章 37: Spicy Crayfish
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cen Li was absolutely stunned. Was she even human?! Could a human do that?
Wasn't this showing off? This was completely showing off!
No, it wasn't showing off anymore. It was more like teasing. Cen Li couldn't find the right words to describe it.
Chen Muxue had already ordered the fire to be turned off and directed the wok to pour the hotpot base into a large urn. This large urn had been washed with hot water in advance, so it would not crack due to the high temperature.
Chen Muxue felt that the hotpot soup base made today was a little dazzling.
Cen Li carefully looked at the wine that Chen Muxue had added earlier. He finally saw it clearly and became even more silent.
As expected of the Heavenly Cauldron Sect. No matter what, it was a sect that was an expert in elixir refinement. It indeed had some foundation. Any jar of wine it produced was a high-grade refinement material. Everyone had underestimated the Heavenly Cauldron Sect.
However, if these materials weren't refined well, they were useless. Other sects probably wouldn't need them, so they didn't think much of them.
But who would have thought that the ingredients that everyone thought were only used to refine pills would actually be used by Chen Muxue to cook?
After that, she even made the extremely rare purple jade rose cream. However, she only mixed a little bit of it into the large amount of oil because she only added a spoonful of wine.
Cen Li still did not know what the base of a hotpot was. He only knew that Chen Muxue had made a big pot of fragrant red oil. This kind of oil would probably be fragrant even when mixed with the soles of shoes.
Purple jade rose cream. If ordinary people ate it to recover their Qi and improve their appearance, the women of the capital's large families would go crazy for it. Some people who made a living with their looks would even go bankrupt to get a little when they reached a certain age. Unfortunately, there was no market for it.
After all, for immortal cultivators, this thing was a high-grade spiritual medicine that could consolidate their spiritual energy and prepare for breakthroughs! In most sects, Core Formation cultivators didn't deserve this. Only those who advanced to Nascent Soul could get a little!
It couldn't be helped. It was too difficult to refine, and the recipe was a secret. Therefore, the success rate of those alchemists who had the recipe was frighteningly low.
On the other hand, Chen Muxue boiled a hotpot base and casually poured a spoonful of wine to remove the fishy smell of the lard, and some of it was inexplicably refined. Wasn't it infuriating?
A divine artifact. It really was a divine artifact! Cen Li was even more convinced of the magic of the wok.
It would be great if he could have a taste. Whether it was delicious or not was secondary. The main thing was that he wanted to try what it felt like to eat with the purple jade rose cream.
Finally, the hotpot base was ready. Chen Muxue started to boil the oil again. This time, she used ginger slices and onion shreds. She didn't need much oil. She just had to heat the bottom of the hotpot and stir-fry it for two minutes. When the onions turned golden, she took them out and threw them away.
She also added dry chili and wild pepper, then added a spoonful of the hotpot base that had just been boiled. In fact, the hotpot base was the most delicious after it was boiled and left to rest for twelve hours, but it could be used now. It saved her the time of frying it, and she could directly add the wine.
As there was no beer, they were still using the same alcohol as before. If it was beer, one can would be enough with the same amount of water. But it was better to put less of this kind of alcohol and add more water. Chen Muxue directly added hot water and added the crayfish.
After adding salt, pepper, a little sugar, and finally soy sauce, it should be ready after ten minutes.
The restaurant required the gourds and the sauce. However, Chen Muxue preferred the soup if she wanted to eat it herself. If she only made this, she could use it to make some hotpot.
When the time was up, they opened the lid. The red crayfish in the gurgling soup looked very tempting, and the spicy and fragrant taste tempted everyone.
Everyone was looking forward to it. Only Dagui, who had been pinched by the crayfish, mumbled, "It's like a big worm. This soup is good for cooking anything!"
