While other diners were regretting, many diners in Yuchun Building had already finished their food, and they did not forget to take away their chili sauce by the way.
Now they are used to packing one by one, and they don't need to ask the waiter what packing box to buy, they can leave with the small jars by themselves.
Because it was so early that some people returned home, and the young people in the family hadn't started to eat breakfast, and they got up to eat after being shouted again and again.
"Grandpa, are you going to that Yuchunlou for breakfast again?" The young man who got up saw the old man carrying a familiar pot and a paper bag, so he knew that he was going out to eat again.
"Didn't we go out at six this time?" The young man asked. Although he was sleepy, he still had some memories. He remembered that there was no door opening at that time.
"Arrive at seven o'clock, there are fewer people today, and you will be in the front when you arrive at seven o'clock." The old man said in the kitchen, and put the noodles brought back from Yuchun Tower into the boiling water for a while. Sticky noodles boiled.
This is the specially made noodles delivered by Yuchunlou. As long as the noodles are re-dried within half an hour, the taste of the noodles is not much different, so the old man thought that the family members might not have eaten the noodles, so he brought back a copy.
In case the other party eats it, it's not like he can't eat it. Anyway, there is chili sauce, so he's not afraid that he won't be able to eat it.
Seeing the noodles cooked by the old man, the young man immediately guessed that they were probably packaged for him. Looking at the noodles, he was a little disgusted. He originally wanted to go out and buy a cold noodle to eat, but seeing the weather getting colder and colder, There will be fewer sellers of Liangpi, and if you don’t eat it, you won’t be able to eat it.
Although he can eat it at other times, he wants to eat some serious meals at noon and night. Eating Liangpi feels like a waste of meal time, but the old man has given him noodles. If he doesn’t eat at this time, he may usher in a bad day Nagging.
The young man sighed helplessly, went back to the bathroom to wash up, and then heard the voice of the old man calling him out for dinner.
"Okay, I'll be here right away." The young man answered with a loud voice, knowing that if he didn't answer, the old man would keep talking.
Wiping off the water on his face, the old man had already brought the noodles to the dining table, and said with a show on his face: "Today's noodles are definitely better than the noodles I've eaten before, try it."
The young man lacked interest, not to mention that he didn’t like noodles very much, even the 100 yuan bowl of online celebrity noodles he ate some time ago felt that the taste was mediocre, not to mention the noodles that the old man brought back from Yuchunlou.
It's not like he hasn't eaten noodles before, the noodles are quite chewy, but that's it, what's so delicious.
He sat down casually, and found that this bowl of noodles was different from what he had seen before. Yuchunlou used to serve noodles in clear soup, which tasted light and delicious for the elderly, but it was too bland for him. .
But now, the noodles are mixed with some red and green peppers, and the red oil floats on top of the noodles. The spicy smell of the peppers is strong, which makes the young people have a little more appetite.
The original regret was also a little bit less, and I picked up the noodles with chopsticks curiously. The taste of the noodles is still the same as before. It is better than the noodles in ordinary stores, but for a person who does not like noodles so much. Said the difference is not big.
However, the taste of the noodles is quite different from before. The previous taste was light and salty, but now it is mixed with some chili peppers, which is spicy and delicious.
Obviously it was just an extra spicy taste, but the feeling of the noodles was completely different. The young man pulled a bowl of noodles into his mouth in a hurry, and drank a bowl of noodle soup along the way.
In the past, he couldn't understand why some people still love soup so much when they eat noodles, what's so delicious, but now he understands that the noodle soup is really delicious, with a little bit of sweetness in the salty, spicy and spicy, who would not like it? like.
After the young man finished eating, he looked up and saw the smiling expression of the old man, and he asked, "How is it? It's delicious."
It was supposed to be a question, but it became an affirmative sentence when he said it. The old man dared to say that as long as his grandson has no problem with his taste and does not hate chili, then he would not say that this bowl of noodles is not delicious.
"Delicious, very delicious, grandpa, where did you buy the chili sauce for your noodles?" The young man nodded and admitted, and he couldn't help but admit that it was not delicious after drinking the noodle soup and noodles , that's a bit too hard.
However, he is also aware of his grandfather's craftsmanship and the quality of Yuchunlou's noodle soup. He naturally knows that the taste of the noodles can be improved so much because of the addition of chili sauce, otherwise it would not be so delicious.
"I bought it from Yuchunlou," said the old man.
"Yuchunlou still sells this. Grandpa, how much did you buy? I don't seem to be full with this noodle. Why don't I order more noodles and add some chili sauce to eat." The young man felt a little embarrassed as he touched his stomach in surprise. road.
I said I didn’t feel full, but it’s just that I didn’t eat enough chili sauce, and for young people, a bowl of noodles is almost enough, but I can still eat more, and it’s not impossible to stuff more for delicious food.
Hearing what he said, how could the old man not know what he meant? He was not full, and he clearly wanted to rub his chili sauce, so he said directly: "I can buy as much as I can, just a little, and I will use it to make you noodles." Quite a lot, if you want to eat, go to Yuchun Building with me tomorrow for breakfast."
Fearing that he would not believe it, the old man took out the chili sauce he had packed. Even though the chili sauce was double this time, he used up some of it for breakfast and used it up for noodles. Not much left.
As far as this is concerned, when he uses a little for lunch and dinner, it will almost be used up.
But if it’s the usual portion, then you can eat a little more at Yuchunlou, and you don’t need to pack it back, unless you save a little, there will be leftovers, which is why young people have never seen chili sauce before, and old people He has already finished eating the chili sauce, so let him see if there is any extra.
There really wasn't much bright red chili sauce in the jar, and the young man knew after looking at it that his grandfather was probably reluctant to give it to him. After all, if the jar of chili sauce belonged to him, he might not be willing to part with it either.
I just heard the old man talk about the way to buy chili sauce, and the young man was frowning. It is really too difficult to get him to get up early. You have to know who doesn’t stay up late now. Everyone goes to bed at one or two o’clock. It’s a holiday. Take a rest, and it is possible to stay up until three or four o'clock.
My grandfather still knows what time young people get up every day. In the early days, they might go out just after six o'clock, and it was a little later yesterday. But is there any difference between going out at six o'clock and going out after six o'clock?
It's too early for him.
"Is there no other way?" The young man asked distressedly.
"If there is another way, would I just buy this and come back?" The old man couldn't help sighing, he is also a regular diner of Yuchunlou, and one day he asked Wang Xiuquan if it was possible to buy more , As a result, Wang Xiuquan directly stated that it was impossible.
He also told him that if he likes it, eat as much as possible, because it was made by Gu Bai, and Gu Bai might stop selling breakfast at Yuchun Building anytime soon.
Originally, the old man thought it was a bit difficult to get up early every day, but after hearing the news, he stopped being lazy, just because he was afraid that one day Gu Bai would withdraw.
Yuchun Tower is close to his home, so he can still get a number in the queue when he wakes up early every day. If Gu Baixin's shop is far away, it will be difficult for him to go there early, and it will be much more difficult to queue up.
