Chapter 126: Delicious Stir-fried Greens
"Ergou, you will have to go to the town to buy some vegetables later, it is estimated that your Uncle De will bring a few members of the village to our house for dinner in the evening, we have to prepare, we can't let people come without wine and food, your Uncle De is our close relative, there is no problem, the other members are a little far away from our family, and we can't let people find fault with it."
After Yun Changda left, Wang Mei thought about it and said to Yun Tao.
"Zhilu said, Mom, I'll go grocery shopping now, and I'll cook the dishes on this table in the afternoon." Yun Tao thought about it and said to his mother.
"Do you cook a business?"
Wang Mei looked at Yun Tao with some suspicion and said, in Wang Mei's impression, her son doesn't seem to have been in the kitchen many times, and at most he will cook a powder and eat it.
"Mom, I'll show you a hand right now."
Yun Tao saw that his mother doubted his cooking skills, so he opened his mouth and said, after all, nothing is convincing with facts.
"Okay, you can show Niang Lu a hand."
Wang Mei said with some interest that her son is so confident, she wants to see how good his cooking skills are.
"Mom, there are still any dishes at home that haven't been cooked." Yun Tao asked.
"There's nothing left at home that hasn't been cooked, so why don't you go to the backyard and pick some greens." Wang Mei thought for a while and said, all the dishes she bought just now were burned by herself.
"Okay, I'll go to the backyard and pick some greens and make you a 'fried greens', Mom, the taste is absolutely so good that you will be surprised."
After Yuntao finished speaking, he ran to the backyard without waiting for Wang Mei to say anything, anyway, in his own backyard, where to grow vegetables. Yuntao was very clear.
"This kid. So confident. I really want to see what kind of delicious flavor he can make the greens, and I hope it doesn't make a fuss. Wang Mei looked at Yuntao's back and muttered to herself.
Yuntao picked about two plates of vegetables, one plate is specially made for his mother to eat, one plate is ready to be used to entertain guests at night, after picking the vegetables back to the house, Yuntao said hello to his mother, and went into the kitchen to be busy, Yuntao's kitchen and living room (dining room) are only separated by a door. The area is about a dozen square meters, which is not small or large in the countryside, and there are few suites in the city that have such a large kitchen.
"Ding-dong-......" Yuntao entered the kitchen and began to get busy, and bursts of stir-fry sounds with a strong sense of rhythm came out of the kitchen, Wang Mei listened quietly, and had to be sure that her baby could stir-fry, just the rhythm of this stir-frying, even her own rural housewife who had been cooking home-cooked for decades could not compare.
And the sound of the stir-fried vegetables is also very good, and the sound of the oil and vegetables mixing and stirring is so beautiful. is so appetizing, so that Wang Mei, who has just eaten a full meal. Now I feel hungry and want to eat a few bites of food.
Soon a strange smell came out of the kitchen, Wang Mei suddenly felt as if she had never smelled such a fragrant dish in her life, it was simply intoxicating, Wang Mei couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva.
"It's too fragrant, isn't it?"
Wang Mei blushed a little and said to herself, people in their fifties, they were so caught by the smell of fried vegetables that they drooled, and they didn't have the face to go to meet people.
Wang Mei couldn't sit still, she wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to take a look, to see how her baby fried this green vegetable, the voice was good, the taste was so fragrant, so tempting.
However, to Wang Mei's disappointment, as soon as she arrived at the kitchen door, Yuntao opened the kitchen door and walked out with a plate with fried vegetables on it.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Yun Tao asked a little strangely as he looked at his mother standing at the kitchen door.
"This is the green vegetables you fry?"
Wang Mei didn't answer Yun Tao's question, but just pointed to the vegetables on the plate and asked in shock.
I saw that on the white porcelain plate, there were more than a dozen green vegetables, which looked green and green, particularly attractive, just like jadeite, particularly good-looking, but in addition to the green vegetables in the plate, there were no such common ingredients, not even a green onion leaf. "yes, how's that, right?"
Yun Tao happily said to Wang Mei, who was stupidly looking at the plate of fried vegetables in his hand.
"It looks good, it smells good, I don't know what it tastes like?" Wang Mei said with some suspicion.
"Hehe, Mom, don't you know the Tao when you taste it?"
Yun Tao said with a smile to his mother, Yun Tao is very confident in his own skills, and the cooking skills that make the masters of Cantonese cuisine sigh at themselves are not as good as the cooking, are you still afraid of the mother's inspection!
"What do you say, I have to taste my son's stir-fried greens."
Wang Mei picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in her mouth. "Ahh This taste, too... It's so delicious! Is this really greens? As soon as Wang Mei took a bite, it was as if she had been struck by lightning, and her face was full of sluggish expressions.
In the mouth, this green-looking green vegetable immediately has a sweetness that is unique to green vegetables, which is extremely crisp and does not have a little jerky taste.
