Chapter 144: Luo He: Stove, Stove Jun?!

Master Haiyue lost to a little-known rookie in the breeder world, which caused a lot of sensation in the circle.

On the Internet, a good deed person posted a video of Luo He making "pagoda meat" on the spot yesterday, and the number of views soon exceeded 10,000.

"This dish is actually made of winter melon? It's amazing! ”

"He can still make miniature carvings on dishes?"

"This knife work is outrageous!"

"As we all know, trainers are just a side hustle, and cooks are the old business of this rookie king!"

That night, after all the schedules of the cooking competition were over, Luo He received a contact from Xia Miao.

"Can you talk about your thoughts on defeating a strong enemy and obtaining the right to be the chef of the 'Sacrificial Stove Ceremony'?"

Xia Miao learned the tone of the hostess and asked seriously.

Luo He followed the stubble and talked:

"Thank you to the Hunters Club for giving me the opportunity to participate in this cooking competition, and thank the organization for cultivating me ......."

In a paragraph, he thanked the two organizations, which did not leak, and Chef Luo praised his emotional intelligence.

"Well, you don't have to show loyalty at this time."

Xia Miao interrupted with a smile, a little surprised, and said, "I said, where did you learn this kind of knife work?" Have you eaten the fruit of the cook's move? ”

Luo He's 'Winter Melon Pagoda Meat' showed extremely high attainments in knife work, and Xia Miao thought to herself that she was difficult to compare.

But knife work has always needed to accumulate bit by bit, Luo He is only eighteen years old, how to master such a miraculous knife work?

Luo He took out the old rhetoric: "I have awakened the talent related to cooking. ”

Xia Miao accepted this statement and did not delve into it, after all, her attainments in the field of spices were also closely related to the talent of trainers.

Immediately, Xia Miao talked about Luo He's performance in this mission, and said with a smile:

"Comrade 'Cunning Rabbit' has performed well in this operation, and I will report your results to the leader in a timely manner and give you a credit."

Luo He's heart moved, and he faintly felt that his position in the Hunters' Club was almost higher than his position in the ninth game.

Silver Fox Boss, hurry up and close the Internet café.

If this continues, I will become the fifth in addition to the Four Heavenly Kings!

"What should I do next?" Luo He asked.

"According to the official arrangement, preside over the sacrificial stove ceremony, and report to me in time if valuable information is found."

Xia Miao said lazily: "Of course, you don't worry about exposing ......"

"If you really encounter a situation, the organization will support you!"

Although this is just a big pie, it still sounds very heartwarming.

Luo He said sincerely: "Thank you, King Summer!" ”

Xia Miao smiled and said, "You're welcome, let's sleep together when we have time." ”

After hanging up the contact, Luo He began to seriously prepare for tomorrow's 'sacrificial stove' itinerary.

The reason why the Stove King Festival has set up a 'Cooking Competition' program is to select the chef who will be responsible for cooking the 'Matsura Food'.

Luo He took out the basalt board, stroked the anvil with a delicate texture like jade, and muttered:

"Tomorrow's meal, whether we can satisfy Zaojun depends on our performance."

The basalt board currently has two established abilities: the power of Xuanwu to increase the nutrition and taste of ingredients, and to restrain the blood of turtles and snakes.

There is also a kind of ability of "invivading a hundred poisons", Luo He is still unsure, and it may not be clear until the space level is improved and the connection with the basalt plate is more close.

In general, this legendary kitchenware is the secret weapon of Luo He to preside over the sacrificial stove ceremony.

"Huh~" Xiao Jiu raised his paws beside him, signaling that he also had a part.

Luo He was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "That's right, I have to control the fire tomorrow." ”

According to legend, Zaojun loves sweets, and the sticky and sweet Zao sugar is his favorite.

I'll make a sweet meal for Zao Jun according to Xiao Jiu's taste!

*

The next day, early in the morning.

Luo He came to the outskirts of the city and joined Master Miaoxi and Cheng Ankang.

Previously, the three of them only discussed the distribution of the 'King-level Move Fruit' online, and there was no personal relationship offline, so Steward Cheng was also talking to Luo He for the first time.

"Mr. Luo." The man in the tuxedo behaved decently, and said in a pleasant manner: "My young lady often mentions your name, and when I see it today, I am indeed a talent." ”

Luo He was a little puzzled, and hesitated: "Your young lady?" Who are you? ”

"Miss's surname is Jiang Yuenuan, I have caused you a lot of trouble before, and I apologize to you again."

Steward Cheng said modestly: "At present, I myself serve as the butler of the Jiang family, so I have heard a lot of your deeds. ”

It turned out to be the housekeeper of "Ginger, driving into a tree, Moon Warm".

Luo He was stunned, solemn, and said, "I'm glad to meet, Master Cheng." ”

"The master doesn't dare to be a master, just call me Steward Cheng."

Luo He didn't know why a master breeder volunteered to be a housekeeper, and there must be something hidden in it.

