The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

"Thank you very much. Mr. Laudulav is the only one who supplies the knights." After saluting to Duraf, Noelle raised his hand to signal Duraf to look at Xia Yu who was standing aside. "This is Xia Yu, a very good chef. The purpose of Mr. Xia Yu's visit this time is to obtain direct meat delivery supplies from Qingquan Town for his store."

"Oh? Do you want to buy directly from the source? Little brother, you are quite discerning." After praising Xia Yu, Duraf, who scratched the cat ears on his head, seemed a little embarrassed.

"Although the larger the order, the more craftsmanship will be brought to the town, but it may be more troublesome recently. Because these two or three months are exactly the breeding period for wild boars and fish, we must be prohibited from doing this as hunters. Hunt for a period of time to ensure their numbers.”

"There are supply quotas, but they are usually used as backup quotas for Mondstadt to be supplied to the Goethe Hotel, butcher shops in the market, and various restaurants in Mondstadt... If the hunting ban period is over, there will definitely be no problem. ." After explaining, Duraf looked at Xia Yu with apologetic eyes, but he did not directly express his rejection.

"Is that so?" Unexpectedly, there would be a shortage of meat supply during the hunting ban period. The not-so-good luck made Xia Yu a little distressed. But now, in order to raise the little black dragon, it takes two or three months for the stall to How can you do it without meat that meets your own quality requirements?

Xia Yu, who decided to fight for it, said: "Mr. Duraf, the spare quota means that this part is not included in their original order quantity, but is to cope with emergencies, right? Then I can use this part of the spare quota Do you want to fight for it?"

"That's true..." Durav, who lowered his head and stroked his goatee on his chin, fell into deep thought. After a while, the hunter leader's frown relaxed and he seemed to have come up with a solution.

"The quality of the meat produced in Qingquan Town is considered to be the best in the entire Mondstadt area. Since you are also the chef who runs the store, let your cooking speak for itself."

Looking up at the sun that had begun to set in the west, Durav said to Xia Yu: "It will be dinner time in just one or two hours. For dinner, you will have one dish of poultry, one dish of animal meat, and one dish of fish. Come and convince me and the judges I brought, what do you think?”

"Of course it's no problem. Isn't the chef's job to satisfy the dining customers?" An eager look appeared on Xia Yu's face. Xia Yu showed strong confidence, which made Durav feel very appetizing for a while.

"Okay! That's cool! I'll take you to choose the meat to use and visit the place used for cooking at night."

Chapter 45 Test and chance encounter, the little cook meets again

Follow the stone steps and turn left to arrive at a small, family-style restaurant. Although the double-story tile-roofed hut is much simpler than the buildings in Mondstadt, it still feels like home.Next to the iron pot outside the house, a woman who seemed to be the boss's wife was cooking a large pot of stew. The mellow meat smell immediately aroused Xia Yu's appetite.

This woman who is cooking is an expert!

When he looked closer, Xia Yu, who saw the food in the pot, couldn't help but give her a thumbs up for her classic combination.Matsutake and whole chicken were put into the bubbling iron pot, except for the ginger slices used to remove the fishy smell. No other spices were added that would affect the taste.The clear light brown soup base also fully proves that this slightly fat woman has done a good job in the pre-processing process.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Duraf, the leader of the hunter? The two people next to you are also here to dine, right?" The middle-aged woman who noticed the approach of the three people showed a smile, and when she found out that the person following Xia Yu was When Noelle was welcomed by all of Mondstadt, the smile on the middle-aged woman's face became even more enthusiastic.

"Welcome to Qingquan Town, do you want to try the innovative cooking combinations of the meat-making master Brock?" Brock, who recommended the dishes to the three, opened the door, and the space on the first floor of the house was renovated. There are four or five round tables. Except for the stairs to the second floor and the indoor kitchen, the entire first floor has been modified to facilitate the dining of Qingquan Town residents.

Perhaps it was also because he smelled the mellow aroma of the soup in the pot that Durav's originally serious face became much lighter. Durav, who smiled and patted his chest, said: "Of course! Today's dinner is Let me try some of Chef Brock's new dishes, and then get me a barbecue steak..."

