Chapter 84: Ding Cooking!
Rice, millet, millet, wheat, beans, hemp and potatoes.
This is the Seven Valleys.
Geese, quails, quails, pheasants, doves and pigeons.
These are six birds.
It can be said that these ingredients represent the ingredients that most gather the yin and yang flavor in the world.
The cycle of life and death is all there.
Even Zhao Fuyu paid sincere respect to the ancestors who were able to provide these ingredients at that time. They had already contributed the best ingredients in that era.
The fantasy ingredients cannot meet the requirements of these ancient gods.
Because what they need is not only the taste of the food, but also what these ingredients carry, which contains the long-lasting breath of humanity and the virtue that nourishes countless living beings.
That kind of heartfelt, divine and sacred thing, the time for dream ingredients to appear is still too short.
This is why these beings need fairy meals.
Because except for immortal meals, other dishes cannot draw out the sacred aura contained in these ingredients and turn them into what they need.
Since they are not what these ancient gods need, how can we talk about sacrifices?
Just when Zhao Fuyu gradually stopped moving, Erina was still being trained by the power that was constantly escaping in the void, but he had already begun to prepare the dishes to be sacrificed to Lord Taishan.
It was also he who gathered these sacrifices to make the immortal meal cooked in the way of respecting the ancients.
Pheasant soup!
...
As the most primitive sacrificial dish, even in ancient times, only kings could taste it as emperors.
According to many rumors, it seems to be a delicacy that is difficult to replicate.
But in fact, these dishes, which are called 'immortal meals', are not very difficult to make.
The key lies in how to release the mystery hidden in the ingredients.
This is also the reason why even Nakiri Senzaemon can't do it.
This is not only a matter of cooking skills, but also a matter of profound and related cultural heritage.
Civilization is the fundamental gap between the two that cannot be related or even touched!
Precisely because he knew how difficult this matter was and that he had to rely on Zhao Fuyu's ability, Nakiri Senzaemon felt a little worried.
After all, the requirements for this kind of immortal meal are strict. In addition to natural ingredients, even the kitchen utensils are also strict.
Kitchen knives are easy to deal with. No matter what they are, they can now be used as kitchen knives in Zhao Fuyu's hands. However, kitchen utensils have strict requirements, especially the kitchen utensils used for cooking by these ancient gods. Even other kitchen utensils cannot be used. Metal.
It has to be made of the above-mentioned fine bronze, with gold and silver configuration, which is the so-called...ding food!
Now in front of Zhao Fuyu was such a huge bronze cauldron. Rootless water was summoned by him, and after cleaning the cauldron, it was like a continuous clear spring falling into it, filling the entire bronze cauldron.
Burning underneath was a rootless fire, a flame that Zhao Fuyu ignited with the concept of 'phoenix', which quickly boiled the water in the bronze cauldron.
Then he took the breast meat and leg meat of the six birds, cut the meat into thin strips with a bamboo blade, and put it directly into the bronze cauldron, supplemented by seven grains.
Almost all the sacrifices were taken from the altar, and then the final process began.
Stir constantly.
This kind of stirring is like a mysterious rhythm. Zhao Fuyu stood in the middle of the scene, constantly adjusting the fire source. The bronze cauldron kept gurgling water and the water vapor spread.
There were obviously no surprising ingredients, but under such circumstances, they turned into wisps of strange fragrance and continued to spread.
Cooking with an extremely pure heart of cooking has released all the ingredients in this bronze cauldron. In fact, what I pursue is the intention in it. It just so happens that Zhongzhou has not worshiped the Lord of Taishan in this way for many years.
Coupled with the skyrocketing population of Zhongzhou, the glory of humanity has already penetrated into these six birds and seven valleys that have raised more creatures with the growth of population. All Zhao Fuyu has to do is to slowly guide these forces out.
And this kind of guidance is the core of Immortal Dinner.
Each cook has a different way of channeling the special will inside the ingredients, and even each cooking method is different.
Zhao Fuyu's 'Pheasant Soup' uses the simplest two words, exquisite!
The six poultry meat shreds, water temperature, firepower, and even the stirring speed are carefully controlled to continuously release the flavor of the ingredients.
These techniques all need to be very delicate. When to slow down, when to rush, when to stir more vigorously, so that the ingredients in the soup can be completely disintegrated. This all requires a concept.
A concept of harmony between yin and yang, movement and stillness that is unique to Zhongzhou talents.
This is the key to why civilizations are different and outsiders cannot copy them even if they know it.
From the beginning of life, it is not something that outsiders can understand. This is a concept that can only be possessed by blood, soul, and even spiritual imprinted environment.
Even if the so-called barbarians enter China, it will take several generations of baptism to slowly approach this concept from the blood and soul.
The stirring hand is like treating the extremely delicate eggshell that is almost broken with just a little effort, or the delicate skin of a baby, gently but without losing strength.
It can be said that Zhao Fuyu's cooking skills have exceeded outsiders' imagination.
It's not that he has any magical abilities, but that he has practiced basic skills that ordinary people have not noticed, and even Nakiri Senzaemon has not practiced for many years, almost to the point of transformation.
That kind of pure and almost useless basic craftsmanship, now in Zhao Fuyu's hands, has become the key to turning this immortal meal into a secret level that is coveted by the world.
While only salt and sugar are the two most common seasonings, the use of spices has also been restricted.
So to suppress the fishy smell of waterfowl and turn them into commendable game meat requires extremely sophisticated cooking skills.
In addition, the presence of those grains can also absorb the fishy smell very well, making the ingredients taste more delicious and revealing the special deliciousness.
In fact, under Zhao Fuyu's hands, after these poultry meat shreds were put into the pot, they were quickly stirred into strips of meat, and then began to break under the urging of firepower.
It has become an extremely fine minced meat state, that is, at this moment, the grains can be added in, and the stew can continue to let the character of the poultry and pheasant soup come into full play.
If it were normal times, Zhao Fuyu would definitely add onion and ginger water, cooking wine, and even pepper at this time. After all, modern people's dependence on spices has already penetrated into the bone marrow.
But this is not a dish for ordinary people to taste.
Extracting the heart and the hidden mystery is far more important than the exquisite taste, and excess seasoning will inevitably destroy the release of this heart.
So Zhao Fuyu used another simpler method to release the seven grains into the bronze tripod in batches.
Because of the different ripening times, the degree of softness and even the taste of the released starch are different. Instead, the soup in the bronze cauldron gradually appears in different colors, and gradually spreads towards transparency!
