“南粤称臣兮，归一统；纸包金鸡兮，定乾坤。”说起纸包鸡，我就会经常想起奶奶的手艺。虽然我们有很多店子都有纸包鸡买，但无论去到哪里，味道总是不尽人意，总是觉得差点什么。那日，我匆匆赴乡，为了那让我魂牵梦萦的味道。
When it comes to paper wrapped chickens, I often think of my grandmother's craftsmanship. Although we have many shops where we can buy paper wrapped chicken, no matter where we go, the taste is always unsatisfactory and we always feel like something is missing. That day, I hurriedly went to the countryside for the scent that haunted my dreams.
奶奶一大早便已买好了三黄鸡，早早进行腌制，因为就光是腌制这一道程序，就需要五个小时。奶奶将鸡洗净，放入盆中，加入适量的白糖、五香粉、胡椒粉、味精和生葱，再倒入酱油和白酒。我看着奶奶用她粗糙的手将鸡涂抹均匀，鸡肉的颜色瞬间从白色变为棕色。等到下午，鸡肉已经腌制完毕，奶奶又手起刀落，快速地将鸡去头去脚，那熟练的刀功让我瞠目结舌。将鸡肉切成一块块后，奶奶就把它们放入锅中，用生油轻轻炸，再捞起。纸包鸡的点睛之笔就在于“纸”——玉扣纸，我学着奶奶的手法，用玉扣纸将切好的鸡块包好。大粒的油珠在锅里滚动，瞬间连成一片，玉扣纸逐渐被渲染成酱色，浮出油面，就大功告成了。金灿灿的纸包鸡出锅了，发出了诱人的光泽，晶莹透亮，看着这色香味俱全的纸包鸡，我不禁“口水直流三千尺”。我马上就能吃到这朝思暮想的味道了！< zuowEnBa.NeT >
Grandma bought three yellow chickens early in the morning and started marinating them early because just marinating takes five hours. Grandma washed the chicken and put it into a basin. Add some white sugar, five spice powder, pepper, MSG and green onions, and then pour in soy sauce and Baijiu. I watched my grandmother spread the chicken evenly with her rough hands, and the color of the chicken instantly changed from white to brown. By the afternoon, the chicken had already been marinated, and my grandmother picked up the knife and quickly removed the chicken's head and feet. Her skilled swordsmanship left me stunned. After cutting the chicken into pieces, grandma put them in a pot, lightly fry them with oil, and then scoop them up. The finishing touch of wrapping chicken in paper lies in the "paper" - jade buckle paper. I learned my grandmother's technique and wrapped the cut chicken pieces in jade buckle paper. The large oil droplets rolled in the pot, instantly connecting into one piece. The jade buckle paper was gradually rendered into a sauce color, floating out of the oil surface, and the job was done. The golden paper wrapped chicken has come out of the pot, emitting a tempting luster, crystal clear and transparent. Looking at this paper wrapped chicken with perfect color, aroma and taste, I can't help but salivate three thousand feet. I will soon be able to taste the flavor that I have been longing for all day!
奶奶将做好的纸包鸡从厨房端出来，还未上桌，远远就闻到它香喷喷的肉味。一方酱色的小油纸包着的洁白小碟放在面前，用小刀划出一个十字架，一股浓郁芳香随之扑鼻而来。轻轻地撕开玉扣纸，鲜美的鸡汁从鸡肉夹缝间缓缓流下，金光灿灿的纸包鸡奇妙地飘出了竹子那沁人心脾的缕缕清香，这是以新鲜的嫩竹和清澈的山泉水所制成的玉扣纸独有的香气，真的是“玉纸轻挑满园香”。我缓缓地将鸡肉放入口中，鲜美甘嫩，鸡味浓郁，醇而不腻……静静地感受口中咸甜交错的美味，一股幸福的暖流传遍全身。
Grandma brought out the paper wrapped chicken she had prepared from the kitchen, and before it was served, she could smell its delicious meat flavor from afar. A small white dish wrapped in a sauce colored oiled paper was placed in front of me, and a small knife was used to draw a cross, accompanied by a strong aroma. Gently tearing open the jade buckle paper, the delicious chicken juice slowly flowed down from between the chicken pieces. The golden light wrapped chicken miraculously wafted out the refreshing fragrance of bamboo, which is the unique aroma of jade buckle paper made from fresh tender bamboo and clear mountain spring water. It is truly a "jade paper lightly carrying the fragrance of the garden". I slowly put the chicken into my mouth, delicious and tender, with a strong chicken flavor, mellow but not greasy... quietly feeling the delicious mix of salt and sweetness in my mouth, a warm stream of happiness spreads throughout my body.
“长江绕郭知鱼美，好竹连山觉笋香。”这世间，唯有纸包鸡不可辜负，因为，那里有奶奶的味道，爱的味道。
The Yangtze River winds around Guo to appreciate the beauty of fish, and the bamboo connects the mountains to feel the fragrance of bamboo shoots. In this world, only paper wrapped chicken cannot be let down, because there is the taste of grandmother and love.
