Staying In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 32: Butchering the Cow

Ye Tianhe's two fellow disciples left in the evening.

Upon hearing the news that the Western Wasteland was about to descend into chaos again, Old Ye couldn't sit still.

The next day, he took Su Fan back to Little Sun Market in a flying shuttle.

Ye Tianhe dropped Su Fan off at home, handed him a storage bag, and then left.

Su Fan's eyes widened as he held the storage bag given to him by Old Ye.

Sword cultivators are so wealthy, giving away storage bags from all directions just like that.

Since it was given, there was no need to be polite, so he accepted it.

Su Fan scanned with his divine sense and found that the storage bag contained two iron-skinned wild cows.

With a loud "boom," he threw one of the iron-skinned wild cows into the small courtyard, which could barely contain it.

Su Fan looked at the mountain-like monster and cursed in anger.

Such a large iron-skinned wild cow, weighing over ten tons, was not an easy thing to deal with.

Old Ye really didn't treat him as an outsider. He patted his butt and left, leaving him to do all the work.

Fresh meat couldn't be stored for long on a day like today.

Su Fan slapped the storage bag, summoned his longsword Law Weapon, pinched a finger, and the flying sword instantly slashed towards the iron-skinned wild cow.

He manipulated the longsword to dance up and down, cutting the iron-skinned wild cow into pieces.

The fresh beef from the cow's belly would be made into soy sauce meat.

He picked out the parts with a mix of fat and lean meat and cut them into strips, soaking them in the cooked sauce for three days before hanging them in the yard to dry.

He specially bought more than ten large water barrels from the market, or else they wouldn't fit.

The tenderloin, also known as fillet or beef tenderloin, was the most tender part of the beef and could be fried, roasted, or hot-pot cooked.

Especially the fillet steak, as long as it was cooked to medium-rare, it could conquer the taste buds with its fresh and juicy nature.

The outer skirt steak, with a mix of fat and lean meat and a white layer of fat around the periphery, was even more fragrant and had a better texture when fried or roasted because of the fat.

This was the part used for sirloin steak in the previous life.

When cutting the meat, it was cut together with the tendons, giving it a strong chewiness and a firm texture.

The eye of the meat near the ribs, the boneless part in the middle of the cow's body, had fat in the middle like an eye.

This part had a tender and juicy texture with abundant fat, suitable for hot-pot cooking, roasting, or frying.

There was also the front shank meat, which had less fat, but after slow stewing over low heat, it could present a delicate texture. It contained more tendons, and after braising, it could produce a rich gelatinous texture, with a strong and flavorful taste.

Su Fan cut the meat from these parts into complete pieces and packed them into jars, storing them in the storage bag.

In addition, parts like the brain, milong, chest, cucumber strips, chili pepper strips, beef tendon, beef cheeks, beef ladder, beef tail, beef tripe, beef tongue, beef heart, yellow throat, and so on, have all been cut and stored in the storage bag.

By the way, there's also a cow whip that's over a meter long, this is Monster's whip.

Fresh Monster meat can be kept for a considerable amount of time in the storage bag, ready to be used whenever needed.

Then there's the whole piece of animal skin, as well as artifact refining materials like cow horns, these things can be sold in the market.

Although they're not worth much, grasshoppers are still meat.

Other miscellaneous parts were all put into a storage bag and thrown away outside.

Su Fan's actions caused the courtyard to be filled with blood and limbs, with blood splatters everywhere.

He was busy until evening, and he was almost exhausted from the work.

The entire courtyard was covered in blood stains, and it took several cleansing talismans to clean it up.

Su Fan didn't even have the energy to cultivate, he went straight back to his room and fell onto the bed to sleep.

A few days later, Ye Tianhe came again.

As soon as he landed in the courtyard, he smelled a tempting fragrance.

Turning his head, he saw Su Fan sitting in front of an iron rack, frying meat.

Seeing Ye Tianhe arrive, he quickly waved at him.

"Old Ye, you came at the right time, taste this freshly fried steak..."

Looking at the courtyard filled with dried soy sauce meat, Ye Tianhe was a bit confused, wasn't it supposed to take a few more days?

He came to Su Fan's side and looked at the sizzling steak on the iron plate, his mouth watering.

"What are you up to again?"

Su Fan took the tongs and flipped the steak, sprinkling some seasonings on top.

"Fillet steak, it'll be ready soon..."

He hadn't been idle these past few days, he had custom-made a barbecue grill and grill pan in the market.

He also ordered several hot pots, including the old BJ-style copper hot pot, Sichuan-style mandarin duck hot pot, Cantonese-style hot pot, and several others.

He also bought a large amount of seasonings, although many seasonings from his previous life were not available, he could find substitutes in this world.

After seasoning, the taste was pretty close.

Monsters in the cultivation world, nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, may look rough and violent, but their meat is really tender.

A piece of fillet steak that was over two feet long, cut to a thickness of over an inch.

After frying for a while, it was almost done.

He took the steak off the iron plate, cut it into two pieces with a kitchen knife, placed them in two plates, and poured the sauce from the iron plate onto the steak.

