Chapter 15 Lotus Pond Reflecting the Moon (1/3, ask for recommendation votes!) )
Zhao Youqian didn't expect that there was only one guest in the Zhutian Pavilion today, and he could have practiced casually for a while, but because of his lack of mouth, he had to start a big project again.
Taking out all the stoves used to make the soup stock and the steamed chicken stock, since Zhao Youqian is determined to make a dish that satisfies Nu Liang, no matter how cumbersome the process is, there will be no lack of the slightest.
Pork bones, old hens, pigeons blanched and then added scallops, dried longan, peppercorns mixed and boiled together, this is the base of the broth, on the broth, with a steam pot layer upon layer, each layer is a different age of hens.
First the old hens, then the newly matured hens, and finally the young hens.
There wasn't even any seasoning in it, it was just chicken, and it was slowly steamed on the stove where the stock was boiled.
It didn't take long for a white mist to spread out in the Heavenly Pavilion.
It takes at least two hours of steaming to get the flavor, and when Zhao Youqian's hand didn't stop, he took out a piece of dough and kneaded it continuously, and even took out the Erniang rolling pin to help it rise.
It's just that this dough fermentation didn't use the technique of Bailuo snake chain turning, and it also strengthened Zhao Youqian's idea of getting points as soon as possible in exchange for cooking skills.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as cooking skills, and the only ones are not suitable for Zhao Youqian, either making desserts or dealing with fish, which is far from the knife skills or cooking skills that Zhao Youqian needs.
After touching the dough, there were obvious traces after pressing it, and knowing that it was almost the same, Zhao Youqian wrapped it and put it in the refrigerator.
Immediately, he took out winter bamboo shoots, carrots, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and other ingredients, some of the dried goods were soaked, and some were cut into shreds and soaked in ice water.
The kitchen knife kept making a 'da-da-da' cutting sound on the cutting board, and the rhythm was bright, which also made the slave who had been drinking a little distracted.
The Lord of the Spirits, who has always been wary of the Otherworld, doesn't trust this place much even after contact.
But being able to drink wine from another world is a bonus.
'What an interesting human being! ’
Nu Liang looked at Zhao Youqian's serious cooking, and finally noticed some subconscious traces of Zhao Youqian's technique, which were somewhat similar to the actions of those onmyoji who claimed to be the priests of the gods during the sacrifice.
Is this the secret that resonates between heaven and earth? And that power contained in the food, which makes all things quietly come together...'
Shaking his head slowly, Nu Liang knew that the manager of this strange place was not as ordinary as he looked.
At this moment, the wind chimes rang, and a familiar figure of a guest entered the Heavenly Pavilion.
Zhao Youqian also raised his head.
"Yo, it's the Heavenly Master here, please sit down, what do you want to eat today?"
With a movement of his nose, Zhang Zhiwei, the old heavenly master from the world under one person, had already sensed the aroma of soup in the air.
"The little store manager can do it, this soup tastes great!"
The old heavenly master, who had been cultivated into a gluttonous taste by Zhao Youqian's dishes, did not put on a shelf, but found a random place and sat down, his eyes glanced at the slave who was obviously inhuman, but he didn't care too much.
Even if you can't see the depth, for the Heavenly Master, it's just a matter of how long you fight.
A supreme self-confidence is not spoken, but a real battle and a kill!
What's more, since this place is known to gather the heavens and all worlds, it is too normal for some inhuman diners to appear, but he has also seen Nu Liang Slippery Scoop a few times, and every time he drinks silently by himself, without communicating or greeting.
Zhao Youqian didn't say anything, why did he bother to be this wicked person?
"Little shopkeeper, what are you going to do with this soup? It's good to give the old man a copy of the same! ”
"The old man doesn't pick!"
Somewhat surprised by the choice of the Heavenly Master, Zhao Youqian couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
"You don't have to pack today?"
Waving his hand, the Celestial Master showed a little embarrassment.
"It's enough, the old man's disciples and junior disciples are already saturated, and if you eat it again, it will be used as a general tonic, too much, too much!"
The Heavenly Master, who had already come several times, packed several dishes and left each time for his own apprentices and injured disciples to eat, no one knew that the cultivation of the disciples of Longhu Mountain had been improved by several grades.
Even the Heavenly Master himself has benefited a lot, you must know that before he packed, his mouth was not idle in the small restaurant.
If it weren't for teaching Zhao Youqian a lot of the methods of using Qi in various sects, the Heavenly Master wouldn't be embarrassed to do so, but Zhao Youqian himself didn't care.
Because every time the Celestial Master came, he got the most points.
This time, the Heavenly Pavilion also had something to talk to Zhao Youqian, but when he saw Nu Liang Slippery Scoop, he was not so embarrassed to speak at this time, so he simply ate something first and waited for Nu Liang Slippery Scoop to leave.
A few more glances at the slave slippery scoop, which made the Lord of the Dragons a little dissatisfied.
"Hmph, troublesome old human man!"
After drinking a glass of wine, Nu Liang said lightly.
"How long is the dish?"
chatting with the old heavenly master, Zhao Youqian forgot to cook for a while, but it was in the pre-stage, so it didn't matter.
After a haha, not wanting to make the grumpy Nu Liang slippery scoop angry, Zhao Youqian went directly back to the kitchen, checked the situation of the broth, and saw that the soup had begun to turn thick white because of the fire, and knew that the real stew had begun.
After calculating the time, it would take more than an hour, and he began to clean up another ingredient unhurriedly.
A delicate lotus flower!
The petals were torn off little by little by him, and put them in ice water to maintain the delicate and color, and the lotus seeds of the lotus pod in the middle were lifted out by him, and the fresh lotus seeds opened the green shell, removed the slightly bitter lotus core, and soon filled a small pot.
Then Zhao Youqian took out a bundle of ingredients from the refrigerator that only occasionally appeared at this time.
Lotus Ribbon!
In early summer, the lotus flower is in full bloom, but it also represents the emergence of the nascent lotus root ribbon of the lotus root.
Zhao Youqian's dish will use this ingredient to make up for the existence of lotus root, adding a more crisp, tender and sweet taste.
You must know that the lotus root will eventually carry a trace of silt and fishy smell, but the lotus root is a young lotus root that has just been born, has not bloomed, and has not yet become a leaf, so the lotus root will be fragrant and rich, crisp and sweet, and there is no earthy smell.
"Lotus belt? This is a good thing, but what do you want to cook, little manager? ”
Although Jiangxi Province, where the Heavenly Master is located, does not produce lotus roots, but this kind of ingredient has also been tasted, especially when I traveled to Wuhan, the sour and hot lotus roots in the countryside and the cold lotus roots are all good products!
"A noodle, a noodle called the lotus pond reflecting the moon!"
Raising his head, Zhao Youqian showed a hint of a smile, and the lotus root belts under his hands were also packed into cute ones of the same size and white appearance!
Before it is made, an enticing fragrance spreads out, even overshadowing the rich aroma of the unfinished broth!
