Fairyland Food Column

Cheng Xi took out a small pot of flour from the hourglass space. Since raising a flower slave in the hourglass space, Cheng Xi no longer had to look for vegetables. The hourglass space was neatly planted with rice, wheat, and peppers. , Onions, garlic and other ingredients can be taken out and used at a stroke of the mind.Not only that, Hua Xia Nu and Cheng Xi have the same mind, even if Hua Xia Nu has no spiritual intelligence, he can make wheat into flour under Cheng Xi's command, and even the production methods of soy sauce and vinegar have a clue.

"Is this pearl powder?" Rong Rao asked after seeing the craftsman making spiritual weapons with pearl powder.

"Flour." Cheng Xi held the basin and looked around, "Where is the water?"

As a dragon clan, Rong Rao controlled the water aura just as he was breathing, a cloud of water-blue liquid immediately condensed in mid-air.

Cheng Xi has long been familiar with the magic of shooting water and spouting fire in the fairy world. After signaling Rong Rao to pour water into the basin, he stretched his hands into the basin and started kneading. The flour was kneaded during countless times of kneading. After the dough is formed, put the white and fat dough in a basin to ferment for a while before using it.

Next to deal with the most difficult ingredients, the overturned sea crab seemed to know its own fate, and moved the crab legs to escape. Cheng Xi smiled slightly and tied up the crab claws and legs of the sea crab with hemp rope. In order not to be caught when being processed, the tip of the scale knife was inserted into the edge of the sea crab shell, and the whole sea crab shell was broken off with a little force to reveal the gills and crab roe inside.

"This sea crab is really fat." Cheng Xi had never seen such a fat sea crab before. He dug out a small bowl of crab roe with a spoon, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and it was full of the fishy smell of the sea.

"You can eat this too." Rong Rao never knew that the sea crabs everywhere in the sea could be eaten like this.

"I won't disappoint you, just wait to eat." Cheng Xi peeled off the inedible gills, but the scale knife cut across the middle of the sea crab, neatly divided the sea crab into two pieces, and took out the crystal clear inside. Finely chop the crab meat into minced meat on a chopping board, and then mix in the ginger that is cut into evenly sized granules.

"It smells so bad." Rong Rao picked up a piece of bright yellow ginger, looked left and right, and stuffed it into his mouth, only to be spit out his tongue.

"Sea crabs are cold in nature. Eating too much is not good for your health. At this time, you need ginger to neutralize it." Cheng Xi put the well-stirred crab meat in a bowl, poured some semi-finished soy sauce for color and flavor, and then So it is a semi-finished product because the taste is a little lighter and the color is a little lighter.

The next step is to roll the noodles. The skin of the crab roe dumpling is not low. It can’t be too thick or the stuffing inside will be steamed when the skin is cooked, and it can’t be too thin. All flowed out.

Maybe Cheng Xi hasn't made this kind of exquisite dim sum for a long time. The craftsmanship is still there but it's still raw. It takes several times to roll out a suitable dough.After rolling out the round skins one by one, Cheng Xi picked up the crab meat with chopsticks and spread it in the middle of the dough, and then put a piece of crab roe in the middle of the crab meat. At first glance, it looked like a flower blooming just right.

With a bend of Cheng Xi's slender fingers, he sealed the dough and placed it on the steamer, with exactly fourteen folds.

"Better than my jewelry." Rong Rao commented after looking at it for a while.

"This is food, how can it compare with jewelry?" Cheng Xi put eight crab roe dumplings on the steamer one by one, closed the lid, and started to steam.

"You said you were at home for the third time, why aren't your brothers and sisters at home?" Cheng Xi found a topic to chat with while waiting for the crab roe dumplings to be cooked.

"Because I ate the two brothers in front of me." Rong Rao smiled, showing her small white teeth, "At the beginning, my mother gave birth to three eggs, and the last one I was born was called the third princess. During the hatching process, the aura was insufficient, so I ate them all before they could break out of their shells."

Cheng Xi opened his mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say, so he could only look back at the steamer that was smoking.

"Why don't you know?" Rong Rao became curious, "Did you have only one egg when you were born?"

"Me?" Cheng Xi didn't know how to answer, so he changed the subject abruptly, "The crab roe dumplings are cooked."

Rong Rao's attention was immediately attracted by the delicious Xiaolongbao, and she stood beside Cheng Xi to watch the Xiaolongbao come out of the oven.

As soon as a gap was opened in the lid of the steamer, the mist inside could not wait to float out, and the eight crab roe steamed buns placed in the steamer could only be seen after the smoke cleared.

The skin of the crab roe dumplings is translucent, and the filling inside can be seen. The fourteen folds are softened by the transpiration of the mist, like a flower blooming gracefully.

"Why is there no smell at all?" Compared with the fragrant Garlic Shrimp, the Crab Roe Xiaolongbao just stayed in the steamer quietly, without any fragrance.

"The taste is locked inside. If there is a fragrance, this crab roe dumpling will not be fresh." Cheng Xi put the lid of the steamer aside.

