"Jiang Sanxian, turned out to be Jiang Sanxian!"
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I would be able to see the Three Immortals making sauce in my lifetime!"
"We are so lucky. You can only see the three immortals being made, but as one of the judges, I get to taste the three immortals!"
"Fellow Daoist Luo Jin, do all the elders in your sect know that you are so annoying? Is this really okay?"
When they learned that the dish Gu Zheng and Song Xiu wanted was Jiang Sanxian, everyone watching was a little excited.
The dish "Jiang Sanxian" is very famous in the cultivation world, but Gu Zheng has never made it. He also had the idea of making "Jiang Sanxian" once, but he was unable to achieve his wish because of the lack of ingredients.
.
In the secular world, Jiang Sanxian is a dish of sauced pork consisting of sauced pork, sauced elbows, and sauced pig's trotters in a tacky way. However, in the cultivation world, in addition to its elegant name, the ingredients used are also extremely extraordinary.
The ingredients used by Jiang Sanxian are all from a high-level spiritual beast called 'Xianyun Pig'. The attack method of this spiritual beast is to emit a smoke that seriously blocks people's vision. If you want to get rid of it,
, is not an easy thing.
Naturally, there is no 'Xianyun Pig' in the real world, but there are both in Shu Ruins and Kunlun Ruins. After Guzheng entered Shu Ruins, he not only fantasized about meeting 'Xianyun Pig', but also asked about the whereabouts of 'Xianyun Pig'
Shu Xu guides the long-mouthed dog, but in the end he still doesn’t encounter it.
"If I had known that the dish he was going to make was Jiang Sanxian, I would have asked him to add some 'Xianyun Pork' as a bet." Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Are you sure?" Qi Ling asked.
"Although I have never cooked Jiang Sanxian, I am a descendant of Tie Xian. With my understanding of the ingredients, it is not a problem at all to win this dish." Gu Zheng said confidently.
After announcing the dishes to be tried, the people from the Kunlun Sect also started preparations. It didn't take long before the stove and other things were already set up in the open space next to Longzhan Square.
"Master Gu, check the kitchen utensils and ingredients. If there are no problems, we can start." Song Xiu said.
"no problem."
Song Xiu didn't need to say anything, the weapon spirit had already checked it for Gu Zheng, so Gu Zheng answered simply.
"Okay, since there is no problem, we can start now. Although the cooking time is not mentioned in advance, if one person's cooking is too late for another person's cooking, the person who is late will still lose!
Does the ancient master have anything to say about this?" Song Xiu asked.
"There's nothing to say about this. It's just that when you use the same ingredients to make the same food, the choice of auxiliary ingredients can only be those that use a chopping board, right?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right." Song Xiu nodded.
"I see that there are a lot of auxiliary materials on the chopping board. Are there any requirements for the use of these auxiliary materials? Are the production methods allowed to be somewhat different?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"The auxiliary materials are originally used as auxiliary materials. If you think they are useless, you don't need to use them. As for the production methods, as long as the ingredients used are those on the chopping board, the cooked dishes will be the best." Song Xiu said impatiently.
.
"Okay, let's get started!"
Gu Zheng smiled, and the two of them stood behind a chopping board.
The ingredients used to make the Sauce Sanxian are all the same, including a few pieces of Xianyun pork with skin, two Xianyun pig knuckles, and four Xianyun pig trotters. As for the auxiliary ingredients, all kinds of spices are also available.
The ingredients of Xianyun Pork are of the same grade, but the ingredients of various spices and accessories are a bit uneven. Although there are no poisonous and garbage, there are also low-grade ones. This is why Gu Zheng just asked Song Xiu
, are there any requirements for the use of spices and auxiliary ingredients? Since Song Xiu said that there are no requirements, any ingredients that are lower than the second grade and are not necessary for making sauce, Gu Zheng will discard them.
Under normal circumstances, when it comes to Xianyun pork, a rare and rare ingredient, the minimum standard for auxiliary ingredients is the ordinary level. But it is different now. Now we are trying it with others. For example, cooking sauce Sanxian is indispensable.
The sweet noodle sauce and rock sugar are only second-class ingredients! Under normal circumstances, Guzheng will never allow them to lower the taste of Xianyun pork, but today's is 'Jiang Sanxian'. If the sweet noodle sauce and rock sugar are missing, make
What comes out is not Jiang Sanxian, it can only be regarded as stewed meat.
The traditional way to make Sauce Sanxian is to grill all the three main ingredients with skin on the fire, then soak them in cold water for a period of time, then blanch them again, brush the Xianyun pig trotters with the sauce and steam them in a cage.
