Chapter 704: The Delicious Taste of Nostalgia
Hot pot is one of the two elements of quick preparation and delicious food. As long as the soup base is done, the rest of the people who want to eat will put the raw ingredients into the boiling hot pot and cook them. All the effort is focused on that pot of soup. Of course, the ingredients are also fresh.
Of course, what someone does is not a soup stock that boils a pot of hot water and puts a few big bones to boil, but finds out from the depths of his memory, the recipe used at the bottom of the Chongqing spicy hot pot. The Jialong Chamber of Commerce has provided more than ninety percent of the materials they need, even if the taste can't be made to a full extent, there is no problem with seven or eight points. If you want to say that you are not satisfied, it is that there are not enough types of chili peppers.
Even so, when that pot of soup was served, no one didn't frown. Spicy hot pot is not experienced the moment you eat it, but when you smell it, it starts to exert power.
In addition to the pot of soup base, which was quite scary in the eyes of others, there was also a bowl of noodles in front of everyone, which looked a little more normal. But the noodle soup is also red, and the smell that comes out is not only choking, but also a little sour.
But this bowl is another pity for someone, the hot and sour noodles should be made of sweet potato flour, and the taste made of flour is not so authentic, this can only be regarded as a bowl of hot and sour noodles with a different taste. Although sweet potatoes are also provided by the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, there is no concept of how to make them. It's hard to get hungry before you start to figure out how to do it, so you can only use noodles.
Not to mention that many of the people present do not belong to ordinary people. Even the one that really belonged to ordinary people, when they saw a pot of red soup being served on the table, and the pungent aroma wafted out, everyone was curious and frightened. And that bowl of noodles, which is also red, although not as scary as the pot of soup, is by no means a very intimate taste.
For example, Vana had seen a magician make a different dish out of duck or pig blood. At that time, her worldview was like a collapse, and she couldn't believe that something could be eaten, it must be some kind of magic or evil ritual. Although in the end it turns out that which is really delicious...... And the bright red soup base in front of me has a pungent taste, so it shouldn't be some bloody dish.
Lin doesn't do any sales, for foodies, everything is served on the table, and others don't move their chopsticks, just so that they can eat more, what's wrong with that. However, for new friends, the most basic explanation is still necessary. On the whole table, there are no common knives, forks and cutlery, except for the spoon, which is a spoon, there are two small wooden sticks.
Lin picked it up and explained while demonstrating how to use chopsticks. Finally, I picked up the hot and sour noodles and took a big sip with a snort, and I was happy~! Then, in front of everyone's eyes, he picked up a piece of raw hairy belly, scalded it with the trick of seven up and eight times, and sent it into his mouth.
The long-lost taste exploded in his mouth, and tears rushed out of his eyes. Lin didn't know if it was because he was choked by the spicy taste that he had tasted again after nearly twenty years, or if he was really so moved.
Just as someone was chewing on it, the two girls didn't hesitate to follow their teacher's movements. Although Fen was a step slower, she was just not as anxious as the two apprentices, and she didn't eat at all. Then there is Uzov, the four silver-bearded dwarves, and the humanized black dragon Augustus.
Two children and four kittens are not suitable for themselves because of their young age or small size. So Wana, who was in charge of the two children, let them eat the hot and sour noodles in the bowl first, and then try what kind of food this terrible-looking dish tasted in the pot.
William Greco couldn't contain his curiosity, and of course he followed suit. Azad used the hot and sour noodles in front of him to play with the chopsticks in his hand. After feeling proficient, I learned from someone and took a sip of hot and sour noodles.
And then...... Everyone exploded!
There are those who hold their mouths, those who look for water to drink, those who open their mouths and puff into the wind, and the most exaggerated one is Jermaine, who falls directly to the ground and rolls with the four cats. Only someone who doesn't care about his tears and sweat, eats deliciously, shabu belly shabu shabu slices, shabu meat slices shabu cabbage.
After a while, Lin noticed that two big fat boys were staring at him with hopeful eyes, and their bowls were only remnants of soup.
The so-called solitary happiness is better than public happiness. Since the child was also dead, Lin took on the task of feeding him, and a fat boy gave Shabu a piece of hairy belly. The two of them took a bite, and then their eyes lit up. After eating a large piece of hairy belly in three or two clicks, he immediately knocked on the bowl and begged for food.
Regarding the actions of the two boys, Lin immediately taught a lesson: "You can't knock the bowl when eating, beggars do such things." ”
The two fat boys, who had stopped knocking on the bowl, pointed to the meat plate on the table and snorted, "Meat, want meat." ”
Inexplicably, someone actually has a feeling that the future of these two boys is limitless.
In the end, the spicy hot pot could not be enjoyed by someone alone. Maybe it will be choking at the first bite, but after getting used to it, it will be one bite after another, and the chopsticks will not stop. In someone's words, this feeling can be described in three simple words: numb, spicy, and cool!
