The ingredients Xuan Yue have already been processed. Whether it is the main ingredient fish or the other two auxiliary ingredients, they are all processed with fine processing, and the fine processing is naturally not ordinary simple cleaning. After all, the grades of these ingredients are all
If you want to make a better taste without refined processing, not to mention Xuan Yue can't do it, even Gu Zheng can't do it easily.
Heat the oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, Xuan Yue puts the two auxiliary ingredients into the pan and stir-fry.
The hot and sour flavor permeates the air. It's just the right amount of sour and spicy flavor, which wakes you up but doesn't make you want to sneeze.
After the two auxiliary ingredients were fried, Xuan Yue put the fish fillets that had been filleted into the pot and stir-fried for a while, and then poured the food in the pot into the jar on the fire.
In order to make this fish soup today, Xuan Yue specially made this fish soup stew jar.
If you want to make a delicious fish soup from inferior quality fish, it is very important to control the heat. Xuan Yue uses the fire control technique to control the fire while paying attention to the changes in the fish soup in the pot. It has a strong sour and spicy aroma.
It becomes richer and richer, the aroma of fish slowly develops, and the color of the soup gradually turns milky white.
"It's done."
After a while, Xuan Yue took away the fire control technique and extinguished the firewood burning under the jar.
After making the first fish soup, Xuan Yue's face was not too happy. She expected to make the fish soup extremely fragrant, but in fact she wanted to use inferior ingredients to make it extremely fragrant.
It's really not easy.
After the fish soup was ready, the next thing Xuan Yue made was the meat dish among the two hot dishes.
Today I caught a lot of river fresh food in the creek. The meat dish Xuan Yue is going to make is fried shrimps.
Neither Gu Zheng nor Xuan Yue knew what this kind of shrimp, which was about a meter long but had a body as thick as a thumb, was called. They just knew that this kind of shrimp with a relatively colorful skin was not poisonous.
Xuan Yue had already processed the shrimps before, so what is now in the stone bowl is a bowl of clean shrimps. In addition to the main ingredient of shrimps, this dish also has two auxiliary ingredients that look like apples.
The auxiliary ingredient is a kind of fruit. This fruit is produced in Monkey Mountain. When I was looking for ingredients that can be used for cooking and therapeutic food in Monkey Mountain today, after Xuan Yue tasted this fruit, I had the inspiration to use it to make shrimps.
.
The fruit looks like an apple, and the pulp also looks like an apple. It has been processed by Xuan Yue and now looks like mashed jam.
Put a little oil in the pot, Xuan Yue poured the jam into it and stir-fried. When the pulp completely melted and turned into a pool of reddish soup, Xuan Yue put the processed shrimp into it and stir-fried for a while.
, and added a little salt.
Gu Zheng and the others did not bring seasonings such as salt and sugar into this space world, but there is no shortage of such things here. If sugar is really needed, Xuan Yue can boil fructose to make it, and like what is used now
Salt is a mineral salt that is not difficult to obtain in this space world.
The aroma of shrimp and the aroma of fruit should be relatively conflicting smells, but in the dish Xuan Yue cooked, the shrimp is not the shrimp from the ancient times, and the fruit is not the fruit from the ancient times. When these two smells are mixed together, not only do they not conflict, but they actually
Mouth-watering.
'Fruit Shrimp' is not a time-consuming dish, so it was quickly prepared by Xuan Yue. This dish also did not become very fragrant, but after experiencing that the fish soup failed to become very fragrant,
Xuan Yue is no longer so disappointed.
The second and third dishes Xuan Yue will make are both cold dishes, and these two cold dishes are also meat and vegetable.
After preparing the two cold dishes, Xuan Yue can make the last ingredient while they are getting delicious.
The first of the two cold dishes is a meat dish. The main ingredient is a kind of fish that Xuan Yue caught in the stream. It looks like fish, but it is not actually a fish. It has a hard shell on its body and its meat is relatively soft.
Relatively little.
Xuan Yue originally didn't plan to ask for this kind of ingredient, but Gu Zheng's casual words at that time made him change his original idea. Gu Zheng said that this fish-like thing should have a unique flavor when its meat is eaten cold.
.
The words Gu Zheng said by the stream at that time were the source of Xuan Yue's inspiration, but the master just said that. If the apprentice wants to present it perfectly, it will take a lot of effort.
