Chapter 308: The Secret in the Wine
Because he knew that there would be guests in the forest farm today, the cuckoo specially asked Sugol to go to the town, bought a live lamb, and made a whole sheep feast that did not look very sumptuous but was very Durenque flavor.
When I walked into the restaurant, I saw a plate of finger meat, a plate of enema, a plate of cold salad of willow sprouts, a plate of lamb breast and steaming sheep's feet and sheep's head soup in a large basin. There is also bread stuffed with wild blueberries and thick plum porridge
Du Juan smiled and said: "Old men, we can't make any mountain delicacies in this remote mountain country to entertain, and please bear with me." ”
Although the old men are pampered, they still maintain the simple and thrifty style of the army in terms of life, especially against extravagance and waste, so they don't care whether the lunch in front of them is rich or not.
After listening to Du Juan's words, the old man Wu joked: "Little girl, you have made a good lunch, four dishes and one soup, this is the standard of the state banquet, and it is also a whole sheep banquet! ”
Old Man Wu didn't wait to sit down, he picked up a small piece of finger lamb with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and nodded again and again: "This tastes good, I haven't eaten such authentic finger meat for some years." ”
This finger meat has been the most used and favorite traditional food of the Durenque tribe for thousands of years, and it is also an essential food for entertaining guests. If a guest comes, you can't fully express your heart without this plate of finger meat.
The method is also very simple, first chop the bone-in mutton into pieces, put it in clean water and cook it, then sprinkle it with minced onion and salt, and then pour boiling soup on it. This kind of meat tastes pure and soft, the oil is fragrant and not greasy, it can eat meat, and can drink soup, especially boiled with lamb, called "lamb meat", and its delicacy is more superior.
Hearing Old Man Wu's praise, the other old men raised their chopsticks one after another after sitting down.
In addition to the hand-grabbed meat, the enema is to use the collected sheep blood clots to crush by hand, remove the small pieces after pinching, and then put the minced fat in, add some green onions, salt and other condiments, pour into the large intestine and cook, eat very fragrant, have a unique flavor.
Lamb breast meat is considered to be the most delicious part of the sheep's body, when the sheep is killed and skinned, a piece of fur on the sheep's breast is left, and the wool is repeatedly burned with fire and then cleaned with a knife. After cleaning and boiling the meat by hand, the lamb breast meat has a unique flavor.
Artemisia sprouts are a kind of wild plants that grow by the river and in the valley, with delicious taste and fragrance. Not only does it have high edible value, but it is also said to have peculiar medicinal value, and it has certain curative effects on colds and fevers, gastrointestinal discomfort, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
The sheep's hoof and sheep's head soup is made with broth for boiling finger meat, with some haggis added and some wild mushrooms, which makes it even more delicious.
In particular, the thick plum porridge is made of wild fruit thick plums and relatively sour cheese, which tastes very sweet and sour, which can not only help digestion, but also promote appetite and make these old men eat with a great appetite.
Old Man Wu even shouted for Ling Zikai to bring some wine, and complained: "Ling boy, the guests are here, you can't even drink wine, this is not the way of hospitality!"
Considering the bodies of several old men, Ling Zikai asked Du Juan to bring milk wine.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Wu shook his head again and again and said, "No, give Lao Tzu a bottle of two pots." Drinking wine and eating these finger meats at the same time, that's what a pleasure it is! Ling boy, if you let my old man get over it today, the matter of building a sanatorium will be wrapped up in me, otherwise- hmph, you know the consequences. ”
Looking at Old Man Wu's scoundrel appearance, Ling Zikai couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Presumably, because of health reasons, this old man is usually strictly controlled from drinking. Now, in order to be able to get through alcohol addiction, he even threatens the matter of the sanatorium.
The old man next to him had a good relationship with Old Man Wu, so he said, "Old Man Wu, you don't want to die." You've had two surgeries on your heart, and the doctor forbids you to drink. Don't be greedy for a momentary addiction, what will happen when the time comes, in this mountain, even the gods will not have time to come and save you. ”
Old man Wu said a little stupidly when he heard this: "Damn, after living all my life, seeing that there are not a few days left, but you still want to quit this and that, can't you let Lao Tzu live happily for a while before he dies!"
Looking at Old Man Wu's dejected face, Ling Zikai's heart moved, and he said, "Old man, forget about these two pots." I have a few bottles of homegrown wine here, and drinking it has some health benefits, so why don't I give you a try?"
Old Man Wu's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "You kid is not authentic, why are you still hiding good things, go and get them!"
Ling Zikai smiled, got up and walked out of the restaurant.
When I came to the lake house, I took out a wooden box, which when opened, contained six bottles of brandy from France.
