Chapter 47: Little Gluttonous Insect Xun Cai
"I haven't learned the rhythm systematically, and occasionally I sing some slang tunes, and it's a shame to take it out. If Brother Xun doesn't dislike it, I'll teach you how to compose music, but you can't do anything......" Li Ming was helpless, he didn't learn music well back then.
He hadn't really learned what stave was, and it was a problem to sing it with Arabic numerals, let alone compose.
"If Captain Li doesn't dislike it, just call me 'Cai'er'!" Xun Cai became very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile.
"Then, Xun ...... Cai'er can also call a certain table word! Li Ming replied a little embarrassed.
At this time, Xun Cai's lower abdomen was filled with the sound of "gurgling", which made the scene very embarrassing for a while.
"This ...... Recently, my appetite has been a little bad, so that ......" Xun Cai suddenly panicked, after all, this is too embarrassing.
"It's time for dinner, so I've been waiting for a long time to come to Cai'er, right? Otherwise, how about returning to the army with me and I'll cook a light meal for you? Li Ming made an invitation.
"Dawn can cook?" Xun Cai couldn't help but be curious, although it is not as 'gentleman as a chef' now, but there are not many cases where men cook, and the status of cooks is generally low, she really didn't expect Li Ming to cook.
"It's just my interest, to put it bluntly, it's just to satisfy my appetite, so I've just studied it! As long as Li is in the army for one day, he may die in a foreign land, so while he is still alive, he does not plan to wronged himself! Li Ming said slowly.
"Since the dawn...... Cai'er is still called 'Brother Ming'! When you call the table, it always feels a little weird. Xun Cai thought for a while and said.
In fact, Li Ming was also depressed, and when Zhu Jun gave him the table word 'Dawn', he was almost petrified on the spot. This table is also said to be Guang Zhengwei, but as a traverser, when I hear the word 'dawn', I don't know why I always feel weird.
"Brother Ming doesn't feel good, why don't you call a certain 'Brother Ming'?" Li Ming quipped.
"Then it's called 'Brother Ming'!" Xun Cai didn't refuse, perhaps because he thought this title was not bad, "Brother Ming, since you have made an invitation, then dinner will be handed over to you!" ”
When Li Ming heard this, he couldn't help but feel like he knew Xun Cai for the first time. At first, he thought that Xun Cai should be the kind of eldest lady who does not leave the door, but after listening to Xun Cai's introduction, he had a kind of concept of being rude and willful.
It was only less than twenty minutes of contact, but he felt even more that Xun Cai was actually a person with a temperament. It's hard to imagine that with Xun's family style, he can actually raise such a 'free' woman.
"Good! Have a big dinner tonight! Li Ming solemnly patted his chest.
Seriously, Li Ming has really gotten a lot of good materials in the past few days. Maybe I remember where I heard in my previous life, a lot of spices seem to be used as medicine, so I carefully searched for the major medical halls, ginger, garlic and onions, not to mention, it really went to cumin and star anise, and even found cinnamon, fennel and pepper, as well as very few bay leaves.
However, the price is very amazing, and the store does not have many stocks, and the quality is not good! Why, I only said that medicinal materials still need to be imported through the Silk Road, so the price remains high! In recent decades, the Silk Road has been sealed, and it is even more difficult to obtain these spices!
He also bought a lot of materials, especially eggs, poultry, and even wheat, which were finely ground into powder by a special soldier with a stone mill and kept for later use. This is somewhat of a sense of abusing power for personal gain, but this is also Li Ming's prerogative.
Of course, good things should be shared by everyone, and the cost of purchase is naturally borne by everyone!
"Captain, I bought a twenty-pound carp today, do you want to make chrysanthemum fish again?" When he came to the back kitchen, Lao Zhou saw that it was Li Ming and immediately greeted him. Li Ming cooks, and their cooks can get some leftovers, and the chrysanthemum fish made by Li Ming three days ago is still unsatisfied with Lao Zhou.
"Okay, let's make chrysanthemum fish tonight! I'm going to make cumin mutton and fresh meat buns tonight, you can prepare the ingredients! In addition, in terms of vegetables, I will prepare two side dishes, no problem, right? Li Ming nodded, and then asked.
"No problem!" Lao Zhou has learned how to stir-fry vegetables at Li Ming in the past few days, and the two rape dishes are just a trivial matter.
"What kind of food is this chrysanthemum fish, cumin mutton and fresh meat buns?" Xun Cai had never heard of it, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"You'll know when you eat!" Li Ming smiled and said, then rolled up his sleeves and started to work directly. After a while, he seemed to remember something, looked up and said to Xun Cai, "There is a lot of smoke here, why don't you wait in the tent?" ”
"That's good!" Xun Cai nodded, she really didn't know how to cook, and since she couldn't help, there was no point here.
About an hour later, Li Mingcai walked in with two dishes, looked at the hungry Xun Cai, and couldn't help but say apologetically: "Sorry, let Cai'er wait for a long time!" After all, this food fee was collected by the officers in the army, and naturally they had to make a portion for them when cooking, but it turned out to be a delay! ”
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......" Xun Cai replied politely, but his stomach was gurgling. In fact, since Li Ming came in, the smell has constantly stimulated her nasal cavity and stomach, making her feel a little more hungry.
