Chapter 2 Foodies
The forest without animals brought Tang Chen huge psychological pressure, and the fear of the unknown was unsettling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Tang Chen faced fear and stress, his self-regulation method was simple and effective: eating.
Fighting requires energy and energy, so, in order to fight better (although this guy actually has little combat effectiveness), eating food helps to distract attention, so, in order to relieve stress, eating! eating is a process, and the process consumes time, so when you are bored, in order to pass the time, eat! Eating when you are happy can make you feel better, eating when you are unhappy can forget your troubles, you need to eat to extend your life when you are hungry, and you can also eat something to save energy when you are not hungry......
In short, in any case, eating is a necessity, a priority, a matter of course, and a priority that will surely make the world a better place.
The worldview of foodies is as simple and crude as that.
"If my brother is destined to confess here, then he has to eat enough, and he will never be a starving ghost!"
Looking at the rabbit's remains, Tang Chen quickly removed another bag from his waist and skillfully took out one item after another from it: sweet sauce, salt, oil, cooking wine, chili, fennel, cinnamon, vanilla...... In addition to the small bottles containing various condiments, there were cutting boards, full sets of knives, shovels, large and small soup spoons, baskets, soup basins, dishes and chopsticks, woks, porcelain pots, and some messy things, and in the end, he even took out a set of tied barbecue forks.
The things taken out have long exceeded the normal volume of the bag.
This bag is obviously not an ordinary bag, but a Qiankun bag with internal storage function, although it is the lowest and cheapest one, but it can already allow him to carry more than enough cutlery and condiments with him.
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the neatly arranged cooking items, as if a general was reviewing his own troops. Then they put things back one by one, and in the end all they were left on the floor was a horn knife, a cutting board, cutlery, some spices, and a barbecue fork.
Apparently he had figured out what to do with the poor rabbit, who had died heroically: roasted and eaten.
The horror of falling from a high cliff and the fear of not finding a way out of the valley are all gone at this time. He looked at the rabbit with a focused and soft gaze, like a devout monk worshipping the Buddha, his distracting thoughts thrown out of the clouds, and his face was full of holy radiance.
For a foodie, the magic of food is enough to sweep away all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
There is a ready-made precious ingredient in his hands: the grass rabbit, which makes Tang Chen's motivation to make delicious food reach full value. At the waterhole, he completed a series of steps such as skinning, washing, deboning, and cutting at an astonishing speed, and the whole process was carried out almost without thinking, and his skillful knife skills and familiarity with the body structure of rabbits were fully revealed.
After a while, the rabbit was left with a complete skeleton.
All the meat is cut to the right length and size, mixed with seasonings, and neatly arranged on the plate.
Tang Chen looked at the rabbit meat on the plate, his eyes shining, like a hungry wolf. However, as a foodie with considerable experience in cooking, he knows that these rabbit meat needs to be marinated for at least half a column of fragrant time before the roasted taste is delicious enough.
Precious ingredients are rare, but you can't learn from those hungry guys who do stupid things like burning the piano and cooking cranes.
Tang Chen has always believed that eating is a science, and gobbling up everything is a shame in the foodie world!
Foodies are graded.
During the waiting time, Tang Chen was not idle.
Firewood is required for barbecue, but depending on the firewood used, the taste of the food will be significantly different. The firewood should not be too wet, otherwise a lot of smoke will be produced when burned. The type of firewood is also very important, for example, the firewood taken from the cypress tree, the roasted food will have its own unique fragrance of cypress, and the old bacon is more expensive after being smoked with cypress, and the taste is better, so it can naturally be sold at a higher price.
Anything related to food, Tang Chen has a strong desire to learn and practice.
His example proves a truth: gluttony is the driving force behind human progress!
There were a lot of dead branches and leaves in the forest, Tang Chen quickly found enough firewood for the barbecue nearby, Tang Chen didn't stop there, he was ready to prepare enough firewood for the night. Spending the night in the wilderness and lighting a bonfire can scare off most wild beasts, and although no animal infestation has been found in this forest, Tang Chen is still willing to make more preparations and be prepared.
Tang Chen chose a temporary camp, and soon piled up enough firewood to last the night.
After estimating the time, the grass rabbit meat still needs to be marinated for a while.
Tang Chen began to circle around the trees around the camp.
This forest made Tang Chen extremely uneasy, the haze of no animals always lingered, and he could not predict what would happen to him. He was ready to spend the night on the ground, using a campfire to defend himself against possible attacks, but not all beasts would be frightened by the fire, and there might be unknown dangers, and he was prepared to go up the tree to protect himself if necessary. Before that, he had to figure out which trees he could climb quickly.
Tang Chen has always been afraid of death.
Only by staying alive can you eat more food!
The rabbit meat is finally marinated.
Although it may be his last meal, Tang Chen still seemed relaxed and happy when he started the barbecue, and it seemed that all his worries and worries had been left behind him.
One palm stretched out, and a flame appeared out of thin air.
