I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The reason why he finalized the boiled cabbage dish at the beginning was precisely because of the complexity of its ingredients, and he wanted to buy more to expand his own recipe.

Can the system beat itself?
Yin Xuan casually glanced at the price.

With a puff, the water he just drank spouted out.

What the hell is this price!

A hen to be consistent?
Twice a piece of ham?

Is he helping himself, or is he robbing himself, renovating restaurants and houses, that cost him a lot of money, and now he has less than ten pens left in his hands.

Before Yin Xuan could get into trouble, the system gave a prompt: "Dear host, please trust the system, the ingredients provided by the system are all of the highest quality."

"The chickens are Qingyuan hemp chickens, which are raised on the sunny ridge at an altitude of 300 meters. They grow vigorously on the wide grasslands and among the dense sycamore forests. They do not eat feed, but eat natural wild fat creatures and drink well. It is the cleanest and pollution-free mountain spring water.”

Yin Xuan's face turned green: "You're raising a phoenix, right?"

The system continued to introduce: "Ducks are Chaohu Shelducks, which grow by the edge of Chaohu Lake. They play and grow in the clear water of Chaohu Lake, and eat the freshest fish, shrimp and algae."

"The ham is the winter ham from Jinhua ham, and the system has adapted the most suitable bone-in ham for you, starting at the beginning of winter."

Yin Xuan waved his hand and sighed weakly: "Forget it, forget it, you don't need to introduce it, anyway, it's so expensive, but it must be worth the money, right?"

The system replied: "Yes."

What can I do?
Willingly shell out the money and get these materials out.

It seems that in order to allow Yin Xuan to concentrate on the cooking competition, the ingredients bought are all processed by the system and freshly slaughtered.

From the pot, I found a large soup pot, filled a bucket full of water, stuffed chicken, duck, pork ribs, and pork knuckles into it, and then added two heads of ginger and a handful of green onions.

The fire was on.

Wait until the bubbles are bubbling and the gray impurities are floating in the whole pot.Turn off the heat, take out all these ingredients, clean them, put them in a new pot of water, and cook again.

Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat.

Cooking soup has always been a labor-intensive task, skimming off the oil and floating powder, and simmering until the branches of the moon, the floating powder gradually ceases to precipitate in the soup.

Of course, this is not the end.

Fire up the charcoal stove, pour the soup and ingredients into the prepared earthen pot, add it to the charcoal fire, and simmer slowly.

Yin Xuan fell asleep in the kitchen, and asked the system to set an alarm clock for himself, wake up every two hours, and change the charcoal fire until the sky brightened.

The soup that has been simmered overnight is almost ready.

Did you think this was the end?

No, this is still just the beginning.

Salvage out the ingredients and discard them. Forget it, I spent so much money to buy them, I will make some side dishes later, to coax Li Lizhi and the others to be happy, maybe I can exchange some copper coins.

The next step is to want the soup to be as pure as clear water, without a trace of impurities.

"Sweep the soup".

Spread a layer of strainer on the pot, slowly put the soup from the crock into the pot, and let it simmer on a low heat.

the other side.

Yin Xuan bought two pieces of chicken breast, chopped them into minced meat, poured them into a bowl and mixed them with water to make a pulp—then poured the cloudy liquid into the clear soup.

After simmering on low heat for about half an hour, you will be surprised to find that the meat pulp will form impurities that appear when blanching, floating on the top of the soup.

At this time, you only need to filter the soup once.The new soup is somewhat purer than the pot just now.

Of course, the filtered impurities can only be discarded.

The second soup is replaced with chicken leg meat, and the third soup is pork tenderloin.

After repeating this three times, there is really no impurity left in the soup.

Finally, put the previously used simmered seeds back into the soup, stew for half an hour, and then pour it into the earthen jar.

Until this time, the boiled water used for boiled cabbage is completed. The soup is clear and the color is like tea.

Finish cooking the most critical soup.

Yin Xuan glanced at the system mall, the price of cabbage is also very expensive, one cabbage costs [-] Wen - which cabbage can be so expensive?

He finally understood that the system was to prevent himself from hoarding food.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

I, Yin, lost.

After buying a cabbage, Yin Xuan was not in a hurry to deal with it. Instead, holding the urn and cabbage, he walked towards the stove built at the entrance of the street.

Continue to simmer on the stove to warm up the soup.

The people from Mingyue Building also just arrived.

"Shopkeeper, did you come so early?" The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower greeted him.

Yin Xuan nodded, and smiled back: "You came quite early, too."

The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower looked at the earthen pot simmering on the charcoal fire, and asked curiously: "What kind of dishes are you preparing?"

Yin Xuan tilted his head and looked at him: "I'll find out in a while, why are you in such a hurry."

The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower bowed: "That's abrupt."

More and more people came to watch.

There are local residents of Huaizhenfang, as well as nobles who came from other places after hearing the news, and they are also taking a bath on the first day of the Tang court.

Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't squeeze in the crowd, so they built a shed outside.

Wait for the number of people to gradually increase.

A scholar came out from the crowd and introduced loudly: "Welcome everyone to come and watch this culinary competition."

"The two sides in this competition, one is the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, Mingyuelou, which has an excellent reputation. They all say that its level is not inferior to Shangshiju."

"The other side is my Tongfu restaurant in Huaizhenfang. I think everyone should have eaten his fried skewers, steamed stuffed buns, and deep-fried dough sticks."

Speaking of this, he paused and clapped his palms.

Behind Mingyuelou and Yin Xuan, two people rubbed against each other, erecting two planks.

One has the word "boiled" written on it, and the other has the word "dish" written on it.

The scholar continued to introduce: "The theme of this culinary competition is just as you can see. One is boiled water, and the other is vegetables."

"I don't know what kind of dishes the two master chefs can make under such conditions!"

As he spoke, the scholar raised his hand and swung it down fiercely.

"I announce that the competition is officially starting now!"

The shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower turned green, staring at Yin Xuan with complicated eyes.

He didn't expect Yin Xuan to be able to make such a battle, and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Yin Xuan smiled and nodded towards him.

This is what he came up with.

Although it also made his scalp tingle and felt unexpected embarrassment, but in order to make a name, the best way is to make a big fight.
