. Those who know a little can tell the difference from the length of the feet and toes."

Chen Quanhai knows that there are many people selling Sanhuang chicken as Wenchang chicken on the Internet, which has ruined the reputation of Wenchang chicken to a great extent.

"The quality of the meat is good. The chicken skin feels loose when pinched, but it is thick, and the breast is quite thin, not as thick as other chickens.

This type of chicken is best suited for plain-cut chicken. "

Chu Yunfeng revealed the characteristics of this Wenchang chicken just by touching it casually, and Chen Quanhai opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Master Chu, have you seen Wenchang chicken before, or tasted it?"

Chen Quanhai couldn't believe it. After Chu Yunfeng washed his hands, he touched it gently, then pinched it again, and described the characteristics of Wenchang chicken accurately.

"No, this is the first time I've seen him. He is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Chu Yunfeng didn't realize there was anything wrong, but Chen Haiquan was shocked by what he inadvertently revealed.

If you are not familiar with Wenchang chicken, how can you know so many secrets just by "feeling" it?

"Awesome, awesome. It seems that Master Chu really has extraordinary abilities. Today is an eye-opener."

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's sincere eyes, Chen Haiquan believed Chu Yunfeng's words. It must be the first time for him to see Wenchang Chicken, and his comments were based on his own experience and cooking skills.

"It's okay, what are these two chickens going to do today, I'm here to learn."

Chu Yunfeng didn't feel that his skills were that extraordinary, it was just that he had dealt with them a lot and had experience.

"One is for coconut chicken, and the other is for white-cut chicken, but how about we make one for the dipping sauce for white-cut chicken?"

The two recipes mentioned by Chen Haiquan made Chu Yunfeng very interested. This white-cut chicken should be the most authentic recipe of Wenchang chicken.

Only in this way can we taste the characteristics of Wenchang chicken with elastic skin, soft and glutinous meat, and rich juice, and feel the deliciousness of chicken more intuitively.

Chen Haiquan's last suggestion surprised Chu Yunfeng. Dip?
Is the dipping sauce he makes different, or does he want to make his own dipping sauce with Sichuan characteristics?

"Okay, I'll try it later. By the way, is there any red oil?"

Since Chen Quanhai strongly invited him, it was hard for him to refuse, and since Chen Haiquan had this intention, he must let himself make a spicy dip unique to Sichuan.

"Yes, over there, see if it works."

Chen Quanhai's words made Chu Yunfeng's eyes brighten. He just asked casually and planned to accept no answer, but he didn't expect the answer to be yes?
Chu Yunfeng glanced in the direction of Chen Quanhai's finger. There was actually red oil on the table where the condiments were placed, and Chu Yunfeng was more surprised than that.

When I walked forward, I discovered that I thought it was just a small bottle, but who would have thought that the red oil actually filled a stainless steel basin?
Picking up the spoon inside and scooping out a spoonful, Chu Yunfeng looked at Chen Quanhai in surprise and felt a little puzzled.

If I hadn't been in Hainan, I would have thought I was back in Sichuan. I was working as a chef in a local Sichuan restaurant.

This red oil is made very well. Both in terms of color and fragrance, it is considered to be top quality. In particular, the production of this red oil is a compound red oil, which is specially used for cold dishes.

Maybe other chefs can't tell the difference by smelling the aroma. They only know the type and preparation of red oil after tasting it.

But it couldn't be hidden from Chu Yunfeng's keen nose. As soon as he smelled the fragrance and the chili pepper in it, he knew the details of it by looking at the color.

But I heard from Wu Ma that the red oil she made was only an entry-level one, which made me a little depressed. The red oil made with such a complicated technique was only passing?
Under his own questioning, Wu Ma said that if she really wanted to score the product, it would be 70 points. This made Chu Yunfeng realize that there are many areas where this red oil can be improved.

But who can make this red oil perfect?
"Let's start cooking. Let's make coconut chicken first."

Chen Quanhai's words brought Chu Yunfeng, who had been deep in thought for a while, back to calm down. Chu Yunfeng stepped forward to see what the characteristics of these two dishes were.
