Chapter 718

"Master, this Master Wu Nian is so stingy! There are twelve people attending the banquet today, but he only ordered four dishes and one soup. Although four dishes and one soup are double portions, this is not enough!"

On the way back to the cave, Die Ling sent a message to Gu Zheng.

Die Ling's message made Gu Zheng smile: "In fact, the four dishes and one soup ordered by Master Wu Nian are enough to eat, after all, one of the four dishes and one soup is a big dish."

"Big dish?" Die Ling was full of curiosity.

"Yes, the big dish ordered by Master Wu Nian is called 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Fillet'. In this dish, the main ingredient 'Snow Tai Sui' is a high-quality ingredient, but in order for 'Snow Tai Sui' to reach the standard of high-quality, the weight must be more than 50 kilograms. This 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Fillet' is double, which means that the weight of the Snow Tai Sui in this dish alone is over 100 kilograms!" Gu Zheng said.

"Well, this is not not enough to eat, this is probably not enough to eat!" Die Ling stuck out her tongue and said.

"It's impossible that they can't finish the food. Even if they eat too much, I guarantee that there will be no soup left!" Gu Zheng said confidently.

Although the four dishes and one soup ordered by Master Wu Nian are all double portions, except for the 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Fillet' which is more time-consuming to make, the other three dishes are not difficult to make. Gu Zheng plans to make this dish first.

Tai Sui ingredients are not uncommon in the prehistoric world. Gu Zheng has collected quite a few. Among the Tai Sui ingredients he has collected, Snow Tai Sui is one of the few with a relatively good taste.

Generally speaking, even if the grade of the ingredients has reached the excellent level, Tai Sui ingredients still have a faint bitter taste, which is its nature. However, the taste of Snow Tai Sui is not bitter, but on the contrary, it has a sweet taste! However, there is another difference between Snow Tai Sui and other Tai Sui, that is, it is naturally toxic!

The toxicity of Snow Tai Sui has no effect on the cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm, but if it is not handled well, the final taste will be discounted. Moreover, the toxicity in Snow Tai Sui is not easy to remove, and usually only the first-grade immortal chef can cook Snow Tai Sui perfectly.

In Gu Zheng's opinion, Master Wu Nian ordered this "Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Fillet" with the intention of considering his cooking skills.

Under normal circumstances, immortal chefs will use "Baijingcao" to stew Snow Tai Sui together to remove the toxicity in Snow Tai Sui. This method is very effective, but how much the toxicity can be removed depends on the cooking skills of the immortal chef. However, this method is not the best, after all, cooking Tai Sui with "Baijingcao" will also have some bad effects on the meat quality of Tai Sui.

Gu Zheng has the Eye of Tao, which is a Taoism that most first-grade immortal chefs do not have. Otherwise, Lu Piaoxiang, who was also an immortal chef, would not have been so shocked when he knew that he had the Eye of Tao. The starting point of immortal chefs with the Eye of Tao is different from that of ordinary immortal chefs.

The snow tai sui that Gu Zheng was going to make today was roughly like a dunghill. Gu Zheng first cleaned the snow tai sui, and then danced with a kitchen knife. The dunghill-like snow tai sui turned into a pot shape, and the scene of the hanging mountain was carved on it.

Put water in the pot, add the spices and salt prepared before, and Gu Zheng directly put the carved snow tai sui into the pot to stew.

As the water temperature rises, under the effect of the water control formula, the spices and salt enter the snow tai sui to make it taste good. At the same time, under the effect of Gu Zheng's water control formula, the toxins that ordinary people cannot see are condensed together by him and flow out of the snow tai sui, and finally he scooped it out of the pot with a soup spoon.

Without the existence of toxins, the snow tai sui in the pot exudes a fragrance like mushrooms. Gu Zheng collected the water control formula and the fire control formula, let the snow tai sui slowly stew in the pot, and he began to deal with the beef fillet.

The beef fillet is the tenderloin of the fairy cow. The meat is very beautiful. It was cut into strips by Gu Zheng and coated with egg liquid and fairy noodles.

Put oil in the pot, and when the oil temperature is right, Gu Zheng fried the beef fillet and then took it out.

Mash the sea pepper into a paste, put a small amount of oil in the pot and heat it, then pour the paste into the sea pepper.

Accompanied by the "sizzling" sound from the pot, a spicy aroma suddenly spread.

