Chapter 581
Gu Zheng looked at Jia Si: "I'll handle the ingredients!"
For this finale, Gu Zheng also attaches great importance to it, although there will be dirty work in handling Kunlun snow bears, but because of this, if you don't handle it carefully, it is likely to have an impact on the overall ingredients. After all, this is not a fresh ingredient, and the Kunlun snow bear, which has been frozen for thousands of years, needs to be handled more professionally.
After answering Jia Si's question, Gu Zheng looked at Du Wei again and said, "As for you asking me how to make this finale dish, I think it is the most suitable to make a roasted whole bear!"
"Huh? Roast whole bears?"
Hearing Gu Zheng say this, Jia Si and the others all widened their eyes.
Many things are easy for immortal cultivators to do, but this is roasting a whole bear not a roasted whole pig, this is to roast a big guy weighing a ton!
"That's right, roast whole bears!"
Gu Zheng's affirmation made Jia Si and the others believe that he was really not joking.
Ignoring the surprise of Jia Si and the others, Gu Zheng began to pack up the Kunlun Snow Bear.
After the Kunlun Snow Bear was killed by the Kunlun faction, it was immediately frozen and sealed with immortal art, and now the Kunlun Snow Bear is still staying in a huge ice block.
Kunlun Snow Bear is not just poetry, its meat can be used for alchemy, and bones can be used for refining weapons, otherwise Kunlun would not have sealed it for thousands of years just for a little food.
For Gu Zheng, the Kunlun Snow Bear is a medium-sized ingredient weighing a thousand catties, and the Kunlun pie can contribute a whole Kunlun Snow Bear to make the finale of the dinner, which can also be said to be a big deal.
This time, Gu Zheng cooked the finale, and there were not many onlookers, and the Righteous Path Alliance specially prepared a temporary kitchen for him.
Gu Zheng took out the immortal utensils first, and then made the pot bigger, until it was big enough to easily fit the Kunlun Snow Bear.
The larger pot was placed on a specially built stove, and after Gu Zheng put water in the pot, he began to light a fire to boil the water.
The 'Natal True Water' in his body shook, and Gu Zheng's finger pointed at the ice cube wrapped in the Kunlun Snow Bear.
"Click......"
The use of water control tricks caused the ice cubes wrapped around the Kunlun snow bear to crack, and turned into broken ice in an instant.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, and the Kunlun Snow Bear, which was not wrapped in ice, flew into the pot.
The fire control trick was urged, the water temperature in the pot was getting higher and higher, and the Kunlun Snow Bear's body began to steam. Gu Zheng did this, not to cook the Kunlun Snow Bear, he just wanted the Kunlun Snow Bear to warm up first and defurle it when the water temperature was right.
Under the urging of the immortal arts, the stiff body of the Kunlun Snow Bear quickly softened, and the water temperature reached an appropriate level.
Gu Zheng used the water control trick, and the water in the pot immediately rotated, and the Kunlun Snow Bear, which was originally covered with thick white hair, immediately rotated with the water, and the white hair on its body also continued to detach from its rotation.
After a while, there was no longer a single hair on the Kunlun Snow Bear's body.
The Kunlun snow bear was fished out of the pot, and Gu Zheng washed and peeled it.
After washing and peeling, the Kunlun Snow Bear looked very clean, and after a flash of knife light in Gu Zheng's hand, the bones of its whole body were removed.
Sprinkle the prepared seasoning on the meat of the Kunlun snow bear, and Gu Zheng kneaded the meat in all directions. In addition to making the meat more flavorful, Gu Zheng also used immortal power to shake up the tendons in the meat, so as to make the taste more excellent after cooking.
The cleaned pot was put back on the fire, and Gu Zheng placed a special cage drawer on top of it.
Although this finale dish is roasted at the end, the Kunlun Snow Bear must be steamed before it is grilled.
Putting the Kunlun Snow Bear into the cage drawer, Gu Zheng did not deliberately urge the fire, but just steamed slowly with the charcoal fire. It's still evening, and there's still some time left until tomorrow's noon dinner, so it's not good to get it out too early.
Let the Kunlun snow bear be steamed first, Gu Zheng went to the next room, where the chefs were almost busy taking care of the ingredients, and Gu Zheng gave them answers to some things they didn't understand.
