Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 794
c794 Two thousand and one taels of tea leaves to make tea-flavored chicken? Zeng Xiaoqi:
“Can you also make tea-flavored chicken?”
Zeng Xiaoqi’s face was full of surprise. Just now, she thought that the boss lady could only make biscuits and other pasta, but she didn’t expect that she could even make tea-flavored chicken. Do you want to learn from Boss Lin’s magic and martial arts skills?
Shen Jiayue said with a smile:
“No, but Xu Bao said that as long as there are tea leaves and chicken, everything else is secondary. He also said that you can just use a rice cooker to make it. I plan to learn it and make a tutorial for my fans.”
Since making moss biscuits by herself two days ago, netizens have finally discovered that the proprietress is no longer the vase who only records Dun Dun’s cuteness and Lin Xu’s cooking skills, but is really capable.
Although she relies on technology to make biscuits, using a dough mixer, a dough press, and an oven, just like a money-making boss in the game, money-making is also a skill.
Many people have dough mixers, dough presses and ovens at home, but when it’s meal time, they still subconsciously open the mobile app and order takeout.
But Shen Jiayue is guarding Lin Ji, but she is passionate about food.
This kind of spirit naturally makes many people like her. There are even people asking for tutorials in the comment area of her videos. In the past, everyone would just make fun of her.
The tea-flavored chicken I’m going to make today is actually what netizens ordered.
Shen Jiayue seriously asked Lin Xu how to do it, and when she learned that it was very simple, she agreed wholeheartedly.
Well, if it was very difficult, I would naturally pretend I didn’t see the comments, but since it’s so easy to make and just use a rice cooker, there’s nothing to hide.
Taking this job, let netizens see how to make this dish, and at the same time establish our chef Shen’s position in the cooking circle.
Hum, some people once said that my baby is a cute pet UP master, and some people said that my appearance is a UP master. In fact, I am an out-and-out gourmet UP master, and I can even be said to be a food tutorial UP master!
When Zeng Xiaoqi heard that it was very simple, she became excited:
“Really? Then I want to learn it too. What do you need for this dish? Apart from chicken and tea, there are no expensive ingredients, right?”
Although three meals a day are provided at Linji, if one day she secretly cooks them at home, Yuanyuan will be so excited that she calls her eldest sister.
Shen Jiayue was also very happy when she heard that she wanted to learn:
“The ingredients used are very simple. Just add some commonly used spices to the chicken and tea leaves. The chicken is usually three-yellow chicken or baby chicken. The tea leaves are only two thousand and one taels. It doesn’t need to be too expensive…”
Zeng Xiaoqi:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Two thousand one tael?
Isn’t this expensive?
With two thousand yuan, I can go to a restaurant and buy a bunch of tea-flavored chicken, so why do I need to make it myself?
Shu Yun was also a little surprised:
“You have such high requirements for tea? Can’t cheap tea be enough?”
Shen Jiayue said:
“Cheap tea will have a bitter taste. Only the more expensive Longjing can make the chicken full of tea aroma. Tieguanyin can also be used, but it needs to be more expensive, because Tieguanyin is more likely to be bitter.”
Shu Yun and Zeng Xiaoqi stopped talking.
The recipe is indeed quite simple. It only requires tea leaves and chicken. The kitchen utensils are also very simple. You only need a rice cooker to make it.
It is very similar to dishes such as Lazy Braised Chicken, simple, delicious and easy to operate.
But when they heard that such expensive tea was needed, both of them felt that the chicken was too cheap, because usually everyone would be reluctant to buy such expensive tea when making tea, let alone cooking.
“The tea used by Xubao to make Longjing Shrimp is more expensive, which is why it is so delicious. The tea-flavored chicken is already cheap… and Xubao said that you can drink cheap tea, but you must not save money on cooking, otherwise The food produced is not delicious enough.”
There are many kinds of dishes made with tea. In addition to tea-flavored chicken, there are also tea-flavored duck, tea-flavored goose, tea-flavored fish, tea-flavored spareribs, tea-flavored eggs and other dishes. There are many kinds.
Despite what Shen Jiayue said, both Zeng Xiaoqi and Shu Yun gave up the idea of studying.
The cost is too high to afford learning.
While they were chatting, Lin Xu, Wei Gan, Zhu Yong and Qin Wei walked out of the small kitchen. They had already checked the situation there. All the equipment was normal and the new drying room would be put into use soon. Some of them needed Ingredients that have been stored for a long time can also be placed there.
