The Dust Scroll: The First Entry into the Capital City is Afraid of Changes, and Qian Zhuang is Hiberning and Seeking a Way Back Chapter 57 Treasures and Flavors
There are thousands of delicacies in the world, and the most exquisite is the mastery of the heat, and the cherishing of the ingredients is secondary. Therefore, there is a beautiful talk that "one person can eat the same day, and Mo Dao spoon is Qiankun".
Although Gu Xing is not as good as this one-man who is in charge of the spoon and all the people are down, but over the years, he has been playing all kinds of drums, and he knows some cooking skills to some extent, and what flows in his bones is the blood of the Central Plains in the world, how can he destroy the heavens and let such a pile of delicacies continue to be silent?
When Gu Xing carefully inspected the ingredients, he suddenly had a different face, turned his head to the old official's family and asked, "Dare to ask, according to what you said before, Gao Gongzi has been eating bamboo shoots, so why are these ingredients reserved?" ”
The old housekeeper smiled lightly, stroked his beard and said slowly: "Gu Gongzi doesn't know, this is what the head of the family means, and he reserves fresh ingredients every day in case of emergency." If Childe's body recovers, it will be too late to open up Luo at that time. It is better to respond to all changes with the same in order to fully deal with them. ”
Gu Xing couldn't help but gasp after hearing this, and the illustrious family was revealed between the lines. Regardless of the fact that Tang was in the rich land of Jiuyuan after this, it was said that a small half of the ingredients stored here were only known by their names and not seen, which was an eye-opener this time.
Gu Xing didn't wait for the old official to continue to say anything, stepped into the kitchen, and carefully examined everything. Gu Xing picked up a piece of meat threaded with thatch, and was about to say something, but he didn't expect to be preempted by the old official's family and said; "Gu Gongzi may not know that this thing is precious, but among these ingredients, it is the most eye-catching one."
Gu Xing was puzzled, laughed loudly and said, "Isn't this the pork?" As soon as these words came out, the old official first shook his head with a light smile, and then turned his head to look at the high-diving exhibition at the doorrail.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xing's simple words had already made the second son of the Gao family lean back and almost turn his back on him. Gu Xing looked confused, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't what I said wrong?" ”
Gao Qianzhan covered his undulating chest, and tried his best to hold back the upwelling smile, and slowed down for a while before saying: "Brother Gu may have looked away, this thing is the meat of the snow cow, only because the cow is very rare, and the people in the world know very little about it, so there is such a misunderstanding." ”
Gu Xing was a little crying and laughing, since you said that people in the world know very little, then of course it is understandable for me to look away, why do you make fun of me like this, it is really a little strange. Then he asked, "You say that you look like a snow cow, what proof do you have?" Why do I look like the pork? ”
Hearing the guinea pig, the high diving exhibition laughed loudly again, and could no longer suppress the laughter. And the old official coughed lightly a few times, and then said to Gu Xing with a smile: "Gu Gongzi doesn't know, the guinea pig in the capital and even in the Later Tang Dynasty is a reference to touch, that is, it is slightly mocking, please don't be surprised." As for this snow beef, it is indeed somewhat similar to guinea pork, but when Gongzi looks closely, this meat is snow-white from the outside to the inside, but there are red threads in the meat, which can be judged. ”
When Gu Xing heard this, he subconsciously leaned closer, and where he fixed his eyes, he saw a trace of red threads, and this piece of meat was snow-white, and he had mistakenly thought that it was a fat guinea pig, and he made such a joke.
When he got up, Gu Xing hugged his fist at the old official's house with a little apology, and said loudly: "Gu is lonely and unheard, please forgive me." The old official waved his hand, signaling that Gu Xing was fine, and the thought that he had been preparing to prepare for his hands suddenly disappeared.
But the arrow had to be sent on the string, and when he quietly saw Gao Qianzhan looking expectant, Gu Xing suddenly felt a sense of frustration that it was difficult to ride a tiger. I had to clench my fists again and say to the old official: "Please take charge of the spoon and let me help from the side, I will definitely be able to help." ”
The old housekeeper glanced at Gu Xing with a smile, then turned his head to look at Gao Qianzhan, who suddenly had a flying face, ran back into the house, and disappeared. Gu Xing saw that the old official's family did not agree, and he clenched his fists again, his eyes were resolute, as if he wanted the old official's family to agree.
The old official looked at these ingredients, walked slowly to the kitchen stove, took off two sets of kitchen clothes from a hook next to him, handed them to Gu Xing and said, "I'll only talk about it once, how much you can learn and how much you can help, it depends on your own understanding." ”
Gu Xing nodded again and again when he heard this, and began to get busy with the old official's family. With the joke of pork just now, Gu Xing didn't dare to say anything, so he could only wait for the old official to say it slowly.
The old official handed the snow beef to Gu Xing and said: "The snow cow is unique to the Chu country, and every cow flows into my Houtang when the cattle are traded, and the staple food of the country tastes delicious, so I ordered people to raise them in captivity in the capital, so as to have this blessing." This thing has the miraculous effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and the meat is delicate and refreshing, especially cut into thin slices and scalded with boiling water, supplemented by secret sauces, it can be described as a delicacy in the world. ”
After listening to the words of the old official, Gu Xing understood in his heart, opened a steaming cauldron on the stove, carefully slid the snow beef from the edge of the pot, and only covered it again after the meat was submerged in boiling water.
