Volume 2 The world is so big, I want to see it Chapter 132 The Old Man on the Tip of the Tongue
"Goodong~~" The old man Zhongji swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and stared at the roast chicken roasted on the fire.
Yu Liang smiled slightly, and said in his heart that he would not believe that he could not cure you, thinking about it, he sprinkled some spices on his hand, flipped it by the way, and then fanned it gently, and an extremely strong aroma slowly dispersed, Zhong Lao's nose moved slightly and sniffed vigorously, only to feel that the strange fragrance made him a little unbearable and wanted to pounce on it, and his throat stirred unconsciously. The rhubarb on the side rolled his eyes disdainfully, and said in his heart that he didn't know the guy, that's it?
Obviously, Rhubarb has long forgotten the humiliating past when he was bought by Yu Liang with the same roast chicken, although his face is disdainful at this time, but the gaze that is also staring at the roast chicken has obviously betrayed it a long time ago, and the drooling appearance is actually not much stronger than Zhong Lao.
Yu Liang rummaged for a while, and saw that the heat was almost over, so he took out the sauce he had prepared, carefully applied a thin layer on it before exhaling lightly, but he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart, but these seasonings were all identified and collected little by little when he lived in Kangping Town, and the quantity was scarce, and now he has already left there, these seasonings are used a little less, so Yu Liang usually doesn't use it, and he basically won't get some food by himself after arriving in Luoyang. This time, on the one hand, he could only get some game to eat in the wilderness, and on the other hand, Yu Liang had the intention of talking from Zhong Lao.
At this time, it had been a day and a night since Yu Liang woke up, and Yu Liang had already figured out his position under the guidance of the old man, and understood that he was not far from the border of the Great Zhou at this time, and it was indeed at least a few thousand miles away from the place where he was separated from Li Qing and the others. After thinking about it, I was afraid that it would be too late to rush back at this time, and Li Qing and the others might not wait for them, so they finally decided to continue to set off for Da Zhou, thinking that maybe they could see each other in Chang'an. Of course, Yu Liang also found out in the process of talking with the old man that the old man was by no means as simple as an ordinary teacher, because the erudition that the old man inadvertently showed made Yu Liang, who was well-informed, feel stunned, almost omniscient, and the old man's faintly revealed views on the world refreshed Yu Liang's cognition, making him a little suspicious that the old man was an outsider like himself.
It was only the disagreement in some aspects that made Yu Liang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was faintly disappointed, and he smiled bitterly, thinking that he really thought too much. These differences are actually a bit laughable, for example, the old man firmly believes that the world is a vast continent, and Yu Liang is trying to make the old man figure out what geocentrism is.
In the end, it was obviously announced that the old man was slightly better for the time being in the old man's sentence of "Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have walked", because Yu Liang had indeed almost never gone out except for this trip to the country, and the authenticity of the old man's words was extremely reliable.
Of course, Yu Liang was not to be outdone, and replied: "No matter how much you eat, it's useless, you must always eat well, otherwise it's not a waste of materials, what does it taste like when you eat it?"
"Hmph!" the old man just snorted disdainfully. The old man obviously has a very say in eating the elderly, and even the old man feels that there is probably no one in this world who has more say than him, after all, the old man enters the Tao with "food", and it must always be true.
It's just that the old man's firm thoughts have encountered a serious crisis at this time, and he has faintly begun to waver, and what shakes his mind is the fragrant roast chicken that was sent to him at this time.
Yu Liang finally completed the production of this roast chicken with some satisfaction, and even faintly felt that this was probably the best roast chicken made by breaking through the bottleneck under the provocation of the old man, so he gently picked one off with a smile and handed it to the old man.
The old man looked at Yu Liang's increasingly hateful smiling face, and snorted a little arrogantly, and had the heart to refuse, but the fragrance was too strong and pungent for people to refuse, and he looked down slightly, the roast chicken stained with sauce exuded a dazzling luster, and it was obvious that the heat was just right.
"Goo Dong~" The old man swallowed a mouthful of saliva again, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of this deliciousness, and seemed to reluctantly take the roast chicken, his nose moved, and he tore off a chicken leg and bit it in his mouth with his eyes shining.
The old man's eyes widened violently, and he looked incredulous, and only then did he realize that he had chewed a few more times. So the pungent spicy fragrance turned into a real feeling and exploded in the old man's mouth, and with the smooth and delicious, fat but not greasy taste, the old man instantly lost his mind, and his brain was blank in a short time.
