Chapter 9: Chef 8

The crowd drank, drank, and took a nap. When they rushed off in the afternoon, they felt very energetic. The three brave men originally planned to return to Beijing by crossing the five carriages in front of them, but in the end they were "short in hand and soft in mouth". I thought that since they ate a meal, it would be okay to protect them all the way to the next intersection. They parted ways and continued to fall behind the team.
The treasurer of the forest seemed to be sick, occasionally coughing twice, leading the handsome man to go to the carriage frequently, but because of a bamboo curtain, he could see nothing. After walking for more than an hour, the subordinates of Luo Tietou snored as they approached the man while snoring and lowered the volume and said, "Boss, when shall we stop and stay? I am hungry."
The man just gave him a faint glance. Without answering, the subordinates of Zhao Liuli said, "It's only been a long time since I ate lunch. Why are you hungry again?"
"The ravioli I made was so fragrant. I smelled and started to be hungry again. I still want to eat." Luo Tietou snored as soon as his voice fell, and his mouth was full of bacon. It ’s said that the food that eats in the stomach will stink within a quarter of an hour, so the nap is also smelly, but this dish made by the shopkeeper is completely different. After two hours, the rich aroma still stays in the belly. In the middle, even the hair and clothes were soaked with vegetable scent, which made people unbearable to smell.
In fact, Zhao Liu was hungry, so he could not help looking at the handsome man.
"Keep on, don't talk nonsense," the man said blankly.
The two looked at each other, lamented Qi Qi, and another hour later, when they saw the sun was about to go down, they ran to the front of the convoy, and said aloud: "There is an empty mountain ridge here for us to camp and rest. Going forward, there will always be dense forests, and there are many beasts in the forest, which is quite dangerous. "
"Then let's take a night here." Xiao Zhuo, who was called Xiaozhu, was not a person who didn't know what to do, and quickly let the driver stop the car.
"What will you eat tonight?" Luo Tietou asked anxiously before the carriage stopped.
"What do we care about what you do?" Xiao Zhu drummed his cheeks.
"No," Zhao Liu walked out from behind and laughed. "We could have taken the horse first, but now we protect you all the way. Isn't it too much to have dinner with you?"
Xiao Zhu was going to ridicule to return, in order to revenge on his previous vengeance, and heard a hoarse but gentle voice coming from the carriage: "Thank you a lot of big brothers for supporting you along the way. It ’s reasonable to ask you to eat. How can you be too much?" After the fall, the shopkeeper Lin jumped out of the car, and wrapped the turban carefully, so as not to let the blue silk flow around.
"Thank you to the treasurer Lin." Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou laughed suddenly. The shopkeeper Lin is very polite and makes people look comfortable.
The handsome man also arched his hand and said earnestly, "Thank you, Lin."
"You're welcome." Lin Dan smiled. "Don't eat too much dinner, and the taste should not be too heavy, otherwise it will cause gastrointestinal discomfort. How about a casual burrito?"
"Of course you can, trouble Lin Lin." The handsome man had no opinion, but his two subordinates were a little disappointed. They have eaten ravioli for many days. They are tired of eating. Both the burrito and ravioli are pasta. The taste is similar. It is better to continue eating bacon. They have a good stomach and will not be upset. But thinking about it, seeing that the leader had promised, the two naturally did not dare to raise objections.
Lin Danchong nodded slightly, then took two little girls to pick wild vegetables in the forest. Just after a spring rain, the soil is still wet, and various wild vegetables sprout from the ground, all over the mountains. The three servants remained to lift water, cut firewood, build a stove, and set fire. The two strong men planned to lie down and rest for a while, when they threw their hands at the shopkeeper, they were glared by their bosses and had to get up to help with the work.
A few minutes later, Lin Dan and the two little girls came back with a basket alone. The basket was filled with wild vegetables, including bamboo shoot tips, mustard, mushrooms, toon and so on.
The three servants set up two stoves, each holding two cauldrons. The water in the pot had boiled and was bubbling with bubbles. Lin Dan asked the little girl to wash vegetables, and she took out a bag of brown squares from the carriage.
"What is this?" Luo Tietou leaned over to look around, his face full of curiosity.
"This is a dried and fragrant specialty of Bashu, smoked with smoked bacon. The taste is salty and fragrant." Lin Dan explained slowly.
Luo Tietou picked up a small box and smelled it, and it really had a waxy taste, and the aroma of beans, the taste was very unique.
"Have you ever been to Bashu?" The handsome man who had always been quiet and quiet started to say, "The road there is difficult to take."
"Shu Tao is difficult, it is difficult to get up to the sky." Lin Dan laughed lightly. "But you will find that Ba Shu is the best place to go. The beauty of the mountains, the water, the people, and the food are more beautiful "As far as she is concerned, the place where there is food is Tianfu, so Bashu is the real country of Tianfu.
The handsome man nodded, a smile in his cold eyes, "The food in Bashu is really delicious."
"It seems you are also a favorite." Lin Dan rolled up his sleeves to handle the ingredients, cut the cooked and squeezed bamboo shoots, watered mustard, mushrooms and dried fragrant into diced and set aside. . The two little girls are in charge of meeting each other, asking Lin Danshui enough from time to time.
