Chapter 1136: Changing the Menu of Sacrificial Dishes
Bu Fang doesn't care what people call him.
Besides, in his opinion, kitchen tyrant is also a commendatory title.
As a chef, if you don't have absolute control in the kitchen, how can you be called an excellent chef?
As a chef, if you are in charge of a group of assistants who don't listen to orders and always think about cutting corners, what will this kitchen become? It will definitely become a mess.
In the week that Bu Fang was patrolling just now, Bu Fang found that at least half of the assistants cut corners in the process of handling ingredients, or they were lazy and reduced many steps.
Because these people often cook in the kitchen, they are accustomed to handling ingredients, and this kind of handling always reduces some operations inadvertently.
For example, some ingredients need to be peeled, and these assistants do peel, but there are general residues left in the peeled skin, and they are not carefully cleaned after peeling.
These processes may not be noticed by others, or they may think it is not a problem.
But for Bu Fang, these steps cannot be omitted. He is a man of excellence and has very strict requirements on cooking.
You can not do it, but if you cut corners, it will never work.
Jing Yuan has a good temper, so these people are unscrupulous.
Bu Fang has a bad temper. When cooking, he has a bad temper.
It's okay to cook alone on weekdays, but if there is a kitchen helper, any mistakes made by the kitchen helper will be completely reflected in his eyes.
Looking at Jing Yuan's leaving back, Bu Fang's face did not change at all.
For Bu Fang, cooking is an art, and for art, it is always necessary to strive for excellence.
Bu Fang pulled a chair and sat down.
His brows frowned slightly.
In his mind, the recipes for the three sacrificial dishes that he had seen in that room before appeared.
Jing Yuan told him that the three sacrificial dishes could not be changed.
But in Bu Fang's eyes,
these three dishes, although they look perfect, still have flaws.
If those defects can be modified and filled.
The taste and flavor of these three dishes will be even better.
The three dishes for the sacrifice have very nice names.
"Spring Breeze, Summer Injury, Autumn Astringency..."
Whoever named these three dishes... they are indeed interesting.
Bu Fang twitched his chin. Just from the names of these three dishes, Bu Fang could feel a faint sadness.
Of course, this may just be Bu Fang's own emotional perception.
Bu Fang did not move, just sat on the chair, brewing his emotions.
There are about five days left.
In these five days, the ingredients needed for the dishes need to be found and processed.
And the three dishes needed for the sacrifice must be cooked in advance.
There are many requirements and the time is very tight.
Time is passing quickly.
In the palace, the news about Bu Fang is also spreading rapidly.
The news that Bu Fang drove all the kitchen helpers out of the kitchen is also circulating rapidly throughout the palace, and even in the Goddess City.
Many people heard the news, and everyone's expression became a little strange and amusing.
Driving all the kitchen helpers out of the kitchen...
What does this man want to do? Eighteen dishes... Does he want to complete them alone?
Oh, he also left Chef Jing Yuan as an assistant.
But...
Even if Chef Jing Yuan is included, there are only two people, and two people want to cook a dish for a royal banquet... This difficulty is not small.
And those chefs who were driven out of the kitchen by Bu Fang even ridiculed Bu Fang.
The voice of contempt continued to spread.
For a time, the entire palace became quite pessimistic about this royal banquet.
When Queen Biluo learned the news.
It had been almost half a day.
"Did he really drive all the kitchen helpers out of the kitchen?" Hearing a maid say this, Queen Biluo's face suddenly showed an amusing look.
"Interesting... I'm looking forward to this banquet." Queen Biluo's red lips slightly grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth.
The maid was immediately puzzled, "Your Majesty, do you think that man can cook a banquet alone?"
"If he hadn't driven out those kitchen helpers, I might not have been so looking forward to it..." said the queen.
The maid was immediately confused.
"What kind of people are those? I don't know. I didn't have any expectations for the banquet in previous years. I just muddled through. But this year, maybe there will be some changes. If there are no changes, it will be a waste of my expectations."
Queen Biluo leaned lazily on the throne of spiritual gold, and her beautiful figure immediately outlined a perfect arc.
...
It took almost half a day.
Jing Yuan hurried back from a distance.
She saw Xiaobai standing at the door from a distance, and she was a little uneasy.
The power that Xiaobai had released before made her a little scared.
But she still mustered up the courage to push open the kitchen door and enter.
In the kitchen.
Bu Fang sat on a chair, thinking.
In his mind, he kept simulating the cooking of the dishes.
Suddenly, his eyes moved and looked into the distance, where Jing Yuan had returned.
Jing Yuan closed the kitchen door and walked towards Bu Fang. When he saw Bu Fang, he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and a large pile of ingredients appeared in the ingredient area.
"Here are two portions of ingredients for the King's Banquet, so Chef Bu has two chances... If you fail to cook a dish once, you can try again. Many of the ingredients are very precious, and only two portions can be collected in a short time."
Jing Yuan looked at Bu Fang and said.
Bu Fang stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the ingredient area, picked up the ingredients, and observed them.
Then he turned to look at Jing Yuan and said, "Go find some more green fruits and purple cloud grass..."
"Huh? Green fruits and purple cloud grass?" Jing Yuan was slightly stunned, and seemed a little puzzled.
"It seems that none of the eighteen dishes of the King's Banquet require these ingredients..."
Jing Yuan frowned and said.
Suddenly, as soon as she finished speaking, her body froze.
Because she raised her head, she happened to meet Bu Fang's faint gaze.
"I'll go now..."
