Chapter 677 Feast!
Before long, those foodies who were passionate about delicious food arrived at the party.
Accompanied by bursts of laughter and a lively atmosphere, a grand carnival begins again!
Gu Chang knew very well that these foodie friends had amazing appetites, so he specially prepared the largest portion of each dish.
You know, the tableware that most people use for eating is just ordinary-sized bowls and plates, but this dinner party of Gu Chang and his friends is very different - what is placed on the table are actually huge basins!
Moreover, each pot of food was filled to the brim, as if it would overflow at any time.
The huge dining table was now filled with more than a dozen pots of different sizes, leaving almost no space.
Looking around, you can see a wide variety of delicious food that makes you salivate.
"Oh my god, today is so abundant!"
When Gao Yiyi saw the table full of delicious food, she was stunned.
Her eyes widened and her mouth opened, she couldn't believe what she saw.
Wang Yuhan, who was standing nearby, was also surprised. She pointed at the food on the table and said, "Look, here are not only two tempting roast ducks with crispy skin and tender meat, but also three fragrant roast chickens with crispy outside and tender inside, and even a plump roast goose..."
"Oh my god! There's also this finale dish!"
What shocked Wang Yuhan was a whole roasted lamb that was golden, crispy and fragrant!
Wow! Look at this array, it's amazing!
"You don't know, but I bought this goat from Xiao Xi's dad after careful selection!" Gu Chang in the kitchen excitedly poked his head out and shouted.
"Oh? It's actually raised by Xiaoxi's father himself? Then we are in for a treat today, we must taste it carefully!"
When Jiang Mozi heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she was full of anticipation.
"Of course, Xiaoxi's family used to make a living by herding sheep and farming. Xiaoxi grew up in the mountains with the sheep and is very familiar with them!"
"When the lambs grow up, they will send them to the purchasing point in the town to sell them and earn some money to support their livelihood."
"But later, by chance, I unexpectedly discovered that the sheep raised by Xiaoxi's family were all pure Shaanxi sheep! They are really a treasure!"
Having said that, Gu Chang couldn't help but reveal a smug look on his face.
"Shaanxi sheep? Is this kind of sheep particularly delicious?" Jiang Mozi asked curiously.
Not only was she curious, but other people around her also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the mystery behind it.
"Of course! The Shaanxi Tong sheep, also known as the Tongzhou sheep, has a long breeding history of more than 1200 years."
"This kind of mutton is tender and juicy, fatty but not greasy; and its meat smells not fishy at all, but fragrant; especially the big fat tail, which is its unique feature."
"Since ancient times, it has always been a very important traditional tribute!" Gu Chang explained in detail to everyone enthusiastically.
"When it comes to Shaanxi's famous dishes like 'mutton soup with steamed buns', 'mutton in a basin' and cured mutton, mutton is always the best choice."
"This kind of mutton is tender and juicy, with a mellow taste and no smell of mutton. Whether it is used to make fragrant mutton soup steamed buns, refreshing and delicious water basin mutton, or salty and fragrant cured mutton, it can show a unique flavor and charm."
"What's more worth mentioning is that the Tongyang in Shaanxi is really a treasure!"
"It perfectly combines high-quality semi-fine wool, delicious mutton, plump fat tail and extremely precious fur."
"You know, this kind of characteristic is not only rare in our country, but even if you look at the whole world, it is definitely an extremely rare sheep breed!" Gu Chang exclaimed endlessly.
"You're so awesome, you're actually that powerful?"
When Wang Xianye heard this, his face was filled with disbelief and shock.
"That's right!" Gu Chang said with a smile.
……
Although the Shaanxi lamb stew is the best, Gu Chang still likes the roasted whole lamb the most!
After the marinated whole lamb is roasted in the oven, it turns golden in color and fills the house with a burnt aroma that makes people drool from a distance away. The rich aroma has already permeated the air for a long time.
Take a bite, the meat is crispy and charred, it's so delicious that you can't stop eating it.
After hearing what Gu Chang said, everyone was looking forward to the roasted whole lamb!
……
I saw that the rectangular wooden table was filled with bowls of various sizes, which contained various colorful dishes, including red braised pork, green stir-fried vegetables, yellow fried chicken legs, etc. It was a dazzling array that made people salivate.
Looking at so many bowls filled with vegetables, people who don’t know the situation might mistakenly think this is a pigsty, and Gu Chang is feeding a group of hungry piglets!
However, those who are familiar with the situation know that this was actually a lively dinner party.
Speaking of Gu Chang's way of serving food like feeding pigs, it is not without reason.
You know, he came from a pig farm and has a lot of experience in how to meet the needs of a large number of "diners".
Every time it is mealtime, the pigs in the pig farm always huddle together, staring at the pots of sumptuous food, just like the people sitting around the table at this moment.
Of course, although this method seems a bit exaggerated, it is just right for this dinner party.
After all, none of the people here are easy to please, especially those who are known as "foodies", all of them have amazing appetites.
Even Wu Qingmeng, Wang Yuhan and Gao Yiyi, who seemed to have smaller appetites on weekdays, showed no weakness at this moment. Each of them could easily finish three or four bowls of rice.
Because of this, Gu Chang specially prepared three plates of fragrant rice. Moreover, in order to ensure that everyone could enjoy the meal, he simply poured a whole bag of rice weighing 20 kilograms into the pot and steamed it.
There is no other way. If the portion is smaller, it will not be able to satisfy these hungry ghosts who are as hungry as wolves and tigers.
At this moment, a burst of cheers was heard. It turned out that the last dish made its debut!
A dish known as "Chang'an's No. 1 Flavor" and "Chang'an's No. 1 Dish" - Big Gourd Chicken, finally made its grand debut in the long-awaited eyes of everyone!
This gourd chicken is shaped like a lovely gourd, and its whole body is shining with an attractive golden color.
Just touch it lightly with chopsticks and you can feel the bones and chicken separate easily.
Its skin is extremely crispy, and it makes a crisp "crunch" sound when you bite it, while the chicken inside is so tender that it seems to melt on the tip of your tongue.
If you savor it carefully, the mellow aroma and the perfect salty and sweet taste will intoxicate you and you will never forget it.
As a traditional specialty of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, gourd chicken has enjoyed the supreme honor of being "the first of the top ten famous dishes in Shaanxi" since ancient times.
However, it is not easy to cook such delicious dishes, and the production process is extremely complicated.
First, you need to blanch the whole chicken in boiling water to remove the fishy smell, then slowly cook it in a carefully prepared soup pot, then transfer it to a steamer to steam it, and finally deep-fry it in a pan until the surface is golden and crispy.
The whole process requires four rigorous and meticulous steps of blanching, boiling, steaming and frying, and every step cannot be sloppy.
In addition, more than 20 kinds of precious spices passed down from generation to generation must be added, and the dish must be carefully marinated for at least 24 hours to achieve such a unique flavor.
Gu Chang really put a lot of effort into learning how to cook this famous gourd chicken!
It took me about three or four months of constant experimentation and repeated refinement before I finally made the gourd chicken I made have 70% of the charm!
