Chapter 186 The Food Tasting Conference Officially Ends
The food tasting group was originally waiting for the food or calling for someone to serve it, but Sister You ate everything in the kitchen and burped. She turned around and saw other people outside the door, wondering:
"What are you looking at me doing?"
"You've eaten so much, but you're still not full. There's another dish of kelp later." After she was full, she seemed particularly easy to talk to, and her tone was gentle.
There is still an hour until the fawn wakes up.
"You all go out, I'm going to cook." Chef You burped and closed the kitchen door.
Upstairs, the long-awaited peaceful sleep brought sweet dreams.
The person I have been thinking about day and night appears in my dream.
Yes, in the dream, Lu Cub saw A Ling. The joy of reunion made her ignore the awkwardness in the dream, and she looked at Xi Ling with joy.
When old friends meet again, they can't help but shed tears.
The Xi Ling she imagined appeared in her dream. Lin Shilu thought this was a reunion that would never separate, but the reality was that they were still separated.
"Let's make the last dish together!" Assistant Aya felt his soul being pulled, his mind wavered for a moment, and the rippling lake of his heart finally returned to calm.
“First make the hot and sour kelp to get a feel for it, and then make an improved version of the heavy-flavored kelp.”
Chef You questioned: "Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"
Assistant Ling didn't answer, and tried to change the subject with the steps: "One plate of kelp is enough, two to three red peppers, half a bowl of white vinegar, and a spoonful of soy sauce. There is no need for too complicated steps, it's very simple!"
“It’s a great cold dish for beginners.”
Chef You prepared the necessary ingredients according to what Assistant Ling said.
Let’s start the production phase!
Assistant Ling was ready to take action and began to give orders:
The kelp shreds have been processed, so cut the chili peppers into oblique strips and put them in a small dish for later use. Choose chili peppers, which taste spicier, so two or three will be enough.
Sister You is an excellent cook. She can remove the stems of two or three chili peppers and cut them into small pieces diagonally, which takes less than a minute.
Then comes the normal cooking steps:
Heat some oil on high heat and add a little salt.
Assistant Ling said, "Stir-fry the chopped chili peppers for 30 seconds."
After the oil was heated, Chef You asked as he lowered the heat, "Are you sure?"
The two people have different habits.
Qingyou likes to put the chili peppers at the end, while Xiling likes to stir-fry the chili peppers. Sometimes she will add some onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers in advance and stir-fry them together. She will then take them out after they are fragrant. This way, the flavor of the ingredients is retained while leaving no residue.
It is very friendly to those friends who don’t like eating onions, ginger and garlic. It has the original taste but you don’t have to eat the body. It is simply amazing!
Lin Shilu wanted to eat Xi Ling's dish. Chef You saw this clearly and calculated the time in her mind, then she put the kelp shreds in and fried them.
Xi Ling observed the situation in the pot and said, "Add the white vinegar later. You can stop when I say stop."
Zhu Qingyou obeyed the instructions.
"You got the wrong one. This is rice vinegar. The taste of rice vinegar is different from that of white vinegar. The taste is very different."
"I just picked it up casually. I didn't look at it." She explained, and changed to white vinegar. Xi Ling controlled the dosage and reminded when it was almost done: "That's enough, stop!"
"One spoonful of soy sauce, which is about the amount of a bottle cap, add the seasoning and continue to stir-fry."
"Okay, I've got that." Chef You replied, holding the spatula in his right hand and the pot in his left hand, flipping and stir-frying.
What an amazing arm strength!
If it was the pot next to it, I wouldn’t be so surprised, but this pot is made of a special iron material. It has the advantages of a non-stick pan, but the disadvantage is that it is extremely heavy!
Ordinary people would fall if they were not careful while lifting this pot, but Chef You seemed to be doing it with ease, as in fact every muscle in his arms was perfectly mobilized.
Completely refreshed my horizon...
Assistant Ling's focus was not on the pot, but on the technique. She said with emotion: "You can flip the pot."
Sister You put the pot back on the stove, adjusted the heat, and replied: "Practice it slowly, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a little envious." Assistant Ling's tone was full of longing, "I didn't know how to flip the wok before I left, and I still can't do it now. By the way, turn off the heat and serve in a while."
"Then you can practice slowly, and you will be able to do it sooner or later." Chef You turned off the fire and poured the vegetables in the pot into the plate.
Assistant Ling said grimly: "Have you forgotten that I have nothing over there?"
Sister You didn't feel guilty at all. She handed over the control of her body to Xi Ling and said, "I heard that when a cultivator's strength reaches a certain level, he can use his spiritual energy to transform or create things. Although it looks good but is useless, it's better than nothing."
Assistant Ling complained while eating, "It tastes good. It's made of spiritual energy, and I don't major in related techniques. It's basically no different from a toy."
