Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 353 Pickled Fish

Just when Chen Xiaojun and the others were about to be hit, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and they were instantly teleported to an empty valley.

"What...is going on?" Zhu Wuneng asked in shock.

Chenxiaojun didn't answer, he just observed the surrounding environment silently.

It was obvious that they were kicked out of the secret realm by some force, and this valley was probably their exit from the secret realm.

Chenxiaojun was silent for a moment, with a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "It seems that the secret realm has been closed. We have to leave here."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel sad.

They knew that the disappearance of the secret realm meant that they lost the opportunity to enter it and the opportunity to learn more about the first generation of angel gods.

But he also understands that sometimes fate is like this, and some things cannot be forced.

"Let's go, let's get out of here." Chen Xiaojun turned around first and walked out of the valley.

Xixi and the others followed him silently, feeling somewhat regretful that there were still many places to explore.

On the way out of the valley, everyone stopped talking and just walked in silence.

"Master, will we have another chance to enter the secret realm?" Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but ask.

Chenxiaojun shook his head: "I don't know either. The mobile space secret realm is very random. If you can enter it once, you are lucky."

………………

As everyone walked out of the valley, they gathered together and enjoyed the rare leisure time. The main dish is pickled fish, which Luo Zhenjun caught in the stream, and the chef is Chen Xiaojun.

In the previous two days in the secret place, because of the unknown danger, they only ate simple picnic dry food.

This time, they came to Huaqing Palace in Lishan Mountain. They originally went out for relaxation, but they got extra gains because of the adventure in the secret realm.

Chen Xiaojun skillfully operated various tableware and neatly handled a nearly ten kilogram fat-headed fish.

Due to the existence of soul beasts, the creatures in this world are much larger than in the previous life, and there are also twenty kilograms of fish in the stream.

Chen Xiaojun skillfully used a kitchen knife to carefully cut the fish.

He gently pinched off the head and tail of the fish, slashed the belly of the fish neatly, and removed the bones. In this way, the two pieces of fish meat were perfectly separated.

Then he began the more delicate process of filleting the fish. The kitchen knife danced rapidly in his hand, as if it was alive, and each cut was precise and powerful.

The fish fillets fly up in pieces, as thin as silk, so transparent that you can almost see the texture clearly.

The speed and stability with which he swung the knife stunned everyone onlookers, and they couldn't help but let out bursts of admiration.

After a while, about ten kilograms of fish fillets came out.

After filleting the fish, Chen Xiaojun rinsed it with clean water and squeezed out the water.

Then, starting to marinate, he added salt, sugar, cooking wine, pepper and egg white in sequence, carefully mixing each addition evenly. Finally, he sprinkled a handful of cornstarch into the batter, mixed it evenly and set aside.

Next is the firing stage. Chen Xiaojun heats a pan with cold oil, puts the fish bones into the pan and fry until golden brown.

He added chopped ginger, garlic and other ingredients, stir-fry until fragrant, then added sauerkraut and continued stir-frying.

The unique aroma of sauerkraut overflows and makes people salivate. Pour in water and the soup will boil instantly.

He put in enoki mushrooms, white radish and other side vegetables, cooked them until they were cooked, took them out and put them on the bottom of a large bowl.

Then, Chen Xiaojun put the marinated fish fillets evenly into the pot and boiled them for about a minute. The fish fillets are tumbled in the hot soup, making them even more tender and delicious.

After the whole pot is poured into a large bowl, the main part of the pickled fish is completed.

The last step is to fry until fragrant and add oil.

Chen Xiaojun heats the oil in a pot until it is 70% hot, then adds minced garlic, minced scallions, chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to squeeze out the aroma.

The hot oil "sizzles" and the fragrance is tangy. He poured the hot oil evenly over the fish fillets, immediately stimulating a richer aroma.

When a large plate of pickled fish is served, the bright color, tangy aroma, and tempting taste are simply irresistible.

Coupled with the combination of braised meat and cucumbers and other side dishes, this meal is simply perfect. Everyone couldn't wait to use their chopsticks to taste this rare delicacy.

Cooking has always been Chen Xiaojun's interest. In his previous life, he followed the principle of "if you want to conquer a person, conquer his stomach first".

Well, actually, it was more because most girls at that time were no longer good at cooking, or no longer knew how to cook.

In this world of Douluo Continent, Xiaoyi is like the gentle and quiet "Hinata", while Xixi is a girl who is curious about hot and sour tastes.

She had always liked the unique sour taste of green apples, so when Chen Xiaojun cooked this spicy and sour fish dish, she was overjoyed.

The fish meat was tender and smooth, with just the right amount of sour and spicy flavor. Xixi was sweating after eating it, and her whole taste buds seemed to be dancing.

She couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious, it's delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious and appetizing fish!"

This method is not available on Poseidon Island. They have very few sour meals and even fewer spicy meals because these ingredients are not available.

Many condiments were found by Chen Xiaojun in this world and are not available in ordinary people's homes.

Find these plant raw materials and let the family of followers try them out bit by bit.

As a financially minded man, he made a lot of money by having his family unite with Qijue Gong Yang family and Ning family to form an industrial chain, integrating research, production and sales.

Their appearance has enriched the dishes of various wealthy families. Without these condiments, banquets for guests would not be up to par.

Zhu Wuneng also ate with gusto. While chewing the delicious fish, he said vaguely: "Master, your cooking skills are still so good, it's just that when you cook, it's a bit lacking. If I could eat your cooking every day, That would be so happy.”

Xiaoyi squinted her eyes, enjoying the pleasure brought by the food, with a full sense of happiness between her brows and eyes.

She knew that these delicacies were specially prepared for them by Chen Xiaojun, and this feeling was more precious than any words.

During the three years in the Ice and Fire Eyes, although Chen Xiaojun occasionally practiced his skills and prepared some "hometown dishes" for himself, he still spent most of his time practicing and exploring.

After all, the ingredients in this world are too precious and abundant, and large-scale pure natural organic foods like Soul Beast are even rarer. Every cooking time is a rare experience and enjoyment.

And the food in this world is not only delicious, but also brings unexpected benefits. Just like the spicy and sour fish they are eating now, it not only makes the mouth feel pleasant and increases appetite, but also increases soul power to a certain extent.

This is one of the reasons why Zhu Wuneng, his grandson, and Xiaoyi all like Chen Xiaojun's craftsmanship so much.