"Is it okay to give more money?" The young man tentatively asked, this chili sauce is so delicious, he is willing to pay more for the food.
"Do you think other people have not thought of this idea? No, let me tell you, just today, because there is a new product of Guokui, someone bought the number in front for [-], because only the first [-] people can buy Guokui .” The old man told what happened today.
The young man gasped, saying that he could accept spending one or two hundred, but he really couldn't accept spending one thousand for a new breakfast, it was too expensive.
"Is that pot helmet so delicious?" The young man was curious.
"It's really delicious. Fortunately, I was lucky today. I happened to be at No. 93. I bought it. It tastes like dried plums, vegetables and meat. It's very fragrant and crispy."
The old man said that the young people were all greedy. Seeing him so greedy, the old man sighed and said, "It's a pity that you didn't go with me today. If you did, you would catch up. I guess you won't be able to eat it later."
Seeing that the young man was puzzled, he continued: "Guokui is sold just once, and I don't know if there is a possibility of selling it next time. Even if there is a chance, I don't know when it will be sold."
Seeing that the young man was still a little hesitant, the old man continued: "I could only buy one serving of this chili sauce before, but now because there are no other meals, I can buy double the serving. You can buy it during this period. Think about it." , if you go these days, getting up early once is worth twice as usual.”
Once and twice, upon hearing this sentence, the young man no longer hesitated, and said firmly, "Then I'll go to bed early today, and go out with you and grandpa tomorrow."
This type of dialogue didn’t just happen in one family. After returning home, many people would ask someone to go buy breakfast with him tomorrow, for no other reason, just for this time, one serving of chili sauce is worth two servings.
Chili sauce can be preserved, save more, and it will taste a lot better when eating at home.
Of course, the most important thing is that the amount of chili sauce that each person can buy this time is more. In the case of one topping twice, many people are moved.
Wumeishan.
Gu Bai got out of the car. The only thing he is grateful for now is the country's road construction. Even though the village at the foot of Wumei Mountain is not too big, at least a road has been built. The road condition is average, but at least it can be opened to traffic.
Otherwise, Gu Bai would be paralyzed from exhaustion if he came here by another car, or walked over.
The best thing is that this road leading directly to Wumei Mountain is also very helpful for transportation. At least after determining the quality of dried black plums, the cost of transportation will not be particularly high, and transportation is not too difficult.
Gu Bai looked around, and found that the name of Wumei Mountain was indeed well-deserved. Although it is not the time for ebony to mature, Gu Bai still recognizes the ebony tree.
Looking all the way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, the densely packed trees are basically ebony trees, with only a few other tree species.
It may be because of the holiday, there are children playing together on the side of the road, and when they see a stranger driving to the edge of the village, they all look over timidly, obviously a little scared of strangers.
The first thing Gu Bai and the others came here was to visit Li Yeliang’s old friend. Originally, Li Yanchuan said that he could go alone, but Gu Bai was too embarrassed to let him go. Instead, he was busy with other things. Just go with it.
They knew each other's address before they came. Although Li Yeliang also gave an address, but so long time has passed, and the locations of various houses and roads have changed, how can it be the same as before.
Fortunately, Li Yanchuan had arranged everything before he came over, and naturally he even knew the other party's address.
The two came to a house, and it could be seen that the house was built well at the beginning, with a brick and wood structure, but other houses are all brick and tile structures, and the brick and wood structure looks bad.
An old man was feeding chickens at the gate, when he saw Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan approaching, he thought they were here to ask for directions, so he got up first: "Don't you know the way?"
Li Yanchuan shook his head and first explained the purpose of his visit. When Li Yanchuan said Li Yeliang's name, the old man froze for a moment, sighed, his expression was a little moved, obviously he also remembered Li Yeliang.
"Come in and sit down." The old man hurriedly called the two of them in, but he frowned when he saw what Li Yanchuan was carrying.
Just now he thought that the two didn't know the way because of the gift Li Yanchuan brought, and thought that he was here because his relatives didn't know the way, but it turned out that the gift was for him.
He wanted to refuse, but thinking that Li Yeliang hadn't contacted him for so long because he didn't want to accept the gift, he became less inclined to refuse.
Especially when Li Yanchuan handed it to him, he peeked at it and found that it was nothing valuable, so he accepted it with peace of mind, turned around and went to the kitchen and brought out two big bowls of sour plum soup for the two of them.
They produce a lot of ebony plums here, so many ebony plums can't be done without doing anything, it's just wasted, some are fresh ebony plums for sale, but it's a pity that the taste of ebony plums is average, few people like to eat them, and they can't sell them at a good price.
Some are made into dried black plums and sold to others, but the price is only average, and they barely make a little money, so they won't lose their money at all.
The rest is to eat by yourself, make sour plum soup, dark plum tea, dark plum porridge, of course, there are also dark plums made into snacks, but unfortunately the method is not proper, even if the dark plums are good, the taste is a bit sour, not like The ebony snacks sold outside are so sweet and sour.
The children in the village were reluctant to buy snacks from outside, so they just ate some homemade dried plums, which tasted just like that, and fooled their mouths.
Gu Bai saw at a glance that the grade of sour plum soup was A grade, he was a little surprised, the other party didn't look like a good cook at all.
After learning cooking skills for so long, Gu Bai is also good at identifying chefs, first look at the opponent's hands, and then look at the standing posture, basically he can tell the difference.
For a good chef, it is very important to protect his hands, because cooking is better only if the hands are dexterous and agile.
The sour plum soup was brought, and he had to drink it, so Gu Bai simply used up a sample coupon, anyway, he wanted to judge the quality of the dried ebony plums today, and when the time came, he would not only smell it, but also taste it.
Gu Bai was still a little thirsty. If the old man didn't bring the sour plum soup, he would have to drink the sour plum soup he brought first. He picked up the bowl and took a sip. Seeing Gu Bai's movements, Li Yanchuan paused for a moment, and then accepted Passed a bowl and drank.
As soon as the sour plum soup was in his mouth, various advantages and disadvantages of this bowl of sour plum soup emerged in Gu Bai's mind. There are still quite a few disadvantages, such as adding too much water, less other ingredients, slightly more dark plums, and no dried osmanthus. Titian, the heat is average, but so many shortcomings can't cover up one advantage. The quality of dried plums is very high, which abruptly improves a dish that is about B-level to A-level.
Li Yanchuan was also a little surprised. He has been used to drinking the sour plum soup given by Gu Bai these days, and he has his own judgment on the taste of the sour plum soup. Almost as soon as he ate the sour plum soup, he found that the bowl of sour plum soup tasted good, better than he imagined. too much.
"Grandpa Shen, your sour plum soup tastes quite good." Gu Bai exclaimed.
"It's alright, alright, I'm not good at cooking, and the black plum is the main thing." Grandpa Shen shook his head, he didn't think he was good at cooking, but the sour plum soup made by the people in his village tasted like him.
What Grandpa Shen said was the truth, Gu Bai didn't continue to boast, the main reason was that he also brought sour plum soup and could make sour plum soup, if Grandpa Shen found out at the time, it would be a bit embarrassing to think about what he said.
