Food conquers the world

After Maier left, Zou Kai didn't go back to sleep. He came out, closed the door, and squatted down in front of Mrs. Huo Sen's house.Then he took out the cigarettes and lighter from his pocket. He just bought this pack of cigarettes. At this time, he counted them one by one, and there were still six.

He thought for a while, although he just bought this pack of cigarettes, but before his master took him to meet his senior brothers, most of the cigarettes evaporated, so there was only so much left.

He took out one, put it under his nose to sniff, and reluctantly put it back into the cigarette case.

This may be the last few cigarettes he smoked in his life.

Zou Kai had no concept of time-traveling before. He was still confused and immersed in the matter of his own time-traveling. He was also influenced by various time-traveling novels. He even thought about dominating the world. He didn't think about what the world was like at all. world.It wasn't until Maier took him around that he began to seriously consider the future.

This is a world completely different from his previous life, and he wants to live here. Although he might go back as inexplicably as when he came here, he still needs to live here before going back.

Apart from a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, he brought some change and a bunch of keys. He had his mobile phone with him, but he couldn't find it.

These things don't seem to help him, what he needs to do is not rely on these things to be opportunistic, what he needs to think about is the future.

Zou Kai sat in front of Mrs. Huo Sen's house all night. At dawn, he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a deep breath. He looked at the sky, but he didn't see anything.

When he took his last puff of cigarette, the sunlight in the sky just broke out, illuminating the first dawn after Zou Kai came to this world.

Zou Kai threw the cigarette butt under the tree in Mrs. Huo Sen's yard, stamped it out and buried it in a shallow pit with his feet. He kicked the ashes away in front of the gate and walked into the kitchen.

Zou Kai didn't do anything special for breakfast, but sliced ​​the bread that Maier sent last night, baked it on a pan, fried two eggs, and took it out to eat with Mrs. Huo Sen. It's a bit tough, but the taste is still ok.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Huo Sen praised that the slices of bread were delicious, and then suggested that Zou Kai could meet people in the village and find a job.

Zou Kai naturally agreed, and went out with Mrs. Huo Sen after breakfast.

The village in the morning and the village in the evening are naturally different. Every time Zou Kai and Mrs. Huo Sen pass by a house, someone greets them in the yard, and Mrs. Huo Sen nods to say hello.There are also people who will ask Zou Kai a few words of concern and express their welcome.

Soon the two stopped in front of a house, Mrs. Huo Sen went up and knocked on the door, and Zou Kai who opened the door knew that it was the little friend Maier who brought things last night.

Maier opened the door to let Mrs. Huo Sen in, still looking at Zou Kai indignantly, but did not make things difficult for him.

There was only one old man in Maier's house. The old man looked younger than Mrs. Huo Sen. He looked very healthy and respected Mrs. Huo Sen. He asked Maier to move chairs and pour water for them.

Mrs. Huo Sen and the old man greeted each other a few words, and then told Zou Kai that the old man was Mr. Hardy, the grandfather of Maier, and the village chief of Woliji Village.

Mr. Hardy expressed a few words of concern, Zou Kai also exchanged some polite words with him, and then Mrs. Huo Sen got to the point and said to Mr. Hardy: "Kay wants to stay in our village, you can see where there is a lack of people, Let him help."

Mr. Hardy glanced at Zou Kai, hesitantly: "Kai is not very old, is he eighteen yet?"

Zou Kai forced a smile: "I'm 24."

Mr. Hardy obviously didn't believe it, he blew his beard and stared and said, "Don't lie to me, old man, I think you're okay at best." As the old man said, he raised his hand and slapped Zou Kai on the shoulder twice. Although Mr. Hardy was a grandpa , but the strength of his hand is not weak, Zou Kai felt as if a stick had tapped him twice on the shoulder.

After the filming, Mr. Hardy frowned: "You are still so thin, you can't do it...then...you can go to the mill with Maier to help!"

Regarding being six years younger, Zou Kai didn't know whether to cry or laugh.The people here are all tall and tall, and their appearance is very similar to that of people in Western Europe. His oriental appearance is really young among this group of people.

Let it be tender, Zou Kai didn't care too much about it. People in the village seem to be farming for a living. If he is really asked to do the work in the field, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it.

After finalizing, Zou Kai followed Maier to the mill.The mill is not in the village, but built on a highland 200 meters outside the village.The mill is built in a circular shape and powered by a big windmill. This is where the whole village grinds flour.

