Chapter 005 Shopping for ingredients

There were only a few small things left in front of Gu Zheng.

A bottle of honey is only 50 ml. This bottle of honey was the reward that Gu Zheng himself received in a food competition review, and it was the highest reward, that's all.

The organizer said at the beginning that it is extremely difficult to collect this kind of honey. There is a kind of red jade flower blooming in a few mountains in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. The nectar of this flower is different from other flowers. It not only has a refreshing fragrance, but can also refresh the mind and nourish the brain.

The more you smell this kind of flower, the more energetic you will become. If you work under this kind of flower, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

The honey collected from red jellyfish is sweeter than ordinary honey. The most important thing is that if you take a sip of this honey, the fragrance can moisten your heart, make you feel high and refreshed, and keep you energetic all day long.

There are not many red flowers, and the amount of honey that can be collected every year is very small, and the price is extremely expensive. The reward given by the organizer is only one hundred milliliters, and the other fifty milliliters have been drank by Gu Zheng himself during this year. The taste

It's very good and refreshing. This is also the most important collection of ancient ingredients.

And among all the ingredients, only this one was rated as average.

Next to the honey is a branch of wild ginseng, a pure wild ginseng grown for decades. This is an ingredient left by Gu Zheng's father. Gu Zheng's father comes back for a period of time every year and lives with his son. It is an ingredient he uses to make soup.

Next to the wild ginseng was what Gu Zheng least expected.

This is a can of sorghum rice, which Gu Zheng purchased online. The seller in the online store said that this is pure natural sorghum rice grown by him, without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and it is grown next to a mountain spring. It tastes great.

Gu Zheng didn't completely believe it at first, but the seller's introduction was so good and the price was not expensive, so he bought a can and had never eaten it before.

Wild ginseng and sorghum rice were all inferior ingredients, as well as two bottles of seasonings that Gu Zheng's father brought back from abroad and were rated as inferior.

One piece of ordinary ingredients, plus water, three pieces of inferior ingredients, and two pieces of inferior seasonings. These are the available ingredients that Gu Zheng found after searching through everything in the house. Such a small amount of food is not enough for one person, let alone three people.

There was no way he could make the food he wanted.

Moreover, the high-quality olive oil in his kitchen was rated as low-grade, and the salt, vinegar, and soy sauce were trash, making it impossible to cook.

"Gu Zheng, what are you doing? Why haven't you started yet?"

Wang Tao came over to get the water and stood at the door of the kitchen looking at him doubtfully. If they hadn't known that Gu Zheng didn't like people around when he was cooking and wouldn't even let him in the kitchen, they would have come to help.

"I won't do it today. We don't have enough food at home. You go out to eat first. Tomorrow, when you all come over tomorrow night, I will cook an absolutely sumptuous meal. I guarantee it will be delicious like you have never tasted before!"

Gu Zheng almost gritted his teeth when he said these words. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and this damn test is so strict. It is impossible to do it just by relying on the things in front of you, and you can only postpone it for a day.

If it drags on for one day, Gu Zheng's pressure will increase. He only has three days, and he must conquer the taste buds of three people within these three days and make what they think is the most delicious thing in their lives, otherwise they will be obliterated.

In order to protect himself and not be obliterated, Gu Zheng had no choice but to risk his life.

"That's it, okay then!"

Wang Tao was a little disappointed, but soon became extremely excited. Gu Zheng said that he would make a meal that they had never eaten before, and he was guaranteed to have the most delicious food.

The food made by Gu Zheng is always delicious. I have never eaten it before. It is guaranteed to be the best. If there is such delicious food, it doesn't matter even if you wait one more day. They trust Gu Zheng very much. They have been together for so many years and know each other very well.

, Gu Zheng never talks big, he will definitely do what he says.

Gu Zheng was not with the three of them at night. After sending them away, he immediately called a car and went to the market. The test was so strict that Gu Zheng didn't know how Taoxian classified the ingredients. If he couldn't find enough, he could use it.