The two were chatting, and suddenly found that there were a few more people outside the door, hesitating outside the door, wondering whether they should come in or not.
The person who came was the village cadre of Wumei Village. Although neither Gu Bai nor Li Yanchuan had contacted each other, the village cadre knew that someone had entered the village, and the car he was driving was still a good car, not to mention the driver, bodyguard, secretary, etc. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.
If it's just like this, it's fine. The problem is that the people who came here asked about the production and production of ebony in their village, which made the village officials have to think of a possibility. Could it be that the other party came to buy ebony.
You must know that many years ago, someone came to buy ebony, saying that their ebony was good, and they were going to open a sour plum soup beverage factory. In the end, they made an agreement with them and signed a contract. They took good care of the ebony tree. Also planted some ebony trees.
As a result, when the other party came over in the second year, he bought a small part of it, and then there was no more, because it took some time to wait for him to buy it, and some of the original sales channels couldn't sell anything. So rotten.
Although that experience was terrible, the village still wanted to turn the black plums of this mountain into money as much as possible. No matter how much they earned, they would always make money. If there were none, it would be worse.
It's just that it's not easy for Wumei to sell in large quantities. After waiting, the village cadres thought that they might not be able to wait for the buyer to come when they retired, but they didn't expect to have a surprise now.
It's just that when the other party came, he didn't go directly to the cadres in the village, but went to catch up with them, which made him a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but come over to inquire about the situation.
It’s just that the Shen family’s house is a wooden house, and there are sparse gaps between the logs. Even ordinary people can spot his figure outside, not to mention that Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan’s senses are extremely keen, and they can spot him right away. Existence, got up and walked out.
The village cadre had no time to hide, so he could only look at the two with a dry smile. He was afraid that they might misunderstand, so he quickly introduced himself. His surname is Chen, and he is the village cadre of Wumei Village.
Grandpa Shen also recognized the person who came, and was still in doubt, when he heard the village officials ask Gu Bai if they wanted to buy a batch of dried plums.
As for why it is said to be dried ebony plums instead of ebony plums, the answer is simple, ebony plums mature in May, and now it is more than September, so there are no fresh ebony plums.
Gu Bai was not surprised by his exposure. After all, he guessed the result when Li Yanchuan’s subordinates asked him. Besides, they wanted to buy black plums. Such a large amount of goods can only be purchased from the village. To deal with the village cadres.
When the village cadres heard Gu Bai's confession, they felt joyful from the bottom of their hearts, and became more courteous, wanting to invite Gu Bai to see some dried plums in their village.
The sale of dried ebony plums in their village this year is not considered good, but they dare not waste the unsold dried ebony plums. After all, they are all money, and the shelf life of ebony dried plums is also ten months. Try to store them well before the expiration date. , in case it can be sold.
This is not just waiting for the God of Wealth!
Knowing that Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan still have this matter, Grandpa Shen hurriedly let them go, and then asked the two of them what they like to eat, and he will do it right away.
Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan followed the village cadres to the warehouse where they stored dried plums. It looked a bit shabby, but it had to be said that it was a good place, away from light and ventilated, and there were cats in the warehouse to prevent mice.
Different from pet cats, these cats are all very thin, with a fierce aura when they walk around, and smooth muscle lines. They are fierce at first glance, and they must be good at catching mice.
During the time when Gu Bai came here, he saw a cat caught the mouse, and then ran away with the mouse in its mouth. Its steps were brisk, and it looked like it was going to enjoy a big meal.
Although the dried ebony plums are all sealed and stored, a large number of ebony dried plums have been stored here for a long time, and the sour aroma of ebony plums still remains. Just walking around inside, you can feel the secretion of saliva unstoppable.
Just by smelling this smell, Gu Bai knew that the quality of the dried ebony plums here was good, but whether to buy it or not, he still had to taste it.
Hearing that Gu Bai wanted to taste the quality, the village cadre asked him to pick it randomly. Gu Bai walked around and picked some dried dark plums back. Since the smells were similar, he just picked some at random.
After tasting it, I found that the quality of these dried plums was similar to the ones eaten at Grandpa Shen's house, or it may be better preserved here, and the flavor is better.
Gu Bai is only responsible for judging the quality of dried plums. As for the specific acquisition process, he handed it over to Li Yanchuan, who is not very good at this.
Gu Bai turned his head and went back to cook. Seeing him go back, and thinking about the current time, several subordinates in charge of the investigation immediately thought of the morning meal, and swallowed silently.
It's unlikely, but I still hold out hope.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the boss with envy——Li Yanchuan, they really envied the boss, but they heard that Li Yanchuan and Gu Bai were very familiar, and they often ate the meals made by Gu Bai, which is the rich man's favorite food. happy?
If other people know what they think, they just want to tell him that not all rich people are so happy. For example, Shen Yunian and the others can be regarded as rich people, but it's a pity that they want to eat Gu Bai every day. The meals are also difficult.
But even so, they can occasionally receive Gu Bai's food and feed, and they are doing well. What's more difficult is that some people want to eat Gu Bai's food, but they can't eat it even if they pay, it's just that miserable.
When Gu Bai went back, Grandpa Shen happened to pick vegetables from the field, and there were no good vegetables at this time, just some eggplants, pumpkins, and some peanuts, a small basket of fresh and raw peanuts, look Gu Bai's eyes lit up.
He doesn't like to eat the kind of big and plump peanuts, but this kind of local peanuts is his favorite. Most of them have two kernels, a few have three kernels and four kernels, and occasionally some have only one kernel.
But when it comes to the best time to eat local peanuts, first, when they are just pulled out, the skins of each grain are white with powder, and the kernels are even more white as jade. It tastes like eating fruit, sweet and clear. Sweet and hydrating.
The second is to pull out the peanuts and put them on the ridge to dry for a period of time. The moisture on the surface dries up a little. When the outer shell is peeled off, the peel turns red and is not as thick as before, and the kernels inside are also harder than before. It tastes like peanuts, but with more sweetness.
However, these are tender peanuts, and the peanuts should not be plucked until they are very mature.When it comes out, the taste changes again. Some people like to eat it, and some people don't like it very much.
Gu Bai doesn't like to eat such peanuts raw, but chooses to boil them in salt water. The oil in the peanuts is boiled out, soaking the whole nut, and it has a different taste when you peel it off and eat it.
Seeing Gu Bai's eyes, Grandpa Shen directly put the basket beside Gu Bai for him to eat.
"You're welcome, eat more." Seeing that Gu Bai only took a little, Grandpa Shen urged.
Gu Bai could only take a little more, and now he had to hold the palms carefully, for fear that the peanuts would fall off.
Gu Bai quickly finished eating the handful of peanuts in his hand and hurried to the kitchen to help the old man. Although they were guests, it was somewhat embarrassing for an old man to treat them like this.
The old man was originally unwilling, but seeing that Gu Bai insisted, he could only let him help a little bit, but he was still unwilling to let Gu Bai intervene in the specific cooking.
Gu Bai was washing vegetables here, when he saw the old man go to the door to sharpen his knife, while sharpening the knife while looking at the chickens in front of the house, his attitude was obvious.
