Uncle Guo looked at his beloved apprentice, adopted son and prospective son-in-law with a little complicated eyes, with a little appreciation and a trace of worry, seeing that he finally recognized Yao Tiantian's statement, he finally nodded with satisfaction, his eyes turned to Yao Tiantian's face, and said with expectation, "Sweet girl, now tell Uncle about the recipe of "Mountain Family Qing Offering". ”

"Okay" Yao Tiantian nodded generously, thought for a while, and said, "Our generation produces celery, so I'll recite a recipe about celery cooking, it has a nice name, it's called Bijian soup." ”

In fact, as early as when Yao Tiantian was about to talk about the recipe of "Mountain Family Qing Offering", the young man of Yaoxiang had already opened this ancient recipe for him, and turned to the page of Bijian Soup, and quietly reminded her: "Some plant raw materials may not be available in this time and space, that is, celery is common here, let's talk about this recipe." ”

Yao Tiantian glanced at the introduction on the LCD screen in front of her, word by word, and slowly recited: "Qin Chu, Caiye, also known as Shui Ying." There are two kinds: the root of the celery, and the leaves and stems of the celery, both of which are edible. In February and March, when the soup is picked, washed and burned in the soup, it is taken out with bitter wine, and the sesame seeds are ground with bitter wine, a little salt is added, and the fennel is stained with it, which can be used as a mushroom. But those who are degraded and soup are clear and sweet, and they are still green. ”

After Yao Tiantian finished speaking, looking at Xiangzi and Uncle Guo's somewhat confused eyes, she turned her eyes, smiled lightly, and pretended to be her uncle's words to translate the recipe of this crepe, "I like to eat celery, so I begged my uncle to explain this dish: Qin Chu, is a dish, also called Shuiying." There are two kinds: one is called celery, which is eaten from the roots, and the other is called celery, which can be eaten by taking leaves and stems. In February and March, when you want to make soup, you will pick it, wash it and put it in boiling water, scald it and take it out, grind sesame seeds with bitter wine, add a little salt, and soak it with fennel, which can be used as a side dish. And using it to cook soup, it is fresh and fragrant, just like the clear water of a mountain stream. ”

Hearing Yao Tiantian's translation, Uncle Guo and Xiangzi finally came to their senses and showed a happy look. However, in this way, Yao Tiantian was puzzled, the recipe of the mountain and sea soup that Xiangzi recited yesterday was also so literate, if they didn't understand classical Chinese, what was the recipe?

Yao Tiantian was puzzled, quietly observed the expressions of Uncle Guo and Xiangzi, and slowly said another recipe, "Qingjing rice, the first one, Chonggu also." According to "Materia Medica": "Southern candle wood, now known as black rice grass, also known as dry lotus grass. "That is, Qingjingya. Pick branches and leaves and pound the juice, soak the white japonica rice, no matter how much, wait for one or two o'clock, the steamed rice is exposed to dry, hard and blue, and stored. If you use it, use boiling water first, measure it in meters, and cook it to make rice. Water should not be too much, and it should not be less. Long-term service prolongs life. The immortal side has green essence stone rice, and the world does not know why the stone is. According to the "Materia Medica", use three catties of bluestone grease and a bucket of green sorghum rice, soak it in water for three days, pound it into a pill, such as Li Da, take it with white soup, and one or two pills can not be hungry. It is known that the stone is also fat. The two methods are well-founded, the first mountain dwelling for guests, then the former method should be used, if you want to follow the ovary valley, when the latter method should be used. ”

After finishing speaking, Yao Tiantian did not continue to speak of the translation. Xiangzi, who is obsessed with cooking but has never read any books, waited for Yao Tiantian to translate, waited for a long time, and still didn't see Yao Tiantian explain, Xiangzi was so anxious that his face turned red, and he stammered, "Sweet, Master Tianniu, this, how to make this green rice?" ”

Although Uncle Guo didn't speak, his waiting eyes were no more relaxed than Xiangzi's anxious face, and he subconsciously trembled his calves slightly to betray his panic and anticipation.

Confirming that Uncle Guo and Xiangzi really don't understand Chinese, Yao Tiantian showed the doubts in her heart on her face, she tilted her head, and seemed to say to herself, "I, I don't know, my uncle didn't explain this recipe to me, I still think Brother Xiangzi can tell me about it." ”

"Me?" Xiangzi's eyes widened suddenly, pointed to the tip of his nose and said, embarrassed to say, "I, I, I haven't read a book, how can I understand such a recipe, I only heard that it mentions "Materia Medica" and "Materia Medica", it seems that this dish still has pharmacology, and how to do it, I really don't understand it at all. ”

Xiangzi said, looking at his master and owner Uncle Guo for help, after getting the same anxious and helpless eyes, he still pinned his hope on Yao Tiantian, and begged, "You have been with your uncle for these days, and you have always learned some classical Chinese, you can help me explain." ”

"That's not right, Brother Xiangzi" Yao Tiantian seemed to suddenly remember something, tilted her head and said, "I remember that the recipe of Shanhai soup that Brother Xiangzi said yesterday is also recorded like this, how can you understand?" Why don't you understand this green rice? ”

Yao Tiantian mentioned the recipe of Shanhai Soup, and the anxious Xiangzi shrank for a moment, consciously made a big mistake and glanced at Uncle Guo, and hung his head guiltily. Uncle Guo's face was tangled, about the time of a cup of tea, he finally made up his mind.

