Almost immediately after Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou cheered, Tian Yunxiu also cheered.
However, Tian Yunxiu's applause and Jiang Yizhen's applause have completely different mentality! Jiang Yizhen and the others feel happy, but Tian Yunxiu is very impulsive. She really wants to find out what is going on! Obviously she
How could it be that when Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou tasted food cultivation without immortality, immortality was generated?
"What's good!"
Shang Wen, who was still sweating with cold sweat on his forehead, stopped Tian Yunxiu who wanted to get chopsticks.
"We admit defeat!"
Shang Wen is still relatively rational, and now he has believed what Miao Miao said before, every mountain is higher than the next!
Although they can still afford to add one more high-grade Yuan-increasing food repair material, is it really worth spending such resources to verify a thing that feels 90% likely to lose? Shang Wen thinks
It's not worth it, and he doesn't think that Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou lied against their will.
"Are you admitting defeat? If you admit defeat, just fulfill your previous promise!" Gu Zheng sneered.
Like a defeated rooster, Shang Wen gave twenty special-grade resources to Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou in a dejected manner, and then gave Gu Zheng a piece of high-grade Zengyuan Food Repair ingredients.
"Apologise to us now and leave Wufeng Island!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
"I'm sorry. What happened this time was our fault. We broke the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu. I'm sorry to everyone!"
Shang Wen clasped his fists around and lowered his head, not daring to look into anyone's eyes.
"And you!"
Lian Yuxin finally found a chance to take revenge. She looked at Tian Yunxiu with her chin slightly raised.
Tian Yunxiu gritted his teeth, imitated Shang Wen's appearance and movements, and repeated what Shang Wen had just done.
"You two, remember, you are not welcome in Jixiang Xiaozhu from now on! In addition, there is one more thing you must remember. The incident happened in Jixiang Xiaozhu. I am a businessman who opened the door to do business, so I can calm down the matter easily.
, if you are outside and you try to do this with me and try to quarrel with me, I will make you regret having such an idea!"
The murderous intent that flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes made Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu feel nervous, but fortunately, the murderous intent was only fleeting.
"Really, why are you looking for any unpleasantness in coming to Jixiang Xiaozhu when you have nothing to do?"
"There are some people who cannot be offended. Don't think that just because you come from the ancient times, you can be confident! Since you all come from the ancient times, I would like to advise you two, it is better to keep your tail between your legs!"
Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou each added insult to injury, making Shang Wen's expression even more ugly.
"please!"
Gu Zheng reached out to the two of them and sent them away from Wufeng Island.
"Hey, I really didn't expect it to end like this. Ancestor Xuanming ordered us to fail to handle things well, and we offended Gu Zheng again." Outside Wufeng Island, Shang Wen said regretfully.
"Yes! No one expected that such a demon cultivator would appear on the way."
Tian Yunxiu sighed, and then asked: "What should we do now? How can we go back and explain to Ancestor Xuanming?"
"How to explain? Tell the truth!" Shang Wen looked helpless.
After sending Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu away in the Immortal Formation to Protect the Island, Gu Zheng did not return to Wufeng Island immediately. He and his companion Miaomiao were walking on the sea at this time.
"Miaomiao, you can do it! Thanks to you for what happened this time!" Gu Zheng pinched Miaomiao's cheek.
"hey-hey."
Meow Meow stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Meow meow, you did a good job, let me reward you this time!"
For the first time, Qi Ling praised Meow Meow in person, and Meow Meow was so happy that Meow Meow jumped up on the sea.
"Ahem!"
Meow Meow just jumped up and made a coughing sound.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"It's nothing, the backlash left behind by using magical powers."
Miao Miao smiled bitterly, and then told Gu Zheng the details.
Miaomiao's body is a blackmail beast, but her bloodline is not pure, and her innate magical powers have not been awakened for long, and because the other party's cultivation level is in the realm of returning to the virtual world, she inevitably suffered after using her magical powers.
damage.
Miao Miao used his natal magical powers on Jiang Yizhen, Zhang Hualou, Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu, and used both the magical powers of bewitchment and true and false exchange. Therefore, under the influence of Shang Wen's blood, it should have been exclusive
After Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou tasted the Zengyuan Food Cultivator, they felt that it could still produce immortal energy. This was the innate magical power of bewitchment and exchange of true and false, working at the same time.
