Chapter 224 Gourd Chicken
What will Teacher Nan talk about?
Is it still solar terms and delicious food?
Will anything new appear?
No one thought that what Nanzhi would end up cooking would be fried chicken!
[I’m a little disappointed. Isn’t fried chicken from a foreign country? I thought I would talk about something related to our traditional culture. 】
【Yes, after the previous class talked about solar terms and delicious food, I was planning to record the screen and show it to my little nephew, so that he can learn to cook from an early age! 】
【Didn’t you listen to Teacher Zhang? This seemed to be Teacher Zhang’s suggestion. She wanted the children to eat something they couldn’t eat in the mountains. The farthest places these children can go are probably nearby towns and counties at most, so they probably have very few opportunities to eat food like fried chicken, so it's understandable. 】
【That’s it! It’s not like Nanzhi’s class is for you to watch, it’s for the students. Of course, the students can watch whatever they want? Don’t you see how excited the kids are? 】
【Wow! Even Fu Chao and Xie Yu are here, as well as babies Qingxi and An An! Baby An'an hasn't seen Aunt Zhizhi for a long time, so she wants to hug her when she comes up, hahaha! 】
[Why are you laughing? If you didn’t see me, your eyes would almost burst into flames! Daily competition for favor (1/1)√! 】
【Aren't Fu Chao and the others very busy? I actually came here when I had time, most of the time I had to squeeze in, wow wow, I'm so touched! My Nanjia Xiaoguan foursome is back together again! 】
【It seems that I didn’t call you Miss. 】
【Tsk, the fans of the eldest lady are going to fight against each other again. Can you use less rich people filter these days? 】
【It is! Everyone called Nazhi, but not Chang Mu. She must have deliberately excluded them! 】
[Brother, is there a possibility that Nanzhi called Fu Chao and Xie Yu to help? Chang Mu, who is not familiar with her, called her over to help him? 】
【I think Chang Mu enjoys filming rural vacation vlogs every day, so let’s stop disturbing her. 】
【Pfft, pastoral vacation volg, your mouth is so poisonous! But I like it! 】
……
The viewers in the live broadcast room were originally a little disappointed with the content of today’s cooking class.
However, with the arrival of Fu Chao and Xie Yu, surprise replaced disappointment, and everyone was more happy to see Nanjia Xiaoguan reunited!
You know, Fu Chao and Xie Yu are also very busy these days.
The two of them, a top actor and a talented director, deal with all kinds of trivial matters in the village every day. When necessary, they have to roll up their trousers and go to the fields.
Not to mention, it really satisfied the psychology of some viewers. Everyone said it was so enjoyable to watch, and they repeatedly praised the director of the program for being ruthless and daring to film!
Compared with their real hard work, Chang Mu’s live broadcast room is much easier.
Her daily task is to go to the village, deliver some things in the name of the foundation, and visit the lonely elderly people...
However, most of her time is spent traveling through the beautiful mountains and rivers of your province, taking pictures. Beautiful back view.
Beautiful, beautiful, but too boring.
Except for a bunch of people who licked the screen because of Chang Mu’s identity, most viewers felt that Chang Mu’s live broadcast was boring and uninteresting.
This directly led to the fact that the number of viewers in Chang Mu’s live broadcast room ranked last among everyone.
Ranked first is Nanzhi.
No wonder some viewers commented in the barrage that Chang Mu's live broadcast room is a "idyllic vacation vlog"...
Nanzhi quickly began her opening remarks.
Compared to her quotations from scriptures the day before yesterday, her whole atmosphere today was much more relaxed.
I even talked about today’s cooking class in a joking tone, the purpose was just to let everyone eat and drink.
...This sentence directly aroused a large number of cheers!
Just when everyone thought that Nanzhi would get right to the point and start cooking, Nanzhi suddenly talked about the origin of fried chicken——
Many people thought that fried chicken was an imported product.
In fact, fried chicken had already appeared as early as the Tang Dynasty.
However, its name at that time was not fried chicken, but gourd chicken, which came from Wei Zhi, the Minister of Rites during the Xuanzong period. This man came from a high family, loved fine clothes and fine food, and was very particular about his diet.
In order to make this gourd chicken, he killed two cooks one after another. It was not until the third cook that he made this gourd chicken. The method was extremely complicated. In that era of limited productivity, it was considered a luxury. Extremely horny. When Nanzhi told the story, he also recreated the recipe of gourd chicken.
Probably, the chicken body is tied up with string, and then boiled, steamed, and fried. The resulting chicken is crispy and tender, and the chicken body is shaped like a gourd. Hence the name.
When Nanzhi finished telling this story, it aroused a strong reaction from the students:
“This official is so bad! Why did he kill people?”
"That's why the teacher said that the feudal dynasty will perish!"
"The chef who died is so pitiful!"
"I don't want to eat gourd chicken..."
"..."
Nanzhi cleared her throat and said hurriedly:
"Wei Zhi must have made a big mistake, but Calabash Chicken itself is not wrong. We must look at the problem dialectically and realize the multi-faceted nature of the matter."
The students nodded in understanding.
【Oh my god, why did you suddenly jump from history class to politics class? 】
【Nanzhi’s words make sense, and this is the first time I know that fried chicken appeared in the Tang Dynasty! 】
【Listen to the description, can fried chicken be the same as fried chicken? It’s a completely stolen concept! 】
[Who said fried chicken must be breaded in bread crumbs? There are so many ways to make fried chicken! Chinese fried chicken is very popular recently! There is one near my home, it’s delicious! 】
【Surprise! I always thought that fried chicken was only available in Western fast food, but I didn’t expect that we also have this kind of fried chicken! Learned, learned! 】
【Every day I learn new science knowledge while watching the live broadcast, hahaha! 】
【Sure enough, I knew Nanzhi would not let me down! 】
……
At the same time, the entry #中文 fried鸡VSWestern-style fried chicken# has become a hot search topic and is climbing crazily.
Many people are having heated discussions and updating their knowledge base.
If it weren’t for the story Nanzhi told today, everyone would have thought that fried chicken was introduced from the West!
Of course, more and more people are coming out to popularize knowledge about fried chicken, adding fuel to the fire to this topic.
In the live broadcast room, after briefly speaking the opening remarks, Nanzhi got to the point——
Prepare fried chicken.
Because the oil temperature of the oil pan is too high, it is too dangerous for children.
So, Nanzhi only prepared a frying pan and let the children be responsible for the pre-frying procedures.
To put it simply, it is to increase the children’s experience. The main thing is that Nanzhi cooks it himself.
After all, for fried chicken, the most important part is frying, which will directly determine success or failure.
With the help of Fu Chao and Xie Yu, everything went on in an orderly manner.
The children handled the chicken with their own hands, soaked it in salt water, and coated it with a layer of fried powder.
The prepared fried chicken is stacked into a small mountain.
