Scrambled eggs with tomato sauce, fish pieces in tomato sauce, moss peanuts, chicken with gong bang, shredded potatoes with vinegar......

When Zhang Shou saw these dishes on the table, his first reaction was...... The old salted fish must have been crossed over by the school cook! Otherwise, how could this old man make such a large number of dishes that are so strong in the school cafeteria? Of course, he was desperately complaining in his heart, but his face maintained an appropriate amount of surprise, as if it was the first time he had seen such a dish.

And the little peanut also took a breath lightly, then leaned his head over, and whispered to Ah Liu: "Sixth brother, my uncle is really generous this time, when I came to see him in the past, he could make me a scrambled egg with tomato sauce, then it was already the top of the sky, and I have only eaten peanuts a few times...... But it's the first time I've seen this palace popping chicken, what is this red thing? ”

Kid, that's called chili...... The condiment that countless people in later generations relied on for their livelihood......

If Zhang Shou could speak at this time, he would definitely put on a white-bearded grandfather-like attitude, and popularize the history of chili peppers occupying half of the foodie empire about the little peanuts. However, at this time, after the old salted fish made a gesture of please with a smile, he immediately used his spoon without thinking, and directly scooped a spoonful of palace fried chicken steadily.

When a peanut rice entered his mouth and chewed carefully, the familiar crispiness spread throughout the mouth, and the grains were distinct, Zhang Shou actually gave birth to an unparalleled emotion - he didn't know how to cherish it when he was used to it, and when he lost it for four years, he couldn't help but feel that the days of relying only on walnuts and almonds were too monotonous.

Not to mention the almonds of this year...... That's mainly used to cook almond syrup and make all kinds of snacks to eat, there are no American peach kernels!

At this time, the layer of sauce on the peanuts in the entrance was a little unsatisfactory, and the spicy taste was not very prominent, and when he ate another piece of diced chicken, the cooking score of the old salted fish in his heart was lowered again. The diced chicken is not fresh enough and the tenderness is not at all...... A complete university ordinary chef ordinary big pot rice level. You must know that the level of many small stir-fries in the school is still quite high!

Zhang Shou is picky, but Ah Liu has always been able to eat as long as he is full, and the little peanut has not eaten much delicious since he was a child, and the two of them eat a lot and fast, but they still cherish every grain of food. Therefore, when Zhang Shou, who was chewing slowly, was still patiently tasting each dish, these two had already eliminated more than half of the dishes on several plates.

And the old salted fish's original suspicion of Zhang Shou was also put down more than half after noticing Zhang Shou's eating posture.

With such a careful tasting and slowly tasting attitude, except for the kind of noble children who have been pampered since childhood and are used to eating good things, where can ordinary people have such a eating appearance? It can be seen that when Dr. Zhang said that he was poor before, it should only be relative...... If people are really poor, how can the Zhao Guogong Mansion marry his daughter to him?

Sure enough, when the cups and plates were in a mess, he saw that it was Xiao Peanut who touched his stomach and shouted satisfaction, his face was full of joy, and he obviously admired his craftsmanship, it was Ah Liu; As for Zhang Shou, who claimed to be a gourmand before, and wanted to taste his craftsmanship well, he only tasted it lightly, and ate some of each dish, but it was definitely not enough to be full, and the rice was only filled with two small spoonfuls.

However, just when the old salted fish already felt that he had seen through the essence of Zhang Shou, he saw this seemingly gentle son put down his chopsticks for a long time, and then looked at him with a smile.

"Speaking of those ingredients and seasonings just now, are there any more?"

Old Salty Fish didn't expect Zhang Shou to ask this, and he was stunned for a moment before he said with some hesitation: "There is also." ”

"Can you borrow it? And, of course, borrow pots and pans by the way? You can rest assured, pay according to the price, and never break your word. When Zhang Shou said this, he saw that the old salted fish looked puzzled, and the little peanut was even more inexplicable, so he hooked his hand at Ah Liu, saw the young man sighed, honestly untied the money bag on his waist, took out a silver coin from it, weighed it and handed it out.

Although he knew that it was genuine as soon as he saw the delicate words and patterns in his hand, when he took Zhang Shou to the greasy kitchen, the old salted fish was in a hurry to clean up, but he was full of doubts. Seeing that Zhang Shou rolled up his sleeves and borrowed a coat from him to use as a work clothes, he sneered a few times in his heart.

Look at this rich boy's pie...... I have to change my clothes when I get to the kitchen!

He didn't know that Zhang Shouzheng was complaining wildly in his heart - it's really inconvenient to have no apron, it's really inconvenient to have no washing machine, and what's even more annoying is that the clothes of this year are all naturally dyed, but they are really not washed, and they fade and shrink as soon as they fall into the water.

When the people at the bottom have no clothes to wear, the upper consumer market is simply a waste to the extreme! If he doesn't put on a coat to prevent oil smoke, he will splash a little bit when he turns around, and he can't wash it off, and he won't be able to wear this outfit, which is not the same as the dust on the road, and he can make do with a dust......

After the preparations stopped, waiting for the old salted fish to rekindle the fire, Zhang Shou carefully observed the difference between this stove and the stove when he was in Rongshui Village and the size of the fire, and then began to make various preparations without saying a word. And when he made this preparation, the old salted fish next to him gradually became dumbfounded.

He rarely bought a chicken from a neighbor, Zhang Shou is picky not about chicken thighs; That's it, but then people are picky about the variety of seasonings too little, and then they ask and smell at the same time, and then pickle on the spot, which is really extravagant, and I don't know how to save at all.

After the potatoes were peeled, they turned into thin strips of filaments under the light of the knife, which at first glance looked at most a quarter of what he had cut before.

And when all kinds of other side dishes were prepared and the stove was fired, he saw Zhang Shou skillfully getting out of the pot, stir-frying, and adding ingredients, and his movements were as skillful as those cooks in restaurants, and the pungent fragrance couldn't help but remind him that the scene he saw in front of him would definitely not be an illusion. Thinking that he had regarded people as unproductive sons before, he couldn't help but take a light breath.

He, the old guy who prides himself on being the sharpest in vision, can even look away!

After frying a plate of vinegared shredded potatoes, Zhang Shou tasted two bites directly with chopsticks, then smiled with satisfaction, and handed it to the old salted fish casually: "Your hands are a little raw, finally your vinegar is not bad, the taste is only slightly inferior." Do you taste it? ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou started to take care of himself and start the next palace fried chicken, the old salted fish hesitated, but finally took the chopsticks and tasted it, this bite, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then couldn't help but stare at Zhang Shou.

Compared to this, the vinegared shredded potatoes he made before...... That's a terrible thing!

If it weren't for seeing the seasoning and ingredients of the old salted fish, and determining that there would be potatoes, peanuts, and peppers, where would Zhang Shou hand the dish to the old salted fish at this time, he would have produced and sold it by himself, and he would have sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple on the spot after frying. Of course, he had another purpose, seeing that the old salted fish was going out with a plate of vegetables, he immediately sped up his movements.

When a plate of palace fried chicken is hot, the old salted fish has not yet come back, taking this opportunity, Zhang Shou three times five divided by two scooped two spoonfuls to eat first as fast, although it is a pity because the seasoning grasp is slightly unsatisfactory, but no matter what, it is much more delicious than the old salted fish just made. Just as he was swallowing hard, he heard the sound of voice outside.

"Fake, right? Dr. Zhang is an official, and the dishes are so much better than your uncle! ”

"Dead boy, you're not done! It's so much to talk about after you eat it! The old salted fish glared at the little peanut angrily, until the man skillfully ducked behind Ah Liu, he glanced at the kitchen, his expression and mood were all extremely complicated, and he said to himself without looking back for a long time, "Maybe it's just a coincidence......

Ah Liu coughed a little sympathetically, and then said calmly: "The young master is a genius who can read books without a teacher, and Aunt Liu, who was on the stove at home, can only cook many dishes under the guidance of the young master." ”

That's too fake, right? The old salted fish turned around suddenly, and saw that Ah Liu's face was full of seriousness, he turned his head back suspiciously, and saw the greasy door curtain in the kitchen opened, followed by Zhang Shou and came out with a plate. As soon as he looked at the plate of fragrant Gong Fried Chicken, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, not noticing that the amount of ingredients prepared before was obviously much more than this.

Of course, he wouldn't have thought that Zhang Shou, who had finished cooking, had eaten a lot of food for the first time......

The old salted fish suddenly raised the plate, dodging the claws of the little peanut stealing, and then said to Zhang Shou with a smile: "Dr. Zhang, your skill is really amazing...... I also taught me two tricks when I went back, so that this little rabbit cub can be picky about eating! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhang Shou smiled and snorted, let me prevaricate the topic, and when he followed into the house, as soon as he sat down, he saw the little peanut who was still rubbing his stomach and shouting that he couldn't eat it immediately took chopsticks and started to attack, so he directly scooped enough with a spoon in his bowl, and then chewed slowly as always.

This time, it was not to taste his own craftsmanship, but to taste the difference between these ingredients and later generations, as well as the difference in taste caused by the lack of seasoning.

Obviously, the chicken thigh meat is only marinated with wine and salt, without starch, and the marinating time is not long, which is not enough to taste; Sichuan pepper is insufficient, and the taste is different; The potatoes are not suspected to be new in season, and some parts are not crispy enough; Chili noodles don't seem to know what kind of pepper variety they are, but they aren't spicy enough anyway to be so close that this can only reach the level of the southern provinces; The most pity is that there is only ketchup.

Because compared to scrambled eggs with ketchup this heresy...... He prefers scrambled eggs with fresh tomatoes, and, it has to be sweetened!

Compared with the little peanut, the old salted fish is more reserved in the end, and he eats quite modestly, but when he found that Ah Liu also kept chopsticks, he panicked for a while, so he joined the ranks of grabbing vegetables with the children, and when this meal was finished, he recalled today's strange process, and he couldn't help but pull the beard on his chin, only to feel that his mood was messy.

This Guozijian Dr. Zhang should have eaten these dishes for the first time today, but in just a little time, he was able to improve his methods...... Could it be that a person who reads a lot of books even has this kind of hands-on ability than him? But if this is the case, what is the matter with those local parents and officials who have become officials in the Jinshi examination but have harmed one side?

After eating a meal, the old salted fish picked up the little peanut to clean up the dishes, and saw that Ah Liu also followed out, he didn't know if people were for help, or for something else, but he was also happy to be left with himself and Zhang Shou, so the questions that had been in his heart just now finally had a place to ask.

"These things that have crossed the ocean, thanks to the craftsmanship of Dr. Zhang, are not wasted."

Zhang Shou smiled, and then replied casually: "Mobile phones, online shopping, mobile payment?" ”

Seeing that the old salted fish was full of confusion, he muttered in a low voice that it seemed that he had not experienced a zero, and immediately changed his words: "Computer, Internet, mortgage down payment? ”

Finding that the old salted fish's eyes were already bigger than a table tennis ball, he could only change the word for the third time: "TV? Refrigerator? Three turns and one ring? Seventy-two legs? Seeing that the old salted fish had finally succeeded in petrifying, he finally sighed in his heart. It seems that he is not a canteen cook who has crossed over, but a person who has obtained overseas ingredients. Otherwise, this fellow crossing will also be too miserable......

Zhang Shou coughed lightly, in order to resolve the embarrassment of casually saying those messy terms just now, and then said seriously: "When I heard Zhu Erlang say before, I was thinking that many crops now come in from outside, and over time they will become things of our country. And if the dishes on the table just now can be planted in the ground, they can also benefit countless people. ”

Lao Xianyu didn't expect Zhang Shou to make such a request so bluntly, and he was stunned for a while before he said in a difficult voice: "Does Dr. Zhang think that these things will be liked by the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, princes and nobles?" ”

"They always like novelty. And if they like it, someone will plant it. ”

Zhang Shou did not shy away from promoting certain things from the top down, but after a pause, he said with a smile: "Moreover, when I just cut shredded potatoes, I felt that this thing should be very suitable as rations." Of course, the south prefers white rice, and the north prefers noodles and steamed dumplings, and this habit has been around for a long time. But I still think that if the potato yield is high, it should be able to be used in a famine year. ”

The old salted fish only felt that his heart throbbed twice, and it was easy to squeeze out a smile: "I just brought a little on the ship back to China because these things can be eaten, and then I thought about planting one when I had nothing to do, some of them lived, and some of them didn't." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou nodded, he didn't know whether he agreed with his statement or just expressed perfunctory, he couldn't help but fall silent. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Does Dr. Zhang really want to promote these overseas crops to the world?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Shou responded briefly, and then said with sincerity, "As long as it can satisfy ordinary people, it is the most worthy of promotion." Wearing warm clothes and eating well, since the court officials are supported by taxes from the people, of course they should solve the two things of food and clothing! Isn't there a saying that if you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes? ”
