Those two steaks were not ordinary items. While Shang Xiu was chatting with Tanjiro and the others, he also watched them not to overdo it.

After all, the guy Zhao Youqian gave to the two children this time was very powerful.

The energy contained in dream ingredients is already extremely high, not to mention that after being inspired by Zhao Youqian, it is far beyond the average cooking level.

However, this is because Zhao Youqian has noticed that the two children are still in the growth stage, and their bodies have been deeply injured in the past. It is impossible to tear them down and rebuild them without taking some strong medicine.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Tanjiro to continue to grow at his height.

You must know that even in a world like Rock Lee, who has real extraordinary power and can make up for the chakra particles in the body, they have been doing exercise, especially physical exercise, step by step since childhood.

As for the physical training in Tanjiro's world, even with the so-called breathing method, the compensation for the body's wear and tear is actually limited.

This is why the members of the so-called Demon Slayer Corps, even the top masters, who are known as the pillars of the organization, often find it difficult to survive beyond the first year.

His combat effectiveness will even decline early on, and he will have to give up his position to younger and more outstanding juniors.

Of course, this is also the inevitable price to pay for fighting the extraordinary with a mortal body. Otherwise, it would be too childish for you to gain the power to fight against 'ghosts' by training hard every day without paying anything.

Fortunately, Zhao Youqian is most in need of ingredients to replenish his body's vitality. The top-notch beef tenderloin steak from pork and beef happens to be the nutrients Nezuko and Tanjiro need most for their growth.

However, the pain of powerful vitality washing the body, making up for hidden injuries, and promoting physical development and recovery is inevitable.

The so-called neither breaking nor establishing, the solidified growth curve has to be broken, and the opposite is of course extreme pain. After Shang Xiu broke through to the Grand Master, her spiritual cultivation was even more integrated into the world and nature than her father Lu Miaozi. This is also She is naturally overflowing with the benefits of breakthrough.

The emergence of this superpower also helped Shang Xiu develop a magical technique to appease all things.

Just when Tanjiro and the others noticed changes in their bodies, Shangxiu's pure energy and spiritual power protected the spirits and vital points of the two children, allowing the energy that quickly decomposed and spread into their bodies to transform them more gently.

Countless heat waves spread out from their bodies, actually taking away the sick parts of their bodies.

These were all arranged by Zhao Youqian, so he just briefly glanced at the Tanjiro brothers and found that there was nothing unusual, and then directly changed the target.

Continue to look at the sleeping fish in his hand.

The meiyu, which had had its internal organs and fishy parts removed, is now whiter and cleaner, with delicate and scaleless fish skin, and its whole body looks like a long sword without a handle.

The whole body is unusually white, and even the eyes and fins are surprisingly light in color.

If you look carefully, you can still see a very clear main thorn under the fish body.

"Xiaofan, have you tried Xun?"

Hearing Zhao Youqian's question, Zhang Xiaofan was obviously a little surprised, but quickly shook his head.

However, Zhao Youqian didn't seem surprised by Zhang Xiaofan's confusion. "Smoke and fire" are actually some of the most primitive methods of preserving food. Later, in the hands of cooks, they gradually developed into a method that can compete with frying and frying. Cooking techniques.

In the northeastern land of Yaozhou, smoked sauce is a very famous category of dishes that go with wine.

"Smoking is not about making preserved vegetables, but rather tea smoking, salt smoking, sugar smoking and other methods. Smoke is used as a medium to taste the ingredients and mature them..."

“The meat of the fish is delicate, not many thorns, but rich in oil, so it is suitable for smoking.”

I saw that Zhao Youqian kept talking and moving.

I cut the fish on the chopping board with a knife, and the spine was completely divided into two halves.

This was not one fish, but two fish in total cut open in this way. You can also tell how precise his knife was and how sharp the blade was!

Just this method of identifying and processing ingredients quickly made Zhang Xiaofan's eyes light up slightly. Although he didn't fully understand it, at least he had found some way.

Zhao You stopped explaining when he got to this point, but focused on the four halves of the fish in his hands.

Rub the sea salt evenly on the surface of the fish. There is no need to add cooking wine, green onion and ginger juice, or pepper to remove the fishy smell.

Just let the fish sit aside for about fifteen minutes, and Zhao Youqian took care of other fish and prepared an iron pot.

A large amount of white sugar and tea leaves were spread in the iron pot. This iron pot was obviously rough and had not been raised. It was just the most ordinary cast iron pot. It was all black. In addition to being big and deep, the walls of the pot were also very rough. It's thick enough so I don't see any benefit at all.

But for Zhao Youqian, this was enough.

Turn on the fire and heat the iron pot. The sugar and tea leaves inside will also start to heat up as the pot changes from cold to hot.

After fifteen minutes, the excess water in the marinated fish meat precipitated. Zhao Youqian wiped off the excess water with kitchen paper, then made a plate with tin foil, put the fish skin side down and put the four halves side by side. The fish meat was put in.

At this time, the iron pot was heated to a very high temperature. Zhao Youqian directly placed a steamer rack and closed the lid.

Due to the polymerization of water vapor and temperature, the temperature in the iron pot increased again after the lid was closed. Under the accumulated heat, the sugar and tea leaves mixed and reacted, and wisps of white smoke began to slowly appear.

At this time, Zhao Youqian quickly opened the lid and put the plate made of tin foil, including the most important fish meat inside.

Then close the lid again.

All you have to do next is wait, and as a method of making smoked food, time is also the most critical.

Turn down the heat slightly, roughly to medium heat. You can see through the transparent lid in the iron pot that the smoke is still white for about a minute, and begins to turn to a light yellow color in the second or third minute.

After another three minutes, which was only six minutes in total, there was only thick yellow smoke left in the entire iron pot.

But this is not the best state yet. The atomized sugar is still a little too sweet at this time. Only after waiting for about two minutes, the yellow smoke will already have a little brown color.

This is the best time to turn off the heat!

Then use the residual heat and wait another two minutes. At this time, open the lid of the pot. The first thing that comes out is the strong caramelized sugar and the dry and astringent taste of the tea leaves.

But then, a burnt yellow color with a little reddish brown, as if completely replaced by the color of the smoke, appeared in front of everyone.

The unique aroma of smoked fish made Zhang Xiaofan drool without even realizing it.
