Chapter 301: Chicken stew (stomach hurts, slightly shorter)

"Huh? Dege, why did you come back so early?"
"Several little chefs wanted to challenge me. The grass field gave Bianba to help me watch ... Quickly, I notified the little guys who wanted to be 'Maqin' and people who wanted to see the excitement. In the afternoon I In the old place, have a 'cooking showdown' with them. "
Deji took Liu Pengxing and others back to Zhaizi and spoke in Tibetan with several other people who did not go out.
Although Liu Pengxing and others didn't understand much, but watching other people's eyes looked at themselves and others, they could guess a rough idea.
"Uncle Deji, when will we start ..."
"Hahaha, don't worry! Seeing how you look, are you still hungry? Eat at my house at noon, and then go to the" cooking counter "in the village."
Erina waited for the women's eyes to shine, and seeing their unrestrained appearance, Liu Pengxing couldn't even say a polite word!
"Then thank you Uncle Dege."
"Go, my house is in front of me, and I will talk to you while I'm eating!"
Although Deji refused to retreat in the "Machin" rules, he was very hospitable and hospitable.
From the outside, Deji's house is a typical Tibetan bunker built of stone, which looks like a bunker.
At first glance, the interior layout seems a bit shabby, but it also has ethnic characteristics. As soon as Deji entered the room, he poured a bowl of "ghee tea" that was slightly yellowish.
Liu Pengxing noticed that in the large wooden barrel that Deji took out the butter tea, there was a sound of mechanical operation, and it was still a two-part machine. It seems that the tea barrel looks very retro, but in fact it is still automatically stirred by the machine!
And after Deji made the ghee tea, he added something in it, and then he brought it over.
"This is our specialty ghee tea. It has high calories, can delay your hunger, and can also alleviate altitude sickness, so that eating meat for a while will not be good for the stomach, but although I have done something to take care of your appetite of foreigners Improve, but I do n’t know if you are used to drinking ...
Since you are all cooks, I won't be polite to you. I'm the only one in the family. I have to help you make something. If you want to drink it, you can just pick it up yourself. It's on the table. "Deji said to the kitchen first.
Normally, according to the Tibetan etiquette, when guests are asked to drink "Ghee Butter Tea", the guests must drink while the host keeps adding them, and even if the guests are at the end, they cannot drink all of them to show the host's "atmosphere".
However, Deji now has no time to chat with Liu Pengxing and others, and since he is a "companion", Deji also believes that the other party can understand, not to mention that he is also preparing lunch for Liu Pengxing and others ...
"Trouble Uncle Deji!" Liu Pengxing thanked after taking the butter tea in both hands.
Afterwards, Liu Pengxing placed a plate of food that looked like "cookies" but had a random shape and placed it in the middle of the table ...
It is obviously not the first time that Liu Pengyuan has dealt with Tibetans, and he has not shown anything yet, but Erina, Feishan and Alice, looking at this, it looks very thick and has a layer of oily "short butter tea" floating on it. , It seems a bit embarrassing.
After Uncle Dege went to the kitchen, Alice said immediately: "This ... is it really" tea "? This color ... Is it milk tea? But why should milk tea be oiled?"
"Indeed, it smells ... strange!"
Liu Pengyuan heard the words and said: "This is the unique Tibetan" Ghee Tea "." Ghee "refers to a kind of cream extracted from the milk of cattle and sheep. Mix this ghee with the cooked brick tea. Add a little salt ... This slightly yellow 'ghee tea' should be made from milk ghee, and very often it is yak milk. "
Generally, the more fully mixed ghee and tea, the higher the production technology of ghee tea ... but no matter how fully, a layer of oil on top cannot be avoided!
"Let's try it! Any food that has been passed down for a long time will certainly not have no advantages!" Alice looked generous.
The five picked up the tea bowl together. Erina and Alice just squeezed a little bit less, while Feisha learned Liu Pengyuan and Liu Pengxing and swallowed a bite!
But after all, it was a little uncomfortable, and Erina and others frowned slightly after taking a sip ... Anyway, Uncle Deji was not here, and everyone did not suppress the expression.
"It tastes a bit strange ... but aftertaste it carefully, it is quite fragrant." Liu Pengxing said after sucking his mouth.
"It seems that there is something else ... Do you still need to put onions in the ghee tea?" Erina said frowningly.
"Onion? I haven't heard of it ... wait, so to speak, the" Glitter Tea "is indeed a bit different from what I have tasted." Liu Pengyuan took another sip with a search.
The introduction of onions has been in China for more than 100 years, at the beginning of the "era of great fusion of world cuisines".
There is no onion in Tibetan traditional food!
However, Pleiades Liu and Erina were tasted, and a little onion juice was added to this "Ghee Tea"!
It's just that under the rich flavor of "ghee tea", most people should not be able to taste it.
Pleiades looked at Erina who picked up the tea bowl again, and was a little surprised. If it was Erina before, she would sneer at the food with some odor!
