ps: Thank you for the 1oo coin reward from the May classmates, Xiaohua is very excited to make persistent efforts, and hopes to have more friends to support.

"Elena, it's getting late now, let's rest here. "Back at home, put the ATV in the garage, it was already dark, Zeng Gong said to Elena.

"But my flower shop hasn't closed yet?" said Elena, who had never spent the night at a boy's house since she was a child.

"You can tell your good friend to take care of it, you see it's too late now, the road is dangerous, I don't worry about you going back alone, not to mention that you have to watch the transfer of cattle tomorrow." Zeng Gong looked at the night and said sternly.

Elena was also a little moved when she heard this, the rebellion in her bones made her full of yearning for not returning at night, and she was always ready to challenge, otherwise she would not have left the bustling city to escape from her parents' sight, and ran her own small flower shop in Livingston Town, a small place but special warmth, and a special life of fulfillment.

"You see that my ingredients are ready, how about staying and tasting authentic Chinese food?" Zeng Gong saw Elena's appearance, and continued to persuade while the iron was hot.

"Chinese food, I've eaten it in New York, and the sweet and sour taste is not bad. Elena starry eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, then wrinkled her cute nose and finally said with some disappointment: Chinese food is far worse than French food, and even inferior to Japanese food. ”

"Who said that?" Zeng Gong's face turned pale, and then said proudly: "I don't know if Chinese food is better than French food, but is Japanese food still called a dish, Ru Mao blood drinking food, or is it convenience food, how can it compare with the breadth and profundity of Chinese cuisine, in addition to the eight major cuisines of Sichuan, Shandong, Suzhou, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hui, there are countless snacks and local cuisines, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dishes, no one can say. ”

"Oh God, China is incredible, you can't eat so many dishes in a lifetime. Elena covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had heard something more surprising than the North Underworld and the sea of flowers.

"Of course, China has inherited thousands of years of culture, and food culture is a part of Chinese culture, and the Chinese food you eat is not real Chinese food at all, but is improved according to the taste of Americans. Zeng Gong nodded, although he has now become an authentic old beauty, he still has a fiery Chinese heart in his bones, probably because Xu Shu is in Cao Ying's heart is in Han.

"Then I can't wait. Elena was a little excited, her eyes showing yearning.

Zeng Gong nodded, pointed to the remote control and said, "You can watch TV for a while, the dish will be ready immediately, and it is guaranteed to surprise you." ”

Seeing Zeng Gong walk into the kitchen with a few whitebait in a plastic bag, Elena wanted to follow her, but this Chinese food is a thing of two worlds for her, and she doesn't know where to start, so she has to watch TV shows boringly to play boring time.

Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted from the direction of the kitchen, domineering her sense of smell, as if the fragrance of lemon was mixed with the rich aroma of chicken.

"Chicken, lemon, what's going on?" Elena was itching in her heart, and she couldn't wait to step into the kitchen to see what Zeng Gong was doing, this smell was so bullying that it simply subverted her cognition, would two things that were opposite to each other collide together?

She couldn't let Elena think, and immediately there was a strange smell in her nose, filled with the smell of the sea, and the salty smell of the sea breeze confused her sense of smell, was it king crab or lobster, oyster? No, there was a smell of rivers in it, and Elena suddenly realized that her knowledge was too lacking, and finally she could only give up in despair and look in the direction of the kitchen.

One after another strange scents, Elena felt that she was going to be numb, she had long lost the heart to enjoy the programs on TV, and her heart had already flown to the kitchen.

"Elena, you can come in. Zeng Gong stuck his head out of the kitchen and shouted at Elena.

Hearing this, Elena immediately jumped up from the sand and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen, eager to see the dishes made by Zeng Gong, the smell was already intoxicating.

Seeing Elena come in, Zeng Gong said with some embarrassment: "The conditions are a little simple, just make a few dishes, let's make do with it." ”

"Zeng, are these dishes still simple?" said Elena in surprise, pointing to the dishes on the table, incredulously. "Do you Chinese eat a lot of food every day?"

Zeng Gong shook his head, "That's not it, I remember when I was a child, I could make do with my own pickled mustard greens or bean paste, and every time I entertained guests, I would sit on a table of sumptuous dishes to entertain guests, but now it's just four dishes and one soup, and it's really a bit out of place." ”

"No, no, yes, we can't finish these dishes, do you want to invite Sanders and the others?" said Elena with some sorrow.

Zeng Gong said embarrassedly when he heard this: "I still think it's a little little, if I let go of my belly and eat, I can eat half of the calf." ”

Since practicing martial arts, Zeng Gong feels that his food is getting bigger and bigger, and his qi and blood are getting more and more vigorous, no wonder there is a saying in ancient times that poor literature and rich martial arts say that practicing martial arts must maintain their vigorous qi and blood, otherwise they will die young like some martial artists.

"Oh my God. Elena looked at Zeng Gong in surprise, this is so surprising, King David.

"Hehe, let's eat, I'll introduce you to the first course, Xiangxi Fruit Chicken, which is completely cooked with lemon and chicken, without any seasoning. He had long been accustomed to Elena's expression, and pointed to the Xiangxi fruit chicken on the table.

This is a special dish from an ordinary minority village in Xiangxi, once Zeng Gong's drunkard master went there in order to learn the brewing method of authentic monkey wine, and was shocked when he saw this dish, and used the old wine on his body to change to the method of making zuò.

"Well, it's so delicious, there is no greasy feeling of chicken at all, the aroma of chicken mixed with the fragrance of lemon, perfectly blended together, fresh and refreshing, it is incredible, there is no seasoning taste at all. Elena took a clumsy sip with her chopsticks, and her blue eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

Seeing that Elena successfully sandwiched a piece of chicken Zeng Gong was completely relieved, he was still a little afraid that Elena would not be able to use chopsticks, seeing that Elena liked it, he was even more excited to introduce the second dish": This is the representative dish of Chinese Huaiyang cuisine - squirrel mandarin fish, how about you taste it, I have already treated the spines of mandarin fish with a special method, you don't have to worry. ”

"Delicious. Elena couldn't stop nodding, the white fish melted in her mouth, and this sweet and sour dish was especially to her taste.

"This is a stewed crab roe lion's head, which is a famous dish of Huaiyang cuisine like squirrel mandarin fish, which is very much in line with your taste. Zeng Gong pointed to the third course and said.

It was too difficult for Elena to clip the lion's head without a spoon, so she had to wait for Zeng Gong to introduce the fourth dish, and endured the water in her mouth.

Zeng Gong did not hesitate, pointed to the fourth dish and said proudly: "This is my own Ming Sanjiang sea stew." ”

I haven't heard of it, Elena waited for Zeng Gong's answer with wide eyes.

Looking at this dish, Zeng Gong suddenly fell into a distant memory.
