Chapter 4 Do you want to make loach soup?

"Little, little prince, I, I'm about to put salt in it." The master returned to the poem in confusion.

"Salt! Adding salt now will cause the mutton to lose moisture and affect the taste! Listen to me, you can do whatever I say!"

"Little Prince? This?" The chefs were shocked. The master just now was even more unhappy. Although he didn't say it, he was obviously not satisfied.

I am afraid of laymen. If you want to talk about martial arts, we can't compare to you. If you want to talk about cooking, you can't catch up with us.

Gao Chong glared at him, "What's this! What's the matter! I'll listen to me! I can do whatever I want."

"Yes! Please give me the order!" The chefs could not afford to offend them, so they quickly bowed to take the order. The master who put the salt secretly disagreed and said silently: "Anyway, it's your thing, and if you ruin it, you won't blame us. Then let's listen to you!"

"Very good. Don't put anything in first, just boil it in clean water for a while, remember to skim off the foam. Now start burning the fire! Use cold water to heat up!"

"Yes!" Someone agreed and started to make a fire. Gao Chong turned around and said to Ding Zhou next to him: "Is there any other seasoning?"

"Please look at the little prince, everyone is here!" Ding Zhou quickly pointed to a case next to him, with all the green onions, ginger and garlic on it, but nothing else was left.

"Is this the only one? Pepper, star anise, cinnamon..." Gao Chong said a lot, Ding Zhou's eyes were full of confusion, as if he had never heard of these things.

"Not even? Is there any leek flower sauce? It would be troublesome without this. The sulfide in the leek flower sauce can remove the smell of smell and make the mutton more delicious."

Ding Zhou was stunned for a while and said, "Little Prince, this leek and flower sauce was made by poor families as food in winter. We can't use this thing."

"Oh, that's what I can find, okay, go find a jar! Remember to give money, if I know you are bullying the people, I will break your legs."

"Yes! Yes!" Ding Zhou agreed and ran out. The little girl opened her big round eyes and looked at the mysterious little prince carefully and curiously.

At this time, the mutton had already started to boil. Gao Chong directed them to replace the water, add warm water again, then add in the small seasonings such as green onion, ginger, and garlic, and start cooking again.

Soon Ding Zhou carried a stone pottery jar and ran in. After Gao Chong took it, he opened it, and a spicy breath hit his nostrils. He dipped a little with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His tongue was a little salty.

"This one is too salty! Forget it, I guess I can't find a better one, so just use it! Also, prepare more garlic, eat mutton and taste half less! This is essential."

When the chef heard what he said, he was a little skeptical.

"What else? Isn't this dish at noon?" Gao Chong asked with a look around.

"How can it be? Although the lady advocates frugality, she cannot have less than 6 dishes. Let me introduce it to the little prince. This is to sip beans, beans, and beans. Cut the tofu strips and cook them lightly, and dip them in five flavors. This is powdered rice, steamed rice, and add sugar to yam. This is jade, yam, cook, cut into slices, and scrub it to make honey... This winter melon pot is not simple, and it tests the skills of our chefs. Now only Master Liu can make it here."

Gao Chong saw that he was a little itchy, and he said to Master Liu, the one who was about to put salt into the mutton just now: "Master Liu, how about let me try it?"

Not only Master Liu, but everyone around him was stunned, Yun Niang couldn't help but complain: "These wealthy families just don't know how to feel sorry for the food, and the good ingredients have made you waste like this."

Master Liu was even more unhappy and said in his heart: "This carving is not something that can be done by dancing a knife or a gun, it is not something that can be done with great strength. This is true ability, but you will know it will not be easy if you do it."

However, they were the masters and they had no way to stop them, so Master Liu agreed and took out his carving knife disapproved.

Gao Chong opened the cloth bag and found that there were only 6 knives inside, which was not a little different from the 40 sets in his previous life.

Looking at these familiar things, Gao Chong took a deep breath, then took out a sharp carving knife like a dagger.

Master Liu was slightly stunned and smiled in his heart: "I actually chose the most difficult one to master! It's really a stick. Don't just think it's useful. This requires more accurate force. Most beginners use that kind of small fingertip knife. I want to see what special abilities do you have?"

As soon as Gao Chong picked up the knife, his eyes suddenly became sharp. This cold light and concentrating look made Master Liu feel unsure.

He skillfully cut open the winter melon, dig out the inner flesh, then put a corner on the table, took a deep breath, and calmed his mind.

