Chapter 005: Buying Ingredients
In front of Gu Zheng, there were only a few small things left. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A bottle of honey with only fifty milliliters, this bottle of honey is Gu Zheng's own reward for a food contest review, and it is the highest reward, that's all.
At the beginning, the organizer said that this kind of honey collection is extremely difficult, there is a kind of red juan flower in a few mountains in Yunnan-Guizhou region, the nectar of this flower is different from other flowers, not only with a thorough fragrance, but also can clear the mind, nourish the brain, this flower is the more smelled more spiritual, if you work under this flower, you can get twice the result with half the effort.
The honey collected from the red juan flower is sweeter than ordinary honey, and the most important thing is that when you take a sip of this honey, the fragrance can moisten the heart, and you will be refreshed all day long.
The number of red juan flowers is not much, the amount of honey that can be collected every year is very small, the price is extremely expensive, the organizer took out the reward is only one hundred milliliters, and the other fifty milliliters have been drunk by Gu Zheng himself in this year's time, the taste is very good, and it can also refresh, which is also the most important collection of Gu Zheng ingredients.
And out of all the ingredients, only this one was rated as ordinary.
Next to the honey is a wild ginseng, decades of pure wild ginseng, which is the ingredient left by Gu Zheng's father, who will come back every year for a period of time, and will live with his son, which is the adjunct he uses to make soup.
Next to the wild ginseng, it is the one that Gu Zheng did not expect the most.
This is a can of sorghum rice, which Gu Zheng bought online, and the online store seller said that this is his own planting, pure natural sorghum rice, without using any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and it is also planted next to the mountain spring, and the taste is very good. Gu Zheng didn't fully believe it at the beginning, but seeing that the seller's introduction was so good and the price was not expensive, he bought a jar and came back, and he never ate it.
Wild ginseng and sorghum rice are all second-class ingredients, and there are two bottles of seasoning, which Gu Zheng's father brought back from abroad and were rated as second-class.
An ordinary ingredient, plus three second-class ingredients and two second-class seasonings from the water source, this is the usable ingredient that Gu Zheng found out after rummaging through all the ingredients in the house, such a few things, let alone three people, one person is not enough, and he can't make the food he wants at all.
Moreover, the fine olive oil in his kitchen was rated as low, and the salt and vinegar soy sauce were all garbage, and there was no way to cook.
"Gu Zheng, what are you doing, why haven't you started yet?"
Wang Tao came over to fetch the water, standing at the door of the kitchen and looking at him suspiciously, if he didn't know that Gu Zheng didn't like people next to him when he was cooking, and he wouldn't even let him in the kitchen, they would have come over to help a long time ago.
"If you don't do it today, you don't have enough things at home, you go out to eat first, tomorrow, when you all come over tomorrow night, I will make an absolutely hearty delicacy, guaranteed to be a delicacy that you have never tasted!"
Gu Zheng almost gritted his teeth when he said these words, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this damn test was so strict, she couldn't do it with these things in front of her alone, so she could only drag it back for a day.
If it drags on for one day, the pressure on Gu Zheng will be greater, he only has three days, and he must conquer the taste buds of the three people in these three days and make what they think is the best in their lives, otherwise he will be wiped out.
In order to keep himself, in order not to be obliterated, Gu Zheng could only let go.
"So, well!"
Wang Tao was a little disappointed, but soon became extremely expectant, Gu Zheng can say, to make a meal they have never eaten, and to ensure the best deliciousness.
The things Gu Zheng made were originally delicious, they had never eaten them, they were guaranteed to be the best, there was really such a delicious thing, even if they waited for one more day, they believed in Gu Zheng very much, they had been together for so many years, they knew each other very well, Gu Zheng never said big things, and he would definitely do it when he said it.
Gu Zheng was not with the three of them at night, and after sending the three of them away, he immediately called a car to go to the market, the test was so strict, Gu Zheng didn't know what the gluttonous immortal used to divide the level of ingredients, if he didn't find enough ingredients to use, he would fail this test.
