Chapter 22: Yin and Yang Mill
The gradually increasing temperature of the soup pot and the beginning of the cloudy water color indicate that the impurities in the body of the black-bone chicken are brought out by the increasing water temperature and those parts that are difficult to remove by hand.
After Zhao Youqian put the black feather black-bone chicken into the soup pot, he kept the pot of soup step by step, carefully observing the changes in the soup.
The ingredients that are carefully raised are naturally taken into account when cooking.
It wasn't until the impurities mixed in the soup gradually floated on the surface of the water, and began to appear sporadically with some golden chicken fat, that Zhao Youqian started his other actions.
Apparently satisfied with this pot of soup.
After all, he didn't know what level the person who handled the black-feathered black-bone chicken was, and when he slowly felt the inside of the chicken with his hands rubbing with his cooking heart, he could only notice that the meat quality and freshness were basically good.
Now looking at the impurities in the water, you know that the person who handled this chicken is a veteran, and the hair and internal organs are neatly removed without unnecessary scars on the body, and most of the residual blood is released when the chicken blood is removed.
"It's okay to stand there?"
"Then take an oil strainer and go and remove all the impurities from the soup noodles!"
Zhao Youqian's voice suddenly sounded, which made Tsuchinomiya Kagura feel excited.
"Well... Okay..."
There is no idea of resistance, this kind of simple work, Tsuchinomiya Kagura can still cope with it, and Zhao Youqian can also deal with other ingredients in his spare time.
When he came to the soup pot, he held a strainer in his hand, carefully beating the impurities on the soup noodles, seeing that the soup was getting clearer and clearer, Tsuchinomiya Kagura saw that Zhao Youqian didn't seem to be completely immersed in cooking.
I couldn't help but whisper.
"Brother Youqian, my sister she..."
Rarely stopped what he was doing, Zhao Youqian turned his head to look at the little white rabbit who was now injured, exuding cowardice all over her body.
"Don't worry, I'm here, and if I die, I will be saved with Meng Po soup!"
However, Zhao Youqian, who would not comfort people, simply gave his promise.
Then I didn't look at Tsuchinomiya Kagura anymore, and the feeling of being watched was actually quite uncomfortable.
"Hmm..."
I don't know if it's because of Zhao Youqian's categorical cuts or what, Tsuchinomiya Kagura has found the backbone anyway, lowered his head and began to scoop out all the impurities on the soup noodles according to Zhao Youqian's instructions, so that after Zhao Youqian finished processing the other ingredients for the stew, the soup pot he saw was exceptionally clear.
"Well done!"
couldn't help but pat Tsuchinomiya Kagura's little head, Zhao Youqian wiped his hands again, and then put some of the remaining ingredients into the chicken soup.
"Don't the ingredients of Brother Youqian's general soup need to be blanched? I think you are stewed straight to the soup, huh? ”
With the bottom in his heart, Tsuchinomiya Kagura began to look for other topics to ask.
Zhao Youqian didn't mind explaining a thing or two to the little girl.
"Your sister's situation is different, and the way of stewing soup is also different, if there are many and mixed ingredients, it is easy to mix the flavors of several ingredients without blanching, resulting in an excessive fishy smell."
"But if there are only one or two main ingredients, if the ingredients are fresh enough and the processing is clean enough, you can simply skim off the excess impurities."
"This preserves the most nutrients in the food and doesn't lose a single bit."
These words made Tsuchinomiya Kagura nod, and also let her know her sister's current situation, even if it is to make soup, it needs complete ingredient energy, which is not a very good state.
After looking at the soup pot slightly, Zhao Youqian put all the ingredients in his hand into it.
Generally speaking, some people will wrap it in a gauze bag because they are worried that other ingredients will spoil the taste of the soup, but Zhao Youqian didn't need it this time.
Angelica, red dates, white peppercorns, astragalus, codonopsis, and ingredients rarely used in chicken soup, lotus root, barley.
All of them were thrown into the soup pot by him, and the amount of each item was not much, but it added up to a lot.
"After these things are cooked, the nutrients in the chicken soup will be sublimated, and it is exactly half of the soup base of my Tai Chi Yin and Yang soup!"
Obviously, Tsuchinomiya Kagura didn't expect Zhao Youqian's action to be only half of the soup base.
And Zhao Youqian took out another soup pot and put the pig's bones into it.
This ingredient is not so special, Zhao Youqian also used the traditional method this time, first blanching green onions and ginger, and then taking them out and washing them and then stewing them again, instead of stewing directly like black feather black-bone chicken.
The only difference is that the ingredients that accompany this tube of bones to stew together are different.
Corn, Huaishan, white radish, celery.
It is rare that no medicinal herbs are used, and no other auxiliary materials are used, but simply stewed with several vegetable ingredients and tube bones.
And immediately after the pot is boiled, it turns to low heat, and you can only occasionally see the bubbles boiling and gushing up at the bottom of the soup pot.
It also represents Zhao Youqian's requirements for this soup.
Crisp consommé!
Two different ingredients, different soups, all in one dish.
Tsuchinomiya Kagura still doesn't know what kind of technique Zhao Youqian is going to use.
"It's impossible for your sister's body to withstand a big supplement, but it can't be done without supplementation, you have to digest the spiritual power in her body and the evil qi on the residual killing stone, and too weak ingredients can't do it."
"So I used the artistic conception of yin and yang balance to construct this dish."
"Long and long nourishment, you eliminate a section, the next section is made up, continue to eliminate, continue to make up, the seemingly gentle power continues to rotate, just like a big grinding plate, all those harmful evil qi are consumed."
Zhao Youqian saw that the two broths began to simmer, and he didn't mean to deal with other ingredients, after all, this dish is really simple to say, and it is very difficult to say that it is difficult.
"Yin and Yang Great Mill?"
Tsuchinomiya Kagura chewed on the meaning of Zhao Youqian's words, and there was some understanding.
"So it's to use a more gentle, peaceful, but continuous energy to eliminate the abnormal force in my sister's body?"
Nodding, Zhao Youqian looked at the soup stock that kept growing two balls of white smoke.
"It's almost such an idea, but whether it can succeed or not depends on Huangquan's own willpower!"
I have a very clear understanding of my own cuisine, and this kind of cuisine with Huainan tofu of the dream ingredient level can naturally enter the Lin-level cuisine.
But whether she can successfully wake up Isayama Huangquan depends on herself.
The killing stone is embedded in the spirit body, and the impact of that evil qi, even if Zhao Youqian finds a patch to stabilize her spirit body later, the first impact will not disappear.
Whether she can completely stabilize her consciousness depends on whether Isayama Huangquan is enough to make her worry about splitting the Shura Dao.
But it's too early to tell...
Zhao Youqian set his eyes on the two pots of boiling broth, and then began to process two kinds of mushrooms, which was also the foundation that determined the success of his soup...
