Chapter 443: What About Yours
Jiang An and Xie Ying both had mouths full of bitterness, and a vivid cold shrimp shape had made their expectations for Lao Zhou much smaller. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn their opinion, this method of Gu Zheng is good to say that it is immortal art and demon magic, but it really shouldn't be cooking!
"Is this really cooking?"
Lao Zhou looked at Gu Zheng's cold shrimp and muttered, he was really hit.
"Of course it's cooking! Using internal strength to cook food, can you say that internal strength is not a part of cooking? Don't be too shocked, if you can't even do a simple shape, there will be no magic in immortal arts. ”
Gu Zheng didn't raise his head, and was still busy making the next step of cold shrimp while talking.
The soup of the cold shrimp is the key, and the cold shrimp without the soup is equivalent to the loss of the soul.
The cold shrimp soup used by Lao Zhou is a more creative secret sour plum soup, and the soup used by Gu Zheng will naturally not be the same as his.
The pergola was originally built under a coconut tree, and there was a large coconut in the shed.
rummaged through the pile of coconuts, and Gu Zheng held the important coconut in his hand and shook it back and forth.
The coconut is already cooked, but it has not yet reached the ripeness that Gu Zheng wants! The kind of cooking that Gu Zheng wants, which will make the aroma of coconut water and coconut meat more charming, but the taste of coconut water will be a little sour.
For ordinary people, this acidity of coconut water is very bad, but for Gu Zheng, this is not a problem at all!
"How do you solve the problem of coconut water souring when you use the wood control recipe to ripen the coconut and the coconut water is sour?" asked the machine spirit.
"It's very easy to solve the sourness, do you want to listen to the basic method, or the advanced method?" Gu Zheng smiled very confidently.
"What is the basic method, and what is the advanced method?" asked the machine spirit again.
"The basic method is to put the sour substances together by controlling water and then discarding them. As for the advanced method, I have now comprehended the Tao of eating, and my understanding of ingredients has also reached a terrifying level! With enough understanding, I can give birth to many changes, and I can change the acidity that originally affected the taste into sweetness that optimizes the taste through the wood control technique!"
"Good!"
The second method that Gu Zheng said made the machine spirit praise from the bottom of his heart.
In the picture in her mind, the little pepper-like machine spirit looked very excited, and she stretched out her thumb to Gu Zheng: "Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things, Gu Zheng you make me proud!"
The coconut in Gu Zheng's hand had ripened to the extent he wanted, and when he opened the hard shell of the coconut, a charming coconut fragrance suddenly spread.
Smelling the fragrance of coconut, Jiang An, who was already sweating, finally showed a little smile on his face.
Using coconut water to make cold shrimp soup, this method Jiang An and his Laozi have already used it, but in the end, it is the secret sour plum soup that is now set as cold shrimp soup, why is this? This is because the soup made of coconut water is not as good as honey sour plum soup, not to mention the coconut water used in ancient times, there is still some sour coconut water!
After pouring the coconut water into the pot, Gu Zheng put some of the rice milk that had been boiled before, then covered the pot and put his hands on the pot.
Rice milk is originally a versatile ingredient, and Gu Zheng will use rice milk in cold shrimp soup, but the taste of coconut milk is not mellow enough. Although the current rice milk is not boiled by fairy rice, there is a skill in boiling rice milk, and the effect of this rice milk still exists.
Seeing that the rice milk was about to be completed, Gu Zheng picked up a candied fruit and threw it into the pot.
The smile on Jiang An's original face became thicker because of the candied fruit put in Gu Zheng.
Lao Zhou's cold shrimp is made of candied fruit, why use candied fruit instead of whole candied fruit like Gu Zheng?
First of all, candied fruit is a very sweet thing, and crushed candied fruit can reduce the sweet taste by reducing the weight, making the 'taste' more harmonious.
Secondly, the crushed candied fruit is also very compatible with the cold shrimp, after all, a large candied fruit placed in a bowl of cold shrimp will give the 'color' of the food and cause a sense of disharmony.
In addition, it is best to put the candied fruit before the cold shrimp is served, so that the taste of the candied fruit will not spread into the soup, nor will it affect the taste of the candied fruit, and it can also make the taste of the whole bowl of cold shrimp more layered.
