Back in the wilderness, Xu Zheng immediately went into the kitchen and mysteriously locked himself in the kitchen, not even Lucina was allowed to enter.
After a while, Ingres came, and when he entered the door, he shouted, "What's the good thing?"
Taipan said: "I don't know. Xu Zheng only said that it was delicious. He also said what tests he was going to do. We won't see until the evening. Oh, by the way, he also asked me to remind you to eat less at noon and better not to eat dinner. β
"Interesting!" Angel came up and said, "Okay, I'm out of the way, I won't even eat lunch!"
Lu Qi said, "Does he cook barbecue again?" She was very impressed by the barbecue on the way back to the imperial capital. The incomparably delicious barbecue only ate a little bit before the demonic beast Lulu was interrupted halfway. Every time she remembered it, she hated Lulu.
Taipan shook his head and said, "Probably not, I didn't see him buy meat." Except for a chicken, the rest was all vegetables and stuff. β
Angleci said, "It's the vegetables that we usually have, and a chicken, and what special things can these make? I can understand the roast chicken." I've never heard of grilled vegetables. Hehe. β
Taipan nodded. He said: "The meat last time was not our usual dried meat, and Xu Zheng also had a way to make it delicious, I don't know what weird he was going to do this time." β
Angel smiled: "He's Xu Zheng, and his weird skills are endless, anyway, I'm looking forward to it." Hey, wait, you'll know in the evening. β
This waited from near noon until the beginning of the lanterns. Halfway, I only heard Xu Zheng shouting: "Xiaoban, where is the salt?"
Little Ben ran to get him salt.
After a while, I heard the call: "Hey, Taipan, I can't find where the cutting board is." Why are you all so stuffed everywhere?" Taipan ran to find him a cutting board again.
Then the summons came: "Angels, are you free?" Can you help me sharpen some wooden or bamboo skewers or something. It should be a foot long, and the citrus stalk should be as thick. Ingres had to force his curiosity and took out a dagger to sharpen a wooden skewer for him. As for bamboo sticks, the first time I heard about bamboo, I didn't know anything. Anyway, there are a lot of strange words coming out of Xu Zheng's mouth, and several people are used to it, and if the parties don't explain, a few people just don't hear it and skip it directly.
Several people were sent by him to support them, and even Lu Qi did not escape, Xu Zheng borrowed 30 silver coins and went outside to buy a few catties of cooking oil. Several people were called by Xu Zheng to turn around like *** lights, and finally even the two old men guarding the wine tank became interested. Turning my attention here, I wonder what this eccentric teenager is going to do with something interesting.
However, this time Xu Zheng maintained absolute mystery and secrecy, that is, no one was allowed to enter the kitchen, and he was the only one who was sneaking around inside. At noon, Lucina really couldn't see that the two old people were also starving, so she endured the pain and took out the money to ask Xiaoban to go outside to buy some food and come back to solve the problem of people's livelihood.
In the evening, Carlo returned from the mercenary group, but did not receive the task, and felt a little depressed, and walked back to the field. As soon as I entered, I saw a group of people all there, all sitting in the hall, staring at the closed kitchen door with the few drinkers.
Carlo said, "I'm hungry, what do you have to eat?
Lucy tilted her mouth and said, "Uncle Carlo, are you hungry too? I'm even hungrier, I didn't dare to eat more at noon, and I didn't dare to eat dinner, all because of that guy's words." β
"Xu Zheng?" said Carlo sensitively. It seems that since he came to the house, strange things have happened repeatedly.
Lucina said angrily and funny, "It's not him." I locked myself in the kitchen before noon and have been locked up until now. I couldn't even cook, so I went to buy food for 8 people at noon, which was almost 40 silver coins. β
Carlo laughed, "What is he going to do?"
Lu Qi lowered her voice and spoke in Xu Zheng's tone: "Keep my stomach for me." Don't blame me if you can't eat then. Then he said hatefully, "I don't know." No matter what he does, I've decided anyway, if he doesn't come out again, I'll draw my sword and kill him. β
As soon as the words fell, I heard Xu Zheng's voice: "Don't, I'm out!"
Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, and saw Xu Zheng smiling and groaning, holding a big basin in his hand, coming out of the kitchen. Before they got closer, everyone smelled a fragrance wafting from Xu Zheng's hand. The aroma was so strong that it felt like the moment you opened the kitchen, and it came out of the basin and overflowed the hall.
Although there were not many guests in the hall, almost all of them twitched their noses a few times and said movingly: "What is it, so fragrant?"
Xu Zheng smiled proudly, raised the box in his hand, and said, "This is a snack in my hometownββ"
"Stop!" Ingres quickly interjected: "What is a snack?" "Look, this person has a lot of new words, and another new word comes out - snacks."
Xu Zheng said, yes, the word snack doesn't seem to have appeared in this time and space. Immediately sweating profusely, he hurriedly explained: "Snacks can be understood as foods that cannot be eaten according to meal habits. What do you say?" Xu Zheng had a headache, the concept of snacks was very vague, and it was really difficult to explain in detail, so he stayed with the basin for a long time before he said: "Anyway, snacks can be eaten as meals or vegetables." You can also eat it as a snack instead of a meal or a dish. β
The speaker was confused, and the listener was even more confused, but he remembered the name of the snack.
Carlo smiled: "It doesn't matter if you eat a lot or a snack, hurry up and serve it, everyone is so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs." β
"Deling!" Xu Zheng happily ran over with a basin much larger than himself, and ran to the table in front of everyone.
Everyone lowered their heads and saw a thick layer of oil floating in one of the boss's basins, which looked red and translucent, and the color was pleasing to the eye. On the oil surface are finely chopped chili peppers, both red and green, as well as fine sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Red, green, and white are mixed together, and the colors are crystal clear, exquisite, and indescribably beautiful. Along the walls of the pots, the entire pot is densely packed with dense wooden skewers, each of which is worn with a bunch of vegetables. There is only one kind of vegetable on one of these wooden skewers, and a large number of skewers are full of various vegetables. These dishes, all soaked in the bright red and shiny oil, through the red oil to see, its color is dyed with a layer of red, just from the shape and color, this so-called bowl has aroused people's appetite.
As Xu Zheng walked around with the basin, the basin exuded a rich fragrance. The aroma is very strong, but there is a fresh and striking feeling, and the contradictions are mixed to form a unique taste, which has the feeling of fragrance throughout the room.
Except for Lucina, Lao Banga's grandson and Barlow, everyone else has tasted Xu Zheng's barbecue skills. He was not unconvinced by the way he made the barbecue. At this time, seeing him bring out such an unheard of and unheard of bowl chicken again, I felt more and more that this Xu Zheng had excellent craftsmanship, and he was looking forward to the so-called snacks he was about to taste.
Little Banga picked up a knife and fork and flipped it in the basin a few times, and asked, "Where are the chickens?"
Xu Zheng squeezed his eyes and said, "The show is ahead, and the chicken that I bought for 60 silver coins will definitely let you taste it." However, eat vegetarian dishes first, and then meat. β
Xiaoban cheered, picked up his knife and fork and planned to start.
Xu Zheng hurriedly said: "Wait." That's not how it is eaten. And can't eat here. β
Lucina was stunned and said, "If you don't eat at home, where else can you eat?"
Xu Zheng said ghostly: "Even if it is food that cannot be eaten according to the eating habits, of course the eating habits cannot be eaten according to the usual habits-" A sly smile appeared on his face, Xu Zheng said: "Let's go eat on the street outside!
Everyone looked at each other, and they had to obey Xu Zheng, swallowed a mouthful of saliva that was about to flow out, and all of them drove on the street.
With such a move, a few small ones don't matter, poor Carlo and Lucina, as well as old Banga and Barlow, both of whom are fifth-order winemakers, but they have to follow a group of teenagers to the streets to chew on the case, which is really a bit cheap. The two old men glanced at each other, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't withstand the temptation of the fragrance and followed out.
