Gu Zheng looked at Jia Si: "I will handle the ingredients!"
For this finale dish, Gu Zheng also attaches great importance to it. Although handling the Kunlun Snow Bear is a dirty job, because of this, if it is not handled carefully, it is likely to have an impact on the overall ingredients. After all, this is not
A fresh ingredient, the Kunlun Snow Bear, which has been frozen for thousands of years, requires more professional methods to handle.
After answering Jia Si's question, Gu Zheng looked at Du Wei and said, "As for you asking me how to make this finale dish, I think a roasted whole bear is the best one!"
"Huh? Roast a whole bear?"
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Jia Si and others all opened their eyes wide.
Many things are easy for cultivators, but this is roasting a whole bear, not a whole pig. This is roasting a big guy weighing one ton!
"Yes, roasted whole bear!"
Gu Zheng's affirmation made Jia Si and others believe that he was really not joking.
Ignoring the surprise of Jia Si and others, Gu Zheng began to take care of the Kunlun Snow Bear.
After the Kunlun Snow Bear was killed by the Kunlun sect, it was immediately frozen and sealed with immortal magic. Today, the Kunlun Snow Bear is still in a huge ice block.
The Kunlun Snow Bear is not just for poetry. Its meat can be used to make elixirs and its bones can be used to make weapons. Otherwise, Kunlun would not have sealed it for thousands of years just for a little food.
For Gu Zheng, the Kunlun Snow Bear is a medium-sized ingredient that weighs a thousand pounds. The Kunlun School can contribute a whole Kunlun Snow Bear as the finale of the dinner party, which can be said to be a big deal.
This time Gu Zheng was cooking the finale, and not many people were watching. The Righteous Alliance specially prepared a temporary kitchen for him.
Gu Zheng first took out the fairy kitchen utensils, and then enlarged the pot until it was big enough to easily hold the Kunlun Snow Bear.
The enlarged pot was placed on the specially built stove. After Gu Zheng put water in the pot, he started to light the fire to boil the water.
The 'natural water' in his body was shaking, and Gu Zheng pointed his finger on the ice surrounding the Kunlun Snow Bear.
"Click..."
The use of the Water Control Technique caused the ice cubes surrounding the Kunlun Snow Bear to crack and instantly turn into broken ice all over the ground.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the Kunlun Snow Bear, no longer wrapped in ice, flew into the pot.
The Fire Control Technique was activated, and the water temperature in the pot became higher and higher, and mist began to steam from the Kunlun Snow Bear. Gu Zheng did this not to cook the Kunlun Snow Bear, but to let the Kunlun Snow Bear warm up first.
, and remove its hair when the water temperature is appropriate.
Under the influence of the magic, Kunlun Snow Bear's stiff body quickly softened, and the water temperature reached a suitable level.
Gu Zheng used the Water Control Technique, and the water in the pot immediately began to rotate. The Kunlun Snow Bear, which was originally covered in thick white fur, immediately began to rotate with the water flow, and the white fur on its body also continued to detach as it rotated.
After a while, not a single hair could be found on the Kunlun Snow Bear's body.
The Kunlun Snow Bear was taken out of the pot and Gu Zheng washed and skinned it.
The Kunlun Snow Bear looked very clean after being skinned. After a flash of knife light in Gu Zheng's hand, all the bones in its body were removed.
Sprinkling the prepared seasoning on the Kunlun Snow Bear's meat, Gu Zheng kneaded the meat in all directions. In addition to making the meat more flavorful, Gu Zheng also used his magical power to knead the meat.
The meat tendons are loosened to enhance the taste after cooking.
The cleaned pot was put back on the fire, and Gu Zheng placed a special cage on it.
Although this final dish is grilled at the end, the Kunlun Snow Bear must be steamed before being grilled.
Putting the Kunlun Snow Bear into the cage, Gu Zheng did not deliberately activate the fire, but slowly steamed it with the charcoal fire. It was still night, and there was still some time before tomorrow's lunch party, so it would be too early to get it out.
not good.
Letting the Kunlun Snow Bear steam first, Gu Zheng went to the next room. Most of the chefs there were busy preparing ingredients. Gu Zheng gave them answers to what they didn't understand.
That night, Gu Zheng did not return to the residence of the Red Tianluo Sect. He stayed in the temporary kitchen to practice, and looked after the fire from time to time.
