Chapter 566 Grilled Fish

"good!"

Almost immediately after Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou cheered, Tian Yunxiu also cheered.

However, Tian Yunxiu's applause and Jiang Yizhen's applause have completely different mentality! Jiang Yizhen and the others felt happy, but Tian Yunxiu had a strong urge to give in. She really wanted to find out what was going on! It was obvious that she was tasting food without immortality, so why did Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou produce immortality?

"What's good!"

Shang Wen, who was still sweating on his forehead, stopped Tian Yunxiu who wanted to get the chopsticks.

"We admit defeat!"

Shang Wen is still relatively rational, and now he has believed what Miao Miao said before, every mountain is higher than the next!

Although they can still afford to add one more high-grade Yuan-increasing food cultivation material, is it really worth spending such a resource in order to verify something that feels 90% likely to lose? Shang Wen didn't think it was worth it, and he didn't think Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou had lied against their will.

"Admit defeat? Just honor your previous promise if you admit defeat!" Gu Zheng sneered.

Like a defeated rooster, Shang Wen gave twenty special-grade resources to Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou in a dejected manner, and then gave Gu Zheng a piece of high-grade Zengyuan Food Repair ingredients.

"Apologise to us now and leave Wufeng Island!" Gu Zheng said seriously.

"I'm sorry. What happened this time was our fault. We broke the rules of Jixiang Xiaozhu. I'm sorry to everyone!"

Shang Wen clasped his fists around and lowered his head, not daring to look into anyone's eyes.

"And you!"

Lian Yuxin finally found a chance to take revenge. She looked at Tian Yunxiu with her chin slightly raised.

Tian Yunxiu gritted his teeth, imitated Shang Wen's appearance and movements, and repeated what Shang Wen had done just now.

"You two, remember, you are not welcome in Jixiang Xiaozhu from now on! In addition, there is one more thing you must remember. The incident happened in Jixiang Xiaozhu. I am a businessman who opens the door to do business, so I can calm down the matter easily. , if you were outside and tried to quarrel with me, I would make you regret having such an idea!"

The murderous intent that flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes made Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu's hearts tighten, but fortunately, the murderous intent was only fleeting.

"Really, why are you looking for any unpleasantness in coming to Jixiang Xiaozhu for nothing?"

"There are some people who cannot be offended. Don't think that just because you come from the ancient world, you are safe! Since you all come from the ancient world, I would like to advise you two, it is better to keep your tail between your legs!"

Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou each added insult to injury, making Shang Wen's expression even more ugly.

"Please!"

Gu Zheng reached out to the two of them and sent them away from Wufeng Island.

"Hey, I really didn't expect this to end like this. Our ancestor Xuanming ordered us to fail, and we offended Gu Zheng again." Outside Wufeng Island, Shang Wen said regretfully.

"Yes! No one expected that such a demon cultivator would appear halfway."

Tian Yunxiu sighed, and then asked: "What should we do now? How can we go back and explain to Ancestor Xuanming?"

"How to explain? Tell the truth!" Shang Wen looked helpless.

In the island-protecting immortal formation, after seeing off Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu, Gu Zheng did not return to Wufeng Island immediately. He and his companion Miaomiao were walking on the sea at this time.

"Miaomiao, you can do it! Thanks to you for what happened this time!" Gu Zheng pinched Miaomiao's face.

"hey-hey."

Miao Miao stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"Meow meow, you did a good job, let me reward you this time!"

For the first time, Qi Ling praised Miaomiao in person, and Miaomiao jumped up on the sea with joy.

"Ahem!"

Meow Meow just jumped up and made a coughing sound.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng frowned.

"It's nothing, the backlash left behind by using magical powers."

Miao Miao smiled bitterly, and then told Gu Zheng the details.

Miaomiao's body is a black beast, but her bloodline is not pure, and her innate magical powers have not been awakened for long, and because the opponent's cultivation level is all in the realm of returning to the virtual world, she will inevitably be affected by it after she uses her magical powers. damage.

Miaomiao used his natal magical powers on Jiang Yizhen, Zhang Hualou, Shang Wen and Tian Yunxiu, and used both the magical powers of bewitchment and the exchange of true and false. Therefore, under the influence of Shang Wen's blood, Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou tasted the exclusive Yuan-increasing Food Cultivation, and felt that it could still produce immortal energy. This is the innate magical power of bewitchment and interchange of true and false. Function simultaneously.

