"Master, this Master Wu Nian is so stingy! There are twelve people attending the banquet today, but he only ordered four dishes and one soup. Although the four dishes and one soup are double portions, it is not enough!"
On the way back to the cave, Butterfly Spirit sent a message to Gu Zheng.
Die Ling's voice transmission made Gu Zheng couldn't help but smile: "Actually, the four dishes and one soup ordered by Master Wu Nian are enough to eat. After all, one of the four dishes and one soup is a big dish."
"Big dish?" Die Ling was full of curiosity.
"Yes, the name of the dish Master Wu Nian ordered is 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Fillet'. In this dish, the main ingredient 'Xue Tai Sui' is an excellent grade ingredient, but if the ingredient 'Xue Tai Sui' is to be of excellent quality
According to the grade standard, the weight must be more than fifty kilograms. This 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' is a double portion, which means that the Xue Tai Sui in this dish alone weighs over a hundred kilograms!" said Gu Zheng
.
"Okay, it's not that there's not enough food, it's that I might not be able to finish it all!" Die Ling stuck out her tongue and said.
"It's impossible that they can't finish the food. Even if they eat all the food I cook, I guarantee there won't even be soup left!" Gu Zheng said confidently.
Although the four dishes and one soup ordered by Master Wu Nian are double portions, apart from the 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' which is more time-consuming to make, the other three dishes are not troublesome to make. Gu Zheng plans to cook them first.
Make this great dish.
Tai Sui ingredients are not uncommon in ancient times, and Gu Zheng has collected quite a few of them. Among the Tai Sui ingredients he has collected, Xue Tai Sui is one of the few that tastes better.
Generally speaking, even if the grade of the ingredients has reached the high-quality level, Taisui ingredients still have a light bitter taste, which is its nature. However, the taste of Xuetai Sui is not bitter, on the contrary, it has a sweet taste!
However, there is another difference between Xuetai Sui and other Tai Sui, that is, it is inherently toxic!
The toxicity of Xuetai Sui has no effect on the immortal cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm, but if it is not handled well, the final taste will be somewhat compromised. Moreover, the toxicity in Xuetai Sui is not easy to remove, and there is usually only one grade.
Only a fairy chef can cook Xuetai Sui perfectly.
In Gu Zheng's view, Master Wu Nian ordered the 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Fillet' with the intention of considering his cooking skills.
Under normal circumstances, to remove the toxicity in snow tai sui, fairy chefs will stew it with sage and sage. This method is very effective, but how much of the toxicity can be removed depends on the fairy
The chef's cooking skills are impressive. However, this method is not the most superior. After all, cooking Tai Sui with 'sage grass' will also have some bad effects on the quality of Tai Sui's meat.
Gu Zheng has the eye of Tao, which is something that most first-grade immortal chefs do not possess. Otherwise, Lu Piaoxiang, who was also an immortal chef at the time, would not have been so shocked when she found out that he had the eye of Tao. Yes.
Compared with ordinary immortal chefs, the starting point of Tao Eye's Immortal Chef is different.
The Xuetai Sui that Gu Zheng is going to make today is roughly like a dumpling. Gu Zheng first cleans the Xuetai Sui, and then uses a kitchen knife to make the Xuetai Sui shape.
The scene of the hanging mountain is carved out.
Pour water into the pot, add the spices and salt prepared previously, and Gu Zheng directly puts the carved snow Tai Sui into the pot and stew.
As the water temperature rises, under the action of the Water Control Jue, spices and salt enter the snow Tai Sui to make it taste better. At the same time, under the action of the Guzheng Water Control Jue, toxins that cannot be seen by ordinary people's eyes are condensed in it.
It flowed out of Xuetai Sui together, and finally he scooped it out of the pot with a spoon.
Without the presence of toxins, the Xue Taisui in the pot exuded a fragrance like a fungus. Gu Zheng collected the Water Control Technique and the Fire Control Technique and let Xue Taisui simmer slowly in the pot, and he began to process the beef tenderloin.
.
Beef tenderloin is the tenderloin of immortal beef. The meat is very beautiful and cut into strips. It is wrapped in egg liquid and immortal noodles.
Put oil in the pot. After the oil temperature is right, fry the beef tenderloin and take it out.
Mash the paprika into a paste, heat a small amount of oil in a pot, and pour the paste into it.
Along with the "sizzling" sound coming from the pot, a spicy aroma suddenly filled the air.
