29. Five full of five colors

"Children, it's not early, it's so cold, your clothes haven't dried yet, so it's easy to catch a cold when you go home. Why don't you go to my house first, my house is in front of Yao Ji, when you get there, you put on my son's clothes first, and then let's have dinner together, and when your clothes are dry, you can go home again, how about it?"

"Yao Ji's specialty is your family, your name is Yao Kitchen Knife, oh, I know, are you the son of Grandpa Iron Pot?" As soon as he heard the word "Yao Ji", Lin Ziyi's eyes immediately lit up, just like a hungry wolf seeing a sheep.

"You know my dad?"

"Of course, in this part of the Nancheng District of GZ City, if you want to talk about restaurants, the first choice is 'Yao Ji Specialties'. I don't know what others are doing, anyway, the craftsmanship of Grandpa Iron Pot, that is definitely the number one in my mind!" Looking at Lin Ziyi's intoxicated expression, I knew that he was telling the truth, "Hey, Uncle Yao, I've been to 'Yao Ji' many times, why have I never seen you?"

"It's normal that you haven't seen me, I'm a boat runner, and I often have to go far abroad, and I may not come back once a year or two. Let's stop chatting here, the meal is almost ready, and when it arrives, don't you know if what I said is true? ”

"Great, I've got a good day today!"

Yao Ji has a rule, that is, if you go to dinner, you can't eat the dishes made by Yao Tieguo, because Yao Tieguo is very self-disciplined, and he eats and sleeps strictly according to his own work and rest rules. Therefore, no matter who you are, as long as you have a meal, you can only eat what his apprentice makes. If you want to eat what he made, you can also do it, then you can only make a reservation, Yao Tieguo will make it for you in advance, if you don't go to the meal, it is also possible to eat. If it weren't for Yao's kitchen knife today, Lin Ziyi would definitely not be able to eat it. Soon, the three of them came to the back door of "Yao Ji", and as soon as they entered the door, Yao Kitchen Knife shouted inside: "Old man, I'll come back!"

Soon there was a voice as thick as a bell, it was Yao Tieguo: "You melon baby, if you don't come back, I'll treat you as a dead ball, if you die outside, Lao Tzu will save another coffin board money!"

"I said old man, you have to look at the time if you hurt me, there are guests next to you!"

"It turned out to be the baby of the Lin family, I and his grandfather are old acquaintances, we are all a family! Why are the clothes wet like this, come in, change into my grandson's clothes, I asked you Grandma Yao to call your grandfather, and said that you two will eat at Grandpa Yao's place today." I just made noodles today, but it's not beef noodles, so come in and I'll prepare some vegetarian food for you. Listen to you, come in and eat, don't leave until you're full!"

As soon as he heard that there was noodles to eat, Lin Ziyi's eyes began to light up again: "Hehe, thank you Grandpa Yao!"

"Dad, aren't you, isn't this welcome for me, as soon as you see the children of the Lin family, why do you even change the tone of your speech, it makes me sad too much. Yao complained.

"There's a lot of, I speak my hometown, and the kids can't understand it. Okay, let's get in!"

After entering the door, Lin Ziyi immediately went to the back room to change his clothes, and when he entered the living room again, the dining table was already full of bowls of noodles, and five plates of dishes of five colors. From a distance, each bowl was just simple noodles, covered with some unknown dishes, but just like that, Lin Ziyi couldn't wait.

"How is it, the baby of the Lin family, is my 'colorful noodles' beautiful, isn't it fragrant?" asked Yao Tieguo with a smug face.

"It's so beautiful, it's so fragrant, I just don't know how it tastes?"

"If you eat it, you'll know. ”

Lin Ziyi hurriedly found a place to sit down, and after serving a bowl of noodles, he was not in a hurry to eat, but carefully observed. It didn't matter what he saw, he was immediately fascinated by the colorful colors and pleasant aromas in front of him, and his saliva almost dripped out. When he saw the noodles in front of him, he realized that noodles can also be made so delicately and beautifully. There are five colors in the bowl: green and yellow for fresh bell peppers, red and black for fish roe like pearls, and noodles as delicate and silky as mutton fat and white jade. Gently pick up a few noodles and slowly suck them into your mouth, feeling smooth and smooth, full of strength. He had never eaten such a bouncy noodle before, and it was a little cold in his mouth, a little hot. He didn't recognize the red and black as roe, but he knew it must be delicious, so he took a bite of each, and it was firm in the mouth, chewy, delicious in the mouth, and endless in the aftertaste.

"Grandpa Yao, you must have chosen this name for this noodle because of the five colors in this bowl of noodles, right?"

"Well, smart! These 'colorful noodles' are green, yellow, red, white, and black, green and yellow are bell peppers, white are noodles, and red and black are the two types of caviar of the silverwing flying fish. ”

Hearing the word "flying fish", Lin Ziyi felt very novel, and immediately asked, "Can fish still fly?"

"That's right, the Silverwing Flying Fish is a flying fish, it can fly in the air for hours without entering the water, it has spines outside its body, the spines are poisonous, and there are almost no natural predators, so it is used by the merfolk to transmit messages. There are two types of roe in this fish, one black and one red. Although he is not as famous as the caviar made from sturgeon roe, the taste is definitely different, and the key is that this fish can only be caught by our demon cooks!"

"Why do there be two kinds of roe for one fish?"

"That's because the male of this fish produces black seeds, and the female fish produces red seeds, and the combination of the two sons is a silverwing flying fish!"

"Oh, yes, but I still don't get it. ”

Hearing this question, Yao Tieguo couldn't help but be speechless, and suddenly heard the animal world on TV, and immediately replied: "Go back and see more of the animal world, and you will understand, although there will be no such fish in it." ”

"Then Grandpa Yao, why is this noodle you made so playable and so strong?"

