The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 213 Domestic chicken (for subscription)
"Haha, that's right, Mr. Li family continues, we like to hear it!"

"That's right, this is the good one."

At the same time, Li Yuan was not idle at all, and in the time to speak, he had already scalded the mushrooms that had been soaked for a long time.

"Look, these mushrooms were picked last autumn and dried by themselves. Not only will the taste of the soaked mushrooms not fade, but the taste will be more chewy than before. When making stews, and The dried mushrooms are a perfect match."

The water from the hazel mushrooms is a bit black, but it's not that the hazel mushrooms are dirty, but after the hazel mushrooms are blanched, the color of the mushrooms will fade a bit.

After cleaning the mushrooms again, Li Yuan had already started to cook chicken stewed mushrooms.

"In the Northeast, stewed chicken with mushrooms can be regarded as a special dish, almost every family can't make it!"

"And chicken stewed with mushrooms wants to taste good, there are several important factors. The first... is the chicken, it must be a freshly killed chicken that is raised in the farm yard."

"Second, if it is stewed in an earthen pot, the third... must be this wild mountain mushroom."

Apparently, the chicken that Li Yuan just packed fits this feature very well. The meat is thick but not fat, fresh but not raw. The taste of this kind of chicken is delicious.

Needless to say, the taste of earthen pot stew is incomparable to the usual gas and induction cooker.

As for wild mountain mushrooms, they are obviously even more rare these days.

"There are still three requirements... Now I can't even meet the first requirement."

"No, the big rooster here costs at least 200 yuan, and it's the kind that has a price but no market!"

"Yeah, there are too few free-range chickens in the wild now, and even if they are sold, it's hard to tell whether they are pure free-range chickens."

"No, the chicken in my house is almost all frozen meat bought in the supermarket, and the taste...is really not that good."

"We also sell chilled chicken here. The whole chicken is sold. Not to mention the high price, we don't know how long it has been frozen."

Li Yuan nodded, with a rather agreeable look on his face.

Indeed, there are fewer and fewer people in the countryside now, and there are not as many poultry farms as before, so almost all the meat we eat comes from large farms.

It may be better in the countryside. A family has a few chickens, ducks and geese, some of which have been raised for several years, and some are sold directly in the market when they are about the same size.

But in the final analysis, it was basically digested by the people in the village. Even if it was sold in the market, it was a hot commodity, and it was robbed within an hour.

The important reason is that the taste and nutrition of domestic chickens are far beyond that of feed chickens.

Feed chickens are raised in captivity. They are kept in cages and are not allowed to move. They sleep after eating and eat after sleeping, so they have a lot of fat and meat.

Domestic chickens are almost all free-range, and they are poorly fed. Instead, they catch insects and eat them by themselves.

Therefore, the growth rate of domestic chickens is slow, but the muscles are tight because of free-range chickens, but the taste is very strong.

Li Yuan nodded: "What everyone said is true. There are indeed very few home-raised chickens like this now. On the contrary, almost all of them are replaced by chilled fresh chickens and frozen chickens in the market."

"No, if you want to stew a chicken during the Chinese New Year, you have to make an order half a month in advance, otherwise you won't be able to get in the queue!"

"The labor cost of killing chickens here is already 30 yuan per chicken!"

"You still have freshly killed chickens...we can't find them here..."

"This...isn't it all chicken, it's just frozen, is there such a big difference?"

"Frozen chicken is pretty good, it's cheap, and the taste is not bad."

"One look at the brother upstairs, he is relatively young, how can the taste of frozen chicken be compared with that of freshly slaughtered chicken!"

"Is there a difference?"

Li Yuan: "Of course, the freshly slaughtered chicken has not been cooled, the chicken has not shrunk, and the ingredients are fresh, so the natural taste is better."

"In addition to freshly killed chickens, there are actually three types of chickens on the market, one is hot fresh chicken, the other is cold fresh chicken, and the other is frozen chicken."

"Hot fresh chicken is generally slaughtered on the spot, but unlike cold fresh chicken, this kind of chicken does not undergo any cooling treatment. It can be directly transported and retailed quickly."

"Although the quality of these chickens will be inspected before they are sent out, from processing to retailing, hot fresh chickens will inevitably be affected by various environments, and it is very easy to breed bacteria. Such chickens are obviously much less safe."

"So because of this, cold fresh chicken appeared."

"There are many names for chilled fresh chicken, such as chilled chicken and sour chicken, but its accurate name should be 'but sour meat'. Strictly implement the health and quarantine standards, and quickly cool the slaughtered chicken, and then in the Keep the temperature between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius during processing, distribution and sales so that the chicken will not freeze into ice cubes."

"Frozen chickens are slaughtered chickens that are pre-cooled and frozen below minus 18 degrees Celsius. Such frozen chickens have fewer bacteria and are much safer. However, they need to be thawed before processing. During the thawing process , the nutrition will naturally drop a lot.”

"Among the three, the taste of cold fresh meat is obviously slightly better, but even so, it is far inferior to freshly slaughtered chicken."

Studio.

"So there's so much more to say."

"I thought all chicken was frozen... there seems to be a lot of learning in there."

"The more I listen, the more dizzy I become, what should I do?"

"Anchor, you know too much..."

"It's over, it's over, the more I watch the live broadcast of the eldest son of the Li family, the more I want to marry such a husband!"

"What to do, our husband is so handsome even when he is preaching."

At this moment, Li Yuan has already prepared all the preparations, started the pot, heated the oil, and prepared to stir-fry!
Put vegetable oil in the pot, the oil temperature has just risen, Li Yuan put ginger slices, scallions, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves and other ingredients prepared on the side into the oil pan and stir-fry. There is a scent.

When the blanched chicken was poured into the pot, a puff of heat rose instantly, and there was a sound of oil bursting.

Li Yuan held the shovel in his right hand, but turned the chicken in the wok over a low heat all the way, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had long been used to the scene of oil splashing.

The water vapor on the chicken was evaporated by the hot pot in this way, but in the kitchen, the ceiling at this time was shrouded in thick heat, which felt like a fairy mist.

The chicken in the pot was constantly stir-fried by Li Yuan, and within a few minutes, the color of the chicken had already turned golden yellow, which looked quite attractive.

And the aroma of the chicken gradually deepened as the color changed.
