Chapter 581

Gu Zheng looked at Jia Si: "Let me handle the ingredients!"

Gu Zheng also attaches great importance to this finale dish. Although handling the Kunlun snow bear is a dirty job, it is also because of this that if it is not handled carefully, it is likely to affect the overall ingredients. After all, this is not a fresh ingredient. The Kunlun snow bear, which has been frozen for thousands of years, needs more professional methods to handle.

After answering Jia Si's question, Gu Zheng looked at Du Wei and said: "As for your question about how to make this finale dish, I think a roasted whole bear is the most suitable!"

"Ah? Roasted whole bear?"

After hearing what Gu Zheng said, Jia Si and others all widened their eyes.

For cultivators, many things are easy to do, but this is roasting a whole bear, not a whole pig. This is to roast a big guy weighing one ton!

"Yes, roasted whole bear!"

Gu Zheng's affirmation made Jia Si and others believe that he was really not joking.

Ignoring the surprise of Jia Si and others, Gu Zheng began to pack up the Kunlun snow bear.

After the Kunlun Snow Bear was killed by the Kunlun Sect, it was immediately frozen and sealed with magic. Now the Kunlun Snow Bear is still in a huge ice block.

The Kunlun Snow Bear is not just a poem. Its meat can be used to make elixirs and its bones can be used to make tools. Otherwise, Kunlun would not have sealed it for a thousand years just for a little food.

For Gu Zheng, the Kunlun Snow Bear is a medium-sized ingredient weighing thousands of pounds. The Kunlun Sect can contribute a whole Kunlun Snow Bear as the finale of the dinner, which can be said to be a big deal.

This time, when Gu Zheng cooked the finale, there were not many people watching. The Righteous Alliance specially prepared a temporary kitchen for him.

Gu Zheng first took out the immortal kitchen utensils, and then enlarged the pot until it was big enough to easily fit the Kunlun Snow Bear.

The enlarged pot was placed on the specially built stove. After Gu Zheng put water in the pot, he started to light the fire and boil the water.

The 'life water' in his body vibrated, and Gu Zheng's finger touched the ice that wrapped the Kunlun snow bear.

"Crack..."

The use of the water control technique caused the ice that wrapped the Kunlun snow bear to crack, and instantly turned into broken ice on the ground.

Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the Kunlun snow bear, no longer wrapped in ice, flew into the pot.

The fire control technique was activated, and the water temperature in the pot became higher and higher, and the Kunlun snow bear began to steam. Gu Zheng did this not to cook the Kunlun snow bear, he just wanted to warm up the Kunlun snow bear first, and remove its hair when the water temperature was right.

Under the urging of the fairy technique, the stiff body of the Kunlun snow bear quickly softened, and the water temperature reached the right level.

Gu Zheng performed the water control technique, and the water in the pot immediately spun. The Kunlun snow bear, which originally had a thick white hair, immediately spun with the water flow, and the white hair on its body kept falling off as it turned.

After a while, there was no more hair on the Kunlun snow bear.

Take the Kunlun snow bear out of the pot and wash and peel it.

After washing and peeling, the Kunlun snow bear looks very clean. After a flash of knife light in Gu Zheng's hand, all the bones in its body were removed.

Sprinkle the prepared seasoning on the meat of the Kunlun snow bear and rub the meat in all directions. In addition to making the meat more flavorful during the rubbing process, Gu Zheng also used his immortal power to shake the tendons in the meat to make the taste better after cooking.

Put the cleaned pot back on the fire, and Gu Zheng placed a special steamer on it.

Although this finale dish is roasted at the end, the Kunlun snow bear must be steamed before roasting.

Put the Kunlun snow bear in the steamer, Gu Zheng did not deliberately stimulate the fire, but just steamed it slowly with charcoal fire. It was still evening, and there was still some time before the lunch party tomorrow, so it would not be good to take it out too early.

Let Kunlun Snow Bear steam first, Gu Zheng went to the next room, where the chefs were almost all busy with the ingredients. Gu Zheng explained to them some of the things they didn't understand.

That night, Gu Zheng didn't return to the residence of Hongtianluo Sect. He stayed in the temporary kitchen to practice, and occasionally looked after the fire.

The next morning.

