Mr. Minguo's kitchen

When Lin Zhenpeng and Wang Xiaoyang returned to Xiaobieye under the sun, besides a pile of snails in the small basket on their backs, they also caught some snails.Young Master Lin was in a good mood at the moment, so he added an extra meal to them. Liuzhou's first snail noodle, Lin Weirui, had never made it before, but he had eaten it anyway.

Add star anise, pepper, basil and other ingredients to the brine for soaking sour bamboo shoots, and boil it with high-quality pork ribs and snails just picked up from the river. Only the soup base remains.

After the rice noodles are boiled in water, they are soaked in the boiled soup base, and oyster meat and shrimp are added to enhance the freshness.Sprinkle the essential sour bamboo shoots, fungus, peanuts, fried yuba, day lily, fresh green vegetables, and green onions. In order not to answer the unsolvable question of why there is no snail in the snail noodles, Chef Lin will also add fried snails After removing the shell, sprinkle it on, and finally pour a bowl of red chili hot oil-it can be said to be the supreme snail powder.

In the summer, the two children buried themselves in front of a bowl that was bigger than their own faces, sweating profusely from eating.I didn’t expect this kind of smelly food to be particularly addictive. The noodles are so strong that you can suck them to the end. Then you can take a bite of the special sour bamboo shoots made by Lin’s restaurant, and finally take a sip of the soup base. It’s sour, spicy, refreshing, fresh, and delicious. hot.Aunt Fat swallowed, Lin Weirui glanced at her and asked her to go to the kitchen to serve noodles.

"Young master, don't you try?"

"No, you can eat."

The fat aunt muttered that the young master must think that the soup smelled bad and needed to change clothes, and she couldn't wait to go to the kitchen. Ah Fu, who had just come back from an errand, even forgot his business, and chased him to the kitchen after smelling the smell .China may really be a magical country that eats stinky food. In the past, there was stinky tofu, and now there is snail powder.

Lin Weirui changed clothes and went downstairs, and continued to read the newspaper in the small living room. The way he held the newspaper was different from others. Others read the newspaper with both hands, and some even wore a pair of gold-rimmed or presbyopic glasses. Fold it in place, hold it with one hand, clamp the index finger and middle finger, and put the other hand across the chest, read the newspaper like a book, and read one page after another.

This movement is awkward, but he does it pleasing to the eye, especially when he is wearing a white satin gown, with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and slightly pursed thin lips, just like a painting.

Ah Fu finished eating two big bowls of snail noodles, changed his clothes before coming forward to report, there is no way the young master loves cleanliness, if he wants to be the biggest dog leg under his seat, he must also love cleanliness!At this moment, Lin Weirui also finished reading the newspaper.

"Master, you haven't been in charge of the restaurant for the past few days, and the shopkeeper Tong has not had any problems at the restaurant. The restaurant is still full of customers these few days, and the newly recruited chefs in the back kitchen have been trained by Master Zhang. Something went wrong. The wine in the cellar over there is almost running out, and there are always customers wanting to buy another drink in the past half a month. How do you think about this?"

In order to keep the Immortal Wine in the cellar from being emptied, Fenglaiju has started to limit the drinks ordered by each table in the past few days, with a maximum of two bottles, depending on the number of people.This is really frustrating for those diners who have just tasted good things and live by pointing at the meal and the bottle of wine every day. Ladies and gentlemen, the young master of the Lin family can't afford to offend, and the poor shopkeeper Tong has become the object of everyone's dissatisfaction.Seeing the chubby ocean flying away from his eyes, shopkeeper Tong was so anxious that he couldn't even drink water to lose weight.

"It's troublesome to brew this wine. It's not ready yet. I'll see if I can change to a faster one." Ah Fu nodded with concern. He, who has done it before, naturally knows how complicated the brewing method of this fairy wine is.

The first step of this ordinary brewing is to soak the koji, but the end of the koji of Shenxian wine needs to be soaked in empty water. The empty water is actually the clear soup after clarification of the rice soup, but you have to think that this is just a simple rice soup. The water is completely wrong. Although Ah Fu has never seen all kinds of concoctions during the period, it is best to use the koji soaked in this kind of water to make wine.