"We have the volume and weight, what else do you want? There is no grass growing over there, it's a wasteland. There's only a bed made of dirt, without even a sheet."
When buying groceries, the two of them shared the same vision in the early stage and could see each other's environment. Qingyou also saw the room Xiling was in through her vision, but she didn't know where it was.
Sister You had a clear goal. "It's enough if you can use your spiritual energy to create a pot. It's good enough to have a pot in your environment. As for the ingredients, you don't eat, so why do you need a bicycle?"
Xi Ling smelled the fragrance of kelp shreds and took a steamed bun to eat. She had been forced to fast for a long time, and now there was delicious food in front of her, so she would be wasting her time.
Although I wasn’t very hungry after having a meal before, I was still greedy.
"You seem to be right."
After taking a few bites, she swallowed the food, suppressed the temptation of delicious food with reason, and said, "Let's make a heavy version of kelp."
There were a few soft noises behind them. Zhe Er and the others were knocking on the door, and then they opened it impatiently. They didn't dare to step into the kitchen. All the members of the food tasting team stood outside the door, half of their bodies leaning against the door frame. Si Yuan asked, "Is the food ready?"
"Ok!"
Assistant Ling brought the plate of kelp over, and when they took it, she immediately closed the door and activated the soundproofing barrier in the kitchen.
"Why didn't you cook seafood back then?" Sister You's consciousness was in her body. She looked at Xi Ling controlling her body to return to the stove and asked.
"I didn't even know how to stir-fry meat, let alone judge how well it was cooked. Do you think I'm crazy if I try to make seafood, such as fried shrimp, stewed fish, steamed crabs, and boiled mussels?"
"..."
Qingyou was silent for a while, it would be better not to ask this question. Suddenly, she was ejected, and Xiling returned to where Sister You was just now.
"The basic ingredients are the same as last time, but this time there's something else. Take out another small dish to put the seasoning in."
Chef You cut the peppers according to the last steps, took out a blank small plate, and waited for instructions.
"Powder seasoning: Mix chicken powder, MSG, salt, pork ribs powder, pepper and chili powder. One spoonful of chili powder, and one-third and a half spoonfuls of the others."
The speed of speaking was too fast, and Chef You had finished speaking before he could react. She said, "Say it again, and slow down."
Assistant Ling had to slow down and wait for Qingyou to pour all the necessary seasonings into a small dish for later use. She continued, "One spoon each of chili oil and sesame oil, with vegetable oil as the main ingredient."
"?" Chef You was puzzled. "Explain it clearly and say something that people can understand, okay?"
"This is what I wrote in my notes." Assistant Aya was also very upset. It had been a long time since then and she couldn't remember clearly. She was lucky to be able to remember so much.
"I remember it was a plate of kelp, three red peppers, half a bowl of white vinegar, a tablespoon of soy sauce, a tablespoon of chili oil and sesame oil, and mainly vegetable oil. It was also a mixture of chicken powder, MSG, salt, nine-flavor pork ribs powder, pepper, and chili powder."
"..." Chef You was silent and desperate, "Or you should think about it carefully, and I will do it when you think of it."
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do.
"Practitioners usually have very good memories, so why can't you remember?" Sister You moved a small stool and sat down. It would be too boring to keep waiting, so she took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"My memory is incomplete now. I have only recovered two memory fragments, including yours. As long as I leave your body, I will not remember them. After all, the main part of the fragment is still in you. The other memory fragments are still flying..."
Xi Ling's tone was melancholy, and Sister You also regretted bringing up the topic. She had repeated the same mistakes again and again, and it was worse than not saying anything. She was really fed up!
"Don't worry, you seem to be an exception. When I gather all the memory fragments, only yours will be missing. They will automatically return to their original place, and you don't have to worry about your own memory being affected. By then, it may leave your body, or copy a copy of your memory for me."
"These memories are mine. They won't be affected even if they are split or merged. The memory fragments themselves are filled with some of my own emotions. Once they are pulled, the memory fragments will be revived. Because of my emotions, the other fragments around you will do things that they would not normally do."
She could no longer hear what happened afterwards. From Xi Ling's words, "The memory fragments themselves are mine," Sister You's thoughts gradually drifted away.
That’s not right. It should be related to the fawn.
I wonder when the other person will wake up and what he or she dreamed about.
There are still 40 minutes until the fawn wakes up.
As time passed, the sunlight shifted and fell on her hands. She gathered all her scattered thoughts. The sky outside was gradually approaching dusk, with the sunset glowing and the evening sun complementing each other. The sky seemed like a scene from a fairy tale.
Sister You asked: "Have you thought of it? Have you thought of the steps?"
While she was in a daze, Xi Ling was not idle either. She was recalling the recipes of that year and the process of making the heavy-tasting kelp.
"I figured it out." Xi Ling sighed, "It wasn't easy. After searching all my memories, I finally remembered it."