"Wait a minute, I almost forgot about the real thing." Durav, who suddenly woke up, pointed to Xia Yu, who was waiting quietly, and then continued to explain to Bullock: "This tall guy is a chef like you. , his newly opened store in Mondstadt wants direct supply of meat from Qingquan Town, but you have also understood recently..."

"Of course I know. After all, I have stayed in Qingquan Town for so many years, so I am aware of the hunting ban period. I don't think it was because I could buy the freshest meat as soon as possible when I settled in Qingquan Town." Recalling the past. There was a nostalgic look on Bullock's face. After thinking for a while, Bullock said: "So, you want to test his skills here, right?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, after all, your place has the best kitchen conditions in Qingquan Town." Duraf, with a smile on his face, patted Xia Yu on the back, and then continued: "Xia Yu, this is the one who worked in Qingquan a few years ago. Ms. Bullock, a meat master who lives in the town, is famous throughout Mondstadt for her meat dishes. At the same time, she is also another judge I plan to invite this time."

"Hello, Ms. Bullock." Xia Yu shook hands with the other party and could clearly feel the thick calluses on the other party's hands. It was obvious that this was a chef who had studied cooking for many years.Then Xia Yu discovered that the other party's eyes also showed surprise when he looked at him.

Perhaps he was also aware of the certificate that Xia Yu had as a chef. Instead of embarrassing Xia Yu, Bullock slightly put away his proud demeanor.After looking back and forth between Xia Yu and Durav for a few times, Bullock finally locked his eyes on Xia Yu and said: "Young man, Duraf made any request. You can just use the ingredients and seasonings I have here. If It’s better if you bring your own, I hope you can serve dishes that meet your expectations soon.”

"Thank you very much. I need a whole duck of about three kilograms that has been slaughtered, stripped of its feathers and internal organs, and a piece of plum meat from the pig closest to the back neck. As for fish... Are there crucian carp here? "Xia Yu asked Bullock and saw that the other person's face was full of confusion.

"Duck and pork are both ready-made. It seems that you also know how delicious the fat and lean parts of the plum blossom head are evenly mixed together! But this crucian carp... why use it? Choose the one with spiny meat for easy consumption. Wouldn’t the plump bass be better?”

Although crucian carp is delicious, the meat has few thorns and is full of small thorns. Whether it is made into grilled fish or roasted fish, Bullock has tried it. The feeling of being tasteless and discarded like chicken ribs finally made her give up eating it. This fish is extremely troublesome to eat.

In the entire Qingquan Town, only Durav can easily remove all the small spines of crucian carp, but...because Mr. Durav is among the judges, this choice is indeed feasible, as it is a dish that he can taste. It looks like there's one missing... But then again, this tall guy's choices are quite challenging.

The fishy smell of duck meat is much stronger than that of chicken. It is really difficult to deal with this smell without certain skills.As an expert in meat production, pork neck, my favorite part, is one of the main reasons why I came to live in Qingquan Town. Therefore, the evaluation requirements for pork plum blossoms will inevitably be raised to a higher level.

"Don't worry, the three dishes will definitely satisfy you. Also...if you have any, can you prepare about a liter of beer for me, I will use it when cooking later." gave the last request. Xia Yu startled Duraf who was waiting on the side.

He plans to use the beer for cooking! ?I've never heard of it being possible to do this... Although he was very confused, Durav nodded.

"No problem. Let's list down what else needs to be prepared. I'd like to see what new tricks you can come up with."

————————————————————————

Cut the garlic and onions into small pieces, then add the seafood sauce and barbecued pork sauce from Liyue purchased from the grocery store, as well as soy sauce and red fermented bean curd. Mix a whole egg and stir the sauce thoroughly. Xia Yu looked at Du The rose wine that Rafe brought.

This kind of wine brewed from rice produced in the Liyue area is rare in the Mondstadt area, which is accustomed to fruit wine and beer. It seems that Mr. Durav really spent a lot of money in order to be able to see his craftsmanship. "Don't worry, Mr. Durav, I only use a small spoonful to add aroma to the meat, and I won't use you too much rose wine."