The glutinous rice for wine making must be washed twenty or thirty times, otherwise it will not be clean enough to be used for brewing. After the rice is steamed three times until it is completely soft and rotten, it is spread out to enjoy the coolness overnight, and then it can be put into the soaked koji and fully stirred until it becomes rotten porridge. shape.When the wine is fermented, put in two buckets of rice and stir three times according to the previous method. There is no uniform standard for temperature control and time control, only Lin Dashao's hands and nose.After the weather has cooled down a bit, put in three buckets of rice, seal it tightly with yellow clay wine soaked in empty water, and wait for more than 30 days before it is considered brewed.

It takes more than 50 days to brew wine, which is troublesome!But it is precisely the wine brewed with such trouble that has become the signature of Fenglaiju today!A small cup of wine sells for ten yuan in restaurants, tsk tsk, people with money in their pockets can't afford it.Even so, it is still in short supply.

When the adults were talking about things, Lin Zhenpeng and Wang Xiaoyang hid on the stairs and took a peek.

"Actually, I also have a big brother." But he is not at home all day, idles around, smokes opium, and comes to get money when he runs out of money, which is also the reason for their difficult life.So every time Brother Wang came home, he would stare at him fiercely, and if he dared to hit his sister-in-law and mother, he would pounce on him and bite him.

"Ah, what do you want to do in the future? I want to make a lot of money!" But I don't give my brother a penny!

"I want to be as powerful as Big Brother!" So powerful that no one dared to say that he was an illegitimate child and a stain on Big Brother.

"Well! Then you cover me, and I will make money for you to spend!"

"no problem!"

The two children checked the box as if something had happened, and then began to discuss countermeasures.

"You want to be like your elder brother, so what did your elder brother look like when he was a child? Brother Lin must have been a very good person when he was young. You can learn from it now!"

Lin Zhenpeng thought it made sense, and thought for a while, with a troubled expression on his face, how did he know?He never appeared in this world at that time.

Lin Weirui had heard them whispering there a long time ago, and beckoned like a puppy, lazily saying: "Come here and eat peaches." This is the last batch of peaches on the mountain this year, and it can be used to make pink and white with peach blossom nectar of mincemeat.It looks solid on the surface, but in fact, after washing and biting it, a mouthful of pink juice will pop out. One is as big as an adult's palm, full of natural sweetness of fruit.Lin Weirui has already planned to ask someone to reclaim a special area on the mountain to plant peach trees.

Xiaobawang's two little ones went away, put their little hands on their laps, and sat obediently in front of him to eat fruit with toothpicks. Yes, the peach was cut into pieces. I found it A white porcelain fruit plate, neatly arranged and beautiful, completely in line with the aesthetics of the young master.In fact, compared to Ah Fu, Aunt Fat is more like the first dog under Young Master Lin.

Wang Xiaoyang urged Lin Zhenpeng beside him with his eyes, the younger brother of the Lin family wiped his mouth and asked softly, "Brother, what were you like when you were young?"

Lin Weirui heard this question, put down the book in his hand, and looked at him.

What was it like when I was a child...

Heh, probably a dirty little mouse.

Lin Weirui wasn't originally called Lin Weirui, he was called Lin Xiaocao.Because he was picked up by the head of the orphanage in a bush in the back mountain, so he was called Lin Xiaocao. Apart from the fact that he has a cheap name to support him, I also hope that he will be as tough and tenacious as a spring breeze.

However, when she was nine years old, the orphanage closed down. There were too many children in the orphanage, and the director could only take care of some infants, so she said to nine-year-old Lin Xiaocao: "My child, you have no home. Work to support yourself. You can do anything but steal and rob, kill and break the law, just live. Go.”

At the age of nine, he lived under the overpass with other grown-up children. These children drove away vicious dogs and stray cats, and also designed to drive away adult beggars who snatched things. They supported themselves by picking up garbage.They have the courage and ability beyond their age, but unfortunately they are not able to defeat nature.

Lin Weirui remembered that that year was the coldest winter in Nancheng, and it was the first real snowfall in a century. The snowflakes were beautiful and covered the ground white.But for the children living under the bridge, it is a beautiful disaster.

Lin Weirui said with a faint smile: "When I was a child, I hated being hungry very much, and I hated snow the most."