Ingredients, his test also failed this time.

Time was very tight and he couldn't waste any time.

"This is a very good Malay swallow lamp. Although it is white swallow, it is already very rare. The grade is actually garbage?"

After going to the market for a while, Gu Zheng began to howl in his heart. Many ingredients were directly defined as garbage, and even toxic ingredients appeared. This did not surprise Gu Zheng, but he did not expect that his eyes lit up.

The bird's nests I saw were high-quality bird's nests produced in Malaysia, but they were also junk food.

The value of this kind of bird's nest is not low, and Gu Zheng himself can identify many ingredients. It can be seen that this is a truly good bird's nest. I thought I could identify a second-rate result, but I didn't expect it to be rubbish.

"Master Tao Xian is very strict about the classification of food ingredients. Anything with saliva is not garbage. You can eat this kind of garbage food if you want, but it must not be used in this test!"

Qi Ling's voice was very calm and seemed a little arrogant.

"You're cruel!" Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and finally cursed and stopped talking.

“Spinach, tempeh, garbage!”

"Fresh peas, almonds, low quality!"

Gu Zheng kept listening to all kinds of rubbish and low-level comments. Basically, he picked up many things and put them down, looking around the market. He was quite satisfied with this big market, which he visited most often.

It's getting more and more desperate.

"Small ground sesame oil, second rate!"

He habitually put down a bottle in his hand. Gu Zheng, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around. He had been walking for half an hour and picked up hundreds of ingredients. This was the first inferior ingredient he had heard of today.

This is an ordinary glass bottle. There are 250 ml of yellow-brown sesame oil in the bottle. This shop also sells various oils with a strong oil fragrance.

Sesame oil, also called sesame oil, sesame oil, etc., has a long history in China. People have been eating sesame oil as early as the Three Kingdoms period.

The method of making sesame oil is somewhat different from other oils. It is not simply pressing oil. Sesame oil is divided into raw sesame oil and cooked sesame oil. They are both made of sesame seeds. The white sesame seeds are slightly fried and then pressed raw. The squeezed oil is clear and translucent with a tinge of color.

It's slightly yellow and doesn't have a strong aroma, but it has a peculiar fragrance. This is raw sesame oil.

Raw sesame oil has a cooling property and can be used to remove fire when eaten. It is also used in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, raw sesame oil can also be used as fuel. After being lit, it can be used for lighting and at the same time it brings a clear fragrance. Many people go to temples to burn incense or to make vows, and they donate it.

Some sesame oil keeps the ever-burning lamp in front of the Buddha alive. Some people donate money without bringing sesame oil, which is also called sesame oil money.

Ripe sesame oil is also called small ground sesame oil. The sesame seeds are fried and then squeezed. After squeezing, they need to be stone ground. After hundreds of processes, they are extracted over and over again, and the oil is slowly ground out. The stone grinding process is very complicated, and only the best quality

Only old craftsmen can grind out pure finely ground sesame oil. This kind of finely ground sesame oil is yellow-brown in color and has a rich fragrance. The fragrance lingers for three hundred miles after opening the bottle.

The so-called fragrance that lingers for three hundred miles after opening the bottle is definitely an exaggeration, but it also illustrates the strong fragrance of this sesame oil.

Most of the sesame oils on the market today are blended. Even if they are branded as small-ground sesame oil, they are either fake or defective products blended with other oils. Pure small-ground sesame oil is difficult to buy.

But even pure sesame oil is just low-grade ingredients. Gu Zheng’s family has pure sesame oil, and it is a full bucket of ten kilograms. It was grinded by Gu Zheng from a small sesame oil shop with his own eyes.

, the raw materials and labor costs obtained in ancient times, and all the waste materials were taken away after grinding, so as to avoid fakes and get the real small ground sesame oil.

The ones in Gu Zheng's family were inferior, but this bottle was inferior. Could it be that it was better than the pure sesame oil that he paid someone to grind out?
