Earth Survival Guide

Chapter 703 A driver who doesn't want to be a cook is not a good general

"Mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, pine nuts, melon seeds, chicken, ham..."

Gu Tao murmured and put the ingredients on the chopping board, and then began to crush the tofu with two kitchen knives, which seemed very primitive.

"What are you doing here?"

Jing Yuan has been busy all day for no reason, and now he is sitting on the sofa watching TV, and Xiu Ling next to him has already fallen asleep under a blanket, while Gu Tao is busy in the kitchen.

"Get ready for the New Year's Eve dinner. It's almost New Year's Eve. It's rare for the family to get together once, and I have two events to attend, so I have to go through all the dishes in advance."

"Do you like cooking?"

Gu Tao finely scraped the tofu onto the plate, and then began to mince the shiitake mushrooms: "Actually, if you want to say how much I like it, I definitely don't like it very much, but I'm quite talented. By the way, I When you die in the future, a universal code will be hung on the tombstone, and a recipe for a home-cooked dish will be randomly displayed by scanning the phone."

"Hey, you're still thinking too far ahead."

"Haha, isn't it very good, although people are gone, but the taste of home can still stay." Gu Tao started to cut the remaining ingredients into minced meat while talking: "Oh... chicken soup! "

The moment the slowly simmering chicken soup was boiled, the aroma filled the room. Xiu Ling woke up after sniffing her nose in her sleep. She raised her head and glanced at the time: "Is the meal ready again?"

"Go to sleep a little longer, it's still early."

Gu Tao mixed a pot of various kinds of foam into fillings and muttered: "Tofu is five, everything else is one..."

After all the ingredients in the basin were cooked, Gu Tao took out all the bones and chicken that was almost cooked in the chicken soup, and fed it to Chenchen who was squatting next to him and wagging his tail.Then turn to high heat and continue to simmer. When the chicken soup becomes oily and clear, skim off the fat on top, squeeze out the tofu into balls and put them into the chicken soup. Turn to low heat and start to simmer slowly.

This process was very long. He leaned against the wall and stared at the flames under the gas stove in a daze. When a special fragrance filled the room, he opened the lid of the pot and put in a little salt and a Dot some white vinegar, continue to cover and simmer, open the lid to skim the foam every 5 minutes on average, then add a few pieces of hay, wait for a period of time, then remove the licorice, and finally turn the fire to a few times.

"Actually, the dishes are not complicated, just... what are you two doing?"

When Gu Tao turned his head, he found that Xiu Ling and Jing Yuan were standing at the door, waiting there with a growling stomach, especially Xiu Ling, with a green light in his eyes.

"Hungry?"

"Hmm..." Xiu Ling wiped his saliva: "It smells too good."

"This dish is not complicated, but it takes time. Remember to make mushrooms with water, which can enhance the fragrance and cover up the fishy smell of tofu and chicken. Then add a little Huadiao wine to the white vinegar to remove the fishy smell. The amount of vinegar depends on how many balls you have. For such a big ball, five balls and one teaspoon are enough. There are thirty balls here, just six teaspoons. The chicken soup should be boiled with a whole chicken. The leftover chicken is useless except for feeding dogs. If you want to further enhance the freshness, you can add two fresh ribs. I didn’t put it in now, it would be a bit greasy if I put it in.”

Soon, the time was up. Gu Tao took out a large soup bowl and poured all the chicken soup and meatballs that were less than half of the pot into the pot. The chicken soup was clear and the meatballs were attractive in color. They floated on top of the chicken soup one by one and sprinkled a handful of them. Chives, the smell comes out.

Jing Yuan swallowed her saliva, but at some point she already had a bowl in her hand and was waiting at the table as if she were begging for food. However, her spiritual cultivation character wanted to be a little more out of the ordinary. The morning at my feet is exactly the same.

"Chicken soup has been boiled here since we went out in the morning, and the whole process of this meatball has taken more than ten hours." Gu Tao came over with a big pot: "It is already considered a very important and important dish in home cooking."

Putting a big pot on the table, Xiu Ling impatiently made a bowl for herself, she blew a little, then picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. The instant the soup entered her mouth, she felt a burst of freshness and sweetness When it comes out, the taste is not salty, but it is very fresh, and there is still a sweet taste between the lips and teeth. It is not the sweetness of sugar, but the natural sweetness of mountain spring water.

"hiss……"

She couldn't wait to take a bite of the meatballs, and she grinned from the heat at that moment, but she couldn't bear to spit it out no matter how hot it was. She gasped and started chewing. The tofu was full of chicken soup after being boiled for a long time. The umami flavor inside, coupled with the aroma of shiitake mushrooms, the texture of oyster mushrooms, the salty aroma of ham and the elasticity of chicken, make the whole meatballs exude an indescribable deliciousness.

