Tiexian heirs in the city

On the fifteenth day of the registered disciple test, Qiao Bai appeared in Qiuse City.

Withered Leaf City was Qiao Bai's last stop in search of delicious food. Before that, he had been to seven towns and twelve villages under Withered Leaf City.

After getting the cooking method of 'Stewed Fish', Qiao Bai got the cooking methods of several more dishes, two of which can also be used as backups, but they are still far from the ideal delicacy in his mind.

Qiuser City will be Qiao Bai's last stop. If he hasn't found the ideal delicacy here, Qiao Bai is ready to return to Qingfeng City. After all, he needs a little time to go back to the city. He also needs to add some of his own creativity to the three dishes that can complete the task, so as to make these three dishes more perfect. This also takes time.

Although Qiuse City is poorer than Qingfeng City, it is still a city after all, and its prosperity is not comparable to those villages and towns that Qiao Bai went to before.

The streets of Qiuse City are also very lively, with various voices of hawking, and the smell of some snacks is also mixed in.

"Brother, would you like one?"

Seeing Qiao Bai standing in front of the stall, the stall owner asked enthusiastically.

"Fish stew."

This is a kind of snack that Qiao Bai has never seen before, and he only knew it by looking at the sign in front of the booth.

"That's right, stewed noodle fish, it seems that my brother has never eaten it before, do you want to try it?"

Inside the frying pan in front of the stall owner, some food that is sharp at both ends and fat in the middle, white and tender, is being copied. Although it doesn't look like fish, the smell of fish is wafting from the pan.

"This braised noodle fish is a snack made of fish meat and noodles. Because there are no fish bones in it, it is very suitable for diners who like to eat fish but are afraid of fish bones. Because the noodle fish is made of fish with many bones, the soup is very delicious. Crucian carp Therefore, the most suitable way to eat it is stew, which is called fresh and smooth!"

No matter how the stewed noodle fish tastes, the stall owner has such a good eloquence that he swallowed his mouth watering.

"Okay! Have one."

Qiao Bai walked to the bench behind the booth and sat down, a bowl of stewed noodle fish soon appeared on the table.

The milky white soup, the white noodle fish, and the clear white shallots floating on the soup, look good and smell delicious.

After tasting a smooth noodle fish and taking another sip of fish soup, Qiao Bai gave the stewed noodle fish a five-point dish.

"Staller, tell me how to make this noodle fish, it is yours."

As in the old days, Qiao Bai used silver to buy cooking methods when he encountered a dish he was interested in.

Seeing the stall owner's hesitation, Qiao Bai said again: "I'm just a little interested in your stewed noodle fish, and I won't make the same snack to grab your business, so you can rest assured!"

"It doesn't look like you are dressed, but..."

"Do you still think I will steal your business?"

Before the stall owner finished speaking, Qiao Bai directly let the voice appear in his head.

Although Qiuse City is barren, it is also a city of immortals, so although the stall owner was surprised, he did not cry out.

"Don't beg me, just talk to me like you would a normal diner."

Seeing that the stall was set up, Qiao Bai transmitted his voice again. His cultivation base is not high, and he is more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but in the city of immortal cultivators, he still needs to keep a low profile.

"Since it's what the Great Immortal wants, then I'll tell the Great Immortal."

The stall owner lowered his voice, and told Qiao Bai how to make braised noodle fish.

During the period, Qiao Bai asked some things that the stall owner didn't understand clearly. By the time the stall owner finished speaking, the braised noodle fish had already come to life in his mind.

Just as a cooking experience and inspiration, Qiao Bai didn't try to cook on the spot. He gave the stall owner an extra piece of silver, and went to the next stall while thanking the stall owner.

"Guest officer, come and taste it! My stewed rabbit meat is delicious!"

The second stall sells lo mei, besides rabbits, there are other wild game.

Since the second stall was relatively close to the first stall, the owner of the second stall had seen Qiao Bai give a piece of silver to the previous stall owner, so he also wanted to do Qiao Bai's business.

"No." Qiao Bai shook his head.

"Guest officer, if you don't want to eat stewed rabbit meat, it's not bad to try this stewed partridge!"

The stall owner hurriedly recruited again, but this time Qiao Bai didn't even answer and walked away.

Stewed pork also has a scent, which is not bad for ordinary people, but for Qiao Bai, he already knows from this level of taste that there is not much work in this stewed pork, and he has seen similar things in this period of time There are quite a few, and there is no need to stop and waste time.