In addition, Shang Wen, Tian Yunxiu, and Miao Miao also used these two magical powers on them, but in the end Shang Wen was more rational and did not let Tian Yunxiu try again, otherwise the feeling Tian Yunxiu had would be different from Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou The same.

Moreover, it is not easy for Miaomiao to use her innate magical powers. She was originally quite close to Jixiang Xiaozhu, but the reason why it took her five minutes to enter Jixiang Xiaozhu was because she wanted to attack many cultivators in the realm of returning to the virtual world. It is impossible to use your natal magical power without casting the spell in advance.

As for the backlash Miao Miao suffered, it was actually not serious and would only take a day to heal.

After listening to Miaomiao's story, Gu Zheng asked: "Jiang Yizhen and Zhang Hualou told lies under your magical power. What will happen to their inner demons in the future?"

"They made an answer that was not against their will without knowing whether it was true or false, so in the future they will not be in a state of inner demons like today's incident. After all, they have no regrets!" Meow Meow said.

Gu Zheng touched Miaomiao's hair and smiled, "Tell me, you have made great contributions this time, what reward do you want?"

"Can you give me any reward?"

Miaomiao looked at Gu Zheng, with little stars twinkling in her eyes.

"Sure."

Gu Zheng nodded, he knew that when Miaomiao looked like this, she would most likely want to eat something.

"I want to eat the dragon beard fish we caught last time!" Miaomiao said excitedly.

The dragon beard fish that Miaomiao was talking about was a strange fish that Gu Zheng caught during the "fish tide" when he brought her to Wufeng Island for the first time.

At that time, a total of three dragon beard fish were caught, and this relatively rare fish was specially approved by the spirit of the instrument to be placed in the prehistoric space.

If Miaomiao hadn't mentioned it today, Gu Zheng would have almost forgotten the existence of three dragon beard fish in the pond of the prehistoric space, and he hadn't paid attention to them for a long time.

At the beginning, the spirit of the weapon specially approved the placement of the dragon beard fish in the prehistoric space, saying that this kind of fish, which was originally of medium grade, could grow to excellent grade after growing in the prehistoric space for one year.

Now it has been nearly a year since the first visit to Wufeng Island. Since Miaomiao wanted to eat it, Gu Zheng naturally agreed.

After returning to Jixiang Xiaozhu, Gu Zheng entered the prehistoric space, explored the pond with his mind, and immediately found three dragon beard fish at the bottom of the pond.

In nearly a year, the dragon beard fish grew very fast in the special place of the prehistoric space, and each one weighed about six kilograms.

A fish weighing six kilograms is already very big, and killing one is enough for a meal at night.

Although it has not grown to the time, the dragon beard fish is still of medium grade, but in the prehistoric space with abundant immortal essence, Gu Zheng's water control method is already advanced, and it is not a problem to stimulate it to become an excellent grade food in a short time.

Gu Zheng stood by the pond, and under the activation of the water control method, he first imprisoned a dragon beard fish.

There are three dragon beard fish, one male and two females. The one imprisoned by Gu Zheng is a female fish. The remaining two can stay in the pond to reproduce their offspring.

The water flow is in a vortex shape, wrapping the dragon beard fish in it. The immortal essence in the air also flows into the vortex, controlled by Gu Zheng's water control method, and continuously enters the body of the dragon beard fish to transform its meat.

The dragon beard fish looks somewhat similar to the golden arowana. Under the urging of Gu Zheng's water control method, as time goes by, its scales become more and more golden, and its two whiskers become thicker and longer.

Although Gu Zheng can turn the dragon beard fish that is about to grow old into high-quality ingredients in a short period of time, this process also takes a full hour.

In the evening, Jixiang Xiaozhu had another dinner. Gu Zheng first made three dishes and a soup, and then began to prepare the last dish.

"Meow meow, what flavor of dragon beard fish do you want to eat?"

The dragon beard fish was chosen by Meow meow. Gu Zheng attached great importance to this dish. He wanted to satisfy Meow meow's taste while ensuring the taste.

"When I first met Mr., I ate Mr.'s barbecue. I miss the spicy taste!" Meow meow smiled.

"Okay."

Gu Zheng smiled and pinched Meow meow's nose. How could this stinky girl eat for free at that time? She was simply a bully, and scared Gu Zheng to death.

When Gu Zheng cooked, he highlighted the taste of the ingredients themselves most of the time, and used relatively less spices.

