In the cave, the fire is warm.

A pot of medicinal soup was simmering on the fire, bubbling and exuding a strange fragrance.

You Po sat next to the fire and gently pushed the soup with a spoon while sprinkling something into it.

Bai Chang squatted on the ground next to him, sometimes filling some firewood into the stove, sometimes silently in a daze, and his thoughts didn't know where he had gone.

"Start your spirit." You Po suddenly slapped a spoon on Bai Chang's head and shouted: "It's not the time to sleep yet, you know, this soup is very particular about the heat, if the fire is urgent, the effect of the medicinal soup is excessively evaporated, if the fire is slow, the effect of the medicinal soup will not come out, do you still want to save the people of Tianshui Village?" ”

Bai Chang rubbed his head helplessly, and muttered, "The heat of the medicinal soup is not all mastered by fire......

"What do you say? Isn't it just the size of the fire? ”

"You are wrong, the size of the firepower must be mastered according to the raw materials of your ingredients, that is to say, the firepower and ingredients must be coordinated and decided."

When Bai Chang mentioned cooking, he couldn't help but feel energetic, and said with his fingers: "You must know that there are many kinds of raw materials in dishes, some are old, some are tender, some are hard, and some are soft, and the use of heat in cooking should be determined according to the texture of the raw materials." Soft, tender and brittle raw materials are mostly cooked quickly with high fire, and old, hard and tough raw materials are mostly cooked with low heat for a long time. However, if the texture and characteristics of the ingredients are changed through preliminary processing before cooking, then the use of heat should also be changed. ”

"For example, cutting the ingredients finely, removing the oil, blanching, etc., can shorten the cooking time. The amount of raw materials is also related to the size of the heat. The smaller the number, the weaker the firepower, and the shorter the time. The shape of the raw materials is also directly related to the use of heat, generally speaking, the shape of large pieces of raw materials in the cooking, due to the small heating area, it takes a long time to mature, so the fire should not be too hot. The raw materials with small shapes can be matured quickly because of their large heating area. ”

"There is also the way of fire transmission, the pots and pans used for cooking, the origin of the fire source, whether it is firewood, coal fire, oil fire, or gas fire. In addition, cooking techniques are closely related to the use of heat. Techniques such as stir-frying, exploding, cooking, and frying are mostly used to quickly produce fire. Techniques such as boiling, stewing, boiling, and simmering are mostly cooked over low heat for a long time. However, depending on the requirements of the dish, the use of heat for each cooking technique is not static. Only by combining various factors in cooking can the heat be used correctly. ”

"For example, stewed beef, shredded sweet potato, and fried lamb with green onions, these three dishes are ...... first when they are made."

Bai Chang continued to talk, You Po listened attentively, and suddenly slapped a spoonful on his head, and shouted: "The head is the Tao, I don't know how the craftsmanship is, let me ask you, the flying dragon soup I stewed last night added a lot of antidotes, but this flying dragon meat can't be cooked, what's going on?" ”

"Wyvern meat?" Bai Chang touched his nose and asked, "What is that, a dragon flying in the sky?" ”

He somehow remembered Qingxue, and chuckled in his heart, saying that You Po is the Holy Maiden of Miaojiang, and her witchcraft is profound, so she won't catch Qingxue from the sky and stew it, right?

"Miaojiang Flying Dragon, in fact, is just a kind of bird, resembling a flying dragon, very cherished, few people eat it, because its meat is difficult to stew, some people have tried, with three days and three nights, can not be stewed. Since what you say is so powerful, why don't you try it? ”

"Hehe, try it, try it, although I don't know what you are, but it didn't stew all night, it's almost as hard to stew as a bear's paw, at this time, you have to use some special methods."

"Hmph, I've been cooking all my life, and I've tried all kinds of methods, but it's useless."

"Well, it's going to be adapted to local conditions, think about it, since the flying dragon is very cherished, and no one has eaten it, and it's difficult to stew it, it's definitely useless to use ordinary methods. But I don't understand, if you want to save the people of Tianshui Village, does it have anything to do with this flying dragon meat? ”

"That's not it, I just think stewing a dish of dragon meat would be awesome......"

Bai Chang was speechless for a moment, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but he didn't see that this You Po, who was very powerful on the surface, was actually an innocent person in his heart.

But to be honest, if you want to stew this flying dragon meat, Bai Chang has no bottom at all, not to mention that he has a lot of materials at home and did not bring them.

"Mother-in-law, I have to think of a way, you come to light the fire first, I have to think about it for a while."

Bai Chang dropped the firewood in his hand and ran to the stone pier next to him and began to meditate.

You Po rolled her eyes, but didn't say anything, so she had to go to the fire.

For this stewed dragon meat, although Bai Chang has no experience, he has a toothy appetite, as long as he thinks about it, it is still possible to come up with a way.

Bai Chang sat on the stone pier and began to think.

In the Yiya Food Sutra, there are naturally all kinds of rare ingredients from the ancient flood and famine, and after Bai Chang searched for a while, he really found the flying dragon.

According to records, this flying dragon is a very special bird in Miaojiang, the ancestor is a kind of ancient giant bird and the hybrid descendant of the dragon, the appearance is very similar to the harrier eagle, but the chest muscles are plump, the neck bone is long and curved, like a dragon bone. The legs are short and feathered, and the abdomen has four claws with scales on them.

But the flying dragon is a bird of prey, which can give birth to cracked tigers and leopards, Bai Chang doesn't know how You Po caught this kind of thing, but in the Yiya Food Sutra, there is really a cooking method about the flying dragon meat.

In this world, every living thing actually has its own natural enemies, and even the species that stand at the top of the food chain have mutual restraints.

For example, the eagle soaring in the sky is the overlord of the birds, and no creature can threaten it, but it is often tamed by people and becomes a bird of prey raised by humans, hunting down prey for humans.

Similarly, although humans can raise falcons and put lions and tigers in cages for people to watch, if anyone dares to jump over the wall into the safari park without buying a ticket, and you are not negotiable whether they will be bumped into by a tiger or still eat.

The same is true of this flying dragon, which lives in Miaojiang, because the meat is delicate and delicious, and there are many people who have hunted flying dragons for food since ancient times.

It is recorded in the Yiya Food Sutra that in order to stew the flying dragon meat, two special ingredients must be added.

One is the scorching sun grass that grows on the cliff at the top of the Miaojiang Mountain, and the other is the icy water in the cold pool of Miaojiang for thousands of years.

Bai Chang thought about it for a long time, and finally found a way, but it seemed that it was difficult to find materials.

He raised his head and was about to tell You Po the good news, but he saw You Po staring at him nervously, with a look of hope.

Well?

Bai Chang's heart moved, this didn't seem to be quite right, if You Po just wanted to stew a flying dragon meat, then why did he look at himself with such eyes?

Bai Chang suddenly remembered that when he was a child, when he was learning to stew braised pork, Wang Erhua next door was lying outside the window, looking at his eyes, which was almost like this.

Could it be that You Po stewed this flying dragon meat for another purpose?