"Wash the kelp and cut it into short strips. Cut three red peppers diagonally and set aside. You can add a little coriander for garnish."
Sister You stood up and prepared to cook, "Deer cubs don't eat coriander."
"You can add it or not, depending on your mood when arranging the dish."
Qingyou: "Do you want to wash the pot?"
Xi Ling: "Forget it, it's too late."
In the end I still brushed it because the food was not served cleanly and there were still some kelp shreds stuck on it. More importantly, it affected the taste.
Clean the pot and turn on the fire.
There are still some water droplets in the pot at this time, which need to be boiled dry without leaving any trace. The spatula must also be clean without leaving any water. Otherwise, when you add oil later, the hot oil and the water on the spatula will collide with each other and splash out.
Don’t use high heat when cooking. Don’t use high heat.
Not a professional chef, especially not a novice.
Don't use high heat when cooking, absolutely don't use high heat, otherwise it will be a tragedy and burning through the bottom of the pot is not a dream.
Chef You wiped the water drops on the spatula and waited for the pot to dry. Assistant Ling saw that the time was right and said, "Add one spoonful of vegetable oil."
Add vegetable oil.
"Then add sesame oil and red oil in turn to enhance the flavor."
Chef You prepared two kinds of red oil, "Is it the meat red oil or the red oil for frying chili peppers?" The meat one is fried with meat oil and chili peppers, and the latter is fried with vegetable oil.
Some dishes particularly require red oil, and the preparation is quite sufficient.
At this time, the oil in the pot is gradually smoking, which means that the oil is good. It is also the most dangerous time. The temperature is gradually rising. It is best not to add water at this time.
If it is some stew, you can add water when the oil is not smoking. Anyway, you still need to cook it later, so it doesn’t matter whether it is good at the beginning.
The lessons learned through blood and tears tell us that you must not add water when the oil is smoking. You must lower the heat, or simply turn off the heat to let the oil cool. Otherwise, it will not just be a "sizzling" sound, but a car rollover scene.
The fire was on high, the oil was smoking, and all the buffs were stacked up. But at this time, he insisted on adding water. It was unjust if he didn't overturn the car!
"Add the chili and stir-fry for half a minute." Assistant Ling reminded. Chef You moved quickly, mixing the three kinds of oil and making a spicy aroma. He added the red chili and stir-fried it, turning down the heat so that the chili didn't burn in the pan, but just kept it slightly crispy.
"Put in the kelp shreds and the seasonings, and stir-fry evenly."
Under the command, Chef You handled each step in an orderly manner.
"Add half a spoonful of white vinegar and a large spoonful of soy sauce, stir and continue to fry until fully cooked. If the pan is dry during this period, you can add a little water and finally serve!"
Half a minute later, the kelp shreds are out of the pot.
There are still 30 minutes until the fawn wakes up.
“It tastes good and is very authentic.”
Assistant Ling took a bite and gave her evaluation. When she was about to ask the food tasting team to take it out, Xi Ling covered her chest. Her intuition kicked in at this moment: "I don't know why, but I feel a little panicked."
After hearing Xi Ling say this, Zhu Qingyou also had a similar feeling.
When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, intuition will provide guidance at critical moments. Although the two's cultivation is not that high, they have a solid foundation of basic knowledge and will not ignore the hints brought by this intuition.
"Is the fawn going to wake up?"
"Do it quickly, I'll return my body to you." Xi Ling immediately gave up control of her body.
Today, the dish has been restored, but it has been eaten up completely, leaving only the last plate of shredded kelp.
Xi Ling directed from a distance: "Just cover the kelp shreds with a simple heat preservation device. If time is insufficient, it can still maintain the temperature when it is just out of the pot."
You can also put it in the refrigerator, but that will keep it at room temperature.
Xuanmeng Realm has a particularly convenient heat preservation device, which can also be called a quick lunch box. It is very cheap and looks like a translucent bowl, not made of glass. Put it upside down to cover the food, and it can be preserved at the moment it is covered.
The advantage is that it preserves the best taste of food when it is just out of the pot, and is often used in food delivery. However, the disadvantage is that it cannot be bumpy and there cannot be any gaps. If you want to preserve it, you must tie a rope on the protective cover to secure it.
Without Xi Ling saying anything, Chef You immediately began to prepare the ingredients needed for dinner, and he turned on several fires and set up several pots at the same time.
"There's no other way. We have to do them at the same time." Sister You continued to prepare the ingredients.
Some ingredients have been prepared long ago, such as tomato and Chinese toon noodles. Take out the tomatoes, cover them with a thermal insulation cover, immediately add water to the pot, turn down the heat and cook slowly. It is best to add the noodles as late as possible.
At the same time, take advantage of the free time to thaw the tofu slices.
There are still 20 minutes until the fawn wakes up.