After enjoying the crispness of the teeth, a delicious soup suddenly emanated from the greens, hitting Wang Mei's taste buds fiercely, chewing a mouthful of greens, suddenly full of aroma, straight to the heart and spleen, people's spirits should be lifted, followed by appetite! This kind of taste, with the fresh breath of nature in the early morning, also has the fragrance of the earth, which makes people intoxicated, dispel distracting thoughts, and return to nature.
After a green vegetable was in her stomach, Wang Mei's whole mind just felt delicious and had no other thoughts, and after a while, the chopsticks flew like flying, and in a blink of an eye, half of the green vegetables were eaten by Wang Mei.
"Whew... It's delicious, Ergou... I didn't expect your fried vegetables to taste so good, the chefs in those restaurants are not as good as you, is this also what the 'old fairy' taught you? ”
After eating more than half of the green vegetables on the plate, Wang Mei asked Yun Tao who was holding the plate vaguely with the green vegetables in her mouth.
"Mom, you eat slowly, no one robs you, and this cooking skill is also taught to me by the 'old fairy'."
Yuntao can only push this cooking skill to the old monk, who made him a famous "old fairy" in dozens of nearby towns and towns, and there will be a lot of incredible skills.
"No wonder, only the 'old fairy' can cook like this, and can make such a taste that is difficult to find in the world, stir-fried vegetables, and the taste is so good."
Wang Mei said with emotion, in Wang Mei's opinion, any incredible thing, as long as it is related to the old monk, Wang Mei will feel normal, it can be seen that this old monk is really being regarded as a "living immortal" by people nearby.
"Mom, this fried greens, but I made it, not the "old fairy" made it. ”
Yun Tao said a little depressed, this fried vegetables are made by themselves, and they are definitely not made by the dead old monk, whether the old monk can make such delicious fried vegetables, Yun Tao doubts.
"That's not what the 'old fairy' taught you, otherwise, would you kid know how to cook!" Wang Mei said.
"Yes, yes, you're right, these skills were taught to me by the "old fairy", otherwise I wouldn't be able to cook. ”
Yuntao had no choice but to follow his mother's words, otherwise he might be nagged by her for a long time.
"It's good if you understand, in the future, during the New Year's Festival, our whole family will worship in front of the grave of the 'old god', otherwise how can you have such skills, let's know how to repay it."
Wang Mei said seriously, people in the countryside especially look at this kindness, if people don't know how to repay their kindness, they are not as good as animals.
"Mom, I know that I couldn't often worship the 'old fairy' outside, but if I stay at home in the future, I will definitely go to worship him often."
Yun Tao said that Yun Tao also felt that it was necessary to often worship the old monk, after all, he was now his nominal master, and he carried so many black pots for himself, and he should worship him.
Besides, in the future, if someone checks on himself and sees that he often comes to worship the old monk, he will no longer doubt whether he is really a disciple of the old monk, and his biggest secret "happiness system" will not be exposed.
"That's right, you have to know how to repay your kindness, okay, don't talk about this, since your cooking skills are so high, then this meal will be ready for you in the evening."
Wang Mei said, now Wang Mei is very confident in Yuntao's cooking skills, not to mention anything else, just this fried green vegetable, in our village, absolutely no one can copy such a delicious taste.
"Okay, Mom, I'll drive to the town to buy vegetables now, and if it's too late, I'm worried that the vegetable market will be closed."
Yuntao said to his mother, after all, the vegetable market in his town closes the stalls relatively early at noon, and he can't buy a lot of vegetables later.
"Okay, you go quickly, go early and come back early."
Wang Mei took Yun Tao's hand with a small half plate of green vegetables, and after putting a green vegetable in her mouth, she said to Yun Tao, now Wang Mei is most worried about the plate of green vegetables in her hand.
"Oh, then I'm leaving."
Yun Tao glanced at his mother, who was now focused on the plate of vegetables, smiled, and went out to drive to the town.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Changda came to Yun Tao's house with five guests. Yuntao and his mother, who had received a call from his father, had already been prepared, so Yuntao also specially drove a battery car to the small supermarket in the township to buy six Chinese cigarettes, and they couldn't do anything without tobacco and alcohol in Huaxia.
"Yo, our college students are back."
Yun Changde, the village chief who walked into the courtyard, saw Yun Tao's eyes lit up, this kid is different from before, he looks much more energetic than in two years.
"Uncle, Uncle Wu, Uncle Xu, Fifth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, come into the house and sit down."
Yun Tao shouted to this group of people, these people are his elders, and Yun Tao basically knows them. His eldest uncle, Yun Changde, is the head of the village, and he has been the village chief for two terms in the village.
Uncle Wu's name is Wu Quan, Uncle Xu's name is Xu Yuan, they are all one of the few people with foreign surnames in the village, Uncle Wu is the village party secretary in the village, and Uncle Xu is the accountant in the village.
Yun Tao's fifth and seventh uncles are named Yun Changhong and Yun Changming respectively, and they are all members of the village committee. (To be continued......)
