Chapter 182: Yanxiang Soup
"Yanxiang soup. ”
"Senior Zhang, how should this Yanxiang soup be cooked, and what ingredients are needed?" Yan Nantian asked.
"This Yanxiang soup was also developed casually by me back then, so it is not difficult to cook this soup, and the ingredients used are also very ordinary, but the combination of ingredients is a little special, and most people can't imagine it. Zhang Jiuling said.
"I also ask my seniors to teach me. ”
"The main ingredient of this Yanxiang soup is to use the bones of mosquito coil rabbits as the main ingredient, and then add star anise, bean roots, Tian Bocao, Ming fish juice, ink flower, dragon fruit and other ingredients, but the order of cooking must not be disordered, otherwise the spiritual power of the whole soup will be destroyed, and the cooking time of each dish also has requirements, if you want to cook this dish well, you have to be under my supervision. Zhang Jiuling said.
"Senior Zhang, in addition to the bones of the mosquito coil rabbit, I have most of the ingredients in my storage bag, I want to cook this dish first, enhance the fragrance of the mosquito coil rabbit, and also shorten the time to capture prey. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
"Yes, or I'll teach you what to do. Zhang Jiuling said.
"Ahem......"
With Zhang Jiuling's consent, he turned his head to Liu Dabiao on the side and said, "Village Chief Liu, I can cook a soup, after letting the mosquito rabbit eat it, it can enhance the fragrance in the mosquito rabbit's body, and it will also be easier for the Tiens Demon Beast to take the bait, so I want to go back and cook this soup first, what do you think?"
"Oh, and this peculiar soup?" asked Liu Dabiao.
"Yes, but I'll also need the bones of the mosquito coil rabbit to make this soup. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
"Good. In our village, there should be mosquito coil rabbit bones, I'll ask a villager to get some for you, but what if the Tiens Demon Beast takes the bait while you're leaving?" asked Liu Dabiao.
"It's easy, I can cook this soup around here, and once you find the traces of the Tiens Demon Beast, you can send a villager to inform me. Yan Nantian said.
"Okay, that's it. Liu Dabiao said.
"Then I'll find a place to prepare other ingredients first, and then the villagers will find the bones of the mosquito coil rabbit. Just send it to me. "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
"Okay. Liu Dabiao said.
"Farewell. Yan Nantian said hello. Then he walked straight in the direction of the other side.
After seeing Yan Nantian leave, Liu Dabiao turned his head to look at Liu Qiming and said, "Qiming, can you cook soup that can enhance the fragrance of mosquito coils and rabbits?"
"No, it won't. Liu Qiming glanced at Liu Dabiao. I don't know what he meant by asking. just responded lightly. Road.
"Who do you think is better than this Yan Ling chef?" asked Liu Dabiao, who seemed curious.
"The art of cooking is very profound, and different people are proficient in different dishes. It's hard to tell the difference between high and low. Liu Qiming's face changed, and he said stiffly.
"How did you and this Yan Ling Chef meet?" Yan Nantian asked.
"Yan Nantian, like me, stayed in Yuelaiju for a while, but they didn't get along well at that time, and the reason why I left Yuelaiju also had something to do with him. Liu Qiming was silent for a moment and said.
"One more friend, one more road, one more enemy, one more risk. Liu Dabiao sighed and said earnestly: "Qiming, it is better for men to be broad-minded, as long as they are not enemies of life and death, what grievances can't be resolved?"
"I understand. Liu Qiming nodded, and muttered to himself: "This Yan Ling chef is not easy to get along with, he doesn't embarrass me now, I have already burned high incense." ”
Not far from the Octagonal Valley, a simple tent was set up, and some simple kitchen utensils were placed in the tent, which was Yannan Tianxuan's temporary kitchen.
"Senior Zhang, the villagers of Liujia Village have already sent the bones of the mosquito coil rabbit, and the other ingredients are ready, so we can start cooking Yanxiang soup. Yan Nantian said.
"Boy, I don't need you to talk nonsense, my spiritual sense has already sensed it. Zhang Jiuling said.
"Senior Zhang, I have already preheated the iron pot, how to cook it next?"
"Get half a pot of hot water, when the hot water is half-boiled, put the dragon fruit in it first, and then add the two ingredients of star anise and mosquito rabbit bones after the water boils, as for the other ingredients, we will talk about it later. Zhang Jiuling said.
"Okay. ”
Yan Nantian responded, and then according to what Zhang Jiuling said, he began to boil water and prepare ingredients, this Yanxiang soup is not complicated to cook, and Zhang Jiuling is pointing out on the side, and Yan Nantian has handled each process very well.
After the water in the pot boiled, Yan Nantian put in the two ingredients of star anise and mosquito rabbit bones in turn, after these two ingredients were put into the water, the whole pot of water was churned, and it exuded a kind of aroma.
After a quarter of an hour, the aroma emanating from the pot became more and more intense, and under Zhang Jiuling's prompting, Yan Nantian put in the two ingredients of bean and Tian Bocao, and after these two ingredients were put in, the soup turned dark green.
