Chapter 266: An Unacceptable Delicacy
Perhaps this is a bit difficult for Americans to accept.
"What is one night, have you ever heard of salted duck eggs? That thing is going to be left out for a month, and there is stinky tofu, which is to be eaten cold, you are really rare and weird. Gao Xi felt that these old beauties were really uninformed, Chinese food was so strange, he Gao Xi had never seen one-tenth of it, and Tracy probably saw even less, so it was no wonder that he was so surprised.
"Oh no, tell me it's not true, it's horrible, don't say it, I'm going to throw up." Tracy really couldn't understand what Gao Xi said about the salted duck eggs that were eaten for a month, or the stinky tofu that could only be eaten if she was stinky and smelly, I just don't know if she knew that the pickled pepper and phoenix feet she had eaten before were also things that had been put for several days, she would have spit them out directly.
Forget it, let's not talk about it, so as not to be embarrassed.
Gao Xi shook his head secretly, and decided not to do such a prank, it seems that it is really not good to bully people like that.
"You Americans, you are too dogmatic, you only believe in the so-called scientific data, but you don't believe in human experience. But you know, with just a little human ability, how much scientific data can be studied? I wonder if all the scientific data is one-sided. It's like some things, today they say that they are good for the body and can be eaten, and tomorrow they say that they have found some harmful substances that are harmful to the human body and cannot be eaten, and then after a while they overturn their own arguments, this kind of scientific research is simply a toss. I can't stand it, if you don't eat it, forget it, it's really too much of a loss. ”
Gao Xi thought to himself that if he really used scientific data to study stinky tofu and salted duck eggs, he would not eat these two foods, so he decided not to continue talking about this topic, and it would not be his specialty to continue talking.
He only likes to eat, but he doesn't like to study food, he is a foodie. But not a gourmet.
"Maybe you're right, but that's what I've been taught since I was a child, and it's not like I can't eat that kind of thing if you let me eat that kind of thing. It's just that my stomach may not be able to accept it. But what is the name of the pot of vegetables you gave us today, it is really delicious? Tracy quickly changed the subject, presumably not wanting to delve further into the topic.
"Oh, it's called Mao Cai, but it's actually a very simple dish. I'm afraid you won't get used to eating chili peppers. So I made three fresh ones, and I didn't put chili noodles. Do you think it tastes good? ”
"Well, it's not just good, so many different dishes are gathered in the same pot of vegetables, and every time you eat something, you will feel a different taste, and that feeling is like looking at jewelry in a dazzling jewelry store, which is so enjoyable." Tracy said excitedly, "If it's convenient, can you tell me how that Mao Cai is made?" ”
Gao Xi didn't know how to say Mao Cai in English, so he directly used pinyin instead. So when Tracy said to him, he also used pinyin, anyway, he just knew what it was.
"What's inconvenient about this, if I have time, I'll ask my sister to write down the production method, while she is still in the United States, let her teach you how to make it, if you learn it, you can often make it for yourself." Gao Xi said with a smile.
Tracy's words reminded Gao Xi, although Gao Yuanyuan's cooking is not authentic, but after all, it is also a cooking dish. And it tastes pretty good, now Gao Yuanyuan may be going back to China, before she returns to China, Gao Xi feels that she really has to learn how to make this steamed vegetable quickly. Combined with some methods on the Internet to innovate yourself, I wonder if I can make more delicious dishes.
After all, when he was in school in the provincial capital of Sichuanzhou, he went to school for four years and worked for a few years. Every day, almost a dish of steamed vegetables is indispensable, and he has eaten experience, and whether it tastes good or not, his tongue will tell him his own.
Tracy said happily: "This is really good, when I went out with my friends, they asked everyone to cook the same dish, but I don't like to be the same as others, if I learn this cooking, it will definitely open their eyes, great, I just don't know how to learn?" ”
Gao Xi smiled and said: "Easy to learn, the most important thing about this cooking is the soup, in fact, if you want to learn, you can also play it yourself, the soup can be made into the taste you like to eat, and what to eat the food, you can also choose what you like, this dish has a very high degree of freedom, in one word to describe it is DIY!" ”
"It's great to be able to DIY, I like the dishes I can research and create, it's too boring to be old-fashioned, I don't like it." Tracy clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Okay, Lord West, you continue to guard your overnight tea eggs, I'm going to get busy." ”
"It's not tea eggs, it's tea eggs, oh my God."
