Chapter 736 [Phoenix Clothes]
After learning about [Dragon and Phoenix Banquet], Hao Libao found a new goal in life.
That is the restoration of the [Dragon and Phoenix Banquet], one of the four major banquets.
To this end, he searched for relevant information everywhere and investigated in many ways, but he still had no clue.
Due to the war, a large amount of information was destroyed. The information he found in other places was not even as comprehensive as the information he found in the capital.
After so many years, he still only knows the five dishes in the "Dragon and Phoenix Banquet".
Until Wang Tian found him with the menu Li Yi had laid out.
When he saw the menu, his first reaction was: this is fake.
Because he has been looking for it for so many years, but he has never seen such a complete [Dragon and Phoenix Feast] menu.
In the past, he had only been satisfied if he could find the complete menu for the next banquet.
But this time, a complete and clear menu from the main banquet to the second banquet suddenly appeared in front of him, which made him a little unbelievable.
Did happiness come so suddenly?
Therefore, he wanted to verify the authenticity of the menu at the first moment.
But after studying it carefully, he was surprised to find that the menu seemed to be somewhat real!
Because the order of serving [Oolong Tuzhu] was exactly the same as recorded in the information he found.
So, in order to verify the authenticity of this menu, he chose to participate in this show and even agreed to bring his team with him.
Because this is the information he has been looking for for many years, even if there is only a glimmer of hope that it is true, he does not want to miss it.
Hearing his question, Li Yi smiled and did not explain. He just raised his hand and said, "Master Hao, can you help me bring that paper curtain?"
Hearing this, Hao Libao looked back in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, he saw a wooden frame like a shallow wooden box, but in the center was a bamboo curtain made of bamboo strips.
He took the wooden frame over and handed it to Li Yi. He paused before asking, "What is this for?"
Li Yi did not answer, but he had already answered his question.
Hao Libao could understand that the inheritance of this top-notch banquet could not be easily disclosed to outsiders.
So, he did not ask further questions, but planned to judge for himself based on Li Yi's actual operation.
“Paper curtain, used for papermaking in ancient times.”
Li Yi patted the wooden frame and explained casually: "This is called a curtain bed, or a curtain frame, which is the frame that supports the curtain.
The curtain inside is made of bamboo strips and is used to catch paper. "
Listening to Li Yi's explanation, Hao Libao was a little confused: "You want to make paper?"
“No, I want to cook.”
As Li Yi spoke, he stretched the paper curtain and put it into the bamboo shoot paste soup that was stirred evenly in the basin. When he fished it out from the middle, a layer of light gray paste soup came out.
The water in the paper curtain quickly flowed down the cracks in the curtain, leaving only a thin layer of fiber.
When this layer of fiber strands dries, it will become a piece of paper.
Looking at Li Yi's operation, Hao Libao became even more confused: "Are you going to use paper to cook?"
Seeing the confused look on his face, the audience in the live broadcast room became happy.
“Haha! Didn’t you expect that? Brother Yi’s cooking is so eclectic.”
“Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Brother Yi has already used ingredients to make pens, this time it’s his turn to make paper.”
After finishing one layer of fish, Li Yi removed the curtain and replaced it with a new one, explaining at the same time: "[Phoenix Clothes] is a dish that, to put it bluntly, is paper-wrapped chicken fried in a pan.
But this paper must be made of bamboo shoots. When fried, the bamboo shoot paper will absorb the aroma of the chicken and taste like meat. It is considered a Kung Fu dish! "
“Is that so?”
He had never heard of this way of cooking. But can bamboo shoots really be made into paper?
Wrapping chicken in bamboo paper and frying it, will it be delicious?
Hao Libao was confused, but he also became more and more curious about Li Yi’s [Dragon and Phoenix Banquet] menu.
While scooping up bamboo shoot fibers, Li Yi asked: "What are the five dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation you mentioned?"
“[Oolong spits out pearls], [Golden dragon offers blessings], [Explodes dragon beard], [Ginseng stews white phoenix], [Dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness].”
Hao Libao named the five dishes without thinking.
These five dishes have been cooked by him countless times and he is already familiar with them.
The so-called [Oolong Tuzhu] is to stuff meat with sea cucumbers and quail eggs, steam them in a pot, and then pour the boiled abalone juice on top.
【Golden Dragon Xianfu】is a dish similar to squirrel mandarin fish, but it uses carp. When fried, it must be shaped so that the head and tail of the fish are raised, and there is a pearl in the mouth of the fish.
[Broken Dragon Beard] actually uses carp fish whiskers to make dishes, but the amount used must be at least a thousand.
【Ginseng and White Phoenix Stewed】It is simpler, just use ginseng and astragalus to stew pigeons.
The other name of the pigeon is Bai Feng, but it must be a pigeon with pure white feathers.
And [Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang] is a dish made with Yellow River carp and chicken.
To make this dish, first dry-bake the head and tail of the Yellow River carp and place them on both ends. Then the chicken is made into crispy chicken, the fish is made into kung pao diced fish, fish slices, fish strips with tomato and river fish curd. , placed between the head and tail.
These five dishes either have luxurious ingredients or complicated methods. None of them are easy to make.
But compared with the [Phoenix Clothes] mentioned by Li Yi, these five dishes seem to be less difficult.
Hearing the names of the five dishes he mentioned, Li Yi nodded: "These five dishes are relatively simple, no wonder they have been passed down."
Hearing this, Hao Libao couldn't help but laugh: "Compared with the [Phoenix Clothes] you mentioned, it is indeed simple, but is this [Phoenix Clothes] really included in the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet?"
Li Yi still smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Hao Libao was a little anxious.
However, he is still a little patient even though he is dozens of years old.
Changing his approach, he asked again: "In this dragon and phoenix banquet, which dish do you think is the most difficult to cook?"
Li Yi also said without thinking: "It must be cramps peeling off the skin, crushing the bones and sucking out the marrow."
Hao Libao was surprised when he heard this: "This is also a dish in the Dragon and Phoenix Banquet? Why did it get such a name?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "This is what I call it. In fact, these are four dishes, which also correspond to the four parts of the dragon's body, namely dragon tendons, dragon skin, dragon bones, and dragon marrow."
"Wait a minute."
Hao Libao was a little hesitant: "You mean, to make these four dishes, these four parts of the dragon's body need to be used?"
"right."
Li Yi nodded.
“But dragons don’t exist?”
Hao Libao felt like his brain cells were burning.
“The dragon has no form and is ever-changing. There are too many dragons in the world.”
Li Yi smiled and made a joke.
In the live broadcast room, after hearing his words, the audience also started making fun of him with barrages.
“Yes, I saw dragons when I was a child, and they were all one dragon!”
“Dragon does exist. I was served by one two days ago.”
"In fact, dragons exist. An eel becomes a snake, a snake becomes a python, a python becomes a dragon, a dragon becomes a dragon, a dragon becomes a king, the king of kings, ham sausage, one section is better than six sections, jelly I choose Xizhilang, Xizhilang , it’s unusual, Marco Polo is like a ceramic tile, it can stick to the wall or the floor, only with great strength can miracles happen!”
