Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country-Chapter 204 - 205: The Dish Outshines the Flower—Furong Chicken Slices

Wang Fan is preparing to make Hibiscus Chicken Fillet, using a whole chicken breast. However, to make the texture of the chicken breast smoother and more tender, he innovatively plans to add some water chestnut and fresh bass meat.

Water chestnut is not a horse's hoof, but a type of herbaceous plant, known in some places as cigu. It has a slightly refreshing taste with a certain sweetness, crispy and juicy texture, resembling the taste of a pear to many people.

As for the delicacy of the fish meat, needless to say.

Throw the chicken breast, cleaned water chestnuts, and bass meat into a blender, and as the blender starts to work, the ingredients gradually blend into a paste, then merge together, becoming inseparable.

In a large bucket, set up a sieve bucket, pour the finished paste into it, and the delicate paste seeps through the sieve holes continuously, while the chicken breast's tendons are left in the sieve bucket. This affects the taste and naturally cannot be used.

After sieving three times, Wang Fan is satisfied to obtain the final chicken puree.

At this moment, a large pot is still on the stove, slowly stewing chicken soup which is the most crucial part for seasoning Hibiscus Chicken Fillet. It's been stewing for three hours now.

Add egg white and cornstarch to the puree and mix evenly, then pass it through the sieve three more times!

"Wow, no wonder Boss Wang is so meticulous, making a dish and going through the sieve six times!"

"Boss Wang must be a Virgo, his attention to detail is truly extreme."

"Haha, Boss Wang's attention to detail is a good thing, ultimately benefitting us diners!"

After the final sieve, Wang Fan nods satisfactorily, and by the time he finishes everything, it is already 10:30.

Wang Fan addressed the diners, saying, "Get ready to pick up your meal according to number, rice and celery with peanuts are placed over in the corner, just remember how many bowls you've eaten and pay together at the end."

"Eh?? We can dine so early today?"

"That's great, seems like this dish is quick stir-fried."

"Either way, getting to taste Boss Wang's freshly made cuisine makes the day worthwhile."

Wang Fan has already set up the oil pan, scooping a spoonful of chicken puree into the oil pan when the oil is just simmering at moderate temperature.

Because the oil temperature isn't high, there won't be any splashes, and the chicken puree floats in the middle-upper layer of the oil pan. Under Wang Fan's control, the chicken fillets remain as round and half-palm-sized pieces.

In just over ten seconds, the chicken fillets gradually turn pure white and float atop the oil.

After scooping out one piece, he quickly ladles several spoonfuls of chicken puree into the oil pan again, soon the pan is filled with floating white round chicken fillets.

Wang Fan scoops them out one by one and rinses them briefly in boiling water, before stacking them neatly on the cutting board.

Next actions make everyone widen their eyes in astonishment.

"???" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Was I just caught in a time freeze?"

"Can someone tell me what just happened? Why do I feel like I just blinked and there are suddenly two flowers?"

"Is Boss Wang performing magic tricks for us here?"

No wonder the diners are so shocked.

We're all staring at you, and right in front of us, you turned a stack of chicken fillets into two plates of hibiscus flowers in an instant; what could this be if not magic?

You couldn't achieve this without the equivalent of decades of single life muscular arm strength!

Zhuo Qianqian, standing nearby, clearly watched Wang Fan's meticulous operation.

He was originally making a normal cut on the chicken fillets, but the key was the swift movement after making the cut, turning the cut chicken fillets together and placing them into the plate neatly, forming a hibiscus flower with the chicken fillets.

This operation is something many can accomplish, but Boss Wang's speed is astonishing!

In the blink of an eye, it's completed, leaving anyone who wasn't paying attention wondering if they were seeing things.

Wang Fan has no time to bother with the crowd's bewildered reactions; the chicken soup is ready, from which he scoops two spoonfuls into a pan, adding peas, goji berries, cornstarch, and simple seasonings, stirring evenly before pouring it directly over the hibiscus flowers in the white porcelain dish.

And this pour is definitely the finishing touch!

The original Hibiscus Chicken Fillet, beautiful as it was, lacked soul; this spoonful of sauce endowed it with its essence.

Green peas, red goji berries, aromatic, steaming golden chicken soup directly enhanced the purely white hibiscus chicken fillets, making them seem otherworldly.

Amid the mist, it truly seems as though a hibiscus flower is blooming.

The scene was a remarkable demonstration to the diners.

"Wow… Is this even a dish anymore? It feels more like a work of art!"

"How am I supposed to eat this? Made this way, who bears to disturb it with chopsticks?"

"I think this hibiscus flower looks better than the actual flower, and it smells even better."

"This dish is beautiful to the extreme! Taking a piece feels almost criminal!"

Chen Shuo and Xu Yan were fortunate to be first in line, but now looking at the two plates of Hibiscus Chicken Fillet in front of them, they really couldn't bear to make the first move.

Though the delicious aroma of chicken constantly tempted their senses, the artistic arrangement leaves them reluctant to act, rendering them quite conflicted!

After pondering for a moment, Chen Shuo suggests, "I'll eat yours, you eat mine?"

Xu Yan, saying nothing, merely nods.

Then they reach out with their chopsticks directly into each other's plates.

Though appearing unnecessary, it indeed helped remove the mental barrier, allowing them to actually take a piece of chicken fillet into their mouths.

Having taken a bite, Chen Shuo intensely wants to tug his tongue and ask—could it really be this silky?!

The instant the chicken fillet touches the palate, its light, airy texture conquers the tip of the tongue, its silkiness is beyond words.

The flavor isn't heavy, just a faint hint of salt, yet the rich savory taste of chicken soup has already captivated the taste buds.

Though it's still chicken soup, this version is distinct from the previous chicken stewing with pig stomach, each having its own unique character.

Having watched Wang Fan add water chestnuts to the chicken breast, upon tasting carefully one can sense a refreshing sweetness, but its delicate texture makes it hardly discernible its composition.

"Is this the legendary invisible chicken dish?"

Chen Shuo remarks, then picks up another piece of chicken fillet, placing it atop rice, eating them together.

With the addition of rice, the meal takes on a more substantial feel, bringing an unparalleled heavy yet warm sensation of satisfaction, unlike anything he had experienced before.

Indeed, everything can go with rice!
