Chapter 18: The Captives of Gastronomy
……
The palace dining room is full of fire and aroma, but a strange thing has happened here recently.
The cooked dishes always disappear inexplicably, could it be that I have been too busy lately and forgot to worship the god of the stove king, which angered the gods.
The people below cautiously guessed that on the beams of the house, Hong Qigong was full of oily food, and he was very happy.
Xu Xiaoyu looked at Hong Qigong, who was still eating, and said, "This is the third day, let's go!" ”
said that it would be the third day to go back in two days, and he was afraid that Xiaohua would be worried.
Hong Qigong still eats happily: "I don't have a few days to live, I have to eat enough here." ”
Xu Xiaoyu looked at Hong Qigong's reluctance to leave, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he wouldn't leave him here alone.
Suddenly, I had an idea, wasn't it just food?
Xu Xiaoyu said: "Look at your appearance that you have never seen the world, what is delicious made by this imperial chef!" ”
Hong Qigong responded: "I don't believe it, you have eaten better things elsewhere." ”
Xu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Have you ever drunk salt soda?" Have you ever eaten stinky tofu? Have you ever eaten snail noodles? ”
Hong Qigong looked puzzled: "Is it the name of the dish?" Why is it so bizarre? ”
Xu Xiaoyu said again: "It's all the name of the dish!" Spicy strips, Orleans grilled chicken wings, tofu brain, double skin milk, ginger milk, 50 degrees of Hengshui Lao Bai dry You must not have drunk it, right? You must have never heard of a 60-degree two-pot head. ”
Hong Qigong asked suspiciously: "Are these things you said delicious?" ”
"Is it delicious?" Xu Xiaoyu said meaningfully: "You remove the word "?", it is delicious to the top." ”
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Xu Xiaoyu left the palace with Hong Qigong in his arms.
I took Xiaohua with me, bought a carriage, and hurried home.
……
Looking at the long-lost courtyard gate, Xu Xiaoyu sighed: "Finally home!" ”
Hong Qigong got off the carriage, looked at the luxurious courtyard, and said, "This is your house, it's pretty good, why doesn't there be a name on the door number?" ”
Xu Xiaoyu thought for a while, pointed his finger and said, "I'll name it "Farmhouse" now."
Hong Qigong clapped his hands and exclaimed: "The good name "Farmhouse" has a different taste." ”
Knocking on the courtyard door, Uncle Wang was very happy to see Xu Xiaoyu coming back!
After entering the courtyard, he saw Hong Qigong in tatters, and asked Xu Xiaoyu, "Who is this?" ”
Xu Xiaoyu pointed at him and introduced: "This is a distinguished guest, the leader of the beggar gang, Hong Qigong." ”
After hearing this, Uncle Wang hurriedly saluted and greeted: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to the helper." ”
The beggar gang had come to the wedding to give gifts before, and now the beggar gang leader has come to be a guest again, and Uncle Wang is very excited.
Hong Qigong sat in the courtyard, looked at Xu Xiaoyu and said, "You can coax me to say that there are a lot of delicious foods, now let's try it first." ”
Xu Xiaoyu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Everyone is together today, let's have a cream cake to celebrate!" ”
Hong Qigong asked suspiciously: "Cream cake, I really haven't eaten it!" ”
Xu Xiaoyu replied, "Eat? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have even heard of it! And voila, all right! ”
"Xiaohua, you go and prepare more eggs, separate the egg whites from the yolks."
"Master, you go to set up a fire and find a big steamer!"
"I'm going to prepare some necessary materials."
……
Several people gathered around the table in the courtyard and watched Xu Xiaoyu operate
Hong Qigong pointed to the ashes on the table and said, "This ash is also used for cooking?" ”
Xiao Yu picked up a bowl of grass and wood ashes and said, "You don't understand this, this is a secret recipe!" ”
Pour the ashes into the water and bring to a boil.
It is then placed on gauze and filtered to get yellowish water.
Xu Xiaoyu explained: "This is the simplified version of lye, the dough kneaded with it is steamed out fluffy and soft. ”
Xu Xiaoyu let Xiaohua get started, kneaded the dough with white flour and egg yolk and alkaline water, and put it in the mold to set.