"Hoo ho!"
The butterfly spirit on the side couldn't help but twitching its nose.
"Does this smell feel fresh?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, I have never smelled such a smell before. It feels very special and makes people want to swallow their saliva!" Butterfly Spirit breathed in the smell in the air greedily.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and without saying anything else, he took out a 'Weixiang Fruit'.
The golden-colored fragrant fruit is a high-quality ingredient. This berry is very peculiar. Its taste is not sweet, but slightly salty with a wonderful fragrance.
Just like beating eggs, Gu Zheng squeezed all the juice of the fragrant fruit into the stir-fried Neptune pepper. Suddenly, a wonderful fresh fragrance mixed with spicy fragrance rose up. The smell was so good that Gu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.
tone.
When the juice of the fragrant fruit enters the pot, it is like thickening the minced sea emperor pepper, making the soup thicker.
Gu Zheng put the fried beef tenderloin into the pot and simmered it. The aroma of the beef combined with the spicy and spicy aroma made the butterfly spirit beside him salivate.
The time was calculated very well. When the beef tenderloin was cooked just right, the snow taisui that was cooking on the side was also ready to be taken out of the pot.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and Xue Taisui flew into the steamer on the side.
Fortunately, the Xianqi kitchen utensils can be changed in size, otherwise it would be really difficult to put the hundred kilograms of Xue Taisui inside.
Xue Tai Sui was carved by ancient people like a clay pot. This is not just an appearance, but there is real space inside.
The 'lid' of the 'Xue Tai Sui Pot' flew up. Gu Zheng poured the stewed beef tenderloin into it, then covered the 'lid' and the cage lid. Using the fire control technique, he steamed the Xue Tai Sui in the cage.
stand up.
The steaming process does not require too much control from Gu Zheng's Five Elements Immortal Technique. After a while, Gu Zheng, who had his hands free, began to cook the soup again. And this soup is made from beef brewed in 'Xue Tai Sui'
Pouring the willow' on it before serving it can be regarded as the last step of this big dish.
"Master, I'm hungry!"
Die Ling couldn't bear it anymore, she looked at Gu Zheng pitifully.
Gu Zheng understood that Die Ling's hunger at this moment was not the hunger she had when she was growing up, but just her greed stimulated by the smell of food.
"Well, let me satisfy your craving for the next dish first!"
Gu Zheng let the soup of 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' slowly simmer on the fire, and then he started to prepare the second dish.
The name of the second dish is ‘Sauteed Crispy Bones’, and this dish is relatively simple to make.
The crispy bones used in 'Sauteed Crispy Bones' are the crispy bones of fairy beef. This ancient man had already put some fairy beef, fairy beef bones and other things aside to stew before preparing to make 'Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Fillet'.
Already.
The Fire Control Technique and the Water Control Technique worked at the same time, and the beef and beef bones simmered in the pot immediately emitted a richer aroma than before.
In less than a minute, Gu Zheng stopped controlling the Five Elements Immortal Technique, took out the crispy bones of the immortal ox that were as white as jade from the pot, and cut them into long strips of the same length.
The steps of the ‘Crackling Crispy Bones’ dish are not complicated. The key is to make the crispy bones with a tight texture and flavor during the cooking process, which tests your cooking skills.
The second thing is that the oil used in the dish 'Sauteed Crispy Bones' is not ordinary sesame oil, but a special kind of rapeseed oil. This rapeseed oil has a cumin-like aroma, which makes it stir-fried with crispy bones.
It needs to be cooked first! If it is cooked well, this dish will be a lot more outstanding. If it is not cooked well and the cumin-like aroma cannot be fully forced out, then it will naturally be inferior.
Gu Zheng begins to boil the oil. For ordinary chefs, it is necessary to adjust the heat through the smell so that the crispy bones can be put in at the most appropriate time! The step of boiling the oil can be said to be done carefully by ordinary chefs. After all, the temperature of the oil affects
The scent of cumin in the oil, the moment this scent reaches its peak, is fleeting and fleeting.
For Gu Zheng, everything is so simple. The Eye of the Tao allows the oil to be displayed 'digitally' in his eyes. He does not need to smell the smell, but only uses his naked eyes to know what kind of heat will make it appear just right.
The subtle changes in the oil let Gu Zheng know that the best time had arrived. He put the cut crispy bones into the oil and stir-fried until the white crispy bones turned slightly yellow before taking them out of the pan.
