(Thanks to the leader for waiting for the 10,000-dollar reward from Mr. Kiss, eh. Top 23S. Fastest update)
The chaff husk will not burn, but will burn without flames from the inside to the outside. Only slightly red sparks and smoke can be seen but no open flame. This kind of fire has a special name, called "zimu fire", Zimu fire
The temperature is low and gentle, and is mostly used for simmering.
If you have a little knowledge of the chef's profession, you will know that as long as the Zimu fire is used, it will take three to five hours at least.
More than half an hour later, the wet paper at the mouth of the can was just starting to bulge.
When the temperature of the water inside rises, bubbles appear. These bubbles are blocked by the paper and then burst, leaving clear foam outside the paper.
From time to time, Xue Zhen gently wiped the sealing paper with a towel dipped in boiling water. It was not until an hour later that only water vapor was visible in the jar, but no foam.
Xue Zhen took out another bottle of wine. When he opened it, it was spicy and pungent.
Qin Wuyong is quite familiar with this taste.
"Master Xue, is this tequila?"
Xue Zhen didn't expect that anyone actually knew about this kind of wine.
"Hey, as far as I know, I am the only one in this base city who uses this kind of wine to prepare dishes. How did you recognize this wine?"
Qin Wuyong scratched his head,
"Ahem, when I was hungry in the wilderness, I nibbled on agave... Well... the taste of agave is quite unique, so Master Xue, I smelled it as soon as you took out this wine.
.”
Xue Zhen smiled and nodded, tore off the seal of the jar, and took out two more lids, one large and one small.
The mouth of the jar has a structure similar to that of a kimchi jar, with an outer edge and an inner edge, but the outer edge is much wider than an ordinary kimchi jar.
The small lid is in the shape of a dish, with an inner buckle that fits right into the inner edge of the jar mouth.
Xue Zhen poured the entire bottle of wine onto the outer edge of the jar, covered it with a large bowl-shaped lid, poured a bottle of tequila on the jar's mouth, and sealed it completely.
When the first bubbles of steam began to emerge from the wine at the edge of the jar, Xue Zhen set the wine on fire.
The blue flames with red flames soared up to more than two feet high, and the aroma of wine swayed wantonly. It took more than ten minutes for the flames to extinguish.
Xue Zhen found a chair and sat facing the fire.
"Little friend Lin, how long will your food take?"
Lin Chou asked, "What about you?"
"Seven hours."
Lin Chou said,
"It's almost the same. If I wait another eight hours, my food will be ready."
Qin Wuyong looked at his watch and started cooking the third dish. Now more than four hours have passed. What exactly is Lin Chou cooking? It will take eight hours to cook it?
However, seeing Lin Chou's secrecy, Qin Wuyong didn't run over to ask for trouble.
Hmm, does the bad taste of being a chef also include the various expressions on the faces of diners when the dishes are served?
As the sky grew dark, people who couldn't stand it began to leave. When they got the news, they came to gossip one after another, and the Bafang Building was soon full.
It's just that they came at the wrong time. Xue Zhen closed his eyes and meditated on the chair, getting up from time to time to tinker with the charcoal fire. Lin Chou simply snored behind the dining table.
The entire Bafanglou hall is filled with a sleepy and hypnotic atmosphere.
...
"Squeak."
I don't know when, the door of Bafang Building was suddenly pushed open, and Uncle Zhao and Zhao Ziyu rushed in.
As soon as Zhao Er entered the door, he shouted loudly,
"Lin Chou? Where's Lin Chou! What's happening??"
Zhao Ziyu frowned,
"Oh, brother Chou is a pure man...cheap brother-in-law, Gaga, I heard that you lost a finger and a hand? Let me see, what does it look like?"
Uncle Zhao frowned,
"Ziyu, don't talk nonsense."
Zhao Ziyu stuck out his tongue and searched the crowd with his eyes.
