Chapter 152: The Overlord Lifts the Crown
"A soft-shelled turtle, three taels of mung beans, a little rock sugar, and a chrysanthemum ......" In the kitchen of the mother nest, Aruba carefully checked the ingredients in front of him again.
There is no way, some of the ingredients used in this dish have not yet been opened on his farm.
It was he who broke his mouth and knew that he was emotional, moved with reason, splashed and rolled, and asked for it from the "kitchen god system" with an exception. It can be said that only success is allowed and no failure is allowed, which is why he is very careful.
Everything is ready to go.
Aruba propped up three cauldrons directly on the stove.
Put the processed soft-shelled turtle in one bite, first boil it to remove the fish, and then change the water to simmer and simmer. In the other bite, put the mung beans that have been soaked for a period of time together with rock sugar and simmer them directly. The last bite is to add chicken, scallops, pork ribs, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, etc., which are also slowly boiled.
"There's no problem that can't be solved with one food, and if it doesn't, then go on again." Aruba is in control of the heat of the ingredients, but also proud of his intelligence.
Yesterday, he discussed with Murphy and Edward for a long time, but they did not come up with a satisfactory result. So they decided to use their own methods to help Jia Kesi get out of the psychological shadow of homesickness.
And Aruba's first thought was to use food to cure the heart disease of Jiakesi.
For this reason, he specially begged the "Kitchen God System" to open temporary permissions for him, and harvested a batch of ingredients that could not be grown at the current level of the farm. He even spent ten times more Chef Gold to buy a new recipe that he couldn't buy with his current chef level.
"Well, it should be about the same." Aruba touched his chin and estimated the time.
"Up!" Aruba took a colander and quickly fished out the soft-shelled turtle from the first pot, shook it three times and drained it, and placed it in a hexagonal porcelain basin with a layer of ice cubes on the bottom mixed with a little rock sugar.
Then a bamboo skewer is used to penetrate the throat of the soft-shelled turtle and break out of the skull, and a pointed section emerges on the top of the head. Under the support of bamboo sticks, the soft-shelled turtle looks up at the sky.
Then remove the mung beans from the second pot, drain them as well, and spread them evenly around the soft-shelled turtle.
Before coming to the third pot, Aruba took a deep breath, and for a moment felt a rich aroma of meat coming to his nose, and almost drooled down.
Aruba quickly slurred his saliva twice, for fear that his saliva would drip into the soup and destroy the original flavor of the soup.
He carefully poured the soup from the pot into a large bowl, then took gauze to seal the mouth of the bowl, and then poured the soup from the bowl into another bowl. Repeat this several times until the soup is strained and clear as water.
Aruba took a daisy and inserted it into the bamboo skewer on the top of the turtle's head, and then slowly poured the strained broth into the porcelain basin.
When the cold ice cubes and the boiling broth meet, a large amount of white water vapor suddenly rises in the basin.
At the bottom of the pot are round and turquoise mung beans, like agate immersed in the bottom of the water. A soft-shelled turtle in the water raised its head slightly, as if it wanted to stretch its head out of the water to breathe, but it was blocked by a chrysanthemum floating from nowhere, coupled with the ethereal mist on the water surface and the hexagonal shape of the porcelain basin. At first glance, there is an artistic conception of an ancient well hiding a turtle.
"Perfect!" Aruba admired his masterpiece with satisfaction.
He believed that after tasting the food he had made for him, he would be able to forget the troubles of homesickness.
At the same time, there was a faint burst of wild laughter in the laboratory of the Murphy Thunder Tower: "Hahahaha... Should... Should... Die... Ha ha... Measure... Do... Ha ha...... Wrong... ......"
ββββββββββ shameless dividing lineββββββββββ
The sky was slightly bright, and the Enlightenment Lin Zhongjia Kesi let out a sigh, put the brass lamppost behind him, and completed the cultivation this morning.
Just as he turned to walk into the Enlightenment Tower, Aruba's round figure appeared at the entrance of the bamboo forest.
"This is the surprise you came to me early in the morning?" Gallos glanced at Aruba, then at the peculiar hexagonal porcelain basin in the center of the table.
"yes, yes." Aruba nodded quickly as he stepped forward and gently lifted the lid.
As the lid opened, a white mist spread along the rim.
"This 'Overlord Lifting' is a dish I specially made for you!" Aruba said with a smug face.