Now the whole candied fruit that Gu Zheng put down is a candied fruit made of 'black plum fruit', which is bigger than the cold shrimp he made. If you put the candied fruit in a pot and boil it, the candied fruit will inevitably swell, and the flavor will inevitably spread! Not to mention that although the 'black plum fruit' is delicious, it also fades very badly, and Jiang An really can't imagine what this bowl of cold shrimp from Gu Zheng will look like.
Jiang An's unexpected situation happened again, Gu Zheng, who threw the 'black plum fruit' in the soup, actually poured all the cold shrimp and spare coconut meat that had been cooled into the pot again, and at the same time threw a whole candied fruit into it!
"Crazy! Is this the so-called broken jar?"
Jiang An muttered in his heart, he really couldn't imagine how bad the candied fruit would taste when he returned to the pot.
Gu Zheng, who originally put his hands on the pot, lifted the lid of the pot, and for a while, rich water vapor floated from the pot.
Gu Zheng's method was very fast, and everyone only vaguely saw that the steaming things in the pot were poured into the bowl prepared in advance by Gu Zheng, and the bowl lid was covered.
"What are you doing here?" Xie Ying said with a frown.
"No, I don't want you to see what it looks like before it comes to the table. Why, is this a violation? Could it be because you didn't see it clearly, and I have to show every detail carefully?"
Gu Zheng's expression was flat, holding the bowl of cold shrimp with both hands, and the water control decision was still playing a role in it.
"Hmph, pretend to be a ghost, and you'll know when you serve the table, whether your cooking is delicious or not. Jiang An sneered.
"Also, no matter how fancy it is, it's useless if it doesn't taste good. Xie Ying smiled, but didn't say anything more.
"Gu Zheng, I probed Xie Ying's body a little, this kid is really different!"
The voice of the machine spirit suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"How is it different?" asked Gu Zheng.
"As for how it's different, you'll know when the time comes, just wait and watch the show!"
As soon as Gu Zheng thought about it, a picture of the machine spirit appeared in his mind, this little girl was sitting on a stone with Erlang's legs crossed, not to mention how sinister the smile on her face was.
No longer caring about the spirit of selling Guanzi, Gu Zheng looked down the mountain, only to see that the two climbers were already close to the top of the mountain, judging from their dressing style, they should belong to another disciple of the Tianluo Sect.
Seeing Gu Zheng looking down the mountain, Elder Gao immediately spoke: "The two people who are going up the mountain now belong to the disciples of the Green Tianluo Sect, and the person who walked in the front is also the candidate to enter the 'Tianluo Cave' this time, his name is Su Hong. ”
"What are you muttering in a whisper? If you have anything to say, you can quickly say it, after the referee goes up the mountain, you can't talk to each other anymore. Xie Ying Yin Yang Qi said.
"Don't worry, I know the rules!" Elder Gao replied to Xie Ying angrily, and then his eyes showed worry: "Although the eleven branches of the Tianluo Sect are like enemies, but in the past two years, the Green Tianluo Sect and the Yellow Tianluo Sect have come closer!"
Elder Gao's words made Gu Zheng's brows furrow slightly, after all, Xie Ying was a disciple of the Yellow Tianluo Sect.
"Senior Brother Xie, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be on the top of the mountain!"
Su Hong greeted Xie Ying from afar.
"What a coincidence!"
Xie Ying smiled, but didn't say anything more.
However, Su Hong's brows were slightly furrowed, and the slightly depressed atmosphere around him, as well as the gaze of everyone, made him feel a little weird.
Su Hong didn't ask much, found a table and sat down, and shouted into the pergola: "Old Zhou, two bowls of cold shrimp!"
"Okay!"
Lao Zhou's response was still the same as before, and he quickly brought three bowls of cold shrimp over.
"You kid lucky, today I made a brand new cold shrimp, you can taste it to see if the original cold shrimp is delicious, or the new cold shrimp is delicious!"
Lao Zhou sent his cold shrimp, as well as the cold shrimp made by Gu Zheng, to Su Hong, who was the first to go up the mountain.
"Zhou Lao also innovated cold shrimp? It's really good! But I think your signature cold shrimp is already very delicious. ”
Su Hong smiled, opened the lid on Gu Zheng's bowl of cold shrimp, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"This, this, "
Su Hong stammered when he spoke, and as for Xie Ying, Jiang An and others, their faces were all full of shock.
"Is this really a cold shrimp?"
"Isn't this really a cold shrimp?"
"Is this a painting?"
Su Hong muttered to himself, and the spoon he picked up refused to fall.
