Which dish was the most famous in Sanshan City, or even the entire Southeastern Province?
Most people would say 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'. This famous dish had a long history and was known for its complicated preparation process and mellow taste.
In the last century, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall had hosted Prince Sihanouk, the President of the United States, the Queen of England, and other heads of state. It was famous both at home and abroad.
The gift that Xia Ruofei thought of was this legendary dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
The authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall required 18 main ingredients and 12 supplementary ingredients.
Chicken, duck, pig bones, hoof tips, hoof tendons, fish belly, shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone, dried scallops, pigeon eggs, flower mushrooms, and other raw materials and auxiliary materials were separately processed by various methods such as frying, stir-frying, boiling, and deep-frying, and then packed in layers into the jar.
Since Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was made by simmering dozens of ingredients in one jar, it had the same meaty taste and maintained its own unique characteristics.
A scholar had a poem: "When the jar opens, the fragrance of meat wafts all around. When Buddha hears it, he abandons Zen and jumps over the wall." In layman's terms, when Buddha smelled the fragrance of this dish, he couldn't help but return to the secular world and jump over the wall to eat it. This was the origin of the name Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
If this was only a famous dish from Sanshan City, Xia Ruofei wouldn't have chosen it as a gift for the opening of Ling Ji Private Kitchen.
Moreover, as a famous chef in Sanshan City, Ling Xiaotian definitely knew how to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Although Xia Ruofei didn't know the details, as a private kitchen that specialized in Sanshan City, it would be unimaginable if Buddha Jumps Over the Wall didn't exist.
However, Xia Ruofei still chose this special gift.
The reason was very simple.
Xia Ruofei had obtained from the "Human" word jade talisman. Apart from the "Dao Sutra", there was a very special piece of information.
It was a cookbook.
The secret recipe of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was placed at the top of the list.
Although Xia Ruofei didn't know how the traditional Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was made, he faintly realized that this recipe wasn't simple.
In reality, how could something that could be sealed within the Human Character Jade Talisman along with the Grand Dao Technique, various miraculous cultivation techniques, and medical scriptures be simple?
Hence, when Xia Ruofei thought of the secret recipe of Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, he didn't hesitate at all and decided to use it as a gift for tonight.
After making his decision, Xia Ruofei turned on his computer and searched for the traditional method of making 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'.
There was a lot of information on the Internet, and the methods were all similar. Xia Ruofei quickly browsed through a few and compared them with the secret recipe in his mind. He immediately discovered that the secret recipe was different.
The secret recipe had a few more herbs than the traditional recipe found online.
According to the description of the secret recipe, these medicinal herbs could remove some of the fishy smell of seafood. At the same time, they could also replenish Qi and nourish the blood, clear the lungs and moisten the intestines, and prevent the deficiency of cold, etc.
The most amazing thing was that although this small change made 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' technically a medicinal cuisine, it wouldn't have the slightest bit of medicinal taste after being cooked. On the contrary, the taste of the main dish would be more distinct.
Of course, other than this change, there were some details such as the processing method of the ingredients, the order in which they were placed, and so on. The secret recipe was slightly different from the traditional method of making 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'.
Xia Ruofei didn't know what kind of changes these slight differences would bring.
He continued to look for a few more pieces of information. In the end, he basically confirmed that the method of adding a few herbs into 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' was created by his secret recipe.
He carefully went through the secret recipe of 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' in his mind again.
This information had already been imprinted in his mind. Hence, Xia Ruofei had already grasped the cooking method of this famous dish in a very short period of time.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei was eager to try it out.
After all, whether a dish was good or not, one would only know after eating it. Even if it was exaggerated and the taste was average, no one would buy it.
Hence, Xia Ruofei wasn't just going to give the recipe to Ling Ji Private Kitchen. He was going to personally cook 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'.
The cooking process of 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' was very complicated. The processing of the ingredients was also quite time-consuming. For example, the preparation of the sea cucumbers would take more than ten hours. The preparation of the dried abalones would take up to two to three days.
Even if all the ingredients were processed in advance, it would still take at least ten hours to simmer them in the end.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Ruofei definitely wouldn't have enough time.
