Chapter 209: A barbecue feast before parting

After listening to the performance of this opera master, Jiang Yan couldn't help but say convincingly:

"He is worthy of being a world-famous national treasure, and compared to An Jie, it is simply ......."

Before he could finish speaking, a fierce gaze looked at him.

Following that gaze, he saw An Jie raise his fist at some point, and the fist was wrapped around the Heavenly Fury Divine Flame that represented anger.

This punch, let alone twenty years of skill, is not inferior to plastic surgery when hit in the face, so where can it be taken casually.

「...... Say it? Go on?"

"Follow...... Compared to An Jie, it's a little stronger, just a little."

Jiang Yan said in a cold sweat as he raised his thumb and index finger and made a gesture of "100 million dots".

Seeing his cautious look, Anjie and Parunis couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on." An Jie pouted and said, "How different am I from others, can I understand better than you?" It's useless to flatter me."

Hearing this, Parunis also nodded and said, "That's right, your level is at most about the second tier among professionals, and it really can't be compared with other people's super first-tier people."

"Cut, I don't want to compare with others, it's almost the same to let Ellulu compare."

Speaking of this, An Jie scratched her head again and said, "But Ailulu doesn't seem to be a professional singer, it's a pity to say, if she can become a national treasure like her mother, she will definitely not be sent to be a sealer."

In An Jie's opinion, it was really too wasteful for a person like Ailulu, who had inherited a good bloodline, to come over and be a sealer.

But it could also be because Ellulu chose the wrong path and chose to follow her father's path as a druid.

If she could follow in her mother's footsteps and improve in opera, she would certainly not have been assigned to do such a thing.

Of course, in the end, this is all Ellulu's own choice, and there is nothing for others to point fingers at.

It's just that An Jie feels a little pity...... If she had such an excellent singer mother, she would have performed on stage a long time ago.

And when it came to the stage performance, Parunis said with a smile:

"By the way, aren't you really going to tour with us to the next place? I can really assign you a role."

The personality of the head of the regiment is somewhat similar to An Jie, both of them belong to the type of big grin and do whatever they want.

She said that if she wanted to invite the two of them on stage, it was not a joke, it was the kind that could really let them perform publicly with the troupe.

Regarding this, Jiang Yan and An Jie immediately shook their heads, after all, they still had to go back to the monastery quickly.

Although the matter on the Holy Flame's side is over now, they can't stay outside indefinitely.

Next, after they go back, they have to prepare for their next new trip to "Night Song".

This trip to Yege is not to have fun, but to hold a memorial service for Ellulu's mother.

Don't forget, the reason why Jiang Ember made up his mind to bring everyone out in the first place was mainly for the sake of Ai Lulu.

It is customary for the druids on the side of the Night Song to pick a reincarnated lotus on the death day of their loved ones.

Then throw it into the "Emerald River", a sacred river that runs through the country, and let it go all the way down the river, so as to send blessings to the next life of your loved ones.

Ellulu's mother, Ms. Brigitte, died of illness a few years ago.

As a daughter, she naturally had to perform the ritual for her mother at such an important moment.

And Ms. Brigitte's death date is less than ten days left, and there is not so much time for An Jie's side to squander at will.

However, after the two refused, Parunis had to sigh, shake her head and say, "Look at the book."

"It's a pity, our next stop here is to go to Night Song, and I wanted to stay with you for a little longer."

Well? Night song? The Hellboy Opera Company is also going to night song?

Hear this

After a destination, Jiang Yan and An Jie couldn't help but glance at each other.

After all, this destination is really a bit of a coincidence, because Jiang Ember and Ai Lulu are also going to night songs next.

In that case, maybe they'll see the giant skeleton airship again when they get to Night Song.

Just as Jiang Ember was thinking this, a short man in a clown costume ran over from behind.

The clown Zhou Karl is an actor in the "Hellboy Opera Company" and a congenital dwarf.

However, although Zhou Karl has some physical problems, he is not cynical because of this, but has a very cheerful and self-familiar personality.

After he ran over, he first glanced at the head of the regiment who was eating Mao Xuewang with jealous eyes, and then smiled:

"Chef Jiang, the brothers are ready, just waiting for you to show your hand."

