Chapter 44 People are divided into men and women, and things are divided into yin and yang

In the kitchen of Shunfeng Building, Shopkeeper Hong watched Tang Chen busy nervously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Yiming only gave Shunfeng Lou an hour, such a long time, refining spiritual food must be enough, Tang Chen also has experience in refining second-grade spiritual food, but the crux of the problem is that the fat man brought not ordinary ingredients. The special ingredients meant that it was difficult to refine successfully, and the tight time and limited ingredients meant that Tang Chen had no way to try too much.

"Master Tang, have you ever refined a big puffer fish and a rock turtle?" Shopkeeper Hong knew that he shouldn't disturb Tang Chen at this time, but he still couldn't help but ask.

"Nope. Tang Chen didn't raise his head.

"Are you sure?" asked Shopkeeper Hong, whose face turned pale.

"I'll try. ”

Shopkeeper Hong could no longer speak, and stood there silently.

Next to him, all the chefs and assistant chefs in Shunfeng Lou also watched silently, everyone already knew what was happening in the lobby, and knew whether Shunfeng Lou could continue to open, it all depended on whether Tang Chen could refine these two spiritual foods. Ma Biao is a good owner, usually not thin to everyone, everyone doesn't want him to be kicked out of Dongtai Town like this, the longer he stays in Shunfeng Building, the more he has feelings for here.

"Master Tang, if you need help, just speak. "Old Lin Dao.

Tang Chen unceremoniously beckoned Lao Lin over, pointed to the big puffer fish and said: "Puffer fish has tetrodotoxin, which is resistant to acid and high temperatures, and it is easy to cause poisoning, so you need to be very careful when handling it." Master Lin, you remove all the internal organs, blood, gonads, and skin of the big puffer fish, and call me after cleaning them. ”

Lao Lin is the chief chef, who has dealt with ordinary puffer fish, and knows that the internal organs, blood, and gonads of ordinary puffer fish contain toxins, but other parts are also poisonous, but he has never heard of it, at least he has not peeled it when it was processed, so he confirmed: "Don't want the skin?"

"Don't!

Lao Lin stopped talking and personally copied the knife to kill the big pufferfish.

After handing over the big puffer fish to Lao Lin, Tang Chen began to concentrate on studying the practice of rock turtles.

It is not difficult to refine large pufferfish, mainly because the tetrodotoxin all over the body is very annoying, and the amount of poison in each part will vary depending on the breeding environment and seasonal changes, and it is difficult for experienced refiners to accurately judge the toxicity of large pufferfish. Fortunately, Tang Chen's spiritual eyes have the ability to recognize poison, and the poison of the big puffer fish has nothing to hide under the spiritual eyes, and Tang Chen is confident that he can refine the second-grade spiritual food. The remaining problem, of course, is the more elusive rock turtle.

Since traditional methods of refining can't produce commensurate spiritual food, there must be something unusual about the rock turtle.

There is only one rock turtle, and time is pressing, Tang Chen needs to find out the reason in a very short time!

The two cooks ran around to prepare what Tang Chen needed, such as: a pot of vinegar-water ratio of 1:3 solution, light salt water dripping with a small amount of wisteria juice, vegetable oil mixed with the same amount of old soup, and then put in two azure flowers, and the bottom of the pot was mixed with water...... Everyone didn't understand what these things were used for, but seeing Tang Chen's serious expression and deep thought, everyone consciously closed their mouths.

The turtle stuck its head out and looked around.

At this moment, one hand grabbed its shell and threw it into the vinegar-aqueous solution. The rock turtle that was suddenly caught immediately retracted its head, limbs and tail, and when it found that it had been thrown into the water, it slowly stretched its body out of its shell, its head raised high, and its four short legs did not believe it, as if it wanted to leave the vinegar water, but it was obviously difficult for it to climb up the smooth edge of the basin.

However, after only twenty breaths, Tang Chen had already grabbed it and threw it into another basin.

After a quarter of the incense, the rock turtle had already passively swam around the basin and was then fished out.

Tang Chen's eyes showed confusion, maintaining the posture he had taken when testing the rock turtle, and he half-squatted on the ground and fell into deep thought.

He looked like this, obviously encountering something difficult to decide, Shopkeeper Hong and the others were all cold, knowing that they should not disturb Tang Chen's thinking, but seeing that time passed little by little, they were extremely anxious, and they were extremely entangled for a while.

"Master Tang, the big puffer fish has been dealt with..."Lao Lin couldn't help but remind.

"Oh. Tang Chen got up, walked quickly to Lao Lin, the light in his eyes flashed, and then grabbed a knife, cut the big puffer fish into two pieces, handed one of them to Lao Lin, and said: "There is still a little poisonous blood in it, you can cut it to squeeze it and clean it;

Lao Lin nodded, although he didn't know how Tang Chen found out, he suddenly had more confidence in Tang Chen.

Tang Chen returned to the rock turtle, thinking quickly in his mind.

Just now, he tested the rock turtle according to the method of identifying unfamiliar ingredients recorded in the "Gluttonous Sutra", and sure enough, he found some differences between the rock turtle and ordinary turtles, but it was not enough for him to draw a final conclusion. There were a number of other tests in the Gluttonous Sutra that might have helped him to further understand the properties of the rock turtle, but Shunfeng Lou lacked some of the necessary materials.

Time is also an enemy, Tang Chen had to take a risk and asked, "Who will kill the turtle!"

"Me!"

A middle-aged chef stood up, and after receiving Tang Chen's signal, the chef quickly took out a thin chopstick and stretched the head of the chopstick to the mouth of the rock turtle. The rock turtle bit the head of the chopstick, the chef grabbed the thin chopstick with one hand, and pulled the neck of the rock turtle outward, and there was already a kitchen knife in the other hand, and the kitchen knife was cut off by the trend, and the decapitation of the rock turtle was easily completed. After completing this step, the next thing is much easier, and the middle-aged chef cleanly peels the shell, guts, and divides the meat.

When the middle-aged chef was cutting the turtle meat, Tang Chen took some rock turtle blood, put it in a small bowl, and then added something to the bowl.

"I understand!" Tang Chen said suddenly, looking delighted.

"What's wrong?" said the shopkeeper in a trembling voice.

"Rock turtles are really a little different from ordinary turtles. People are divided into men and women, things are divided into yin and yang, and the same is true for ingredients, turtles, turtles, fish and shrimp are aquariums, mostly negative, when encountering aquarium ingredients, they are all matched with negative seasonings, supplemented by the corresponding refining methods, usually can refine a good spiritual food. But although this rock turtle is a turtle, it is masculine, and if it is refined by the method of negative ingredients, there will definitely be problems... However, I have never touched these two ingredients before, so I am really not sure if I can refine the second-grade spiritual food..."

Shopkeeper Hong heard a rough idea and cried with joy: "Just do your best." ”

Tang Chen nodded, and after figuring out the attributes of the rock turtle, the cooking plan was quickly determined, and the materials needed were handled by the kitchen, and Tang Chen came to Lao Lin's side. After checking it again with his spiritual eyes and confirming that he could no longer see the black color representing poison in his sight, Tang Chen began to stir up the aura of the cut puffer fish meat.

The cooks found that Tang Chen's aura stirred for longer than ever before, after all, it was an ingredient that had never been handed, and in order to increase the probability of refining a second-grade spiritual food, Tang Chen was extra careful.

Half an hour later, two portions of spiritual food were served to Lu Yiming's dining table.
