After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

When it opened, the leaves inside had just emerged and looked very tender.The edge of the leaf is lighter than the middle, and the place near the bottom is green. It is only two inches long when you hold it trembling in your hand.

An indescribable smell hit his face, Tan Duzhi frowned slightly: "The smell is a bit strong."

Ye Huangui took the leaf and sniffed it: "Hey, this is the smell of Chinese toon. Those who like this smell will like it very much, and those who don't like it will hate it. What? Old Tan, don't you like this smell?"

Tan Duzhi sniffed again: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's weird."

Ye Huangui smiled: "Don't be afraid! The first time is raw and the second time is cooked! I'll pick some first and cook it. You can taste it. If you don't like it, I won't make it in the future."

Tan Duzhi said: "It's okay, if you like it, it doesn't matter if you pick more."

36. Toon fish and toon fried pork slices

This is a forest of Chinese toon, some tall Chinese toon are three or four feet high.Even if Ye Huangui wants to climb a tree, he has to weigh whether the trunk of the toon can bear his weight.Moreover, compared with the small Chinese toon that just emerged in the forest, the tall Chinese toon germinates later.

Ye Huangui observed for a while and then gave up the idea of ​​picking toon buds from the tall branches. He flicked his sleeves: "I'll just pick the bottom ones! It's definitely enough for us to eat!"

Ye Huangui was really not trying to comfort himself, what he said was true.Tall Chinese toon trees will shed Chinese toon seeds every year, and some seeds will germinate that year, and will be one or two feet high in the next spring.

In addition to relying on seeds to reproduce, Chinese toon tree also has a unique skill - it can reproduce through the root system. Often there will be many Chinese toon trees emerging from the root system around a large Chinese toon tree.Therefore, finding a Chinese toon tree in the mountains means a piece of land!

Beside the stone where Tan Duzhi is sitting, there are many tall and low Chinese toon trees. They stretch red buds and exude a unique smell.

Ye Huangui said happily: "You look so good! I'm so lucky!"

While talking, he picked off the toon buds that were within reach, and saw that the toon tree shook, and the buds on it were gone.Ye Huangui picked the toon buds one by one, and whenever he couldn't put them down in his hands, he would neatly put the toon buds in the basket.

Tan Duzhi looked up at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, and there was a fiery red bird chirping with a bright voice above his head.It was very quiet all around.

Tan Duzhi suddenly said: "Sing a song?"

Ye Huangui raised his head from the toon: "Huh? Lao Tan, do you want to listen to the song?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Yeah." It's strange, why did he suddenly want to hear Ye Huangui sing a few lines?

Ye Huangui thought for a while: "Then, shall I sing you good luck?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Okay."

Ye Huangui let out his voice: "At the beginning of March in Yangchun, the branches are full of winter jasmine and new flowers perch, and the sky leaves patches of white clouds and wind to live on..."

Ye Huangui's voice was clear and gentle. Hearing this song, Tan Duzhi felt a little better.It was Ye Huangui who started to get stuck singing: "... There are returnees in March, and the sound of horses stepping on the grass is urging..."

Tan Duzhi looked over suspiciously: "What's wrong?" Did you forget the words?

Ye Huangui scratched his head in embarrassment: "Hehehe, I seem to have misremembered the title of the song. This song doesn't seem to be called Good Luck, it seems to be called... Spring March?"

Tan Duzhi smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, you can sing whatever you want." Anyway, he didn't know the name.

Ye Huangui was excited when he heard it, he cleared his throat: "...the spring comes in March, and there is a life that breaks the dust, and brings hope and good luck!"

Ye Huangui finally understood why he misremembered the name of this song. It turned out that the last line of the lyrics was good luck, how did he remember it as good luck?

Tan Duzhi savored the song carefully: "It's a good song, I've never heard it before."

Ye Huangui put the bunch of toon buds he picked into the basket, and he lifted the basket and walked towards Tan Duzhi: "Hey, the world is so big, there are so many songs you haven't heard and things you haven't seen! Insufficient Surprising!"

He skillfully put the basket on Tan Duzhi: "I picked so much, it's enough for us to eat. Let's go home and fry the toon fish."

As he spoke, he carried Tan Duzhi on his back, and after walking two steps, he remembered something: "Old Tan, I am really lucky to come to this song. Shall I sing it to you?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Well, you sing."

Ye Huangui cleared his throat: "Hey~~ Hot girl, hot girl, hot girl... Sorry, I remembered wrong. This is hot girl."

Tan Duzhi couldn't hold back: "What kind of song is this, it's weird."

Ye Huangui hummed: "This is good luck! Just wait, you will definitely remember it correctly this time! Fold a thousand paper cranes and tie a red ribbon~"

Ye Huangui went down the mountain while singing, and when he got back to the car, Tan Duzhi's mind was full of 'a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right'.

How to describe this feeling?too over the top...

The mule cart rattled southwards, probably at Cangling Mountain. Ye Huangui had a feeling that he was going home soon, and he felt very relaxed and at ease.No, as soon as he got in the car, he was ready to make fried toon fish.

Tan Duzhi saw that he opened the cabinet again and started digging for flour. He asked, "Didn't you mean fried fish? Where's the fish?"

Ye Huangui smiled: "Hey, frying Chinese toon fish fish does not mean frying Chinese toon and fish together, but the fried Chinese toon leaves are scattered, like fish. Do you want to eat fish? How about we find a toon tonight? Where there is a stream? Shall I cast a net?"

Tan Duzhi shook his head: "No, I'm just asking."

