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

Chapter 438-Winning the First Gold
Zhuo Qianqian was happily dubbing the audio, but suddenly she found that Qin Haiyang had stopped.

She looked at the scoreboard in surprise, and the eye-catching 16-12 told her that the Chinese team had won the first gold medal!
A huge roar suddenly sounded, and the bright red flag was raised high. Fang Zixin and Qin Haiyang's calm faces finally showed a smile.

The two men stretched out their hands and waved towards the stands, welcoming the glory that belonged to China and themselves.

Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian jumped up excitedly, as this was not enough to express the excitement in their hearts.

Before coming to Paris, they made a special trip to the capital to watch the flag-raising ceremony.

The flag-raising ceremony in the capital is naturally very shocking, but the flag-raising ceremony at the Olympic Games can give people a different kind of emotion.

That's when the world's best athletes gather together to compete for a championship, and only the country that wins the championship can play the national anthem in the stadium.

The passionate national anthem played and the bright red flag slowly rose. The whole world seemed to stand still, with only the red flag and the passionate melody stirring in our hearts.

After watching the flag-raising ceremony, the two returned to the restaurant. As contestants, the restaurant always provides ordering services.

Athletes usually don't eat 2 hours before the start of a game. Firstly, they are under a lot of pressure and have no appetite. Secondly, eating will make the blood thicker and affect their competitive state. Therefore, they usually have a snack after the game.

The restaurant's attitude is that anyone who is a participating team member can order food, but the team members are all very proud. Those who didn't win would rather go to the Olympic Village cafeteria than order food here, as they really can't afford to lose face.

As the athletes who won the first gold medal, Fang Zixin and Qin Haiyang could naturally order a meal to reward themselves.

The two of them still have to be interviewed, so they definitely can't get away at the moment, but that doesn't stop Wang Fan from preparing to do it first.

Fang Zixin only ordered a serving of Linhai Mai Shrimp, a snack that didn't require much effort to prepare. Qin Haiyang, on the other hand, really wanted to try the Beggar's Chicken made by Boss Wang to see if it was any different.

Wang Fan is going to marinate the chicken now.

Chicken is not unfamiliar to Wang Fan. He has mastered at least hundreds of ways to cook chicken, but this is the first time he has made beggar's chicken.

He did have a recipe, but the existing conditions did not meet it, so he could only make some adjustments on the spot.

For example, he planned to replace the yellow mud wrapped around the chicken with flour.

Normally, the yellow mud outside the beggar's chicken needs to be mixed with strong liquor, but this is obviously not suitable for these athletes.

Especially since there will be an individual 10-meter air rifle competition after Qin Haiyang, alcohol is naturally excluded.

Although the name of Beggar's Chicken is down-to-earth, the preparation is not that simple.

While Qin Haiyang was still being interviewed, Wang Fan marinated the chicken.

Apply ginger, green onion, salt, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and some vegetables as substitute for spices evenly on the chicken skin.

Bacon, sausage, mushrooms, fungus, chestnuts, red dates, longan, wolfberry, etc. are the ingredients to be stuffed into the chicken's stomach.

After completing the preparations, he put the chicken in the refrigerator and then began to prepare the ingredients for the Linhai Mai Shrimp.

Although the name of this snack is Mai Xia, the main ingredient is not shrimp, but noodles.

The reason why it is called wheat shrimp is because the shrimp is made of wheat flour.

During the production process, wheat flour is stirred into a paste, and then cut into the pot with a kitchen knife along the rim of the bowl. After falling into the water, the paste becomes thick wheat noodles, which roll up and down in the boiling water and swim around. Their shape and movements are very similar to prawns, so they are named "wheat shrimp".

Wheat flour, eggs, shredded white radish, shredded beef, mushrooms, and some dried shrimp and clams for extra flavor. Linhai wheat shrimp is quick to prepare, while beggar's chicken takes a bit longer, so Wang Fan decided to grill it straight away.

He mixed flour, eggs, salt and a little olive oil to make a thick pancake. He planned to use this pancake instead of yellow mud to wrap the beggar's chicken.

The lotus leaves have been softened with salt water. The marinated chicken is wrapped in the lotus leaves, which are then sealed with batter. Then they are put into the oven to bake. Then, of course, the two champions are waiting.

As the first gold medal, the topic and popularity were very high. Fortunately, the major mainstream media were able to enter the Olympic arena, and the questions asked were relatively routine, so the two were able to respond calmly.

Everyone also knew that these two were in urgent need of rest after a hard fight, so they did not make things difficult for them. The real interview would be conducted after the Olympics and they returned to China.

After Fang Zixin and Qin Haiyang breathed a sigh of relief, they collapsed in their respective rooms to rest.

Air rifle competitions may not seem as tiring as sprinting and wrestling, but they actually require a high level of mental concentration. This state can be very tiring if continued for a long time, and mental fatigue is far more uncomfortable than physical fatigue.

Both of them were so tired that they forgot to order food. Fortunately, Coach Yao remembered it and called the restaurant in time to inform Wang Fan.

At this time, the beggar's chicken had been roasted in the oven for 100 minutes.

After checking the time and smelling the odor, Wang Fan decisively turned off the fire, but did not take the beggar's chicken out of the oven.

This kind of thing will always give people unexpected surprises when stewed.

For one pound of noodles, add 350 grams of water, one egg and half a teaspoon of salt. Stir well, then moisten with olive oil and put into a bowl.

Heat oil in a pan, add mushrooms, dried shrimps and clams and stir-fry until fragrant, add shredded white radish and stir-fry with boiling broth. Once the milky soup starts to boil, pick up the bowl of noodles and use a knife to cut the batter into the pan one by one.

The way the shrimp roll up and down in the hot soup really looks like shrimps that are stimulated and running around.

The shredded beef was cut very finely. In order to avoid it being too dry, Wang Fan did not add it to the pot until 30 seconds before serving.

The soup base made with such delicious ingredients only needs a little bit of salt and sugar to make it delicious. Adding any extra spices would be a waste.

These athletes don't have agents, and most people in the cafeteria have their own things to do, so the task of running errands falls on the coach.

Coach Yao, with gray hair, rushed to the restaurant when he received Wang Fan's call. When he entered the door, Wang Fan's Linhai wheat shrimp had just come out of the pot.

As soon as Coach Yao entered the room, he said to Wang Fan a little embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry to bother you."

Wang Fan replied as he packed up the food, "It's all what I should do. It's not a big deal."

The Olympic Village is very close, so taking it for a few minutes won’t affect the taste.

Wang Fan had met Coach Yao several times before, and he rarely smiled. In Qin Haiyang's words, he was anxious all day long.

But his disciple won the first gold medal today, and a smile finally appeared on his anxious face.

"Thank you! But I might have to trouble you again later. That kid might even win another gold medal, hahaha."

Wang Fan chuckled, "That's great! The more trouble this kind of thing brings, the better."
