Tiexian heirs in the city

Both Jiang An and Xie Ying were full of bitterness, and the vivid shape of cold shrimp had made their expectations for Lao Zhou much lower. From their point of view, it is fine to say that Gu Zheng's method is fairy art or demon art, but it really shouldn't be cooking!

"Is this really cooking?"

Lao Zhou looked at Gu Zheng's Liang Xia and murmured that he was really hit.

"Of course it's cooking! Using inner strength to cook food, can you say that inner strength is not a part of cooking? Don't be too shocked, if the ability transformed from fairy art can't even do simple shapes, Immortal art is not so magical."

Gu Zheng didn't raise his head, and was still busy with the next step of making cold shrimp while talking.

The soup of cold shrimp is the key. Cold shrimp without soup is equivalent to having no soul.

The cold shrimp soup used by Lao Zhou is a relatively creative secret sour plum soup, and the soup used by Gu Zheng is naturally not the same as his.

The pergola was originally built under the coconut trees, and there were some big coconuts in the shed.

Flipping through the pile of coconuts, Gu Zheng held the valued coconut in his hand and shook it back and forth.

The coconut is already ripe, but not as ripe as Gu Zheng wanted! The kind of ripeness that Gu Zheng wants will make the aroma of coconut milk and coconut meat more charming, but the coconut milk will be a little sour on the palate.

For ordinary people, the acidity of coconut milk is very bad, but for Gu Zheng, this is not a problem at all!

"You use the Wood Control Technique to ripen coconuts, so how do you solve the problem of sour coconut water?" Qi Ling asked.

"It's easy to solve sourness. Do you want to hear the basic method or the advanced method?" Gu Zheng smiled confidently.

"What is the basic method? What is the advanced method?" Qi Ling asked again.

"The basic method is to gather the sour substances through water control and then discard them. As for the advanced method, I have now comprehended the way of diet, and my understanding of ingredients has also reached a terrifying level With enough understanding, many changes can be produced, and I can use the wood control technique to transform the sour that originally affects the taste into sweet that optimizes the taste!"

"good!"

Qi Ling sincerely praised the second method that Gu Zheng said.

In the picture in her mind, the chili-like weapon spirit seemed very excited, and she stretched out her thumb to Gu Zheng: "Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things, Gu Zheng, you make me proud!"

The coconut in Gu Zheng's hands had been ripened to the extent he wanted, and when he opened the hard shell of the coconut, a charming coconut fragrance wafted out.

Smelling the scent of coconut, Jiang An, who was already covered in sweat, finally showed a smile on his face.

Jiang An and his father have used coconut milk to make cold shrimp soup, but what is finally decided as cold shrimp soup is the secret sour plum soup. Why? This is because the soup made with coconut milk is not as good as honey sour plum soup, not to mention the coconut milk that Guzheng uses today is still a bit sour!

Dice the coconut meat and put it in a bowl for later use. After Gu Zheng poured the coconut milk into the pot, he put some of the rice milk that had been boiled before, then covered the pot, and put his hands on the pot.

Rice milk is originally a versatile ingredient. Gu Zheng uses rice milk in cold shrimp soup, but he also thinks that the taste of coconut milk is not mellow enough. Although the current rice milk is not boiled from immortal rice, but with the craftsmanship of boiling rice milk, the hundred tower effects of this rice milk still exist.

Seeing that the rice milk was about to be ready, Gu Zheng picked up a candied fruit and threw it into the pot.

The original smile on Jiang An's face became stronger because of Gu Zheng's putting in candied fruit.

Lao Zhou’s cold shrimp uses crushed candied fruit, why use crushed candied fruit instead of whole candied fruit like Gu Zheng?

First of all, candied fruit is a very sweet thing, candied fruit can reduce the sweet taste by reducing the weight, so that the 'taste' becomes more harmonious.

Secondly, chopped candied fruit is also very good with cold shrimp. After all, a large candied fruit in a bowl of cold shrimp will give the food a "color" and cause a sense of disharmony.

In addition, it is best to put the chopped candied fruit before serving the cold shrimp, so that the taste of the candied fruit will not diffuse into the soup, and it will not affect the taste of the candied fruit, and it will also make the taste of the whole bowl of cold shrimp more layered .