After serving a small portion to Die Ling, Gu Zheng immediately started preparing the next dish.
"Hey, it's time to eat!"
Die Ling smiled at Gu Zheng, picked up a piece of brittle bone and put it into his mouth eagerly.
"Crunch!"
A crisp sound came out of Butterfly Spirit's mouth, and a scent like cumin, mixed with a special bone fragrance, filled the air from her mouth.
“It’s delicious! Crispy and fragrant, it’s so delicious!”
Die Ling ate so happily that her eyes narrowed into crescents when she smiled.
In the square in front of Master Wu Nian's door, the table has been set and the fairy wine has been placed. Except for Gu Zheng, the other nine people have already taken their seats.
The rest of the people were not left waiting for too long. With the arrival of Gu Zheng, the four dishes and one soup flying in the air landed smoothly on the table.
"Smells, it smells so good!"
"How long has it been since you tasted the delicious food made by Xianchu?"
"I don't know how long it's been since you've eaten. Anyway, I haven't eaten for three hundred years."
"The carvings on the snow Tai Sui are actually the scenery on our Xuankong Mountain. Fellow Taoist Bai is really thoughtful!"
As soon as the dishes were served, everyone sighed with emotion and smelled the tempting aroma with intoxicated faces.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Bai. Please sit down quickly!" Master Wu Nian said.
After Gu Zheng took his seat, Master Wu Nian first introduced Gu Zheng.
Except for Master Wu Nian, Master Duan, Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang, the other five people are all monks. However, these monks are not all from the same temple. After all, Hanging Mountain belongs to Buddhism, not to which temple it belongs to.
all.
They already knew each other, and Master Wu Nian spoke again: "The main purpose of holding a banquet today is to entertain Master Duan and thank Master Duan for the immortal weapon he refined for my senior brother!"
Master Wu Nian raised his glass to Master Duan, the two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Although Master Wu Nian is a member of the Buddhist sect, in the ancient times, Buddhists did not have any explicit prohibitions on immortal wine or even the food cooked by the immortal kitchen. Except for the ascetic monks, the rest of the people did not care about these things.
Taboo. After all, these things also contain good immortal essence.
"For the second glass of wine, I want to thank Fellow Taoist Bai! Because of this Immortal Kitchen Feast, Fellow Daoist, out of consideration for being a resident of Xuankong Mountain, waived all expenses other than the cost."
After Master Wu Nian clinked glasses with Gu Zheng, he also drank the whole drink in one gulp.
"Come, let's raise a toast together and wish us harmony and happiness!"
After everyone drank and clinked glasses of wine, Master Wu Nian spoke again: "Fellow Taoists, let's try Taoist Bai's cooking skills!"
Except for Gu Zheng, everyone was waiting for Master Wu Nian's words. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of chopsticks reached for the big dish 'Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin'.
Gu Zheng understood that just letting the "Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin" take on a very fragrant form was not enough for these people to recognize him as a first-class immortal chef. At this time, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to the "Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin" first.
, that is, I want to see from this dish whether he is a first-class chef.
'Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' looks like a pot on the surface, but in fact, this 'pot' is full of 'cracks'. These cracks are almost invisible from the surface, but in fact they divide the whole 'pot' into pieces. This is
When Gu Zheng first waved the kitchen knife, the effect had already been achieved! Therefore, at this moment, everyone only had to insert their chopsticks into the crack, and they could easily pick off a piece of Xuetai Sui's meat.
The meat of Xuetai Sui resembles that of shiitake mushrooms, but is crispier than that of shiitake mushrooms. It is even slightly elastic. When everyone puts Xuetai Sui meat into their mouths and chews it, in addition to the fragrant aroma, there are endless sounds of satisfaction.
.
"It's delicious! It's smooth and refreshing, with no bitter taste at all, just a spicy kick, and the most delicious taste that fills your lips and teeth!"
Master Duan was the first to start shaking his head after eating a piece of snow Tai Sui meat. Since the whole piece of Snow Tai Sui was covered with indiscernible cracks, the beef tenderloin soup brewed in Snow Tai Sui had also soaked into the Tai Sui meat, so Duan
When the master tasted it, he also experienced the spicy excitement.
"As expected of a first-class chef, I once tasted 'Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' a hundred years ago. The taste of Snow Taisui at that time was simply incomparable to what it is now, in terms of texture and delicious taste."
