Doomsday Pavilion

Wang Youcai went back to the back kitchen of Bafang Building with his head down. He really didn't have the courage to tell Xue Mingfang the fact that he only brought back a few sardines.

"Lao Wang, what did you bring back?"

When he heard this voice, Wang Youcai trembled.

The master of the voice is not Young Master Xue, but Xue Zhen.

"Old... boss, why are you here... I... I..."

Xue Zhen wore a white silk robe, which was similar to practice clothes, loose and comfortable.

What was whiter than silk was Xue Zhen's face, and the paleness was full of aging gray.

In just over half a month, the wrinkles at the corners of Xue Zhen's eyes almost doubled, and the eye sockets were sunken and bloodshot.

The light in those eyes was dry and rough, with a grasping look.

"When I went out, I forgot to say anything?"

Xue Zhen turned his back on his back, his skinny arms were rougher than Old Teng.

Wang Youcai nodded and smiled.

"Boss, the sea is closed today. That damn penguin has attracted humpback whales. The big ship on the sea can't get through. What you want... is gone."

Xue Zhen nodded and looked at him, "So, you are back?"

"...Yes, yes." Wang Youcai swallowed.

Xue Zhen squeezed a cold smile on his face and pointed to the box of sardines with a pungent smell of sea.

"Then what is this?"

"sardine."

"how did it get here?"

"There was a small fishing boat coming back, and the only seafood was some sardines, conch and oysters. I brought them all."

"If the boat can come back, can you go out?"

Wang Youcai said quietly,

"Can be... can."

"Then what do you mean by bringing back a box of rubbish? My Bafanglou, can I only give customers this kind of rubbish?"

"no no..."

Xue Zhen snorted coldly,

"Rent 20 speedboats at a high price to get the goods on the big ship. The money is not important. It is not important to go out to the point where the owner can desperately bring back the goods I want.

"Yes..."

Wang Youcai turned around and ran away. Before leaving the house, he heard Xue Zhen solemnly say, "Take your box of rubbish away together!"

"Yes Yes..."

A waiter hurriedly walked into the back kitchen,

"Boss, the guests of Yinfeng Pavilion are urging food, what should I do?"

"Understood, you go out first, take out the Pu'er tea bricks from my study, and make a pot for the guests."

"Yes."

The guests at that table ordered a rare second-order marine fish. One fish and two were eaten. They were made into fish slides and fish fillets. The food was fresh and refreshing.

but......

Xue Zhen scanned the ingredients in the kitchen, frowning higher and higher.

Bafanglou’s rule is that the ingredients never stay overnight, and they are cooked to ensure perfect freshness.

But even Xue Zhen himself did not expect that the scale of this penguin migration was so huge that even the base city would be affected.

Xue Zhen is an old chef after all, and the Bafang Building is operating on such a huge scale, and the means are necessary.

Besides, the time has already been missed. Now it is not important that the fish is served. What is important is that there must be enough food to suppress the mouth of the residents.

Xue Zhen took a yellow-green pomelo from the countertop, which was a sweet Shatian pomelo.

The perfect pear shape with yellow bottom and green top. There is a radiating texture inside a copper coin-sized ring at the bottom, which is called the bottom of money, which also means the best quality.

Xue Zhen used a few strokes on the surface of the pomelo peel, and with a little effort, the two round pomelo peels were taken off.

The pomelo peel is two fingers wide, white and flawless, soft and dense, and the fibers inside are long and knotted.

Bring up a charcoal stove and roast the yellow-green pomelo peel with a bright red charcoal fire, and wait until the surface is black and misty and the moisture is volatile.

Scrape off the hard skin on the surface of the pomelo peel, thin the inside, leaving only half the thickness.

Then cut into two-centimeter-thick slices, then put them in the stock of ham, scallops, and old hens that are stocked in the kitchen and boil them.

After the pomelo peel is hot, the color is soaked and dyed, and the whole shows a soft green that is almost imperceptible.

The first blanched pomelo peel is still slightly bitter. You need to squeeze out the soup with your hands, wrap it in a waterproof cloth and place it in ice cubes.

Shatian pomelo is not common in Mingguang, but it is not rare, and its value is not high.

At this time, Xue Zhen needed to ask for the secret treasure he got from others, a bowl of very bright red "pigment", which was even more attractive than the colorful clouds on the horizon in ancient times.

This is the egg of a small freshwater crab. The scientific name is Wedelia xiangshou crab. Of course, people prefer to call it Liyunzi.

Wedelia are very courageous and like to hold two thick fronts chelated to threaten the enemy and protect themselves.

This form is just like the etiquette of the ancients when they met with fists. Therefore, an anonymous celebrity gave the name of "liyun" to the Wedelia, and applied it to "liyun liyun, jade silk cloud". Huzai? Leyun Leyun, bell and drum cloud Huzai?"

Only the abnormal climate after the catastrophe can make these precious little things that only appear for three days in spring interact with pomelo peel in autumn.

In ancient times, twenty days before the Qingming Festival, the eggs of the Wedelia hung under the abdomen began to mature, originally dark brown.

Because it is exposed under the abdomen of the Wedelia, it carries a lot of sediment and impurities, so it needs to be repeatedly filtered and cleaned with cotton bags.

Only after it is cooked can it change into such a magnificent appearance. People call it Liyunzi, or Wedelia Spring.

It combines the salty, savory, sweet, and tangy flavors of aquatic products. It has a chewy feel of very fine particles, but is not rough and difficult to swallow. This is the gift of Yunzi, which is regarded as the ultimate ingredient.

Liyunzi is used as an auxiliary material in the preparation of dishes, and only a little bit can be added to the magical effect, which greatly enhances the original taste of other ingredients.

There is also a common name for Liyunzi fried with pomelo peel, which is called Autumn Laichun, also known as Lao Lai Qiao.

Boil half a teaspoon of stock, add iced pomelo peel and cook, add a little salt and a spoonful of Liyunzi to the pot, and the unique aroma will immediately burst out between the pot and spoon.

When the pomelo peel is full of the milky broth for the second time, Li Yunzi will also hang on the pomelo peel, a little bit of clear gorgon, and sprinkle with finely chopped green onions.

Xue Zhen blanched a few slices of bitter gourd, which became more emerald green, and cut them into strips. After they were iced, they were laid out one by one on the edge of the white porcelain plate of Liyunzi fried pomelo peel. They were white and bright red and green.

"Not bad."

Xue Zhen nodded to the plate, his tight face finally relaxed.

The guests at that table are related to Xue Mingyang's destiny, and he has to be serious.

Xue Zhen, who can easily stay in the kitchen, is not unfamiliar with his craftsmanship. The movement is orderly, and the fragrance overflows after the dishes are finished, which makes him very satisfied.

Thinking of something, Xue Zhen sighed unconsciously.

Wiping his hands, he personally took this plate of fried pomelo peels and left the kitchen, and walked to Yinfeng Pavilion.
