Chapter 17: A House Full of Gold and Jewelry·Appetizers [Part 1]
After combining his own methods, Qin Yuelou did not encounter anything worthy of mention. He did not eliminate demons or exorcise evil spirits. He just went about his daily routine, studying dishes and cultivating various ingredients in the dream world of mountains and seas.
Then the rich and beautiful family's food war began, and he also accepted the invitation of Yuchi's family to go with him.
He was also listening to Yu Chijing's introduction to the chefs from both inside and outside worlds.
The chefs in the internal and external food competition are more expensive than more expensive, so the competition is currently based on an elimination system.
There are seven people in the chef world, and there are seven people in the chef world.
Someone will be eliminated every day, and today's competition between the two worlds is the appetizer.
In Dajing's banquet specifications, the so-called appetizers refer to cold dishes. After all, the appetizers themselves are dishes that serve as appetizers before the main course. If they are served in large portions or full of delicious food,
That would just be putting the cart before the horse.
Qin Yuelou glanced at the dishes prepared by the fourteen chefs and knew what appetizers these chefs were planning to prepare.
"Actually, it's quite a blessing to have a house full of gold and jade. Everyone knows the contents of the dish competition that day, so they can prepare in advance." Qin Yuelou thought to himself, and his eyes focused on a young man in white.
.
This young boy has a broad forehead and long braids, but he looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He can be said to be the youngest chef among these chefs.
Qin Yuelou looked at the name tag in front of the young boy.
"Hong Fuxing? His name is quite lucky..." Qin Yuelou thought of some childhood memories.
The literary consultant for "The Magic Chef Xiao Fugui" was Yu Hua. Yes, it was the same Yu Hua who wrote "To Live". Everyone's ending was difficult to reconcile.
"I hope this child won't be like Xiao Fugui." Qin Yuelou thought to himself, and then he also paid special attention to Hong Fuxing.
Hong Fuxing took out some prepared leaves. The leaves of these leaves are oval to oval-ovate, with sparsely serrated edges and eyelashes. They are green above, with sunken veins, and gray-green below.
Put them full into the basin, and then pour boiling water to scald the leaves until they are soft.
"Mr. Qin, what is that young man doing? Can those leaves be used as an appetizer?" Yu Chihui also followed Qin Yuelou's gaze and observed Hong Fuxing.
"That's Er-winged Liudaomu. Its leaves are also called fairy leaves and are edible. It seems he wants to make fairy tofu, but the leaves are sweet and bitter. It takes a long time to skim off the bitterness.
That’s it.” Qin Yuelou said, touching his chin.
I saw Hong Fuxing wait for the boiling water to cool down, then change the water and rinse again. Repeat this six times, add a few drops of clear oil, mix it with cold water, and then add the boiling water again, but now it is also warm water, and then Hong Fuxing washes
Clean your hands and repeatedly rub the fairy leaves in a basin, then mash and grind them with a pestle until the leaves become a paste.
"There is also a legend about the origin of this fairy tofu. It is said that in the previous dynasty, there was a natural disaster one year and there was no harvest. A man named Wang Sheng was inspired by the gods and led the villagers up the mountain to collect these gods.
Leaves, and then mash the leaves to make "tofu" to eat. In this way, people relied on this "tofu" to survive the spring famine. Since this "tofu" was made under the guidance of gods, the folks called it "tofu".
"Fairy Tofu", the leaves used to make "Fairy Tofu" are called "Fairy Leaves". From then on, "Fairy Tofu" became a life-saving food for farmers in the mountainous area to survive the years of famine." Qin Yuelou explained.
There was also fairy tofu in the previous life, and it was very different from the allusion to fairy tofu in this world, but this was just something he said when he got excited about the topic and became more interested in explaining it.
What really made Qin Yuelou feel wonderful was that he could detect some magical power from Hong Fuxing's body, and then he felt it deeply.
"Wonderful, this child's talent is really suitable for doing these things."
The child purely relied on his own super perception and top sense, relying solely on his own body feeling, to make the pasty fairy leaves more fully and tightly bonded during the grinding process, but then broke them apart.
The so-called "me in you" and "you in me" is similar to this, except that the parts cannot be seen in the paste, but a whole.
But in a more subtle way, the internal molecular structure of these fairy leaves was split apart by the young man's magical power, and then reintegrated in another form.
And Hong Fuxing added preserved eggs and fatty tofu into it.
"Wonderful, is this the prototype of molecular cuisine in this world? And this kind of magical power that is accurate to molecular reorganization can also have a huge effect on changing the properties of ingredients."
Qin Yuelou accurately sensed that the molecules were broken and reorganized, which was equivalent to incorporating the advantages of preserved eggs and tofu.
"Is this tofu?" Yu Chijing asked Qin Yuelou with some doubts, "These things put together don't look appetizing at all."
