Back to the ancient restaurant

Chapter 16 Kitchen Knife

It doesn't take long to wake up to make noodle dough. After about fifteen minutes, Li Zian uncovered the bowl and poured the dough onto the chopping board.After some kneading, the dough becomes smooth.Li Zian took the rolling pin and wiped it, and slowly rolled the dough into sheets.

Standing at the door, Li Hongshen watched the soft ball of dough slowly turn into a round and large piece of dough in Li Zi'an's hands. After folding it a few times, it was cut into shreds with a knife, and it turned into a piece of dough when it was shaken. Thin noodles.Li Zi'an's movements were concise and crisp, without any sloppiness.Li Hongshen watched Li Zi'an cooking but didn't feel boring at all. Looking at his busy but not chaotic back, it made people feel very peaceful. Moreover, although this person's back was not generous, it made people feel unusually generous. sense of security.Even when his mother was alive, he never had such a sense of security.

After being absent-minded for a moment, Li Zi'an had already lighted a fire and started boiling water with his hands and feet deftly.Hearing Li Zian's cough, Li Hongshen came back to his senses and hurriedly lifted up his clothes and walked in the door.

"Let me light the fire for you."

Li Zi'an had to light the fire and watch the pot by himself, so he really couldn't take care of it.But seeing that Li Hongshen is the young master who never sticks to the sun, how dare he ask him to help.Moreover, the earthen stove is hot and smoky in this weather, Li Zi'an is already sweating profusely just by lighting a fire, so why let him stand guard in front of the stove.Hastily refused.However, Li Hongshen paid no attention to it, and walked to the small stool in front of the stove and sat down.

Seeing this, Li Zi'an didn't say anything anymore, and told Li Hongshen about the tricks of lighting the fire, and then started to work in front of the stove.

After the water in the pot boiled, Li Zi'an put the lettuce and pepper shreds into the pot.

Because both are raw and edible ingredients, the blanching time is only a few tens of seconds.Seeing that the shredded lettuce was getting darker in hot water, Li Zi'an hurriedly took the shredded lettuce and chili pepper out of the water and put them in cold water.Then quickly cleaned up the water in the pot, and scooped out a tablespoon of rapeseed oil from the crock.When the oil starts to emit blue smoke, pour it into the millet chili, white sesame and pepper powder prepared in advance.After only hearing the sound of 'tearing', the aroma of various spices was stimulated by the hot oil.After Li Zi'an stirred the sauce evenly with his hands and feet, he put it on the chopping board aside for later use.

Li Hongshen sat on the small bench, watching Li Zian blushing from the heat as he calmly prepared all kinds of ingredients, his smooth movements were really beautiful.Smelling the fragrance in the air carefully, Li Hongshen only felt that his stomach was rumbling.He didn't understand that Li Zi'an was just a dignified scholar who was so proficient in cooking.Is it really the children of the poor who head home early?But it's not that powerful, is it?

There is no need to overcook cold noodles, and it is hand-rolled noodles. Just cook for a minute or two before taking it out of the pan and putting it in cold water.Pour a little sesame oil on such noodles, and it is the most refreshing when paired with fresh, crunchy and sweet cucumber shreds.

After pouring the shredded lettuce with balsamic vinegar and sesame oil, Li Zian tasted it and poured it into the plate.Seeing that Li Hongshen was still obediently sitting in front of the stove and holding a fire stick with a cute face, he couldn't help but smiled knowingly, waved to him and said, "Okay, you don't have to stay in front of the stove anymore, wash your face and get ready to eat."

"Well, don't you need any help?"

Seeing Li Hongshen's blushing face from the heat, Li Zi'an suddenly saw a half-gnawed big apple...,

Seeing Li Hongshen looking at him suspiciously, Li Zi'an coughed dryly and handed him the shredded lettuce on the chopping board.

"Help me take it to the gazebo outside, the noodles will be ready soon."

Li Hongshen responded, and carefully walked into the yard with the tray in his hand.Looking at Li Hongshen's back, Li Zian wiped his face and let out a long breath.

……

Li Hongshen never thought that Li Zi'an was really not a showman, and the side dishes he made were even more refreshing than the chefs in Li's Mansion in Beijing.Paired with strong noodles, a big bowl full of noodles was enough for him to eat.It wasn't until I couldn't help hiccupping that I realized that I was full...

Looking up at Li Zian who was looking at him with a smile on his face, although Li Hongshen didn't show it on his face, his ears turned red quietly.Li Zian looked at the reddish ear tips of the other party, knowing that the other party was shy, and if he looked at him like this again, he would definitely be shy again.It's fun to be funny, but it's not good to be too funny.So, just accept it when you see it.

Seeing that Li Hongshen remained silent, he was in a daze looking at the pleasing growth of straw chrysanthemums in the small flower garden.He took the initiative to say, "How is it? My cooking skills are not bad." Seeing Li Hongshen nodding, Li Zi'an continued, "Would you like to consider coming to my house for meals in the future? As long as you want to eat, I can definitely make it. "

"Cengfan? What do you mean?" Li Hongshen looked puzzled.