More importantly, there is really no beany smell or greasy feeling at all. Although it looks like there is no seasoning, the taste is not bad at all, especially after drinking a light soup and then eating a wrapped For the ham meatballs, the overall taste level is instantly improved.

"Mmm... delicious!"

Xiu Ling only had this comment left, and although Jing Yuan was also very hungry and greedy, she still didn't show any signs of eating like Xiu Ling. She ate the meatballs first, and after taking a bite, she chewed and swallowed slowly. Next, take another sip of hot soup.The fatigue of the day was swept away in this way. She took a breath and was actually speechless.

"Don't worry, there's food in the back." Gu Tao leaned against the door: "Speaking of which, shouldn't you practitioners should be pure-hearted and ascetic, look at your eating habits, especially spiritual cultivation."

"If there is a choice, I'll practice what a fart, I want to be a painter." Xiu Ling pushed Gu Tao away from the door with his butt, and put a big bowl of rice into the bowl: "Don't stop me from eating soup and rice .”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Gu Tao stopped her: "The second dish hasn't been served yet."

The second dish is relatively simple to fry. It is a twice-cooked pork dish that is heavy in oil and salt. Once the three-layered meat is fried in the oil, it will be unhealthy if it is too much. But the bean paste, the garlic leaves, and the red oil, don’t It is said that it is served with burnt meat slices, even fried shoe mats can eat three bowls of rice.

The third dish is even simpler. It is to use the leftovers from the previous dishes to fry a chowder. It has all kinds of flavors. Although compared with the first tofu balls, it is rough and unappealing, but the charm of home cooking is the same. Here it is, exquisite soup, heavy meat with a spicy chowder, oh my god...

"Ah... I'm going to die."

After eating, Xiu Ling lay on the sofa like a dead dog. Her originally excellent figure had a big belly bulging, as if she was four or five months pregnant. Her experience was relatively better, but not so good Where to go, sit there motionless.

"Go and wash the dishes." Gu Tao sat at the table, with a bottle of Erguotou, a plate of fried peanuts, served with twice-cooked pork, and the food was not bad: "You can, I didn't eat much, Both of you have been fucked up by me, you can't usually see that you are so edible."

"You took Jingyuan as a concubine." Xiu Ling turned over and curled up on the sofa: "I can come over and eat."

Jing Yuan didn't even want to talk, he lay there gasping for breath, it must have hurt his throat.

"Stop talking nonsense, wash the bowl for me."

"I told you to wait a moment." Xiu Ling patted his belly: "Look at this, you can't move."

After resting for half an hour, Xiu Ling failed in the backgammon duel with Jing Yuan and went to wash the dishes in a depressed mood, cursing while washing the dishes. Jing Yuan sat on the sofa, took off his shoes and lay flat on it: " Do you know what your apprentices did?"

"How could you not know." Gu Tao took a sip of his wine and took a sip: "Let them torment."

"Why don't you have hot water for washing dishes? How can I wash without hot water!"

Xiu Ling's shouts came from the kitchen, and Gu Tao turned his head: "You will eat what you eat, and I will let you do some work. If you keep talking nonsense, you won't be able to eat next time."

"Oh……"

Xiuling is really not reconciled, but there is no way, the food in Kunlun is too light, and the food outside always feels like something, after eating this meal today, people’s mouths are soft, if you are murdered, you will be murdered, so that you can have a good time next time Rice, bear with it.

"What did you plan to do?"

"Young people need a team of young people. In the future, He Yuxiang will retire sooner or later. In theory, the base does not allow people over the age of 45 to take power."

"Ok?"

Jing Yuan was stunned, then raised his head and looked at Gu Tao: "Why? When did you have such a rule?"

"Although it is cruel, you have to admit that once a person is over 45, his passion and creativity will avalanche. Maybe you will say that he has more experience and is more stable. But in fact, we allow mistakes, but when an organization is gone Creativity and aggressiveness, it will be cold. Therefore, we must quickly metabolize people from the previous generation, retreat them to the six sons, or establish a new thing at that time."

"Well, I see. So you set up several different branches, in fact, in order to have a competitive relationship between them in the future?"

"Being in the same family will eventually lead to internal fighting. Struggle within a certain range is allowed and necessary. It is a healthy competition mechanism. Of course, it may turn into vicious competition, but be optimistic, even if it is vicious Compete, and that will last longer than slow decay. You can see throughout history that constant infighting, though costly, never dies."

"Oh." Jing Yuan didn't even bother to turn over, and just lay there straight: "It's good."

"Just these two words?"

"What kind of guidance do you want me to give you? Anyway, my little apprentice has at least ten years to go before he becomes a teacher. Why should I be so anxious. You can torment yourself."
-
It's the holidays in the past two days, my family is quite busy, it may be a little unstable, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
