Chapter 566: Grilled Fish
"Good!"
Almost immediately followed by Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou's applause, Tian Yunxiu also cheered.
However, Tian Yunxiu's applause and Jiang Yizhen's applause are completely different! Jiang Yizhen felt that they were cool, while Tian Yunxiu was a strong and unwilling impulse, she really wanted to find out what was going on! Obviously, she was tasting the food cultivation that did not have the production of immortal yuan, how could Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou have become immortal yuan?
"What's good!"
Shang Wen, who still had cold sweat on his forehead, stopped Tian Yunxiu, who wanted to get chopsticks.
"We've got it!"
Shang Wen is still relatively reasonable, and now he has believed what Meow Meow said before, a mountain is higher than a mountain!
Although they can still afford to add an additional material for top-grade Zengyuan Food Cultivation, in order to verify that they feel that they are going to lose 90 percent of the time, is it really worth paying such a resource? Shang Wen felt that it was not worth it, and he did not think that Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou lied against their will.
"Admit it, just fulfill it according to the previous promise!" Gu Zheng sneered.
Like a defeated rooster, Shang Wen gave twenty pieces of high-grade resources to Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou respectively, and then took out a top-grade Zengyuan food cultivation ingredient to Gu Zheng.
"Apologize to us now, and leave Kirishimha!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"I'm sorry, this time it's our fault, we broke the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu, I'm sorry everyone!"
Shang Wen clenched his fists around, and he didn't dare to look at everyone's eyes with his head down.
"And you!"
Lian Yuxin finally found a chance to take revenge, and she looked at Tian Yunxiu with her chin slightly tilted.
Tian Yunxiu gritted his teeth, learned Shang Wen's appearance and movements, and repeated what Shang Wen had done just now.
"You two remember, from now on you are not welcome in Jixiang Xiaozhu! In addition, you have to remember that the incident happened in Jixiang Xiaozhu, I am a businessman who opens the door to do business, so it is easy to talk and calm people, if you are outside, you come with me to do this, you want to fight with me Gu, I will make you regret giving birth to such an idea!"
The killing intent that flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes made Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu's hearts tighten, but fortunately, the killing intent was only fleeting.
"Really, what's unpleasant to come to Jixiang Xiaozhu if you have nothing to do?"
"Some people can't be offended, don't think that if you come out of the flood wilderness, you can have nothing to fear!
Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou, one by one, fell into the well, which made Shang Wen's faces even more ugly.
"Please!"
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to the two of them, and then sent them out of Misty Wind Island.
"Hey, I really didn't expect it to be such an ending, the Xuanming Ancestor's order didn't do our things well, and we offended Gu Zheng again. Outside Fog Wind Island, Shang Wen said regretfully.
"Yes, no one expected that such a demon cultivator would be killed halfway. ”
Tian Yunxiu sighed, and then asked, "What should I do now, how can I go back and explain to the Xuanming Ancestor?"
"How do you explain, tell you the truth!" Shang Wen looked helpless.
In the Island Protector Immortal Array, after sending away Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu, Gu Zheng did not immediately return to Foggy Wind Island, he and Meow Meow, who were walking on the sea at this time.
"Meow Meow, you can do it! this time it's thanks to you!" Gu Zheng pinched Meow Meow's face.
"Hey, hey. ”
Meowth stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Meow, good job, let Mr. reward you this time!"
The machine spirit praised Meow Meow in person for the first time, and Meow Meow jumped up directly on the sea.
"Ahem!"
Meow, who had just jumped up, made a coughing sound.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"It's nothing, use the backlash left by the supernatural powers. ”
Meow Meow smiled bitterly, and then under Gu Zheng's questioning, he said the details.
Meow Meow's body is a beast, but her bloodline is not pure, and not long after the awakening of her natural powers, the other party's cultivation is in the realm of returning to the void, and she was inevitably damaged after she used her magical powers.
Meow Meow has cast her natal supernatural powers on Jiang Yizhen, Zhang Hualou, Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu, and she has used both magical powers of bewitchment and true and false exchange. Therefore, under the influence of Shang Wen's blood, it should have been an exclusive Zengyuan Food Cultivation, Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou tasted it, and they felt that it could still produce Immortal Yuan, which was a natural supernatural power of bewitchment and true and false exchange, which played a role at the same time.