The cold shrimp in the bowl did not put ice cubes, but it was a little cold, and on the whole, it really looked like a painting.
Different from the traditional cold shrimp, half of the cold shrimp made by Gu Zheng is paste, and the color is divided into two types.
Pure white cold shrimp are on one side of the bowl, close to each other, and there is a black 'black plum fruit' inlaid in it.
On the other side of the bowl is a black paste, which is also a cold shrimp broth, made from rice milk and coconut milk, and dyed with 'black plum fruit'. On the paste, it is inlaid with a white candied 'jade cherry'.
"Old Zhou, do you really want me to eat this bowl of cold shrimp like a Taiji diagram?"
Su Hong didn't dare or couldn't bear to do it, and for the first time in his life, he had a feeling similar to worship and awe about a food. is also because of this unique bowl of cold shrimp, his address to Lao Zhou has changed from 'you' to 'you'!
"Eat!"
Lao Zhou's expression was extremely complicated, shocked, excited, and lost.
"Good!"
Su Hong responded, as if he had made up his mind, and he stretched out his spoon to dig up the cold shrimp, but his eyes widened again.
The original part of the paste changes due to the influence of temperature, and it completely turns into soup in almost three breaths.
The color of the solidification is black, but after turning into soup, it turns into a deep purple, and the cold shrimp that were originally crowded together are scattered, and the diced coconut meat pressed under the cold shrimp also floats.
The cold shrimp will have such a change, and it is completely the power of the 'natal true water' left in the bowl by Gu Zheng at work.
The power of 'Natal True Water' only plays a role in refrigeration, and the time was calculated very well by Gu Zheng, almost when Su Hong opened the bowl, the power of 'Natal True Water' had begun to fade naturally.
After this moment's delay, without the continuous refrigeration of the 'natal real water', the original paste melted naturally, restoring the 'shrimp water fusion' that the cold shrimp should have.
"Awesome! The juniors don't know what to say anymore, this, this should be a master's work!"
Su Hong stretched out his thumb to Lao Zhou, his eyes were full of admiration, and he was not surprised that the paste melted at the right time, except for admiration. After all, the internal strength of the cold attribute can also do this, but it needs to calculate the time well.
"What a wonderful treat!"
A bite of cold shrimp in his stomach, Su Hong's face was full of amazement while sighing.
Seeing Su Hong's appearance, the last trace of disillusionment in Xie Ying's heart was shattered, and he frowned and implemented the backup plan.
"Senior Brother Su, don't be surprised, I'm Xie Ying! Wait for this bowl of cold shrimp to eat, you will also eat another bowl of cold shrimp, when the time comes, you tell Lao Zhou, although the newly made cold shrimp is good, but you still like the original cold shrimp, you think the original cold shrimp is the best, as long as you say so, the little brother will have a heavy thank you today!"
Transmitting sound into the secret was originally a means that could only be possessed in the god transformation period, and the reason why it could be used before the ancient battle was because of the help of the machine spirit. But now, Xie Ying, who is in the late stage of the third layer, can actually use enough sound transmission to enter the secret, and his difference in spiritual power is enough to make him worthy of the elite status of the Yellow Tianluo Sect.
Being able to transmit sound into the secret is what Xie Ying relied on when he dared to bet with Gu Zheng! But what Xie Ying didn't know was that from the moment he started to transmit sound into the secret, his voice appeared clearly in Gu Zheng's mind.
"What's going on?" asked Gu Zheng.
"It's just a small trick! Fortunately, his cultivation level is too low, and the distance is so close, otherwise although I can eavesdrop on the content of the transmission, it is impossible to completely transfer the transmission. The machine spirit said triumphantly.
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Su Hong didn't hear this transmission that was originally sent to Su Hong?" Gu Zheng laughed in his heart.
"That's right, it's just the two of us. The machine spirit smiled.
A bowl of cold shrimp was quickly eaten by Su Hong, and when he put down the bowl, Su Hong, his face was full of unfinished business.
"Old Zhou, this cold shrimp is so delicious!"
"I never knew that coconut water and coconut meat are a perfect match with cold shrimp! You have processed this coconut milk, right? Is there something added to it? Why does it taste so mellow and sweet?"
"In addition to this ingenious soup, the cold shrimp tastes really smooth and fragrant! By the way, how long did it take you to make this cold shrimp? This is like a small rice ball, with a hole in the belly, but there is no contamination on the outside! However, this is a small cold shrimp, not a big rice ball! How do you always do this? I guess it takes you a lot of time to put the ingredients in the cold shrimp, right?"