That night, Gu Zheng didn't go back to the residence of the Red Sky Conch Sect, so he stayed in the makeshift kitchen to cultivate, taking care of the fire from time to time.
The next morning.
Xiahou Mountain, who had been away from Blood Tide Island for a while, came back, and when he learned from Lin Yucheng and others what had happened in the past two days, he was silent for a while.
In the end, Xiahou Shan decided that this matter would be over for the time being, and everything would be talked about after the Midyear Festival.
There are still two hours before the start of lunch, and the kitchen where the chefs are is already busy, and some dishes that take a long time are already in the process of cooking.
"It smells so good!"
Ouyang Hai pushed the door and entered the kitchen where Gu Zheng was, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The whole kitchen is filled with aromas, an appetizing smell of meat, plus an elegant floral scent, and the two fragrances are not at all conflicting.
"What's the matter, master?" looked at the huge steamer, Ouyang Hai asked.
"The Kunlun snow bear is now six ripe, and it will take a while to steam it to meet the standards for roasting. ”
Although it was steamed overnight, the Kunlun Snow Bear was a spirit beast after all, and it was such a big one, and its meat was delicious at the same time, it was not so easy to cook.
"It's only six ripe to have such a fragrance, what will happen after it is made, it's really exciting!" Ouyang Haidao.
"Don't worry, you will definitely want to eat it!"
Gu Zheng smiled and began to stir up the fire. The baking process is still time-consuming, and it's time to speed it up.
The fire became bigger, so that the Kunlun Snow Bear soon reached the half-ripe level that Gu Zheng wanted.
Although the Kunlun snow bear is already 60% and half-cooked, this is only for its meat, the skin and tendons and other more difficult tissues are steamed, and the degree of steaming is less than 50%.
Gu Zheng raised his hand, and when he fell again, the 'nail board' transformed by the immortal power pierced many fine holes on the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear, and then he passed the Kunlun Snow Bear through the ice water.
The alternation of hot and cold makes the steamed skin and flesh of Kunlun snow bear shrink, and also makes the excess fat initially seep out, which is more conducive to waiting for roasting.
After the Kunlun Snow Bear was fished out of the icy water, Gu Zheng used his immortal power to evaporate the excess water on it, and then fixed it on a special grill.
After brushing the prepared barbecue juice on the Kunlun Snow Bear, Gu Zheng began to prepare for roasting.
There is an oven in Gu Zheng's complete set of immortal vessels, but this oven has not roasted a big guy like Kunlun Snow Bear since Gu Zheng took over.
With a thought, the originally small oven turned into a behemoth, Gu Zheng put a lot of charcoal in the stove, and then urged it with the fire control technique, and the charcoal soon turned red and reached the burning level he wanted.
The charcoal fire was already suitable, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the Kunlun Snow Bear flew into the oven. The mind moved and moved, and the closed place on the oven was closed, and the Kunlun Snow Bear was now in a closed barbecue space.
I couldn't see anything outside, but Gu Zheng, the owner of the immortal artifact, still knew the situation inside the oven at a glance.
Under the high temperature, the Kunlun snow bear is squeaking and bubbling with oil, and the control of the fire control trick also allows the Kunlun snow bear to be roasted with moderate heat.
The barbecue juice has entered the meat of the Kunlun snow bear, and has a wonderful blend with the bear meat, constantly improving its fresh aroma. In the process of roasting, some imperfect places, Gu Zheng can also control and repair them through fire control and water control techniques.
As time passed, before I knew it, it was noon, and the dishes made by the chefs had been served out one after another.
Today is a dinner party, and it is impossible to serve the dishes for the guests to eat first, and then serve the finale when the meal is almost finished.
The finale will be the last course, but it can't be too late than the chefs' last course, after all, Gu Zheng is also a very important person in the Righteous Path Alliance, and the dinner party will not really start until he comes!
The Kunlun snow bear has been roasted to a certain extent, and at this time it no longer needs Gu Zheng's care at all times, and Gu Zheng can also free his hands to prepare a soup.
Although the finale dish was only roasted whole bears, those Buddhists led by Master Xinjing did not touch meat, so Gu Zheng planned to make a separate soup for them.
The soup made for the people of Buddhism, Gu Zheng had already been boiling it last night.