Therefore, at the beginning, Saitaka Nao, who was good at food ingredients, although Crazy worshipped Erina, but Fei Sha prohibited him from approaching Erina. ,
And now she seems to have learned to use the "God's Tongue" to feel the delicious side of food instead of simply expanding its shortcomings ...
Sure enough, in the end, I painted Rina and Alice. Although I did n’t let Liu Pengxing play another bowl, I only drank a little oil from my bowl. This was also the courtesy that Liu Pengyuan reminded them before.
Liu Pengxing also has the role of this tea bucket. The lower part of the tea bucket, which is the "shortening" machine, will separate the shortening in the yak milk by centrifugal stirring, and the upper part is during the connection. The ghee below will be extracted and mixed thoroughly with the salted tea inside ...
The traditional method of beating butter is definitely an effort. The herdsmen will pack the milk or goat milk in a special wooden barrel one meter high, and then use a wooden stick to pour it hundreds of times. After the milk residue is separated, pour it Put in hot water and continue to pound until granulated fat is precipitated, collect the ghee particles, rub them into ghee cake and ghee block for storage.
The quality of ghee and the amount of oil that can be produced are closely related to the skill and physical strength of the person who makes the ghee.
But now there is no need to be so troublesome. Unless it is advertised as a hand-made high-end ghee, ordinary people basically have a mechanical substitute.
At the same time, Liu Pengxing also showed a small "juicer" with minced onions in it.
It seems that for the sake of people who are not used to drinking oily tea, Deji will add a little onion juice to the "ghee tea" to achieve the purpose of degreasing.
And the image is not regular, it looks like a "baked cake" of cookies, and a few people also eat less.
"Huh? Sweeter than expected, actually added nuts ... And is this fragrance ... milk powder?" Liu Pengyuan surprised.
Uncle Deji's rice cake is more similar to a barley pastry than the traditional rice cake that is usually added to butter tea and mixed to eat.
It can be seen that this "Maqin" usually likes to study some improvement of traditional food by himself.
Liu Pengxing and Erina discussed the recipe for the day after tomorrow. Afterwards, Liu Pengxing was also very interested in the local cooking method. After obtaining the consent of Deji, he also entered the kitchen and looked on.
After about half an hour, Uncle Dege carried a bowl ... No, it was a pot of stewed chicken!
"First of all, please try my craft!"
Regardless of Liu Pengxing's food intake, this large pot of stewed chicken is definitely enough for a few people.
Erina and others looked into the pot, and now the stone pot is still divided into two parts, one part is red, the other part is white ...
But both parts are stewed chicken, and both have large pieces of chicken thighs that look very appetizing.
"Uncle Dege, what's the name of this stewed chicken?" Alice asked.
"Name? This ... the white part is a slightly improved" Lulang Stone Pot Stewed Chicken ", but the improvement is not large, it is still called the name! As for the red one ... I have n’t named it yet. Completely completed. "Deji said.
Hearing Deji say this, the five of them all agreed, and they first filled a bowl of red stewed chicken. Deji was laughed and apparently satisfied that everyone believed his craftsmanship and chose to taste himself first. Created recipes.
I took another wine sac and looked at the ages of several people. Hesitantly asked, "Do you drink barley juice?"
"Is this the traditional saying in the world ... I can drink less!" Liu Pengxing said.
Erina and others did not force it. After all, the barley wine usually has a degree of about 45 degrees, which is not too low.
And when everyone tasted this red stewed chicken leg, they felt the aroma of wine, and there was a fascination on their faces ...
"This is ... French chicken stewed with red wine?"
"And you can taste it. The chicken soup here is definitely broth. It is not something that you can boil in less than an hour!"
"Oh! What about the biscuits called" Zuoba "just now? This solid red wine broth, served with chunks of chicken thighs and diced vegetables, is so fragrant that it makes you want to bite a big bite of Zanba!"
"Yes, this should be the result of an improved formula, otherwise the real" French wine stewed chicken "does not require other staple food," alone "to taste delicious."
"Onion, garlic, aromatic leaves ... The ingredients are indeed very similar to French red wine stewed chicken, but it seems to have some other flavors ..."
"It's ginseng! It's different from the" Dangdang "we used before, it should be another kind of ginseng! But it's strange that the taste of this ginseng is very similar to the taste of" red wine ", should it be ginseng sparkling wine? But in terms of the degree of red wine, it is difficult to make people participate ... No! I know, there are two kinds of wine, one is a mixture of high-ginseng wine that has been brewed for a long time, and a mixture of low-grade red wine! "Said Erina.
"Huh?" Deji looked at Erina differently.
At the time, Erina took up Liu Pengxing's wine glass without any care, and after tasting some barley wine, he said: "Yes, this is the wine! But the brewing process is slightly different. The height of the wine in the stewed chicken is better than this. It ’s about two degrees higher, but the amount is not big! "
"You actually tasted it in one bite? How did you do it? Or ... you two 'hearts with heart'?" Deji couldn't help but wonder.
Liu Pengxing was also in the kitchen before, so Deji even considered the "heart and soul".
"It's not difficult," Erina said proudly.