"What? Is this your new dish? Hearing Aruba's words, Gallos instantly reflexively took a step back, and at the same time, his mind began to think wildly about a reason for refusing that would not hurt Aruba.
"You don't know, I took a lot of effort to get this recipe and ingredients from the system." Aruba in front didn't notice the small movements of Jia Kesi behind him, and continued to say triumphantly.
"It turned out to be the work of the system." Jia Kesi muttered in his heart, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The system is produced and must be a high-quality product. This reassures him, but also inevitably raises some expectations.
The white mist dissipated, and the scene in the basin was instantly in full view.
A pool of clear water occupies two-thirds of the volume of the entire pot, and a pink chrysanthemum is quietly blooming on the clear water. A soft-shelled turtle lurks in the water, and its head is slightly raised against the chrysanthemum, so that the chrysanthemum does not sink into the water. At the bottom of the pot, turquoise beads are spread around the soft-shelled turtle.
"I'll go! What is the 'overlord lifting the crown', this is clearly the 'top chrysanthemum king eight'! Jia Kesi secretly complained in his heart.
"Taste it while it's hot." Aruba took out a spoon and handed it to Jiakesi.
"Okay." Carcos took the spoon and gently scooped a spoonful of watery soup into his mouth.
"How's it taste?" Aluba looked at Jia Kesi expectantly and asked.
Jia Kesi slurred his mouth twice and opened his mouth slightly. Just when Aruba thought he was going to make a comment, another spoonful of soup was put into his mouth, followed by another spoonful......
The soup in the basin decreased rapidly, until it was almost past the instep of the soft-shelled turtle in the basin.
"Fresh!" Jia Kesi, who drank the whole pot of soup in one go, slowly spit out a word from his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Aruba let out a smug laugh, "Of course, don't look at the clarity of the soup." However, I used a variety of ingredients such as chicken, scallops, pork ribs, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms to achieve the ultimate umami flavor and filtered it many times. β
"I see." Jia Ke nodded thoughtfully, and once again stretched out the spoon to the soft-shelled turtle in the basin.
The tender and juicy taste makes Jia Kesi's eyes shine, and even the skirt on the back shell is melt-in-your-mouth.
Finally, the mung beans laid on the bottom of the pot are also delicate and refreshing, slightly iced and sweet, and they wash away the greasy feeling of eating in the mouth before.
"How? What do you think? Do you feel like you're in a much better mood? Aruba saw that Jia Kesi had finished eating, and couldn't wait to come forward and ask.
Aruba's question made Jia Kesi slightly stunned.
A chef doesn't care about the diner's evaluation of the food after the diner has finished eating, but cares about the mood of the diner first?
However, when Jia Kesi thought of the visit of the mayor of the town yesterday, he quickly reacted. For a while, I only felt a warmth in my heart, and I couldn't help but get closer to Aruba's eyes.
"Mood ......," said Cookos, who paused abruptly, just because he suddenly wanted to make a little joke with Aruba.
ββ¦β¦ It's not good, it could have been okay, but after eating this dish, I didn't feel good. β
"Huh?" This time it was Aruba's turn to be stunned.
"No...... Impossible? Aruba scratched his round head with his hand, puzzled.
"Could it be that I got some step wrong in the cooking process?" For a moment, Aruba fell into deep thought, and his mind began to remember what had gone wrong in the previous production process.
"I don't know if the steps are wrong. However, this 'Overlord Lifting' dish is the best dish I've ever had. However, because it was so delicious, I didn't know when I would be able to eat the next meal when I thought about it, so my mood instantly became bad. Jia Kesi smiled and continued.
"So that's because of this!" When Aruba heard that there was not a problem with the cooking, he immediately sobered up from his memories.
"Haha, as long as you like it, I can be in the future... ...... Aruba was stuck in the middle of his words, as he suddenly remembered that the ingredients used in this meal were not existing on the farm.
"Aruba, I have received your heart." As if sensing Aruba's embarrassment, Jacos stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you haven't started breeding soft-shelled turtles on your farm yet."
"Hmm." Aruba nodded his head in embarrassment.
"Thank you, Aruba. I had a great time, really. Jia Kesi looked at Aruba and said solemnly.
"Hmm!" Feeling the sincerity in Jia Kesi's words, Aruba nodded heavily, a sincere smile on his face.
At the same time, Aruba also decided that he must work hard to take care of the farm after returning and unlock the two ingredients of soft-shelled turtle and mung beans as soon as possible.
