Gu Zheng prepared three dishes and one soup. According to the original plan, there were four dishes and one soup. However, there were not enough ingredients, so he had to give up.
Three dishes and one soup. It was not a problem to eat well, but it was a little difficult to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, the test was only to conquer their taste buds, not to fill their stomachs. Otherwise, they would not be able to eat today.
The sesame oil was taken out, and the salt and soy sauce were put in place.
After walking around the market for so long and appraising thousands of different ingredients, Gu Zheng had a general understanding of the Glutton Immortal's ingredients. First of all, the ingredients had to be pure and natural. Any additives or chemical ingredients would lower the grade of the ingredients, and it would not reach the standard.
With this understanding, Gu Zheng finally got the right choice of salt and soy sauce for once.
The two ingredients were bought from a high-end seasoning store. The salt was imported pure seaweed salt, which was produced in the sea area of Peru. Each grain of salt was refined and processed through 13 procedures. Not only did it taste better, but it also contained many minerals that were beneficial to the human body. The owner of the store knew Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had written a review of a good ingredient for him and helped him to attract business. Therefore, he gave him a very favorable price, 180 yuan for a bag of 100 grams.
The soy sauce was chosen from Fujian Province. Gu Zheng had never used this soy sauce, but his father had. Therefore, he had a certain understanding of this soy sauce.
The raw material of the soy sauce was the best non-genetically modified soybeans. He and his father had been to the place where the soybeans were grown when they were young. It was in the mountains. In order to ensure the purity of the soybeans, no pollution was allowed on the land. The fertilizers were all natural, and the insects were manually removed, even if the yield was reduced.
In addition to the strict requirements of the raw materials, the utensils used to make the soy sauce were also very particular. They were all sauce jars that had been passed down for hundreds of years. The brewing skill was their exclusive inheritance. Not to mention Gu Zheng, even his father did not know about it.
The best raw materials, the best craftsmanship, and the best price. A 125ml bottle of soy sauce cost 200 yuan. Gu Zheng bought two bottles. Together with the sesame oil and salt, it cost him more than 1,000 yuan. The money was enough for them to go to a big restaurant and have a good meal.
After the black chicken soup was stewed for a while, Gu Zheng began to cook.
"Pa!"
The bottle of perfume oil was very ordinary. It opened with a gentle pull. As soon as the bottle was opened, a tempting fragrance rushed out. Gu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and close his eyes unnaturally.
Once the bottle was opened, the fragrance would spread for three hundred miles. The fragrant oil did not spread that far, but the entire house was already filled with this fragrance.
"Gu Zheng, what are you doing? Why does it smell so good?"
"Yeah, is this oil? I've never smelled such a nice fragrance!"
"Gu Zheng, why don't you close the kitchen door? We didn't have lunch because of your feast. Now that we smell this aroma, we're even hungrier!"
The fragrance of the sesame oil attracted Wang Tao and the other two. The three of them stood at the entrance of the kitchen, looking at Gu Zheng with pitiful eyes. Gu Zheng himself was also very surprised by the fragrance of the sesame oil. He knew that this sesame oil was definitely better than the one he squeezed himself, but he didn't expect it to be so fragrant. Even he was shocked.
"Wait outside!"
Gu Zheng went forward and closed the kitchen door. Fortunately, this was not an open kitchen. Otherwise, smelling this fragrance but not being able to eat it would definitely be a torture for Wang Tao and the other two.
The sesame oil was very fragrant. Sure enough, you get what you pay for. The fifty yuan was well spent. Gu Zheng was also glad that he bought all the sesame oil and asked for the address of the person who made it.
When frying with sesame oil, the frying time couldn't be too long, and the wok couldn't be overheated.
Gu Zheng's kitchen utensils were made of the finest alloy purchased from France. They were non-stick and non-smoky. Gu Zheng poured some sesame oil and quickly brushed the black chicken cubes over. When he brushed the oil over the chicken cubes, the rich aroma seeped out through the cracks. Wang Tao and the other two couldn't sit still any longer. They all stood up and paced around outside the kitchen.
"Gu Zheng said that he would make the best food for us. It's true!"
"Don't talk about eating, I've never even smelled this fragrance. Is it because Gu Zheng's cooking skills have improved, or we haven't eaten here for too long?"
"Don't worry about that. It's fine as long as there's good food!"
The three of them kept talking outside and sniffed from time to time. The three of them were looking forward to today's feast even more.
After the chicken was passed through the oil, he began to braise. The chicken was covered with a layer of yellow-brown sesame oil. It was as if it was emitting a golden light and was emitting a tempting fragrance.
Scallion, ginger …
Well, there was none at all. The scallion and ginger in the market were all unqualified. Gu Zheng also didn't have time to go to the pollution-free base to look for these ingredients. He could only abandon them. Fortunately, today's dish didn't have much demand for scallion and ginger. He could use other ingredients to make up for it.
After the chicken was braised to medium well, Gu Zheng opened the lid and poured honey. The sweetness of the honey and the mellow fragrance of the sesame oil instantly merged together and rushed out from the pot into Gu Zheng's nostrils.
The fragrance assailed his nostrils, making Gu Zheng unnaturally sniff his nose. He had never smelled such a fragrance before. Even in his father's dishes, he had never smelled such a comfortable fragrance.
There was sweetness in the fragrance. It was as if he was strolling in a field of flowers, comfortable and elegant.
"It smells so good!"
Outside the kitchen, the three of them were stunned. Gu Zheng had already covered the pot after pouring the honey. However, when he opened the lid just now, the fragrance inevitably escaped.
"I suggest that we go outside and wait. If we wait here, we will be anxious to death!"
Du Yang suddenly said. He couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen and taste the food first. He wanted to know what kind of food could have such a fragrance.
"I agree!" Wang Tao supported at once.
"If we all go out, how will we know when Gu Zheng will be done? How can we eat this delicious feast at the first time?"
Zhao Yongkui said doubtfully. If the three of them went out, they wouldn't be able to smell the fragrance here and wouldn't be anxious. However, at the same time, they wouldn't know the progress of Gu Zheng's cooking. Just by smelling the fragrance, they knew that the food must be delicious. It would be a great pity if they couldn't eat it in time.
"How about we go out separately and wait? When we are done, we will call the people waiting here immediately."
Du Yang said again. The three of them looked at each other and suddenly shook their heads together.
Taking turns to wait was a solution. However, who could guarantee that he wouldn't eat the food first when it was served? When they came in, Gu Zheng had told them that today's dishes focused on the taste. The quantity wasn't too much. It was enough to let everyone eat well. This was also Gu Zheng's precaution in advance.
Knowing that the quantity wasn't much and smelling such a fragrance, they all wanted to eat it first. If anyone stayed behind, the other two wouldn't feel at ease. Therefore, this proposal was rejected again.
Gu Zheng didn't know about the dispute outside. When he was cooking the honey chicken, he began to steam the sorghum rice. The water used to wash and steam the sorghum rice was all ice mineral water from the Alps. In terms of purchasing price, water was more expensive than sorghum rice.
The dishes and rice were all prepared in an orderly manner. The few people outside were still discussing what to do. Smelling the fragrance and looking forward to Gu Zheng's food, they were really happy and painful.