It's not that Gu Bai hasn't stayed in the village before, so he naturally knows that if a distinguished guest comes to his door, the owner will kill chickens for cooking.
Gu Bai hurried over to stop him, it's inappropriate for them to kill chickens when they come here, Gu Bai has noticed that there are only two or three chickens in the old man's house, and they are all hens laying eggs , It seems generous to kill them, but this is a native chicken, and it is not easy to raise them to lay eggs.
This chicken lays eggs, and there are more than 20 eggs a month, and the price of local eggs is not low now. Even if they are cheaper, they cost about two yuan each, and the income is more than four or fifty yuan a month.
When Li Yanchuan came back, he saw that one of them was going to kill a chicken and the other was going to stop him. It was a little strange. After listening for a while, he found out the cause of the accident.
Li Yanchuan stepped forward to stop Gu Bai, told him not to stop, and said in a low voice: "The talk is almost over, we will look at it later, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract. There are not many people in this village. If the black plums are purchased, every household will have income."
This matter is relatively small, if Li Yanchuan is not here, maybe there will be a delay, but Li Yanchuan basically has no point of delay, and it is normal to talk about it soon.
And Gu Bai also understood what Li Yanchuan meant, and after thinking about it, he gave up trying to stop him. After all, he wanted the old man to save some money. If his hometown brings investment, he will feel uncomfortable if he cannot even provide a good meal.
Seeing that Gu Bai had figured it out, the smile on the corner of Li Yanchuan's lips deepened.
Seeing the old man going to kill a chicken, Gu Bai walked over, Grandpa Shen thought he wanted to stop him, and looked at him warily, Gu Bai said helplessly, "I'll help you kill a chicken, I'm familiar with this."
Seeing Grandpa Shen's expression of disbelief, Gu Bai quickly grabbed the hen from his hand, and the hen that was struggling desperately in Grandpa Shen's hand was gently pinched by Gu Bai, and immediately became quiet.
Gu Bai asked him to grab a hen's foot, quickly pluck off the hair under the neck, and then asked Grandpa Shen: "Do you want chicken blood?"
Don't look at the lack of chicken blood, but chicken blood can also be ordered.
Hearing what he said, Grandpa Shen knew that Gu Bai really knew how to cook. People who are not close to the kitchen may not know that chicken blood can be eaten. After all, this stuff is relatively small, and few people sell it outside.
There is a lot of duck blood and pig blood, but few people have heard of chicken blood.
Grandpa Shen brought a bowl over, put some salt water in it, and put it under the neck of the chicken. Gu Bai struck quickly, and with one stab, the chicken blood fell into the bowl, and the blood slowly coagulated.
After the chicken blood is collected, the feathers are removed, and the internal organs are removed and cleaned.
Seeing that Gu Bai picked up the chicken like his own family, Grandpa Shen also relaxed a lot. After all, when Gu Bai came over, although he didn't say what was going on in his house, but seeing him and Li Yanchuan coming over, he knew that it must be something unusual.
Grandpa Shen was worried that his hospitality was not good enough, not because of any money, but simply because he was worried that Gu Bai would not be used to it.
Li Yanchuan came over and seemed to want to help, but Gu Bai hurriedly stopped him and told him to wash the vegetables when he had nothing to do, he didn't need to handle the chicken, and handling the chicken was something only a skilled kitchen hand could do, otherwise it would be easy to be a waste of help.
Let's do some small things like washing dishes.
Feeling that he was disgusted, Li Yanchuan was stunned for a moment, then honestly went to wash the vegetables, and under Gu Bai's command, he took out the pumpkin seeds, cleaned them, and put them outside to dry.
The pumpkin that Grandpa Shen brought back was not too big, but because they had a lot of people, they just finished eating it.
After handling the hen, Grandpa Shen started cooking. Even though Gu Bai helped chop the vegetables, he still couldn't interfere with the stove, the other party insisted.
Since he can't intervene, Gu Bai is on the sidelines to help. Although Gu Bai hasn't learned these dishes yet, but after learning cooking for so long, even though Gu Bai hasn't touched some dishes, his ability of knife skills and seasoning has already been improved. Unknowingly improved a lot.
It’s just that the dishes Gu Bai cooks are always compared with what he learned from the system, which is equivalent to comparing a practitioner with the top bosses in the industry. It seems a bit inferior, but in fact it’s not bad at all.
With Gu Bai's help, Grandpa Shen felt that cooking was really much more comfortable. When it was time to put seasonings, someone would prepare it in advance, when it was time to put some ingredients, someone would also prepare it, and someone would help watch over the heat. Everything is handy.
He had an inexplicable feeling that the dishes he made definitely tasted good.
The freshly fried pumpkin was ready. Grandpa Shen couldn't help but pick up a piece of pumpkin and taste it. The pumpkin just out of the pan was a bit hot, but the taste directly stunned him.
This is his fried pumpkin?
For other dishes, Grandpa Shen may not remember the taste clearly, but because the pumpkins are ripe during this period, he eats pumpkins almost every day, and pumpkins are eaten for three meals a day. understood.
But now...
He couldn't help but pick up another piece and try it. The fried pumpkin was a bit soft and cooked, and it was slightly hard when it was soft in the mouth. Be careful when picking it up, otherwise it might be broken in half.
It is fresh and sweet with a little saltiness, soft and delicious, very homely taste, which makes Grandpa Shen feel that it is not much different from the previous ones, but I don’t know why, the taste is so good.
Grandpa Shen wondered if he had any special culinary talent. Li Yanchuan saw that the fried food was ready, so he quickly brought it to the kitchen and took it away.
This has almost become a skill that everyone around Gu Bai knows. Gu Bai thought that he was guarding the kitchen, not the chef, and he should have a chance, but he didn't expect Li Yanchuan to come over again.
And then, Gu Bai was even more unable to serve food. Several of Li Yanchuan's subordinates also came here to eat. Seeing that Li Yanchuan had helped, there was no place for them to sit. Once the food here was good, It's over there.
Grandpa Shen didn't prepare many dishes at first, after all, he only had vegetables picked from his own fields. If he went to the town to buy vegetables, it would be too time-consuming to go back and forth.
As a result, the village cadres knew that Gu Bai and the others were going to eat at Grandpa Shen's, so they specially sent some dishes over, and even wanted to send a chef, worrying that Grandpa Shen's craftsmanship was not good enough, but they were rejected by Gu Bai and the others.
The idea of the village cadres delivering food is very simple. Gu Bai and the others all come to Wumei Village to buy wumei. It’s not an exaggeration to have a meal and entertain them. This is for a legitimate reason. They can’t come to your place to buy products and cooperate with you. Not to mention giving gifts, it would be too much to not even give a meal.
But since Gu Bai and the others have a place to eat, and this place doesn't have any dishes, it's normal to send food to the chef.
After making the dishes one after another, Grandpa Shen doubted that he had a talent for cooking from the very beginning, but gradually he also noticed Gu Bai's little tricks, and immediately realized that it was not him who had the talent, but Gu Bai.