The next morning.
Xiahou Shan, who had been away from Blood Tide Island for a while, came back. When he learned from Lin Yucheng and others what had happened in the past two days, he was silent for a while.
In the end, Xiahou Shan decided to let the matter go for now and wait until after the Ghost Festival.
There are still two hours before lunch starts at noon, and the kitchen where the chefs are located is already a busy scene, and some dishes that take a long time are already in the process of cooking.
“It smells so good!”
Ouyang Hai pushed the door open and entered the kitchen where Gu Zheng was, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The whole kitchen was filled with aroma, which was an appetizing meat aroma, coupled with an elegant floral aroma, and the two aromas were blended together without any conflict.
"What's wrong, Master?" Ouyang Hai asked, looking at the huge steamer.
"The Kunlun Snow Bear is now six-mature and needs to be steamed for a while before it meets the roasting standard."
Although it has been steamed overnight, the Kunlun Snow Bear is a spiritual beast after all, and it is such a big one. Although its meat is delicious, it is not so easy to cook.
"It has such a fragrance when it is only six years old. People are really looking forward to what it will be like after it is made!" Ouyang Haidao said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you want to eat it again!”
Gu Zheng smiled and started to turn on the fire. The roasting process was still very time-consuming, so it was time to speed up the process.
The fire became stronger and the Kunlun Snow Bear quickly reached the 60% cooked level that Gu Zheng wanted.
Although the Kunlun Snow Bear is already 60% cooked, this is only for its meat. The skin and tendons, which are relatively difficult to cook, are less than 50% cooked.
Gu Zheng raised his hand, and when he lowered it again, the 'nail board' transformed from the immortal power pierced many fine holes on the Kunlun Snow Bear's skin, and then he passed the Kunlun Snow Bear through the ice.
water.
The alternation of hot and cold conditions causes the Kunlun Snow Bear's steamed skin and meat to shrink, allowing excess oil to initially seep out, making it easier to bake later.
After taking the Kunlun Snow Bear out of the ice water, Gu Zheng used his magical power to evaporate the excess water on it, and then fixed it on a special grill.
After brushing the prepared barbecue sauce on the Kunlun Snow Bear, Gu Zheng began to prepare for grilling.
Gu Zheng's set of immortal tools includes an oven, but this oven has never roasted something as big as the Kunlun Snow Bear since Gu Zheng took over.
With a thought, the originally small oven turned into a giant. Gu Zheng put a lot of charcoal in the stove, and then used the fire control technique to activate it. The charcoal quickly turned red and reached the burning level he wanted.
.
The charcoal fire was ready, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the Kunlun Snow Bear flew into the oven. With a thought, he moved again, and the place on the oven that should be closed was closed, and the Kunlun Snow Bear was now in a sealed barbecue space.
Nothing could be seen from the outside, but Gu Zheng, the owner of this fairy weapon, still knew what was going on inside the oven at a glance.
Under the high temperature, the Kunlun Snow Bear was sizzling and producing oil, and the control of the Fire Control Technique also allowed the Kunlun Snow Bear to be roasted with moderate heat.
The barbecue juice has entered the Kunlun Snow Bear's meat, and has a wonderful blend with the bear meat, constantly enhancing its delicious flavor. During the grilling process, Gu Zheng can also control the fire for some imperfections.
Jue and water control techniques to control and repair it.
As time passed, it was noon before we knew it, and the dishes prepared by the chefs were brought out one after another.
Today is a dinner party, and it is impossible to serve the dishes first for the guests to eat, like cooking in Jixiang Xiaozhu, and then serve the final dish when they are almost finished.
The finale will be the last dish, but it cannot be too late than the last dish of the chefs. After all, Gu Zheng is also a very important person in the Righteous Alliance. The dinner party will not really begin until he arrives! So, let others
Waiting too long is not good either.
The Kunlun Snow Bear has been roasted to a certain extent. At this time, it no longer needs Gu Zheng's constant care, and Gu Zheng can free up his hands to prepare a soup.
Although the final dish is only roasted whole bear, those Buddhists led by Master Xinjing do not like meat, so Gu Zheng planned to make a separate soup for them.
Gu Zheng was already making this soup for the Buddhist people last night.
