The plum blossoms are three cents whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms.
In terms of cooking, this sentence can basically be used to describe the relationship between materials and production.
When it comes to cooking skills, there is no such thing as Gan Cong style.
Well, judging by Xu Guangling's evaluation criteria, there is none.
But he knows medicine.
Stewing the pheasant does not require any cooking skills. After cleaning it, just pour cold water into the pot and put it in the pot to stew.
Keep simmering, don't worry about anything.
Turn the heat down to a low heat, it's not necessary!
Whether it's cooked or not, whether it's stewed or not, you still understand this Gancong style.
Then, after stewing, there is nothing worth mentioning about the stewed pheasant during the cooking process. This is because this is a place rich in spiritual energy. The material of the pheasant is relatively good, and with the addition of herbs, it immediately becomes tender.
Incomparable.
Rich aroma, light sweetness.
If this pot of food was placed in any front door in any street or alley in the previous life, even if the concierge did not have any restaurant sign [.], it would attract all the people passing by to glance in, and then attract those who passed by.
If you are bold and love food, go in and ask on your own.
"Fellow, what are you eating?"
This is the power of materials, not to mention the extremely suitable combination.
The delicious food is natural and requires no labor in cooking.
This is the first dish, which is truly a masterpiece.
Judging from some small details, Gan Congshi probably doesn't understand those "skills", but in this dish, he avoided the methods that require skill and went for a sweet and refreshing dish, coupled with the tenderness and fragrance of the main ingredients.
Suppress everything directly.
"Lao Gan, this is actually cultivation. It doesn't require all kinds of cleverness, it's just the original intention. I don't know this truth. Do you understand?"
Xu Guangling smiled lightly in his heart.
Then came the second dish, boiled wild eggs.
In fact, there should be some wild duck eggs waiting for them. There are a dozen eggs in total, seven or eight varieties.
They vary in size from as big as a chicken egg to as small as a quail egg.
The colors range from gray, to black and white, to colorful.
It’s quite a sight.
Cook it in one pot!
Along with the water, there are various kinds of herbs that are more numerous than the number of eggs, including young leaves, old leaves, branches, roots, flowers, and fruits.
Not "chowder".
Before the hard-boiled eggs even hit his mouth, Xu Guangling knew just by looking at these herbs that Gan Congshi's "recipe" was of a very high standard.
This can basically be used directly to measure the level of other drugs.
His level and attainments in medicine are concentrated and reflected in this boiled egg.
In previous lives, tea eggs were unique to China.
It doesn't require any advanced production techniques. You can simply add tea leaves, or add star anise, cinnamon, fragrant leaves, etc. to the tea leaves.
No limit (only tea leaves.)
There is no upper limit (even if you add a hundred spices, no one will say your tea eggs are "unauthentic", as long as you make them delicious.)
But the low-level production technology is permeated with China's unique "Tao".
This is the theory of "medicine and food come from the same origin" in traditional Chinese medicine, and its reflection on diet is unique to this family and has no other semicolon.
Such a big world and such a long time.
Such a simple method.
People from other places can’t think of it?
right.
Just can't think of it.
It’s not that he’s not smart, or he lacks wisdom, it’s that he just doesn’t have this concept.
It is said that skill advances from art, and art advances from Tao, but in fact, in many aspects, from the very beginning, from the source, "Tao" determines the beginning of "skill".
"I have no regrets about entering China in this life, and I hope to be a flower grower in the next life."
This is a sentence that was circulated on the Internet in the past life, and is connected with the rabbit and the innocent heart of chasing dreams.
Aside from the righteousness of his family and country, for Xu Guangling, China is both civilization and culture, inheritance and creation.
In the same way, if he had obtained the Sky Mirror, if he had grown up in another country, his subsequent development would have been completely different.
"I am lucky to have learned about the Heavenly Mirror."
"I am lucky to meet these two teachers."
"And moving forward in time, I am lucky to be born in China and bathed in China's civilization, culture, inheritance and creation."
"Whether it is a saint or a god, it doesn't matter what direction and goal we move towards. The foundation has been laid long ago, from my father, my mother, my two teachers, and from the entire long-standing Chinese civilization.
There."
The source is far and the flow is long.
In his previous life, Xu Guangling not only explored the source, but also learned about it from the Book of Changes, from hundreds of schools of thought, from the Twenty-Four Histories, to various local chronicles, spanning thousands of years, and understanding thousands of families.
There.
There are confrontations between the central government and the princes, between aristocratic families and poor families, and all kinds of conspiracies and plots, for the country, for the family, for the current world, and for future generations.
There are also such small things as "Three Character Classic", "Cai Gen Tan", "Shan Jia Qing Gong", "Sui Yuan Food List" and so on, which are like a few equally inconspicuous grasses in an inconspicuous corner on a piece of peerless beauty.
Little flower.
When you inadvertently get closer, you realize that it also has a unique flavor.
Just like Mr. Chen Yinke in modern history, he dabbled in poetry, history, religion, language, etc., and his "dabble" was enough to stand out and become a family of his own.
I devoted my whole life to the research and interpretation of history, but in my later years, I came across a book called "The Biography of Liu Rushi".
What kind of mood and state of mind is that?
It's probably like a glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach blossoms, a lamp in the rainy night of rivers and lakes for ten years, after a lifetime of galloping around and expanding the territory, I return to my hometown, plant a few plum trees, and brew a few jars of wine.
Then, at a time when the drizzle is ripening the yellow plums and the plums are half green and half yellow, a charcoal fire is lit to remove the dampness and cook plum wine.
The faint sweetness, in the occasional crackle of the charcoal fire and the constant patter of drizzle, slowly escapes, filling every corner of the house, and continues to spread into the world...
This body is indeed old, but this mind is still young.
This life has its own end, and this intention is infinite.
Xu Guangling ate one of the special "tea eggs" in front of him and left the rest to Gan Congshi.
Gan Congshi asked: "Is it delicious?"
"Very good!" Xu Guangling said.
This shore and the other shore are connected by water; past and present lives are connected by vegetables.
Involuntarily, Xu Guangling thought of the ungenerous but graceful little poem from his previous life:
I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day and drink the water of the Yangtze River together without seeing you.
When will this water stop, and when will this hatred end? I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and that I will live up to my love.
The first thing he knew about this song was in the form of lyrics, from Teresa Teng's singing "A Touch of Love", an album that his mother liked very much.
At this moment, Xu Guangling thought about his past life from a few tea eggs.
I think of many people.
Teacher, Mr. Chen, and the two girls, I don’t know if your current situation is okay. Even if it’s not that good, you must hold on.
wait for me!
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xu Guangling decided to help him because of this tea egg.
It's not a big deal in the first place, is it?
Asked why I wanted to live in the green mountains, I smiled without answering and my heart felt at ease. The peach blossoms and flowing water disappeared, and there was no other world than this world.
I came from outside the sky and was reborn in this world.
It is not for mercy that I save you.
Just encountered it.
It's just that you fell in love with me and paid attention to it.
