Chapter 234 Big Chicken (2)

The lid of the large casserole was lifted, and the chicken pieces, potatoes, green peppers, and red peppers were covered with sauce and lay quietly in the casserole! Although this kind of "big pot stew"-like dish is not exquisite, it has an inexplicable "rough" pyrotechnics flavor due to the alluring rich sauce aroma!

This kind of "roughness" reminded Xunzhou of the Hu people's roasted lamb legs opposite the market today. Compared with the exquisite vegetarian meals, the completely opposite roughness can actually arouse people's strong appetite.

The pile of ingredients in the casserole was obviously not for one person, but for him and Liu Yuan. Xunzhou looked at Liu Yuan who had sat down across from him and was about to eat without him opening his mouth. His heart tightened, and an inexplicable instinct arose spontaneously. He quickly sat down and reached out to open the lower layer of the food box. , I want to get some food.

But when the lower layer of the food box was opened and he saw two empty bowls inside, Xunzhou was stunned: "Did sister Mingtang forget to pack rice?"

Liu Yuan glanced at him, took out the empty bowl, divided one for each person, then pointed to another casserole wrapped in thick cloth and said: "I won't eat today, let's eat vegetables first!"

After saying that, he held up his chopsticks and hurriedly picked them into the casserole: of course the first chopsticks picked up the chicken! The rich aroma of sauce has been completely immersed in the chicken. Compared with the tender chicken made by Wen Mingtang before, the chicken in this casserole is slightly firmer, but not woody at all. The taste of the same chicken is completely different. The salty and slightly spicy aroma of the rich sauce tightly wraps the chicken itself, making people want to stop eating.

After tasting a piece of chicken, he spat out a small piece of chicken bone. When Xunzhou on the opposite side lowered his chopsticks, Liu Yuan immediately picked up a piece of potato with his chopsticks.

Grabbing food together with others, oh no, eating food. If it were in an ordinary restaurant, he would probably not be able to help but pick the delicious ones. For example, he would eat the chicken dishes first, but Master Wen's dishes are made of every ingredient. Each of its flavors has its own merits, just like the most surprising and unstoppable one among the previous meat crab pots was the rice cake.

Naturally, I wanted to taste the potatoes in this "big plate chicken" that looked quite bold, so I picked up a piece of potato, and when I picked it up slightly, my chopsticks were already "forced" into the potato inside. Liu Yuan was already attracted by it. After developing some "habit", the tongue will instinctively produce body fluids.

Judging from the texture of these potatoes, which can be pinched apart with a little force, you can guess that they must have been stewed until they are very soft and glutinous. The moment he entered the mouth, Liu Yuan immediately showed an expression of "Sure enough": Although the potatoes have been stewed soft and glutinous, the rustling texture of the potatoes itself cannot be ignored, and their own waxy aroma is mixed with the rich sauce aroma wrapped around them. Together, the taste is truly wonderful!

Probably to cater for the taste of most people, the green and red peppers chosen by Master Wen are not spicy. These green and red peppers are crispy and sweet when eaten raw. After being eaten, the green and red peppers covered in sauce are equally fragrant. With its own freshness and sweetness, it relieves the greasy taste of meat dishes, just right!

If Liu Yuan could describe the whole dish, he would have just one word: delicious!

After each dish was picked through, Liu Yuan continued to hold up the chopsticks in his hand to continue the next round of chicken, potatoes and green and red peppers.

I don’t know whether it was because the person who originally had this delicious dish couldn’t stop using his chopsticks or because the two of them were fighting for the food. One chopstick and one chopstick. However, in the blink of an eye, most of it was pulled off, and the rich and rich sauce was visible. The remaining ingredients are gone.

Xunzhou saw Liu Yuan opposite him stop holding the chopsticks in his hand after finishing a piece of potato, and he also stopped with a "tacit understanding" and said with emotion: "It's a pity that this sauce was wasted. If it were mixed with something else... …”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yuan across from him reached into the food box, pulled open the casserole wrapped in thick cloth, opened the lid, and saw strips of noodles as thick as two fingers lying there. After being placed in the casserole, it must have been specially treated. After such a long time, the noodles did not stick to each other at all!

Liu Yuan poured all the noodles from the casserole into the hot sauce, then stretched out his chopsticks to stir, and said while stirring: "Fortunately, you and I ate quickly, the soup is still hot. Quickly stir up the noodles and eat with the sauce!"

This way of eating really shocked Xunzhou across from him. He subconsciously "obeyed the order" and raised his chopsticks to help stir it up, while asking: "This is..."

"It's pulled noodles!" Liu Yuan said without waiting for Xunzhou on the other side to finish his words, as if he was not surprised, "Master Wen made the oily noodles earlier with pulled noodles!"

What is oily noodles? Xunzhou only felt that he had followed the teacher's study tour and boasted that he had seen a lot, but now facing Liu Yuan, he just felt like a "bumpkin" who didn't understand anything.

"It's the breakfast that Master Wen made earlier. It's so delicious!" Liu Yuan said casually, "It's normal if you haven't eaten it before, but I'm not familiar with Master Wen!"

Isn't he familiar with sister Mingtang? He is obviously not as familiar with Mingtang's sister as... well, it seems that he is not as familiar with the Si Cheng in front of him!

Xunzhou fell silent and heard Liu Yuan say again: "Master Mu Shiwen today said that the dish called Da Pan Chicken is a dish from the Hu people, but it has not been introduced to our Da Rong yet!"

It turns out that it is a dish from the Hu people. No wonder it has the same "rough" flavor that appeals to people's cravings just like kebabs!

While they were silent, Liu Yuan on the other side had already taken out a piece of pulled noodles covered in soup from the casserole. He took it with a bowl to avoid wasting the soup on the "food table". I couldn't wait to lower my head and eat the noodles.

Because of the special nature of this noodle, you naturally cannot "swish" it in one smooth bite like ordinary noodles. Instead, you "swish" it while biting it. The texture of the noodles is very tough. After chewing, the aroma of the dough is mixed with it. The rich taste of the sauce is really addictive!

As expected, the best part of this large plate of chicken is hidden at the end. The pulled noodles are to the large plate of chicken what rice cakes are to meat and crab pot. It is the real soul.

Liu Yuan couldn't stop eating. In the blink of an eye, two pieces of pulled noodles were already in his stomach. When he went to pick up the third piece, Xunzhou on the opposite side woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly raised his chopsticks to pick out the pulled noodles and hummed in his mouth: "Teacher, I'm going to pick up the noodles." If I live in Chang'an for a while, I will always have something to eat!"

"It's up to you!" Liu Yuan bit into the noodles and grunted. He didn't have the habit of eating alone. He only reminded Xunzhou of one thing, "You can eat whatever you want in the public kitchen when you are helping Dali Temple, but when you stay here The case is settled, just don’t forget to pay for your meal!”

Even the people in their Dali Temple can only eat one portion per person. If you eat more, you need to pay. This Xunzhou is no exception!

Thinking of the money deducted for eating too much this month, Liu Yuan felt heartache! Who would have thought that one day all of Liu Yuan’s pocket money would be spent on food!
