Chapter 48 Roasted sea cucumber with green onions

Zhou Xin knew that Zhong Huan could talk eloquently in front of his father and grandfather, and he was very envious of his peers. Because his goal since childhood is to surpass his ancestors and make the hotel bigger and stronger, even if he can't surpass, at least he must sit on an equal footing and not embarrass his predecessors. At present, he is still learning from his grandfather and father, and is trying to follow the footsteps of his predecessors, but Zhong Huan has reached the level of being equal to his father and grandfather, how can this not make Zhou Xin's eyes red? That's why he had the idea of worshipping a master as a teacher.

Zhong Huan was taken aback by Zhou Xin's thought, his master is self-written and directed, where can he let others worship. So I could only say politely: "Zhou Xin, your father still expects you to inherit the hotel, what are you going to learn from my master?" He doesn't know how to run a hotel. ”

"It doesn't matter what you learn, I think your master is a special cow 13. By the way, what does he usually teach you? Growing vegetables? ”

Zhou Xin said that it was also a whim to apprentice. Listening to Zhong Huan, he also came back to his senses and felt that it was most important for him to inherit the family business.

"I don't know how to grow vegetables. Actually, Master and I studied Kung Fu. ”

Zhong Huan's level of vegetable cultivation is not as good as Peng Lei, if he dares to say that he learns to grow vegetables, Old Man Zhou will reveal his stuffing as soon as he asks, it is better to say something more profound.

"That's not better than growing vegetables.13 Do you think I can learn? Zhou Xin was not interested in growing vegetables, but as soon as he heard that he could learn kung fu, he was also motivated.

"This ...... Learning Kung Fu is to pay attention to the root bones, do you see that you can do this posture? ”

Zhong Huan said as he propped up the chair handle with both hands, his buttocks hung up, his legs were naturally stretched flat, and he made a standard parallel bar support posture. He figured out that Zhou Xin couldn't do it, and deliberately let him retreat.

"Uh~ I think it's better to forget it. Zhong Huan, you are so powerful, can you beat the special forces? ”

Zhou Xin looked down at his stomach and knew that he didn't need to try, but he was curious about how powerful Zhong Huan was.

"That must be ...... Can't beat it. I haven't been apprenticed for a long time, and I haven't officially studied art yet. Didn't you see that Master asked me to sell fruit first? Zhong Huan has a bit of a martial arts background, but he doesn't dare to brag nonsense.

"I know that. Any martial arts master of Niu 13 will not easily accept apprentices, so he must first let his apprentices do miscellaneous work and examine his heart. Carrying water and chopping firewood for two or three years before you can officially get started. That's how it was played in "Laoshan Taoist". Is this the case for you? Zhou Xin asked.

"Probably. It may also be that the master sees that I am too poor and wants to teach me how to make money first. The ancients said that there is a certain truth in saying that the poor are rich in literature and martial arts. A wealthy person who has learned martial arts will most likely think about doing chivalry and righteousness, rather than making money by performing arts. When the poor learn a martial art, they will first think about how to fill their stomachs with this skill. It's good to make money from performing arts, and it's not impossible to rob houses. No one who is a master wants to teach a thief apprentice, so it is also very important to teach the poor apprentice the ability to make money. ”

Zhou Xin has watched cartoons, Zhong Huan has also read martial arts novels, and the two of them will see who can fool.

"Makes sense! In this way, your master is really a master. Could he be the legendary internal force? Zhou Xin asked curiously.

"You said it was a legend, but of course it wouldn't. However, I think I will be able to do it with power skills such as inch strength. ”

Zhong Huan didn't know if there was such a thing as internal force, so he naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense. He and Zhou Xin have to go to school together for several years, if Zhou Xin asks him to perform his internal skills in a few years, then he will be blind.

"You two boys will talk later, let's eat first."

Just when Zhong Huan and Zhou Xinkan were lively, Old Man Zhou had already prepared a meal and served it on the table. The aroma of the food makes people appetite increase when they smell it.

Zhong Huan washed his hands and sat down at the table, and found that the dishes on this table were mainly made of vegetables he brought. Compared with the meal Zhong Huan ate at Zhou's house last time, although this meal has more vegetables and less meat, the fragrance is more gluttonous.

"It smells so good! Grandpa Zhou's craftsmanship is simply amazing. ”

Zhong Huan also uses the vegetables of Ten Thousand Beasts Gu at home, but he definitely can't make this taste.

"Hehe~ It's still your master's vegetables. You taste it, it's more fragrant than meat. Old Man Zhou said with a smile.

"Then you're welcome."

Zhong Huan had long wanted to taste the good dishes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu with the good cooking skills of the old man last week. As he spoke, he picked up a chopstick and scallion roasted sea cucumber. The sea cucumber had no fishy smell in the mouth, but a shallot fragrance soaked in the mouth, and the soft and fragrant taste made Zhong Huan almost swallow his tongue together.

"Delicious! There's nothing to say about the taste. Zhong Huan praised.

"Silly boy! They all tell you that the food is more fragrant than the meat, why do you still eat sea cucumbers? For this dish you should try the green onions. Zhou Hongda said with a smile on the side.

"Huh? Is it? Then I'll try it again. ”

Zhong Huan was a little puzzled when he heard Zhou Hongda finish speaking, can green onions be better than sea cucumbers? But when he looked at Zhou Xin next to him, he saw that his chopsticks were like having eyes, picking vegetables and eating them, and he didn't clip a piece of meat. Zhong Huan doesn't look like a vegetarian when he looks at his body, is it true that the dishes on this table are better than meat?