Uncle Guo slowly sat back in his seat, and said with a confused look on his face:

One afternoon more than a year ago, Xiangzi and his friends were sent to buy vegetables and vegetables, Guo Dongqing was sleepy guarding the Guo family restaurant, and suddenly an old Taoist priest in a green shirt came to the store and asked him if he wanted his Guo family restaurant to become famous in ten miles and eight towns, Guo Dongqing naturally wanted to, but he didn't believe that such a good thing could fall on his head.

Guo Dongqing made the best tea in the store for this strange old Taoist priest, and observed it for a long time, only then did he become convinced that this strange Taoist priest was indeed a real Taoist priest, not a pretend, and it seemed that there was indeed no malicious intent.

The Taoist priest in the green shirt was very simple, and directly took out the recipe of 'Shanhai Soup', and explained the text on it to Guo Dongqing in detail, saying that there was only one condition, that is, let him take this dish as a signature dish and publicize it widely among the ten miles and eight towns, but told him that the origin of this recipe could not be revealed to others.

Guo Dongqing followed the instructions of the old Taoist priest, did not tell others about how to get the recipe, but quietly showed the recipe to Xiangzi, and then the master and apprentice spent a lot of money to buy bamboo shoots from other places, with local fish and shrimp, according to the method handed over by the old Taoist, and finally made a delicious mountain and sea soup.

Guo Dongqing was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed out this dish, as expected by the old Taoist, not long after the launch of Shanhai Soup, Guojia Restaurant was immediately known by everyone, and even the rich and noble families in Ning County came to eat this dish.

However, although this mountain and sea soup is delicious, it is also recognized by everyone. However, its main ingredient bamboo shoots are not easy to obtain, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they are particularly expensive, and the materials are often broken in the restaurant. Yesterday, after Xiangzi heard Yao Tiantian say that he had seen bamboo shoots nearby, he was happy for a while, and told the recipe of this soup, hoping to buy raw materials directly from Yangjiatun, then the profit of their restaurant would be doubled.

Afterwards, Xiangzi told Guo Dongqing about this incident, wanting to buy bamboo shoots from Yangjiatun nearby, but worried that the owner would blame him for leaking the secret recipe of Shanhai Soup. After Guo Dongqing found out, he asked Xiangzi not to mention this topic again for the time being, and he quietly observed that this teenage clever little girl was coming.

As a result, he hadn't seen through Yao Tiantian, Yao Tiantian threw out two famous recipes of "Food Treasures" and "Shanjia Qing Offering", and frankly told the secret recipes of Bijian soup and green essence rice, so that Guo Dongqing was both moved and ashamed, so he told the origin of the secret recipe of Shanhai soup in the original way.

After Guo Dongqing finished speaking, he hung his head slightly and said, "Sweet girl, it's the villain's heart to be an uncle, you are a frank child, and the uncle won't hide it from you, you will keep it a secret for the uncle, right?" ”

Yao Tiantian nodded and assured, "Uncle Guo, don't worry, I won't go out and talk nonsense." ”

said it in his mouth, but added in his heart, I won't say this, I can just know it. The secret recipe of this mountain and sea soup was deliberately released by someone, and he is still a Taoist priest, an old Taoist priest, it should not be Wei Xingyan. What is the connection between them?

It should not be accidental that the old Taoist priest chose a restaurant in Qingshui Town. In the final analysis, this matter has to be found on the word 'mountains and seas', because there is nothing suspicious in the way this dish is made, that is, the name is strange, is the other party startling the snake?

Yao Tiantian secretly pondered, Guo Dongqing opened his mouth again, he looked at Yao Tiantian's face, and asked with a little caution, "Now that Tianniu has known the biggest secret of our Guo family restaurant, are you willing to help Uncle find the nearby bamboo shoots?" ”

"This is easy to say" Yao Tiantian temporarily suppressed the messy thoughts in her heart, and said with a smile, "Our Yangjiatun mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the bamboo shoots produced must be very good, if we can supply the famous Guojia Restaurant in the township, it is also a financial road for the villagers, which is beneficial to both parties, and I am naturally willing to do it." ”

"Then this matter, Uncle will ask you to be injured, and when Xiangzi's injury is recuperated, let him go to Yangjiatun to find you." When Uncle Guo heard that Yao Tiantian agreed so happily, he immediately became happy, as if he was not facing a teenage girl, but an adult.

Grandma Huniu listened silently for a long time, and when she heard her son say that she wanted Xiangzi to go to Yangjiatun, she immediately interjected, "When Xiangzi goes, she will go to Huniu a little, let her aunt take care of her, and also go to read some books and read braille with Mr. Yao in Yangjiatun." ”