Now they are used to packing one by one, and they don't need to ask the waiter what packing box to buy, they can leave with the small jars by themselves.
Because it was so early that some people returned home, and the young people in the family hadn't started to eat breakfast, and they got up to eat after being shouted again and again.
"Grandpa, are you going to that Yuchunlou for breakfast again?" The young man who got up saw the old man carrying a familiar pot and a paper bag, so he knew that he was going out to eat again.
"Didn't we go out at six this time?" The young man asked. Although he was sleepy, he still had some memories. He remembered that there was no door opening at that time.
"Arrive at seven o'clock, there are fewer people today, and you will be in the front when you arrive at seven o'clock." The old man said in the kitchen, and put the noodles brought back from Yuchun Tower into the boiling water for a while. Sticky noodles boiled.
This is the specially made noodles delivered by Yuchunlou. As long as the noodles are re-dried within half an hour, the taste of the noodles is not much different, so the old man thought that the family members might not have eaten the noodles, so he brought back a copy.
In case the other party eats it, it's not like he can't eat it. Anyway, there is chili sauce, so he's not afraid that he won't be able to eat it.
Seeing the noodles cooked by the old man, the young man immediately guessed that they were probably packaged for him. Looking at the noodles, he was a little disgusted. He originally wanted to go out and buy a cold noodle to eat, but seeing the weather getting colder and colder, There will be fewer sellers of Liangpi, and if you don’t eat it, you won’t be able to eat it.
Although he can eat it at other times, he wants to eat some serious meals at noon and night. Eating Liangpi feels like a waste of meal time, but the old man has given him noodles. If he doesn’t eat at this time, he may usher in a bad day Nagging.
The young man sighed helplessly, went back to the bathroom to wash up, and then heard the voice of the old man calling him out for dinner.
"Okay, I'll be here right away." The young man answered with a loud voice, knowing that if he didn't answer, the old man would keep talking.
Wiping off the water on his face, the old man had already brought the noodles to the dining table, and said with a show on his face: "Today's noodles are definitely better than the noodles I've eaten before, try it."
The young man lacked interest, not to mention that he didn’t like noodles very much, even the 100 yuan bowl of online celebrity noodles he ate some time ago felt that the taste was mediocre, not to mention the noodles that the old man brought back from Yuchunlou.
It's not like he hasn't eaten noodles before, the noodles are quite chewy, but that's it, what's so delicious.
He sat down casually, and found that this bowl of noodles was different from what he had seen before. Yuchunlou used to serve noodles in clear soup, which tasted light and delicious for the elderly, but it was too bland for him. .
But now, the noodles are mixed with some red and green peppers, and the red oil floats on top of the noodles. The spicy smell of the peppers is strong, which makes the young people have a little more appetite.
The original regret was also a little bit less, and I picked up the noodles with chopsticks curiously. The taste of the noodles is still the same as before. It is better than the noodles in ordinary stores, but for a person who does not like noodles so much. Said the difference is not big.
However, the taste of the noodles is quite different from before. The previous taste was light and salty, but now it is mixed with some chili peppers, which is spicy and delicious.
Obviously it was just an extra spicy taste, but the feeling of the noodles was completely different. The young man pulled a bowl of noodles into his mouth in a hurry, and drank a bowl of noodle soup along the way.
In the past, he couldn't understand why some people still love soup so much when they eat noodles, what's so delicious, but now he understands that the noodle soup is really delicious, with a little bit of sweetness in the salty, spicy and spicy, who would not like it? like.
After the young man finished eating, he looked up and saw the smiling expression of the old man, and he asked, "How is it? It's delicious."
It was supposed to be a question, but it became an affirmative sentence when he said it. The old man dared to say that as long as his grandson has no problem with his taste and does not hate chili, then he would not say that this bowl of noodles is not delicious.
"Delicious, very delicious, grandpa, where did you buy the chili sauce for your noodles?" The young man nodded and admitted, and he couldn't help but admit that it was not delicious after drinking the noodle soup and noodles , that's a bit too hard.
However, he is also aware of his grandfather's craftsmanship and the quality of Yuchunlou's noodle soup. He naturally knows that the taste of the noodles can be improved so much because of the addition of chili sauce, otherwise it would not be so delicious.
"I bought it from Yuchunlou," said the old man.
"Yuchunlou still sells this. Grandpa, how much did you buy? I don't seem to be full with this noodle. Why don't I order more noodles and add some chili sauce to eat." The young man felt a little embarrassed as he touched his stomach in surprise. road.
I said I didn’t feel full, but it’s just that I didn’t eat enough chili sauce, and for young people, a bowl of noodles is almost enough, but I can still eat more, and it’s not impossible to stuff more for delicious food.
Hearing what he said, how could the old man not know what he meant? He was not full, and he clearly wanted to rub his chili sauce, so he said directly: "I can buy as much as I can, just a little, and I will use it to make you noodles." Quite a lot, if you want to eat, go to Yuchun Building with me tomorrow for breakfast."
Fearing that he would not believe it, the old man took out the chili sauce he had packed. Even though the chili sauce was double this time, he used up some of it for breakfast and used it up for noodles. Not much left.
As far as this is concerned, when he uses a little for lunch and dinner, it will almost be used up.
But if it’s the usual portion, then you can eat a little more at Yuchunlou, and you don’t need to pack it back, unless you save a little, there will be leftovers, which is why young people have never seen chili sauce before, and old people He has already finished eating the chili sauce, so let him see if there is any extra.
There really wasn't much bright red chili sauce in the jar, and the young man knew after looking at it that his grandfather was probably reluctant to give it to him. After all, if the jar of chili sauce belonged to him, he might not be willing to part with it either.
I just heard the old man talk about the way to buy chili sauce, and the young man was frowning. It is really too difficult to get him to get up early. You have to know who doesn’t stay up late now. Everyone goes to bed at one or two o’clock. It’s a holiday. Take a rest, and it is possible to stay up until three or four o'clock.
My grandfather still knows what time young people get up every day. In the early days, they might go out just after six o'clock, and it was a little later yesterday. But is there any difference between going out at six o'clock and going out after six o'clock?
It's too early for him.
"Is there no other way?" The young man asked distressedly.
"If there is another way, would I just buy this and come back?" The old man couldn't help sighing, he is also a regular diner of Yuchunlou, and one day he asked Wang Xiuquan if it was possible to buy more , As a result, Wang Xiuquan directly stated that it was impossible.
He also told him that if he likes it, eat as much as possible, because it was made by Gu Bai, and Gu Bai might stop selling breakfast at Yuchun Building anytime soon.
Originally, the old man thought it was a bit difficult to get up early every day, but after hearing the news, he stopped being lazy, just because he was afraid that one day Gu Bai would withdraw.
Yuchun Tower is close to his home, so he can still get a number in the queue when he wakes up early every day. If Gu Baixin's shop is far away, it will be difficult for him to go there early, and it will be much more difficult to queue up.
"Is it okay to give more money?" The young man tentatively asked, this chili sauce is so delicious, he is willing to pay more for the food.