Walking along the way, Qiao Bai saw two more food stalls. One of these two food stalls sold crispy chicken, and the other sold fried river seafood. Stay for this.

Qiao Bai stopped in front of the fourth food stall. It was a snack he had never seen before, and it was called 'Preserved Duck'.

The slightly sweet fruity flavor, with the aroma of duck meat, makes Qiao Bai want to have a taste.

After tasting a few slices of preserved fruit and some duck meat, Qiao Bai gave 'Duck with Preserved Fruit' a five-point dish.

A five-cent dish is already pretty good among snacks. After he gave the stall owner a coin, he learned how to make 'preserved duck'.

Going forward, Qiao Bai saw two more kinds of snacks, one is a vegetable box, and the other is mountain mushroom soup, just like the previous crispy chicken and fried river fish, they are the kind of snacks that don't require much effort, Qiao Bai also Just didn't do much to stay.

The long street was about to come to an end, Qiao Bai was attracted by the scent of the last food stall in front of him, that kind of fresh scent, like the scent of lotus root, but with the not greasy smell of meat in it, The number of diners on the booth is relatively large.

"It seems that this should be a snack that exceeds five points. If it is a snack that exceeds five points, plus my creativity, then it may score seven points!"

Qiao Bai has already made up his mind, if the snacks in front of him can finally reach seven points, he will start the return journey after learning.

The snack in front is a kind of snack baked in the oven. It looks like a sweet potato in appearance and size, but in fact it is a food that Qiao Bai has never touched before. It is called 'Dry Lotus Root'.

Dry lotus root is a kind of food that grows in the dry land. Its shape is somewhat similar to lotus root, and the inside has holes like lotus root. It is filled with meat stuffing for roasting.

Qiao Bai ordered a piece of roasted dry lotus root, biting it down, the juice was overflowing and the lotus root was fragrant.

However, after tasting the roasted dry lotus root, Qiao Bai gave this snack, which he thought to be more than five points, a position of only five points, and even after his creativity, it can only look like six points. disappointment.

There will be such an accident. It's not that the roasted lotus root is not delicious, but in Qiao Bai's mind, the roasted lotus root is not the best way to eat the dry lotus root. It should be better, but it shouldn't It is baked! After all, although Qiao Bai doesn't know how to judge the grade of ingredients, he still knows whether the ingredients are good or bad. He listed the ingredient of dry lotus root as the same level as black dragon scorpion and Qiyu. His taste experience is much worse than that of 'Charcoal Grilled Black Dragon Scorpion' and 'Stewed Fish'.

In the end, Qiao Bai still gave the stall owner money, asked for the cooking method of roasted lotus root, and bought some dry lotus root from the stall owner.

There are no more snacks on the street, and Qiao Bai's third dish has not yet arrived. Just as he was about to ask the owner of the roasted lotus root stall, who else in Qiuse City can make delicious food, a mother and son behind him The conversation caught his attention.

"Mom, Bao'er wants to eat roasted lotus root."

A child shakes a peasant woman's arm.

"Forget it, Mother didn't bring much money with her on the street today, so this time I won't eat roasted dry lotus root, okay?"

The peasant woman glanced at the stall of roasted lotus root, her eyes were somewhat embarrassed, but from the perspective of snacks, roasted lotus root is indeed a relatively expensive snack, and the money used to buy a roasted lotus root can be used by ordinary farmers. Two or three days.

The child didn't say anything, but just looked at the roasted lotus root booth reluctantly.

"Let's go, don't eat roasted lotus root today, mother will cook other delicious food for Bao'er when I go home!"

The farmer's words revived the child, and he hurriedly asked, "What delicious food will Mother give Bao'er?"

"Mother made egg dumplings for Bao'er!" the peasant woman laughed.

"Okay, there are egg dumplings to eat!"

The child immediately became happy, as excited as it was during the Chinese New Year.

The peasant woman had already left with the children, and Qiao Bai also started to follow behind.

Qiao Bai had never eaten egg dumplings, but the conversation between the farmer and the child made him want to see what kind of food egg dumplings were grown and why they made the child so happy. Moreover, Qiao Bai still had a feeling that his third dish was egg dumplings! This feeling is different from the feeling before seeing the roasted dry lotus root. That feeling is exactly hope, and this feeling is a real feeling.