After eating the kelp shreds, the food tasting group smelled the fragrance and wanted to go into the kitchen to get more, but the kitchen door was locked and they couldn't get in.
Huahua saw it very clearly. He said, "It seems that there is no share for us."
The others tried their best but failed to open the locked kitchen door, so they had to give up.
They took another digestion pill on the way.
I am so hungry and restless now!
And all the food is in the kitchen.
There are still ten minutes until the fawn wakes up.
Upstairs, in a dream.
Lin Shilu fell asleep, but her body was still functioning, just with the lowest consumption. She was dreaming, but because she felt very hungry, she woke up early!
The moment you wake up, the dream disappears.
Her heartbeat was still as excited as in her dream and had not yet stabilized. Her heart was filled with residual joy, followed by the melancholy of not being able to remember the content of the shattered dream and the increasingly obvious hunger in her stomach.
When she first woke up, an inexplicable emotion burst out in her heart, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she was unaware of it.
Lin Shilu woke up from his dream, yawned and walked downstairs, and saw that his friends seemed to have green eyes, "What are you doing?"
There was a hint of tears in every pair of eyes.
The barrier of the kitchen was half open, but the outside world could not hear the noise coming from the kitchen, but the people outside the kitchen could not hear the outside world.
The premonition came true and Zhu Qingyou became extremely nervous. She was so flustered that she almost put the wrong ingredients in several pots.
Xi Ling was also nervous. After seeing the pot boil, Zhu Qingyou accidentally put several more handfuls of noodles in the pot. She immediately became a screaming chicken: "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
“You put too much noodles.”
"It's not a big problem, let's just leave it this way for now." Zhu Qingyou wished she was an octopus so that she would have many claws to deal with the situation.
Outside.
Facing the expectant gazes of his friends, Lin Shilu couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Within 20 minutes, the digestive pill took effect. The food in the stomach was quickly broken down into spiritual energy and impurities. The impurities were discharged from the body through the operation of the magic, and the spiritual energy remained in the meridians.
I’m very happy that my spiritual energy has increased, but the problem is that I’m really hungry!
I was so hungry that my eyes were shining, so hungry that my eyes turned green, and tears welled up in my eyes.
The question is, I regret it. I really regret that I shouldn't take digestive pills anymore. Although they taste really good, within 20 minutes I will go from full to hungry, and then to starving.
If he didn't have strong self-control and there were other people who were as hungry as he was and could stop each other from behaving out of line, if he was alone, he would probably have gnawed on the dining table and chair.
Lin Shilu wanted to run away when she saw this scene, but she looked around and found that there was one person missing. She asked, "Where's Youzi?"
Folding his ears wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Do you smell the fragrance in the kitchen?"
Qi Ye swallowed, "That is a fatal temptation."
Someone's stomach started growling, and a symphony of hunger began to play on the scene.
Siyuan expressed the thoughts of everyone in the food tasting group, "We are so hungry! We are really hungry!"
Shao Shao resisted the urge to knock on the door again, his hands clenched under the table, he said: "Sister You is poisoning the kitchen, ah bah, cooking, we tried everything but couldn't get in."
Lin Shilu looked at the pile of dishes on the dining table. She was surprised: "You ate so much, and you are still hungry?"
Within those 20 minutes, hunger swept through everyone. There was still some food on the dishes, but it was quickly divided up by them. Now there were empty plates, each one looking cleaner than the other, as if they had just been washed.
Qingxuan picked up the plate next to him and showed it, "Look at this plate. It's so round, so shiny, and so clean!"
"Yes!" Hua Hua said sadly, "It's not enough at all. Can we have another meal with you later?"
The deer cub agreed, "Okay."
The dinner that Sister You was looking forward to was not served!
As the footsteps got closer, Zhu Qingyou finally finished preparing all the dishes, but the portions were a little too much.
She was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
Lin Shilu was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but the next second the door was opened by Zhu Qingyou from the inside.
"It's just right. Everyone is hungry. Let's eat together." Lin Shilu pointed at the plates on the table. "I think they are so hungry that they are going to eat the plates."
Zhe Er seized the opportunity, rushed into the kitchen at a very fast speed, rushed out with food, and put it on the dining table: "Don't worry, leave it to us!"
The other five took advantage of the opportunity and rushed into the kitchen with the empty plates on the table. They put the plates in the dishwasher and rushed out with other dishes.
There were still noodles cooking in the pot and they hadn't been served yet, so Siyuan and Shaoshao worked together to carry the pot towards the dining table.
No matter how hungry I was, I never let my saliva drip into the plate, and I never stole food.
If Sister You gets angry, the consequences will be terrible.
People who eat have no right to complain that the food is bad.
Similarly, if they have already eaten a meal and want to eat again, they must be attentive and work hard to get a free meal.
Zhe Er worked extra hard, pulled out the table and chairs, and invited them to sit down: "Come on, both of you, please sit down!"
