Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 633 - 586: Wang Fan’s Poached Saliva Chicken

But sometimes, the story unfolds in ways that completely contradict one’s expectations. As Wang Fan swiftly cut the whole chicken into two halves, then quickly chopped the half chicken into pieces, Xu Mingyi’s heart already began to waver.

How did it come to this? How did it come to this?!

Staring at the pieces of chicken on the table, Xu Mingyi’s pupils contracted as he couldn’t help but shout in his heart.

Foul! This is simply unsportsmanlike!

Tell me, what was that flowing out when you sliced open the chicken leg? And what is that thick layer of gelatin underneath the chicken skin?

Why have I eaten chicken for so many years but never seen a finished product like this?

Just looking at it, you already know it’s going to be delicious!

"Hello, do you want a whole one or half?"

Before the idea of half a chicken even finished forming in his mind, his mouth already responded first: "A whole one, it has to be a whole. Boss Wang, what’s that jelly-like thing under the chicken skin?"

Wang Fan skillfully picked up a takeaway box and arranged the chicken pieces inside: "The broth is concentrated, and then rapidly soaked in ice water, which causes the chicken to quickly solidify. In this way, without the chicken juice losing its essence, it forms a layer of chicken jelly."

After he spoke, he scooped up a ladle of freshly prepared sauce and drizzled it evenly over the chicken.

Wang Fan sneakily glanced at the crowd of diners, not to secretly look at beautiful women, but mainly to see if there were any Guangfu people in the line. After all, such a successful spicy oil drizzled white-cut chicken might be more unbearable for a Guangfu person than death.

No one’s rolling up their sleeves, so it seems temporarily safe...

But my wallet might not be safe!

This was the opposite of what all the diners were experiencing compared to Wang Fan.

Who understands, family?

"Soul Juice... Pour it on!"

These six words had just been lingering in his mind.

The scene of the red oil soaking into the golden chicken was truly captivating.

The red oil slowly slid down, and the golden chicken skin was tinged with a layer of red cloud. Crushed sesame, peanuts, and chilies were sprinkled on top like stars, stimulating everyone’s visual nerves to the point where some couldn’t help but murmur to themselves.

"Wow... Is this the real saliva chicken?"

"Oh my, this is way better than what I had a few days ago, it’s just not the same thing at all."

"Boss Wang is terrifyingly good, I can’t even think of words to describe this chicken."

"With the same soul juice, others have to speak it out, but Boss Wang directly makes me imagine a voice-over, it’s so scary."

Xu Mingyi could no longer control himself, quickly scanned the QR code to pay, then picked up his own saliva chicken, briskly walking towards a seat.

He now felt his appetite surging like waves, desperately wanting to taste the legendary chicken jelly and its flavor and texture.

Customers in line enviously watched Xu Mingyi run off quickly, then looked hopefully at the line in front of them.

"Hope the people in front all buy half, so it comes to me faster!"

Xu Mingyi found a seat and plopped down heavily, eagerly opening the lid and taking a deep breath. The rich and mellow aroma of the chicken, mixed with the spicy, numbing, and aromatic flavors, really got to him.

Picking up a piece of chicken to take a closer look, the rosy oil formed a layer of sheen on the chicken; even on a cloudy day, it felt like this piece of chicken was glowing!

The piece he picked up was chicken thigh, significantly thicker than other parts. Below the red oil layer was the golden chicken skin, and underneath that, a layer of brown jelly, which must be the concentrated essence of chicken juice?

Below the jelly was tender white chicken; the smooth cut made the chicken appear exceptionally fine and tender, and then...

"Holy cow?"

One of the standards for white-cut chicken is bones with red, and this was precisely what Xu Mingyi saw before him.

The rosy marrow delicately seeped from the chicken leg bone but without any gamey odor, which would normally be unappealing, but instead, it added a tempting edge.

Although he’d never had this kind with blood strands, considering Boss Wang dared to sell it, there’s no big deal in giving it a try, right?

With this mindset, Xu Mingyi put the chicken in his mouth.