It can be regarded as diversion of the existing cold storage and warehouse. There is also a very professional food drying room, which can dry various food ingredients. There is also a small drying room, such as dried radish and other dishes, which can be directly dried in the drying room. Made in the drying room.
To put it simply, the kitchen has a larger working space and can cook more dishes.
When the dining areas on the second and third floors are also expanded, Linji Food will have stronger reception capabilities.
This is actually the top priority of this expansion, because only when the dining area is increased and the reception capacity is improved, the store’s turnover will increase.
Turnover is the core of store management. The higher the turnover, the better the store’s business.
With high turnover and good cost accounting, profits will come naturally.
“Hey, Boss Huang, I’m Lin Xu. Can you send us 500 ducks in the next two days? The fatter ones will be slaughtered and stripped of their feathers and sent over. I’ll also bring two hundred kilograms of tea oil.”
Since there is no problem in the warehouse, let’s start making tea oil duck.
When these 500 tea oil ducks are made, it will be just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then, they can be given to relatives and friends, and a new batch will be sold in the store so that customers can taste this delicious dish.
In fact, on Chen Yan’s wedding day, the tea oil duck left a deep impression on many people, and some people even wanted to buy it, but Lin Xu said that it had been used up and was not sold.
The remaining tea oil duck is not enough for family, friends and relatives to share, let alone sell.
Lao Huang did not expect that the big business would come so quickly, so he immediately agreed and said that he would personally check to ensure that every duck was fat and big, and there would never be any shoddy ducks.
“Xubao, when are you going to make tea-flavored chicken?”
Shen Jiayue couldn’t wait to show off her latest cooking skills, and Zeng Xiaoqi also pricked up her ears, wanting to see how high-end the two thousand one-liang tea was.
Lin Xu looked at the time and said:
“Let’s go in the afternoon. Senior brother is here too, just in time for him to appear on camera to give you a review.”
Since the good baby wants to make delicious food, the husband must fully support it, so the senior brother who did not have the task of visiting the store in the afternoon was attracted by Lin Xu.
“Senior brother is coming too? That’s great. I’m just asking for professional advice.”
Shen Jiayue was very excited and began to figure out how many would be better.
For three-yellow chicken, one large one is enough, but today we are going to use baby chicken, which is juicier and more tender. It is much smaller than the three-yellow chicken. One or two chickens are not enough to eat.
Lin Xu said:
“I ordered four baby chickens for you. You can make them in one go with a large rice cooker, so you don’t have to worry about not having enough food.”
The preparation of tea-flavored chicken is actually similar to that of soy sauce chicken, but there are additional steps of using tea leaves and tea juice to infuse the flavor. When the chicken is ready, stir-fry the soaked tea leaves with hot oil until fragrant, and pour the oil and tea leaves on top. On the chicken.
In this way, the chicken will not only have the aroma of tea, but also have fat, which will make it taste better.
After Zeng Xiaoqi finished eating, she went to the community behind to rest.
She caught an early flight and got up at around four o’clock in the morning to rush to the airport. Coupled with the way the special forces traveled for days, she was very tired. At this moment, she didn’t even bother to share her travel experiences, she just wanted to sleep. .
Not long after, Lin Ji’s lunch started.
The temperature is quite high today, so the store specially made some noodle fish.
Just use a slotted spoon to drain the batter into a rolling pot. When the batter meets water, it turns into gnocchi, which look like small fish. In some places, they are also called tadpoles.
The cooked noodles are soaked in water, mixed with balsamic vinegar, garlic sauce, and chili oil, and you eat a big bowl of it happily, which makes you feel full and cool at the same time.
In order to prevent everyone from running out of energy just eating noodles and fish, the chef also prepared dishes such as cold beef and crystal elbow to replenish physical energy.
Lin Xu took a bite of the noodle fish and told Shen Jiayue the interesting story of eating this delicacy in the past:
“When I was a kid, my dad liked to put some mustard oil on fish noodles. After he put it in, he hid the mustard oil in the cupboard as a treasure. I didn’t understand it at the time. He thought he secretly added sesame oil and didn’t let me eat it, so he secretly put it in there. I poured a lot into the bowl and nearly sent me to the hospital…”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I thought people eating horseradish were interesting enough, but I didn’t expect you to be even more awesome.”
