So what if I, as a chef, make elixirs?
Chapter 66
Everyone was immersed in the joy of coming, and connecting to the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom was equivalent to having a huge backer.
That sense of peace of mind made them almost forget the tragic event that happened not long ago.
The strength, financial resources, and foundation of the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom made all the members of the Medicine Clan covet it.
But the clan rules among the medicine clan, which are almost equivalent to the laws of heaven and earth, make it impossible for them to go down the mountain and settle down for their own wealth.
And Yaochen's marriage is equivalent to opening a small road, Yaochen is not going down the mountain for himself, not for wealth.
In the future, if a gifted medicine genius wants to go down the mountain to practice, he can easily circumvent this law by marrying the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom.
And today, Yaochen, as one of the protagonists, is planning the menu for the wedding banquet with Wang Wei in the kitchen.
It stands to reason that this kind of work does not need to be handled by Yaochen himself, and the wedding of the medicine clan is basically those fixed dishes.
But Yaochen can't be idle, he is attending the wedding for the first time, let alone his own wedding.
Besides, this day is destined to be one that will not end peacefully.
Father Yaoqiu was ostensibly preparing for the wedding, but behind the scenes, he was still preparing for the launching ceremony of the Medicine Clan's Great Array.
Once the medicine clan array is activated, it will inevitably be a huge consumption, and the medicine mound must always be prepared for the normal activation of the large array, so the henchmen must be specially selected.
And Yan Zheng also seems to be living leisurely...... In fact, he is also living a leisurely life.
The affairs of the imperial kingdom were handed over to the eldest son, and with the help of one of the three ancient clans, even a pig could not destroy the country.
What's more, half of his henchmen and comrades-in-arms are in the palace and occasionally report back the latest situation, so what he, the emperor who shook his hand, is called a comfortable one.
"We need a dish that can highlight the characteristics of our medicine clan and the characteristics of the Yanfei royal family. "
Yaochen looked carefully through the recipe, which came from the imperial dining room that accompanied the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom.
The above are all the special dishes of the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom, and although the library of the medicine clan has some recipes from all over the world, even if those things are recent, they can be traced back to a hundred years ago.
For example, there are whole stewed roast pork dishes, salad dishes mixed with vegetables and fruits, and various special barbecue dishes.
And the recipes of the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom are a lot more exquisite
The processing and seasoning of ingredients have become more refined, with the birth of sauces and seasoning powders, which are important signs of the evolution of cooking.
But ......
"Still too far behind......
".Yao Chen said softly, according to Yao Chen's understanding, the cooking level of this Yanfei Imperial Kingdom can only reach the level of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The biggest step forward is the advent of stir-frying, which can thoroughly and evenly heat the ingredients while preserving their original flavor.
At the same time, dry frying and wet frying have a great pungent aroma, which is the so-called pot gas.
However, there are so many ingredients in this world that there are unknown possibilities, and you can turn two pages and you will find new ingredients and recipes.
"Sanshao, how is this dish?".
Wang Wei pointed to a stir-fried dish in the book - fairy jade white meat.
This is a dish made by removing the thorns of white fish and thinly slicing it, wrapping it in egg whites, blanching the fish, and stir-frying with a white fruit.
There is also a tradition of using this white fruit in medicine among the medicine family, this fruit is sweet and delicious when eaten raw, and it is milled into powder after being concocted into medicine.
It can be cultivated and solidified, so it is also a common medicinal material in the world, and some people like its crisp taste to make it into cold dishes.
"This dish has both medicinal herbs and the meaning of fish in water, and the name is also very exquisite, isn't it the best testimony of the union between our two families?"
But Yaochen shook his head and dismissed the idea.
"No, there is a mind but no creativity, the white fish is something that can be obtained anywhere, and it does not highlight the momentum of the imperial country. "
"The totem of the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom is a kind of flying bird, it is said that the first emperor saw this kind of flying bird soaring into the sky and breaking through the clouds in the high mountains, so he set this flying bird as his surname and country name. "
Wang Wei said what he knew about the original history of the Yanfei Imperial Kingdom, and these deeds were actually heard by any civilians in the surrounding area.
But the closure of the medicine clan made Yaochen know very little about these things.
The family rules of the medicine family ensure that the prescriptions of the medicine family are absolutely correct and effective, and they are much more reliable than the blind research of ordinary people under the study of the times.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
"Yan Fei...... Feiyan ...... Bird's nest?".
"Bird's nest is a good ingredient, but it is tasteless, and it is basically eaten with various sugar waters. "
"Why don't you replace this delphinium with other birds?"
"Then it's small birds like lattice and quails. "
"Sure enough, if you want to highlight the characteristics of the medicine family, it is the medicinal soup, so you can only use the stewing method, right?"
Yaochen nodded, and said that the most basic medicinal diet is medicinal soup, such as nourishing chicken soup, pear soup that moistens the lungs, and hoof soup that nourishes the skin.
"So what kind of bird, what medicine, what smell to use?"
"Pheasants, pheasants, pigeons...... You can't go find the phoenix, can you?"
Wang Wei's unintentional words surprised Yaochen.
"Do you know where there is a phoenix?".
