I have become popular in modern times with food

Yu Jian was somehow drawn into this "war" without gunpowder, and was still at the center of the vortex.

"Hi~" She shrank her neck, raised her hand slightly and waved to say hello.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at her, Yu Jian was terrified in her heart, she couldn't help retreating, and shook her head at Guan Shanyue, no, no, the concubine can't do it~

Guan Shanyue quickly jumped off the table, walked quickly to Yu Jian's side, pressed her shoulders forcibly, and made her face everyone, and then said stiffly: "Put away those scrutiny eyes of yours! , don’t scare my apprentice.”

Someone with a good relationship raised eyebrows and joked: "Is this a closed disciple?"

Guan Shanyue stroked her beard, and said complacently: "That's not it!" Then she glanced at everyone with disdain, "My apprentice is not ordinary, Yu Qiming, the imperial chef of the Qing Palace, knows it? He is his great-great-great-grandfather!"

"Yu Qiming?" Some people didn't believe it, they stepped forward and whispered to Guan Shanyue, and looked at Yu Jian from time to time.

After talking to Guan Shanyue for a few words, he reluctantly nodded and said to the others: "Since you are from a family of culinary arts, you are naturally qualified to talk to us, Lao Li, please make arrangements. Bring a copy of gourd chicken from each family, and let's verify it on the spot!"

At this time, the organizer finally had a place to use, and squeezed to the front with tears in his eyes, sweating profusely in this winter: "Everyone, I have made arrangements a long time ago, and it happens to be almost dinner time, let's move Bu restaurant?" I don't know what's going on, every time this seminar is his turn to host, these old scholars, they are all antiques walking in Huaxia, where can't they be served?But every time he came back, he would argue over trivial matters, and he was frightened as he watched from the sidelines, so he couldn't catch his breath...

Bah bah bah bah!You can't say such unlucky words!
……

The gourd chickens of the four established restaurants have their own strengths and appearances, but without exception, they all have a refreshing aroma that entices people to saliva.

"Look at the color, the color is golden red, it tastes delicious!"

"Look at the shape, it really stands upright like a gourd, it's wonderful!"

"Look at this..."

Hearing the organizer's hard-fought sweat break out again, he begged everyone for mercy with his fists in his hands: "I beg you, please take a seat first, Professor Guan hired a judge!"

When cooking gourd chicken, you need to take a whole chicken of the right size. The size of the chicken is very important, and it must be a broiler chicken. Looking at it this way, one family will be eliminated first.

Yu Jian removed a plate first under the watchful eyes of everyone, which caused a gasp of dissatisfaction.She ignored it and continued watching with a smile.

Let me tell you first, gourd chicken uses three different cooking methods, so the heat is very important, the meat is rotten and the bones are off, and the chopsticks can be poked to the bottom, but the rot does not disperse.The chopsticks went down and another plate was removed.

In the remaining two plates, there was a chicken head standing upright. Yu Jian took a second look, but felt that the chicken had a beautiful posture. Although it was a little different from the gourd, it was indeed much better looking than the original one.

The quality of a dish lies in its taste.Yu Jian each picked chicken breasts and put them in her mouth. The skin was crispy and the chicken was tender but not overcooked. It was excellent.Then dipped in the special dry ingredients, the freshness and fragrance are delicious, and the unique spicy feeling of spices emerges endlessly in the mouth, which is another flavor.

In the end, Yu Jian voted for Angli Gourd Chicken, which is beautiful in posture and unique in taste. This made the supporters of Xishi Restaurant proud, and their attitude towards Yu Jian was much more amiable. .

The other families gave up, slapped the table, pointed at Yu Jian and said, "Tell me, why is his family number one?"

Yu Jian turned her gaze to Guan Shanyue, only to see him nod his head slightly, and then he said, "The origin of gourd chicken is clearer than me. The chickens are small and heavy. The first dish It is unqualified in terms of weight, the chicken is too big, and the meat will naturally be burnt."

Those who didn’t believe it tried it by themselves, “Sure enough, the meat from this family tastes a bit duller than the other three.”

Yu Jian added: "The ingredients on this second plate are very good, but the cooking is overcooked, the meat is too rotten, and it tastes more like minced meat."

Someone else nodded.

"As for why I chose this plate as the leader, apart from the shape, I gave points to the dry ingredients on this plate. During the Tang Dynasty, most of the spices were tributes from foreign regions, but peppers did not enter China until the Ming Dynasty. Tang people's spicy The taste is mostly pepper and garlic. The chicken doesn't have too much flavor, but it can stimulate the most original fragrance when dipped in a dry dish. Although the dry ingredients in this dish are very spicy, they don't use chili. It follows the Tang system. We chose the most authentic gourd chicken today, so I will definitely choose it." Yu Jian held the dry ingredients plate and slowly poured out the dry ingredients inside. Sure enough, there was not a single piece of chili crushed in it. .

When you smell it carefully, you can smell the peppery and prickly ash, and you really can't smell the chili.

Guan Shanyue observed all the expressions on the scene, and laughed, "You child, why did you say it all at once, and you don't save face for others."

When I heard this, I wanted to do something again.Yu Jian smiled happily, and tried to hold back her smile, but couldn't suppress the smile in her eyes, "False, false, it can't be true."

Guan Shanyue then asked the others: "What? Is my apprentice right or wrong?!"

It has to be said that he loves Yu Jian for a reason.The same disciple, if it was Lin Fengxu, his eyes would be blackened, and he would grab Guan Shanyue's sleeve and wail: "Teacher, I think it's all delicious—" Not to mention that he can cite evidence, Say the key point.

This comparison made him feel uncomfortable at the old juncture, and he looked at Lin Fengxu more and more unkindly. Why did he have a twitch at that time, and chose such an apprentice? ?

Lin Fengxu: ... Teacher, you are a professor of history, and my professional knowledge is also very good!
There are also people who are dissatisfied. Huang Feng is an authentic Xishi native. The gourd chicken he grew up from snacks to growing up is from Tongshenglou, and his father, his father's father are both loyal fans of Tongshenglou.

He looked at the little girl in front of him with a sullen old face, and snorted a few times: "What do you know?! It seems that you have eaten gourd chicken from the Tang Dynasty, so you dare to speak nonsense here!"

Now, not only Guan Shanyue's face turned cold, but everyone else frowned. Although they were arguing endlessly, it was actually a small fight to add some fun to life, and no one would really take it to heart .

Huang Feng's move really made them all stunned for a moment, and they felt that their old faces were a bit awkward, this... can't afford to lose?
Just as she was about to comfort the little girl and find another step for Lao Huang, Yu Jian unexpectedly said, "Professor, how do you know that I haven't eaten real gourd chicken? Not only have I eaten, I Can still make-"

A gleam of joy flashed across Guan Shanyue's eyes, and a smile appeared on her originally stern face, as expected of the little apprentice she fancied.

Then I heard the little girl say crisply: "Do you want to experience the gourd chicken from Dongtu Datang?"

The squinted corners of his eyes looked like a little fox that was stealing fish...