All other tasks were shared, such as going to the kitchen to get new dishes and chopsticks. Huahua couldn't just sit there with nothing to do, he had to perform, so he took out two candles from the terminal and placed them on the table.
"To create a sense of atmosphere, just pretend we don't exist."
Once this was said, others echoed it.
Those who want to turn off the lights should turn off the lights, and those who want to light candles should light candles.
After everyone was seated, the others' eyes lit up when they looked at the food in front of them.
The pairs of eyes seemed brighter than candles in the dark, and their movements were more active than each other.
"How can I trouble you two with such a small matter? I'll do it!" Zhe Er picked up the bowl and chopsticks to scoop up the noodles, and gave the others a look, whispering, "I'll serve the noodles, you pass the bowls."
The gurgling sounds continued in the darkness.
Qingyou didn't know what to say. Look at how hungry he was. Her dream was completely shattered.
Xi Ling was still in the body and had not returned, and she did not remind him deliberately. During this period, she would let Xi Ling come out to control her body, enjoy delicious food, and see the people she wanted to see.
There is no need to deliberately reveal who you are. If you are too obvious you will be discovered and then you won't be able to reunite.
Under the dim light, the six members of the food tasting group ate their meals happily.
He said nothing, for he was only concerned with eating.
When you are hungry, delicious food fills your hungry stomach, which is an indescribable happiness.
Zhu Qingyou, Lin Shilu, and Xi Ling who showed up from time to time were all feeling a little better and were in a mood to pick up food for each other.
Qingyou's original dream was completely shattered, but her and Xiling's wishes were realized in an alternative way.
There were light bulbs around, but no one was talking except them. They were just focusing on eating.
The six people were concentrating on eating and oblivious to what was happening outside.
The food tasting session is officially over!
Regarding the weight of the pot, it is purely fictitious, please don't worry about it.
But to be honest, the pots at Luzai's house come in different weights. The one for frying kelp shreds is relatively light compared to the other types. Sister You uses a different pot to fry kelp shreds and to make tomato noodles.
The more I write, the hungrier I get. I can't hold on any longer. I'll catch bugs tomorrow.
I got two golds in ten consecutive games today. I'm so lucky. It's hard not to update, so I updated it. More than 6,000, two in one.
The more I write, the hungrier I get, so I'm going to eat.
The food tasting group was originally waiting for the food or calling for someone to serve it, but Sister You ate everything in the kitchen and burped. She turned around and saw other people outside the door, wondering:
"What are you looking at me doing?"
"You've eaten so much, but you're still not full. There's another dish of kelp later." After she was full, she seemed particularly easy to talk to, and her tone was gentle.
There is still an hour until the fawn wakes up.
"You all go out, I'm going to cook." Chef You burped and closed the kitchen door.
Upstairs, the long-awaited peaceful sleep brought sweet dreams.
The person I have been thinking about day and night appears in my dream.
Yes, in the dream, Lu Cub saw A Ling. The joy of reunion made her ignore the awkwardness in the dream, and she looked at Xi Ling with joy.
When old friends meet again, they can't help but shed tears.
The Xi Ling she imagined appeared in her dream. Lin Shilu thought this was a reunion that would never separate, but the reality was that they were still separated.
"Let's make the last dish together!" Assistant Aya felt his soul being pulled, his mind wavered for a moment, and the rippling lake of his heart finally returned to calm.
“First make the hot and sour kelp to get a feel for it, and then make an improved version of the heavy-flavored kelp.”
Chef You questioned: "Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"
Assistant Ling didn't answer, and tried to change the subject with the steps: "One plate of kelp is enough, two to three red peppers, half a bowl of white vinegar, and a spoonful of soy sauce. There is no need for too complicated steps, it's very simple!"
“It’s a great cold dish for beginners.”
Chef You prepared the necessary ingredients according to what Assistant Ling said.

"One spoonful of soy sauce, which is about the amount of a bottle cap, add the seasoning and continue to stir-fry."
"Okay, I've got that." Chef You replied, holding the spatula in his right hand and the pot in his left hand, flipping and stir-frying.
What an amazing arm strength!
If it was the pot next to it, I wouldn’t be so surprised, but this pot is made of a special iron material. It has the advantages of a non-stick pan, but the disadvantage is that it is extremely heavy!

Sister You had a clear goal. "It's enough if you can use your spiritual energy to create a pot. It's good enough to have a pot in your environment. As for the ingredients, you don't eat, so why do you need a bicycle?"
Xi Ling smelled the fragrance of kelp shreds and took a steamed bun to eat. She had been forced to fast for a long time, and now there was delicious food in front of her, so she would be wasting her time.

Assistant Ling had to slow down and wait for Qingyou to pour all the necessary seasonings into a small dish for later use. She continued, "One spoon each of chili oil and sesame oil, with vegetable oil as the main ingredient."
