It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Of course, Kucaigan was just a harmless "flirting", or some kind of secret interest between the two of them.In the six-layer red lacquer food box, after Han Ji opened it, he found that the other five layers were for normal food. Spring is here, and Xie Shi gave Han Ji a lot of "kueh".

"Kuih" is a unique appellation for dim sum such as rice noodles in Chaoshan, Fujian, Taiwan and other places. Among them, the "Kuih" products in Chaoshan area are the most famous and the most famous. Chaoshan people, how many kinds of "kueh" are there?I'm afraid he can't give an accurate answer either.

The food box has a special fresh-keeping device. There is a kind of kueh on each floor, including carrot kueh, mouse shell kueh, red peach kueh, zhi kueh, and bamboo shoot kueh, which are divided into crystal white, light blue, water red, brown yellow and milk white. The five colors are neatly arranged, which is really eye-catching.There are twelve pieces of each kind of kueh in the food box, but they are all smaller and more exquisite than ordinary "kueh". Except for zhi kueh, which needs to be sliced ​​to eat, the rest can be eaten in two or three mouthfuls just by lightly holding them with silver chopsticks one.Such exquisite workmanship makes these folk "kueh" products with a rural atmosphere into small treasures.

After Xie Shi returned to Le County, a few days later, it was the time of the Awakening of Insects. Accompanied by bursts of spring thunder, the underground stinging insects came out, and the mountains revived.However, not only stinging insects emerged from the ground, but also many seasonal goodies.Xie Shi didn't have time to go for an outing in the forest, but there were a lot of mountain goods at home, all of which were farmers from Xie's Villa and women, children, and children from the Nursing Home. Hearing that the Lord's family had returned to Le County, they had prepared a few vehicles for many years. The bullock carts were sent to Xie's house.

It was Huang Wu who was responsible for bringing these things over. He thanked him at the same time and said that because of the annual gifts and benefits he distributed to everyone in the farm before the new year, the farmers were able to live a rare and good year. Many people were grateful. They should have During the Chinese New Year, I came to kowtow to Xie Shi to pay New Year's greetings, but Xie Shi was not there, so I had no choice but to give up. Although these things are not worth a lot of money, they are all gratitude and heart to Xie Shi.Xie Shi looked at the mountain goods full of goods, and saw that they were not valuables, so he smiled and asked people to take them away.

The bulk of the mountain goods are several baskets of spring bamboo shoots that are green and have a smell of earth. Spring bamboo shoots are a good thing and can be used to make some food, but it is obviously too much to eat in one meal. broken.Therefore, Xie Shi not only made dried bamboo shoots with Zhi Zhi's servants, but also tried to pickle a crock of sour bamboo shoots.

Let’s talk about dried bamboo shoots first. The method of making dried bamboo shoots is learned by the same old foodie. When the bamboo shoots spring up and the river prawns are fat, peel off the shells of the bamboo shoots and cut them into shreds. Shrimp roe in soy sauce, after three to five days, take it out and dry it in the sun, and store it in a sealed container.When cooking fish or making meat, add some dried bamboo shoots prepared by this method. Not only is it as delicious as ever, but it also enhances the fragrance forever. Let's cook that old duck soup, it is even more delicious.

As for the sour bamboo shoots, Xie Shi had no other gimmicks. Returning to nature, wash the bamboo shoots and put them in a pottery jar, sprinkle with some snowflake salt from Changle Salt Field to marinate them, then submerge and seal them with clean and clear mountain spring water. Splash a little oil into the marinating tank, and after ten days, you can enjoy a tank of sour bamboo shoots that taste sour and lingering.

The most famous way to eat sour bamboo shoots is in Guangxi. The sour, smelly but appetizing taste in snail noodles, old friend noodles, and Guilin rice noodles comes from sour bamboo shoots and sour bamboo shoot juice.After Xie Shi came to ancient times, he had never eaten anything similar to snail noodles. He wanted to try it after the sour bamboo shoots were successfully marinated. This "stinky" delicacy.

Dried bamboo shoots and sour bamboo shoots are both flavors that take time to brew. Xie Shi himself has not eaten them, and Han Ji, who is far away in Fuzhou, cannot share them. But when Xie Shi saw that the farmers sent not only spring bamboo shoots, but also Several kinds of edible mushrooms, etc., as well as a few baskets of charcoal, about a hundred catties of firewood, and even a few loads of ground rice noodles, I simply used the rice noodles and mushrooms sent here, and most of the remaining spring bamboo shoots , made bamboo shoots.

Among the kueh sent to Han Ji, the one with a milky white skin is the bamboo shoot kueh.Sun cakes are not very famous among the "kueh" in the Chaoshan area, but when Xie Shi followed the old professors to the fields of Jiangdong Town, Chaozhou, he ate a very famous local bamboo shoots. When we arrive, we will make some.

The skin of the bamboo shoots is pure rice skin without any other ingredients, so after steaming, the color is milky white like jade, and it tastes soft and chewy. The spring bamboo shoots are cut very finely and mixed with fine dried shrimp and minced meat , add some minced mushrooms and stir-fry them together, and fill them as stuffing. This method takes spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms to be extremely fresh, with the salty fragrance of the sea of ​​dried shrimps, and the pure fragrance of wrapped rice. This makes the bamboo shoots clear and delicious Kueh.