Master Wu Nian took a sip of snow and hurriedly extended his thumb to Guzheng, with a hint of reverence in his eyes that he had not seen before.
"Everyone, try it. How does the beef tenderloin taste?"
Gu Zheng smiled and moved his chopsticks. When his chopsticks touched the part of Xuetai Sui that was originally used as a 'clay pot', pieces flew up and were neatly stacked on the plate.
Gu Zheng didn't taste the beef tenderloin first. What he tasted first was the "steamed lid" part of the Xuetai Sui. This part was not soaked by the beef tenderloin soup and was relatively more original.
Like shiitake mushrooms, but with a bit of crunchiness, the Xuetai Sui meat slices release a different flavor as they are chewed in the mouth. The essential deliciousness of the ingredients also permeates Gu Zheng's mouth.
However, for someone like Gu Zheng who often tastes delicious food, although the taste of Xuetai Sui is delicious, it is not enough for him to have a high evaluation. After all, the quality of Xuetai Sui's own ingredients is only excellent.
Excellent-level ingredients can no longer make Gu Zheng feel amazing, but it is different for Master Wu Nian and others! For them, let alone excellent-level ingredients, even mid-level ingredients are supreme.
tasty.
Satisfied hums continued, and everyone had already tasted the beef tenderloin with full soup. The tender and spicy beef tenderloin, even though it was only a medium-level ingredient, made them feel like they couldn't stop eating! No.
People immediately commented that they only stretched out their chopsticks and picked up the beef tenderloin one after another, greedily experiencing the refreshing feeling between their lips and teeth.
"Cool!"
Master Duan was the first to speak out. He finally put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Gu Zheng.
"Master Bai, this glass of wine is for you, Duan!"
Saying "Master Bai" is already the highest praise and respect given to Gu Zheng by Master Duan, a master of weapon refinement.
"Wait a minute!"
Master Wu Nian also spoke, and everyone followed him and picked up the wine glasses.
"Let's toast Master Bai with this glass of wine! The poor monk no longer knows how to evaluate the taste of beef tenderloin, but it has undoubtedly conquered the poor monk's taste!"
"Yes, it's so delicious!"
“I’ve never had beef tenderloin that tasted so good!”
“The spicy flavor has the unique aroma of Xuetai Sui, and the texture is very tender but still chewy. It’s delicious!”
"Master Bai, you let me know the difference between a second-grade immortal chef and a first-grade immortal chef!"
"Come on, come on, cheers!"
Everyone was laughing and laughing, and after finishing a glass of wine, they all picked up their chopsticks.
What Gu Zheng told Die Ling before was right. There really was no leftovers from the dishes he cooked, including the soup. Although the diners' lowest cultivation level was already in the Golden Fairyland, they still had to eat more than a hundred kilograms of food in one meal.
It was a look of unfinished expression.
After the meal, everyone chatted for a while, Gu argued about the time to take food and repair, and finally decided on the evening.
When saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Zheng accepted a total of four orders, which were from Master Wu Nian, Gan Long, Ye Hongjiang and Master Duan respectively.
Except for Master Duan, the food repairs ordered by the other three people were relatively cheap. What they wanted was just the top-grade Zengyuan food repair. But the food repair that Master Duan wanted was more expensive, so he ordered a Yaxin food repair!
Although Gu Zheng had said before that when doing business again, you should charge whatever you want, but he still made some discounts for these four orders. He did not follow the standards of first-class immortal chefs outside, but only the standards of ordinary immortal chefs.
The charges are based on the store's standards. And the fact that he can make such a discount naturally makes Master Duan and others very grateful.
Gu Zheng does not need to worry about when the owner of the four business orders will take the food repair, so he only needs to make the four orders in the afternoon and hand the food repair to the person who customized them.
After returning to the cave, Gu Zheng first made four portions of food and gave them to Master Duan and the others.
Seeing Gu Zheng preparing to cook again, Die Ling said: "Master, what kind of food are you going to make for yourself?"
Gu Zheng now has heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as immortal ingredients. He can use heavenly materials and earthly treasures to make holy fruit food cultivation, and he can also use immortal resources to make alchemy food cultivation.
"Let's do Danyuan Food Cultivation!"
Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. The effect of the Danyuan Food Cultivation was definitely not as good as the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation, but the effect of the Holy Fruit Food Cultivation was too shocking. He had just come to Xuankong Mountain for a few days, and he really didn't want to make too much of a sensation.
