Tiexian heirs in the city

"Three Immortals Jiang, it turned out to be Three Immortals Jiang!"

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I could still see the Three Immortals in my lifetime!"

"It's so lucky, you can only see the Three Immortals being made, and as one of the judges, I'm about to taste the Three Immortals!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo Jin, you are so annoying, do all the elders in your sect know? Is this really good?"

Knowing that the dishes that Gu Zheng and Song Xiu were going to compare were the Three Immortals in Sauce, the onlookers were a little overjoyed.

The dish of Jiang Sanxian is very famous in the cultivation world, but Gu Zheng has never made it. He also had the idea of ​​making Jiang Sanxian once, but he has not been able to achieve his wish because of the lack of ingredients. .

The three immortals in sauce are placed in the secular world. To put it bluntly, they are a dish of sauced pork consisting of sauced pork, sauced elbow, and sauced trotters. But in the cultivation world, apart from its more elegant name, the ingredients it uses are also extremely extraordinary.

The ingredients used by Jiang Sanxian are all from a high-level spirit beast called 'Xianyun Pig'. The attack method of this spirit beast is to release a kind of smoke that seriously obstructs people's vision. , is not too easy.

Of course there is no 'Xianyun Pig' in the real world, but there are both Shu Ruins and Kunlun Ruins. After Gu Zheng entered Shu Ruins, he not only fantasized about encountering 'Xianyun Pig', but also wondered about the whereabouts of 'Xianyun Pig'. , I asked the guide long-mouthed dog in the Shu Ruins, but I still didn't meet it in the end.

"If I had known that the dish he was going to cook was Sanxian Jiang, I would have asked him to add some 'Xianyun Pork' to the bet." Gu Zhengxin said.

"Are you sure?" Qi Ling asked.

"Although I have never cooked the Three Immortals of Sauce, I am the descendant of Tiexian. Based on my understanding of the ingredients, it is not a problem at all to win this dish." Gu Zheng said confidently.

After announcing the dishes to be tested, the people from the Kunlun faction also started preparations. It didn't take long for the stove and other things to be placed in the open space next to Longzhan Square.

"Master Gu, check the kitchen utensils and ingredients. If there are no problems, we can start." Song Xiu said.

"no problem."

Needless to say, Song Xiu, Qi Ling had already checked for Gu Zheng, so Gu Zheng answered very simply.

"Okay, since there is no problem, we can start now. Although we didn't say the cooking time in advance, if one person's cooking is too late than the other person's cooking, the person who is late will still be judged to lose." Drop! Do you have anything to say about Sect Master Gu?" Song Xiu asked.

"There is nothing to say about this point, but the same food is made with the same ingredients, and the choice of accessories can only be those on the chopping board, right?" Gu Zheng asked.

"That's right." Song Xiu nodded.

"I see that there are a lot of auxiliary materials on the chopping board. There are no requirements for the use of these auxiliary materials, right? There are some differences in the production methods, right?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"Auxiliary ingredients are just for auxiliary purposes. If you think it's useless, you don't have to. As for the production method, as long as the ingredients used are those on the chopping board, and the dishes you make are the three immortals in sauce, that's fine." Song Xiu couldn't help it. said patiently.

"Okay, let's start!"

Gu Zheng smiled, and the two stood behind a chopping board.

The ingredients for making the three sauces are the same, which are a few pieces of Xianyun pork with skin, two Xianyun pork knuckles, and four Xianyun pig's trotters. As for the accessories, all kinds of spices are also available.

The ingredient level of Xianyun pork is medium, but the ingredient level of various spices is a bit uneven. Although it is said that there is no poison and garbage, there are also low-grade ones. This is why Gu Zheng just asked Song Xiu if there are any requirements for the use of spices and accessories! Since Song Xiu said that there is no requirement, Gu Zheng will discard any ingredients that are lower than the second-class level and are not necessary for making Jiang Sanxian.

Under normal circumstances, when paired with Xianyun pork, a rare medium ingredient, the minimum standard of auxiliary ingredients, Gu Zheng will require it to be of ordinary level. But now it is different, now it is a competition with others, such as cooking sauce three immortals, the indispensable sweet noodle sauce and rock sugar, their ingredients are only second-class! Under normal circumstances, Guzheng would never allow them to lower the taste of Xianyun pork, but today the comparison is "Sanxian Jiang". If there is no sweet noodle sauce and rock sugar, what is made is not Sanxian Jiang, it can only be regarded as stew meat.