"Here, here's tonight's meal! First of all, this chrysanthemum-like fish is chrysanthemum fish, which is fried with fresh carp and floured, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and delicious! Li Ming smiled, "As for this is cumin mutton, cumin is also called cumin, which has always been used as medicine, but it is actually very delicious with barbecue!"
There is also this fresh meat bun, which is made of shrimp, accompanied by fresh and tender mutton, and ginger and garlic as filling, wrapped in fermented flour as a dough, and put on the steaming drawer for steaming, which is why Li called it 'bun'. ”
As for the last two vegetables, he didn't introduce them separately, after all, everyone knows what they are.
"Fish and sheep are fresh, no wonder they are called fresh meat buns!" Xun Cai immediately understood the origin of the name of this bun.
"This is just a home-style trial work, I hope it can meet Cai'er's appetite!" Li Ming said with a smile.
Xun Cai was not polite, and after slowly sitting down, he picked up chopsticks and picked up a bun. Holding one hand underneath and slowly putting it in her mouth, although she was very hungry, she ate very elegantly, and she deserved to be a daughter of a family.
But I didn't want to take a bite, and the elastic skin suddenly brought a completely different taste from before, and it was the first time I had tasted such a Q elastic dough. It's not that there are no steamed buns in this era, but they all seem to have never been fermented, so it's inevitable that they are a little rough and dry, and the taste is not much better.
After exclaiming, Xun Cai couldn't help but take another bite, maybe she had bitten through the skin, and the juice suddenly flowed out, Xun Cai was startled at first, and then hurriedly "sucked" it, the sound was not small, so that she drank the juice dry with a red face.
The umami of shrimp and mutton instantly filled his mouth, Xun Cai only felt that his bones had become soft, such a sense of food, I had experienced it before, the materials were obviously very ordinary, but this taste was so wonderful!
"Uh-huh......" Xun Cai groaned with satisfaction, his intoxicated expression was so cute.
"If you don't eat it quickly, it's going to get cold!" Li Ming kindly reminded.
"Well, okay!" Xun Cai reacted at this time, hurriedly tidied up his messy clothes, sat upright, and continued to taste.
She wanted to make up for her shame, but the deliciousness of the food kept hitting and paralyzing her nerves and senses. At first, no matter how much I wanted to be able to taste it elegantly, and even give some evaluations, in the end, I just indulged in it and couldn't extricate myself.
Before she knew it, the three buns had been eaten, and Li Ming had to order someone to prepare a bowl of corn for her. Otherwise, if you eat those few dishes empty, it will inevitably be a little too much.
Xun Cai didn't eat much, and three buns could already be satisfied. However, the aroma of other dishes is so attractive. I wanted to have a bun to cushion my stomach, and I can always have a good evaluation.
"This chrysanthemum fish is very beautiful, and the requirements for knife work should be very high, right?" Xun Cai pretended to pick up a piece of chrysanthemum fish, and then looked at Li Ming.
"There are some requirements for knife work, but after all, practice makes perfect, and now Lao Zhou can slice qualified fish pieces. It's a pity that I haven't been able to master the heat of frying, otherwise I would have left it to him to be responsible. Li Ming said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, this taste is so wonderful, especially this caramel candy, I didn't expect it to be used in this place. The point is that with caramel sugar, the taste becomes even more wonderful! Xun Cai took a sip and immediately praised it. reacted again, and the chrysanthemum fish in his hand had already been eaten.
"This cumin mutton, it smells a little weird......" Xun Cai picked up another piece of mutton and sniffed it on the side of Qiong's nose, "It seems that I can't smell the smell of mutton, the key is that this is called cumin, mixed with the taste of mutton, but it is very matched, it is really interesting!" ”
After speaking, he tasted it elegantly, and was immediately bewildered by the fragrance that erupted from his mouth, and let out a happy moan.
"Eat slowly, don't hold on!" Li Ming said with concern, "Eat more greens, so that you can have balanced nutrition!" ”
"Nutrition is reconciliation?" Xun Cai heard this word for the first time, or this concept.
"The nutrients needed for growth, this thing must be balanced, you can't eat vegetarian all the time, and you can't eat meat all the time. However, from a health point of view, eating more vegetarian food can help you live longer! Li Ming said with a smile.
"Cai'er is the first time I've heard of this concept...... Xun Cai nodded, and at the same time understood more that Li Ming was definitely not a vulgar martial artist, but he didn't know why, but he kept pretending to be a reckless man.
Women, really curious about a man, then it is not far from her fall. Especially when Xun Cai is at the beginning of love, it is easier to fall into the love network and cannot extricate himself.
I ate a meal very happily, and even Xun Cai ate all these dishes stubbornly. Is it because the food is so delicious that she can't help herself?
"I never thought eating would be such a wonderful thing. Cai'er thanked Brother Ming for giving me such a rare experience. Xun gently wiped Sakura's lips with a handkerchief, and then solemnly saluted Li Ming.
"It's just a meal, how can it be so exaggerated? If I'm still in Yingyang, Cai'er can come over to eat! Li Ming smiled and made a promise.
"I'm only afraid of Cai'er, if I don't come to disturb me in the future!" Xun Cai smiled faintly.
This is the first time Li Ming has faced Xun Cai's communication, in fact, there are not many topics, but Li Ming's gentleness and craftsmanship, from time to time being strong and scoundrel, make his figure have been firmly engraved in Xun Cai's heart.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Ming sent someone to send Xun Cai back to the city. But I don't want to send an emergency military situation from a pro-soldier at this moment!
