I am a Chef in the Modern Era

Chapter 5: Dried bayberry

Views:

Sure enough, there were quite a lot of people on Tianhua Mountain, and the crowded ones all went to Yangmei Garden.

This is the season when the bayberries are ripening, the sweet and sour ones are the most delicious, and the farmhouses in the suburbs are beautiful, so there are quite a few people who come here.

Red bayberry is not usually a cheap thing, but this is the only exception. City S is rich in red bayberry, and when the red bayberry is ripe, the price is much cheaper. You can pick it while you eat it, and weigh the rest. It's also cheap to take home.

The whole bayberry garden is full of people, the tall bayberry trees, and the crimson and purple ones on them are red bayberries. There are many different bayberry varieties planted in this bayberry garden, but the price is the same, which is why so many people come to visit. taste.

"Xiao Yi, come and taste it, the bayberry is the sweetest at this time."

Old Yang picked one and handed it to Lin Shuyi. Lin Shuyi really had never seen this kind of fruit, it was purple and round, and the point was that it was delicious and sweet.

Lin Shuyi squinted his eyes, and quickly filled a basket with those of that color around him.

Old Yang froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Why do you act like you haven't eaten this bayberry? You don't want to eat anything else like this one?"

Lin Shuyi was also taken aback, what else? Is it better than this

Facts have proved that there are many varieties of red bayberry. Lin Shuyi tasted all of them, but in the end he felt that it was the delicious one that Old Yangtou picked for him in the first place.

When it was time to eat at noon, Lin Shuyi had already eaten a stomach full of red bayberries, and did not feel very hungry.

There are many farmhouses under Yangmei Garden, and many people who come to Yangmei Garden will eat there. Old Yangtou is no exception, and he brought Lin Shuyi into one of them.

Although it is a farmhouse, the decoration is not casual at all. The outside is quaint green bricks and green tiles, and the inside is full of log decorations. It looks like an ancient building.

Lin Shuyi felt extra warm, just like in Furong Tower back then.

"What do you two eat?"

"Roast chicken." Lin Shuyi said it subconsciously.

The little girl who ordered food was stunned for a moment, seeing that Lin Shuyi blushed a little.

"Sorry, we don't have roast chicken here."

Old Yang was also stunned, roast chicken? Do you mean roast chicken

"It's okay, Xiaoyi, do you want to eat chicken? Then make us a roast chicken."

The little girl nodded, ordered two more dishes before leaving.

After dinner, we strolled around Yuhua Mountain, and the two of us were ready to go back home. After all, taking a bus is no better than those who drive. If you leave late, if there is no bus, it will be a big trouble to go back in the wilderness. .

Lin Shuyi hugged a box full of red bayberries, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He doesn't have a refrigerator at home, and the bayberry cannot be stored for long in this weather, but he can go back and make it into dried bayberry. The sweet and sour taste should also be good.

But before he could finish his joy, a box of red bayberries was knocked to the ground, scattered all over the ground, and some were accidentally stepped on, unable to eat, Lin Shuyi immediately frowned , getting angry, looked up, and there was a man standing in front of him, looking at the red bayberry on the ground and then at him, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

"sorry."

Even if the voice is nice and the face is nice, Lin Shuyi is not happy.

The man turned his head after thinking for a while, and said to the woman in the black car, "Anna, take out the box of red bayberry from the back of the car."

Soon the woman put the red bayberry in front of Lin Shuyi, and Lin Shuyi finally looked a little better.

Shen Fu raised his brows and smiled, why is this little thing so funny, the expression is written on his face, making it extra fun to tease.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't do it on purpose, this box of red bayberry is considered to be my compensation for you."

Lin Shuyi also narrowed his eyes, and answered him solemnly, "You're welcome."

Shen Fu laughed out loud.

As soon as Lao Yang turned his head, he saw Lin Shuyi standing with a man with his hands in his pockets. He didn't know what he was talking to Lin Shuyi. Yangmei fell all over the ground. Lao Yang was shocked and thought it was If something happened, he ran over quickly.

"what happened?"

Lin Shuyi picked up a box of red bayberries on the ground, straightened up, "It's nothing, he knocked my bayberry off, and he paid me for it, grandpa, let's go."

Old Yang looked at the man suspiciously, and the man smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry."

"it's okay no problem."

Old Yang quickly waved his hands and pulled Lin Shuyi away together.

This matter was forgotten by the two of them.

It was already evening when we went back, and the sun was about to set. Lin Shuyi found a basin and poured the red bayberry into it, soaked it in some light salt water for a while, took it out to dry, and then waited for the sun to come out the next day. It's time to sunbathe.

He has never made dried bayberry, but he has made other preserved fruits before, so it should be the same.

The next day was really sunny. The red bayberry was laid out to dry for a day. At night, it was steamed in a steamer. When steaming, some white sugar was mixed in. After the sugar water melted, it would seep into the red bayberry, making it even more sour and sweet when eaten. Song Yan taught him all.

On the third day, the steamed bayberry is dried in the sun, so that it can be preserved for a little longer, and it is still sweet and sour, and delicious.

Lin Shuyi took some of the dried bayberries he made to Xiqin restaurant, and like the Dongpo pork last time, it got everyone's unanimous praise.

"What do you mean, how come you can do everything at such a young age?" The woman threw another dried red bayberry into her mouth, and then continued, "Like the ancestor in our family, he is so old and can't do anything. He can't wait to be fed to him even when he eats, if only he was as sensible as you."

Old Yang also smiled and chimed in, "That's right, we are very sensible."

As soon as the woman started talking, she couldn't control her mouth, "Yes, Old Yang, you have picked up a good grandson, much better than your own grandson."

Lao Yang's head froze, and then he reached out to pat Lin Shuyi's head, "Yes."

Lin Shuyi looked at the woman with a frown, thinking that he was simply picking up whichever pot he couldn't open.

Old Yangtou didn't care much, when the shop was gone, Lao Yangtou called Lin Shuyi to him.

"Xiaoyi, don't you like cooking?"

Lin Shuyi nodded, but he didn't know why Old Yang was telling him this

Old Yang thought for a while, "Then grandpa will leave this restaurant to you from now on."

Lin Shuyi stared, "Where is Grandpa going?"

"No, it's just that this restaurant is not reserved for you, and no one wants it."