The traditional practice of “Sanxian Sauce” involves grilling all three main ingredients with skins on fire, then soaking them in cold water for a period of time, and then blanching them again, brushing Xianyun pig’s trotters with seasoning sauce and steaming in a cage Xianyun pork is deep-fried once, while Xianyun pork knuckle is stewed directly. When the Xianyun pork knuckle is cooked properly, put the steamed Xianyun trotters and fried Xianyun pork together and cook them out of the pot.

The main ingredients provided by Song Xiu have only been roughly processed, so before cooking them, they need to be finely processed again.

I saw that Song Xiu and Gu Zheng both put the meat on the ignited charcoal fire to burn and remove the hair. For a while, the sound of "Zi Zi la la" could be heard endlessly.

After completely burning off the remaining fine hairs on the main ingredients, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu put the main ingredients into cold water.

There wasn't that much time to soak, so the two who put the main ingredients into the cold water used their own methods, and the originally clear cold water in the basin instantly turned blood red.

After initially removing the blood, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu put the main ingredients into a pot to blanch to further remove the blood. After doing all this, the next thing to do is to separate the ingredients.

Song Xiu's way of handling the ingredients separately looks very traditional, but Gu Zheng's is a little different. He first puts the Xianyun pork knuckle in the pot with prepared water and boils it, and then deep-fries the pork knuckle that should have been fried. The Xianyun pork was grilled on the fire.

Xianyun pork is pork belly. Whether it is traditional deep-fried or roasted in ancient times, the basic purpose is to remove the oil from Xianyun pork.

It's just that when Gu Zheng was baking, he used the water control method to condense all the excess fat together, and at the right time, he collected all the dripping Xianyun lard in a small bowl.

"smell good!"

"Fortunately, it's Xianyun pork. Just a simple roast can emit such an appetizing aroma that it makes me hungry."

"I'm curious, what does Master Gu want all that oil for?"

In the traditional Sauce Three Immortals, the pork belly has to be deep-fried. Gu Zheng didn't know if it was because Song Xiu didn't prepare well in a hurry, or because of other reasons, the oil he provided was not the high-quality lard of Xianyun pig. , but a kind of rapeseed oil whose grade is only inferior, which is why Gu Zheng changed frying to roasting. As for the oil from the Xianyun pig, Gu Zheng wanted to make the pig's trotters in Jiang Sanxian more layered. He wanted to fry the pig's trotters with oil before steaming them.

The Xianyun pork has been roasted, and Gu Zheng put some of the lard he received into the pot. After the oil was hot, he colored the pig's trotters and put it in the pot for frying.

The aroma wafts out of the pot, and Gu Zheng will fry until golden on both sides, and the bubbling pig's trotters will come out.

Gu Zheng had already preliminarily processed the three main ingredients separately. He glanced at Song Xiu who was at the side, and saw that Song Xiu had just completed the steps of separate processing.

"I have to say that he has improved this time compared to during the food competition. The processing speed of the ingredients alone is much faster than that time." Gu Zhengxin said.

"Just from these details, I don't see that he has any confidence in winning. After all, he has used all the auxiliary materials that should be used and should not be used! From this point alone, what he made Jiang Sanxian, the taste is worse than yours." Qi Ling said.

"I'm also a little curious. I chose two of the three judges, and they both have sworn the oath of the heart demon, so there shouldn't be any problems. So what is Song Xiu's reason for betting on me?" What?" Gu Zheng murmured in his heart.

"Master Gu, don't just look at me, be careful that the food you cook will be mushy." Song Xiu snorted coldly at Gu Zheng.

"Don't worry, it won't be blurred."

Gu Zheng smiled, and continued to use the fire control formula to fuel the fire, which made the fire even more intense.

Song Xiu didn't say anything else, he also controlled the fire with his inner strength, and even from the outside, his fire was stronger than Gu Zheng's.

Both Gu Zheng and Song Xiu are not ordinary chefs. They take much faster time to cook a dish than ordinary people. It doesn't take long. The ingredients that they handle separately have been prepared, and they will be stewed together when the time comes. Time to cook.

In the dish of Three Immortals with Sauce, one of the most important flavors is 'sauce', and the time used for this sauce is when the three ingredients are put together.

Put the sweet noodle sauce into the oil to make fried sauce. Song Xiu and Gu Zheng did this very quickly. Then pour the sauce into the soup pot where Xianyun pork knuckle was cooked before, put in the other two ingredients, and change it to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer.

He didn't find anything unusual about Song Xiu before, so Gu Zheng paid special attention to Song Xiu's actions in this almost last step of the Three Immortals. I saw that Song Xiu seemed to be inadvertent, but flicked a little bit of black powder into the soup pot.

"It's disgusting!"

Qi Ling, who had also been paying attention to Song Xiu, couldn't help scolding.