It happened that Gao Yuanyuan walked out at this time, and when she heard Gao Xi sighing there, she asked, "Brother, what kind of emotion did you suddenly feel?" ”
"Alas, don't mention it, Tracy said that our tea eggs are raw eggs from tea leaves, and said that they will spoil after one night. I GAVE HIM THE EXAMPLES OF SALTED DUCK EGGS AND STINKY TOFU, AND SHE COULDN'T HOLD IT ANYMORE, AND EVEN SAID THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO EAT IT. However, she was very satisfied with Mao Cai, and said that several other cowboys also like to eat it, and they want to learn from Yuanyuan. ”
"Hahaha, this old beauty is really interesting. I don't even dare to eat tea eggs, if it's my turn to eat preserved eggs and salted duck eggs? Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing and said: "But if she wants to learn how to cook with me, then she has to get ready quickly, I'm going back to China soon, do you know this brother?" ”
"I told her, you write down the recipe first, teach me, I'll teach her again, if you go back and I want to eat it, then you can make it yourself." Why haven't you seen our mother? Gossey asked.
"Coax the child to go, Jiejie should have woken up and was crying in the room." Gao Yuanyuan sighed and said, "This kid has been sullen lately, probably because he heard that he was going home, and said that he was reluctant to leave his uncle, and he was reluctant to leave Bobby and Hermione." ”
"There's no way, there is no banquet in the world, Jiejie and Haohao always have to face these. When they left those friends in China, they didn't cry a lot, children, they quickly adapted to it. Gao Xi said with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be an education expert, brother, I really underestimated you. If you have time, I'll teach you how to cook vegetables tomorrow, but this is not something that can be learned in a while, so you can figure it out for yourself. I'm just thinking, if you want to find it in the future, let's find a Chinese to be my sister-in-law, otherwise I won't dare to eat anything, then it will be troublesome. "Gao Yuanyuan is really more and more like Gao Xi's mother now, maybe she really thinks that Gao Xi's brother is a little old, and she wants to find a daughter-in-law for Gao Xi and a sister-in-law for her.
"It doesn't matter. Even if you are Chinese, you may not be accustomed to eating Chinese food, you are like me, you can't eat folded ear roots, can't eat salted duck eggs, let alone preserved eggs and that kind of slimy stinky tofu, and I don't eat animal offal, I believe that there are not a few Chinese similar to me, so this aspect is not a problem. Gaucy shrugged.
"Okay, good, brother, what you said makes sense. I actually don't care if you find me a foreign sister-in-law or a Chinese sister-in-law, as long as it's a woman, hehe. Gao Yuanyuan grinned.
"You stinky girl, you can't be beaten."
"Who is going to beat my daughter, if you have a sister, it will hurt, you see that now in our China, there are many families with one child, no brother, no sister, no brother, no sister, how lonely it is, you have a sister and still have to fight?" Gao Xi's mother walked out of the door, touched her waist and said.
Gao Xi hurriedly went up to support his mother and rubbed her waist.
"Mom, do you have back pain again?"
"No, I guess I'm too tired, Jiejie, this child, I don't want to go back, I persuaded her for a long time, and ate something, and now I'm finally watching TV obediently." Gao Xi's mother sighed and said: "Yuanyuan, if you want me to say, let Jiejie stay in the United States, studying in the United States is the same, there is nothing wrong, besides, this is a developed country, maybe the quality of education is higher." ”
Gao Xi helped his mother sit on the chair, rubbed her shoulders, and said: "I mean the same thing, but Yuanyuan also has her own difficulties, let's not be embarrassed for her, she is now the daughter of two families, and she can't be too much towards us." ”
"Brother still knows my suffering." Gao Yuanyuan made tea for Gao Xi and Gao Xi's mother, and then said helplessly: "Zhao Ming's relatives are not easy to fool, now girls are much more valuable than before, Jiejie is a heart and liver baby for them, you think, if Jiejie stays in the United States, they will not be easy to see, after all, China and the United States are still separated by the Pacific Ocean, everyone's family is not rich, if you really come to the United States, you can't afford to spend that money." ”
"That's true, but I don't think those relatives who are a little farther away don't care too much, if Zhao Ming's parents oppose it, just take them over and live, your brother has such a big place here, can't there be a place for them to live? It's really not okay to build another house next to this. Gao Xi's mother sighed, but still said with some reluctance.
"Besides, it's you, Mom, just stay here with my dad, it's not interesting to go back, let's not say that it's so tiring to fly, if you stay here, you can also help my brother a lot." My brother is lazy now, not as diligent as before, and he doesn't want to do many things by himself, you two elders are here, you can also keep an eye on him and marry his wife. ”
Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Gao Xi secretly, and said with a grin, this is to burn Gao Xi's body. (To be continued.) )
