In the third year of Shengyuan, it was the seventh day of the ninth lunar month.
At noon, the chef of the famous Kaiyuan Restaurant in Yucheng, Victoria.
"You must be careful when handling soft-shell turtles. After scalding them with hot water, you must clean the film on the shell. This film is the source of the fishy smell. If it is not handled cleanly, even if there is only a little residue, it will ruin the whole thing. A dish.”
Lin Ji wore an apron in front of him and held a still-live turtle in his hand.
Speaking of which, this turtle was really powerful. After biting Lin Ji's thumb, he never let go.
Feng Zhiruo and Zhong Xiaoyan were watching carefully, listening to Lin Ji's explanation of the turtle in his hand.
Further in the back kitchen, several chefs from Kaiyuan Restaurant looked at each other, speechless.
It was busy time at noon when the man in front of me threw his wallet and walked out of the restaurant. He originally thought that he was going to entertain guests, but who would have thought that after giving the money, he would go directly to the kitchen.
"You called me out of seclusion just to tell me this?" Zhong Xiaoyan had a bit of interest in her eyes, but her tone was helpless.
Feng Zhiruo on the side watched with great interest. She had lived for so many years and she had few problems in cultivation, but she had never experienced such things as cooking.
"After all, it is a turtle that has become a demon. Even if it has just opened its spiritual intelligence, it is still very precious." Lin Ji said seriously, "This thing is delicious and tonic, not to mention it has become a demon."
While talking, Lin Ji lowered his head and looked at the turtle that was biting his finger and wouldn't let go.
"Having you bite me for so long is an explanation to you. You have to pay a price for hurting Lin. It was you who made the first move. I just had no choice but to fight back. You can't blame me for this."
While muttering casually, Lin Ji suddenly grabbed the turtle shell and lifted it up with his hands.
The turtle couldn't react and didn't have time to let go. As a result, Lin Ji broke its neck.
Zhong Xiaoyan on the side rolled her eyes when she saw this scene.
Feng Zhiruo laughed dumbly.
"You are deceiving yourself and others too much. You will kill me if you want, and you still have to find an excuse."
Lin Ji shrugged and didn't explain anything.
Just plain bad taste.
After killing the turtle, Lin Ji opened its shell, removed its internal organs, and washed it several times until he was sure it was thoroughly cleaned.
Then he ordered the chef watching on the other side to boil water, while he chopped the turtle meat into evenly sized pieces.
After the water boils, blanch it.
He heated up another pot and began to heat oil.
Then add the onion, ginger, and garlic that had been prepared long ago and stir-fry until fragrant, then stir-fry the blanched turtle meat, and add rice wine to remove the smell.
After the wine smell was stimulated and dispersed, he added water, salt, sugar and other seasonings to taste, and then covered the pot.
"When the edges of the turtle shell become soft, let it simmer for another two minutes and then it will be ready." Lin Ji said to the watching cooks, "Here are three or five more of your specialty dishes."
After giving the instructions, Lin Ji took the two girls to the restaurant's private room and sat down.
It has been about a month since Zhou Li's incident.
During this period of time, Victoria has become much more stable, without any trouble.
Only Lin Ji's order to search for Jiu Ying had no results. The little thing seemed to know his situation. Not only did he not show up, he didn't even leave any clues.
"You can't really find a place to hide for a hundred years, right?" Lin Ji thought to himself.
There are also people in the Tiantian Division who are proficient in calculations, and it is not without means to find them out.
"If there is no news in a few days, let's invite someone from Beijing to come." Lin Ji quickly had a plan in mind.
Putting the matter aside for the time being, Lin Ji looked at Zhong Xiaoyan who was quietly asking Feng Zhiruo for advice.
Speaking of which, ever since Zhong Xiaoyan saw Feng Zhiruo again, she immediately regarded him as her senior.
After all, he was the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect. Even if his cultivation level is gone, his experience and experience are still there, which is very precious to Zhong Xiaoyan.
Just when she was trying her best to catch up with Lin Ji, she naturally couldn't let go of such a senior.
"The inheritance of your Zhong family is all based on blood. The upper limit of your birth has been determined. Although it may not be impossible to break through, it is still too early for you now... Just follow the steps. Wait until it is really difficult to save, and then think of other things. Way." Feng Zhiruo said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoyan nodded helplessly.
Her family knew her own affairs, and she originally had a chance to break through and become a Taoist, but because of her eagerness for success, she might not be able to do so now.
Lin Ji on the side just listened quietly and did not speak.
The red-haired god's body is still lying in the universe in his sleeves. According to Mrs. Zhong's intention, this is a way to help Zhong Xiaoyan strengthen his bloodline.
"Hey, Mrs. Zhong is a surname outside the Zhong family, so she doesn't care about the ancestors of the Zhong family. But if Xiaoyan finds out about this... refining her ancestors to practice, it will always be a bit unpleasant."
In a sense, this matter is no different from evil cultivators. Therefore, although Lin Ji readily agreed at the beginning, now that he has succeeded, he is a little hesitant.
"That's all, let's take it one step at a time." Lin Ji put the matter behind him for the time being.
After about half an hour, the waiter started serving the food.
The first one to come up was the turtle that was as big as three or four human heads.
A huge plate was filled, and the soft and translucent turtle shell was placed on top.
The rich aroma immediately moved Lin Ji's index finger, and the eyes of the two women beside him also lit up.
Lin Ji was not polite, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well, it turns out that simple seasoning is the best. The meat is juicy and the original flavor of the ingredients is not covered up..."
While they were talking, Feng Zhiruo and Zhong Xiaoyan had already started to take action.
Zhong Xiaoyan was good at eating, so she picked some lean parts and shared them with Feng Zhiruo.
Lin Ji had no objection to this and turned to look at the waiter who was about to go down.
"Is anyone eating in the kitchen secretly?" Lin Ji asked.
The waiter was stunned and quickly shook his head and said: "Sir, you are joking."
Lin Ji waved his hands and said: "I'm not asking for guilt. This turtle is already a monster and cannot be eaten by ordinary people. If someone eats it secretly, induce vomiting immediately if it can induce vomiting. If you can't vomit it out... just wait for a serious illness. "
The waiter's expression changed slightly.
Lin Ji ignored this and dismissed him.
Soon, the rest of the dishes arrived, all of which are the restaurant's specialty dishes. Although the ingredients are far less precious than the braised turtle, the taste is not inferior.
This meal lasted for an hour.
It wasn't until the three of them had finished drinking and eating that Lin Ji stretched out with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's go home."
As he spoke, he looked out the window.
Just this look made his face become serious instantly.
