Chapter two hundred and seventy: oily chicken

The next day, the Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace.

Right above the main hall, the current emperor is already sitting on the golden hall, and the Empress Dowager is sitting next to him.

On both sides, there are chefs such as Zhu Yuan and Longman, and even the retired Master Longman is here.

In addition, there are officials such as Admiral Li.

Outside the main hall, Yukihira Sōma, Nakiri Erina, Yakan, Liu Angxing and many other chefs have also been waiting here.

In the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Tong Yu and Jiu Lufa are ready in front of two makeshift cooking stations.

All around, officers and soldiers in yellow clothes can be seen waiting here to protect the safety in case someone makes trouble.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Yuan came to the emperor and the Queen Mother and said, “The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, you are almost ready, do you want to let the game begin?”

After hearing this, the emperor looked at the Empress Dowager on the side, and asked in a tone of asking for instructions: “Empress Dowager, do you want the game to start now?”

“Well, let’s start.”

“Since it’s the Queen Mother’s birthday, it’s up to you to designate the theme of the final game. Just say 317 what you want to eat.”

After thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother said: “Yesterday, the Ai family has eaten a lot of delicious dishes, and this time it is up to you to decide.”

The emperor was not a long-winded person either. After thinking for a while, he stood up and came to face Ao Lufa and Tong Yu below. Taste, eat too much and get tired. So, I also want to change my appetite.

Having said this, the emperor paused and said: “Well, Lian suddenly wanted to eat a Cantonese dish recently. Lian had eaten this dish once decades ago, in a small restaurant. At that time, the skin turned into a commoner, and the chef did not I know my identity, but the chef cooked this dish is quite delicious, I can’t forget it to this day. After returning to the palace, I also let the dragon chefs make it once

But it never tasted like that. ”

After saying this, Zhu Yuan and other Chef Long couldn’t hang their faces.

The cooking cooked by the dignified chef is no better than the cooking cooked by an unknown chef.

The emperor is also a shrewd person, and immediately said: “The taste is very unique, it is not that the dragon chef is not skilled, it should be that the chef used special ingredients or unknown techniques.

Upon hearing this, Tong Yu stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Excuse me, Your Majesty, what is the name of the dish you are talking about.

“Fried chicken.”

The emperor said the dish that he had been thinking about ten years ago, and said: “This dish is not a palace dish, even an ordinary family can cook it, but the taste will be different. Therefore, I ask you to cook this dish. .But there are a lot of people who are here today, so the second request is for 50 people.”

Oil-drenched chicken is a traditional Cantonese dish.

It belongs to Cantonese cuisine, the main ingredient is chicken, and the main cooking technique is oil dipping.

Oil dipping is a special frying method in cooking technology, which is suitable for fresh and tender raw materials.

Therefore, the characteristics of this dish are fresh, smooth and tender. In some places, green pepper and rattan pepper oil are added to increase the “numb” taste.

Actually “it’s oily chicken, this is Guangzhou cuisine.”

For the dish of oily chicken, the people from Guangzhou and the second class know the best.

What does “Master, oily” mean?” Shiro asked Liu Angxing.

Liu Subaru explained: “Mu” means to wash. “Drinking in oil is a cooking method in which oil is poured over meat to fry.”

“That’s right, cut the right fried whole chicken into large pieces, add sweet vinegar and soy sauce, add minced ginger, minced green onion, minced garlic and sesame oil (ccee) to make the sauce, spit it out and pour it on. But it’s a famous Cantonese dish~~Mei Li.” After speaking, he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

This dish can be said to be the favorite of ordinary people in Guangzhou. Because of its simple method and good taste, it is deeply loved by many people.

I thought it was going to be the same as yesterday, with a very special or unseen cooking showdown theme, but I didn’t expect it to be oily chicken!” Gangbang Jie said slowly, somewhat surprised.

Ji Di also said: “Although the oil-sprinkled chicken originated in Guangzhou, it belongs to Cantonese cuisine. But the practices are similar to other places, and there are different practices in Sichuan, Fujian, and even in the north. Over time, even in Guangzhou, there are alternative practices. .

“Master Jidi means that the oily chicken that His Majesty ate ten years ago was an improvement on the basis of tradition?” Liu Angxing asked.

Ji Di nodded: “Well, it’s very likely to be the case. If it is a traditional method, there is no reason why it can’t be done with the cooking skills of the dragon chefs.”

In this way, “Speaking of which, Jiao Lufa and Tong Yu have to use their imaginations, right?”

Saying that, everyone turned their attention to the two people in front of the cooking table in the middle of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Tong Yu lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about how to cook.

Because Jiao Lufa was wearing a mask, he didn’t know what expression he had under the mask.

Zhu Yuan walked down from the Hall of Supreme Harmony and came to a giant cauldron.

There are three pillars of incense with a diameter of about 2 cm in the bronze giant tripod.

“Before all the three incense sticks are burned, please cook the oil-drenched chicken for 50 people on both sides, then start now!” Zhu Yuan announced.

With an order, it means the start of the game.

Whether it is Tong Yu or Jiu Lufa, or the onlookers Jidi, Liu Angxing and others, no matter how the oil-sprinkled chicken is improved, the meat quality of the chicken is very important, and it can be said that it occupies an absolute leading role.

The meat of the chicken is good enough to be eligible to talk about taste and improvement.

In today’s world, there are many types of chicken.

In China alone, there are a variety of chickens, and the meat quality will vary to some extent.

For example, the “Pudong Chicken” of Shanghai Pudong Chicken, Shandong Shouguang Chicken, Zhejiang Xiaoshan Chicken, etc., each region has its own special chicken.

According to the variety, there are many varieties of chickens, such as guinea fowl, bearded chicken, imperial concubine chicken, three yellow chicken and so on.

“What to choose.” Tong Yuyu muttered to himself.

But just when Tong Yu hesitated, saving Lufa and his assistants had already acted.

“Come on, Jiao Lufa is about to start cooking, what kind of chicken did he choose?”

A group of people looked curiously and found that the type of chicken Lufa chose was actually Hetian chicken!
