"Three Immortals Jiang, it turned out to be Three Immortals Jiang!"
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect, I could still see the Three Immortals in my lifetime!"
"It's so lucky, you can only see the Three Immortals being made, and as one of the judges, I'm about to taste the Three Immortals!"
"Fellow Daoist Luo Jin, do your elders know that you are so annoying? Is this really good?"
Knowing that the dishes that Gu Zheng and Song Xiu wanted were the Three Immortals in Sauce, the crowd who watched were a little overjoyed.
The dish of Jiang Sanxian is very famous in the cultivation world, but Gu Zheng has never made it. He also had the idea of making Jiang Sanxian once, but he has not been able to achieve his wish because of the lack of ingredients. .
The three immortals in sauce are placed in the secular world. To put it bluntly, it is a dish of sauced pork consisting of sauced pork, sauced elbow, and sauced trotters. But in the cultivation world, apart from its more elegant name, the ingredients it uses are also extremely extraordinary.
The ingredients used by Jiang Sanxian are all from a high-level spirit beast called 'Xianyun Pig'. The attack method of this spirit beast is to release a kind of smoke that seriously obstructs people's vision. , is not too easy.
Naturally there is no 'Xianyun Pig' in the real world, but there are Shu Ruins and Kunlun Ruins. After Gu Zheng entered Shu Ruins, he not only fantasized about encountering 'Xianyun Pig', but also asked about the whereabouts of 'Xianyun Pig' Shu Ruins guided the long-mouthed dog, but in the end he still didn't meet him.
"I knew that the dish he was going to cook was Jiang Sanxian. I bet that I asked him to add some 'Xianyun Pork'." Gu Zhengxin said.
"Are you sure?" Qi Ling asked.
"Although I have never cooked the Three Immortals of Sauce, I am the descendant of Tiexian. Based on my understanding of the ingredients, it is not a problem at all to win this dish." Gu Zheng said confidently.
After announcing the dishes to be tried, the people from the Kunlun faction also started preparations. It didn't take long for the stove and other things to be placed in the open space next to Longzhan Square.
"Master Gu, check the kitchen utensils and ingredients. If there are no problems, we can start." Song Xiu said.
"no problem."
Needless to say, Song Xiu, Qi Ling had already checked for Gu Zheng, so Gu Zheng answered very simply.
"Okay, since there is no problem, we can start now, although we didn't say the cooking time in advance, but if one person's dish is too late for another person's dish, the person who was late will still lose! Does Sect Master Gu have anything to say about this?" Song Xiu asked.
"There's nothing to say about this, it's just that the same ingredients are used to make the same food, and the choice of auxiliary ingredients can only be those that use a chopping board, right?" Gu Zheng asked.
"That's right." Song Xiu nodded.
"I see that there are a lot of auxiliary materials on the chopping board. There are no requirements for the use of these auxiliary materials, right? The production methods are also allowed to be somewhat different?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Auxiliary ingredients are originally for auxiliary purposes. If you think it's useless, you don't have to. As for the production method, as long as the ingredients used are those on the chopping board, the dishes you make can be the sauce." Song Xiu said impatiently .
"Okay, let's start!"
Gu Zheng smiled, and the two stood behind a chopping board.
The ingredients for making the three sauces are the same, which are a few pieces of Xianyun pork with skin, two Xianyun pork knuckles, and four Xianyun pig's trotters. As for the accessories, all kinds of spices are also available.
The ingredient grade of Xianyun pork is equal, but the ingredient grade of various spices is a bit uneven. Although it is said that there is no poison and garbage, there are also inferior ones. This is why Gu Zheng just asked Song Xiu if there are any requirements for the use of spices and accessories! Since Song Xiu said that there is no requirement, Gu Zheng will discard any ingredients that are lower than the second-class level and are not necessary for making Jiang Sanxian.
Under normal circumstances, the minimum standard for ingredients such as Xianyun pork, which is rare and rare, will be required by Gu Zheng to be ordinary. But now it’s different, now I’m trying it out with others, such as the Three Immortals of Cooking Sauce, the essential sweet noodle sauce and rock sugar, the grade of their ingredients is only inferior! Under normal circumstances, Guzheng would never allow them to reduce the taste of Xianyun pork, but today's "Jiang San Xian", if there is no sweet noodle sauce and rock sugar, what is made is not Jiang San Xian, it can only be regarded as a stew .
The traditional practice of “Sanxian Sauce” involves roasting all three main ingredients with skins on fire, then soaking them in cold water for a period of time, and then blanching them again, then steaming them in a saucer with Xianyun pig’s trotters. Xianyun pork is fried once, while Xianyun pork knuckle is stewed directly. When the Xianyun pork knuckle is cooked properly, put the steamed Xianyun trotters and fried Xianyun pork together and cook them out of the pot.