"?" Chef You was puzzled. "Explain it clearly and say something that people can understand, okay?"
"This is what I wrote in my notes." Assistant Aya was also very upset. It had been a long time since then and she couldn't remember clearly. She was lucky to be able to remember so much.
"I remember it was a plate of kelp, three red peppers, half a bowl of white vinegar, a tablespoon of soy sauce, a tablespoon of chili oil and sesame oil, and mainly vegetable oil. It was also a mixture of chicken powder, MSG, salt, nine-flavor pork ribs powder, pepper, and chili powder."
"..." Chef You was silent and desperate, "Or you should think about it carefully, and I will do it when you think of it."
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do.
"Practitioners usually have very good memories, so why can't you remember?" Sister You moved a small stool and sat down. It would be too boring to keep waiting, so she took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"My memory is incomplete now. I have only recovered two memory fragments, including yours. As long as I leave your body, I will not remember them. After all, the main part of the fragment is still in you. The other memory fragments are still flying..."
Xi Ling's tone was melancholy, and Sister You also regretted bringing up the topic. She had repeated the same mistakes again and again, and it was worse than not saying anything. She was really fed up!
"Don't worry, you seem to be an exception. When I gather all the memory fragments, only yours will be missing. They will automatically return to their original place, and you don't have to worry about your own memory being affected. By then, it may leave your body, or copy a copy of your memory for me."
"These memories are mine. They won't be affected even if they are split or merged. The memory fragments themselves are filled with some of my own emotions. Once they are pulled, the memory fragments will be revived. Because of my emotions, the other fragments around you will do things that they would not normally do."
She could no longer hear what happened afterwards. From Xi Ling's words, "The memory fragments themselves are mine," Sister You's thoughts gradually drifted away.
That’s not right. It should be related to the fawn.
I wonder when the other person will wake up and what he or she dreamed about.
There are still 40 minutes until the fawn wakes up.
As time passed, the sunlight shifted and fell on her hands. She gathered all her scattered thoughts. The sky outside was gradually approaching dusk, with the sunset glowing and the evening sun complementing each other. The sky seemed like a scene from a fairy tale.
Sister You asked: "Have you thought of it? Have you thought of the steps?"
While she was in a daze, Xi Ling was not idle either. She was recalling the recipes of that year and the process of making the heavy-tasting kelp.
"I figured it out." Xi Ling sighed, "It wasn't easy. After searching all my memories, I finally remembered it."
"Wash the kelp and cut it into short strips. Cut three red peppers diagonally and set aside. You can add a little coriander for garnish."
Sister You stood up and prepared to cook, "Deer cubs don't eat coriander."
"You can add it or not, depending on your mood when arranging the dish."
Qingyou: "Do you want to wash the pot?"
Xi Ling: "Forget it, it's too late."
In the end I still brushed it because the food was not served cleanly and there were still some kelp shreds stuck on it. More importantly, it affected the taste.
Clean the pot and turn on the fire.
There are still some water droplets in the pot at this time, which need to be boiled dry without leaving any trace. The spatula must also be clean without leaving any water. Otherwise, when you add oil later, the hot oil and the water on the spatula will collide with each other and splash out.
Don’t use high heat when cooking. Don’t use high heat.
Not a professional chef, especially not a novice.
Don't use high heat when cooking, absolutely don't use high heat, otherwise it will be a tragedy and burning through the bottom of the pot is not a dream.
Chef You wiped the water drops on the spatula and waited for the pot to dry. Assistant Ling saw that the time was right and said, "Add one spoonful of vegetable oil."
Add vegetable oil.
"Then add sesame oil and red oil in turn to enhance the flavor."
Chef You prepared two kinds of red oil, "Is it the meat red oil or the red oil for frying chili peppers?" The meat one is fried with meat oil and chili peppers, and the latter is fried with vegetable oil.
Some dishes particularly require red oil, and the preparation is quite sufficient.
At this time, the oil in the pot is gradually smoking, which means that the oil is good. It is also the most dangerous time. The temperature is gradually rising. It is best not to add water at this time.
If it is some stew, you can add water when the oil is not smoking. Anyway, you still need to cook it later, so it doesn’t matter whether it is good at the beginning.
The lessons learned through blood and tears tell us that you must not add water when the oil is smoking. You must lower the heat, or simply turn off the heat to let the oil cool. Otherwise, it will not just be a "sizzling" sound, but a car rollover scene.
The fire was on high, the oil was smoking, and all the buffs were stacked up. But at this time, he insisted on adding water. It was unjust if he didn't overturn the car!
"Add the chili and stir-fry for half a minute." Assistant Ling reminded. Chef You moved quickly, mixing the three kinds of oil and making a spicy aroma. He added the red chili and stir-fried it, turning down the heat so that the chili didn't burn in the pan, but just kept it slightly crispy.
