Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 784 Shen Jiayue: My career as a matchmaker is over before it even begins! Cook three cup chi

“Hello Dundun!”

As soon as Shen Jiayue entered the door with Dundun in her arms, she met the rich sister walking out from inside.

Her clothes are still so graceful and luxurious. Not only are she covered in famous brands, but she is also full of nobility. Paired with the rather flamboyant rose perfume, she really looks like a rose with thorns.

Dundun shouted at her as a response, then jumped down from Shen Jiayue’s arms, ran in quickly, and went to play with George.

Shen Jiayue looked at Sister Fu and asked:

“Are you going back?”

“Yes, I went back. I found some good jade materials two days ago. I just came to give them to Master Deng and asked him to carve some jade articles… I was out of town when your cousin got married, so I didn’t congratulate him in person. I’m sorry. ha.”

When Deng Lisong went with the gift that day, he alone put 100,000 yuan on the gift table, probably for the rich sister.

From this point of view, the rich sister is indeed a rich sister. Even if she is not an acquaintance, she heard that there was a happy event and she sent someone 100,000 yuan. From this point of view, she is a friend worth making.

Shen Jiayue said:

“You don’t have to say sorry, don’t you just follow the courtesy… Go to Linji when you have time, we will treat you to dinner.”

“Okay, no problem. I’m going abroad in the afternoon. When I get back, I’ll go to the store and try your famous staff meal to see if it’s as delicious as the legend says.”

After the rich sister finished speaking, she walked out.

Shen Jiayue looked at the rich sister’s back with envy. She liked this kind of mature dress very much, but she couldn’t control it and could only follow the pure and youthful route.

Alas, being young is such a flaw!

Shen shook his head and walked into the door of Deng Lisong’s house.

George took out his latest toy and showed it to Dundun as if he was presenting a treasure. The little guy was a lot bigger than before and already had the appearance of an adult cat.

But because of the growth period, the meat has not caught up yet, so it looks a little thin.

Every cat has an embarrassing period in its growth process. Fortunately, George is almost over it now. Once the skeleton develops and he grows more flesh, he will become a standard black and white pig.

Deng Lisong was worrying about several huge pieces of jade in the studio. When he saw Shen Jiayue coming in, he weakly said hello and continued to worry.

Shen Jiayue asked:

“Why does Sister Fu keep coming to see you?”

She originally wanted to hint to Deng Lisong whether Sister Fu had other ideas, but Master Deng didn’t realize this at all:

“You have money. Last time she asked me about the processing fee, I quoted a sky-high price. I originally asked her to give up, but she didn’t expect the money to come over in less than five minutes… I hate rich people like this to death. ”

When communicating with a straight man, you really can’t beat around the bush… Shen Jiayue asked insinuatingly:

“Is Sister Rich single now?”

Deng Lisong shook his head:

“How can someone like her be single? It is said that she has a fiancé who has been living abroad all year round. She has also received a French knighthood and a British royal title. She is enjoying herself both at home and abroad… Why do you ask this? I want to give something to my side. Is your friend a matchmaker? This kind of person doesn’t live well at first glance and is not suitable for people in our circle.”

Shen Jiayue: “…”

Putting aside the fact that she has a fiancé, how do you know that the rich lady is not a person who lives her life?

Logically speaking, the appearance of the rich sister should be based on the aesthetics of straight men. Why is Master Deng so derogatory?

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

“What kind of girl does Master Deng like?”

Deng Lisong thought carefully:

“Be quiet. It’s best if you like reading in a less complicated social circle. I am a simple and pure person, and I also hope that my other half will be simple and pure.”

Yes, it can be seen from this that Deng Lisong and Sister Fu are not the same people.

Shen Jiayue originally wanted to match a couple, but she didn’t expect it to end before it even started. Sure enough, not everyone can do this kind of thing.

I think of those matchmakers in ancient times who mostly had moles on their faces and were ugly. Being young and beautiful, I was really not suitable for this line of work.

She did not disturb Deng Lisong anymore, but went outside to play with Dundun and George with the cat teasing stick.

On the other side, Building 9 of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Lin Xu drove into the yard and parked his car. Just as he and Hao Qingfeng got out of the car, he saw Bai Pengbo driving a battery car for internal commuting to Building 9.

“Haha, I knew there would be an event in Building 9 today, and I was right.”

Bai Pengbo saw several head chefs coming to Building No. 9 early in the morning. He originally thought they were just here to look for good things, but when he saw Lin Xu’s car driving over, he guessed that today was No. 9 There was something going on in the building, so I drove all the way there.