[Fire Separation Sutra], which is Tang Chen's major practice, is very ordinary, and the benefit is that it slightly enhances the monk's ability to control fire, and is widely used in refining, alchemy, food refining and other fields. Tang Chen has shown signs of carrying forward the [Lihuo Sutra], which has been widely used in the field of cooking, from igniting fires, cooking, to destroying food scraps, Tang Chen has become more and more proficient.
The pyre was lit, and there was some smoke at first, but Tang Chen quickly used skillful techniques to stabilize the fire.
A marinated strip of rabbit meat is skewered onto a homemade barbecue fork.
One hand controls the firewood and the other controls the barbecue fork, which is constantly turning in the fire. The oil contained in the rabbit meat is forced out, making a sizzling sound, and soon a mouth-watering aroma is heard. The gentle evening breeze carries these scents into the distance.
The first rabbit strip is placed on a plate next to it, and the aroma is fragrant and the juice is overflowing.
"Wind Flow!"
The wind acceleration spell was used by Tang Chen to cool down food.
Tang Chen also has a little water-based spells, in terms of cooling speed, water-based spells are faster than wind-based spells, but after the water vapor touches the roasted meat, it will inevitably make the taste drop slightly. Such a flaw is completely unacceptable to the teenager who considers himself a food artist.
The speed at which the Wind Flowing Technique cools down is actually not much slower than that of the Water Spell.
Tang Chen, who was already unbearable, bit off about one-fifth of the rabbit meat in one bite. Then, he closed his eyes and chewed carefully, his expression serious, as if he had used all his mind to test the results of the battle. After a while, Tang Chen's thick eyebrows bent into willow leaves, and his facial expression gradually changed, from serious to surprised, and finally to intoxication, and let out a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
"Ah~ It's not in vain that brother has worked so hard for so long!"
The taste of the grass rabbit makes foodies very satisfied.
"It's okay to marinate, it's just that the roasting is a little too much, and the time has to be reduced by five breaths; the loss of spiritual power contained in the rabbit meat during roasting is very large, if it is seen by those refiners, they will definitely scold my brother for ruining the ingredients, but my brother is not interested in cultivation, how can he care about the spiritual power in the ingredients? Good taste is the king." ”
The so-called refining refers to the special ratio and careful and professional processing of the ingredients rich in aura, so that the aura in the ingredients will be thoroughly stimulated, which is more conducive to the body's absorption.
The spiritual power absorbed from spiritual food is relatively mild and harmless to the body.
Tang Chen had spent three months learning to refine food, and he didn't want to be helpless when faced with ingredients that contained spiritual power. However, the focus of Tang Chen's study was on how to make the ingredients more delicious, rather than how to fully stimulate the spiritual power in the ingredients, which was far from the right path of refining food. When Tang Chen was learning to refine food, the talent and enthusiasm he showed made the refining teacher ecstatic, and the teacher even planned to let Tang Chen inherit the mantle. However, that guy didn't take the right path, and for the sake of taste, he changed his way to spoil the ingredients, and he was getting farther and farther away from the teacher's expectations......
The foodie completes the technical analysis with the first rabbit strip, and the rest is all about enjoying the time wonderfully.
After fine-tuning the cooking plan, Tang Chen began to use two barbecue forks at the same time.
In fact, he has no problem operating ten skewers of barbecue at the same time, and the reason why he conservatively chooses two skewers is due to technical considerations: the best chewing speed, the best eating temperature, and the food cooling speed...... Usually, he may be a little casual, but if he encounters precious and rare ingredients, Tang Chen's persistence in this regard is almost stubborn, and the degree of stubbornness is directly proportional to the preciousness of the ingredients.
Waiting for the brief moment when the second batch of rabbit meat was roasted, the green light in Tang Chen's eyes was even stronger.
Two more roasted rabbit strips were placed on the dinner plate, Tang Chen held one of them in his mouth with his teeth, although he was scalded by the rabbit meat in the high temperature and inhaled the cool air, but he never let go, until the third batch of rabbit strips were skewered with a barbecue fork, he had the kung fu to grab the chopsticks with his only free hand, so that his lips were temporarily relieved, and the bad luck of being scalded and blistered was avoided.
A rabbit strip quickly went down, and Tang Chen stretched his chopsticks towards the plate beside him.
He froze, and there was nothing on the plate.
Tang Chen was very sure that there should be a rabbit strip on the plate. A seasoned foodie, his grasp of the rhythm of eating can be called a master, according to his cooking plan, when he eats another rabbit stick, the third batch is just roasted, so it is absolutely impossible for Tang Chen to make a mistake.
In a forest without animals, the food that was placed next to you suddenly disappeared......
Tang Chen suddenly shuddered.
A chill rushed from his spine to the top of his head, and a seemingly fearful emotion entangled him.
However, thinking of the lost grass rabbit meat, the panic and fear in the young man's heart were quickly expelled, his face was hideous, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Is it coming so soon...... Even if you want my brother's life, I should wait for my brother to finish eating, Lei won't beat the eaters!
Stealing people's food is unforgivable!
The bonfire reflected in his eyes, and two flames were blazing.
