National Goddess: The First Spirit Chef in History

Chapter 88

However, just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it won't exist in the future.

As long as there is Wen Qiao, isn't that his home?
As long as he thinks about it, Master Mao's little heart can't help speeding up, full of happiness.

Wen Qiao just asked casually and sent it out of feeling. Seeing that Master Cat hadn't answered, and still had a rippling smile on his face, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. After pointing his forehead with his finger, he turned around and took the food from the kitchen. All of them were laid out.

This is the first time she cooks ordinary ingredients in a big black pot, and she doesn't know what the result will be. In order to test the true strength of the big black pot, she didn't even purify these dishes, just to see how the aura value of ordinary dishes can be. How much can there be.

Frying, frying, frying, cooking some dishes in various ways, wielding kitchen knives and spatulas for hours, Wen Qiao is not only not tired at all, but looks particularly energetic. She found that whenever she holds the big black pot When cooking, there is a very mysterious feeling. At that moment, it seems that even the aura around her has thickened a lot. Every time she cooks, it is as if she has experienced a spiritual bath, even more than she usually meditates. Works well overnight.

It can be seen from this that, food cultivation, food cultivation, really the only way for her is to hone her culinary skills, cook and eat all the delicacies in the world.

Ordinary vegetables, meat, and the food made are still full of color and fragrance, and have a strange smell, but they are no longer as exaggerated as the spiritual food made by strange beasts, which will not cause people to lose their minds, but smelling it, it is still delicious. People can't help drooling, and they can't help but want to stuff them all into their mouths before tasting them.

He neatly placed the already filled plate on the mahogany tray. Dozens of dishes, layered on top of each other like stacked logs, were arranged by Wen Qiao without affecting the food on the plate at all. A tower of food was formed on it, and Wen Qiao steadily brought it to the table of the Eight Immortals.

Because of her personal preference, most of the meals she cooks are Jinling dishes.

Most of the raw materials of Jinling cuisine are aquatic products, which focus on freshness, fine knife skills, and good use of cooking methods such as stewing, braising, roasting, and simmering. The taste is mild, fresh, crispy, and tender.The dishes are delicate and exquisite, and the style is elegant.Pay attention to knife skills, be good at fire skills, rich in changing techniques and taste characteristics that are suitable for both north and south, and at the same time take the characteristics of the four directions to adapt to the taste of all directions.

Pay attention to seven flavors, fresh, rotten, crisp, tender, crisp, thick, fat, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, fragrant and smelly.

It is mainly salty, suitable for salty sweetness, sour but not astringent, bitter but fragrant, spicy but not strong, crisp but not raw, thick and mellow, fat but not greasy, light but not thin.

Take "stewed raw knock" as an example, "big eels are killed alive, cleaned of blood, deboned, flattened on a chopping board, and hit with a wooden stick. The fiber and meridian tissues are all broken up. The motivation and purpose is to prepare for the following step: to make the eel fully absorb the marinade made with wine, salt, sugar, onion, ginger, spices, etc.

After the marinade is full, change the knife to grow into a cube, deep-fry in the oil pan until the golden "sesame flower" is in full bloom, then remove it, then stir-fry with onion, ginger, cooking wine and bacon slices for 3 minutes to become silver charcoal, and then remove Take out, cook in broth until softened, add pork skin, sliced ​​meat, sliced ​​bamboo shoots, green onion, ginger, garlic, etc., simmer for an hour in a casserole, and serve. "

Don't underestimate this knocking. If you knock it well, the eel can turn into a sea cucumber. If you knock it badly, the eel can become a sponge. "Stewed raw knock" is the first word for stew, the stew is the essence, relying on fire, "the meat is too old when the fire is over, and the soup is less than a little less". When served, the eel should be golden in color, crisp in the mouth, and delicious.

It is characterized by rigorous material selection, fine production, exquisite knife skills, original flavors, and distinct seasons. , smooth, tender and crisp without losing its life.In terms of production, he is good at wild vegetables and wild vegetables; in terms of cooking methods, he stews and stews alternately throughout the year. Fork-roasted fatty duck, fork-roasted catfish, and fork-roasted crispy squares are combined to form the "Jinling Three-fork".The most influential ones in China are duck dishes and whole duck banquets, duck fin roast duck banquets, and shark fin roast duck banquets, enjoying the reputation of "Jinling duck delicacies are the best in the world".

Wen Qiao was once lucky enough to eat the most authentic Jinling cuisine with his grandfather. The old man who was in charge of the spoon used to be an imperial cook in the palace. Before the founding of the People's Republic, he was tied up on the mountain by bandits because of his good cooking skills, and was rescued and exiled to a certain place. Although the person in power was not harmed, he lost his freedom for more than 20 years. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that he was finally free and could live the life he wanted.

Grandpa Wen had some friendship with the other party, and was fortunate to take her to a banquet made by this person. To be honest, Wen Qiao had always thought that Grandpa Wen's cooking was delicious enough. After tasting this person's cooking skills, Only then did I understand what real food is.

It's just a pity that the old man passed away not long after. This delicacy that belonged to Wen Qiao once tasted in his childhood has influenced Wen Qiao for more than ten years. Afterwards, when he ate Jinling cuisine, he always felt that it lost some taste, and all kinds of different flavors satisfy.

Around that time, she became interested in cooking, and then learned all of Grandpa Wen's skills, and also tried a lot of dishes that Grandpa Wen was not good at. Wen Qiao has a tenacity. When I am interested, I will be particularly persistent and will not give up if I do not achieve it.

However, she didn't dare to try Jinling cuisine, which led her to learn how to cook. Maybe she herself was afraid of making a mess, and she was always not confident.

Grandpa Wen used to laugh at her about this incident before, but more often he sighed, regretting that he took Wen Qiao to eat. Although it enriched his taste buds, he was overwhelmed by the other party's craftsmanship and caused great harm. psychological shadow.

This shadow is like a magic spell, which is placed on Wen Qiao's head. Unless she has enough confidence to break the magic spell, she will not want to have every inch of Jinling's dishes in her life, or even affect her cooking skills.

In the past, whenever Grandpa Wen sighed like this, Wen Qiao could only smile wryly. Now, Wen Qiao, who has passed on the memory and freed himself, no longer has any magic spells. Although he still misses the taste he had tasted many years ago, he will no longer be afraid of it. I was too afraid to start.

Now, even if she doesn't have a big black pot, she still has the confidence to cook delicious food that is not inferior to that old man back then.