Since there is no refrigerator now, it is not possible to marinate the meat overnight. Considering this situation, Xia Yu deliberately made the meat a little thinner than usual.After mixing the sauce and pork thoroughly and setting them aside for later use, Xia Yu turned his attention to the duck that was neatly processed on the operating table.

Yes, the reason for coming to beer is to make the classic beer duck, because currently in the Mondstadt area, you can only buy various types of peppers through grocery stores in Liyue.So on weekdays, Xia Yu would always carry some chili peppers for emergencies, but today he just needed them.

After coming outside and lighting the firewood, Xia Yu, who was not in a hurry to cut the duck into pieces, first used an iron rod to place the whole duck on the blazing fire. The grease sizzled and exploded from time to time in the high temperature. Pao made Durav on the side look a little dissatisfied.

No matter how amateur he is in cooking, Durav, who has watched Bullock make meat dishes all year round, also knows that the act of grilling ducks on the fire without adding anything is definitely a pre-processing step, that is, He said that Xia Yu was dissatisfied with his failure to prepare properly.

"Mr. Xia Yu, I personally took care of this duck for you. I can guarantee that every process of bleeding and plucking is perfect. Why do you have to put it on the fire to roast it?" The words revealed. Durav, who was a little moody, thought that he had not been able to escape Xia Yu's observation.

But now was not the best time to answer. Xia Yu took the whole duck off the iron rack while he was concentrating on turning the duck over to ensure that every part of its skin was burned until it turned brown.Then he explained: "I am naturally confident in Mr. Durav's craftsmanship, but what I need to clean are deeper things, the impurities and glands accumulated in the gaps between the duck's feathers and epidermis."

"As long as this step is done properly, the weird smell in the duck meat can be reduced a lot." While doing popular science, Xia Yu quickly slaughtered the duck and started making beer duck.

Boil water, wash, oil, and sauté the prepared ingredients and spices, then add beer, a large pot of red soup, and the aroma that can be seen after the lid is closed. The hot breath made the observing Bullock see some clues.

It is one of the production methods in Liyue.

There are a variety of dishes in Liyue. Some of them pursue the aroma of the ingredients in the same way as Mondstadt's mainstream cuisine, and some use various spices and condiments to season the food to make the food more delicious.Among the two, if you ask Bullock which cooking method he advocates more, Bullock will definitely choose the former without hesitation.

The reason is very simple. High-quality, fresh ingredients only need simple seasoning and cooking, and the taste itself is quite good.And the more types of seasonings, the better. If the addition of seasonings and spices is not done properly, certain overly strong flavors are likely to mask the originally delicious part of the meat and have a negative effect.

The two dishes this young chef has prepared so far are meat dishes that focus on seasoning... and one of them is his favorite pork belly!It seems that the review requirements should be as strict as possible. If you feel dissatisfied with anything, you must raise it as soon as possible.

And the crucian carp he was talking about...he actually used crucian carp without joking?The white and tender cubes were the tender and moderate tofu that I originally wanted to try adding to the soup. There were also a small amount of shiitake mushrooms placed aside.

Add the melted lard to the crucian carp and fry it until both sides are brown. Then add the boiling hot water and add the thinly sliced ​​mushrooms to the pot. The boiling firepower turns the water into liquid very quickly. A pot of milky white fish soup filled with aroma.

Reduce the firewood and reduce the firepower, then add thickly sliced ​​tofu and simmer slowly. Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief after completing the preparation process of the two dishes. "Mr. Durav, Ms. Bullock, the pickling of plum pork may take a certain amount of time. What is the latest time you can accept?" Xia Yu, who was asking the two people, was calculating rapidly in his mind.

Since he can ensure that the juice in the meat is not lost when grilling the meat, Xia Yu has sufficient practice and summary in various aspects such as the thickness of the plum meat and the time required to bake it.

"Time? In fact, let me taste the two dishes you have cooked first so I can get a general idea. As for the pork, if possible, just make it before tonight. It would be even better if it can be served with wine and food. !”