Seeing that he was humble and polite, and much older than himself, Luo He Pan said: "If you don't mind, I'll call you Uncle Cheng, and we will have to cooperate later." ”

Steward Cheng no longer pushed, and said with a smile: "With your main spoon, this sacrifice stove will definitely go well." ”

While chatting, Xia Sunian arrived in the dust and coughed lightly:

"Sorry, I'm late, and it took me a while to get there."

"Please go to the ruins with me, take a look at the surrounding situation first, and then we will discuss the specific arrangements for the sacrificial stove." Xia Su Nian Road.

Luo He said: "In other words, the sacrificial stove ceremony should be held in the ruins?" ”

Xia Sunian shook his head and said: "The sacrificial stove ceremony is held outside close to the ruins, and on the way, I will explain to you in detail the cause of this [Stove Monarch Sacrifice], so that everyone can also have a deeper understanding of this sacrificial stove ceremony." ”

As he spoke, Xia Sunian summoned a compass-shaped pet beast and carefully examined the direction indicated on the compass.

This pet beast is called 'Luo Jingyi', which has the ability to find a way, and has a unique performance in the field of feng shui and qi contemplation, and is a must-have pet animal for feng shui masters.

Xia Su Nian lifted the compass and let it float in the sky to guide the way.

He and Luo He explained the causes and consequences of this stove monarch sacrifice.

After listening to the ins and outs, Luo He was surprised:

"In the ruins of Emperor Nong, the statue of Zaojun was excavated?"

Xia Sunian nodded and said, "Yes, and this is the first discovery of the statue of Zao Jun, and this news has not yet been announced to the outside world." ”

"The excavation of the statue of the Stove King is of great importance, and in order to avoid disasters and pray for blessings, there is this Stove King Sacrifice."

Xia Su Nian said, "In the festival, the 'sacrificial stove' is the most critical part. ”

"The sacrificial stove is also known as the stove delivery, and there needs to be stove sugar, stove cakes and other sacrificial stove foods to complete the stove delivery ceremony and let the spirit of the stove monarch return to heaven."

"In short, three people need to cook the right food to ensure that the stove is delivered smoothly." Xia Su Nian Road.

Luo He was faintly excited in his heart.

Stove Jun statue?

Unlike statues, statues and portraits are highly likely to have remnants of consciousness.

Even if it's just a remnant of divine consciousness, it's undoubtedly the spirit of the Stove King.

In other words, today's sacrificial stove ceremony is likely to see the real stove king!

"Mr. Xia Sunian, can we see the statue of Stove Jun?" Luo He asked.

"This, I need to approve it from my superiors first, and when the sacrificial stove ceremony is over, I believe it can be." Xia Su Nian Road.

Luo He nodded and said secretly:

"The turtle seniors are still drinking hot water at home, and it's too late to call it."

"If I can really see the stove again, this little fan brother doesn't know how happy he should be!"

Half an hour later, the crowd came to a ruin outside the city.

The site has become a protected area and a temporary research institute has been built.

"This is the recently discovered remnants of the Nong Emperor." Xia Sunian said, "According to our team's research, this relic is mainly used to worship the stove monarch under the command of Emperor Nong. ”

Leading everyone to a cave with traces of surveying, Xia Sunian said: "The stone tablet and statue of Zaojun were found around this cave. ”

Luo He glanced at the cave.

There was no light in the dark entrance of the cave, and it exuded an aura of mystery.

"Shall we go deeper into the cave?" Luo He asked.

"The ritual of sacrificing the stove is held outside the cave."

Xia Sunian looked down at the ground, and then said: "We will arrange the exterior into a suitable venue, and then we need three people to cook on the spot, so that the stove king can taste the sacrificial stove food for the first time." ”

"When does the festival start?" Steward Cheng asked.

Xia Sunian raised his hand to take off the compass floating beside him, like a feng shui master surveying auspicious times, and then looked up at the sky:

"The three of you should first discuss what they want to do, and at dusk, when the sun is about to set, a stove delivery ceremony will be held."

The food of the sacrificial stove mainly includes stove sugar, stove cake, stove soup, stove cake and so on.

After discussion, Luo He was responsible for making stove sugar and stove cakes; Master Miaoxi is responsible for making vegetarian soup; Uncle Cheng prepares pastries and dumplings.

The work of setting up the site continued in an orderly manner, and in the afternoon, an altar was erected outside the cave.

On the altar was a long table covered with red cloth, which was currently empty.

But the three of them were already standing by in front of the stove under the altar, waiting for the auspicious time to come.

In addition to the three of them and Xia Sunian, there were many archaeologists and scientific researchers waiting nervously at the scene.

The sun gradually receded, and the first rays of the setting sun shone on the cave.

In the depths of the bottomless black cavern, it seemed to flicker in an instant.

"Today, I will knock and send, the Nine Heavens East Kitchen Division will order the stove Jun, make a wish, send Gao Zhen to go, and leave grace to bless."

Xia Su Nian finished the sacrifice to the god of the stove Wen Shu, and said:

"Stove!"

