God of Cooking, grilling skewers attracted the fairy beasts

Li Heng took the two little ones out of the yard and looked around for suitable mud.

Soon, suitable yellow mud was found under a naturally formed slope.

"This mud doesn't look delicious!"

Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a piece of mud, looked at it carefully, and even got closer to smell it, but didn't smell any fragrance.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an edible ingredient.

"I just want to use it to pickle preserved eggs! Do you really want to eat dirt?"

After collecting dozens of kilograms of yellow mud, Li Heng stood up and planned to take the two little ones back home.

"Okay! Brother Li Heng, you just said you wanted to cook with mud. So you were just teasing us again?"

"Brother Li Heng, you are such a big liar! Xiao Chi will never believe you again!"

The two kids went there in high spirits, but were about to return disappointed, so the eldest brother was naturally unhappy.

"So, you really want to eat dirt?"

Li Heng stopped, turned around and asked the two kids.

"I didn't want to do this originally. It's all Brother Li Heng's fault. You aroused our curiosity."

Xiao Chi crossed his arms and said unhappily.

"Okay! Since you all said so, I will satisfy your curiosity!"

"But this yellow mud can't be eaten. We have to find another kind."

Li Heng was not in a hurry to go back. He planned to go further to search. Fortunately, there was a mountain under their feet and the last thing they lacked was mud.

"Hey, good!"

"Snapped!"

Having achieved their goal, the two little ones jumped up and clapped their hands, then happily followed Li Heng's steps.

Li Heng walked in front, listening to the two little ones who were extremely happy behind him, but he had no idea what they were so happy about.

Are you tired of delicious food and want to change your taste?

The three of them searched as they walked, and after walking forward for several dozen feet, they came to the foot of a cliff, where the Guanyin soil that Li Heng was looking for was found.

The so-called Guanyin soil is just a name given to it by people, which is full of beautiful meaning. Its scientific name is kaolin.

In ancient China, Guanyin was a bodhisattva who saved people from suffering and peace. During the great famine, Guanyin soil was indeed used as food to satisfy hunger.

Li Heng picked up some Guanyin soil from the cliff, then returned with the two little ones.

"Brother Li Heng, have you ever eaten this kind of mud?"

"No."

"Then how do you know it's edible?"

"Hey, you two! Where do all these questions come from? If you keep asking me, I won't do it for you two."

On the way back, the two little ones kept chattering and asking questions. Unable to bear the annoyance, Li Heng had to threaten them.

"Hehe, don't! We won't ask!"

In order to "enjoy the feast", the two had to choose to keep their mouths shut for the time being.

After returning to the yard, the two immediately started clamoring for Li Heng to make mud for them to eat.

"What's the hurry? Let me finish my work first."

Li Heng planned to pickle the preserved eggs first, and then play with the two little ones.

"I have a small task for you to do. Please pick out the stones, bugs, tree roots and other impurities in here. I will need them soon."

After saying that, Li Heng took out the yellow mud he had just collected and placed it in front of the two little ones.

The two nodded, squatted down and started working.

Li Heng first took out the tea leaves and teapot, brewed a pot of tea, filtered out the tea leaves, and put the tea aside to cool.

Then he took out a few pieces of limestone from the ring. The quicklime used to make preserved eggs is converted from limestone, so they only need to be processed simply.

First, lift it up into the air with your hands, then light a flame, wrap it around the limestone, and burn it at high temperature.

To burn limestone into quicklime, the temperature must reach at least one thousand degrees.

The flame in his palm can even melt ordinary iron, so there is no need to worry about the problem of low temperature.

After firing continuously for several minutes, the originally grayish-white stones had transformed into pure white, which meant that they had turned into quicklime.

The quicklime is ready, and the other ingredients are all available.

Li Heng found a larger clay pot, put in ten ounces of quicklime, and pounded it into powder.

He also asked Tian Xiu for some baking soda, about two taels, which he dissolved in water and heated up, and he got the alkaline water that Li Heng needed.

At this time, the two little ones' work was almost completed, and the tea next to them had also gone cold.

First pour the tea and alkaline water into the ceramic pot together.

As soon as lime powder comes into contact with water, it begins to react and releases heat.

Then Li Heng added two spoonfuls of salt and two small pieces of processed yellow mud into the pottery jar.

Then use your hands to mix the various ingredients in the jar evenly. If you are an ordinary person without any cultivation, it is best to wear gloves when doing this step.

Because the reaction between quicklime and alkaline water will produce a strong alkali, if you don't take proper protection, you will burn your hands.

However, a cultivator like Li Heng, who has achieved some accomplishment, does not have to worry about this problem.

He directly used the power of the God of Cooking to put on a pair of invisible gloves on his hands.

At this point, the mud for pickling century eggs is ready, and now we can start processing the eggs.

Li Heng found another basin and put the 100 eggs he had carefully selected into it.

Add clean water and a small amount of salt into the basin to clean the stains on the surface of the eggs.

The reason for adding this step is that the eggshell wrapping the egg is not airtight, but is covered with tiny pores that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

If the stains on the surface are not cleaned clean, they will seep into the eggs through the pores over a long period of time.

Also pay attention when washing. If the egg floats on the water, don't use it.

Wash the eggs, dry them first, then put them in the special mud, roll them around, and make sure the surface of the eggs is covered with a thin layer of mud.

Finally, prepare some rice husks, put the eggs wrapped in mud into them, and then wrap them with a layer of rice husks.

The function of rice husks, in addition to fixing the mud, is also to allow the aroma of rice to penetrate into the eggs.

After completing the above steps, put the processed raw preserved eggs into a clean water tank one by one.

Cover the tank and place it in a cool place. Then all you have to do is wait quietly for ten days.

Because Li Heng has the blessing of the formation, it is naturally impossible for him to wait patiently for ten days, by which time the opportunity will be gone.

By this time tomorrow, he will be able to see the results.

"Brother Li Heng, are you done with your work?"

Li Hengcai put the water tank in place, and the two little ones came over at the right time.

"I know! I know!"

"I'll do it for you guys. I don't know what's so exciting about mud."

Helpless Li Heng went back to the yard, took out a few lumps of earth, and looked at them for a long time, not knowing how to start.

"How about you two just take it and chew it?"

The two little ones shook their heads repeatedly. Who could eat it like this?

"Okay, let me give it a try. I can't guarantee that the food I make will be really delicious!"

Li Heng suddenly remembered that he had seen a similar video in his previous life, in which some black uncles far away in Africa made biscuits out of mud and ate them as their staple food.
