Chapter 165: Fermentation of Ingredients
When Lin Miao appeared in the Dark Cooking Realm Council Hall the next day, everyone was shocked.
"Huh? Isn't that Lin Miao? Didn't she die in the underground tunnels of the Wolf's Tooth Cave four years ago? ”
"Looking back now, the Lanyue Jiao Sect Master just didn't find her back then, which doesn't mean that she died. You want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die. ”
"Tut-tut, it's really a female college eighteen, this little girl is much brighter than four years ago, I think she is better than Lanyue Jiao's sect leader."
"If you don't say a word, you'll die? Shut up. ”
Umeng stood up above the main position, raised his right hand and pressed it weakly, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
"Be still!"
The people of the sect were quiet, but their eyes were still wandering around Lin Miao. When they saw Ling Rui standing beside Lin Miao, the people who had already quieted down couldn't help but whisper again.
"Isn't that Ling Rui? How could it be so close to Lin Miao? ”
"He is now a rookie in Ossan, and many masters have been challenged and won by him, and his cooking skills are getting better and better."
"What I asked was obviously the relationship between him and Lin Miao, what are you answering? I know what you're talking about. ”
"I don't know the question."
“”
Seeing that the crowd was whispering again, Umon had to shout again, "Silence! ”
Finally, no one was silent anymore.
Wumeng coughed lightly twice and said, "I think many people know this girl here, she is the forest seedling who entered Wushan four years ago. ”
The crowd nodded silently. Everybody saw it.
"Today, I have brought you together to announce something. In fact. This matter is also a rehash of the old story. That is, as long as Lin Miao helps me make the Rebirth Flower, I will let her and Yuejiao out of the dark culinary world. ”
"Huh?" Everyone was in an uproar, although this matter had been mentioned four years ago, but it was mentioned again after so long. It's still a bit of a surprise.
"Sect Master" Ling Rui hurriedly took a step forward, just now Wumeng only said that Lin Miao and Lan Yuejiao could get out of the dark cooking world, and forgot that they still had themselves.
"Oh. And Ling Rui. Umeng added.
"Sect Master, the old man feels that there is something strange in this matter." I haven't seen her for many years, and Meng Huaiqiu is still so annoying.
"Shut up!" Umeng scolded. He's not as good-tempered as Lan Yuejiao. What did Meng Huaiqiu have in mind? He is very clear, although now that he has taken over the position of sect leader, it is impossible for him Meng Huaiqiu to have any ideas in the position of sect leader, but he still likes to rely on the old and sell the old, and he likes to point fingers and express his opinions in everything.
Seeing that Wumeng didn't show mercy to himself and scolded himself in front of everyone, Meng Huaiqiu's face was somewhat unbearable.
He endured it. He secretly retreated and glared at Lin Miao secretly. transferred all the grievances to Lin Miao.
"Who else thinks there's something strange about this matter, what else has to say?" Wumeng glanced at everyone majestically, and when he saw that no one spoke, he snorted coldly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I just informed you." Speaking of which, this is also my Wumeng's family matter, and outsiders don't need to care so much. ”
When he said the last sentence, Wumeng glanced coldly at Meng Huaiqiu, who buried his head deep in his chest, pretending not to hear or not want to hear.
After Wumeng let everyone disperse, Meng Huaiqiu beckoned Fang Minyue over, lowered his voice and said to him, "You go and inquire, what is going on, why did Lin Miao, this girl, suddenly come back in a good manner." ”
The place where Wumeng developed the rebirth flower is in a small kitchen specially built in the back mountain, not far from Hantan, and it is very convenient to take the ingredients.
Lin Miao followed him here, looked around curiously, and found that although this small kitchen was small, it had all the necessary items. In the garbage heap in the kitchen, there are a lot of discarded ingredients that smell foul.
Lin Miao couldn't help but raise his hand, fanned it in the air, then rubbed his nose, and said to Wumeng dissatisfiedly, "How can you make such a stink wherever you go?" ”
When Wumeng heard this, he turned around suddenly, a masked face was completely expressionless, but Lin Miao could clearly feel his anger.
"You girl, why are you talking so ugly?" After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Ling Rui who was standing behind Lin Miao, "This kind of girl, what do you like about her?" ”
"Whoa! What are you talking about? Who sued you that he liked me anymore? Lin Miao said angrily, and two red clouds couldn't help but rise on his face.
Ling Rui smiled softly and said to Wumeng, "Sect Master, are these piles all your discarded Rebirth Flower ingredients?" He pointed to the pile of foul-smelling things, this thing really smelled bad, no wonder Lin Miao had such a big opinion.