"Do you think other people have not thought of this idea? No, let me tell you, just today, because there is a new product of Guokui, someone bought the number in front for [-], because only the first [-] people can buy Guokui .” The old man told what happened today.
The young man gasped, saying that he could accept spending one or two hundred, but he really couldn't accept spending one thousand for a new breakfast, it was too expensive.
"Is that pot helmet so delicious?" The young man was curious.
"It's really delicious. Fortunately, I was lucky today. I happened to be at No. 93. I bought it. It tastes like dried plums, vegetables and meat. It's very fragrant and crispy."
The old man said that the young people were all greedy. Seeing him so greedy, the old man sighed and said, "It's a pity that you didn't go with me today. If you did, you would catch up. I guess you won't be able to eat it later."
Seeing that the young man was puzzled, he continued: "Guokui is sold just once, and I don't know if there is a possibility of selling it next time. Even if there is a chance, I don't know when it will be sold."
Seeing that the young man was still a little hesitant, the old man continued: "I could only buy one serving of this chili sauce before, but now because there are no other meals, I can buy double the serving. You can buy it during this period. Think about it." , if you go these days, getting up early once is worth twice as usual.”
Once and twice, upon hearing this sentence, the young man no longer hesitated, and said firmly, "Then I'll go to bed early today, and go out with you and grandpa tomorrow."
This type of dialogue didn’t just happen in one family. After returning home, many people would ask someone to go buy breakfast with him tomorrow, for no other reason, just for this time, one serving of chili sauce is worth two servings.
Chili sauce can be preserved, save more, and it will taste a lot better when eating at home.
Of course, the most important thing is that the amount of chili sauce that each person can buy this time is more. In the case of one topping twice, many people are moved.
Wumeishan.
Gu Bai got out of the car. The only thing he is grateful for now is the country's road construction. Even though the village at the foot of Wumei Mountain is not too big, at least a road has been built. The road condition is average, but at least it can be opened to traffic.
Otherwise, Gu Bai would be paralyzed from exhaustion if he came here by another car, or walked over.
The best thing is that this road leading directly to Wumei Mountain is also very helpful for transportation. At least after determining the quality of dried black plums, the cost of transportation will not be particularly high, and transportation is not too difficult.
Gu Bai looked around, and found that the name of Wumei Mountain was indeed well-deserved. Although it is not the time for ebony to mature, Gu Bai still recognizes the ebony tree.
Looking all the way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, the densely packed trees are basically ebony trees, with only a few other tree species.
It may be because of the holiday, there are children playing together on the side of the road, and when they see a stranger driving to the edge of the village, they all look over timidly, obviously a little scared of strangers.
The first thing Gu Bai and the others came here was to visit Li Yeliang’s old friend. Originally, Li Yanchuan said that he could go alone, but Gu Bai was too embarrassed to let him go. Instead, he was busy with other things. Just go with it.
They knew each other's address before they came. Although Li Yeliang also gave an address, but so long time has passed, and the locations of various houses and roads have changed, how can it be the same as before.
Fortunately, Li Yanchuan had arranged everything before he came over, and naturally he even knew the other party's address.
The two came to a house, and it could be seen that the house was built well at the beginning, with a brick and wood structure, but other houses are all brick and tile structures, and the brick and wood structure looks bad.
An old man was feeding chickens at the gate, when he saw Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan approaching, he thought they were here to ask for directions, so he got up first: "Don't you know the way?"
Li Yanchuan shook his head and first explained the purpose of his visit. When Li Yanchuan said Li Yeliang's name, the old man froze for a moment, sighed, his expression was a little moved, obviously he also remembered Li Yeliang.
"Come in and sit down." The old man hurriedly called the two of them in, but he frowned when he saw what Li Yanchuan was carrying.
Just now he thought that the two didn't know the way because of the gift Li Yanchuan brought, and thought that he was here because his relatives didn't know the way, but it turned out that the gift was for him.
He wanted to refuse, but thinking that Li Yeliang hadn't contacted him for so long because he didn't want to accept the gift, he became less inclined to refuse.
Especially when Li Yanchuan handed it to him, he peeked at it and found that it was nothing valuable, so he accepted it with peace of mind, turned around and went to the kitchen and brought out two big bowls of sour plum soup for the two of them.
They produce a lot of ebony plums here, so many ebony plums can't be done without doing anything, it's just wasted, some are fresh ebony plums for sale, but it's a pity that the taste of ebony plums is average, few people like to eat them, and they can't sell them at a good price.
Some are made into dried black plums and sold to others, but the price is only average, and they barely make a little money, so they won't lose their money at all.
The rest is to eat by yourself, make sour plum soup, dark plum tea, dark plum porridge, of course, there are also dark plums made into snacks, but unfortunately the method is not proper, even if the dark plums are good, the taste is a bit sour, not like The ebony snacks sold outside are so sweet and sour.
The children in the village were reluctant to buy snacks from outside, so they just ate some homemade dried plums, which tasted just like that, and fooled their mouths.
Gu Bai saw at a glance that the grade of sour plum soup was A grade, he was a little surprised, the other party didn't look like a good cook at all.
After learning cooking skills for so long, Gu Bai is also good at identifying chefs, first look at the opponent's hands, and then look at the standing posture, basically he can tell the difference.
For a good chef, it is very important to protect his hands, because cooking is better only if the hands are dexterous and agile.
The sour plum soup was brought, and he had to drink it, so Gu Bai simply used up a sample coupon, anyway, he wanted to judge the quality of the dried ebony plums today, and when the time came, he would not only smell it, but also taste it.
Gu Bai was still a little thirsty. If the old man didn't bring the sour plum soup, he would have to drink the sour plum soup he brought first. He picked up the bowl and took a sip. Seeing Gu Bai's movements, Li Yanchuan paused for a moment, and then accepted Passed a bowl and drank.
As soon as the sour plum soup was in his mouth, various advantages and disadvantages of this bowl of sour plum soup emerged in Gu Bai's mind. There are still quite a few disadvantages, such as adding too much water, less other ingredients, slightly more dark plums, and no dried osmanthus. Titian, the heat is average, but so many shortcomings can't cover up one advantage. The quality of dried plums is very high, which abruptly improves a dish that is about B-level to A-level.
Li Yanchuan was also a little surprised. He has been used to drinking the sour plum soup given by Gu Bai these days, and he has his own judgment on the taste of the sour plum soup. Almost as soon as he ate the sour plum soup, he found that the bowl of sour plum soup tasted good, better than he imagined. too much.
"Grandpa Shen, your sour plum soup tastes quite good." Gu Bai exclaimed.
"It's alright, alright, I'm not good at cooking, and the black plum is the main thing." Grandpa Shen shook his head, he didn't think he was good at cooking, but the sour plum soup made by the people in his village tasted like him.
What Grandpa Shen said was the truth, Gu Bai didn't continue to boast, the main reason was that he also brought sour plum soup and could make sour plum soup, if Grandpa Shen found out at the time, it would be a bit embarrassing to think about what he said.
The two were chatting, and suddenly found that there were a few more people outside the door, hesitating outside the door, wondering whether they should come in or not.