"Add a little more, the dough is too thick, and the cakes spread out are not thin enough or fine enough to affect the taste." Lin Dan commanded the two little girls and good noodles, then took out the lard that had been sealed for one winter and used it to fry the diced vegetables. . The lard was melted in the pot, making a crunchy sound of Zilazla, and another fragrant aroma smelt, causing everyone to swallow saliva.
"Mother, why is this lard so fragrant?" Luo Tieto sucked his nose and asked.
Lin Dan used a spatula to stir up the slowly melting lard, and said warmly, "The refining method makes lard naturally fragrant. I add water when I cook lard, which can prevent fat from becoming scorched and bitter, and The boiled fat is whiter and thicker. When stored in a jar, a pound of oil plus a spoonful of sugar and a few peppercorns can effectively prevent rancidity, and it will not be a problem for four or five months. "
In the gap between the words, the oil has been heated. Lin Dan has successively added ingredients such as diced bamboo shoots, dried diced diced mushrooms, diced mushrooms, and diced mustard, stir well with a spatula, and sprinkle with sesame and salt.
"Eat too hard at noon, let's eat lighter at night." She said slowly: "Three fresh, three fresh, three fresh water, three fresh trees. Our dish is spring three fresh. Bamboo shoots, mustard Mushrooms and mushrooms are first-class fresh products. Just stir-fry one or two with lard and flying salt is enough to taste delicious. Do you know what you eat on spring day? "She turned to see the name of Shaoyao and Rhododendron Two little girls.
Peony and cuckoo smirked. They were too drooling, and there was nowhere else to work.
Lin Dan stirred the vegetables and said softly, "Eat in spring is a word of" fresh ". This is the season when everything is recovering. Everything is new and fresh. You smell it is full of flowers. Is the air also fresh? "
"Fresh!" The two little girls nodded with smiles, and then asked again, "What about what to eat in summer?"
"Eating in summer is a word of" cool ". The hotter the weather, the more refreshing you will be, so that your stomach will stick. In the morning, a bowl of sweet mung bean porridge with a few pieces of mint parfait; at noon, bright red spicy oil and emerald green Mix a bowl of cold noodles with shredded cucumber and spring onion; drink a pot of sake and a few cold dishes in the evening, and then drink a bowl of sour plum soup in the evening. It ’s so fresh and refreshing, how easy is it? "
The two little girls licked their lips and asked, "What's for autumn?"
Lin Dan put the fried three fresh diced vegetables into a pot, and continued, "Eat in the autumn is a" tonic "word. In the morning, a bowl of peanut barley porridge, nourishing blood and nourishing qi; stew a pot with dried chestnuts at noon. The rotten old hen, the sweet glutinousness of chestnut penetrates into the saltyness of the chicken, and the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant for a long time; at night, the old pumpkin is cut into sections and steamed with tempeh. You have to make up for it, you can get back all the energy you lost in summer work, and you will be able to spend the winter. "
"That's what it means to post Qiuyi?" The two little girls suddenly realized, and then asked, "what should I eat in winter?"
"Eat in winter is a" warm "character." Lin Dan put five slap-shaped pans on the fire, wiped the bottom of the pan with a piece of fat pork, slowly poured the paste, and gently touched his wrist. Turn around, spread a piece of cake within two breaths, and buckle the pan upside down on a clean pot. The pancakes fall off by themselves, white and tender, stacked one by one.
Lin Dan's wrists flipped up and down, five pots rubbed oil one after another, and spread cakes one after another. In a moment, he had already made dozens of cakes, almost the same size and thickness. At the same time, she also spoke slowly, "The winter is very cold, and the food in your mouth must be warm to be comfortable. Then when the Chinese New Year, the family squeezed dumplings, talking and laughing, lively, Take the boiled dumplings out of the boiling water and take a bite while it is hot. The stomach is warm and the heart is warm. The fried meatballs, braised pork trotters, and steamed catfish are hot and fragrant. Oh……"
Lin Dan thought of the scene and couldn't help laughing.
The two little girls had ran away, covering their mouths, for fear that their saliva would flow into the pot.
The three strong men didn't know when they were around, watching Lin Dan talking while watching her cooking. This Lin treasurer not only cooks well, but also speaks very well. He opened his mouth and closed his mouth full of food classics, which made people listen as if he had enjoyed a feast, and he felt extra satisfied, and of course he was hungry.
The handsome man stared at Lin Dan for a long time, his eyes flashed with complicated light. When Lin Dan looked at him, he lowered his head casually.
After shaving the pancakes, Lin Dan washed the wild onions and cut them into sections. Then he took out the marinated sweet and spicy sauce, garlic sauce, spicy sauce, etc., packed them in small plates and greeted, "OK, Have dinner. "
The crowd cheered as they pushed to the pottery to grab food. The slap-shaped pancakes are white and raw, wrapped in diced vegetables and stuffed into the mouth, and the taste buds are filled with rich aromas. The bamboo shoots are crisp and refreshing, the fragrant dried diced glutinous and savory, and the juice of mustard and mushrooms is fused in the sweet crust, forming a thick freshness. If you feel the taste is mild, you can also wrap a little wild onion segments and sauces, salty, fresh, sweet, spicy ... all melted on the tip of the tongue, as if the whole spring day is contained in the mouth.
The three strong men took a sip and choked, and quickly stuffed the remaining burrito into their mouths, and then rolled one more and the next ... The spoon of amaranth was non-stop, and it was called the wind and the wind.
