Chapter 144: Chili Peppers Are Delicious
Zhao Rui sat in the carriage and didn't exercise at all, but his underwear was firmly attached to his body, and the feeling of sweating didn't stop for a moment. Zhao Rui looked up at the dense forest that almost covered the sky, and missed the air conditioner very much, if there was a large enough air conditioner, it would be able to drain all the moisture in this rainforest.
Sun Tie is also in the team, he is more intolerant than others because of his age, but he is still running to the front line as a scout.
Towards the end of the evening, Sun Tie came back with a solemn face to report, saying that he saw a few pieces of paper cut by a knife not far ahead, and he was afraid that there would be an ambush.
Zhao Rui frowned and looked at the surrounding green mountains and forests, how could he see what was in ambush.
But Zhao Rui thought about it, I'm afraid the ambush is real.
The Jiaozhi people knew how far it was from Dabaocheng to Hulang, and the speed of the march was about the same, so it was easy to deduce the location of the Dabao army camped tonight.
Now that it's getting dark, wouldn't it be a stumbling into the enemy's trap if you go any further?
"Stop! I'm camping here tonight! ”
Zhao Rui referred to Sun Tie's discovery and did not move forward, which is not much different from going again tomorrow.
"Lord Wang, the enemy is cunning, do you need me to be on duty at night?"
Sun Tie also took advantage of this time to think about it repeatedly, and felt that the possibility of an ambush was very large.
"No need Lao Tie, you are busy all day, rest well at night, and rely on your experience tomorrow, don't worry, I have my own way......"
The humidity around the rainforest is too great, even if it is a dead branch, it is wet to the touch, which causes the cooking smoke to be very strong.
But Zhao Rui has nothing to worry about, isn't the reason why the Jiaozhi people sneak attack is because they are afraid of the power of the musket, and now if anyone dares to come out, Zhao Rui promises to let them go and never return.
Dinner is acceptable, it is pickled stewed salted pork, the saltiness is amazing, a small spoonful can make people pick into two large bowls of rice, and then with the wild vegetables that the chef pulls on the way, blanched and filled in the rice.
The meal was being divided over there, Zhao Rui suddenly thought of something, put the kettle he was drinking on the ground, turned around and got into the carriage, tinkered for a long time, and took out a plastic bag of red powder.
At this time, everyone was sitting on the ground, and Zhao Rui's actions were undoubtedly particularly eye-catching, only to see him go straight to the cook with a smile.
This is a pack of chili noodles, Zhao Rui crossed over, the only thing he was greedy for was the spicy taste of chili peppers, he had never had time to buy it, I remember that I told Liang Yunru last time that I wanted to buy it once, but this time she asked the driver who sent the copper to carry a large bag.
Why is he smiling at me......
When the cook saw Zhao Rui coming straight to him with a strange smile, he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, the prince's smile was really too evil......
"Do we have canola oil?"
"The prince is talking about vegetable oil? Yes, we have to put it in when we cook. ”
"Okay, burn me a pot!"
Oh?
Although I don't understand what the prince wants to do with hot oil, the cook still quickly put on the wok and added most of the yellow and clear rapeseed oil, and the branches below have been burned into charcoal, and the fire is when it is strong, and this wok is not big, so it is just right to use.
Zhao Rui opened the cook's spice box, grabbed some spices one by one and put them in the pot, and put in ginger slices and chives.
It didn't take long for the vegetable oil to be boiling and smoking, and the spices in it were fragrant, while the ginger slices and chives had been slightly charred by the hot frying.
Zhao Rui fished it out with a spoon, and then carefully took down the wok and put it on the ground.
Zhao Rui still has some experience in making chili oil, and knows that chili noodles should be put in three times, the first part to put in is when the oil is the hottest, which happens to fry the unique aroma of chili peppers, the middle part is at a moderate temperature, which can stimulate a strong spicy taste, and the last part is the key to showing an attractive red color!
"Zila~"
Zhao Rui took the first chili noodles first, and the strong aroma instantly filled the entire forest, and the soldiers twitched their noses and sighed.
"It smells so good!"
"What is the prince doing! It tastes so good! ”
"I don't know! But with so much oil, it's delicious to do anything! ”
"Wow!" Zhao Rui put in the second serving, in order to be more spicy, Zhao Rui wanted more. At this time, the temperature of the oil is dropping, and the sound is noticeably quieter than the first time.
After a while, Zhao Rui put in the last portion, and at the same time filled it with a large handful of salt, and stirred it in it with a spoon.
Done......
Zhao Rui was the closest, and the strong aroma made his saliva almost run down.
Seeing the soldiers around him looking at each of them with a big spoon, Zhao Rui took a big spoon and added a little to each of their rice bowls, not that Zhao Rui was reluctant, but that he was afraid that it would be difficult for them to accept it for the first time.
"That's so little......"
"Be bold, no matter how little the prince gives, it's your blessing!"
"Huh! It's so spicy! ”
"yes...... Why is it so spicy, even hotter than pepper! ”
Arjuna was relatively close, so Zhao Rui wanted her to try it first.