After taking out the tofu that had been soaked in the water overnight, Gu Zheng quickly lifted the kitchen knife in his hand, and the sound of the knife sounded evenly.
The tofu is made from fairy soybeans produced in Wufeng Island. After being greatly improved by Gu Zheng's Wood Control Technique, the tofu is soaked in the prepared water overnight. It can be said that the tofu at this time is
Even when eaten raw, it tastes extremely delicious!
After cutting the tofu, Gu Zheng cut the cooked purple bujiantian into thin strips, and cut the blanched green jade fairy radish and red jade fairy radish into thin strips.
"Here, let's get some soup!"
Gu Zheng shouted outside, and the person responsible for passing the dishes immediately entered the kitchen.
After putting some purple invisible tencel, sapphire fairy rose and red jade fairy rose into the soup basin, Gu Zheng put a few pieces of tofu with almost no cut marks on the outside into the soup basin.
On the fire beside was a pot of mountain delicacies soup that had been stewed overnight. When Gu Zheng opened the lid of the pot, the fragrance of mountain delicacies hit his face.
Gu Zheng scooped up a spoonful of clear soup and poured it into the soup basin with the ingredients. Suddenly a bright scene appeared.
With the impact of the soup, the originally invisible tofu turned into shredded tofu, mixed with purple invisible tencel, sapphire fairy rose and red jade fairy rose, like a flower with orderly intervals of colors.
Generally, the delicate flowers bloom in the soup basin.
After closing the lid of the soup basin, Gu Zheng handed the soup basin to the first person to pass the dishes, and then prepared the second basin of soup.
The Buddhists sat at four tables in total. After sending the four pots of soup out of the kitchen, Gu Zheng made three bowls of soup with the remaining ingredients and distributed them to Ouyang Hai, Jia Si and Du Weisan in the kitchen.
people.
"Master, don't you want to drink it?" Ouyang Hai asked, holding the soup.
"No, you have never tasted this soup. When I was at Jixiang Xiaozhu, I often made it and drank it."
While talking, Gu Zheng came to the oven again and used his magic to take care of the Kunlun Snow Bear which was still being roasted.
"Master, what's the name of this soup?"
Looking at the bowl of soup blooming like flowers in his hand, Du Wei couldn't bear to take a bite.
"It's called 'Four Colored Tofu Soup'." Gu Zheng said.
"Good name!"
Du Wei sighed in admiration, then picked up the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup' and took a sip.
"Um……"
After taking a sip of soup, Du Wei opened his eyes wide and made a rather unexpected sound.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I thought the tofu in this soup would be very slippery, but I didn't expect it to be so slippery. As soon as I drank it, it slipped into my stomach!" Du Wei said.
"How does it taste?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The taste is very good! Although the tofu has not been chewed, the flavor of the tofu is released as soon as it is eaten. It is very delicious!"
After Du Wei finished speaking, he was careful when he drank the soup for the second time, for fear that the tofu shreds in it would accidentally enter his stomach.
This time Du Wei drank slowly, and the soup in his mouth was no longer just shredded tofu.
“It tastes great and delicious!”
When the second mouthful of soup entered his stomach, Du Wei said with emotion. When shredded tofu, purple silk, sapphire fairy rose and red jade fairy rose are chewed together in the mouth, it feels smooth, tender and crispy.
The fresh and fragrant taste is not to mention how memorable it is.
After Du Wei and others finished drinking the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup', the Kunlun Snow Bear meat in the oven was already cooked to the point of being cooked.
With a thought in Gu Zheng's mind, the lid of the oven opened automatically.
In an instant, the fragrance of the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup' that was still filling the air was immediately diluted! At the same time, Du Wei and the other two made deep sniffing sounds.
"Gudong!"
Jia Si, who had just drank the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup', swallowed hard.
"Master, is the roasted whole bear ready?" Jia Si asked impatiently.
"Not yet, there is one last step!"
The Kunlun Snow Bear had already flown out of the oven and settled in mid-air. Gu Zheng flew up and dipped his brush into the bowl of queen bee nectar, smearing its surface.
"The color is golden, looks appetizing, and smells so delicious, it makes people drool!"
It is much harder to make Ouyang Hai say words that make him drool than to actually drool.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything, he just smiled slightly, let the Kunlun Snow Bear fly into the oven, then closed the lid and continued baking.