"Swish!" Gao Chong's wrist was flexible and soon shaved a layer of white fluff on the surface of the winter melon. Then the carving knife in his hand kept flying, and the green winter melon skin flew up one by one.

The chefs of the Gao family had already surrounded each other. They were all staring at Gao Chong attentively. Someone secretly asked: "Master Liu, what is the little prince doing? What does he want to carve one?"

"It seems like a snake, what an ugly snake! Although the little prince has outstanding martial arts skills, he has no foundation in painting, so he will inevitably feel a little regretful."

Yun Niang also said in her heart: "This little prince's painting level is not very good? It's not as good as my painting."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this was Gao Chong’s real ability. Ding Zhou glared at them and walked up to please him, “Is the prince going to make loach soup? This loach painting is real and vivid.”

Gao Chong was concentrating, and after hearing his words, he smiled slightly, and said nothing. He finished drawing a long dotted line like a grass snake, and then used a little force on his wrist, and this time he also carved out some of the pulp of the winter melon.

Master Liu was slightly surprised and said, "The little prince can actually emboss it. This is much more powerful than just carving melon skins. It is also the most difficult to master. Even I can't do it well. It's incredible."

Everyone stared at Gao Chong's actions carefully. At this time, he had already started carving the snake's head, and a terrifying mouth opened, making people feel frightened at first glance, as if there was a monster lurking on it.

The long dotted line flew out in two days, giving the beast a bit more awesome and ecstasy. A pair of deer antlers penetrated straight into the sky, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

The sharp teeth, slender tongue, and wide eyes made everyone feel the urge to bow down.

Gao Chong was concentrating on his concentration, and his power of carving gradually increased, and the depth of carving gradually increased. Gradually, the strange snake was separated from the cavity inside, with a layer of almost transparent, thin white melon meat.

"Extreme relief! This is the ultimate skill of carving! Not to mention me, even my master has not mastered it, as far as I know, I can't find two I know of it! This is a miracle, a miracle!" Master Liu almost knelt on the ground, watching from a full angle.

After carving the head of the strange snake, Gao Chong began to carve his body. As his carving knife flew, pieces of melon flesh and skin flew, and a huge monster slowly emerged on the surface of the winter melon.

"It seems like a dragon!" Everyone exclaimed: "But the body is a little swollen, and there are inevitably some flaws."

Ding Zhou was already blushing and his neck was thick. He looked at Gao Chong's concentration, as if he was not blaming him. He coughed heavily and said, "Look at them well! Just this dragon head is enough to be worthy of everyone! Although his body is flawed, look at where the little prince painted it? It is a winter melon! If you use painted paper, it must be a peerless scroll, which is enough to be comparable to the painters in the palace."

Everyone nodded and kept praising loudly, for fear of falling behind. Yun Niang bit her lip, her eyes full of admiration.

Gao Chong didn't hear their words at all. He let out a long sigh and began to carve the dragon's body.

The streamlined elliptical scales and various flowing clouds appeared slowly, and a slender and powerful dragon hovered on the white and transparent melon meat.

"Pu!" Master Liu suddenly fell to the ground and exclaimed loudly. The manager and others almost glared out. They looked at the beautiful handicrafts in front of them, and they seemed to hear a faint roar of dragons.

"Okay! OK! It turns out that my bloated body is a floating cloud! Why didn't I expect it?"

"Miracle! What a miracle!"

"The little prince is mighty!"

The cheers were loud, and the cheers and applause sounded loudly. Gao Chong finally stood up. He let out a long sigh and looked at his work with satisfaction.

Although the movement was not large just now, there was still a little pain in the body. The body was not used to the knife in the right hand, so it was not easy to make it.

While admiring his masterpiece, Gao Chong did not notice the cheers around him stopped abruptly. He did not reply and said, "Go and cook a soup and pour it in later. This Yunlong White Jade Gu is completely completed! There is still a dragon eye left, let me give you the finishing touch!"

"Hmph! You are so leisurely!" A cold snorted from behind him, and Gao Chong's hair stood up. He quickly turned around and found that his mother Li was standing behind him with a pale complexion on his face.

Li was a typical view of the scholar-official class at that time and looked down on professions such as chefs. Today, when he heard a quarrel, he came in and saw that his son was showing his cooking skills.

This made her so angry that she almost fainted. Her son always took it as his responsibility to restore the glory of his ancestors. He could respect the wise and the wise, but he was very strict with his subordinates. How could he do such a humiliating thing today?