In addition, Shang Wen, Tian Yunxiu, and Miao Miao also used these two magical powers on them, but in the end Shang Wen was more sensible and did not let Tian Yunxiu try again, otherwise the feeling Tian Yunxiu had would be different from Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou
The same.
Moreover, it is not easy for Miaomiao to use her innate magical powers. She was originally very close to Jixiang Xiaozhu, but the reason why it took her five minutes to enter Jixiang Xiaozhu was because she wanted to attack many immortal cultivators in the realm of returning to the virtual world.
It is impossible to use your natal magical power without casting the spell in advance.
As for the backlash Miao Miao suffered, it was actually not serious and would only take a day to heal.
After listening to Miaomiao's story, Gu Zheng asked: "Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou told lies under your magical power. What will happen to their inner demons in the future?"
"They made an answer that was not against their will without knowing whether it was true or false, so in the future they will not be in a demonic state like today's incident. After all, they have no regrets!" Meow Meow said.
Gu Zheng touched Miaomiao's hair and said with a smile: "Tell me, you have made a great contribution this time. What reward do you want?"
"Can I give you any reward you want?"
Miao Miao looked at Gu Zheng, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.
"Can."
Gu Zheng nodded. He knew that when Miao Miao looked like this, there was a high probability that he had something to eat.
"I want to eat the bearded fish we caught last time!" Meow Meow said excitedly.
The dragon fish Miaomiao mentioned was a strange fish caught during the 'fish tide' when Gu Zheng took her to Wufeng Island for the first time.
A total of three dragon fish were caught at that time, and this relatively rare and strange fish was specially released into the prehistoric space by Qi Ling.
If Miaomiao hadn't mentioned it today, Gu Zheng would have almost forgotten that there were three dragon fish in the pond in the ancient space. He hadn't paid attention to them for a long time.
When Qi Ling specially approved the dragon fish to be put into the prehistoric space, it was said that this strange fish, which was originally a medium-grade food material, could grow to an excellent grade in one year of growth in the prehistoric space.
It has been nearly a year since I first came to Wufeng Island. Since Meow Meow wanted to eat it, Gu Zheng naturally agreed.
After returning to Jixiang Xiaozhu, Gu Zheng entered the prehistoric space. He explored the pond with his spiritual mind and immediately discovered three dragon fish at the bottom of the pond.
For nearly a year, the dragon fish grew very fast in a special place like the primitive space, and each one weighed almost six kilograms.
A fish weighing six pounds is already very big. Killing one fish is enough to make a meal in the evening.
Although it has not grown up yet, the food grade of the dragon beard fish is still average, but in the primitive space where the immortal energy is abundant, Gu Zheng's water control technique is already advanced, so it is not a problem to turn it into a high-grade food material in a short time.
.
Gu Zheng stood by the pond, and when he activated the water control technique, he first imprisoned a dragon fish.
There are three dragon fish, one male and two females. The one imprisoned by Guzheng is the female, and the remaining two can still stay in the pond to reproduce their offspring.
The water flow formed a vortex and enveloped the dragon fish, and the immortal essence in the air also poured into the vortex. Controlled by Gu Zheng's water control technique, it continuously entered the body of the dragon fish and transformed its flesh.
.
The dragon fish looks somewhat similar to the golden dragon fish. Under the influence of Gu Zheng's water control technique, as time goes by, its scales become more and more golden, and its two beards become thicker and longer.
Although in a short period of time, Guzheng was able to turn the nearly full-year-old dragon fish into high-quality ingredients, this process also took a full hour.
In the evening, Jixiang Xiaozhu gathered for dinner again. Gu Zheng first cooked three dishes and a soup, and then began to prepare the last dish.
"Meow meow, what flavor of dragon fish do you want to eat?"
The dragontail fish was specially ordered by Miao Miao. Gu Zheng attached great importance to this dish. He wanted to satisfy Miao Miao's taste while ensuring the taste.
"When I first met Mr., I ate Mr.'s barbecue. The spicy taste made me miss it very much!" Miao Miao said with a smile.
"good."
Gu Zheng smiled and pinched Miaomiao's nose. How could this stinky girl be eating for free at that time? She was just a bully. Gu Zheng was scared to death.
Most of the time when Gu Zheng cooks, he emphasizes the flavor of the ingredients and uses relatively few spices.
In the past, he used less spices because there were no decent-grade spices. He gradually developed a habit, so that he later collected a lot of second-grade or ordinary spices. He was making food for himself.