After all, the two of them are not at the same level in terms of diet.
Xuan Yue has already processed it before, and the shell of the 'crustacean fish' has been removed, leaving only a plate of fish meat with cartilage, and the fish meat has been blanched before, and it is considered to be medium cooked. Now Xuan Yue
All Yue has to do is prepare the sauce to serve it cold.
Already having an idea, it doesn't take much time to make the sauce. After making the sauce, Xuan Yue poured the sauce on the fish, and then stirred the meat. In this cold meat dish, fish is the main ingredient, and the ingredients are
I just used one kind, which is a kind of aquatic plant in the stream. It is not as soft as ordinary aquatic plants, but is like a crisp and juicy vegetable.
The second cold dish Xuan Yue wants to make is a vegetarian dish. The main ingredient used in this vegetarian dish is fungus. There are three colors: 'yellow, white and black'. Except for the common black one, the other two are from ancient times.
Ingredients not found in.
Among the three colors of fungus, the black one is relatively simple to process, while the yellow and white ones took Xuan Yue a little time to process. After all, yellow and white fungus are things that did not exist in ancient times, and their taste is the same as that of black fungus.
The fungus looked very similar, but it had an indescribable fragrance, and she wanted to preserve this fragrance to the greatest extent possible.
For Xuan Yue, the difficulty of making cold dishes with three-color fungus lies in the processing of the ingredients. As for the role of the sauce, in addition to making them salty, the more important role is to highlight the taste of the ingredients themselves.
.
Three of the four dishes have been prepared, and the last one left is a hot dish. There are two ingredients used in this dish, one is bird eggs, and the other is vegetables, and these two ingredients are all
It is what monkeys and spirit beasts usually eat.
There is nothing much to say about bird eggs. Vegetables make Gu Zheng feel friendly, because this round vegetable is very similar to cabbage, but the taste of this vegetable is completely different from that of cabbage. It takes the same time to fry the cabbage.
They are crispy when fried, while vegetables like cabbage are soft when fried. Even if they have not eaten this vegetable yet, Gu Zheng can tell through the Tao Eye that the texture of this vegetable will be better after frying.
Like spinach, but without the alkaline smell of spinach.
Bird eggs do not need to be processed in advance, as long as they are beaten into egg liquid before cooking. Vegetables need to be processed in advance, in order to force out their special fragrance, and to save time and make the bird eggs more tender, Xuan Yue
It has been boiled in water beforehand.
Heat the oil in the pot and pour the egg liquid into it. The aroma of the fried eggs immediately spreads. At the right time, Xuan Yue adds the vegetables into the pot. After a brief stir-fry, the last dish is finished.
"Master, dinner is ready!"
Xuan Yue served four dishes and one soup, not forgetting to put the monkey wine given by the Monkey King on the temporary dining table.
Gu Zheng opened his eyes, looked at Xuan Yue and smiled: "How about we, master and disciple, have a drink first?"
"Yeah!"
Xuan Yue poured wine for Gu Zheng with a smile on her face, and the two wine glasses quickly touched each other.
Since Gu Zheng's current body is that of a monster, without hands, he naturally cannot drink and eat like a human. He can only accomplish these things through magic, which makes him glad that he still has magic.
The method can be used, otherwise he would eat and drink in front of his disciples like a wild beast, then he would rather not eat or drink.
"Ahem!"
After drinking a glass of monkey wine, Xuan Yue couldn't help but cough. This didn't mean that she choked on the monkey wine, it could only be said that the contrast shocked her.
The key reason why Xuan Yue wants to drink so much is that the fairy wine Gu Zheng gave her is so delicious. Although she knows that the monkey brewed by the Monkey King cannot be compared with the fairy wine brewed by Gu Zheng, the Monkey King is also smart after all.
A good spiritual beast, the monkey wine brewed by it should not be too bad. However, the monkey wine brewed by the Monkey King gave Xuan Yue the feeling that it had been mixed with too much water.
It tastes really bland.
Seeing Xuan Yue coughing, Gu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "This monkey wine is really wise in success and wise in failure!"
"Master, what do you say?" Xuan Yue asked curiously.