"Also, you have worked so hard, the cold shrimp was really made into the appearance of shrimp by you, this is really fun and interesting!"
A bowl of cold shrimp, Su Hong was so excited that it was like a child's New Year, he only cared about expressing his feelings, completely ignoring Lao Zhou's constantly twitching face.
Finally, Su Hong's emotion was finished, and he looked at Lao Zhou with pleading eyes: "Old Zhou, can you bring me another bowl of the new cold shrimp?"
"Old Zhou, give me a bowl too!"
The people who were traveling with Su Hong also hurriedly spoke. Originally, he ate very fragrantly, but when Su Hong started to eat, he was completely attracted by curiosity, and he forgot to move his mouth at all! In Su Hong's feast, he felt a kind of enjoyment of tasting supreme deliciousness! Now that Su Hong had finished eating, he no longer wanted to eat the cold shrimp in his own bowl, which looked very mediocre.
The corners of Lao Zhou's mouth twitched, and he squeezed out two words with difficulty: "No." ”
Lao Zhou is a person who is willing to gamble and lose, as long as Gu Zhengzhen makes it better than him, even if Jiang An loses, he will not feel too sorry. But even a person who is willing to gamble and lose can't afford to be praised by others like this, which is more uncomfortable than direct sarcasm.
"Well, what a pity. Su Hong sighed.
"Senior Brother Su, don't forget, Elder Zhou will let you taste it and see which cold shrimp is more delicious!"
Xie Ying, who was covered in sweat, finally couldn't help but say something that violated the rules.
During the time when Su Hong tasted the cold shrimp, Xie Ying transmitted the message to Su Hong more than once, but the other party just turned a deaf ear.
"Would you like to eat a bowl of cold shrimp too?"
Meow Meow, who has always been very quiet, doesn't know when she has appeared next to Xie Ying, her little hand seems to be casually placed on Xie Ying's arm, Xie Ying suddenly found that he lost the ability to speak, and he couldn't even blink his eyelids.
Su Hong's brows furrowed, he already felt that the atmosphere around him was weird, but he instantly woke up from the shock brought by the cold shrimp. He frowned, looking at the bowl of cold shrimp made by Lao Zhou in front of him, as if his eyes were attracted, and he was stunned.
"Xie Ying's house is really hateful, one of his hints may make things changeable!" said the machine spirit hatefully.
"It is very likely that Su Hong is also an elite disciple, and the atmosphere at the scene is inevitably a little weird, so it is not surprising that he will think about it. However, Xie Ying has already broken the rules, no matter what Su Hong's final answer is, the losers are Xie Ying and them. But this Xie Ying, I won't let him go easily. Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Yes, don't let him go easily!" the machine spirit sneered.
didn't let everyone wait too long, the sound of a spoon slicing across the soup bowl sounded, and Su Hong scooped a spoonful of cold shrimp and put it in his mouth.
When tasting the cold shrimp, the expression on Su Hong's face was very solemn, and he put down the spoon after a mouthful of cold shrimp.
"Old Zhou, this bowl of cold shrimp is better than what you made before, but compared with 'Taiji cold shrimp', there is no comparison at all!" Su Hong smiled bitterly.
"Hoo ......"
"Plop!"
"Hey!"
In an instant, someone let out a sigh, someone sat on the bench, and someone sighed.
"Okay, the gamble is over now, do you have anything to say?"
Even if the gambling participants don't want to hear it anymore, the voice of the ancient dispute still sounds.
"Uncle Zhou?"
Jiang An looked at Lao Zhou with a sad face.
"Losing is losing, there's nothing to say! In fact, this ending, when we saw Gu Zhangmen making cold shrimp, we should have been able to guess it. This is unwilling, it is a fluke!" Lao Zhou sighed.
Jiang An didn't say much, although the stakes were a lot, but it couldn't compare to the loss in his heart, the proud family heirloom cold shrimp, in the mouth of a third party, was not comparable to the cold shrimp made by Gu Zheng at all, this kind of blow was too heavy, and the heaviness made him a little unbearable for a while.
Throwing the bet on Gu Zheng's table, Jiang An took the disciples of the Black Sky Conch Sect and left directly.
"What about yours?"
Gu Zheng's eyes were cold, staring into Xie Ying's eyes.
