Three Realms Requiem Bamboo Tube Zongzi

The custom of worshiping ghosts and gods with delicacies has existed in Donghuang since ancient times.

Luo He already had experience in offering sacrifices to the Kitchen Lord, so when he was thinking about what kind of food to prepare for Jingyue Fox, he relaxed his thinking.

"Steamed buns, dumplings, steamed buns?"

In the kitchen, Luo He was wearing a white chef's uniform, crossing his arms and muttering to himself:

"Which one to choose for today's dinner..."

Steamed buns originated from steamed buns, and people in various parts of Donghuang still have the habit of calling steamed buns "stuffed meat steamed buns".

According to legend, steamed buns were invented by Prime Minister Zhuge to replace human heads in worshiping the God of Lushui.

Therefore, steamed buns were originally a kind of delicacy enjoyed at banquets, and were very suitable for offering sacrifices.

Luo He remembered that there was a chef who was good at pasta in "The Little Master of China" named "Noodle King" Luo Gen.

Luo Gen took the meaning of "Marquis Wu offered steamed buns as a sacrifice to Lushui" and added the meaning of "four beasts to suppress evil spirits", and made a [Four Gods Seafood and Eight Treasures Soul-Calming Steamed Bun].

The name is extremely long, the special effects are extremely gorgeous, and the soul-soothing effect is amazing. All the judges were shocked speechless.

It is naturally not difficult for Luo He to recreate this "Four Gods Soul-Calming Steamed Bun".

But as a super chef, Luo He always has some pursuits in dish innovation.

Luo He looked at the lush and dark green forest trees by the window, and thought of the heroic Sweet Dragon Bamboo in his mind. His eyes shone slightly and he said:

"How about making bamboo rice dumplings?"

Bamboo tube rice dumplings are a kind of sacrificial food with a long history.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, people packed rice in bamboo tubes and threw them into the river to pay homage. Zongzi in tubes became the earliest rice dumplings in Donghuang.

On the way here, Luo He saw wild dragon bamboo growing in the mountains and forests, and various fillings had been stored in the Qilin cabinet.

Luo He made up his mind and thought to himself: "Go out and chop a few more bamboos and come back. Let's eat bamboo rice dumplings together today!"

In the living room.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Everyone in the school team huddled uneasily on a sofa, looking at the white-haired girl sitting alone on the sofa from time to time.

Jingyue Fox closed her eyes and rested, not intending to communicate with anyone.

Seeing this, Miao Yingying asked Ye Zhidao beside her in a low voice:

"Why did you and Luo He get her to have a meal together?"

Miao Yingying really couldn't hold back her desire to complain.

I came here to investigate a haunted incident, but ended up having a dinner party with a ghost. Is this ridiculous?

"Luo He planned to use breeding methods to persuade, and the other party agreed to taste the food made by Luo He."

Ye Zhi said softly: "If persuasion fails, we will leave here."

"Okay... the itinerary is still the same, and we will still taste Luo He's dinner tonight." Miao Yingying muttered, "Just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks... it's not a big problem."

Tu Yanwu was sweating on his forehead and his hands and feet were cold.

Big, big problem!

At this time, Luo He walked out of the kitchen, and everyone looked up and stared at him.

"I'll go out and chop some bamboo. I'll be back soon," Luo He said.

"I'll go for you. What kind of bamboo do you need?" Ye Zhi stood up and asked.

Luo He immediately understood what Ye Zhi meant. If he were not in this bungalow, others might not be able to suppress Jingyue Fox.

"Sweet dragon bamboo can be found on the nearby mountains. Just cut down three of them," Luo He said.

As a Yunnan University student, Ye Zhi was very familiar with this type of Yunling specialty, and he quickly brought back fresh sweet dragon bamboo knots from nearby.

Luo He neatly cut the sweet dragon bamboo into small bamboo tubes, and then took these bamboo tubes into the kitchen again.

In the kitchen.

Luo He rolled up his sleeves and inspected the three fillings prepared in front of him.

The three fillings are candied date bean paste filling, egg yolk bacon filling, and white glutinous rice without filling.

Corresponding to the three colors of red, gold and white, and the three flavors of sweet rice dumpling, salty rice dumpling and white rice dumpling.

Since ancient times, whether rice dumplings should be eaten sweet or salty has been a controversial topic.

Luo He knows how to carry water.

There is one kind each of sweet rice dumplings and salty rice dumplings.

There are also a small number of people who dip their rice dumplings in honey or even chili peppers, so let them use white rice dumplings to dip them in their own ingredients.

To make bamboo tube rice dumplings, you need to use fresh bamboo tubes as containers, fill each bamboo tube with water and rice, then seal it with wide banana leaves and rice dumpling leaves, and steam it in a pot.

During the steaming process, the zongzi will absorb the fragrance of the bamboo knots, and the bamboo tube can also lock the delicious filling inside the bamboo tube.

It is worth mentioning that bamboo tube rice dumplings are different from bamboo tube rice.

