"Okay, these peaches, brother will share half of you." Zhou Yi looked at Zhang Chutian's eyes full of eagerness and eagerness, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, it's so cold, let's go to the house to drink a bowl of hot soup first." ”

In Zhou Yi's house, the first floor is very empty, and there is nothing left, just a carpet, a large case, a few low stools, chairs, and some pillows and quilt cushions, just like Japanese-style tatami mats.

The two took off their shoes and entered the house, and Zhou Yi closed the door. The light shines through the transparent glass windows on the roof, and the warm light of the electric lights does not dim it.

"Heh—you're going to enjoy it." Zhang Chutian entered the hall, reclined on the carpet, leaned on the low table, stretched his waist, and said.

"Brother is rich now, of course you have to enjoy it, otherwise what are you doing with the money?"

Zhou Yi turned on the TV and went to the kitchen to work.

After a while, a large pot came out, which was full of blue-green soup, the fragrance of tea leaves, and the mellow fragrance of grains, mixed together, and the fragrance filled the room; The steaming heat rose out, dispelling the last chill of the world.

"What is this?"

"Tea, have you heard of it? Our specialty here. In fact, he said that it was a specialty, but he was not entirely right, because in the surrounding areas, many counties and cities have tea, and they all say that it is a specialty; In the distance, in the Hakka people, there is also a similar existence called tea.

"Tea?" Zhang Chutian took the bowl, looked at the green powder-powder floating on it, smelled the rich and fresh tea fragrance, and knew that the green color was tea leaves. He took a small spoon and stirred it gently in the soup, scooping out the dregs from the bottom, and saw the boiled rice and peanuts and bright yellow crystal corn.

He took a sip gently, the entrance was slightly salty and fresh, and the mouth was full of tea fragrance, much fresher and fragrant than the water brewed from ordinary tea leaves; Before the fragrance of tea has passed, the sweetness of the rice has come up, faint, but lingering; When the soup falls and the "stone comes out", the tea soup and rice soup sink into the depths of the cave ruins with the sinking of the soup, turning into a warm liquid, turning in the stomach bag, dispelling the cool autumn and winter, and the whole person is also comfortable, just like making a big sauna, full of comfort; I chewed the corn and peanut grains that were washed by the soup, the peanuts were soft and refreshing, and the tongue was gently dissolved on the tip of the tongue, turning into a puddle of muddy water, wrapping the tip of the tongue and mouth, and escaping the original taste of peanuts; The corn was chewed gently, like a small bomb, the elastic bright yellow skin could not withstand the squeeze from the internal and external double pressure, and exploded in an instant, the juice splashed all over the mouth, the sweetness and fragrance of the corn, at this moment, unstoppable filled the entire mouth, and overflowed strongly from the mouth, filling the room with fresh sweetness.

At this time, Zhang Chucai dared to gently exhale a breath of white gas, and spit out the aroma of cereals that had been wrapped for a long time, and the whole person relaxed.

"How? Still eating? ”

"It's cool!" Zhang Chutian said, and scooped another sip of tea into his mouth.

Zhou Yi has seen a lot of people who eat tea, some are local, some are from other places, and some are even from abroad, but to sum up, there are no more than two categories: one type of people don't like to eat such a "mixture" very much, and feel dispensable, but they are not very repulsive, and under the enthusiasm of the villagers, they can barely eat a bowl or two; Another type of person falls in love with this thing at first sight, and after eating, it is out of control, and they must eat seven or eight bowls in a row, and eat until the soup in their stomachs is swaying and their stomachs are round, which is enjoyable.

Zhang Chutian is undoubtedly the second type of person.

It is said that it is "tea", naturally tea soup accounts for more, probably the soup is boiling juice, occupying the stomach, and not filling the stomach, seven or eight bowls in a row, until the stomach is difficult to bear, Zhang Chutian then gave up.

"I didn't know there was such a good thing to eat!" Zhang Chutian touched his stomach, still unsatisfied, looking at the full pot of tea soup, sighing stupidly.

"How?" For a foodie, they are curious about every part of a food, such as the raw materials made and the method, etc. For big foodies, seeing a delicacy, if you can go home and make it yourself, there is nothing like that satisfaction.