Xia Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Duraf's answer.In this case, there is only one thing left that I need to complete to survive.

But sometimes, just rushing doesn't work.Especially the marinated honey barbecued pork.A few hours of pickling is naturally not as effective as mixing it with condiments and putting it in the refrigerator for one night, but in the current environment, the method Xia Yu chose can be said to be the most compromise and feasible method at present. .

————————————————————————

While Xia Yu was waiting for the beer duck and mushroom, tofu and crucian carp soup to be completed, the hunter who was originally assigned to guard the wild boar sanctuary in the woodland came back, and the two people following him who looked a little gloomy were very familiar to Xia Yu.

It was Ying and Paimon who had been solving the Tevalin problem recently, and Xiangling who had had a cooking exchange with him.Judging from the awkward smiles on the faces of the two people and the mascot, they must have made a mistake.

"Mr. Durav, someone broke into our wild boar sanctuary, and I brought them here." After hearing what the hunter said, Xia Yu, who was a little surprised, never expected that they would catch wild boars by themselves.At the same time, Xiangling looked a little excited, seemingly because she saw herself cooking.

"We meet again, Xia Yu, what are you cooking? Can you prepare one for me to try?" When talking about this, Xiang Ling, who was startled, seemed to have remembered something. Before Xia Yu could wait, After replying, Xiangling continued: "Mr. Xia Yu, do you still remember the wild boar meat and grilled fish you made as a treat when we last met? After thinking about it in the past few days, my dishes are almost ready!"

"Oh? Then let me try it." Xia Yu, who smiled and answered Xiangling, motioned to Xiangling to look at Dulav, and then said: "This time I fought for the dishes for my shop. It’s an interview with the supply channel, so whether we can add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to the food tasting later depends on what Mr. Durav says..."

What Xia Yu never expected was that after seeing Xiangling, Dulav became very excited. The middle-aged man who kept nodding his head and his originally serious face turned slightly red due to excitement. . "Of course! This is Xiang Ling, the chef of Liyue Wanmin Hall!" Duraf agreed readily, and was stunned by Ying, who had been watching the whole process.

In the end, is this Liyue girl who pulled herself into the grass and looked a little unreliable really a quite famous chef?

Chapter 46 Paimon & Ying: Xiangling! Just agree!

Compared to Xia Yu who was cooking, Xiangling who came to Qingquan Town seemed to be more welcomed by Dulav. He had completely abandoned the idea of ​​preaching to the two of them just now and came to Dulav in front of Xiangling. With a look of excitement on his face, he then said to Xiang Ling, who was looking at Xia Yu's cooking: "Chef Xiang Ling, can you help us promote these high-quality meats in Qingquan Town?"

Although different prey species are prohibited from hunting every few months, there are still one or two months when the rapid growth of prey species requires hunters to hunt in large quantities. Therefore, the meat during these periods is often There will be a certain situation of supply exceeding demand.

Year-round trade allows Durav to basically estimate the demand for meat in Mondstadt. Even if the extra meat is processed through various aging methods, for the residents of Mondstadt who like fresh meat, the matured meat The sales and reputation of meat are always slightly lower than that of fresh meat.

An excellent hunter leader needs to consider the lives of those in the village who are willing to work hard. This is the meaning and value of being a leader. After many investigations, Dulav set his sights on Liyue, a neighboring country.

The pursuit of food is somewhat different from Mondstadt. In Liyue, there are quite a few ways to make cured meat, cured meat, and air-dried meat. The processing of sausages and hams is also different from Mondstadt.The semi-finished products they made need time to become delicious. In other words, the time problem of transporting the meat from Qingquan Town to Liyue, which took about a week, was solved.

Therefore, as long as chefs from Liyue can be attracted to Qingquan Town to order high-quality meat for the production and processing of these semi-finished meat products, Qingquan Town's revenue will inevitably reach a higher level.

And now is the best opportunity. Xiang Ling, the daughter of the owner of 'Wan Min Tang', the most respected by ordinary people in Liyue Port, and also a famous chef in Liyue, has come to Qingquan Town!Compared with the loss of a wild boar, if we can really promote Qingquan Town's dishes, what is this little loss?

