God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

Li Heng was carried into the small courtyard surrounded by a crowd of disciples.

It seems that if he doesn't feed these crazy senior brothers today, Li Heng will never even think about going out.

Li Heng counted the number of disciples in the courtyard, there were about fifty or sixty.

But the ingredients in the kitchen had long been packed away by Li Heng, and it was definitely too late to buy them now.

Li Heng checked the Najie, and there were more than a dozen plucked swift chickens lying inside. They were captured by the disciples of the Sword Casting Sect from the bamboo forest in the back mountain and swallowed by Li Heng privately.

Except for this pile of chicken, there were not many other ingredients left, which could not satisfy the dozens of foodies outside. It seemed that there was no choice but to use chicken as the main course.

"What are you cooking? Braised chicken?"

During the past few days in the Sword Making Sect, Li Heng had been making braised chicken every day. He was tired of making it, so he might as well try another method.

After thinking for a while, Li Heng decided to make a new dish - three-cup chicken.

When he first heard the name of this weird dish, Li Heng thought it was chicken put in three cups, so it was called three-cup chicken.

After checking the information, I realized how wrong I was.

There is also a story about Three Cup Chicken.

It is said that in ancient times, a filial son stewed a chicken for his mother using "a cup of rice wine, a handful of salt, and a spoonful of oil" as seasoning.

Unexpectedly, the strong aroma attracted the attention of the imperial chef next door. After the imperial chef improved it, he often cooked chicken with a cup of tea oil, a cup of soy sauce and a cup of rice wine, hence the name "Three Cup Chicken".

Just as he was told, Li Heng took out all the chicken from Najie.

After removing the heads and tails, cut them into uniform small pieces, and then wash them with clean water.

Soak the chicken pieces in water for a stick of incense to soak out the remaining blood in the chicken.

Li Heng used this time to prepare the ingredients, cut some ginger slices, some garlic, and a few green onions.

"Can I still hold on until Junior Brother Li Heng finishes cooking? I'm still waiting for it to live longer."

A scrawny and angry disciple leaned on the door frame and asked, giving the impression that he would fall down in the next moment.

"Junior Brother Li Heng, why are you so slow?"

"I just feel like it's been a long time."

A group of disciples refused to sit at the dining table and wait. In order not to cause trouble to Li Heng, they crowded at the door of the kitchen to monitor Li Heng's progress.

He couldn't squeeze in at the door and squeezed the window frame again. Li Heng really felt that enough was enough and he could still cook quietly.

"Come, come, come, I'll give you the knife. If it's too slow, just do it yourself."

Li Heng put down the kitchen knife in his hand and said to the onlookers, "I have been waiting for five days, can't I wait for this incense stick?"

"Hehe, Junior Brother Li Heng is joking. We don't know how to cook. You should do it. We just shut up. Just shut up."

A disciple quickly apologized to Li Heng. If he offended the chef, he would be in trouble in the future.

"Go, go, go, don't block the door and windows. I will bring the food out to you when it's ready, so don't be an eyesore here."

Li Heng shouted at the group of disciples impatiently.

"Okay, let's leave now."

I don't know since when, as long as it is in this small courtyard, Li Heng's words are more effective than the sect master's words.

After driving away these senior brothers who affected his mood, Li Heng resumed his work.

If you want to make three-cup chicken, there is another key ingredient - the leaves of the nine-story pagoda. It also has a more popular name: "fish coriander".

Fish herb can be said to be the soul ingredient of three-cup chicken. It can remove fishy smell and increase flavor, and can also improve the taste.

Of course, if you really can’t find fish herbs, you can use celery leaves instead or leave them out.

After the ingredients are prepared, take out the chicken, blanch it, and set it aside to control the water.

Just like making braised chicken, you still need to use a casserole to make three-cup chicken.

First pour a little sesame oil into the casserole, then pour the garlic, green onions and other ingredients into the casserole. Fry until fragrant. Add the chicken pieces. Fry the chicken pieces over medium-low heat until browned on both sides. Fry out the water and fat in the chicken pieces. .

Then pour soy sauce along the edge of the pot, stir the chicken pieces evenly, and finally pour a cup of rice wine. Since Li Heng hadn't had time to make wine yet, he picked a slightly sweet one from the wine Tie Ming gave him to replace the rice wine. .

Add a little sugar, cover, and simmer over low heat for a stick of incense.

Open the lid. The juice in the pot is now thick, the chicken is red in color and has a rich aroma.

Finally, add the fish herb that is the soul of this dish, cover it again and simmer for a while to let the aroma of the fish herb come out, and then a delicious three-cup chicken is ready.

Although the main ingredients of braised chicken and three-cup chicken are chicken, there are big differences in the cooking methods, which leads to completely different flavors in the end.

The braised chicken tastes a little spicy, but the three-cup chicken is sweet and salty, salty and fresh.

"Here comes the chicken!"

Li Heng walked out of the kitchen carrying the casserole.

"There are still a few pots in the kitchen, go and carry them yourself."

Li Heng reminded.

"Junior Brother Li Heng, thank you for your hard work. Just let us do it by ourselves."

The impatient disciples quickly brought out the remaining casseroles, and then consciously divided into several small teams. Each team sat down around a casserole and began to eat.

"Ah~ after so many days, I feel like I'm alive again."

A disciple picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and made a sound of ecstasy.

"Oh~ It's a familiar taste. As expected of your junior brother Li Heng, everything tastes delicious."

"It's so delicious. I feel like I've found the meaning of life again."

Several disciples were able to speak while working frantically, and they were not lagging behind others in terms of speed. This was something they had already practiced.

Hearing Li Heng calling for dinner, Lu Xiaoxiao rushed out of her room in an instant, took out a basin and made a gesture of preparing to cook.

"Xiao Xiao, how long has it been since you finished eating the crayfish, and you're already hungry?"

Li Heng asked while pressing the deer's little head.

Once upon a time, Li Heng vaguely remembered eating dumplings once. Lu Xiaoxiao, a foodie, was so full that he couldn't walk. He finally lay on a recliner for more than an hour before he recovered.

Li Heng was worried that Lu Xiaoxiao could not keep her mouth shut and this would happen again, so he stopped her halfway.

"Oh, that was an hour ago. Who asked you to make a new dish? I just want to taste how it tastes. Brother Li Heng, please let me go."

Lu Xiaoxiao got rid of the big hand on his head, ran to the big bucket of rice like a gust of wind, and filled himself a basin full of rice.

Li Heng was speechless by Lu Xiaoxiao. Do you call this a taste? He can't eat so much food in a day, right?

Li Henggang was about to persuade Lu Xiaoxiao to eat less, but Xiaochi also ran over with her bowl in his mouth.

Forget it, forget it, you two are foodies, Li Heng filled a bowl of rice for Xiao Chi and scooped up a spoonful of chicken.

Lu Xiaoxiao was carrying a meal and walking through the crowd, looking for a suitable target.

After searching for a while, I finally found a small team and squeezed in.
