Chapter 14: Leek Study
Chen Er went to the field early the next morning with a small bamboo basket.
There are many people who get up early to work, and busy people can be seen everywhere in the fields.
After opening the live broadcast, there were already a lot of onlookers.
"Since I started chasing Chen Laoshi's live broadcast, I, a person who likes to sleep lazy, have become a good baby who goes to bed early and wakes up early."
"Chen Laoshi has three good, good looks, clever hands, and can induce early sleep!"
Chen Er smiled and said, "I have to say a word modestly about Yan Hao......"
"You're so right."
Early summer mornings are Chen's favorite time.
The sky was blue, with the occasional drift of clouds, but most of the time it was cloudless.
In the early morning, the sun has not yet risen, and the surrounding light takes on a pale white color.
The temperature is neither lukewarm nor hot, just right.
Chen Er walked on the ridge with a bamboo basket, and the weeds on the ridge submerged half of his shoes.
The weeds are green and lovely, with pointed leaves and an unyielding posture.
There are also small round dew drops on the top.
Chen Er walked through the ridge, and inadvertently wet his shoes and trouser legs.
Apparently these little dewdrops are also unintentional.
Chen Er smiled lightly and arrived at his destination when there was a hint of gold on the horizon.
A field of leeks.
Leeks are like enlarged versions of the grass you just met on the ridges.
The long leaves are straight and straight.
Like a small sapling in the field.
The green is rich and colorful, and it is self-satisfied.
Before Chen Er could speak, the fans in the barrage couldn't wait to start ridiculing.
Pork stewed vermicelli: "Mr. Chen actually wants to eat leeks!" I heard that leeks are strong (beep, river crabs) yang! Wait a minute...... I seem to have found something......"
Tea eggs invaded the earth: "Yesterday, when Mr. Chen was packing up his backpack, he accidentally dropped a book and came out, but I could see it clearly...... Isn't it "Golden Vase Plum"! ”
Eat a pound: "I see, no wonder Chen Laoshi is so anxious to replenish." ”
Chen Er couldn't help but want to reveal the black question mark face emoji that has been very popular recently.
"Who told you that eating leeks can strengthen (beep)?"
"Traditional Chinese medicine considers leeks to be "Yiyang", but this does not mean "aphrodisiac". Some people say that leeks contain trace elements of zinc, which play an important role in growth and reproductive function. However, leeks contain only 0.43 mg of zinc per 100 grams, and the effect is limited. ”
"If you want to achieve results, unless you eat a few catties of leeks at every meal, that's almost feasible."
Chen Er continued, "If you have to say what function leeks have, it also depends on what ingredients they go with. ”
"For example, in "Fangmai Zhengzong", it is said that the leeks are eight taels white, and the walnut meat is peeled two taels. Fried in sesame oil with the same fat, eclipse, take for one month. It can cure yang deficiency and kidney cold. ”
"Or stir-fry leeks and shrimp together, so as to have the effect of tonifying the kidney and strengthening (beep) yang."
After talking for a long time, Chen Er felt that his mouth was dry, so he took down the kettle he carried with him and poured a few sips of water.
Watermelon is not an eastmelon: "Chen Lao Shi is really an old driver, and there are a lot of recipes for Zhuang (beep) Yang." ”
Riding a snail to run to the well-off: "What did Brother Watermelon say, there are a lot of female fans in this live broadcast room, pay attention to the influence, what's wrong with letting Chen Laoshi replenish his kidney, the old driver is not allowed to replenish his kidney, it's unreasonable." ”
Tea eggs invade the earth: "Hahahahaha......ha
Chen Er almost squirted out the water he had just drunk, "You are the old driver, believe it or not, I took out my student ID and showed it to you!" ”
“……”
Chen Er took a small bamboo basket to talk to the owner of the field on the ridge.
Chen Er's expression was very surprised to learn that he only needed vegetable roots and did not need vegetable leaves.
Most people eat leeks and leaves, and it was the first time he had seen them eating roots.
Chen Er followed him down to the field.
The ground in the field is soft, which should be the reason for the previous rain.
Chen Er searched for his purpose in a large field of leeks.
Because he eats leek roots, he has to look for those leeks that grow smaller and more tender.
Such leeks have young roots and will taste more tender.
Chen Er grabbed a handful of leeks that seemed to outsiders to be seedlings and completely unpalatable.
With a slight force, the whole leek was pulled out with mud.
The root of the leek is tender and white in color.
It extends from under the leaves of leeks like countless small whiskers.
Chen Er did not remove the mud from the leek root, but directly reached out and pinched a piece of the root whisker, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"The root of the leek has a spicy smell, and after chewing for a long time, it is a little sweet. The smell is refreshing and the taste is a bit like boiled old meat. Overall good. ”
The camera zooms in on the leek in Chen Er's hand.
"Leeks can be divided into four types: root leeks, leaf leeks, flower leeks, and leaf and flower leeks according to the edible part."
"The leek in my hand is a root leek. It mainly eats roots and flower sprouts. The root system is stout and can be processed for pickling or cooking. The flower sprouts are fat and tender, can be fried, and the young leaves are also edible. ”
Chen Er quickly plucked out enough to eat himself, put it in a small bamboo basket, then paid the money and walked in the other direction.
"The history of eating leeks in China is also very long."
"The best time for leeks is spring."
"The Book of Songs: The Wind of Songs" says: On the fourth day, the lamb is sacrificed to the leek. It means that lambs and leeks are sacrificed. ”
"The Qing Offering of the Mountain Family" contains, Zhou Hao of the Six Dynasties, who is poor and has few desires, often eats vegetables all year round. Prince Wenhui asked him what was the best taste of vegetables? He replied: Early spring leeks and late autumn chives. ”
Chen Er carried a small bamboo basket full of leek roots and walked slowly through the field.
The sun on the horizon finally came out of the sky for a long time.
The gold is orange-red, like a freshly peeled egg yolk.
Many tall banyan trees are planted on the road at the edge of the field.
A farmer drove his oxen down the road, shouting from time to time.
Occasionally, when the noise is loud, it will startle the sparrows perched in the treetops.
Chen Er turned around and looked over, just in time to see a large flock of small sparrows chirping, flashing their little wings, flying over the sky.
Chen Er looked back.
Let's talk about leeks.
"But the dish that the anchor is going to do today is not made with leeks, but with leek roots."
"So what is the origin of this dish made of leek roots?"
Chen Er's tone of voice was slow, coupled with a large quiet farmland behind him and distant mountains and rivers hidden in the mist and light smoke in the distance, and he also had the temperament of a landscape painting.
"During the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a rich man named Shi Chong."
"Shi Chong once said, 'Silk and bamboo are the best choices at the time, and the food is the treasure of the poor water and land'."
"Meaning, if I entertain guests. Then the silk and bamboo instruments at the banquet must be the best choice, and the musician must also be the best musician at that time. The meals at the banquet must use up all the rare ingredients in the heavens and the earth, in the rivers, lakes and seas. ”
"That's a big deal."
"So one winter, Shi Chong instructed his servants to make such a dish."
"Put leek roots and wheat seedlings together to make a famous dish, leek research."
"The dish that the anchor is going to do today is this leek grinding dish."