The whole candied fruit that Guzheng put down now is a candied fruit made of 'black plum fruit', which is bigger than the cold shrimp he made. Boil the compote in a pot, the compote is bound to expand and the flavor is bound to spread! What's more, although the 'black plum fruit' is delicious, it also loses its color very badly. Jiang An really can't imagine what it will be like to make this bowl of cold shrimp from Gu Zheng.

What surprised Jiang An happened again. Gu Zheng, who threw the 'black plum fruit' into the soup, actually poured all the cold shrimp and spare coconut meat into the pot again, and at the same time Also threw a whole candied fruit in it!

"Crazy! Is this the so-called broken pot?"

Jiang An murmured in his heart, he really couldn't imagine how bad the taste of the returned candied fruit would be.

Gu Zheng, who had put his hands on the pot, lifted the lid of the pot, and for a while, strong water vapor floated from the pot.

Gu Zheng's technique was very fast, and everyone could only vaguely see that the steaming thing in the pot was poured by Gu Zheng into the bowl prepared in advance, and the bowl was covered.

"What are you doing?" Xie Ying frowned.

"Why not, I just don't want you to see what it looks like before serving it. Why, is this a violation? Could it be because you didn't see clearly, and I have to demonstrate every detail carefully?"

Gu Zheng's expression was flat, and he held the bowl of cold shrimp with both hands, and the water control method was still working in it.

"Hmph, pretend to be a ghost, and you'll know when you serve the table, whether your cooking is delicious or not." Jiang An sneered.

"That's right, no matter how fancy it is, it's useless if it doesn't taste good." Xie Ying smiled, but didn't say anything more.

"Gu Zheng, I checked Xie Ying's body a little bit, and this kid is really different!"

Qi Ling's voice suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.

"Why is it different?" Gu Zheng asked.

"As for why it's different, you'll know when the time comes, just wait and see the show!" Qi Ling put on a pass, and then smiled coldly: "When you want to have a fair discussion of cooking skills with others, I don't allow Someone cheated!"

As soon as Gu Zheng thought about it, a picture of Qi Ling appeared in his mind. The little girl was sitting on a rock with her legs crossed, and the smile on her face was indescribably sinister.

No longer caring about the Qi Ling who sold Guanzi, Gu Zheng looked down the mountain and saw that the two climbers were already approaching the top of the mountain. Judging from their dressing style, they should belong to another Tianluo sect's disciples.

Seeing Gu Zheng looking down the mountain, Elder Gao immediately said: "The two people who are going up the mountain now belong to the disciples of the Green Sky Conch Sect. His name is Su Hong."

"What are you whispering about? If you have something to say, say it quickly. After the referee goes up the mountain, you can't whisper to each other anymore." Xie Ying said in a strange tone.

"Don't worry, I know the rules!" Elder Gao replied to Xie Ying angrily, and then his eyes showed worry: "Although the eleven branches of the Tianluo Sect seem to be enemies, in the past two years, the Green Sky Conch Sect and the The Huang Tianluo faction is relatively close!"

Elder Gao's words made Gu Zheng frowned slightly, after all Xie Ying was a disciple of Huang Tianluo Sect.

"Junior Xie, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be on the top of the mountain!"

Su Hong greeted Xie Ying from afar.

"What a coincidence!"

Xie Ying smiled, but didn't say much.

However, Su Hong's brows were slightly frowned, and the slightly oppressive atmosphere around him, as well as the people's gazes, made him feel a little weird.

Su Hong didn't ask any further questions. He found a table and sat down, and shouted into the awning: "Mr. Zhou, two bowls of cold shrimp!"

"okay!"

Lao Zhou's response was still the same as before, and he quickly brought over three bowls of cold shrimp.

"You're lucky, I made a brand new kind of cold shrimp today. Try the original cold shrimp or the new cold shrimp!"

Lao Zhou sent his cold shrimp and Gu Zheng's cold shrimp to Su Hong who was the first to go up the mountain.

"Mr. Zhou also created cold shrimp? It's really good! But I think your signature cold shrimp is already very delicious."

Su Hong smiled, and opened the lid of Gu Zheng's bowl of cold shrimp, his eyes widened immediately.

"This this,"

Su Hong stuttered, and as for Xie Ying, Jiang An and the others, they all had shock written all over their faces.

"Is this really cold shrimp?"

"Isn't this really cold shrimp?"

"Is this a painting?"

Su Hong muttered to himself, the spoon he picked up was still refusing to drop it.

