Chapter 167: Three Realms Requiem Bamboo Tube Dumplings

Sacrificing ghosts and gods with food has been practiced in Donghuang since ancient times.

Luo He already had the experience of sacrificing to the Stove King, and when he was thinking about what kind of food to prepare for the Jingyue Fox, he also let go of his thinking.

"Steamed buns, dumplings, buns?"

In the kitchen, Luo He was dressed in a white chef's suit, crossed his arms, and muttered to himself:

"Which one to choose for today's dinner......

Steamed buns originated from steamed buns, and there is still a habit of calling steamed buns 'stuffed meat steamed buns' all over Donghuang.

In the legend, steamed buns were invented by Prime Minister Zhuge and used to replace human heads to worship the god of Lushui.

Therefore, steamed buns were the earliest kind of banquet food, which is very suitable for mourning.

Luo He remembered that there was a chef who was good at noodles in "Little Master of China", named "Pastry King" Logan.

Luo Gen took the meaning of "Wuhou sacrificed Lushui with steamed buns" plus "four beasts to suppress evil", and made a [Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasures Soul Suppression Bun].

The name is extremely long, the special effects are extremely gorgeous, and the soul suppression effect is also very good, and the judges were shocked and speechless.

To reproduce this "Four Gods Soul Bun", it is naturally not difficult for Luo He.

But as a special chef, Luo He always has some pursuits in terms of culinary innovation.

Luo He looked at the lush and dark green forest trees by the window, and thought of the heroic and extraordinary sweet dragon bamboo in his mind, his eyes lit up slightly, and said:

"Why don't you make bamboo dumplings?"

Bamboo tube dumplings are a sacrificial delicacy with a particularly long history.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the people put rice in bamboo tubes and threw themselves into the river to pay tribute, and the tube dumplings also became the earliest zongzi in Donghuang.

On the way here, Luo He saw wild dragon bamboo growing in the mountains and forests, and all kinds of fillings were already stored in the unicorn cabinet.

Luo He made up his mind and said in his heart: "Go out and cut a few more bamboos and come back, and everyone will eat bamboo dumplings together today!" ”

in the living room.

The atmosphere was a little weird.

Everyone in the school team was cramped and uneasy to huddle on a sofa, and from time to time they looked at the white-haired girl sitting alone on the single sofa.

The Silent Moon Fox closed his eyes and recuperated, not intending to communicate with everyone.

Seeing this, Miao Yingying asked Ye Zhidao beside her in a low voice:

"You and Luo He, why did you pull her here to make a meal match?"

Miao Yingying really couldn't hold back her desire to complain.

Obviously I came to investigate the haunting incident, but I ended up having a dinner with the ghost, is this like a word?

Luo He planned to persuade by breeding, and the other party also agreed to taste the food made by Luo He.

Ye Zhi said softly: "If the persuasion fails, let's leave here." ”

"Well... The itinerary is still the same, tonight as usual to taste the dinner made by Luo He. Miao Yingying muttered, "It's just an extra pair of chopsticks... The problem is not very big either. ”

Tu Yanwu's forehead was sweating, and his hands and feet were cold.

Big, big problem!

At this time, Luo He walked out of the kitchen, and everyone looked up and looked at each other.

"I'll go out and chop some bamboos and I'll be back soon." Luo He Dao.

"I'll go for you, what kind of bamboo do you need?" Ye Zhi stood up and said.

Luo He suddenly understood what Ye Zhi meant, if he was not in this bungalow, others might not be able to calm Jingyue Fox.

"Sweet dragon bamboo, there are one in the nearby mountains, just cut three plants." Luo He Dao.

As a student of Yunling University, Ye Zhi was very familiar with this kind of Yunling specialty, and soon brought back fresh sweet dragon bamboo knots from nearby.

Luo He neatly cut the sweet dragon bamboo into small bamboo tubes, and then walked into the kitchen again with these bamboo tubes.

Inside the kitchen.

Luo He rolled up his cuffs and inspected the three kinds of fillings prepared in front of him.

There are three kinds of fillings, namely date bean paste filling, egg yolk salted meat filling, and white glutinous rice without filling.

It corresponds to three colors: red, gold, and white, as well as three flavors: sweet, salty, and white.

