25. Old man Ma's curry chicken steak rice
Feng Lingzun's worries are not false, over the years, the Xuanmen sect has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and its rise is faster than the imagination of a sect similar to Baijian Mountain. The Xuanmen recruits disciples once every five years, and each time it can recruit hundreds of highly talented disciples.
There is an old monster in the late stage of Jindan in the Xuanmen, which is also their hole card. In the later stage of Jindan, it can be said that it is the highest cultivation on this piece of the road, and it is said that this old monster in the later stage of Jindan is breaking through Jindan, which is why Xuanmen will choose to adjust the time for the sect to recruit disciples to once every five years, in order to prevent the old monster from breaking through and flying to the heavenly realm when there is a hole in the Xuanmen, and many sects are already waiting for the opportunity to carve up the Xuanmen.
With the precedent of Xuanmen, many sects have also changed the time for recruiting disciples.
Baijian Mountain, as a well-known old sect, naturally would not do such a thing, which would damage the image of the sect.
But it is precisely because of this that those disciples with high potential talents have passed away and entered other sects, and the reputation of Baijian Mountain has gradually been suppressed, and now except for ordinary people in the surrounding area who will come to seek the immortal path, there are not many people who are willing to travel far to visit.
Although he knew that if he continued like this, Baijian Mountain would die sooner or later, but this was an ancient tradition, and Feng Lingzun also wanted to change this status quo, but didn't he still have those few Jin Dan antiques on his head to press him?
"Senior brother, you're really early."
Elder Xiao Mei, dressed in a purple robe, slowly walked in from the door.
"Master!" "Master!" ……
The disciples said respectfully, and Ma Xiao also woke up from his fantasy and said respectfully.
Xiao Mei's appearance is very young, there is a beauty mole in the corner of her right eye, and her posture is also very beautiful, it is really difficult to guess how old she is this year.
"In the sect, you must not ask about Elder Xiao Mei's age."
This is when cleaning, Ouyang Jun to the horse.
At that time, Ma Xiao just casually asked about Xiao Mei's age, but Ouyang Jun was very nervous.
It's just an age, so what's not to ask?
Ma Xiao was puzzled by this.
"Senior sister, you're here too."
Feng Lingzun's gaze shifted from the curry chicken steak rice in front of him to Xiao Mei, with a little reluctance in his eyes.
"Senior brother, it seems that compared to the food in front of you, junior sister, my charm is much less."
Xiao Mei looked at Feng Lingzun coldly and said, the coldness in it made the audience cold, let alone Feng Lingzun who was directly looked at by her.
Feng Lingzun could only smile bitterly and was silent.
Just now, his eyes were indeed all on the food in front of him.
"Hmph."
Elder Xiao Mei snorted softly, and then walked to the position directly opposite Feng Lingzun with graceful steps and sat down.
She no longer looked at Feng Lingzun's body, but at the plates of rice.
The pungent aroma of curry hit her nose, and she swallowed unconsciously.
The last time I smelled such a good smell was a few years ago.
Xiao Mei couldn't help but recall the food she had eaten when she went down the mountain before, even the simplest shredded potatoes were a hundred times more delicious than those four disciples in the Sword Sect, the shredded potatoes they made couldn't be described as shredded potatoes, they were simply mashed potatoes, they were so badly cooked, and after so many years, they hadn't made any progress at all.
Xiao Mei decided not to think about that anymore, and looked carefully at the plate of curry chicken steak rice in front of her, she had never seen this kind of large plate of rice, and this smell was also the first time she asked, which was also what surprised her, because she didn't swallow because she knew how delicious this plate of rice was, but because of this very strange smell.
"What's this plate of rice called?"
Xiao Mei looked at her few poor disciples, only to see that several of them looked at each other and finally looked at Ma Xiao.
Xiao Mei immediately knew who this plate of rice was from, although she chose between two people from the beginning.
In this way, I remember that Lihuo mentioned that Ma Zhiyuan's family opened a restaurant.
"Back to Elder Xiao Mei, this plate of rice is called curry chicken steak rice."
Ma Xiaoao replied proudly, when he talked about cooking, he seemed to be a different person, and his previous shyness was gone.
"Curry? What is Curry? Is it the seasoning on this rice? ”
Xiao Mei asked, pointing to the yellow curry sauce that covered half a bowl of rice.
"That's right. This curry is a simplified version of my grandfather's handover, and many of the ingredients of the authentic curry are only available in the southeast, and I have only eaten it twice. I have turmeric, coriander seeds, chili peppers, cumin, cumin, white pepper, peppercorns and other spices, according to personal preferences according to a certain proportion of mashed as fine as you can, the best is to be pounded into powder, with a strainer to filter out the untamed. After that, it is boiled in water, and the curry powder becomes a curry sauce. ”
Ma Dao was still pounding in his hands, and it could be seen that this action required a lot of effort and energy.
"But this time the curry also has beets in it, so the taste is more in line with the public's taste, and it is not very spicy."
"It is worthy of being the grandson of the old man, and his cooking skills are also superb."
"Elder Lihuo."
The disciples greeted.
A middle-aged man clapped his hands and came in, wasn't that slightly fat figure the Elder Lihuo?
Lihuo was not wearing a Taoist robe today, but wearing his civilian clothes.
"Lihuo, didn't Senior Brother Ming come with you?"
Feng Lingzun asked.
"Isn't this a new disciple? Elder Ming took them to get used to the food. Tsk, it's good that I'm here, otherwise I'd have missed this big meal. It is estimated that the two of them will not come. ”
Lihuo smiled and found a seat next to Feng Lingzun and sat down.
"It's chicken curry and rice. Good stuff, good stuff. Well, this scent, I haven't smelled it in a long time. The last time I smelled it was a few decades ago, and it's really nostalgic. ”
Lihuo sighed as he took a long sip of the curry aroma through his nose.
"Off the fire, have you eaten this curry chicken steak rice?"
Xiao Mei asked.
"It's a ......long story to talk about decades ago, and it's a long story."
Lihuo's eyes seemed to be looking at what had happened in the past.
"Whoever asks you that, it's just asking if you've eaten it, don't talk that nonsense."
Xiao Mei's eyes were cold, and she warned Lihuo not to pull the topic to something that had nothing to do with this.
"Ahem. Back then, I was fortunate enough to eat curry rice made by Mr. Ma. The curry rice made by Mr. Ma has an attractive aroma, spicy and sweet, which makes people want to come to a second bowl after eating one bowl, and the strong aroma of the curry will remain in the mouth for a long time after eating. This chicken steak cannot be eaten alone, it is best to cut it into strips or chunks with a knife, and then stick this curry and send it to your mouth, you will find that the chicken and the curry will have a perfect fusion, giving you the illusion that the chicken will melt in your mouth, and the chicken skin will have a fried panel bran, that texture, crispy! Fragrant! The texture of the chicken is distinct and will not be greasy. Don't talk about it, let's get started. ”