The main ingredients provided by Song Xiu have only been roughly processed, so before cooking them, they need to be finely processed again.
I saw that Song Xiu and Gu Zheng both put the meat on the ignited charcoal fire to remove the hair, and the sound of "Zi Zi la la" was heard endlessly.
After completely burning off the remaining fine hairs of the main ingredients, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu put the main ingredients in cold water again.
There wasn't that much time to soak, so the two who put the main ingredients into the cold water used their own methods, and the cold water that was originally clear in the basin instantly turned blood red.
After initially removing the blood, Gu Zheng and Song Xiu put the main ingredients into the pot and blanched water to further remove the blood. After doing all this, the next thing to do is to separate the ingredients.
Song Xiu's way of handling the ingredients separately looks very traditional, but Gu Zheng's is a little different. He first boils the Xianyun pork knuckle in a pot with prepared water, and then puts the pork knuckle that should have been deep-fried. The Xianyun pork was put on the fire and grilled.
Xianyun pork is pork belly. Whether it is traditional deep-fried or roasted in ancient times, the basic purpose is to remove the oil from Xianyun pork.
It's just that when Gu Zheng was baking, he used the water control method to condense all the excess fat together, and at the right time, he collected all the dripping Xianyun lard in a small bowl.
"smell good!"
"Fortunately, it's Xianyun pork. It's just a simple roast that can emit such an appetizing aroma that it makes me hungry."
"I'm fine, what does Master Gu want with that oil?"
In the traditional Sauce Three Immortals, the pork belly has to be deep-fried. Gu Zheng doesn’t know if it’s because Song Xiu didn’t prepare well in a hurry, or because of other reasons. The oil he provided is not the high-quality lard of Xianyun pig. It is a kind of rapeseed oil whose food grade is only inferior, which is why Gu Zheng changed from frying to roasting. As for the oil from the Xianyun pig, Gu Zheng wanted to make the pig's trotters of Jiang Sanxian more layered. He wanted to fry the pig's trotters with oil before steaming them.
Xianyun pork has been roasted. Gu Zheng put some lard he received into the pot. After the oil is hot, he color the pig's trotters and put it into the pot for frying.
The aroma wafts out of the pot, Gu Zheng will fry until both sides are golden, and the bubbling pig's trotters will be served, then brush a layer of sauce on the trotters, and steam them in a cage.
Gu Zheng had already preliminarily processed the three main ingredients separately. He glanced at Song Xiu who was at the side, and saw that Song Xiu had just completed the steps of separate processing.
"I have to say that he has improved during the food competition this time. The processing speed of the ingredients alone is much faster then." Gu Zhengxin said.
"Just from these details, I don't see that he has any certainty of winning. After all, he has used all the auxiliary materials that should be used and what should not be used! From this point alone, the Three Immortals he made , the taste is worse than yours." Qi Ling said.
"I'm also a bit good. I chose two of the three judges, and they both have sworn the oath of the heart demon, so there shouldn't be any problems. So what is Song Xiu's reason for betting on me?" What?" Gu Zheng muttered heartily.
"Master Gu, don't just look at me, be careful that the food you cook will be mushy." Song Xiu snorted coldly at Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, it won't be blurred."
Gu Zheng smiled, and continued to use the fire control formula to fuel the fire, which made the fire even more intense.
Song Xiu didn't say anything else, he was also controlling the fire with his inner strength, and even from the outside, his fire was fiercer than before.
Gu Zheng and Song Xiu are not ordinary chefs, they take much faster time to cook a dish than ordinary people, it doesn't take too long, the ingredients that they handle separately have been prepared, and when the time comes, they have to stew together It's time.
The most important taste of the dish of "Three Immortals with Sauce" is "sauce", and the time used for this sauce is when the three ingredients are put together.
Put the sweet noodle sauce into the oil to make fried sauce. Song Xiu and Gu Zheng did this very quickly. Then pour the sauce into the soup pot where Xianyun pork knuckle was cooked before, put in the other two ingredients, and change it to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
He didn't find anything unusual about Song Xiu before, so Gu Zheng was almost the last step of Jiang Sanxian, so he paid special attention to Song Xiu's actions. I saw that Song Xiu seemed to be inadvertent, but flicked a little bit of black powder into the soup pot.
"It's disgusting!"
Qi Ling, who had also been paying attention to Song Xiu, couldn't help scolding.