Following the peasant woman back home, Qiao Bai used the invisibility technique all the time to watch the peasant woman make the egg dumplings.

For Qiao Bai, he never had such a childhood, and his childhood was all about preparing for his future cultivation. Even Qiao Bai himself felt that the reason why he had a soft spot for food after he had made some achievements in cultivation was because when he was supposed to enjoy some things in his childhood, he never enjoyed them at all. Just like a peasant woman playing with her son, like a child acting like a baby to a peasant woman, the daily life of these peasant women hardly existed in Qiao Bai's childhood.

The egg dumplings were ready, and the peasant woman's family ate deliciously, laughing and laughing constantly.

Qiao Bai has already left, with a satisfied smile. Although the egg dumplings made by the peasant woman are so-so, he has already set the third course to complete the test as egg dumplings. He wants to make egg dumplings with his heart. He misses him The egg dumplings made will definitely be qualified.

Qiao Bai returned to Qingfeng City on the twenty-eighth day of the test of registered disciples.

The business of Jixiang Xiaozhu is still booming during this period, and it is widely spread that Gu Zheng sees a doctor every few days. The patients he sees are not only the residents of the city, but some of them are residents of the villages and towns under Qingfeng City. , I believe that with the accumulation of time, some patients in Lincheng will also come to see a doctor.

Qiao Bai has already entered the Jixiang Xiaozhu, and has already met Gu Zheng. This time he came alone, and he has not notified the sect yet.

"Have you learned the three dishes that satisfy me?" Gu Zheng looked at Qiao Bai and said indifferently.

"Returning to the senior, I have already learned it." Qiao Bai said.

"How likely is it to pass the test?" Gu Zheng asked.

"I feel like I'll be able to pass the test." Qiao Bai was very confident.

"Go to the kitchen and show off your cooking skills! If you need any ingredients, you can talk to Xiong San." Gu Zheng said.

Qiao Bai saluted Gu Zheng again, and followed Xiong San to the kitchen.

In the kitchen of Jixiang Xiaozhu, Qiao Bai was very excited. This was a place he had visited countless times in his dreams, and now he finally entered here, looking at those pots and pans felt very cordial.

"Are there any ingredients you need?" Xiong San asked.

"No, I have all the ingredients I need!" Qiao Bai said.

"Okay, let's start your test!" Xiong San smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Xiong, are you happy that I am going to be a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu? If I become a member of Jixiang Xiaozhu, then I will call you senior brother from now on!" Qiao Bai said excitedly .

Xiong San was no stranger to Qiao Bai, he patted Qiao Bai on the shoulder: "Boy, wait until you pass the test."

In the front hall of Jixiang Xiaozhu, there are only Lingzhu and Jinyan in the hall, Master Yunqing is practicing in the room, and Gu Zheng is back in the room to refine the inner alchemy.

"I'm really looking forward to it, and I don't know what the three dishes Qiao Baige will use for the test." Jin Yan said.

"I'm also looking forward to it, but according to Mr.'s intentions, he will definitely pass the test." Lingzhu said.

"That's why I look forward to it even more!" Jin Yan said again.

After refining an inner alchemy, Gu Zheng practiced for a while, and felt that when Xiong San and Qiao Bai started to leave the back kitchen, he also started to go downstairs.

The three dishes were already on the table, and Gu Zheng was seated.

"Qiao Bai, since you don't have any basic diet, I will give you a score for your three dishes based on your actual situation. The score is divided into three aspects: color, aroma, and taste. The full score is 10, and 5 is a pass. .The color, aroma and taste of the three dishes are all above five points to pass the test, if any item of one dish is below five points, your test is considered to be a failure, understand?" Gu Zheng said seriously.

"Senior, junior understand!" Qiao Bai said.

If ordinary people listen to it, they will think that the rules of Gu Zheng are very strict, but they are not.

For the way of diet, color and aroma are two items that are easy to score, while taste is relatively difficult to score, but it is also the most important, it is the real soul of deliciousness. If the taste of a dish can get five points, then the color and aroma will definitely pass. Moreover, out of 10, 5 points is considered to be in the middle, and 5 points is regarded as a pass. This is really not very strict. Of course, passing five points is not strict, but it is not easy either. After all, Gu Zheng was the one who scored. Even if he scored based on Qiao Bai's actual situation, the actual value of five points would be very high.