Deji seemed to think of something, whispering after frowning for a while: "Wait, I really want to see you somewhere ... right!"
Deji said that he took out his mobile phone and started to use "level taste" as a keyword search. Almost every such article mentioned the name of Erina ...
Although they had told Dege's name before, Degee searched for the picture of "Yechee Rina" for the sake of insurance.
Looking at the golden the web, Deji couldn't help but exclaim for the live-action version in front of him: "Oh! It turns out that you are the taste master who claims to break through the limits of humanity!"
And Erina said: "Actually, you also feel that this" French wine stewed chicken "is a modified dish that comes from alcohol, red wine, highland barley wine, ginseng ... It is difficult to reconcile the best ratio. Is that right? "
"Yes, if the proportion of barley wine is increased, the alcohol is too strong, and if the wine is reduced, the flavor will be insufficient, and if the status quo is maintained ... The unique flavor of ginseng is a little insufficient. If you add ginseng to the chicken soup, you will The integrity is destroyed!
The current ratio has been the result of a long time of consideration, but it is still not very satisfactory. Deji nodded.
"Why not try grape juice?" Erina chuckled lightly.
At this time, Erina had a confident look like Queen of Taste on her face, but Deji did not feel dissatisfied, but thought carefully about Erina.
"Grape juice? But that's red wine ..." Deji asked doubtfully.
"Of course not by adding grape juice directly! In barley wine soaked with ginseng, add grape juice in a ratio of one to eight, and cooking after 8o hours should achieve the best taste and taste! Of course, after adding grape juice The shelf life of the highland barley wine will be greatly shortened, and it is not as long as possible, so it must be the highland barley wine that has been soaked in ginseng. "Erina reminded again.
"Using highland barley wine to make grape juice for three and a half days of fermentation? Sounds ... Thank you! I will try this ... amount, or wait! There will be a 'cooking duel' later." .
Liu Pengxing couldn't help but say: "It's okay, otherwise Uncle you ..."
"No, no, the rules can't be broken! By the way, I haven't elaborated on the rules with you yet?" Deji was very stubborn in this regard.
On the one hand, I am very grateful for Erina ’s suggestions, but on the other hand, I must implement the
rules
.
And everyone can feel that Deji's "war intentions" are more abundant than before!
Before, it was more like to accompany Liu Pengxing to "play", but after seeing the strength of Erina and knowing their identity, they looked squarely ...
Although it is not Erina who is going to show off against him, in his view, "the world-class taste master's follow-up chef" (Liu Pengxing :?), even if he looks young, should he have some strength?
And Deji and Liu Pengxing also talked about the rules of cooking duel!
Normally, in full compliance with the rules, Liu Pengxing wants to take away any ingredients, he must use the ingredients as a topic, and cook with Deji.
However, considering that Liu Pengxing was still in a hurry, Deji also appropriately relaxed the rules, using only the main "yak" as the topic, as long as Liu Pengxing won, he could pick one yak, Tibetan chicken, and Tibetan pig each, and bring a headband go.
While for a while during the "cooking duel", the elders in the village will serve as arbitration. The two will use a whole yak as the main ingredient to perform any number of dishes. Four hours later, they will be handed over to three arbitrations to taste ...
The order of tasting is not "first come first serve", but after the time is up ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The arbitration will decide which side to taste.
As for the auxiliary materials ... Normally, both parties should prepare by themselves, but Uncle Deji specifically said that the ingredients in his home, Liu Pengxing, need to be taken directly.
There is no limit to cuisine and dishes, and there is no limit to the utilization rate of yak ...
You can roast whole beef, whole beef feast, or just make a steamed beef tongue!
The arbitration will prepare all the dishes for the two parties and consider the whole. It is really good enough to cook, and it is not impossible for a single tongue to press the whole cow!
"Oh! By the way, there is also the most need to pay attention to, that is, there is really only one table, such as pots, grills, etc. on the duel counter, I can prepare it for you, but what is the pressure cooker, oven, etc. Not to mention, other devices don't even think about it, you can only use the original bonfire, charcoal fire, furnace fire as a heat source! "Deji said.
Liu Pengxing was a little surprised when he heard that, because there were many modern cooking equipments in Deji's kitchen. When he tried to compare, he could only use retro fire to cook ...
"How is it? Are you okay?" Deji asked.
After all, many young cooks, especially academic cooks, are accustomed to heat sources such as constant temperature stoves and ovens, as well as all kinds of equipment to assist, and directly "fire" to cook, which should be very unfavorable to them.
"I'm from an authentic Chinese cuisine. Chinese cuisine is also a" fire "cuisine. No matter how you look at this rule, it will be very beneficial to me?" Liu Pengxing said confidently.
Not to mention bonfires and charcoal fires, even if no heat source is provided, Liu Pengxing can demonstrate what it means: a real cook can use his own heat source ...
"Oh? In front of me who is Tibetan Maqin, dare to say that I am proficient in fire cooking? Isn't that big talk, see you on the stage in a moment! Let's eat hot while ..."
