I have a Yokai cookbook [Gourmet]

After a good night's sleep, Chi Ming got up early in the morning and was squatting in the cellar to check the salted duck eggs marinated a month ago.

The eggshells are clean and cyan, without any impurities or spots, and they are huge. Each one is double-yellow. He bought it from a farmer who lives by the river.

The plankton, fish and shrimp in the river are extremely rich, and the eggs laid by shelducks raised on these foods are not only high in nutritional value, but also better in quality than free-range white ducks.

Chi Ming picked up a salted duck egg, put it to his ear and shook it gently, and could feel a slight tremor.

It appears to be done.

Chi Ming picked up a few and sealed the jar properly again.

As he expected, when he cracked the eggshell after cooking, he saw two reddish-yellow egg yolks squeezed inside.

With a random flick of the chopsticks, there will be fresh and crystal butter bubbling out.

The closer the yolk is to the center, the redder it is and the better the taste.

Before hairy crabs were on the market, Chi Ming would sometimes use salted egg yolk to make crabs to satisfy his cravings.

Whether it is baked tofu, baked pumpkin, or corn, salted egg yolk is delicious, especially the egg yolk that is prone to sand, and the taste will be better when fried.

Fat Chef is good at making drunken crab, pickled fish, and shrimp paste, but he has never tried pickled eggs.

"Master, I only know that Gaoyou's salted egg yolk has a long-standing reputation. Now I taste the salted duck eggs you pickled, Master, and I feel that it is not too bad. I have seen others pickled salted duck eggs. The taste is not only unauthentic, sometimes it tastes bad There is a rotten smell, what's going on?"

"Before marinating duck eggs, the egg shells need to be washed and drained, then soaked in a certain concentration of white wine and exposed to the sun for an hour. The cracks were opened, causing the inside to rot and deteriorate."

"As for the pickling method, there are many kinds according to personal hobbies and the customs of each region. Like me, the one that produces a lot of oil and the egg yolk is soaked in salt water. The salt water needs to be boiled before use, not directly. unboiled water."

"If your taste is salty, you can also soak it directly in white wine and then wrap it in coarse salt to marinate."

"So that's how it is." The fat cook took out a small notebook from nowhere and buried himself in the notebook carefully.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He wrote down what he learned every day in his notebook, and he could read it again in bed at night to deepen his impression.

"Mr. Chi, I'm back."

Chi Ming froze his hands, and saw Li Qi running in with a batch of bags on his back.

"Why did you come back so early, don't you spend more time with your parents at home?"

Li Qi put the package on the ground, and the smile on his face couldn't stop, a gust of wind rushed to the back of the stove: "Shopkeeper, I miss you to death, without you, I can't do it these days." I can't eat. Look, I've lost so much weight. Hey, who are you?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then he found a tall man with a beard behind the stove occupying the place that originally belonged to him.

"Who are you?" The fat cook threw a piece of dry wood into the burning stove.

"I'm the clerk here." Li Qi puffed out his chest, very proudly.

"Oh, me too." The fat cook thought for a while. Although the master didn't accept him now, he didn't drive him away, so he is also a part of this place.

"Ah, you too?" Li Qi couldn't help but look up and down the person in front of him, with an inexplicable sense of crisis.

He's only been away for ten days, and a "little goblin" sneaks in! !

It seems that he will work harder in the future.

"Mr. Chi, these are some mountain products that my parents asked me to bring you. These sweet potatoes are all grown by myself, and these beans were just harvested last year."

"Your parents are interested." Compared with the cold yellow and white things, Chi Ming prefers the bright yellow soybeans and the sweet and soft sweet potatoes.

"Why didn't Yu Sheng come back with you? Did he come back later?" According to the usual relationship between the two, it was unreasonable for Li Qi to come back alone.

"Hey, I was just about to tell you about him." Li Qi put away the hippie smile on his face, and said a little sullenly: "Yu Sheng's mother arranged a marriage for him years ago without telling him. I heard that the woman is The youngest daughter of a rich family in the county, although the conditions are good, but I heard from my father that the woman eloped with someone a month ago and had a miscarriage. I don't know what Aunt Qiu Qin thinks, she is determined to give her son Pushing it into the fire pit, I now wonder if Yu Sheng was born in their family."