"Huh? Has my reputation spread to Mondstadt?" Unexpectedly, the other party not only failed to hold me accountable, but actually negotiated with me in a respectful manner.Xiangling, who felt a little weird, scratched her head in embarrassment.

Help them promote meat... The little cook, who was holding her chin with one hand, began to think about this issue. Xiang Ling, who frowned slightly, first turned her attention to the fish soup and Black pot that Xia Yu was simmering over low heat. He looked at the stewed chicken in the bowl, and then looked at the wild boar being marinated in an unknown sauce.

Well, if you include the wild boar that he and Ying caught in the forest, the quality of the meat supplied by Qingquan Town is indeed among the best.But the problem is that the purpose of my visit to Mondstadt this time is to find inspiration for cooking. Inspiration is an extremely mysterious thing. If meat is used as the base, can it really be called finding inspiration?

Moreover, he likes to put everything into the pot when he is cooking. Can Mr. Durav really accept his unbridled ideas?After thinking for a while, although Xiangling herself felt a little pity, she still shook her head resolutely and rejected Dulav's request.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Durav, I usually only think about how to make delicious dishes. I really haven't done anything like restricting ingredients for cooking promotion."

The answer from Xiangling made Durav, who thought he was sure of it, a little dumbfounded.Looking at Xiang Ling who had clearly made up his mind, Durav couldn't figure it out and said, "But... isn't meat a very common raw material in cooking... This shouldn't be considered a restriction, right?"

"It's because my creative inspiration has been limited~ For example, if I want to add slime slime to my cooking, Mr. Durav, do you think you can accept it?" I feel like I and Durav are not on the same page. Xiangling immediately explained. After listening to Xiangling's explanation, Durav, who had a general understanding, also fell into silence.

"This..."

"My cooking cannot let raw materials limit my inspiration! Otherwise, the dishes I create will only make me feel boring."

The scene where the conversation completely collapsed fell into silence. Except for Xiang Ling, who became stronger because of the talk about cooking creation, an awkward atmosphere surrounded Durav and Ying, who was Xiang Ling's "accomplice", as if being frozen by a tree. The condensed air made Ying scream in her heart.

Why is this happening? ?Aren’t we here to apologize?As a result, the atmosphere of apology was interrupted by Mr. Durav himself, and what he considered to be a mutually beneficial and win-win situation between powerful forces was shattered by Xiangling's unique persistence...

Doesn’t this make both sides unsure of how to speak?Just when Ying didn't know what to say, the aroma exploding in the direction of the stove was like a powerful magnet that attracted everyone's attention. He opened the lid of the pot and began to add the final easy-cooked ingredients. Xia Yu, who added garlic sprouts and other seasonings to add flavor, thickened the soup in the pot and brought out the first dish.

"The beer duck is ready. In my hometown, this is a classic delicacy that can be eaten with both rice and wine. It may taste a little spicy for everyone, but I guarantee that it will definitely impress your taste buds." After placing a large bowl of beer duck on the dining table, Xia Yu returned to the stove and served mushroom, crucian carp and tofu soup.

The brown duck meat wrapped in red and shiny fat is paired with emerald green garlic sprouts and bright red peppers, which is eye-catching in terms of color and smell. The spicy smell is even if you are not used to spicy food. Durav and Bullock felt slightly uncomfortable, but the slight movement of their throats caused by the instinctive swallowing of saliva revealed their inner desires clearly.

There is also the milky white mushroom, tofu and crucian carp soup. Compared with the spicy beer duck that requires a trial and challenge, this fish soup that also smells delicious is more attractive to both of them. , especially Durav, who has the bloodline of Ketzlein. The fluffy brown cat ears on the head of the sturdy middle-aged man even began to sway gently because of the joy and excitement in his mood.

"Wait...beer duck? Does this mean that beer is added to this dish?" Xiangling, who heard the name of the dish, never expected that Xia Yu added beer to the pot.The reason is also very simple. When making some stir-fry dishes, Xiangling once tried to use beer instead of rice wine to remove the fishy smell of the dishes.

