I rely on food to dominate the two worlds

Hearing this, Tang Shaoyan just smiled faintly. He is very confident in the dishes he prepared. After all, no one in the cultivation world has ever done this before. People who are used to eating light meals can hardly resist such rich and delicious dishes. The dishes, so shopkeeper Li's reaction was completely within his expectation.

It is time-consuming to cook pork knuckles in soy sauce, and it takes about two hours to simmer until they become crispy enough, so he took advantage of this time to make another stew with fish-flavored shrimp balls and eggplant and vegetarian Erdong, consuming all his spiritual power clean up.

Yuxiang Shrimp Ball Eggplant Casserole is made of eggplant and shrimp paste, and the taste is better than fish-flavored eggplant.The eggplant melts in the mouth, and the fish-flavored sauce is sweet and sour with some spicy taste. It is delicious enough when paired with the soft and rotten eggplant, but with the soft and smooth taste of delicious shrimp balls, the contrast between soft and hard, It makes the texture and taste richer and more addictive.

Let’s talk about the Sukiyaki Erdong, which takes its name from the two main ingredients of this dish, mushrooms and bamboo shoots.The winter bamboo shoots are crispy and refreshing, while the mushrooms are tender, sweet, and full of aroma. Tang Shaoyan combined the two skillfully by first blanching and then frying. The soy sauce dyed the snow-white winter bamboo shoots into a beautiful brown-red color. After adding some gravy, The juice becomes thicker, covering the sliced ​​bamboo shoots and mushrooms, adding a sense of crystal clearness to this dish.

After Tang Qian and Tang Liujing tasted the fish-flavored shrimp ball and eggplant stew, they came to taste the vegetarian Erdong. They thought that the taste of this vegan dish would be weak in comparison, but they did not expect that the bamboo shoots and mushrooms had completely absorbed the rich and delicious sauce. Juice, so that its taste becomes mellow and fragrant.

Both of them can't wait to get a bowl of rice right away, just eat these two dishes to their heart's content.

At this moment, the last highlight of the day, the braised elbow in soy sauce, was finally ready to be cooked.

As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, a strong sweet fragrance burst out immediately.

Tang Shaoyan cut the elbow along the bone with a knife, and sliced ​​it into pieces for easy picking.The skin of the elbow is yellow and fat, the meat is firm and firm, and even the texture can be seen clearly. There is a little crystal gravy dotted in it, which looks extremely attractive.

Tang Qian picked up a piece of fatty skin with his chopsticks. When he put it in his mouth, he was worried whether it would be greasy, but the soft, glutinous and sweet taste surprised him.The pork skin is delicious and smooth, with a rich taste, fat but not greasy, lean meat is also stewed crispy, salty and fresh with a crispy fragrance, and a long aftertaste, which makes people unconsciously chew slowly to prolong the enjoyment time.

Tang Shaoyan also set aside some of the three dishes, and once again asked Tang Qian to deliver the rest to shopkeeper Li.

"Brother Qian, tell shopkeeper Li that my spiritual power is exhausted, and I will make the remaining five dishes tomorrow."

"Okay, Shaoyan, sit down and have a rest, Xiaojing, go and make a pot of chrysanthemum tea for Shaoyan."

"Okay." Tang Liujing agreed, and went to make tea for Tang Shaoyan.

As soon as the door of the side room opened, the three spirit servants in the kitchen next door heard the movement, immediately dropped what they were doing, and rushed out to watch the dishes in Tang Qian's hands.

The three dishes were all well-presented and full-bodied, and the three of them praised them again and again.

Tang Yu, the youngest among them, couldn't help asking, "Brother, can you let us have a taste of these dishes?"

Tang Qian hesitated for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Mr. Chen turning his head and looking in their direction, so he readily agreed and asked them to go inside to get the chopsticks quickly.

Tang Yu ran back to get the chopsticks, carefully picked up a small piece of elbow meat, and was moved to the point of tears by the crispy taste in his mouth, "My God, isn't this too delicious?"

Tang Lin and Tang Yuening also tasted the other two dishes, and their eyes were full of surprise and admiration.

Finally, Mr. Chen couldn't bear it any longer, and he came over and put a chopstick of elbow meat into his mouth. He froze for a moment, and then his eyes became hot when he looked at the three dishes on Tang Qian's tray.

"Where is Tang Shaoyan?"

"The deputy chef is resting in the wing."

Chen Lao threw his chopsticks and strode towards the back wing.

Tang Qian smiled slightly, and left with a tray in his hand, hiding his achievements and fame.He knew that Zhang Xun asked Chen Lao to exchange two three-grade decoctions with Tang Shaoyan's ten dishes, but he looked unwilling, as if he had suffered a great loss.In his opinion, Tang Shaoyan was the one who really suffered.Every dish Tang Shaoyan cooks is delicious, no one can resist the temptation of these dishes, and it will definitely impress the elders of Xuantianzong.Mr. Chen was able to have this opportunity to help Tang Shaoyan, and he made a lot of money.

He can be sure that as long as Mr. Chen is not a fool, after tasting the taste of these dishes, he will never let go of such a great opportunity.