Arjuna got up and looked at it, and said reluctantly: "What's the matter, it's weird and scary, I don't want to eat it!" ”
"No! A must eat! And you guys! ”
Zhao Rui pointed to the soldiers who had been added with chili oil and said: "You all have to eat, if you don't eat it, the military law will serve!" ”
The soldiers who were originally going to secretly change a bowl of rice stopped their movements and ate with sad faces, but they were afraid that it would be too spicy, so they stirred the food evenly, and now the whole bowl was red.
There is no way, the prince will let him eat, who dares not to eat.
"I don't want it, don't eat it if I kill it~"
Arjuna was still dodging Zhao Rui's big spoon.
"If you don't eat it, I won't let you take the lead!"
Zhao Rui's words seemed to have magic power, Arjuna pouted, and watched Zhao Rui pour the red oil into the bowl.
"Like them, mix and eat!"
After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he went to distribute chili oil to other soldiers.
At this time, those who ate it tasted it.
"Oh my God, why do I think it's getting better and better!"
"yes, it's hot in my mouth, I can't stop!"
"Well...... Am I the only one who thinks it smells good? ”
"Me too! It feels much better with red oil than without it! ”
There were too many people, so Zhao Rui could only divide a few large bowls and let the soldiers add them themselves.
Chili pepper can dissipate cold and dampness, open depression and phlegm, eliminate food, kill insects and detoxify, and can also stop diarrhea and diarrhea, and dispel athlete's foot. In this humid and poisonous rainforest, what food can be more useful than chili peppers?
Therefore, Zhao Rui forced everyone to eat chili oil, so that the soldiers of the army were physically strong and more effective in battle. However, as long as they have eaten the benefits of chili peppers once, they will definitely be haunted by their dreams.
Sure enough, the soldiers who were the first to eat chili oil went to add rice again, and at the same time added chili oil to Zhao Rui's side, and this time they added more.
"Wow! Refreshing! ”
"Yo Yo, my mouth, mouth, and stomach are hot, but why do I still want to eat!"
"yes, I also feel comfortable eating chili oil!"
"Hiss~Whew~"
Everyone opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues, looking a little embarrassed by the spicy, but the amount of food tonight was far more than the cooks expected. Originally, I deliberately cooked more, but I was still eaten.
"Zhao Rui, you ...... Can you give me some more chili oil? ”
Arjuna easily snatched another bowl of rice and brought it to Zhao Rui, her face was ruddy, and she didn't know if it was spicy or embarrassed.
Zhao Rui deliberately teased her and said with a smile: "Yo, didn't you say that you shouldn't eat it even if you are killed?" Why are you still asking for it now? ”
"I can't help it! It's all because the chili oil is so delicious, I can't eat this bowl of rice without chili oil! Arjuna poked her rice bowl in front of Zhao Rui and urged.
Seeing her eagerness, Zhao Rui couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he added some chili oil to her.
"A little more...... A little more......"
Arjuna couldn't wait to mix the rice, staring straight at the delicate red in the bowl, and took a large bite into her mouth to chew.
"It smells so good!"
Arjuna chewed, her eyes half-squinted, her face intoxicated.
"Grunt~" Zhao Rui's stomach let out a protest.
Yes, I haven't eaten yet, isn't it too kind as a leader?
With a little chili oil in a bowl, Zhao Rui returned to Zhao Gong's side, and his place was ready to eat.
"Huh? Where's my rice? ”
Zhao Gong and the others ate a lot of food, Zhao Rui looked around, but he didn't find his own food.
"Ah......h
Zhao Gong pulled his face out of the rice bowl, and there were still two red rice on his cheeks, and said embarrassedly: "Young master, I'm ...... I forgot to serve you food......"
Zhao Gong felt guilty, and Zhao Rui couldn't say anything more.
"It's okay, you can eat, I'll go serve a bowl of rice."
Zhao Ruiwu walked over to the chef.
"What! Running out of rice? ”
Zhao Rui's surprised voice startled a bird in the forest.
The pimples on the chef's face were also frightened at this time, and it seemed that the prince was going to be angry! The cook is about to cry, is he going to be killed if he doesn't have enough food to eat?
Fortunately, he had an idea, and suddenly remembered that there was also a cooking cake, which was originally kept for his own meal, but now it can only be dedicated to the prince.
"Wang ...... Lord, that's all there is to it...... I'll give you hot heat. ”
This pancake is not small, it looks like two palms, the cook washes the pot, touches the oil, and sizzles the pancake.
Zhao Rui took the cooking cake in his hand, smeared the chili oil, the red and glamorous ones were very good-looking, and then folded the cake in half, took a bite, it was fragrant and spicy, and the taste was quite good.
Seeing Zhao Rui's smiling face, the chef's hanging heart also let go, thinking that he must cook more in the future, with chili oil, these people's meals are obviously good!
Zhao Rui walked back while eating, but he didn't expect Arjuna to lean over.
"Zhao Rui, your cake looks good, can I taste it." Arjuna is also wondering why she has such an appetite today.
"Isn't it, it's not enough to eat two bowls of rice?" Zhao Rui was a little dumbfounded, as a woman, is she too good to eat?
"Well, only one bite ......"
