"Snapped!"
There was a huge echo from the empty kitchen, and the visible air wave fluctuations made people wonder if a missile had exploded here, but in fact it was just a man opening a pair of pliers.
"Marinate it for 50 minutes first to allow the aroma of the wine and seasonings to enter. In the last six minutes, add the star shavings. The star shavings should not be marinated for too long, otherwise the overwhelming flavor will overwhelm the unique aroma of the scorpion demon cow's pincers."
Zheng Yuan smashed the pliers with a slap, and then said to Xiaomei beside him.
"It means that no matter how delicious the seasoning is, it can't overwhelm the guest and take precedence, right?"
Xiaomei said thoughtfully.
"That's pretty much what it means. Xiaomei is indeed a genius."
Put the tongs in the base of Baiwei cooking wine and white wine called Hungry Ghost Power, add colorful onions, colorful garlic, seven-color ginger and other seasonings, and then add a few drops of Dilac vinegar into it, and a large vat of dreamy and colorful In the sauce, throw the Scorpion Demon Cow's pincers into it so that it is completely submerged (see details).
"It smells so good. After soaking the tongs of the Scorpion Demon Cow in this sauce, it can be used for cold cooking. A few days ago, I pickled some of the preserved eggs that you mentioned, brother. It should be ready in the next two days."
Xiaomei gently sniffed the fragrance in the air with the fan method and said with some anticipation.
"Preserved eggs? Well, I haven't eaten them for a long time. They are only sold in the East. They are so delicious, but no one vigorously promotes them... They are all people who don't know how to appreciate them."
Zheng Yuan muttered a few words, recalling the alluring taste and aroma of preserved eggs in his memory, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Let's sharpen the knife first. Grind Nancy again. I can't wait."
After thinking about it, Zheng Yuan decided to take care of the immediate matters first, so he pushed Xiaomei to find Melk's star chips.
Quickly running into the forging room, a large piece of ore that exuded a gentle light, like gold but more dazzling, was placed on the forging table in the middle of the room.
"A little too big."
Xiaomei looked at the too-tall ore with some distress. As a sharpening stone, it was too big, making it difficult for the petite Xiaomei to use it.
"It's easy."
Zheng Yuan reached out and grabbed the star chips and put them on the ground, then pressed them, and the huge ore sank into the ground.
"Is it enough? Do you want it to go deeper?"
Zheng Yuan directly pressed the ore until it was only one-third of Xiaomei's height.
"That's almost it. Okay, let's take Nancy out."
Xiaomei gestured at the height of the ore, nodded with satisfaction, and then extended her hand to Zheng Yuan.
"Here, I leave my precious sword to you."
Zheng Yuan took out Nancy from his arms and simply wrapped a bandage on the blade.
"It's not bad. Brother, you love it very much, but you just don't cherish it that much."
Xiaomei looked at Nancy's knife edge against the light, and then said.
"How to say?"
Zheng Yuan humbly asked for advice.
"You can see that its blade is smooth and flawless. You can tell at a glance that you clean it carefully after cooking with it. But because you trust its sharpness too much, you often use it to cut hard objects. No matter how tough and sharp it is, the edge of the knife There will also be a slight edge curl left on it, although it’s just very slight.”
Xiaomei gently scratched Nancy's knife edge with her fingers, but was not hurt. The reason was that Xiaomei's fingers perfectly just touched the blade without any depth, so Nancy did not hurt her.
"call!"
After explaining, Xiaomei squatted down, holding two parts of Nancy's body with both hands, then pointed the blade at the stardust with a slight tilt, took a deep breath, and then focused her eyes.
There was a "buzz" sound, as sweet as the sound of two tuning forks striking during a physical examination, and then a golden waterfall as dazzling as the stars at night appeared in this place.
Where the blade touched the stardust, following Xiaomei's movements, golden stardust shot out in all directions, like water spray under a waterfall. Even in the daytime, the light of the stardust could not be covered up.
"It's so gorgeous that it makes people feel ashamed just looking at it."
Zheng Yuan looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him with blurred eyes. It was as bright as the starry sky. Its form was somewhat similar to that of fireworks, but it was far better than fireworks.
After a while, Xiaomei stood up sweating profusely. Her whole body was soaked with sweat, as if she had run a thousand meters under the summer sun.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zheng Yuan comforted her, but stared at Nancy without moving for a moment.
"Master always says that my skills are no less than his, but when will I be able to forge a sword of this level?"
Xiaomei didn't care about Zheng Yuan's behavior, because her eyes were looking at Nancy as passionately as Zheng Yuan.
"Look, after grinding with stardust, it becomes even sharper."
Xiaomei handed Nancy to Zheng Yuan, and then ran to the hot spring to take a bath a little weakly - she was about to eat, so she couldn't be sloppy.
The originally dark blade was dyed with dots of gold, shining in the sunlight. When Xiaomei handed it to Zheng Yuan, she simply tilted the blade, but silently left a bottomless mark on the ground. mark.
"The sword energy spans thirty thousand miles, and the light of one sword can chill nineteen states. It is now an adjective."
Zheng Yuan murmured, as if he saw the half-undressed pork belly lying there waiting for his blessing, his eyes were as hot.
"And this, our protagonist!"
Zheng Yuan looked at the stardust lying there quietly, piled up into a small hill. Now it has the appearance of the stardust in its name.
...
The large tongs sank quietly to the bottom of the sauce that had been soaked for fifty minutes. The colorful sauce was still beautiful in color and exuded a hungry aroma.
Carefully sprinkle the star chips from the small plate into the large vat, and the colorful surface of the sauce will immediately be covered with a golden glow like the newborn sun.
The aroma became stronger in an instant, and the aroma of wine and onions, ginger, and garlic suddenly added an indescribable fragrance.
"Gulu."
Zheng Yuan's Adam's apple moved up and down, and his saliva immediately flowed out. His eyes were hotter than before, staring at the tank.
Perhaps due to a strange chemical reaction, the scorpion demon cow's pliers, which were heavier than gold of the same volume, began to float up and down, and the juice surged as if boiling.
The aroma became stronger. Zheng Yuan waited for six minutes with his mind almost losing control. The long hair on his back was windless and the red light in his eyes was shining brightly.
"Ring ring ring!"
The alarm clock sounded, indicating that the time was up. Zheng Yuan fished out the pliers with lightning speed, and the golden light could be faintly seen under the hard shell.
After breaking open the outer shell, the inside was towering and trembling. The strange meat, like a combination of lean meat and crab meat, shone with golden light, which was reflected in Zheng Yuan's pupils.
