Chapter 7 Check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps
"There's something wrong with this Lingxi Five-Animal Soup!"
The soup is rich and fragrant, and the taste is close to perfect.
But...I always feel like something is wrong.
Regardless of the choice of materials, knife skills, ingredients, and heat, they are all the best. What is the problem?
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Zhang Wei opened a wider gap in the cooking pot and looked inside using the weak light of the kerosene lamp.
Take a few bites in succession and ponder it carefully in your mind.
"It's the ratio!"
Zhang Wei looked at Tang Zhihun aside with a shocked expression.
"How could a chef of this level make such a stupid mistake!"
A complex dish is not prepared strictly according to the recipe.
Not all ingredients are the same, such as the five kinds of rare birds used this time.
Males and females are different in weight, fat and thinness.
Vegetables also have differences in rainfall, land fertility, sunshine length, and picking time.
Thousands of people and thousands of faces.
There are also subtle differences between the same species.
"In four days, the soul of the soup seems to have never tasted the taste of the cooking pot."
"The person who looks so confident seems to have prepared this soup many times..."
"Are you being careless...or have you never paid attention to this aspect?"
"Not only the taste, but also all the seasonings are prepared in strict accordance with the dosage..."
The recipe says three grams of salt, so use a measuring cup to take three grams, just like doing a chemistry experiment.
In this way, you will always be just a layman.
Cooking skills should always be used flexibly!
"It's a pity that such top-notch ingredients cannot be transformed into perfect dishes! What a waste. These ingredients have souls and will cry, right?"
"This soup...maybe still helpful."
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei's restless chef instinct could no longer be suppressed.
I have traveled through time for more than two months, and I have yet to make a single dish.
It's like a smoker quitting smoking, a gambler chopping off his hands, or a netizen cutting off the Internet. When he thought that there was still room for manipulation in this soup, Zhang Wei couldn't control himself at all.
I rummaged through boxes and jars and tasted more than a hundred kinds of seasonings one by one.
"The red salt is somewhat similar to Himalayan rock salt..."
"This should taste like cane sugar..."
"Honey... I can't tell the variety, some kind of tree honey."
"Nutmeg, purple komong..."
"The fragrance of tangerine peel powder..."
"Ahem, cough, cough...Gan, that mustard is so spicy!"
…………
…
Except for the three flavors of salt, sugar, and vinegar, the other seasonings are very different from the previous life, or completely different.
Zhang Wei can only classify them according to their taste characteristics, and then calculate the effect after adding them.
"Damn it, you have to be familiar with hundreds of seasonings at the same time and have top-notch effects immediately. Six hours is not enough!"
With a sudden change of heart, Zhang Wei turned over and put all the seasonings into the collection hall!
The time flow rate inside and outside the temple is ten times faster, which is completely sufficient.
…………
…
Tang Zhihun woke up suddenly, picked up his pocket watch and looked at it.
"It's been six hours! Gan...it's okay, okay, there's no delay."
"This damn assistant chef almost delayed my business!"
Tang Zhihun walked towards the soup pot angrily. At this time, Zhang Wei had fallen to the ground, with blood streaks and bright red eyes!
At this time, the kitchen seemed to have been swept away, and all the bottles and cans had disappeared.
Tang Zhihun was completely shocked, avoiding Zhang Wei on the ground and rushing towards Lingxi Wuqin Tang.
"Huh~ It's okay, my soup is fine."
"Hey, other things were stolen, but my soup is fine?"
Although I was happy, I still felt like something was wrong.
While Tang Zhihun called for the guards, he completed the final step of closing the fire.
Finally, I remembered that there was Zhang Wei on the ground.
"You're still alive! You can still be saved!"
Not long after, an imposing and strong man walked into the house, and was greeted by numerous guards.
"I've met Lord Wu Yong!"
"what's the situation?"
Tang Zhihun said quickly: "When I woke up this morning, I found that the kitchen had been looted, and my assistant chef was also injured and I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
Wu Yong wondered: "Stealing inside the glacier?"
Ordinary people in the glacier can't come to the high-rise area at all, and many of the big guys in the high-rise area have status, so how can they commit theft?
Besides, the soup is boiled just for the enjoyment of the senior executives, so why steal it?
"Wait, is Tang okay?"
"Exactly."
Wu Yong was shocked. The most precious thing in the whole kitchen was the Lingxi Five-Animal Soup... How could it be okay?
Could it be that……
"Poison?"
Tang Zhihun howled miserably when he heard this, rushed to the stew pot, took out a spoonful of soup, and poured it into his mouth with a look of sorrow and anger.
Bah...
The spoon fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"Go and save people, induce vomiting! You guys, hurry up and call a doctor!"
Wu Yong secretly resented that the soup maker had a bad mind?
"Everyone, stop!"
Tang Zhihun stopped everyone, with an extremely troubled expression on his face.
Anger... hesitation... shame...
"My soup... is fine. Quickly bring it to the ministers who have returned from the expedition. I heard that some of them are seriously injured. This soup can help them recover."
"this……"
Tang Zhihun continued: "Master Wu, don't make this matter public. I will make up for the missing seasonings and ingredients, and you can just pretend that nothing happened."
Since Tang Zhihun said so, Wu Yong couldn't keep it public.
Even Zhang Wei, who had just woken up from a coma, was warned by Tang Zhihun and promised a lot of confidentiality fees.
The people in the medical office obviously didn't want to waste time on an ordinary worker, so they just prescribed some cheap medicines and sent Zhang Wei away.
glacier core area
The huge dining table is filled with sumptuous food, and more than a dozen of the actual rulers of the glacier are here.
And above everyone's heads is the food display window - the icicle of the century.
Ode, the weakest director of the Personnel Management Department, and Roger, the director of the Resource Distribution Department, sit at the end.
Minister of Security Wu Yong is in the front row.
On top of the eight ministers, there are four food inspectors, who are mainly responsible for leading the team to capture rare animals. Two regenerators, two nutritionists, and the strongest president-Xifeng.
At this time, except for Wu Yong, Odd, and Roger, everyone was injured.
Obviously, the hunting target this time is so strong that the entire association has been mobilized.
"Thanks to everyone's hard work for this operation, fortunately there were no combat casualties."
"President Xifeng, let's start the banquet quickly...the patients can't stand it any longer." Although everyone was scratched, they were still in the mood to joke.
Xifeng didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Then I won't talk nonsense. In order to reward you this time, I specially asked Tang Zhihun to prepare a special skill."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they said excitedly: "Lingxi Wuqin Soup?"
“I’ve always heard of its name, but it’s hard to find a single dish.”
"I was lucky enough to taste it once. The taste is really rare in the world."
"Haha, our association has traveled through many dangerous places in the human world, and has enjoyed countless rare ingredients, but we all look poor."
"Hey, after all, the soul of cooking is the chef, and just having ingredients is not enough."
Security Minister Wu Yong said: "Hey, President Xifeng and Master Tang Zhihun have known each other for many years, and they must have drank a lot."
Xifeng said proudly: "That's natural. The ingredients for Lingxi Wuqin Soup are extremely rare. How could he come up with it without me? Since you have contributed, how can the soup be without me?"
"I'm coming!"
Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the huge casserole was pushed in.
There is also alcohol paste under the casserole to light a slight flame, allowing it to maintain its temperature even under the icicles of the century.
Gu Gu Gu Gu~
Under the strong aroma, the sound of stomach growling came and went.
