C100 Sweet and Sour Carp
There was a circle of people surrounding him and Food God was concentrating on cooking. Thus, he did not notice Zheng Kai's arrival in a short period of time.
Zheng Kai also did not make any noise. He silently squeezed through the crowd and watched with everyone else.
On the stove in front of Food God, besides the big fish that looked like a carp, there were also things like starch, flour, cooking wine, soy sauce, tomato sauce, and clear water. As for Food God, after killing the big fish in his hand, he nimbly cut open the two sides of the fish.
After that, Food God prepared the fish and put it into a seasoning made of pepper, raw tobacco, and a little salt. While the big fish was still in the process of being salted, Liu Ming quickly mixed the raw fish with sugar, vinegar, and wine to make a delicious sauce and set it aside for later use.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Kai instantly understood that Food God was preparing to make a famous Chinese dish, Sweet 'n' Sour Carp.
According to historical records, this sweet and sour carp originated from the Shandong province of Jinan, at least a thousand years ago.
With such a long history, he didn't know if these deities had actually eaten before.
However, Zheng Kai could tell from how they were holding their breath and staring at Food God with wide eyes and the appearance of the big fish on the stove in front of them, that they probably haven't eaten these immortals before.
As expected, just as Zheng Kai made this judgment, he heard the two Daoist Immortals beside Zheng Kai quietly discussing.
"What is Food God cooking?" Have you ever seen one? "
"I have not. However, this method is a bit strange. Since we are going to make fish, why not directly put it in the pot and instead put it in the bowl first?" What is so mysterious about the soup in that bowl? "
"Kuang Jinlong, shut up!"
The deity standing beside Zheng Kai was full of energy as he spoke. Suddenly, a stern scolding came from a place not far away from Zheng Kai. He couldn't help but be shocked and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, he looked towards the source of the voice and saw a ruddy haired old man holding a horsetail whisk. He immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Kai couldn't help but be a little shocked. It turned out that the little deity that stood beside Zheng Kai, who looked unremarkable, was actually the hypergolden dragon among the 28 constellations.
And who was that old man? He could actually berate one of the famous 28 constellations, the Proud Golden Dragon, and he didn't even dare to retort?
Although he was puzzled, this was not the time to ask.
In the Heavenly Court, the only deity that Zheng Kai was familiar with was Food God, who was focused on cooking. It wasn't appropriate to disturb him at this time.
Therefore, Zheng Kai could only suppress his curiosity and wait patiently.
However, Zheng Kai did not have the intention to disturb Food God. However, the old deity's scolding made Food God, who was concentrating on cooking, surprised. He followed the voice and also discovered Zheng Kai's existence.
Seeing that Zheng Kai was standing in the crowd, Food God couldn't help but be surprised. Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Kai quickly raised his index finger and signaled him to keep silent. He pointed to the stove and signaled him to continue cooking.
Food God also smiled apologetically at Zheng Kai as he understood what he meant. He lowered his head and continued to work.
At this time, after a period of marinating, the flavors had already seeped into the body of the big fish. A faint fragrance started to fill the entire kitchen, causing the deities to gulp as they gulped.
Seeing this, Zheng Kai couldn't help but feel that it was funny. He thought to himself, this is just the beginning, sweet and sour carp, they haven't even officially started, yet they already made you like this, then later, when they officially start, what will become of you?
Everyone looked at the big fish's eyes. Along with the faint fragrance, their eyes widened. Food God beside the stove was not affected by the smell.
He picked up the big fish and gently kneaded it a few times, as if confirming that the seasoning had already seeped into its body. After that, he mixed the flour and starch into a paste and began to evenly spread it on the body of the big fish.
As he smeared it, the faint fragrance emitted by the big fish was also covered by the flour paste made of starch and flour.
Seeing the disappointed looks on the faces of the deities due to the disappearance of the smell of the big fish, Zheng Kai couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself: "You bunch of bumpkins, how are you all so impatient?"
Knowing that the main event was about to start, Zheng Kai looked towards the stove with his eyes wide open.
After Food God finished smearing the batter, he immediately started a fire on the stove and started burning oil. After a while, he used his hands to test the temperature of the oil. When he estimated that the oil had already been heated to seventy percent, he finally picked up the big fish whose batter had solidified and put it into the pot to fry.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.0
The moment the big fish came into contact with the hot oil, it made a light noise. Following that, a strange fragrance rushed up from the big pot and quickly spread to the whole kitchen, even to the top floor of Food God's residence. It spread to the whole of Food God's residence and the streets outside.
Food God's customers and the pedestrians on the street also started to discuss as they smelled this strange fragrance.
"Aiyo, what's that smell?"
"I don't know. It seems like Food Godju is cooking."
"Making food?" Food God's mana has actually improved so much, to think that there would be such a strange aroma when cooking. It can even be heard from so far away, as if heavenly materials have appeared in this world? "
"I don't know. Why don't we go take a look?"
"Alright, alright, alright. Let's go take a look."
As discussions broke out, be it Food God's customers, or the pedestrians on the street, or those who smelled the fragrance, all of them could no longer stay calm.
People on the street swarmed into Food God's residence. Guests who were already in Food God's residence also swarmed towards the top floor.
Just when everyone was crazily rushing into Food God's residence or to the top floor. The sweet and sour carp that Food God was cooking was also slowly approaching its end.
The big fish had been fried to a golden color and Food God scooped it out of the pot and set it aside for later use. He left some hot oil in a wok and began to add the chopped scallion, ginger, garlic, stir-fry and burst the fragrance, and then poured in the seasoned sauce.
As the process progressed, the fragrance became stronger and stronger. The immortals who rushed into Food Godju became even more frenzied. In the distance, there were still many people riding the clouds.
And all of this, Food God, who was immersed in cooking the delicious food and the wonderful fragrance, as well as the deities at the top, were completely oblivious and did not know anything about it.
Seeing that the sauce in the wok had already been stir-fried, Food God also added a little wet starch to collect the juice. Then, he scooped out the rich and fragrant soup out of the wok and poured it over the golden fish.
After carefully watering, Food God finally straightened his back. He put down the spoon in his hand, clapped his hands and said with relief, "Phew, I finally finished it." Sweet and sour carp, done. "
Boom!
As he finished his sentence, a strange fragrance filled the air, and the other deities that had reacted immediately swarmed towards the stove as they crazily shouted, "Mine, mine, is mine!"
