Chapter 477: Autumn Yun Yellow Braised Chicken Rice

"Autumn, autumn rhyme, what kind of dishes can better reflect the charm of autumn? And if it's too simple, it's estimated that you will be deducted points...... "Wang Yong walked in the hunting ground and saw a group of deer from afar, and it was very good to tonify venison in autumn and winter......

"Roast venison...... White fungus prince stewed venison...... Venison with seasonal vegetables...... Stewed venison with three ginseng...... Tomato steamed venison ......" Wang Yong tilted his head, and suddenly something flew by.

I thought it was a bird, but after a closer look, I found out that it was not, it was actually a flower-tailed hazel chicken! Slow, remember that this thing is in China, and most of it is distributed in the northeast region, and it is rumored that it is distributed in a small amount in Hebei, but there is one in Xuchang, isn't it too?!

Even though this is a hunting ground and some wild animals can be raised, the presence of the flower-tailed hazel pheasant here still gives him a messy feeling. And at this time, the chick seemed to have found a companion and foraged for food with a dozen other hazelnut chickens.

"There's still a tribe?!" Wang Yong was speechless, although the flower-tailed hazelnut chicken in later generations also began to be gradually domesticated and artificially reproduced, but it appeared in Henan from the northeast, which is still a little unacceptable.

But when you think about it, I don't think it's a strange thing. I remember reading a document before, saying that in the pre-Qin period, there were rhinoceros all over the country, and by the Three Kingdoms period, only a few areas of Shennongjia and Qinling were left in the northern part of the Yangtze River. There are also many areas in Jiangnan. It wasn't until the end of the Qing Dynasty that rhinos in China were truly extinct.

Rhino horn cups and rhino horn carvings are also ancient, not necessarily foreign.

Since there are rhinos, it is not surprising that there will be hazel chickens, but I don't know if there are hazel mushrooms, if there is, it is also a good choice to directly have a chicken stew with mushrooms! By the way, this dish is also very in line with the topic of autumn rhyme!

Thinking of this, Wang Yong immediately leaned over cautiously, picked up a few stones on the road, and when he was close to the group of hazelnut chickens, he threw the stones out suddenly.

"My lord, are these chicks?" Wen Ming looked at these hazelnut chickens, "Isn't it a little smaller?" ”

"No, they're that big." Wang Yong shook his head, "It's not a young chicken, it's a hazel chicken!" The dishes for this exam, the main ingredient is to choose them! Let's keep looking and see if we can find a matching mushroom! ”

"Can mushrooms still be matched?" It was the first time Wen Ming had heard this statement.

"Autumn! It's a good time to eat mushrooms, and speaking of which, last year was about this time, and I came over with Your Majesty. Wang Yong was a little emotional, he also roasted matsutake mushrooms at that time, and he was very happy to eat them, but he was not happy the next day.

"Well, it's been a year in the blink of an eye......" Wen Ming nodded, he still knew the relationship between Wang Yong and His Majesty. This is not the daughter of the two of them, they are more than four months old.

After a pause, he continued to ask, "But what kind of mushrooms do you need?" ”

"I want to think about it...... Wang Yong began to think about it, and thanks to his good memory, he was still able to remember some, "It seems to be...... Umbrella-shaped, pale earthy yellow, tan after old age...... Forget it, if you really can't find it, it's not bad to find some matsutake mushrooms......"

I remember that in the previous life, hazelnut mushrooms were also distributed in the north, northeast, Qinghai and Gansu, Sichuan and Guangxi seem to be also distributed, and Hebei seems to have them, the question is whether there is a ...... here in Henan Who knows?!

"The smell of matsutake mushrooms is strong, will it mask the taste of hazelnut chicken?" Wen Ming still knows a little bit about it.

"That's dried matsutake mushrooms, and if you have fresh matsutake mushrooms, you can just refine the sweetness of the hazelnut chicken!" Wang Yong replied.

Wen Ming nodded, and then followed Wang Yong everywhere to look for matsutake mushrooms, and found that there were many footprints under many pine trees, and there were traces of excavation on the ground.

"This excavation method is not very kind...... Wang Yong looked at it, such an excavation method, matsutake mushrooms will not grow here in the future, almost digging three feet into the ground, and all spores have been dug up.

Chefs cook all things in the world, and at the same time, they also benefit from all things in heaven and earth. A real chef will have a sense of gratitude for the ingredients he has given him a bite to eat, and at the same time, he thinks that only in this way will the cooked food be more delicious.

Maybe it's a bit metaphysical, but in fact, it has something to do with the field of special chefs, the kind of taste that belongs to you. A strong idea allows the chef to cook more carefully, so that the quality of the ingredients is preserved to the maximum, and even the flavor beyond the original quality is brought out under the chef's cooking skills.

And what is not in the heart is often step-by-step and shoddy, and the result is that even if it is made completely according to the recipe, the flavor and texture are very different from those cooked by top chefs.

"It's just that the matsutake mushrooms have been almost picked, and there are only some old mushrooms that have been more than three or four days old, and if you use this thing to stew soup, it is estimated that you will be deducted points......" Wen Ming looked left and right, and looked for a long time, but he didn't see any fresh matsutake mushrooms.

Of course, of course, the hazelnut mushroom that Wang Yong asked for was not found, but when he saw some mushrooms, it seemed that the other party couldn't look down on it.

"Mushrooms...... It's not as good as hazelnut mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms, but the crispy and sweet texture makes it perfect for stewed chicken. Wang Yong muttered for a moment, and then he saw a tree not far away, "Slow, follow me!" ”

The two walked more than 200 meters and came to a tree, or several trees around, all of which were chestnut trees. The chestnut fruit with long thorns on the top has cracked, revealing the brown chestnut inside.

"Chestnut ...... Chestnut stewed chicken is also pretty good...... Wait, why do I have to stew chicken? Wang Yong thought about it and began to ponder, a dish began to form in his mind.

"Wen Ming, help me, get some chestnuts down, you don't need more, about half a catty to about a catty!" Wang Yong immediately commanded, and then began to climb the tree.

"Okay!" Wen Ming nodded and began to get busy, the two of them spent half an hour to pick about a pound of chestnuts, and then spent more than ten minutes to pick mushrooms, and finally picked some red peppers and green peppers in the specially cultivated field, and then returned to the rest area.

Other chefs have already started cooking, and unsurprisingly, most of them are matsutake mushrooms, a sweet, fragrant and delicious ingredient that has become the go-to choice. In addition, there was venison and fish, and the young deer of the deer, but the fish was a black fish.

In addition, there are other ingredients, and there are people who choose hazel chicken like him. It seems that each of these high-level chefs has extraordinary knowledge. Purely in terms of the selection of ingredients, it is impossible to say who is better.

If you really want to distinguish the winner or loser, it depends on the result of subsequent cooking. And on this, the one who goes up first must have the advantage. The judges waited for three hours, hungry, and whoever went first would definitely get a good evaluation. The longer the time passes, the more the judges eat, and the natural change from delicious to quality, and the requirements begin to be stricter.

No, one or two are racing against time, and they are very busy!

"My lord, what are we going to cook?" Wen Ming couldn't help but ask when he saw the ingredients Wang Yong brought back.

"Braised chicken rice!" Wang Yong smiled, "Let's not talk about these things first, help deal with the materials!" ”