"When his younger brother lost to you before, he secretly used flavor-enhancing flowers to enhance the freshness of the dishes. Now, as his elder brother, he said before the game that no auxiliary ingredients should be added in it, but who would have thought that he would do it again? Used auxiliary materials!" Qi Ling said contemptuously.

"What kind of auxiliary materials did Song Xiu use? It doesn't look like flavor-enhancing flowers!" Gu Zheng thought.

"Although he didn't use flavor-enhancing flowers, they have similar effects to flavor-enhancing flowers. In sauce jars that are more than a hundred years old, there will be a very disgusting bug. The whole body of this bug is black, and the name is 'Jiang Jing'. Although the soy sauce looks disgusting, it is actually made from the essence of the sauce. They are dried by special means, ground into powder and put into sauce-flavored dishes, which can double the aroma of the sauce." Qi Linghen Hate Road.

"Xianyun pork itself is very delicious, even if it is cooked in general, it can make people's lips and teeth fragrant!"

"Song Xiu's cooking skills are already good. For such a dish, for the non-professional judges, my better cooking skills than Song Xiu's won't give me much advantage."

"Up to now, Song Xiu has actually used something that can enhance the flavor of the sauce. If the flavor of the sauce is raised by this kind of thing, it is estimated that the difference in the taste of the meat is not too obvious, and it will be directly judged by the non-professional judges. Ignore it! After all, the extraordinary fragrance of the sauce can almost make a small difference, and the shocking seven meats and eight vegetables."

Gu Zheng analyzed calmly, but he still couldn't think of a way to solve it, and Song Xiu, who thought that the overall situation was settled, looked at Gu Zheng with a leisurely smile.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, there are pros and cons to everything, 'soy sauce essence', in the eyes of Lord Tiexian, can be regarded as a low-level means of freshness, it is not as good as a flavor-enhancing flower that is only used to increase the umami! In addition to the disgusting things made by it, there is another reason that it cannot stand the test!"

Qi Ling's triumphant voice made Gu Zheng's eyes shine: "So, you have a way to break this situation?"

"Of course there is a way to break the game, but since he is using despicable means, this game cannot be easily broken. Let him fully enjoy the feeling of falling from a high altitude! After all, you want to win him with your ability, which I value very much. I don't allow him to play tricks secretly when you want to be fair!" Qi Ling said bitterly.

Gu Zheng and Song Xiu's Jiang Sanxian came out one after another, and the time between them was not too long, so there was no problem.

"Master Gu, according to the order of cooking, your Three Immortal Sauce is already a little cold, should you let the judges taste it first?"

Song Xiu's seemingly considerate statement made Gu Zheng even more disgusted.

First of all, Gu Zheng knew that the weather in Kunlun was very cold. Although Jiang Sanxian was out of the pot, he would not be so stupid as to put it on the chopping board and wait for it to cool.

Secondly, Gu Zheng's Sanxian Jiang seemed to be placed in a pot that had been removed from the fire, but the temperature in the pot was controlled by his immortal power, which was enough to keep Sanxian Jiang at a warm level.

Moreover, tasting delicious food does not mean that being tasted first will take advantage of it. It is easier to forget the taste if it is tasted first, especially when there is not much difference in taste between successive foods.

Looking at Gu Zheng with frowned eyebrows, Song Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Master Gu thinks you are at a disadvantage with my proposal, you can let the judges taste your food and give you a score first."

"It's really a good plan. In such a game, even if the score is scored first, it will still have an impact? After all, the judges are still thinking about the next dish, so they will inevitably have reservations about the score. After all Everyone is not a professional judge." Gu Zheng sneered.

"Master Gu, you are really fussy, why didn't I find out before?" Song Xiu paused, and said indifferently: "I was thinking of you, but you are so ungrateful, so I will come first, Anyway, real gold is not afraid of fire."

"What a real gold is not afraid of fire, I want to see what tricks you can play, I will come first!"

Gu Zheng smiled, and brought out the three immortal sauces that were still steaming from the pot, and the sound of swallowing saliva was heard all around. In fact, this kind of voice almost never stopped during Gu Zheng and Song Xiu's cooking! Not to mention that these cultivators are worthless, after all, this is a delicacy cooked by experts from middle-level ingredients. Although it has not reached the realm of extreme fragrance, its charming fragrance still makes people unable to help but have a normal reaction .

"Which of you three will come first?" Gu Zheng looked at the three judges.

"I'll come first!"

The three judges spoke almost at the same time, but among them, the nun who had donated blood had the loudest voice.

"Okay, it's up to you to come first!"

Gu Zheng smiled and handed out the chopsticks, and the female cultivator couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Xianyun pork knuckle that had been cut, and put it in her mouth.
