Book of the Heavens

Chapter 183 The Highest Level of Cooking

Do earthworms taste good?
If you ask Liu Qi, Liu Peiqiang and others in the original book to answer, the answer is delicious!Because at that time, pigs, sheep, cows, chickens, ducks, etc. were all gone, and most people were eating tasteless synthetic protein, and some people had never even seen meat dishes from birth to adulthood!

Therefore, as the only thing that can be farmed underground, earthworms are high-grade goods, almost equivalent to beef before the sun went wrong.

Most people have eaten it, but most people are reluctant to eat it often.

The carefully packaged dried earthworms are definitely much more precious than the old beef jerky, perhaps not as good as the most high-end food like puffer fish, but it is still no problem compared to Hongze Lake hairy crabs and Yellow River carp.Generally speaking, people would only buy that kind of thing when they were giving gifts and asking for help.

In the original book, when Liu Qi's grandfather, Han Ziang, went to fish for someone, he gave him dried earthworms.

It's a pity that the quality of public officials in the era of Wandering Earth is relatively good, and Han Ziang failed to find people, so he went in instead.

However, although dried earthworms are delicious to wandering earthlings, they are definitely not a good dish for normal people—modern earthlings actually eat earthworms, but there are relatively few people who eat them, and not many people know that’s all.

As for why so few people eat it?
Obviously not tasty!

In fact, most of the unpopular ingredients don't taste very good. Otherwise, someone will breed them on a large scale, study the breeding technology, and then popularize it, causing the price to drop.

The most common pigs, cattle, and sheep are the meat with the best taste, but because there are too many of them, they are ignored by many people.

Otherwise, it’s okay for a person not to eat hairy crabs for a few years, but try not to eat pork, beef, and mutton for a few years?
All in all, although people's diet covers almost all species in the world, earthworms are still an ingredient that most people don't like, so Yang Hao wants to make this for Shen Ning.

Not for anything else, just to show Shen Ning's culinary skills and leave an impression on Shen Ning that her cooking is unpalatable.

After all, he was really afraid that Shen Ning would make himself a cook.

Although the quality education of the Yuanyuan Protoss is very good, even the crown prince should not force others to do anything, but what if?
If he was really caught as a cook, it would be a very bad taste.

"Dried earthworms? Is it your special delicacy here?" Shen Ning's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Yang Hao's words, and said: "I like to eat things that have never been eaten before. The more distinctive the better. Remember The most delicious thing I have eaten in the past two years is an egg laid by a planet, cooked in a stellar pot, the taste is very good."

Yang Hao: "..."

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little bad.

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, seems to have a wide range of tastes!
However, I have already said that I will do it, so naturally I have to keep my promise - I can't do it if I don't keep it, and I don't know if it is because the quality education of the original protoss is so good, Shen Ning, the prince, actually understands the principle of "doing it yourself to get enough food and clothing", so I went out to find out in person For things like earthworms, in a very short period of time, they found an excavator and dug a large pot by themselves.

During the period, Yang Hao and Stephen Zhou were dumbfounded by the operation of driving an excavator to dig earthworms without a teacher.

Because Shen Ning grabbed the excavator with her hands and dug it "directly".

It was the first time for Yang Hao to see this kind of coquettish operation, which made him deeply feel that except for the "bucket", other parts of excavators can be superfluous.

"Actually, you don't need to dig it yourself. I know a man named Lu Xiaofeng who has dug many earthworms and is very experienced in this field. Just go to him." Yang Hao couldn't help but said.

In this regard, Shen Ning shook her head and said: "It's not good to trouble others. I dug it out myself, and it tastes good when I eat it, right? Let me tell you, the material used for this stuff is actually very particular! Some places have heavy metals exceeding the standard, and some places are seriously polluted , the earthworms in those places are not edible, only the earthworms dug out are edible in places where the soil is clean and rich in nutrients.”

Yang Hao: "..."

He suddenly discovered that Shen Ning was really talented in eating.

Then, he started to make it on the spot, using extremely complicated seasonings, and after dozens of procedures, he finally made a dried earthworm with a good color and fragrance—although he deliberately made dried earthworms to prevent her from giving birth He wanted to be the royal chef himself, but after all, he had to teach Stephen Zhou some dry goods, so he did his best.

Therefore, there is no problem inside or outside this dish of earthworms.

The only problem is that the taste of the ingredients is preserved, which makes this kind of thing not very suitable for human taste.

After all, earthworms were not born to be eaten.

"Only this one dish seems a bit monotonous." After Yang Hao cooked the dried earthworms, he thought for a while, then took out the leftover overnight meal from the library yesterday, and copied three servings of fried rice with eggs.

He didn't cook any other dishes, because it was not good for him to cook them well, so he deliberately cooked them badly, so Shen Ning could eat them with his taste.

There are not so many worries about fried rice with eggs. He doesn't need to put anything other than eggs, rice, and salt for home-cooked snacks.Stir-frying is also easy, follow the feeling, don't care about the process, don't care about the seasoning, simply stir-fry, and eat casually.

It's just that, for some reason, when copying, he lost himself a bit, fired three copies in a row, and didn't feel the passage of time.

"Excellent, abandoning all the complicated processes, using simple ingredients to make the most hearty talent, this is the highest level of culinary skills in the legend!" Stephen Zhou said in shock.

Yang Hao: "???"

Then, the three tasted the dried earthworms together. He tried to take a bite and found that although the taste was wonderful, he didn't like it.

Stephen Zhou and Shen Ning couldn't help frowning after taking a bite.

Because after the earthworm's own taste is fully developed, it is really not very delicious, at least for humans, it is not delicious.

"I understand, master brother, you want to tell me that even if the ingredients and cooking skills have reached the limit, a dish may not taste good, right?" Stephen Zhou said: "If a person doesn't like something at all , it is impossible to meet the appetite. Just like the four great classics, although there are always people who don't like "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West".

Yang Hao was speechless, and couldn't help saying: "I think it's better not to have the problem of over-interpretation."

He runs a library and doesn't write books, so he doesn't want to become a person like Lu Xun who "says everything" and "every sentence has a deep meaning".

"Well, it's really not good to over-interpret." Shen Ning also said, then changed the subject, and said suddenly: "However, the technique of this dish is really good. With this cooking skill alone, Yang Hao, you are qualified to be my exclusive chef .As for this egg fried rice, it's a bit too simple, I've never eaten it so simple..."

As she spoke, she took a bite of fried rice with eggs, and then directly threw the plate of earthworms on the table into the trash can.

"How?" Yang Hao was stunned.

"That kind of food is not worthy of being served with this bowl of rice." Shen Ning said excitedly: "This is the best food I have ever eaten, really, I must invite you to be my exclusive chef! "
