Chapter 1077: Boiled Cabbage in Clear Soup
Hearing Facing Qi Xiong's idea, everyone's eyes lit up, and as for Ye Changqing, he naturally had no objections.
"Little Changqing, you are the key this time. You must bring out your full strength; you must make the Buddhist hearts of those Buddhist Saints shatter for me."
Not just the ordinary Buddhist disciples, but the Buddhist hearts of those Buddhist Saints must also shatter.
To this, Ye Changqing nodded, but he didn't promise fully, only saying he would do his best.
"I will do my best."
"Mm, I believe in you."
Facing Qi Xiong was very confident in Ye Changqing's craftsmanship; hadn't Juexin and the others' Buddhist hearts shattered too?
Who could have imagined that a cook could one day become a key factor in influencing the battle situation, and in such a major war at that?
The matter of preparing the delicacies naturally fell to Ye Changqing. As for Facing Qi Xiong and the others, they only needed to wait for the Buddhist hearts of these bald donkeys to shatter before coming out to harvest the leeks.
At night, Ye Changqing and Zhu Wu were in the kitchen. Looking at the contemplative Ye Changqing, Zhu Wu asked curiously,
"What dish does Master want to make?"
What dish could guarantee that those Buddhist disciples would definitely have their Buddhist hearts shattered?
Hearing this, Ye Changqing replied in a deep voice,
"Boiled Cabbage."
"Boiled Cabbage?"
Hearing this, Zhu Wu was stunned. Are you sure you're not joking? A dish of boiled cabbage could make a group of Buddhist disciples have their Buddhist hearts shattered?
"Master, this..."
He wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it. After all, as a disciple, he couldn't just directly disrespect his Master.
Looking at Zhu Wu's hesitant appearance, Ye Changqing smiled.
"The boiled cabbage I'm talking about is different from what you're thinking."
Huh???
Hearing this, Zhu Wu was even more confused. Isn't it just cabbage boiled in water? What's different about that?
Without explaining too much, Ye Changqing started working, letting Zhu Wu see for himself.
The soup for the boiled cabbage Ye Changqing was making wasn't simple plain water, but was brewed from spiritual chicken and high-quality pork ribs.
Hearing Ye Changqing ask him to find a spiritual chicken and a rack of high-quality ribs, Zhu Wu was still full of confusion. What do you need these for to make boiled cabbage?
When he saw Ye Changqing start to brew the soup with the spiritual chicken and ribs, Zhu Wu was even more confused.
"Master, this..."
"Don't talk, watch carefully."
"Oh."
To save time, Ye Changqing had Zhu Wu use his own ghost energy to continuously increase the temperature, finishing in a few hours what would normally take days to stew.
The soup brewed from spiritual chicken and high-quality ribs was indeed fragrant and compelling, but it looked like meat soup. What did it have to do with boiled cabbage?
However, in the next step, Ye Changqing used a filter to continuously filter out the dregs from the soup.
After dozens of times of continuous filtering, the originally meaty soup slowly began to become clear.
In the end, at a glance, it was impossible to tell it was meat soup; it really looked just like plain water.
"This, this, this..."
Seeing this scene, Zhu Wu was completely dumbfounded. You can do that?
Then Ye Changqing displayed his exquisite knife skills. A flash of the blade passed, but the cabbage didn't seem to change.
"This part can be changed; no need to stew it."
He used spiritual power to simply process the cabbage, but looking at the unchanged cabbage, Zhu Wu was again confused.
What is Master doing? Why can't I understand anything this time?
After a series of operations, the cabbage remained unchanged.
However, when Ye Changqing poured the soup over the cabbage, in an instant, the cabbage seemed to bloom like a flower, quickly unfolding.
Good heavens, this left Zhu Wu completely stunned.
"This, this, this, Master, is this what you call Boiled Cabbage?"
"Want to taste?"
Hearing this, Zhu Wu tasted it cautiously, and his eyes immediately went round.
It was refreshing in the mouth, looking bland and tasteless, but in reality, it was rich and fragrant.
The soup brewed from spiritual chicken and ribs, paired with the sweetness of the cabbage—that feeling made his whole body feel much lighter.
"Delicious, Master, it's really delicious."
Next, Zhu Wu took bite after bite, and soon finished the bowl of boiled cabbage. Even so, he still had an expression of wanting more.
Watching Zhu Wu's performance, Ye Changqing was also all smiles. It seemed it should work.
The reason he chose boiled cabbage, Ye Changqing had his own considerations.
First, to make the Buddhist disciples' hearts shatter, they had to eat it first.
Although Ye Changqing had many choices, if there were one or two ruthless people in the Buddhist sect who saw it was meat and managed to resist eating it, all his efforts would be wasted.
So, after much thought, Ye Changqing finally chose this dish of boiled cabbage.
The taste goes without saying, but the most important thing is that although it is a meat dish, at first glance, it is just simple cabbage.
The Buddhist disciples wouldn't have much resistance in their hearts at the beginning, and only after they really ate it would they discover that this was a meat dish—but by then, wouldn't it be too late?
It was decided to be this dish of boiled cabbage.
The next day, Ye Changqing specially made a few bowls for Facing Qi Xiong and the others to taste.
Like Zhu Wu's expression, the first time they saw this dish, Facing Qi Xiong and the others all frowned.
"Little Changqing, although it's normal to eat something light in the morning, isn't this too bland?"
"Don't worry, Sect Master, you'll know once you taste it."
"Huh???"
Early in the morning, having boiled cabbage—Facing Qi Xiong and the others didn't say anything, but disappointment was hard to hide in their eyes.
But after tasting a bite, everyone was instantly stunned on the spot.
This is boiled cabbage?
This thought arose in everyone's hearts simultaneously.
Then they couldn't stop. They even drank the soup clean and licked the bottom of the bowl without a trace left.
Even that madman Qin Shanhai licked his bowl until it exploded.
"Holy shit, stop licking, the bowl exploded!"
"Delicious, delicious! Little Changqing, your craftsmanship is becoming more and more unfathomable."
"Sect Master is too kind. I've decided to use this dish; what does the Sect Master think?"
Ye Changqing then told Facing Qi Xiong and the others about his idea. After hearing it, everyone raised both hands in agreement and praised Ye Changqing for his thorough thinking.
The dish was decided, and the next step was preparation.
The most important thing about Boiled Cabbage is the soup; it must not only be stewed to be flavorful but must also ensure that the final soup is as clear as water, without the slightest bit of oil or meat.
It looks like clear water, but it is infinitely mysterious.
So the soup was made by Ye Changqing himself, while the cabbage was left to Zhu Wu to handle. With Zhu Wu's knife skills, there was no problem.
Soon, a sufficient amount of Boiled Cabbage was made and placed in small bowls, also to make it convenient for the Buddhist disciples to taste.
Look, in order to let the many Buddhist disciples eat well, Ye Changqing had also racked his brains. ===== CHAPTER 1078 =====
