26. Steamed Snakehead and Stir-Fried Bean Sprouts

Ye Huangui explained with a smile: "Yes, after the beans are soaked and placed in a humid and dark place, they will sprout bean sprouts in a few days. I didn't bring many vegetables when I set off, so let's make do with bean sprouts first. When the temperature rises, there will be wild vegetables on the roadside."

Tan Duzhi nodded silently: "Yes." He paused: "It's time for two sticks of incense."

Ye Huangui hastily lifted the lid of the pot. At this time, the snakehead in the pot had changed its appearance. Its meat split from the flower knife, revealing the snow-white garlic clove meat.The fish skin also turned from gray-black to gray-white, and some light yellow soup appeared on the plate.

Ye Huangui picked up the fish bowl through the rag with one hand, and held down the body of the fish with chopsticks in the other hand. He took the bowl to the pool and tilted the plate slightly, and the soup in the plate was poured into the pool.

Ye Huangui quickly picked out the fish and the ginger from the plate and threw them into the kitchen scraps bucket aside, then he covered the fish with a handful of finely chopped green onions and ginger.It wasn't over yet, he scooped a spoonful of oil from the pan where he fried the small fish just now and poured it on the scallion and ginger.

Although the flame in the stove has been extinguished, the heat preservation of the stove is much stronger than that of ordinary pots.Even after such a long time, the oil in the pot is still boiling hot.When it was poured on the scallion and ginger, there was only a sting, and the taste of scallion and ginger was completely stimulated.

The oil rolled down the fish body to the plate, and the fish body covered with scallion and ginger shreds looked oily and smelled delicious.After Ye Huangui poured soy sauce around the fish, the smell of soy sauce was immediately added to the smell of the fish.

Ye Huangui put the steamed fish on the table, and he said to Tan Duzhi, "Eat it while it's hot! I'll fry some bean sprouts!"

As he spoke, he turned to the vegetable sink and quickly cleaned the mung bean sprouts.Bean sprouts are very clean, as long as they are soaked in water, the bean shells attached to them will float on the water.Light yellow roots grow under the bean sprouts. These roots can be eaten, but the taste will be worse.

Ye Huangui cut off the root system of the bean sprouts with two or three strokes of scissors. At this time, every bean sprout left in the Shau Kei was white and tender.

Ye Huangui scooped out the water from the fish steaming pot before, and after rinsing the pot for a while, he raised the fire in the stove and turned it to the maximum.

When the green smoke came out of the pot, he took half a spoonful of oil from the pot next door and poured it along the side of the pot.As soon as the oil was put into the pot, the green smoke in the pot became bigger.

Tan Duzhi especially likes to watch Ye Huangui stir-fry vegetables, especially when stir-frying vegetarian dishes.The flexible dishes in the hot iron pan were flipped up and down between the spatulas. Every collision between the spatula and the iron pan and the sound of oil and water stinging made him feel alive every time.

Three meals a day are the most comforting. The busy and lively sound of cooking is more beautiful than the enchanting singing voice of the beautiful singer in the feasting and feasting.

The bean sprouts are best fried, just need a little fine salt, add a few shovels and stir-fry to get out of the pan.If conditions allow, you can add a few green chives or bright red peppers, so that the fried chives are full of color, fragrance and taste.

However, Ye Huangui didn't have any colorful side dishes in his hands for the time being, so he adopted the simplest and rudest method.When the bean sprouts softened, Ye Huangui found a plate and filled the bean sprouts with their juice.

A plate of crispy and tender bean sprouts lay pretty and alive on the plate, and oily flowers glistened on the smooth bean sprouts.Ye Huangui used a shovel to shovel a pit in the middle of the plate, and the bean sprouts piled up into a small circular basin.

The bean sprouts do not have a strong flavor, and only have a light bean fragrance after frying.They are not as coquettish as other dishes, but they have a unique taste.At this moment, they are using their bodies to summon the two of them: Come and eat me!

Ye Huangui turned around and put the bean sprouts on the dining table. When he turned his head, he found that Tan Duzhi was sitting at the dining table, and the snakehead still kept its original appearance.

Ye Huangui was puzzled: "What's the matter, Old Tan? Are you feeling unwell?"

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice, "Wait for you."

Ye Huangui immediately understood what Tan Duzhi meant. He wanted to say that he would wait for him to eat together.With this realization, Ye Huangui's heart was completely warmed up.

As a chef, he hopes that the dishes he cooks can be recognized by the guests.As an ordinary person, he hopes that his dedication will be recognized by his relatives and friends.How happy it is to have someone who is willing to wait for him to eat with him!

Ye Huangui smiled and sat down: "Yes! Let's eat together!"

Channa channa was only steamed for a short period of two sticks of incense, but its skin was so soft that it broke when you picked it up with chopsticks.After the white fish meat was steamed, its head poked out impatiently from the flower knife on the fish skin. When the chopsticks touched it lightly, the fish meat was separated from the bone like a garlic clove.

At this time, dip the fish skin and meat into the soup on the plate, and the fish will be stained with a light sauce color.Put it in your mouth while it is hot, and the soft fish skin melts between your lips and tongue. The delicious fish is tender and fresh. The sauce not only does not cover the sweetness of the fish itself, but also makes the sweetness in the fish more obvious. up.

Compared with yesterday's Shatang Channa Tofu Soup, today's steamed Shatang Channa is better for Tan Duzhi to taste the taste of the fish itself.

Tan Duzhi was once invited to a banquet by other fellow Taoists. There were all kinds of fish on the banquet, but the fish all smelled fishy to some extent.However, from the fish he ate for the past two days, he only felt the freshness, not the slightest fishy smell.