"Hoohoo!"

Die Ling on the side couldn't help but sniff.

"Do you feel that this smell is very fresh?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Yes, I have never smelled such a smell before. It feels very special and makes people want to swallow their saliva!" Die Ling greedily breathed in the smell in the air.

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and without saying anything else, he took out a "flavor fruit".

The golden color of the flavor fruit is a high-quality ingredient. This kind of berry is very strange. Its taste is not sweet, but a slightly salty with a wonderful fragrance.

Just like beating eggs, Gu Zheng squeezed all the juice of the Weixiang fruit into the stir-fried sea pepper, and suddenly a wonderful fresh fragrance mixed with spicy aroma rose up, which was so good that Gu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The juice of the Weixiang fruit went into the pot, just like thickening the sea pepper, making the soup thick.

Gu Zheng put the fried beef fillet into the pot and stewed it. The aroma of beef mixed with spicy and fresh aroma made the butterfly spirit beside him swallow saliva wildly.

The time was calculated very well. When the beef fillet was stewed to the right degree, the snow Tai Sui that was cooking on the side was also ready to be taken out of the pot.

Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and waved, and the snow Tai Sui flew into the steamer beside him.

Fortunately, the fairy kitchen utensils can change size, otherwise it would be difficult to put the hundred-jin snow Tai Sui in.

The snow Tai Sui was carved by Gu Zheng like a pot, which is not just for show, but there is really space inside it.

The 'lid' of the 'Xue Tai Sui Pot' flew up. Gu Zheng poured the stewed beef tenderloin into it, then covered the 'lid' and the cage lid. Using the fire control technique, he steamed the Xue Tai Sui in the cage. stand up.

The steaming process did not require too much control from Gu Zheng's Five Elements Immortal Jue. After a while, Gu Zheng, who had his hands free, began to make the soup again. And this soup is poured on the 'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' before it is served. It is also the last step of this big dish.

"Master, I'm hungry!"

Die Ling couldn't bear it anymore, she looked at Gu Zheng pitifully.

Gu Zheng understood that Die Ling's hunger at this time was not the hunger she had when she was growing up, but just the greed stimulated by the smell of food.

"Well, let me satisfy your craving for the next dish first!"

Gu Zheng let the soup of 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' slowly simmer on the fire, and then he started to prepare the second dish.

The name of the second dish is ‘Sauteed Crispy Bones’. This dish is relatively simple to make.

The crispy bones used in 'Sauteed Crispy Bones' are the crispy bones of fairy beef. This ancient man had already put some fairy beef, fairy beef bones and other things aside to stew before preparing to make 'Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Fillet'. .

The Fire Control Technique and Water Control Technique worked at the same time, and the beef and beef bones simmering in the pot immediately emitted a richer aroma than before.

In less than a minute, Gu Zheng stopped controlling the Five Elements Immortal Technique, took out the crispy bones of the immortal cow that were as white as jade from the pot, and cut them into long strips of the same length.

The steps of the 'Crackling Crispy Bones' dish are not complicated. The key is to make the crispy bones with a tight texture and flavor during the cooking process, which tests your cooking skills.

The second thing is that the oil used in the 'Sauteed Crispy Bones' dish is not ordinary sesame oil, but a special kind of rapeseed oil. This kind of rapeseed oil has a cumin-like aroma, and it needs to be simmered before frying the crispy bones! If it is cooked well, this dish will be a lot more outstanding. If it is not cooked well and the cumin-like aroma cannot be fully forced out, then it will naturally fall behind.

Gu Zheng begins to boil the oil. For ordinary chefs, it is necessary to adjust the heat through smell so that the crispy bones can be put in at the most appropriate time! The steps of boiling the oil can be said to be done carefully by fairy chefs. After all, the temperature of the oil affects the aroma of cumin in the oil. The moment when this aroma reaches its peak is fleeting.

For Gu Zheng, everything is so simple. The Eye of Tao allows the oil to be displayed 'digitally' in his eyes. He does not need to smell the smell, but only uses his naked eyes to know what kind of heat will make it appear just right.

The subtle changes in the oil let Gu Zheng know that the best time had arrived. He put the cut crispy bones into the oil and stir-fried until the white crispy bones turned slightly yellow before taking them out of the pan.

After serving a small portion to Die Ling, Gu Zheng immediately started preparing the next dish.

"Hey, it's time to eat!"

