Wang Youcai returned to the back kitchen of Bafang Building dejectedly, but he really didn't have the courage to tell Xue Mingfang the fact that he only brought back a few sardines.

"Lao Wang, what did you bring back?"

Afraid of something, Wang Youcai trembled in his heart when he heard this voice.

The owner of the voice was not Young Master Xue, but Xue Zhen.

"Old... Boss, why are you here... I... I..."

Xue Zhen wore a white silk robe, which was somewhat similar to the practice clothes, loose and comfortable.

Whiter than silk was Xue Zhen's face, which was full of aging and gray in the whiteness.

In just over half a month, the wrinkles at the corners of Xue Zhen's eyes have almost doubled, and his eye sockets are deeply sunken and bloodshot.

The light in his eyes was dry and rough, with a kind of grasping scrutiny.

"I went out and forgot what to say?"

Xue Zhen put his hands behind his back, and his thin arms were rougher than those of old vines.

Wang Youcai nodded and smiled,

"Boss, the sea is closed today, that damn penguin has attracted humpback whales, the big ship at sea can't pass, what do you want... It's gone. ”

Xue Zhen nodded, looking at him with his eyes, "So, you're back?" ”

“... Yes, it is. Wang Youcai swallowed.

A cold smile appeared on Xue Zhen's face, pointing to the box of sardines with a pungent smell of sea.

"And what is this?"

"Sardines."

"How?"

"There are small fishing boats back, and the only seafood is sardines and conch oysters, and I have brought them back."

"The boat can come back, so can it get out?"

Wang Youcai said astringently,

"Could it be... Yes. ”

"And what do you mean when you bring back a box of garbage? I'm Bafanglou, can I only give customers this kind of garbage? ”

"No... Nope..."

Xue Zhen snorted coldly,

"Rent twenty speedboats at a high price to get the goods on the big ship, the money, it doesn't matter, go out to the point where those ship owners can work hard, and bring back the goods I want without falling."

"Yes..."

Wang Youcai turned around and trotted away, and before he could go out, he heard Xue Zhen say in a deep voice, "Take your box of garbage with you!" ”

"Yes, yes..."

A waiter hurried into the back kitchen,

"Boss, the guests of Yinfeng Pavilion are urging food, what should I do?"

"Got it, you go out first, take out the Pu'er tea bricks in my study, and make a pot for the guests."

"Yes."

The guest at that table ordered a rare second-order marine fish, one fish and two eats, made into fish slip and fish fillet, respectively, and the food is a tender and refreshing taste.

But......

Xue Zhen's eyes scanned the ingredients in the kitchen, and his brows furrowed higher and higher.

The rule of Bafang House is that the ingredients are made from overnight to freshly made to ensure perfect freshness.

It's just that even Xue Zhen himself didn't expect that the scale of this penguin migration was so huge that even the base city would be affected by it.

Xue Zhen is the old chef in the end, and the scale of the Bafang Building is so huge, the means are necessary.

Besides, the time has already been lost, and it is no longer important whether the fish can be served or not, the important thing is that there must be a dish, and there must be enough portions to be able to suppress the mouths of the guests.

Xue Zhen took a yellow-green pomelo from the countertop, which was a sweet Sha Tin pomelo.

The perfect pear-shaped shape of yellow and green, with a radial texture in the ring-shaped circle the size of a copper coin at the bottom, is called the money bottom, which also means good quality.

Xue Zhen used to scratch the surface of the pomelo peel a few times, and with a little force, the two halves of the round pomelo peel were taken off.

The pomelo peel is two fingers wide, white and flawless, soft and dense, and the inner fiber is long and 100 knots.

Build a charcoal stove, roast the yellow-green pomelo peel with a red charcoal fire, and wait until the surface is slightly black, and the mist and moisture can be volatilized to a certain extent.

Scrape the roasted pomelo peel off the hard skin on the surface and thin the inside, leaving only half of the thickness.

After cutting it into two centimeters of evenly thick slices, it is put into the soup stock of ham, scallops and old hens that are always prepared in the kitchen.

The color of the pomelo peel is dyed after it is blanched, and the whole shows an almost imperceptible green color.

The first ripe pomelo peel is still slightly bitter, so you need to squeeze out the soup by hand, wrap it in a waterproof cloth and put it in ice cubes to chill.

Sha Tin pomelo is not common in Mingguang, but it is not rare and not very valuable.

At this time, Xue Zhen needed to ask for the secret treasure he had obtained from others, a bowl of very bright red "pigment", which was even more moving than the colorful glow on the edge of the ancient sky.

This is the egg of a small freshwater crab, and its scientific name is the cockroach crab, of course, people prefer to call it Liyunzi.

The cockroach is very timid and likes to hold its two thick front chelas together to threaten enemies and protect itself.

This form is just like the etiquette of the ancients when they met, so an anonymous celebrity gave the nickname of "Liyun" to the cockroach, and applied it to "Liyun Liyun, jade silk cloud?" Joy clouds, bells and drums?" In a word.

Only the climate anomalies after the cataclysm can allow these precious little things, which only appear for three days in spring, to interact with pomelo peels in autumn.

In ancient times, twenty days before the Qingming Festival, the eggs of the cockroach hanging under the abdomen began to mature, and they were originally black-brown.

Because it is exposed under the belly of the cockroach, it carries a lot of sediment impurities, so it should be filtered and cleaned repeatedly in a cotton bag.

After cooking, it can be transformed into such a magnificent appearance, and people call it Liyunzi, or Cockroach Spring.

It is a combination of salty, fresh, sweet, and flavorful aquatic products, and has a very fine chewy feeling, but it is not rough and difficult to swallow, and this is the Liyunzi that is regarded as the ultimate ingredient.

As an adjunct to the dish, just a little bit of it can be used as the finishing touch, greatly enhancing the original taste of other ingredients.

Liyunzi and pomelo peel are fried together and have a common name, which is called autumn and spring, also known as old and pretty.

Boil half a spoonful of broth, add ice to the pomelo peel and cook in water, a little salt and a spoonful of Liyunzi into the pot, and the unique aroma immediately bursts out between the pots and spoons.

After the pomelo peel has absorbed the milky white broth for the second time, the liyunzi will also hang on the pomelo peel, a little thickening, and sprinkle the finely chopped shallots out of the pot.

Xue Zhen cut a few pieces of bitter gourd that were more emerald green after blanching, and after chilling, they were placed on the edge of the white porcelain plate of Liyunzi fried pomelo peel in turn, which was pure white, bright red and tender green, and gathered together.

"Not bad."

Xue Zhen nodded at the plate, and his tense face finally relaxed a little.

The guests at that table were related to Xue Mingyang's fate, and he had to wait for them.

Xue Zhen's craftsmanship, which was easy not to get into the kitchen, was not unfamiliar, and the movements were smooth and orderly, and the fragrance overflowed after the dish was completed, which made him very satisfied.

As if thinking of something, Xue Zhen sighed unconsciously.

wiped his hands, personally took this plate of Liyunzi fried pomelo peel and left the kitchen, and walked towards Yinfeng Pavilion.