"Ah, is that all the time...... Then I'll come when I go."

During the time that Jiang Ember and An Jie stayed in the airship, most of the time he was overrun by Captain Parunis.

Ahem, don't get me wrong, it's not the one who occupies it, but the one who occupies Jiang Ember and asks him to cook for himself.

Because of this, the other members of the opera troupe have long coveted Jiang Yan's cooking skills, but they can't eat the food he cooks.

So much so that every day, many members of the regiment are holding signs that "Captain go to death, die to die" everywhere.

Then she was whipped by Parunis with a whip, crying and shouting to put away the sign and go back to her own business.

Jiang Yan also looked at them pitifully, so he also prepared a delicious meal for this group of interesting actors to taste before leaving.

And the performers of this group of opera companies specify the dishes they want to eat...... It was actually barbecue.

In their words, we can't get used to fine food.

I just want to taste how delicious the barbecue made by such a great chef can be, and whether it can be eaten until it takes off.

For such a simple request, Jiang Yan naturally had no need to refuse.

Anyway, for a chef of his level, any dish can be made to the point of extreme deliciousness...... The same goes for barbecue.

It didn't take long for Jiang Ember to follow the clown brother to the airship's storage room.

The temperature in the pantry is very low, and there are plenty of ingredients in it, including meat.

Choosing the ingredients is often the most important first step in cooking.

If you don't have an eye for selecting ingredients, then no matter how good the chef's craftsmanship is, it will be in vain.

And after Jiang Yan looked at the ingredients in the storeroom, he asked the clown:

"What kind of meat did the brothers in the opera troupe like to eat the most?"

"This one...... It must be beef, every time the old captain cooks beef, he will be eaten completely."

The old captain in the clown's mouth is the chef who was in charge of the daily diet of the troupe.

The old captain didn't know if he had really been a captain, but he was blind in one eye and wrapped in a black cloth.

For the old captain's cooking skills, Jiang Ember can only be described in two words...... Extremely daring.

As for the taste of the production, it can only be said that it is cooked and can be eaten, and it is only at this level.

Of course, it's not that the old captain is so bad at being a chef.

But the vast majority of chefs in this world are at this level, and if they can cook food and eat it without poisoning, they have already won ninety percent of their peers.

However, Jiang Ember naturally can't be limited to cooking food...... He's a top chef.

So after learning that the brothers in the opera troupe like to eat beef, Jiang Yan nodded and began to look for the ingredients he wanted.

Beef is a very bold ingredient with a strong flavor in itself.

Therefore, good beef only needs to be grilled over a straight fire to achieve a very perfect taste and texture.

In Zhou Karl's expectant gaze

Next, Jiang Ember took a few glances in the storage room, and then took out a large piece of beef that looked a little ugly.

Fresh beef is warm and shiny, full of a wonderful color like rhodolite garnet.

However, the beef that Jiang Ember chose looked dull on the surface, and even looked like it was dried and rotten.

If you look closely, the surface is black and hard, and there are even some small fluffs that represent decay.

At least in Zhou's opinion...... It's a bad piece of meat.

It is common for this meat to be found in the storage room of an airship.

After all, the airship has to purchase a large number of ingredients every time, and it is impossible to guarantee that all of them are so fresh.

But seeing Jiang Ember pick up such a large piece of bad meat, Zhou Kar couldn't help frowning and said:

"Well, Chef Jiang? You're not going to use this for cooking, are you?"

"yes, can't you?"

"It's not that it can't be done, the brothers' stomachs are quite tenacious, but I don't know if the toilet will be enough tonight......

After hearing Zhou Kar's optimistic words mixed with pessimism, Jiang Ember couldn't help laughing.

Of course, as a chef, he doesn't make food that makes people eat diarrhea.

So under Zhou Karl's surprised gaze, Jiang Shen casually picked up the blade of love and slashed down.

The dried and rotten outer layer of the beef is directly revealed, revealing a meat that shines like a ruby, is scattered with oil splashes, and is full of aroma.