"Put in the kelp shreds and the seasonings, and stir-fry evenly."
Under the command, Chef You handled each step in an orderly manner.
"Add half a spoonful of white vinegar and a large spoonful of soy sauce, stir and continue to fry until fully cooked. If the pan is dry during this period, you can add a little water and finally serve!"
Half a minute later, the kelp shreds are out of the pot.
There are still 30 minutes until the fawn wakes up.
“It tastes good and is very authentic.”
Assistant Ling took a bite and gave her evaluation. When she was about to ask the food tasting team to take it out, Xi Ling covered her chest. Her intuition kicked in at this moment: "I don't know why, but I feel a little panicked."
After hearing Xi Ling say this, Zhu Qingyou also had a similar feeling.
When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, intuition will provide guidance at critical moments. Although the two's cultivation is not that high, they have a solid foundation of basic knowledge and will not ignore the hints brought by this intuition.
"Is the fawn going to wake up?"
"Do it quickly, I'll return my body to you." Xi Ling immediately gave up control of her body.
Today, the dish has been restored, but it has been eaten up completely, leaving only the last plate of shredded kelp.
Xi Ling directed from a distance: "Just cover the kelp shreds with a simple heat preservation device. If time is insufficient, it can still maintain the temperature when it is just out of the pot."
You can also put it in the refrigerator, but that will keep it at room temperature.
Xuanmeng Realm has a particularly convenient heat preservation device, which can also be called a quick lunch box. It is very cheap and looks like a translucent bowl, not made of glass. Put it upside down to cover the food, and it can be preserved at the moment it is covered.
The advantage is that it preserves the best taste of food when it is just out of the pot, and is often used in food delivery. However, the disadvantage is that it cannot be bumpy and there cannot be any gaps. If you want to preserve it, you must tie a rope on the protective cover to secure it.
Without Xi Ling saying anything, Chef You immediately began to prepare the ingredients needed for dinner, and he turned on several fires and set up several pots at the same time.
"There's no other way. We have to do them at the same time." Sister You continued to prepare the ingredients.
Some ingredients have been prepared long ago, such as tomato and Chinese toon noodles. Take out the tomatoes, cover them with a thermal insulation cover, immediately add water to the pot, turn down the heat and cook slowly. It is best to add the noodles as late as possible.
At the same time, take advantage of the free time to thaw the tofu slices.
There are still 20 minutes until the fawn wakes up.
After eating the kelp shreds, the food tasting group smelled the fragrance and wanted to go into the kitchen to get more, but the kitchen door was locked and they couldn't get in.
Huahua saw it very clearly. He said, "It seems that there is no share for us."
The others tried their best but failed to open the locked kitchen door, so they had to give up.
They took another digestion pill on the way.
I am so hungry and restless now!
And all the food is in the kitchen.
There are still ten minutes until the fawn wakes up.
Upstairs, in a dream.
Lin Shilu fell asleep, but her body was still functioning, just with the lowest consumption. She was dreaming, but because she felt very hungry, she woke up early!
The moment you wake up, the dream disappears.
Her heartbeat was still as excited as in her dream and had not yet stabilized. Her heart was filled with residual joy, followed by the melancholy of not being able to remember the content of the shattered dream and the increasingly obvious hunger in her stomach.
When she first woke up, an inexplicable emotion burst out in her heart, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she was unaware of it.
Lin Shilu woke up from his dream, yawned and walked downstairs, and saw that his friends seemed to have green eyes, "What are you doing?"
There was a hint of tears in every pair of eyes.
The barrier of the kitchen was half open, but the outside world could not hear the noise coming from the kitchen, but the people outside the kitchen could not hear the outside world.
The premonition came true and Zhu Qingyou became extremely nervous. She was so flustered that she almost put the wrong ingredients in several pots.
Xi Ling was also nervous. After seeing the pot boil, Zhu Qingyou accidentally put several more handfuls of noodles in the pot. She immediately became a screaming chicken: "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
“You put too much noodles.”
"It's not a big problem, let's just leave it this way for now." Zhu Qingyou wished she was an octopus so that she would have many claws to deal with the situation.
Outside.
Facing the expectant gazes of his friends, Lin Shilu couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Within 20 minutes, the digestive pill took effect. The food in the stomach was quickly broken down into spiritual energy and impurities. The impurities were discharged from the body through the operation of the magic, and the spiritual energy remained in the meridians.
I’m very happy that my spiritual energy has increased, but the problem is that I’m really hungry!
I was so hungry that my eyes were shining, so hungry that my eyes turned green, and tears welled up in my eyes.
The question is, I regret it. I really regret that I shouldn't take digestive pills anymore. Although they taste really good, within 20 minutes I will go from full to hungry, and then to starving.