Yu Liang smiled slightly when he saw this, and was extremely satisfied with the old man's reaction, so he had time to pick up a roast chicken again and throw it to Rhubarb, who was already very dissatisfied. It's just that I saw the rhubarb eating and was slightly distracted, and looked at Yiyi who was still asleep on the side with some sadness, thinking that my favorite roast chicken is this stupid girl, so I picked off the rest of the roast chicken together and put it away, thinking about keeping it and waiting for Yiyi to wake up and give it to her. It's just that he suddenly saw the white cat that stayed in the corner and didn't dare to move, looking at him pitifully, so he paused with some hesitation, and finally sighed lightly and put a roast chicken in front of it. The white cat looked at Yu Liang with a somewhat complicated expression, and then finally couldn't resist the temptation, gently picked up the roast chicken, hid it and ate it.
It wasn't until Yu Liang finished all this that the old man finally came back to his senses, but he still took a bite again in disbelief, and the indescribable delicacy suddenly filled the old man's mouth, and even went down to the internal organs, reaching the heavens, making the old man couldn't help but shiver comfortably.
The old man was completely conquered by this delicacy, and he was in tears, and he caught a glimpse of a cat and a dog who were feasting on it, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and he was choked in his eagerness to cough violently, but the old man was really reluctant to swallow the delicious food in his mouth, and he didn't want to waste anything, so he forced his luck to suppress the discomfort in his throat, and his face turned red and forcibly swallowed the food in his mouth.
Yu Liang was startled when he saw this, and said that this was too exaggerated, so he hurriedly took out a jar of wine and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the wine jar and patted the sealing mud, a rich aroma of wine rushed straight to his mind, the old man instantly judged that this jar of osmanthus brewing was at least more than 70 years of cellaring, the light in his eyes skyrocketed, and he poured a big mouthful, only to feel extremely comfortable, and then he sighed with some amazement: "So delicious, such a beautiful wine, live up to the world!" The old man said with a somewhat complicated face, and said that he had traveled almost all over the continent but had never eaten such a delicious roast chicken, and the food he had eaten for so many years was not in vain.
The old man thought that some chaotic minds had gradually settled down after the final impact, but he still looked at the roast chicken in his hand with brilliant eyes, and after thinking about it, he carefully took a big bite, the fragrance still made the old man feel unstoppable, and he actually wiped out the whole roast chicken very quickly with the jar of osmanthus stuffed, and almost did not let go of the bones. After the whole roast chicken and a jar of osmanthus stuffed were eaten, the old man patted his stomach with some satisfaction, but he was still a little unsatisfied, and the old man turned his eyes to Yu Liang.
Yu Liang's body stiffened slightly, and he felt a faint tingling of his scalp.
The old man's gaze swept over Yu Liang, staring at the bottles and cans on the ground that had not yet had time to be put away by Yu Liang, and the light in his eyes was like substance, which made Yu Liang on the side couldn't help but shudder.
The old man was a little reluctant to retract his gaze for a long time, but he quietly approached a few steps without a trace, almost sat on top of those spices, approached a big face to look at Yu Liang, coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I see that your cooking methods are extremely ordinary, and there is nothing unusual, but this roast chicken is a delicacy that I have never tasted in my life, and it must be the credit of these small bottles in front of me, although some I can barely identify, but there are some that I have never seen, why don't you tell me." As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and protected the spices.
The corners of Yu Liang's eyes jumped, and he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Zhong Lao, what are you doing, these condiments are all screened out by me after countless times of debugging and matching, how can there be a reason that you have to take it away here, and if I don't explain it to you, you may not be able to use it properly, isn't it a waste of these good things?"
The old man coughed lightly in embarrassment, but he still refused to let go easily, but he just said with a smile: "Then you can tell me, if you know how to use the best materials and make them, I can try to make some myself, so naturally I don't need to borrow some from you." ”
The corners of Yu Liang's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart Where are you borrowing, but looking at the old man's posture, he obviously didn't plan to let go, so he could only sigh helplessly and said: "Most of these things are found by me and cultivated and optimized by myself, and many of them can't be found anywhere else, even if I only have these in my hands." ”
Yu Liang said with a slight pause and continued: "I'll give you a brief explanation, in fact, the main reason why this roast chicken can be so fragrant is a few of the ingredients, and I don't know the names of many raw materials, they are all my own new names." He pointed to one of the bottles and said: "This is a chili pepper, it will have a spicy and stimulating sensation when eaten alone, it is not easy to eat, and if it is dried and ground into powder, it will be spicy and fragrant if it is used properly, and it is extremely appetizing and makes people want to stop." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the other bottles and said, "This is sour branches, it is sour, this is honey refined, it is sweet, this is cinnamon, this is star anise......"
"As for this, it is the secret that makes this roast chicken taste so unique and unforgettable, which is cumin ......"