Ye Huugui picked most of the fat and boneless meat from the back and belly of the fish and put it in Tan Duzhi's bowl. Tan Duzhi glanced at him, and he took half of the fish from the bowl and put it in Ye Hugui's bowl Zhong: "I can do it myself, you should eat more."

Ye Huangui's eyes turned into two curved crescents when he smiled: "Yeah!"

Although the steamed fish is fresh and tender, it is not too much to eat. At this time, the bean sprouts can give full play to their effects.The crisp bean sprouts are crunchy when chewed. Under the dual effects of the bean sprouts' own slight sweetness and seasoning salt, the bland dish does not taste bland.

Fearing that Tan Duzhi would be bored eating, Ye Huangui introduced, "Did you know? Bean sprouts are also called wishful dishes."

Tan Duzhi, who was picking up bean sprouts, thought about it: "Ruyi vegetables?"

Ye Huangui picked up a bean sprout and said with a smile: "When the bean sprouts first came out, they had a big head and a thin body like a wishful stalk, so they were called wishful vegetables."

However, the bean sprouts he made did not have a big head. If the bean sprouts were made from soybeans, the head would be more obvious.

Tan Duzhi said slowly: "This name is good." As you wish, as you wish.

Ye Huangui smiled and picked food for Tan Duzhi: "After eating Xiaoye's wishful dishes, Lao Tan will be able to do everything well!"

The corner of Tan Duzhi's lips twitched: "Okay."

Ye Huangui looked at the two dishes on the table, he was actually a little guilty.Even if these two dishes are blown out, they are too bland.He could only comfort himself: "I read on the map that there is a forest ahead. When we get to the forest, I'll look for wild vegetables to dig."

He licked the corner of his mouth: "There should be shepherd's purse and wild onions in this season. If you can find shepherd's purse, I'll make you shepherd's purse wontons, okay?"

Tan Duzhi stopped his chopsticks when he heard the words: "Do you know the name of the forest ahead?"

Ye Huangui said embarrassedly: "Hey, I only saw a large forest, but I didn't pay attention to the name. Is there any problem with this forest?"

Tan Duzhi said: "That forest is called 'Forest of No Return', which means the forest that people can't come back after entering.

"There is a relic of the ancient power in the forest. I have visited that relic. Most of the relics have been destroyed, but the core formation can still be used. It leads directly to the Mo Ling Mountain, and the monsters of the Mo Ling Mountain can enter the ruins along the way. Do not return to the forest.

For this reason, the Forest of No Return is also the most dangerous forest outside the Xuanling Mountain Range.Even if the disciples of the nearby sects patrol every day, there will be cases of monsters hurting people.

Ordinary people who want to pass through the forest need to stop at the post station outside the forest and be escorted by monks from nearby sects before they can pass.After entering the forest, everyone must walk within the protective barrier of the monks, and if they leave without authorization, they will be at their own risk. "

In this case, want to sneak out to dig wild vegetables?Unless you don't want to die!

Ye Huangui was confused: "Hey? Is it like this?!"

He regretted it, when he left Nine Clouds City, there were two roads in front of him, one went east and the other went south.Ye Huangui saw a forest to the east, he thought that there were few people in the forest, Tan Duzhi would have little chance of being exposed, and he could take the opportunity to find something to eat, but it turned out that the forest was the most dangerous place on the eastbound road? !

Ye Huan regretted not being in the past, and he was very annoyed: "Oh, I knew I would have taken the road to the south. What's the matter, Old Tan? If we don't return to the forest, will you be discovered by people in the sect?"

Tan Duzhi calmly picked up a chopstick of bean sprouts and stuffed them into his mouth: "It's okay, I can take Huanyan Pill."

Ye Huangui asked: "How many days does Buguilin need to go under the escort of monks?"

Tan Duzhi said: "If the situation goes well, you can get out of the forest in seven or eight days. If it doesn't go well, you won't be able to get out."

Ye Huan shrank his neck: "Then... I hope we can go out smoothly. I will send out more bean sprouts later, and I will wrong you in the past few days. After we leave the forest, I will make it for you." food."

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice, "It's okay."

After traveling east for two days, the road became rough.The puppet car really couldn't walk on such a bumpy road. Ye Huangui didn't expect that they would encounter a terrible challenge before they reached Buguilin—they couldn't ride the puppet car!

Fortunately, they still had auspiciousness. After taking away the puppet car, Ye Huangui carried Tan Du on the back of the mule.In order to lighten Jixiang's burden, he chose to walk by and hold Jixiang.

Jixiang was very obedient, and it obediently carried Tan Duzhi forward.It's just that Tan Duzhi felt uncomfortable. He looked down at Ye Huangui, who was struggling to walk ahead, his eyes were dim. He considered himself a proud person, and the humiliation of his opponents never made him bow his head.

At this time, he felt extremely guilty, he never thought that he would become Ye Huangui's burden.

Thinking of this, he looked at his limp legs and right hand.When will his bottleneck period pass?

At this moment, Jixiang stopped abruptly. It paced uneasily in small steps, its body tensed and its nostrils wide open, and a pair of pointed ears stuck to the back of its head like a cat.

Ye Huangui looked at Jixiang's movements suspiciously, and he reached out and stroked Jixiang's mane to comfort him, "Jixiang? What's wrong?"

Tan Duzhi said in a deep voice: "There are monsters approaching. It's not a big deal."

While speaking, the shrubs in the forest in front of Jixiang trembled, and three leopard-shaped monsters with black and red bodies jumped out of it.The monsters have sharp teeth and lumps of muscle under their tight skin. Most importantly, their size is comparable to that of auspiciousness!

Ye Huangui's eyes darkened, and he gasped: "This is... no big deal?!"
