Chapter 932
The cardamom that Gu Zheng is using now is still extracted from the original cardamom in the kitchen. However, the substance in this part of the cardamom that can be seen by the Eye of Tao is slightly different from the part that Gu Zheng used on the fish eye before, and the effect it can produce is naturally different.
The meat of the blue and white fairy fish is tender as a whole. There are two most delicious places on it. One is the eyes that will not condense into beads no matter how it is cooked, and the other part is the fish meat that is as big as a longan under the seventh scale in the second row of the back. The biggest reason why these two parts are delicious is that they contain wonderful substances that can only be sensed by the Heart of Tao.
Gu Zheng used the first piece of extracted cardamom to stimulate the substances that were originally in the fish eye that could only be sensed by the Heart of Tao, thereby improving the overall taste and aroma of the fish. The second time he used the extracted cardamom, he placed it under the fish spine, and the purpose he wanted to achieve was to sublimate the taste of the whole dish!
"This..."
"Could this change be?"
"'Moment of Beauty', yes, this is really 'Moment of Beauty'!"
As super immortal chefs who have opened the eyes of Tao, the chefs behind Gu Zheng have also heard of or seen the mysterious 'Moment of Beauty' in the way of diet. However, they did not expect that an ordinary 'Fried Fish with Cardamom' could actually make the mysterious 'Moment of Beauty', and the secret was hidden in the cardamom they made!
In addition to shock, there was also regret in the hearts of the immortal chefs and Xuan Yue. Although they were super immortal chefs, they did not open the heart of Tao. They could not see the whole process of the touching and fission of the wonderful substances before the birth of 'Moment of Beauty'. They could only see Gu Zheng's quick technique and witness the overall transformation of the dishes after 'Moment of Beauty'.
"After the second piece of cardamom was used, I used some fire control and water control techniques. Sister, have you felt it?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I feel it!"
Xuan Yue nodded and gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up. She had not thought that an ordinary 'Fragrant Cardamom Fried Fish' would actually contain 'Momentary Beauty'. Now that Gu Zheng had personally demonstrated how to make this dish, she had seen everything she should have seen. In the future, she would be able to make the same dish with the effect of 'Momentary Beauty'. However, copying is copying after all, and under the wonderful variables of 'Momentary Beauty', copying may not be 100% successful, but the more valuable thing is that she has another way to contact 'Momentary Beauty', and the possibility of opening the heart of Tao has increased a little bit.
The 'Fragrant Cardamom Fried Fish' has been served on a plate, and the extremely fragrant shape has transformed into a few cardamom fruits, dancing around the two golden fried fish. The wonderful fragrance in the air stimulates everyone's sense of smell and tempts their appetite.
"Gudong!"
"Gudong!"
The sound of swallowing saliva kept coming out. Facing a dish of 'Fried Fish with Cardamom' that showed a high level of cooking skills, even Xuan Yue, who was in the middle stage of Quasi-Saint, could not help swallowing saliva.
"Junior brother, I regret it a little." Fairy Xuan Yue murmured.
"What do you regret?" Gu Zheng asked knowingly with a smile.
"Don't you know what you regret?"
Fairy Xuan Yue raised her fist with a fierce face, as if to ask Gu Zheng to be sensible.
"Haha!"
Gu Zheng laughed. Before making 'Fried Fish with Cardamom', he asked Fairy Xuan Yue if he wanted to make one more for her to taste. Fairy Xuan Yue did not expect that the 'Fried Fish with Cardamom' made by Gu Zheng could actually trigger 'Momentary Beauty'. She did not want Gu Zheng to work too hard, so she naturally did not accept the proposal.
Gu Zheng was naturally very happy that his senior sister wanted to eat. He was just joking when he asked even though he knew the answer. Fairy Xuan Yue soon sat down and looked at the tempting "Fried Fish with Cardamom" in front of her, taking a deep breath in ecstasy.
"Fragrant, it's so fragrant, it makes people salivate!"
Fairy Xuan Yue's intoxication had a great stimulating effect on the fairy chefs behind her, making the sound of swallowing saliva loud.
"Why are you all standing there? Don't you see that you still need to clean up a blue and white fairy fish?" Fairy Xuan Yue scolded.
"Why are you all standing there? Don't you see that you still need to clean up a blue and white fairy fish?"