Scooping out the tofu that had been soaked in the water overnight, the kitchen knife in Gu Zheng's hand was quickly lifted down, and the sound of fine and even knives suddenly sounded.
The tofu is made from fairy soybeans from Kiri-Kaze Island, and after being greatly improved by Gu Zheng's wood recipe, it was soaked in the prepared water overnight. It can be said that even if the tofu is eaten raw, the taste is extremely delicious!
After cutting the tofu, Gu Zheng cut the boiled purple fairy into thin strips, and cut the blanched green jade fairy and red jade fairy into thin strips.
"Come on, it's time for soup!"
Gu Zheng shouted at the outside, and the person in charge of serving the food immediately entered the kitchen.
After putting some purple missing silk silk, green jade fairy rose, and red jade fairy rose into the soup pot, Gu Zheng put a few pieces of tofu in the soup pot with almost no cut marks on the outside.
On the fire on the side, there is a pot of mountain soup that has been stewed all night, and when Gu Zheng lifts the lid of the pot, the kind of fragrance that belongs to the mountain treasure comes to his face.
Scooping up a spoonful of clear soup, Gu Zheng poured it into the soup pot with the ingredients, and suddenly a bright scene appeared.
With the impact of the soup, the tofu that could not be seen turned into tofu shreds, and mixed with the purple Missing Celestial Silk, the green jade fairy rose, and the red jade fairy rose, like a flower with orderly color intervals, blooming delicately in the soup pot.
The lid of the soup pot was closed, and Gu Zheng handed the soup pot to the first person who served the vegetables, and then prepared the second pot of soup.
The people of Buddhism sat at a total of four tables, and when the four pots of soup were sent out of the kitchen, Gu Zheng brewed three bowls of soup with the remaining ingredients and distributed them to Ouyang Hai, Jia Si and Du Wei in the kitchen.
"Master, don't you drink it?" asked Ouyang Hai, who was holding the soup.
"No, you haven't drunk this soup, but I often make it when I was in the very fragrant Xiaozhu. ”
While speaking, Gu Zheng came to the oven again, and used his immortal skills to take care of the Kunlun Snow Bear that was still roasting.
"Master, what's the name of this soup?"
Looking at the bowl of soup in his hand like flowers blooming, Du Wei couldn't bear to swallow it.
"It's called 'Sicai Tofu Soup'. "Gu Zhengdao.
"Good name!"
Du Wei exclaimed, and then took a sip of the 'four-color tofu soup'.
"Hmmm......"
After a mouthful of soup, Du Wei, whose eyes were wide open, made a rather surprised sound.
"What's wrong?" asked Gu Zheng.
"I thought that the tofu in this soup would be very slippery, but I didn't expect it to be so slippery, as soon as I drank it in my mouth, it had already slipped into my stomach!" Du Wei said.
"What does it taste like?" asked Gu Zheng.
"The taste is very good! Although it has not been chewed, the tofu has just been tasted and released, and it is very delicious!"
After Du Wei finished speaking, he was cautious when drinking the soup for the second time, for fear that the shredded tofu in it would accidentally enter his stomach.
This time, Du Wei drank slowly, and the soup in his mouth was no longer only shredded tofu.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
The second sip of soup was in the stomach, and Du Wei said with great emotion. When shredded tofu and purple don't see Tiansi, green jade fairy rose, and red jade fairy rose are chewed together in the mouth, the smooth, crisp and fragrant taste, not to mention how evocative it is.
After drinking the 'four-color tofu soup' of Du Wei and others, the Kunlun snow bear meat in the oven has also been roasted to the point of nine maturity.
With a thought, the lid of the oven opened automatically.
In an instant, the aroma of 'Four-Colored Tofu Soup', which was still in the air, was immediately diluted a lot! At the same time, the four of Du Wei made a deep sniffing sound.
"Goo-dong!"
Jia Si, who had just drunk the 'Four-Colored Tofu Soup', swallowed his saliva fiercely.
"Master, is the whole bear roasted?" Jia Si asked impatiently.
"Not yet, there's one last step!"
The Kunlun Snow Bear had flown out of the oven and froze in mid-air, and Gu Zheng flew up to smear the skin of the queen bee in the bowl with a brush.
"The color is golden, it looks appetizing, and it smells so fragrant, it really makes people drool!"
