This is the first time for Fang tang to cook with so many people watching him. He doubted that if he were not a priest, the village chief would inordinately think he was wicked.
Because of the thick and solid texture of the python's meat, Fang Tang changed his original plan of making a salt and pepper python ribs into fillets, which is the meat on python's back. It is also the most delicious part of a snake. To cook this, you need to cut it into finger thick and marinate it with cooking wine and ginger. Then you need to use a small pot stir frying salt and peppercorn together.
A strong aroma comes out of the freshly made pepper salt, which is a fragrance those villagers have never smelled. Although this smell is new to them, they can't help drooling merely by smelling it.
Fang Tang bought peanut oil with him for this adventure, he poured some into the pot and heated it, then he put python fillets in and fried them to golden brown. After that, he picked these fillets out, and then put them into the pot again, when the oil was heated to certain degree, to get these fillets fully fried. And the oil that has been used to fry fillets will be saved in an utensil for other use. When the frying part was done, he added some oil in this pot again to sauteed scallions for the nice flavor, then added snake fillets and pepper salt in, stir fried them for a few minutes and served them in plates.
Jiang Jinjiu was standing next to Fang Tang and waiting for this dish from the very beginning. Seeing that it was done, he didn't even think about whether this would be too hot, but directly grabbed one piece with bare hand and took a bite. The hot and tender meat was hidden under the golden and crunchy surface. Obviously, no spicy ingredients were added, but the snake meat contained a hot and spicy taste. Unlike some unpleasant hot flavor,it enhances the nice flavour of the meat. The snake meat is very chewy, while you are chewing it, its gravy would slowly slide over your tongue, and this delicious and fresh taste combined with the hot and spicy flavor, will ignite your taste bud and pass this joyful feeling to your head.
Jiang Jinjiu raised his thumb to Fang Tang, as he was stuffing himself.
Warren was also one of the onlookers. The golden color and strong fragrance of this dish, as well as Jiang Jinjiu's joyful expressions all attracted him, so he reached out his hand and picked up one piece.
"No,Warren! Don't!" The old village chief shouted.
Having seen that Fang Tang also ate one, Warren decided to try. He thought that if his saviour can eat this, why should he be afraid. Without them, he was dead already. So he closed his eyes and took a bite.
"Wow!" Warren exclaimed with surprise.
"Ah!" The old village chief shouted in horror.
"It's delicious! So so delicious! I have never eaten such delicious meat in my life!"
"Is it really that delicious?" A few brave young men in the village heard Warren's praise and saw that nothing happened to him, they also took one and put it in their mouth.
The old village chief's son also wanted to eat, but was stopped by his father.
As more and more people yelled loudly with surprise and excitement after eating, other villagers also run out of their composure and reached out to pick it up, and soon a large pot of salt and pepper fillets were finished. And Fang Tang made a bigger plate right away. In the end, even the old village chief couldn't help tasting one, and was completely impressed by Fang Tang's food.
So the women in the kitchen all listened to Fang Tang's instructions and decided to make dishes with Sarman python. Unfortunately, there were very limited ingredients in this plane, and Fang Tang did not bring a lot of ingredients from the earth either, so they couldn't make a full snake feast.
Fang Tang asked Jiang Jinjiu and Warren to hunt wild game, and he collected some mushrooms on the edge of the misty forest that he judged to be edible. Then he gave them to other villagers and asked them to pick more of these.
Jiang Jinjiu and Warren had good luck and caught a few pheasants. Fang Tang smashed chicken bones and snake bones, then simmered them for stock. After that, he found a few bathtubs and poured the collected snake blood into it. After adding water and salt, it turned into a blood curd, also called blood tofu.
Snake intestine, part of snake tongue and blood tofu together were made into Maoxuewang (blood curd and other ingredients are boiled in to chili source). Although there is no chili pepper, the meat and internal organs of the red Sarman python seem to have a wonderful spicy taste.
The other part of the snake intestine, snake tongue, snake heart, and snake liver were stewed into sauced meat. What's more, there were two other dishes, mushroom snake soup and stewed snake with wild vegetables. In the end, Fang Tang made a dish himself, it's called White Jade Inlaid Gold.