Xiahou Shan, who had been away from Xuechao Island for a while, came back. When he learned from Lin Yucheng and others what had happened in the past two days, he was silent for a long time.

In the end, Xiahou Shan decided to let this matter go for the time being, and everything would be discussed after the Zhongyuan Festival.

There were still two hours before the lunch at noon, and the kitchen where the chefs were was already busy. Some dishes that took a long time were already in the process of cooking.

"What a good smell!"

Ouyang Hai pushed the door and entered the kitchen where Gu Zheng was, and his eyes immediately lit up.

The whole kitchen was filled with aroma, an appetizing meaty aroma, plus an elegant floral scent, and the two aromas blended together without any conflict.

"What's wrong, Master?" Ouyang Hai asked, looking at the huge steamer.

"The Kunlun snow bear is now half done, and it will meet the standard of roasting after steaming for a while."

Although it was steamed overnight, the Kunlun snow bear is a spiritual beast after all, and it is so big. Its meat is delicious, but it is not so easy to cook.

"It can have such a fragrance when it is only half done. What will it be like after it is made? It really makes people look forward to it!" Ouyang Hai said.

"Don't worry, you will definitely want to eat it again!"

Gu Zheng smiled and started to stir up the fire. The baking process is still time-consuming, so it’s time to speed up the process.

The intensity of the fire increased, and the Kunlun Snow Bear quickly reached the 60%-50% cooked level that Gu Zheng wanted.

Although the Kunlun Snow Bear is already 60% cooked, this is only for its meat. The skin and tendons, which are relatively difficult to cook, are less than 50% cooked.

Gu Zheng raised his hand, and when he lowered it again, the 'nail board' transformed from the immortal power pierced many fine holes on the Kunlun Snow Bear's skin, and then he passed the Kunlun Snow Bear through the ice. water.

The alternating hot and cold conditions shrink the Kunlun Snow Bear's steamed skin and meat, allowing excess oil to initially seep out, making it easier to bake later.

After taking the Kunlun Snow Bear out of the ice water, Gu Zheng used his magical power to evaporate the excess water on it, and then fixed it on a special grill.

After brushing the prepared barbecue sauce on the Kunlun Snow Bear, Gu Zheng began to prepare for grilling.

Gu Zheng's set of immortal tools includes an oven, but this oven has never roasted something as big as the Kunlun Snow Bear since Gu Zheng took over.

With a thought, the originally small oven turned into a giant. Gu Zheng put a lot of charcoal in the stove, and then used the fire control technique to activate it. The charcoal quickly turned red and reached the burning level he wanted. .

The charcoal fire was ready, Gu Zheng waved his hand, and Kunlun Snow Bear flew into the oven. With a thought, it moved again, and the place on the oven that should be closed was sealed. The Kunlun Snow Bear was now in a sealed barbecue space.

Nothing could be seen outside, but Gu Zheng, the owner of this fairy weapon, still knew what was going on inside the oven at a glance.

Under the high temperature, the Kunlun Snow Bear was sizzling and oily, and the control of the Fire Control Technique also allowed the Kunlun Snow Bear to be roasted with moderate heat.

The barbecue sauce has entered the Kunlun Snow Bear's meat, and has a wonderful blend with the bear meat, constantly enhancing its delicious flavor. During the baking process, Gu Zheng can also control and repair some imperfections through the Fire Control Technique and Water Control Technique.

As time passed, it was noon before we knew it, and the dishes prepared by the chefs were brought out one after another.

Today is a dinner party. It is impossible to serve the dishes first for the guests to eat, and then serve the final dish when they are almost finished, like cooking in Jixiang Xiaozhu.

The finale will be the last dish, but it cannot be too late than the last dish of the chefs. After all, Gu Zheng is also a very important person in the Righteous Alliance. The dinner party will not really begin until he arrives! So, it’s not good to make other people wait too long.

The Kunlun Snow Bear has been roasted to a certain extent. At this time, it no longer needs Gu Zheng's constant care, and Gu Zheng can free up his hands to prepare a soup.

Although the final dish is only roasted whole bear, the Buddhists led by Master Xinjing do not like meat, so Gu Zheng planned to make a separate soup for them.

Gu Zheng was already making this soup for everyone in the Buddhist sect last night.