After seeing the surprisingly beautiful meat, Zhou Kar scratched his head suspiciously and said:

"What's going on? Isn't this meat bad? Why does it look so beautiful inside?"

"This is aged meat, and although it is not edible on the surface, the meat flavor inside will be stronger."

Jiang Ember explained casually while quickly breaking down the large piece of beautiful aged beef in his hand.

Generally speaking, the fresher the meat, the better, but sometimes this is not always the case.

The so-called "aged meat" refers to the natural fermentation of fresh meat at a specified temperature and humidity to make it more flavorful, soft and chewy.

After aging, a large amount of water in the meat will be lost, which makes the umami of the meat itself greatly concentrated, which is a common practice in Western cuisine.

But having said that, the concentration and refinement of this umami is also common in Chinese food, and the typical case is Jinhua ham.

The surface of Jinhua ham, which has been dried for many years, also looks jet black, but after being cut, the color is bright, red and white.

The lean meat of the ham is salty and sweet, and the fat meat is fragrant but not greasy, and it has a different concentrated flavor than fresh meat.

So much so that when top Chinese chefs prepare the broth, they don't use fresh pork legs to hang the soup, but have to use ham to hang the soup to be fresh and sweet.

The same reason was also used by Jiang Ember in the current barbecue feast.

It didn't take long for the fire in the kitchen to rise.

A mellow aroma of barbecue quickly spread outward with light smoke wafting in the air.

All the members of the airship were attracted by the aroma like a hungry hound.

Even An Jie, who was basking in the sun on the viewing platform, couldn't help twitching her little nose and whispered:

"It smells so good...... Go over and see what that guy is doing, I'm a little hungry."

As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped out of her sun lounger and ran towards the kitchen.

When she arrived in the kitchen, the first thing An Jie saw was a stone stove full of red-hot charcoal underneath.

"Charcoal barbecue" is Jiang Yan's favorite barbecue method, and it is also the most original barbecue method.

The charcoal of the lit fruit trees is put to the test by putting large chunks of meat on the grill.

Wait for the fat of the barbecue to drip into the charcoal fire, and then grill and flip it repeatedly.

The aroma of the wood will slowly melt into the fat of the barbecue, forming a unique smoky flavor.

At this time, the diameter of the stone is more than two meters

The firewood was crackling in the stove.

A large number of barbecued meats that looked oily and burnt were neatly arranged on it, as if waiting for the general's order.

Suck...... Suck and suck.

After twitching her nose a few times, An Jie ran to Jiang Yan, who was in front of the oven, and asked:

"Smell butter and add butter to the barbecue?"

"I fry the meat a little in butter before grilling...... You've got a pretty smart nose."

"Of course, you have to keep the largest piece for me, and the best one to bake for me, otherwise you won't be allowed to bed at night."

After leaving this somewhat ambiguous-sounding threat, An Jie ran to the cafeteria and waited.

Suddenly, Zhou Karl, who heard this, couldn't help but quip:

"Dude, you're really hard enough, you have to deal with her during the day and you have to deal with her at night, hehe, Miss Anjie won't tire you out, right?"

Zhou Kar's statement is more or less ambiguous...... It can even be said to be ambiguous at the level of meat jokes.

Faced with this kind of joke, Jiang Yan could only pretend that he didn't understand anything.

Because he knew that his relationship with An Jie couldn't be explained anyway...... What else can I say about living together.

The reason why An Jie and Jiang Yan will also live together on the airship is mainly because of the limited number of rooms on the airship.

In addition, Parunis also seemed to think that the two were a couple, so she directly arranged a room for them.

When Jiang Yan reacted, it was already too late, so he could only live like this.

Fortunately, during the previous time in the Holy Capital, the two of them also slept together, and there was no problem when they got used to sleeping.

If there's anything that Jiang Ember is not used to, it's that An Jie's sleeping appearance is really bad...... The kind that often rolls on to him when he falls asleep.

But I have to say that it is quite interesting to sleep with such a bed partner, interesting in all aspects.

With the smoke of gunpowder slowly rising in the kitchen, there is also Zhou Karl's chattering homely chatter.

Before you know it, a barbecue feast on an airship is finally ready, ready to meet the stomach test of diners.
