George then brought the wooden box to Gui Bat and said with a smile: "Mr. Fu, I would like to ask you a small favor."
Ghost Bat glanced at the wooden box handed to him, curled his lips and said, "I've got everything back for you, what else do you want?"
George pointed to the cross stuck on the heart in the box and said: "It's a small matter, I just want to ask you to help pull out this cross. You also know that we vampires cannot touch this thing."
Ghost Bat curled his lips with a disdainful smile, then raised his hand and pulled out the cross pierced in the heart of the ancestor.
A strange scene appeared in the next second. After the cross was pulled out, the withered heart slowly began to squirm, and it beat faster and faster!
Now Ghost Bat became interested, and just as he was about to reach out and grab the heart to see what was going on, George hurriedly held the box and turned around to dodge: "What do you want to do?!"
Ghost Bat sneered and said: "Don't be so stingy, I'm just curious and want to take a closer look."
George breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Fu, this is the heart of our ancestors. You must not be rude."
Ghost Bat shrugged his shoulders, smacked his lips and said, "If you don't want to watch it, just don't watch it. Are you so nervous?"
George shook his head helplessly, and then ignored the still grumbling Ghost Bat. He took out a silver wine flask from his arms, unscrewed the cap and poured the blood in the flask into his heart.
above.
After the blood dripped on the heart, it was quickly absorbed into it. The originally dark and dry heart became full and fresh with the inhalation of blood. At the same time, the heart beat became stronger and stronger, and it made people feel it from above.
He felt a strong desire, the kind of extremely bloodthirsty desire.
Ghost Bat chuckled and said, "Interesting, this thing can drink blood!"
"Mr. Fu! Please pay attention to your words!......"
………………
In the ghost market, the Taotie House competition has now reached the five-to-three stage. Just now, Wang Hai stood out from the top ten with a "Falling Rain and Listening to Flowers" and successfully entered the top five.
There are only five players left on the field now. In addition to Wang Hai, there are also two ghosts and two demon cultivators.
One of the two ghosts is named Xie Donglin and the other is Tan Sihai. Their cooking skills are quite superb. As for the two demon cultivators who are among the top five, they are really lucky. In terms of cooking skills alone, their combined skills are
Not as good as that old ghost named Xie Donglin.
Miao Qiang, who was hiding in the crowd, said to Xiao Hunyu and Zhang Zihao beside him: "Looking at the situation on the field, if nothing unexpected happens, it will not be a problem for Wang Hai to advance to the top three. Those two demon cultivators will definitely win this round.
There is no doubt about defeat, and the final final will be decided between Wang Hai and those two ghosts. But..." At this point, he paused.
Zhang Zihao asked hurriedly: "But what? Say what you have to say, don't hesitate!"
"I want to say that I'm not worried about Tan Sihai's cooking. The only thing I'm worried about now is that guy Xie Donglin. I found out through the first few rounds of competition that that guy has evil intentions and has no rules when it comes to cooking. It's completely unpredictable.
If we can’t get out of his way, I’m really worried that he will make a mistake in the last round!”
Sure enough, Miao Qiang's worries came true. Before the top three competition, in this round of five-to-three competition, Xie Donglin got into trouble. I saw him mysteriously taking out the raw materials from the box he had prepared.
A large plate came out, covered with a piece of red silk. With the help of people around him, he quickly put the contents of the plate into the steamer. Due to the obstruction of his vision and Xie Donglin's extremely fast movements, no one was there.
Saw what he put into the steamer.
The dishes Tan Sihai cooked this time were the traditional Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, including abalone, ginseng, wings, belly, fish maw and scallops, and the cooking method was also impeccable.
As for the things made by the two demon cultivators, they were a bit too horrible to look at, and the bear on the stage shook his head.
The dish Wang Hai cooked this time has a lot of origins. It is the eggplant described in Chapter 41 of "The Red Mansion".
Anyone who has read "Red Mansions" knows that there are many versions of this book, the most common of which is the version continued and adapted by Gao E. Cao Xueqin originally wrote eighty chapters. In the more than ten years after his death, Gao E published another
I continued to write forty chapters and then compiled and published it.
