Chapter 9: The Lying Pleurotus eryngii.

When the oyster mushroom "uh-huh", the tone was rippling, and Ash thought that she was more similar to the character of tomato and shallots, so he acquiesced to the other party's consent.

When the oil in the pot was boiled, she first threw the minced green onion and ginger into the pot, and there was a "whoosh-" sound, and the green onion was fragrant all over the room. Then Ash poured in the oyster mushrooms and stir-fried, drizzled with light soy sauce on top, and added the bell peppers.

The mushroom aroma and green onion fragrance are intertwined, the raw soy sauce is flavorful, and the bell pepper is slightly pungent, which is not pungent but hooks people's taste buds.

Ash stir-fried, waiting for the oyster mushrooms to speak, because of the experience of the previous two times, she trusted the ingredients.

However, many seconds after exceeding her expected time, Pleurotus eryngii was still sulking.

She asked uneasily: "A-Xing, it's not ripe yet?" ”

After about three seconds, Oyster mushrooms slowly spoke, "Ah, sorry! It seems like I was cooked more than ten seconds ago, but the oil was so smoky that I forgot to open my mouth when I was so drunk on it. ”

Ash turned off the heat almost immediately, frowning at the pot of oyster mushrooms, with mixed emotions in his heart.

There is not only the anger of being deceived, but also a trace of confusion of being played, and mixed with the self-blame of blind trust.

She realized that she had been overlooking a problem, that the ingredients could speak, and that she could hear them, but that they weren't necessarily telling the truth.

Maybe they are also the same as human beings, with different personalities, some telling the truth and some telling lies, and she also needs to distinguish between them!

"Ding-Hidden Function Trigger!" She was thinking about it when the food system suddenly touched again.

Ash came back to his senses, and the system continued to prompt: "Please check it in time." ”

She didn't check it right away, but first put the king oyster mushrooms in the pot into the prepared bell pepper cup, and only after closing the lid did she click on the food system.

Without hesitation, click directly into the "Hidden Function Bar", which is a prompt:

"You've unlocked new skills and can see how loyal and reliable you are with all kinds of ingredients."

Hey? I'm really worried about what I have to give!

With this skill, she should be able to avoid such a situation next time, and it should be much smoother to get the ingredients with low loyalty in advance!

Knowing what this "hidden function" was, Ash didn't wait too long in the system and returned to the kitchen from the blue space.

She tasted the bowl of king oyster mushrooms she had just made, because the stir-fry time was too long, the king oyster mushrooms were a little dry, and the color of the bell peppers in them was not very bright. As for the taste, because it was stuffy in the bell pepper for a while, it was sweet and spicy, which added a lot of points.

Ash pondered for a moment, but did not pour out the cup of oyster mushrooms, but still made two more cups of bell peppers according to the process just now.

Even though she knew that the mischievous oyster mushrooms had made an appointment to trick themselves and deliberately extended the time to remind her, she didn't pay much attention to it, as if she hadn't noticed.

Pleurotus eryngii is very proud, but he doesn't know that Ash already has his own plans.

Three cups of oyster mushrooms and bell peppers are ready, the lid is closed, and Ash begins to roast matsutake mushrooms.

The charcoal pot is boiled in advance, and the specially bought ghee slowly melts in the pot to turn into a thin layer of golden brown, and then puts the sliced matsutake mushrooms on top. The oil temperature quickly evaporates the moisture of matsutake mushrooms, and after a little weaving and roasting, it will be fragrant.

"Brother Matsutake, do you think you're ripe?" As Ash asked, he silently pulled up the toolbar of the food system and stared at the reliability of that line.

Matsutake: "Hmm...... Wait, wait five seconds. ”

System prompt: [Reliability: 90%]

Ash raised her eyebrows, only waited three seconds before picking it up, it's not that she doesn't believe in matsutake mushrooms, after all, the "reliability" is there, she just has a new plan.

While frying matsutake mushrooms, she thought that training ingredients is the same as training children, and when it is time to be fierce, it is still necessary to be fierce, and sometimes force is more useful than reasoning.

*

When the two dishes were finished, it was almost six o'clock, which was exactly the time of the meal.

Ash walked into the chess and card room, glanced at Ai Zhongkun, and heard the other party say: "This game is over soon, let's eat first, and then kill at night!" ”

Fang Wenzhao fell and shouted: "General! I finally won Old Man Lu! ”

"Let's go, don't be shy, eat, eat." Lu Yizhi got up, as if he didn't want to see this defeat, and pushed Fang Wenzhao out.

Ash pursed her lips and smiled, "Grandpa, you go to the living room first, and I'll tell my brother to go." ”

Five minutes later, the Ai family, together with the grandfather and grandson of the Fang family and the old man Lu, gathered in the dining room. The maid at home brought the dishes one by one, which was very rich.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, yellow stewed tofu, sauerkraut vermicelli soup, steamed fish, honey sauce and four dishes set by Ash, as well as three dim sum, a total of more than a dozen dishes.

Fang Wenzhao tasted the most classic Sichuan cuisine, fish-flavored shredded pork, and couldn't help but sigh: "Eh, Zhongkun, if it goes on like this, I probably don't want to go home for dinner." ”

Lu Yizhi also followed with a chopstick, the sweetness was slightly sour, and the chew was slightly spicy, several flavors were mixed, and the taste was first-class!

He nodded, "Old Fang, you are too uninteresting, such a good place, you actually brought me here today?" ”

Fang Wenzhao raised his eyebrows, "That's, who made you always target me in the army before?!" Tell you, the dishes made by Xixi girl are even more blue than blue, you, you have a good mouth today, and I will hold back the rest. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ash with a smile and asked, "Heexi, did you cook today, and which dish did you make?" You whispered to me. ”

Ash didn't expect Fang Wenzhao, an elder who usually looked quite serious, to be so cute in front of food, and she pushed the king oyster mushroom and matsutake mushroom in front of them.

"Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Lu, these two dishes I just made, I heard that you used to be a soldier in Yunnan, so I got some wild mushrooms that are more famous over there. The first time I did this, it might not taste good, you guys try it? ”

With that, she lifted the lid of the bell pepper, and the unique fragrance of the bell pepper wafted with the fresh aroma of the king oyster mushroom.

Fang Wenzhao immediately felt that his mouth was full of relish, and he hurriedly said, "Of course I want to taste it." ”

He then scooped some with a small spoon and put them into his mouth, and the bell peppers and oyster mushroom granules blended with each other as he chewed. The bell pepper is slightly spicy, because the time of frying is a little too much, although it is juicy, but it is not crispy; Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms are a little drier, but they are more chewy, and the bell pepper juice is mixed in them, which can be regarded as a good complement.

This bell pepper king oyster mushroom is not particularly successful, not as good as the craftsmanship of a good restaurant, but the person who made it is an eighteen-year-old girl, and it is still the first time to try it, which is also very good.

What's more, this chewiness and taste reminded Fang Wenzhao of when he was young, when the chefs in the army were not excellent, and the taste of the dishes he made was also average, which was somewhat similar to eating this today.

"Yizhi, you can taste this bell pepper king oyster mushroom, it's wonderful!" Fang Wenzhao scooped another spoonful for himself as he spoke, and he couldn't stop eating.

Lu Yizhihu glanced at him suspiciously, and didn't understand why this old friend could praise a little girl like this, this dish only looked bright with the bell pepper shell on the outside, and the bell pepper inside was fried to death.

But as a guest, the host cooks in person, and he still has to give enough face, Lu Yizhi still scooped the spoon with the mentality of trying.

Just after chewing a few times, his eyes lit up and he understood what Fang Wenzhao meant, this food is not a dish at all, it is feelings.

Seeing the reactions of the two old men, Ash understood that she had made the right move, and although Pleurotus had cheated her, she could do it.

If it weren't for the oyster mushrooms, she might not have thought of this layer: when Fang Wenzhao was young, they ate "big pot rice" in the army.

Then, all kinds of dishes they eat are cooked in a large stove, and this kind of cauldron is a deep pot, which is prone to uneven heating. Therefore, in order to stir-fry the top dishes, it usually takes a long time, and the bottom dishes may not be able to turn over, so they will be fried.

Especially mushrooms like Pleurotus eryngii, they are generally fried, after all, some mushrooms are easy to get into trouble when eaten raw, and Fang Wenzhao must have often eaten fried old mushrooms in the army.

Therefore, Ash did not redo the oyster mushrooms, but brought out the fried old ones. As it turned out, she was right.

She also pushed the charcoal-grilled matsutake mushroom in front of the two old men and said, "Grandpa Fang, Grandpa Lu, you can try this matsutake mushroom, because this ingredient itself is very distinctive, so I just simply roasted it with ghee." ”

Matsutake mushrooms have been roasted for a while, but because of the high summer temperature, they are dried for a while, but they are just right for eating.

With the foreshadowing of Pleurotus eryngii, Fang Wenzhao and Lu Yizhi did not hesitate, and each of them sandwiched a piece.

Matsutake mushrooms are roasted in ghee to a golden color, because the roasting time is short, the mushroom meat is not dry at all, tender and fat, and fragrant.

When Fang Wenzhao and Lu Yizhi exercised before, in order not to be discovered, they often had to spend the night in the mountains and forests. The mountains and forests of Yunnan are naturally the most wild mushrooms, and in order not to expose their locations, they have done the business of roasting matsutake mushrooms with lighters.

Today's charcoal-grilled matsutake mushrooms really evoked their memories, and the two chatted about their former military careers while eating, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively.

Of course, there is no way that Ash could have known about such a private matter as a lighter-baked matsutake mushroom. She's just afraid that in order to save time, the army may also fry the dish very raw, just in case, make another dish more tender.

As for evoking Lu Yizhi's memories of their exercises, they are completely crooked.

Ash quietly glanced at her mother Lian Yuyan, who was echoing the topic of the old man and looked very happy.

Father Ai Shiheng chatted with Fang Jinchao, and when Ash's eyes swept to Fang Jinchao, he remembered that the "task of praise" had not yet been completed.

Old Man Fang should have finished it just now, she had to find a chance to ask Fang Jinchao, but Ash felt that it would not be good for her to ask directly?

Thinking like this, Ash's eyes unconsciously fell to Fang Jinchao, who only occasionally picked up vegetables, and then spoke to his father very politely.

The expression on his face was very calm, and he didn't seem to have any sense of the food on this table.

Ash couldn't help but feel a little strange, generally speaking, when people eat, their facial expressions will change slightly because of the various flavors of the dishes. For example, when it is too sour, the corners of the mouth will be slightly tilted downward, and the brow will frown slightly; When it's too spicy, you can't help but open your lips.

This is the conclusion that she has observed many people when she was a chef in her last life.

But-she watched Fang Jinchao, and she didn't blink an eye when she ate the ginger she used to flavor in the bell pepper, it was not a small piece of ginger!

It's also weird.

I was too curious, and the task was there again, Ash couldn't hold back, and asked directly.

"Brother Jinchao, do you think the taste of this bell pepper is still appropriate?" She said.

Who knows, as soon as she said this, everyone at the table instantly paused. Fang Jinchao's hand shook even more, and his expression when he looked at Ash was full of surprise.

Ash was alone, blinking, not knowing what was wrong with his words.
