Hu Yue's worry was reasonable. After all, Chongqing School of Sichuan Cuisine was famous for its spiciness.
Saliva Chicken had a special characteristic, and that was its freshness. Hence, it had to be cooked immediately after killing the chicken.
"Although it's not the most suitable, it's the most suitable under the current conditions." Yuan Zhou muttered in his heart. Then, he pulled open a cabinet where there were three live chickens that were gurgling.
That's right. Yuan Zhou was going to kill the chickens first before cooking this cold dish.
"The chickens are still alive?" Zhang Yan frowned.
"The Saliva Chicken is still alive. Not bad," Zhou Shijie nodded and praised.
"That's right. It's alive. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it before I starve to death," Zhang Yan said.
"How long will it take to kill the chicken, cook it, and serve it?" Hu Yue also shook his head.
At the very least, you have to kill the chicken first so that you can make it in time for the judging. Now, you have to kill the chicken now. That's going to take a long time.
"The purpose of this cold dish is to stimulate one's appetite while waiting. Isn't this taking too long?" Ma Cheng, who had suggested, also frowned.
"You make it sound so lively. I thought you were the ones killing the chicken and cooking it," Lee Yanyi said sarcastically.
"Mr. Lee, your words are biased. Killing the chicken and cooking it now is indeed taking too long," Hu Yue disagreed.
"Is that so? His chicken is already in the pot, "Lee Yanyi glanced at Hu Yue and pointed at Yuan Zhou.
That's right. In just a few words, Yuan Zhou's chicken was already in the pot. That speed was comparable to Liu Qian's magic.
"This … this isn't a chicken, right?" Hu Yue took a look and saw that it wasn't Yuan Zhou who was putting the chicken into the pot.
Most importantly, the chicken's feathers were all shaved. It was no wonder he had such doubts.
"No, it's the live chicken just now." Zhang Yan stroked his goatee. Although he was shocked, he still maintained a calm expression. However, who knew what he had just seen.
He only saw Yuan Zhou pick up the chicken, and then, out of nowhere, took out a knife that flashed with a cold light, and directly killed the chicken with one slash. The chicken didn't even have time to cry before its neck was crooked.
Then, Yuan Zhou waved his hands as if he was playing and the chicken feather was gone. That was the whole process that Zhang Yan saw.
"What did I miss?" Hu Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing. It's just that Yuan killed a chicken and shed its feathers." Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
"Hehe." Zhao Xin's mouth twitched as he said unnaturally.
"I only f * cking said two sentences. It hasn't even been three minutes, and it's already done. Is it a fake chicken? I didn't even hear it squeak before it was put into the pot?" This was what Ma Cheng and Hu Yue were thinking.
Can't you leave some dignity for the chicken and let it crow a little?
Hu Yue looked at Yuan Zhou and then at the chicken that had already been put into the pot. He was still a little confused.
They were still shocked by Yuan Zhou's magic killing of the chicken. Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou looked at the pot with dissatisfaction.
"System, are you really unable to provide the most suitable ingredients for cooking the Saliva Chicken?" Yuan Zhou asked again, unwilling to give up.
The system displayed, "This chicken is the Small Fragrant Black-Bone Chicken of Rongjiang Small Fragrant Chicken, also known as Qiandongnan Small Fragrant Chicken. It originates from Rongjiang County of your province. This chicken has a small and compact body and bright feathers."
"Only about 15% of the Small Fragrant Black-Bone Chicken in the whole flock are Small Fragrant Black-Bone Chickens. Therefore, the system specially selects 5% of them that are harmless and disease-free. Then, it selects 10 generations of Small Fragrant Black-Bone Chicken eggs to incubate."
"Stop, stop, stop. You have already said this introduction once before." Yuan Zhou immediately stopped the system helplessly.
However, the system ignored Yuan Zhou and continued displaying words in Yuan Zhou's mind.
The system displayed, "Because the Small Fragrant Chicken of Rongjiang has a unique fragrance by itself. However, this fragrance is the most obvious among the Small Fragrant Black-Bone Chicken."
