Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe
Chapter 74 Improving Cooking Skills
Xue Xi strolled around the Holy Land Palace and had a celebratory banquet, then she transformed into the Silver-Blue Queen. That's right, the Emperor of Black Dragon Mountain gave the Silver-Blue Empire to Xue Xi as a reward.
Of course, she didn't have the leisure time to become an empress, so she simply followed Manluo's advice and hired the former Silver-Blue Emperor to continue managing the empire, but he only needed to hand over 15% of the treasury income and taxes every year.
Although Xue Xi is not short of money, the treasury and taxes of a primary country in the universe can be used as pocket money for him. Anyway, he should not miss the benefits of getting something for free. As for the rewards for Luo Feng and others, it is said that the emperor cannot contact them yet, but he still has treasures to give them.
After receiving the admiration of a group of court ministers, Xue Xi made the excuse of preparing for the final battle, and then left in the eyes of a group of people who were reluctant to leave.
After returning to Qingfeng Villa, Xue Xi entered the kitchen on the attic floor that she had spent a huge amount of money to build. She planned to stay here for the next three years.
Moreover, it is only about a year and a half away from the successful brewing of the universe-level highland barley wine. Then she will try to see if she can upgrade the level of the braised pork elbow. The higher the probability, the bigger the noise she will make in Chaos City.
She is planning to open a store in Chaos City. Where else can the human race be safer than the original universe?
However, it seems that it is very difficult to settle in Chaos City. As far as she knows, there are three ways. The first is to pass the test of the 18th level of the Tongtian Bridge. The second is to have the invincible strength to be crowned king. The third is to be a person who has made significant contributions to the human race.
First, Xue Xi didn't even know which school of Chaos Monument to choose for her major in Cooking Law, let alone crossing the Sky Bridge. Could it be that she was asked to create her own school and carve a half-picture Chaos Monument? It was a bit unrealistic.
As for the second option, why would you stay in the initial universe when you are already invincible? Besides, if you open a store outside, the company will still have all kinds of messy assessment tasks thrown at you. Xue Xi has her own way to the sky, so why take that risk?
Therefore, I had to find a way to make my contribution to the human race so great that the human leaders would be moved, so that they would become dependent on the food I made and even afraid of losing me, and protect me, a weak person, under the nose of the Chaos City Lord.
As for the passenger flow, there is no need to worry. The time flow rate ratio between the initial universe and the original universe is 3:10. Moreover, Chaos City, which is known as the holy place for human cultivation, has people trying their best to get in at all times. The annual passenger flow is a terrifying number.
After being in a daze in front of the chopping board for a while, Xue Xi shook her head and brought herself back to her senses. Now she had four pages of recipes in her hand that could attract the attention of the top management.
There are three golden recipes, namely, braised pork elbow, highland barley wine and cloud mist tea. The gene multiplier of the braised pork elbow is a treasure for any race in the universe. The two-level cosmic effect of highland barley wine can have a great attraction to the high-level combat forces of the human race. There is no need to worry about cloud mist tea. The Optimus Prime that devours the world is the law, which can accelerate the perception of the law. Xue Xi even feels that this alone is enough.
But the Chinese always have a fear of insufficient firepower. The more chips they have, the more at ease they feel.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, Xue Xi pulled out a roaring Fire Scale Trident Pig from the space. Living in an environment specially arranged on Xue Xi's breeding planet, the level of this pig had reached the 3rd or 4th level of the star class, but under the coverage of Xue Xi's culinary laws, it instantly fell silent, lying on the ground trembling, ready to be slaughtered!
Xue Xi readily fed the pig a good feast, singed its hair, scraped its skin, gutted it, and put away some edible offal. Xue Xi then began to take out the meat for making braised pork elbow.
Elbow meat, the front elbow is located above the knee of the pig's front leg and below the sandwich meat, while the back elbow is located above the knee of the pig's hind leg and below the rump meat, crotch meat, and cucumber meat, and the elbow end is connected to the fan bone.
The characteristics of pork elbow meat are thick skin, many tendons, heavy gelatin, and more lean meat. It is suitable for cooking with the skin. It tastes fat but not greasy. It is the best meat for cooking braised pork elbow. Meat of such high grade is even better!
Take out the meat and store the unnecessary ones in the cold storage, then prepare sweet bean sauce, onion segments, ginger slices, garlic slices, peppercorns, star anise, cardamom, bay leaves... and many other ingredients. Every step is done meticulously. The next step should be to blanch the cleaned elbow meat.
However, if Xue Xi wants to improve the quality of her pork elbow, ordinary methods are no longer effective after years of experimentation.
At this time, Xue Xi looked at the various precision instruments that looked like a laboratory. The reason why human beings can continue to progress is because they can learn. Therefore, Xue Xi decided to use the several cosmic cooking instruments that Kevin introduced to her to keep up with the times!
Placing the elbow meat under the microscope-like operating table, Xue Xi began to operate the silver machine.
This is a flavor factor control instrument. It can select the flavor factors of ingredients, infinitely amplify the positive flavors, and remove all odors. It is a powerful tool that can extract the essence and discard the dross. It cost Xue Xi three Hunyuan units to buy it back from a down-and-out gourmet.
Xue Xi bit her tongue and concentrated on operating the factor controller. She found that the taste factors were mostly stored in the oil under the microscopic world of the elbow meat. As the saying goes, water is better at storing umami, and oil can accommodate a variety of aromas.
The extraction, fusion and storage of flavor factors are not completed in an instant, just like most things are a process rather than a result.
Things rarely happen overnight in cooking, and more often than not, chefs have to wait for the taste.
Xue Xi patiently carries out each step to perfection, from removing foreign substances and preserving aromas in the early stages of cooking, to adjusting the flavors in the middle stages, to replenishing and locking the flavors in the later stages. The entire process of obtaining the flavor requires time in exchange.
The culinary principles behind her operated automatically, and the aura became increasingly deep and mysterious. The large book in her mind cast another shadow, and the first picture of Yi Yin's preaching on it became clearer and clearer, and the characters, food, and even taste on it became more and more real.
Xue Xi was unaware of the strange movements in her mind and poured all her energy into the cooking in her hands.
Fry the spices, sauté the onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry the pork elbows, stew, add rock sugar and salt, then just wave your hand to turn the kitchen spirit fire to the bottom of the pot and let it simmer.
Collect the sauce and season. After the stewing is completed, open the lid and increase the heat to chef's level to collect the sauce. During the process, add appropriate amount of salt and braised soy sauce for seasoning.
Xue Xi waited until the soup in the pot became thick and the pork elbow was tender, then she scooped it out and served it out neatly.
Even with her current physical condition, she still felt a little stiff after such a satisfying cooking session. When she moved a little, crackling sounds came from her body.
After recovering a little, Xue Xi sniffed and looked at the pork elbow in the bowl with a puzzled look: It's not right, it looks soft, glutinous and smooth, and the color is bright red. Is there anything wrong? Why is there no taste at all!
Xue Xi even suspected that there was something wrong with her sense of smell. She unwillingly took out a piece of pork elbow, put it on the chopping board and cut it off with a knife...
