Hua Zhenxing walked out of Old Man Yang's yard, looking a little wilted. Kefuzi was standing at the gate of his courtyard and asked with a smile, "Scolding again?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "No, I just received Mr. Yang's education and am digesting it." ”

Ke Fuzi still smiled: "It's worth being scolded, if you don't find the paper crane in two days, it is estimated that you should be beaten, and you really need to digest and digest it." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Master, what are you doing, are you waiting for me on purpose?" ”

Kefuzi: "That's right, I want to ask you for a favor and pull some bamboo shoots." ”

Do you still need Hua Zhenxing's help for this trivial matter? But Hua Zhenxing didn't say anything, and replied very happily: "How much do you pull, what do you always want to do?" ”

Kefuzi: "It's okay, it's okay to pick bamboo shoots at noon, try to pick fresh and tender ones." When you do it, soak it for a while, and then soak it in cold water for an hour. ”

Hua Zhenxing smiled: "I know all this, what do you always want to cook?" ”

Kefuzi: "One dish is enough, you try to pick the best one." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "It rained a little yesterday, and there is a new one today." If you want to eat bamboo shoots, it is actually best to pluck them before the sun comes out. ”

Kofuzi: "Just tonight." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "The time was a little tight, so I'll make a simplified version." ”

Ke Fuzi: "I definitely want you to help make it, there is a dish called 'Wanting to Establish the Sky Festival' in Zhiwei Building, Wucheng, Dongguo, will you?" ”

This master almost never goes to the kitchen himself, and today when he suddenly wants to eat a dish, he must have made it from him. He blinked: "I've seen this recipe, I have an impression, you can try to make it, when do you want to eat it?" ”

Hua Zhenxing turned around and walked into Kefuzi's courtyard to pull bamboo shoots. The yard is one and a half acres, and the houses are built in a bamboo forest, and the bamboo in this area is about the thickness of a wine glass.

Different bamboo shoots have different particularities, for example, winter bamboo shoots are usually the kind that digs the thickness of a teacup and pries it with a hoe. And this kind of spring bamboo shoots are directly held at the root and pulled with skill, and the freshness and tenderness of the bamboo shoots around the elbow height are just right.

Ke Mengchao: "Okay, I know your craft. ”

The climate in Yangyuan Valley, in fact, there are bamboo shoots all year round, but there are just a few of them, and the varieties of bamboo are also different. If you are in the south of the eastern country, there should be the most bamboo shoots before and after the sting, and the time when there are the most bamboo shoots here is precisely the beginning of the heavy rainy season, and now it is the season.

Hua Zhenxing pulled out a bundle of bamboo shoots, tied them with a thin bamboo silk, grabbed a pair of bamboo chickens, picked more than a dozen bamboo eggs, picked bamboo sites and stuffed them into his pockets, and walked out of the bamboo forest with things in both hands.

Ke Mengchao: "You picked a little too many bamboo shoots, and you don't need a dish." ”

It didn't take many roots for a dish, but Hua Zhenxing was still very careful, and first swept the entire bamboo forest in the courtyard with his divine sense, distinguishing the physical properties and selecting the most suitable ones. He did not concentrate on pulling in one place, but tried to pull out a part of the bamboo shoots that grew in dense bamboo forests, which could have the effect of thinning the forest and did not affect the growth of this bamboo forest.

Kefuzi looked at it with his back and nodded with satisfaction.

Hua Zhenxing: "Yes, fried tree buds...... But where did the bamboo chicken come from? ”

There are no toons in Yangyuan Valley, but there are at least a dozen kinds of tree buds that can be eaten with scrambled eggs like toons, each with its own characteristics. There were no bamboo chickens in Yangyuan Valley before, but just now I caught two in the bamboo forest, and there are many nearby.

Hua Zhenxing: "I'm going to make three copies." ”

Ke Mengchao: "No wonder you want to catch a pair of bamboo chickens, these eggs can also be used for other dishes." ”

Ke Mengchao: "How did you recognize it?" ”

Ke Mengchao smiled and asked, "You finally found out?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "There are wild pheasants here, but there are no bamboo pheasants, I was also surprised just now." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "When did it happen?" ”

Ke Mengchao: "The last time you broke through the Five Realms and left, when Lao Mo and I built the Research Institute and the Ministry of Education, Lao Yang introduced a thousand bamboo chickens here. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Although I haven't seen a living thing, but I've seen photos and videos, Lao Yang said that the bamboo chicken tastes good, so I checked, but unfortunately there is no place in the Feisuo Harbor area, it is not a species from the Black Wilderness Continent." ”

Ke Mengchao: "It's really Lao Yang's idea, he and Lao Mo deduced together, thinking that it is very suitable to put bamboo chickens in the wild here, and it will not affect the ecology." ”

Hua Zhenxing was secretly ashamed, bowed his head and said, "I'll go cook first." ”

It takes a lot of work to set up a volley festival, and even if it's a simplified version, if you want to eat it at night, you have to prepare it now.

Hua Zhenxing: "That was before the first training class started!" ”

Ke Mengchao: "That's right, as the Lord of the Cave Heaven, you actually just found out!" Did you only pay attention to Lao Yang's paper crane just now? ”

Hua Zhenxing did not follow the original recipe, and played freely, which saved time and trouble. If he follows the original recipe, he will start cooking it from last night, and there are still many kinds of ingredients here, so he can only adapt to local conditions. (Note: If you want to set up a volley festival, the original recipe is in my other book "iQue", so it will not be counted here.) ）

You don't have to look at it all the time in the process of making it, the bamboo shoots are soaked in water, and the chicken soup still needs to be boiled, Hua Zhenxing walked out of the kitchen to rest for a while, and chatted with Kefuzi.