After taking out the tofu that had been soaked in the water overnight, Gu Zheng quickly lifted the kitchen knife in his hand, and the sound of a series of fine and even knives suddenly sounded.

The tofu is made from fairy soybeans produced in Kirifeng Island. After Gu Zheng used the Wood Control Technique to greatly improve the taste, it was soaked in prepared water overnight. It can be said that the tofu at this time tastes extremely delicious even if it is eaten raw!

After cutting the tofu, Gu Zheng cut the cooked purple bujiantian into thin strips, and cut the blanched green jade fairy radish and red jade fairy radish into thin strips.

"Here, bring the soup!"

Gu Zheng shouted outside, and the person responsible for passing the dishes immediately entered the kitchen.

After putting some purple invisible tencel, sapphire fairy rose and red jade fairy rose into the soup basin, Gu Zheng put a few pieces of tofu with almost no cut marks on the outside into the soup basin.

On the fire beside was a pot of mountain delicacies soup that had been simmered all night. When Gu Zheng opened the lid of the pot, the fragrance of mountain delicacies hit his face.

Gu Zheng scooped up a spoonful of clear soup and poured it into the soup basin with the ingredients, and a bright scene suddenly appeared.

With the impact of the soup, the originally invisible tofu turned into shredded tofu, mixed with purple invisible tencel, sapphire fairy rose and red jade fairy rose, like a flower with orderly intervals of colors. Generally, the delicate blooms bloom in the soup basin.

After closing the lid of the soup basin, Gu Zheng handed the soup basin to the first person to pass the dishes, and then prepared the second basin of soup.

The Buddhists sat at four tables in total. After sending all four pots of soup out of the kitchen, Gu Zheng made three bowls of soup with the remaining ingredients and distributed them to Ouyang Hai, Jia Si and Du Weisan in the kitchen. people.

"Master, don't you want to drink?" Ouyang Hai asked, holding the soup.

"No, you have never tasted this soup. When I was at Jixiang Xiaozhu, I often made it and drank it."

While talking, Gu Zheng came to the oven again and used his magic to take care of the Kunlun Snow Bear which was still being roasted.

"Master, what's the name of this soup?"

Looking at the bowl of soup blooming like flowers in his hand, Du Wei couldn't bear to take a bite.

"It's called 'Four Colored Tofu Soup'." Gu Zheng said.

"What a name!"

Du Wei sighed in admiration, then picked up the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup' and took a sip.

"Um……"

After taking a sip of soup, Du Wei opened his eyes wide and made a rather unexpected sound.

"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng asked.

"I thought the tofu in this soup would be slippery, but I didn't expect it to be so slippery. As soon as I drank it, it slipped into my stomach!" Du Wei said.

"How does it taste?" Gu Zheng asked.

"The taste is very good! Although the tofu has not been chewed, the flavor of the tofu is released as soon as it is eaten. It is very delicious!"

After Du Wei finished speaking, he was careful when he drank the soup for the second time, for fear that the tofu shreds in it would accidentally get into his stomach.

This time Du Wei drank slowly, and the soup in his mouth was no longer just shredded tofu.

“It tastes great and delicious!”

When the second mouthful of soup entered his stomach, Du Wei said with emotion. When the shredded tofu, purple tencel, sapphire fairy rose and red jade fairy rose are chewed together in the mouth, the smooth, crisp and fragrant texture is unforgettable.

After Du Wei and others finished drinking the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup', the Kunlun Snow Bear meat in the oven was already cooked to the point of being cooked.

With a thought in Gu Zheng's mind, the lid of the oven opened automatically.

In an instant, the aroma of 'Four Colors Tofu Soup' that was still filling the air was immediately diluted! The four of them, Du Wei and others, made deep sniffing sounds at the same time.

"Gudong!"

Jia Si, who had just drank the 'Four Colors Tofu Soup', swallowed hard.

"Master, is the roasted whole bear ready?" Jia Si asked impatiently.

"Not yet, there is one last step!"

The Kunlun Snow Bear had flown out of the oven and settled in mid-air. Gu Zheng flew up and dipped the queen bee nectar in the bowl into his brush, smearing it on its surface.

"The color is golden, looks appetizing, and smells so delicious, it makes people drool!"

It was much harder to make Ouyang Hai say words that made him drool than to actually drool.

