Chapter 152: The Heart Sutra of Medicine and Food
That's right, the flavor of sea cucumber and Gong Dan blended just right, and the heat was also in place, if it weren't for the fishy smell, this 'Gong Dan stewed sea cucumber' would definitely be an excellent dish. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wang Yi had a bitter face, like a frosted eggplant, he now knew that his dish had failed, but he still wanted to find out why.
"What is the reason?" Wang Yi picked up a piece of sea cucumber and tasted it, and then thought about the process of cooking again, puzzled.
"Boss, the sea cucumber smells like this, it's very fishy. Five Eyes tasted it, chewed it in his mouth, and spit it out directly.
"He's been cheated. ”
"What's the pit?" Five-Eyes asked curiously.
"He had a problem with the ingredients. Liu Mang poked one of the sea cucumbers with chopsticks and said.
"Master Liu, do you know the reason?" Wang Yi on the side heard the conversation between Liu Mang and Wuyan, and hurriedly asked.
"Uh, do you really want me to say it?" Liu Mang hesitated, he was still in the game, and if he did this, he would undoubtedly be demolishing the opponent's platform.
"I'd like to hear about it, I already know I've lost anyway, but I've got to find a reason. Wang Yi looked very helpless.
"Okay. Liu Mang nodded and used chopsticks to clamp a sea cucumber into two.
"The quality of your sea cucumber is very good, but it is mixed with fakes. ”
"What? fake? This can't be, right? These sea cucumbers are all carefully selected by me, how can there be fake?" Wang Yi's eyes widened.
"It's not all fake, only one sea cucumber is fake. Look at this one. Liu Mang picked out the fake sea cucumber on the plate.
"Boss, it doesn't make a difference, it's the same left and right. After taking a closer look, Goyan asked.
"Yes, it's the same on the outside, but you look inside. Liu Mang took a knife and fork and cut open the sea cucumber's belly.
"See the difference?"
"Well, I found the difference, this sea cucumber has a smooth belly, and there are no other sea cucumber lines. ”
"That's right, this sea cucumber is not a sea cucumber, it is made artificially by crushing and grinding squid into powder!"
"Ah?!" Wang Yi heard Liu Mang say this, so he used chopsticks to pick up a little fake sea cucumber and put it in his mouth.
"It's really fake! No wonder it smells fishy!"
The reason why Liu Mang was able to distinguish the authenticity of this sea cucumber was because such a method of making sea cucumber with squid meal was recorded in the "Diaoding Collection" that was silently given to him.
The sea cucumber is called 'vegetarian sea cucumber', and it has the appearance of a sea cucumber, but it does not have the smell of sea cucumber and has a fishy smell that is difficult to remove.
The sea cucumber made in this way looks exactly like a real sea cucumber, and even experienced chefs are easy to see. And Wang Yi only mixed one of his dozen sea cucumbers, no wonder he was fooled.
Liu Mang originally thought that this method was lost, but he didn't expect it to reappear today.
Hearing Liu Mang's reminder, Wang Yi remembered that in the process of looking for ingredients, a merchant who sold seafood came to the door and sold him eight sea cucumbers.
He saw that the quality was very good, and he made a tasting on the spot, and he didn't find a problem, so he accepted it, but he didn't expect to be fooled.
The result of the game speaks for itself, and Liu Mang won the game with an absolute advantage.
At the same time, there are still three games, Liu Mang can enter the finals, against Lin Xiao, and he is getting closer and closer to the position of the chef.
After the game was completed, Liu Mang returned to the hotel, and after a simple wash, he lay on the bed and entered the kitchen space.
The kitchen space is now lush and green, all kinds of fruits have grown to more than a meter high, and many of the fruits on the trees that were still green are about to ripen.
The monkey king has been trained by Xiaobao to obey, and is preparing to make wine there with a group of monkey grandchildren.
Liu Mang walked up to the huge stone tablet of the god of kitchen and pressed his hand on it.
First checked his emotional value, after several task rewards and recent collections, Liu Mang's current emotional value has skyrocketed to 20 million, which can be exchanged for a more advanced recipe.
"To change or not to change?" Liu Mang looked at the dazzling array of dishes in the space and hesitated.
"It's better not to change it for the time being, I don't know what I need now, and I'll change it when I need it urgently. Liu Mang thought about it for a while, but still gave up.
Recently, Liu Mang has been busy participating in the Chef God Competition, and he rarely pays attention to the affairs of the space, and even rarely tries the vegetables produced in the Chef God Space.
Liu Mang has already thought about it, and when he takes back his own store, he must make the most of the use of the kitchen god space.
With the ingredients produced in the space, coupled with their own craftsmanship, they will definitely be able to truly build 'Upstairs Upstairs' into the most famous restaurant in China and even the world."
"The lottery begins!" Liu Mang said silently in his heart.
The white light curtain that evolved from the space appeared in front of Liu Mang's eyes, and the circular turntable began to rotate wildly, and the small square lattices quickly lit up, and then dimmed.
"Stop, stop!" Seeing the pointer on the turntable turn the red and yellow grid again, Liu Mang shouted in his heart.
Liu Mang's luck was good this time, and the pointer really stopped on the yellow grid.
"Haha! The next volume of "Food Treasures"!"
Liu Mang was overjoyed, the last "Food Treasures" was drawn from this grid, and it should be the same this time.
Unexpectedly, the information transmitted from the space to Liu Mang's mind surprised him.
The reward is not the second volume of "Food Treasures" at all, but another book - "Medical Food Heart Sutra"
"What the hell is this?" Seeing that it was not the "Food Treasures" he wanted, but another other book, Liu Mang's heart felt a little lost.
But when he received the message from the Kitchen God Space, this loss immediately turned into ecstasy.
The "Heart Sutra of Medicine and Food" records the practice of various ancient medicinal diets.
According to the above records, the medicinal diet made according to these secret methods can not only replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body, but also treat diseases.
The concept of "medicine and food homology" is actually widely spread in China, and it is also one of the most valuable contributions to mankind among China's original medicine.
For example, celery, which is often eaten, has its medicinal value, and it has been recorded in ancient books.
"Shennong's Materia Medica" contains, celery "stops bleeding and nourishes essence, protects blood vessels, nourishes qi, and makes people fat and healthy and hungry".
"Compendium of Materia Medica" contains: "Celery is finely chopped, boiled juice and drunk, which can cure children's vomiting and diarrhea." For those with white roots of cress, remove the leaves and pound the juice, and take the water to treat the pain of urine. Pounded juice with cress, taken six or seven times a day, can cure urine bleeding. ”
But with the popularity of Western medicine in recent years, even traditional Chinese medicine has declined, not to mention those medicinal diets that have little effect and are somewhat miraculous.
But Liu Mang knows that the "Medical Food Heart Sutra" produced by this space is definitely not that simple, and the various medicinal diets recorded on it must also have its magical effects.
