Chapter 171: A Rare Delicacy
As soon as Cao Anbang's words fell, the chopsticks in Xiao Ping's hand had already stretched out. He had already pinched the chopsticks in his hand, waiting for the old man's words.
"Hey, you kid is treacherous enough, you have been prepared!" Cao Anbang, who was preempted by Xiao Ping, muttered dissatisfiedly, snatched the chopsticks from Sun Lin's hand and stretched them out to the plate.
Xiao Ping ignored Cao Anbang's words, and had already sandwiched a piece of steamed saury and put it in his mouth. The steamed fish was just right, smooth and tender, and the taste was extremely beautiful, which made Xiao Ping involuntarily squint his eyes and praise loudly in a vague voice: "It's delicious!"
This is not that Xiao Ping deliberately Bo Cao Anbang's sycophants, but because his cooking skills are really good. Xiao Ping had also tasted the saury he raised before, and although he thought it tasted really good, it was definitely not as delicious as the one he ate today. It can be seen that if you want to enjoy delicious food, it is not enough to have good ingredients, and the skill of the chef is also very important.
Before Xiao Ping could swallow the fish in his mouth, the chopsticks had already stretched out again. Seeing that he was so unkind, Cao Anbang hurriedly screamed and started to speak, the ingredients grown by Xiao Ping and Cao Anbang's craftsmanship can be called a perfect combination, even the most ordinary fried vegetables have become a supreme delicacy.
Xiao Ping and Cao Anbang didn't care about talking at all, and devoured the dishes on the table, like a storm and clouds, and it didn't take long to eat a few dishes, and there was nothing left except the fish bones on the knife fish plate. Although Sun Lin was also accompanying him, he didn't have the courage to grab food with the master, so he only put down a few chopsticks to taste it from beginning to end, and didn't eat a few bites.
"Whew...... Seeing that there was nothing to eat, Xiao Ping threw down his chopsticks and sighed with satisfaction: "Old man, your craftsmanship is so good, this is the best dish I have ever tasted!"
Cao Anbang also nodded again and again: "Yes, it tastes really good, young man, these ingredients of yours are really different, my old man appreciates it very much!"
Xiao Ping and Cao Anbang are used to eating all kinds of ingredients produced in the farm, and the other has a masterful cooking skill, so both of them have very good tastes. But today, these two factors came together, and the delicious taste of the dishes finally shocked both of them.
Cao Anbang's words made Xiao Ping's eyes light up, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Old man, I didn't hear that the chef said that you have retired, why don't you go to my farm to live for a while to relax?" The air there is good and the environment is good, you can choose all kinds of ingredients, you can eat whatever you want every day, not to mention how comfortable it is in those days." ”
Xiao Ping sincerely invited Cao Anbang to live in the farm for a few days. The identity of the old man is too special, and if he can go, the farm is definitely the best advertisement, which is enough to shock the culinary world across the country. What's more, Cao Anbang's cooking skills are really good, Xiao Ping felt like he was hungry again when he thought of being able to eat the food he cooked in the future.
It's a pity that Cao Anbang didn't agree to Xiao Ping. The old man looked a little crazy, but in fact he was a good person, he looked Xiao Ping up and down, and after a while, he smiled and said: "You have a good wishful thinking, you want to trick my old man into cooking for you for free?"
Xiao Ping knew what Cao Anbang had done before, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, but he just sighed in disappointment: "Hey, I kindly invited you old man, don't think of me so badly." ”
"What are you kid thinking I can't see?" Don't pretend!" Cao Anbang laughed: "I just retired, and I'm going to go around the country to see how those few apprentices who don't make it are doing, and by the way, taste the delicious food from all over the country, and wait for me to visit the whole country, and if your kid's farm is not closed, my old man will go to live with you for a while." ”
Cao Anbang said this, which is equivalent to promising Xiao Ping that he will go back to the farm as a guest in the future. Being able to invite a person of this level also made Xiao Ping very happy, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, I'll wait for you at the farm!"
"Hehe, the young man is very good!" Xiao Ping's attitude also made Cao Anbang very satisfied, and praised him with a smile.
It was only at this time that Sun Lin found an opportunity to interject and stepped forward to ask Cao Anbang a few questions about cooking. Cao Anbang still took good care of his apprentices and patiently answered Sun Lin's questions. However, Xiao Ping had no interest in the issues they discussed, such as "over-oiling" and "thickening", and he almost fell asleep after listening to them for a while.
Just when Xiao Ping was in a daze, Cao Anbang suddenly patted him and said, "Xiao Xiao, I'm leaving, let's see you later!"
Xiao Ping, who was surprised, hurriedly asked, "Are you leaving so soon?"
Cao Anbang said freely: "The apprentice has also seen it, the dishes have been cooked, and the saury has also been tasted, why are you still staying here? Xiaolinzi is also very busy, I will stay and ask him to be distracted to greet him, it is better to leave early, and catch the train to the provincial capital." ”
Seeing the old man's resolute attitude, Xiao Ping volunteered: "Then I'll send you to the train station, anyway, I have a car, it's convenient." ”
"Okay!" Cao Anbang was not hypocritical, and immediately said to Sun Lin: "Xiao Linzi, you are busy with your own." Let Xiao Ping take me to the train station, and I'll go to the provincial capital to see the sixth child!"
Sun Lin really sent Cao Anbang in person, but he also knew that Master Lu Dao had a temper that he couldn't tell, and after a little hesitation, he said to Xiao Ping: "Then trouble you, Xiao Xiao." ”
"It's okay, Old Man Cao invited me to such a delicious meal, and it should be sent to his old man's house. Xiao Ping smiled at Sun Lin, and then said to Cao Anbang: "Old man, let's go, do you have any luggage or something?"
Cao Anbang waved his hand and said: "It's troublesome to bring those things, I have always run around empty-handed, as long as I have money in my pocket!"
In this case, Xiao Ping didn't say much, and asked Cao Anbang to get into his pickup truck and drive directly to the train station. However, the car had only been driving far away, and Xiao Ping suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Cao Anbang's opinion: "Old man Cao, you like to eat saury so much, why don't you go to the farm with me, and I will get a few more for you to take to the provincial capital?"
Cao Anbang was also moved by Xiao Ping's enthusiasm, and said to him with a smile: "Young man, when you reach my age, you will know the Tao, no matter how delicious things are, if you eat them every day, you will get tired of eating." I'm already very satisfied with having a live saury today, and I can't be insatiable and think about the next meal. What's more, the live saury is already dead when it is brought to the provincial capital, and this thing must be eaten fresh, so let's wait until the next time I go to the farm. ”
Cao Anbang's words made Xiao Ping thoughtful. He quickly sent Cao Anbang to the train station, and also diligently bought the train ticket and sent the old man directly to the platform.
Before getting on the train, Cao Anbang carefully took out a small metal box and handed it to Xiao Pingdao: "Xiao Xiao, we hit it off at first sight, and I can't get any meeting gifts, this year's Longjing tea is not bad, you can take it and taste it." I'm going to get in the car, we'll see you later!"