Since ancient times, whether zongzi are sweet or salty is a topic that is easy to cause debate.

Luo He knows how to serve water.

There is one kind of sweet rice dumplings and one kind of salty rice dumplings.

There are also very few who dip honey and even dip chili peppers, let them take the white rice dumplings and eat them with their own dipping sauce.

Bamboo tube dumplings, you need to choose fresh bamboo tubes as containers, fill water and rice in each bamboo tube, and then seal them with wide banana leaves and zongzi leaves, and steam them in a pot.

During the steaming process, the zongzi will absorb the fragrance of the bamboo joints, and the bamboo tube can also lock the deliciousness of the filling inside the bamboo tube.

It is worth mentioning that bamboo rice dumplings are different from bamboo rice.

The raw material of bamboo tube rice is rice, which is usually roasted over fire, and the emphasis is on adding water, heat, and even turning the bamboo tube, so that the bamboo tube is fragrant when it is broken.

As for the bamboo tube zongzi, the raw material is glutinous rice, which is steamed exquisitely, and the taste is fragrant and elegant, soft and glutinous.

In the filling, the Kirin cabinet retains the umami of the ingredients to the greatest extent, and brings a wonderful taste because of the freshness of the ingredients.

The bamboo tube cut on the basalt board absorbs a part of the nutrients provided by the basalt board, showing a jade-like green jade color.

Luo He put the mixed rice and stuffing into the bamboo tube, and immediately let Xiao Jiu exhale the stove fire, and after the temperature is right, put the bamboo tube down and vertically into the steamer.

The high temperature and steam cause a wonderful chemical reaction inside the bamboo tube, and the mountain spring water turns into water vapor and wafts out of the small hole drilled out of the bamboo tube, carrying a smell of glutinous rice.

The fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, causing everyone to inhale again and again, revealing a novelty.

"It smells so good." Miao Yingying looked back frequently.

"Luo He's cooking skills are among the best in the entire Yunda breeding line." Wei Zhe lifted his glasses, "It seems that you can feast on it today." ”

Tu Yanwu swallowed.

Although there was a strange guest at the dinner...... But as long as the food is delicious enough, strange places can also be ignored!

Ye Zhi had just turned on the ghost transformation talent, consuming a lot of physical energy, and smelling this tempting aroma, saliva began to secrete unconsciously.

She pursed her lips, and paid attention to the white-haired girl's demeanor, and found that Jingyue Fox's face was full of confusion.

The Silent Moon Fox hovers on the border between life and death, and has not been able to enjoy the food of the earthly world for more than ten years.

After all, no one would pay tribute to the lonely ghosts.

It had forgotten the deliciousness of the earthly world, but it still maintained its senses, sniffing the strange fragrance wafting from it, and the glimmer of light in its eyes.

The time for steaming zongzi didn't have to be too long, and after a while, Luo He walked out of the kitchen with a dinner plate covered with a thermal insulation cover and placed the dinner plate in front of Jingyue Fox.

Jingyue Fox, who turned into a white-haired girl in the form of a human, raised his eyes and looked at Luo He, and said coldly:

"What kind of dish is this?"

"I named it -"

Luo He opened the insulation cover, and the three pillars of gold, white, and red light rose into the sky, and the air waves swept the girl's white hair, and the light reflected the girl's uncertain face.

The smell was fragrant, the heat was full of the fragrance of glutinous rice and bamboo, and the three-colored light shocked everyone present, and Miao Yingying and the others had incredible words written on their faces.

"Three Realms Requiem bamboo tube zongzi." Luo He Dao.

"This, this ......"

Miao Yingying stammered, "Why does this zongzi still shine?" ”

Luo He said calmly: "As a breeder, making dishes that shine is a basic operation. ”

Wei Zhe is in a delicate mood... Are you sure? How did I hear that in this world, only the pot of colorful soup made by Emperor Nong will shine?

Senior Sister Ye's face was slightly shocked, and the beam of light that rushed into the sky just now made her feel a little out of shape when she had always been calm.

I strongly suspect that Luo He has a talent for food... Ye Zhi glanced at Luo He... Even cooking a dish can be so spectacular!

After settling down, Ye Zhi observed carefully, only to see three cut bamboo tubes on the plate, which were placed horizontally in the porcelain plate like jade jade.

