【102】Shuren Valley Food
Tempting food always leaves foodies wanting more.
Zheng Wenlou delayed a little time, and after unloading the bear paws, he began to work in the kitchen.
The huge kitchen is like a fantasy scene of "good dreams" stored in the movie "Dream Giant".
The water fairy lanterns hanging from the walls make this otherwise dimly lit space very dazzling.
In the glorious reflection, the meticulously carved storage cabinets, sinks, seasoning jars, ovens, stone stoves, steamers, bracket hooks, pots and pans and other kitchen utensils are placed in an orderly manner, and even the details such as drainage channels and vents are also designed to be quite reasonable and beautiful.
A comfortable environment always makes people feel good.
At this time, Zheng Wenlou hummed an unknown song and stood in front of the desk to make the final treatment of the bear paw.
The golden sparks next to it overflowed from the oven, and there was a crackling sound, and the red flame seedlings under the stone stove also made the surface of the bulky solid wood steamer begin to become warm, and even the humble little mandarin duck pot was steaming.
The first one is wrapped in plant leaves and wet mud, which can be put into the oven and simmered in charcoal; the second one is cut into thin slices after removing the peculiar smell with ginger and shallots and juice, which can be put into the spicy soup and brushed into the mandarin duck pot; the third one is completely unprocessed and put into the steamer for cooking; as for the last one, of course, it is cut into minced meat and boiled porridge for Xiaotong.
Now the "Chambord Orchard" has a good harvest, and there is no shortage of rice for Xiaotong to boil porridge, but it is a bit troublesome to make rice, and he needs to lick the rice, that is, to hull the millet.
Zheng Wenlou's tool for scooping rice is a bit like a medicine pot, where the millet is placed in a stone pan container and smashed with a stone mallet, and after the rice bran on the surface of the millet is smashed off, the white rice is sifted out with the dustpan he brought back from the vegetable market.
Such meticulous work is really not an easy job for him who is huge, but fortunately, only Xiaotong eats rice in the Tree Man Valley, and the demand is not very large, and he can also hand over the work of sieving rice to Q boys.
Zheng Wenlou put the cut minced bear paw meat into the boiling rice porridge and boiled it again, usually Xiaotong didn't eat much, so he pickled most of the remaining bear paws and hung them in a ventilated place, dried naturally, and kept them for later boiling.
Time flies by, and the aroma gradually spreads in the kitchen.

"Let's see if my skills improve. ”
Zheng Wenlou, who was already a little impatient, dug out the bear's paws buried in the charcoal fire in the oven, he gently lifted the corner of the leaf, and then cut off small pieces of meat and put them into the sauce, this sauce is the finished product after many attempts, the ingredients are made of thirteen kinds of pollen plants and animal oils, and then with pepper garlic cloves and lime juice picked from the "Chambord Orchard", dip a little on the meat slices, the taste is delicious, the taste is crispy and unique, and it instantly makes him eat fragrant and appetite.
"Sure enough, there is some truth to the fact that the bear's paw is so famous. ”
The aftertaste appeared on Zheng Wenlou's face, and then he immediately put all the prepared food on the plate and served it outside, and even didn't forget to take the mandarin duck pot away.
If you look closely, you can find that Xiao Tong has an erratic "screen" in front of him, and there are all kinds of mountains and rivers on it, but Zheng Wenlou is no longer surprised, and even when he is about to get closer, Xiao Tong, who is watching the "TV series" with the Q boys, suddenly blocked the "screen" and did not give him a father, which made him very speechless and helpless, and he couldn't think of the new ability to relieve his daughter.
"Xiaotong, it's time to eat!"
Zheng Wenlou walked over with a smile, secretly looked at it with his spare eyes, and then put the steaming mandarin duck pot on the special huge dining table, with a hollow round mouth in the middle of the table, just enough to heat the mandarin duck pot underneath, and after the tableware and food were placed, he took Xiaotong out of the encirclement of many Q boy cute beasts...
It's an open-plan restaurant with a view of the dungeon.
I saw a huge tree man sitting in front of a huge dining table in the open space surrounded by flowers and vegetation, and there was a meaty little girl dangling her little feet in the high baby chair next to her, and the little girl seemed to have just learned to use a spoon, holding a small wooden bowl and digging into it a little clumsily, so that the napkin around her mouth and neckline was full of traces left by food.
Looking near the open space and on the tabletop, there are still a lot of Q cute beasts jumping up and down to play, and sometimes they will curiously steal some fruit wine and meat slices to eat, and are dissatisfied and blamed by the "pagoda dish Rulai" who acts as a waiter.
The meal time is always so relaxed and cozy, such a picture is reminiscent of the scene when the female protagonist meets the male protagonist Mad Hatter in the movie "Alice in Wonderland 1", everything seems so warm, fantastical and incredible!
Such an idea happened to coincide with Zheng Wenlou, when he saw his daughter's clumsy appearance eating, he thought it was very interesting, and then he couldn't help but find the Polaroid camera and take a few photos of his daughter as a souvenir.
"In the future, when there are more wisdom members, you can try a Shuren Valley Food Festival, you don't have to do it yourself, just sit and eat as a judge. Looking at the photos in his hand, the ill-intentioned Zheng Wenlou began to look forward to the days of the landlord who "opened his mouth for food and stretched out his hand for clothes".
Xiao Tong, who was ignorant and sensible, was also interested in such a magical thing as a camera, and leaned over to Zheng Wenlou with his little head, which made him feel his heart move.
"The camera is for you to play with, but can you let Dad look at your 'screen' too?"
Zheng Wenlou stretched out his hand and gestured at Xiaotong's 'screen', which made Xiaotong's eyes widen, and he instantly turned his head over, and the angry little expression seemed to say: Don't even think about it.
"Uh, okay. ”
Zheng Wenlou smiled awkwardly.
It seems that he often asks his daughters to cultivate plants with green light, causing Xiaotong to be reluctant to show his new abilities, even if he lets the strange beasts and Q boys watch, he doesn't let him, a father, look at it.
Who says children are easy to coax?
Xiaotong's ability to do things is simply terrifying.
.........

After drinking and eating, Zheng Wenlou remembered the black bear whose palm was removed.
The dying black bear in the kitchen was almost burping.
Now it's completely relying on the strong physique of the animal to hang on to breathe.
Black bears, of course, can't die.
In this way, he will have a steady stream of bear's paws in the future.
However, there were some small problems when Xiaotong was treated.
For the black bear, Xiao Tong has no interest in using green light to heal him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to use green blood to help the black bear survive.
The preliminarily evolved black bear resembles the giant short-faced bear that lived more than 2 million years ago, and it is the largest bear species that paleontologists have ever found on Earth, and the most striking feature is its long limbs, which have stood more than 4 meters tall, except for the large mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs.
Strength aside, what makes Zheng Wenlou cry and laugh is that the black bear that has evolved and recovered is like a licking dog, knowing that Xiaotong is not satisfied with it, it still has to come up with its eyes, this appearance is no different from licking a dog, the more you lick it, the more fragrant it is.
"Just go outside and guard the door. ”
Zheng Wenlou looked at Xiaotong's unhappy appearance, obviously still thinking about the previous things, in order to take care of his daughter's little emotions, he directly sent the black bear to the old site of the Shuren Valley to guard the door, it just so happened that in "Journey to the West", there was also a black bear spirit that was accepted by Guanyin as the god of guarding the mountain.
