Chapter 69: Mystery
After months of cultivation, the pepper field in front of the yard not only got some seeds, but also was able to eat the peppers for a while, but there was still a big gap from the ideal amount.
It's a bad time, but it's also a good time.
The ingredients are undoubtedly relatively lacking, such as MSG and chili sauce that cannot be obtained now, but they have the purest game, even the fish by the river are more delicious.
During this time, in addition to Hu Da often sending wild meat, the villagers also caught a lot of good things. Frogs and snakes go without saying, digging a pangolin in a grass dam by the river, and sometimes catching a golden turtle in the river.
The wild girl Tiger Girl and her subordinates not only picked a lot of sweet wild fruits, but also got back two catties of honey, and found a litter of white-necked pigs, which also made great achievements.
That's right, although I live in this remote mountain village, I eat a lot of good things.
As the sun sets, the river flows quietly, a dragonfly mischievously kisses the water and quickly moves away, the fields are shrouded in mist, and smoke rises from the mountain village surrounded by bamboo forests.
Since it is necessary to make spicy tang, the staple food cannot be rice, and rice noodles need to be used.
Lin Haoran naturally didn't know how to make rice noodles, but he handed over these things to Cook Monkey Si, asked him to make rice noodles, and then let him do auxiliary work such as fish balls, shrimp balls, and meatballs.
After everything was ready, he boiled the soup until it was piping hot, garnished with bright red dried chilies, and then put the prepared ingredients down and mixed them again.
Wild vegetables and tenderloin are not easy to be too long, fish balls and shrimp balls are longer, and shiitake mushrooms should be flavored.
"Okay?"
Three scholars sat around a table of eight immortals, and a scholar holding a scroll shouted loudly inside.
"I know how to urge, dare to come in and help!" Lin Haoran's voice came from the kitchen.
"Gentleman Yuanchu, don't you understand?" Gu Qingfeng turned on the fan and said proudly fanning the wind.
Lin Haoran sneered: "No wonder you can't pass the Tongsheng exam!" Dongcheng, explain to that idiot what the true meaning of Junzi Yuanbler's Kitchen is! ”
"Brother Gu, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen: the kitchen is a place to kill, unkind, the gentleman can't bear it, so it's far away. It doesn't matter if you don't follow up in the kitchen! Zhao Dongcheng turned his head to look at Gu Qingfeng and explained seriously.
Gu Qingfeng grinded his teeth for a while, pointed to the kitchen door and threatened: "You go to the kitchen to help, otherwise I will beat you!" ”
As it turns out, don't reason with a villain who is bigger than your fist, because the villain often ends up reasoning with your fist.
"I'll go!" Jiang Ronghua had an idea, but he stood up and said.
At this moment, Lin Haoran walked out of the kitchen with the lid of the rice pot, on which were placed four large bowls and a clay pot, and said to everyone: "Sit down, the spicy tang that you can't eat in the palace is here." ”
"It's finally good!"
Jiang Ronghua sat down, little stars rising in his eyes.
"It smells so good!"
Zhao Dongcheng smelled the fragrance wafting in, swallowed his saliva and said.
Hum!
Gu Qingfeng reacted indifferently, but he didn't know who offended him.
After placing the bowl in front of them, Lin Haoran spooned the soup into their bowl. The soup is very fresh, and with the addition of various colored ingredients, it is really full of color, aroma and taste.
"What did I think it was? Isn't it just shrimp balls and meatballs cooked together with wild vegetables and shiitake mushrooms? Gu Qingfeng picked up the chopsticks, but he was not in a hurry to do it, and found that the bowls were full of very common ingredients.
Call......
Xiao Dongcheng has a soft spot for shiitake mushrooms, so he picked up a piece of shiitake mushrooms and blew them, and then put them in his mouth.
Because it was a little hot, he first sighed at the shiitake mushroom, but it turned out that he only took it to his mouth, and his lips touched the shiitake mushroom, and the spicy taste was transmitted from his lips to his whole body.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qingfeng found Xiao Dongcheng, who was suddenly still, and looked at him puzzled.
Xiao Dongcheng's eyes were choked with tears, and he looked at him with hazy teary eyes, looking pitiful.
"You're crying!" Gu Qingfeng hated people shedding tears the most, and he immediately became angry.
Xiao Dongcheng blinked his teary eyes, snorted and raised his head and said, "Yes...... It's so delicious! ”
As he spoke, he began to chew on the shiitake mushroom, mixed with the spicy mushroom, and the ordinary shiitake mushroom seemed to have become the best thing in the world.
Not only shiitake mushrooms, but he also tried shrimp balls and wild vegetables, and found that after mixing with this spicy taste, this ordinary thing immediately became more flavorful.
Is that true?
Gu Qingfeng had a suspicion, after all, these ingredients were too ordinary, and he liked to eat fish, so he chose to pick up a fish ball.
The fish balls touched his lips, so he couldn't help but lick his lips first, and found that the taste was very good, and after licking it greedily a few times, he found that the taste had penetrated into the flesh, and it was very comfortable.
Laugh at......
He gently bit the fish ball with his teeth, and the fish ball splashed with fragrant juice, with a strong fish fragrance, which is a kind of taste bud enjoyment, the taste is fresh but not fishy.
He had an idea and dipped the fish balls in the soup, and when he put them in his mouth again, his eyes widened. When you come to your senses, the secret of this Malatang lies not in the ingredients, but in this magical soup.
It's just that when he raised his head, he was dead, and he wanted to hold the chopsticks and rush over to kill the person opposite.
Wow!
Jiang Ronghua held the clay pot and drank the soup beautifully, looking like a fluttering fairy. It was as if he was not drinking soup, but drinking immortal brew, holding the clay pot and not letting go.
The experience allowed Jiang Ronghua to get the first chance again, and got the most delicious soup, although it was most likely at the cost of the thatched house all night.
This meal made Gu Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng feel unsatisfied. When they heard that they were going to eat grilled fish tomorrow, they immediately sent their men home to get a change of clothes and bedding and stayed at Jiang Ronghua's house.
Although there are three more mouths inexplicably, Lin Haoran's life is still the same. I am usually busy with the work of the dyeing workshop, occasionally doing some experiments, and then I will make some delicious food for these three foodies.
When the four of them get together, it's not all about eating, sometimes the three of them will talk about current affairs. Sometimes they talk about the Japanese and the Japanese, sometimes they talk about the Franco, and some people will criticize the corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
This corrupt official refers not only to civil officials and military officials, but also to eunuchs who have left a strong mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Previously, Lin Haoran had always thought that the eunuchs had completely lost power in the Jiajing Dynasty, but from their conversations, they knew that the eunuchs still played an important role.
One of the eunuchs of the celebrant Li Bin was impeached by Jinyi Wei Lu for embezzling construction materials, and Jiajing ordered Li Bin to be arrested and sentenced to death.