Chen Lao pushed open the door of the wing room, and was immediately covered by the strong fragrance that hadn't dissipated.

Tang Shaoyan was lying on the bed, drinking the chrysanthemum tea that Tang Liujing made for him, when he saw Mr. Chen coming, he stood up and asked politely, "Mr. Chen, are you looking for me?"

Elder Chen looked at Tang Liujing and said, "I have something to say to the assistant chef, you should go out first."

Tang Liujing subconsciously glanced at Tang Shaoyan, and after seeing him nodding, she left the room.

Seeing the scene just now, old general Chen couldn't help being unhappy, but he had to temporarily suppress his unhappiness because he wanted something from Tang Shaoyan.

"Guan Zhang also looked for you before, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Lao didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point, "I tasted it just now, and your food is really good, and I don't want to take advantage of you for nothing. I'm willing to exchange two third-grade soups and medicines, but your cultivation level is the best. Too low to master the method of making this soup, I will write down the recipe and production principle of the soup and give it to you."

Tang Shaoyan was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will also write down the recipes for the dishes and give them to you."

"Hmm." Old Chen nodded slightly.

This kid is quite interesting.

"I don't know which two soups Mr. Chen plans to exchange with me?"

When Old Chen heard the words, his face tightened immediately, he thought for a while and said, "Let's just make blood-enriching soup and nourishing-qi soup."

Although he weighed the pros and cons and agreed to the exchange terms proposed by Zhang Xun, he was still reluctant to exchange his best soup and medicine prescriptions, and only chose the two most common ones.

Tang Shaoyan had already looked at the brands of soups and medicines hanging in restaurants, and knew that the prices of Buxue Decoction and Yiqi Decoction were the cheapest among all the soups and medicines, and they were not very precious after all.However, he was not disappointed. He felt that as long as he knew the tricks of making soup and medicine, it shouldn't be too difficult to infer other cases from one example in the future.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen." Tang Shaoyan readily agreed.

Seeing that he didn't raise any objections and clamored for other soups, Mr. Chen looked slightly relieved, "Then why not start today."

Mr. Chen had just tasted those two peerless delicacies, how could he be patient, he just wanted to learn these dishes quickly.

Tang Shaoyan couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Sorry, I've exhausted my spiritual power, so I can't make spiritual food for now."

Old Chen saw that he was indeed in a state of depression, and there was thin sweat on his forehead, so he knew that he was telling the truth.

"Then just wait a bit. It just so happens that one of my customers ordered blood-enriching soup, so I'll demonstrate it to you." Although Mr. Chen said that he was jealous and narrow-minded, he was still a decent person after all. , now that the terms of exchange have been negotiated, he will not cheat.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

Old Chen went to the warehouse and brought over the three medicinal materials needed to make blood-enriching soup. Tang Shaoyan recognized that one of them was the Chunxi grass he had processed.

"The blood-enriching soup needs to use blood maple grass, jade flower and Chunxi grass. You and I are both fire and wood dual spiritual roots, which echo the wood spirit in this medicinal material, so we can stimulate them to the greatest extent. Afterwards, chop these medicinal materials and put them into clay pots, add a liter of water, and boil them over high fire." Chen Lao said in a low voice, while processing the medicinal materials in his hands in an orderly manner.

Tang Shaoyan watched intently from the side, for fear of missing any details.

At this time, Mr. Chen took out a small wooden stick again. The wooden stick looked very smooth, and its color was darker than ordinary wood. After the Qi refining period, master the ability to release spiritual energy, and then you can use it freely. While stirring slowly with iron wood, inject a little spiritual power to guide out the purest essence of the medicinal materials."

It turns out that this is the key to making the decoction. No wonder Mr. Chen said that he still can't master the method of making the decoction. It turns out that it is indeed related to his cultivation level. It seems that he needs to work harder to improve his cultivation level.

With Mr. Chen's stirring, the decoction in the clay pot gradually turned into the dark red color Tang Shaoyan was familiar with, and he could smell the medicine gradually.

"When injecting spiritual power, you must control it more precisely. More or less will not work, but this speed can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words. You will practice on your own in the future, and you will be able to master it after you are proficient. You can start from the most basic first-grade decoction. , the prescriptions of these decoctions are not common, and they can be bought outside."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen, for your advice."

"Well, you continue to rest. After you recover, it will be you who will teach me."

"it is good."

Mr. Chen left with the soup and medicine. Tang Qian and Tang Liujing, who had been locked outside, walked in immediately, and asked with concern, "How is it? Mr. Chen didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, Mr. Chen was teaching me how to make soup just now." Tang Shaoyan touched his stomach and said, "Hurry up and get some rice, I'm hungry."

Eating the spiritual meal and refining the spiritual energy in it is the fastest way to restore spiritual power, so the three of them ate the dishes that Tang Shaoyan specially set aside before, and the five dishes were thick and delicious, just like this crystal clear The plump Biling rice, the soft, glutinous and sweet taste spreads infinitely in the mouth, it is extremely delicious.
