Chapter 47: Apprenticeship Tea (Part II)
The workers stepped forward to pull the rope of the embroidery needle, and the four brothers of the Shi family also stepped forward to help, and the grandmaster was naturally unwilling to be the queen ant. A leg sperm egg of hundreds of grams was pulled out of the firewood pit by a group of worker ants, saints, and boxers.
"Grandmaster, please. Xiao Ran said.
"Good. The Grandmaster stepped forward and scraped off a large piece of browned roasted egg with a silver needle.
Burst!...... Doesn't this grandmaster know how to be modest and polite, as soon as he sees food, he is like a god stick, and he doesn't want to be face-saving or anything. The previous polite and friendly grandmaster couldn't resist the temptation so much!
"It's fragrant!"
The Grandmaster was eating the roasted leg egg and praising it in a mustache. This made Xiao Ran discover a benefit of the whisper, that is, while speaking, it will not affect eating.
"Let's eat together. "Xiao Ran can be said by the ants.
The ants listened and swarmed up. Even the old and frail wizard was at this moment's pace, and rushed to the leg sperm at a rapid speed, feasting on it.
Alas, Xiao Ran sighed, the suffering of all living beings is just a word.
After tasting the leg essence eggs, the workers came to the No. 2 enamel stove. The enamel stove was gurgling and boiling the toon fruit, and a natural fragrance wafted throughout the sea buckthorn heath.
The faint smell of toon seeds is very greasy just smelling. Xiao Ran instructed the ants to stop the kerosene lighter, and asked the ants to carry a long hollow straw pole over. A few ants put the straw stalk into the enamel pot and dipped a little toon fruit tea on the straw stalk.
Twenty seconds later, he tasted the toon fruit tea on the straw stalk, slightly bitter with the stem, quenching his thirst, good, really good! This is a perfect match for roasted leg eggs. So, he instructed the workers to taste the tea in the same way.
After tasting it, the grandmaster praised it again and again.
"Is the Grandmaster satisfied with today's apprenticeship banquet?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Satisfied, very satisfied. "Grandmaster said.
"In that case, let's go on the most important one—apprenticeship. Xiao Ran said.
"This is naturally to worship, rattan pepper has such a potential disciple, it is already very rare. The Grandmaster said.
After hearing this, Tengjiao was very happy, and he offered his knee again.
"Master is above, please take the apprentice and bow down!"
"Get up. "Grandmaster said.
Tengjiao stood up and hurriedly asked, "Master, when will we start learning marksmanship, and when will we learn boxing?"
"Didn't I teach you just now, learn more and learn less, and it's up to you to comprehend. "Grandmaster said.
"This ......" Teng Jiao didn't believe his eyes, the tentacles of the grandmaster could say such things!
"You have the power to understand, I still said that you have good qualifications!" the Grandmaster was a little angry.
Rattan pepper was silent. The Grandmaster hurriedly comforted again: "Okay, okay, as long as you serve the master well, some marksmanship and boxing skills will be handed over to you." ”
"Master Xie. Rattan pepper burst into tears with excitement.
......
The apprenticeship banquet has finally come to an end. Xiao Ran couldn't be happy, in the past few days, he didn't receive a signal from his senior sister, he was looking forward to the sound of cicadas appearing again, but the cool autumn, where did the cicadas come from.
Senior Sister, Senior Sister, how long is the time you set for me? Xiao Ran couldn't help but ask himself.
The Artemisia Empire didn't make any moves for a long time, Xiao Ran was really relieved, and he instructed Jiulixiang to focus the main intelligence work on the direction of the Artemisia Empire.
And himself, while continuing to explore the road of oil and salt, is looking for the queen ant and strengthening the United Nations of the sea buckthorn Zerg.
This time, he summoned Komori and Kobayashi to explore the oil and salt road again. They soon came to the third grandfather's kitchen.
What a taste!
Xiao Ran gulped the smell of the third grandfather's kitchen, it was already afternoon, the third grandfather and his wife had just had lunch, and the smell of their food was still left in this kitchen.
A vinegar aroma mixed with caramel flavor comes to the nose! By the way, this is sweet and sour pork ribs! The pork ribs are wrapped in starch and fried on low heat for the first time, and crispy on high heat for the second time to form a charred taste on the outside and tender on the inside.
Then, mix water, sugar and vinegar in a ratio of 5 to 3 to 2, then add starch and stir well. Add oil to the bottom of the pan and stir-fry the tomato sauce until fragrant, which will add a level of taste to the sourness. After stir-frying, add the prepared sweet and sour mixture to boil, add the fried pork ribs, a sweet and sour pork rib, and that's it.
Xiao Ran recalled the noon situation in the kitchen, the third grandfather's wife added firewood, the third grandfather stir-fried the ribs on the stove, and the sweet and sour pork ribs were formed.
That's right, Xiao Ran suddenly thought that Sichuan cuisine still has this sweet and sour pork ribs-like dish, and the world's only spicy views on Sichuan cuisine are purely misunderstood.
If the third grandfather made sweet and sour pork ribs, then there must be sugar here!
Xiao Ran climbed into the cupboard, and sure enough, the sugar was next to the salt. But sadly, the sugar is packed in a tightly sealed glass jar. This feeling of being close at hand, but not at all, is really uncomfortable.
If the three jars of jam are not boiled without grain, I don't know how long they can be stored!
Rapeseed oil is also tightly covered, and the oil barrel prepared by Xiaoran cannot play a role. This time, Xiao Ran also returned with a feather, and they didn't have any other harvest except for a few cylinders of salt they brought back.
Back in the sea buckthorn wasteland, Xiao Ran went to the three large vasks where the thatch berry jam was stored to check, the thatch berries were still red, but they didn't turn into sauce, and they were not satisfied after all.
As he was pondering, a cool breeze suddenly hit, and a few yellow leaves fell with the wind.
This is...... Is it going to rain? If it rains, the road will be muddy for two or three days, and this kind of muddy road will definitely not be passable for ants. Xiao Ran looked at the three-cylinder thatchberry jam and was worried, he promised that the thatch berry jam would be baked in two weeks, but now......
This is the first setback since Xiao Ran became an ant. He wandered alone in the Land of the Dead, thinking of a solution.
At this moment, Jiulixiang suddenly came to report that a strange tree was found at the mouth of the mountain spring and the firewood house, but it smelled like a fruit. Xiao Ran followed Jiuli Xiang to check, and after walking for about half an hour, the two ants came to the place that Jiuli Xiang said, and Xiao Ran looked at it, and his heart instantly rejoiced.
"It's the tree! But it tastes so sweet. Jiulixiang pointed to a black sugar cane road.
"Tree? It's not a tree, it's a sugar-producing plant called sugar cane. Xiao Ran said to Jiuli Xiang.
"Sugar cane?" Jiulixiang was a little puzzled, he had never heard the word before.
"Yes, sugar cane. You stay here, and I'll go back and inform the other ants to find a way to get this cane back." Xiao Ran said.
"Can such a huge sugar cane be transported back? I'm afraid that it will take 10,000 worker ants to lift this sugar cane. Jiuli Xiang looked at the behemoth in front of her and said.
"Of course, don't forget, we can even destroy the legged spirit cancer. Xiao Ran said.