Lin Xu said:

“Let’s take a picture of the three-cup chicken with Chef Jin, and check out other dishes by the way. Assistant Bai won’t be busy today?”

“I don’t have much to do. I just drink tea and read the newspaper. I also help Director Liao sort out information. As long as I don’t have foreign affairs tasks, I basically stay in semi-retirement every day.”

When Bai Pengbo heard that he was going to take a video, he immediately took out the car key and planned to go in and take a look together.

Although we are shooting three cups of chicken, there are several chefs here today and they will definitely not just shoot one dish, so as long as you book with them, you will definitely have something delicious at noon.

Several people came to Building 9 together. As soon as Bai Pengbo entered, he said to the front desk manager:

“We were looking for Chef Jin, so we went in directly…”

Before the front desk manager could say anything, he took Lin Xu straight to the kitchen. Passing by the pastry department, he picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and ate it without thinking of himself as an outsider.

It can also be seen from this that Jin Shangwen is a very reserved person, unassuming, and turns a blind eye to things around him.

Take Bai Pengbo’s behavior as an example. If he dared to do this in Building No. 2, Lao Xie would chase him with a kitchen knife and chop him, but in Building No. 18 of Lao Dai, Bai Pengbo would go out crying.

The head chef in each building has his own personality, and so do the people he brings out.

That’s why Bai Pengbo dared to eat in Building No. 9, as if he had returned to his own home.

Arriving at the back kitchen of Building 9, Lin Xu met Jin Shangwen, the executive chef here. He was probably in his forties, but because he had gone bald early, he looked a little older.

Seeing Lin Xu coming, Jin Shangwen greeted him with a smile:

“Brother Lin is welcome to come and give us guidance. Our Building No. 9 is not as fancy and prosperous as the Building No. 10 next door. I hope Brother Lin won’t dislike it.”

Lin Xu smiled and said:

“No, I really like Building No. 9. It feels like home.”

Building No. 9 is small. From the courtyard to the restaurant, it feels like you are in a super luxurious villa.

Jin Shangwen smiled:

“Brother Lin is good at talking… Is this Director Hao? I met him last time at Happy Media. Welcome. I have no experience in making videos, and I’m about to ask Director Hao for advice.”

Hao Qingfeng said quickly:

“You’re welcome. Let’s add WeChat later. If you don’t understand anything, just ask me and we’ll discuss it together.”

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Ning Yiheng, the executive chef of Building 3, walked out of the kitchen next door with a goose paw. He nibbled on it and said to Lin Xu:

“Brother Lin, try the spicy braised food in Building No. 9, it’s really amazing.”

Fan Ming, the executive chef of Building 11, is also here. In addition to the goose paws, he also has a whole goose gizzard, which he is also chewing:

“It’s spicy and satisfying to eat. It’s very suitable for our old Shaanxi appetite. It’s worthy of being the starting point and the end point of the Long March. The taste is so similar.”

Jin Shangwen looked at the two people and said:

“Bullshit, you just don’t dare to go to Lao Dai’s place to cause trouble. That’s why you came to my place and even ate the food. That’s pretty much it. If you eat any more, I’ll tell Lao Dai that you two secretly scolded him in private.”

Evil people need to be punished by evil people. Even though these two guys are now like the Japanese who have entered the village, they still have no temper in the face of a knife like Lao Dai.

And as long as Lao Dai is given a reason to take action, even if the two of them privately praise Lao Dai as the savior, they can’t escape Lao Dai’s search.

Fan Ming gave in first:

“You’re just kidding, look at you, why are you so energetic? Go to our Building 11 and make as many buns as you want. Enough is enough!”

The corner of Jin Shangwen’s mouth twitched, he was reluctant to even invite the mutton in the basin, so don’t be too generous.

Ning Yiheng finished the goose paw in a few mouthfuls and took the initiative to change the topic:

“Aren’t we going to make three cups of chicken? Why don’t we start now? Lao Dai and Lao Xie will come later, and it will be so noisy that the camera will be taken away.”

Regardless of what should be said, Lao Xie and Lao Dai made risqué remarks from time to time, and it was indeed easy for them to become the focus of the audience.

In order to prevent himself from being reduced from the protagonist to a supporting role, Jin Shangwen did not care about the spicy stew in the kitchen and led a few people to a small kitchen not far away.

This kitchen is used for cooking small pot meals for the leaders and foreign guests staying there. It is always empty when there are no foreign affairs tasks, so Lao Jin uses it as a studio for filming food tutorials.

It’s said to be a workshop, but it’s actually just a few fill lights set up and two fixed camera positions made of tripods.

This is also the reason why his video footage is simple.

