Chapter 31 Fermented Chicken (1)

On the way back, Chu Yunmeng kept thinking about what to do with the chicken.

Shredded chicken, platter chicken, crispy chicken, mushroom chicken...

No, if you want to make it delicious, most of it requires ingredients and seasonings that will only be available in later generations.

In this era when seasonings are so scarce, how is it possible for four pheasants to make different dishes? It has to be delicious!

Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng turned around and continued running towards Zhuang Ming's house.

He has been in and out of high-ranking families all year round, so he must know that in this era, high-ranking ministers and even princes would use spices that ordinary people did not know.

No matter how bad it is, you can still find a lot of inspiration by learning about contemporary food culture from him.

As soon as Chu Yunmeng rushed in, she saw Zhuang Ming preparing to go out.

"Sir, can you tell me about the food at the prince's house today?" Chu Yunmeng asked Zhuang Ming: "For example, are there any sour or spicy seasonings in their commonly used sauces?"

"Oh? Do you also know about this?" Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows.

"I've heard a little bit..." Chu Yunmeng became cautious again.

In order to prevent the other party from worrying too much, he simply changed the topic: "Now that I have a clearer understanding and a broader knowledge, I can cook Mr.'s four wild pheasants more deliciously——"

Zhuang Ming was so frightened by Chu Yunmeng's sudden coquettishness that he jumped back, then waved his hand and left.

"Let's finish the first pheasant first. I said it will be in three days. I don't have time today."

It seemed that he wanted to fend for himself...Chu Yunmeng was dumbfounded again.

If you do it yourself, do it yourself! Having you is a plus, and I can still do it without your aunt! She hummed in her heart.

After eating all the delicacies accumulated by the food culture for thousands of years, you can’t believe it but you have never met the Warring States Period tongue!

She continued to list the chicken-related dishes she had seen and tasted.

By the way, beer chicken!

There is no beer in this era, so is there no liquor or fermented glutinous rice? It seems that distiller’s yeast has already appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!

Let's make fermented chicken. It seems that this dish was often eaten by postpartum women in later generations. It is said to be very nutritious.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunmeng looked at his thin body and smiled, he just needed to replenish himself.

After going to the distiller's yeast shop to buy fermented glutinous rice grains, Chu Yunmeng began to try making it.

After trying it several times, I found that this fermented chicken seems to taste better without seasoning than with seasoning.

Based on the principle of supplementing and supplementing, she threw some wolfberry into the glutinous rice chicken and found that it tasted better!

The sweetness of the rice wine and the sweetness and sourness of the wolfberry blend into the chicken, and the taste is unbelievable.

While waiting for Zhuang Ming to visit Yunmengju and eat his own wild pheasant, the beggar chicken in Yunmengju became more and more popular.

From the common people in the countryside to the nobles and nobles, from the diners in the lobby to members of the diners, they are all talking about this chicken that looks ugly but tastes extremely delicious, and they all place orders in advance.

Yunmengju has reached the point where it can sell nearly 300 beggar's chickens a day. Chu Yunmeng has basically nothing else to do these days except making beggar's chickens.

In this era when there is no feed to quickly grow chickens, poultry also grows very slowly in winter.

As a result, the chickens in Yingdu became less and less expensive, and the price of chickens in Yunmengju increased from 300 yuan to 500 yuan in ten days. The price of beggar chickens in Yunmengju also increased from 400 yuan to 600 yuan.

Money. But this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of diners.

What's more important is that you can't buy it even if you have money.

"Boss, the merchant who often supplies us said that all the chickens they can find have been sold out. Even if we pay 600 yuan, they still don't have them..."

Ah Tian looked downcast and said to Chu Yunmeng: "Why don't you use the chickens from our chicken farm..."

"No, it's not time yet!" Chu Yunmeng flatly refused.

Yes, Chu Yunmeng kept a secret from the moment he asked Ah Tian to purchase a large number of adult chickens and chicks.

Every day from then on, she asked Ah Tian to buy 70 or 80 more chickens based on the customer's demand, at a price of 300 to 400 yuan.

Over the past few days, there have been more than 700 live roosters stored in the chicken farm near Yunmeng Mountain.

"Go to Butcher Hu and ask if he has any. If that doesn't work, ask Mr. Zhuang. He should also have a lot of chickens on hand."

Chu Yunmeng finally suggested: "If that doesn't work, take 300 chickens from the chicken farm, announce it to the diners, and just rest for a while."

Ah Tian finally managed to get 300 chickens from Butcher Hu and Zhuang Ming.

That night, when the diners wanted to make another decision, Chu Yunmeng refused.

"Everyone, thank you for your love of this dish, and thank you for your love for Yunmengju.

It’s just that everyone knows that the price of a whole chicken has now risen to 500 yuan a piece, and there is no market for it.

Yunmengju also had a hard time finding 300 chickens today. In line with the attitude of being responsible to everyone, Yunmengju will suspend the supply of beggar's chickens after today."

"Why is this like this, Shopkeeper Yun! Even if the price is increased, it's okay, but suddenly there is no chicken to eat. I'm not used to it..." someone shouted.

"Everyone, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. There are no chickens in the pot. We have collected the money and can't bring out the chickens tomorrow. Where is the reputation of Yunmengju?" Chu Yunmeng answered patiently.

"How about this? Let's pay you the deposit first. When the chickens are available, they will be served to us. How about that?" someone suggested.

"This..." Chu Yunmeng said, "The price of chickens is uncertain now. If the deposit is not enough for one chicken, our small business cannot afford to lose..."

"Besides, if there are no chickens all the time and they keep pressing on us, it will also delay you, right?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Someone asked angrily: "It's too expensive and we can't fix it later."

"This method is possible, but it will still delay everyone's use of money. Besides, Yunmengju dare not make promises to everyone if it is uncertain."

Chu Yunmeng smiled awkwardly.

"In this way, everyone will take the money back first. When we buy the chickens, we will notify everyone and price them according to the current market price. How about you make a decision?"

"This is the only way..." There was a sigh from the crowd.

"Shopkeeper, someone just proposed to increase the price. Why not take advantage of the situation to increase the price and use the chickens from our chicken farm, instead of making everyone wait for a while?"

Walking into the courtyard where he lived, Ah Tian asked Chu Yunmeng in confusion.

“If we follow their advice and increase the price today, they will think it is too expensive and not worth it later, and they will only blame us.

Let them wait for a few days to whet their appetite, and then announce the price under the new market price. After many times of dissuasion, you and I agree, so you can’t blame us...

Now not only do we need chickens, other restaurants and restaurants will also need chickens for their dishes. When the price of chickens rises again, we will sell some of them and use the other part to supply a limited supply of beggar's chickens. Isn't that good..."

After hearing these words, Ah Tian broke into a cold sweat: I have never seen a boss who is so good at calculating!
