Yuelaiju and Songyue Pavilion side halls.
Yan Nantian's brows furrowed slightly, considering Lin Yue'er's suggestion, Yan Nantian is just a helper now, if you want to improve your status quickly, this time is definitely a good opportunity.
Otherwise, the flesh and blood of the demonic beast was extremely precious, and with Yan Nantian's own financial resources, he couldn't afford it at all, let alone cook, Yan Nantian was silent for a moment, and then decided to fight for this opportunity.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I accept your suggestion. ā
"Then you can introduce, how are you going to cook the jade duck?" Lin Yue'er asked.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I would like to take a look at the manual of the first-order ingredients and determine the ingredients of this dish. Yan Nan Tian Ti yƬ said.
"Hmph, isn't that recipe from your family's ancestor? Why do you have to read the ingredient manual again, could it be that you were lying just now, and now you want to make up a few ingredients temporarily?" Liu Qiming's eyes lit up, like a wild dog staring at his prey, and questioned.
"If all the ingredients I made up improvised can be recognized by the two spirit chefs, then my cooking skills will not be far from the realm of the god of cooking. Yan Nantian sneered.
"Xue'er, get a first-order ingredient manual for Junior Brother Yan. Lin Yue'er commanded and said.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
Yan Nantian wants to make this Magu duck head, which was made by a woman named Magu in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, this dish is not only delicious, but the most important thing is to completely retain the nutrition of the duck head.
The ingredients used in this Magu duck head are also some more precious, including cordyceps, grass fruit, cumin, sesame pepper, ginger, jasmine, pear, tangerine peel, **, salt, etc.
Among them, the most important is Cordyceps, which is a traditional Chinese traditional Chinese medicinal material, a pound of Cordyceps sinensis is worth 100,000 yuan, and the nutrients contained in it are also extremely rich.
The reason why Yan Nantian wanted to read the first-order ingredient manual was to replace the ingredients on the earth with the ingredients of Tianyuan Da 6 according to their functions and effects, which was definitely not an easy task.
Even with Yan Nantian's profound cooking skills, he must study and carefully consider it, otherwise the slightest improper handling of ingredients may affect the spiritual power of the whole dish.
Yan Nantian took the ingredient manual, carefully looked at each ingredient, found the ingredient with the most similar effect, and corresponded many ingredients one by one to avoid the situation of ingredients restraining each other.
There are many ingredients needed for Magu duck head, and Yan Nantian wants to replace many ingredients one by one, and it also takes a lot of time to scrutinize, and a stick of incense has passed in a blink of an eye.
When Zhou Xuebin and Wu Qiankun studied the dishes of the Ling Kitchen, they often forgot the time, so they didn't care about it, Lin Yue'er's beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and they couldn't see anything unusual, but Chen Xue and Liu Qiming were a little impatient.
"Yan Nantian, if you can't do it, if you are not sure, don't waste our time. Liu Qiming rebuked in a low voice.
Yan Nantian turned a deaf ear to Liu Qiming's questioning and continued to look through the manual, but Zhou Xuebin, Lin Yueer, Wu Qiankun and others did not react, although Liu Qiming was dissatisfied, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
After another quarter of an hour, Yan Nancai breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand at everyone, and said, "You've been waiting for a long time." ā
Hearing Yan Nantian speak, everyone looked over, among which Lin Yue'er opened her mouth to inquire and said, "Little Brother Yan, how are you thinking about cooking the ingredients for the jade duck head?"
"I'm ready, I'll talk to the two seniors. Yan Nantian responded and said slowly: "The dish I want to make is called glazed duck head, in addition to the jade duck head, the most important ingredient is glazed cordyceps." ā
After some research just now, Yan Nantian replaced some ingredients, Cordyceps sinensis with glass Cordyceps, and changed the name of Magu duck head, directly renamed glazed duck head.
"Cordyceps?"
Hearing the first ingredient Yan Nantian said, Zhou Xuebin couldn't help but move slightly, lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Duck meat is cold, glass cordyceps is hot, and if the two are cooked together, the spiritual power of fusion will be more refined." ā
"Glass Cordyceps with Jade Duck is indeed a good match, but Glass Cordyceps is more special, belonging to fungi and insect parasites, once cooked at high temperatures, these two spiritual powers may be separated, leading to the spiritual power disorder of the dish. Wu Qiankun analyzed it and questioned:
"How are you going to fix that?"
"Cordyceps has a companion plant called Sky Blue Grass, which has no spiritual power itself, but it has a special function that can coordinate the spiritual power of Cordyceps itself, so that the spiritual power of Cordyceps can remain stable. Yan Nantian explained.
"Hmph, even if you are right about these two points, but the inside of the duck head is very complicated, and the spiritual power of each part of the duck head is also different, some parts can be absorbed by the human body as long as they are cooked a little, and the spiritual power will be lost after a long time, and some parts need to be cooked for a long time, otherwise the impurities in the spiritual power cannot be removed, how can you solve this?" Wu Qiankun asked.
