Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 818: Jianghuai Treasure Land
Fortunately, Liang Qu is not the donkey from Guizhou.

He Huai ape.

"Oh, you're making a big show. Do you have to wear a crown just to cook?"

Su Guishan took out a fried egg from a porcelain bowl, and when he looked up, he saw Liang Qu coming out of the room wearing a white jade crown.

"I haven't cooked for a long time, so my mind is a little fuzzy. This snack takes a lot of time to make."

“Just do it.”

"Understood, Eying, come and lend a hand!"

"Wang!"

Hearing that there was food to be eaten, the black dragons and river otters all perked up, wagging their tails and following Liang Qu, sitting in a row in front of the door waiting.

Liang Qu asked Long Yao and Long Li to boil another pot of water.

Su Guishan wants it sweet.

Can only make snacks.

There are many kinds of snacks in this world, including egg yolk pastries, crystal cakes, and candied fruits. Some are complex and some are delicious. It is not his job to make ordinary snacks. The best he can do is some ice cream, but that is an "old thing" from several years ago. However, after searching his mind just now, Liang Qu found that he really had an idea.

Take out eggs, butter, sugar, milk, corn oil from the small ice cellar under the kitchen...

The ice cellar was newly built this year.

The fat catfish and the fist worked together to dig, and Long'e Ying made ice reserves, which were better than refrigerators and were specially used to store eggs, milk and the like.

"What delicious food is the elder making?"

Long Yao and Long Li surrounded them, very excited.

Ice cream every summer is their happy time.

"Only those who work get to eat. Go, beat the eggs, pick out all the yolks and beat them well."

"As ordered!"

"What should I do?" Long Aying asked.

"It's not urgent now. It will be very useful later. I can't do without you. Come!"

Liang Qu stretched out his hands.

Long Eying rolled up her sleeves, but finding it was not secure, she took off her hairband to secure it.

Everything is ready.

First, compact the flour and use chopsticks to poke a few air holes in it. Then, steam it in boiling water for a quarter of an hour and use a bamboo sieve to remove the small lumps inside.

"Making puff pastry?" Su Guishan walked into the kitchen at some point.

"Uncle has a keen eye!" Liang Qu answered while working.

Flour is divided into high-gluten and low-gluten, which actually refers to the protein content.

Those with high protein content are suitable for making noodles and gluten, while those with low protein content are suitable for making pastries such as puff pastry. Although ordinary cooks have no concept of protein, it does not mean that they cannot make it. Pastry chefs of various factions have already mastered the ins and outs of pastry making. After steaming, medium-gluten flour is turned into low-gluten flour. When it falls into the eyes of a gourmet like Su Guishan, he can guess what is going to be made at a glance.

popping.

After patting it twice, Liang Qu poured out the remaining flour from the small lumps he had sifted out, and added oil, water and salt. He seldom went to the kitchen, so it was difficult for him to grasp the ratio of water, flour and salt.

Just make a rough outline of it.

"Eying! The critical moment has come!"

"Frozen now?"

"No, knead the dough with me."

After saying this, Liang Qu hugged Long Eying from behind.

Long Eying was surprised at first, she thought it had to be her, and that something was going to be frozen, but then she smiled and cooperated.

Crack!

The firewood in the stove exploded and sparks floated in the air.

Two people use four hands to knead the dough on the wooden table. They accidentally add too much water and the dough becomes sticky. It sticks to each other's fingers, so they need to rub the sticky dough off along their fingers.

Grab a handful of extra flour and mix it in.

Knead and squeeze.

White dust rose up.

Su Guishan: “…”

Long Yao, Long Li: "..."

The black dragon blocking the door opened its mouth and yawned, then raised its hind legs and scratched its neck.

His fist suddenly clenched.

Su Guishan couldn't stand it any longer: "Are you done?"

"Hey, right now!"

Too much is as bad as too little. Knead the dough, cut it crosswise, and refrigerate it for a while. During this time, prepare the egg liquid, which is simply milk, egg yolk and sugar. At this step, it is quite clear what Liang Qu is going to do. Finally, shape the two prepared ingredients, put them in an iron plate and put them in the stove.

A light caramelized sweet aroma permeates the air.

Take out the iron plate.