However, he had the Ring-Tu space, so time wasn't a problem at all.
Xia Ruofei tidied up his desk a little. He quickly looked through the documents that Feng Jing's assistant, Liu Qian, had sent over and signed what needed to be signed.
Then, he tidied up the documents, took his handbag, and left the office.
Xia Ruofei went to the office next door first and handed the documents to Liu Qian. Then, he bid farewell to Feng Jing and left the office building.
For Xia Ruofei, the most troublesome thing was the procurement of ingredients.
This was because 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' had high requirements for the quality of the ingredients, and there were many types of ingredients.
Hence, Xia Ruofei thought for a while and decided to go home and get Huzi's mother to bring him to buy ingredients.
Huzi's mother used to live in the fishing village by the sea in Changping County. She was very familiar with the area and had a good understanding of the seafood. With her leading the way, they would definitely be able to buy the ingredients faster.
The facts proved that Xia Ruofei's decision was absolutely correct.
Huzi's mother brought Xia Ruofei around town a few times and bought most of the ingredients.
They were all from the same village, so Huzi's mother was very clear about which family had treasured scallops and which family had high-quality sea cucumbers.
Soon, Xia Ruofei checked the list. He was only missing shark fin, abalone, and pig trotters.
Huzi's mother brought Xia Ruofei to a pork stall and bought two pig trotters. It was already close to noon.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Godmother! I basically have everything I need. This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how much more effort I would have to spend! "
Huzi's mother smiled and asked, "Ruofei, are you preparing the ingredients for 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'?"
As a native of Sanshan, Huzi's mother had already guessed Xia Ruofei's intentions when she saw the ingredients he bought.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Yeah! I'm preparing it for a friend. "
Huzi's mother was somewhat puzzled and said, "It seems that you are still missing abalone and shark fin, right? These are the two most important ingredients for 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'. "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "My friend has already prepared these two ingredients. Godmother, let's go! I'll send you back to the farm first, and then I'll send these things to my friend. "
Huzi's mother said reproachfully, "It's just a few steps away. Why are you sending me back? I'll take the minibus back! You should go and do your business! "
"No, no!" Xia Ruofei said quickly, "How can I let you squeeze in the minibus?"
Huzi's mother smiled and said, "Ruofei, godmother's body is not that delicate! In the past, we would walk directly for such a short distance. Now, our conditions are better, so we can take the bus! Go and do your business! Don't worry about me. I'm very familiar with this place! "
Xia Ruofei could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay! But don't take the bus. I'll call a taxi for you! "
After that, Xia Ruofei ignored Huzi's mother's objection and directly waved his hand to stop a taxi.
Basically, the taxi in the small county didn't have a meter. From the county to Taoyuan Farm, the taxi driver asked for 50 yuan. Xia Ruofei didn't bargain. He directly took out his wallet, took out a 50 yuan bill, and handed it to the driver. He said, "Sir, drive slowly!"
After that, Xia Ruofei opened the door and let Huzi's mother get in.
Huzi's mother originally didn't want to take a taxi, but Xia Ruofei had already paid the money. She could only helplessly shake her head and get in the car.
She muttered while getting in the car, "You child, isn't this a waste of money …"
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved at Huzi's mother. After watching the taxi leave, he also turned and got in his Knight XV off-road vehicle.
Now, he only lacked shark's fin and abalones. Xia Ruofei had the best reticulated abalone in his space.
However, the ingredient needed to make 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' was dried abalone. Because dried abalone was very different from fresh abalone in terms of taste, when Xia Ruofei decided to make 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall' in the office in the morning, he directly used his telepathic thoughts to inform Xia Qing in the space to catch five reticulated abalones in the sea of space.
Although the abalones in the sea of space were still far from one-headed abalone and two-headed abalone, they were more than enough to make 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'.
The process of making dried abalone wasn't complicated. It wasn't difficult for Xia Qing. Even if the dried abalone didn't reach the level of a master abalone maker, it was enough to make 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall'.
Moreover, the reticulated abalone grew in the Ring-Tu space, which was rich in spirit energy. When dried abalone was dried, it was also in an environment rich in spirit energy. This was enough to make up for the unfamiliarity of the production process.
