Chapter 147 Extraordinary
After that, the three examiners picked up their chopsticks and gently poked the white and jade-like chicken. The delicate chicken skin was immediately cut, and the chicken inside was also milky white like the skin. The chicken was plump and juicy, and the gravy made the meat look even more lustrous and attractive, as if it was glowing slightly.
The chicken has been cooked so well that it has fallen off the bones after being simmered for a long time, so it is easy to pick up the chicken with chopsticks. The plump chicken trembles slightly on the chopsticks, and its luster and texture tempt people, making people can't wait to swallow it into their stomachs.
The three examiners did not wait any longer and put the chicken on the chopsticks into their mouths.
The delicious taste of the chicken in your mouth is like a storm in your mouth, and the surging waves sweep every corner of your mouth, making every inch of your mouth fully immersed in this delicious ocean.
The taste buds trembled slightly in this delicious taste, and the sensitive nerves on the tip of the tongue were almost dizzy by the storm of deliciousness. This was a wonderful experience that I had never had before. Chicken originally had umami, but this umami was vague and rarely felt directly.
However, at this moment, the delicious taste in the mouth is so clear, as if it were real, gathering into the mind through the sensitive nerves at the tip of the tongue, forming a clear word - delicious!
Not to mention Lei Hua and Yao Ye, even someone like Hong Ze who has tasted the most delicious food in the world rarely tastes such wonderful flavor.
It is difficult to describe umami intuitively using simple words.
But its effect is very obvious. It can easily make plain ingredients delicious and make simple flavors complex and tempting.
The chicken in his mouth at this moment was extraordinary. Its tender and smooth taste far surpassed that of the three-yellow chicken, and the fatness of the meat was comparable to that of suckling pig. Unlike before, when Li Weiran needed to use the taste of suckling pig to enhance the taste of chicken, now it just showed its original taste, as if he had tasted the advantages of all meats.
It has the original tenderness and smoothness of chicken, and at the same time has an extremely delicate taste like oil, without a trace of impurities. It seems that all the fibers in the meat have been melted into one, turning into a delicate paste-like taste.
As soon as the chicken is put into the mouth, it melts gently under the sensitive tip of the tongue, smooth, tender and fragrant, as delicate as solidified fat, but with a refreshing and elegant taste, as sweet as a clear spring in the mountains.
The chicken skin is slightly elastic and thin, like paper, and can be easily pierced by the tip of the tooth. At the same time, the fat contained in the chicken seeps out and gently wraps the tip of the tooth, adding a bit of moisture to the light and tender taste.
And these extraordinary flavors become even more mysterious with the enhancement of umami.
At the same time, after the initial strong and delicious taste, the taste of the chicken does not fade, but continues to rise with every chewing.
Chewing with the tips of the teeth thoroughly brings out the taste of the chicken itself. The taste of this high-quality chicken itself is excellent, not only delicious and sweet, but also because of the different feed, the meat itself has a unique flavor, which is sweet but heavier than sweet. This subtle taste becomes more profound and attractive with every chewing, as if you are traveling on a boat through famous mountains and rivers, and the scenery changes with every passing scene, which is endless fun.
At the same time, the flavors of countless seasonings that permeate into the chicken also elevate the extraordinary taste of the chicken itself to a new level.
It was a taste of chicken that they had never tasted before. The chicken in their mouths became less and less as they kept chewing and swallowing, but the taste of the chicken in their mouths became stronger. The real chicken disappeared in their mouths, but the illusory chicken that carried all the taste of the chicken became more and more obvious, and eventually occupied every corner of their taste buds and mouths. Before they knew it, the whole plate of chicken was eaten up by the three of them, and even the soup was drunk up.
The chicken has a rich flavor, and the soup is equally flavorful. The soup is a broth that has been simmered for a long time, which locks in all the deliciousness of the chicken. The eggshell made of bone mud that melts in the soup is the finishing touch. The bone mud, broth, and chicken together form the image of an extremely vivid chicken.
This dish incorporates all the flavors of chicken, using flavor as a paintbrush to construct a clear image of the chicken on the taste buds and in the mind.
By the end of the meal, it was as if all the flavors in the world had disappeared, as if the taste buds had lost the ability to perceive flavors, as if the sensitive nerves on the tip of the tongue had been paralyzed, and all the salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami flavors could no longer be felt. Only one flavor was left in the mouth, and only one image was left in the mind, and that was the taste of chicken.
No, can the taste really be described with the bland word "chicken"?
It has a taste that is far above the ordinary, as if the chicken has shed its mortal body and ascended to heaven.
It was as if it spread its wings and flew high, passing through the thick clouds, turning into a white phoenix in the sky, stretching its body to its heart's content under the boundless clear sky.
Yes, if we really have to name this taste, then its only name is Bai Feng.
White and pure deliciousness.
Yao Ye sighed with satisfaction, "I never thought that there would be such a delicious chicken in the world. No, this is no longer a chicken. This wonderful taste is far beyond the taste of a species like chicken. It is like another strange species, another strange creature, but with a chicken-like appearance. Both the flavor and taste have surpassed the extreme of chicken."
Lei Hua said with emotion: "Bai Feng, it is worthy of being called Bai Feng. It really lives up to its name. The taste in my mouth is so extraordinary, rich and mellow. Even the phoenix in the sky is probably no better than this. What's even better is that you can fully display the taste of Bai Feng, without leaving out a single thing. The bones, meat, and soup are all displayed vividly, and their different flavors are combined into one in my mouth, turning into a complete Bai Feng."
Hong Ze nodded slightly at this moment and said, "It is really good to fully display the extraordinary ingredients, make their taste perfect, and even form a complete image in the mind through the taste. If the previous dish is to decorate the plain chicken with various extraordinary flavors to make it plump, fat and colorful. Then this dish is to show the original taste of chicken. Its quality is beyond the ordinary, so why pile up vulgar things? Just release its own extraordinaryness, that's enough."
Lei Hua continued, "Bai Feng's quality is extraordinary, and to fully stimulate her extraordinary quality is a test of the chef's ability. There are many things in the world with extraordinary tastes, but they are hidden among the mundane, and discovering them and fully showing their taste is exactly the ability of a chef. Constantly enriching the taste experience, constantly discovering new delicacies, and constantly showing the delicacies for the public to know, this is what a real chef should do."
Yao Ye said, "I've heard rumors in the market that Feihuanglou is not worthy of its name and is only good at raising chickens but not cooking. After seeing it today, I realized that the rumors are really ridiculous."