"This monkey wine was originally good. If the monkey king didn't have enough intelligence, he wouldn't be able to brew such monkey wine. However, there was a problem during the brewing process of the monkey wine. The taste and efficacy can only be selected.
One! It is precisely because of his higher intelligence that the Monkey King chose efficacy over taste, so the monkey wine that could have tasted better has become what it is now. However, you are drinking it because of the master.
If you have never tasted a good fairy wine, then when you drink this monkey wine for the first time, you will be amazed and think it is a fine wine!"
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Xuan Yue nodded. If there was no comparison with Gu Zheng's fairy wine, the taste of this monkey wine would be really good.
"Master, try the four dishes and one soup I made!"
Since the ingredients used in today's cooking are Gu Zheng's proposition, Xuan Yue would also like to hear Gu Zheng's comments even if there is no appearance of Ji Xiang's transformation.
"Based on your current dietary skills, the full score of each dish is ten points. The teacher will give you a score after tasting it. Now let's start with this 'Fruit Fried Shrimp'!"
Gu Zheng opened his mouth and sucked, and one of the shrimps on the plate immediately flew into his mouth.
There is a sweet and sour taste in the mouth. This sweet and sour taste is not particularly strong, with a little salty aroma behind it.
Although the shrimp used in the 'Fruit Shrimp' is something that has never existed before, the taste of the shrimp meat is still the same, with firmness and freshness.
After chewing a few times, Gu Zheng swallowed the shrimp and said, "I will give you a total score of nine for this 'fruity shrimp', eight of which are for your performance, and the other one is for your creativity, using fruits."
Making shrimps not only tastes good, but is also very creative. As for the missing points, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, the way of eating tests not only your skills, but also your understanding and experience of the ingredients.
of these things.”
Xuan Yue nodded hurriedly, naturally she would not think that she had cooked it perfectly, and she also knew that after the meal, Gu Zheng would give her some clear corrections on the shortcomings of her cooking in these dishes.
The second dish Gu Zheng tasted was the meat dish in the cold dish. There were two kinds of ingredients used in this dish, one was crustacean fish and the other was aquatic plants.
The medium-rare fish meat highlights the umami flavor in the meat, and the presence of the sauce also suppresses the original fishy smell in the meat to a minimum. When paired with crispy and juicy water plants, it tastes unique.
"I didn't expect that with just a casual comment at the time, you would actually challenge the fish salad, so I had to add one point to your score, and your final score for this dish was eight!
With your current dietary skills and the ingredients on hand, you should be able to completely eliminate the fishy smell, leaving only the taste of the fish itself! However, you failed to do this, so you can’t do this.
You will lose points. As for how to do this, I want you to think about it yourself."
Ignoring Xuan Yue's frown, Gu Zheng began to taste the second cold dish.
A crispy sound came from Gu Zheng's mouth. This dish seemed to be the simplest. It was just a cold dish with three types of fungus. However, it was the dish that Gu Zheng had tasted the most so far. However, this was not the dish that Gu Zheng tasted the most.
This dish is the most delicious, but there are three kinds of ingredients used in this dish. If you want to find out more problems, you can only taste a little more.
"The processing of the ingredients is good, I will give you one extra point for this, but in the end, Master can only give you a seven-point evaluation for this dish!"
Gu Zheng's voice stopped, and Xuan Yue's eyes widened. In her heart, she felt that this seemingly simple cold dish should not be rated lower than the previous two dishes.
"The reason why this dish has the lowest rating is because of your self-confidence! You have forgotten that Master once told you that before opening the Eye of Tao, it is best to taste every dish before serving it.
To the guests. You have not yet opened your Tao Eyes, and the ingredients you are cooking are completely without any experience! What you rely on is your understanding of the ingredients when handling them, and your talent for eating.
guidance, but neither of these are as careful as the Eye of Tao, so you got such a low score. There is no problem with three types of fungus and three different fragrances, but the problem lies in these three types of fungus.
They cannot be eaten together. If they are eaten together, there will be an unpleasant smell of rotten wood!"
Gu Zheng's words made Xuan Yue quickly pick up Kuaizi. She picked up three kinds of fungus at the same time and put them in her mouth to chew.
"Well!"