The light of the summoning array shone in the field, like a fiery red glow covering the earth.

Luo He said: "Xiao Jiu, make a fire!" ”

Xiao Jiu took a big breath and exhaled violently.

All of a sudden, the stove fire burned brightly!

Luo He first made stove cakes.

A dish of crispy skin to the slag, wrapped in sesame paste, a bite full of brown sugar, mellow hemp, soft and palatable.

Brown sugar sesame sauce pancakes.

First, warm water and yeast powder are added to the milk, then peanut oil and mixed milk liquid are added to the flour, and the smooth dough is kneaded by hand.

While waiting for the dough to rise.

Luo He poured the white sesame seeds into the wok, stir-fried until slightly yellow, turned off the heat and set aside, and mixed the sesame paste with salt and honey to make a secret sauce.

After the dough is served, it is the turn of the basalt board.

In the process of kneading the dough, the base of the basalt board is slightly shiny, the edge of the jade pattern is bright like a night pearl, and the center of the black is matte.

Legend has it that the energy provided by kitchenware is added to the ordinary dough, making the surface of the dough smoother and whiter.

On a cutting board with a smooth texture like jade, Luo He used a rolling pin to roll out the dough, evenly spread the adjusted sesame paste, and sprinkled with brown sugar.

Roll it into long strips, cut it into small pieces, press it into the shape of a baked cake, and brush the surface with water and sesame seeds.

Finally, it is attached to the upper wall of the oven and slowly baked by the stove.

During the roasting process, Luo He started another stove and prepared to make "stove sugar".

Stove sugar is usually sticky and sweet maltose, and there are many types of sugar melon, Kanto sugar, etc.

But Luo He felt that he could follow Xiao Jiu's taste and replace the traditional stove sugar with sweets.

I want to ask Xiao Jiu what his favorite sweet is.

That is undoubtedly the earliest sugar dish he made, glazed snake fruit.

Glazed cabbage, strictly speaking, belongs to a kind of silk pulling vegetables.

The sticky sugar shreds of silk cabbage are exactly the same as stove sugar.

Luo He didn't know how many times he had made the "Glass Snake Fruit", and even Xiao Jiu was familiar with the heat needed to cook this dish.

The red snake fruit is cut into small pieces on a basalt board, boiled on a fire to make sugar, and then the pieces are lowered into the middle.

Luo He's eyes flashed as he stared at the sparkling pieces of fruit soaked in caramel in the hot pan.

This dish can be said to be my best sweet, and there is no possibility of improving the technique.

But in terms of external conditions, there is still room for improvement!

"Little Nine." Luo He passed through the pet beast space and ordered: "Yan Tian Si Order!" ”

The fire suddenly turned from orange to gold.

This heritage, which originated from the stove, contains insights into cooking.

In the past, Zao Jun used this trick to provide a stove fire for the Agricultural Emperor who cooked the colorful soup.

At present, the brighter and brighter stove fire provides this glazed snake fruit with the "pot gas" that is highly valued in Donghuang cooking techniques, adding a taste!

Remove from heat and remove from heat.

The golden fruit pieces are wrapped in sugar juice, crystal moist and bright, and the sugar silk dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the shape is attractive.

Luo He opened the lid of the baked cake oven again, and the curling white smoke and sweet smell wafted straight into the clouds, and even the staff outside the venue couldn't help but cast their eyes.

"It smells so good."

"I'm hungry......"

"After the sacrificial stove is finished, can we eat these baked cakes?"

Xia Sunian cast his gaze, only to see Luo He and Xiao Jiu each holding a plate of tribute and walking towards the altar.

The fragrance wafted away, causing him to swallow his saliva secretly, and secretly said, it is undoubtedly a wise choice to let Luo He master the spoon to send the stove ceremony!

The stove soup cooked by Master Miaoxi and the pastries made by Steward Cheng were successively out of the pot, and the two put the tributes on the altar and placed them on both sides of the Luohe tribute.

Xia Sunian glanced at the sky and said in his heart, next, as long as he finishes reading the second part of the sacrifice, it will be done.

The sun was sinking in the west, and the golden afterglow shone on the nine-section wolf beside Luo He, and its tail ring seemed to be about to burn.

A warm breeze blows.

Xiao Jiu stuck out his tongue.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he pulled Luo He's trouser leg.

Luo He didn't react, but looked at the altar and said nervously:

"Xiao Jiu, what are you doing there, come down quickly!"

Xiao Jiu was slightly stunned: "Huh? ”

Am I right here?

Luo He turned his head to look at Xiao Jiu, also stunned.

Xiao Jiu here?

And who is on the altar?

On the altar, I don't know when a "nine-section wolf" appeared, holding a brown sugar cake with his left hand and a glazed snake fruit with his right hand, with a mouth full of sauce, and happily enjoyed it.

Luo He froze in place.

Look back and forth at Xiao Jiu and the figure on the altar.

Luo He was shocked and said:

"Stove, stove?!"
