The world of "China Ichiban", the mansion of Lei Hua.

In front of Xia Yan, in a flat basket woven of bamboo, a long, leafy plant branch was placed.

The rhizome of the branch has a yellowish-brown skin, and at first glance, it is thought to be an unpeeled yam root.

The leaves, as wide as the palm of the hand, the leaf surface is full of lines, Xia Yan picked a piece, put it into his mouth to chew, and there was a click:

"I feel like I'm eating lettuce."

This is Xia Yan's personal experience.

The leaves themselves don't have a very strong flavor, but they are better than the texture, and if they are stuffed in a square bread, as a vegetable layer for sandwiches, they can also add a lot of color to daily snacks.

Xia Yan's gaze swept to the fruits on the branches, some of which were bright red and some were half green and half red.

The air is faintly wafting with the sweet smell of the wind.

This is the fruit of the "carnivorous vine".

The Lost Delicacy, the second in a series of quests, names him and asks him to go to the mysterious side ingredients that have been successfully used in cooking.

Of course, let's not talk about the fruit first, let's talk about the rhizome part, which is ground into dust and used instead of flour, Xia Yan has already put it into practice on the new power-enhanced version of "Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot".

The results are quite gratifying, the board of directors and Kojiro Shinomiya, a group of guinea pigs with good status, have all been praised, and the cooking log can also directly prove that Xia Yan's use of the rhizome part has probably passed the entry stage, and it is gradually becoming more and more perfect.

"Are these the natural sweet jelly of the elves?"

Xia Yan picked all the fruits, as for the method of identifying the quality of the fruits, it is wonderful, his "vision" and "vision" seem to have awakened some characteristics since the second trip to the "Otherworld Canteen", and his eyes swept over, and he could easily observe these mysterious, magical-oriented ingredients, and when they tend to ripen, the lingering glimmer of light.

'Magical Aura'.

Anyway, that's what Xia Yan called, he is not a serious scholar, and he still knows a little about the world on the other side of the "door", so the name and name have always been as convenient as they are.

Pick a fruit with the most radiance, and you don't need to wash it, you can take it in your hand and rub it a few times, and then throw it into your mouth.

Click!

The juice doesn't burst out, but slowly melts on the tongue.

Like a piece of sweet ice jelly.

This taste suddenly made Xia Yan's mind flash:

"I feel like I'm eating apple pie!"

When it comes to dim sum in the form of "pie", Xia Yan's mind comes up with a golden crispy crust and a thick, semi-curded filling.

Ha.

This is the most basic but also very classic dim sum recipe, right?

Xia Yan decided to practice and not miss this inspiration.

It just so happens that the "carnivorous vine" fruit is mashed directly into a bowl and pureed, so it is very convenient to break it without using a food processor.

Next, it's a simple seasoning of the jam.

caster sugar, lemon juice.

Well......

There is also less "starch" that thickens and improves the taste, and corn flour is commonly used.

However, Xia Yan was here, inexplicably stopped, and glanced at the rhizome part of the "carnivorous vine".

In the power-enhanced version of "Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot".

His use of rhizome powder is precisely to replace certain starches and use them in the preparation of balls.

In this way, draw inferences.

In jam, it seems that using carnivorous vine rhizome powder is the right thing to do!

Do what you think!

Xia Yan buys ready-made rhizome powder directly from the system, and then further stirs to prepare the semi-finished jam.

Immediately, put the semi-finished product in a pot and boil it over low heat.

Cook until completely dehydrated and thick!

……

In fact, today is the third day that Xia Yan has stayed in the mansion.

Ann is incredible!

Lei Hua crossed the door wall and walked to this well-equipped courtyard, seeing that the smoke had risen high, his face was strange, and he was talking to himself to give such an evaluation.

I thought it was a little demon king in the mixed world who tended to the shadow of 'Kaiyu', but who knew that after moving in, he simply regarded this as a retreat paradise isolated from the world. As the owner of the mansion, and the thunder flower who thinks he has created a shelter for him, the mood is really delicate.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, my footsteps stopped.

Hey?

The nose catches a lingering sweet smell.

Quite a compound taste, sour, sweet, fragrant, Lei Hua's brain was stunned for two seconds before he whispered in confusion: "What is this?" ”

Not in her gourmet cookbook, knowledge blind spot!

Suddenly, Lei Hua seemed to recall the dish called "Jizi Shrimp Soup and Meat Soup" at the 'Dark Ring' not long ago.

Unknown colorful lobster.

Unknown delicate tail meat.

By the two dark kings of Yakan and Yan Xian, they were rated as 'extremely fresh' and 'extremely meat'!

And this time, in which direction is the pole word?

Lei Hua swallowed.

In the "dark ring", she could only be a spectator, and she had no chance to taste "extremely fresh" and "extremely meat", her heartstrings tightened, and she had unfamiliar emotions.

Xia Yan, who was boiling jam, heard a slight footstep approaching behind him, and then the voice of Lei Hua sounded:

"Is this "boiling" and "refining"?"

"Boil, refine." Xia Yan nodded, staring intently at the small flame at the bottom of the pot.

"It's a pity—" he sighed suddenly.

"What a pity?"

Lei Hua was already standing in front of the stove, beside him.

"This stove, the heat is not easy to control, not fine enough." Xia Yan just said it simply.

Originally, he planned to find out the temperature range for the carnivorous vine berries to be boiled and solidify the sugar in practice, and memorize the exact value as a cooking experience, so that when he made jam again in the future, he would basically play steadily and make no mistakes again in the heat refining process.

If it is not the place and time node sensitive.

Xia Yan is more than happy to return to the world of halberds and use the modern professional kitchen facilities in the department's cooking room to do some research on new dishes.

"Click!"

The dark passage is almost hot, and the whole pot is carried away.

However, without rushing to uncover the pot immediately, Xia Yan continued to stare at the small pot, as if trying to capture the temperature change of the jam inside through the "one pot".

About a quarter of an hour later.

"That's it." Xia Yan lifted the pot at this time, and the silver spoon picked out a ball of bright red jam full of thickness, and then the whole spoon sank to the bottom of a bowl of water on the stove.

From the perspective of Thunder Flower.

The young chef, with serious eyes, observed the changes in the jam after it was soaked in water, second by second.

A few minutes passed.

The jam still hasn't melted in cold water.

Xia Yan couldn't help but praise: "Very good, the gel effect is perfect, the jam is made!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that it had just been cooked, he unhurriedly put the jam into a sealed crockpot and planned to store it for rest.

"Wait—"

Lei Hua suddenly spoke.

Xia Yan, who was about to roll out the noodles, cast a surprised gaze, and saw the female celebrity chef with a fresh and novel smile on her face, pointing to the crockpot and jam placed on the table to rest, "This kind of practice of refining to complete dehydration is quite rare." ”

"It's just that in this way, the fruit will also be destroyed."

"In order to pursue convenient preservation, but to give up many of the advantages of fresh fruit, so that the finished product that loses too much flavor is put in the cooking of a special dish, I am afraid that it is disqualified!"

As the words fell, Lei Hua saw Xia Yan suddenly turn her head and look around for something.

Syllable.

Suddenly slapped his forehead, Xia Yan said to himself: "There is no square slice of bread!" ”

Glance at it.

I had to pick up a white-flour steamed bun on the cooking table, cut it with a knife, and add a few spoonfuls of freshly boiled jam to it.
