In her previous life, Ye Xiruo was betrayed by her husband and best friend, dying a tragic and desolate death.
In a single moment of transmigration, she becomes a "jinx" who brings di...
Without Bai Qi, Zui Xian Lou wouldn't have been able to open so smoothly. None of those who wanted to cause trouble showed up, which was all thanks to Bai Qi, not to them.
The six chefs in the backyard were also protected by the White Flag, which is why they weren't assassinated or kidnapped and threatened with death if they didn't hand over the recipes.
"Someone come here."
Soon, Bai Zheng's confidant came out carrying three white jade boxes.
"Three alchemists, I am so grateful to you for helping me through this ordeal. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't be shy."
Then, the three white jade boxes were opened at the same time. What they contained surprised Ye Xiruo, Zishu, and Yingxun. They were spiritual herbs, and the herbs were in perfect condition. Most importantly, they were level twelve spiritual herbs. Each one of these grades was priceless. Yet Bai Zheng had given away three of them. Such generosity was truly befitting of the Bai family head.
"Patriarch Bai, you are too kind. Young Master Bai has already thanked us. These three spiritual herbs are far too precious for us to accept. Please forgive us, Patriarch Bai."
"These are merely three spiritual herbs. My life is far more precious than this. Please, the three of you, do not refuse. These herbs can only reach their full value if they are in your hands, can they?"
Since Bai Zheng had said so, Ye Xiruo and the others had no choice but to accept it.
As expected of the head of the Bai family, this move is truly impressive.
Bai Zheng was a well-traveled and knowledgeable man, but he still couldn't stop praising the dishes that the three chefs had prepared so carefully.
After hearing that Ye Xiruo had researched and developed these menus and recipes, Lao San admired her even more. At such a young age, she was incredibly talented and humble; it was truly a good thing that Lao San could befriend someone like her.
"Master Bai, you're too kind. It's just some home-style dishes, and I put in a little extra effort. It's nothing to mention."
"Master Ye, don't be modest. Everyone knows that you guided all six chefs, and a single dish of yours has sold for an astronomical price." Bai Qi pouted.
"There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. I only have a superficial understanding. In the eyes of a true master chef, I am nothing, nothing at all."
Shui Qingqing took out a small earthenware pot from her spatial ring: "I was fortunate enough to meet a master chef. This is a gift he gave me before he left. Today, I'll take this opportunity to share it with everyone."
"Then I thank Master Ye for his generosity."
This is a small jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The moment the lid was lifted, a rich aroma wafted out, and everyone present had a look of astonishment. What is this? It smells so good! It's so tempting! I've never smelled anything so delicious in my life.
Ye Xiruo was very satisfied with the effect, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Everyone, don't just stand there, try it and see how it tastes." As she spoke, she served everyone a small bowl, and Bai Qi's eyes almost turned red from the aroma.
"It looks so tempting." After taking a bite, Bai Zheng nodded repeatedly: "An absolute delicacy." Such a delicious soup could probably only be made by a master chef.
Of course! In China, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a very famous dish, and there are very few master chefs who can truly make it to its essence.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall has as many as eighteen ingredients: sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, dried scallops, fish lips, fish maw, razor clams, ham, pork belly, lamb shank, pig's trotters, tendons, chicken breast, duck breast, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, shiitake mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots. You can imagine how complicated the preparation process is. So many ingredients need to bring out their original flavor one by one. Then they are layered and placed in a spirit wine jar. Some spirit wine and pre-made broth are added to allow the ingredients, wine, and broth to fully blend. Finally, the jar is sealed with lotus leaves.
First, bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer it over low heat. The ingredients, wine jars, and firewood used are all very particular.
After going through this whole process, Ye Xiruo felt like she had gone crazy.
She had tried several times in a desperate attempt, but unfortunately, all the ingredients were wasted. Helpless, she returned to the Taiyan Continent and gave the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall recipe directly to Chef Zhang Quan.
Chef Zhang has been a master chef for many years, but this is the first time he has seen such a complex dish with such amazing reviews. He immediately became interested and started experimenting.
Is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall really that easy to make? You're kidding! Do you think you can just look at a recipe and know it's not that simple? Just look at Ye Xiruo and you'll see it's not like that at all.
However, Zhang Quan managed to put it together in just three days. Moreover, the materials he used were all imbued with spiritual energy. The wine jar was one that had contained top-grade spiritual wine, and the wine itself was also top-grade spiritual wine. As for the cooking time and other aspects, Zhang Quan, having been a spiritual chef for so long, was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Zhang Quan's first attempt attracted many people; the aroma was simply irresistible. However, Zhang Quan was still not satisfied, so he continued to improve and experiment. The final improved product is what's now on the table.
Zhang Quan was very grateful that Ye Xiruo had given him such a precious recipe, so he agreed to Ye Xiruo's unreasonable request and made a lot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which he put in his spatial ring.
The allure of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is irresistible to almost everyone. Those present were quickly captivated by this dish, which is truly a unique delicacy.
Unfortunately, the portion was too small; each person only managed about six or seven bites before it was gone.
The essence of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall lies in the soup, but the ingredients inside are also all of high quality. Once the soup is gone, the ingredients inside the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are also divided up.
Bai Qi looked at Ye Xiruo expectantly: "Master Ye, do you know how to make this dish?"
Ye Xiruo shook her head: "I can't do it. To control so many ingredients at the same time and bring out the essence of each ingredient is something that I really can't do with my skill level."
Ahhh! What a pity, what a pity! Master Ye Dan doesn't know how to make it. So today's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall will be a one-of-a-kind dish, and it will definitely be unforgettable.
Zishu finally spoke slowly after a long pause: "It's unbelievable that there's a dish in this world that tastes better than the Snow Mountain Cold Fish."
Hua Rong and Qing Zhiyi, two young masters who grew up with silver spoons in their mouths, were also captivated by Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
The process of making this dish, as well as the control of true essence and spiritual power, are extremely difficult. Even Ye Xiruo had to give up. Zhang Quan is the only person who can make it perfectly.
Zhang Quan's apprentices were all incapable, so this dish wasn't on the menu at Zuixianju. After all, as a master chef, Zhang Quan couldn't possibly stay at Zuixianju every day cooking for a group of diners.
