There are many restaurants in Yangcheng, and many of them are even more famous.

What Zhong Yuli took Jiang Yang and the others to was a very famous restaurant in Yangcheng - Yangcheng Restaurant!

On the table, Zhong Yuli ordered a full table of dishes. He was not worried about wasting it. Although there were many kinds of dishes, the portion was very small. The three old men could finish it.

"I won't say what happened today, thank you." Zhong Yuli said with a wine.

Jiang Yang held a tea ceremony: "Don't say these things, they are all friends, it's too disgusting to say it."

"Haha, okay! Then I'll do it first!" Zhong Yuli said.

Min Jiaxin didn't say a word and looked worried.

"Jiaxin, do you have any worries?" Zhong Yu asked after leaving.

"No, no." Min Jiaxin shook his head.

Zhong Yuli didn't ask for it himself, and asked the child later when he went privately.

"Brother Jiang, you have to eat and drink today!" Zhong Yuli smiled.

"The food is pretty good, don't worry." Jiang Yang smiled.

The two were laughing and talking, when the waiter brought a dish.

The dish is light yellow and bright in color, with a layer of sauce on it. Chicken slices, ham slices, and chicken liver slices are separated and built into fish scales on the upper plate, along with the chicken head, wings and tail, it forms the original shape of the chicken.

Jiang Yang could see at a glance that the chicken was cut into a complete chicken and arranged. Add ham slices, chicken liver slices, and three colors of ingredients to each other.

This dish is the famous Cantonese dish - Wenchang Chicken!

"Come on, Brother Jiang, try this Wenchang chicken and see if it suits your appetite." Zhong Yuli said in Jiangyang bowl with a piece of chicken.

Jiang Yang did not refuse and tasted it. The skin was thin and the flesh was tender, the fragrance was very strong, and it was fat but not greasy.

The aroma of ham and the freshness of chicken blend into each other, giving this dish a unique and wonderful taste.

The dishes look light all day long, without heavy-tasting condiments such as chili and pepper.

But when eaten in your mouth, it is indeed full of fragrance and rich in taste.

The deliciousness of the chicken itself is fully expressed and exquisitely. The heavy taste of the ham complements the chicken. It is the pinnacle of taste enjoyment with the soaked chicken liver.

"Delicious! It is worthy of being one of the top ten famous dishes in Cantonese cuisine." Jiang Yang exclaimed.

There are many famous chicken dishes, and Jiangyang has also eaten a famous state banquet dish in Xingcheng - Dong'an Chicken!

Both are famous chicken dishes, but the taste is different. Dong'an chicken is a roasted chicken dish that emphasizes sourness, spicyness and beauty; Wenchang chicken is different, and the recipe of Wenchang chicken is more complex and has rich texture.

There is no distinction between the two dishes, such as spring flowers and autumn chrysanthemums, each with its own beauty.

Zhong Yuli has a deep understanding of food. Although he can't cook, he can be considered an expert in eating.

When he was traveling, he played a guest appearance as a food critic and earned some spare money.

"Does Brother Jiang know about this Wenchang chicken?" Zhong Yuli asked.

Jiang Yang naturally knew about Wenchang chicken. After all, it was a famous dish among Cantonese cuisine, so he naturally heard of it.

However, Jiang Yang shook his head and said, "I know, but I don't know much."

Zhong Yuli smiled and said, "This Wenchang chicken is a signature dish at Yangcheng Restaurant. It is said that this dish was created by a chef at Yangcheng Restaurant back then."

When Jiang Yang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? Is that right?"

"Haha, of course, it is said that after the chef of Yangcheng Restaurant created this dish, it caused a great sensation. At that time, Yangcheng Restaurant became the most famous restaurant in Yangcheng at that time. Later, it was also inherited in an orderly manner and has been the signature dish of Yangcheng Restaurant until today." Zhong Yuli said.

"It's a pity that I didn't know how genius he was able to create such a dish at first sight." Jiang Yang sighed.

"Do you know the origin of this Wenchang chicken?" Zhong Yuli asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Yang shook his head.

"Legends say that in the Ming Dynasty, a Wenchang man became an official in the capital. After returning home, he brought a few chickens to the emperor. When the emperor ate them, hey, this chicken was good! So he exclaimed: The chicken was born in the country of culture, with outstanding people and strong land, prosperous culture, and sweet chickens, which is really the Wenchang chicken! Later, this Wenchang chicken was named after this and became famous all over the world." Zhong Yuli told the allusion of the Wenchang chicken.

"Oh? There is such an allusion in this Wenchang chicken?" Jiang Yang said in surprise.

"What's so strange about this? If you look for any dish that can be named in China, you will find allusions. As for whether this is true, it was added by later generations to make the dishes look more grand, so I don't know." Zhong Yuli said with a smile.

"Yes, the allusions of this dish are different in every place. Maybe if you summarize them carefully, there may not be several versions." Jiang Yang nodded.

Jiang Yang remembered a dish - Zhucheng Rice Noodle! There are many allusions in this dish, including myths and legends, historical allusions, and folk adaptations.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yang couldn't help but smile. It seemed that this packaging of dishes was not just modern talents.

The recipe for Wenchang chicken is complicated, and it is many times more difficult than dry fried Niuhe. Jiang Yang has read the recipe for Wenchang chicken online, but the taste he made is completely different from the taste made by this Yangcheng Restaurant.

Wenchang chicken material selection language to choose high-quality Wenchang local chicken, plus chicken liver and appropriate amount of ham.

The cooking method is as follows: slaughter the Wenchang chicken, put it in a slightly boiling second soup pot and soak it over low heat for about 15 minutes until it is just cooked. After taking it out and let it cool, remove the bones, and cut it into a total of 24 pieces in a long shape.

While soaking the chicken, wash the chicken liver and put it in a bowl and soak it in boiling water. Add fine salt and soak until it is freshly cooked. Take it out and cut it into 24 slices and serve it in a bowl.

Cut the ham into slices of the same size as chicken and a total of 24 pieces.

Separate the chicken slices, ham slices and chicken liver slices on the upper plate to form a fish scale, and arrange the chicken head, wings and tail into the original shape of the chicken.

Put it into the chicken shape and put it in a steamer and steam it over low heat and take it out, and decant the water.

Heat the wok over medium heat, add oil, cook 5 grams of rice wine, add soup and MSG, and dilute and thicken with wet starch.

Finally add sesame oil and push well, drizzle it on the chicken.

The steps seem not difficult, but only after actual operation, the difficulties are known.

If the knife skills are not good, the chicken will not be perfect in the end.

Besides, when soaking boiling water, it tests the heat. When the ingredients are just right, it cannot be completed without a deep heat skill.

The other is the platter, which is also one of the chef's skills. A dish is fragrant and delicious. Without a good platter, the dishes will never be as elegant as the dishes.

Therefore, this dish has very high requirements for the chef's craftsmanship and is almost comprehensive.

After thinking about this, Jiang Yang smiled and continued to taste this Wenchang chicken.

"This time the Wenchang chicken seems to be more delicious than before." Zhong Yuli muttered.

Jiang Yang didn't hear what Zhong Yuli said, and he was immersed in this dish with all his body and mind.

...

Liang De was guiding Feng Shaoming and said, "Do you understand how to do the Wenchang chicken just now?"

Feng Shaoming nodded and said, "I understand."

"That's good." Liang De nodded. He had no doubt about Feng Shaoming's talent at all. It can be said that Feng Shaoming is the best chef he has ever seen, and he may surpass him in the future!
