farmhouse

At dawn the next day, Lin Qiao went to collect mountain products, such as wild vegetables, wild Ganoderma lucidum, game, and wild fruits, as long as they could be sold for money.He knew this group of mountain runners, and he even ordered fifty catties of Gastrodia elata, and asked them to go up the mountain to pick them, dry them and leave them for him.

This group of people was very happy to agree, and they were acquaintances who gave Lin Qiao a lower price.He also carefully taught Lin Qiao some medicinal knowledge, which is all the experience of running down the mountain for many years.Once you know this, you can quickly tell the quality of mountain goods.Don't be fooled!

Lin Qiao works at a stall during the day, and goes door to door in the afternoon to look at mountain products.With the help of this group of masters, I have never bought a hole.Today, Lin Qiao went to an old hunter's house to collect dried mushrooms.

The old Orion was one-eyed and lame, he never pretended to talk to people, and he was dependent on a little granddaughter.The two of them lived on the mountainside for many years, and the mountain was like their own back garden. They knew where it grew. Many mountain runners would find this old hunter if they couldn't get it out on the urgent order!

"Grandpa, someone is here." The granddaughter of this family has a bronzed skin and is very lively and cheerful. She looks about 13 years old and looks good!

"Yeah." An old man came out with a serious face and a beard, maybe because he had seen blood, he had a bit of evil spirit on his body.If a timid person meets him, he will not be able to help but be timid: "I'll collect some dried mushrooms!"

"Six cents a catty, do you want love or not." He said angrily.

Lin Qiao didn't rush to agree, "I'll take a look at the goods first."

"Xiao Lian, bring it here!"

The little girl went back into the house and took out a small bag.The mushrooms are nicely dried.The taste also has a unique taste of wild mushrooms.It's okay to pinch the dry humidity, and the size is also very well-proportioned.Obviously, they have all been artificially screened.

Lin Qiao said: "Weigh it, I want it all!"

This old Orion's family has weighed it, a total of 52 and a half catties.A total of 310 five pennies are not wiped out.Lin Qiao has pinched the thickness of the mushrooms. If one catty is soaked, it will look like two and a half catties, which is not expensive.Fifteen cents in the county town is considered cheap.

Others don't like this old Orion's temper, but Lin Qiao doesn't mind, he's here for business anyway, as long as he can make money!This old Orion lives on the mountain, and he is sure that there are many good things in the mountain. He asked himself: "Old man, do you have anything else in your house?"

Upon hearing this, the old Orion said, "What do you want?"

"What do you have?"

The old Orion met a lot of people, and Lin Qiao was upright at first sight, and he didn't show any evil towards his precious granddaughter.In addition, he was introduced by a regular customer, and he was quite relieved and said: "Come with me."

After speaking, he took Lin Qiao through his house and into the backyard, where there were all kinds of things drying in the yard.There are dried mushrooms.There are dried wild vegetables.There are Schisandra chinensis drying in the sun, and precious snow clams.The large pockets on both sides are dry bagged.

However, Lin Qiao's gaze was firmly attracted by the Zong Ham, which was gray in color, probably because it had been hanging there for a long time.There were three of them, and one of them was eaten a little. The flesh-colored pattern was definitely the best ham.After five years of pickling, it can be eaten white!

"Grandpa, do you sell this?"

The old Orion waved his hand and said, "I don't sell it, I eat it myself."

Now that Lin Qiao is staring at this ham, he can't see anything.If it is made into soup or plain, or smoked, there are many ways to eat it.Swallowed a bit of saliva: "Can you give me a few?"

"How many?" The old Orion laughed at his greedy tone. He bought a pig and asked someone to slaughter it.The heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney are all useful.The pig's blood and pig's trotters were not wasted, and the four thighs were cut open to make ham.The ribs are made into rib sausage.The meat is made into bacon!Others say he is extravagant, but they know what a fart!These hams have been hanging there for several years.The longer the time, the purer the taste.At first, some people asked, but now no one even asked, and asked if his hams had grown hair.

In fact, the mixture of gravy and fat makes the meat taste more delicious, and others don't know what it is.Today this young man has some knowledge.But this kind of delicacy, he is not willing to sell!

Lin Qiao was soft and hard, but he couldn't do anything.

It's almost time for dinner. My granddaughter finished cooking and asked them to eat together.

It's strange to say that Lin Qiao didn't know that the old Orion's temper didn't bother him.If he left others to stalk the old hunter, he would have thrown him out long ago.Also asked him to eat together.

Lin Qiao saw that his attitude was soft and wanted to go further, so he stayed.The little granddaughter made two dishes.A stewed pigeon, a roasted hare and a soup.It looks okay.Lin Qiao first took a piece of pigeon meat, and he didn't know how long the pigeon had been stewed by him.If a piece is caught, the whole pigeon is broken, and the meat floats in the soup.

Lin Qiao's expression changed after taking a bite.I have never eaten such an unpalatable dish in my two lifetimes, so I tried my best not to spit it out.I don't know how to deal with this meat, it has no other taste except salty.

The roasted hare was also like salty salt, and it was a bit bitter to eat.