"According to the system's research, this unique fragrance originates from the sky, the land, and the water of Rongjiang. In other words, the natural environment of Rongjiang. Therefore, the system specially simulated the natural environment of Rongjiang to carry out the breeding."
"While growing naturally, the chicken will be fed cooked flour, rice bran, and black and white sesame seeds. When the chicken's weight reaches 1.5 catties, it will be sent to the host for consumption."
"This chicken is fat and fragrant. The meat is tender and sweet. It's the best ingredient for cooking Bang Bang Chicken."
"Yes, yes, yes. Everything you said is correct. Therefore, I will use this Small Fragrant Chicken, which is most suitable for cooking Bang Bang Chicken, to make the Saliva Chicken. System, I feel that you are a fool." Yuan Zhou was quite speechless about the system. He hurriedly stopped the system from continuing.
That's right. Yuan Zhou didn't have the recipe of Chongqing School of Sichuan Cuisine. Therefore, the system also didn't provide the most suitable ingredients for cooking Chongqing School of Sichuan Cuisine.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had enough ingredients and could still make the dish he submitted.
While waiting for the Small Fragrant Chicken to be cooked, Yuan Zhou quickly made two servings for the remaining six customers and asked Zhou Jia to carry them out.
Of course, the most important ingredient of the Saliva Chicken, the Chili Oil, was also being prepared by Yuan Zhou. It was in another pot and had been placed in a crystal urn, waiting for it to cool down.
Currently, Yuan Zhou had three stoves for cooking, two places for cooking soup, and the azure stone countertop for processing the ingredients was even more spacious.
"Hua La", Yuan Zhou opened the lid and took out the Small Fragrant Chicken.
"Is the chicken already cooked?" Seeing Yuan Zhou opening the lid and taking out the chicken, Hu Yue couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
"Probably." Zhang Yan was also a little puzzled. It shouldn't be so fast. However, when he thought of how Yuan Zhou had just slaughtered the chicken, he was very cautious and didn't say anything.
The Small Fragrant Chicken was very small in size. After removing the innards, the chicken only weighed one catty. After it was cooked, it shrunk even more, to about nine and a half catties.
After the whole chicken was taken out, a strange fragrance pervaded the air. Before the fragrance could disperse, Yuan Zhou took out a wooden ladle and scooped up a ladle of ice water. Then, he started to pour the water over the chicken from top to bottom. Even the chicken's head was not spared.
After pouring the water over the chicken five times in a row, the chicken's skin tightened and a beautiful oily sheen appeared on the surface. Only then did Yuan Zhou stop.
After the chicken was cooked, it couldn't be damaged by iron tools. Moreover, it was easy for the chicken to give off an unpleasant smell. Yuan Zhou used a special ceramic knife and a ceramic chopping board to cut the chicken.
Apart from the taste, the Saliva Chicken and the Bang Bang Chicken were also different in their cutting skills. The Bang Bang Chicken was extremely thin, while the Saliva Chicken was different.
"Duo Duo Duo", the knife cut the chicken's bones and emitted a light sound when it touched the chopping board.
In the blink of an eye, the whole chicken was cut. Yuan Zhou lifted the chopping board and wiped it with the back of the knife. Then, the whole chicken was placed neatly on the plate.
Yuan Zhou's speed was very fast. When he carried the plate over, the judges of the evaluation team found that the chicken had been poured with chili oil.
"The Saliva Chicken, famous for 3,000 miles around Bashu and famous for its taste in the 12 prefectures of Jiangnan, is ready. Please have a taste," Yuan Zhou put down the tray and took out the chicken.
"You even know how to recite poems? That's unnecessary. Let me have a taste of the chicken and see if it's delicious. "After saying that, he directly picked up the chopsticks without any explanation, showing no elegance at all.
"Please," Yuan Zhou was used to it and wasn't as surprised as the others. He directly stretched out his hand and gestured.
