Chapter 268: The Taste on the Tip of the Tongue
Looking at the two people standing in one place, who were talented and affectionate, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao, who was staring at the dishes with his mouth shut, Xiao Wenzhuo sighed leisurely.
"You go and beckon Brother Xiao and they take a seat, I still have to be busy." Lin Xiaozhu saw Yuan Shi take out the ant eggs from the pot and pushed Yuan Tianye. She had to sneak a taste of the ant egg before everyone ate to see if it was poisonous.
Yuan Tianye followed her gaze and took a look, and he had a number in his heart. But he didn't speak, watching Lin Xiaozhu walk forward and talk to Yuan Shi, Yuan Shi put down the bowl of ant eggs and turned his head to serve other dishes. Only then did he walk up and stand behind Lin Xiaozhu. Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of ant eggs and was about to send them to his mouth, he quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed her hand, and said, "Okay, let's eat it secretly." Then he took the spoon and put it in his mouth.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lin Xiaozhu was anxious and reached out to grab it. However, where is she Yuan Tianye's opponent? When his hand reached over, the spoon in Yuan Tianye's hand had already become emptyβall the ant eggs had been eaten by him.
"You ......" Lin Xiaozhu naturally knew that he grabbed his ant eggs to eat, not because he was greedy, but because he was worried that something would happen to him, and he was moved and worried in his heart, looking at Yuan Tianye's handsome face and looking at his gentle gaze, his eyes slowly floated
There was a mist.
"Silly girl." Yuan Tianye stretched out his hand and brushed her eyes.
Thinking that there were still people around, Lin Xiaozhu blinked in embarrassment and turned his head. Then he turned around in a veiled manner, stared at Yuan Tianye and asked, "Is it delicious?" β
Yuan Tianye smacked his lips and blinked his eyes: "I ate too fast just now, and I didn't have time to chew." He looked at Lin Xiaozhu very aggrievedly, "You don't worry about whether I'm uncomfortable at this time, but ask if it's delicious." It's so unconscionable. β
Lin Xiaozhu was angry and funny, and stretched out his hand to twist him: "I naturally know that this thing is not poisonous, so I dare to use it for cooking." Just taste it. It's just to reassure your hearts. β
"Hey, Lin Xiaozhu, is the dish ready? I am hungry. Shen Ziyi couldn't see the two of them flirting. Loud voice.
"Oh, alright." Lin Xiaozhu was busy staying away from Yuan Tianye.
Yuan Tianye also ignored Shen Ziyi. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Wenzhuo standing alone on the edge of the woods, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he shouted, "Wenzhuo, it's time to eat." Although he was a little unhappy with Xiao Wenzhuo's actions just now, he was the master after all, and Xiao Wenzhuo was also kind to him, and he always had to give face that should be given. The main thing is: Xiao Wenzhuo did not do any substantial harm to Lin Xiaozhu.
"Okay, here." Xiao Wenzhuo adjusted his mood and walked up quickly.
Shen Ziyi is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, since he has traveled thousands of miles to travel, the equipment on the car is naturally extremely sophisticated. No, a square table and a few stools on the grass were collapsible things that had been taken down from his car. And there were seven or eight dishes on the table. After eating the rabbit roasted by Lin Xiaozhu just now, Xiao Wenzhuo looked forward to the dishes on the table for no reason.
"Come, Wenzhuo. Sit. Yuan Tianye pulled Xiao Wenzhuo to sit in the position of host and guest.
Everyone sat down in turn, with Xiao Xiao and Shen Ziyi here, everyone would not be polite, and Yuan Tianye said a kind word to Xiao Wenzhuo. And he set to motion.
"Come, let's try this roasted winter bamboo shoot first." Lin Xiaozhu said.
It's not that she wants to exercise the right of a hostess, but because she is quite particular about what she eats first and what she eats later. Yuan Mei said in his "Suiyuan Food List" that the order of serving should be: "The salty one should come first, and the light one should be last; The thick ones go first, and the refreshing ones go up; Those without soup should be served first, and those with soup should be served later. β
This is mainly because before eating, the mouth is relatively light, and if you eat something light at this time, it will feel light and tasteless. On the contrary, eat salty food first, the taste is strong, and when you eat more and more salty, suddenly come to a light food, or a bowl of soup, that is, there is no salt in the food or soup, everyone will feel very refreshing, and the taste is just right.
Several dishes here can be described as mountain delicacies, whether it is a flying dragon or an ant egg, they are all extremely delicious. In addition, while waiting just now, everyone was already hungry. Therefore, Lin Xiaozhu hopes that the picnic made by her hand this time can leave a deep impression on everyone's minds, and naturally she doesn't want everyone to eat indiscriminately. Eat the most flavorful roast chicken and rabbit first, then eat roasted winter bamboo shoots, followed by a bowl of dragon soup, and finally eat rice, winter melon, pumpkin and other foods, and then finish with a delicious ant egg that shines like fireworks, that is the real perfection.
This meal was made by Lin Xiaozhu, and since she strongly recommended roasted winter bamboo shoots, everyone naturally had to save face. Xiao Xiao picked up a winter bamboo shoot, looked left and right, raised her eyes and said curiously, "How do you eat this thing?" β
"Peel off." Lin Xiaozhu demonstrated.
