Konoha Qiweiju

"Water escape! Water fang bullet!"

The water flow in the air is condensed and washed out of the newly picked rapeseed flowers.

The crystal water drops on the yellow rapeseed flowers sparkle in the sun, making them look particularly moving.

"Teacher Zhenxiu! I caught a carp!"

Hiruzen ran over excitedly, holding a lively carp in his hand.

The carp is quite big, it looks like it weighs three or four pounds.

"I can't tell, but you are also good at catching fish. This fish is enough for the two of us."

Zhen Xiu smiled.

"Uh-huh."

Hiruzen handed the carp to Zhenxiu and said, "Teacher Zhenxiu, this carp has a strong earthy smell, and we don't have anything to remove the smell here. Is it really edible when used to make fish soup?"

After all, Hiruzen is a young master from a big family. Although he can't cook, he still has some experience in eating.

"Don't worry, with me here, you won't eat anything unpleasant. The earthy smell you mentioned can be perfectly eliminated with just two steps."

"Really?"

Hiruzen blinked at Shinsu with his big curious eyes.

"Just keep an eye on it."

Zhen Xiu took out the civil and military sword in the Seven-Star Sword from his ninja bag, and struck the carp hard on the big head with the back of the sword.

Under the tremendous force, the carp that was originally jumping around stopped moving instantly.

He didn't die instantly, but he fell into a coma instantly.

With the flash of the sword, the fish scales completely disappeared.

Hiruzen blinked and saw that the fish scales were neatly arranged in another place. It looked like the fish was molting its skin.

"What a great knife artist!"

Hiruzen was shocked.

Removing fish scales is not a difficult task, but it is probably unprecedented for anyone who can do it to this extent.

At least, this was the first time Hiruzen saw it.

Although he didn't know much about cooking, he thought this operation was really delicate.

However, this is only the preparation for true cultivation.

Remove gills.

"Hiruzhan, carp has an earthy smell, which has a lot to do with its tendons."

"Strong? What kind of tendon?"

"Sour tendons, also called fishy tendons by some, are located behind the gills of carp. Many carp soups are made without removing them. Therefore, the carp soup produced will have an earthy smell. Even if it is added to remove the fishy smell,

Even the cooking wine and ginger slices cannot be completely removed, that’s why.”

Hiruzen seemed to understand, but Shinshu took action.

The Wenwu knife made a cut each on the back of the carp's gills and on its tail.

Then, the knife blade lightly patted the fish.

At this time, a white fish tendon appeared behind the gills.

Zhen Xiu narrowed his eyes and captured it instantly.

He grabbed it with his left hand and pulled out the white fish tendon in the blink of an eye.

Next, turn the fish over and perform the same operation on the other side.

Soon, both fish tendons were taken out.

"This is the main source of the earthy smell of carp."

Zhen Xiu pinched the two fish tendons and said.

Curious, Hiruzen leaned closer and took a sniff.

Sure enough, the strong fishy smell instantly rushed into his nose, and a feeling of nausea swept over him.

"Ugh, it's so disgusting."

Hiruzen waved his hand in disgust, as if he wanted to fan away the fishy smell from his nose.

"Delicious dishes are often made after going through such disgusting treatment over and over again. Just like ninjas, truly strong people need to grow up bit by bit after exhausting training over and over again. Nothing is unnecessary

Easily obtained with effort.

Even if you get something like that, it's just like a castle in the air."

Hiruzen was thoughtful when he heard the words.

But Zhen Xiu just said it casually.

The iron pot has already been set up and firewood has been added.

The temperature of the iron pot gradually rises.

Hot pan, cold oil!

The treated carp is gently released into it, making a sizzling sound.

Fry!

If you want the fish soup to turn white in the end, this step is crucial.

If you put the fish directly into the water and cook it, no matter how long you cook it, the white color will not appear.

After frying until browned on both sides, pour in clear river water collected from the river.

There wasn't much industrial pollution in that world, so the river water was extremely clean.

Under the firewood cooking, the river water gradually boiled.

"The next step is to remove the fishy smell."

Zhenxiu said, picking up the rapeseed flowers picked earlier.

"Rape flower?"

"Yes. The rapeseed flowers have a strong aroma, which can mask the remaining fishy smell of the fish soup. At the same time, the flavor of the rapeseed flowers enters the soup, which can add to the flavor of the fish soup, making the taste even more outstanding."

The golden rapeseed flowers entered the fish soup that gradually turned white, dyeing it yellow.

The floral fragrance is strong and blends well with the freshness of the fish soup.

Before it is finished, people have the urge to drool.

Hiruzen felt that the saliva in his mouth was constantly secreting.

Good food, even the aroma, can arouse people's appetite.

"Teacher Zhenxiu, is this fish soup almost ready?"

Hiruzen was already a little impatient.

But Zhenxiu shook his head and said: "Not yet, the taste of the two has not been fully stimulated."

"But this fish soup won't taste good after being cooked for a long time."

"I didn't expect you to understand quite well. So, in the end, I need to inject the soul of this fish soup."

"soul?"

Hiruzen was even more surprised.

I saw Zhen Xiu picking up a dead branch and taking out two pebbles from under the stove.

These two pebbles have been placed here since the beginning. Under the burning flames, the temperature is now extremely high.

Under Hiruzen's surprised gaze, Shinsu threw the two hot pebbles directly into the fish soup.

Stab!

The fish soup boils instantly!

The flame in the stove was also instantly extinguished by the true cultivator.

"It's done. Specially made by Zhenxiu, rape flower carp soup."

A strong fragrance floated in the air.

Floral.

Fishy.

There is also a burnt aroma.

If the previous fragrance was one, then the fragrance now has become five.

The fragrance is doubled!

And the source of all this is because of those two hot pebbles.

"How amazing! These two stones can actually play such a huge role? Is this the so-called soul of cooking?"

Hiruzen was amazed.

"Stop sighing, let's try it first."

Putting his right hand on the ground and condensing an unearthed bowl, the true cultivator filled a bowl of fish soup for Hiruzen.

The original golden color has faded, but the fish soup is still pure white.

Golden yellow rapeseed flowers are dotted on it, which is really beautiful.

Good cuisine is not only about taste, but also about visual effects.

If there is no appetite at first glance, then the dish is a failure no matter how delicious it is.

Hiruzen held the earthen bowl in both hands, and the hot aroma continued to flow into his nostrils.

Hiruzen swallowed, and immediately stopped being polite.

"Then I'll start eating."

Whoosh.

After blowing on the fish soup gently, Hiruzen took a sip of the hot soup that had just been served.
