Chapter 54: Glass Duck Head
Yuelaiju, Songyue Pavilion.
Yan Nantian frowned slightly, considering Lin Yue'er's proposal, Yan Nantian is just a chef now. If he wants to quickly improve his status, this time it will definitely be a good opportunity.
Otherwise, the flesh and blood of the monsters were extremely precious, and with Yan Nantian's own financial resources, they could not afford it, let alone cooking. After Yan Nantian was silent for a moment, he decided to fight for this opportunity.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I accept your proposal."
"Then let me introduce how you plan to cook the jade duck?" Lin Yue'er asked.
"Shopkeeper Lin, I want to look at the manual of first-level ingredients and determine the ingredients of this dish." Yan Nantian suggested.
"Hmph, isn't that recipe passed down from your family? Why do you need to read the ingredients manual again? Could it be that you were lying just now, and now you want to make up a few ingredients temporarily?" Liu Qiming's eyes were shining, as if he was staring at a wild dog staring at a prey, questioning.
"If the ingredients I made up temporarily can be recognized by two spiritual chefs, then my cooking skills will be not far from the realm of the chef god." Yan Nantian sneered.
"Xue'er, get a first-level food manual for Brother Yan." Lin Yue'er ordered.
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Yan Nan Tiandao.
The Magu duck head that Yan Nantian wants to make was invented by a woman named Magu in the early Qing Dynasty. This dish is not only delicious, but the most important thing is to completely preserve the nutrition of the duck head.
The ingredients used for this Magu duck head are also some of the more precious ones, including Cordyceps sinensis, Grass fruit, cumin, pepper, ginger, jasmine, pear, tangerine peel, **, salt, etc.
Among them, the most important one is Cordyceps sinensis, which is a traditional Chinese precious Chinese medicinal material. A pound of Cordyceps sinensis is worth 100,000 yuan and contains extremely rich nutrition.
The reason why Yan Nantian reads the first-level food ingredient manual is to replace the ingredients on the earth with the ingredients from the Tianyuan Continent according to their effects and effects. This is definitely not an easy task.
Even with Yan Nantian's profound cooking skills, you have to study it repeatedly and carefully consider it. Otherwise, if the ingredients are not properly processed, it may affect the spiritual power of the whole dish.
Yan Nantian took the ingredient manual and carefully looked through each ingredient to find the ingredient with the most similar functions. He also had to correspond to many ingredients one by one to avoid the situation where the ingredients were incompatible.
Magu Duck Head requires a lot of ingredients. Yan Nantian needs to replace many ingredients one by one, which also takes a lot of time to think about it. In a blink of an eye, an incense stick of time passed.
When Zhou Xuebin and Wu Qiankun were studying Lingchu dishes, they often forgot time, so they didn't care about it. Lin Yue'er's beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and she couldn't see anything unusual. However, Chen Xue and Liu Qiming were a little impatient.
"Yan Nantian, are you okay? If you are not sure, don't waste our time." Liu Qiming whispered.
Yan Nantian ignored Liu Qiming's question and continued to look through the manual. Zhou Xuebin, Lin Yueer, Wu Qiankun and others did not respond. Although Liu Qiming was dissatisfied, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
After another half a quarter of an hour, Yan Nan Tiancai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to everyone, and said, "I'm sorry, you have been waiting for a long time."
When everyone heard Yan Nantian speak, they looked over. Lin Yueer asked, "Brother Yan, how are you considering the ingredients for cooking jade duck heads?"
"I'm ready, let's talk about you two seniors." Yan Nantian responded and said slowly: "The dish I want to make is called Glazed Duck Head. In addition to the jade duck head, the most important ingredient is Glazed Cordyceps."
After some research just now, Yan Nantian replaced some ingredients, Cordyceps sinensis with Glass Cordyceps, and changed the name of Magu duck head and directly changed it to Glass Duck Head.
"Cordyceps?"
After hearing the first ingredient that Yan Nantian said, Zhou Xuebin couldn't help but move slightly, lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Duck meat is cold in nature, and Cordyceps is hot. When the two are cooked together, the combined spiritual power will be more pure."
"Cornet with jade duck is indeed a good match, but Cornet is quite special and belongs to fungi and insect parasites. Once cooked at high temperature, these two spiritual powers may be separated, resulting in disorder in the spiritual power of the dish." Wu Qiankun analyzed it and questioned:
"How should you solve this?"
"There is a companion plant called Tianlan Grass. This grass has no spiritual power itself, but it has a special function that can coordinate the spiritual power of Cordyceps itself and keep the spiritual power of Cordyceps stable." Yan Nantian explained.
"Hmph, even if you are right about these two points, the inside of the duck head is very complicated, and the spiritual power of each part of the duck head is also different. Some parts can be absorbed by the human body as long as they are cooked a little, and spiritual power will be lost over time. Some parts need to be cooked for a long time, otherwise the impurities in the spiritual power cannot be removed. How should you solve this problem?" Wu Qiankun asked.