When the time came, it was still used very little.
Now that the Xianchu restaurant has been opened, in order to cater to the tastes of customers, more spices are used. Moreover, the opening of the Xianchu restaurant during this period has also improved the grade of Gu Zheng's spices. He got some from ancient visitors,
I found a lot of medium-grade spices.
"Sir, do you want my help with this fish?"
After knowing that the quality of the ingredients of the dragon fish was excellent, Lian Yuxin felt like drooling even when she looked at the living dragon fish. The rich fantasies in her mind could not stop at all. She thought that this fish could
What a delicacy it turned into in the hands of Gu Zheng.
"No need." Gu Zheng said.
The bearded fish is different from ordinary fish. It is full of treasures and needs to be handled with great care. Even Yu Xin cannot do this job.
At this time, the dragon fish was placed in a water tank. Gu Zheng put some salt in the water tank, and then used the water control technique to make the water in the tank rotate. His purpose of doing this was to use
Salt cleans the small amount of mucus between the scales of the dragon fish.
After a while, the mucus between the scales of the dragon fish had been removed, and Gu Zheng quickly gutted the still alive fish.
Generally, when cooking fish in Jixiang Xiaozhu, fish offal is not used. This does not mean that fish offal cannot be eaten, but Gu Zheng does not want to deal with the trouble, so the fish dishes on the menu are marked as having no offal.
In fact, the fish that can be found on the menu of Jixiang Xiaozhu have internal organs that at least look like fish maw or fish roe. It is not troublesome to handle and the taste is very delicious. After all, their ingredients are not low-grade, but Gu Zheng is too lazy to get them.
.
The dragon fish he is going to make this time is different. Even if its ingredient level is only medium, Gu Zheng will take the time to process its internal organs and the like. After all, its whole body is a treasure, and the internal organs taste equally delicious.
!What's more, the food grade of this dragon's whisker fish now has reached the excellent level.
The plump fish roe and white swim bladder were left behind by Gu Zheng, and even the fish scales and fish intestines were left behind by Gu Zheng.
Clean the fish with its internal organs removed, cut off the 'beards', cut it with a knife, then apply salt and spices on the fish body and marinate it.
While the fish was being marinated, Gu Zheng began to clean the internal organs of the dragon fish.
The fish scales have been washed and do not need to be cleaned again. As for the 'dragon whiskers', just cut them into sections.
The swim bladder was full of air, so Gu Zheng cut it open, washed it, and put it aside.
Since it is almost time for the dragon fish to spawn, the roe of a six-pound dragon fish weighs two pounds! Gu Zheng washed the fish roe that was still wrapped in the film and put it aside for the time being.
.
Fish intestines are more troublesome to deal with. Although the fish intestines grow in the primitive space and usually eat immortality, there is no dirt in the fish intestines. However, Gu Zheng still cut the fish intestines open and I rinsed them carefully.
Put the rinsed fish intestines and washed fish maw into the vinegar together, use the water control tool to control it, and rub and wash it carefully.
There is a deep connection between wine and vinegar. In ancient times, fairy wine was brewed, and fairy vinegar was naturally brewed. Rubbing fish intestines and swim bladders with fairy vinegar can not only remove the fishy smell, but also enhance the crispy taste of both.
The fish intestines and swim bladders washed with fairy vinegar, one pink and tender, the other white, were put aside first. Gu Zheng added some fairy wine and onion and ginger to the basin with fish roe, and then steamed them in a cage.
Got up.
In order to remove the fishy smell from the fish roe and make them more flavorful, the water control operation is naturally indispensable during the steaming process.
"What an attractive wine-flavored fish roe, I really want to eat it!"
Looking at the fish roe that Gu Zheng took out of the steamer, Lian Yuxin swallowed.
"Don't worry, there's enough for you this time!"
Gu Zheng glanced at Lian Yuxin helplessly. He thought that after working at Xianchu Restaurant for a period of time, her determination would become stronger, but she never thought that she would be worse than before.
As if she knew what Gu Zheng was thinking, Lian Yuxin smiled at Gu Zheng and said, "It's not that I'm getting greedier, it's that the food made by the master is getting more and more delicious!"
Gu Zheng sliced the steamed fish roe, then put a layer of egg liquid and flour on the pan, deep-fried it in an oil pan until golden brown. Then add water to the clay pot, and mix several ingredients that can be used to make 'fairy mushroom powder'
The mushrooms are put in together with the fried fish roe flakes.