The orange-gold steamed egg, slightly burnt inside, is embedded in the puff pastry.

The whole thing looks like a special small bowl catching the sweet steamed eggs. It was my first time making it, and a few things were not done properly, causing the egg liquid to flow out and break the shape, collapsing, but at least half of it was intact.

Fragrant!
The unique aroma of roasted noodles mixed with sweetness. Su Guishan took a deep sniff and generously forgave the little interest between young people.

"What is this?"

“Egg pastry!”

The fragrance is rich and you don’t have to worry about the heat.

Su Guishan picked one up and put it in his mouth, savoring it carefully.

Oolong, all the otters cast their eyes over.

"Uncle." Liang Qu said proudly, "How about the few people I recommended?"

Su Guishan brushed the debris off his beard.

"I never realized that apart from your practice, you actually have the ability to identify talent."

"Hahaha." Liang Qu couldn't help but grinned and took out the second and third iron plates. "It won't taste good when it's cold. Come and try it. It's not very good this time. It's overcooked and the pastry is too crispy. It falls apart when touched. Next time, ask Aunt Zhang to use butter filtered from cream. It will be more fragrant."

Long Eying took one with her hands to taste, while Long Yao and Long Li broke off the pastry and fed it to the otter.

The egg tarts come out from the oven one by one.

The whole courtyard was filled with a sweet fragrance, and Long Binglin and Fan Xinglai were all called into the kitchen.

"Xinglai, remember to rinse your mouth with water after eating, so as not to damage your teeth."

"I know, I know."

Fan Xinglai's cheeks were bulging.

The next day.

The cock has not yet crowed and it is still dark.

There are occasional cicada chirps.

The hot weather woke Li Shoufu up early. He opened his eyes and stared at the roof beams. Before he fully recovered, he asked the river official outside the house to wake him up. He hurried to the government office and suddenly received an order to raise food, fodder and medicinal materials.

It was pitch black outside. The moon had set and the sun had not risen yet. It was even darker than midnight.

Everything is quiet.

Li Shoufu's sleepy face showed a bit of confusion.

"Who?"

"you!"

"I?"

When Xihe Prefecture suffered disaster, Pingyang Prefecture allocated food, fodder and medicinal materials.

How could such an important matter fall into the hands of a mere clerk like him?
Outside the study.

Li Shoufu fell into deep thought.

"Old Li, work hard! I've given you this opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends entirely on you."

Liang Qu suddenly appeared and patted Li Shoufu on the shoulder.

opportunity?

what chance?
It was as if a spark ignited the fuse, burning the gunpowder with a hissing sound, and then exploding with a bang.

Li Shoufu shuddered, his heart pumping blood to his face, which turned red.

"Thank you, Sir Liang!"

……

"Longyuan Road is located in a deep canyon, full of Qi. At the same depth, the water pressure is much greater than other places, and it is full of turbulence.

Even if a great martial artist goes in, he will be injured if he does not have a certain level of horizontal training skills. It is very mysterious and can be considered a water treasure land for tempering qi and blood and strengthening the body. "

On the round back.

Long Binglin told Liang Qu the origin of the name Longyuan Dao.

It would take several days for Pingyang Prefecture to gather food and fodder, so naturally they would take this opportunity to get their hands on the dragon energy first.

"How many similar treasures are there in the Jianghuai Lake?" Liang Qu asked.

“Quite a few. The Western Waters we are going to is the Green Water Pond of the Turtle Tribe. It is a deep green spring that has miraculous healing effects, prolongs life, calms the mind, and is conducive to breaking through the realm.

In the Jianghuai Lake, similar treasures are mostly owned by owners. Some are given by the Dragon King, while others are occupied by force. Longyuan Dao was given by the Dragon King to the Longxun clan."

"Where are the Dragon People?"

"We, the Dragon People, usually live in the Dragon Palace. We don't have any special residence. Later, we were driven out by the dragons. We found a fertile land in the southwest waters that is suitable for growing giant water lilies and settled there."

"Who is coming?"

Clang!
Invisible ripples spread.

There was a metallic tremor.

Two huge shrimps with their backs raised and their heads pointed at each other, crossed and collided with each other, making a fierce and sharp sound.

Liang Qu stood on the fat catfish's forehead.

Look ahead.

A stretch of green hills.
