Chapter 457 Preparing Pickled Preserved Eggs
After everyone had a hearty meal, they continued to go to the kitchen to assist Li Heng.
It didn’t take long to prepare the remaining nearly 100 bowls of braised pork with preserved vegetables.
As soon as this dish was launched, it quickly received praise from other disciples of the Lingzhi Sect.
A few days ago, they often saw Li Heng and a few others fiddling with the Star Spirit Grass in the yard.
He dried the fish in the sun, steamed it, and dried it again, repeating this process several times. At that time, no one understood what he was doing.
Some people also think that he is just too idle, so he wants to find something to do.
None of the disciples would have thought that Li Heng was actually making a kind of delicacy that they had never seen before.
It was not until today that they realized what was going on after they put the braised pork with pickled mustard greens into their mouths.
The Star Spirit Grass, which was originally used for making pills or feeding cattle, became a magical delicacy after passing through Li Heng's hands.
Who would have thought that the combination of pickled mustard greens and pork is so perfect.
If they were asked to rank the most delicious dishes that Li Heng has cooked since he arrived at Lingzhi Sect.
Today’s dish of braised pork with preserved vegetables is definitely one of the top three.
So who is the first place?
This group of disciples will definitely tell you that the most delicious dish is always the next one made by Li Heng.
After finishing today's lunch, these disciples had a new understanding of Li Heng.
Never think that Li Heng is busy doing nothing.
Because he can always use ways that no one would have thought of to turn all kinds of ingredients into delicious food and then put it on the table.
Magical Kitchen Repair! Magical Master Li Feng!
......
After lunch, Li Heng planned to take a short rest. He had just been to Sister Hua's place not long ago, so he could go there again in the evening.
Li Heng lay on the chair for a while, and then he remembered that he was also sitting on this chair yesterday.
Before falling asleep, I have summarized a few things waiting for me to do.
Li Heng was not sleepy at all, so he simply opened his eyes and raised his left hand.
"Shu~"
A fist-sized, grayish-white stone appeared in his hand.
It was the limestone he had collected when he was hiding from the rain in the cave last time. He rubbed it in his hand for a while, then put it into the ring.
That’s right, Li Heng is preparing to pickle century eggs.
The salted duck eggs he made last time had been eaten a long time ago, and he happened to have the ingredients for making preserved eggs on hand.
He felt it was necessary to let these aliens in front of him feel the charm of preserved eggs.
You have to know that this thing, even if it is placed on Earth, is not a delicacy that everyone can handle.
Because even Bear Grylls, who claims to eat everything, has fallen into trouble with preserved eggs.
A ruthless person who can even eat insects and animal feces can actually be defeated by a small preserved egg. If I tell him such a thing, I guess no one will believe it.
In Li Heng's eyes, preserved eggs are a rather unique delicacy. He doesn't hate them that much, but he doesn't like them that much either.
If there is, you can eat a little, but if not, you won’t particularly want to eat it.
In his previous life, Li Heng also tried to pickle preserved eggs when he had nothing to do. He still remembered that time, and it seemed that he used duck eggs.
When he looked through the ring, he found that the duck eggs had been eaten.
There were still quite a few eggs, and as far as he knew, eggs were also feasible.
It’s just that there will be slight differences in the appearance and taste of preserved eggs made from different types of eggs.
The preserved eggs made from duck eggs are black or dark brown in appearance.
The taste is more mellow, suitable for people with strong taste, such as Song Qingfeng, who is one of the few people Li Heng has met who likes to eat the spicy and soul-breaking food.
The preserved eggs are made from eggs and are light yellow in appearance.
Compared with black preserved eggs, yellow preserved eggs taste lighter and are more suitable for most people.
Regarding the two different types of preserved eggs, some people call them differently.
The black ones made from duck eggs are generally called preserved eggs. Among the black preserved eggs, there is also a kind with patterns, which are also called Songhua eggs.
The yellow ones made from eggs are usually called transformed eggs.
In fact, there is basically no difference between the two, whether in the pickling techniques or the types of ingredients used.
The only difference is that the amount of ingredients may be different, which is mainly due to the different protein content of the two.
But to Li Heng, they are all called preserved eggs. As long as they are edible, there is no point in worrying about the name.
He has even seen people use quail eggs to pickle preserved eggs.
If we follow the above classification method, do we need to give it a new name?
"In addition to soda ash and quicklime, pickled preserved eggs also require a little mud."
Li Heng stood up from his chair and glanced around the yard, as if looking for the two little ones.
"Xiao Chi, and Xiao Xiao, come on! Brother will take you to play in the mud."
At this moment, the two kids were playing chess nearby, and Li Heng shouted towards their direction.
"Brother Li Heng, you are already so old! Why are you still playing in the mud?"
"When I was Xiao Chi's age, I stopped playing."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Li Heng calling her, she replied with disdain.
"I was just kidding you! Actually, I just thought of a dish made of mud."
"If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"
After Li Heng finished speaking, he was about to walk out of the yard. Although there was mud in the yard, it was not the yellow mud he needed.
"Is this true? Can you cook with mud?"
"Go, go, go! We want to go too!"
While Lu Xiaoxiao was still wondering whether Li Heng was joking, Xiao Chi had already followed Li Heng's footsteps and walked out of the yard.
"Since stones can be made into vegetables, why can't mud be made into vegetables?"
Li Heng dispelled Lu Xiaoxiao's concerns with just one sentence.
"Hey, that's right! Wait for me."
Soon, Lu Xiaoxiao also chased out. That was cooking with mud, how could it not arouse curiosity.
It was obvious that what the two kids thought, cooking with mud, had nothing to do with the preserved eggs that Li Heng was going to make.
But it can't be said that Li Heng was deceiving the two little ones.
Because in his previous life, when he was still on Earth, he had actually seen snacks made of mud that could be eaten.
In an ancient book called "Compendium of Materia Medica", there was a record of the following sentence: "Fry with wall soil to borrow the earth's energy to help the spleen."
From this we can see that eating dirt is not just a joke.
Li Heng vaguely remembered that it was a kind of food fried with flour, eggs, and Guanyin soil as raw materials, and its name was "Chao Tu Mo".
This is what it means to eat dirt, but it is quite different from what Li Heng is going to do today.
But if the two little ones strongly request, he may give it a try.
After all, this is not a difficult task, and the raw materials are easy to find.
As long as he tries a few more times, Li Heng believes that he will be able to figure out how to make fried steamed buns.