In addition, Shang Wen, Tian Yunxiu, and Meow Meow also used these two magical powers on them, but in the end, Shang Wen was more rational and did not let Tian Yunxiu try again, otherwise Tian Yunxiu's feeling would be the same as Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou's.
Moreover, it is not easy for Meow Meow to use her natural supernatural powers, she was originally quite close to the extremely fragrant small building, but the reason why it took five minutes to enter the extremely fragrant small building is because she wants to use her natal magical powers on multiple immortal cultivators in the realm of returning to the void, and it is impossible to achieve it without casting spells in advance.
As for the backlash suffered by Meowmeow, it is actually not serious, and it only takes a day to get better.
After listening to Meow Meow's narration, Gu Zheng asked, "Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou, under your magical powers, what will happen to their future demon realm?"
"They didn't know whether it was true or not, and they made an answer that was not against their hearts, so in their future demon realm, there would be no such incident as today, after all, they were worthy of their hearts!" Meow meowed.
Gu Zheng touched Meow Meow's hair, and said with a smile: "Say, you have made a lot of meritorious service this time, what reward do you want?"
"Can you get any reward you want?"
Meow Meow looked at Gu Zheng, and there were little stars twinkling in her eyes.
"Yes. ”
Gu Zheng nodded, when he knew that Meow Meow was like this, there was a chance that he would have something to eat.
"I want to eat the dragon's beard fish we caught last time!" Meowth said excitedly.
The dragon whisker fish that Meow Meow said was a strange fish that Gu Zheng caught during the 'Fish Tide' when she first came to Kirikaze Island with her.
At that time, a total of three dragon beard fish were caught, and this relatively rare strange fish was specially approved by the machine spirit to be put into the desolate space.
If it weren't for Meow Meow mentioning it today, Gu Zheng would have almost forgotten that there were still three dragonbeard fish in the pond of the flood space, and he hadn't paid attention to them for a long time.
At the beginning, the spirit specially approved the dragon whisker fish to be put into the flood space, saying that this strange fish, which was originally of medium grade ingredients, could grow to an excellent level after growing in the flood space for a year.
Now that it has been nearly a year since he first came to Kirikaze Island, since Meow Meow wants to eat, Gu Zheng naturally agreed.
After returning to the extremely fragrant small building, Gu Zheng entered the desolate space, and Shen Nian explored the pond and immediately found three dragon's beard fish at the bottom of the pond.
For nearly a year, the dragon's beard fish grew very fast in a special place like the flood space, and each one weighed almost six catties.
A six-pound fish is already very large, and killing one is enough to eat one night.
Although it has not yet grown to a long time, the level of ingredients of the dragon's whisker fish is still medium, but in the abundant desolate space of the Immortal Yuan, Gu Zheng's water control decision is already advanced, and it is not a problem at all to spawn it into a high-level ingredient in a short period of time.
Gu Zheng stood by the pond, and under the control of the water, he first imprisoned a dragon's bearded fish.
Three dragon's whiskers, one male and two females, the one imprisoned by the ancient controversy is the female, and the remaining two can still stay in the pond to reproduce their offspring.
The water flow wrapped the dragonbeard fish in a whirlpool, and the immortal yuan in the air also poured into the whirlpool, controlled by the ancient controversy's water control decision, and continuously entered the body of the dragonbeard fish, transforming its flesh.
The dragonbeard fish looks a little similar to the golden dragonfish, under the urging of the ancient dispute to control the water, as time goes by, its scales become more and more golden, and the two whiskers become thicker and longer.
Although in a short period of time, Gu Zheng was able to turn the dragon's whisker fish, which was about to grow into a full year, into high-quality ingredients, but this process also took a full hour.
In the evening, Jixiang Xiaozhu had dinner again, and Gu Zheng made three dishes and a soup first, and then began to prepare for the final dish.
"Meow, what flavor of dragon's beard fish do you want to eat?"
The dragonbeard fish is hand-picked by Meow Meow, Gu Zheng attaches great importance to this dish, and he wants to satisfy Meow Meow's texture while ensuring the taste.
"When I first met him, I ate his barbecue, and I missed the spicy taste!" Meow Meow smiled.
"Good. ”
Gu Zheng smiled and pinched Meow Meow's nose, how could this stinky girl eat at that time?
Most of the time, Gu Zheng cooks to highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves, and the spices are relatively less.