Not to mention that a large pot of hot and sour noodles was eaten, the two girls went into the kitchen several times and cut some ingredients that could be shabu-shabu. Because the spicy soup base needs to be stir-fried separately, a certain slacker doesn't plan to enter the kitchen again, so when adding soup, he just uses homemade bean paste and stock on top.
A group of people ate a meal for a long time, added soup several times, and almost ate the spicy soup base into clear soup. Only then did he hold his stomach and pick his teeth unsatisfied.
According to Azad's explanation, that is, people who practice martial arts have a large amount of food, and it is okay to eat seven points full.
With just such a sentence of 'okay', Azad was still burping on the sofa chair. Lin guessed in his heart that it was estimated that the goods would not be able to be driven away in a short time.
William Greco, though not so disrespectful, was also contented, drinking a cold beer with the two owners with flushed faces. This is also one of the products of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, compared with the original ale wine, the most important thing is that hops are added to the beer, so that the wine is not so sweet, and has a more sweet and bitter taste. When chilled, it tastes even better.
Holding a special beer glass, William said, "Friend, today's dinner is amazing. I never thought the food would taste like this. ”
"Well, there are so many delicacies in the world. I'm just a fan of food more than most people, and I've eaten a lot of food. Sometimes I miss what the taste is, and I try to pursue it, but I only restore seven or eight points. There's room for improvement compared to what I remember. But thanks to you, if I didn't know anyone from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, it would be difficult for me to collect so many spices. ”
William's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, then, I'll bother you for a while, okay?" ”
"Welcome, what's not to do. One more mouth can't eat me. It's just that you came to the Holy City through the Turtledove Alliance, and there is nothing else? Can you wait for me here? ”
"Don't worry, I'm here, there's nothing important, it's just a stop on the journey. I will come here because there is a rumor within the alliance that the technical guild of the Holy City needs help, so I just came to take a look. ”
From William's words, it is known that his daily life is to go around and occasionally help out with some innocuous little favors. Work or anything was never in his life plan. This also makes him only have a tight wallet, but he is not short of living expenses, and there are people to provide them anyway.
No matter how bad it is, go into the wilderness alone, or crusade against monsters to get rewards, or hunt to cope with a meal or two. For him, it was not difficult.
He pursues life, but not material life. It may sound like a tongue twister, but it's exactly what William Greco is all about. And when it comes to his strength level, he really has someone to 'support' wherever he goes.
Maybe it's strange to use these two words, but the truth is that the people he met during his journey, even if they didn't rely on his strength, would rather provide for them and not let him get into trouble for himself. Not to mention that there is such a great god sitting at home, and when he really encounters any life-threatening situation, he will definitely not sit idly by.
Of course, there were also many times when the White Sword Master chose to leave a place because that friend's request had already stepped on his red line. If you don't want to tear your face, you have to leave. Because of this personality, basically he will not get into deep contact with the dark side of some people's careers, and no one will have a way to keep him. So to this day, life is still free.
Just talking so much, Lin couldn't help but suspect that there seemed to be no time to practice martial arts and combat skills in his daily life. Did this strength fall from the sky?
Faced with someone's question, the White Sword Saint showed a look of puzzlement and confusion, and said, "Why do you need to practice? Aren't those things that you can figure out when you think about it, and you can figure it out when you figure it out. ”
Finn and Azad nodded in agreement. One of the people told others that they just wanted to strangle these people.
In short, at the end of this eventful day, there were two more guests in the house.
But when the two girls who had cleaned up the dining room and kitchen came to him, they pointed out the window aggrievedly, and the mess in the jacquard workshop had not yet had time to clean up. Lin sighed and asked, "How serious is the loss over there in the Silkworm Room?" ”
Harumi replied, "All the six retained species are gone, and the adults of the Golden Demon Moth are either dead or flying; There are only a few larvae left. The larvae of other moth species are probably less than 20% of the number left. It's a lot of losses."
"What about the dried silk cocoons, how many more can be used?"
"About one hundred and twenty or thirty kilograms. Maybe some of them are just dirty, but they can still be used after cleaning them. Halumi suddenly changed his words and asked, "Teacher, won't you pursue it?" ”
"What are you looking for? Who dies or flies away, can anyone change back? ”
The blonde girl shook her head.
"Is there anyone else who will fix the broken machine?"
The blonde girl shook her head with the dark-haired brown-skinned girl.
"So these aftermath things still fall on ourselves in the end. Does it make sense to pursue whom? ”
The three of them sighed at the same time. Lin said again: "Let's start repairing the jacquard machine tomorrow." With the number of silk cocoons we have saved, it should be no problem to make three sets of clothes. Although I want to make a few more sets in one go, it will take some time for the subsequent production capacity to recover. So let's not wait, let's start planning. Once the machine is fixed, the process is scheduled. ”
The two girls raised their eyebrows, and finally there was something happy today.