The chefs who were scolded by Xuan Yue immediately scolded the ordinary fairy chefs who were watching.
"Commander, can you really finish this ten-pound blue and white fairy fish by yourself?"
"If you can't finish it, we are willing to clean up the mess!"
"Commander, you must leave some for us!"
The chefs spoke one by one, and the expressions on their faces were so flattering.
"Okay, wait until I taste it first, you guys are talking too much!"
Fairy Xuan Yue said impatiently, picked up the chopsticks and began to taste the 'Fried Fish with Cardamom'.
After the fish skin, which was steaming, browned on the outside, and had a little blue and white pattern, was picked up by Fairy Xuan Yue, the rich aroma originally sealed in the fish meat suddenly spread, wantonly teasing everyone's sense of smell.
The unique taste of the fish skin, combined with the crispy and browned surface, fully released the deliciousness in Fairy Xuan Yue's mouth.
"Delicious! After the overall sublimation of the food by 'Momentary Fragrance', the fish skin has become a little bit unlike fish skin. I have eaten countless blue and white fairy fish in my life, but I have never experienced this kind of fragrant and strong taste."
After a simple evaluation of intoxication, Fairy Xuan Yue picked up the fish meat with chopsticks.
As the white and tender fish entered her mouth, the expression on Fairy Xuanyue's face became more intoxicated. Different from the previous tempting fragrance, it began to spread in the air as she chewed the fish.
After eating several mouthfuls of fish, Fairy Xuanyue said: "The taste and texture of the blue and white fairy fish meat has risen to this level. It is no less than the taste of the blue and white dragon fish, which is also a high-grade ingredient among the blue and white fish species!"
Fairy Xuanyue praised Gu Zheng very much for being able to make the taste of medium-grade ingredients no less than that of high-grade ingredients.
"Okay, the remaining 'Fragrant Cardamom Fried Fish' belongs to you!"
Although she didn't eat a few bites and didn't eat enough, Fairy Xuanyue still restrained her appetite. After all, she was the leader of the fairy kitchen, and she still had to have the necessary demeanor. Besides, Gu Zheng was her junior brother, and she only needed to say it whenever she wanted to eat.
Time passed, the fragrance filled the air. Gu Zheng had already prepared fifteen of the sixteen dishes to be prepared today. Among these dishes, Gu Zheng tried his best to let Xuan Yue and the others learn more.
Finally, it was time to prepare the last dish, which was a vegetarian dish, which was the one ordered by Anil.
The main ingredients of the dish ordered by Anil were provided by him, and the other auxiliary ingredients were all in the kitchen.
The ingredients provided by Anil came from the outside world. It looked like a white radish with green leaves and white rhizomes. Gu Zheng also saw it for the first time.
After receiving the ingredients from Anil, Gu Zheng put them into the prehistoric space. But now, when Gu Zheng took the ingredients given by Anil from the prehistoric space, his face couldn't help but change slightly.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?"
Xuan Yue Fairy is also a very smart person. Seeing Gu Zheng's face change slightly, she immediately sent a voice message to ask.
"This Anil is really courting death. He actually wants to trick me with the ingredients!"
Gu Zheng paused, and then told Xuan Yue Fairy the reason.
When Gu Zheng first received the ingredients from Anilu, there was nothing wrong with this high-grade ingredient. However, after the passage of time, some special substances were produced in it. This substance belongs to the category of Dao Heart induction. Because it was the first time he saw it, Gu Zheng did not know their specific functions. However, under the premise that the two sides had already made enemies, Anilu provided such an ingredient for Gu Zheng to cook, so the first disadvantage that Gu Zheng thought of was poison! Unknown substances produce unknown toxins, and unknown toxins exist in the body, and will be stimulated by unknown means at that time!
"Incredible, Anilu is so stupid that he actually wants to use poison to poison the immortal chef who has reached the realm of 'two gives birth to three'!" said Fairy Xuanyue.
"No, Anilu is not stupid, but he made a wrong judgment. If my Dao Heart is only the most basic, then I really can't see what's wrong with this ingredient!" said Gu Zheng.
"Dao Heart is elementary? What's going on?"