Time was tight and he couldn't afford to waste a little time.
"This is a very good Malay bird's nest, although it is a white bird's nest, but it is already rare, and the grade is actually garbage?"
Not long after going to the market, Gu Zheng kept howling in his heart, many ingredients were directly defined as garbage, and even poisonous ingredients appeared, which made Gu Zheng not surprised, but he didn't expect that the bird's nest that he saw with his eyes lit up, the high-quality bird's nest from Malaysia, was actually a garbage ingredient.
The value of this kind of bird's nest is not low, and Gu Zheng himself can identify a lot of ingredients, it can be seen that this is a really good bird's nest, I thought how could I identify a second-class result, but I didn't think it was garbage.
"Lord Gluttonous Immortal is extremely strict with the division of ingredients, what is not garbage with saliva, this kind of garbage ingredients you want to eat can be, but it must not be used for this test!"
The voice of the machine spirit was flat, and it seemed to be a little arrogant.
"Count you ruthless!" Gu Zheng was stunned in his heart, and finally scolded and stopped talking.
"Spinach, tempeh, garbage!"
"Fresh peas, almonds, inferior!"
Gu Zheng kept listening to all kinds of garbage and low-grade evaluations, basically a lot of things were put down as soon as they were taken, and he was looking for them in the market, and he was getting more and more desperate about this big market that usually came the most times and felt quite satisfied.
"Small grinding sesame oil, inferior!"
Putting down a bottle in his hand, Gu Zheng, who had just wanted to leave, suddenly turned around, he had been walking for half an hour, picking up hundreds of ingredients, this was the first second-class ingredient he heard today.
This is an ordinary glass bottle, there are 250 milliliters of yellow-brown sesame oil in the bottle, and this shop also sells various oils, with a strong oil fragrance.
Sesame oil, also known as sesame oil, sesame oil, etc., has a long history in China, and some people consumed sesame oil as early as the Three Kingdoms period.
The production method of sesame oil is somewhat different from other oils, not simply squeezing oil, sesame oil is divided into raw sesame oil and cooked sesame oil, all of which are made of sesame seeds, white sesame seeds are slightly fried, and then squeezed, the oil squeezed out is clear and translucent, with a little yellowish, there is no strong aroma in the smell, but there is a peculiar fragrance, this is raw sesame oil.
Raw sesame oil is cool, eat to the fire, used in traditional Chinese medicine, in addition raw sesame oil can also be used as fuel, lit can be illuminated, while bringing clear fragrance, many people go to the temple to burn incense or vows, will donate some sesame oil, so that the everlasting lamp in front of the Buddha will not be extinguished, some people do not bring sesame oil to donate money, also called sesame oil money.
Cooked sesame oil is also called small grinding sesame oil, the sesame seeds are fried and then squeezed, after squeezing, stone grinding is used, after hundreds of processes, extracted over and over again, slowly grinding out the oil, the process of stone grinding is very complicated, only the best old craftsmen can grind out pure small grinding sesame oil, this small grinding sesame oil is yellow-brown, the fragrance is rich, open the bottle and float fragrance for three hundred miles.
The so-called 300 miles of fragrance in an open bottle is definitely an exaggerated description, but it also shows the strong fragrance of this sesame oil.
Nowadays, most of the sesame oil on the market is blended, even if it is branded as small grinding sesame oil, it is either a fake, or it is a defective blend of other oils, and it is difficult to buy pure small grinding sesame oil.
But even if it is a pure small grinding sesame oil, it is only a low-grade ingredient, Gu Zheng has a pure small grinding sesame oil at home, and it is a whole barrel of ten catties, that is Gu Zheng from a small grinding sesame oil shop, watching them grind out, Gu Zheng out of the raw materials and wages, after grinding, all the waste materials are taken away, so as to avoid fake, get the real small grinding sesame oil.
Gu Zheng's family is low-grade, but this bottle is inferior, is it possible, is this better than the pure sesame oil he paid for to grind someone?