It would take at least ten days to make dried abalone. Therefore, Xia Ruofei informed Xia Qing in the morning to start making the abalone in the space.
After making the dried abalone, he would use the spiritual pond water to make it. The time was just right.
As for the remaining ingredient, shark's fin, Xia Ruofei directly drove to the county town's largest Wal-Mart supermarket and bought the most expensive shark's fin from the brand's counter. With this, all the ingredients were gathered.
Then, Xia Ruofei went to the market and bought small wine jars for 'Buddha Jumps Over The Wall', old Shaoxing wine, and some other seasonings.
Of course, he didn't forget to buy a bag of charcoal and a few charcoal stoves.
Everything was ready, except for the east wind.
Xia Ruofei drove back to the farm.
On the way, he stored all the things into the space. Some of the ingredients needed time to be made, so he used his telepathic thoughts to inform Xia Qing to start making them first.
When he returned to the farm, it was almost lunchtime.
When Huzi's mother saw Xia Ruofei come in empty-handed, she naturally thought that he had sent all the ingredients to his friends. Therefore, she smiled and called out to Xia Ruofei for lunch.
Lin Qiao might have felt that time was tight, so he didn't come back for lunch. Instead, he ate in the company's cafeteria. After that, he didn't rest at noon and went back to the office.
Xia Ruofei quickly ate two bowls of rice and drank a bowl of soup. He pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Godmother, I'm done eating. Please take your time!"
After saying that, Xia Ruofei ran upstairs.
Huzi's mother smiled and said to herself, "This child is always in a hurry. I don't know what he's busy with …"
When Xia Ruofei returned to his room, he locked all the doors and windows. Then, he took out the Spirit Map Scroll and entered the space with a thought.
He still had about five hours. If he stayed in the Archean Realm, he would have about twelve to thirteen days. It was enough for him to prepare all the ingredients and make the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall.
When he arrived in the space, Xia Qing was busy processing the ingredients. When he saw Xia Ruofei, he hurriedly stopped and greeted Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei nodded and asked, "Are the sea cucumbers and other ingredients ready?"
It took about twenty minutes to drive from the county city to the farm. After that, Xia Ruofei had lunch. At least two days had passed in the Archean Realm.
Xia Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Master. The ingredients that needed to be processed have been processed. It's just the abalones that need to be processed."
The abalones needed to be made into dried abalones before being processed. It would take at least ten to twenty days. They were still in the process of drying the abalones!
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "It's fine. There's still time. I'll process the other ingredients first! "
The ingredients that Xia Qing had processed were neatly placed on a long table by the side. In the Ring-Tu space, as long as they didn't touch the ground directly, they wouldn't go bad no matter how long they were placed there. Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't have to worry about keeping them fresh.
He began to process the pigeon eggs, pig trotters, flower mushrooms, and other ingredients.
The pigeon eggs were as thin as paper, so they had to be processed very carefully. However, Xia Ruofei's mental strength was very powerful, so there was no problem with his control.
He steamed the pigeon eggs with the Jinhua ham core, emitting the flavor of the ham. At the same time, he steamed the flavor of the ham into the pigeon eggs.
Following that, he cut the ham into pieces and peeled the pigeon eggs. Then, he fried the pigeon eggs in warm oil and turned them into tiger skin pigeon eggs.
Xia Ruofei was very fast. He had the demeanor of a chef.
He put the processed ingredients aside and began to process the next ingredient.
Chicken, duck, hoof tip, lamb's elbow, pig's stomach, duck gizzard …
There were dozens of ingredients in the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup. Each ingredient had a different processing method, including frying, stir-frying, boiling, and deep-frying. It could be said that just processing the ingredients was a very huge project.
After processing everything, he just had to wait for the abalones.
Xia Ruofei said to Xia Qing, "I'm going out to take a nap. When the dried abalones are ready, you can directly process them. Inform me when you're done!"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing replied respectfully.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei left the space with a thought. After keeping the Spiritual Map Scroll in his palm, Xia Ruofei went to bed and slept for a while.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, Xia Qing reported to Xia Ruofei with his mental strength that the abalones had been processed.
