Everyone watched Tang Chen busy nervously.

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 problem is that the fat man brought not ordinary ingredients. Special ingredients mean that refining is more difficult, and if you don't know how to handle it, it's almost impossible to succeed. Time was tight and ingredients were limited, so Tang Chen couldn't 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 cooks and assistant chefs in Shunfeng Lou were silently watching, everyone already knew what was happening in the lobby, and whether Shunfeng Lou could continue to open 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 ask. "Old Lin Dao.

Tang Chen nodded, unceremoniously beckoned Lao Lin over, and 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 head chef who has dealt with ordinary puffer fish.

He knew that the internal organs, blood, and gonads of ordinary puffer fish contained toxins, but other parts were also poisonous, but he had never heard of them, at least they had not been skinned when they were handled, so he confirmed: "Don't want skin?"

"Toxic. ”

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

Handed over the pre-processing of the big puffer fish to Lao Lin, Tang Chen concentrated on studying the practice of rock turtles.

It is not difficult to refine large pufferfish, mainly because 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, even experienced refiners are difficult to accurately judge the toxin distribution of large pufferfish. Fortunately, Tang Chen found that the spiritual eye had the ability to recognize poison, and the poison of the big puffer fish could not be hidden under the spiritual eye, and the most headache-inducing toxicity problem had no effect on him, Tang Chen was confident that he could refine the second-grade spiritual food.

The remaining problem is the more elusive rock turtle.

Traditional methods can't refine a commensurate spiritual food, so there must be something unusual about the rock turtle.

A rock turtle, time is pressing, Tang Chen needs to find out the reason in a very short time.

The two cooks ran around preparing the things Tang Chen needed, such as: a basin 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 for, but seeing Tang Chen's serious expression and contemplation, 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 moved unbelievably, as if it wanted to leave the vinegar water, but it was difficult for it to climb up the smooth edge of the basin.

Twenty breaths later, Tang Chen grabbed it and threw it into another basin.

A quarter of the time the incense was held, and the rock turtle had already traveled around the basin and was fished out.

Tang Chen's eyes showed a look of confusion, maintaining the posture he had taken when testing the rock turtle, half-squatting on the ground and deep in thought.

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

"Master Tang, the big puffer fish has been handled. 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 he 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, he didn't know how Tang Chen found out, but 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 found that the rock turtle did have some differences from ordinary turtles and turtles, but it was not enough for him to draw a final conclusion. There are some other tests in the "Gluttonous Sutra" that may help him further understand the characteristics of the rock turtle, but they require some special materials, which Shunfeng Lou does not have.

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 see!"

Tang Chen said suddenly, looking delighted.

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

"Rock turtles are 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 a 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 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 stirring time this time was longer than ever, after all, it was an ingredient that had never been touched before, and in order to increase the probability of refining second-grade spiritual food, Tang Chen was extremely careful.

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