After boiling for nearly half an hour, the fish juice and ink flowers were added, and the color of the whole pot of water changed again, and it actually turned into a dark purple, and it also emitted a faint light, and the aroma became more and more intense, even Yan Nantian couldn't help but want to take a sip.
Looking at the color of the Yanxiang soup, Yan Nantian asked with some concern: "Senior, if this Yanxiang soup is made of this color, will the mosquito rabbit take the initiative to drink it?"
"Don't worry, mosquito coil rabbits are colorblind and can't distinguish colors at all, just by taste. Zhang Jiuling said: "Yanxiang soup is almost ready, you can put out this pot of soup, and after cooling, you can let the mosquito coil rabbit drink, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the fragrance on the mosquito coil rabbit will become bigger." ”
"Okay, Senpai. ”
Yan Nantian answered, and according to Zhang Jiuling's instructions, he took out the Yanxiang soup, put it in a basin prepared in advance, covered it with a lid, and walked towards the direction of the cliff.
Along the way, Yan Nantian met several villagers from Liujia Village, who were very respectful to Yan Nantian, and everyone bent down to salute, and in their minds, the spirit chef was a fairy-like figure.
"Yan Lingchu, are you back?" Liu Dabiao stood up and said.
"Village Chief Liu, is there still no shadow of the Heavenly Liens Demon Beast?" Yan Nantian looked at the direction of the trap and said.
"Yes, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while. Liu Dabiao said.
"You send someone, catch the mosquito coil rabbit on the trap, I have already cooked Yanxiang soup, you can try to enhance the fragrance of the mosquito coil rabbit, it is better than waiting like this." "Yannan Heavenly Dao.
"I caught that mosquito coil rabbit, and I fixed it on the trap, so I'd better catch it. Liu Qiming answered, and then walked in the direction of the trap.
The mosquito coil rabbit was tied to the trap, and there was a rope on his legs, Liu Qiming could drag the mosquito coil rabbit off the trap as long as he pulled the rope, and then brought it to Yan Nantian and the others.
At this time, Yan Nantian prepared a plate and poured some Yanxiang soup into the plate, and after the mosquito rabbit smelled the fragrance of Yanxiang soup, he ran over and drank it in a big gulp.
"This soup tastes good, I wonder if people can drink it?" Liu Dabiao said with a smile.
"There are no toxin-containing ingredients in the ingredients of mosquito coil rabbits, so it's okay for humans to drink it, as long as you're not afraid of too much body odor and being taken away by wolves at night. Yan Nantian quipped.
"Forget it, then. Liu Dabiao waved his hand and said.
The mosquito coil rabbit seemed to like the taste very much, and soon drank the soup on the plate, Liu Qiming put him on the trap again, and everyone lay next to the trap again to observe if the mosquito coil rabbit was abnormal.
At first, the mosquito coil rabbit was not abnormal, but it looked very lively, and after a quarter of an hour, the mosquito coil rabbit gradually quieted down, exuding a strong fragrance.
"It's so strong, I can smell it from so far away, it's incredible. Liu Dabiao clenched his fists with both hands and shouted excitedly.
Seeing Liu Dabiao's surprised appearance, Liu Qiming pursed his lips and said, "Village Chief, you don't need to be so surprised, the Lingchu dishes are broad and profound, this is not that amazing." ”
"What do you know, if we have this kind of soup in our village, it will be very easy to catch prey, and it will be able to reduce the danger of hunting, and the whole village will be rich, which is more precious than any spirit kitchen dishes for our Liujia Village. Liu Dabiao's tone was still difficult to calm down, and there was a touch of awe in his eyes when he turned his head to look at Yan Nantian.
Yan Nantian smiled, he didn't expect that Liu Dabiao, who had always been calm, would suddenly become so excited, but it is not difficult to understand that this kind of fragrant soup that can enhance the fragrance of the bait can play a huge role in hunting.
"Yan Lingchu, I don't know what the name of this soup is?" asked Liu Dabiao.
"Yanxiang soup. ”
"Chef Yan Ling, I have a reluctant request below, and I hope you can agree. Liu Dabiao took a deep breath, looked at Yan Nantian with a sincere face, and said.
"Village Chief Liu, please speak. Yan Nantian made a gesture of please and said lightly.
"I don't know, can you teach this Yanxiang soup to the villagers of our Liujia Village, I know it's very presumptuous to say this, but this soup is too important for our Liujia Village, we are willing to exchange anything. Liu Dabiao said.
"Village Chief Liu, let me think about it, this soup was also passed on to me by a friend, and I can't promise you all at once. Yan Nantian said.
"Okay, I'm abrupt, I hope you don't be surprised, whether you agree to teach us this Yanxiang soup or not, you are the most honored guest of our Liujia Village. Liu Dabiao bowed and saluted.
"Thank you. Yan Nantian returned the salute and said.
Seeing Liu Dabiao behave like this, Liu Qiming opened his mouth and didn't say anything, although he didn't admit on the surface that he was worse than Yan Nantian's cooking skills, but he knew very well in his heart that just by virtue of Yan Nantian being a spiritual chef, he was 108,000 miles better than himself.
Perhaps, his master Wu Qiankun in Wujiang Town, may not be able to compare to Yan Nantian in front of him.