In the three bamboo tubes, there are three kinds of rice dumplings with different colors, namely red rice dumplings mixed with red beans, white rice dumplings that are as smooth as jade, and golden and attractive meat dumplings.

Saliva began to secrete again, and Haori bit her lower lip, surprised to find that her always calm state of mind was shaken in front of this dish.

In ancient times, there was an allusion to "Buddha jumping over the wall", a delicacy called Buddha jumping over the wall, just by virtue of the aroma, the monks couldn't help but come over the wall to taste.

And the dishes made by Luo He have also reached the amazing point that the aroma alone can shake the mood of diners!

The white-haired girl was stunned at first, and then her eyes widened, staring at the dishes in front of her, revealing an eye-opening look.

It's not that I haven't eaten zongzi, but this so-called [Three Realms Requiem Bamboo Tube Zongzi] is really unheard of.

The point is, it's so fragrant! Can't help but want to take a bite!

The white-haired girl sucked her saliva, and a fluffy white tail quietly grew out of her back, as if she couldn't help herself.

Miao Yingying had already learned the identity of the Jingyue Fox from Ye Zhi's mouth, but when she saw the fox's tail, she still looked surprised.

A dish is called the fox demon in its original form?

I've seen a demon in a mirror, but I've never seen a demon in a meal!

Everyone's eyes were glued to the three-color bamboo dumplings in the porcelain plate, as if they were eager to step forward to share the food immediately.

"Why, this name?" Ye Zhi asked.

Luo He coughed lightly, introduced them one by one, and explained the origin of the name of the dish:

"As we all know, zongzi is not only a sacrificial delicacy, but also has a therapeutic effect."

"Therefore, on this bamboo tube dumpling, I pay attention to the use of dumpling leaves and fillings to achieve the effect of 'calming the mind and calming the nerves'."

"And zongzi, the first to pay tribute to the poet who died in the river, based on this, I named this dish 'requiem zongzi'."

Luo He pointed to the red zongzi and said:

"This is made of black rice, dates, red bean paste sweet brown, red bean paste can nourish blood and calm the nerves, red beans have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying."

The so-called red dust world, Luo He This honey dumpling, represents the dust world in the Three Realms.

Everyone agreed, and 'Gollum' swallowed his saliva.

Luo He pointed to the golden zongzi and said:

"This is a fresh meat egg yolk ham dumpling made of ham, salted duck egg yolk, and fresh meat, which is salty and fragrant and nutritious."

Luo He uses this golden zongzi to represent the heavenly realm in the Three Realms.

Tu Yanwu's eyes lit up: "Big meat zongzi, I like this." ”

"Out of breath." Miao Yingying scoffed, "Obviously, the bean paste dumplings just now are more delicious." ”

Luo He cleared his throat vigorously, interrupting the sweet and salty controversy, and pointed to the white zongzi:

"This is a white dumpling made of steamed glutinous rice without filling, suitable for dipping in honey, and it is the way to eat the famous 'honey cold dumpling' in the ancient capital."

The white dumplings are as white as jade, infiltrated and clear, if they are poured with honey, rose dew, osmanthus pulp, it is the famous palace delicacy "giving scarlet fragrant dumplings".

Luo He used white and flawless white dumplings to represent the spiritual realm in the Three Realms.

In the end, this dish was named, Three Realms Requiem Bamboo Tube Zongzi.

Luo He glanced at Jingyue Fox's expression, and saw that she looked like she was trying to maintain her calmness, and said with a smile:

"Please taste it."

The white-haired girl nodded reservedly, slowly picked up the spoon, scooped the red bean paste dumplings in the bamboo tube, blew the heat vapor, and put it in her mouth.

"Hmm..."Jingyue Fox's eyes widened in disbelief, and the whole person froze in place.

The deliciousness of this zongzi was far beyond her imagination, and even the restless state of mind was incredibly calm.

Slowly, the eyes of the Silent Moon Fox were filled with water vapor.

I scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice and stuffed it into my mouth, and finally simply threw away the spoon, grabbed the bamboo tube dumplings, and gobbled it up.