Die Ling smiled at Gu Zheng, picked up a piece of brittle bone and put it into his mouth eagerly.

"Crunch!"

A crisp sound came out of Butterfly Spirit's mouth, and a scent like cumin mixed with a special bone fragrance filled the air from her mouth.

"It's delicious! Crispy and fragrant, it's so delicious!"

Die Ling ate happily, her eyes narrowed into crescents when she smiled.

In the square in front of Master Wu Nian's door, the table has been set, the fairy wine has also been placed, and except for Gu Zheng, the other nine people have already taken their seats.

The rest of the people were not left waiting for too long. With the arrival of Gu Zheng, the four dishes and one soup flying in the air landed smoothly on the table.

"Smells, it smells so good!"

"How long has it been since you tasted the delicious food made by Xianchu?"

"I don't know how long it's been since you've eaten. Anyway, I haven't eaten for three hundred years."

"The carvings on the snow Tai Sui are actually the scenery on our Xuankong Mountain. Fellow Taoist Bai is really thoughtful!"

As soon as the dishes were served, everyone sighed with emotion and smelled the tempting aroma with intoxicated faces.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Bai. Please sit down quickly!" Master Wu Nian said.

After Gu Zheng took his seat, Master Wu Nian first introduced Gu Zheng.

Except for Master Wu Nian, Master Duan, Gan Long and Ye Hongjiang, the other five people are all monks. However, these monks are not all from the same temple. After all, Hanging Mountain belongs to Buddhism, not to which temple it belongs to.

They already knew each other, and Master Wu Nian spoke again: "The main purpose of holding a banquet today is to entertain Master Duan and thank Master Duan for the immortal weapon he refined for my senior brother!"

Master Wu Nian raised his glass to Master Duan, the two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Although Master Wu Nian is a member of the Buddhist sect, in the prehistoric times, Buddhists did not have any explicit prohibitions on immortal wine or even the food cooked by the immortal kitchen. Except for the ascetic monks, other people did not care about these things. taboo. After all, these things also contain good immortal essence.

"For the second glass of wine, I want to thank Fellow Daoist Bai! Because of this Immortal Kitchen Feast, Fellow Daoist, out of consideration for being a resident of Xuankong Mountain, waived all expenses other than the cost."

After Master Wu Nian and Gu Zheng clinked their glasses, they also drank it all in one gulp.

"Come, let's raise a toast together and wish us harmony and happiness!"

After everyone drank and clinked glasses of wine, Master Wu Nian spoke again: "Fellow Taoists, let's try Taoist Bai's cooking skills!"

Except for Gu Zheng, everyone was waiting for Master Wu Nian's words. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of chopsticks reached for the big dish 'Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin'.

Gu Zheng understood that simply making the 'Snow Taisui Stewed Beef Tenderloin' take the extremely fragrant form was not enough for these people to recognize him as a first-class immortal chef. At this time, everyone stretched out their chopsticks first to the "Snow Taisui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin", which meant that they wanted to see from this dish whether he was a top-notch chef.

'Snow Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' looks like a clay pot on the surface. In fact, this 'clay pot' is full of 'cracks'. These cracks are almost invisible from the surface, but in fact they divide the whole 'clay pot' into pieces. This is The effect was already achieved when Gu Zheng first waved the kitchen knife! Therefore, at this moment, everyone could easily pick off a piece of Xuetai Sui's meat by inserting their chopsticks into the crack.

The meat of Xuetai Sui resembles that of shiitake mushrooms, but is crisper than shiitake mushrooms. It is even slightly elastic. When everyone puts Xuetai Sui meat into their mouths and chews it, in addition to the fragrant aroma, there are endless sounds of satisfaction. .

"It's delicious! It's smooth and refreshing, with no bitter taste at all, just a spicy kick, and the most delicious taste that permeates your lips and teeth!"

Master Duan was the first to start shaking his head after eating a piece of Xuetai Sui meat. Since the entire Xuetai Sui is covered with indiscernible cracks, the beef tenderloin soup brewed in the Xuetai Sui has also soaked into the Tai Sui meat, so when Master Duan tasted it, he also experienced the spicy excitement.

"As expected of a first-class chef, I once tasted 'Xue Tai Sui Stuffed Beef Tenderloin' a hundred years ago. The taste of Xue Tai Sui at that time was simply incomparable to what it is now, in terms of texture and delicious taste."

