Chapter 165: How many bamboo shoots, how many bamboo shoots
As soon as Kassandra's words came out, the atmosphere that was still very warm was swept away.
And everyone quickly left with various excuses, not wanting to stay in the place of right and wrong anymore.
In this way, a fragrant storm that can be called a disaster slowly dissipated.
Jiang Yan, who was finally able to lie back on the bed, also closed his eyes with difficulty under the entanglement of the two body fragrances, and slept not so peacefully.
......
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight were shining from the sky.
Jiang Yan, who had woken up early, was already carrying a bamboo basket made of rattan on his back and walking towards the wetland outside the monastery.
The reason why he woke up early was to dig out some of the ingredients he was going to use today, spring bamboo shoots.
The spring bamboo shoots in this period are delicious, their body is fat, white as jade, the meat is tender, delicious and refreshing.
Whether it is used for cold dressing, stir-frying or boiling soup, it is very tender and fragrant, and it is a high-quality seasonal ingredient.
In particular, the bamboo shoots growing under this spring water are full of the nourishment of holy energy, and it is a pity not to eat them in Jiang Yan's opinion.
"When we arrive, the bamboo shoots here look fresh, so let's dig them up."
After coming to the wetland fed by the spring below, Jiang Ember quickly found a piece of ground and began to hoe it with a hoe.
Although he is not a professional bamboo shoot-digger, he is strong enough and has good eyes.
As soon as the hoe went down, large swaths of soft soil were dug up, and gradually bamboo shoots appeared.
With Jiang Yan's efforts, it didn't take long for the fresh spring bamboo shoots to form a small mountain around him.
After packing up the ingredients to be used today, Jiang Yan also walked in the direction of the monastery above with leisurely steps.
Then go back to the wooden shed with the kitchen you have built, and separate the bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket.
Call...... After digging so many spring bamboo shoots at once, let's just take some of them and dry them and store them.
Looking at the spring bamboo shoots piled all over the ground, Jiang Yan naturally had an idea in his heart.
Spring bamboo shoots are the most mountainous ingredients in early spring, and the slender white and tender seductive figure after peeling off the shell exudes a faint fragrance.
There are many ways to eat freshly dug spring bamboo shoots, such as "braised spring bamboo shoots in oil", "bamboo shoots tip roasted wheat", "spring bamboo shoots stewed fish", "pickled bamboo shoots", "salt-boiled bamboo shoots", "red dregs stewed bamboo shoots" and so on.
As for the dried bamboo shoots made with salt, it is also unique when it is combined with oily pork belly to make "dried bamboo shoots roasted pork".
However, considering that it is necessary to make breakfast for a while, it is not so suitable to take too heavy a mouthful.
In that case, let's make a simple "bamboo shoot shredded pork pot noodles" and "cold bamboo shoot tips" with spring bamboo shoots.
The pot noodles themselves are a practice, which basically means that the auxiliary ingredients are fried in the boiling pot, and the materials are not limited.
So you only need to cut the fresh spring bamboo shoots into thin strips, moisten the pot with lard, add some shredded pork and stir-fry together.
After stir-frying the aroma, add noodles, water, and soy sauce to cook directly, sprinkle some chopped green onions and oil residue to get out of the pot, simple and delicious.
As for the "cold bamboo shoot tips", the most tender bamboo shoots are cut into thin slices and mixed with balsamic vinegar and mountain garlic sprouts.
Add a few drops of sesame oil and marinate it for a while, and it becomes such a delicious cold dish.
The tip of the bamboo shoot is the most delicate part of the spring bamboo shoot, and you can only experience the purest taste of this food when you eat it raw.
Coupled with the wild mountain garlic sprouts, it is as if the wild taste of spring is packed into this small plate, which makes people can't help but have an appetite.
Such a rich breakfast, that's really thinking about it...... Jiang Yan himself was drooling a little when he thought about it.
It's just before leaving with a few of the freshest spring shoots.
Jiang Ember still walked to the ice cellar in the corner of the wooden shed and looked at the dragon eggs piled inside.
...... That's right, the dragon eggs in the ice cellar are also a spectacle.
This dragon egg was made not so long ago by Catherine the Elder
The one that the teacher touched out of the dragon's lair and was brought back to the monastery by the three of them.
Since there is a living dragon egg on hand, it is naturally imperative to hatch it.
But the method of hatching this dragon egg, everyone is completely ignorant of this.
According to Kassandra's description, dragon eggs need to be hatched in the most suitable environment.
For example, the most common "red bronze dragon" in the Canglong Empire, that is, the kind of dragon that flies everywhere and breathes fire everywhere.
To artificially hatch a copper dragon egg, the egg needs to be placed in a high temperature high enough to melt steel.
But the problem is that the "Silver Scale Fledgling Dragon" in Jiang Ash's hand is obviously not that kind of fire dragon species.
Judging from the information revealed in the special food book, this dragon belongs to the cold subclass, that is, the ice dragon species.
Since it is an ice dragon species, it naturally has to be incubated in an extremely cold environment...... Like an ice cellar in a small wooden shed.
However, it is clear that the dragon eggs placed in the ice cellar do not seem to have any reaction to hatch.
If you think about it, the temperature of an ordinary ice cellar is only about zero degrees, which is not particularly cold.
Compared with the environment where Yinlong lives and doesn't know how many degrees below zero, there must be a gap.
In this case, I don't know if this dragon egg can hatch...... Forget it, don't think about him yet.
