Chapter 26: The Five Factions
Mangshanfang City, Yunshilou.
Xiao Weisheng did not smash the pot and bowl this time, but gathered around an iron pot, scooping up the soup in the pot with a solemn face and tasting it.
This is the iron pot that Shenbao used to cook noodles, and he sent someone to take it to the back kitchen privately. Even a few noodles that sank to the bottom of the pot were not spared, and they were all sorted out for easy study.
"You all try it and see if you can come up with any mysteries."
In fact, Xiao Weisheng himself didn't believe this, he was confused about his dignified Jindan period of cooking and cultivation, and the disciples around him in the foundation building period could figure out the clue before it was called nonsense.
A pot of boiled noodle soup and a few noodles that have been soaked for a long time are completely out of touch with the deliciousness. But they also have to savor it as if it were a delicacy, just to find out what makes the noodles so elastic.
"It's like adding salt, and the amount is very scarce."
"It seems that there is a point, we might as well try to add some salt grains to the noodles."
It's not easy, but you can taste a little salt from the noodles that have been soaked in the soup for a long time, and the taste sensitivity is far more than the average number of people!
As soon as they said they would do it, a group of professional chefs quickly made several doughs, added a small amount, a medium amount, and a large amount of salt grains, and conducted experiments. The result is quite gratifying, and the elasticity of the noodles with a small amount of salt grains has been significantly improved.
Xiao Weisheng smiled after tasting it, but quickly sank again: "Adding salt is indeed effective, but it is much worse than the noodles made by small mongrels, there must be something else, think about it again." ”
The tongue is out of line, so you can only try any messy spices.
Soon they were in tears as they ate all kinds of noodles they had made out of their own mouth, with chili powder, sugar, tendons, fish puree, bone marrow, and even mud......
Xiao Weisheng really wanted to wield the flame pot and smash this group of fools to death, if Shen Bao added these things under his nose, how could he not be detected!
The only thing that has been found to have an effect and can enhance the elasticity of noodles is egg white, and Xiao Weisheng can be sure that Shenbao has not added it. It's a rare event, at least the salt and egg whites can make noodles that are much more elastic. Of course, that's compared to the previous noodles.
As for the barbecue powder, which is easier to crack?
The tiger arm was not left to Xiao Weisheng at all, and he directly sent his disciples to carry it back to the Juli Sect.
Before Xiao Weisheng could open his mouth to ask for it, Tiger Arm asked rhetorically: "All the ingredients and utensils of Yang Ji's barbecue are brought from the Juli Sect, and the owner of the Xiao Mansion will not want to ask for it from my Juli Sect, right?" ”
Unlike the auxiliary sect of Baicaofang, the Juli Sect was born with a group of violent war cultivators. This group of muscular people in their brains are beaten and killed, and they never engage in hypocrisy.
Why did Tiger Arm carry the barbecue grill back?
Could it be that the Juli Sect also wants to crack the secret recipe?
Well, Tiger Arm simply doesn't want to make progress in barbecue. Because Julizong also has a barbecue restaurant of its own, it is not chilling to earn spirit stones.
Yang Sheng carefully collected the cumin pepper powder sprinkled on the barbecue rack, and tried hard to crack the ingredients.
Liu Xing took out more than a dozen noodles from his cuffs halfway through, and he secretly hid them in his sleeves when people were not paying attention. The price of this golden silk silkworm robe is as high as 8,000 spirit stones, and he is usually reluctant to get dirty, but now he doesn't care about being stained with soup and oil.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Lingyun Sect was to report to the head of the sect, gathering several senior cultivators from the Danfang elders and deacons of the gang to try to study the secrets of noodles.
They didn't know the secret recipe for noodles, which was regarded as the most precious thing, so they piled up several large cauldrons in the small cabin behind their house, but the makers were three lowly 'grain farmers' in the early stage of qi refining. They didn't even know that there were three disciples in the sect: Shishi, Liuzi, and Shuiwa.
The Green Lantern Palace didn't put her mind on cracking the secret recipe, and Hua Meiniang wanted to directly get Shen Bao, a kitchen cultivator with unlimited potential. Even if those sects crack one or two secret recipes, Shenbao will definitely have more new dishes in hand.
Hua Meiniang is not good at cooking, but she can look at people, especially men.
Shen Bao replied to Xiao Weisheng but said: Xiao Lou is afraid that he has misunderstood, and the low level I just said is not limited to barbecue. But...... All the snacks present were present.
The types of snacks present at the cloud food building at that time, Lin Lin finally counted thirty or forty dishes. The big wooden box called Chen Er's follower, which contained all kinds of colorful small porcelain bottles, was definitely not a mouthful!
Qingyun and Qingyu are her beloved disciples, but compared with the long-term interests of the Green Lantern Palace, they can also be sacrificed. Besides, although this kid's cultivation qualifications are ordinary, his ability to earn spirit stones is very high, do you still need to worry about the cultivation speed of such a long-term meal ticket?
If it weren't for her own lover taking the lead, Hua Meiniang wouldn't even mind going to win over Shenbao in person. Don't look at her nearly sixty years old, because of taking the top-grade Zhuyan Dan, she is still charming and moving, and her figure is even more convex and backward.
Corpse Shanhai also didn't put his mind on cracking the secret recipe, but sent many disciples to find out the origin of Shen Bao - it was really difficult for these ghost monks who were accompanied by corpses and rotten flesh all day long to ponder their cooking skills.
Unlike Yunshilou, the Yin Ghost Gate is not afraid of Baicaofang.
For the sake of the newly discovered spiritual ore veins in Liuhe Village, they dared to fight head-on with the Giant Power Sect against the natal ghouls behind their backs, not to mention a hundred herb workshop for refining pills!