The person who came was the village cadre of Wumei Village. Although neither Gu Bai nor Li Yanchuan had contacted each other, the village cadre knew that someone had entered the village, and the car he was driving was still a good car, not to mention the driver, bodyguard, secretary, etc. At first glance, he is not an ordinary person.
If it's just like this, it's fine. The problem is that the people who came here asked about the production and production of ebony in their village, which made the village officials have to think of a possibility. Could it be that the other party came to buy ebony.
You must know that many years ago, someone came to buy ebony, saying that their ebony was good, and they were going to open a sour plum soup beverage factory. In the end, they made an agreement with them and signed a contract. They took good care of the ebony tree. Also planted some ebony trees.
As a result, when the other party came over in the second year, he bought a small part of it, and then there was no more, because it took some time to wait for him to buy it, and some of the original sales channels couldn't sell anything. So rotten.
Although that experience was terrible, the village still wanted to turn the black plums of this mountain into money as much as possible. No matter how much they earned, they would always make money. If there were none, it would be worse.
It's just that it's not easy for Wumei to sell in large quantities. After waiting, the village cadres thought that they might not be able to wait for the buyer to come when they retired, but they didn't expect to have a surprise now.
It's just that when the other party came, he didn't go directly to the cadres in the village, but went to catch up with them, which made him a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but come over to inquire about the situation.
It’s just that the Shen family’s house is a wooden house, and there are sparse gaps between the logs. Even ordinary people can spot his figure outside, not to mention that Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan’s senses are extremely keen, and they can spot him right away. Existence, got up and walked out.
The village cadre had no time to hide, so he could only look at the two with a dry smile. He was afraid that they might misunderstand, so he quickly introduced himself. His surname is Chen, and he is the village cadre of Wumei Village.
Grandpa Shen also recognized the person who came, and was still in doubt, when he heard the village officials ask Gu Bai if they wanted to buy a batch of dried plums.
As for why it is said to be dried ebony plums instead of ebony plums, the answer is simple, ebony plums mature in May, and now it is more than September, so there are no fresh ebony plums.
Gu Bai was not surprised by his exposure. After all, he guessed the result when Li Yanchuan’s subordinates asked him. Besides, they wanted to buy black plums. Such a large amount of goods can only be purchased from the village. To deal with the village cadres.
When the village cadres heard Gu Bai's confession, they felt joyful from the bottom of their hearts, and became more courteous, wanting to invite Gu Bai to see some dried plums in their village.
The sale of dried ebony plums in their village this year is not considered good, but they dare not waste the unsold dried ebony plums. After all, they are all money, and the shelf life of ebony dried plums is also ten months. Try to store them well before the expiration date. , in case it can be sold.
This is not just waiting for the God of Wealth!
Knowing that Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan still have this matter, Grandpa Shen hurriedly let them go, and then asked the two of them what they like to eat, and he will do it right away.
Gu Bai and Li Yanchuan followed the village cadres to the warehouse where they stored dried plums. It looked a bit shabby, but it had to be said that it was a good place, away from light and ventilated, and there were cats in the warehouse to prevent mice.
Different from pet cats, these cats are all very thin, with a fierce aura when they walk around, and smooth muscle lines. They are fierce at first glance, and they must be good at catching mice.
During the time when Gu Bai came here, he saw a cat caught the mouse, and then ran away with the mouse in its mouth. Its steps were brisk, and it looked like it was going to enjoy a big meal.
Although the dried ebony plums are all sealed and stored, a large number of ebony dried plums have been stored here for a long time, and the sour aroma of ebony plums still remains. Just walking around inside, you can feel the secretion of saliva unstoppable.
Just by smelling this smell, Gu Bai knew that the quality of the dried ebony plums here was good, but whether to buy it or not, he still had to taste it.
Hearing that Gu Bai wanted to taste the quality, the village cadre asked him to pick it randomly. Gu Bai walked around and picked some dried dark plums back. Since the smells were similar, he just picked some at random.
After tasting it, I found that the quality of these dried plums was similar to the ones eaten at Grandpa Shen's house, or it may be better preserved here, and the flavor is better.
Gu Bai is only responsible for judging the quality of dried plums. As for the specific acquisition process, he handed it over to Li Yanchuan, who is not very good at this.
Gu Bai turned his head and went back to cook. Seeing him go back, and thinking about the current time, several subordinates in charge of the investigation immediately thought of the morning meal, and swallowed silently.
It's unlikely, but I still hold out hope.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the boss with envy——Li Yanchuan, they really envied the boss, but they heard that Li Yanchuan and Gu Bai were very familiar, and they often ate the meals made by Gu Bai, which is the rich man's favorite food. happy?
If other people know what they think, they just want to tell him that not all rich people are so happy. For example, Shen Yunian and the others can be regarded as rich people, but it's a pity that they want to eat Gu Bai every day. The meals are also difficult.
But even so, they can occasionally receive Gu Bai's food and feed, and they are doing well. What's more difficult is that some people want to eat Gu Bai's food, but they can't eat it even if they pay, it's just that miserable.
When Gu Bai went back, Grandpa Shen happened to pick vegetables from the field, and there were no good vegetables at this time, just some eggplants, pumpkins, and some peanuts, a small basket of fresh and raw peanuts, look Gu Bai's eyes lit up.
He doesn't like to eat the kind of big and plump peanuts, but this kind of local peanuts is his favorite. Most of them have two kernels, a few have three kernels and four kernels, and occasionally some have only one kernel.
But when it comes to the best time to eat local peanuts, first, when they are just pulled out, the skins of each grain are white with powder, and the kernels are even more white as jade. It tastes like eating fruit, sweet and clear. Sweet and hydrating.
The second is to pull out the peanuts and put them on the ridge to dry for a period of time. The moisture on the surface dries up a little. When the outer shell is peeled off, the peel turns red and is not as thick as before, and the kernels inside are also harder than before. It tastes like peanuts, but with more sweetness.
However, these are tender peanuts, and the peanuts should not be plucked until they are very mature.When it comes out, the taste changes again. Some people like to eat it, and some people don't like it very much.
Gu Bai doesn't like to eat such peanuts raw, but chooses to boil them in salt water. The oil in the peanuts is boiled out, soaking the whole nut, and it has a different taste when you peel it off and eat it.
Seeing Gu Bai's eyes, Grandpa Shen directly put the basket beside Gu Bai for him to eat.
"You're welcome, eat more." Seeing that Gu Bai only took a little, Grandpa Shen urged.
Gu Bai could only take a little more, and now he had to hold the palms carefully, for fear that the peanuts would fall off.
Gu Bai quickly finished eating the handful of peanuts in his hand and hurried to the kitchen to help the old man. Although they were guests, it was somewhat embarrassing for an old man to treat them like this.
The old man was originally unwilling, but seeing that Gu Bai insisted, he could only let him help a little bit, but he was still unwilling to let Gu Bai intervene in the specific cooking.
Gu Bai was washing vegetables here, when he saw the old man go to the door to sharpen his knife, while sharpening the knife while looking at the chickens in front of the house, his attitude was obvious.