The honey brushed on the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear makes the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear change from golden yellow to a more appetizing maroon during the baking process.
Shen Nian was always paying attention to the kitchen next door. Seeing that the last dish of the chefs there had been cooked, Gu Zheng stepped up and started the charcoal fire.
After a minute, Gu Zheng opened the lid of the oven.
"Um……"
As soon as the lid was opened, Jia Si and Ouyang Hai took a deep sniff at the same time and made amazing sounds at the same time.
If the last time the furnace was opened, the fragrance of the meat of Kunlun Snow Bear was only '8', then when it comes out of the oven now, its fragrance has reached '10', reaching its peak! The fragrance in the air has reached even the ancient times.
If you hear about it, you will feel hungry.
"This layer of honey not only makes the color more beautiful, but also makes the fragrance more charming! This sweet smell blends with the aroma of barbecue, which not only makes people not feel disgusted at all, but also makes people want to
Gonna taste it!”
Ouyang Hai sighed while placing plates on the chopping board. Although the bear Gu Zheng roasted was a whole bear, it still had to be cut into pieces when serving it, because everyone sat at several tables, so naturally there must be something on each table.
Only the portion is enough.
"Kacha..."
When Gu Zheng dropped the knife, the Kunlun Snow Bear's skin made a strange sound, as if it was extremely crispy.
The whole Kunlun Snow Bear was quickly cut into pieces and plated under Gu Zheng's knife, and plate after plate was served to the dinner table.
When Gu Zheng walked towards the dinner place, he could hear the sound of swallowing saliva in the distance.
"Thank you, Master Gu!"
Seeing Gu Zheng coming, almost everyone stood up. If Gu Zheng didn't come, everyone wouldn't be able to eat, which was really a torture for them.
"Master Gu, the finale this time is awesome!"
"Just smelling it makes people salivate!"
"The color looks really beautiful! The crystal-clear maroon skin and the white and tender barbecue are so delicious that you can’t wait to eat them!"
Facing the praise from everyone, Gu Zheng smiled and clasped his fists, and finally sat down with Master Yufeng and the others.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Master Yufeng stood up, and everyone's discussion also stopped.
"According to convention, since this meal is a gathering for the battle between good and evil during the Ghost Festival, you must say something before you use your chopsticks."
Master Yufeng paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Actually, everyone knows that the words you have to say before using the chopsticks are nothing more than some words to encourage everyone! Today we are not going to take the usual path, so I won't say any more unnecessary words.
, the only thing I want to tell you is..."
Master Yufeng's long voice stopped, and after his majestic eyes swept around, he spoke very seriously: "In order to still be able to enjoy the delicious food made by the ancient master, in order to be able to protect myself, I want to protect myself."
I also want to see everyone here at the dinner party after the Ghost Festival!"
"good!"
Everyone responded in unison, and their blood was aroused by Master Yufeng's simple words.
However, as Master Yufeng said, "Let's eat," the previous feeling of blood boiling seemed to dissipate instantly. Everyone moved their chopsticks in unison and went straight to the roasted bear meat placed in the center of the dining table.
"Why!"
Seeing everyone devouring their food, Master Yufeng shook his head and sighed.
However, when Master Yufeng lowered his head and saw the delicious food on the plate, because his emotion had disappeared a little, he immediately seemed to have changed. He quickly picked up a piece of roasted bear meat and put it into his mouth. It was delicious.
Start chewing! It seems that all the feelings you had at the previous moment disappeared under the impact of delicious food.
“It’s delicious, it tastes amazing!”
"Master Gu, that's great!"
"I also ate the Kunlun Snow Bear many years ago, and it was also roasted bear meat! However, the taste is completely different compared to the one made by the ancient master!"
After the people at the same table tasted the roasted bear meat, they all reported their feelings to Gu Zheng.
In fact, Master Yufeng was not the last person to use chopsticks at this table. Gu Zheng, the cook, had just finished a glass of immortal wine and finally picked up his chopsticks and reached for the roasted bear meat.
The burgundy crystal skin of the roasted bear meat looks very beautiful, as if there is a layer of cooled sugar syrup hanging on it. This layer of sugar syrup is actually extracted from the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear through the nectar of the queen bee flower.