Xuan Yue's mouth bulged, and she couldn't help but admire Gu Zheng's determination. But even when she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel like vomiting! That smell of rotten wood was not only unpleasant, it simply made people want to
The vomit smells like rotten wood! However, Xuan Yue had to finish the food she cooked even if it was unpalatable. Thinking that this would make her forgetful, Xuan Yue swallowed back the fungus in her mouth that made her want to vomit.
"For breakfast tomorrow morning, I will order this cold fungus dish for my master!" Gu Zhengdan said.
"Master, don't worry, I will not let you down!"
Xuan Yue is not worried that she will not be able to cook the same dish tomorrow. Since she already knows the problem, if it is beyond her current understanding, Gu Zheng will definitely teach her the experience after the meal. If it is not beyond her understanding,
Yes, even if Gu Zheng didn't talk about it, she felt that as long as she thought about it carefully, she could think of this method of getting rid of the smell of rotten wood.
"The last dish."
Gu Zheng did not taste the last dish immediately, a smile that Xuan Yue couldn't understand appeared on his face.
The last dish contained fried eggs. Gu Zheng had a special feeling for fried eggs. When he first came into contact with the art of eating, he made many fried eggs. Later, when he taught Xiong San and others, these people's introduction
Cooking skills are basically omelette! If it weren't for the unfortunate timing of accepting Xuan Yue as his apprentice, Gu Zheng would have asked her to start with omelette first.
The taste of fried eggs is much different from the taste of fried eggs in Gu Zheng's memory. After all, the fried eggs in Gu Zheng's memory are basically eggs with ordinary ingredients, and these obtained from Monkey Mountain
Bird eggs are birds raised in captivity by monkeys and spirit beasts. Due to improper raising methods, the quality of bird eggs, which were originally higher than eggs, has become lower in quality.
"There is a plus point in this last dish, that is, the selection of vegetables is better. If the vegetables were not blanched in advance, and if they were not mixed with eggs and stir-fried, this dish would have been cooked with just two inferior ingredients.
The dishes will not have such a taste that is slightly inferior to ordinary ingredients, so the master will give you nine points for this dish!"
The appearance of Jiufen naturally brought a smile to Xuan Yue's face, and she quickly placed the freshly served soup in front of Gu Zheng.
The soup bowl was not big, so Gu Zheng just took a sip, and all the long-cooked fish fillets and soup went into his mouth.
The hot and sour taste instantly filled Gu Zheng's mouth. After his tongue got used to the hot and sour taste, the unique aroma of fish soup emerged again.
Although the fish meat has been cooked for a long time, it is cooked just right. It is slightly elastic but not difficult to chew. The delicious smell of fish meat lingers on your lips and teeth while chewing.
"There are no extra points for this dish. With your current eating skills, this is a solid nine-point dish!"
Among the evaluations of the four dishes and one soup, Gu Zheng’s evaluation of the soup was the shortest, and Xuan Yue’s performance was also the most excited. She jumped up cheering! Although there had been nine-point dishes before, but among the two nine-point dishes
All of them are extra points for the skillful selection of ingredients, and this dish is a real skillful dish! Even if Gu Zheng didn't say it clearly, Xuan Yue knew that her control over the heat of this dish had reached the limit, including the fish meat after turning off the heat.
She had calculated in her mind how long it would take to soak it in the hot soup. It was precisely because of this care that the fish tasted just right when Gu Zheng ate it!
"Stop being silly, let's have another drink together, master and disciple!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Before the dishes were finished, a gourd of monkey wine had been drank by the master and the apprentice. However, the monkey king sent more than one gourd of monkey wine, but when Xuan Yue went to get the second gourd of monkey wine
, but she was stopped by Gu Zheng.
"Don't drink monkey wine today. Drinking it again will affect the absorption of the medicinal effects of the next meal." Gu Zheng said.
"Master, are you asking me to cook and practice food?" Xuan Yue's eyes lit up.
"That's right, the Immortal Essence on Monkey Mountain is relatively rich, and it is also suitable for you to take a food cultivation here." Gu Zheng said.
"Then what kind of food does the master want the disciple to cook?"
Xuan Yue became excited. The last time she and Gu Zheng were in the cave, she had taken the food that Gu Zheng cooked for her, but it had been some time.
"You have already read the jade slips today. What kind of food do you think your master will ask you to cook?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