The work of the mill is very easy, that is, to help take care of the operation of the mill, and to carry the wheat flour.Zou Kai was getting used to work for the first time, and the whole morning passed quickly. When it was almost noon, Zou Kai suddenly remembered Mrs. Huo Sen's dark cooking, greeted the people who were also helping the mill, and immediately rushed back without stopping .

Back at Mrs. Huo Sen's house, Zou Kai was relieved. Fortunately, Mrs. Huo Sen hadn't cooked yet, otherwise he would have to try all kinds of wonderful potato dinners at noon today.

Mrs. Huo Sen was washing potatoes in the kitchen at the moment. Zou Kai quickly invited someone out of the kitchen and said that he would cook by himself. Mrs. Huo Sen gave up the kitchen without much excuse.

After Mrs. Huo Sen left, Zou Kai checked the ingredients in the kitchen and found that potatoes were the most. In one basket, there was still a large piece of bread that Maier sent last night, and a small basket next to it contained more than a dozen eggs. There are also a few green peppers on the side.

After a glance, Zou Kai already knew what kind of dishes these things can make, so he started to do it immediately.

After peeling the potatoes washed by Mrs. Huo Sen, Zou Kai cut the potatoes in half, then pressed the cut surface on the chopping board, cut into slices and shreds, and put them into an iron basin the size of a basketball.

The knives in Mrs. Huo Sen's kitchen did not have a large square kitchen knife with a thin back, although this indirectly affected Zou Kai's cutting speed.But he was not a chef for nothing in the past few years, and he quickly cut the potatoes into shreds with a flat-pointed knife that he was not very comfortable with. Each slice was about the same thickness and looked very uniform.

I don't know if the location of Woliji Village is particularly suitable for growing potatoes. In short, all the potatoes here are big, and two potatoes can be cut to fill a small pot.Fill the small basin with water so that the shredded potatoes are all soaked in the water, and Zou Kai puts the basin aside.

Then he washed several green peppers, removed the green pepper stalks and green pepper seeds, put them on the chopping board, flattened them with a kitchen knife, and cut them into shreds.I took out some garlic and patted it twice on the chopping board, and searched left and right, but I couldn't find dried chili, so I felt a little regretful.

What Mrs. Huo Sen has here is enough for him to fry a shredded green pepper and potato, which is what he intends to do.But besides green pepper and potato shreds, he also wanted to make a hot one. After looking at the basket of eggs, Zou Kai picked two out, smashed them into a small bowl, put a little salt on them, and if he couldn't find the chopsticks, he used an iron spoon to force them Stir.After stirring a few bubbles, he put the prepared egg liquid aside and started to heat up the pot.

Wood is still used to make fire here, but Zou Kai is not troubled. His hometown is also in the countryside, and he also burned wood when he was a child. It is very easy for him to start a fire, and the fire started in a short time.

After the water in the pot evaporated, Zou Kai poured the oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot for a while, he poured the egg liquid into the pot, fried it and mashed it, and poured a small pot of water into the pot , covered the pot.

After doing this, Zou Kai turned around and picked up the shredded potatoes soaked in the water. At this time, he could clearly see that the water in the basin was turbid, and the starch in the potatoes was soaked out at this time.

While draining the shredded potatoes, the water in the pot was already boiling. At this moment, the kitchen was full of aromas. The aroma of fried eggs was dispersed in the water, and diffused with the steam, which attracted Mrs. Huo Sen. I came over and took a look, with anticipation in my eyes.

Zou Kai signaled that she would be ready soon, turned around and poured out all the egg soup in the pot, preparing to fry shredded potatoes.

Boil the water in the pot dry, add oil, and fry the garlic for a while when the oil is hot.In fact, Zou Kai also likes to put a few dried chilies and a pinch of Chinese prickly ash into it at this time, so that the stir-fried green pepper and potato shreds taste spicy and more fragrant, but due to limited conditions, Mrs. Huo Sen does not have any Dried chili and Chinese prickly ash, he also saved these two things.

After the garlic was fried and fragrant, Zou Kai immediately poured the drained shredded potatoes into the pan and stir-fried. When the shredded potatoes were fried until golden and shiny, he poured in the shredded green peppers.

Considering that Mrs. Huo Sen is an old man, Zou Kaiduo fried it for a while before putting salt out of the pot.Then he baked some more loaves and brought them to the table.

Mrs. Huo Sen was looking forward to it, but her good quality kept her calm. After Zou Kai brought all the dishes, she took a sip of the egg soup with a spoon.

