"Girl, are you here?" The old man suddenly turned around, looked at Lin Xiaozhu, and beckoned to her with a smile, "Come, come here." ”

"What is this?" Lin Xiaozhu walked over and looked at the desk curiously.

The old man looked at the bottles and cans on the stage, and said proudly: "I'm teaching you how to become a master." ”

"Master?" Lin Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment and raised his face, "But I don't even understand the most basic things, such as how to cut shredded radish into thin and even like hair, how to hollow out bean sprouts and fill crab meat, how to make a cabbage more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas......"

The old man was about to reprimand her first sentence for "nonsense", but when he heard the back, his face showed surprise, and then his eyebrows twisted slightly, and he fell into contemplation. Who can make cabbage more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas? Where have you eaten such a dish? I've tasted all the delicious food in the world, why haven't I heard of such a delicacy? ”

"Ugh." Lin Xiaozhu scratched his head, "I came up with it myself and said it nonsense." In the novels she read in her previous life, she said the author's nonsense or modern dishes, but she didn't expect the old man to have such a big reaction. Although I don't know what kind of Taoism the old man is, he is not crazy or demonic. The old man was able to leave his attendants and run to this Qingxi town alone, just to taste the taste of fish, this craze for food, and now the frighteningly bright eyes, which made her heart beat a drum, and she decided to be cautious in her words and deeds in the future.

"Nonsense?" The old man was irresponsible by Lin Xiaozhu's enthusiasm and hope, and was splashed with cold water by her fluttering four words, his face was hot and cold, red and white, and he opened his mouth to reprimand her for not talking nonsense, but he was reluctant to reprimand her for coming up with such a dish.

After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed his negative emotions, patted Lin Xiaozhu's head, and smiled: "I didn't expect that I just saw that you had a good heart and a good heart, so I decided to accept you as an apprentice, but I didn't want to meet a child with such good qualifications." Good, good, that's great. ”

Lin Xiaozhu was stunned. Good qualifications? Just more than 20 days ago, she was slapped on the wrist by the goatee Yuan Lin, and she was judged to have bad qualifications. But now, just because he casually said two imaginary dishes, he was judged to have good qualifications? Why does she think that these people judge whether other people's qualifications are good or not, just as casually as eating and drinking, and they come when they open their mouths?

Seeing Lin Xiaozhu's confused face, the old man didn't explain to her, pulled her to the desk, and stuffed a glass of water in her hand: "Come, you taste everything on the desk, and then tell me what you can feel." ”

Although he didn't know what the old man meant by this, Lin Xiaozhu obediently dipped his chopsticks in a little black stuff in the jar and tasted it. Just now, she found that these bottles and cans contained all kinds of seasonings, salt, sugar, sauce, vinegar, and there were several kinds of each.

"Sweet noodle sauce." Lin Xiaozhu put down his chopsticks and said very decisively. Then pick up the next one, stick out your pink tongue and lick it: "Tahini." ”

"Caviar."

"Shrimp paste."

"Fava bean paste."

……

Although Lin Xiaozhu was born at the grassroots in his previous life and did not eat many good things, he was stronger than the ordinary people in ancient times. In addition, she has an extremely sharp tongue, and as long as she tastes the taste and thinks of the insights of her previous life, she can easily recognize the names of these sauces.

As Lin Xiaozhu reported his name, the old man's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the expression on his face became more and more excited.

"Hey, what is this?" Lin Xiaozhu's footsteps finally stopped in front of a sauce, and the light in his eyes flashed even more than that of the old man, "This taste...... It's wonderful. ”

"Sen-chan. Steamed peach leaves and sealed into jars; After seven days, take it out and put it in a place where the sun does not see it for seven days, and then add salt according to the ratio of two taels of salt per catty of peach leaves, which is fairy sauce. The old man's eyes lit up and he explained quickly.

Lin Xiaozhu tilted his head, memorized the old man's words, moved to the next jar, picked up the spoon and tasted it: "This is soy sauce?" Hey, no, it's different from ordinary soy sauce, it has a smoother texture than soy sauce, and the taste is more delicious. Well...... It seems to have a bit of a bamboo shoot flavor. ”

The old man said approvingly: "This is bamboo shoot oil." When making dried bamboo shoots in the south, the juice of the boiled bamboo shoots is never changed, and the color of this juice is black, and the taste is delicious and mellow. This is a good thing, and only the monks who live in the mountains have the opportunity to enjoy it, and ordinary people rarely get it. ”

Lin Xiaozhu nodded, walked to the next jar, tasted it, frowned and pondered for a long time, raised his head and asked, "What is this?" How is it like salt water? However, the smell of this water seems to be a little more flirtatious than ordinary water. ”

The old man's hand stroking his beard froze in mid-air, and he looked at Lin Xiaozhu with his eyes open, like looking at a monster.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaozhu touched his face, a little inexplicable.

After a long while, the old man sighed and sighed: "The sauce in front of you has a strong taste, as long as you taste it once or twice, as long as you are not particularly dull and stupid, you can recognize it." So it's not unusual for you to be able to name it as soon as you taste it. Until the bamboo shoot oil, you start to surprise me. But you can actually taste the difference between this jar of salt water, and you can accurately say the difference between it and ordinary water, the word frivolous, extremely subtle...... Girl, your tongue is not simple, it is half as good as the old man and me. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Lin Xiaozhu couldn't cry or laugh. Is this old man praising her, or is he praising himself?

"It's pickled snow." The old man said solemnly, "When it snows in the wax moon, a layer of snow and a layer of salt are sealed and stored in an urn. In the summer, take a spoonful from the urn to cook fresh meat, you don't need to put anything else, the meat tastes the same as freshly marinated cured meat, the color of the meat is bright red and beautiful, and it will not spoil for a few days. Use it to cook other dishes or make sauces, and it tastes great. ”

"It's snow." Lin Xiaozhu's eyes were also bright. She knew that her body's tongue was sharp, but she didn't know that it was so powerful, she could even taste snow water, and she couldn't help but feel a little complacent in her heart.

Zhang Dong listened to the old man's explanation on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "Master Xue, when you say this, even the little ones understand the use of this pickled snow." But those fairy sauces and bamboo shoot oils in front, why don't you tell Xiaozhu girl about their usage? ”

The old man glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear: "Girl, do you want to ask what they are used for?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu shook his head: "I've tasted the taste, and I know how they taste, so it's fine." ”

"Oh? Explain why. The smile on the old man's face grew brighter and brighter.