"Yes, this ingredient has been soaked by the autumn wind, and it won't take long for it to rot and stink. There are so many accumulations that I don't even bother to clean them up. ”
Lin Miao frowned and inhaled, and suddenly, his expression eased slightly, and he walked towards the pile of ingredients with a puzzled face.
"Lin Miao, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly get so close, didn't you just say that this pile of stuff smells bad? Ling Rui hurriedly followed, wondering what was wrong with her? Don't be stunned by the stench and go in the wrong direction.
"I smell a strange smell." Lin Miao squatted down, approached the pile of discarded ingredients, and sniffed vigorously.
"What does it smell like?" Ummon also approached and crouched down curiously, but soon he stood up again. The smell was so bad that he couldn't stand it.
Although he emitted a foul smell every day, it was not the same as this smell.
"There seems to be a strange smell in the stench on the surface, do you smell it?" Lin Miao raised his head and asked Ling Rui and Wumeng.
The other two shook their heads, indicating that they didn't smell anything other than the stench.
"Is this the delicious taste recorded in the book, made by the method of fermentation through guò?" Lin Miao muttered to herself.
"What did you say?" Umeng didn't hear clearly.
"Let me try." Lin Miao stood up, looked around the room, and found clean white gauze, as well as a round wooden barrel and a lid. "Well, there are all the things you want to use, I'll try to see if you can use the methods mentioned in the book to ferment to make zuò special delicious."
"Leave it alone, stand aside." Lin Miao first took out a silk scarf from his arms, covered his mouth and nose, and then waved his hand to Wumeng and Ling Rui, asking them to stand outside.
"Shall I help you?" Ling Rui looked at Lin Miao worriedly, and then at the pile of stenching ingredients on the ground, he really didn't feel at ease to leave her alone in the small kitchen.
Lin Miao shook his head vigorously and pushed Ling Rui out of the door.
Of course, Umeng would not let go of such a good opportunity, and although he was pushed out of the door, he still stretched his neck and carefully observed Lin Miao's movements.
Seeing Lin Miao inside, he first set up a fire to boil some water, and put all the ingredients that had emitted a foul smell into the pot and boiled them.
"What is this for? I'm good at serving the pot, she uses it to cook these stinky things, how will I use it in the future! Umeng couldn't help but complain at the door.
Ling Rui was silent, and he was also pushed out of the door, but his attention was all on Lin Miao inside.
Both of them stretched their necks and watched Lin Miao tinker for a long time, but they still didn't see what she was busy with.
About an hour later, Lin Miao came out of the small kitchen.
She took off the silk scarf covering her mouth and nose, wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, and then said to the two of them, "Okay, let's go, come back in a day or two, and then it should be ready to ferment." ”
"What were you just doing? Tell me about it? Umeng asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Lin Miao rolled his eyes: "I'm only responsible for helping you, but I'm not responsible for teaching you." ”
After speaking, he stepped out of the small kitchen in three or two steps and walked away.
Two or three days later, the three of them gathered again in the kitchen.
Lin Miao carefully opened the lid on the wooden barrel, and the originally stinky ingredients revealed a special aroma after fermentation.
But the surface of the ingredients is covered with long hairs.
"Oops, it's all hairy, it's broken." When Umon saw this, he shook his head in disgust.
"It's not bad." Seeing that long hairs had grown on the ingredients, Lin Miao said happily, "This is just the hair of the fungus, and if it dries, it will be gone." ”
"What fungus?" Umeng didn't understand.
Lin Miao didn't explain, but took the fermented ingredients out of the wooden barrel and found a new place to store them.
Although Ling Rui didn't understand what Lin Miao had done, seeing her happy expression, he knew that he had succeeded.
"Is that done?" Wumeng saw that Lin Miao ignored him, so he had nothing to say.
"That's right." Lin Miao turned around and asked Wumeng, "How did this rebirth flower work, my understanding of it, only stopped at the fact that it can open seven times and lose seven times, and after each opening and defeat, the taste will become more delicious." However, how exactly is it made and what ingredients are needed? I don't know anything about that. ”
Umeng was silent for a long time.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Lin Miao saw that he was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly. Looks like he's still guarding himself.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know. The Rebirth Flower is just a legendary dish, except for the effect of seven openings and seven defeats, the rest, no one knows at all. ”
“”
No way? Just because of a legend and not knowing anything, he rushed into it to study it, which was also too scary.
"In this case, it is very likely that this rebirth flower is just a legend. Most of them are distorted, so don't believe it. Lin Miao said.
"How can this work, I have been eaten into this appearance because of this rebirth flower, you sue me now, don't believe it, then what should I do with this face? Will it keep rotting? Umon listened to her words and said excitedly. (To be continued......)