But this newly emerged kitchen repair is not only involved in Baicaofang, but also hooked up with the chick of the Green Lantern Palace. The meaning of Liu Xing of the Lingyun faction is also obvious, and he tries his best to win over the other party.
No matter how arrogant the corpse mountains and seas were, they didn't dare to offend the four local major factions of the Juli Sect, Baicaofang, Qinglan Palace, and Lingyun Sect at the same time. Therefore, we can only quietly explore it and then consider it, and it is best to reach some kind of cooperation. If this kid has to hook up with the Juli Sect, he can only send Gao Xiu to wait for the opportunity to assassinate him.
A snack competition, the complacent organizer Fang Yun Restaurant lost bleakly.
The mysterious Shenbao earned enough attention, and also stirred up the layout of the five major schools.
……
Lingyun faction, a large wooden house in the back mountain.
"Ten pounds of flour and six egg whites, not egg yolks. Add four bowls of cold water and a spoonful of salt, knead into a dough, smear a thin layer of oil on the cutting board, cover with a cloth and wait for half an hour......"
Shen Bao is busy teaching several grain farmers how to make noodles, which can be described as the most 'scientific' method of making noodles, and his professionalism far exceeds the knowledge of cooking skills in other worlds.
What is a professional law? It looks very ordinary, but at most it uses some materials to increase toughness.
The cooking skills of this world actually focus on individual skills, and there is no fixed value standard. That is to say, how much flour to take, how much water to add, and how much time to wake up each time all depend on the personal experience of the chef, and there is no unified measurement method.
In this way, it naturally increases the importance of the chef himself, and at the same time makes it difficult to reproduce production in batches.
Of course, in such a low-productivity environment as the Otherworld, there is actually no need for batch copying!
Shen Bao is different, he goes for low-end snacks, not exquisite delicacies for high cultivation. What is needed is easy production, reproducibility, low difficulty, and quantitative standards, otherwise where will he find a batch of obedient and confidential kitchen repairs!
Shen Bao never believed that there was a secret recipe that could be kept 100% of the time, and it was nothing more than to delay the leakage time through reasonable measures.
This batch of selected miners did not have the ability to leave the Lingyun Sect alone, and they did not participate in the core processes such as alkali making and salt brine, as long as they were prevented from running to the Lingyun Sect monks to leak secrets, they still belonged to the controllable stage.
Kneading their dough, Shen Bao threw out the sweet dates: "Sun Maohe's noodles feel the best, reward half a spirit stone, and make up twenty spirit stones in exchange for a body refining pill." Everyone else has to study hard, as long as you work hard, you can all become immortals in the future! ”
"Half a spirit stone, you can also exchange it for a body refining pill. Don't worry, you have to work hard, who doesn't want to be a fairy! ”
"yes, it's much better than mining. If it weren't for the treasure master in our batch of mine slaves, everyone would not be where they are today. ”
"Bao Ye, I report, Zhou Amido put an egg!"
"Good job, you also have half a spirit stone, Zhou Ami's meat dishes will be halved tonight."
With a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, Shenbao quickly controlled these people.
In other words, Chen Er, who has a violent personality, will not give any sweet dates at all, and directly greet his face with his fist.
However, as a civilized person, Shenbao pays more attention to giving them hope and hope, rather than fists and despair.
Anyway, the biggest dream of these people from mining slaves is to become immortals, so that they can exchange their work for the opportunity to become monks, which can arouse their enthusiasm for work. Differentiating and supervising each other is the management model that Shenbao is most familiar with, but he belonged to the managed in this system in his previous life.
……
Three days was a short time, and Shen Bao's group of people were tired and tired to finally make 10,000 catties of dough and led twenty mules and horses on the road in rags.
With the approval of the deacon in the miscellaneous room, the disciples stationed in the mountain gate routinely checked it, and it was all ordinary dough with no oil and water to fish, so they were released directly.
They didn't know that this batch of 10,000 catties of dough would become dozens of times the profit after arriving in Mangshanfang City!
On the way, the monks were even more uninterested when they saw this group of tattered grain farmer caravans, and they couldn't find a place to sell the spiritual valley they had robbed, and they had to eat for as long as they wanted!
What's more, the leading mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator was wearing the Lingyun Sect's clothes, although it was tattered, it was embroidered with that little golden cloud. risking his life for these hundred or so spirit stones, his blood is lost.
Chen Er has been escorted more than a dozen times on this trade route, and it can be said that he has pondered through various situations.
If the leading monk is more cultivated, the more likely it is to arouse the greed of passing monks. Like himself, who was dressed in tattered Gu peasant clothes in the middle of Qi refining, even the monks stationed at the gate of Fang City were too lazy to check, and they were directly released after paying the commodity tax.
Wu Su woke up before the rooster crowed, and went to the back kitchen to inspect several times to ensure that all kinds of seasonings and meat were sufficient.
The person guarding the kitchen was not an outsider, but Yuan Hong's personal disciple Sun Xi: "Uncle Shi doesn't need to worry, give him Xiao Weisheng five dares and don't dare to run to make trouble." Team leader Liu also arranged two patrolling monks outside the door of the store, and grabbed them with a sword to stab them through. ”
"It's better to be careful, Xiao Weisheng lost too badly this time, and it's hard to guarantee that we will hold back some bad tricks."
"What kind of snack contest did he do first to cut off our financial route, and his skills are not as good as others, so he deserves it. In my opinion, Shenbao shouldn't have stopped, and directly overturned all the vendors present, to see who would dare to argue with us in the future! ”
"It seems that what your master said is right, your kid is becoming more and more wild now, and it is time to be restrained."
"When you are young, you should be frivolous, and you will not waste when you are old."
"I'll go and see if the secret door has picked up Chen Er, you should pay attention to yourself."
"Don't worry."