As soon as Hao Qingfeng came in, he pointed at the ceiling and said:

“The fill light should be higher up, so that it will not shine directly on people, and the light in the photos will be softer. There should be a place to hang the camera above the chopping board and above the stove, so that the angle from directly above can be taken… There should be more camera angles Some, so that editing becomes easier.”

Professionals are professionals, and they pointed out the shortcomings of the shooting location.

In fact, you can gain a new understanding of the layout of the shooting equipment by referring to the small kitchen of Linji Gourmet or the shooting set specially designed by Happy Media.

There is no shortage of equipment here for Jin Shangwen, but he just doesn’t know how to place it.

He took out all the new fill lights and everything else, and Hao Qingfeng immediately started to organize them. With Lin Xu’s help, the equipment was rearranged in less than twenty minutes.

Fan Ming asked:

“Shall we start now? Are the ingredients ready, Lao Jin?”

“You don’t need to prepare anything for this, you can do it at any time.”

Jin Shangwen brought a slaughtered three-yellow chicken, and prepared a cup of light soy sauce, a cup of lard, a cup of sweet rice wine, a piece of ginger, and a few green and red peppers, and he had all the ingredients to make three cups of chicken.

From this point of view, making three-cup chicken is really easy.

Now that everything was ready, Lin Xu changed into chef clothes, washed his hands carefully, and stood in front of the camera with Jin Shangwen.

Hao Qingfeng operates the camera:

“Then let’s get started?”

“start!”

After hearing Lin Xu’s words, he pressed the record button on the camera.

“Hello everyone, I am Lao Jin. Today I will teach you how to make a famous dish in Jiangxi, called Three Cup Chicken. Before making it, I would like to introduce the distinguished guest who came to my workshop today, Brother Lin Xu, welcome!”

Lin Xuxu waved his hand towards the camera:

“Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xu. My wife suddenly wanted to eat Jiangxi cuisine recently, so I shamelessly came to learn from Chef Jin… There are many Jiangxi dishes, but the most famous one has many fans even abroad. The dish is Three Cup Chicken, and today we will listen to Chef Jin explain the past and present life of the Three Cup Chicken dish.”

Today was for Jin Shangwen to set up the stage, so Lin Xu did not take the lead, but kept asking Jin Shangwen.

Lao Jin naturally knew. While introducing the ingredients, he also introduced the allusion of Three Cup Chicken.

The allusions are very simple, nothing more than some food stories that are popular with celebrities. Telling them now is just to deepen the cultural heritage of this dish.

Jin Shangwen said while telling the story:

“When making three-cup chicken, we generally use three-yellow chicken. The meat is tender, easy to cook, tender and juicy, but it is best to use free-range three-yellow chicken. This kind of chicken has a better texture and tastes more delicious.”

Three-cup chicken pays attention to stewing the meat without adding a drop of water. If the meat is firmer, it will be difficult to cook it thoroughly, so the tender and juicy three-yellow chicken is chosen.

In addition to chicken, Jin Shangwen also talked about three cups of seasonings.

“The main seasonings for Jiangxi three-cup chicken are a cup of light soy sauce, a cup of sweet rice wine or low-alcohol rice wine, and the last cup is lard. The ingredients are ginger and green and red peppers that Jiangxi people can’t live without.”

When matching dishes from other places, green and red bell peppers are generally used.

But Jiangxi is unique in that it directly uses green and red peppers instead. While matching the color, it also provides a lot of spiciness, making the dishes more delicious.

Lin Xu wanted to know. Jiangxi and Guangdong were separated by a mountain. Why was one addicted to spicy food and the other afraid to eat spicy food at all?

After introducing the dishes, Jin Shangwen began to change the knife.

He first rubbed the chicken with salt to remove impurities from the pores, and then rinsed it again with cold water.

Wipe off the surface moisture, cut the whole chicken into pieces, and say while cutting:

“The traditional method is to chop it into pieces directly, but the three-cup chicken used at the state banquet is all boneless, and there are no parts such as the head, feet, neck, and wing tips.”

State banquets are more particular, so the chicken needs special treatment.

But since it is a traditional method today, it is natural to follow the old method.

He cut the chicken into mahjong pieces. When cutting the neck of the chicken, he also specially cleaned the lymph nodes inside, so that it would be healthier to eat.

Cut the chicken pieces and set aside, then slice the ginger and green and red peppers with a knife.

After everything was prepared, Jin Shangwen brought a casserole and prepared to make it.

Lin Xu asked:

“I thought it was a wok, but I didn’t expect that the three-cup chicken is made in a casserole, which is somewhat similar to Guangdong’s baked dishes and gelatin pot.”