The raw material of bamboo tube rice is rice, which is usually roasted over fire. Pay attention to adding water, heating and even turning the bamboo tube. When the bamboo tube is broken, the aroma will be fragrant.

As for the bamboo tube rice dumplings, the raw material is glutinous rice, which is steamed. The taste is fragrant and elegant, soft, waxy and creamy.

In terms of fillings, Qilin Cabinet retains the umami flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent, bringing a wonderful taste due to the freshness of the ingredients.

The bamboo tube cut open on the basalt board has absorbed part of the nutrients provided by the basalt board, giving it an emerald-like sapphire color.

Luo He put the mixed rice and fillings into the bamboo tube, and immediately asked Xiaojiu to turn off the stove fire. When the temperature was right, he put the bamboo tube upside down and put it into the steamer.

The high temperature and steam trigger a wonderful chemical reaction inside the bamboo tube, and the mountain spring water turns into water vapor, which floats out from the small holes drilled in the bamboo tube, carrying the aroma of glutinous rice.

The aroma wafted outside the kitchen, causing everyone to take a breath and look at it in wonder.

"It smells so good." Miao Yingying looked back frequently.

"Luo He's cooking skills are among the best in the entire Yunda Breeding Department." Wei Zhe adjusted his glasses, "It seems that we can have a feast today."

Tu Yanwu swallowed his saliva.

Although there is a strange guest at the dinner party... as long as the food is delicious enough, the strange things can be ignored!

Ye Zhi had just activated his talent for becoming a ghost, which consumed a lot of physical energy. After smelling the alluring aroma, his saliva began to secrete unconsciously.

She pursed her lips, paying attention to the white-haired girl's expression from the corner of her eye, and noticed that Jingyue Fox's face was full of confusion.

Jingyue Fox is wandering on the boundary between life and death, and has not been able to enjoy the food of the earthly world for more than ten years.

After all, no one would pay tribute to a lonely ghost.

It has forgotten the delicacies of the earthly world, but still maintains its senses, sniffing the wafting fragrance, with a glimmer of light in its eyes.

It doesn't take too long to steam the rice dumplings. Not long after, Luo He walked out of the kitchen carrying a dinner plate covered with a heat-insulating cover and placed the dinner plate in front of Jing Yuehu.

Jingyue Fox, who transformed into a white-haired girl, looked up at Luo He and said coldly:

"What kind of dish is this?"

"I named it—"

Luo He opened the thermal insulation cover, and three pillars of light, gold, white, and red, rose into the sky. The air waves ruffled the girl's white hair, and the light reflected the girl's uncertain face.

The aroma was fragrant, and the hot air was filled with the fragrance of glutinous rice and bamboo, and the three-color light shocked everyone present. Miao Yingying and others had incredible expressions on their faces.

"Three Realms Requiem Bamboo Zongzi." Luo He said.

"This, this..."

Miao Yingying stuttered, "Why does this rice dumpling still shine?"

Luo He said calmly: "As a breeder, making luminous dishes is a basic operation."

Wei Zhe's mood is subtle...Are you sure? Why did I hear that only the pot of colorful soup made by Emperor Nong can shine in this world?

Senior Sister Ye's face was slightly frightened. The beam of light that shot into the sky just now made her, who had always been calm, feel a little bit out of sorts.

I strongly suspect that Luo He has a talent related to food... Ye Zhi glanced at Luo He... He can even cook a dish so spectacularly!

After calming down, Ye Zhi looked carefully and saw three cut bamboo tubes placed on the dinner plate, lying horizontally on the porcelain plate like emerald jade.

In the three bamboo tubes, there are three kinds of rice dumplings of different colors, namely red rice dumplings mixed with red beans, white rice dumplings as smooth as jade, and golden and attractive meat rice dumplings.

Saliva began to secrete again, Ye Zhi bit his lower lip, and was surprised to find that his usually calm mood actually wavered in front of this dish.

There is an ancient allusion of "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall". A delicacy called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the aroma alone makes eminent monks climb over the wall to taste it.

The dishes prepared by Luo He are also so amazing that the aroma alone can shake the mood of diners!

The white-haired girl was startled at first, then opened her eyes wide and stared at the dishes in front of her, showing an eye-opening look.

It’s not that I’ve never eaten rice dumplings before, but this so-called [Three Realms Requiem Bamboo Tube Rice Dumplings] is really unheard of.

The key is, it’s so fragrant! I can’t help but want to take a bite!

The white-haired girl took a sip of saliva, and a fluffy white tail quietly grew out of her back, as if she couldn't help herself.

Miao Yingying had already learned the identity of Jingyue Fox from Ye Zhi, but she still looked surprised when she saw the fox's tail.

Just one dish makes the fox demon show its true form?

I have seen people using mirrors to look at monsters, but I have never seen people using food to look at monsters!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three-color bamboo rice dumplings on the porcelain plate, as if they wanted to go and share it immediately.
