Chapter 5 Lantian Sun Warms Jade Rising Smoke (Part 2)
The waiter on the side heard that the ice hand dish was unpalatable and became impatient. He said angrily: "What are you doing? The food here only tastes like this. If you want to eat good food, you can go to Dachengxuan or Qingfengzhai in the city.
It’s delicious there, but I’m afraid you can’t afford it.”
Cha Ji glanced at her coldly and threw a gold coin casually, "Stop talking nonsense, take us to the kitchen, use only your ingredients, we will make a dish for ourselves, just a dish."
Looking at the shiny gold coin in his hand, the waiter's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, please, please." One gold coin can feed a banquet, and just one dish, even if it uses better ingredients, is absolutely delicious.
There is a lot of profit.
There is only a wall between the kitchen and the dining room. Although the kitchen cannot be said to be simple, Cha Ji couldn't help frowning when he saw the kitchen utensils that had obviously been used for a long time. There were only two chefs in the kitchen, and it was obvious that Zha Ji and Nian Bing had just eaten.
The stuff is what they do.
The waiter walked up to one of the chefs and whispered a few words in his ear. The chef frowned, glanced at Cha Ji curiously, and said impatiently: "Whatever, the ingredients are here, we are here too."
It’s time to relax, brother, let’s go and have a rest.” With that, he and another chef left the kitchen and went to the backyard to enjoy the cool air.
Cha Ji's eyes fell on Nian Bing, lowered his head and asked in his ear: "I will teach you how to make the first dish today. How long can your fire technique last?"
Nian Bing thought for a while and said: "If you only use the flame technique, it will be no problem for an hour."
"Okay, let's start now. Get an iron pan and clean it."
Nian Bing agreed. Although he didn't know what Chaji was going to do, he immediately took out an iron pot from the side and washed it immediately. In the process, Chaji had already walked to the place where the materials were placed. These materials had obviously been washed.
Clean, I took out some with my eyes and put it on the chopping board. Then I identified the smell of various spices on the kitchen bank.
"Cut vegetables, except tomatoes, into strips."
"Yes, Master." Nian Bing picked up a kitchen knife casually. As soon as he took the knife, his expression suddenly became focused. A year of hard training was not in vain. The feeling of man and knife uniting made him only eleven years old.
His eyes suddenly became sharp. In his eyes, the various materials were not much different from firewood, except that they were different in size. His chubby little hands brought the materials in front of him one by one, and the knife flashed, but the waiter did not see clearly at all.
How did Nian Bing take action? Whether it was potatoes, carrots or onions, they all turned into neat pieces. In just a few blinks, Nian Bing could easily complete it.
Cha Ji smiled slightly and handed an empty spice box to Nian Bing, "Spice is one of the very important components in cooking. This dish does not require high craftsmanship, so I leave it all to you.
Tomatoes, shrimps, and oysters are chopped into sauces respectively. Put them all in this seasoning box."
"Oh." Nian Bing agreed. Following Chaji's instructions, Nian Bing swung the knife into the air. The sound of the knife hitting the chopping board had a crisp rhythm. Chaji was not idle either, using another seasoning box to put different seasonings in.
Put it into it and mix it evenly. When Nian Bing finished his work, he had already done everything. He poured the prepared sauce into the sauce mixed with tomatoes, shrimps and oysters. He threw Nian Bing a pair of chopsticks.
, "Stir evenly."
After doing everything well, Cha Ji smiled slightly and said: "Now, it's time to officially start." He took a small brush and threw it to Nian Bing. His eyes showed concentration and his speaking speed suddenly increased, "One-third
Spread the sauce on the bottom, put the cut things on top, and brush one-third of the sauce on top."
Although Nian Bing was cooking for the first time, he was familiar with the work of these chefs and was familiar with it. Although he was a little unfamiliar, he completed everything quickly.
Chaji took a plate of sliced fish and put it in a pot with sauce, "Waiter, please go out first." He didn't want the waiter to find out that Nian Bing could do magic.
The waiter was stunned for a moment, "But..."
Zha Ji said impatiently: "Don't worry, we won't burn down the kitchen."
Because of the gold coin that Cha Ji had earlier, the waiter did not dare to say anything and had to exit the kitchen, leaving only Nian Bing and Cha Ji in the kitchen.
Cha Ji smiled slightly, "Brush the remaining sauce on top and heat the pan over the flame."
"Passionate fire element, I beg you, condense into the light of the flame and bring warmth to the world. Fire technique." The red flame lit up from Nian Bing's right hand, and he held the pot with his left hand, letting the flame burn in the center of the pot.
Chaji smiled slightly and said: "The temperature of your magic flame is higher than that of ordinary flames, and the heat is more even, so we can eat it faster. Remember the steps I just taught you, this is the simplest one."