The slight chill made the red oil incredibly smooth, the silky feeling upon entry was immensely satisfying.

As the tip of the tongue touched the chicken, numbing, spicy, and aromatic flavors exploded simultaneously in his mouth, truly, it was the first time he realized that aroma could also be a distinct taste.

The fiery sting, the tingling numbness, the fragrances of sesame, sesame oil, Sichuan pepper oil, and the aroma of chicken filled his mouth, making him so ecstatic that his eyebrows couldn’t help but raise.

He wouldn’t forget who the main character is.

A slight force of his teeth, and the chicken skin snapped like a rubber band, the springy texture was simply incredible, then the teeth slid effortlessly into the chicken jelly, and an exceptionally rich aroma of chicken exploded in his mouth.

The chicken jelly had a slippery, bouncy texture and began to melt the instant it touched the tongue, as the intense chicken aroma started to blossom on the tongue.

Unbelievable, this savory delight!

The unique freshness and flavor of chicken were able to show themselves purely, unaffected by the heat of chilies, Sichuan pepper, and sesame oil, showcasing the essence of meat so purely.

How is this even done?

Who cares, I’m not a chef, why should I care how it’s done? Enjoying it is what matters most!

"Ah..."

"Slurp..."

Xu Mingyi’s mouth made tiny noises from eating too fast, causing passing tourists to glance back frequently.

However, at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to these things. Under the irresistible allure of this top-notch delicacy, all he wanted was to keep stuffing chicken into his mouth.

He also discovered that compared to chicken thigh, the chicken back was actually even tastier!

Crisp, tender, bouncy chicken skin, a thick layer of chicken jelly, a thin layer of lean chicken, with a quick swipe of the tongue, all the meat on the bone entered the mouth.

Chewing simultaneously, three textures quickly merged into one, the dissolved jelly’s rich and savory juices continuously seeped into the chicken during chewing, making it taste even more delicious the more he chewed.

Spicy, numbing, fresh, fragrant, and tender, this is real Sichuan cuisine—saliva chicken!

The ones eaten before were for dogs... oops!

As he was thoroughly enjoying his meal, Wang Fan was incredibly busy.

The line of diners had stretched into a long tail, but fortunately, everyone maintained good manners, without loud noises, and the base had specially dispatched Li Mu to maintain order.

Looking at the crowded queue, Li Mu felt an illusion, did the Flower Bureau escape and is now staying in Boss Wang’s food truck?

It’s just a saliva chicken, does it really warrant this?

Secretly glancing at the saliva chicken in a diner’s hand, Li Mu’s mind changed—perhaps it was warranted?

It really did look extremely tasty.

Something Wang Fan worried about happened; right in front of him was indeed a Guangfu person.

The guy looked at Wang Fan with the eyes of someone looking at a criminal, and said with a face full of grief and indignation, "Boss Wang, no matter how much you talk up your chicken, it’s still made using white-cut chicken method."

Wang Fan awkwardly chuckled: "Isn’t the white-cut chicken method a bit more tender?"

Huang Yufeng snorted: "My fragile heart has suffered ruthless trampling, only white-cut chicken with ginger dip can repair this deep wound."

Although Wang Fan thought this young man was a bit dramatic, it’s true that Guangfu people have a particular fondness for white-cut chicken, so a bit of compensation seemed appropriate, and ginger dip was quite simple to make, with all ingredients readily on hand.

"Alright, it’ll be ready soon."

Only then did Huang Yufeng nod in satisfaction, feeling much more at ease.

You guys are eating saliva chicken, while I’m having white-cut chicken, that means we’re eating different things, naturally, there’s no need for comparison, right? What’s it to you if I eat white-cut chicken and you have saliva chicken?

With ginger powder, chopped green onions, chicken powder, sugar, and salt, a drizzle of hot oil, the fragrant ginger paste was done, and Huang Yufeng, clutching his white-cut chicken, walked off very content, to a relatively quiet corner to enjoy his exclusive delicacy.