"And this matter? What's your attitude for the rest of your life?"

Aunt Qiu Qin should really love Yu Sheng. A mother who really loves her child would never do such a thing that hurt her own child.

Chi Ming couldn't figure it out.

Although he didn't spend much time in Zaoyun Village, he still knew a little about Aunt Qiuqin's family.

"Hey, Yu Sheng is of course strongly against it, but so what, his grandparents and grandparents are all in favor of this marriage, and the dowry money has been collected, maybe the dowry money is almost spent."

Li Qiyue said the more angry that Aunt Qiu Qin was really short-sighted, and sold her son for that little bride price.

It's better for his parents, and everything is considered for him.

In fact, the reason why he came back so early was because he wanted to tell Mr. Chi about it.

He can't save the rest of his life, but Mr. Chi has great powers, maybe he can.

Yu Sheng was a good buddy who grew up with him, he didn't want to watch him being pushed into the fire pit.

"Go, pack your things, and go back with me." Li Yusheng was in his shop, so he couldn't ignore this matter.

"I knew Mr. Chi was the most loyal." Li Qi's eyes were like lit fireworks, which exploded into tiny stars.

He Li Qi did not follow the wrong person.

As soon as they walked to the door, they saw a horse galloping from the street in the distance.

I saw a pair of young men sitting on a white horse, the young man in green sat in front, the young man in white was holding the rein with one hand, and the man in his arms with the other.

"Yu Sheng, it's Yu Sheng and them!" Li Qi immediately recognized the young man in Tsing Yi with his head bowed and his face flushed.

"Master, we're back." Chacha got off the horse first, and a smile finally appeared on her originally gloomy face.

"Well, why did you come back with Yu Sheng?"

Could it be that Chacha rescued him?

"Master, you've heard about him. Actually, it's because of me. But it's okay, everything has been resolved." Chacha recalled the scene she saw, her eyes darkened, that fool, If he went to find him later, he might turn into a cold corpse.

"Hey, how long are you going to sit on it? Do you want me to take you down?" Chacha turned her head and saw that the man was still sitting listlessly on the horseback, and couldn't help feeling angry.

Like a little girl, she also said that she would repay him for saving his life.

Tsk, he owed this debt 600 years ago, can he pay it off?

"I, my legs are numb." After Li Yusheng finished speaking, his face turned even redder. He was fair and clean, and with the fact that he had been on a hunger strike for the past few days, his face looked pale with a touch of sickness.

"It's really troublesome." Chacha said disgustedly, but her body honestly hugged him off the horse.

In front of so many people, Li Yusheng felt that the hands around his waist burned his cheeks to smoke, and he suddenly didn't dare to look into the eyes of others, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

He admitted that from the moment he appeared in front of him, his death-hunting eyes rekindled the desire for life.

What a beautiful and happy thing to be alive.

He couldn't bear to die.

He wanted to look at him again.

No, not enough, he wanted to see him every day, even from a distance.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to come back today, and I, Hu Batian, came back too~" Hu Batian was still wearing the pair of little tiger straw sandals, and came from a distance in a dawdly manner, holding several jars of wine sealed in mud.

The appearance of Hu Batian interrupted the delicate atmosphere between Li Yusheng and Chacha.

Li Yusheng also seemed a little more at ease.

"I didn't expect you all to come back early." Looking at the bustling family, Chi Ming was a little relieved. He was alone in Zaoyun Village a year ago, and he didn't expect to be surrounded by so many people in the blink of an eye.

"Come in, all of you. Since you're not going out, I'll cook you a big meal at noon, and I'll treat it as a clean-up for you."

"Tsk tsk tsk, how can I, Feng Qi, be missing from this cleansing feast?" The little fox Feng Qi jumped down from the roof, her red robe was particularly conspicuous, especially when the wind blew, the jingling bells sounded It rang.

"Feng Qi, you're back too." Lin Yaoyao stood on the opposite roof, and behind her was a little girl who was also wearing a bunny, but the difference was that she wore a pear flower on the tip of her hair, which looked Lively, unusually cute.