It's not that Gu Bai hasn't stayed in the village before, so he naturally knows that if a distinguished guest comes to his door, the owner will kill chickens for cooking.
Gu Bai hurried over to stop him, it's inappropriate for them to kill chickens when they come here, Gu Bai has noticed that there are only two or three chickens in the old man's house, and they are all hens laying eggs , It seems generous to kill them, but this is a native chicken, and it is not easy to raise them to lay eggs.
This chicken lays eggs, and there are more than 20 eggs a month, and the price of local eggs is not low now. Even if they are cheaper, they cost about two yuan each, and the income is more than four or fifty yuan a month.
When Li Yanchuan came back, he saw that one of them was going to kill a chicken and the other was going to stop him. It was a little strange. After listening for a while, he found out the cause of the accident.
Li Yanchuan stepped forward to stop Gu Bai, told him not to stop, and said in a low voice: "The talk is almost over, we will look at it later, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract. There are not many people in this village. If the black plums are purchased, every household will have income."
This matter is relatively small, if Li Yanchuan is not here, maybe there will be a delay, but Li Yanchuan basically has no point of delay, and it is normal to talk about it soon.
And Gu Bai also understood what Li Yanchuan meant, and after thinking about it, he gave up trying to stop him. After all, he wanted the old man to save some money. If his hometown brings investment, he will feel uncomfortable if he cannot even provide a good meal.
Seeing that Gu Bai had figured it out, the smile on the corner of Li Yanchuan's lips deepened.
Seeing the old man going to kill a chicken, Gu Bai walked over, Grandpa Shen thought he wanted to stop him, and looked at him warily, Gu Bai said helplessly, "I'll help you kill a chicken, I'm familiar with this."
Seeing Grandpa Shen's expression of disbelief, Gu Bai quickly grabbed the hen from his hand, and the hen that was struggling desperately in Grandpa Shen's hand was gently pinched by Gu Bai, and immediately became quiet.
Gu Bai asked him to grab a hen's foot, quickly pluck off the hair under the neck, and then asked Grandpa Shen: "Do you want chicken blood?"
Don't look at the lack of chicken blood, but chicken blood can also be ordered.
Hearing what he said, Grandpa Shen knew that Gu Bai really knew how to cook. People who are not close to the kitchen may not know that chicken blood can be eaten. After all, this stuff is relatively small, and few people sell it outside.
There is a lot of duck blood and pig blood, but few people have heard of chicken blood.
Grandpa Shen brought a bowl over, put some salt water in it, and put it under the neck of the chicken. Gu Bai struck quickly, and with one stab, the chicken blood fell into the bowl, and the blood slowly coagulated.
After the chicken blood is collected, the feathers are removed, and the internal organs are removed and cleaned.
Seeing that Gu Bai picked up the chicken like his own family, Grandpa Shen also relaxed a lot. After all, when Gu Bai came over, although he didn't say what was going on in his house, but seeing him and Li Yanchuan coming over, he knew that it must be something unusual.
Grandpa Shen was worried that his hospitality was not good enough, not because of any money, but simply because he was worried that Gu Bai would not be used to it.
Li Yanchuan came over and seemed to want to help, but Gu Bai hurriedly stopped him and told him to wash the vegetables when he had nothing to do, he didn't need to handle the chicken, and handling the chicken was something only a skilled kitchen hand could do, otherwise it would be easy to be a waste of help.
Let's do some small things like washing dishes.
Feeling that he was disgusted, Li Yanchuan was stunned for a moment, then honestly went to wash the vegetables, and under Gu Bai's command, he took out the pumpkin seeds, cleaned them, and put them outside to dry.
The pumpkin that Grandpa Shen brought back was not too big, but because they had a lot of people, they just finished eating it.
After handling the hen, Grandpa Shen started cooking. Even though Gu Bai helped chop the vegetables, he still couldn't interfere with the stove, the other party insisted.
Since he can't intervene, Gu Bai is on the sidelines to help. Although Gu Bai hasn't learned these dishes yet, but after learning cooking for so long, even though Gu Bai hasn't touched some dishes, his ability of knife skills and seasoning has already been improved. Unknowingly improved a lot.
It’s just that the dishes Gu Bai cooks are always compared with what he learned from the system, which is equivalent to comparing a practitioner with the top bosses in the industry. It seems a bit inferior, but in fact it’s not bad at all.
With Gu Bai's help, Grandpa Shen felt that cooking was really much more comfortable. When it was time to put seasonings, someone would prepare it in advance, when it was time to put some ingredients, someone would also prepare it, and someone would help watch over the heat. Everything is handy.
He had an inexplicable feeling that the dishes he made definitely tasted good.
The freshly fried pumpkin was ready. Grandpa Shen couldn't help but pick up a piece of pumpkin and taste it. The pumpkin just out of the pan was a bit hot, but the taste directly stunned him.
This is his fried pumpkin?
For other dishes, Grandpa Shen may not remember the taste clearly, but because the pumpkins are ripe during this period, he eats pumpkins almost every day, and pumpkins are eaten for three meals a day. understood.
But now...
He couldn't help but pick up another piece and try it. The fried pumpkin was a bit soft and cooked, and it was slightly hard when it was soft in the mouth. Be careful when picking it up, otherwise it might be broken in half.
It is fresh and sweet with a little saltiness, soft and delicious, very homely taste, which makes Grandpa Shen feel that it is not much different from the previous ones, but I don’t know why, the taste is so good.
Grandpa Shen wondered if he had any special culinary talent. Li Yanchuan saw that the fried food was ready, so he quickly brought it to the kitchen and took it away.
This has almost become a skill that everyone around Gu Bai knows. Gu Bai thought that he was guarding the kitchen, not the chef, and he should have a chance, but he didn't expect Li Yanchuan to come over again.
And then, Gu Bai was even more unable to serve food. Several of Li Yanchuan's subordinates also came here to eat. Seeing that Li Yanchuan had helped, there was no place for them to sit. Once the food here was good, It's over there.
Grandpa Shen didn't prepare many dishes at first, after all, he only had vegetables picked from his own fields. If he went to the town to buy vegetables, it would be too time-consuming to go back and forth.
As a result, the village cadres knew that Gu Bai and the others were going to eat at Grandpa Shen's, so they specially sent some dishes over, and even wanted to send a chef, worrying that Grandpa Shen's craftsmanship was not good enough, but they were rejected by Gu Bai and the others.
The idea of the village cadres delivering food is very simple. Gu Bai and the others all come to Wumei Village to buy wumei. It’s not an exaggeration to have a meal and entertain them. This is for a legitimate reason. They can’t come to your place to buy products and cooperate with you. Not to mention giving gifts, it would be too much to not even give a meal.
But since Gu Bai and the others have a place to eat, and this place doesn't have any dishes, it's normal to send food to the chef.
After making the dishes one after another, Grandpa Shen doubted that he had a talent for cooking from the very beginning, but gradually he also noticed Gu Bai's little tricks, and immediately realized that it was not him who had the talent, but Gu Bai.
