Chapter 718
"Master, this Master of Wunian is so picky! There are twelve people attending the banquet today, but he ordered four dishes and one soup, although four dishes and one soup are double portions, but this is not enough!"
On the way back to the cave, the butterfly spirit transmitted a message to Gu Zheng. ()
Butterfly Spirit's transmission made Gu Zheng smile: "Actually, the four dishes and one soup ordered by Master Wunian are enough to eat, after all, one of these four dishes and one soup is a big dish." ”
"Big dish?" Butterfly Spirit's eyes were full of curiosity.
"That's right, the name of this big dish ordered by Master Wunian is 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin'. In this dish, the main ingredient 'Xue Tai Sui' is an excellent level ingredient, but if the ingredient 'Xue Tai Sui' wants to meet the standard of excellent level, the weight must be more than 50 catties. This 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' is a double portion, which means that the Xue Tai Sui in this dish alone weighs more than 100 catties!"
"Okay, it's not that you can't eat enough, it's that you may not be able to finish it!" said Butterfly Spirit, sticking out her tongue.
"It's impossible not to finish eating, even if they eat the dishes I cook, I guarantee that there will be no vegetable soup left!" Gu Zheng said confidently.
Although the four dishes and one soup ordered by Master Wu Nian are all double, except for the 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin', which is more time-consuming to make, the other three dishes are not troublesome to make, and Gu Zheng plans to make this big dish first.
Tai Sui ingredients are not uncommon in the flood wilderness, Gu Zheng has collected a lot, among the Tai Sui ingredients he collected, Xue Tai Sui is one of the few with excellent taste.
Generally speaking, even if the grade of the ingredients has reached the excellent level, the Tai Sui ingredients still have a faint bitter taste, which is its nature. However, the taste of Xue Tai Sui is not bitter, on the contrary, it also has a hint of sweetness! However, Xue Tai Sui is also different from other Tai Sui, that is, it is born with a certain toxicity!
Xue Tai Sui's toxicity had no effect on the immortal cultivators of the Golden Immortal Realm, but if it was not handled well, the final taste would be somewhat discounted. Moreover, the toxicity in Xue Tai Sui is not easy to remove, and usually only a good fairy chef can cook Xue Tai Sui perfectly.
In Gu Zheng's opinion, Master Wunian ordered this 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' with the intention of considering his cooking skills.
Under normal circumstances, the fairy chefs remove the toxicity in the snow Tai Sui, and will use 'Baijie grass' to stew with the snow Tai Sui. This method is very effective, but how much of the toxicity can be removed depends on the cooking skills of the fairy kitchen. However, this method is not the best, after all, cooking Tai Sui with 'Scutter grass' will also have some bad effects on the meat quality of Tai Sui.
Gu Zheng has the eye of the Tao, which is a Tao that most first-class immortal chefs do not have, otherwise Lu Piaoxiang, who was also an immortal chef at the beginning, would not have been so shocked when he knew that he had the eye of the Tao. The fairy kitchen with the eye of the Tao has a different starting point than the average fairy kitchen.
Gu Zheng is going to do this snow Tai Sui today, roughly like a pier, Gu Zheng first made Xue Tai Sui clear and clean, and then danced with a kitchen knife, like a pier-like Xue Tai Sui turned into a pot shape, and the scene of the hanging mountain was carved on it.
Put water in the pot, add the spices and salt that have been prepared before, and Gu Zheng directly puts the carved Xue Tai Sui into the pot and stews.
As the water temperature rises, spices and salts enter the snow to give it a flavor. At the same time, under the effect of Gu Zheng's water control technique, the toxins that could not be seen by ordinary people's eyes were condensed by him and flowed out of Xue Tai Sui, and finally he scooped out the pot with a soup spoon.
Without the presence of toxins, the snow Tai Sui in the pot exudes a fragrance like a fungus. Gu Zheng collected the water control trick and the fire control trick, let Xue Tai Sui slowly simmer in the pot, and he began to deal with the beef tenderloin.
The beef tenderloin is the tenderloin of the fairy cow, and the meat is very beautiful, and it is cut into strips by Gu Zheng and wrapped in egg wash and fairy noodles.
Put oil in the pot, and after the oil temperature is appropriate, Gu Zheng fried the beef tenderloin and took it out.
Pound the sea pepper into a paste, heat a small amount of oil in a pot, and then pour the paste sea bell pepper into it.
