10. Chef 9
Although Lin Dan specially made some more supper, everyone still didn't eat much. The main reason was that the three strong men had too much appetite and the speed of the burrito was too fast. They had just finished eating one, and they had already stuffed three of them, which was really annoying.
Lin Dan still ate very little. As soon as the night came, her cough worsened. After drinking the medicine, she got into the carriage and went to sleep. Everyone was consciously taking it lightly, for fear of annoying her.
The three strong men found a place with a wide view and sat down to watch over the convoy. They seemed to have been used to this kind of life of sleeping in the open. All the people in the convoy couldn't hold on to sleep anymore, and they were still very energetic.
"No wonder Old Man Shen was so reluctant to part with Manager Lin when he left. He also said that Manager Lin was sick and he had no taste of anything he ate. It was because of this." Luo Tietou lay flat on the ground, patting his stomach all the time, "The Chun Sanxian Burrito was so delicious just now, but it's a pity that there are a little, so I didn't eat much."
"Are you hungry again?" Zhao Liu held a wooden stick and fiddled with the bonfire.
"I'm hungry," Luo Tiotou turned over and whispered while smacking his mouth: "I don't know what I'll eat tomorrow morning, I still want to eat burritos."
Thinking of the taste of the roll, Zhao Liu secretly swallowed. He also wanted to eat the roll, so he would not get tired of eating such a fresh roll for three consecutive months.
"Stop talking, you guys go to bed, I'll watch the night." Junwei's man spoke in a deep voice.
The leader was the only one, and Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou did not refuse and fell asleep quickly. After a while, a sound of abdomen sounded in the dark night. Fortunately, everyone was asleep and no one knew about it.
The next day, Lin Dan's illness was much better than yesterday. Before dawn, she got up and made breakfast for everyone. The shopkeepers were all up, so the guys naturally couldn't be lazy. They got up one after another to fetch water and burn the fire.
"Have you been there all night?" Lin Dan was a little surprised when he saw the Junwei man sitting by the fire.
The man nodded, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Lin Dan saw that he wanted to speak but stopped and asked, "Do you have something to do?"
"Nothing happened." The man hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "What are we eating this morning?"
Lin Dan couldn't help but smile, "In the morning, I will cook a pot of white rice porridge, cook some noodles, and make a few side dishes. If you want to drink porridge, you will eat noodles, and you will be free."
The man nodded and stopped talking. The two strong men lying beside him woke up and muttered, "Shopkeeper Lin, why don't you eat burritos? Where is the white porridge noodles delicious?"
Lin Dan smiled and shook her head, "No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat it. You have to change your taste every meal."
Shaoyao came over and said with a smile, "Master, the noodles are ready and the porridge is cooked. You can go and cook." Finally, he looked at Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou and joked: "The two elder brothers are really lucky. My master can cook different dishes for hundreds of days in a row. We can't eat them, but you dislike them."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, we will eat whatever shopkeeper Lin does." When the leader glared, the two strong men did not dare to express their opinions, but they missed the pancakes last night. The white porridge and noodles were the same flavor. Can spring Sanqing be delicious?
But soon, Manager Lin told them with practical actions that as long as he is skilled, simple white porridge and noodles can also become supreme delicacies. She took out the oil residue sealed in the jar and chopped it into a pot, put it in a pot of stir-frying, and then cut the blanched Chinese toon into diced rice and poured into crushed oil residues. The juice of Chinese toon and the oil residue penetrated each other and turned into a pot of thick soup. As each boiling bubble exploded, a strange fragrance burst out. After the oil residue was boiled soft and glutinous, the aroma of Chinese toon was completely stimulated, Lin Dan quickly poured in light soy sauce, flying salt, pepper and other seasonings, stir-fry several times, and then put it out of the pot.
"It smells so fragrant!" Shaoyao and Du Juan carried away the pottery pot containing the sauce germ together, sniffing while raising it.
Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou, who had not wanted to eat noodles, could not hold back their saliva at this moment.
Lin Dan felt that he was not enough. After frying the sauce, steamed a large bowl of salted fish, made a cold malan head, and took out some pickled vegetables from the jar and put them on the plate. Then he started making hand-rolled noodles. The hand-rolled noodles were cooked and the white porridge was almost cooked. Everyone quickly took out their own bowls and chopsticks and waited for the meal to start.
"Okay, eat quickly, we'll be on the way after eating." Lin Dan washed her hands and slowly lowered her sleeves.
The three strong men deserved to be the masters. In the blink of an eye, three bowls of hot noodles were picked up, stirred with sauce and ate them evenly. The Chinese toon and oil residue are both ingredients with strong aromas. The two are blended into one and become more and more fragrant. The freshness of Chinese toon combines the scorchy glutinous oil residue, and the taste is wonderful. The noodles are also very chewy. Each noodles are filled with the juice of sauce and chewed it with a full mouthful. The soft, skewer and salty taste instantly conquered the taste buds of the three.