A large group of people pushed and shoved each other to the pool banquet, which was as lively as visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

The coachman who rushed over quickly threw the reins, pulled a child who looked like a broken lotus root from the carriage, pinched it under his armpit, and walked towards the pool banquet.

Hu Batian, who was walking in front, sniffed the air suspiciously, but suddenly stopped leaving.

As soon as he put the wine jar on the table, he rushed out of the door, just bumping into the coachman who was trying to squeeze in.

He immediately yelled: "Hey, Zhen Batian, what the hell are you doing, I just left on the front foot, and you followed me on the back foot. Are you a follower? You are not welcome here, go away."

The coachman was taken aback, he was eager to ask for credit from Chi Ming, but was suddenly stopped, and seeing that it was his rival Hu Batian, he was a little unhappy: "Why should I leave? This is also my home, and the master has already agreed to take me in. Hmph, how about it, be amazed!"

The coachman straightened his chest uprightly, he is now a member of Chi Yan, and he no longer has to hide in the corner to smell.

"Zhen Batian! Good for you!!" Hu Batian thought about it carefully, and when he saw what happened in the past, especially when he saw the joy on the other party's face, he felt very uncomfortable.

Although the two of them got along fairly well in Zhaoyao Mountain in the past few days, if they could look up and see each other every day, they would instinctively resist.

He looked at the child in the other party's arms, and beat his chest and stamped his feet again, it was too insidious, really insidious and cunning, why didn't he think of taking advantage of the few days of the Chinese New Year to catch some little monsters for his master.

What a mistake.

Especially when he saw that Lin Yaoyao, the youngest peach tree spirit, brought back a little friend, he was even more depressed.

He has been too busy drinking these days, wandering around the mountains.

He deliberately stepped forward, grabbed the driver's arm, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Then welcome you to join our loving family."

"Hu Batian, let go quickly, what kind of electric shock did you give me in broad daylight!" Although it was a slight electrostatic reaction, but the constant crackling electric shock, no matter how thick his skin was, he would still feel uncomfortable all over.

"Oh, I forget it when I get excited." Hu Batian retracted his fur paw, feeling more comfortable.

Chi Ming cooked a large table of dishes. Fortunately, there are many people and they are quick to cook. The level of luxury is not inferior to the level of the New Year's Eve dinner.

This time, the little fox brought a few big bags of fresh mushrooms, especially morels and bamboo fungus, which Chi Ming loved the most.

Looking at the huge morels, Chi Ming was really happy, and even had the urge to pick up fungi in the little fox's hometown.

But when the little fox heard that he was going to his house, he quickly shook his head. He also ran out secretly this time.

Moreover, he picked these fungus from his father's mountain overnight. His father cherishes these fungus the most. If he finds out that he robbed all the fungus he cultivated so hard, he will have his legs broken when he goes back.

The most important thing is that he also abducted all the mushroom spirits that his father picked up in his early years.

With mushroom essence, is he afraid that he will not be able to eat fresh chicken stewed mushrooms in the future?

After Chi Ming sent Li Qi and Li Yusheng away, he held a small meeting with the demons.

He watched the little monsters popping up one by one like little radish heads, and distributed candies to a few little monsters with bright eyes.

The little fox brought back a mushroom essence;

The coachman not only joined in himself, but also brought back the essence of Polygonum multiflorum;

Even Taoshujing Yaoyao abducted her good sister Lishujing;

In this way, he got four monsters empty-handed, and there are ten monsters in the recipe. He only needs to work harder and collect two, and he can complete the first main task of the recipe.

"Master, I have two sisters on the way. I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn't call them. But I have already left a letter for them."

Not to be outdone, Chacha glanced at everyone, he is the most caring little fairy of the master.

"It doesn't count if you don't come. Then I said that I have ten friends on the way." Feng Qi was very proud at first, but after hearing what Chacha said, she felt a little unwilling to be outdone.

"Then call me." Chacha choked Feng Qi.

"Huh, I'll call sooner or later." Feng Qi was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with Chacha. Tonight's chicken soup with morel mushrooms was so ecstasy that he smacked his mouth, feeling hungry again .