Yaochen's question also made Wang Wei startled.
"Do you really want to eat?".
He knows Sanshao's temperament, maybe he can really do the ridiculous thing of killing a phoenix to eat, but the phoenix is so easy to take down the ingredients!
"Ah...... No, just talk about it. "
Yaochen's hesitation made Wang Wei swallow a mouthful of saliva in his heart, he had seriously considered it!
"The pigeons are the closest in size and are very luscious in soup. "
"Hmm...... But if the pigeon soup is dispensed...... Jujube, wolfberry, longan...... Longan?".
Yaochen seemed to have received a revelation from heaven, and there was a vague shadow in his mind, but a piece of the puzzle was still missing!
"Dragon's Eye...... Dragon...... Dried longan ...... Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow...... This is good!".
Yaochen hurriedly picked up the pen on the side and waved his big hand - "Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow Soup"!
Wang Wei suddenly felt his eyes light up when he saw these five words!
"Okay! What a dragon liver and phoenix marrow, a talented woman! The name is so domineering, it will definitely not wipe the face of the two families!".
Immediately afterward, Yaochen wrote down the ingredients needed for this dish with a stroke of pen again.
Ingredients: pigeons, dried earthworms.
"Dried earthworms, yes, this dried earthworm is also commonly known as the earth dragon, and it is a medicinal herb that symbolizes the dragon!"
Excipients: longan, jujube, wolfberry, swallow's tail ......
"Three Less...... The medicinal properties of this swallow's tail...... How do you get into this soup?".
The
swallow's tail has a bitter and flat taste, so how can the bitter taste be flattened when used to cook vegetables? Wang Wei took a decoction containing swallow's tail because of eczema when he was young.
The taste can't be said to be unpleasant, at best it's disgusting.
Therefore, Wang Wei is very puzzled, what kind of skills does Sanshao have to remove this bitter taste, while retaining the medicinal properties and improving the taste?
The corners of Yaochen's mouth rose, and instead of dictating, it was better to practice, so he took Wang Wei out to find some fresh swallow tails.
"Sanshao, this is not a swallow's tail. "
Yaochen picks a kind of green and leafy, slender needle-like wild vegetables, this kind of wild vegetables are commonly known as swallow tails, which is an ingredient that Yaochen has eaten by chance in his previous life.
Despite its name, this wild vegetable also tastes slightly bitter, but with a quick blanching, it removes a lot of bitterness.
In terms of processing method, swallow's tail is more suitable as a side dish for this soup than medicinal herbs, which is one of the reasons why Yaochen chose this thing.
The current season is cool autumn, the pigeons are plump, and the longan is sweet.
The
rest of the ingredients are not hard to come by, the key is how to mix them together perfectly.
The pigeons are treated very simply, the throat is cut and the blood is bled and the hair is scalded with boiling water, and then the internal organs and lumps of flesh are removed.
Use a large knife to easily chop into pieces and put them in clean water, first let the water dilute the blood in it, which can remove the fishy smell to a certain extent.
Then sprinkle the chopped shallots and onions with fine salt and knead them, add water to make a bowl of shallot-flavored brine, the pressure of the brine allows the spice and salt flavor to penetrate into the pigeon meat.
After steeping a cup of tea, the meat is removed and heated in a pot of cold water.
After a while, the kung fu pigeon soup boiled, and large swaths of blood foam surfaced.
Remove the blood foam, immediately turn off the fire, take out the pigeon meat and rinse it with cold water.
In this way, the pigeons are dealt with in advance, and then the ground dragon is treated.
The
concoction of the dried earth dragon has been dissected, dirty, and dried, so there is basically nothing dirty that cannot be eaten, just a piece of flesh.
Soak the dried dragon in clean water to rinse off the wind and sand, and then soak it in clean water again to make it soft again.
If you don't soak the dried dragon, the dried and cooked dried dragon will become extremely unchewable.
Take two soup cups, put in pigeon meat, soaked dried dragon, longan, wolfberry, jujube and other ingredients, then add shallots and ginger to remove the smell, and finally add water to cover.
Yaochen didn't put the swallow's tail in it, because the swallow's tail is a fresh ingredient, and if you put it too early, it will become soft and muddy.
They just tried it out this time, so they didn't try it out a lot.
Yaochen took out the Hundred Beast Zhan Long Ding, put the two soup cups in it, and slowly simmered it with minimal firepower.
The pressure in the Hundred Beasts Zhan Long Ding slowly increased, as if it was an industrial pressure cooker.
Under the action of high pressure, even a small amount of fire can stew and feed the soup in a very fast time.
After about an hour of stewing, Yaochen unveiled the lid.
Suddenly, an indescribable mellow fragrance wafted into the noses of the two.
The fishy smell of the pigeon is completely removed, and the sweetness of jujube, wolfberry, and longan is slowly released, making people can't help but want to taste it now.
But the soup was not yet fully ready, and Yaochen threw the scalded swallow's tail into the soup.
A good fragrance suddenly overwhelmed the sweetness of the herbs and the smell of pigeon's meat.
Sprinkle in some salty salt to taste, and the prototype of this dragon liver and phoenix marrow soup is truly completed!