Unexpectedly, all these methods had the opposite effect. Instead of making the food taste delicious, the addition of beer gave it a bit of the unique bitterness of beer.After trying it two or three times, Xiangling listed beer as one of the most difficult types of raw materials to control in his menu.Therefore, when she heard that beer was added to the roasted duck meat, Xiang Ling's eyes immediately straightened when she looked at the beer duck.

"To be precise, I didn't add beer, but I didn't add water after the production officially started. The 'water' I used to roast the duck was all beer." Xia Yu's answer was like a bombshell dropped on the fragrance. Ling's heart.

What? ! !Since she was not invited, Xiangling could only watch Dulav and the middle-aged woman beside him who were beginning to taste the food. Although they both seemed a little cautious when they took the first bite, they accepted the spicy food. After tasting it, the two people who obviously speeded up had already approved of this dish just by looking at it.

His face turned red due to the spiciness, and beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping down his chin. The two people who started eating seemed to be unable to satisfy their knives and forks, so they put the bone-in roast duck meat in. After getting into their own plates, the two of them stretched out their hands to grab the bone part, put the duck meat into their mouths, and started tearing it apart.

The tender and juicy duck meat showed a slight texture when it was bitten open, which made it look extremely attractive. The oil dripped from their fingers to the palms of their hands. Du, who didn't care about the image. Rafe and Brock were even obsessed with it to the point where they didn't want to let go of the gravy on their palms.

After licking the palms of their hands and squeezing the lingering fragrance on their fingers, the two of them panted heavily as if possessed. They took the duck meat out of the basin again, put it to their mouths, and started tearing it apart. ...

"Wow! It looks delicious..." The two of them seemed to be in a daze and didn't care about anything else. Paimon, who was floating in the air, couldn't bear it anymore and gently poked Yingying. Paimon's eyes on his shoulder revealed longing. When he saw Ying's eyes turning to him, Paimon asked softly: "Ying, they must not be able to finish all the food, right? You can ask us, too. Want to taste a little?"

After wiping the saliva that flowed out unconsciously from the corner of her mouth, Ying, who finally woke up, responded to Paimon with an extremely helpless look.Ying sighed softly and said: "I think so too, but Paimon, think about it, if you encounter a large portion of food that is so delicious that you can't stop eating it, and it may be extremely difficult to have the opportunity to eat it in the future. If so, would you share it with others?"

"Uh..." It was as if a petrification spell had been cast on him. Paimon, who even realized that it was impossible, felt that his future was gloomy.Although there is a possibility that Xia Yu can make another portion for himself and Ying later, but in that case, he won’t be able to taste it right away!

No...not right!There should be a glimmer of hope!After reacting, one person and one mascot looked at each other and then turned their gazes to the side, Xiangling, who was also watching the two anxiously. If Xiangling could agree to their request, then Qingquan would be the beneficiary. The town hunter leader Dulav will definitely let himself and his party join in the meal!Wouldn't the problem be solved in this way?

"Xiang Ling~!"

————————————————————————

The number of judges who tasted the dishes was successfully increased from two to five. In addition to the duck bones and fish bones piled on the table, it was fully proved that the beer duck and mushroom, tofu and crucian carp soup were abundant. popular.

Noelle, who had long been accustomed to the exaggerated behavior of diners, handed a glass of water to Xia Yu who had finished his work. The little maid, who was secretly glad that she could eat different kinds of delicacies every day, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and said to Xia Yu. What the third dish would taste like before he even started, but Noelle felt that he could already guess how things would end.

Since he also knew a lot about cooking, Noelle was also very curious about the bold approach of using beer instead of water for cooking. "Xia Yu, why does the slightly bitter taste of beer still make them fight so fiercely when they taste duck meat?" After asking Xia Yu, Xiang Ling, who was also curious about this topic, was also confused by how this meant to her. Questions that I couldn't even figure out attracted attention.

