Ye Feng did not show any difference in response to the arrival of Fairy Yunxiao and her three brothers.
He just glanced a few more times at Ming Daoren, who was tied up like a rice dumpling.
After that, he stopped paying attention to the group.
I still have to take care of things in the kitchen myself.
The menu for today has already been decided: three appetizers, four main dishes, and one staple food.
The temperature at the Shushan Sword Sect has been quite high these days. Although it doesn't affect the cultivators, Ye Feng still wants to find something to cool down.
Our ancestors have been immersed in the art of cooking for thousands of years, and some of their creations are treasures for cooling down in the summer. Today, he is going to make a drink that appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty - Perilla Drink.
The ingredients used are quite simple: perilla leaves, dried tangerine peel, roasted licorice root, and rock sugar.
Ye Feng used to make this often to entertain friends and guests, and they all praised it highly.
Put the cleaned perilla leaves and the dried tangerine peel and roasted licorice root wrapped in a spice bag into a pot and boil.
After the water boiled, I poured in the rock sugar.
Before long, seeing that the rock sugar had completely melted, Ye Feng used a slotted spoon to scoop out the perilla leaves and the spice packet.
Next, he took out more than 420 succinic lemons, squeezed out the juice, and put it into a pot on the side.
The ratio of lemons to heads is approximately 0.5 to 1, a number carefully calculated by Ye Feng.
The kitchen helpers naturally all gathered around to watch.
Seeing Ye Feng squeeze lemons and smelling their unique tangy aroma, everyone couldn't help but salivate.
Ye Feng said to Ning Shuang and Liu Yun, "Ning Shuang, use your ice control technique to make an ice block, enough for more than 800 people. Liu Yun, first cool down this perilla water, then cut the ice block and put it in the cup."
Ning Shuang quickly agreed, and then a ball of blue light appeared between her hands, and ice began to condense on the table.
Liu Yun wasn't idle either; he also enveloped the Perilla Water in a ball of blue light.
Then, seeing that Ning Shuang had retreated to the side, he began to chop with his fingers.
His elegant figure, warm expression, and gentle smile made Ning Shuang blush slightly.
Ye Feng chuckled inwardly, thinking that this seemed to be a mutually affectionate situation.
After all the ice cubes were placed in the container, Ye Feng poured all the lemon juice into the perilla water.
Then, something astonishing happened.
The water boiled with perilla, dried tangerine peel, and roasted mugwort was originally brownish-yellow, but the moment lemon juice was added, the brownish-yellow water instantly turned pink!
Wow!
This amazing scene immediately drew gasps of amazement from the kitchen helpers.
Then, I couldn't help but think to myself, "Junior Uncle really knows how to create some interesting things!"
Ye Feng picked up the mixed pink drink and poured it into more than 800 cups one by one.
The transparent cup turned a pale pink color when reflected in the perilla water, which looked quite pleasing.
Ye Feng picked up a cup and examined it closely; the aroma of perilla was already captivating.
That dreamlike pale pink color is just like the purest flutter of excitement when you first meet someone.
A gentle sniff reveals a refreshing fragrance that instantly clears the mind.
A light sip reveals a sweet and sour, refreshing taste that instantly washes away all the grime and leaves you feeling cool and refreshed.
"ah……"
Even with Ye Feng's composure, he couldn't help but let out a groan of admiration.
After Ye Feng drank, Liu Yun Ning Shuang and the others also picked out a cup for themselves.
"ah……"
More than twenty voices of praise rang out almost simultaneously, causing the female disciple to blush slightly, but she couldn't help but smile.
"Wow, this perilla water is so delicious! My mouth feels cool and refreshing after drinking it."
"If I feel down in the future, I can drink a cup of this perilla water and my worries will disappear. Right now, I feel refreshed and have a feeling of entering a state of enlightenment."
Ye Feng glanced at Yu Shu who was speaking, then waved his hand and sent him directly to a quiet room.
Yu Shu looked around in confusion, and just as he was about to speak, he heard his junior uncle's voice.
"Calm down and recall the feeling just now; this cup of perilla water may lead to a moment of enlightenment."
Yu Shu hurriedly obeyed and sat cross-legged on the ground. Soon after, a Daoist aura began to waft around him.
Ye Feng said to the remaining people in the kitchen, "This perilla water has a certain chance of putting people into a state of enlightenment. The lower your cultivation level, the higher the chance of entering a state of enlightenment. If any of you have that feeling, just say so, and I will send you back to the meditation room."
The twenty disciples looked at each other, but none of them experienced that magical feeling again.
Ye Feng could only marvel at Yu Shu's incredible luck; he had encountered a 5% chance of such an event.
While the effects of this perilla water are indeed quite good, enlightenment is simply a secondary attribute.
With a 4-star rating, it can not only remove a wisp of that blood-red energy, but also keep people sharp of hearing and sight and highly focused of mental energy for two hours.
For the second dessert, Ye Feng prepared pear blossom pastries.
The original pear blossom pastry was only made to resemble the shape of a pear blossom; it did not actually use real pear blossoms.
But what can you do when you have an old pear tree in your yard that witnessed enlightenment twice?
Wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?
Pear blossoms are already rich in nutrients, and this old pear tree, with its many adventures, is even more so.
The pear blossoms it sheds are no less valuable than its own ascended vegetables; in fact, they are even stronger.
Moreover, the pear blossoms of the old pear tree do not have the bitterness of ordinary pear blossoms; they only have fragrance and sweetness.
The pear blossom pastry is similar to the pastries I've made before; it's also made by using flour and lard to create a flaky texture.
After a series of steps, the pear blossom and mung bean paste fillings are placed into the pastry, shaped into pear blossoms, and then baked.
As the baking time increases, the pear blossom pastry gradually expands.
The five petals immediately became plump and bulging.
After feeding the kitchen helpers, Ye Feng put them all into the jade slip.
The third dessert is Bingsuluo, also known as the Old Capital Palace Cheese, which has been recorded as early as the Tang Dynasty.
This dessert is very easy to make, and the ingredients are even simpler.
The only ingredients needed are milk and fermented rice wine.
Heat the bowl of milk over a fire.
After about ten minutes, the milk began to boil.
A thin layer of milk skin floats on top of the milk.
Ye Feng picked up a spoon, skimmed off the milk skin, and poured the heated milk into a bowl.
After pouring the fermented rice wine into the bowl, Ye Feng began to stir it.
Roll the dough evenly, place it in a steamer, and wait for it to solidify.
After finishing the three desserts, Ye Feng began preparing the main course for the day.
The desserts before the meal were all Chinese-style, so today's main course, Ye Feng, will be Western-style.
The other four dishes can be prepared simply, but the main dish is still the main course.
This is the toughest steak imaginable – a tomahawk steak!
