"Where does that fragrance come from?" Liu Mang was stumped again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He walked out of the house and walked around the garden, looking for answers, but found nothing.

"It's strange that the vegetable garden here is not planted with spices that can be used in vegetables, Angelica Angelica, cinnamon, grass fruit, bay leaves?。。。。。 It's not like it. ”

"Brother Lu, if you think about it again, can you recall what your aunt put in this dish back then?" Liu Mang asked without giving up.

"Sorry, I can't really remember. Lu Yitian then thought for a while and shook his head.

"Boss, I think forget it, it's been so long, the ghost remembers what was put there. Do you think they're all like you, what kind of dish will be cooked after reading it? Now this fried bee chrysalis is good, send it to the old man, maybe he will be able to jump out of bed as soon as he smells it!" Five-eyed sneakily leaned over and muttered in Liu Mang's ear.

Liu Mang still shook his head, squatted down, picked up a branch, and gestured on the ground.

"Brother Lu, how long did it take for my aunt to cook this dish in the past?" Liu Mang squatted on the ground for a while, and suddenly asked out loud.

"Well, it won't take long, an hour at most. Lu Yitian recalled.

"Can't you be more precise about the time?"

"You make me think about it... Lu Yitian scratched his head and suddenly screamed.

"Yes! I remember one time when I went with my father to get a bee chrysalis. When I came back, I cleaned my mother and served it to the table in half an hour! Yes, I remember correctly, I was only in junior high school at that time, and my family happened to buy a TV, and I counted the time and waited to watch "Journey to the West" at half past six!

"Half an hour?" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, picked up the branch again, and drew a circle on the ground.

"Xiao Wu, come and take a look. ”

"What's wrong, boss? Have you found a way?"

"Half an hour, excluding the frying time, is a maximum of ten minutes. Liu Mang pointed to a point in the circle on the ground: "Look, this is where we are, with this as the radius, how far can we go in ten minutes? ”

"In other words, the mysterious ingredients put in the fried bee chrysalis are within two hundred meters of this room?!" Five eyes suddenly realized.

"That's right, let's look for it according to this distance and range, and we will definitely find it!" Liu Mang stood up and said confidently.

Actually, I want to taste what that bee chrysalis tastes like. ”

"I'll help too. I'm familiar with this one. Lu Yitian also walked over.

"That's fine, we'll go in one direction by ourselves, and after we've walked two hundred meters, we'll gather in one direction. Note: As long as it is a special plant, you must tear it off and look at it, and you must be careful. Liu Mang admonished.

The three of them scattered and began to search carefully according to Liu Mangjiao's method.

Except for a dirt road leading to the village in front of the house, the rest of the house is covered with dense mountain forests.

Liu Mang's eyes widened, and he thought about the various ingredients that could emit a special aroma recorded in the "Food Treasures" in his mind, and touched it forward.

"No! It's still not right!" Some suspicious plants were ripped off by Liu Mang, put them under his nose and smelled them, and they were immediately vetoed.

The distance of two hundred meters was quickly completed by him, but he still didn't find that kind of mysterious ingredients, Liu Mang's heart was a little anxious, and now he could only see if Lu Yitian and Wuyan had gained anything.

Soon, the three of them gathered together, Lu Yitian was empty-handed, and helplessly stretched out his hand towards Liu Mang, signaling that he had not found it.

Wuyan was holding a large handful in his hand, and Liu Mang took it and distinguished it all the same.

"No! not yet!" Liu Mang became a little irritable, these were some ordinary weeds and wild flowers that Five Eyes had found, and they were not the kind of mysterious ingredients he wanted at all.

Just when he was about to despair, a breeze blew, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

The fragrance was very faint, but Liu Mang's extraordinary sense of smell could still be smelled.

Liu Mang became excited, and the whole person lay on the five-eyed body, twitching his nose and sniffing.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Seeing Liu Mang like this, Wuyan couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't move! I seem to smell something!" Liu Mang pressed him.

After sniffing carefully for a while, Liu Mang found the source of the fragrance in the gap of a button on the cuffs of the five eyes—half a small purple petal was hanging on it.

"This flower, boss, don't you want me to find a suspicious plant? There are so many of them over there, so big, I didn't pay attention. Five-Eyes replied.

Liu Mang didn't speak, just twisted the petals between his fingers, and then sent them to Lu Yitian's nose for him to smell carefully.

"Is that it?"

"Yes! That's it!" Lu Yitian jumped up with joy like a child!

"Sure enough, it's thyme! It's also called ground pepper and thyme! Not only does it smell unique, but it also has a hint of sweetness. Generally, it is only in the sx Inner Mongolia area, but I didn't expect it to grow so much here. Liu Mang was also happy.

"Then what are you waiting for? I'll pick some!" When Five-Eyes heard this, he ran away, and immediately took back a large handful.

"The materials are all ready, and we can finally complete this thyme fried bee pupa!" Liu Mang let out a long breath, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Fresh thyme chopped and mixed with pureed hawthorn meat, egg wash and flour to make a paste.

After cleaning, the bee pupae are slightly marinated with a little salt for a while, mixed with the adjusted batter, and fried in seven or eight hot vegetable oils.

"It's not wrong this time! It's this fragrance, this is the fried bee chrysalis that my mother used to make!" Lu Yitian rubbed his eyes, and his eyes were moist.

The bee pupae with a golden appearance and a snow-white heart are piled up into a hill in a pottery plate, and Liu Mang picks one up and puts it in his mouth to taste carefully.

The sweetness of the thyme ingredient and the acidity of the hawthorn combine to make the mouth revel. Combined with the delicate and smooth flesh of the Ueno bee pupa, there is still an aftertaste under the three smacks.

"Let's go, go and give the old man a taste!" Liu Mang ignored the five-eyed straight eyes and handed the whole plate of fried bee chrysalis to Lu Yitian's hand.

Gently pushing open the door of the wing, Lu Yitian walked in.

The old man lying on the bed, smelling the fragrance of fried bee chrysalis, his body trembled slightly, his mouth made a muffled sound, and he struggled as if he wanted to sit up.

Liu Mang, who was standing outside the door, was overjoyed, it seems that there is really a drama this time!

Lu Yitian hurriedly put the bee chrysalis in his hand on the table, stuffed a pillow behind the old man, and helped him sit up.

"Dad, try it, this is your favorite fried bee chrysalis. Lu Yitian picked up a bee chrysalis and sent it to the old man's mouth.

The old man hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to take it, chewed it a few times, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Dad, do you still want to eat?" Lu Yitian's excited voice trembled, and he picked up a bee chrysalis again and sent it into the old man's mouth.

When the old man finished chewing, two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, and they crisscrossed his ravine-covered face.

"Xiu'er, I miss you so much。。。。。 ”

"Dad!!"

Lu Yitian's father and son hugged each other and cried together.

At this moment, Liu Mang, who was outside the door, suddenly understood the meaning of the existence of the profession of chef, and this meaning made him feel real happiness.

It turns out that food is meant to bring happiness to people.

"Boss, I think now that there's nothing wrong with being a chef. Five eyes took off his glasses and wiped them, and said faintly.

"Oh, do you want to learn? Then I'll teach you. ”
