"I actually have all the minor ingredients, but I'm missing the most important divine ingredient. I wonder if you can spare it?"
Zhang Mingtu grabbed Xiaoqing, who was about to hide in his collar, and put his palm in front of him, smiling as he looked at Xiaoqing, who was pretending to be dead in his palm.
"Can I...can I say no?"
Zhang Mingtu just smiled and watched without saying anything. Xiaoqing, who quietly opened one eye and hit Zhang Mingtu secretly, immediately lowered her head in frustration.
It nimbly turned over, stretched out a paw, closed its eyes, turned its head to the side, and shouted with a fearless attitude: "Take it, take it, remember to be gentle!"
When it comes to relevant spiritual materials, the most precious and useful thing in the world is the dragon. And when it comes to dragon's essence and blood, the most precious one is undoubtedly the dragon's essence and blood in front of Zhang Mingtu, which is about to transform into a demon saint.
And now it seems that this most sacred dragon is also quite obedient to Zhang Mingtu, and the plan has been successfully implemented to a large extent.
"What are you busy with?"
"You've been promoted, you should celebrate!"
Xue Cheng was beaming with joy and brought over a huge copper hot pot from outside.
The charcoal fire inside was burning brightly, and a large number of ingredients were arranged in different categories.
There is a partition in the center of the hot pot to separate the clear soup and red soup.
"You know what, this way of eating is quite delicious. It's become popular in Jiangnan West Road recently. I heard it started from Jianyi."
On the table on the left, Xue Cheng had placed all kinds of cut seafood and novel ingredients.
Grouper, rockfish and the like were sliced into pieces, and there were also quite large crabs, clams and scallops. Most of them were made of ice cubes using ice-controlling talismans and frozen underneath.
At first glance, Zhang Mingtu thought he had returned to modern times.
Its layout, distribution, and style are very similar to modern hot pot.
When Zhang Mingtu heard Xue Cheng say that this way of eating seemed to have been passed down from Jianyi, he thought about it and roughly understood that this must be an innovation made by his parents, and he also communicated with his parents on a daily basis.
Among them, Wang Yulan and Zhang Jishi would ask him some hotel-related matters, especially those related to the dishes.
As Zhang Mingtu's strength grew, his memories of his previous life became clearer and clearer. Many dishes from his previous life were casually mentioned by Zhang Mingtu and written in letters.
Sometimes he would draw related graphics. I think his parents made some changes in this regard and moved to this era seriously.
At the beginning, Zhang Mingtu did not dare to make such drastic changes, but now as his strength and status have increased, he no longer needs to be so concerned about many things.
It turns out that a small pot of Yuhuchun can lead to the destruction of the entire Zhang family, causing dozens or hundreds of people in the Zhang family to die.
But now some of the more significant changes are initiated by Zhang Mingtu himself, so there is no need to worry about too many problems.
Zhang Mingtu's thoughts were wandering, but Xue Cheng was still busy in front of him, sorting the dishes into different categories and putting them away.
There were so many dishes that Xue Cheng even had to move out some tables, chairs, and benches and place the corresponding ingredients.
Originally, with Xue Cheng's family affairs and corresponding status, he didn't need to do these things personally. There were relevant servants and handymen to do it for him.
However, Xue Cheng felt that Zhang Mingtu's identity was secret, and it was his advantage to be close to him in his courtyard. He could not easily reveal it to others, nor could he leak relevant information out. He had to do many things himself.
"It's rare that you need to celebrate your promotion. I know you don't like overly grand and solemn occasions, so I specially brought the relevant ingredients so that we can celebrate together and also celebrate your promotion to a centurion of the Jinyiwei!"
Xue Cheng added two more pieces of charcoal into the copper furnace. At this time, the soup in the copper furnace had begun to boil slightly.
The milky white soup on the left is obviously seasoned. It is not a pure white soup, but can be regarded as a kind of broth. No related oil can be seen on the surface, but the whole soup is thick white. Once boiled, it reveals a rich fragrance.
Zhang Mingtu recognized it as some kind of spiritual water after a quick look, and then added some special medicinal herbs and the corresponding essence of bones and flesh to make it, and used a special water-control technique to absorb the corresponding oil.
The soup looks simple, but a lot of thought went into it.
The overall productivity of this era was not top-notch, and was only average compared to the ancient times in Zhang Mingtu's previous life. However, in terms of high-end enjoyment, the people of this era were no worse than the modern enjoyment Zhang Mingtu had in his previous life.
After all, he has special knowledge of metaphysics.
Many methods that can only be used after the development of modern science and technology will be directly developed through corresponding practice methods as long as they can be enjoyed in this era.
The red soup pot on the other side looks simple, but it is not very simple if you look closely. It uses special monster oil as the main ingredient, and unique spices specially transported from Shu, including peppercorns and chili peppers that were not widely popular at that time.
The hot pot base is fried using special methods, resulting in a rich aroma.
It is boiling slightly at this time, and the aroma of butter is emitting, mixed with the spicy stimulation of red oil and chili peppers, which makes people's appetite involuntarily open.
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but become interested as he watched.
"This is quite good."
When Xue Cheng saw that Zhang Mingtu only glanced sideways and was not too surprised, his heart moved again and he became more certain of Zhang Mingtu's identity.
