Li Shu was shocked by how delicious the wontons were. He carefully studied the thick recipe book left by his master Xu Sheng. In addition to recording various recipes, it also recorded how to use color, aroma and taste. , Taste distinguishes the grade of some foods.
"This, this, this... This is perfect chaos! Yes! It's definitely perfect wontons!" Li Shu looked at the wontons in the bowl in shock, and then his eyes stayed on Zhao Hong's grandfather opposite him. The old man looked ordinary. He was ordinary, with traces of time all over his face, a hunched back and slumped shoulders, and thick calluses on his hands.
Just an ordinary old man from the mountains.
Of course, if there wasn't a twinkle in the old man's eyes occasionally.
"Old senior, please accept my respect." Li Shu stood up and bowed sincerely. This was based on the respect a chef practitioner has for his seniors.
"Don't be like this, hahaha." Zhao Hong's grandfather "Zhao Jing" smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, you can actually taste that these are perfect wontons. It is their honor to eat these wontons for you... No Like my grandson, ox chewing peonies is really a waste of natural resources.".
"Grandpa, you can't say that to me." Zhao Hong raised his head pitifully, not having completely swallowed the wontons in his mouth.
Although he couldn't tell that these were perfect wontons, he was sure that they were very delicious.
Everyone chatted while eating, chatting about the customs and anecdotes of the city. When breakfast was 80% full, Mr. Zhao Jing suggested that Zhao Hong take Li Shu and his party to "Huangyan Town".
"Huangyan Town is an ancient town. We passed by it on the street last night. In addition to many ancient buildings, it is also the town closest to the mountainous area. When we need daily necessities, we go to the town to buy them." Zhao Hong He smiled and explained: "But after dinner, I can also take you to the mountains to play. Do you want to go to the mountains or to the town?"
Li Shu was stunned for a moment. Seeing that his sister was hesitant to speak, he encouraged his sister to speak with his eyes.
The little girl thought for a while, and then said in a sweet voice: "Brother, what fun is there in going into the mountains?"
"If we go into the mountains... we can chop bamboo shoots. There is a bamboo forest on the top of the mountain in the northwest. The bamboo shoots there are very delicious, and my grandpa's "fried pork with bamboo shoots" is also a must!" After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he did not forget Look at his grandfather Zhao Jing.
"Haha, if you bring the bamboo shoots back, I can also make fried meat with bamboo shoots for you to eat." Mr. Zhao Jing laughed.
"Okay, then let's go up the mountain and dig bamboo shoots! Yaoyao has never dug bamboo shoots in her life." The little girl waved her hand and said. After speaking, she looked at the plum tree again and asked for his opinion with her eyes.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain and dig bamboo shoots." Li Shu smiled affirmatively, and the little girl instantly beamed. She felt that her brother respected her opinion.
The four pets were not hungry either. The big orange cat ate wontons, the squirrel ate walnuts, the thrush ate fruits, and Rhubarb ate more than a dozen wontons + a steamed bun + two round tomatoes.
Zhao Hong felt very strange about the fact that rhubarb eats tomatoes: "Hey, you, a big dog, actually eat vegetables?"
"Yes, Dahuang is a "vegetable dog" and likes to eat vegetables very much." Li Shu smiled and patted Dahuang's head gently: "Isn't that right?"
"Oh~" Dahuang shook his head and squinted his eyes with a smile, rubbing his plump body against Li Shu's calf.
After eating, we took a short rest and brought some sharp shovels, bottles of water, and bamboo baskets on our backs. Then Zhao Hong, Li Shu, Boss Jing, the little girl, the big yellow dog, the thrush, the big orange cat, and the white squirrel came together. Go into the mountains.
4 people + 4 pets, the big orange cat, the white squirrel are in the bamboo basket carried by Boss Jing, the thrush is on the plum tree's shoulder, and the little girl is squatting in the bamboo basket carried by the plum tree.
"The terrain in the mountains is complex and the plants are dense. You must keep an eye on thrushes, squirrels, etc., otherwise it will be difficult to find them if they disappear." Zhao Hong was very helpless, but he felt that he had fulfilled his obligation to remind them.
And through contact with Li Shu, he felt that Li Shu was not the kind of person who didn't think things through.
"It's okay, they won't run away." Li Shu said with a smile. He naturally knew his pets very well.
Zhao Hong nodded.
Dahuang ran in front, and Zhao Hong, Li Shu, and Boss Jing, who were carrying bamboo baskets, followed behind. At the beginning, there was a clear path surrounded by bushes. Gradually, there were more trees, and there were sounds of smart birds. The screams came from all directions in the woods.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp~".
"Chirp~chirp~".
"Jigu~jigujigu~".
Zhao Hong was clearing the way in front, constantly beating the bushes on both sides with a stick. Fragments of sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the bodies of several people, forming spots of light.
"Why are you beating the bushes?" the little girl squatting in the basket carried by the plum tree asked in a sweet voice.
"Because the woods are humid, we need to prevent snakes from appearing. Snakes are actually very easy to scare away. Just knock on the bushes." Zhao Hong explained.
"Hmm... Could the snake be on the tree?" The little girl put her hands on the edge of the backpack and raised her head to look at the branches of the trees: "What if a snake fell directly from the trunk onto a person's neck?" , what will happen if it turns into a scarf? ".
Li Shu, who was walking towards the bamboo forest, suddenly trembled, looked up at the dense branches, and said with a black line on his face: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, your brother, I'm afraid of snakes."
"Hehe, it's okay, brother, I will protect you!" The little girl said proudly: "I'm not afraid of snakes. If a snake falls on your neck, I will throw it away as quickly as possible."
"Hmph, you are not afraid now, but if a snake bites you, you will definitely cry."
"Stop looking down on others! I won't cry, huh!".
Boss Jing just kept his head on his way. Zhao Hong listened to the brother and sister's chat and found it very interesting. However, he also lamented how brave the little girl was. If a snake fell into his neck, he, a person who grew up in the mountains and forests, would I'm afraid I will pee in fear.
Everyone soon came to the bamboo forest. The 20-meter-high bamboos were emerald green. They rustled when the wind blew. Bamboo shoots, 20 cm to 1 meter long, were drilled out of the thick humus of the bamboo leaves. , just like thorns coming out of the ground.
"start!".
"The stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots made by my grandpa is really delicious. Let's shovel more bamboo shoots back!" Zhao Hong's face was full of joy. If it weren't for Li Shulai, he wouldn't be able to eat the dishes cooked by the old man. After all, in order to practice his cooking skills, it turned out to be Zhao Hong. Hong cooks.
"The shovel is very sharp, be careful not to shovel your feet."
Brush~
Zhao Hong aimed at an 80-centimeter-tall bamboo shoot and punched it lightly, then shoveled it off with a sharp shovel.
Swish, brush, brush~
While peeling the bamboo shoots, Zhao Hong cut sections of bamboo shoots into the basket, chopped one section, threw another section, and finally put the peeled bamboo shoots into the basket.
"Bamboo shoots are young bamboos with roots growing. Only the lower part of each section is eaten. This part is tender." Zhao Hong smiled.