Ye Huangui smiled: "Wait a minute, fried fish is very fast. By the way, do you think the smell of toon is a bit strong? Let me deal with it for you?"

It doesn't matter to Tan Duzhi, he is not picky about food, so far there is no food that Ye Huangui can't eat.

Ye Huangui put half a pot of water in the cauldron, and he ignited the bloodthirsty vines at the bottom of the pot.While speaking, he took three large handfuls of Chinese toon and put them in the pool. He skillfully removed the green roots under the toon and the leaves next to the roots.

The processed Chinese toon is very clean, even if it is washed in water, there will be no dirty things.Ye Huangui put the washed Chinese toon in a Shau Kei to filter the water, and then he was busy making the batter.

Since entering Cangling Mountain, Tan Duzhi's words gradually increased.Ye Huangui thought it was a good thing, as long as he asked, he would definitely answer.For example, at this moment, Tan Duzhi started to ask again: "Are you making crispy syrup?"

Ye Huangui gave Tan Duzhi a thumbs up in surprise: "As expected of Old Tan, you actually memorized the crispy pulp!"

Tan Duzhi said modestly: "It's okay."

But what Ye Huangui is going to make today is either crispy batter or ordinary batter.He patiently explained: "I don't make crispy batter today. The crispy batter is better for frying meat dishes. We are cooking vegetarian dishes today, so ordinary batter will do."

As he spoke, he dug five tablespoons of flour into the big bowl, then he opened the starch bag and dug two spoons of starch into it.

Tan Zhenzhen began to seek knowledge again: "Flour and starch... What is the difference?"

Ye Huangui scratched his head: "Hmm...Flour generally refers to flour made from wheat, which can be used as a staple food. Starch refers to the powder taken from other seeds, which is usually used for thickening or something like that?"

If it were any more complicated, Ye Huangui would not be able to say it.

Fortunately, Tan Duzhi didn't ask, he nodded and sat aside obediently.Ye Huangui breathed a sigh of relief. He cracked four eggs in the bowl, and then he put a spoonful of salt and a little peppercorn noodles: "Put a little peppercorns? I think it will taste better."

Tan Duzhi said: "Listen to you."

Ye Huangui mixed the ingredients in the big bowl together. The spoon he used was a bit big, and the fried fish was a bit too much, and the egg liquid was not enough to soak all the flour and starch.But don't worry, he added a few spoonfuls of water to the bowl, and the batter soon turned into a bowl of milky yellow liquid.

Pick it up with chopsticks, and the batter can hang down along the chopsticks.Ye Huangui thinks that the batter is enough. If the batter is too thick, the fried fish will eat oil and the taste will be worse.

At this time, the water in the pot finally boiled, Ye Huangui lifted the lid and poured the Chinese toon in the Shau Kei into the pot.The red and tender Chinese toon turned into a beautiful emerald green after meeting the boiling water. At the same time, a smell of Chinese toon suddenly burst out, and Tan Duzhi felt a little dizzy when he smelled the smell.

Not long after the Chinese toon turned green, Ye Huangui scooped them up and put them in a basin that had already been filled with cold water.After the Chinese toon cooled down, he took the Chinese toon out of the cold water and squeezed the moisture from the leaves.

Up to now, the preparation work before frying the fish is almost done.

The half pot of oil in the small pot was heating up slowly, Ye Hugui was standing next to the stove holding up a pair of long chopsticks, he dipped the tips of the chopsticks into the oil pot from time to time to check the oil temperature.

When the bubbles from the tips of the chopsticks are medium-sized, the oil is warm enough.Ye Huangui turned the heat at the bottom of the pot to medium, picked up a few Chinese toon flowers and threw them into a large bowl to coat with batter.

The emerald green Chinese toon was soon covered with a layer of yellowish batter. The batter Ye Huangui made this time was a little runny, and the batter dripped down.He quickly picked up the big bowl, and then threw the Chinese toon one by one into the pan for frying.

There was a puff of smoke rising from the pan, and the sound of batter exploding slightly.The toon leaves stuck together by the batter began to unfold under the action of high temperature when it was put into the pot, looking like a peacock spreading its tail.

After a while, the toon that went down first was already golden in color, Ye Huangui quickly scooped them up and put them on a large plate aside.

When frying things, there are many people who see that things are about to be fried, they will turn off the fire and slowly pick up the things because they are afraid of over-frying or wasting fuel.As everyone knows, in this way, the oil can easily soak into the food, and the fried food will be greasy after being picked up.

However, when fishing with a fire, the fat in the food will be forced out by the high temperature instead, and it will taste crisp and not greasy.

Ye Huangui didn't know what theory this was. After he tried it a few times, he would rather fish faster than turn off the fire.

After a while, the large plate next to the stove was filled with golden toon fish.The smell of the toon itself was diluted by the smell of frying, and even Tan Duzhi, who was dizzy from the smell, could accept the smell.

Ye Huangui brought the fish to Tan Duzhi: "Old Tan, eat!"

Tan Duzhi glanced at Ye Xugui: "Together."

Ye Huangui smiled: "That's fine, you wait for me for a while, I'll pick up the fish from the pot and eat them together."

The oil temperature is high, and the Chinese toon has been blanched, so the toon fish will be fried quickly.Ye Huangui filled two big plates full.When he put the two plates of fish on the table, he would give himself a thumbs up: "It's the first time I fried so many Chinese toon!"

Tan Duzhi looked up at him: "Huh?"

Ye Huangui sighed: "I used to be alone, and I couldn't get interested in doing anything. It will be fine in the future! With you here, I can study more dishes!"