Master Wu Nian took a sip of snow and hurriedly extended his thumb to Guzheng, with a hint of reverence in his eyes that he had not seen before.

"Everyone, try it. How does the beef tenderloin taste?"

Gu Zheng smiled and moved his chopsticks. When his chopsticks touched the part of Xuetai Sui that was originally used as a 'clay pot', pieces flew up and were neatly placed on the plate.

Gu Zheng did not taste the beef tenderloin first. What he tasted first was the "boiled" part of the Xuetai Sui. This part was not soaked by the beef tenderloin soup and was relatively more original.

Like shiitake mushrooms, but with a bit of crunchiness, the Xuetai Sui meat slices release a different flavor after chewing in your mouth. The essential deliciousness of the ingredients also permeates Gu Zheng's mouth.

However, for someone like Gu Zheng who often tastes delicious food, although the taste of Xuetai Sui is delicious, it is not enough for him to have a high evaluation. After all, the quality of Xuetai Sui's own ingredients can only be excellent.

The high-quality ingredients can no longer make Gu Zheng feel amazing, but it is different for Master Wu Nian and others! For them, let alone high-quality ingredients, even mid-level ingredients are supremely delicious.

Satisfied hums continued to sound, and everyone had already tasted the beef tenderloin with full soup. The tender and spicy beef tenderloin, even though it is only a medium-grade ingredient, makes them feel like they can't stop eating! No one commented immediately. They only stretched out their chopsticks and picked up the beef tenderloin one after another, greedily experiencing the refreshing feeling between their lips and teeth.

"Cool!"

Master Duan was the first to speak out. He finally put down his chopsticks and picked up the wine glass and raised it towards Gu Zheng.

"Master Bai, this glass of wine is for you, Duan!"

Saying "Master Bai" is the highest praise and respect that Master Duan, a master of weapon refinement, can give to Gu Zheng.

"Wait!"

Master Wu Nian also spoke, and everyone followed him and picked up the wine glasses.

"Let's toast Master Bai with this glass of wine! The poor monk no longer knows how to evaluate the taste of beef tenderloin, but it has undoubtedly conquered the poor monk's taste!"

"Yes, it's so delicious!"

“I’ve never had beef tenderloin that tasted so good!”

“The spicy flavor has the unique fragrance of Xuetai Sui, and the texture is very tender but still chewy. It’s delicious!”

"Master Bai, you let me know the difference between a second-grade immortal chef and a first-grade immortal chef!"

"Come on, come on, cheers!"

Everyone was laughing and laughing, and after drinking a glass of wine, they all picked up their chopsticks.

What Gu Zheng told Die Ling before was right. There really was no leftover food, including the soup. Although the diners' lowest level of cultivation was already in the Golden Fairyland, they still looked unsatisfied after eating more than a hundred kilograms of food in one meal.

After the meal, everyone chatted for a while, and Gu argued for a time to take food and repair, and finally decided on the evening.

When saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Zheng took a total of four orders. These four orders came from Master Wu Nian, Gan Long, Ye Hongjiang and Master Duan respectively.

Except for Master Duan, the food repairs customized by the other three people are relatively cheap. What they want is only the top-grade Yuan-increasing food repairs. But the food that Master Duan wanted was more expensive, so he ordered a Yasin food!

Although Gu Zheng said before that when doing business, you should charge whatever you want, but he still made some discounts for these four orders. He did not follow the standards of first-class immortal chefs outside, but only the standards of ordinary immortal chefs. Charges are based on the store's standards. And he was able to make such a discount, which naturally made Master Duan and others very grateful.

Gu Zheng does not need to worry about when the owner of the four business orders will take the food repairs, so he only needs to make the four orders in the afternoon and hand them over to the person who customized them.

After returning to the cave, Gu Zheng first made four portions of food and gave them to Master Duan and the others.

Seeing Gu Zheng preparing to cook again, Die Ling said: "Master, what kind of food are you going to make for yourself?"

Gu Zheng now has natural treasures and immortal food ingredients. He can use natural treasures to make holy fruit food, or use immortal resources to make Dan Yuan food.

"Let's make Dan Yuan food!"

Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. The effect of Dan Yuan food is definitely not as good as that of holy fruit food, but the effect of holy fruit food is too shocking. He has just arrived at Xuankong Mountain for a few days, so he really doesn't want to make too much of a sensation.
