Chapter 595: The Taste of Childhood
"I'll come, I'll come. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Ji Jiaxin watched Zhang Zhaohua dig up a few fist-sized potatoes and came out, and immediately volunteered to grab the small steel hoe in Zhang Zhaohua's hand.
When people from Meiziao enter the mountains, they generally have to bring a firewood knife and a small steel hoe. With a firewood knife in hand, you can sew mountains and open roads, and with a hoe in hand, you will not fall short when you encounter things in the soil. For example, if you come across a wild ginseng, you can't pull it out with your hands. Zhang Zhaohua's handle is also a steel hoe, also known as a small medicine hoe. The workmanship is exquisite, and even if you don't dig anything, you can make people itch.
Zhang Zhaohua smiled and handed the small steel hoe to Ji Jiaxin, "Be careful, don't hurt yourself." ”
"How could I be so stupid. Ji Jiaxin said with a smile.
Zhang Zhaohua smiled and didn't answer, he hadn't asked Ji Jiaxin not to dig up the potatoes. However, with Ji Jiaxin's technology, this requirement seems too difficult.
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Jiaxin went down with a hoe, Zhang Zhaohua had already heard a crisp muffled sound, obviously Ji Jiaxin dug up the potatoes with a hoe. This potato is a little different from the outside potato, and the moisture content seems to be much higher. The flesh of the potatoes is the same as the fruit, with a golden yellow color and a faint fruity aroma. It makes people feel the urge to eat raw.
"Zhang Zhaohua, you dug several just now, why didn't you dig up one, why did I dig it up with a hoe?" Ji Jiaxin asked puzzled.
"Don't you see that I'm not digging down with a hoe? I'm digging the dirt diagonally, and only when I see where the potatoes are can I actually hoe. As for you, go down with a hoe, and the hoe will not bend, and if there are potatoes at the bottom, they will naturally rot. Zhang Zhaohua said with a smile.
"No wonder. Here you go, it's a waste to dig up such a good potato for me. Ji Jiaxin handed the hoe back to Zhang Zhaohua, and looked at a big potato that she had dug up with pity.
Zhang Zhaohua took the hoe: "It's okay, no one eats this potato here, and it will rot after renting." ”
Zhang Zhaohua dug up a few potatoes as she spoke, and then didn't continue. A few potatoes are enough to eat, and digging them up is a waste.
Zhang Zhaohua looked around and found vegetables such as lettuce, green beans, beans, and a patch of chili pepper seedlings full of red peppers. There are no pests or diseases in this secret place. These vegetables grow freely and are still in good order. It's a bit of a surprise.
Ji Jiaxin didn't know why she asked a very deep question: "Zhang Zhaohua, why do you say that people are so tired of studying and being promoted? In fact, isn't it enough for people to be fed and clothed in this life? Why should adults be so tired? The last life has passed, and I have not enjoyed any happiness. Look how nice it is. Wouldn't it be equally happy if the family was together?"
Is this a question for seventeen or eighteen-year-olds?
Zhang Zhaohua scratched his head, he was also a little puzzled: "There are many measures for the value of human existence. There was a time when people didn't just live for themselves. Everyone has different pursuits, so their definition of happiness is also different. These things may not be able to really be understood until we grow up in the future. ”
"Maybe. Ji Jiaxin nodded.
"Let's not think about such a deep question. Enjoy your dinner. Zhang Zhaohua said.
Zhang Zhaohua secretly took out a lot of equipment needed for a picnic, and no one knew what equipment Zhang Zhaohua was in his bag, so Zhang Zhaohua took out a lot of equipment, and everyone was not surprised.
Ji Jiaxin asked in surprise: "Zhang Zhaohua, didn't you bring all the cooking utensils in your kitchen?"
"Not really. This was all prepared when I went to the picnic before, and this time it came in handy. Although I took a few extra pieces of cooking utensils, I didn't need to bring food. These things are all stainless steel, and they don't weigh much. Zhang Zhaohua accosted him as he set up his cooking utensils.
Zhang Yuanbao and the dumb man had already cleaned up the snake meat and cooked meat, and they didn't let Ji Jiaxin see the cleaning process, so as not to make her lose her appetite. Now when I see the red and bright fresh meat, I don't have the disgusting feeling I had before. It turns out that the bamboo rat meat and snake meat are even more beautiful than the pork in the vegetable market.
It didn't take long for a rich fragrance to waft through the secret realm.
Zhang Zhaohua's craftsmanship is really good, several ingredients that seem very simple, under Zhang Zhaohua's cooking, concoct a special and irresistible taste.
In the city, it is easier to obtain a variety of ingredients, and it is even possible to gather various ingredients from all over the world in the city, but the taste of the ingredients is no longer the same as before. The bamboo rat meat and snake meat of Zhang Hualang exude a rich and primitive meat fragrance, which can arouse people's simplest appetites. It is a fragrance that is difficult to enjoy in the steel jungle of a modern city.
Ji Jiaxin grew up in the city, so it is naturally difficult to eat this kind of original game. Just smelling the scent creates a strong hunger pang.
"Is this really bamboo rat meat and snake meat? I thought rat meat and snake meat were smelly, but I didn't expect it to be so fragrant. Ji Jiaxin couldn't help but grab a piece from the bowl directly with her hand and threw it in her mouth.
Not to mention Ji Jiaxin, even if Zhang Yuanbao and the mute live in Meiziao, as Meiziao becomes richer and richer, many families no longer raise livestock and poultry by themselves, and eat all the pork and poultry bought from the market, and the taste is completely different from the taste eaten when I was a child.
"Dumb, I smell a smell of childhood. Do you smell it?" Zhang Yuanbao greedily took a breath of the aroma of meat that filled the air.
The dumb man nodded violently: "Yes, when I was a child when I ate meat, I could always smell this fragrance." Now the meat I eat has no flavor at all. ”
Zhang Zhaohua smiled: "Go back and let the people in the village not raise good breed pigs, nor raise good breed chickens and ducks, just raise the former native pigs, native chickens and ducks." Otherwise, in the future, local pigs, chickens and ducks will become extinct, and you will no longer be able to eat the fragrance of your childhood. ”
"Yes, yes, the current high-quality pigs grow faster and have more lean meat, but the taste is much worse than the previous local pigs. You don't tell me I don't know what's going on. Now that I think about it, that's really the case. Our life in Meiziao has improved, but it is not that all the old things should be discarded. Right? We've got some good stuff to keep. Zhang Yuanbao nodded.
"Why do I think this baked potato is also so delicious?" Zhang Yuanbao broke open a roasted potato, revealing the golden potato flesh inside, and a sweet fragrance wafted out, intertwined with the smell of meat, which really made people appetite.
