Chapter 153 Salt Baked Chicken
When Li Hao arrived in the kitchen, he quickly plucked the two chickens with such neat and dazzling techniques.
Then spread the spices on the two gutted chickens, find a large basin filled with salt, bury the two chickens in the salt, and bake them over a low fire.
Li Yuan watched the process and already felt that his saliva was about to flow out.
This way, it will look delicious!
Among other things, just using so much of this white and precious salt at one time is already very exciting.
The two chickens were buried in salt and roasted over a low fire.Li Hao pinched the time, and after two hours, he opened the lid of the pot, and a salty smell came out.
Li Hao digs out two chickens wrapped in lotus leaves from the salt.
Then gently tear off the lotus leaves.
With a soft puff, an extremely strong fragrance rippling in the room!
Li Yuan was almost overwhelmed by this strong aroma!
It's too delicious!
Li Yuan couldn't believe it when he saw a puff of white gas coming out of the salt-baked chicken. The surface of the salt-baked chicken was golden in color and looked very oily, making one want to tear it open and eat it immediately.
Li Yuan had never seen this appearance in his life.
Li Hao was also very satisfied.
Li Hao also cooked salt-baked chicken a few times when he was in Taohua Village, using his own big rooster, and the taste was already very good at that time.
The quality of the two chickens that Li Yuan mentioned is even better.
It was also the first time for Li Hao to do this kind of display.
Now that it is done, of course it is ready to eat.
Li Hao was not polite, and directly tore off a big chicken leg. With a light tear, the chicken came out. Li Hao took a bite, the meat was already rotten, and the salty smell was extremely strong, filling the entire mouth, and all the taste buds were activated. up!
"good."
Li Hao gave himself a thumbs up.
Seeing this, Li Yuan next to him was extremely anxious.
"Brother Li Hao, you are giving me a chicken leg, anyway, this is the chicken I brought here!"
Li Hao slapped his head and almost forgot Li Yuan next to him.
Tear off a chicken leg and hand it to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan took it carefully, the appearance of the chicken leg was really good, the shreds of meat were very distinct.Li Yuan closed his eyes and took a sip. The aroma really made people salivate.
Then Li Yuan gently bit off a piece of meat.
Then Li Yuan's mouth exploded!
This is so delicious too!
Li Yuan couldn't believe his tongue, the strong smell of chicken and the salty aroma made Li Yuan feel that all the chicken in his life was wasted!
What is chicken, this is it!
Li Yuan gobbled up the small piece of chicken.
Then he doesn't care about his personal image at all.
Go up and grab it with Li Hao!
How can Li Hao let Li Yuan succeed easily.
Although it would not be enough to beat an old man out by force, but he was not too polite. He just tore off half a chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.
Two people fought each other, these two chickens were wiped out by the two people in a flash, not even a shred of meat left!
Li Yuan's stomach was very full.
He is no match for Li Hao, a whole chicken is too much for Li Yuan.
But Li Yuan still had more to say.
I just hate my belly is too small.
Li Yuan sighed:
"Little brother, I was tricked to death by you!"
Li Hao was speechless.
"Old man, treat you to a good meal, but you still say that I cheated on you."
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said:
"You let me eat such delicious food, and I will feel boring to eat other things in the future. Are you cheating me?"
Li Hao smiled.
"Old man, you are worrying too much. This salt-baked chicken is not a secret recipe. If you still want to eat it, old man, I will write out the recipe, and you can ask the imperial chef to follow suit."
This salt-baked chicken itself is a folk recipe, and there is nothing to keep secret.
Li Yuan shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid it won't work. My little brother just saw the process of your making, and the Emperor has seen it. You used quite a lot of fine salt."
"The royal family is not that rich. Salt is very expensive, especially the fine salt you use, little brother. Most people can't afford it. It's used by us royal family and the upper echelons of the family to brush their teeth. .”
"For example, little brother, if you use the whole pot and the whole pot, it is equivalent to the amount of salt used by a village in a year, and that is only in terms of quantity. If it is said to be fine salt like you, little brother, it may be able to match The salt consumption of any family in a month."
"A preliminary estimate is that it will cost several hundred pennies."
"Although the royal family has money, they can't afford extravagance. Therefore, I guess it will be difficult for the emperor to enjoy it a few times in the future."
Li Hao glanced at Li Yuan slightly surprised.
"That's not enough, fine salt is easy to make, I can make several big pots of it in an hour."
"It's more than enough to make salt-baked chicken!"
Li Yuan was taken aback suddenly!
"Can you get a big pot of fine salt like this in an hour?"
"Mr. Li Hao, is what you said true?"
Li Yuan stared at Li Hao with fiery eyes.
What Li Hao said really matters!
You must know that such things as salt are so important!
Specialize in salt and iron, iron is used for war, and salt is for tax collection.
Every common people may not pay taxes, but they cannot live without salt.
Using something like salt can have the effect of paying a poll tax.
The reason why salt can play such an important role is because everyone cannot do without salt.
For this thing, I don't know how many people risked their heads to sell it privately.
Salt is so important, but the yield is very low.
Generally, what can be produced is coarse salt.
But even if it is coarse salt, it is very remarkable to have one or two yuan!
The royal family like Li Yuan used coarse salt as seasoning for the meals they usually ate!
As for fine salt, even Li Yuan is not willing to eat that thing!
Of course, it's not that the royal family really can't afford it.
Instead, the royal family should lead by example and be thrifty.
But this is also enough to explain the preciousness of fine salt!
Even for those aristocratic families, only the upper echelons of the aristocratic families can eat fine salt.
I saw Li Hao smiling.
"Old man, do I need to lie to you? What good can I do by lying to you?"
Li Yuan thought about it, and it really made sense.
indeed.
Although he didn't get along with Li Hao for a very long time, he already knew that Li Hao didn't care about fame and fortune at all.
So Li Hao really didn't mean to lie to anyone.
Thinking that what Li Hao said might be true, Li Yuan's heart became hot!
"Little brother, can you show me how to make salt?"
"If possible, I hope you can spread the method of making salt, little brother. Of course, the emperor knows that you have promoted intellectual property rights, and you have a patent on this method of making salt."
"In the future, a share of the salt that everyone in the world eats will be given to you."
"Little brother, what's the condition?"
Li Hao didn't care.
But it's just the method of making salt. This thing is very simple, so spread it as soon as it is spread.
Anyway, Li Hao has a patent, so he is not afraid of anything.
Thinking of this, Li Hao said with a smile:
"Yes, if you really need the method of making salt, I can give it to you. This thing is not difficult."
After saying that, Li Hao took Li Yuan to the courtyard.
