Is there something wrong with making food a beast?

Chapter 292 Mud Cage
"You two get started, I can't wait."

Hearing the introduction of the two, Zhou Tianhao, who was in charge of the review, spoke cheerfully, his face full of anticipation.

Shen Qian's delicacy called "Rabbit in a Cage" uses new spices that he has never tried before. It is estimated that the method is not simple, which makes him look forward to it inexplicably.

Not to mention Qin Lang's side, just the allusion to the origin of "Beggar's Chicken" made him extremely interested, and at the same time, he also had a kind of admiration.

Both myself and Qin Lang are from Tianhua State, but he has never heard of the story of Beggar Chicken. It seems that this young man who is younger than himself has more experience in food than himself. No wonder the other party's cooking skills are so good.

"No problem!" Shen Qian replied with a smile, then knelt down on the soft grass, took out a small knife and began to carefully cut off the skin of the branches.

Because it was a twig, the branch in Shen Qian's hand was not branched, it was slender and resilient, and it would not break even when bent easily.

After the pink skin is peeled off, the inside of the branches shows a strange blood red color, which is also the origin of this tree's name.

A somewhat strange fragrance emanated from the blood-red interior, making Shen Qian look satisfied.

It's the taste!

Soon, the bundle of branches collected just now was processed by Shen Qian in the same way, turning into a bundle of blood-red branches.

Then, Shen Qian began to deal with the hare.

On the other side, Qin Lang was also busy.

But what he was doing was completely different from Shen Qian's.

Putting the pheasant and bank lotus aside casually, Qin Lang strolled around the stream, and quickly collected a large amount of moist soil by the stream.

"You are..." Zhou Tianhao's mouth twitched slightly as he saw Qin Lang walking towards him holding the soil.

However, soon, he found that the corners of his mouth twitched early.

Because Qin Lang casually sat cross-legged on the grass, took a small basin, and started playing with mud.

It might be inaccurate to say that he was playing with mud. It should be said that Qin Lang was kneading the lump of mud with a technique similar to kneading dough, while removing small stones and other debris from it.

But it's still mud? !
Zhou Tianhao was dumbfounded.

Shen Qian who noticed the situation on Qin Lang's side was also stunned, and the knife that killed the rabbit trembled.

After thoroughly kneading the soil and making sure that there were no sundries in it, Qin Lang went up to smell it.

What came over was the smell of soil, without any peculiar smell, which made Qin Lang nod in satisfaction.

The delicacy of beggar chicken also has certain requirements for soil.

If there are too many microorganisms and odors from fermentation, even the barrier of lotus leaves may affect the chicken.

Of course, it would be even better if there is a certain special fragrance on this basis.

For more particular beggar chickens, the clay of old wine is often used as the soil. This kind of soil has been infiltrated by the aroma of wine for many years, and naturally carries a hint of wine aroma.

Qin Lang couldn't find such soil, but if it was just the smell of wine, he still had a way.

"Dan Bao, breathe fire!"

Qin Lang handed the pot filled with soil to Danbao.

Danbao understood, and quickly controlled the soil in the pot to suspend in the air with the wave of thoughts, and then adjusted the firepower to bake it.

The moisture absorbed by the soil by the stream quickly evaporated under the burning of the flames, and the soil that could squeeze out water with a slight squeeze became dry at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally was completely crushed into soil powder with a slight force.

Zhou Tianhao and Shen Qian still didn't understand what Qin Lang was going to do, the latter simply put the hare aside, planning to see what kind of medicine Qin Lang sold in the gourd first.

The soil powder was returned to the basin, Qin Lang added stream water and a small amount of rice wine, and began to knead it again, just like kneading dough, let it absorb water and then condense into a ball again.

Burning dry first and then kneading again can not only mix the aroma of wine into it, but also use high temperature to kill microorganisms in the soil, and at the same time control the humidity of the soil within the required range.

Three birds with one stone.

Of course, in the eyes of Zhou Tianhao and Shen Qian, such a step was even more outrageous.

Just play with mud, you even have to add wine to the mud.

What, seasoning?
"That... we don't want to eat dirt, do we?" Zhou Tianhao said tremblingly.

"No, of course the soil is not for eating." Qin Lang was dumbfounded, giving Zhou Tianhao a dose of reassurance.

After processing the soil, Qin Lang put it aside, and then began to process the pheasant.

The pheasant is bled, haired and visceral removed. After the pheasant is cleaned, some spices, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients are stuffed into the belly of the chicken. The washed lotus is carefully wrapped in three layers, and finally tied tightly with hemp rope.

It wasn't until Qin Lang covered the lotus grass with soil that Zhou Tianhao and Shen Qian saw some clues.

It turned out that the soil was used to wrap the chicken, and there was a layer of lotus grass between the two.

As a plant that can be dried and brewed, shore lotus can also be used for cooking. Not only that, Qin Lang also stuffed the chicken belly with spices and mushrooms.

In this way, if this seemingly ordinary mud dumpling is heated...

The two people with good cooking skills have already thought about what will happen next.

The soil can't penetrate into the chicken through the bank lotus, but the aroma of the wine can, and the soil dries and hardens after heating, which can seal everything inside.

In this case, the smell of shore lotus and the taste of various ingredients in the chicken belly penetrate into the chicken...

Before Qin Lang started cooking, the two of them were about to salivate.

Even more surprising is the enlightenment brought about by this approach.

Since the shore lotus can wrap chicken, it can naturally wrap other ingredients. The shore lotus and spices can also be replaced with other things, and even the outer soil can be adjusted according to different situations.

This is a new way of thinking about cooking.

"It seems that I have to show some real skills!" Shen Qian looked serious in her eyes, and quickly lowered her head to deal with the half-processed hare.

There is no need to read Qin Lang's remaining steps. They are nothing more than the control of the heat. This is experience, and there is not much reference value.

And there are still many processes needed for the "caged rabbit" she wants to do.

After peeling off the internal organs, Shen Qian put the rabbit aside after washing and treating it. She picked up the blood-red branch that had just been peeled off, and weaved it neatly.

Soon, a beautiful and simple cage made of twigs was ready. The hare was just put in it and fixed tightly. There was a small hook at the top of the cage, which was convenient for hanging the whole cage.

Shen Qian found a hard, forked branch, fixed the cage, and then put it on the fire that had already been lit, and started to roast it with a smile, "Qin Lang, I'm faster than you... you What are you doing?!"

"Hey!"

Qin Lang wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his head, and looked at the hole dug by the egg treasure on the ground with satisfaction, "I'm going to light a fire and start cooking!"
