Li Xiaomeng and Liu Zhongchao went to his hometown, which is also Caiqiao Township, where the uncle of the second dog Chen Zhiqing and Cai Bin once lived.

When the two came here, the former Caiqiao Township No. 1 overlord Lao Liu had been completely lonely, and the original auto repair factory was used by others to set up a farm. A group of people were broken, no one dared to show off their might, and the atmosphere in the entire Caiqiao Township was much better.

"Zhongchao, do you have anything special here?" asked Li Xiaomeng.

Liu Zhongchao thought for a while: "In our poor and remote country, most of the adult men are working as carpenters and bricklayers, leaving behind some old, weak, sick and disabled. A lot of land is barren, no one planted, to say that the entire Caiqiao Township can get what is eaten, our ancestors are a royal chef in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many signature dishes handed down, but they have not gone out. Another point is that everyone in the village except for the tree daddy will be fur, but it is definitely a must, and many people open mobile stalls outside to buy snacks. ”

"Tree Daddy?" Li Xiaomeng was shocked by the whole name, and laughed and said, "What kind of person is he?"

"Daddy Tree, a single, sixty-five-year-old man. People are very righteous, and his home is based on where Cai Bin lives, and his first-hand cooking skills are said to be the secret of the authentic imperial kitchen. is a five-guarantee household, notoriously warm-hearted!" Liu Zhongchao admired that tree daddy very much, and felt that it was a pity that such a good craft would not be carried forward.

"Okay, let's go to his house!" Li Xiaomeng was like a treasure, so Liu Zhongchao sped up the car.

Soon the car arrived at the door of a tiled house with blue tiles and red walls, and Li Xiaomeng had been here, because this family was less than 50 meters away from Cai Bin's house. The matter of avenging Cai Bin that day is still vivid, and the village is full of honest people.

Liu Zhongchao got out of the car, went to the door of the tree daddy and knocked on the half-hidden door, and shouted loudly: "Tree daddy, what about the people, are you not at home?"

"Which one, at home, looking for me to be a god?" An old and deep voice came from inside, and the dialect was extremely heavy, and Li Xiaomeng couldn't understand it a little.

And after Daddy Shu came out, Li Xiaomeng suddenly came to his senses, isn't this the uncle who showed himself the way to find Wang Lao Liu at the door of Cai Bin's house that day.

Daddy Shu recognized Liu Zhongchao and Li Xiaomeng, patted the dust on his body, and said, "What's the matter?" Xiao Chaozi heard that you went to the city, and your feelings are with Dabinzi's relatives, not bad, it's better than following Wang Laoliu's cowardice! Come, come, come in and sit down, I'm burning a pot of delicious food!"

Without waiting for Li Xiaomeng and Liu Zhongchao to agree, Daddy Shu pulled the two closer to his room, which was not very spacious and not very clean.

In the middle of the small tiled house was a large black pot, and the stove below was stuffed with straw, and what was boiling in the pot was boiling in the pot, and the steaming heat was tumbling in the room, and a different kind of strong smell of meat went straight to the nose.

"Daddy Tree, what delicious food are you burning here?" Li Xiaomeng followed the customs of the villagers, also called the old man Daddy Tree, and asked loudly.

Daddy Tree smiled, very complacent: "Good thing! You are lucky to come by chance, and you will be out of the pot immediately!"

Li Xiaomeng and Liu Zhongchao couldn't help, so they just watched the uncle control the heat below, wiped his hands with a towel, picked up a shiny copper spoon and shook it in the pot, and had to add some unknown seasonings to it from time to time.

This scene reminded Li Xiaomeng of the scene when the master was cooking in Wolong Village, it was a bit similar, the older generation of people were very meticulous in doing things, they had special skills, and the things they made were often surprising, and the tree daddy was not inferior to the master Zhang Qingshan in terms of cooking.

After a while, a large bowl of thick soup with white flowers printed with blue and white porcelain came out of the pot, and Daddy Shu's hands and feet were extremely quick to sprinkle green minced garlic and dried ginger on it, the color and smell, which made people swallow their saliva.

"For the sake of helping Da Binzi to uphold justice and clean up Wang Laoliu's little cowardice, I will let you feast on it today! And you kid, if you change your evil ways and return to the right, I will also reward you for a taste!" Daddy Shu took two pieces of chopsticks and put them in front of Li Xiaomeng and Liu Zhongchao.

Li Xiaomeng was not polite, he picked up the bowl and tasted it, the sticky soup melted in his mouth, silky and delicious, and the taste was unimaginably good.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Li Xiaomeng gave a thumbs up while eating in a big gulp, and Liu Zhongchao on the side was the same, eating very energetically.

The typical tree daddy in the shape of a rural old man is very complacent.

"Daddy Shu, now is not the time to eat, why are you hiding from home to cook such a delicious thing? What kind of meat is this, you have chopped it into puree, and you can't eat anything!" Liu Zhongchao put down the bowl and said.

"Hehe, of course you can't tell what kind of meat it is, because you've never eaten it before!" Daddy Tree touched his chin with pride.

"Is it human flesh?" Li Xiaomeng quipped.

"Go, go, nonsense!" Daddy Shu scolded Li Xiaomeng very tabooly, and said, "Just now when I passed by the river, I happened to encounter a red bone snake wrapped around the reeds, hehe, I couldn't help but catch it." ”

"Damn, snake, it's still a red bone snake!" Li Xiaomeng was shocked, "This red bone snake is highly poisonous!"

Daddy Tree didn't care, and said very calmly: "So as soon as I catch it, I will come back and chop it immediately, chop it and put it in the pot, the red bone snake is poisonous, but the boiling water can be poisoned, and it must be put into boiling water within ten minutes after the snake dies, otherwise the venom will be ruined when it enters the meat." It's delicious, you can't eat it for any money!"

Li Xiaomeng grimaced: "Your old man is too good at eating!"

"That's!" Daddy Tree unceremoniously took out all the snake soup still in the pot, and drank it in a big gulp, his Adam's apple moving and cooing.

"Daddy Shu, you have also seen me, and now Chen Zhiqing and his uncle are on my side. ”

"Chen Zhiqing?"

"It's Ergouzi!" Li Xiaomeng smiled and said, "My name is Li Xiaomeng, and I do business in Lingnan, what is your real name?"

Daddy Tree knew that Li Xiaomeng was not a bad person, so he didn't have any mustard, and replied happily: "The tree is like a tree, a tree of a hundred years of people, such as a flower like jade, and a plane tree." ”

"Daddy Tree is quite literate!"

"My name was given to me by my grandfather, and my grandfather was a lifter, so he was particular about choosing a name. Daddy Tree couldn't help but explain, "In the thirty-seventh chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is such a passage, the phoenix soars in a thousand miles, not a Wu or a perch; To be a man like a phoenix, then to be a tree is to be like a sycamore, a tree is like a paulownia, that's how my name came from, I don't tell him about ordinary people!"

Li Xiaomeng bowed slightly, his ancestor was a nobleman, even if he now lives in a poor and remote country, he still has a tone and aura. The names are so exquisite, coupled with the shocking cooking skills of that pot, it seems that Liu Zhongchao is really reliable when he says that Daddy Shu is the descendant of the imperial kitchen of the Ming Dynasty.

"Say, what are you looking for me?" Daddy Tree asked Li Xiaomeng seriously.

Li Xiaomeng thought for a while and said, "Daddy Tree, I want to help you open a shop and spread your cooking skills all over the world!"