"This is yours, eat it while it's hot..."

Just as Su Fan handed the plate to Old Ye, he snatched it away and started eating.

"Sigh..."

Taking out the custom-made knife and fork from the market, before he could hand it to Lao Ye, more than half of the steak on the plate was already gone.

Su Fan shook his head and then used a small knife to cut the steak into small pieces.

He stabbed a piece of steak with a fork, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"Mmm..."

It's really delicious.

In the past, when he ate Monster meat, he didn't pay much attention to it.

This time, he dealt with a whole Ironhide Barbarian Bull, facing a mountain of fresh beef, which reminded him of many eating methods from his previous life.

Moreover, the Monster's body was huge. Just the fillet in the shape of a tadpole was about two meters long.

There was also a cow tailbone several meters long, a one-meter-wide outer ridge, anyway, if an Ironhide Barbarian Bull was placed in his previous life, it would be considered a cow or something.

Ye Tianhe ate the steak with oil all over his mouth, and when he turned around and saw Su Fan, he was stunned.

"What are you holding?"

Looking at Lao Ye's appearance as if he had never seen the world, Su Fan almost burst out laughing.

He demonstrated with the knife and fork, and then handed them to Lao Ye.

"Big brother, have you never eaten meat before? You're really embarrassing as a sword cultivator..."

Lao Ye, I...

He glared at Su Fan, then took the knife and fork and ate with a learned manner.

"Let's have some skewers from the hanging stove tonight..."

Su Fan was amused, Lao Ye became addicted to skewers.

"Let's have hot pot tonight."

"What..."

"I've told you, you wouldn't understand. Just wait and see..."

Ye Tianhe was choked, glared at Su Fan, lowered his head, and continued eating meat.

In the evening, Su Fan set up the pot.

Today, he used an old BJ copper pot, first adding charcoal in the middle of the pot.

Then he poured Lingquan water into the pot and added several kinds of seasonings.

After finishing these, he called Lao Ye out of the house.

He took out a whole piece of eye meat, weighing more than ten catties, and placed it on the nearby table.

"Lao Ye, I'll leave the meat cutting to you..."

Ye Tianhe was about to refuse, but Su Fan waved his hand.

"Listen to me, you have to cut this meat, preferably as thin as paper, so it will taste better when we cook it later."

After Su Fan finished speaking, he took out a sword and handed it to Ye Tianhe.

Lao Ye took the sword, glanced at Su Fan, and then made a fierce slash.

After all, he grew up playing with swords since he was a child. With this slash, he cut a thin slice of meat.

Su Fan picked it up and looked at it. The almost transparent slice of meat was as thin as paper.

Eating hot pot in the cultivation world and having a sword cultivator cut the meat, it was quite awesome.

Lao Ye was very fast, and in a short while, he finished cutting the whole piece of eye meat.

Su Fan had already prepared the charcoal and placed various ingredients.

Lao Ye was dumbfounded. What kind of eating method was this?

This kid's mind, how does he always think about these unconventional methods?

"These are the seasonings. After we finish cooking, we dip the meat in them and eat..."

Su Fan placed the seasonings in front of Lao Ye and then started cooking the meat.

He picked up a thin slice of eye meat, blanched it in the boiling pot for a few seconds, took it out, dipped it in the seasoning, and then took a bite.

"Oh my... authentic..."

Although the seasonings were slightly different, it still had a bit of the taste of old BJ.

Ye Tianhe was dumbfounded and followed Su Fan's example to eat.

The meat melted in his mouth, and the fragrance and spiciness of the seasonings were refreshing.

Su Fan started picking up other ingredients, such as vegetables, black fungus, ling mushrooms bought from the market, as well as beef tripe, yellow throat, and meatballs made from beef neck meat, which were very elastic.

The only regret was that he couldn't find tofu.

Su Fan was already very satisfied. He didn't expect that he could taste the familiar flavors from his previous life after coming to the cultivation world.

In the following days, Lao Ye came over every day, and sometimes even had two meals a day.

Su Fan didn't mind, as he didn't find it interesting to eat alone.

After finishing the old BJ hot pot, they ate Sichuan hot pot and Cantonese hot pot.

After finishing the hot pot, they ate barbecue, such as Korean barbecue, pot-roasted meat, teppanyaki, they tried them all.

Later, dishes like grilled beef ribs, sliced beef, beef tendon, marinated beef tongue, beef shank stewed with radish, and beef tendon and brain stew were all served.

Anyway, Su Fan almost made all the beef dishes he knew from his previous life.

Originally, Ye Tianhe didn't pay much attention to food, but after coming to Little Sun District, he was led astray by Su Fan.

Thanks to the support from the two big shots, Guiyou Bai and Er Dian Er Shi Liang, and the recommendation tickets from Net Fiction Second Generation, Randomly Thought of a Name, Er Dian Er Shi Liang, Xuezhong Taohua Zui, Pclijie, Xingyue Tongying, and Net Fiction Third Generation, Old Bu expresses his gratitude and thanks everyone for their love and support.