Even the TV series was filmed based on this version. In the play, Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, and Wang Xifeng introduced her to the recipe of eggplant.
The original text says this: First, dice tender eggplants and fry them with chicken. Then, cut chicken breasts, mushrooms, young bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried beans, and various dried fruits into dices, and then mix them with the fried eggplants.
Simmer together with chicken stock, add some sesame oil, then mix with lees oil, marinate, and seal tightly in cans. When it's time to eat, dice the chicken tendon and fry it, and it will still be full of flavor.
However, there is another version of this book, which is the Qi preface version. Qi Liao was born in the eighth year of Yongzheng reign. When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he got an early manuscript of the 80th chapter of Cao Xueqin's "The Story of the Stone". After reading it, Qi Liao was born
In order to admire it, he wrote a preface to it, and after annotating it, it was printed and published. This version is called Qi Xu version or Qi version.
In the Qi version, the method of making eggplant requires cutting the eggplant into shreds and drying it in the sun, then steaming it thoroughly with chicken soup, steaming it thoroughly, and then drying it in the sun. After repeated nine steaming and nine drying, the eggplant can fully absorb the fragrance of the chicken soup, and then add it with
Make eggplant with auxiliary ingredients.
The word "鲞" means to peel the fish and dry it, so Miao Qiang prefers the method of cooking fish with eggplant in Qi Ban. After repeated trials, he finally reproduced this dish.
Since each steaming and drying process takes almost three days, nine steamings and nine dryings will take almost a month. Obviously they do not have such a long preparation time, but fortunately, with the advanced technology now, Grandma Liu may not have dreamed of it at that time.
, now there is an oven as a toy. So they spent almost two days steaming and drying the eggplants nine times.
At this time, Wang Hai was following the method in the book summarized by Miao Qiang to make the last step of the eggplant.
The cat demon and fox demon had already finished their dishes, and as one can imagine, neither of them got ten points together.
Tan Sihai's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was also a semi-finished product prepared in advance. After the five judges tasted it, they all gave good scores.
When it was Wang Hai's turn, while presenting the dishes, he told the five judges the origin of the eggplant and the allusions to "The Red Mansion" and "The Story of the Stone".
Xiong Ba is a big monster, and he knows nothing about this matter, and he doesn't know what Wang Hai is talking about. Huang Gou Sheng was a rough man when he was alive. If you tell him about Journey to the West, he might still know.
Sun Wukong is a monkey, but telling him "Red Mansions" is worse than playing the piano to a cow.
The remaining three judges nodded repeatedly after listening to Wang Hai's words, especially Yin Hong, who couldn't put it down, after hearing Wang Hai's eloquent account, their eyes were filled with excitement, and they even had a feeling for Wang Hai.
A feeling of regretting meeting each other too late.
Although Xiong Ba and Huang Gou Sheng did not understand "The Red Mansion", Wang Hai did a really good job with this dish, so Wang Hai advanced to the next round with full marks.
But at this moment, a discordant voice rang out. Xie Donglin smiled disdainfully and said: "What's the big deal about one eggplant? It's not a cliché, it doesn't have the slightest sense of freshness. I will give it to you ignorant people today."
Let me open your eyes and let you see what innovative dishes are.
It's a coincidence that what I made today is also eggplant. But! It's much more advanced than this guy's!"
As he was talking, he opened the lid of the pot and saw a human head steaming in the steaming pot. Judging from the appearance of the head, it should be that of a girl, definitely not more than twenty years old. After being steamed at this time, the meat on the head had already
become soft.
Xie Donglin knocked open the human head's spiritual cap, and the whole human head was like a container, holding dishes in the skull cavity.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hai felt his stomach churning, and turned around and vomited all over the floor. Yin Hong at the judges' table frowned even more, and Chen Bingyi and Jin Xin all showed disgusted expressions. On the contrary, Xiong Yan and Huang
Gou Sheng looked a little excited and could not hide his excitement!
Xie Donglin laughed strangely and said proudly: "This dish is called Rentou Bao, but it is a great tonic that I carefully developed. Please give it a try!"
