Chapter 848 Soup
The fist-sized, glittering jade dew fruit, sliced into thin slices and placed on a plate, is stunning.
There is not much to say about the condensed pearl fruit. Among all the ingredients purchased at high prices, it is the most unattractive and does not live up to its name at all.
Deep-sea ruby coral looks a bit like deer antler after being sliced, but the color is much brighter and the red is extremely pure, creating a strong visual impact on the white porcelain plate.
The remaining colors are more beautiful and stunning than each other.
After all these ingredients are processed, they become normal ingredients.
One of them is Curculigo.
——Well, Curculigo is used to treat impotence.
Jianyan didn't understand why Curculigo appeared in the gene repair soup, but since it was in the recipe and it was specifically marked as a very important ingredient, she could only follow the recipe.
The Empire does not have Curculigo, but does have Winter Jasmine.
She took the seeds from Yingchun and asked Rabbit Dad and the others to grow them.
Planted a large area.
Fortunately, this thing does not need to be processed, and fresh ones are fine, otherwise she would have to worry about what to do with it.
In addition to Curculigo, there are also edible flowers and medicinal herbs such as Gastrodia elata and lily, as well as a lively big grass carp.
She skillfully killed the grass carp, scraped off the scales and gills, hollowed out the internal organs and washed them. The tip of the knife flashed rapidly between her fingertips, and every time she cut, she seemed to be at ease.
Chen Wu and the others didn't pay much attention to her handling those strange and unfamiliar things at first, until they saw her handling the fish. The three of them silently looked at the pile of ingredients in the plates and glass bowls, and then looked at the fish she had handled.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask the question in my heart.
"Master, isn't hot pot the main dish today? Why do we need to cook?"
"It's not a dish, it's a soup. Just mind your own business and leave me alone!"
The three of them said "oh" and came back to their senses and started talking in low voices.
"It's a bit strange. I don't recognize many of the ingredients that Master brought out today."
"I don't know him either, but I have confidence in my master's cooking skills. I also wonder if this soup is good, so I want to try it."
“I want to try it, I want to learn, and I’m curious about what those unfamiliar ingredients are.”
"We'll ask her when Master is done!"
"Can."
"It's settled then. Let's get down to business first."
Jian Yan was completely focused when doing things and was not distracted at all. He turned a deaf ear to the whispers of the three people and was completely immersed in his own world.
Gastrodia elata needs to be soaked in the same rice water that has been used to soak Chuanxiong and Poria cocos.
What is rice slop? It is the second water used to soak and wash rice. The first water is too nutritious, while the second water is just right.
After soaking the Gastrodia elata in rice water, she pressed the time button of the black technology time accelerator, put the fish bones and fish head into the pot, added deep-sea ruby coral and other ingredients, then added a bowl of cold water, covered the pot and stewed it.
This cooking method is actually quite dark, but since that's what the recipe says, as a tool, she can only follow it.
You need to keep an eye on the fire during the stewing process. In order to prevent the soup from being ruined, Jian Yan stood in front of the stove intently, staring at it without any distraction.
While she was waiting, Chen Wu and the others had already started to serve the soup base one after another.
Pot after pot of hot pot bases, some fresh and fragrant, some spicy, some sour and hot, some mellow... were served on the table, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became lively.
"Lao Gu, what soup base did you order?"
"Spicy beef oil pot, what about you guys?" Gu Yuan replied while his men kept putting food into the pot.