White Brandy is a famous liquor that is popular in Europe, although it is made from fruit and distilled through fermentation, it is a strong liquor, and the alcohol content in it is higher than that of those low-alcohol liquors.
This box was brought back by Ling Zikai from Hong Kong Island this time, and it was originally a gift for Uncle Bol. But after Uncle Boer drank a bottle, he said that he was not used to this taste, so he asked Ling Zikai to keep it for himself.
If you really give this wine to Old Man Wu to drink, it is actually no different from drinking Erguotou, and Ling Zikai will not joke about the old man's health.
After Ling Zikai took out a bottle of brandy, he did not leave immediately, but found an empty glass bottle filled with juice.
After cleaning the bottle, Ling Zikai opened the brandy and poured the amber liquor inside into the empty bottle.
After filling a bottle, Ling Zikai injected another stream of ancestral god energy into it.
He believed that with the combination of the magical function of the ancestral god's energy, even if Old Man Wu drank the entire bottle of wine, it would not cause any harm to his body.
The reason why the bottle was changed was just to hide people's eyes.
Grab the modified brandy and head back to the restaurant.
Old Man Wu had been waiting a little impatiently, and before Ling Zikai could open the bottle, he had already snatched it away, poured a small cup into a cup, and then couldn't wait to raise his glass and take a sip.
When pouring out the liquor, everyone judged from the strong aroma of the liquor that it was a high-concentration spirit, and they all looked at Old Man Wu with some concern, for fear that after he drank it, his body would be in condition.
Old Man Sun glared at Ling Zikai with displeased eyes, obviously blaming him for not knowing the importance of doing things when he was young, knowing that Old Wu Tou couldn't drink, why did he bring this strong wine for him to drink, if something happened, please, can you bear this responsibility.
Even Old Man Ye showed a vague worry at this moment.
Even if he has a prejudice against Ling Zikai, if something happens to Old Man Wu, Ling Zikai will definitely not be able to escape responsibility, and there will be no good end, so there is no need to find him by himself.
However, he and Old Man Wu have been comrades-in-arms for decades, although they have a lot of grudges with each other, but at this age, some things have long been seen.
Seeing the comrades-in-arms around him leave one after another, sometimes it is inevitable to feel a sense of sadness. At this time, he would not gloat at Old Man Wu's accident.
As an old comrade who is tested in the end, the old man still has this kind of mind.
Facing everyone's skeptical gaze, Ling Zikai still maintained a calm appearance.
After Old Man Wu swallowed a sip of wine, he only felt a hot burning heat pass through his throat, and this long-lost feeling made him can't help but let out a kind of joyful reverie. A flash of red light suddenly appeared on his fair face, and a burst of heat came from his body, and he obviously felt his heart start to beat faster.
Damn, is Lao Tzu really unrelated to wine in this life!
Feeling a faint discomfort in his body, Old Man Wu secretly sighed.
Just when he felt lost, the liquor that had already fallen into his stomach suddenly exuded an incomparably cool breath, which spread to every corner of his body at once, not only extinguishing the heat just caused, but also forcibly suppressing the heartbeat that began to accelerate.
Old Man Wu sighed in surprise, feeling that he suddenly became refreshed.
He looked at the glass of wine in his hand, and showed a look of disbelief, suddenly raised his head, drank the small half of the glass of wine, and then closed his eyes, and carefully felt the sensation that had just appeared.
After coming over for a while, Old Man Wu opened his eyes, and his eyes burst out with amazing brilliance, and then he laughed: "Good wine!
In the midst of laughter, Old Man Wu reached over the bottle on the table, wanting to pour out another cup and drink it happily.
"Old Wu Tou, just enjoy it, you really want to drink happily!"
The old man next to him said and reached out to snatch the bottle from his hand.
As if he was under great threat, Old Man Wu suddenly tucked the wine bottle in his arms and shouted, "None of you are allowed to snatch this wine from Lao Tzu." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ling Zikai with smiling eyes, and said, "Ling boy, how many of these wines do you still hide?
Also, as long as you brew it in the future, I will want all the wine! You can open it on any condition! Of course, if you buy it with money, Lao Tzu can't give much.
Otherwise, don't be the owner of this forest farm, why don't you become a soldier, Lao Tzu can let you enter the army and get a company commander to play, I can still do that little thing!"
Seeing that Old Man Wu seemed to have picked up a terrible treasure, he hid the wine bottle tightly in his arms. And in order to be able to get here, he even made a wish to Ling Zikai for the first time, and everyone felt that something was wrong with this, and suddenly focused all their eyes on the bottle of wine, and a thought popped up in their hearts:
Could it be that there is some secret hidden in this wine?