The girl was in tears while eating, Luo He wondered if she was choking, pointed at Jingyue Fox, looked at Ye Weaving, and motioned for Ye Zhi to help pat Jingyue Fox's back.

But the white-haired girl refused Ye Weaving's help, and after eating the honey dumplings, she continued to taste the meat dumplings, with rice grains on her lips.

"Eat slowly." Luo He said widely, "There is still one in the pot." ”

Jingyue Fox glared at Luo He, and her teardropping eyes were full of anger, unwillingness and nostalgia.

"Why?" Jingyue Fox said hoarsely.

"Huh?" Luo He was stunned.

"Why, do you want to make it so delicious......"

The Silent Moon Fox wiped his eye sockets with his arm, and his eyes moistened his arm.

"Now, if you don't fulfill the agreement, you won't be able to do it......"

According to the agreement, if Jingyue Fox can find fault with Luo He's dishes, then Luo He and the others will leave here.

On the contrary, the Silent Moon Fox needs to go to the spirit realm and cannot continue to stay in the bungalow.

Miao Yingying looked at the white-haired girl who was crying silently, tried to comfort her and withdrew her hand, raising her eyes to look at Luo He for help.

Luo He felt that the dead spirit should go to the spirit world, but the Silent Moon Fox's obsession with guarding the residence of the master could be understood.

"I want to ......"

Luo He was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Death is not the opposite of life, but a continuation of life."

Jingyue Fox raised his eyes and looked at Luo He with a complicated look.

"Your master, who may still live in the spirit realm, may have opened a new life in another way, so her death contributes to the continuation of life."

Luo He said: "You can do the same...... Not to stay in the past, but to move towards the future. ”

Thousands of sails on the side of the sunken boat, that's all.

Click, click.

The white-haired girl lowered her head and tasted the last white dumpling.

After a long time, Jingyue Fox spoke:

"It's not tasty, it's a little salty."

Luo He smiled helplessly and said, "You should know that salty ones are not zongzi." ”

Jingyue Fox wiped away the tears on his cheeks, nodded arrogantly, and said:

"I'll keep my promise and get out of here, maybe, maybe, maybe......"

There was a hint of hope in the girl's eyes, but in the second half of the conversation, she stopped talking and was depressed.

Luo He saw the girl's loss and said:

"No matter who it is, there will be people who want to see again."

"You're always tired on the road, so eat a good meal and start the journey again."

This is the philosophy pursued by Chef Luo.

"Anyway, let's eat first." Luo He smiled.

A glimmer of light flashed in Jingyue Fox's dim eyes, and the pear blossom with rain on her face glowed, and said softly:

"It turns out that you will still comfort people."

Luo He reminded: "You are a ghost, not a human. ”

"I don't care, I'm going to finish this meal before leaving." The white-haired girl pushed the eaten dinner plate aside, "Add me another bamboo tube zongzi!" ”

Luo He picked up the plate, turned around, and found that Miao Yingying and the others opened their mouths wide, surprised that even ghosts couldn't refuse the delicious food made by Luo He.

"What are you doing?" Luo He said, "If you want to eat bamboo dumplings, go to the kitchen and get them." ”

A crowd of people hulared and rushed to the kitchen, noisy footsteps and loud voices.

"Don't rob, don't rob!"

"Why can the rice dumplings be so fragrant?"

"According to my analysis, Luo He has a unique choice of ingredients...... Leave me a copy!! ”

The haunted bungalow is lively for the first time in a long time.

This liveliness made Jingyue Fox feel at ease for a long time.

The weight on his shoulders became as light as goose feathers at some point.

Jingyue Fox showed a beautiful smile, looked at the moon outside the window, and said softly:

"Luo He."

"What?" Luo He turned his head.

"Your cooking."

The figure on the seat turned into a point of light, gradually dissipating, leaving a gentle voice:

"It's very tasty."

Suddenly, there was silence in the room.

A round of moonlight fell into the house, and the dust flew like elves dancing in the light.

Luo He looked at the empty seat in silence, thinking about the Three Realms, life and death, and other important things.

But Luo He felt that all this.

It's not as important as a compliment from a diner.

"Thank you."

The young man in the white chef's suit stood in place, looking at the moon outside the window, and said to himself:

"May you meet again with the person you want to meet."