"Hehe, this is my unique secret recipe, I added the body fluids of the snow ice silkworm to the noodles! The snow ice silk is the softest and strongest thing in the world, and the flexibility is the first in the world. Once when I was in the noodles, one of the ice silkworms I raised climbed into the noodles while I was not paying attention, and by the time I found out that it was too late. At that time, I happened to be researching how to increase the elasticity of noodles, so I simply made a mistake, and added Suzaku tears to neutralize the cold poison of the ice silkworm. ”

"Yes, yes, that's how it feels, oh my God, Grandpa Yao, the noodles you made are so delicious, I'm sure I won't eat such delicious noodles again in the future!"

"Don't just eat noodles, try these five dishes, these five dishes plus the noodles I made, the full name is 'five full five color feast', five all refers to the ancient period, our ancestors divided the unintelligent creatures in the world into five kinds, namely flowers, birds, fish, insects, and beasts; Five dishes and five colors, try it. ”

"Wait a minute, Grandpa Yao, are there still five intelligent creatures, which are demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, and humans?"

"Yo, the little doll knows a lot. But now is not the time to talk about this, the task now is to eat!"

After listening to Yao Tieguo's words, Lin Ziyi ate a bite of the cyan dish first in the order of color. This is a vegetarian dish, the entrance is very crispy, and it is tender and juicy, the taste is a bit like a cold cucumber, but the taste is more like meat: "Grandpa Yao, is this dish vegetarian or meat?"

"It's vegetarian, it's a plant called carnivorous blue, and that's its root. Its roots are not used to absorb nutrients from the soil, but to increase grip. This plant often has to fight against some animals about the size of cats, so its roots are very thick and it is also the place where nutrients are most concentrated, so it is also the best to eat. This dish is simple and suitable for a variety of preparations, so I directly mixed it cold. And you don't need seasoning to make this dish, adding seasonings will only change the original taste of the dish, just add a small amount of salt. ”

Lin Ziyi picked up the second yellow dish and put it in his mouth. This time it was a meat dish, and he clearly felt that what was eating in his mouth was a kind of meat. The meat is very similar to chicken, but it doesn't feel like it: "Grandpa Yao, this dish is a bit like yellow stewed chicken, it tastes tender and smooth." ”

"The practice is indeed the practice of yellow stewed chicken, but this is not a chicken, but a yellow bird, but it is not the yellow eagle in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it appears at the same time as the blue bird, and it will not bring any disaster, in fact, they are both commonly used messenger tools of the demon clan. Since the message requires a long flight, the meat is tender, especially with braised chicken, and no matter how you do it, the color of the meat is still yellow. ”

Next came the third dish, which was obviously a red fish, which seemed to be braised in a braised sauce: "Grandpa Yao, this third dish should be braised fish, the color is so red, but I don't know what kind of fish it is." ”

"This dish is called red soup rouge, and the color of the rouge is gorgeous, and it is known as the 'Asian mermaid'. The most important thing to make cochineal is the word 'fresh', but it has a nickname called 'out of the river must die', so I specially instructed the fishermen to immediately disembowel and disembowel after being caught, and then keep it chilled, so as to ensure the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent. How's that, right?"

"Well, it's delicious, it's really fresh! This fourth dish should be silkworms, I'm a little afraid to eat it. Is it wrapped in a layer of ice on the outside, it's so beautiful, is this the snow ice silkworm?"

This is an ordinary silkworm, this dish is called the crystal ice silkworm, first wash the live silkworm, and then add the soup that has been boiled after the pre-blending to the special toon wood mold, and then put the live silkworm into it, and put it in the refrigerator to freeze after cooling, which makes this crystal ice silkworm. It looks crystal clear, tastes crisp and cool, sweet and sour, this is my exclusive invention!"

Listening to Yao Tieguo's words, Lin Ziyi was a little greedy again, hesitated for a long time, and finally put one in his mouth. After the first two hot and spicy dishes, I suddenly took a bite of the cold and sweet dish like a dessert, and once again there was a feeling of ice and fire. Fiery and spicy and icy sweet and sour are two extremes, but they complement each other, perfectly neutralized, like a duel on the tip of the tongue, regardless of the results, so that the tongue experiences the most perfect enjoyment, which can be described as endless!

After tasting the first four dishes, and the last black dish, Lin Ziyi couldn't tell what it was made of, but from the slices he could guess that it should be meat. Although it is black, the black is crystal clear, like a black gemstone, the oil shines, and the flesh aroma is bursting, which makes people salivate.

Sandwich a piece and put it in the mouth, the mellow aroma dissolves between the lips and teeth, the lean meat is flexible but not stiff, the meat skin is fat but not greasy, and a little smoky flavor makes the meat more refreshing.

"Grandpa Yao, this is ham, but why is this ham so dark, I have never eaten it before, but it is delicious. ”

"This is a unique black dragon pig in Dragon Village, it is said that it is a breed crossed between a dragon and a pig in ancient times, as fierce as a bear, not only the fur is black, the raw meat is also black and red, rich in nutrition, the meat is fatty and delicate, salted and then smoked by cypress branches, it looks like a black jewel, I named it Black Jewel Ham!"

"Hey, it's a pity that Senior Brother Wuming doesn't eat such a delicious dish, and there are grandparents, and my parents can't eat it!"

"Boy, it's good to have you to eat, hurry up and eat, my store is open here and won't run, if your family wants to eat, our family is welcome at any time!"

"Well, my uncle is right, there is wine today and I am drunk today, so I will eat it first. ”

"The stinky boy is still reciting poetry, such a good dish can't stop your mouth. ”

So, Yao Tieguo's family and Lin Ziyi's brothers had a happy meal together!