Seeing that no one answered him, Zhao Er burst out with anger and aura,
"Are you fucking dead? Speak!!"
Qin Wuyong pointed to the empty dining table,
"Ahem, Boss Lin drank too much and is just catching up on his sleep."
Zhao Er didn't take two steps toward the terrace when he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
Xue Zhen opened his eyes,
"The second master is here too... Haha, this is a private matter between me and Xiaoyou Lin. I hope the second master will give me some thin noodles, Lao Xue, and not interfere."
Zhao Er's eyes widened, and he saw the bright hands of Lin Chou on the dining table from a distance, and asked in disbelief,
"What did you just say? Say it again?"
Xue Zhen stood up and bowed,
"Second Master, if you want to interrupt this competition, I, Old Xue, may not be able to survive in this world."
Uncle Zhao's lips were trembling,
"I...not...Xue Zhen, are you fucking crazy or something??"
"Second Master, do you think I will lose?"
"Didn't you already..."
Xue Zhen laughed,
"Even if we lose one more round, it's just one step away, so it's not a big deal. Besides, we don't know the outcome yet."
"..."
Zhao Er couldn't help but wonder, could it be that I really can't keep up with your rhythm? I can understand every word of this, but how do you put it together to mean something wrong?
"call..."
Lin Chou peeked his head out from behind the dining table and asked with drunken eyes,
"Lao Xue, what time is it?"
This wine is fine when you drink it, and it's fine after you drink it.
But after taking advantage of the drunkenness to sleep for a while, I woke up feeling miserable.
Xue Zhendao,
"It's three o'clock, there's still a while until dawn."
Lin Chou yawned,
"Well, I just want to smooth the fish again..."
Zhao Er looked at Xue Zhen and then at Lin Chou, feeling like he had become a fool. What happened?
"Lin Chou, what are you going to do?"
"Hey, the second master is here, where are the others."
"What other people?"
Lin Chou muttered,
"You're so damn slow, you haven't come yet... Lao Xue, your quantity is not enough..."
Lao Xue looked determined that I would die if you were meddling in other people's business. Zhao Erding had no choice.
Isn't it because I can't catch the fox and make myself embarrassed? I can only sit down angrily on the side. If it doesn't work, I just wait until this guy loses and knocks him out.
but...
When a person is determined to die, there seems to be no rational solution other than putting him in a mental hospital or beating him into a fool and then putting him in a mental hospital.
"Silly beep."
Zhao Er couldn't help but cursed, and Zhao Ziyu nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's right."
...
Xue Zhen came to Lin Chou's dining table with a smile on his face. He had already added the chaff for the last time, and there was no need to take care of the stew pot anymore. It could be cooked naturally after the fire went out.
"Little friend, can you now show everyone what you are preparing?"
"It's so mysterious that it aroused my curiosity."
When Xue Zhen said this, the onlookers who had been waiting impatiently also looked over eagerly.
Mad, this is a life and death situation, why are you letting us, the public judges, look at the dining table?
Lin Chou's hands were full of sheep's blood and he brought a large basin to the dining table.
"It's just the mandarin fish you carefully cultivated. It's no big deal."
I saw that the big basin was filled with turbid sewage, and there was a thick layer of white, turbid, flocculent oil floating on the red water.
"..."
Xue Zhen's mouth twitched,
"Hey, Xiaoyou Lin, I started to 'purify' my mandarin fish a hundred days ago. I don't let them eat any food that has any flavor. I feed them wine and soup plus secret ingredients, just to make the fish meat pure and fragrant.
, maybe one out of a hundred will survive... Are you... a bit..."
Shen Daru's spirit was not as good as those of those who evolved. He just woke up from his sleep, took a look and said,
"This, this...isn't this a waste of a good thing!!"
Lin Chou fiddled with the water in the basin and saw a mandarin fish that was half an arm long, shaking its tail and rushing towards Lin Chou's finger.
Xue Zhen frowned and realized that things were indeed not simple.