Jin Shangwen smiled and nodded:

“Yes, the methods are indeed very similar.”

He put the casserole on the stove, added lard, heated it up, poured the chicken in, and fried it over high heat.

He told Lin Xu the technical essentials:

“The first step is to fry the chicken in lard until the surface is browned. This will make the chicken more tender and juicy, and taste better. It can also fry the chicken oil, and the umami flavor of the chicken will naturally come out. ”

The umami flavor of chicken is generally in the fat, so many chicken dishes will specifically add some chicken fat to increase the umami flavor.

Three Cup Chicken takes advantage of this to fry the chicken, so that the chicken does not taste greasy and the flavor becomes richer.

Three-yellow chicken has a lot of water, so the frying step takes a bit long.

Lin Xu felt that by the time it was fried, the chicken would be almost half cooked, which was why it could be stewed just by adding a cup of soy sauce and a cup of sweet rice wine.

It is already mostly cooked, and if you cover the pan and bake it for a while, it will naturally become completely cooked.

A few minutes later, Jin Shangwen turned the chicken over with a bamboo spatula. Lin Xu saw that the chicken at the bottom had been fried to a brown color and exuded a delicious aroma.

I have to say that when it comes to cooking chicken, lard must be used, which is fragrant and fresh, and the combination is just right.

Continue frying until all the chicken is almost browned, add the ginger slices and fry slightly to get out the water from the ginger.

Then pour the light soy sauce along the side of the pot.

Cook the unique black soy flavor of soy sauce and stir quickly to let the aroma penetrate into the chicken.

The aroma of light soy sauce is very strong and it smells delicious.

When the flavor is almost gone, pour the sweet wine into the pot. The peculiar smell of the chicken will evaporate with the alcohol, making it taste more fragrant, tender and delicious.

Next, cover the pot and say it is stewing. In fact, this step is baking or stewing in Cantonese cuisine.

Lin Xu looked at the camera and began to summarize:

“As of now, I finally understand that the first thing is to use three-yellow chicken, the second thing is to make it in a casserole, the third thing is not to blanch the chicken, and the fourth thing is to fry the meat first and then add the ginger, so that the aroma of the ginger comes out and then pour the light soy sauce …Three Cups of Chicken seems simple, but I didn’t expect that there are so many details.”

Jin Shangwen said with a smile:

“The more simple the seasoning and ingredients of the dish, the more particular it is. Brother Lin summed it up very well, but it is not allowed to blanch. This is very important.”

Fresh meat doesn’t need to be blanched at all. It’s all brought to you by the group of Internet celebrities with half-experienced cooking skills. Regardless of what kind of meat it is, it’s just cooked with onions, ginger, cooking wine, and served.

Such craftsmanship is useless even if you give it some high-end ingredients.

The chicken in the pot had been simmering for about six or seven minutes. Jin Shangwen opened the lid of the pot and put in the green and red peppers that had been cut before. Then he carefully turned the chicken in the pot over with a spatula and flipped the peppers to the bottom.

After another five or six minutes of simmering, this fragrant and delicious three-cup chicken is officially completed.

When Jin Shangwen opened the lid of the pot, Hao Qingfeng came over with his camera and took pictures of the pot.

Steam mixed with a delicious smell wafts out of the pot. The chicken inside has turned red. Stir it with a spoon, and the thick soup at the bottom of the pot hangs on the chicken, which looks very tempting.

Lin Xu swallowed and was really tempted by the chicken.

Jin Shangwen said:

“If we follow the Taiwanese method, we should put a few pieces of nine-story pagoda now, but this is not included in Jiangxi’s traditional method. Adding more green and red peppers will work better than anything else.”

He brought the casserole from the stove to the workbench, stirred it twice with a spatula, and asked Hao Qingfeng to take more close-ups.

As for hometown delicacies, we need to promote them more.

After Hao Qingfeng finished filming, Jin Shangwen said to Lin Xu:

“Brother, come and check for the netizens, try how these three cups of chicken taste.”

Lin Xu smiled and picked up the chopsticks:

“I’m just waiting for Brother Jin to say this.”

He picked up a piece of chicken thigh, blew on it, and then put it into his mouth.

As soon as you enter your mouth, you can taste the richness of fat and the tenderness of chicken. In addition, there is also the spiciness mixed in the chicken. Although it is used to match the color, the spiciness of green and red peppers is still quite overbearing.

“How are you, Brother Lin? Does it taste good?”

Lin Xu gave a thumbs up and said:

“It’s so delicious, so delicious… Is there any rice? Hurry up and get me a bowl. Such a delicious dish must be eaten with rice to enjoy it!”
