Chapter 54: Monkey Wine (I)

"Master Silence, it's time to eat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Liu Mang and Wuyan set up a small square table in the middle of the courtyard and brought the prepared dishes.

"Huh, old ghost, are you willing to take a bath today?" Wu Jing called out strangely.

Taking advantage of Liu Mang's time to cook, he took a shower without saying a word, changed his sheepskin jacket, and put on a coarse linen coat.

Although his beard was unshaven and his hair was wet and sticking to his head, it was much better than when I first met him. At least I don't have that disgusting stench.

"It's rare to have a good meal, of course, to be formal, do you like to sit in the toilet and eat?"

"I'm an ancestor of you! You old ghost, I don't know why these two babies want to learn from you! Since I met you, I haven't eaten a serious meal you've ever made, and every day is a nest with pickles, and you are embarrassed to say that you have ever worked as a chef?"

"You fool, you can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat?" scolded without a smile, picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Liu Mang noticed that he was holding the chopsticks with his left hand, and his right hand had been placed under the table, it seemed that this silent master was still left-handed.

"Yes, this slice of meat is good. Bu Yu nodded: "Good means that your basic skills are not bad, and the heat is just right, but there is still a lack of skills in this aspect of thickening." You probably haven't studied with a teacher and taught yourself on your own, right?"

"The master is right, when I was a child, my family opened a restaurant, and I grew up in the kitchen. But when I grew up, I explored it on my own, and I didn't worship a formal master. ”

"Being able to learn this level on your own means that your talent is not bad, and you have worked hard. ”

Buyu picked up chopsticks and knocked on the table: "There are three cooking skills." One is talent, the second is hard work, and the third is inheritance. ”

"But... It's a pity... It's a pity..."Speaking of this, he changed his words: "Cooking is not like a teacher's class, you can learn it by explaining it orally." In many cases, you have to rely on the master's hand-to-hand teaching and rehearsing over and over again to appreciate the essence. If you had met me in the early years, I would have been fine, but now I can't cook. ”

"Huh, why is that?" Liu Mang asked strangely.

"Why, I drank too much wine and got chicken feet crazy!" Wu Jing, who had a pig's tail stuffed in her mouth, giggled.

Silence put up his right hand, which was hidden under the table. His hands were shaking involuntarily without strength.

"Parkinson?" Liu Mang and Five Eyes shouted at the same time.

"It's not just Parkinson's. Bu Yu smiled bitterly: "My sense of taste has also deteriorated a lot. Now let alone cooking, I can't even tell the difference between salty and light. ”

"No, I see that all kinds of spices and tools are well prepared in the kitchen, why don't you prepare the dishes so properly?"

"Hey!" sighed silently: "I've been a chef for most of my life, and there are always some things that I can't give up." If you can't do it, it's good to look at it every day, don't you allow a chef to take a look at the past eventful years?"

After speaking, he drank without saying a word, and his expression looked very low.

"Lewdness?" "Five eyes, who were burying their heads in eating, suddenly burst into laughter like a psychopath.

"What's the matter with you?" Liu Mang frowned.

"Boss! It's so funny!" Five-Eyed laughed and couldn't stop laughing.

"You think, it's actually not bad to have this disease, at least the physical problem can be solved by itself. ”

"What physiological problems?"

"Do you want to... Do you want to..."Five Eyes forced a forced laughter, forming a circle with his right hand, and the index finger of his left hand reached in and swayed up and down.

"Airplane cup with its own vibration! How cool!haha!"

I was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and immediately reacted. Furious, he picked up the bench and smashed it.

"I'll kill you bastard!"

But the five eyes had already prepared and avoided it from afar. The two of them chased and fled, and circled around the courtyard wall.

Liu Mang patted his head speechlessly: "This living treasure!"

……

Early the next morning.

"Boss, are you sure we're going?" Five Eyes carried a big black cauldron on his back, with a bitter look on his face.

"It's not because of you!" Liu Mang's eyes glared: "Not only made fun of others, but also drank up his wine." ”

"Yes, yes. Wu Jing fanned the flames on the side: "As far as you drink the most, were you a wine barrel in your last life? One altar is not enough, you have to drink three altars, and most of the Buddha's inventory has been drunk!"

"Don't look at who stole the wine!" The five eyes rolled their eyes, and they were very angry.

"Wu Jing, is it really difficult to get that monkey wine this time?" asked Liu Mang.

Although he said that he couldn't teach Liu Mang anymore, Liu Mang was still determined to stay.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to practice, but you can teach it orally.

Liu Mang believes that with his own talent, as long as someone helps him pierce a layer of window paper a little, the rest of his self can slowly figure it out.

But the silence made the five eyes angry, and Wu Jing stole all his wine again, so he temporarily changed the hexagram. said that if Liu Mang wanted to learn to cook with him, unless he went to Shaogong Mountain to get him some monkey wine, otherwise everything would not be discussed.

Wild monkeys collect mountain fruits, pile them up, and the bottom fruits are squeezed and cracked by the upper layers to produce a pulp. At the same time, the upper layer of fruit blocks the oxygen in the air, causing the pulp to react with wild yeast that adheres to the skin of the fruit.

In the mountains and forests, apes can make wine, and there are many accounts in the notes of the ancients.

Li Rihua, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in "Pengqi Night Talk": There are many apes in Huangshan, and the miscellaneous flowers and fruits are picked in the stone depression in spring and summer, brewed into wine, the aroma is overflowing, and the smell is hundreds of steps. Those who go deep into the wild wood may have to steal it, not more, more is to reduce the wine marks, feel it, and all the people will serve people, and they will die.

This kind of wine is hard to come by, and even if you know where it is, will the monkey let you get it easily?

"It's not just difficult, it's impossible!" Wu Jing vetoed: "There are thousands of monkeys in the Shaogong Mountain, large and small, and you can't stand it if you scratch you." I think the old ghost is deliberately making things difficult for you, so that you can retreat. ”

"If you haven't tried, how do you know. Liu Mang froze.

He has the confidence to say this. The "Food Treasures" records how to make this wine. But at the same time, it also shows that the danger factor of taking this wine is extremely high, and it is best not to try it lightly if you are not prepared properly.

Liu Mang climbed the steep mountain road to the depths of the dense forest, walked for more than an hour, and had already walked to the depths of Shaogong Mountain, where the mountains are high and dense, and the natural scenery of primeval forests is everywhere.

"Let's talk about it first, I'm only responsible for leading the way, but I won't help. Walking to the forest under a mountain cliff, Wu Jing stopped and declared.

"Then do you want to drink?" the five-eyed mouth pursed.

"Drink, when you are chased by the monkey and jump, don't blame the Buddha for not reminding you. ”

"I still don't believe it, how can a few yellow-haired beasts drop Uncle Ben?" the five eyes sneered, quite a bit confused.

"Amitabha! Buddha bless!" Wu Jing sang a Buddha horn and pushed his five eyes: "The monkeys are in front, go!"

ps: The second shift, and one more at night.
