A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Facing their initiative to ask for a job, Li Yi ordered without looking back: "Mai Mai go to chop the garlic, and Xiao Lei go to boil the pot of water.

Brother Xiao Ming, go and get some peppers, wash them and bring them to me. They are the kind of thin-skinned green peppers that I asked Xiao Lu to buy. "

"I know."

Huang Xiaoming responded: "I have eaten it, and the soul of Zaozhuang spicy chicken is the thin-skinned pepper."

After arranging tasks for them, Li Yi also grabbed the rooster that Xiao Lu bought back from the cage.

"Cluck!"

The rooster was full of life and was still crowing after being caught.

Li Yi grabbed the base of its wings with one hand, then freed his thumb and index finger to pinch its comb, exposing its neck.

After that, Li Yi plucked the hair under its throat, revealing the chicken skin underneath.

He took a small bowl, then took a knife, and with one stroke, wiped the cock's neck.

Putting down the knife, he grabbed the rooster's struggling paws and picked it up backwards, causing the blood of the rooster to flow into the bowl.

Wu Lei filled the pot with water and turned on the stove.

Looking back at the rooster in Li Yi's hand, Wu Lei joked: "Brother Yi, are you trying to make an alliance with blood?"

"What kind of blood do you drink, are you not afraid of infection?"

Li Yi smiled without explaining.

Rooster blood is a good thing for tonifying yang and nourishing blood. He plans to make half of it into blood and half into chicken blood noodles, and send it to Liu Yifei later.

"Is this the pepper?"

Huang Xiaoming found the pepper in the storage room, but he was a little uncertain, so he took it out and showed it to Li Yi.

Seeing Li Yi nod his head, he returned to the sink with the chili peppers and started cleaning them.

"Finally cooking the dishes of my hometown."

Huang Xiaoming swallowed while washing, "The fried chicken in Lu Province is really delicious, and everyone can cook it."

Zhao Jinmai was chopping garlic aside, and joked: "Brother Xiaoming, isn't your family from Qingdao? Shouldn't you eat seafood from childhood?"

"We don't eat seafood all the time, do we?"

Huang Xiaoming explained with a smile: "We also often eat chicken, there is a dish called crispy chicken, the chicken is marinated first, and then fried.

Order one when drinking beer, especially with wine. "

"No wonder you drink so well, it's because you ate crispy chicken."

Zhao Jinmai was joking.

"of course."

Huang Xiaoming smiled, and then signaled: "Next time I have a chance, I will take you to my hometown for a beer."

"Ha Beer, eat clams!"

Zhao Jinmai imitated Qingdao's accent.

"It's eating Gala."

Huang Xiaoming corrected it, and said with a smile: "Gala also serves wine specially."

Zhao Jinmai asked with a smile: "So all the dishes in Qingdao exist for drinking?"

Huang Xiaoming was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed himself: "Haha! It seems to be true!"

While speaking, the boiling water has boiled.

Li Yi put the chicken into the basin, scalded it with boiling water, and pulled out all the hairs.

Chicken feathers are much easier to pluck than duck feathers, except that there are more hairs on the head of the chicken, and the hairs on other parts can be pulled out after being scalded.

The feathers on the chicken's head can also be scratched with fingernails to pull them out little by little.

Seeing Li Yi carefully pluck the chicken's head, Wu Lei stepped forward and asked, "Do you still want to pluck the chicken's head? Is it okay to just throw it away?"

"Why did you lose it?"

Li Yi asked casually without raising his head.

"Why don't you lose it?"

Wu Lei asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

"Of course."

Li Yi also plucked the hair off the chicken's earholes: "The chicken head is so delicious, why don't you eat it?"

As he spoke, he picked up the fat comb: "Such a thick comb has a great taste."

"ah?"

Wu Lei twitched the corner of his mouth: "My family never eats chicken heads. It seems that chicken heads contain heavy metals and cannot be eaten."

"All nonsense."

Li Yi didn't take it seriously: "The ancients have eaten chicken heads for thousands of years, and I haven't heard of anyone being poisoned by heavy metals."

Hearing Li Yi's words, Huang Xiaoming raised his head and said, "I've also heard the saying that the chicken head is poisonous, and it seems that you can't eat it after ten years. It's said that the chicken head is as good as the arsenic in ten years."

"That's falsehood."

Li Yi explained: "People used to think that chickens often eat centipedes, and some centipedes are poisonous, and the toxins will gather on the heads of chickens.

Later, some people said that chickens often eat in the soil, and there will be heavy metals in the body, which will also accumulate on the head.

But as long as you have studied biology, you will know that the detoxification organ of most animals is the liver, such as puffer fish.

The same goes for chicken.

If heavy metals accumulate in chickens, they should also accumulate in the liver and other internal organs.

Even if it spreads into the muscles, it cannot reach the head.

The head has a brain, and if the brain is destroyed, you will die on the spot.

So if the liver can be eaten, then there is no need to worry about the chicken head. "

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Huang Xiaoming suddenly realized: "So this is also a rumor?"

Wu Lei also patted his forehead: "That's right! The liver is the detoxification organ. I actually believe such outrageous rumors."

Zhao Jinmai was listening and asked curiously: "Then why do you say that chicken heads compete with arsenic in ten years? Could it have something to do with the time of breeding?"

"The average chicken can't be raised for ten years."

Li Yi put the plucked chicken in the pool, opened its belly, and took out the offal: "Chickens don't last for six years, dogs don't last for eight years, and chickens are very old after six years. years, which is about the same as the human life of 120 years.

The meat of that kind of chicken is so bad that I wouldn't even eat it if I was offered it, isn't it similar to arsenic? "

"Haha! It seems to be the same."

Zhao Jinmai laughed, suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Eh? Brother Yi, do you think that ancient emperors also ate chicken heads?"

"The emperor generally doesn't eat it, but if it's a whole animal, it must be served."

Li Yi explained: "Not only in the palace, but even in folk banquets, all whole chickens, ducks, and fish must be whole.

Those without heads belong to beheading, which is a serious crime, and Lord Yama will not accept it, so it must be all beards and tails. "

"No wonder."

Zhao Jinmai nodded suddenly: "My former foreign teacher has never understood why we have to keep our heads on when we cook chicken and fish. I don't know how to explain it to her, so I understand it. Because of cultural influence."

"Culture is one aspect, but the main reason is the lack of resources.

Now there is no such emphasis, and you don’t have to eat it if you don’t want to eat it. "

While talking, Li Yi cleaned the chicken, put it on the chopping board and chopped it into pieces.

Freshly killed chicken does not need to be blanched, it is fragrant enough to be fried directly in the pan.

Li Yi took a wok to heat the oil, put the chicken pieces directly into the wok, and stir-fried over high heat. After the chicken was fragrant, he added soy sauce and other seasonings, and added water to stew.

When the soup thickens, put the cut chili cubes into the pot and stir-fry over high heat until raw.

Seeing that the soup became thick and bright red, Li Yi turned off the fire and poured out the vegetables.

"This smell is authentic."

Huang Xiaoming couldn't wait.

Before Li Yisheng finished, he took a piece with his chopsticks, blew it twice and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm! That's right! That's the taste!"

He lit the chicken nuggets on the plate with chopsticks, and repeatedly praised: "This is the most authentic Zaozhuang spicy chicken! It's so delicious! The pot is full of energy!"