The cold prawns in the bowl do not have ice cubes, but they are still slightly chilly. On the whole, it really looks like a painting.

Different from the traditional cold shrimp, half of the cold shrimp made by Guzheng is paste, and there are two kinds of colors.

The pure white cold shrimps are on one side of the bowl, one by one closely next to each other, with a black 'black plum fruit' embedded in it.

On the other side of the bowl is a black paste, which is also the soup of cold shrimp, made from rice milk and coconut milk, and dyed with 'black plum fruit'. On the paste, there is a white candied 'Jade Cherry' inlaid.

"Mr. Zhou, do you really want me to eat this bowl of cold shrimp that looks like a Tai Chi picture?"

Su Hong didn't dare and couldn't bear to do it. For the first time in his life, he felt a feeling similar to worship and awe towards a kind of food. Also because of this unique bowl of cold shrimp, his address to Lao Zhou changed from "you" to "you"!

"eat!"

Lao Zhou's expression was extremely complicated, including shock, excitement, and loss.

"good!"

Su Hong responded, as if he had made up his mind, he stretched out his spoon to dig cold shrimp, but his eyes widened again.

The part of the original paste was affected by the temperature and changed, almost completely turning into soup within three breaths.

The solidified color is black, but after turning into soup, it turns dark purple again. The cold shrimps that were crowded together scattered, and the diced coconut meat pressed under the cold shrimps also floated up.

The change in the cold shrimp is entirely due to the power of the "natural water" that Gu Zheng left in the bowl.

The power of 'Natal Water' is only for cooling, and the time was well calculated by Gu Zheng. Almost when Su Hong opened the bowl, the power of 'Natal Water' began to fade naturally.

This moment of delay, without the continuous cooling of the 'Original True Water', the original paste melted naturally, restoring the 'shrimp-water fusion' that the cold shrimp should have.

"Amazing! This junior doesn't know what to say anymore, this, this is definitely a masterpiece!"

Su Hong extended his thumb to Lao Zhou, his eyes were full of admiration, he was not surprised that the ointment melted at the right time, except admiration. After all, the internal strength of the cold attribute can also do this, but it needs to calculate the time well.

"What a wonderful treat!"

After taking a mouthful of cold shrimp, Su Hong's face was full of surprise while feeling emotional.

Seeing Su Hong like this, Xie Ying's last illusion was shattered, and he frowned and implemented the backup plan.

"Brother Su, don't be surprised, I'm Xie Ying! After eating this bowl of cold shrimp, you also eat another bowl of cold shrimp. Then you tell Lao Zhou that although the newly made cold shrimp is good, you still like it." The original flavor of cold shrimp, you think the original flavor of cold shrimp is the best, as long as you say so, I will thank you very much today!"

Sound transmission into secrets was originally a means that could only be available in the stage of transforming gods. The reason why it was available before Gu Zheng was because of the help of Qi Ling. But now, Xie Ying, who was in the late stage of the third level, was able to use sound transmission to enter secrets. His mental strength was different from ordinary people, which was enough to make him worthy of being an elite of the Huang Tianluo faction.

Being able to transmit sound into secrets is the basis for Xie Ying to dare to bet with Gu Zheng! But what Xie Ying didn't know was that his voice had clearly appeared in Gu Zheng's mind since he started sound transmission into the secret.

"What's going on here?" Gu Zheng asked.

"It's just a small trick! Fortunately, his cultivation base is too low, and the distance is so close. Otherwise, although I can eavesdrop on the content of the sound transmission, it is impossible to transfer the sound transmission completely. .” Qi Ling said proudly.

"What do you mean? You mean that Su Hong didn't hear the sound transmission originally intended for Su Hong?" Gu Zheng laughed in his heart.

"That's right, only the two of us heard it." Qi Ling also smiled.

A bowl of cold shrimp was quickly eaten up by Su Hong, and when he put down the bowl, Su Hong's face was full of unfinished business.

"Old Zhou, this cold shrimp is really delicious!"

"I never knew that coconut milk and coconut meat are a perfect match with cold shrimp! Did you process this coconut milk? Did you add anything to it? Why is the taste so mellow and sweet?"

"Besides the ingenious soup, the cold shrimp tastes really smooth and delicious! By the way, how long did it take you to make this cold shrimp? It's like a small glutinous rice ball. There are holes in the belly, but on the outside But it is not contaminated at all! However, this is a small cold shrimp, not a big glutinous rice ball! How do you always do this? I guess it takes a lot of time to put ingredients into the cold shrimp. ?”