Not only did the duck meat just not taste bitter, the combination of fermented malt aroma and the dual spiciness of dry spicy and slightly sour spicy made the duck meat taste more mellow.In addition, the processing of the duck meat is also quite good. Even if you chew it slowly and taste all the juices and flavors attached to the meat, you can't taste the fishy smell of the duck meat remaining in your mouth.

"This involves some special ways of using light bitterness." As if to confirm whether there are some items in this world, Xia Yu asked Xiang Ling, who was looking at him from the side: "Xiang Ling, over there in Liyue Is there any Chinese medicinal material called Angelica dahurica?"

"Baizhi?" Xiangling, who seemed to be reminded of some bad memories, nodded with lingering fear. "You can buy this kind of medicinal material in Bubulu, but the bitter taste of the medicinal material after being made into dry tablets is too strong..." Although he didn't explain it to the end, just from the awkward look on Xiangling's face It can be seen from the look on her face that this little cook has definitely tasted it.

"But the bitter taste of Angelica dahurica is the best deodorizing material for the unique fishy smell of duck meat. As long as the amount used is strictly controlled, the fishy smell of duck meat can be suppressed to the same level as this beer duck. degree."

"Similarly, when brewing beer, the crushed malt and wheat bran will also produce a similar slightly bitter smell during the cooking, saccharification and subsequent fermentation process. It is somewhat different from the simple bitterness. The aroma of malt can also make the duck The meat becomes more delicious." Considering that he didn't know how to explain to Xiangling how 'MSG', a condiment mainly based on sodium glutamate, brings umami flavor, Xia Yu had no choice but to simply pass it on.

"Oh, why don't you comment on that crucian carp soup? It tastes so delicious!" Although he couldn't understand the conversation between the chefs, Durav still brought up the fish soup that he fell in love with instantly. , At the same time, Duraf looked at Xia Yu with eyes filled with gratitude.

Relying on the opportunity to taste the food, Bullock and Xiangling have a cooking showdown. If Bullock wins, Xiangling will not only have to add Bullock's favorite dishes to the menu of Wanmintang, but also have to add to the menu of Qingquan Town. Promotional work on high-quality meat.

The source of all good things is this young man with astonishing cooking skills. Dulav looked at Xia Yu with more and more pleasing eyes. Even before he tasted the third beast meat dish that had not yet started, Duraf Rafe had already given a passing rating in his mind.

The rest is all up to you, Brock!

Chapter 47 Ying: You have to think of some way to increase his favorability.

With nothing to do, Xia Yu originally planned to wait for the barbecued pork to be marinated, but after thinking about it for a while, he changed his mind.

Unexpectedly, Xiangling's reputation spread to Qingquan Town!In this case, how strong will Xiangling's cooking talent be?What interests Xia Yu even more is that Xiang Ling herself has said that what she likes most is adding all kinds of good ideas to her dishes when she is creating them.

You know, exploring new cuisine is not that simple. Even if you don’t consider the warming, cold, and tonic properties of food, the most basic taboos on mixing ingredients must be remembered.Secondly, the cooking method chosen, the characteristics of each ingredient, and the selection of seasonings all have certain considerations.

If you want to create new dishes, the accumulation of experience brought by time is essential.Even Xia Yu can't pat his chest now and say that he can directly make the food he needs when he gets new types of raw materials. So how did Xiangling do it?

"Can I go with you to see the selection process of raw materials?" Xia Yu, who was very curious about the creation process of Xiangling's materials, opened his mouth and saw that the other party's expression was happy at first, and then he seemed to have remembered something, and his face was a little embarrassed. Xiang Ling turned her attention to the pork being marinated on Xia Yu's operating table.Although Xiang Ling hadn't spoken yet, Xia Yu already knew what the other party was worried about.

"Don't worry, the meat of this dish originally needs to be marinated in a low temperature environment for at least one day to fully absorb the flavor before being grilled. So even if I want to cook it now, the dishes I make are only It will be a defective product. It’s just..."

If you want barbecued pork to be delicious, you must marinate the sauce for enough time.Even so, in today's climate, waiting for several hours will indeed degrade the quality of the meat.