In the past, he used less spices because there were no spices of decent quality. Gradually, he developed a habit, so that later he collected a lot of inferior or ordinary spices. When he cooked for himself, he still used very little.

Now that he has opened a fairy kitchen, he uses more spices to cater to the tastes of the guests. Moreover, during this period of time, the opening of the Xianchu restaurant also improved the quality of Gu Zheng's spices. He found a lot of spices with medium quality from some visitors from the prehistoric world.

"Sir, do you want me to help you deal with this fish?"

After knowing that the quality of the dragon beard fish is excellent, Lian Yuxin felt like drooling even when looking at the living dragon beard fish. She couldn't stop the rich fantasy in her mind. She thought about how delicious this fish could become in Gu Zheng's hands.

"No need." Gu Zheng said.

The dragon beard fish is different from ordinary fish. It is very particular to deal with it. Lian Yuxin can't do this job.

At this time, the dragon beard fish was placed in a water tank. Gu Zheng put some salt in the water tank, and then used the water control method to make the water in the tank rotate. The purpose of doing this was to use salt to clean the small amount of mucus between the dragon beard fish scales.

After a while, the mucus between the dragon beard fish scales had been cleaned up, and Gu Zheng quickly cut open the living dragon beard fish.

Generally, when cooking fish in Jixiang Xiaozhu, the internal organs of the fish are not used. This is not to say that the internal organs of the fish cannot be eaten, but Gu Zheng is too lazy to deal with it, so the fish dishes on the menu are marked without internal organs.

In fact, the internal organs of the fish that can be on the menu of Jixiang Xiaozhu are at least like fish bladder or fish roe, which are not troublesome to deal with and taste very delicious. After all, their food grade is not low, but Gu Zheng is too lazy to deal with it.

The dragon beard fish to be made this time is different. Even if its food grade is only medium, Gu Zheng will spend time to deal with its internal organs. After all, it is a treasure all over the body, and the taste of the internal organs is just as delicious! What's more, the food grade of this dragon beard fish has reached the excellent level.

The plump fish roe and white swim bladder were left behind by Gu Zheng. Even the fish scales and fish intestines were left behind by Gu Zheng.

Clean the fish with its internal organs removed, cut off the 'beards', cut it with a knife, then apply salt and spices to the fish body and marinate it.

While the fish was being marinated, Gu Zheng began to clean the internal organs of the dragon fish.

The fish scales have been washed and do not need to be cleaned again. As for the 'dragon whiskers', they just need to be cut into sections.

The swim bladder was full of air. Gu Zheng cut it open, washed it, and put it aside.

Since it is almost time for the dragon fish to spawn, the roe of a six-pound dragon fish weighs two pounds! Gu Zheng washed the fish roe still wrapped in the film and put it aside temporarily.

Fish intestines are more troublesome to deal with. Although the fish intestines grow in the primitive space and usually eat fairy essence, there is no dirt in the fish intestines. However, Gu Zheng still cut the fish intestines open and I rinsed them carefully.

Put the rinsed fish intestines and washed fish maw into the vinegar together, use the water control tool to control it, and rub and wash it carefully.

There is a deep connection between wine and vinegar. In ancient times, fairy wine was brewed, and fairy vinegar was naturally brewed. Rubbing the fish intestines and swim bladder with fairy vinegar can not only remove the fishy smell, but also enhance the crispy texture of both.

The fish intestines and swim bladders washed with fairy vinegar, one pink and tender, the other white, were put aside first. Gu Zheng added some fairy wine and green onion and ginger to the basin with fish roe, and then steamed them in a cage. got up.

In order to remove the fishy smell from the fish roe and make them more flavorful, the water control operation is naturally indispensable during the steaming process.

"What an attractive wine-flavored fish roe, I really want to eat it!"

Looking at the fish roe that Gu Zheng took out of the steamer, Lian Yuxin swallowed.

"Don't worry, there's enough for you this time!"

Gu Zheng glanced at Lian Yuxin helplessly. He thought that after working in Xianchu shop for a while, her determination would become stronger, but she never thought that she would be worse than before.

As if she knew what Gu Zheng was thinking, Lian Yuxin smiled at Gu Zheng and said, "It's not that I'm getting greedier, it's that the food made by the master is getting more and more delicious!"