Rong Rao was about to grab some steamed buns, but was stopped by Cheng Xi.There is also a skill in pinching the steamed buns. I saw that Cheng Xi used chopsticks to gently and delicately clamp the folds of the steamed buns, and lifted the steamed buns into a small dish with his hands, and then blow the heat away until the temperature drops a little. Just bowed his head and took a bite.

The skin of Xiao Long Bao is soft, smooth and tough. When the teeth touch the skin, the skin is broken and the crab meat inside is bitten directly. You can taste the soup in your mouth after sucking it. The crab meat is just taken out of live crabs. Stuffed, no more than a quarter of an hour before and after, you can chew the fresh taste in your mouth, there is no extra seasoning in it, the crabs living in the sea already have the salty taste of the sea, no need to add anything something.

Take another bite and you will eat the crab roe in the center. This crab roe is the essence of crab roe dumpling. The smooth and tender crab meat is wrapped with pink crab roe and the soft and firm skin. The whole mouth is delicious. Tongue swallowed together, and occasionally chewed a piece of spicy ginger, which brought out the umami taste even more.

Cheng Xi chewed and swallowed the whole steamed bun, but couldn't think of any words to describe it, so he could only sigh three times that it was delicious.

"I think the enjoyment of appreciating the Dao is nothing more than this!" Rong Rao learned Cheng Xi's method to eat the steamed buns. She bit the chopsticks and licked all the soup on the chopsticks. Some people said that they stopped after eating five crab roe steamed buns, "Can you teach me how to make these things? I worship you as my teacher!"

Cheng Xi himself is not very old, and he has not been learning cooking for a long time. He thinks that he has not achieved much in cooking. Many of them just relied on the wisdom of their ancestors. Now a person who looks better than him The young girl wanted to be a teacher, so she was hesitant.

"Why don't you be my son-in-law, cook it for me directly, and don't have to teach me so much trouble." Sure enough, Rong Rao didn't make things difficult for Cheng Xi, and immediately threw out another option.

Choosing between the son-in-law and the master, Cheng Xi chose to be the master without even thinking about it, but he still said cautiously, "What I teach you is not a big deal, and I can't teach advanced cooking skills. You don't have to call My master, it is enough to be commensurate with the same generation."

Rong Rao tilted her head and thought for a while, "My father and king call me Rao Rao, so I'll call you Xixi!"

When Cheng Xi heard the word Xixi, the little soft Ying Long pulled his sleeve and connected to Xixi softly, and couldn't help but giggled, forgetting to ask Rong Rao to change his name. a title.

Two days later, there will be a sea market once every 100 years in the seaside city. During the three days when the seaside city is held, the ban will be lifted in the seaside city, allowing foreign humans and monsters to enter. The seaside city has many treasures and materials in the sea, and there is nowhere to buy them at ordinary times. , can only be purchased in the sea market, because of this, countless monks have come to participate in the century-old sea market.

But before the sea market started, the seaside city still did not allow foreign monks to enter, and a large number of monks could only stay on the boat and wait for the day of the sea market.

"I said that this seaside city has quite a lot of rules." The monks on the deck had nothing to do and discussed, "They even sent people to patrol, for fear that we might do something."

"After all, it's a monster in the sea... Look, that mermaid looks really good! It would be great if I could buy one and use it as a cauldron." A dishonest monk saw the beautiful-looking mermaid of the sea clan and flirted. Get up, "It must be a fairy-like enjoyment."

The monk next to him immediately glared at him, "Aren't you going to kill yourself? Sea people have always hated us human monks, if what you say is heard by the sea people, be careful that they overturn the boat and let the shrimp soldiers and crab generals swallow you alive Yes, everyone on the whole ship will be buried with you."

The flamboyant monk quickly shut his mouth, for fear of being overheard by the Hai Clan, he would lose his life if he couldn't buy the treasure.

After this episode, the discussion voices of the people on the splint became much lighter.

Ying Long walked out of the cabin, leaned on the railing and looked at the scene of the coastal city.

"Ah Xi..." Ying Long clenched his fists and called out in a low voice. He could feel that Cheng Xi was in the seaside city. This feeling of being so close but not being able to go in and find Cheng Xi immediately made Ying Long very uncomfortable.He didn't understand why he cared so much about Cheng Xi, maybe Cheng Xi was the first person he saw after he regained his sanity, or maybe Cheng Xi could cook a lot of strange and delicious things.

Ying Long slammed his fist on the railing, venting his complicated emotions, forcing himself not to think about Cheng Xi, and keeping the Lingtai clear.

"The heart is flawed." Ying Long understood the current situation. He was invaded by people from other worlds, and he found a loophole. Using this loophole, he slowly drew out his inner demons, and finally achieved the goal of manipulating his mind.

Now his weakness is Cheng Xi.

"Axi." Ying Long called out Cheng Xi's name again. Now the solution is to fill this loophole. Since you are afraid that Cheng Xi will be in danger if you leave, then hold him firmly by your side and protect him from being harmed. any danger.