Then let Uncle Wang put it on the steamer and steam.
The egg white was stirred wildly in the bowl, and in Hong Qigong's incredible eyes, the transparent egg white turned into a white foamy shape.
Xu Xiaoyu took out a jar of honey: "If there is no white sugar, replace it with honey." "Keep stirring like crazy.
Uncle Wang brought out the steamed noodles, although the color was a little wrong, but it was indeed fluffy and soft.
Xu Xiaoyu cut the noodles into a cylindrical shape, smeared them with cream, and made latte art on the edges. Finish with some fresh fruits and vegetables on top.
The cake was cut into pieces and distributed to everyone, and everyone who had never eaten it before showed expressions of enjoyment.
Hong Qigong exclaimed: "It's really delicious, it melts in your mouth, it's sweet and delicious." ”
……
In the kitchen, Xu Xiaoyu looked at the pitch-black sugar in the crockpot.
"Such a black thing is sugar? How to eat! ”
But fortunately, Xu Xiaoyu remembered that when he was a child, there was a soil method in his hometown, which was specialized in refining white sugar.
Yellow mud decolorization method:
Put the tile slip on the top of the tank, put the brown sugar in the tile, and then pour it into the yellow muddy water, and the brown sugar pigment and impurities in the upper layer are taken away by the yellow muddy water and turn white.
Looking at the white sugar in the bowl, Xu Xiaoyu thought to himself that he could make more delicious food now.
Milk tea: The tea leaves are fried in an iron pot, add sugar to continue frying, and finally add goat's milk.
Rock sugar gourd: The red fruit is strung with a bamboo skewer and drizzled with boiled sugar.
Double skin milk: Egg whites with sugar, add goat's milk, stir wildly, and steam on the steamer.
Hong Qigong looked at the delicious dishes made by Xu Xiaoyu and was full of praise.
"These desserts you made are so delicious, I haven't even seen them before."
Hong Qigong, who was well-fed, was lying on a recliner in the courtyard, still holding milk tea in his hand.
Hong Qigong said to Xu Xiaoyu: "I taught you the dog stick method, how are you practicing?" Show me. ”
Xu Xiaoyu picked up the iron rod and played it, the stick shadow was heavy, and the tricky dog beating stick method looked even more powerful.
Hong Qigong stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take Xu Xiaoyu's iron rod: "I still have a few tricks here, you can take a good look!" ”
Hong Qigong, who had just picked up the iron rod, stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and asked Xu Xiaoyu, "What are you, why is it so heavy." ”
Xu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's it, it's only sixty pounds." ”
Hong Qigong looked at him like a monster.
"Forget it." Pick up a bamboo pole in the corner and wave it
Turn the word to decide: vicious dog bites, quick hit the dog's buttocks, lost dogs, yellow dogs chase the tail, puppies play balls.
Stumbling words: mastiff mouth cane, dog to the sky, horizontal double mastiff, chicken flying dog jump.
Introduction: lead the dog into the village, the stick sweeps the ground, obliquely beats the dog's back, shakes the head and tail, and the group of dogs compete for food.
Splitting formula: stick to beat the dog's head, poor alley to drive the dog, mad dog bite the throat, fall into the water to beat the dog, there is no dog in the world
Xu Xiaoyu followed behind to study, seeing that he had almost learned, Hong Qigong threw away the bamboo stick and went back to the recliner to lie down.
Xu Xiaoyu said shamelessly: "Why don't you teach me another set of light skills by the way, I won't know it." ”
Hong Qigong raised his head and rolled his eyes at him.

……
Hong Qigong looked at Xu Xiaoyu and asked, "What kind of martial arts are you practicing, why are you so powerful." ”
Xu Xiaoyu took out a Taoist book "Lu Zu Says Neidanshu" from the house, and turned the page of teaching the Tuna technique.
Hong Qigong looked at it, frowned, and looked back at Xu Xiaoyu like a fool: "What is this?" If you want to deceive me, you don't have to deceive me like that. ”
Xu Xiaoyu said lightly: "That's what I'm practicing." ”
Hong Qigong kept staring at him, his pupils slowly dilated.
A group of us who practice martial arts, and there is actually a cultivator in the middle!
