Chapter 384
[Chapter 384 Incomplete ancient recipes, Dong’an chicken!
Next “up for auction is an old and mutilated cookbook from England.”
“The specific age has not been verified, and it can only be determined that it is at least a thousand years ago.”
“The auction price and collection value have been certified by this auction house and have a special certificate.
“The starting price of this recipe is 12 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 1 million. Now it is officially started!”
The auctioneer’s words caught Xie Jun’s attention.
The reserve price of an incomplete recipe was as high as 12 million, which surprised him a bit.
From the explanation of the auctioneer’s “240” just now, we can know that this incomplete recipe does not even have a name.
But the cloth that records the recipe is at least more than a thousand years old, and the recognizable recipes in it have attracted Xie Jun’s interest.
Broiler, ginger, green onion, wine, vinegar..
Some of the ingredients and cooking process instantly made Xie Jun feel a little familiar.
……
Holy crap, isn’t this the way of Dong’an Chicken?
If you think about it carefully, these ingredients and cooking process are very similar to the “Donganzi Chicken” in the western Hunan area of Xia.
Is this auction house crazy about money?
There are recipes in modern times, and they dare to put them up for auction.
But on second thought, Xie Jun felt something was wrong.
The auction house has been helping fundraising companies auction things off.
The fundraising company is backed by international research societies and more than a dozen groups.
I want to be more familiar with cooking.
It is impossible for these people not to know the famous dishes in western Hunan.
If so, can it be put up for auction?
The value of this recipe is clearly extraordinary.
“It won’t be the original orphan of [Dongan Ziji], right?”
Xie Jun muttered to himself.
Legend has it that this famous dish was created in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years.
Interesting to say, this dish also has a small story in the folklore of Xia.
It is rumored that during the first year of Emperor Xuanzong’s reign in Tang Dynasty, there were merchants who were on their way and passed by a small restaurant in Dong’an County in western Hunan at night.
The owner, Lao Ou, had no choice but to grab a brood and kill it now.
The young chicken is seasoned with onion, ginger, garlic, and spicy, stir-fried with sesame oil, and then cooked with wine, vinegar, salt, and smoke.
This dish is made of red oil everywhere, shiny and crystal, delicious and tender.
The guests were full of praise and delighted.
After hearing about it, the local magistrate personally went to the store to taste it, and it really lived up to its reputation, and called it “Dong’an Chicken”.
Not only that, this dish was also introduced to the ears of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was later included in one of the famous court dishes.
It has been circulated for thousands of years, and now it has become one of the representative works of Xiangxi.
However, Dong’an chicken has been passed down for thousands of years and has been changed by countless generations.
No one knows the full original recipe for this dish.
In fact, Xie Jun doesn’t know whether the popular method is better now, or the ancient method is better.
No one can tell Bi Jing’s cooking in this regard.
No matter what age people are, creativity should not be underestimated.
Since the ancients more than a thousand years ago were able to create dishes that have been passed down for so many years, it obviously has its uniqueness.
If we only discuss the historical value of this recipe, the auction price of more than 10 million yuan is not too expensive.
After all, this is probably something from the Tang Dynasty, and the price is not outrageous.
Xie Jun was a little moved and wanted to take a picture of this incomplete recipe.
Unfortunately, the system is still in the process of upgrading.
Otherwise, it is possible to identify whether it is a legendary recipe.
“What? Xie Jun wants this recipe?”
Alice looked at Xie Jun with bright eyes, and her hands began to move.
At this time, the auctioneer spoke up.
“1500!
Many people said that they looked at Xie Jun and others from different places.
Most of the people present were businessmen, but they were not actually interested in the recipes.
But if the recipe delivers great value, that’s another story.
Seeing that the eldest young lady of Nakiri’s family and the eldest young master of the reconciliation family participated in the auction,
Many people have strange thoughts in their hearts.
After all, Xie Jun is from the Xia country, and these 3.5 incomplete recipes also come from that magical country.
Many people are already faintly excited, wanting to have a glimpse of the secret of this recipe.
Of course, due to the wealth of the Xie family and the Nakiri family, most people did not take action.
The auctioneer waited for a while, and seeing that no one continued to bid, he was about to hit the hammer.
Sudden.
The big screen on the display stage suddenly jumped, and a conspicuous number appeared.
“30005!
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
They all looked at the man standing in the corner.