With the sound of 'zila' coming from the pot, a spicy fragrance suddenly spread.
"Whew!"
The butterfly spirit on the side couldn't help but stir his nose.
"Do you feel like this smell is fresh?" asked Gu Zheng.
"Yes, I've never smelled like this before, I feel that it is so special that you can't help but want to swallow your saliva!" Butterfly Spirit breathed greedily in the air.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and without saying anything more, he took out a 'flavor fruit'.
The golden flavor of the fruit is a high-quality ingredient, and this berry is very peculiar, and its taste is not sweet, but a slightly salty with a wonderful aroma.
Like beating eggs, Gu Zheng squeezed all the juice of the flavored fruit into the fried sea emperor pepper, and suddenly a wonderful fresh fragrance mixed with spicy fragrance rose, and the smell was so good that Gu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The juice of the fragrant fruit is put into the pot, as if it has thickened the ground sea pepper, making the soup thick.
Gu Zheng put the fried beef tenderloin into the pot and stewed it, and the aroma of the beef mixed with the spicy and fresh fragrance made the butterfly spirit on the side swallow his saliva wildly.
The time was calculated very well, and when the beef tenderloin was stewed just right, it was time for the snow Tai Sui, who was boiling on the side, to come out of the pot.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, and Xue Taisui flew into the steamer on the side.
Fortunately, the fairy utensils and kitchenware can change in size, otherwise it would be really difficult to put this hundred-pound snow Tai Sui in.
Xue Tai Sui was carved like a pot by the ancients, which is not just a superficial appearance, but there is really space inside it.
The "lid" of the "Snow Tai Sui Pot" flew up, Gu Zheng poured the stewed beef tenderloin into it, and then covered the "lid" and the cage lid, and under the urging of the fire control technique, the snow Tai Sui in the cage was steamed.
The steaming process didn't require too much control of Gu Zheng's Five Elements Immortal Jue for too long, and after a while, Gu Zheng who had his hands free began to boil the soup again. And this soup is poured on the 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' before it is served, which is also the last step of this big dish.
"Master, I'm hungry!"
Butterfly Ling couldn't help it, she looked at Gu Zheng pitifully.
Gu Zheng understood that Die Ling's hunger at this time was not the kind of hunger she was growing up with, but just a gluttony stimulated by the fragrance of food.
"Well, the next dish will satisfy your cravings first!"
Gu Zheng let the soup of 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' slowly boil on the fire first, and then he began to prepare the second dish.
The name of the second course is 'Stir-fried Crispy Bone', and this dish is relatively simple to make.
The crispy bones used in 'Stir-fried Crispy Bone' are the crispy bones of the fairy cow, and this Gu Zheng had already stewed some fairy beef, fairy beef bones and other things on the side long before preparing to make 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin'.
The fire control trick and the water control trick work at the same time, and the beef and beef bones stewed in the pot suddenly exude a richer fragrance than before.
In less than a minute, Gu Zheng stopped the manipulation of the Five Elements Immortal Technique, took out the crispy bones of the fairy cow in the pot, which were as white as jade, and cut them into long strips of the same length.
The steps of the dish are not complicated, the key is that during the cooking process, in order to make the crispy bones with a tight texture absorb the flavor, this is a test of cooking skills.
Secondly, the oil used in the dish of 'stir-fried crispy bones' is not ordinary sesame oil, but a special rapeseed oil. This rapeseed oil has a kind of cumin-like fragrance, which must be boiled before stir-frying the crispy bones! If it is boiled well, the dish will be a lot more brilliant, if it is not boiled well, the cumin-like aroma cannot be completely forced out, then it will naturally fall inferior.
Gu Zheng began to boil oil, for the general fairy chef, it is necessary to adjust the heat through the smell, so as to put the crispy bones in at the most appropriate time! The step of boiling oil, the general fairy chef can be said to be done carefully, after all, the oil temperature affects the cumin fragrance in the oil, and the moment when the fragrance reaches its peak, it is fleeting and short.
For Gu Zheng, everything is so simple, the Eye of the Dao makes the oil 'digital' display in his eyes, he doesn't need to smell the smell, just use the naked eye to know what kind of heat can make that just right.
The subtle changes in the oil let Gu Zheng know that the best time had come, and he put the cut crispy bones into the oil and stir-fried until the white crispy bones became a little yellow.
After serving a small portion to Butterfly Spirit, Gu Zheng immediately began to prepare the next dish.