If he didn't have strong self-control and there were other people who were as hungry as he was and could stop each other from behaving out of line, if he was alone, he would probably have gnawed on the dining table and chair.
Lin Shilu wanted to run away when she saw this scene, but she looked around and found that there was one person missing. She asked, "Where's Youzi?"
Folding his ears wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Do you smell the fragrance in the kitchen?"
Qi Ye swallowed, "That is a fatal temptation."
Someone's stomach started growling, and a symphony of hunger began to play on the scene.
Siyuan expressed the thoughts of everyone in the food tasting group, "We are so hungry! We are really hungry!"
Shao Shao resisted the urge to knock on the door again, his hands clenched under the table, he said: "Sister You is poisoning the kitchen, ah bah, cooking, we tried everything but couldn't get in."
Lin Shilu looked at the pile of dishes on the dining table. She was surprised: "You ate so much, and you are still hungry?"
Within those 20 minutes, hunger swept through everyone. There was still some food on the dishes, but it was quickly divided up by them. Now there were empty plates, each one looking cleaner than the other, as if they had just been washed.
Qingxuan picked up the plate next to him and showed it, "Look at this plate. It's so round, so shiny, and so clean!"
"Yes!" Hua Hua said sadly, "It's not enough at all. Can we have another meal with you later?"
The deer cub agreed, "Okay."
The dinner that Sister You was looking forward to was not served!
As the footsteps got closer, Zhu Qingyou finally finished preparing all the dishes, but the portions were a little too much.
She was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
Lin Shilu was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but the next second the door was opened by Zhu Qingyou from the inside.
"It's just right. Everyone is hungry. Let's eat together." Lin Shilu pointed at the plates on the table. "I think they are so hungry that they are going to eat the plates."
Zhe Er seized the opportunity, rushed into the kitchen at a very fast speed, rushed out with food, and put it on the dining table: "Don't worry, leave it to us!"
The other five took advantage of the opportunity and rushed into the kitchen with the empty plates on the table. They put the plates in the dishwasher and rushed out with other dishes.
There were still noodles cooking in the pot and they hadn't been served yet, so Siyuan and Shaoshao worked together to carry the pot towards the dining table.
No matter how hungry I was, I never let my saliva drip into the plate, and I never stole food.
If Sister You gets angry, the consequences will be terrible.
People who eat have no right to complain that the food is bad.
Similarly, if they have already eaten a meal and want to eat again, they must be attentive and work hard to get a free meal.
Zhe Er worked extra hard, pulled out the table and chairs, and invited them to sit down: "Come on, both of you, please sit down!"
All other tasks were shared, such as going to the kitchen to get new dishes and chopsticks. Huahua couldn't just sit there with nothing to do, he had to perform, so he took out two candles from the terminal and placed them on the table.
"To create a sense of atmosphere, just pretend we don't exist."
Once this was said, others echoed it.
Those who want to turn off the lights should turn off the lights, and those who want to light candles should light candles.
After everyone was seated, the others' eyes lit up when they looked at the food in front of them.
The pairs of eyes seemed brighter than candles in the dark, and their movements were more active than each other.
"How can I trouble you two with such a small matter? I'll do it!" Zhe Er picked up the bowl and chopsticks to scoop up the noodles, and gave the others a look, whispering, "I'll serve the noodles, you pass the bowls."
The gurgling sounds continued in the darkness.
Qingyou didn't know what to say. Look at how hungry he was. Her dream was completely shattered.
Xi Ling was still in the body and had not returned, and she did not remind him deliberately. During this period, she would let Xi Ling come out to control her body, enjoy delicious food, and see the people she wanted to see.
There is no need to deliberately reveal who you are. If you are too obvious you will be discovered and then you won't be able to reunite.
Under the dim light, the six members of the food tasting group ate their meals happily.
He said nothing, for he was only concerned with eating.
When you are hungry, delicious food fills your hungry stomach, which is an indescribable happiness.
Zhu Qingyou, Lin Shilu, and Xi Ling who showed up from time to time were all feeling a little better and were in a mood to pick up food for each other.
Qingyou's original dream was completely shattered, but her and Xiling's wishes were realized in an alternative way.
There were light bulbs around, but no one was talking except them. They were just focusing on eating.
The six people were concentrating on eating and oblivious to what was happening outside.
The food tasting session is officially over!
Regarding the weight of the pot, it is purely fictitious, please don't worry about it.
But to be honest, the pots at Luzai's house come in different weights. The one for frying kelp shreds is relatively light compared to the other types. Sister You uses a different pot to fry kelp shreds and to make tomato noodles.
The more I write, the hungrier I get. I can't hold on any longer. I'll catch bugs tomorrow.
I got two golds in ten consecutive games today. I'm so lucky. It's hard not to update, so I updated it. More than 6,000, two in one.
The more I write, the hungrier I get, so I'm going to eat.
