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

Chapter 190 - Show off your skills, stir-fry over high heat

"Ouch? How dare they label it extra spicy in our Yunnan area?"

Xu Yan's eyes widened when he saw the sign: "I have to try how spicy this extra spicy food is today."

Chen Shuo laughed and said, "What the boss means by 'extra spicy' is different from what you understand as 'extra spicy'. What you mean by 'extra spicy' is self-harming, but what the boss means by 'extra spicy' is within the human body's tolerable range. It only feels spicy when you eat it, but your body won't have any major adverse reactions afterwards, unless you really want to challenge your limits."

When he said this, he thought of Di Renjie, who ended up in the hospital because he shared a dish with him and the food was spicy beyond his usual level.

Xu Yan snorted, "If I drink a sip of water during this meal today, I'll lose. And the price is so high at 300 yuan. If it doesn't taste good, I will definitely report him."

Chen Shuo snorted. "Don't you have any idea how expensive the food here is? I had a rice bowl next door last time, and that pathetic meal cost me 30. One portion wasn't enough to fill me up, and there was nothing else I could ask for. Don't be fooled by the high price; you'll know it's worth it the moment you take your first bite."

After all, it was a place he recommended, so Chen Shuo had to protect it, and what he said was all the truth.

Xu Yan said, "Okay, okay, let's go and try it. I want to see what kind of delicacy you can praise so much and come here so early."

Chen Shuo pointed to the small words below the sign: "Didn't you see? Limited to 100 servings, one per person. If you come late, you'll just have to smell it."

Xu Yan took a closer look and curled his lips in disdain: "Isn't this just starvation marketing?"

Chen Shuo smiled and didn't explain: "How about you give me half of your share?"

Xu Yan tutted his words and said, "Look at how ignorant you are. I'll give you half a portion. After you finish eating, I'll take you to eat our Yunnan delicacies tonight."

When the two of them stepped into the store, Wang Fan had just finished processing the ingredients.

Chen Shuo greeted with a smile: "Boss Wang, I'm here again. One serving of spicy chicken for each person."

Wang Fan had an impression of Chen Shuo. It was he who ordered the fried chicken from Lagoumen at the beginning. It seemed that because Di Renjie shared the bill with him, he ended up being hospitalized because of the spicy food.

"Hello, do you want some spicy spicy food today?"

Chen Shuo laughed: "Of course, my friend can eat spicy food too. Boss Wang, please don't be reluctant to add chili."

Wang Fan smiled and said, "Let's find a place to sit. We'll probably have to wait about half an hour."

The cooking methods of Zaozhuang Spicy Chicken and Linyi Fried Chicken are somewhat similar. Both are fried without blanching and then stewed with water. The only difference is the seasonings used, so the taste will be quite different.

Linyi fried chicken is famous for its rich sauce aroma and unique taste, while Zaozhuang spicy chicken is known for its bright colors, rich aroma and delicious taste. It is served with local sesame seed cakes, pot stickers or pancakes, and is suitable for both hot and cold dishes, with an excellent taste.

The dough pancakes made by Zhuo Qianqian have been put into the electric baking pan, and it is estimated that they will be ready in 10 minutes.

Wang Fan's chicken has also been poured into the pot and started to be fried. The rich aroma soon fills the air again.

When an ingredient reaches the most suitable temperature for it, the aroma it can burst out is unimaginable.

The same ingredients processed by different people will have completely different smells and tastes.

Moreover, Wang Fan showed off his skills in making this fried chicken.

He stood in front of the stove, his eyes focused, the spatula in his hand flashing brightly under the burning fire.

Every time he flipped the wok, a raging fire would burst out of the iron pot, and Wang Fan seemed to be dancing with the flames.

The ingredients in the pot flew in the air as if they were given life.

The flames licked the bottom of the pot and the ingredients inside. Wang Fan's movements were skillful and confident. His arms waved, accurately flipping and catching the ingredients in the pot. As soon as the fire was extinguished, the next moment he flipped the wok, the flames ignited again, and the hot breath continued to hit his face.

In this burning fire, Wang Fan was like a master who controlled the flames, and his cooking skills made the three people watching very excited.

The burning temperature in the iron pan is not high, but it triggers the Maillard reaction just right together with the temperature of the bottom of the pan, adding a lot of taste changes to the chicken pieces in the pan.

When it was almost done, I poured a few spoonfuls of boiling water into the pot and started stewing.

Then he picked up the second pot and the hot flames rose again.

Xu Yan exclaimed: "I wiped it. Apart from anything else, just seeing the boss playing with fire made me feel that the trip was worthwhile."

Chen Shuo was also a little excited: "There was nothing like this last time I came here. It's really nice to be able to watch the show while waiting for delicious food."

This time the stew took about 15 minutes, and Wang Fan would occasionally lift the lid of the pot and push the meat to prevent it from burning.

Because of the addition of white vinegar, the chicken will be cooked and deboned earlier, which is what makes it different from Linyi fried chicken.

After the sauce was almost reduced over high heat, Wang Fan poured a pot of chili peppers into the pot.

There are both chili peppers and thin-skinned peppers that are a specialty of eastern Shandong, and the quantity looks really impressive.

After a final stir-fry, Wang Fan put it on a plate. Zhuo Qianqian picked up the plate and handed it to the two of them.

Looking at the Zaozhuang spicy chicken on the plate, Xu Yan and Chen Shuo couldn't help swallowing.

The presentation of this dish is not exquisite, but who can say that roughness is not another kind of beauty?

The rosy chicken, green peppers, yellow ginger slices, and white garlic fill a large plate, which is very consistent with the temperament of the Shandong man.

The refreshing aroma of chili mixed with the rich aroma of chicken kept tempting the taste buds of the two, making them eager to taste it.

Chen Shuo licked his lips and said, "Just now I said you'd give me half, but this one's yours, so we'll each have half."

Xu Yan asked curiously, "When did I ever say I'd give you half? Do you have any evidence?"

Chen Shuo sneered, "I knew you would change your mind, luckily I was prepared."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and activated the recording function.

Xu Yan didn't react much after hearing what he said. Instead, he looked at him with admiration: "Amazing, amazing! You can synthesize such a realistic voice in just a few minutes. You really deserve to be a dubbing major."

After hearing this, Chen Shuo raised his middle finger to Xu Yan and praised him, "You are truly shameless and invincible. You are amazing."

At this time, the second plate had also been taken out of the pot, so the two of them didn't have to fight over one plate each, and Zhuo Qianqian's pancake had also been cut into pieces and brought up on a plate.

Chen Shuo pointed at the plate and said, "We agreed that whoever drinks water before finishing the chicken will pay."

Xu Yan snorted lightly: "When you get to Yunnan, I will definitely treat you. But since you said so, I will definitely not lose. I will transfer the money to you after you pay."

The two men looked at each other, neither willing to give in, and simultaneously stretched out their chopsticks to grab the meat from each other's plates.
