Chapter Seventy-Four: Tempura
Needless to say, Zhongli didn't have the leisure and elegance of playing wilderness to survive, he directly took out a lighter and lit the fire, and then set up a frying pan, and while heating a pot full of oil, he adjusted the starch batter.
Soon, the oil temperature went up, and Zhongli finished seasoning the batter, and he was ready to officially fry the centipede tempura.
One of the characteristics of Toei cuisine is tempura, which is first mixed with flour to form a paste, then raw fish and shrimp as the main ingredient, coated in a layer of batter, and then fried in a pan until golden brown.
This kind of cooking, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant but not greasy, has an excellent taste, and can fully retain the flavor and characteristics of the ingredients, which is very popular with food lovers.
Although Zhongli has never learned the recipe of tempura, it is good that this dish is easy to make, and it is enough to master basic cooking skills.
Seeing that the sesame oil in the pot was already hot, Zhongli immediately used chopsticks to pick up a piece of centipede white meat and rolled it in the batter until the white meat was coated with a layer of white batter before putting it into the oil pot.
"Wow!"
The white meat is put into the pot, sizzling, and the aroma of batter and fried immediately rises, which also carries a bit of delicious meat, which makes this small wooden house suddenly crispy and fragrant.
"Are you really okay like this?"
"Even if it's not late at night, you can't release poison!"
"Stop it, the anchor is not the title of the food channel hanging on your live broadcast room. ”
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I can already smell the scent coming out of the screen. ”
"Why should I look at this during work hours, I don't even have a loaf of bread to nibble on now!"
In the live broadcast room, the audience who was poisoned by Zhongli sat in front of the computer without tears, expressing strong condemnation and indignation at the anchor's unprofessional behavior and poisoning others.
The audience who watched the live broadcast was still like this, and the three Zhang Ying who were at the scene needless to say.
"Goo!"
In the crispy fragrance of the room, Zhang Ying and the three of them, who were still very resistant, swallowed their saliva very angrily, looked at Zhongli with straight eyes, and looked at the centipede tempura that was gradually fried golden in the oil pot, and the sour water in his stomach was rising.
Since being caught by Ruan Kun, the three of them have not received any food, especially Meng Hao, as the temporary nest of the white jade centipede, Ruan Kun didn't dare him eat anything at all, unlike Zhang Ying and the two girls, and fed some medicines that can replenish qi and blood.
There has been no substantial food for a long time, and the three of them have already been hungry, but they were too emotional before, so they didn't feel anything, and now they ......
"Goo!"
There was another unassuming sound, Zhang Ying and the three of them looked at the centipede tempura that had turned golden in the oil pot, only to feel a sour stomach, the extreme emptiness and hunger, their bodies trembled slightly, like three hungry little beggars standing in front of the bun shop.
Hunger is enough to turn any food into a supreme delicacy, let alone this tempura with all the color and flavor, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a little sense, and the tempura didn't come out of the pot, the three of them were afraid that they would have already pounced on it and a vicious dog would have taken the food.
"Anchor, you're doing evil!"
"Look, what are these two girls and the Miao brothers coveted by you?"
"Their appearance is a true portrayal of our present, won't your conscience hurt if you do this?"
Looking at the hungry and the three Zhang Ying, who had already been hooked by the crispy fragrance, the audience in the live broadcast room felt the same and started a new round of condemnation of Zhongli.
Putting aside these individual drama spirits for the time being, Zhongli, who had just put a small plate of centipede tempura out of the pot, instantly felt three hungry wolf-like gazes fall on him, and when he looked up, he saw three people looking at him with blank eyes, without any words, and the expressions on his faces said everything.
Seeing this, Zhongli was also helpless, shook his head, handed over the plate of centipede tempura in his hand, and said, "Do you want to eat?"
"Eat, eat!"
These words made the three people who couldn't let go of it for a while, and the girl with a smaller head behind Zhang Ying ran over directly, stretched out her hand to twist a piece from the plate, but then felt a little embarrassed, and stood in place very entangled.
Zhongli shook his head, took out three bamboo sticks and inserted them into the plate, and then handed them to the girl named Lu Xue, and said, "You can divide it yourself." ”
"Thank you, thank you!"
Looking at this plate of fragrant tempura, Lu Xue was a little flattered, and it took a while to come back to her senses and thank Zhong Li repeatedly.
Zhongli smiled and said, "No, your current body also needs to supplement nutrients, eat slowly, it's not enough." ”
With that, Zhongli blew up the rest of the tempura again.
"The anchor is so warm, do you have a girlfriend?"
"What do you think of my husband earlier?"
"Why didn't I go to Xishuangbanna, why did I stay at home during the summer vacation, why didn't I meet the anchor, why!"
"I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat......!"
Looking at the plate of tempura that Lu Xue was holding in her hand, the resentful atmosphere in the entire live broadcast room began to rise in a straight line.
A chill hit, Lu Xue shivered inexplicably, and then returned to Zhang Ying and Meng Hao with a plate and began to eat the centipede tempura.
Without the slightest hesitation, the disgust and resistance to the centipede had already disappeared in this rich crispy fragrance, and the three of them tied up a piece of centipede tempura with bamboo skewers, put it in their mouths full of excitement, and then ......
"Hmm!"
In the mouth, you will feel a burst of rich fragrance spread on the tip of the tongue, making people chew involuntarily, fried until the golden batter shell, crushed between the lips and teeth, in the crispy taste, suddenly a burst of delicate, delicious meat juice burst in the mouth, spread, spread......
In an instant, the three of them seemed to ascend to heaven, and their bodies and minds were extremely satisfied, and the nightmarish experience dissipated like a cloud of smoke, replaced by a thirst and pursuit of deliciousness.
In the next moment, the three of them opened their eyes in unison, looked at each other, and then stretched out their hands like lightning, and then the tempura, which was not much on the plate, disappeared three more pieces in an instant.
“......”
In the air, there seemed to be gunsmoke, looking at the three people who were like vicious dogs snatching food, Zhongli shook his head and asked, "How is it, the taste is okay, right?"
"It's delicious, it's even better than the glutinous baba made by my sister!"
"Hmm...... Xiaoxue, you have eaten too much, that piece is mine, don't grab it!"
"It smells so good!"