"Senior Wu, I naturally understand this situation. During a certain period of cooking, different ingredients will be added to protect the integrity of the duck head's spiritual power, but the specific ingredients added are inconvenient to reveal." Yan Nantian said perfunctorily, and then said to Lin Yue'er beside him:
"Shopkeeper Lin, I have just mentioned two ingredients. If I have more, I'm afraid the recipe will be leaked. As for whether I have the ability to cook jade duck, you still need to judge for yourself?"
Seeing Yan Nantian talking very well and looking confident, Lin Yue'er was also a little confused. She turned her head and looked at Zhou Xuebin and Wu Qiankun and asked, "Brother Zhou, Brother Wu, what do you think of the ingredients that Brother Yan just listed?"
"There is no mistake in the two ingredients at present. The duck meat and cordyceps are the only way to make the spiritual power of this dish more complicated and the difficulty of cooking will increase. As for whether you can make this dish well, it depends on the other auxiliary ingredients." Wu Qiankun explained.
"Yes, I agree with Brother Wu." Zhou Xuebin nodded in agreement.
Lin Yue'er's beautiful eyes flashed and she looked at the three of them. Zhou Xuebin and Wu Qiankun were both spiritual chefs. Lin Yue'er naturally believed in their abilities. If they said they could make jade duck heads, Lin Yue'er would definitely believe it.
However, the two spiritual chefs are ambiguous and do not have the confidence to make jade duck heads. Instead, Yan Nantian, the new chef, is full of confidence, and no matter how you look at this scene, it is a bit weird.
Since Lin Yue'er can become the shopkeeper of the restaurant, he is naturally not a person without decision. Since the two ingredients that Yan Nantian just mentioned have been recognized by the two spiritual chefs, it proves that Yan Nantian has certain abilities. In addition, Yan Nantian is full of confidence, so what if Lin Yue'er believes him once.
What's more, life is a bet. If Yan Nan really can make the spiritual dish of jade duck heads, then it can be considered to have discovered a genius and has greater value for the restaurant.
"Since you are so confident, sister, I will trust you once and provide you with free ingredients. However, if you can't make the spiritual dish of jade duck heads, I won't spare you." Lin Yue'er chuckled, waved her fist, and said with a smile.
"Thank you, the shopkeeper." When Yan Nantian heard Lin Yue'er agree, he showed a hint of joy and said.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Wu, Brother Yan, when are you going to cook? I will have someone provide you with jade ducks on time." Lin Yue'er asked.
"Let's go tomorrow morning." Wu Qiankun said.
"Tomorrow afternoon." Zhou Xuebin said.
"The morning after tomorrow." Yannan Tiandao.
"Then I will send someone to prepare and try to provide you with fresh ingredients." Lin Yue'er responded, discussed some details with the three of them, and then sent the four of them out of Songyue Pavilion.
...
After watching the four people leave, Lin Yue'er and Chen Xue stood at the door and whispered.
"Shopkeeper, you asked me to bring Brother Yan here specifically. Did you know that he could make jade duck heads?" Chen Xue stood beside him and said in confusion.
"No, I just found out, too." Lin Yue'er said.
"Then why did you specifically instruct me to let him come with you?" Chen Xue asked.
"There were some things originally, but now I'm not in a hurry. If he could make a spiritual dish with jade duck head, I would naturally talk to him again. If he couldn't make this spiritual dish, it proved that he was just a person with great ambitions and slutty and talked wildly, so there would be no need to talk again." Lin Yue'er explained.
"Shopkeeper, the restaurant will bear all the ingredients for cooking jade duck heads this time. If no three of them can make spiritual dishes, wouldn't the restaurant suffer a huge loss?" Chen Xue said worriedly.
"Some things cannot be judged by the gains and losses in front of us. Du Youzhen is willing to buy dishes at three times the price, which is enough to prove that his friend has extraordinary identity. Moreover, based on the information I have obtained, he can guess the identity of this person. If he can make friends with this person, it will be of great benefit to our Yuelaiju." A glimmer flashed in Lin Yue'er's eyes and said.
"What a pity, if Li Yue'e Ling Chu was in the restaurant, it wouldn't have been so complicated." Chen Xue sighed, then showed a curiosity, and asked:
"Shopkeeper, who among these three people can make this spiritual dish with jade duck head?"
After hearing Chen Xue's words, Lin Yue'er pondered for a moment, but did not answer directly, and asked back: "What do you think?"
"I don't know who can make spiritual dishes?" Chen Xue stretched out her little hand, touched her chin and smiled:
"However, I couldn't help but think in my heart, if neither of the two spiritual chefs could make it, but Yan Nantian made the spiritual dish instead, what would it be like?"