In the past, spices were used less, because there were no spices that could be of good grade, and slowly developed a habit, so that later he collected a lot of second-grade or ordinary spices, and when he made food for himself, he still used very little.
Now that the fairy kitchen restaurant has opened, in order to cater to the tastes of customers, there are more spices. Moreover, during this time, the opening of the Xian Kitchen Restaurant also improved the grade of Gu Zheng's spices, and he found a lot of spices with medium ingredients from some visitors from the wilderness.
"Sir, do you want me to help with this fish?"
After knowing that the quality of the ingredients of the dragonbeard fish was excellent, even Yuxin felt a little drooling even if she looked at the living dragonbeard fish, and the rich fantasies in her mind couldn't stop at all, she thought about what a delicacy this fish could become in the hands of Gu Zheng.
"No, I don't. "Gu Zhengdao.
The dragon's whisker fish is different from ordinary fish, it is full of treasures, it is very particular about handling, and even Yuxin can't do this job.
At this time, the dragon's beard fish was placed in a water tank, Gu Zheng put some salt in the water tank, and then used the water control to make the water in the tank rotate, and the purpose of his doing this was to use salt to clean a small amount of slime between the scales of the dragonbeard fish.
After a few moments, the mucus between the scales of the dragonbeard fish had been disposed of, and Gu Zheng quickly disemboweled the still alive dragonbeard fish.
This is not to say that the viscera of the fish cannot be eaten, but the ancient dispute is troublesome and does not want to deal with it, so the fish dishes on the menu are marked with no internal organs.
In fact, the fish that can be put on the menu of the extremely fragrant Xiaozhu, at least like fish maw or fish roe in the internal organs, is not troublesome to handle, and the taste is also very delicious, after all, their ingredients are not low-grade, but Gu Zheng is too lazy to get them.
The dragonbeard fish to be made this time is different, even if its ingredient grade is only medium, Gu Zheng will take the time to deal with its internal organs and other things, after all, its whole body is a treasure, and the taste of the internal organs is also delicious!
The plump fish roe and white fish bladder were left behind by the ancient controversy, and even the fish scales and fish intestines were also left by the ancient controversy.
The fish is cut off and then marinated with salt and spices.
Taking advantage of the pickling of the fish, Gu Zheng began to clean the internal organs of the dragon's beard fish.
The scales have already been washed and do not need to be cleaned again, and as for the 'dragon whiskers', it is just cut into pieces.
The swim bladder was full of air, and after Gu Zheng cut it open and washed it, he put it aside.
Since it was almost time for the dragon whisker fish to spawn, a dragon whisker fish of more than six catties weighed two catties of fish roe! Gu Zheng cleaned the fish roe that was still wrapped in the film and put it aside for the time being.
The fish intestines are more troublesome to deal with, although the dragon beard fish grows in the desolate space, and the food on weekdays is Xianyuan, and there is no dirt in the fish intestines, but Gu Zheng still dissected the fish intestines, and carefully rinsed them.
Put the rinsed fish intestines, plus the cleaned fish bladder, into the fairy vinegar, control the water, and carefully knead them.
There is a deep relationship between wine and vinegar, and Gu Zheng will brew immortal wine, and naturally will also brew immortal vinegar. Kneading fish intestines and swim bladders with fairy vinegar can not only remove the fishy smell, but also enhance the crispy taste of bouncy.
The fish intestines and fish bladders washed with fairy vinegar, one is pink and the other is snow-white, they are put aside first, and Gu Zheng added some fairy wine and green onion and ginger in the basin where the fish roe was placed, and then put it in the cage and steamed it.
In order to make the fish roe more fishy and more flavorful, in the process of steaming, it is natural to control the water and decide the operation.
"It's so tempting, I want to eat it!"
Looking at the fish roe that Gu Zheng took out of the steamer, Lian Yuxin swallowed his saliva.
"Don't worry, this time it's enough for you to eat!"
Gu Zheng glanced at Lian Yuxin helplessly, thinking that after working in the Immortal Kitchen Restaurant for a period of time, her concentration would become a little stronger, but she didn't think that it seemed to be even worse than before.
As if knowing what Gu Zheng was thinking, Lian Yuxin smiled at Gu Zheng and said, "It's not that I'm getting more and more greedy, it's that the food made by the head is getting more and more delicious!"