Seeing that Gu Xing was so alert, the old official picked up an ingredient like a cauliflower and said: "This thing is called Heleng, it is strong, and it needs to be cooked with heavy oil over high heat before it can be eaten, you can deal with it." ”
Gu Xing took out a kitchen knife from the stove, touched a dustpan with his hand, came to a desk, and divided the two by two to deal with the flute and put it on the desk. Next, the old official's family picked up an object and introduced it, and Gu Xing also looked for a way to deal with it from the old official's introduction, and in less than half an hour, he processed a dazzling array of ingredients.
Seeing that it had been dealt with, he respectfully put down the kitchen knife, stepped aside, and waited for the instructions of the old official's family. The old official calmly took out the snow beef that had just been put into the pot with fat water, put it on the board, and did not care about the temperature of the meat that had just been fished out, took out a three-inch broken blade on his waist, and began to slice the beef.
I saw that the old official pressed the snow beef with one hand, and quickly cut it with a knife in the other, and then quickly lifted it up. This series of actions was in the midst of lightning and fire, which made Gu Xing, a practitioner, also breathtaking. Regardless of the old official's practice makes perfect, just this slice of snow beef, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, is evenly scattered on the board, which is enough to deter the world.
Just when Gu Xing was amazed by his outstanding skills, the old official's family had already slapped the scattered beef from the board. Gu Xing hurriedly handed over a wooden plate, and the old official's hands were doubled, and the flying snow beef was lying on the wooden plate steadily, as well-behaved as a newborn baby.
The old official took the snow beef, handed the wooden plate to Gu Xing, took out a white jade gourd from the secret compartment at the stove, and the moment he twisted the gourd's mouth, the smell was so fragrant that Gu Xing almost didn't drool.
With a flick of the wrist, the secret sauce in the white jade gourd flowed on the snow beef, just like an obsessed lover, reunited after a long absence, and the people who watched it were intoxicated by this overflowing fragrance.
Gu Xing knew that he was rude, so he hurriedly put down the plate of snow beef, and secretly rubbed his mouth before he came to his senses. The old official's family didn't seem to see Gu Xing's gaffe, and he began to work on the next dish again.
Walking between the ingredients and the stove like this, as if the gods descended to earth, elegant and calm. And Gu Xing also slowly got used to the constant shock, he was just an old hat in the countryside, if he was exposed too much, I was afraid that he would really fall into the laughing stock.
After about half an hour, all the ingredients finally became a delicacy with the skillful hands of the old official's family and the clumsy help of Gu Xing. The old official looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, like an old friend who had not been seen for a long time, sighed lightly, and then slowly put away the short blade, and then stroked the handle of the short blade, as if to appease and affirm.
Gu Xing didn't know why, so he could only pick up two dishes and quickly run to the side room to put them down, and then ran back to the kitchen to continue taking the dishes. After running back and forth dozens of times, Gu Xing stood still and looked back, the old official's family kept looking at the stove and was distracted, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Xing knocked lightly on the door, and the old official's family suddenly raised his head, showing a scheming smile, signaling that the two of them would eat first and not have to wait for themselves. Although Gao Qianzhan ran back to the wing room just now, he had been secretly observing the busyness of the two, looking at Gu Xing's meticulousness, Gao Qianzhan showed a warm smile that he had not seen for a long time.
The two hands were also secretly rubbing together, as if they had something on their minds. After Gu Xing put the dishes on the table, and saw that the old official's family refused to eat together, he stomped his feet childishly, ran over and pulled the old official's sleeve and dragged him to the side room.
Gu Xing was a little funny when he saw this, but he might never experience such a grandson, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. The old official's family couldn't stand the second son of the Gao family, so he could only sit down, but the place where he sat was only one-third of the stool.
Gu Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw it, and he didn't poke it, so he sat down. Gao Qianzhan saw the two of them sitting still, looking at the old official's family who had been taking care of him carefully, and then looked at this fateful person who had only known him for a day, and said with a smile: "Let's use this table of delicious food to remember this moment." ”
In fact, in Gu Xing's view, this is just a sparse and ordinary meal, but the ingredients are too cherished, but it seems out of place with the present. It's just that I didn't expect that in the days to come, every time I recall this meal, I will fall into the past and can't extricate myself.
Maybe it's because the delicacies on this table are too rich, or maybe the high diving exhibition hasn't eaten dishes other than bamboo shoots for too long, Gu Xing and the old official's family are symbolically eating, most of the time they are watching the high diving exhibition feasting, every time they want to say something, the two will look up at each other and smile, and be silent.
Maybe that's it, it's just like that, and the years are quiet. After the high diving exhibition swept the wind and ate a table of delicious food, Gu Xing and the old official also put down their chopsticks tacitly, one wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and the other touched his belly with his hand, and the three of them looked up at each other, and they all laughed heartily.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the bluestone road outside the door, and the old official and Gu Xing both got up and walked to the outer door when they heard the sound. I just don't know when this tacit understanding started and will end.
