After pouring the last few drops of honey into the sorghum rice, Gu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.
The sorghum rice is already cooked. Sorghum is a coarse grain. It tastes average when it is purely steamed. Adding honey can enhance the taste of sorghum rice, increase the aroma, and make the meal more delicious.
"What are you guys doing?"
As soon as he opened the sliding door of the kitchen, Gu Zheng found three people standing behind the door, looking furtive.
"Okay, Gu Zheng, no matter how bad it is, if I don't starve to death, I will be starved to death!"
Du Yang spoke anxiously, while the other two nodded sharply, they didn't want to go out, they stayed and smelled the smell of Gu Zheng's cooking, but it tortured them enough.
"It's ready, you guys sit at the dining table, and I'll serve the food!"
Gu Zheng nodded slightly, and the three of them rushed to the dining table immediately after hearing the words. The speed made Gu Zheng stunned. They had never reacted like this before.
"Wash your hands and eat!"
When he came out with black-bone chicken soup, Gu Zheng said something again, and the three of them raised their hands at the same time, Wang Tao said bitterly: "When you were cooking, we had washed our hands three times, we knew your rules, and we were all waiting to eat of!"
There are indeed many rules in Gufeng. When he is cooking, others are not allowed to enter the kitchen or help, he must wash his hands before eating, and he cannot speak loudly while eating, etc.
Although there are many rules, because of the delicious food, several people are still looking forward to the food made by Gu Zheng.
"Wait a minute, it's ready!"
Seeing that the hands of the three people were really clean, Gu Zheng didn't bring up this matter anymore, and brought out the food one by one. The tableware used by Gu Zheng was Jingdezhen porcelain, which was specially ordered. Gu Zheng didn't know how it was fired, but Most of these tableware are exported abroad for use in famous foreign restaurants.
Gu Zheng's set was ordered by his father.
Three dishes and one soup, a small bowl for each person, in the bowl is slightly golden sorghum rice, the sorghum rice exudes a faint sweetness, which makes people appetite.
"Smells good!"
The lid of the black-bone chicken soup was opened first, and the three of them sniffed together. The soup was the first one to cook, and it was stewed for two hours. The nutrition of the black-bone chicken and wild ginseng was integrated into the thick soup, which had been covered before. It was covered, and now it is opened, and the accumulated fragrance burst out in an instant, causing the three of them to exclaim.
"so beautiful!"
Then I opened the stir-fried wild lotus seeds. After Gu Zheng fried the wild lotus seeds, he placed them in a heart shape, with two green leaves under the heart, like a hand holding a green heart, and a few mountain mushrooms dotted around the wild lotus seeds. It does not conflict, but makes the colors appear richer.
Ten prawns are arranged in a circle. The prawns have been processed, and the shrimp lines have been removed. There are a few wild lotus seeds in the middle of the prawns. The inside of the prawns is still a little black. When the prawns are almost cooked , Gu Zheng uses a straw to pour the soy sauce into the body, so that the prawns can fully absorb the aroma of the soy sauce without affecting their own umami taste.
The last thing to open is the honey chicken, which is made by cutting the chicken wings and drumsticks of the black-bone chicken and part of the chicken breast.
The golden chicken wings and drumsticks are arranged in a crescent shape. Once the lid is opened, the richest fragrance will come out after a long time of accumulation under the lid. This time even Gu Zheng couldn't help sniffing. They were all there, and he wanted to take a piece and taste it first.
"Is it ready to eat?"
Wang Tao swallowed his saliva and said something in a low voice. Before Gu Zheng could answer, Du Yang and Zhao Yongkui stretched out their jade-like bamboo chopsticks at the same time, and each picked up a chicken wing.
"Delicious, so delicious!"
Biting the chicken wings, the two made muffled sounds. Seeing that the chicken wings were gone, Wang Tao hurriedly picked up a small chicken leg. Gu Zheng looked at them and shook his head with a smile. He gently picked up a cut chicken leg and put it in his mouth. middle.
Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. The chicken was fat but not greasy, and it spread out as if it had melted. Gu Zheng couldn't help chewing the sweet and sweet chicken. His mouth was full of saliva stimulated by the fragrance, and soon the whole piece All the chicken was swallowed by him.
"tasty!"
Gu Zheng himself couldn't help saying, he knew it was delicious just now, but he hadn't tasted it, and this taste was also something he hadn't thought of. He had eaten a lot of good things before, but he had never tasted any of them. Such a taste.
"It's just average, but it's already very valuable to you!"
The voice of Qi Ling suddenly appeared, and Gu Zheng quickly picked up another piece of chicken, and asked in his heart: "I have eaten and made a lot of delicious things, but I have never made such delicious things. so?"
"Ingredients are the most important in any gourmet food. No matter how clever the cooking technique is, if the ingredients are bad, it will not be truly delicious. According to your customs, if a piece of food is rated as ten points, then four points are for the ingredients, and four points are for the ingredients. Divided into cooking!"
"You're right. I think the proportion of ingredients should be higher. How did you get four points for ingredients, four points for cooking skills, and two points for what?"
While eating, Gu Zheng asked, the chicken was delicious, and the sorghum rice was not bad. The honey he added to the sorghum rice was a stroke of genius. It not only completely changed the taste of the sorghum rice, but also made the sorghum rice much smoother and delicious Comfortable and delicious.
Of course, the raw material of this sorghum rice is also very important. Gu Zheng knew in his heart that if it was replaced with other sorghum rice, it would definitely not have this taste if it was not the sorghum rice that had already reached the second-grade evaluation.
"Your ingredients are too poor. In the wilderness, a good natural ingredient, without any cooking, is better than anything you have. As for the remaining two points you said, it's cultivation, which can enhance cooking. Art, enhance the level of ingredients, the higher the cultivation level, the better the food, and the food made by Mr. Taoxian is famous in the prehistoric world!"
Before Gu Zheng could speak, Qi Ling continued: "For example, this time, if you hadn't had the normal-quality honey, it would have been impossible to have such a good effect. Although the chicken you chose was not polluted, it would still eat it. Some inferior ingredients, but honey that does not reach the ordinary quality, at most it tastes better, absolutely not so attractive!"
"I see. You are right. Without honey, this honey sauce chicken will definitely not have such a taste, even if the other ingredients are inferior!"
This time, Gu Zheng didn’t refute Qi Ling’s words. He is a chef, and he knows the role of honey in it. No wonder Taoxian will grade the ingredients. The difference between each grade is indeed very big. It’s just a black-bone chicken with ordinary ingredients like honey. , the taste became so delicious, Gu Zheng had expectations for the ingredients collected by Taoxian for the first time.
According to Qi Ling, many of Taoxian's collections are of high-level, and high-quality food ingredients are better than any existing food without cooking. I really don't know that food made with high-level ingredients is better. How much to eat.
"It's over, is there any more?"
Just as Gu Zheng was thinking, he suddenly saw three pairs of eyes staring at him eagerly. Just as he communicated with Qi Ling, they ate up all the three dishes and one soup on the table, leaving nothing behind. , There was not a single grain of rice left in the three-person bowl.