If the brothers and sisters in his family knew that he was eating hot and spicy food outside, maybe they would come overnight, and they couldn't grab them at home, and he didn't want to recruit them.

"Master, this is a fur coat made of the hair I used up, and I gave it to the master to keep out the cold." The coachman took out a gray fur coat from the package and shook it deliberately in the air.

This behavior seriously blinded the eyes of many monsters.

Good guy, this gray wolf spirit is really shameless. He actually made clothes from unwanted hair and gave it to his master.It's the owner's fault.

Everyone spurned the Gray Wolf Spirit's behavior with contempt.

Look, the master doesn't want this kind of thing.

An authentic wild wolf fur coat, which is much warmer than a cotton coat.

The winter here is very cold. If Chi Ming hadn't added thin white duck feathers to his cotton-padded clothes, he wouldn't have been able to stand the cold and wet weather.

"Thank you, I like this gift very much." Chi Ming happily took over the gray fur coat, and immediately took off the cotton coat on his body and put it on.

Don't say it, it looks ugly, it's warm.

He sighed comfortably, and found that all the monsters looked at him in shock and without words.

"Damn, if I knew it earlier, I would have collected those fox furs that fell off. Now that I think about it, it looks better than gray when I think about it." The little fox held his chin, a little annoyed, why didn't he think of it.

"That's right, although I don't shed much hair, a vest made of golden hair looks better than this kind of gray hair." Hu Batian also showed deep thought all the way.

The other people who had no hair on their bodies had different expressions. After thinking that they had no hair to shed, they could only sigh inwardly.

"Master, these are the fruits I have grown over the years, and I will give them to you." The pear tree spirit looks small, but it is the weirdest, with a pair of deep pear dimples when it smiles.

"Thank you." Chi Ming felt as if he had won 100 million, and the corners of his mouth had never closed.

"Master, I have mine too. I'll give you these Polygonum multiflorum. Ordinary people can turn their white hair to black after eating a small piece." Very reluctantly, but now, he is 1 willing to stay.

"I have it too, I have it too. This is a new variety of mushroom that I have cultivated over the years. It is delicious and nutritious. Master, I will give it to you." The little mushroom spirit also followed suit, pushing a bunch of fresh mushrooms to the pool Ming's face.

Happiness came too suddenly. In order to express his love for the monsters, Chi Ming hurriedly went to the market to make big purchases.

Xuan Shu was about to get into the carriage, when he looked up, he saw a gray man coming out from the side, he frowned instinctively, and saw the gray-haired owner.

How poor is he, so poor that he wears clothes made of the fur of this kind of mixed fur demon?

Xuanshu's eyebrows frowned even deeper without his knowing.

He waved to Curly a little irritably: "Go get the ferret coat in my room."

"Hey?" Curly looked at his master, it's not cold today, why did the master remember to wear that fur coat.

Even so, Curly quickly took the things back.

"Give it to him." Xuanshu pointed to the direction where Chi Ming was standing, and got into the carriage.

to whom?

Pool manager?

Curly has question marks in his mind.

He groaned, and still sent the things to Chi Ming.

"My master asked me to give it to you."

It was only then that Curly noticed the gray fur on Shopkeeper Chi's body, it was ugly, no wonder the owner couldn't stand it.

"For me?"

Chi Ming's gaze fell on the pure white fur without a trace of impurities in Curly's hand.

"It's for you." Curly stuffed the clothes into Chi Ming's hand, turned around and walked back.

He really couldn't understand his master more and more.

The fur is soft, the tentacles are smooth and shiny, it is a fine mink fur coat.

This formed a huge visual contrast with the one he was wearing.

So, does that person think that this item on him is in poor condition?

But it's not good for him to take things from others if he doesn't get paid for nothing.

Chi Ming paused, but chose to walk towards the place where the carriage was parked.

The author has something to say:

After writing this story, I had a dream about living in a six-story house.

One day when I came back, I met a monster who was drying my fur coat. She asked me why I didn’t do it, and I said I didn’t.

She said, look, everyone is drying themselves, taking advantage of the sun.

Then when I looked up, I saw that the six floors were full of fur coats of all kinds...

The smell of mixed animals woke me up, hahaha