Gu Zheng didn't say anything, but with a slight smile, he let the Kunlun Snow Bear fly into the oven, then closed the lid and continued baking.

The honey brushed on the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear makes the skin of the Kunlun Snow Bear change from golden yellow to a more appetizing maroon during the baking process.

Shen Nian was always paying attention to the kitchen next door. Seeing that the last dish of the chefs there had been cooked, Gu Zheng stepped up and started the charcoal fire.

A minute later, Gu Zheng opened the lid of the oven.

"Um……"

As soon as the lid was opened, Jia Si and Ouyang Hai took a deep sniff at the same time and made amazing sounds at the same time.

If the Kunlun Snow Bear's meat aroma was only '8' last time it was cooked, then when it comes out of the oven now, its aroma has reached '10', reaching its peak! The fragrance in the air has reached the point where even Gu Zheng will feel hungry after smelling it.

"This layer of honey not only makes the color more beautiful, but also makes the fragrance more charming! This sweet smell blends with the aroma of barbecue, which not only makes people not feel disgusted at all, but makes them want to Going to taste it!”

Ouyang Hai sighed while placing plates on the chopping board. Although the bear Gu Zheng roasts is a whole bear, it still needs to be cut into pieces when serving it. Because everyone is sitting at several tables, naturally there must be a portion on each table.

"Kacha..."

When Gu Zheng dropped the knife, the Kunlun Snow Bear's skin made a strange sound, as if it was extremely crispy.

The whole Kunlun Snow Bear was quickly cut into pieces and plated under Gu Zheng's knife, and plate after plate was served to the dinner table.

When Gu Zheng walked towards the dinner place, he could hear the sound of swallowing saliva in the distance.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Gu!"

Seeing Gu Zheng coming, almost everyone stood up. If they can't fight in ancient times, everyone can't eat, which is really a torture for them.

"Master Gu, the finale this time is awesome!"

"Just smelling it makes people salivate!"

"The color looks really beautiful! The crystal-clear maroon skin and the white and tender roasted meat are so delicious that people can’t wait to eat them!"

Facing the praise from everyone, Gu Zheng smiled and clasped his fists, and finally sat down with Master Yufeng and the others.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Master Yufeng stood up, and everyone's discussion also stopped.

"According to convention, since this meal is a gathering for the battle between good and evil during the Ghost Festival, something must be said before using chopsticks."

Master Yufeng paused, then smiled and said: "Actually, everyone knows that the words you have to say before using the chopsticks are nothing more than some words to inspire everyone! Today we are not going to take the usual path, so I won't say any more unnecessary words. , the only thing I want to tell you is..."

Master Yufeng's long voice stopped, and after his majestic eyes swept around, he spoke very seriously: "In order to still be able to enjoy the delicious food made by the ancient master, in order to be able to protect myself, I want to protect myself." I’d like to see everyone here for the dinner after the Ghost Festival!”

"good!"

Everyone responded in unison, and their blood was aroused by Master Yufeng's simple words.

However, as Master Yufeng said "Let's eat", the previous feeling of blood boiling seemed to dissipate instantly. Everyone moved their chopsticks in unison and went straight to the roasted bear meat placed in the center of the dining table.

"Why!"

Seeing everyone devouring their food, Master Yufeng shook his head and sighed.

However, when Master Yufeng looked down and saw the delicious food on the plate, because his emotion had disappeared a little, he immediately became like a different person, quickly picked up a piece of roasted bear meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it beautifully! It seemed that the emotion of the previous moment was all gone under the impact of the delicious food.

"It's delicious, the taste is amazing!"

"Master Gu, it's great!"

"I have eaten Kunlun snow bear many years ago, and it was also roasted bear meat! But the taste is completely different from what Master Gu made!"

After tasting the roasted bear meat, the people at the same table gave feedback to Gu Zheng about their feelings.

In fact, Master Yufeng was not the last person to pick up his chopsticks at the table. Gu Zheng, the cook, had just finished a cup of fairy wine at this time, and finally picked up his chopsticks and reached for the roasted bear meat.

The crystal-clear red skin of the roasted bear meat looked very beautiful, as if it was covered with a layer of cooled syrup. This layer of syrup-like substance is actually the essence forced out from the skin of the Kunlun snow bear through the nectar of the queen flower, and it tastes very delicious.