"It's not necessarily true that it's called tofu. It should be regarded as jelly, but it's just cut into pieces after it's finished and looks like tofu." Qin Yuelou explained,
"But in fact, the original appearance of every food you eat may not be that beautiful. For example, with meat, you only see how the food looks when it is served, but you don't see the animals being killed and then disemboweled.
The look of bleeding,
As a human being, I will never treat myself badly when it comes to eating, but...
You have to be careful when hunting for food, but it is even more undesirable to kill for food."
Qin Yuelou said, and Yuchi Jing also nodded in agreement.
Then Qin Yuelou saw the Hong Fuxing and repeatedly filtered it into the mold with gauze and a fine sieve. The mold was square, and the green filtered paste also fell into the mold, and then the Hong Fuxing was
He lifted an object wrapped in thatch and animal skin from his feet. After unwrapping it, he found an iron box inside. When he opened the iron box, it was filled with ice cubes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hong Fuxing also placed the mold into the prepared ice cubes.
Qin Yuelou looked at it and nodded repeatedly: "This kid has an ingenious idea. He uses ice cubes to speed up the solidification process of the fairy tofu."
Although there are spells in this world that can create ice cubes at will, there are not many spells, so the origin of these ices cannot be separated from wisdom.
Dajing has gunpowder, and Dajing also has fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year. The use of gunpowder also stimulated the flourishing development of the sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal industries.
The chemical ice making method uses the process of dissolving saltpeter, and the dissolution of saltpeter can cool the water below the freezing point, so that ice cubes appear.
The preservation of ice cubes only requires an insulation layer.
This can be seen in Qin Yuelou's previous life. When he was a child, he would see an old man pushing a bicycle when he went to the square in the summer. The old man's bicycle had a plastic box wrapped in rags on the back seat. After opening it, there were
Ice cubes and various chilled drinks.
Hong Fuxing also preserves ice cubes in this way.
Therefore, Qin Yuelou couldn't help but take a few more glances at Hong Fuxing.
Hong Fuxing counted the time and prepared other materials.
Put the oil into the pot, heat it and wait for a while to cool down, then add the dried and chopped millet chili peppers, stir-fry continuously until the oil surface no longer foams, then Hong Fuxing pours the oil chili peppers into a clay pot to cool.
Then he started pounding the garlic without stopping, and his innate magical power was manifested again at this moment.
"It's minced garlic, it's really something that brings back memories." Qin Yuelou couldn't help but sigh.
When he was a child, when he was at his grandparents' house, his grandfather would wear reading glasses, peel garlic, put pieces of garlic into a jar, grind and mash them with a pestle, mix the juice with the garlic paste, and scoop out the garlic.
I gave Qin Anyi a small spoonful of minced garlic to eat. It was so spicy that he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and fan himself.
It’s just a distant earth, can we go back again?
Qin Yuelou sighed.
The beauty in memories will remain in memories after all.
"So this is the ideological infection of the Guangming chef world." Qin Yuelou looked at Hong Fuxing thoughtfully.
Food can bring good things to people, which is the same as his daily meal. He also uses his daily meal to awaken the hearts of those who have made mistakes.
However, Qin Yuelou also discovered another dazzling person from the dark world of chefs.
The dazzling man has an upright figure. The kitchen knife in his hand looks like it is made of crystal. If you look closely, you can see traces of frost, but it does not intrude on his hand.
Her hair refused to stand up, and her hair was braided on both sides of her temples and hung down in front of her shoulders.
"Lei Yinxin? Isn't this the Seven-Star Sword? Where is the young master? Where is Master Xie of the Steel Rod?" Qin Yuelou complained in his heart.
But he also paid attention to the cold appetizers made by Qinglei Yinxin.
"This...this is..." Qin Yuelou also saw what Lei Yinxin had done.
That's spicy cabbage.
Spicy cabbage in the previous life was from a place further in the northeastern region of China, and it was also a delicacy of a certain ethnic minority.
But a country further away did not want Bilian. It claimed to be the birthplace of all things in the universe and plagiarized it in countless ways. The spicy cabbage was also renamed kimchi by that shameless country.
But here in Dajing, this spicy cabbage is still called spicy cabbage.
Before Qin Yuelou paid attention, Lei Yinxin did not take any action to process the ingredients. But the coincidence was that when Qin Yuelou paid attention, Lei Yinxin started to prepare various ingredients.
Qin Yuelou also recalled what Lei Yinxin had just done through dreams.
He is reciting the mantra for rebirth.
Lei Yinxin was actually trying to save these ingredients, and his salvation actually came from his kind heart. This kind heart made him cry silently.
In the appearance of the macho man, his eyes were red and filled with tears. He was indeed feeling sad for these ingredients.
"Kind! How kind this is!" Qin Yuelou was shocked.
