Chapter 43
"This guest, what would you like to eat?"
Just when Lin Ye looked at the barbecue master not far away in surprise, the barbecue master seemed to notice his gaze and asked in a calm tone.
After hearing this question, Lin Ye reacted and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Give me a portion of the best wine and food you sell."
"Sir, wait a moment." The barbecue master who looked like Wang Gang responded calmly and continued to immerse himself in the barbecue.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the barbecue master came to Lin Ye with a portion of roasted monster meat, a few side dishes and a small jar of wine.
"This is what you want, Master. Please use it slowly."
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Lin Ye immediately started tasting it.
What surprised him was that both the monster meat and the side dishes tasted quite good, more than twice as strong as those he ate yesterday.
Of course, it's just okay, not delicious.
So he just took a few bites and put down his chopsticks. The next second he looked with burning eyes in the direction of the boss.
"Boss, the meat you grilled is indeed good, but the seasoning is a little off. If you can marinate it in advance before grilling, the meat will be more delicate and flavorful."
"As for these side dishes, although they are exquisite, they are all boiled with water. If they are stir-fried in an iron pot, the taste will be even better."
As soon as these words came out, not only the boss who was cooking stopped what he was doing, but even the other customers in the store all looked over, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"This man is crazy, he dares to question Master Zhou's craftsmanship!"
"Yes, Master Zhou's barbecue is famous even within a radius of 100,000 miles, let alone in this Giant Sword City."
"I think he is clearly making trouble. The last person who dared to make trouble here, I remember, was a Nascent Soul monk. In the end, that Nascent Soul monk was thrown directly outside the city by Master Zhou."
"Really or not? That's the Yuanying monk. Is Master Zhou that powerful?"
"Hush, I'll tell you quietly, Master Zhou was very impressive before. It is said that he had achieved the breakthrough of becoming a god a hundred years ago, but later, for some unknown reason, he chose to live in seclusion here and open a restaurant."
"Hiss! Master Zhou is a monk who transforms into gods! No wonder I dare not look at him every time."
"Then this man is miserable."
For a moment, many diners had a look of gloating on their faces.
At this moment, Master Zhou himself took off his apron, and then walked to Lin Ye with a calm expression.
Subconsciously, everyone thought that Master Zhou was going to be angry. However, to their surprise, Master Zhou was not angry. Instead, he looked at Lin Ye with a polite look and said:
"Master, may I ask what pickling is? What about stir-frying in an iron pot?"
“Can marinated meat really be more flavorful and delicate?”
After hearing Master Zhou's series of questions, Lin Ye immediately nodded confidently.
Although he himself had never cooked a few times in his previous life, he never missed a single episode of those food bloggers' videos.
Especially when eating, I like to watch these cooking videos. Over time, I naturally master a lot of cooking skills.
We all know how to fry, braise, stew, stir-fry, stir-fry, thicken, and stir-fry sugar.
"The so-called marinating is to first fluff up the large pieces of animal meat with the back of a knife, wash it, put it on a large plate, and pour wine and soy sauce. By the way, you probably don't have soy sauce and use animal oil instead, chicken essence, chicken essence, etc. If not, then use dried shrimps powder or shiitake mushroom powder instead. It would be better if you have sea sausage powder.
Then add onion, ginger and garlic juice, marinate the meat for a few hours to absorb the flavor, and finally brush it with a layer of honey while roasting, and sprinkle with spices while roasting. "
As Lin Ye talked, Master Zhou's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"I see, I understand. No wonder every barbecue, no matter how good it is, still lacks some flavor inside."
After saying this, Master Zhou turned around and got busy.
After he finished marinating a piece of animal meat, he returned to Lin Ye again.
"I dare to ask this young master, how to operate the stir-frying in the iron pot you just mentioned?"
Hearing Master Zhou's question, Lin Ye replied without thinking: "This is even simpler. Use a thin iron sheet to make an iron pot, heat it up, then add hot oil to the pot, and put the ingredients directly into the pot. Stir fry, adding spices halfway through.”
“Only in this way can the aroma inside the ingredients be stimulated to the greatest extent.”
After saying that, he was worried that Master Zhou would not understand, so he took out a piece of fine iron from the storage bag on the spot, melted the fine iron with his own real fire, and made an iron pot in front of everyone present.
After making the iron pot, he still felt that it was a little bit less interesting, so he casually took out the lowest level Spirit Gathering Formation Disk and a Fire Spirit Formation Disk.
After connecting the two, the spiritual energy generated by the Spirit Gathering Array was input into the Fire Spirit Array to create a restless flame.
With a few simple operations, the first spiritual energy stove in the world of immortality was born.
This hand alone made Master Zhou's eyes go straight.
With the stove and pot in hand, Lin Ye immediately taught Master Zhou a good lesson and used the limited materials in the kitchen to make a tough dish - stir-fried unknown beast eggs with unknown fruits and vegetables.
When this extremely poor-looking dish was brought to Master Zhou, there were bursts of sighs from the surrounding area.
"It smells so good!"
"Yes, the aroma of this dish is so strong."
"It turns out that not only can animal eggs be boiled, but you can also do so! Today is really an eye-opener."
"I didn't expect this young man to have such amazing cooking skills."
...
Lin Ye himself felt a little embarrassed after hearing the compliments from everyone present.
He knew very well that it was not because of his great cooking skills, but because people in this world ate so badly that they put all their efforts into cultivating immortals.
At the same time, Master Zhou on the side also picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dish that Lin Ye had fried on the plate, which was tentatively called scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
His expression changed as soon as he took the chopsticks down.
"This...this fried food actually tastes so good!"
"My hundreds of years have been wasted."
After sighing with emotion, he looked at Lin Ye seriously.
"Master, thank you for your advice. I think I know how to improve my dishes and create more delicious dishes."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ye shook his head.
"No, no, no, where is this? Cooking is just the basics."
"By the way, Master Zhou, I see that you are extremely dedicated to cooking. I wonder if you would like to become a food blogger who spreads food culture to monks across Tianyuan Continent."
"Food blogger?" Master Zhou obviously didn't understand the meaning of this word.
"The so-called food bloggers record the process of cooking their own dishes through videos. This not only allows more people to taste the food, but also allows more people to master how to make the food."
After listening to Lin Ye's explanation, Master Zhou nodded without even thinking.
"I am willing! Please give me some advice!"
"Well, I will teach you how to become a qualified food blogger now."
After that, Lin Ye began to teach Master Zhou some cooking skills from his previous life and what he needed to do to become a food blogger.
Including how to choose ingredients, how to use seasonings, how to make various cooking tools, etc.
During this process, Master Zhou also showed his extraordinary talent in cooking. He can understand almost anything and draw inferences most of the time.
In less than a day, Master Zhou's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the level of the chef in his previous life.
"By the way, may I ask what Master Zhou's full name is?"
"My surname is Zhou, and my single name is Gang. From now on, young master, you can just call me Zhou Gang." Master Zhou replied sincerely.