It is much more difficult for Ouyang Hai to say words that he can't help but drool than his real drooling.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and let the Kunlun Snow Bear fly into the oven, and then closed the lid and continued to roast.
The honey brushed on the skin of the Kunlun snow bear makes the skin of the Kunlun snow bear change from golden yellow to a more tempting jujube red color during the roasting process.
Shen Nian kept an eye on the kitchen next door, and saw that the last dish of the chefs over there had already come out of the pot, and Gu Zheng stepped up to start a charcoal fire.
After a minute, Gu Zheng opened the lid of the oven.
"Hmmm......"
As soon as the lid was opened, Jia Si and Ouyang Hai sniffed deeply at the same time, and they also made amazing sounds at the same time.
If the last time the furnace was opened, the aroma of the meat of the Kunlun Snow Bear was only 'eight', then when it is baked now, its fragrance has reached 'ten' and reached its peak! The fragrance in the air has reached the point where even the ancient people would feel hungry when they heard it.
"This layer of honey not only makes the color more beautiful, but also makes the fragrance more charming! This sweet smell blends into the aroma of the barbecue, not only does people not have the slightest feeling of disgust, but wants to taste it even more!"
Ouyang Hai sighed while placing plates on the board. Although Gu Zheng roasted a whole bear, it still had to be cut into pieces when it was served, because everyone sat at several tables, and naturally there had to be a portion on each table.
"Click......
When Gu Zheng dropped the knife, the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear made a peculiar sound, as if it had ten thousand crisps.
The whole Kunlun snow bear was quickly cut into pieces and plated under Gu Zheng's knife, and one after another, it went up to the table of the dinner.
When Gu Zheng walked to the place of the dinner, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from afar.
"Master Gu, hard work!"
Seeing Gu Zheng coming, almost everyone stood up. If the ancient dispute doesn't come, everyone can't eat, which is really a torment for them.
"Master Gu, this time's finale dish is awesome!"
"It's mouth-watering just by smelling it!"
"The color looks so beautiful! The crystal red skin and the white and tender barbecue meat make people can't wait!"
In the face of everyone's praise, Gu Zheng smiled and clenched his fists, and finally sat down with the Master of Yufeng.
"Everyone, be quiet. ”
The Venerable Jade Peak stood up, and everyone's discussion also stopped.
"According to the convention, since this meal is for the dinner of the battle between good and evil in the Midyear Festival, then before moving the chopsticks, something must be said. ”
Master Yufeng's voice paused, and then he smiled: "Actually, everyone also knows that the words to be said before moving the chopsticks are nothing more than some words that inspire everyone! Today, we don't take the usual path, and I won't say anything superfluous, the only thing I want to tell you ......"
The elongated voice of the Venerable Jade Peak stopped, and after his majestic eyes swept around, he spoke very seriously: "In order to be able to enjoy the delicious food made by the ancient master, in order to be able to protect the things that I want to protect, I still want to see all of you here at the dinner after the Midyear Festival!"
"Good!"
Everyone's responses were uniform, and they were aroused by the simple words of the Master of Yufeng.
However, with the words of the Venerable Master Yufeng, the feeling of boiling blood seemed to dissipate in an instant, and everyone moved their chopsticks together and went straight to the roast bear meat in the center of the table.
"Hey!"
Seeing everyone gobbling up, the Master of Yufeng shook his head and sighed.
However, when Master Yufeng looked down and saw the delicious food on his plate, because his emotion had disappeared somewhat, he immediately seemed to be a different person, and quickly picked up a piece of roast bear meat and put it in his mouth, and chewed it beautifully!
"It's delicious, it tastes amazing!"
"Master Gu, it's amazing!"
"I also ate Kunlun Snow Bear many years ago, and it is also roasted bear meat!
After the people at the table tasted the roast bear meat, they gave feedback to Gu Zheng about their feelings.
In fact, Master Yufeng was not the last person to move chopsticks at this table, Gu Zheng, the cook, only drank a glass of immortal wine at this time, and finally picked up the chopsticks and stretched out to the roast bear meat.
The red skin of the roasted bear meat and jujube looks very beautiful, as if a layer of cooled syrup is hung on it. And this layer of syrup-like substance is actually the essence substance forced out from the skin of Kunlun snow bear through the nectar of queen bee flower, and its taste is very delicious.