Shen Jiayue looked at the perpetual calendar hanging on the wall and said:
“Although it’s the beginning of summer, the real summer still has some time to come. I really hope it comes soon, because then I can drink the lotus leaf porridge Mr. Tateyama mentioned.”
It’s really satisfying to have a bowl of cold lotus leaf porridge with pickles on the hot summer day.
It’s a pity that this kind of lotus leaf porridge is only interesting to drink in the dog days of summer. If you drink it now, it will not have the sultry feeling of hot summer. At the same time, the lotus leaves have not grown well, so it is not suitable for cooking porridge.
Lin Xu said:
“It’s almost time. When it gets hotter, I’ll prepare all kinds of snacks to cool you down one by one. It’s time for the sour plum soup to be served in the store.”
After lunch, the store became busy.
On the other side, in the no-man’s land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Chen Yan and Ren Jie were driving on the Gobi Desert. Although they looked dusty, they were in good spirits.
“Before I came to the plateau, I never thought that the starry sky here would be so beautiful.”
Chen Yan looked at the beautiful scenery taken outside the tent last night. Under the bright starlight, the two hugged each other. She could remember this scene for a lifetime.
It was noon and the sun was very strong. Ren Jie put on his sunglasses and said:
“You didn’t sleep well last night. Why don’t you find a yurt to rest for a while?”
Chen Yan shook her head:
“No, I’m used to the bustling crowds in big cities. I like this feeling of being deserted. Before we leave, let’s not get into the crowds. Let’s continue moving forward and cross the Gobi Desert in front of us. Just punch in and go back. After wandering around for a few days, it’s time to go back to Ansheng to earn money for milk powder.”
After speaking, she clasped her hands and muttered a few words, looking pious.
Ren Jie slowed down and asked curiously:
“Why are you like those literary youths who went to the plateau to feel like their souls were cleansed, and even worshiped the Buddha? Are you going to go to a Buddhist academy?”
Chen Yan took a drink from the water glass:
“I’m not worshiping Buddha. What’s the use of Buddha? I’m worshiping Dundun. I hope my nephew can help us return to the capital safely, otherwise I’ll beat him… Forget it, it’s unlucky to say this, so I’ll threaten him with dried meat. Well, if we can’t return to the capital safely, we won’t feed it yak jerky!”
At the service counter of Linji Food, Dundun, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and couldn’t help but lick his tongue.
Stinky aunt, you actually threatened me with yak fuck… Forget it, for the sake of my little cousin and uncle, I won’t care about you so much.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, in the small kitchen, Shen Jiayue put on a chef’s uniform and a chef’s hat and was sorting out the ingredients for tea-flavored chicken.
The four baby chickens have been prepared, and the Longjing tea is also neatly placed. In addition, there are salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, star anise, cinnamon, shallots and other ingredients and condiments.
“Everything is fine with the equipment, let’s get started?”
After Lin Xu finished the inspection, he looked at Shen Jiayue and asked, “He will not be on camera today, he will only be responsible for filming.”
The cooking process has been written down, Shen Jiayue just needs to follow it, it’s very simple.
“Let’s start, Xu Bao, I’m ready.”
Hearing what the good baby said, Lin Xu made a gesture and then pressed the record button of the camera.
“Hello, friends, I am your Chef Shen. Last time, a netizen said that he wanted to see how to make tea-flavored chicken. As a little fan, this is of course no problem, so what we are going to do today , it’s the rice cooker version of tea-flavored chicken, I guarantee you’ll learn it in no time!”
After speaking, she started to introduce the ingredients.
In order to avoid arousing hatred among netizens, she did not say the price of the tea. She just said that she got it from her father’s study and it didn’t look cheap.
Netizens all know that Shen Guofu is a rich man, so his tea is naturally different.
But because it was taken secretly, instead of showing off the price like some Internet celebrities do, it will make netizens feel that it is one of their own. After all, who doesn’t want to take advantage of capitalists?
After introducing all the ingredients, she started making it.
First, boil a pot of hot water at 90 degrees and brew the tea.
If you are a professional chef, you will most likely use a wok to boil water for this step. While boiling, place your hand over the pot to feel the temperature of the water.
Shen Jiayue doesn’t understand this, but she can achieve this request with the help of an electric kettle with digital display function.
First put the tea leaves into a small basin. When the water temperature reaches 90 degrees, lift the electric kettle and pour the water into the basin with the tea leaves.
As soon as I poured it in, the aroma of tea wafted out.