The old hunters are already used to it!Lin Qiao hesitated as the little girl was still scooping up soup to make cakes.What is the difference between soaking in soup and soaking in salt water?

The old Orion was the most defensive person, and when he saw Lin Qiao's appearance, he became angry: "It's good to eat ready-made ones, but if you don't like it, make it yourself? If you don't eat it, get out!"

Lin Qiao said: "Then I'll do it." He figured out that the little girl can't cook at all.Letting her do it is simply reckless!

What Lin Qiao said made them stunned for a moment.In the past, when the old Orion talked about others, they were all blushing and thick-necked.How dare you tell him apart?

Lin Qiao is different.Just do it, the treasures of the old Orion are not lacking at all.

When I went to the kitchen, there were three bamboo poles hanging on the window, with bacon, sausages, and dense meat on them.And other wild game.There are even two fish in the basin!There are grains of various colors on the stove, and the oil tank is also full.There is a large spoon in the salt jar that can be used to make soup, and I finally understand why this girl's cooking is so salty.

Lin Qiao first brushed the pot thoroughly, and then drained the oil. Now the salty taste still lingers on his tongue.Just want something fresh and refreshing.Seeing the bamboo shoots next to it cut into thin shreds, I patted some garlic and fried them.Saute in hot oil, then add shredded bamboo shoots.Taking advantage of this moment, I stirred two eggs and steamed a bowl of egg custard!

It only takes a moment to stir-fry, and he didn't touch the precious meat on the wall.It's not like visiting someone else's house, so let's restrain ourselves.These two dishes are cooked at the same time. After the dishes are stir-fried, they are put on the plate and served.

Egg custard is almost ready.

The dense oil lines on the egg custard are not old at all.When it was put up, it trembled a few times.But when you scoop out the bright yellow cake inside, it melts with a sip of your mouth, and the umami taste is amazing.It is good whether it is eaten alone or bibimbap.

When Lin Qiao brought it in, half of the previous dish had gone.

The old man took another chopstick and put it in his mouth. The shredded bamboo shoots tasted crisp and delicious, "Young man, not bad."

"Grandpa, can I worship him as a teacher?" The little girl said with a look of admiration.

It frightened Lin Qiao enough. Cooking requires talent. He remembered that the scrambled eggs with tomatoes he stepped on a bench when he was nine years old were better than this.or farewell...

The old Orion took a mouthful of egg custard with a spoon and ate it into his mouth, saying, "Okay."

"I don't agree!" This kind of kitchen killer still forget it.

The old Orion said: "A piece of ham."

"no!"

"Two hams."

Lin Qiao was a little shaken, those two hams were enough to eat for two years.Exchange two years of delicacy for an apprentice, he was wondering if it was worth it?

The old Orion said: "Add ten spare rib sausages."

"Deal!" Lin Qiao gritted his teeth and agreed, and then the father and father ate egg custard happily, but Lin Qiao lost his appetite at all.

When he was leaving, Lin Qiao returned with a full load, with a bag of mushrooms in his left hand and a bag of ham in his right.There is also a string of rib sausage hanging on the shoulder.

Xiaolian said: "Master, when will you teach me?"

"Seven days later."

"En." Xiaolian nodded.

After Lin Qiao left, Xiao Lian picked up the remaining bamboo shoots.I didn't expect it to be so delicious when fried: "Grandpa, isn't your ham always very precious?"

"For your cooking skills, Grandpa has nothing to hate."

"Grandpa, you are so kind to me!" Xiao Lian said emotionally.

The old Orion said: "This way I can get some light! How many more years will I have to live? I'm afraid that when I die, the meat will be marinated."

Xiaolian: ...

……

Lin Qiao put those things into the space, and when he got home, Chen He was making calculations on the table.There is a piece of paper in hand.

Seeing Lin Qiao came back, Chen He said: "Sir, I have invested some more money. One is for brewing wine and the other is for growing chili peppers." .

The one who grows peppers only needs to pay for some pepper seeds.Said it was a specialty of the Shu region, and he was reluctant to buy that kind of seed, which was very valuable, so he urged Chen He to buy it, and he would do it, and he would share half of it when it was harvested.

As for the winemaking, it was a coincidence!The man clapped his chest and said that he finally learned how to make wine after being an apprentice for ten years, but unfortunately he couldn't afford the grain and koji for wine making, so he asked him to pay for it.

The two were relatively reliable and he voted.

Lin Qiao nodded after listening, very relieved of Chen He's godlike intuition.

"You want to win so much?" Lin Qiao asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Chen He blushed and said, "You will know later?"

Seeing that he was being mysterious, Lin Qiao stopped asking.Chen He worked so hard, but it aroused his competitive heart.Anyway, you can't lose to him!

In the backyard, Mother Meng sighed at the three pigs scrambling for food.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Chen Rui asked puzzled.

"How can your brother and your brother Qiao spend money in a match recently?"

"Brother Qiao said that it doesn't matter if you don't have money, and you will have it if you make trouble." Chen Rui is now Lin Qiao's little fan, and he remembers what he said firmly.

Mother Meng was speechless to the two prodigal sons.