Under the stimulation of the Fire Control Technique, the water in the clay pot boiled quickly. Gu Zheng put away the Fire Control Technique and used a low fire to simmer slowly.
Put the fish scales into the onion and ginger water and cook until they are halfway cooked, then take them out and set them aside.
"Okay! It feels like it's been a while since the master handled the ingredients in such a complicated way!"
Gu Zheng has taken a lot of steps, but it still seems that there is still a long way to go before the completion of this dragon-bearded fish, which makes Lian Yuxin couldn't help but sigh.
"What, are you a little impatient to wait?" Gu Zheng asked.
"A bit, I'm already hungry!" Lian Yuxin said with a wry smile.
"Go out!"
Gu Zheng laughed and scolded and started grilling the fish.
The fish has been marinated in advance, which saves Gu Zheng a lot of time when grilling.
In the past, the firewood or charcoal used to grill fish in Guzheng is now available. The wood used to grill fish in Guzheng is all the fruit firewood produced on Wufeng Island, and the majority of it is Wufeng apricot wood. This kind of fruit firewood is used for grilling.
The meat that comes out has a special aroma of apricot, which also makes the original barbecue more layered in taste.
The fire control trick is activated, the grilled fish sizzles on the grill, and the delicious fish aroma begins to spread.
Miaomiao missed the spicy taste she had at the beginning, so Gu Zheng specially prepared a little spicy barbecue sauce for her. After brushing it on the asparagus, the slightly sweet and spicy aroma mixed with the aroma of fish aroused appetite.
Originally, Miaomiao wanted to come and help with the cooking, but Gu Zheng refused to let her go. She was a big contributor today, so Gu Zheng just let her rest and just wait to eat.
“Smells so good!”
Meow Meow couldn't help but come over to take a peek, smelling the meaty aroma of Gu Zheng's grilled fish, her eyes filled with intoxication.
"The fish is not yet cooked yet, and all the aroma has not been forced out yet!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Sir, why do I feel that this spicy smell is like the one I first smelled, but it smells better and slightly different than that smell? This is because my husband's cooking skills have improved.
Or is it because of other auxiliary ingredients?" Miaomiao asked curiously.
"It's because of the improvement of my cooking skills, and also because of some auxiliary ingredients, but the main reason is that the quality of the main ingredients that produce spiciness has improved. When I first met you, I used soft vine peppers picked in the mountains for barbecue.
It tastes good, but the quality of the ingredients is only second-rate. The soft vine peppers used for grilled fish now come from ancient times, and the quality of the ingredients has reached medium, so the taste is naturally more prominent and charming." Gu Zheng said.
.
The fish's meat is fresh and tender, and with Gu Zheng's perfect control over the heat, it was grilled quickly.
Spread a layer of thin slices of 'Emerald Lotus Root', a specialty of the ancient times, on the plate. Gu Zheng placed the grilled fish on top of the lotus root slices, and then covered the plate with a lid.
Heat the oil in a pot, add the onions and ginger until the aroma is released, then add the cut fish intestines, 'dragon whiskers' and fish maw slices into it and stir-fry.
"smell good!"
Lian Yuxin's eyes widened.
"Have you ever eaten fish intestines and swim bladder before?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I ate it when I was a child thousands of years ago. It tasted terrible!" Lian Yu thought to himself.
"The fish intestines and swim bladder you are going to eat today will definitely taste great."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, poured some fairy wine into the pot, stir-fried the fish offal in the pot a few times, then added the fish scales and fried over high heat for another minute.
"Gurgling..."
The soup that was simmering in the clay pot over low heat had reached the right time. Gu Zheng took it away from the fire, took only the milky white broth and fish roe flakes, and poured it into the fragrant fish offal that was fried in the pot.
Put the lid on the pot, activate the Guzheng Fire Control Technique, and use the Water Control Technique at the same time. You can only hear the sound of "Gurgling" in the pot. While the fragrance fills the air, the white mist has gathered on the pot and become more and more intense.
.
"Wow, sir, when grilling fish, there has never been so much mist that can change the shape of the fish!" Miao Miao exclaimed.
"First of all, the fish offal from the asparagus is no worse than the fish meat. Secondly, grilling the fish is not the final step, so I didn't fully force out the aroma while grilling!" Gu Zheng
