Chapter 65 The Source of Ingredients

Fengxianglou's extremely delicious lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken tastes delicious, but in Lan Weihao's opinion, it is far inferior to the first-grade lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken in his mouth now.

I don't know what kind of glutinous rice is in my mouth. The grains are distinct, neither too sweet nor too sticky, just right.

The glutinous rice that has fully absorbed the essence of chicken and mushrooms is not oily or greasy. Lan Weihao feels fragrant on his lips and teeth every bite.

Although there are not many kinds of fillings in the glutinous rice, only chicken and mushrooms, but the combination of the two inspires the most wonderful taste.

The combination of meat and vegetables, the delicious chicken meat and the smooth and tender mushrooms are blended together.

A unique salty and fresh fragrance slowly diffused on the tip of Lan Weihao's tongue.

In addition to the taste, this lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken is far inferior to Fengxianglou.

That's the real aroma.

Every time Lan Weihao took a breath, a large burst of refreshing lotus fragrance rushed into his lungs through his nasal cavity, bringing a trace of indescribable coolness, as if sweeping away all the stale air remaining in his lungs.

Because of work, Lan Weihao is indispensable for business entertainment. Over the years, because of tobacco and alcohol, he not only has a bad stomach, but also has accumulated a lot of smoke tar in his lungs.

Every night, he would cough a few times. He often felt that phlegm was accumulating in his lungs.

Unexpectedly, when I smelled this elegant lotus fragrance today, I suddenly felt that the old problem that was suppressed in my chest was relieved a lot.

It is indeed a lotus fragrance...

It is so subtle!
Lan Weihao couldn't control the movements of his hands at all, and began to bow his head and gorge on a piece of lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken.

Zhu Yufei's eating method is relatively elegant. Instead of picking up the glutinous rice chicken and eating it directly, she unfolded the lotus leaf bag, picked up the glutinous rice chicken bit by bit with chopsticks, and tasted it slowly.

The moment the glutinous rice chicken entered his mouth, Zhu Yufei seemed to have a gluttonous and happy little devil dancing in his mind.

This glutinous rice is undoubtedly made of long glutinous rice, but she couldn't tell what kind it was.

Zhu Yufei was puzzled, and continued to pick up a mouthful of glutinous rice chicken.

The chicken is delicious and tender, not too old.

In terms of texture and taste, it should be Langshan chicken.

Such tender chicken is a test of the chef's firework.

If you stay in the pot for a little longer, the tender chicken will soon become stale and the chicken will lose more than half of its flavor.

To be able to control the heat so accurately, at least it takes several years of hard work to practice the basic skills. The owner of this shop is so young, it is really not easy.

Zhu Yufei glanced at Bai Xiaobai, and continued to taste the glutinous rice chicken with her golden tongue.

Besides chicken, the diced mushrooms in glutinous rice are also quite delicious.

Soft and smooth, delicious.

As soon as Zhu Yufei ate it, she knew it was a wild mushroom.When her mother used to be a chef in a big hotel, she used her status to secretly bring some wild dried mushrooms home to make soup.

Zhu Yufei has grown up from a snack, so she can't do anything wrong.

The biggest difference between wild mushrooms and artificial mushrooms is the aroma.

Artificial mushrooms are inoculated and carry the miscellaneous gas of sawdust bacteria, while wild mushrooms not only have a stronger aroma, but also have smaller umbrella handles, so there is no need to cut the mushroom legs.

She can roughly guess the above ingredients, but the rest of the lotus leaves.Zhu Yufei really didn't have a clue.

She only knew that many shops outside used dried lotus leaves for glutinous rice chicken, but this restaurant obviously used fresh lotus leaves, and the lotus leaves did not have any bitterness, which was really strange.

"Grandpa, don't just eat it, this glutinous rice chicken tastes so good?" The short customer couldn't help asking when he saw the old man who had been spitting out after eating the Supreme Tea Egg.

The old man doesn't have the time to talk to him now, he can't stop at all when facing delicious food.

The old man is actually afraid of eating sticky glutinous rice, but the glutinous rice of this lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken is not sticky at all.

Time to have such delicious glutinous rice chicken.

The old man ate too fast and accidentally bit the lotus leaf.

He just wanted to spit it out, but found that the lotus leaf was chewing, and there was a slight cooling sensation, without any bitterness, but a slight sweet aftertaste.