"Hehe, it's time to eat!"
Butterfly Ling smiled at Gu Zheng, picked up a piece of crispy bone and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.
"Crunch!"
A crisp sound came from the mouth of the butterfly spirit, like the scent of cumin, mixed with a special bone fragrance that diffused from her mouth.
"It's delicious, it's crispy, it's delicious!"
Butterfly Spirit ate very happily, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moon with a smile.
On the square in front of Master Wunian's door, the table has been set up, the immortal wine has also been placed, and except for Gu Zheng, the other nine people have already taken their seats.
didn't let the rest of the people wait too long, and with the arrival of Gu Zheng, the four dishes and one soup flying in the air landed smoothly on the table.
"Fragrant, so fragrant!"
"How long has it been since you've eaten a delicious meal made by Fairy Kitchen?"
"I don't know how long it's been since you've eaten, but I haven't eaten in three hundred years. ”
"The carving on this snow Tai Sui turned out to be the scenery on our hanging mountain, Bai Daoyou really has a heart!"
As soon as the dish was served, everyone sighed with emotion, and at the same time, they were all intoxicated and smelled the tempting fragrance.
"Bai Daoyou has worked hard, please take a seat!" Master Wunian said.
After Gu Zheng sat down, Master Wunian first gave Gu Zheng an introduction.
Except for Master Wunian, Master Duan, Gan Long, and Ye Hongjiang, the other five people were all monks. However, these monks are not all from the same temple, after all, the hanging mountain belongs to the Buddhist gate, not to say which temple it belongs to.
They all knew each other, and Master Wunian spoke again: "The main purpose of today's banquet is to invite Master Duan and thank Master Duan for the immortal weapon he refined for my senior brother!"
Master Wunian raised his glass to Master Duan, and the two of them clinked glasses and drank them all.
Although Master Wunian is a Buddhist, but in the midst of the wilderness, the people of Buddhism do not explicitly prohibit immortal wine and even the food cooked by immortal chefs, except for the existence of ascetics, the rest of the people are not taboo about these things. After all, these things also contain good immortal yuan.
"The second glass of wine is thanks to Bai Daoyou! Because of this fairy kitchen feast, Daoyou remembered his feelings as a resident of Hanging Mountain, and exempted himself from expenses other than costs. ”
After Master Wunian and Gu Zheng clinked glasses, they also drank it all.
"Come, let's raise a glass together, I wish us a lot of harmony and blessings!"
After everyone drank the clinking glasses of wine, Master Wunian spoke again: "Fellow Daoists, let's try Bai Daoyou's cooking skills!"
Except for Gu Zheng, everyone was waiting for Master Wunian's words, and almost as soon as his words landed, several pairs of chopsticks stretched out to the big dish 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin'.
Gu Zheng understood that just letting the 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' give birth to an extremely fragrant shape was not enough for these people to recognize him as a first-class immortal chef. At this time, everyone first stretched out their chopsticks to 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin', that is, they wanted to see from this dish whether he was a first-class fairy chef.
'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' is in the shape of a pot on the surface, but in fact, this 'pot' is full of 'cracks', these cracks are almost invisible from the surface, but in fact, the whole 'pot' is divided into pieces, this is the effect that Gu Zheng has made when he first waved the kitchen knife! Therefore, at this moment, everyone can easily clip a piece of Xue Tai Sui's meat by inserting their chopsticks into the cracks.
Xue Tai Sui's meat is like a shiitake mushroom, but it is crispier than a shiitake mushroom, and it is even slightly elastic, when everyone puts Xue Tai Sui's meat in their mouths and chews, in addition to the aroma, there is also an endless sound of satisfaction.
"It's delicious! It's smooth and refreshing, there is no bitterness at all, some are just spicy stimulation, and there is the freshness and beauty that permeates between the lips and teeth!"
A piece of snow Tai Sui meat, Master Duan took the lead in shaking his head. Since the whole Xue Tai Sui was covered with faint cracks, the beef tenderloin soup brewed in the Xue Tai Sui had also been soaked in the Tai Sui meat, so Master Duan also experienced the spicy stimulation when he tasted it.
"It is worthy of being a first-class fairy kitchen, a hundred years ago I had a 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin', and the taste of Xue Tai Sui at that time could not be compared with the current one, whether it was the taste or the delicious taste. ”
Master Wunian took a sip of Xue Tai Sui's stomach, and hurriedly stretched out his thumb to Gu Zheng, and there was a trace of reverence in his eyes that he had not had before.