Peel the bamboo shoots and soak them in water for another hour while boiling the chicken broth. A little chicken with a little fat and salt is kneaded into mince, the soaked bamboo shoots are cut on one side, and the minced meat is filled into the cavity in the bamboo shoots before closing. Hua Zhenxing originally wanted to use pork filling, but unfortunately there is no one here, and the serious one is to use chestnut flour and dough as minced meat.

After arranging such bamboo shoots, pour a layer of bamboo chicken soup on the plate, just submerge the bamboo shoots, and then steam them in the basket, which can be steamed for a little longer.

Ke Mengchao: "Is it worth it?" ”

Hua Zhenxing grinned: "Of course it's worth it, you told me when you were a child, what is the meaning of not getting tired of eating." ”

Ke Mengchao asked casually: "Xiaohua, I suddenly want to eat this dish today, do you think it takes too much effort?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I don't think so, it's just that it was made, and the person who came up with this dish took a lot of effort." ”

But do people live only to be fed and clothed? What is the difference between that and an animal? After eating and closing, do you eat cassava batter every day? Even if there is meat, it is just boiled in plain water and dipped in salt? So what's the point of Locke opening so many oily noodle restaurants?

The so-called "coarse tea and light rice" is not only a literal meaning, it refers to a kind of self-cultivation, not indulging in extravagant desires, and pursuing a higher spiritual realm and more achievements.

Ke Mengchao said angrily and funny: "This is a language problem, not when I was a child, but when you were a child!" ”

There is a saying in the East Country that "the people take food as the sky", the meaning of this word has many layers, and the so-called food does not simply refer to eating, but refers to the need to ensure survival and reproduction, so the first step of Hua Zhenxing's transformation of Feisuo Port must be to build a farming area first.

Hua Zhenxing was only five or six years old at that time, and what great truth he could say could only repeat what Old Man Yang told him, which is called respecting heaven and cherishing things.

People regard food as their sky, and it can be seen that food is rare, shouldn't it be made more delicious? Treat these foods with more respect, otherwise you will be against God!

Whether it is Old Man Yang or Ke Fuzi, in fact, they are not extravagant people, they have all talked about "frugality" with Hua Zhenxing since they were children, although the angles are different, not to mention Mo Shangtong's kind of diligent and thrifty people.

Yang Tehong has always advocated thrift and kindness, but since he was a child, he asked Hua Zhenxing to read recipes as comic books, and let Xiaohua learn to cook all kinds of delicious food, how can this be explained? Once Kefuzi saw Xiaohua flipping through the recipe, so he asked him this question.

How to look at the accumulation of a civilization, many of them are hidden in secular life, under the established height of civilization, the thickness of its accumulation, such as the degree of prosperity, is also different, and many aspects are reflected in how people live.

One of the most important factors is how many kinds of materials can be found or cultivated in nature, and what kind of food can be made. This problem must be related to the superficial wealth and poverty, for example, pickled and spicy cabbage is only a food for the common people, and there is such a country with a shallow virtue and a loss of virtue has learned and thought that it is a tradition, so it is regarded as a national treasure, although it is very funny, but it also reflects this truth.

He amused Kefuzi, and Kefuzi asked him again, do you know that the so-called civilization not only has height, but also thickness? This is completely a modern discourse system, and he doesn't always speak ancient Chinese.

The so-called height of civilization is easier to understand, but what is the thickness, it is difficult to explain to such a young child. Ke Fuzi also came to chat with interest, and told Hua Zhenxing that one of the important reference systems was the recipe he was reading at that time.

If you just fool around, it is unpalatable and wasteful, tyrannical and vulgar, it is definitely not Yang Tehong's frugality, let alone Ke Mengchao's thrift.

This is different from extravagance, the difference is that it is not a lack of luxury and materialism and forgetfulness of the spirit. Jokes like "why not eat minced meat" are not to understand people's livelihood, and this spirit lies precisely in the joy of people's livelihood.

A radish, a cabbage, a few cucumbers, can make a variety of tricks, this is not only the appetite, but also represents the interest and spirit of life, it is not a certain person, embodied in the inheritance of civilization.

Besides, the dish made today is very Hua Zhenxing's characteristics, in fact, it is not wasteful, the bamboo shoots and the bamboo chicken are all used to the fullest, try to respect them more, and you can enjoy them more.

Is it really labor-intensive, not necessarily, but in fact, it takes the minds of the predecessors, which requires the observation and practice of everything. Are these just for food and clothing, are they just a reflection of material desires, of course not!

In the eastern country, you can make a variety of delicacies, and there are also characteristics of different cuisines. For example, among them, there are mountain city hot pot, which was originally a wharf river worker, a laborer to keep out the cold, dispel dampness, and appetize snacks, but now it has become a popular system, and hundreds of millions of people are the same as the beauty.

This spirit can also be reflected in the processing and selection of ingredients, such as the offal of various animals and various leftovers, commonly known as sewerage in the eastern country, which is not well processed in many parts of the world, and many of them are wasted and do not know how to eat.

The so-called not getting tired of eating is probably like this, and if you say more, it will not be something that Xiaohua can understand at that time.

Sitting in the room and chatting today, Ke Mengchao actually talked about this topic again. Hua Zhenxing has grown up a lot and understands more truths, and he sighed like an adult: "I don't get tired of eating, and I also seek refinement!" In this regard, you and Mr. Yang have the same opinion. ”

As soon as the words came out, Hua Zhenxing regretted it a little, because he also knew Ke Fuzi very well, as long as he talked about the views of Old Man Yang and Uncle Mo, Ke Fuzi always couldn't help but want to make a bar, and sure enough, he heard his old man shake his head and said: "Plausible, you still haven't got the essence of the taste, between me and Lao Yang, in fact, there is a big difference!" ”