I saw Lei Yinxin peeling off the outer layer of old leaves from the Chinese cabbage, washing it with clean water, and then evenly spreading salt inside and outside, and then recited the Rebirth Mantra.
It's the feeling of magical power being activated again.
Pickling requires time, but this magical power involves time. Once activated, this magical power drastically shortens the pickling time of spicy cabbage.
The time until it is completely marinated is only half a quarter, which is a little more than three minutes.
Then Lei Yinxin rinsed it with clean water to remove the salt smell, and then squeezed out the water.
"I can guarantee that in the Battle of Food, the only people who can stand at the end will be Hong Fuxing and Lei Yinxin." Qin Yuelou was thinking in his heart while stealing some dreams from the two of them, and he was going to
He studied and reproduced the two's supernatural powers, but he also filled their dreams with his various insights into cooking.
"Why do you say that?" Yu Chijing was puzzled.
"These two people use magical powers to process ingredients, and they are better than ordinary chefs from the beginning. Although... um? Wori? Do these chefs actually have magical powers that can be applied to chefs?" Qin
Only then did Yue Lou realize it.
The fluctuations of magical power became more and more confusing.
Fourteen people, fourteen magical powers, can all be applied to cooking skills.
Qin Yuelou continued to steal dreams and reproduce the fourteen magical powers.
"What a shame." Qin Yuelou became interested in this food battle.
Then he looked at Lei Yinxin's movements. Lei Yinxin used the crystal kitchen knife to chop ginger, garlic, apples and pears into fine pieces and stack them together for later use.
Then use chili powder, salt, and another colorless crystal and mix thoroughly.
Qin Yuelou felt that it looked familiar, so he looked at the colorless crystal.
"It's actually monosodium glutamate? But it's not using scientific methods to extract sodium glutamate, but using magical powers to extract it. This is really impressive." Qin Yuelou thought this way.
MSG in the previous life was created in 1908 when a scientist discovered the umami taste while drinking kelp soup and used kelp to extract sodium glutamate and called it Ajinomoto, which is MSG, but it was done through scientific means.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But these magical powers can also do similar things.
"For a long time, we have fallen into the mindset that magical powers are only used for fighting, but magical powers can do more things. These magical powers are similar to supernatural powers and can be used to develop productivity. I have to wake up my mind when I go back.
Gang brothers, especially researchers." The cook thought to himself.
Over there, Lei Yinxin continued to process the ingredients. After mixing thoroughly, Lei Yinxin also poured the minced ginger, garlic, apples and pears into the chili noodles, mixed it into a chili paste, and began to pickle the vegetables, starting from the innermost layer, and
Spread the prepared chili paste on the inside and outside of the cabbage.
Then he put it into the jar, and Lei Yin's heart activated his magical powers again.
The fourteen chefs also showed their magical powers like the eight immortals crossing the sea. Then the decision bell rang and the fourteen cold appetizers were prepared respectively.
Although the portion is not large and it doesn't matter if you are full, these fourteen dishes must be eaten by the judges after all.
But Qin Yuelou could see that the domestic and foreign chefs had not let go at all. In other words, the ideas of the domestic and foreign chefs in the fourteen cold dishes would also affect the emotions of the judges and referees.
The judges are naturally the emperor, the queen mother, and the imperial master, followed by Prince Qi, who knows the best about food. This prince is a king with a different surname, and he was also given the title of prince, but he is a famous gourmet in Dajing, and his mansion
Most of the people recruited from the website are famous chefs from all over the world, and naturally they are good at a variety of dishes.
The four people also corresponded to the four aspects of the dishes: color, flavor, shape and shape.
But Qin Yuelou was able to figure out the root cause of the internal and external food war.
"It turns out that the taste buds of the judges serve as the battlefield, and the food's own color, flavor, and texture are used to inspire the concepts of both parties. No matter the order of the two concepts, they will always meet. It turns out that this is the core of the internal and external food war.
A food war is indeed a food war." Although Qin Yuelou did not eat the food himself.
But just by smelling it, you can feel the aroma as if you were experiencing it yourself, but you can also perceive the concept engraved in the food.
"These are extraordinary foods, but they only act on the spirit, that is to say, on a deeper level, they act on the soul... The extraordinary food in my mind is the opposite. I want to use food to stimulate the human body's potential.
Genetic evolution is formed so that everyone is born with genetic abilities...
But the two sides, the genetic body and the spiritual soul, are integrated into one. The physical body protects the soul, and the soul feeds back the physical body... This can also complement my way of eating.
It seems that even if Jinyu Mantang doesn't participate this time, I can still gain a lot, and I'm one step closer to kicking open the door." Qin Yuelou was very satisfied.
However, he is also quite curious about what these four powerful people, who are part-time referees and judges, will say about these fourteen dishes. If you like Liaozhai instead of Cthulhu, please save it: (www.sodu777.