Like ordinary diners, Gu Zheng lifted the lid on the first course.

There is a fragrance that permeates with the opening of the lid, but it is still far from the ultimate fragrance.

The first dish that Gu Zheng opened was Qiao Bai's 'Charcoal Roasted Black Dragon Scorpion'.

I saw that five palm-length black dragons and scorpions were neatly stacked on the plate, and the red shell burst evenly. It looked like a flower blooming on the black dragon and scorpion. Through the place where the flowers bloomed, you can see the white and tight Scorpion meat.

"The main ingredient is black dragon scorpion, a medium-level ingredient."

Gu Zheng glanced at it and said something.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath towards the black dragon and scorpion, Gu Zheng said again: "This black dragon and scorpion is baked on charcoal fire, and the charcoal fire used is desert jujube fruit wood. Before roasting, the black dragon and scorpion is marinated in Shaye wine for three minutes. Ningqing Ye, Pearl Flower. The barbecue oil used in the roasting process is the heart-protecting oil of desert snakes. During the cooking process, three spices, Tianqi, Limeberry and Dita, were added. Use the fire control formula to fuel the fire, and use the water control formula to lock the water."

Qiao Bai's eyes widened. He knew that Gu Zheng was powerful, but he didn't expect that Gu Zheng would say exactly what he said just after reading it.

"Senior, junior admire!"

Qiao Bai originally planned to tell Gu Zheng about his ideas, but now he is not interested at all. He feels that his ideas are really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Gu Zheng.

"The black dragon scorpion is a highly regional ingredient, and only a few deserts in the whole prehistoric region produce it. In the eyes of ordinary people, the black dragon scorpion is an inedible poison. However, the poison of the black dragon scorpion, after special treatment, becomes It is no longer poisonous, but a natural seasoning that can enhance freshness. However, this seasoning is only effective for black dragon scorpion meat and black dragon scorpion shell, but not for other foods. You will bring charcoal grilled The black dragon and scorpion is a partial dish, and it is cooked well, which is beyond my expectation."

After giving Qiao Bai a small compliment, Gu Zheng picked up a charcoal-grilled black dragon and scorpion with his chopsticks.

Unlike the first time Qiao Bai ate the charcoal-grilled black dragon and scorpion, he wanted to peel off the shell, Gu Zheng ate it directly.

A crisp sound sounded, and Gu Zheng began to chew the food in his mouth.

Similarly, Gu Zheng was not like Qiao Bai. The first time he ate a charcoal-grilled black dragon scorpion, he only ate a scorpion claw. Because he felt the food was dirty, he no longer wanted to eat it, so he almost missed the charcoal-grilled black dragon scorpion. The place with the best taste is the huge tail of the black dragon and scorpion.

The first thing Gu Zheng ate was the tail of the charcoal-grilled black dragon and scorpion, and the second was the scorpion claws. The whole mouth will be surrounded by a subtle aroma, so that when you taste the scorpion meat next, you will feel more delicious.

Gu Zheng put down his chopsticks after eating only the two charcoal-grilled black dragon and scorpion essences, the tail of the scorpion and the tongs of the scorpion.

"Charcoal grilled black dragon and scorpion, five points for color, six points for aroma, and six points for taste."

Gu Zheng rated the charcoal-grilled black dragon and scorpion, and when he said 'five points for color', Qiao Bai's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

Hue, who thought he had the best score, only got five points, and Wei, who was more difficult to score, got six points instead. This really made Qiao Bai's mood fluctuate instantly.

"The shell of the black dragon scorpion is another delicacy not inferior to the scorpion meat. It will change color when grilled, first from black to red, and then from red to black! Black as precious jade, this is the charcoal grilled black dragon scorpion The most correct color! However, reading this is a very unorthodox ingredient. Do you have any foundation in diet, so I gave you a barely qualified five points. If it is Xiong San and Lingzhu, even if It is also the first time for them to cook black dragon and scorpion, but if they fail to find out that the red color is not perfect through the subtle changes in the scorpion shell during the cooking process, then their score will be lower than three points, and this is the difference required of you."

Gu Zheng's words startled Qiao Bai, and made Lingzhu and Xiong San break out in sweat. At least they didn't find any clues from the scorpion shell when they watched the finished product of Qiao Baitan roasting the black dragon and scorpion.