Li Zian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and blinked his eyes before realizing that he seemed to have accidentally used the wrong words again.Before Li Zi'an could explain, Li Hongshen realized it himself, and nodded with a very approving expression.

"To be honest, you are more than a star and a half better than the master in our house. Like the master in my house, the noodles can't be so strong, and it's the first time I have eaten cold noodles like this. And the weather is hot in summer , It’s easy to be unable to eat, this kind of hot and sour noodles tastes the most appetizing. I’m not afraid of you laughing, I’ve never eaten such a big bowl.” After that, Li Hongshen took the bowl in front of him, as if I also find it incredible.

Li Hongshen's actions successfully made Li Zian laugh, seeing the other party staring at him with wide eyes and confused face, Li Zian just wanted to rub the other party's head hard.

How can this person be so cute...

"How did you learn to cook? Seeing that you can chop vegetables so neatly, you shouldn't be able to do it overnight, right?"

For this question, Li Zi'an really couldn't answer.I wanted to lie, but because my original background was simple, I really couldn't stand the investigation.I could only blame my talent, so I replied, "My father is a master chef in a restaurant, so it's easy to hear and see. But I usually study abroad, and I don't have many opportunities to cook by myself."

Intuition told Li Hongshen that Li Zian had not told him the truth.It's just that seeing the sadness still passing by in Li Zian's eyes, he was naturally too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it, so he just found a topic and skipped it.

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the time agreed with Huang Zhiyuan was approaching, Li Zi'an packed the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them, went back to his room, changed his clothes, and followed Li Hongshen to the college.

At this time, Huang Zhiyuan was already waiting at the entrance of the college, chatting with the three people next to him.Seeing the two walking hand in hand, he hurriedly bowed to them.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to the two of you."

The two hurriedly returned the salute, looked up and landed on the three young men behind Huang Zhiyuan.

"These are..."

Hearing this, Huang Zhiyuan slapped his forehead, and then explained, "Come on, let me introduce you. These three are my classmates and friends in Linchuan, Li Bozhi, Zhang Xueqian and Hong Yang. talent."

While several people greeted each other, Li Zi'an was also observing them carefully.Li Bozhi and Zhang Xueqian have clear eyes, and they are people who can make friends.But that Hong Yang, Li Zian felt that this person was very uncomfortable the first time he saw that person.Especially when the other party saw Li Hongshen's eyes with a trace of unknown, Li Zi'an felt a little defensive from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone came to Huangshi Town for the first time, and they didn't have a goal in mind.Li Zi'an, the only one who lived in Huangshi Town, rarely went out to hang out, so naturally he didn't have any good suggestions.

"Why don't you go to Wenwan Street? I've been there before, and there are some good things in it."

Because the cousin-in-law is the local county magistrate, for Li Hongshen who came here for the first time, he had a good time with him.There are not many places of interest in Huangshi Town, and there are not many places to visit.In addition to Wenwan Street, which impressed Li Hongshen a little, the only other place is Da'an Temple...

Thinking of Da'an Temple, Li Hongshen turned his attention to Li Zian.Seeing that he was listening intently to Huang Zhiyuan talking about the beautiful scenery of Linchuan, he turned his head.

Xu Shi noticed Li Hongshen's gaze, and Li Zian stopped and saw that the other party was dropped by him two or three meters away, so he quietly let his footsteps wait for Li Hongshen to follow up.When the other party came to his side, he saw a leaf hanging from the hair behind him, so he helped him take it off.The two looked at each other and smiled, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, Hong Yang on the side watched the familiar actions of the two, his eyes deepened, and his hands curled up in his sleeves slowly clenched into fists.

Li Zi'an has been observing Hong Yang silently, and seeing the other party's eyes falling on Li Hongshen from time to time makes him feel extremely uncomfortable.Li Zian quietly hid Li Hong deep inside him, feeling that the other party's knife-like eyes fell on him again, Li Zian turned his head subconsciously, and the other party's eyes flashed and turned his head away.

As the name suggests, Wenwan Street is a place that sells Wenwan calligraphy and paintings, antiques from the former dynasty, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.Li Zian took a general look and found that this place was similar to the Panjiayuan Liulichang in a certain capital.Li Zi'an knew that he was not picking up material, and he didn't have the money to buy it, so he didn't go along with it.

Due to Li Hongshen's family background, he was very interested in these things, and he also did a little research. After a while, he picked out a sweet white porcelain plate and a plum vase from the previous dynasty.In addition, there is also a kitchen knife engraved with a silver dragon.

According to the shopkeeper, this kitchen knife was thrown out of the palace, and Li Hongshen asked the shopkeeper to put it away on the spot without asking the price.Li Zian was on the sidelines and was taken away by the other party before he even had time to stop him.When he walked out of the door and the other party stuffed the kitchen knife into his hand, Li Zi'an felt that the veins on his forehead were about to burst.

The prospective daughter-in-law is a bit of a prodigal, what should I do, wait online, very urgent...
