Chapter 1040: Extreme Dragon Yin (II)

Xia Yu said in a firm tone that this plate of crab meat is just a part of the old demon king's "Extreme Dragon Yin".

The reason is simple.

He knows what the "food spirit" is, and knows the style and characteristics of the demon king of dine-in, which is condensed and embodied in the food picture, and is by no means a shrimp soldier and crab general. Little minion, it's not a match for the old demon king at all.

Nagi Senzaemon removed the whole crab shell from the charcoal basin and moved it to a dining table in the kitchen, where everyone surrounded him.

"Eat whatever you want. ”

With these words, the old chef returned to the cooking table.

This time, he put a clean metal grilling net on the charcoal basin, but he didn't immediately put anything on the barbecue, but took a boiling pot for boiling soup, and left a few pieces of crab shells that were piled up next to the wooden board, and threw the rest into the deep pot and added water!

Soon the water was boiling.

Foam and smoke came out of the soup pot, but in the pot, the ingredients for boiling the thick soup were actually a bunch of crab shells!

Even Xia Yu was slightly surprised.

Crab shells!

It's actually a crab shell!

This thing, not to mention that it is a waste to be discarded when eating crabs on the table, and it is replaced by a chef who works in the kitchen of a restaurant, if it is a large meal that only takes crab roe and crab meat, and the crab shell is also disposed of as garbage.

But it's actually a part of the center of Nagi Senzaemon's "Extreme Dragon Singing"!

"That's right!" Xia Yu's eyes quickly converged with astonishment, "Is the crab shell the protagonist of the recipe!"

He pressed his curiosity and continued to watch.

On the other hand, a group of friends from Polestar Liao were already sharing the charcoal-grilled crab meat and eating it happily, but including Xia Yu, Dojima Gin, Kamihara Masato, etc., they ignored the crab meat, and their attention at this time was completely on the crab shell soup.

The water boiled but the fire was not turned off.

The thick soup becomes more and more mellow due to the evaporation of water during boiling, and the color of the soup changes to a rich beige color.

Fill a deep pot with water, and you end up with only a clear glassware of soup.

The screen removes the crab shells and impurities.

So a pot of crab shell soup was under everyone's noses, smoking, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Xia Yu sniffed, his arms coiled in front of his chest, and suddenly stiffened, the gourmet scene of burning the sea that he had glimpsed because of the taste of hunting crab meat, the boundless ocean, suddenly turned into the color of thick soup, and reddish shrimp and crabs floated in the sea of soup.

Grunt!

There is a strong hunger signal from the stomach pouch.

The most obvious thing is that even though Xia Yu's concentration is quite good, there is a touch of appetite in his eyes.

"The taste of crab shell soup even surpasses that of crab meat itself?"

Kohei said incrediblely.

Megumi Tadoko, Yuhime Yoshino, these friends, a moment ago, were still holding chopsticks to compete for crab meat to eat, but now they are attracted by the strange fragrance, hula rushing, and there is also an incredible look written on their faces.

"Crab shells are not nutritious, are they?" said Erina Nagiri, dumbfounded.

"Erina-san, that's not the case...... Crab shell, in fact, is not a waste material, it has the characteristics of medicine and food. ”

Scarlet Shazi, a new household from a famous family of medicinal food, explained to the eldest lady in a low voice, her voice was soft, but the kitchen was silent, and everyone listened to it, "Crab shells can be used in medicine." In the past, there were pharmacists who specialized in collecting crab shells, soaking them in ghee, drying them and crushing them to get the powder of crab shells. ”

"This kind of crab shell powder, which tastes sour and cold, can be taken with gauze wrapped in boiling soup to supplement chitin. ”

Chitin!

At the mention of this term, many people in the room stared.

This is a food additive.

At the same time, it also has a significant immunity-enhancing effect in the field of medicine.

But Xia Yu was different from everyone else, the colors in his eyes were like clouds, turning over and over, thinking about something violently.

"Crab meat, from the perspective of medicinal food, is 'cold'!"

"Crab shells, it's also a big cold!"

Suddenly, Xia Yu's pupils constricted.

When everyone was talking, Nagi Senzaemon found a piece of "kombu" out of nowhere.

In neon cuisine, "kombu" is the unified name for all kelp, and it is an ingredient that has truly existed with the history of neon and has been eaten by the neon people since the Nara period.

In Japanese cuisine, kombu is usually used to make miso soup.

In anime and many dramas, the Japanese-style kombu that often appears is also impressive. After all, their kelp, with its very large leaves, is not a thin one, uncut and unprocessed, and retains the most primitive form of algae.

Now Nagi Senzaemon has taken such a piece of "kombu".

"Click!"

The ink-colored kombu, about three fingers wide, was broken by Senzaemon, and when you heard the crisp sound, you knew that this kombu was unsoaked.

Seeing that he threw this piece of kombu directly into the crab shell soup that had just been boiled, seeing that the off-white soup was gradually submerging the dark green ingredients, Xia Yu couldn't help but turn his mind over, and thought: "Kombu, it's also a cold thing!"

"From a culinary point of view, neon people like to put kelp in the soup and refine the soup base, because kelp has its own umami and can make a pot of soup fresh!"

"In Japanese cuisine, dashi generally refers to water that has been boiled in kombu. ”

Xia Yu also knows that the ancestor of modern monosodium glutamate, 'sodium glutamate', is extracted from kombu, so it is conceivable how delicious a pot of kombu soup can be.

But Kakombu is obviously not the finishing touch of the recipe of Nagi Senzaemon's "Extreme Dragon Groan".

Soy sauce!

A spoonful of soy sauce was put into the soup and blended, Xia Yu said secretly: "This is thin soy sauce." ”

He is judged by the color of the soy sauce, under it.

Different from domestic light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, there are many types of Japanese soy sauce, and 'thin soy sauce' is in the middle range of many Japanese soy sauces, not too strong, and is commonly used to prepare light-colored dishes and broths.

Xia Yu secretly remembered every detail.

Of course.

There was a hint of supernatural color in his eyes. [Super Vision] operates, you can peep as much as you can!

The crab shell soup is here, but it is almost unexpectedly conditioned.

Next, back to the pot!

Nagi Senzaemon poured a pot full of thick soup back into the soup pot and boiled it again.

Soon, the soup was boiling, the old man held the chopsticks, and with an unfathomable smile on the corner of his mouth, he suddenly stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a dark green shadow in the pot. This is a slice of kombu that was put on the table before.

Xia Yu's face was shocked.

"Huh?!"

The dark green thing caught by the chopsticks in his field of vision, the thick soup boiling with the heat, the ups and downs, where is still the kelp, clearly turned into a majestic ink dragon.

This dragon is being caught seven inches on the neck by the chopsticks of Nagi Senzaemon!

"Wow"!

The valve of the stove was turned off, the dark green shadow was ripped off the water, and everything was back to normal.

Morita Maki secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the commander-in-chief clipping out a piece of kombu. Of course, she didn't dare to question the cooking process of this 'Demon Eater', but her heart was suffocating. In her mind, this kombu should have been taken out long ago before the soup was boiled in the pot, or even before the soy sauce was added.

The girl glanced at the kitchen counter, but was stunned to find that Xia Yu's forehead was overflowing with sweat.

What's wrong?

She immediately became nervous, not knowing why the boy was sweating.