"Senior Wu, I naturally understand this situation, in a certain amount of cooking time, different ingredients will be added to protect the integrity of the duck head's spiritual power, but the specific ingredients added are inconvenient to disclose. Yan Nantian said perfunctorily, and then looked at Lin Yue'er on the side, and said:
"Shopkeeper Lin, I have already said two ingredients just now, if there are more, I am afraid that the recipe will be leaked, as for whether I have the ability to cook jade duck, you still need to judge for yourself?"
Seeing that Yan Nantian said that the head was the Tao, and he looked confident, Lin Yue'er was also a little undecided, turned her head to look at Zhou Xuebin and Wu Qiankun and asked, "Brother Zhou, Brother Wu, what do you think of the ingredients that Junior Brother Yan just listed?"
"As far as the two ingredients are concerned, there is indeed nothing wrong with it, but the duck meat with glass cordyceps may make the spiritual power of this dish more complicated, and the difficulty of cooking will also increase a part, as for whether this dish can be done well, it still depends on the rest of the accessories. Wu Qiankun explained.
"Yes, I agree with Brother Wu. Zhou Xuebin nodded in agreement.
Lin Yue'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she glanced at the three of them, Zhou Xuebin and Wu Qiankun were both spirit chefs, Lin Yue'er naturally believed in their abilities, if they said that they could make a jade duck head, Lin Yue'er would definitely be convinced.
However, now the two spirit chefs are ambiguous, and they don't have the confidence to make a jade duck head, but Yan Nantian, the new chef, is full of confidence, no matter how you look at this scene, it's a little weird.
Since Lin Yue'er can become the shopkeeper of the restaurant, she is naturally not a person without decision, the two ingredients Yan Nantian just said, since they have been recognized by the two spirit chefs, it proves that Yan Nantian has a certain ability, plus Yan Nantian is full of confidence, what if Lin Yue'er believes him once.
What's more, life is originally a gamble, if Yan Nan can really make the spiritual power dish of jade duck head, then it can be regarded as a genius, and it has greater value for the restaurant.
"Since you are so confident, sister, I will believe you once, and I will also provide you with free ingredients, but if you can't make the spiritual power dish of the jade duck head, I won't spare you. Lin Yue'er chuckled, waved her small fist, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. Hearing that Lin Yue'er agreed, Yan Nantian showed a touch of joy and said.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Wu, Brother Yan, when are you going to cook, I will ask someone to provide you with the jade duck on time. Lin Yue'er asked.
"Tomorrow morning. Wu Qiankun said.
"Tomorrow afternoon. Zhou Xuebin said.
"The morning after tomorrow. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
"Then I'll send someone to prepare it, and try to provide you with fresh ingredients. Lin Yue'er answered, discussed some details with the three of them, and then sent the four of them out of Songyue Pavilion.
......
After seeing the four of them leave, Lin Yue'er and Chen Xue stood at the door, talking in a low voice.
"Shopkeeper, you asked me to bring Junior Brother Yan here, did you already know that he would make a jade duck head?" Chen Xue stood aside and wondered.
"No, I just found out. Lin Yue'er said.
"Then why did you specifically ask me to come with him?" asked Chen Xue.
"Originally, there were some things, but now I am not in a hurry, if he can make the spiritual power dish of the jade duck head, I will naturally talk to him again, if he can't make this spiritual power dish, it proves that he is just a person with great ambition and talent, and there is no need to talk about it again." Lin Yue'er explained.
"The shopkeeper, this time the ingredients for cooking the jade duck head are all borne by the restaurant, if the three of them can't make spiritual dishes, then the restaurant won't be a big loss. Chen Xue said worriedly.
"There are some things, not in terms of immediate gains and losses, Du Youzhen is willing to pay three times the price to buy dishes, which is enough to prove that his friend is extraordinary, and according to the information I have obtained, I can guess the identity of this person, if I can make friends with this person, it will also be of great benefit to our Yuelaiju." Lin Yue'er's eyes flashed with a fine light, and said.
"It's a pity, if Li Yue'e Ling Kitchen was in the restaurant, it wouldn't have been so complicated. Chen Xue sighed, showed a touch of curiosity again, and asked:
"Shopkeeper, which of the three people you say can make this jade duck head spiritual power dish?"
After hearing Chen Xue's words, Lin Yue'er groaned slightly, but she didn't answer directly, and asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't know who can make spiritual power dishes?" Chen Xue stretched out her little hand, touched her chin and smiled:
"However, I can't help but think in my heart, if the two spirit chefs fail to make it, but Yan Nantian makes a spiritual power dish, what kind of situation will it be?"
Hearing Chen Xue's words, the corners of Lin Yue'er's mouth hooked up with a smile, and said, "If that's the case, then it will be interesting." ā