Fairy Xuanyue's confusion is not surprising, because even if he is a gluttonous immortal, his Dao Heart is only elementary. Before Gu Zheng went to the poisonous swamp, he brewed the immortal wine "Xingxu Drink". His Tao Heart was improved by chance. Even Tiexian was impressed afterwards! After all, Tiexian's Tao Heart was still the same as when it was opened, and he had never encountered such a situation as Gu Zheng.
After listening to Gu Zheng's explanation, Fairy Xuanyue asked: "Since you know that Anilü has ulterior motives, what are you going to do?"
"Whoever wants to eat it can eat it. We just don't eat this dish." Gu Zheng said.
After the last dish came out of the pot, the feast started soon. Some polite words were inevitable, and then everyone started to feast.
For Gu Zheng's cooking skills, everyone naturally praised him, and the atmosphere of laughter in the hall looked really good.
"Everyone come and try it. How about the ingredient I ordered?"
After all, the dish was ordered by Anilü. Before he opened his mouth, no one else had touched the ingredient he ordered.
"Since the master has invited us, we won't be polite."
Fairy Xuanyang spoke first and tasted it first.
"It tastes really good, very fragrant!" Fairy Xuanyang said intoxicatedly.
"Wouldn't you like to try it, fellow Daoist Gu?" Anirudd said to Gu Zheng.
"No need to taste it, I know how the dishes I made taste, so I'll leave it for everyone to eat!" Gu Zheng smiled.
"What about Fairy? Don't you want to try it? See how your junior brother's cooking skills compare to yours?" Anirudd asked Fairy Xuanyue again.
"I've already tasted it in the kitchen before." Fairy Xuanyue said.
"Fairy actually tasted it first, it's really not nice!" Venerable Xueying said.
"Anyway, it doesn't damage the image of the dishes, it's normal for the fairy chef to taste it in advance, hurry up and eat it, if you don't eat it, there will be no more!"
Fairy Xuanyue rolled her eyes at Venerable Xueying, and in the short time they were talking, Anirudd's ingredients were almost eaten up because they were too delicious.
"Did the fairy forget? I never eat food cooked with ingredients from outside the circle." Venerable Blood Shadow smiled.
"Indeed, I forgot about this matter." Fairy Xuanyue suddenly said.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes tasted five flavors.
"Today, Junior Brother Gu killed the giant monster, which reduced the number of monsters that escaped into the Ice and Snow Plain. However, the strength of the giant monster should also make us alert. The strength of the monsters that escaped into the Ice and Snow Plain should not be underestimated! Tomorrow, someone will still be needed to lead a team to patrol the Ice and Snow Plain. I will decide on the leader now." Taiyi Zhenren said.
"The people who go to the Ice and Snow Plain for patrol will still be divided into two groups."
Master Taiyi paused and looked at Gu Zheng: "Junior Brother Gu wants to contribute to the Immortal Camp. Tomorrow you will also go to inspect the Ice Death Snowfield, right?"
"Senior brother, let me join a team with junior brother tomorrow?" Fairy Xuanyue said.
Master Taiyi shook his head: "Xuanyue, you stay in the immortal camp, there are still things you need to do tomorrow."
"What happened?" Xuan Yue asked.
"You are Han Yue's junior sister. Han Yue and the others have been in the black hole for a while. Although there are no problems with the jade talismans, they haven't returned yet, which still makes people a little worried! I want to show you how to do it tomorrow. Let's see. Let's see what happens to Han Yue and others," said Master Tai Yi.
Fairy Huanyin understood that Master Taiyi said so, and it would be difficult to persist after Xuan Yue, so she said: "Brother, let me be paired with Junior Brother Gu tomorrow!"
"Junior Sister has just inspected the snowfield, don't you choose to stay in the Immortal Camp for a rest?" Master Taiyi asked.
"Although I experienced an ambush by a giant monster during my last inspection of the academy, it really had no impact. Senior brother, please let me go with you!" Fairy Huanyin said.
"Okay, then tomorrow you two will work together."
Master Taiyi paused, looked at Aniryu and said, "How about the second group be led by Grandmaster and Xuanyang?"
"Whatever you want the poor monk to do, the master can just arrange it."
"no problem."
Aniryu and Fairy Xuanyang readily agreed.
After the banquet, Fairy Xuanyang and Aniryu found Lord Blood Shadow.