Xianyun pork is deep-fried once, and Xianyun pork knuckle is stewed directly. When the Xianyun pork knuckle is cooked to the right time, the steamed Xianyun pig trotters and fried Xianyun pork are placed in the
Boil together and then remove from the pot.
The main ingredients provided by Song Xiu have only been roughly processed, so they need to be processed carefully before cooking.
I saw that Song Xiu and Gu Zheng both put the meat on the lit charcoal fire to remove the hair. For a while, the sound of "sizzling" was heard continuously.
After completely burning off the remaining fine hair of the main ingredient, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu put the main ingredient into cold water.
There wasn't that much time to soak, so the two people who put the main ingredients into the cold water used their own methods. The originally clear cold water in the basin instantly turned blood red.
After initially removing the blood, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu put the main ingredients into a pot and blanched them in water to further remove the blood. After doing all this, the next thing to do is to separate the ingredients.
Song Xiu's method of handling ingredients separately seems very traditional, but Gu Zheng's side is a little different. He first puts Xianyun pork knuckles into a pot with mixed water and boils them, and then deep-fries them.
Xianyun pork was grilled on the fire.
Xianyun pork is made from pork belly. Whether it is fried in the traditional way or grilled in the ancient and modern way, the basic purpose is to remove the oil from Xianyun pork.
However, when Gu Zheng was baking, he used a water-controlling technique to condense all the excess fat together, and when the time was right, he collected all the dripping Xianyun lard in a small bowl.
"smell good!"
"It's no wonder it's Xianyun pork. It's just a simple roast, and it can emit such an appetizing aroma that it makes me hungry."
"I'm fine. What does Master Gu want with that oil?"
In the traditional Sauce Sanxian, the pork belly needs to be deep-fried. Gu Zheng didn’t know whether it was because of Song Xiu’s poor preparation in a hurry or for some other reason. The oil he provided was not the high-quality lard from Xianyun Pig.
It's a kind of rapeseed oil with only second-class ingredients. This is why Gu Zheng changed from frying to roasting. As for the oil from Xianyun pig, Gu Zheng wanted to use Jiang Sanxian's pig.
The pig's trotters have a more layered texture. He wanted to fry the pig's trotters in oil before steaming them.
Xianyun pork has been roasted. Gu Zheng put some lard into the pot. After the oil was hot, he colored the pig's trotters and put it into the pot for frying.
The aroma wafted from the pot. Gu Zheng took out the pig's trotters that had been fried until golden brown on both sides and the skin was bubbling. He then brushed a layer of sauce on the pig's trotters and steamed them.
Gu Zheng had already preliminarily separated the three main ingredients. He glanced at Song Xiu who was aside and saw that Song Xiu had just completed the separation process.
"I have to say that he improved during the food competition this time. His processing speed of ingredients was much faster back then." Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Just from these details, I don't see that he has any confidence in winning. After all, he has used all the auxiliary ingredients that should be used and those that should not be used! From this point alone, the Jiang Sanxian he made is
, the taste needs to be a bit worse." Qi Ling said.
"I'm a bit good too. I picked two of the three judges. They both swore the inner demon oath, so there shouldn't be any problems. So what's the basis for Song Xiu to dare to continue betting with me?"
What?" Gu Zhengxin murmured.
"Master Gu, don't just look at me, be careful of the food you cook getting burnt." Song Xiu snorted at Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, it won't burn out."
Gu Zheng smiled and continued to use the Fire Control Technique to stimulate the fire, and the fire became even more intense.
Song Xiu didn't say anything else. He also used his inner strength to control the fire. Even from the outside, his fire was even more intense than before.
Gu Zheng and Song Xiu are not ordinary chefs. The time it takes them to cook a dish is much faster than ordinary people. It doesn't take long. The ingredients that the two of them handled separately are all ready, and it's time to stew them together.
It's time.
The most important flavor of the dish "Jiang Sanxian" is "sauce", and the time used for this sauce is when the three ingredients are put together.
Add the sweet noodle sauce into the oil to make the fried sauce. Song Xiu and Gu Zheng both did this process very quickly. Then they poured the sauce into the soup pot where Xianyun pork knuckle was cooked before, and added the other two ingredients and changed the sauce to small
Stew over fire.
I didn't find anything unusual about Song Xiu before, so Gu Zheng was almost the last step of Jiang Sanxian, so I paid special attention to Song Xiu's actions. I saw that Song Xiu seemed to be inadvertent, but he put a little bit of
The black powder bounced into the soup pot.
"How disgusting!"
The weapon spirit who had also been paying attention to Song Xiu couldn't help but cursed.