He cut the white radish into a three-finger thick cylinder, dug out the middle part, quickly fried the cut snake meat first for about 30 seconds, picked them out and put into boiling water, then fried the garlic cloves, after that put the fried garlic cloves in cold water to remove the oil; Added the cooking wine, ginger, salt, and sugar to the water snake meat was soaked in, took the meat out and steamed it for 30 minutes, then took the steamed meat out, stuffed it into the hollow radishes and poured a little snake soup collected from steaming process on the stuffed radishes; Steamed them in the pan for about 40 minutes until the radishes got soft.
Then he made a source from the remaining soup of steamed snake meat, some soy sauce and sesame oil, and pour it on the stuffed radishes. The people in the kitchen were all astounded, they never thought that making a dish could be so complicated.
For ordinary people in Olund, there are only three ways to cook. They would either roast the ingredient directly on the fire, or fry it in a pan until it's cooked, or put all the ingredients together and stewed into a pot, nothing more.
Unlike them, there are 28 cooking methods in Chinese cuisine: deep-fry, sauteed, roast, stir fry, wet frying, boil, quick-boil, instant-boil, steam, stew, braise, simmer, quick-braise,steamed first, then fry, pot-roasting, stir-fry before stewing, fry with a small amount of oil for a long time,non-scramble form of oil frying, stew in soy sauce, lightly cooked, then placed in an earthen jar and marinated,toss, cold mixing, pickle, jelly freeze, soy sauce pickle, marinate,grill, smoke. These villagers would certainly be frightened if they knew all these cooking methods.
Seeing that people here were so happy just because of his food, Fang Tang used "Food Buff" while cooking. Anyway, this is not the earth, and it's normal for priests to use spells here.
Alpha system has completed the parse of primary heal now, that is to say, when Fang Tang uses "Food Buff" to apply the primary heal on food, he no longer needs to use the primary heal of priest's divine spell. As long as he has enough "faith in food", he could continue to apply primary heal to any food.
Besides, Alpha system is also on its halfway on parsing middle heal.
Added with "Food Buff", the dish White Jade Inlaid Gold was radiating with holy light while being taken out of the pot. Some villagers knelt down at the time, thanking the gods for their gifts, and some even expressed their willingness to believe mother of cats and goddess of travel, Shariel, which was beyond Fang Tang's expectation. In his mind, Fang Tang was thinking complacently that he seems to have the talent to be a priest.
So when the last dish, Maoxuewang was served on the table, Fang Tang heated the oil that had been used to fry snake fillets and pour it on this dish. Right away, with the splashing sound, a nice aroma came out. And this delicacy pushed this celebration banquet in to a climax. The old village chief also played Mandeline, which is an instrument with six strings. The villagers were dancing around the bonfire and singing ancient folk songs that Fang Tang had not heard.
Even Jiang Jinjiu couldn't help joining in the dance queue. With his Kongfu skill, he quickly learned how to dance like them. The villagers were all in joy, and this kind of joy from their hearts deeply touched Fang Tang.
In his mind, the bonfire banquet in this poor and humble village is far better than the luxurious banquet of the Star Hotel. The people here are so happy and satisfied just because they eat good food and because of the dishes he cooks. And this is the greatest sense of accomplishment for a chef.
At this time, Fang Tang saw a few children who finished eating were watching two little creatures fight with each other. Because it was dark at night, he couldn't see clearly what these creatures were. Walking closer, he found these were two crabs.
There are not much difference between the crabs on Olund and the earth, expect the crab claws here are bigger and more aggressive. That's why the children put two crabs in a large wood tub to play with them in order to watch them fight with each other.
Fang Tang picked up one and shouted to Jiang Jinjiu: "Bro Jiang, come and see, there are even your favorite crabs."
Because of his yelling, the villagers gathered around him again. The old village chief asked unbelievably, "Reverend Roy, do you even eat this?"
Fang Tang smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid, this is also edible."