It was delicious, so delicious! The three of them lit up their eyes, and the speed of eating noodles could not help but speed up. When they were fast, others naturally did not dare to slow down. There was only the snoring of eating in the camp.
Lin Dan was still ill and had a bad taste. She only drank a bowl of white porridge and stopped.
The man Junwei looked up at her and said with concern, "Shopkeeper Lin, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm already in good health, but I'm a little tired. I want to lie in the carriage for a while. You eat, don't worry about me."
The man looked at her carefully and saw that her face was rosy and her eyes were clear. It was indeed not the worsening of her condition. Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou, who were sitting next to her, had to slow down their eating speed. Although they were already seven percent full, they still scooped a bowl of white porridge to clear their stomachs.
The white porridge was indeed just white porridge, and it didn't taste special. It was very light when eaten. The two of them picked up a little pickled vegetables and mixed them with porridge water. After a sip, they were shocked. The pickled vegetables were made of chopped celery, mixed with bitter wine, sesame and fennel. The taste was crispy, sour and salty, slightly rich, but if paired with the sweet white porridge, the taste immediately became neutral and calm, and the fragrance was fragrant. Take a sip slowly, and the pores all over the body seemed to be smooth, and the stomach sac was extremely satisfactory.
There is also a dish with porridge that is steamed salted fish with fermented black beans. I don’t know what secret method Lin cooked it with. The salted fish, which was originally slightly hard, was steamed by her and was steamed soft and glutinous. The rich juice slowly oozed out of the meat and mixed with the fragrance of fermented black beans, making people salivate. The meat was soft and glutinous, and even the fish bones were glutinous. They were pinched and put directly into their mouths to chew. The more they chewed, the more they tasted.
The salted fish has a strong smell and the white porridge is light. If you bite a piece of salted fish and drink a little white porridge, the food in your mouth will not only retain the sweetness of rice, but also the fragrant and salty fish. The two are perfect.
Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou couldn't stop eating it. After drinking two large bowls of white porridge, they wiped their mouths with unsatisfactory feelings. Seeing their crazy behavior of grabbing food, the Junwei man naturally would not miss the delicious food. It seemed elegant, but in fact he quickly scooped a bowl of porridge, picked up most of the pickled vegetables, and then killed all the remaining salted fish. After eating, he still felt that he was not enough. He poured the soup of the salted fish and the fermented black beans into a bowl of noodles, and whisked it completely.
Xiaozhu was already stunned. She never expected that the three of them could eat better than the other. Fortunately, they did not agree to leave the escort, otherwise they would have lost their own convoy.
"Damn, this little life is so comfortable!" After breakfast, Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou lay on a big stone and rubbed their stomachs, looking very satisfied.
"We will set off after a while and strive to arrive in the capital the next day." The man Junwei still stood straight, his thin waist and abdomen were flat, as if he had never eaten it.
"Okay." As soon as the two strong men agreed, they saw a servant of Manager Lin running out of the forest with two hares and a hazel rooster, and said happily, "Bosshop, we set up a few wild game last night, and lunch is here."
"What are you catching?" Lin Dan lifted the curtain and chuckled, "Okay, let's eat braised rabbit meat and stir-fried hazel chicken at noon. The hazel chicken meat is delicate and has the reputation of "Dragon Meat in the Sky". No matter what method is used to cook, it is extremely delicious. Chop the hazel chicken, ginger, pickled pepper, and sauerkraut, and then put it into the pot and stir-fry it, then pour it into half a bowl of water and stew it for a while. The hazel chicken stir-fried in this method has a fresh and tender taste. The chopped bones flow out the thick and smooth bone marrow, which is completely integrated with the sour and sour soup. It is full of flavor without thickening. It is mixed with white rice, and the taste is so refreshing."
Accompanied by Lin Dan's narration, the crowd, who had just had enough food, began to swallow saliva frequently again, wishing that time would pass quickly, and the next moment was noon.
"Closing the rabbit and the hazel grille, let's go on the road." Lin Dan looked at the three strong men and said in a gentle voice, "Three brothers, let's say goodbye to you, thank you for your care along the way."
"You are polite to Manager Lin." Zhao Liu quickly swallowed the saliva all over his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
"Goodbye." The man Junwei stepped on the horse and bowed his hand slightly.
Luo Tietou took off his boots and looked at it. It seemed that there was a small stone inside. He stared at the hare and hazel chicken from the corner of his eyes, not knowing what idea he was going to do.
Lin Dan bent her knees and said goodbye, and then she slowly left.
Luo Tietou slowly put on his boots and stepped onto the horse, looking worried, "Boss, why don't we escort Manager Lin for a ride? There are dense forests in front of him and the terrain is dangerous, and there may be bandits. Her servants are all from the south, and they are short and thin, so how can they protect the five major trucks of goods?"
"Titou is right. Manager Lin is very good. He is a weak woman again. We have completed the task anyway, so it's okay to send her a ride." Zhao Liu quickly agreed.
The man Junwei turned his horse's head to see the convoy, and after a moment he made a decision, "Then keep up."
Chapter completed!