"Little master, can you eat the lotus leaves of this glutinous rice chicken?" The old man showed a surprised look.

"Of course you can eat it." Bai Xiaobai didn't know why the old man asked this question.

The lotus leaf is edible, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lotus leaves have the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, promoting hair and clearing yang, dispelling blood stasis and stopping bleeding, but because lotus leaves are naturally bitter and astringent, generally no one can accept them. .

When the old man heard Bai Xiaobai say it was edible, he ate the lotus leaf with relish.

The short man on the next side is not calm anymore.

"I said, old man, you are too crazy. Even lotus leaves..."

Before the short man finished speaking, the gentle man beside him shook him and said, "Look over there too."

Zhu Yufei also discovered that lotus leaves are edible.

If she eats other glutinous rice chicken with lotus leaves, she will never eat lotus leaves.

But now the lotus leaf in her mouth is fresh and delicious, without any bitter taste, she even wonders if it is a real lotus leaf, and why there is a faint cool sweetness.

Lan Weihao, who was in front of Zhu Yufei's seat, seemed to have discovered this earlier, and he had already eaten up the first-grade lotus-flavored glutinous rice chicken in his hand.

Just now he ate the lotus leaf like lettuce, and it disappeared after a few bites.

The act of three people eating lotus leaves made all the customers present feel incredible.

Do you want to play it so big that even the lotus leaves can be eaten? ? ?
It tastes so delicious! ! !

Bai Xiaobai was also puzzled at the moment, because the lotus leaves are bitter, even if they are steamed, they will not be completely removed.

Therefore, he believes that the lotus leaf is only an auxiliary way to increase the aroma, and only the glutinous rice chicken inside is edible.

I really didn't expect lotus leaves to be edible.

This is the rhythm of ruining the three views.

Just when Bai Xiaobai was about to re-understand the Three Views.

The words in the system in my mind appeared:
Good food is good
The main ingredients of Yipin Lotus Glutinous Rice Chicken are as follows:
Glutinous rice: The system selects Yuantian Xiangnuo, a unique variety in southern Jiangsu with full grains, no moths and no broken rice.

This kind of fragrant glutinous rice only grows in the fertile and pollution-free soil in Jiangbei, and it is ripe once a year.It contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin and starch, etc. It is rich in nutrients and is a warming and strengthening food.

Damn, it's this kind of glutinous rice, Bai Xiaobai was really shocked.

Yuantian Xiangnuo, also known as Yuantian Jiangmi, is the royal grade Jiangmi of the Qing court.It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi used to eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge for breakfast, but also a small glutinous rice dumpling to keep in good health, which was made of Yuantian Jiangmi.

The production of this kind of fragrant glutinous rice is very low both in the Qing Dynasty and in modern times. First, this kind of fragrant glutinous rice has extremely high requirements on the environment and is difficult to grow. It can only be grown in a very narrow area of ​​the Yangtze River in southern Jiangsu; second, this kind of fragrant glutinous rice is cultivated. , Difficult to manage. When it is about to mature, a large number of birds and rodents steal food. When the harvest is finally harvested, there is an average of less than 100 kilograms of fragrant glutinous rice per mu of land.

Because the production of fragrant glutinous rice is extremely low, it is now a special offering of the leaders, and the outside world cannot buy it at all.

So there is a saying.

Bei Xiangshui and Nan Yuantian are not leaders.

Beixiangshui is the Heilongjiang Xiangshui rice specially provided by the leaders, commonly known as the No. [-] rice in China, and Nan Yuantian refers to the Yuantian Xiangnuo from southern Jiangsu, which is known as the No. [-] fragrant glutinous rice in China.

Shocked, Bai Xiaobai continued to read the words in the system in his mind.

Chicken: The system carefully selects the very small amount of 'Langshanbai' fresh wing chicken among the Shandong Langshan chickens. Because the wings have been flapped for a long time, this part is the most tender and refreshing, rich in... (99 characters omitted here)

Mushrooms: Specially selected Fujian Wanmulin deep mountain area, natural wild and pollution-free mushrooms, washed with high mountain spring water, dried for 49 days, rich in... (78 characters omitted here)

When Bai Xiaobai saw the words written in the system of the lotus leaf line, Bai Xiaobai almost beat his chest and stamped his feet!
The lotus leaf had already been thrown into the trash can by him, Bai Xiaobai's remorse now is almost worse than losing 100 yuan.

I saw the system text:
