Day! This Nima can also be called a kitchen? The thatched hut is pretty much the same.
It was definitely the worst, dirtiest, and most rudimentary kitchen Richie had ever seen.
In the middle of the room was a large rectangular wooden table with some chopsticks on it, a cutting board on which was a slice of pork, and some bamboo shoots and some garlic and other ingredients scattered on the side. On the left side of the wall are two large brick wood stoves, one with a large iron pot on top of it, and the other seems to have been useless for a long time. There was a small table next to the wood stove, on which were placed vessels of various sizes and shapes, which looked to be used for seasonings, and a large wooden bucket full of water beside the small table. In the innermost part of the room there was a small pile of wood that had been chopped.
Li Qi didn't even have any interest in visiting, he just wanted to flash people quickly, and asked directly: "Hey, Liuzi, what kind of dishes do you have here?" ”
"Aren't they all on the table, you won't see them yourself! Oh yes, there's a carp under the table. Wu Xiaoliu hugged a bundle of firewood, threw it in front of the stove, and said impatiently.
"Ugh!"
Li Qi came to the table and looked at it, and saw that in addition to a piece of pork, there were some bamboo shoots left, and he broke out in a cold sweat and said in surprise: "That's it?" As he spoke, he picked up the piece of pork that weighed more than a pound and smelled it, MD, fortunately it was not rancid.
"It's still going to be left for us to eat." Wu Xiaoliu didn't have a good airway.
Exercise! No way? Such a big restaurant, just order this? It's too bad.
Li Qi began to regret why he had been impulsive and left those two guests behind. But regret is regret, he is not the kind of man who retreats when he encounters a setback, while regretting it, he is already thinking in his heart, what to cook later.
In fact, the reason why Li Qi left those two masters and servants was not because he was impressed, but because he felt that he had lived here for nothing for so many days, he should always do something for them, and he could pay back a little first, and count a little.
I have to say that Wu Xiaoliu is indeed a good hand at making fires, and in just a while, he burned the stove to the top of the fire.
Wu Xiaoliu stood up, wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, and saw that Li Qi was still standing at the table in a daze, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly shouted: "Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi." ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw that the fire had been lit, so he said, "Okay, you go out to entertain the guests first, and I'll serve the dishes myself later." ”
Wu Xiaoliu glanced at Li Qi suspiciously, his face was full of apprehension, and said, "Then hurry up, remember to call me if you have anything." ”
Li Qi was still thinking about what to cook, so he didn't pay attention to it at all, just nodded perfunctorily.
What a weirdo.
Wu Xiaoliu scratched his head and walked out.
After coming out of the kitchen, Wu Xiaoliu came to the second floor again, and when he saw that the two guest officers had no orders, he returned to the counter.
After a while, Wu Xiaoliu saw that there was still no movement in the kitchen, and he was uneasy, pacing around in front of the door, and muttered to himself: "Why is it not okay?" ”
After another half a pillar of incense, Wu Xiaoliu saw that Li Qi had not come out yet, and he was already full of regret in his heart, and scratched his head hard, why did I get lost in my mind at that time, let him go to cook, you said that a drunk man, what kind of dishes can he make, if he let his uncle know, he must not scold me to death, alas, forget it, it is better to go in and have a look.
The more Wu Xiaoliu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was just about to go to the kitchen to find out, when he suddenly heard Wu Furong's voice outside, "Sixth son, sixth son." ”
I'm really afraid of anything.
Wu Xiaoliu was so frightened that he shuddered, turned his head to look, and saw Wu Furong walking in from outside, and said in a panic: "Uncle, why did you come back?" ”
Wu Furong frowned and glanced at him, and said in surprise: "Then when should I come back?" ”
Wu Xiaoliu was speechless for a while, and when he saw that Wu Furong was coming alone, he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Huh?" What about Master Zhou? ”
"Master Zhou is still in the house, I'll come back first." Wu Furong took a sip of tea and ordered, "Sixth son, you close the door first." ”
Wu Xiaoliu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?" ”
Wu Furong nodded and said, "Well, Madame has already decided to sell the store." ”
"Huh?"
Wu Xiaoliu's eyes instantly dimmed, and he asked, "Did the lady find a buyer?" ”
Wu Furong shook his head and said, "Not yet, but don't do business in the next few days, anyway, there are no guests coming, you should close the door quickly." ”
"Oh!"
Wu Xiaoliu responded, and suddenly thought that there were two other guests upstairs, and they were in place, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
"What are you still doing here? Don't go yet. Wu Furong saw that Wu Xiaoliu was still standing in place in a daze, and immediately said angrily.
Now, Wu Xiaoliu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he cried and pointed upstairs and said, "Uncle, there are two more guests upstairs." ”
"What?"
Wu Furong exclaimed, and immediately lowered his voice and said, "You kid is confused, Master Zhou is not here, what do you give to the guests." ”
"It's all to blame on that Li Gongzi, he had to keep those two guests." Wu Xiaoliu hurriedly put the blame on Li Qi.
"Richie?" Wu Furong was surprised.
"Who else but him. If you don't believe me, he's in the kitchen right now, and you can ask him yourself. "Wu Xiaoliu didn't have a good airway.
Wu Furong looked suspicious, glanced at Wu Xiaoliu, and said, "You watch here, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." ”
At this moment, a sudden smell came from the back room.
"Wow! What a thing, it smells so good! Wu Xiaoliu exclaimed.
Wu Furong also stopped, sniffed vigorously, and frowned: "Mo Fei." ”
As soon as the words came out, I saw Li Qi walking out of the back room with three bowls of dishes, and saw Wu Furong standing in the hall, and said, "Huh? Uncle Wu, you're back! ”
Wu Furong nodded solemnly, stepped forward quickly, glanced at the three dishes that Li Qi was holding in his hand, and suddenly gasped, these three dishes, he had never seen them, and asked incredibly: "This --- you made?" ”
Li Qi nodded, and said with a sneer: "I saw that Master Zhou was not there, so I took it upon myself to leave two guests, you won't blame me, right?" ”
"Wow! Li Gongzi, you really know how to cook! Wu Xiaoliu, who reacted, also walked to Li Qi's side, looked at the three plates of fragrant dishes, and shouted excitedly.
What is this called!
Li Qi rolled his eyes, ignored him, and said to Wu Furong: "Uncle Wu, if it's okay, I'll serve the dishes to the guests first." Although Li Qi learned to cook since he was a child, it was the first time he served a plate, and he found it quite interesting.
"Oh! Then go ahead. Wu Furong nodded hurriedly, he hadn't reacted yet.
"Brother Li, let me do this rough work." Wu Xiaoliu was so excited that he even changed his name for Li Qi, and reached out to take the tray from Li Qi's hand.
Richie smiled, and the two of them went upstairs together.
The two of them came upstairs one after the other, and saw that the purple-robed boy was sitting at a table by the window, looking out of the window with scattered eyes, and the entourage was standing respectfully on the side, the two masters and servants were talking and laughing, and there was no trace of impatience on their faces.
After Wu Xiaoliu put the dishes away, he said with a smile: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”
The purple-robed boy stared at the three dishes on the table in surprise, a plate of golden pork slices, a plate of carp without even a drop of soup, and a plate of crystal clear bamboo shoots, and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? Are these dishes weird? As he spoke, he asked Li Qi, "Little brother, did you make these three dishes?" ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Makes you laugh." ”
The purple-robed boy looked at the three dishes again, still had no clue, and asked Li Qi with an embarrassed face: "Dare to ask this little brother, can you tell me what are the names of these dishes?" ”
"Of course!"
Li Qi first pointed to the plate of pig's head slices and said, "This is back to the pot meat." Then he pointed to the plate of bamboo shoots and said, "This is braised bamboo shoots in oil." Finally, he pointed to the plate of carp and said, "This is fried carp." ”
"Back to the pot? Braised bamboo shoots in oil? Pan-fried carp? ”
The purple-robed boy whispered it again, closed the white paper fan, and said with a smile: "Interesting, interesting." He couldn't wait to glance at the entourage on the side.
The attendant immediately picked up the dishes and chopsticks, took a handful from the three dishes and put them into the bowl, and then put the dishes and chopsticks in front of the purple-robed boy, and said, "Son, please use it slowly." ”
The purple-robed boy put the white paper fan on the table, picked up the chopsticks, put a bamboo shoot shredded into his mouth, chewed it gently, his eyes lit up, and praised: "Crispy and delicious, sweet taste, good, good." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, with an intoxicated expression, and said: "Fat but not greasy, rotten but not scattered, smooth and delicious, I can't imagine that such an inconspicuous piece of pork can be made so delicious, amazing, amazing!" ”
In the Northern Song Dynasty, mutton and beef were the most popular, and the average wealthy family was reluctant to eat pork. The Dongpo brothers once said, 'Yellow pigs are as cheap as soil, the rich refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook', you can imagine how miserable the status of pork was at that time.
Wu Xiaoliu on the side heard the praise of this purple-robed son, his excited eyes were shining, and his face was full of joy.
For these words of praise, Li Qi seems a little flat, but it is no wonder that he used to live in praise every day.
The purple-robed boy picked up a small piece of fish meat from the bowl and put it in his mouth, and after chewing it, before he had time to swallow it, he had already let out a burst of exclamation, and praised: "Fried carp, good!" As the name suggests, the aroma and umami of the fish are all sealed inside, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and mellow, wonderful, really wonderful! ”
