Chapter 453 The Secret
When he woke up the next day, Chu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he started to laugh at himself.

I didn't expect this amusement park to be so fun. It seems that my childhood life did lack a lot of fun.

Today is a very important day, that is, I can see a legendary dish, delicacies made from bear paws.

It is said that this dish was very popular in the palace at that time. Later, due to the strong request of the princes, it was spread from the palace.

But not every prince can eat this dish. It is said that only the top ones can win this honor.

After breakfast, Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing went to Master Mi's shop. Today, in order to make this dish, Master Mi was closed for a day, so except for the four of them, there was not even a waiter in the shop.

The main reason for doing this is so that I can concentrate on watching Mr. Li cooking this dish. Secondly, I also know that Mr. Li doesn't like people to watch when he is cooking.

If there are too many people, Mr. Li won't like the chattering, and Master Mi doesn't want others to know about this dish.

After all, this is Mr. Li's specialty. He doesn't even show it, let alone let people know about it, so clearing the place is a must.

"Here we are, let's get started!" Mr. Li and Master Mi also just arrived. As soon as they finished speaking, Master Mi couldn't wait to take out a plastic bag from the refrigerator.

Although it was placed in a bag, Chu Yunfeng could still clearly see the black fur and pointed claws.

Real bear paws!

After Master Mi took it out, he rinsed it with water and put it on the vegetable pile for Mr. Li to check.

It was also the first time for Mu Qing to see bear paws, and she covered her mouth with a little fear. The long claws, thick calluses, and dense black hair seemed to have a hint of terror.

You can imagine its power. If it were hit with such a palm, it would have to have a force of 1 ton, and the person would be knocked away by it.

Mu Qing's guess was almost correct. A full blow from an adult bear would have a force close to 2 tons. It was definitely powerful enough to break the spine, which was very terrifying.

"Well, the paw of an adult bear is good, not bad!" Mr. Li picked up the bear paw and looked it over before nodding in approval.

"Mr. Li, how did you tell?" Master Mi asked humbly.

Previously, Mr. Li told him to buy adult bear paws, and the older the better. If he couldn't buy them, he might as well not buy them.

The curiosity in my heart has been suppressed until now, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't ask clearly.

"The reason why this bear's paw was listed as one of the "Eight Ancient Treasures" in ancient times is because this palm is particularly rich in nutrients, and only one palm has the best effect. Do you know which one it is?"

Mr. Li's words made everyone confused. Is there any difference between the left palm and the right palm?

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Mr. Li said with a smile: "This is related to the habits of bears. In winter, bears will hibernate.

At this time, it makes a living by licking its palms, and the fluid and gelatin in the palms seeps into the palms. This is one of the reasons why bear paws are rich in nutrients.

The right front palm is particularly plump due to frequent licking, and is known as "Leu Ya You Jade", so it is regarded as top grade. "

"I see. No wonder you asked me to buy an adult bear paw before, and it must be the right paw. I don't understand the reason until now."

Master Mi suddenly realized that without the guidance of people like Mr. Li, he would never understand these things. These are valuable experiences.

"How much did this bear paw cost?" Mr. Li asked.

"1200 US dollars, the price of the left palm is around 800 US dollars." Master Mi said after thinking about the price.

Mr. Li shook his head after hearing this. He seemed to think that the price was a bit expensive, but there was only one legal place to taste it, so there was nothing he could do about it.

Chu Yunfeng thought more deeply than Mr. Li. This one costs 1200 US dollars. If it is synthesized through the system, according to the ordinary 1:2 ratio, wouldn't it cost 2400 US dollars?

It’s almost 2 yuan, and it’s just as big as a “collagen” palm
Mr. Li is like a living dictionary of gourmet food, there are so many things to know, Chu Yunfeng will not waste this opportunity, first ask what he wants to know before talking.

"Mr. Li, there is also a saying about the Eight Treasures in this Manchu-Han banquet. Please tell me about it."

Chu Yunfeng actually wanted to ask about Mapo Tofu. This matter was very crucial to him and was the key to solving a big question in his mind.

That is the question of thickening or not thickening!
Before, Mr. Li arranged to visit the store by himself, and he probably had this intention, but now Mr. Li talked about Bazhen, which was also something Chu Yunfeng was interested in.

I’ll have to wait and ask about Mapo Tofu later.

"Yes, the Manchu-Han banquet does have eight treasures, and it is divided into four eight treasures, namely mountain treasures, sea treasures, bird treasures and grass treasures."

How can it be divided into such fine details?
Chu Yunfeng also heard President Hou say something casually before, but he didn't expect that it was just a big category, and there were so many ways below.

"The eight treasures of this mountain are divided into: camel hump, bear paw, monkey brain, orangutan lip, elephant dial (nose), leopard fetus, rhinoceros tail and deer sinew.

The eight delicacies of the sea are bird's nest, shark's fin, black ginseng, fish maw, fish bones, abalone, seal and pike.

The eight rare birds are divided into red swallows, flying dragons, quails, swans, partridges, colorful sparrows, turtle doves and red-headed eagles.

The eight kinds of grass are divided into Hericium, Tremella, Dictyophora, Donkey's nest mushroom, Morel, Flower mushroom, Day lily and Yuxiangxin. "

Mr. Li talked eloquently and eloquently, which made Chu Yunfeng sigh that he was indeed a living dictionary. He must ask Mr. Li for advice when he had nothing to do.

Especially some secret palace dishes, Mr. Li might know some of them.

Master Mi seemed to want to ask more questions, but Mr. Li said to start working first and ask questions later.

“The smell of bear paws is very strong, so the most critical step in making this dish is to remove the smell. If this step is not done well, any dish made from bear paws will fail.

This is the secret to making bear paw dishes!

In the past, the master chef could cook four dishes related to bear paws, but I can only cook one dish of braised bear paws. However, I heard that in Beijing,
Okay, I’m going to start now and I won’t say anything more. Just watch if you want to. "

Although Mr. Li said he would not speak again, judging from his previous tone, Chu Yunfeng could actually feel the sincere care and support.

Although he didn't know how Mr. Li's tough attitude changed, but suddenly, Chu Yunfeng felt very honored to be recognized by a cooking master like Mr. Li.

Next to the cutting board were some auxiliary ingredients for making this dish. Chu Yunfeng took a quick look and saw that the most common ingredients were green onions and ginger. It seemed that the main ingredients for removing the fishy smell should be these two spices.

Next is a native chicken, a native duck, and a stick bone. These should be the ingredients for making soup stock.

Mr. Li is on the move! ! !