“I cooked a lot of chicken today, so I used a whole pot of hot water. For one chicken, half a pot of water is enough, and the tea leaves have to be reduced by half.”
After Shen Jiayue finished speaking to the camera, she took a colander and stirred it in the tea soup a few times.
After a minute, all the tea leaves in the basin have unfolded. Use a slotted spoon to take out the tea leaves. Save the tea soup for cooking the chicken later. Set the tea leaves aside for later use.
After preparing tea leaves and tea soup, Shen Jiayue began to pack the four chickens.
The preparation of this delicacy is actually very simple, but the preliminary preparation work is still very important. For example, the chicken body needs to be washed with salt to wash away the dirt on the body and the dirt in the pores.
You cannot blanch the chicken to make tea-flavored chicken, so you need to scrub it with salt to remove as much dirt as possible from the chicken.
After scrubbing, put the chicken into clean water and wash it again. By the way, rinse away the congestion in the abdominal cavity to keep the inside and outside of the chicken body as clean as possible.
After doing this, you can start cooking.
Shen Jiayue divided the tea leaves into two halves, kept one half and poured oil on the chicken, and divided the other half into four parts and stuffed each into the chicken’s belly.
Stuff the four chickens and place them on the bottom of the rice cooker. Add the prepared shallots and rock sugar, then pour in all the prepared light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and other condiments, and add the ginger slices. Scallions and various spices.
When everything is ready, pour the previously brewed tea soup into the pot instead of water, cover the pot, and start cooking.
“The next thing is to watch the time. Fifteen minutes after boiling, open the lid, turn the chicken over, and cook for another fifteen minutes. The chicken will basically be ready. If you use three-yellow chicken, you can extend it by a few minutes.”
This kind of dish is actually not suitable for free-range chicken with very firm meat, because it requires a longer cooking time. Relatively speaking, three-yellow chicken is more suitable.
Of course, if conditions are limited, white-feather chicken will also work. This meat is easier to cook.
Lin Xu pressed the pause button on the camera, and Shen Jiayue immediately came over:
“Xubao, what did I do just now?”
“Yes, very good. This delicacy and Guangdong’s soy sauce chicken are actually variations of Huaiyang cuisine’s soy sauce chicken. The cooking methods also use soy sauce instead of salt, dark soy sauce instead of sugar, and sugar for freshness.”
As Lin Xuzheng was talking, Xie Baomin walked in:
“I’m not late, am I? That guy Lao Wu secretly went to Building 17 to steal chopped peppers. After being caught by Lao Fan, he claimed that he was stealing for me, which made Lao Fan confront me. I just finished handling it.”
My day, how come you guys are fighting so fiercely compared to the people in the palace next door?
Back then, the harem of the Qing court was not as fun as you guys.
Lin Xu asked:
“How to deal with it?”
“I moved two jars of chopped peppers from Building 17. I have forgiven Lao Fan and he is quite satisfied.”
How does this method of handling the situation compare with the way the Eight-Nation Allied Forces dealt with the Qing court?
However, it should be said that the character of this villain that the senior brother has set for himself is quite stable. No matter who it is, as long as they fall into his hands, they will be peeled off.
After chatting for a while, it was almost time to turn over the chicken.
Lin Xu turned on the camera and started shooting, while Shen Jiayue came to the rice cooker, turned off the power first, and then opened the lid. A smell of tea, soybean, and chicken wafted out of the pot.
The smell was very strong, and Shen Jiayue couldn’t help but sniff:
“Wow, it smells good. I feel like I could put some ribs, pig’s trotters or something in it, and the taste shouldn’t be bad.”
At this time, the chicken was already colored, only the upper half was a little lighter in color. Shen Jiayue followed the method taught by Lin Xu, holding chopsticks in one hand and a slotted spoon in the other, carefully turning the chicken over.
The chicken at the bottom is completely red and looks very tempting.
Flip everything over, cover the pot again and continue cooking.
After cooking for another fifteen minutes, the chicken was completely cooked.
Shen Jiayue opened the lid of the pot and did not take the chicken out immediately. Instead, she soaked it for a while and then took it out and put it on a plate.
Then set up the wok, pour some cooking oil into the pot, heat it up, pour the brewed tea leaves into it, stir-fry over high heat, wait for the aroma of the tea leaves to come out, and when the tea leaves are slightly crispy, use a spoon to hold them Pour over chicken.
With a “sizzling” sound, the aroma of tea mixed with the delicious taste of chicken rises.
Tea-flavored chicken, done!