"When his brother lost to you before, he secretly used flavor-enhancing flowers when cooking to enhance the freshness. Now, his brother said before the game that he can't add supplements to it, but who would have thought that he would actually do it again?
Used auxiliary ingredients!" Qi Ling said disdainfully.
"What are the supplements used by Song Xiu? It doesn't look like flavor-enhancing flowers!" Gu Zheng thought to himself.
"Although the flowers he used are not flavor-enhancing flowers, they have similar effects to the flavor-enhancing flowers. A very disgusting bug will appear in a century-old sauce vat. This bug is black in color and its name is 'Jiang Jing'. Sauce.
Although the essence looks disgusting, it is made from the essence of soy sauce. They are dried by special means, ground into powder and put into sauce-flavored dishes, which can double the flavor of the sauce." Qi Ling said bitterly.
.
“Xianyun Pork itself is very delicious, even ordinary cooking, it can make people’s lips and teeth smell delicious!”
"Song Xiu's cooking skills are pretty good, but for the non-professional judges on this dish, my, Song Xiu's, better cooking skills won't give me much of an advantage."
"Now that things have happened, Song Xiu actually used something that can enhance the flavor of the sauce. If this kind of thing enhances the flavor of the sauce, it is estimated that the difference in meat flavor, which is not too obvious, will be directly ignored by the non-professional judges!
After all, the extraordinary aroma of soy sauce can make even a small difference overwhelming."
Gu Zheng calmly analyzed it, but still couldn't think of a way to solve it. Song Xiu, who thought that the overall situation was settled, looked at Gu Zheng with a smile.
"It's okay, don't worry. Everything has its pros and cons. In the eyes of Master Tiexian, things like 'sauce essence' are considered a low-level means of improving freshness. It might as well be just a flavor-enhancing flower used to increase the umami flavor! This
In addition to making something disgusting, another reason is that it cannot stand the test!"
Qi Ling's triumphant voice made Gu Zheng's eyes light up: "So, you have a way to break this situation?"
"Of course there are ways to break the situation, but since he used despicable means, this situation cannot be broken easily. We have to let him fully enjoy the feeling of falling from high altitude! After all, you want to defeat him with your own ability, which I value very much.
I won't allow him to secretly make trouble when you want fairness!" Qi Ling said bitterly.
Gu Zheng and Song Xiu's Jiang Sanxian came out one after another. The time apart was not that long, and there was no problem.
"Master Gu, according to the order of cooking, your sauce is already a little cold. Should you let the judges taste it first?"
Song Xiu's statement that he seemed to be considerate of others made Gu Zheng find him even more disgusting.
First of all, Gu Zheng certainly knew that the weather in Kunlun was very cold. Even though Jiang Sanxian cooked the pot, he would not be stupid enough to put it on the chopping board and wait for it to cool down.
Secondly, Gu Zheng's Jiang Sanxian seemed to be placed in a pot that had been removed from the fire, but under the control of his immortal power, the temperature in the pot was enough to keep Jiang Sanxian at a warm level.
Moreover, when it comes to tasting delicious food, it is not about being the one who tastes it first and taking advantage of it. The one who is tasted first is more likely to forget the taste, especially when there is not much difference in the taste of the food one after another.
Looking at Gu Zheng, who frowned, Song Xiu shrugged and said, "If Master Gu feels that you will suffer a loss due to my proposal, you can also let the judges taste your food and give it a score first."
"What a good calculation. Such a bet will still have an impact even if the scores are scored first, right? After all, the judges are still thinking about the next dish, so they will inevitably have reservations when scoring. After all, everyone is not
Professional judges." Gu Zheng sneered.
"Master Gu, you are really careless. Why didn't I notice it before?" Song Xiu paused and said nonchalantly: "Originally, I was thinking about you, but you are so ungrateful, so I'll go first. Anyway, it's really
Gold is not afraid of fire."
"Good gold is not afraid of fire. I want to see what tricks you can play. I'll do it first. I'll do it first!"
Gu Zheng smiled and took out the still steaming Sauce Sanxian. The sound of swallowing was heard all around. In fact, this kind of sound almost never stopped during the cooking process of Gu Zheng and Song Xiu!
Don't say that these cultivators are worthless. After all, this is delicious food cooked by masters of other ingredients. Although it has not reached the state of extremely fragrant transformation, its charming fragrance still makes people have normal reactions.
.
"Which one of you three will come first?" Gu Zheng looked at the three judges.
"I'll go first!"
The three judges spoke almost at the same time, but the female cultivator who had contributed blood was undoubtedly the loudest.
"Okay, you go first!"
Gu Zheng smiled and handed over his chopsticks. The female cultivator eagerly picked up a piece of Xianyun pork knuckle and put it into her mouth.
