God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

The appearance of egg tarts also received unanimous praise from everyone.

The only drawback was that the egg tarts were too small and there were not enough of them, with each person only getting two.

I eat one bite at a time, and just as I can taste the flavor, it's gone.

If I were to make egg tarts according to the two little ones' wishes, they would have to be as big as a washbasin so that they would be full after eating just one at a meal.

Li Heng naturally had his own considerations. What he made was a dessert, not a full meal, so it was unlikely that people could eat as much as they wanted.

After seeing everyone off, Li Heng resumed his lazy state, set up a lounge chair in the yard, and began to bask in the sun.

He had done enough this morning, breakfast and dessert, plus he had gotten up early, so he decided to take a nap.

As soon as he lay down, Li Heng began to have wild thoughts.

"I brought back some limestone from the cave a few days ago, but I haven't processed it yet. I must pickle some preserved eggs when I have time. I wonder if the two little guys can get used to the taste of preserved eggs..."

"The production of pickled mustard greens is not finished yet. We have to continue working on it tomorrow. What dish should we make with them?"

"Glutinous rice is delicious. Can we make some glutinous rice flour and use it to make glutinous rice balls? Isn't that good..."

"I still have to go to Sister Hua's place several times a day. The milk supply cannot be interrupted. There are still many dairy products waiting for me to make..."

Although Li Heng still had many ideas in his mind that had not been realized, he put them aside temporarily.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Heng finally stopped thinking and fell into a deep sleep.

Li Heng did not prepare any new dishes for lunch and dinner.

Of course, the new dishes mentioned here are from the perspective of Li Heng and his group. For other disciples of the Lingzhi Sect, they are still new dishes.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Heng took out the pottery jar containing the Star Spirit Grass, opened the seal and checked.

After a day of stewing, the Star Grass in the pot has begun to turn yellow.

Don't worry, this is normal and there are two different ways to deal with it.

One is to directly take the whole plant of Star Spirit Grass to a sunny place in the yard to dry it in the sun.

The second is to cut these star grasses into small pieces and then take them out to dry.

After cutting, dry it in the sun. You don’t need to cut it again when you eat it. The disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of space when drying.

Anyway, in the end, there is no difference in appearance and taste between the pickled mustard greens made in the two ways.

In order to save time, Li Heng simply chose not to cut it.

In the small courtyard, in the same place and on the same wooden frame, the Star Spirit Grass was placed there for the second time.

After a whole day of sunlight exposure, Li Heng came back in the evening to check on the condition of the Star Spirit Grass.

The rhizome of the Star Spirit Grass has begun to shrink inward due to loss of water.

The leaves have also turned yellow and look a bit like dead leaves.

"Brother Li Heng, have these Star Spirit Grasses gone bad? Or should we throw them away earlier?"

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that these were all failed products caused by Li Heng's operational errors.

"Stop it! This is exactly the effect I want. I spent a lot of time to get them. How can I throw them away?"

"But, look at their leaves, they are so dry, can they really be eaten?"

Lu Xiaoxiao fiddled with a plant of Star Spirit Grass on a shelf. She really couldn't imagine how Brother Li Heng would turn this pile of dead leaves into delicious food.

Although they had doubts, or more accurately, were curious, this did not affect the two kids helping Li Heng with his work.

Tian Xiu was also helping, but he didn't have as many questions as the two little ones.

"Stinky tofu is such a stinky thing, but you two seem to enjoy it, right? So just trust me. If I say I can turn it into a delicacy, then I can do it."

"Hehe, we don't doubt you, we're just a little curious!"

The two kids told the truth.

After Li Heng put away the Star Spirit Grass that was drying in the yard, he took the three people into the kitchen.

He and Tian Xiu set up two steamers on the stove, and after the water was heated, they put the dried Star Spirit Grass into them.

After steaming it over high heat for a quarter of an hour, take it out and the steamed Star Spirit Grass will have regained some moisture.

As soon as Li Heng opened the steamer, he could smell the unique aroma of pickled mustard greens besides the steam that hit his face.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Li Heng could smell it, and the two little ones and Tian Xiu could naturally smell it as well.

"Yes! We can't wait to taste the pickled mustard greens that Brother Li Heng mentioned."

This at least proved to them that Li Heng was not fooling around, and that soon a new delicacy would be born from his hands.

"You can't eat it now, but you should be able to eat it at noon tomorrow."

I just steamed it once and the fragrance is a little weak, which is definitely not enough.

"The three of you come with me and hang these dried vegetables up again."

"okay!"

After seeing the hope of success, the two kids worked with more energy than before.

With the help of these three people, Li Heng did feel a lot more relaxed.

Nothing happened that night. It was the morning of the third day. Li Heng and the other three people appeared in the kitchen again after breakfast.

Li Heng didn't waste any time and directly put the dried vegetables into the steamer again.

I started steaming for the second time, and the operation was no different from yesterday.

However, when Li Heng opened the steamer again, the aroma of the pickled mustard greens was several times stronger than yesterday, and in just a moment, it filled the entire kitchen.

"Haha, it's done!"

"Today at noon, I have to use it to make a dish to reward the four of us and let you know that your hard work these past few days has not been in vain."

As long as the drying is done for the final time, the pickled mustard greens that Li Heng has been dreaming of will be ready.

It should be noted that the last drying should not last as long as the previous times; about half an hour is enough.

That's why Li Heng promised the three of them that they could eat pickled mustard greens at noon today.

The three-day production of pickled mustard greens finally came to a successful conclusion today.

In fact, the three steamings and three dryings in "three steamings and three dryings" have different purposes each time.

During the first steaming, only let the star grass reach 80% cooked, which can reduce the loss of vitamins.

The second steaming is to make the pickled mustard greens more fragrant and soft.

The third steaming not only enhances the aroma, but also makes the color of the pickled mustard greens more brilliant.

As for the effect of three dryings, there is no change, they are all for reducing the moisture in the pickled mustard greens.

After the final drying, the pickled mustard greens are ready.

If you want to preserve them for a longer time, you can pickle them with salt.

First, put the pickled mustard greens into a bowl, then add salt into the bowl. The ratio of salt should be one ounce of salt for every pound of vegetables.

Then rub the pickled mustard greens with your hands until the salt in the basin melts and is completely absorbed by the pickled mustard greens.

Li Heng estimated that the pickled mustard greens he made would not last for more than a few meals, so there was no need to spend more time pickling them.