Zhou Yi took out a clay cone with a downward tip and a wooden pestle from the kitchen.

"See? This - stick - stick is called a mallet, made of wood from the mountain. Zhou Yi pointed to the pottery below and said, "This is called a bowl." ”

Zhang Chutian looked at the hammer, then at the bowl, looked at the trough road in the bowl that was as thin as annual rings, and suddenly said: "Is it just to pour rice or something, break it, and cook it?" ”

"Pretty much." The method is very simple, that is, to throw things into a bowl and then cook them, but in fact, because of the different wood used in the hammer, the difference in personal techniques, the difference in how much is added, the difference in heat control and the subtle changes brought by the material, different people, the tea made is completely two tastes, the difference is so big, anyone can eat the difference.

The rice is thick, the tea is fragrant, the peanuts are raw and cooked, and the secret of the tea is basically in it.

Tea is like afternoon tea in some places - not just some soup, but also many things to go with, such as pickled cucumbers, pickled radish, sour beans, pickled garlic, and all kinds of snacks made from sweet potatoes, peanuts, melon seeds, fried rice, and so on.

Locally, these things are collectively called feasts.

Eat a slice of sour radish, and you can eat two more bowls of tea; When you are full of tea, eat some melon seeds, peanuts, sweet potato chips, talk and chat, rest for a while, your stomach is empty, add some fried rice to the bowl, pour a bowl of tea, and drink a full meal to quench your thirst......

……

After eating tea in the afternoon, I felt that my stomach was bulging and swollen, as if it was completely full, but when it was time for dinner, I found that at some point, my stomach had been emptied, and I was cooing again, and I was screaming more joyfully and rhythmically than usual.

A fat guy like Zhang Chutian couldn't stand the hunger, so he ran down from the upper floor and ran to the big kitchen.

In the kitchen, the fat crab has been steamed on the fire, the eel roasted cucumber soup has been out of the pot, and a garlic eggplant has been put on the table.

"It smells so good!" Zhang Chutian couldn't bear to be hungry, stole two chopsticks, sneakily touched the eggplant, and without saying much, a full bowl of eggplant was evenly cut off.

"Zhou Yi, hurry up, let's eat!" He was a little full, and diligently put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, loosened the rice in the rice cooker, and put it into the rice bowl.

Zhou Yi heard the shouting, and felt that the things in the steamer were almost there, and they were neatly stacked into the big bowl, and they were brought out with stacks of condiments.

"Wow - and crabs! It's so hearty! ”

Before Zhou Yiren got out of the kitchen, a fat shadow ran out, grabbed a ripe crab, screamed over and over again, and ran to the side of the case.

By the time Zhou Yi was on the table, this guy had already picked up the crab and took the yellow, and he was very happy to eat.

"This crab is good, where did you buy it? I'm going to get some too. Zhang Chutian muttered while eating.

"If you raise it at home, you should think it's good, and when you leave, bring some back."

Zhang Chutian was stunned when he heard him say that he raised it himself, "Your grapes are very famous; I've seen peaches, and they're definitely no worse than the best, most high-grade batch; But it's all planting, and it's normal to say that you have talent and good soil strength, but what's going on with this crab? ”

Zhang Chutian's two fat eyes looked at Zhou Yiman's body hard, as if he wanted to find out what was different from human beings, until Zhou Yi was seen by him with his whole body standing upside down, and then said: "Brother, you are not good, you have covered all the things that make money in the world, what are I going to do with the little fart?!" ”

"Damn, I can't stop your mouth if I have something to eat!" Zhou Yi scolded with a smile.

Zhang Chutian felt a little fishy in his mouth, looked at the light bowl of cucumber roasted eel soup, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and soon, all the astringency was diluted, leaving only a fresh mouthful.

Little did he know that cucumbers and eels could go so well. The cucumber was soft, the eel had been stripped of its bone spurs, and only a piece of boiled braised flesh remained, which melted in his mouth and turned into a mouthful full of fresh juice.

"No, no, buddy, or you'll forget it...... Zhang Chutian covered his stomach again, and a big lump of more and more mellow was lying on the ground, moaning, screaming, looking at the table full of dishes, still muttering unrelentingly......