"Xueying, tomorrow Guzheng and Huanyin will go to the Icefall Snowfield. Are you determined?" Anilu said with a smile.
Biting his lip, Lord Blood Shadow said: "You two, I don't want to be an enemy of Gu anymore."
"Why?" Fairy Xuanyang's expression changed.
"It doesn't matter if I say I'm afraid of death, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just don't want to be his enemy."
Regarding the ancient dispute, after careful consideration, Lord Blood Shadow felt that it was better to give up.
"Destroying Gu Zheng can take revenge and leave no flaws in your mind. But if you don't join us in destroying Gu Zheng, do you think Gu Zheng will let you go?" Aniryu said seriously.
"When is the time to retaliate? Even if I destroy the ancient struggle, will my life be easy? As for leaving flaws in my state of mind, haha, my cultivation has reached the level of you and me, do you still care about this flaw? It's not like you can become a saint if you don't have any flaws! As for whether to let it go, I'd rather believe that Gu Zheng won't take the initiative in this matter than that we can get rid of Gu Zheng by joining forces with you." The same goes for Venerable Blood Shadow! Very serious.
"Gu Zheng is indeed very powerful, but the three of us working together are not bad, not to mention the dish that the poor monk made today..."
"Don't mention that dish of yours! You actually want to trick him on the way of eating. I really don't know what to say! Didn't you see that Gu Zheng didn't touch your dish at all? As for Huanyin said he wanted to go with Gu Zheng, but he didn’t even touch it!”
It was precisely because of this incident that Lord Blood Shadow felt that Anirudh was a pig teammate, which had a great influence on his final giving up.
"You guys should give up, no matter what you say, I will no longer participate!" Lord Blood Shadow said again.
"Xueying, are you playing with us?" Fairy Xuanyang's eyes turned cold.
"What do you mean by playing with you? I originally told you that I had to think about it!" Lord Blood Shadow sneered.
"you,"
Fairy Xuanyang wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Aniryu.
"Okay, since the Venerable doesn't want to participate, then don't participate. But the Venerable won't stab you in the back, right?" Anirudh said with narrowed eyes.
"Won't!"
Venerable Blood Shadow answered affirmatively, but his heart was moved by this.
"Okay, let's go!"
Aniryu left with the unwilling Xuanyang Fairy, while Lord Blood Shadow frowned tightly.
Venerable Blood Shadow is really timid about killing Gu Zheng. However, if Aniryu hadn't mentioned stabbing someone in the back, then he really wouldn't have thought about it.
"Without my participation, Aniryu and Xuanyang will both die. With such an outcome, will Gu Zheng really let me go just because I didn't participate?"
"Since Aniryu and Xuanyang are bound to die, I'd better tell Gu Zheng about this!"
Without hesitating in his heart for long, Venerable Blood Shadow sent his message to Guzheng with his spiritual thoughts.
"hateful!"
Aniryu, who had not yet flown back to his residence, suddenly sent a message to Fairy Xuanyang.
"What's wrong?" Fairy Xuanyang asked.
"Xueying thought we couldn't find him, but he actually sent a message to Gu Zheng at this time!" Aniryu said bitterly.
Fairy Xuanyang frowned. He indeed did not find the blood shadow transmitting messages to Gu Zheng.
"Then do you know the content of the message?" Fairy Xuanyang asked.
"I just know that he sent a message to Guzheng. I have no way of knowing the content of the message, but I can guess what the content of the message is!" said Anilu.
"Bastard!" Fairy Xuanyang turned around.
"What are you doing? This place is still a fairy camp after all. We will wait until we settle the ancient dispute. Now is not the time to break up with Xueying! What's more, even if Xueying sends a message to inform, it will be of no value. Even if he doesn't send a message, Gu Zheng probably already knows that we want to deal with him!" Anilu said.
"What should we do now?" Fairy Xuanyang asked.
"The plan remains unchanged. Let's fight on the ice and snow field tomorrow!" Aniryu sneered.
"Junior brother, what happened just now?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng frowned for a moment and lowered his brows, she was very curious as she didn't notice the message transmitted by Lord Blood Shadow.
"Just now, Venerable Blood Shadow sent me a message, telling me that these two guys, Anilü and Xuanyang, will attack me on the Ice and Snow Plain tomorrow!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