After taking this soup, Mrs. Huo Sen's only feeling is the aroma!It smells so good!The rich aroma of the fried eggs is all melted into the soup, and drinking the soup is a bit more mellow than eating fried eggs alone.

After taking a sip of Mrs. Huo Sen, he couldn't help but take a second sip. Seeing that Mrs. Huo Sen liked it, Zou Kai was also very happy. He also pushed the green pepper and potato shreds towards Mrs. Huo Sen.

Mrs. Huo Sen turned her attention away from the egg soup and took another bite of green pepper and potato shreds.

Although the green pepper and potato shreds are not as fragrant as egg soup, the refreshing potato shreds are added with slightly spicy green pepper shreds, which tastes crisp and refreshing, and it makes people want to eat a second bite after one bite.

The two quickly finished the meal with slices of bread. Mrs. Huo Sen offered to clean up the table by herself and asked Zou Kai to go to the mill to help.Mrs. Huo Sen had a very satisfying meal. At first, Zou Kai couldn't understand why Mrs. Huo Sen could eat two home-cooked dishes for the state banquet, but when he thought of Mrs. Huo Sen's usual level of cooking by herself, he immediately figured it out .

The mill was busy for a while in the afternoon, and it took a while to relax in the evening. Maier, who also helped the mill, hadn't spoken to Zou Kai all day. He was probably still angry about what happened last night, but Maier's Attention was also directed towards Zou Kai.

At this time, when I was free, Maier had nothing to do, and suddenly couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart. After a while, he ran to Zou Kai and asked: "Why do you stay with us? You are from outside the village, and you have been to the Forest of the World. Although You look weak, but if you can enter the forest of the world, there must be something very strong, why do you stay in our small village?"

Zou Kai was startled, he had never thought that this awkward and curious child would have such an analysis, he thought for a while, and said: "People always have to go through some things to know what they want. After I came out of the forest of the world, I found that staying in this small village is the life I like."

Maier suddenly came alive: "What monster did you encounter in the forest of the world? I was so scared that I just wanted to hide!"

Is this problem over yet? !

Zou Kai suddenly had a feeling that if he didn’t answer this question well, he would never be able to be quiet in the future, but he really didn’t know what was in that world forest, so he had to talk nonsense with him: “A pig with a tail, a pig will Cannibalism, there is a group of spiders with beautiful faces, there is a kind of fruit on the tree that looks like people, and there is a monkey with six ears. Oh, that monkey pretended to be another monkey that turned into a stone, and then he was People were killed..."

At first, Maier listened with gusto, but the more he got to the end, the more he felt like he was talking nonsense. When he heard that the stone turned into a monkey, he wanted to ask questions. Zou Kai said "I was beaten to death", and Maier immediately called out. Come out: "Hey! You are lying to me!"

"It's really smart." Zou Kai casually praised, "You can already hear that."

Once again, Maier was blushed by Zou Kai's anger, and immediately shouted: "Let's fight!"

"Kids go." Zou Kai didn't take him seriously at all.

"You're a child too!"

"I'm already 24." Zou Kai said casually.

"Who will believe it! Come to a duel!"

Zou Kai looked at Maier helplessly: "Actually, I don't know either."

"What?" Mel didn't respond for a moment.

"I said I don't know what's in the forest of the world." Zou Kai didn't look at Maier, he put his hand into his pocket, and quickly retracted it. He wanted to smoke again, but he held back, "I When I woke up, I was at Mrs. Huo Sen's house, and I had no memory of what happened in the Forest of the World, so don't ask me in the future, I don't know, and I'm not interested."

Maier stared at him blankly, and he realized that he seemed to have asked a question that shouldn't be asked. Kai didn't want to mention things in the forest of the world, perhaps because he experienced very sad things there.

It is impossible to enter the forest of the world alone, maybe his companion died in the forest of the world, and he was the only one alive, so he naturally didn't want to mention it.Perhaps because of this, he chose to stay in the village of Woliji, but he just didn't want to face his friends' relatives.

Zou Kai was sitting on the low window sill of the mill, looking at Maier's expression. Although he didn't know what the kid had imagined from his words, he also knew that he had slipped through.At this moment, he stretched out his hand and brushed Maier's hair indiscriminately, jumped off the window sill, and waved a hand while walking towards the door: "I'll go back first."

His tone was sad, as if he was remembering something sad, and even his back was a bit melancholy.

In fact, Zou Kai is really depressed. He fooled the child here and forgot the time. He also forgot to tell Mrs. Huo Sen that he will cook from now on. Can he go back before Mrs. Huo Sen cooks now? !