After all, now Jiang Ember still has the matter of dragon meat to think about, and the matter of dragon eggs is not in a hurry.
Anyway, this dragon egg has been in the dragon's lair for I don't know how long, and it won't be a problem to stay for a while.
After one last glance at the dragon egg, Jiang Ember also closed the door of the ice cellar and went to the kitchen of the monastery to cook.
Just as Jiang Ember had thought before, the fresh spring bamboo shoots full of holy energy tasted extremely delicious.
As soon as the finished "Shredded Pork Noodles with Bamboo Shoots" and "Cold Bamboo Shoots Tips" were served, several people were eating crunching.
"Shhh...... Hiss, is this a bamboo shoot? I didn't expect bamboo shoots to be edible, and they were so delicious."
On the dining table, An Jie held a large bowl and gulped down the noodles, looking very intoxicated.
It is also true that the boiled pot noodles that have just come out are full of pot gas, and the smooth noodles are paired with shredded bamboo shoots, shredded pork and lard residue, and the taste is called a rich and fragrant flavor.
Although it will be a little greasy to eat a few more bites just like this, the refreshing cold bamboo shoot tip next to it solves this problem.
The fresh bamboo shoots are of upper quality, with a sweet and long aftertaste, and the taste is very crunchy and crisp, and the water is full of fairy energy.
Then mix it with balsamic vinegar and garlic sprouts, and throw it into your mouth full of sour aroma, which is very greasy and appetizing.
Because the fresh bamboo shoots were so delicious, everyone strongly requested another meal in the evening after eating...... Especially Ellulu.
Ai Lulu has always liked to eat all kinds of wild plants, and she was even more surprised when she found that bamboo shoots could be so delicious.
So much so that when she left the restaurant, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jiang Yan, as if reminding her not to forget the next bamboo shoot feast.
And Jiang Yan naturally waved his hand at Ai Lulu, telling the kid to relax, there must be something delicious at night.
Not...... The next step is to study dragon meat, so we'll have to get this thing done quickly.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Ember stretched his waist, turned his head and left the monastery.
He went alone to the safe house parked outside, and took out a small piece of dragon meat hidden in that special ice cellar.
When properly stored, the dragon meat has a bright red color and looks delicious.
Although it was only a small flake, about a hundred grams, it still exuded a strong aura of holy energy.
"Okay, where do you start...... Let's try the marinade first."
Looking at the piece of dragon meat in his hand, as well as the "dragon heather skin" and "dragon heather seeds" placed next to the table.
Jiang Ember couldn't help but reach out and rub it
Rubbing his hair, he began to immerse himself in the creative thinking.
After all, it is inherently difficult to complete the Holy Energy cooking of an ingredient.
And the more powerful the ingredients, the more special the environment in which they grow.
If you want to preserve the sacred energy in the ingredients to complete the cooking, it will naturally be more difficult.
The batch of dragon meat that Jiang Ember currently has on hand is undoubtedly the most difficult material he has ever encountered.
But fortunately, Jiang Ember has mastered countless cooking techniques, and he has enough dragon meat on hand.
Frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying, exploding, boiling, boiling, pasting.
Boiling, burning, stewing, simmering, baking, grilling, stewing, roasting.
Salted, smoked, mud-roasted, simmered, boiled, steamed......
No matter what the ingredient is, as long as you try it a lot, you will always find the right technique.
So in the following period of time, Jiang Ember took out the dragon meat in small quantities and tried various cooking.
Like "Steamed Dragon Meat", "Marinated Dragon Meat", "Red Braised Dragon Meat", "Back to the Pot Dragon Meat", "Soft Grilled Dragon Meat", "Salted Dragon Meat", "Dragon Meatball Soup" and so on.
The result is...... Nothing.
On the third day when Ember tried to start cooking dragon meat.
Looking at the large pile of dragon meat dishes in the cauldron on the side, Jiang Ember sighed physically and mentally exhausted.
"I should say that it can't be dragon meat, it's much harder than I thought."
When he sat down to rest, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the small piece of dragon meat placed on the cutting board.
Jiang Yan is already the strongest chef in the world who knows the most cooking techniques.
But even so, he was unable to retain the holy energy in the dragon's flesh despite almost all methods.
During this cooking process, Jiang Ember also tried to add "dragon heather skin" and "dragon heather seeds" to it.
But the taste of these two ingredients is very strange, and it feels like it can't be harmoniously blended with dragon meat at all.
Am I wrong...... "Dragon's Heather" has nothing to do with cooking dragon meat?
Or do the two need certain conditions to be able to blend into each other and fulfill the indicators of Holy Energy Cooking?
Just as Jiang Ember sat in the kitchen of the safe house and thought about it.
Suddenly, there were two brisk footsteps outside.
He turned his head to look out of the kitchen door, only to realize that it was Catherine and Lanather.
Only that time after taking Teacher Catherine to the fog capital for a trip.
She didn't seem to have the same awe for the people in the monastery as before, and she didn't treat everyone as demons and monsters anymore.
Coupled with the exposure of the identity of the "Cake Lady", this woman seems to have become broken and broken.
So much so that sometimes Catherine would inexplicably appear at the convent table and begin to eat and drink openly.
It's just that it's quite rare for Catherine to appear with Lannacel.
After all, she seemed to be close to Lady Vichy and Kassandra before...... It seems that he has only recently become acquainted.