Gu Zheng slices the steamed fish roe, then puts a layer of egg wash and flour on the pan, and deep-fried it in the oil pan until golden brown. Then add water to the clay pot and put several kinds of mushrooms that can be used to make 'fairy mushroom powder', along with fried fish roe slices.
Under the urging of the fire control trick, the water in the clay pot quickly boiled, and Gu Zheng accepted the fire control trick and simmered slowly over low heat.
Put the fish scales in the green onion and ginger water, cook until medium-rare, remove and set aside.
"Well, I don't think I've seen it in a while, and the master has handled the ingredients so complicated!"
Gu Zheng has done a lot of steps, but it still looks like it is still far from the completion of this dragon beard fish, which makes Lian Yuxin sigh.
"Why, can't you wait?" asked Gu Zheng.
"Kindly, I'm hungry!" Lian Yuxin smiled bitterly.
"Out of breath!"
Gu Zheng scolded with a smile and began to grill the fish.
The fish has been salted beforehand, which will save Gu Zheng a lot of time when grilling.
In the past, the firewood used to barbecue meat was firewood, or charcoal, but now there are conditions, and the ancient fish are all firewood produced on Foggy Wind Island, of which the fog wind apricot wood is the majority. The meat roasted with this kind of fruit wood has a special aroma of foggy apricots, which also makes the original barbecue more layered in taste.
Driven by the fire control trick, the grilled fish 'sizzles' on the grill, and the delicious aroma of the fish begins to emit out.
Meow Meow misses the spicy taste she ate at the beginning, Gu Zheng specially prepared her with a little spicy barbecue sauce, and after brushing it on the dragon's beard fish, the slightly sweet and spicy aroma mixed with the fragrance of the fish meat aroused people's appetite.
Originally, Meow Meow also wanted to come to help cook, but Gu Zheng didn't let her, she was a big hero today, so Gu Zheng let her rest and wait to eat.
"It smells so good!"
Meow, who couldn't help but come over to take a peek, smelled the meat aroma of Gu Zheng's grilled fish, and his eyes were full of intoxication.
"The fish hasn't been roasted yet, and the aroma hasn't been forced out yet!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"Sir, how do I think this spicy smell, like the one I first smelled, but it smells better and a little different, is it because of the improvement of his cooking skills, or because of the other accessories?" Meow Meow curious.
"It's because my cooking skills have improved, and there are also some accessories, but the most important thing is that the grade of the main ingredients that produce spicy flavor has improved. When I first met you, I used soft rattan peppers picked in the mountains for barbecue, and it tasted good, but the ingredients were only inferior. Today, the soft rattan pepper used for grilled fish comes from the flood wilderness, and the grade of the ingredients has reached medium, and the taste is naturally more prominent and charming. "Gu Zhengdao.
The meat of the dragon's beard fish is fresh and tender, and Gu Zheng's control of the heat is in place, so it will be grilled quickly.
Spread a layer on the plate, the special product of the flood in the 'jade lotus' flakes, Gu Zheng put the grilled fish on top of the lotus root slices, and then put the plate with a lid.
Heat oil in a pot, add green onion and ginger to bring out the fragrance, then put the sliced fish intestines, 'dragon whiskers' and fish maw slices into it and stir-fry.
"It smells so good!"
Lian Yuxin's eyes widened.
"Have you ever eaten fish intestines and swim bladders before?" asked Gu Zheng.
"I ate it when I was a child thousands of years ago, and it was very unpalatable!" said Lian Yuxin.
"The fish intestines and swim bladders that you're going to eat today are going to taste absolutely amazing. ”
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and after pouring some immortal wine in the pot, he stir-fried the fish offal in the pot a few times, and then added fish scales and stir-fried for a minute.
"Goo-goo-to-......"
When the soup was simmering over low heat in the clay pot, Gu Zheng removed it from the fire, took only the milky white broth and fish roe slices, and poured them into the fragrant fish offal fried in the pot.
Cover the pot, the ancient fire control trick is urged, and the water control decision is also exerted at the same time, only to hear the sound of 'cooing' in the pot, and the fragrance is permeating at the same time, the white mist has gathered more and more on the pot.
"Wow, when Mr. grilled fish, there wasn't so much mist that could melt into shape!" Meowth exclaimed.
"First of all, the offal of the dragon beard fish is no worse than the taste of the fish. Secondly, grilling the fish is not the final step, so I didn't completely force out the flavor when it was grilled!"