"When his younger brother lost to you before, he secretly used flavor-enhancing flowers to enhance the freshness of the dishes. Now, as his elder brother, he said before the game that no auxiliary ingredients should be added in it, but who would have thought that he would do it again? Used auxiliary materials!" Qi Ling said contemptuously.
"What kind of auxiliary materials did Song Xiu use? It doesn't look like flavor-enhancing flowers!" Gu Zheng thought.
"Although he didn't use the flavor-enhancing flower, it has similar effects to the flavor-enhancing flower. A hundred-year-old sauce jar will produce a very disgusting bug. The whole body of this bug is black, and the name is 'Jiangjing'. Sauce Although the essence looks disgusting, it is transformed from the essence of the sauce. After they are roasted and dried by special means, they are ground into powder and put into sauce-flavored dishes, which can double the flavor of the sauce." Qi Ling said bitterly. .
"Xianyun pork itself is very delicious and delicious. It can be regarded as ordinary cooking, and it can make people's lips and teeth fragrant!"
"Song Xiu's cooking skills are good. In such a dish, for the non-professional judges, I, Song Xiu's better cooking skills, don't have much advantage."
"Up to now, Song Xiu has even used something that can enhance the flavor of the sauce. If the flavor of the sauce is raised by this kind of thing, the difference in the taste of the meat is probably not too obvious, and it will be ignored by the non-professional judges! After all, the extraordinary aroma of the sauce can almost make a small difference into a shocking seven meats and eight vegetables."
Gu Zheng analyzed calmly, but he still couldn't think of a way to solve it, and Song Xiu, who thought that the overall situation was settled, looked at Gu Zheng with a leisurely smile.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, everything has advantages and disadvantages. In the eyes of Lord Tiexian, something like 'soy sauce essence' can be regarded as a low-level means of freshness. It is not as good as a flavor-enhancing flower that is only used to increase umami! This In addition to the disgusting things it makes, there is another reason that it cannot stand the test!"
Qi Ling's triumphant voice made Gu Zheng's eyes shine: "So, you have a way to break this situation?"
"Of course there is a way to break the game, but since he is using despicable means, this game cannot be easily broken. Let him fully enjoy the feeling of falling from a high altitude! After all, you want to win him with your ability, which I value very much. I don't allow him to play tricks secretly when you want to be fair!" Qi Ling said bitterly.
Gu Zheng and Song Xiu's Jiang Sanxian came out one after another, the time between them was not too long, and there was no problem.
"Master Gu, according to the order of cooking, your Three Immortal Sauce is already a little cold, should you let the judges taste it first?"
Song Xiu's seemingly considerate statement made Gu Zheng even more disgusted.
First of all, Gu Zheng knew that the weather in Kunlun was very cold. Although Jiang Sanxian was out of the pot, he would not be so stupid as to put it on the chopping board and wait for it to cool.
Secondly, Gu Zheng's Jiang Sanxian seems to be placed in a pot that has been removed from the fire, but the temperature in the pot is under the control of his immortal power, which is enough to keep Jiang Sanxian at a warm level.
Moreover, tasting delicious food is not the first to take advantage of it. The first to be tasted is more likely to be forgotten, especially when there is not much difference in the taste of successive foods.
Looking at Gu Zheng with frowned eyebrows, Song Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Master Gu thinks you are at a disadvantage with my proposal, you can let the judges taste your food and give you a score first."
"It's really a good idea. Such a gamble, even if the score is scored first, will still have an impact? After all, the judges are still thinking about the next dish, so they will inevitably have reservations when scoring. After all, everyone is not A professional judge." Gu Zheng sneered.
"Master Gu, you are really fussy, why didn't I find out before?" Song Xiu paused, and said indifferently: "I was thinking of you, but you are so ungrateful, so I'll come first, anyway, really Gold is not afraid of fire."
"What a real gold is not afraid of fire, I want to see what tricks you can play, I will come first, I will come first!"
Gu Zheng smiled, and brought out the still-steaming Jiang Sanxian from the pot, and the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly sounded all around. In fact, this kind of voice almost never stopped during the cooking process of Gu Zheng and Song Xiu! Not to mention that these cultivators are worthless, after all, this is a delicacy cooked by experts from other ingredients. Although it has not reached the realm of extremely fragrant and transformed, its charming fragrance still makes people unable to help but have a normal reaction .
"Which of you three will come first?" Gu Zheng looked at the three judges.
"I'll come first!"
The three judges spoke almost at the same time, but the female nun who had contributed blood had the loudest voice.
"Okay, you go first!"
Gu Zheng smiled and handed out the chopsticks, and the female cultivator couldn't wait to pick up a piece of Xianyun pork knuckle that had been cut, and put it in her mouth.