This roasted winter bamboo shoot is a dish with a mountain flavor. Because the shell of the winter bamboo shoots has no hair, she only washes off the mud on the shell, and then puts it in a pot to soak a piece of water, so that the oxalic acid contained in the bamboo shoots is removed, and the little astringency in the bamboo shoots is removed; Then cut off the roots of the bamboo shoots to reveal a bit of bamboo shoot flesh; Then use the arrow to pierce the middle, and the hollow part in the middle of the bamboo shoot is exposed. She stuffed a finger-sized piece of ham into the hollow, plugged the hole with bamboo leaves, and roasted it over the fire. In this way, the salty aroma of the ham slowly seeps into the bamboo shoots, and when the shell is roasted over the fire, the bamboo shoots naturally have a completely different smoke aroma from the boiled ones.
The aroma of the roast, the crispness and sweetness of the bamboo shoots, and the salty aroma of the ham meat, form a unique taste, plus you need to peel it by hand, peel several layers of bamboo shoot shells, in order to eat a few bites, it is completely a shallow taste, and the aftertaste is endless. This made several princes and princesses who usually even had to distribute dishes in front of them very interested, and they ate this often eaten bamboo shoot with a completely different flavor.
Seeing that everyone finished eating the roasted winter bamboo shoots as if they were robbing, Lin Xiaozhu gave everyone another bowl of flying dragon soup. This flying dragon is just like Yuan Tianye's confession, only cut the meat into thin slices, put it into a pot of boiling water, and add a little salt. The color of the soup is crystal clear, the meat is snow-white and delicate, and a strange fragrance refreshes people's hearts. If it weren't for the fact that everyone had eaten the flying dragon and had a certain immunity to this fragrance, the first thing to grab should be this pot of flying dragon soup.
When they got this bowl of soup, everyone was silent. When I ate bamboo shoots just now, this soup is just at a moderate temperature, not cold or hot. At this time, everyone just took the spoon and lowered their heads to drink the soup.
Lin Xiaozhu put the bowl in front of his nose first, took a deep breath, and kept this strange fragrance firmly in his mind, then picked up the spoon, slowly put it in his mouth, and let the soup flow into his mouth, not in a hurry to swallow it, but let the soup stay on the tongue, and let the unusually delicious taste enter the brain with the taste, and then swallowed it slowly.
After swallowing, she suddenly felt like crying. No wonder people say "dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground", no wonder people say that this is a rare delicacy in the world. It turns out that it tastes like this! Traveling through the millennium yourself, isn't it just for it? Such a delicious beauty that I don't know what words to describe is the meaning of her traveling to ancient times? She has traveled through thousands of years and been a subordinate for a few years, and it is worth it for this delicious taste.
"Come, I'll serve you a bowl." Yuan Tianye stretched out his hand, took the empty bowl in Lin Xiaozhu's hand, filled her with another bowl of Feilong soup, and then whispered in her ear: "I like to eat, in the future, I will ask my subordinates to come here often to collect some, and transport it back to make soup for you to drink with ice, and I will make it for you myself." β
"Xiaozhu, we've all eaten this flying dragon before, but you haven't eaten it. Try more today. Shen Ziyi also said. He only drank a bowl of soup and let Shen Gui serve rice. This soup is not delicious, it's not bad, he wants to drink less, Lin Xiaozhu can drink more.
"Okay." Lin Xiaozhu nodded, but did not raise his eyes. She was afraid that if she raised her eyes, the mist in her eyes would be seen.
"Miss Lin, haven't you ever eaten a flying dragon before? In the future, you will come to our Xiling as a guest, we have a lot of delicious things in Xiling, I invite you to eat. Xiao Xiao drank two bowls of soup in a row, covered her mouth with satisfaction, and said happily.
"Okay." Lin Xiaozhu smiled, blinked twice, then raised his head and glanced at Xiao Wenzhuo, but he was facing his deep gaze.
Seeing Lin Xiaozhu looking at him, Xiao Wenzhuo stretched out the spoon to the ant egg, looked at her and asked, "Can I eat this?" β
"Nature." Lin Xiaozhu didn't understand if he wanted to release his kindness or just want to eat the dish, but she didn't bother to guess. There are some people who are just passers-by in her life. She didn't have to care about what they thought of her, whether they were good or evil.
At this time, everyone has been conquered by the deliciousness, and at this time, seeing Xiao Wenzhuo eating the ant egg, he was not as disgusted as he was at the beginning, and they all stopped their chopsticks curiously, watched him put a spoonful of ant eggs in his mouth, and then wondered how he felt.
"Brother, how is it?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Wenzhuo's eating movements were very elegant, slowly pursing his lips and chewing the contents of his mouth, feeling the elastic ant egg bursting softly between the tips of his tongue and lips at the moment he bit down, and then a delicious taste permeated the entire mouth, and this deliciousness was not inferior to the flying dragon just now. He nodded lightly and praised sincerely: "The taste is extremely delicious, everyone can taste it." β
Xiao Xiao's eldest brother, who has always heard few words of praise, gave such an evaluation, where did he still think that this was an ant egg? Quickly stretched out the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and then, there was a popping sound in her mouth, she felt very interesting, and while eating, she ignored the dining etiquette and said: "It's delicious, it's delicious."