Gu Zheng sliced ​​the steamed fish roe, then put a layer of egg liquid and flour on the pan, put it into the oil pan and fried it until golden. Then add water to the clay pot and put several kinds of mushrooms that can be used to make 'fairy mushroom powder' together with the fried fish roe flakes.

Under the stimulation of the Fire Control Technique, the water in the clay pot boiled quickly. Gu Zheng put away the Fire Control Technique and used a small fire to simmer slowly.

Put the fish scales into the onion and ginger water, cook until they are halfway cooked, then take them out and set them aside.

"Okay! It feels like it's been a while since the master handled the ingredients in such a complicated way!"

Gu Zheng has taken a lot of steps, but it still seems that there is still a long way to go before the completion of this dragon-bearded fish, which makes Lian Yuxin sigh.

"What, are you a little impatient to wait?" Gu Zheng asked.

"A bit, I'm already hungry!" Lian Yuxin said with a wry smile.

"Go out!"

Gu Zheng laughed and scolded and started grilling the fish.

The fish has been marinated in advance, which saves Gu Zheng a lot of time when grilling.

In the past, Gu Zheng used firewood or charcoal to grill fish, but now there are conditions. Gu Zheng uses fruit firewood produced on Wufeng Island to grill fish, most of which is Wufeng apricot wood. The meat roasted with this kind of fruit firewood has a special aroma of apricot, which also makes the original barbecue more layered in taste.

The fire control technique was activated, and the grilled fish sizzled on the grill, and the delicious smell of fish began to spread.

Miaomiao missed the spicy taste she had at the beginning, so Gu Zheng specially prepared a little spicy barbecue sauce for her. After brushing it on the asparagus, the slightly sweet and spicy aroma mixed with the aroma of fish aroused appetite.

Originally, Miaomiao wanted to come and help with the cooking, but Gu Zheng refused to let her go. She was a big contributor today, so Gu Zheng just let her rest and just wait to eat.

“Smells so good!”

Meow Meow couldn't help but come over to take a peek, smelling the aroma of Gu Zheng's grilled fish, her eyes filled with intoxication.

"The fish is not yet cooked yet, and all the aroma has not been forced out yet!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Sir, why do I feel that this spicy smell is like the one I first smelled, but it smells better and slightly different than that smell? This is because my husband's cooking skills have improved. Or is it because of the other ingredients?" Miaomiao asked curiously.

"It's because of the improvement of my cooking skills, and also because of some auxiliary ingredients, but the main reason is that the quality of the main ingredients that produce spiciness has improved. When I first met you, I used soft vine peppers picked in the mountains for barbecue. It tastes good, but the quality of the ingredients is only second-rate. Now the soft vine peppers used for grilling fish come from the ancient times, and the quality of the ingredients has reached medium, so the taste is naturally more outstanding and charming." Gu Zhengdao. .

The fish's meat was tender and tender, and with Gu Zheng's perfect control over the heat, it was grilled quickly.

Spread a layer of thin slices of 'Emerald Lotus Root', a specialty of the ancient times, on the plate. Gu Zheng placed the grilled fish on top of the lotus root slices, and then covered the plate with a lid.

Heat the oil in a pot, add the onions and ginger until the aroma is released, then add the cut fish intestines, 'dragon whiskers' and fish maw slices into it and stir-fry.

"It smells so good!"

Lian Yuxin's eyes widened.

"Have you ever eaten fish intestines and swim bladder before?" Gu Zheng asked.

"I ate it when I was a child thousands of years ago. It tasted terrible!" Lian Yu thought to himself.

"The fish intestines and fish maw you will eat today will definitely taste great."

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, poured some fairy wine into the pot, and then stir-fried the fish offal in the pot for a few times, and then added fish scales and stir-fried them over high heat for one minute.

"Gugududu..."

The soup simmering on a low fire in the clay pot was just right, and Gu Zheng took it off the fire, took only the milky white broth and fish roe slices, and poured them into the fragrant fish offal in the pot.

After covering the pot, Gu Zheng activated the fire control technique and the water control technique at the same time. He only heard the sound of "gugududu" in the pot. While the fragrance was spreading, the white mist had gathered more and more densely on the pot.

"Wow, when sir grilled fish, there was not so much mist that could be transformed into a very fragrant shape!" Meow Meow exclaimed.

"First of all, the offal of dragon beard fish tastes no worse than the fish meat. Secondly, roasting the fish is not the final step, so I didn't force out the aroma completely while roasting it!" Gu Zheng said.