"Let's try it, how does the beef tenderloin taste!"
Gu Zheng moved his chopsticks with a smile, and the part that was originally made as a 'pot cover' on Xue Tai Sui was touched by his chopsticks, and immediately flew up piece by piece, and was neatly placed on the plate.
Gu Zheng didn't taste the beef tenderloin first, he tasted the part of Xue Tai Sui that made the 'pot cover', this part was not impregnated by the beef tenderloin soup, and it was relatively more inclined to the original flavor.
Like shiitake mushrooms, but with a little crispy, the snow Tai Sui meat slices are chewed after the mouth, releasing a different flavor to the fullest, and the essence of the ingredients is delicious, which is also completely permeated in the mouth of the ancient dispute.
However, for a person like Gu Zheng who often tastes delicious food, although the taste of Xue Tai Sui is delicious, it is not enough for him to have a very high evaluation. After all, the quality of the ingredients in Xue Tai Sui itself is only excellent.
Excellent-grade ingredients are already difficult to make Gu Zheng feel amazing, but for Master Wunian and the others, it is different! For them, not to mention high-grade ingredients, even if they are medium-level ingredients, they are supreme delicious.
The gentle humming of satisfaction kept sounding, and everyone had already tasted the rich beef tenderloin. The tender and spicy beef tenderloin, even though it is only a medium-grade ingredient, can make them feel like they can't stop eating! No one commented at the first time, they only knew to stretch out their chopsticks, pick up one beef tenderloin after another, and greedily experience the refreshing sensation between their lips and teeth.
"Cool!"
It was Master Duan who was the first to speak, and he finally put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and raised it to Gu Zheng.
"Master Bai, this glass of wine Duan respects you!"
With a 'Master Bai', it was already Master Duan, the refining master, who gave Gu Zheng the highest praise and respect.
"Wait!"
Master Wunian also spoke, and everyone picked up the wine glass with him.
"Let's salute Master Bai together with this glass of wine!" The poor monk doesn't know how to evaluate the taste of beef tenderloin, but it has undoubtedly conquered the taste of the poor monk!"
"That's right, it's delicious!"
"I've never eaten beef tenderloin so delicious!"
"The spicy has the unique fragrance of Xue Tai Sui, the taste is very tender, but it is chewy, it is delicious!"
"Master Bai, you let me know the gap between the second-grade immortal kitchen and the first-grade immortal kitchen!"
"Come on, come on, cheers!"
Everyone laughed and laughed, and after a glass of wine, they all picked up their chopsticks one after another.
What Gu Zheng told Die Ling before was right, there was really no leftover of the dishes he cooked, including the soup. Although the lowest cultivation of diners is already a golden fairyland, they still have a look of unfulfilled satisfaction after eating more than 100 catties of food in one meal.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while, and the time for Gu Zheng to take food cultivation was finally set for the evening.
When saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Zheng took a total of four lists, which came from Master Wunian, Gan Long, Ye Hongjiang and Master Duan.
In addition to Master Duan, the food cultivation customized by the other three people was relatively cheap, and all they wanted was a top-grade Zengyuan food cultivation. But Master Duan's food cultivation is more expensive, so he ordered a new food cultivation!
Although Gu Zheng said before that when he did business again, he would charge how he wanted, but he still gave some discounts to these four lists, and did not charge according to the standards of the first-grade fairy kitchens outside, but only according to the standards of ordinary fairy kitchen restaurants. And he was able to make such a concession, which naturally made Master Duan and the others quite grateful.
The owner of the four business will not have to worry about when he will take the food repair, so he only needs to make the four lists in the afternoon and hand over the food repair to the person who customizes them.
After returning to the cave mansion, Gu Zheng first made four food repairs and handed them over to Master Duan.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was about to cook again, Die Ling spoke: "Master, what kind of food cultivation do you want to give yourself?"
Gu Zheng now has heavenly and earthly treasures, as well as immortal ingredients, he can use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to do holy fruit food cultivation, and he can also use immortal resources to do Danyuan food cultivation.
"Let's do Danyuan food repair!"
Gu Zheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, the effect of Danyuan Food Cultivation was definitely not as good as the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation, but the effect of the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation was too shocking, and he really didn't want to make a sensation a few days after he first came to Hanging Mountain.