With doubts, Zhong Huan picked up another green onion. The white and tender shallots, which are fatter than ordinary green onions, are wrapped in a deep red sauce, reflecting an oily luster, like a sea cucumber with no thorns on the surface. Zhong Huan put the green onion in his mouth, and the umami of the sea cucumber that penetrated the sauce spread, which made Zhong Huan feel like he was not eating green onions, as if he was still eating sea cucumbers.

When Zhong Huan chewed the green onion twice, he immediately understood why Zhou Xin only ate vegetables. This green onion is really better than sea cucumber. The original spicy taste of the green onion can no longer be eaten at this time, the outer layer of the green onion segment is a fresh sea cucumber flavor, the inner layer is a rich green onion fragrance, and the delicate part of the green onion heart melts in the mouth, and you can taste a hint of sweetness. There are several taste changes in a section of green onions, which is indeed more evocative than the single taste of sea cucumbers.

"How? Did you taste something? Zhou Ruixuan asked with a smile when he saw Zhong Huan chewing carefully.

"It's delicious! It's simply delicious. ”

Zhong Huan felt that he could no longer describe the delicious taste in words, and could only say that it was the best thing he had ever tasted.

"Thanks to you and your master. If it weren't for the good food you brought, I wouldn't have been able to make this taste. When you go back, you must thank your Master for me, and thank Him for the vegetables and seeds he gave me. I promise that after I grow this dish, we will eat it ourselves, and I will never use it to make a profit and sell it for money, and I will not spread it. ”

Zhou Ruixuan thought that Zhong Huan could bring these vegetables and seeds, and he must have been approved by his master. Although Zhong Huan didn't say that these dishes can't be passed on, Zhou Ruixuan still feels that these dishes should not be used for commercial purposes. Because doing so is equivalent to using Master Zhong Huan's experimental results for free to make profits for himself, which is no different from piracy, and it is really not a gentleman's doing.

Although Zhong Huan didn't care much about whether Old Man Zhou was a rumor, he was still very happy to hear him say this. After all, the fruits and vegetables produced by the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu are also Zhong Huan's patented products.

"These seeds are naturally best if Grandpa Zhou doesn't pass them on. If the planting is successful, it can be placed in the hotel as a signature dish. However, I heard from Master that these vegetables may not be easy to grow. He also wanted to gather some information about other people's plantings. Can Grandpa Zhou give me feedback on the results of planting, and I can also go to the master to deal with it. ”

Zhong Huan has already regarded the Zhou family as another test base after Xiaohe Village. He also wanted to know what the result of the transplantation of the crops in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu was.

"Absolutely! When I'm done eating, I'll go and plant the seeds. ”

Old Man Zhou was overjoyed when he heard that Zhong Huan agreed to him to use these vegetables as the hotel's signature dish. With this super delicious special vegetable as a signboard, the hotel's business is not prosperous. This kind of unique secret recipe, even if Zhong Huan asks him to pass it on, he will definitely not pass it on.

"Grandpa Zhou, don't worry. It's all autumn, and the seeds are not good to live, right? ”

Zhong Huan learned some common sense of growing vegetables from Peng Lei. The seeds he gave to Peng Lei, Peng Lei's family only planted part of them, and the rest may not be planted until next spring. Zhong Huan was afraid that Old Man Zhou would be eager to succeed, but he would waste seeds.

"Zhong Huan, you only saw the vegetables grown in my front yard. I didn't know that I had a vegetable greenhouse in my backyard. There is no distinction between spring, summer, autumn and winter, and vegetables can be grown all year round. Zhou Xin stopped his chopsticks and said.

"That's amazing! Then I'll visit it later. ”

After Zhong Huan finished eating the best meal he had ever eaten in his life, he went to the greenhouse with Old Man Zhou. He really didn't expect that the Zhou family's vegetable planting equipment was more complete than Peng Lei's family, and he didn't know who was a local tyrant and who was a farmer in these two families. But after he finished visiting the greenhouse of the Zhou family, he knew why Peng Lei's family didn't have this thing.

Zhou's sunshine panel intelligent greenhouse is not only equipped with heating and air conditioning, but also computer monitoring system, automatic control system, internal and external sunshade system and other facilities, and the construction cost is definitely not low. Even for professional vegetable growers, it will take several years to recoup the cost of building such a greenhouse. There is really no need to build this kind of smart greenhouse on a self-reserved land like Peng Lei's house.

After taking a turn in the greenhouse, I listened to Mr. Zhou proudly introduce the high-level equipment in the greenhouse, and the time was not early. Zhong Huan was just about to say goodbye and go home, but his mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Brother Xiao Huan, where are you? Why haven't you gone home yet? Zhong Huan accidentally touched the speakerphone button when he picked up the phone, and Chu Xiaoxue's voice came from the phone.

"Brother Xiao Huan, who is calling? It can't be a sister-in-law, right? Zhou Xin heard a girl's voice on the phone, and immediately gossiped, learning Chu Xiaoxue's name and began to tease Zhong Huan.

"Don't make a fuss! This is my sister. "Zhong Huan really has no problem with Zhou Xin's self-acquaintance. After saying a word to him, he said to Chu Xiaoxue: "I was a guest at a friend's house." Can I help you? Light snow. ”

"Which friend? It doesn't seem to be Peng Lei. ”

Chu Xiaoxue also heard Zhou Xin's voice on the other end of the phone, which sounded very unfamiliar to her, and the honest Peng Lei would not make such jokes.