Xie Shi and his family members made a lot of bamboo shoots. If they are stored properly, they can be kept for about seven days. Xie Shi not only sent some to relatives and friends around, but more importantly, he made a small one by himself and asked someone to give it to Fuzhou Han Ji sent it to invite him to have a taste of spring in Le County.But since we have to make a trip, it would be a waste of manpower and material resources to just send bamboo shoots, so Xie Shisui added a few more.

The brown-yellow zhi kueh made of crushed gardenia mixed with glutinous rice noodles has a plant-like fragrance and tastes like rice cakes. It is delicious when eaten dry with sugar or wrapped in egg liquid and fried in a pan; The Caitou Kueh steamed from white radish is crystal clear, refreshing, crisp and tender. When eaten, it is sliced ​​and fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a tangy aroma.

As for the green-skinned rat shell cake, although it has a strange name, it has nothing to do with "rat". It is dense and sweet mung bean paste filling. The appearance of this kind of cake is the same as the red peach cake filled with salty bean kernels. It is a triangular longevity peach shape printed on a special mold, which symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness. It also means that it is dedicated to Offerings to ancestor gods.

"Kuih" is called a Chaoshan snack. In fact, this meaning is not entirely correct. According to Xie Shi's observation, "Kuih" should be a sacrifice for people in Chaoshan area to worship gods and ancestors. Of course, because Chaoshan people need to worship "seasons" There are so many that it seems that "kueh" is made and eaten all year round.

Xie Shi gave some long-lasting "kueh", so when it arrived in Han Ji's hands, even after two days, the taste still remained the same.Xie Shi was afraid that Han Ji and the cooks of the Han family had never tasted these "Kuih" products, so he specially wrote how to eat them and put them in the food box, and told him to share them with his subordinates if he couldn't finish them.

Therefore, although it was not in season, the ministers who were busy with the official office and had no time to eat, all received the food sent by their lord on the occasion of today's evening meal. Jun was at a loss, and immediately asked Zhou Ping, who was in charge of delivering things, to ask about the Lord's intentions.Could it be implying that their military situation is urgent and they need to work overtime?

Zhou Ping felt helpless, the master rewarded his ministers this rare time, and the group of adults who usually planned strategies and pointed out the country was frightened, so he had to tell them one by one, "This is the food sent by Mr. Xie from Le County. All adults are just sharing, there is no other intention, all adults can enjoy it with peace of mind."

Only then did the ministers heave a sigh of relief, "It's something sent by Mr. Xie, so it's fine."

Zhou Ping: ...

At first, I thought that the matter of the swan geese passing on the letter and the feeding of the fast horse had come to an end. However, before Han Ji sent the reply letter, he received the second letter from Xie Shi, and Han Ji opened it. Seeing it, he raised his eyebrows and chuckled lightly.

Compared with the last long letter, the letter seemed too short, and even a page was not enough to write. The main reason was that Xie Shi was quite speechless at this time. A large bunch of Haizhou fenugreek, casually murmured, "Copper grass with such a blue color is rare, there must be no copper mines in the ground", and then it became a prophecy...

The next day, Cen Yu hurriedly led people to Le County. Although the journey was full of dust and dust, when Cen Gu'an saw Xie, his eyes were amazingly bright, and he took out a map from his sleeve and said: "Xie Banxian, you can give me some pointers." , Where else is there a mine on this map? I led people to dig it together."

Xie Shi smiled helplessly, now he is fine, he can't get rid of these nagging names, obviously he didn't do anything feudal and superstitious.

"I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have that ability, Mr. Cen should hire someone else."

Cen Yu looked at his eyes, obviously not believing, even the little official under him couldn't help whispering this time: "Mr. Xie, you went back to Xuetian, didn't you just order a Tianhuang stone mine?"

Xie Shi: ...I can't explain this to you, because I really just dug the soil casually.

Can't say no to others, Xie Shi "threatened" and said: "Do you still want to know where the copper mine is?"

Cen Yu hurriedly corrected his attitude, sat down when Xie was pulled, and took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea from the purple clay pot, "Come, come, come, this time I was ordered by the Lord to bring a lot of ore hunters with me, Tan Wei Tell me first, how did you discover this copper mine this time?" You know, he has stayed in Le County for many years, but he has never found any mines, and he has never even had a vision. Xie Shi came here, good guy, the mine was discovered twice a year, it seemed that this mine was hidden in the past, and it was specially prepared for Xie Shi, no wonder they speculated that he was a fairy!

Xie Shi shook his head, "I didn't discover this copper mine," Xie Shi started from the incident where the little girl in the nursing home gave purple flowers, "I just said that casually, but the steward Huang of the farm nearby believed it to be true. I found someone to explore the flower-picking place, and found a lot of malachite in the depths of a cave, so I reported this to me. I took a craftsman who is familiar with the mine to go there , I didn’t see anything, but the craftsman thought there was a mine underneath, so I wrote to brother Ji. But don’t be too happy, maybe it’s just a small mine.” To save time and space for joy.

Cen Yu, however, was very confident in Xie Shi's luck, even if he took people to Xie's farm, he didn't find out about this discovery, but unexpectedly discovered a surprise!