Thinking of Bu Fang's previous disagreement in driving away all the kitchen helpers, Jing Yuan's face turned pale.
This is the kitchen tyrant, and she actually questioned his behavior.
A little fear suddenly surged in her heart.
Jing Yuan turned around and trotted away, and disappeared in a short while.
The corner of Bu Fang's mouth twitched suddenly...
This woman...is she stupid.
After Jing Yuan left.
Bu Fang's eyes fell on the ingredients and he exhaled lightly.
Rolling up the sleeves of his sparrow feather robe, Bu Fang was ready to start processing these ingredients.
Of course, what he was going to process now were the ingredients for the three sacrificial dishes.
Buzz...
A knife light flashed by in an instant.
Bu Fang's eyes suddenly became sharp.
The star curtain emerged and the meteor fell.
The next moment, a series of knife lights burst out.
All the ingredients soared into the sky, and under the impact of the knife light, they kept changing their shapes.
Skin flakes flew, and vegetable stems fell sideways.
Cut into strips, cubes, slices, everything was done almost perfectly.
After cutting the ingredients, Bu Fang washed them.
The water in Goddess City is a kind of clear water with rich spiritual energy, which is not inferior to Bu Fang's Tianshan spiritual spring water.
So Bu Fang did not change other water and washed directly.
Hula la.
In the huge kitchen.
Only the sound of Bu Fang washing the ingredients resounded.
After a long time.
Jing Yuan hurried back.
The two ingredients Bu Fang mentioned were quite rare. She searched through the food library before finally finding them.
When she pushed open the kitchen door and entered the kitchen, she saw the processed ingredients placed on the blue and white porcelain plate with crystal water droplets flowing.
Jing Yuan stayed where she was.
How long has it been since Bu Fang finished processing the ingredients needed for cooking sacrificial dishes?
"What are you doing? Give me the ingredients, and then you go and process the other ingredients. Remember, you must not be careless when processing the ingredients."
Bu Fang said.
Jing Yuan came back to his senses and quickly handed the two ingredients in his hand to Bu Fang.
The Biqing fruit is a emerald green fruit.
After Bu Fang took it, he just cut it with a dragon bone kitchen knife and cut it into two halves.
He took out the fruit cut into two halves, held it in one hand, squeezed it hard, squeezed out the emerald green juice, and dripped it into a prepared blue and white porcelain bowl.
As for the purple cloud grass, Bu Fang opened his mouth and sprayed a ball of white flames, burning the purple cloud grass.
The purple cloud grass turned into a ball of purple liquid.
The purple cloud grass liquid was also put into a blue and white porcelain bowl.
The ingredients for the three sacrificial dishes were processed.
"Biqing fruit and purple cloud grass don't seem to be the ingredients needed for sacrificial dishes, right?" Jing Yuan asked in confusion while processing the ingredients, looking in the direction of Bu Fang.
Bu Fang did not answer immediately, but glanced at Jing Yuan.
"Just watch it first, you will know later."
Bu Fang said.
The next moment.
The white tiger stove floated out, and the black tortoise pot was placed on the stove.
A ball of dark white flames gushed out, drilled into the stove, and burned fiercely.
The scorching heat suddenly burst out.
Bu Fang tied his hair with a velvet rope and began to cook.
The pot and spoon turned in Bu Fang's hand, and Bu Fang's sea-like spiritual power swept out, and the sparrow feather robe fluttered.
Jing Yuan was a little dazed when he saw it from a distance...
Bu Fang's cooking movements were smooth and dazzling.
One of the three sacrificial dishes, spring breeze.
This is a vegetarian dish. According to the records in the recipe, this dish is cooked with a mixture of 32 kinds of spiritual medicines and immortal materials. Each thing has a taste and cannot be mixed. It tastes like 32 different flavors, which is a great test of the chef's control.
It seems to symbolize the feeling of revival of all things and blooming of flowers in the spring breeze.
The so-called spring breeze means this.
Boom boom boom! !
The flames shot up to the sky.
The red flames in the Xuanwu pot shot up into the sky.
The ingredients were put into the pot, and the pot was flipped and stir-fried. Each ingredient shot up into the sky, the oil splashed, and the light flowed.
With a slight flip of the pot, the ingredients fell into the pot spoon, scooped out, and placed on the porcelain plate.
Under the control of mental power, the ingredients were placed on the plate very delicately.
The hot oil boiled and poured down, and the sound of hissing was heard endlessly.
It made that dish seem to burst out with brilliance.
Boom! !
Above the sky, there are thunderclouds sweeping over.
Thunder punishment is coming.
Of course, for Bu Fang, Xiaobai had to deal with the so-called thunder punishment.
This time... Xiaobai should be able to eat to his fill.
Jing Yuan watched with fascination. She learned a lot just by watching Bu Fang's cooking.
Among them, the control of heat and the degree of cookedness of ingredients...
It simply shocked her.
In the past, she only had a vague degree of control over these things, but Bu Fang's cooking was extremely precise.
This level requires practice... She is still far from it.
suddenly.
Jing Yuan's eyes changed.
Because she suddenly discovered that Bu Fang actually poured the juice of the green green fruit into the pot and brought it to a boil, then poured it directly on the dishes that had been placed on the plate.
This behavior...is not recorded in the recipe!
Suddenly, her expression changed.
"Chef Bu! No! There must be no changes in the cooking of the sacrificial dishes!"
Jing Yuan subconsciously shouted.
However, Bu Fang just glanced at her lightly and kept moving his hands.
Green juice splashed out.