"Also, you've worked so hard all the time, and the cold shrimp was actually made into the shape of a shrimp by you. This is really fun and interesting!"

A bowl of cold shrimp made Su Hong feel as excited as a child celebrating the New Year. He only cared about expressing his emotions, completely ignoring Lao Zhou's twitching face.

Finally, after Su Hong finished speaking, he looked at Lao Zhou with pleading eyes: "Old Zhou, can you give me another bowl of the newly made cold shrimp?"

"Old Zhou, give me a bowl too!"

The people who were traveling with Su Hong also hurriedly spoke. Originally, he ate deliciously, but when Su Hong started to eat, he was completely attracted by curiosity, and he forgot to move his mouth at all! During Su Hong's feasting, he felt a kind of enjoyment of tasting the supreme delicacy! Now that Su Hong has finished eating, he no longer wants to eat the mediocre cold shrimp in his own bowl.

The corners of Lao Zhou's mouth twitched, and he struggled to squeeze out two words: "No."

Lao Zhou is a person who is willing to gamble and admit defeat. As long as Gu Zheng really cooks better than him, even if Jiang An loses, he will not feel too regretful. But even a person who is willing to gamble and admit defeat can't stand the praise of others so arrogantly. This kind of praise is more uncomfortable than direct satire.

"Okay! What a pity." Su Hong sighed.

"Senior brother Su, don't forget, Elder Zhou wants you to taste it to see which cold shrimp is more delicious!"

Xie Ying, who was drenched in sweat, finally couldn't help it, and said something that violated the rules.

During the time when Su Hong tasted the cold shrimp, Xie Ying transmitted voice to Su Hong more than once, but the other party just turned a deaf ear.

"Would you like to have a bowl of cold shrimp too?"

Miao Miao, who had been very quiet all this time, appeared beside Xie Ying at some point, and put her little hand on Xie Ying's arm seemingly casually. Xie Ying suddenly found that he had lost the ability to speak, and even his eyelids wanted to Can't do it with a blink.

Su Hong frowned. He felt that the surrounding atmosphere was weird, but he instantly woke up from the shock brought by the cold shrimp. He frowned, looking at the bowl of cold shrimp that Lao Zhou made in front of him, as if his eyes were attracted, he was stunned.

"That guy Xie Ying is really hateful, a hint from him may make things change!" Qi Ling said bitterly.

"It is very possible that Su Hong is also an elite disciple, and the atmosphere at the scene is inevitably a little weird. It is not surprising that he would think too much. However, Xie Ying has broken the rules. No matter what Su Hong's final answer is, the loser It's Xie Ying and the others. But this Xie Ying, I won't let him go easily." Gu Zheng said indifferently.

"Yes, don't let him go easily!" Qi Ling sneered.

Before making everyone wait for too long, the sound of a spoon passing through the soup bowl sounded, and Su Hong took a spoonful of cold shrimp and put it into his mouth.

When tasting the cold prawns, Su Hong had a serious expression on his face. After taking a bite of the cold prawns, he put down the spoon.

"Mr. Zhou, this bowl of cold prawns is better than the ones you made before, but there is no comparison with 'Tai Chi cold prawns'!" Su Hong said with a wry smile.

"call……"

"thump!"

"Why!"

In an instant, someone let out a sigh of relief, someone sat down on the bench, and someone sighed.

"Okay, the game is over now, do you have anything to say?"

Even if the gamblers don't want to hear it anymore, the voice of Gu Zheng still rang out.

"Uncle Zhou?"

Jiang An looked at Lao Zhou with a mournful face.

"If you lose, you lose. There's nothing to talk about! In fact, we should have already guessed the ending when we saw Master Gu making cold shrimp. This is unwillingness, and it's a fluke!" Lao Zhou said with emotion.

Jiang An didn't say much, although the bet was quite a lot, it couldn't compare to the disappointment in his heart. According to a third party, the cold shrimp he was proud of was not comparable to the cold shrimp made by Gu Zheng. Sexuality, this kind of blow was too heavy, and it was so heavy that he couldn't bear it for a while.

Throwing the bet on Gu Zheng's table, Jiang An took the disciples of the Heitian Luo Sect and left straight away.

"and yours?"

Gu Zheng stared into Xie Ying's eyes with cold eyes.