The dish is called three-juice stuffed fish. Since the ingredients here are average, the taste may be a bit bad, but that’s okay.”
While maintaining the flame, Nian Bing said to Chaji: "Master, aren't you afraid of being imitated by the waiter just now?"
Zha Ji smiled slightly and said: "I made the combination of seasonings myself. I used more than ten kinds of them. Can she remember it? Besides, the amount of each seasoning is also very particular. It's not that easy to learn.
Easy. Keep your fire steady, and we can eat it after half a stick of incense at most. The key to this dish is the sauce. The so-called three juices are sauce, seafood juice and tomato juice, and then potatoes, carrots and
With the onion on the bottom, the three layers and three juices are delicious at the same time, plus the umami flavor of the fish itself, it can reflect the essence of this dish. As for the specific preparation method of the three juices, I will teach you in detail when I get back." As he said, he
He took out a pot lid from the side and put it on the iron pot.
Nian Bing used a low-level ice magic to protect his left hand from being burned by the hot pot. Under the burning of the flame, after a while, the fragrance gradually escaped from the iron pot and hit his nostrils.
Nian Bing couldn't help but swallow hard.
After half a stick of incense.
"It smells so good! What does it smell like?"
"Yes! It's so fragrant. I've never smelled such fragrant food. Could it be made by the old man?"
The two chefs who had gone out to enjoy the coolness ran back. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Nian Bing holding an iron pot in both hands, and the aroma came from it. Cha Ji glanced at the two chefs and said calmly: "No need to cook.
, just looking at the person is enough."
The two chefs didn't seem to hear Cha Ji's words, their eyes fell on the iron pot, and they swallowed like they were thinking about ice before. One of the chefs said: "Hey, what are you making? It smells so good."
!”
Nian Bing was about to answer, but was stopped by Cha Ji. He looked at Nian Bing and said: "Remember, cooking also depends on the target. Not everyone has the right to eat. Chefs have the dignity of chefs. We cook
Only those who are worthy of the food can eat it. Let’s go.”
Whether the three-juice braised fish is delicious or not can be seen from Nian Bing's eating portrait. He cleaned at least 80% of the entire pot himself, plus two steamed buns, and he enjoyed eating it. When the battle was over
, the clothes on his body were stained by the sauce in many places, and apart from the fish bones, there was only some residual juice left in the pot. The waiter next to him saw his eyes widened.
"Master, I admire you more and more. This is so delicious. I really don't know what I will do without you in the future." Nian Bing patted his bulging belly with satisfaction and moaned comfortably.
Cha Ji chuckled and said: "Don't worry, you will know what to do soon. If you want to have good food in your life, it is useless to rely on others. You can only rely on yourself."
Nian Bing felt vaguely that something was not good, but as he was familiar with Chaji, he knew that he would not tell his master if he asked him. It seemed that his life would not be easy after he returned.
Looking at the dirty precious apprentice, Cha Ji said angrily: "Are you going to go back to sleep now, or are you going to go out with me to earn money in the weapons shop and find you a suitable knife?"
Zha Ji said in a deep voice: "Before eating, some people seemed to say that they were too tired to walk. How come you are energetic again now?"
Nian Bing chuckled and said: "Master, I know you are the best. Isn't this motivation? If I get my own precious knife earlier, I can become more familiar with the knife's properties!"
Chaji stood up and said, "Then go back and change your clothes quickly. Going out like this won't embarrass me enough."
"Yes, yes, I'll go now." Nian Bing showed a speed that was completely out of proportion to his figure, and quickly ran to the backyard of the hotel to get clothes.
When Cha Ji and Nian Bing appeared on the streets of Ice and Snow City, the sky was gradually getting dark. A cloud in the distance, illuminated by the afterglow of the sun, brought the most beautiful sunset red before the sunset, leaving a residual glow on the street.
After walking for a while, Nian Bing pointed to a large store not far ahead and said: "Master, that is a weapons store, let's go in and have a look!" The sword-shaped sign at the door of the weapons store is very eye-catching, and it says
There are three big characters in the name "Baoqixuan". Although it is already evening, there is still an endless stream of customers coming and going, showing a prosperous business.
Cha Ji casually pinched the fat on Nian Bing's face and said, "Idiot, if you go to a place like this to buy a kitchen knife, it would be strange if you don't get beaten out."
Nian Bing rubbed his chubby little face, "How do I know? Didn't you say you were going to a weapons store?"
Chaji identified the direction and said, "Come with me. The weapons store is a weapons store, but not here." As he said that, he pulled Nian Bing and turned into a small alley next to him. He seemed to be very familiar with this place.
Following Nian Bing, we walked through the streets and alleys for about a meal. When it got dark, Cha Ji finally stopped out of breath, pointed to the front and said, "This is it."
