"Tell you all I know." Wang Guoqiang said cheerfully.
"I heard Da Zhuang say that if the village holds a wedding banquet or something, he will invite a person named Uncle Wang, and what I want to ask is how well he cooks." Lin Xiao organized the next speech.
"Oh, you said him, his real name is Wang Zhi, and I are of the same generation, and he has nothing to say about the cooking, and he is the most authentic master in our ten miles and eight villages here." Wang Guoqiang replied.
"Does Kobayashi want to hire him? I advise you to go for this idea. Wang Guoqiang saw that Lin Xiao was thinking deeply and looked uncertain, so he continued.
"Oh? Here's why. Lin Xiao said questioningly.
"It's not a secret, as early as 1o years ago, Wang Zhi went out, it seems that he went to participate in a cooking competition, won the first place, at that time, there were many hotels that heard the wind and wanted to invite him to the hotel as a chef, but Wang Zhi refused all, so that these hotels returned in vain, I don't know what the reason is, he is more withdrawn, basically doesn't talk much, I understand very one-sided." Wang Guoqiang recalled the memories in his mind.
"At that time, it was a sensation, the hotel was driven by a car, then we rarely saw a car, especially a car, the people in the village ran out to look around the car, and the people in the scared car did not dare to get down, and then the old village chief at that time coaxed the crowd of onlookers." Wang Guoqiang was silent in his memories.
"All the people in the village envy Wang Zhi and think that he will go out and don't have to stay in this small mountain village anymore. At that time, I remember very clearly that a hotel manager said that Wang Zhi was a strange person, and he had master-level cooking skills in middle age, and there were not many in the country. Wang Guoqiang continued.
Lin Xiao had been listening quietly, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a big man hidden in the village.
"Xiaolin made you laugh, when people are old, they can't come out if they fall into memories." Wang Guoqiang smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Where, I'm also fascinated by listening." Lin Xiao smiled and said.
"Xiaolin, do you still want to ask Wang Zhi to go out of the mountain to you?" Wang Guoqiang saw Lin Xiao's expression and knew that Lin Xiao had not dispelled his thoughts.
"Well, I want to try." Lin Xiao nodded.
"Okay, Wang Zhi's home is in the innermost part of the village, this road goes straight to the end, and the one who backs the mountain is." Wang Guoqiang pointed out the way to Wang Zhi's house.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang, then I'll take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
………………
Lin Xiao walked in the direction pointed by Wang Guoqiang, and soon came to the destination, which was easy to identify.
This is a courtyard house, and the surrounding walls are covered with plants, which makes it look bleak in spring. The door was closed, and Lin Xiao stepped forward and gently pushed the door open. From the rollers connecting the gate, there is a 'click', 'click' and 'click' sound.
"Whoever?" There was a voice in the room.
Lin Xiao walked in, the huge yard was full of melons, fruits and vegetables, and as far as the eye could see, cabbage, green beans, loofahs, cabbages, tomatoes, etc., were full of green plants, leaving only a small path for people to walk, and the whole yard couldn't even fit a chair.
A middle-aged man in a black tunic with meticulous combed hair and a stern expression came out of the room.
"Hello, are you Mr. Wang Zhi?" Lin Xiao said politely.
"Yes." Wang Zhi nodded.
Lin Xiao doesn't look at Wang Zhi like a chef, if you go out and tell others that he is in the officialdom, people will think that he is more reliable than a chef.
"I heard Village Chief Wang say that you used to be a famous chef, so I thought."
"I know what you mean, but I'm not prepared for that." Before Lin Xiao could finish speaking, Wang Zhi directly interrupted him.
'What a weirdo. Lin Xiao glanced at Wang Zhi a few times, and said secretly in his heart.
"I want to know why, can you easily reveal it?" Lin Xiao said calmly, not at all annoyed by Wang Zhi's interruption.
"It's inconvenient." Wang Zhi said emotionlessly.
"That's really disturbing, let me introduce myself first, my name is Lin Xiao, I am the owner of the farm not far from the village, I want to invite a chef, the village chief said that you have won awards before, and said that your cooking skills have reached the master level." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Seeing that Wang Zhi didn't answer, Lin Xiao was not anxious, the next contact, Lin Xiao was also mentally prepared, a person who was at least a master, would not be so easy to invite, Lin Xiao decided to take another path.
"Excuse me, do you have a kitchen here?" Lin Xiao spoke again.
"Absolutely." Wang Zhi looked at Lin Xiao with an expression of nonsense.
"I want to make a dish for you to taste, I don't know if it's an honor." Lin Xiao smiled, completely ignoring Wang Zhi's difficulties.
Wang Zhi had a little more interest on his face, a little more playfulness in his eyes, and nodded and said, "There." Pointing to a room.
"Wait a minute." Lin Xiao saw that Wang Zhi agreed, and walked happily towards the room that Wang Zhi pointed to.
"It's not a chef's kitchen." After Lin Xiao entered, he sighed. Now the kitchen should have everything, from the big bone chopping knife to the small scaling knife, several sets of knives are placed neatly and naturally.
When he opened the refrigerator and saw that there were green peppers and meat in it, Lin Xiao was ready to make a home-cooked dish, stir-fried meat with green peppers.
Turn on the gas, pour oil into a hot pan, cut the green peppers, throw away all the seeds inside, leave the green pepper skin, cut the meat slices, after processing, pour the meat slices into the pot and stir-fry, and pour in the green peppers when they are medium cooked, Lin Xiao only put a little salt, continue to stir-fry, and when he saw that it was almost over, Lin Xiao added space water and simmered slowly.
Ten minutes later, this stir-fried meat with green peppers came out of the pot, took a plate and put it on, picked up the plate Lin Xiao smelled the fragrance fiercely, and was self-intoxicated.
Lin Xiao took the plate, walked to Wang Zhi and said, "Please taste it." ”
Wang Zhi picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the meat slice and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly. Lin Xiao carefully observed Wang Zhi's expression, Wang Zhiyan's face was still the same, and people couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow. After Wang Zhi swallowed the slices of meat, he didn't say anything, and continued to pick up a piece of green pepper and put it in his mouth.
After eating, Wang Zhi put down his chopsticks and stared at Lin Xiao with his eyes. Lin Xiao's scalp was itchy by him, and he didn't know what Wang Zhi meant.
"How did it come out, the meat slices were cut irregularly, which completely destroyed the texture of the meat, but the taste was not lost at all, all the gravy was trivialized in it, and so was the green pepper, the green pepper was completely integrated with the meat, with a little less bitterness and a little more sweetness." Finally, Wang Zhi spoke.
