Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 172-Linyi Fried Chicken, practicing running chicken for a year and a half
A university dormitory.

Zhuo Qianqian had an expression of having succeeded in her evil plan.

You ignorant boss, you know nothing about my strength!
It’s okay if you don’t reply to the message, but if you dare to reply, I will directly lock your IP address, hahahaha!

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhuo Qianqian's fair and slender fingers tapped on the keyboard quickly, and lines of code kept flashing on the computer, so fast that most people couldn't even see clearly.

"Snapped!"

After pressing the last enter key, Zhuo Qianqian looked at the line of words that appeared on the computer and smiled with satisfaction.

"Manting Park in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Oh, boss, you're welcome. Are you going to the Water Splashing Festival?"

"You can still run pretty fast, but never underestimate the strength of a food lover!"

Zhuo Qianqian waved her fist, took out her phone, and called her instructor directly: "Teacher Liu, I'm asking for a week's leave. Can you please tell our instructor for me?"

"Huh? Didn't school just start? Why do you want to take a leave?"

Zhuo Qianqian said directly: "Actually, I still think that Peking University's graduate program is more suitable for me..."

"Okay! Is one week enough? If not, I'll give you two more days!"

"That's enough, that's enough for now. I'm leaving now."

"Be careful, and also, read my research..."

"We'll talk later. Good night, teacher."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Qianqian started booking tickets directly: "My staff meal will be in the bowl soon!"

……

After a brief moment of confusion, Wang Fan quickly put it out of his mind.

I came to Yunnan but didn't tell anyone, so there was no way that little foodie Zhuo Qianqian would find me.

The newly ordered ingredients have arrived and he has started processing them.

If you want to retain the most delicious flavor of chicken, you must not blanch it. If you want to remove the fishy smell without blanching, you must soak it in cold water in advance to soak out the blood and then stir-fry it directly in the pan without any fishy smell.

Different from the tender chicken legs in braised chicken, Linyi fried chicken must use old roosters, which must be pheasants that have been trained for at least one and a half years.

This kind of chicken will definitely taste more delicious, but the price will definitely be higher.

Even if you search the entire city in the system mall, you won't find it for less than 20 yuan per pound.

The cost of a chicken is more than 60 yuan, plus labor and other materials. The price of this dish in local restaurants in Linyi is more than 200 yuan. Only the fried chicken at specialty markets is cheaper.

As for those restaurants that serve 7 dishes, they most likely use three-yellow chickens, which are less than yuan per pound, so they do make some money.

This time, Wang Fan not only ordered chicken, but also ordered 10 pots. Although Linyi Fried Chicken is called Fried Chicken, because it uses free-range chicken, it must be stewed. If you don’t use a pressure cooker, it will take more than 45 minutes to stew it. If there are not enough pots, diners will have to queue up.

At around three o'clock, Wang Fan started preparing fried chicken.

In this way, the first batch of fried chicken can be served around 4 o'clock.

As a result, he obviously underestimated the resentment of those diners who didn't get to eat the braised chicken. They started waiting outside the door just after 3 o'clock.

Seeing the price of 300 yuan per piece on the sign, several people felt that they were being ripped off. Chen Shuo pointed at the sign and asked, "Boss, are you serious about this price?"

Wang Fan nodded. "The fried chicken we use is wild roosters that are over a year and a half old. The raw materials are quite expensive, and each chicken weighs about three pounds. We use genuine ingredients, and it takes a lot of time to make them. The price is actually not that expensive. You can search online."

"It's not expensive. I went to Linyi specifically to eat there once before. The dish I ate there was 280 yuan a plate. At this price in the scenic area, the boss is just making a hard-earned profit at most."

As soon as Wang Fan finished speaking, a voice explained for him.

Wang Fan felt that the voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before. He looked up and found that he had indeed heard it before.

Di Renjie greeted Wang Fan with a smile: "It's been a while since we last met, Boss Wang. I didn't expect to see you here again."

Wang Fan only had a passing liking for Di Renjie and didn't know his name, so he just smiled and said, "Hello."

Chen Shuo was surprised to see this person, and then said with a look of surprise: "Di Renjie? I often watch your videos."

Di Renjie smiled and shook his hand: "Thank you for your support."

This guy is really popular on the Internet, and all the early diners in the restaurant know him.

"I thought Boss Wang only made braised meat, but I didn't expect he could also make fried chicken?"

He came here for the Water-Splashing Festival. While he was enjoying the scenery, he heard a sound from inside the store. Out of curiosity, he came in to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw Wang Fan as well.

Wang Fan said, "I stayed in Ludong for a while some time ago and took the opportunity to learn it."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "That's great. I haven't eaten chicken in a while, so I'll have a bite to eat at Boss Xiao Wang's place today."

Wang Fan said, "Then I guess we'll have to wait a little longer. I'm just about to start cooking, so it'll be at least 4 o'clock before we can eat."

Di Renjie and his companions showed no intention of leaving. With Di Renjie's endorsement, the diners all accepted the price of 300 yuan. Two of them, who felt they had smaller appetites, even formed a group. This way, 150 yuan per person wasn't so difficult to accept.

The pots have been placed on the stove, lined up in a very imposing manner.

Put the pot on the fire, heat the pot and add cold soybean oil. After that, Wang Fan scooped another spoonful of lard into the pot.

The milky white lard melted quickly. Wang Fan removed the pot from the heat and put star anise, angelica dahurica and cinnamon into the pot.

After the aroma of the spices is released, add the ginger slices. After the smell of fresh ginger is released, pour a whole chicken chopped into three-finger-wide pieces into the pot.

Several diners watched Wang Fan frying chicken. Instead of feeling bored, they watched with great interest, thinking that his movements were full of a kind of beauty that came from his ease.

The fire under the pot was burning fiercely, and the iron pot in Wang Fan's hand was shaking constantly. As soon as Di Renjie saw this, he knew that the fried chicken must be good.

He directly explained to the diners present: "Linyi fried chicken must be fried over high heat, so that the moisture in the chicken can be quickly fried dry, so that the fried chicken will be dry, fragrant and delicious."

Everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something, but as to whether they had truly understood it or not, that was another matter.

As soon as Wang Fan's hand touches the pot, his entire attention will be focused on the pot. No matter what others say, he basically won't hear it and will work completely at his own pace.

Add chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, soybean paste increases the aroma and base flavor, oyster sauce enhances the freshness, seafood sauce enhances the color, and dark soy sauce is used to set the color. Continue stir-frying over high heat.

At this time, the aroma of the chicken has been completely stimulated, and the aroma of the meat is completely incomparable to that of the three-yellow chicken.

Chen Shuo took a deep breath. The rich aroma of the chicken immediately made him decide that 300 yuan was definitely worth the money.

When Di Renjie smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but look at Wang Fangao again in his heart. Switching from braised meat to fried chicken is as big as switching from studying civil engineering to studying law. To be able to stir-fry something with such fragrance means that he must have the real stuff in his hands!
