Food conquers the world

Maier's potato shreds were cut very slowly and uneven in thickness. Zou Kai went out for a walk, and bought two wild plums from Mrs. Huo Sen to suppress his cigarette addiction. After returning, Maier finished cutting a potato.Zou Kai looked at the fat and thin potato shreds, but said nothing. He patted Maier on the shoulder to get him out of the way, and he cut up the remaining potatoes neatly.

After cutting, Zou Kai put all the shredded potatoes he had cut out into a basin filled with water, and explained: "The shredded potatoes should be soaked for a while, otherwise the starch will stick to the pan when there is too much starch."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Maier, and seeing that Maier had listened to it, he washed the pot and poured oil into it while explaining, and fried a plate of shredded potatoes. After copying, he ordered the pile of shredded potatoes from Melche and signaled: "You make it yourself. once."

Melton jumped up suddenly: "Me, myself?"

"That's right." Zou Kai said, "Isn't it you who do it and I do it?"

"I'll just watch you do it once!" Maier said anxiously.

Zou Kai felt that the child was a little annoying: "It's just fried potato shreds, how many times do you want to watch it?"

"Then, I'll try."

Maier followed Zou Kai's steps step by step. Even though it was the first time, the stir-fry was still decent. Except that the shredded potatoes were a little ugly, everything else looked similar to Zou Kai's dish.This gave Melton some confidence, and he and Zou Kai served the potato shreds on the table.

Zou Kai also baked two pancakes to serve with shredded potatoes. After serving, Zou Kai put the ones made by Maier on Maier's side, and put the ones he made in front of himself and Mrs. Huo Sen.

Maier couldn't wait to taste the potato shreds he made, and he had no objection to Zou Kai's arrangement, so he started to eat as soon as it was served.

Crisp and sweet... Maier narrowed his eyes and shouted after a while: "I can do it too!"

Zou Kailue looked at Maier with some surprise, and he made it himself and ate it himself. This is the method his master taught him. His old master often said: "You can't eat it yourself, so how can you serve it to the guests?" Zou Kailue This method is also used to teach Maier now, but Maier's reaction is completely wrong.

Looking at the color, Zou Kai discovered the problem. Maier did not fry the potatoes for enough time, because he had already cut the shredded potatoes into uneven thicknesses, so now the thin ones should be cooked and the thick ones undercooked, but Maier I don't seem to have a problem with eating at all?

His gaze swept across Maier's face, and Zou Kai immediately figured out the key to the problem: Maier had never eaten fried potato shreds, so of course he didn't know what kind of potato shreds was delicious!

Zou Kai had no choice but to push the potato shreds he made in front of Maier, light the plate with a fork and say, "Taste a bite."

Maier obediently took a sip, and his originally shining eyes slowly dimmed.

"Do you know the gap?" Zou Kai asked.

Maier nodded, but he was still a little puzzled: "Obviously I followed the steps you said..."

"There is still a long way to go." Looking at Maier, Zou Kai said with rare earnestness, "Learning cooking is a long process. I can teach you one or two ordinary dishes, but if you want to cook really delicious dishes, You can only rely on your own accumulation, step by step slowly."

"Cooking?" Meyer repeated the word.

"Well, cooking." Zou Kai said.

The word cooking does not seem to exist in the language here. This is a word he created based on the language here, which can be interpreted as: the art of the kitchen.

"Then I can learn real cooking skills?" Maier had new expectations.

"Yes." Zou Kai said, "As long as you want to learn, I will teach you."

"Thank you teacher!" Maier yelled the teacher sincerely this time, and after he finished speaking, he carefully tasted the difference between the potato shreds he made and the potato shreds made by Zou Kai.

At this time, Mrs. Huo Sen put the soaked oatmeal in Maier's hand, and looked at the two with a gratified smile.

A studious student is naturally liked by every teacher. Zou Kai took a sip of the cereal handed over by Mrs. Huo Sen in a good mood, and immediately frowned: "I told you to put less sugar, Huo Sen will rot your teeth." Mrs. Sen!"

Mrs. Huo Sen spread her hands innocently: "But this is more delicious."

"It's delicious! It's too sweet!" Zou Kai frowned, "Can you let me come next time!"

"You young people have done everything, but what can we old people do..."

Maier was young and eager to learn, and within a few days, the potato shreds were fried decently, and then Zou Kai asked him to use the potato shreds frying technique on fried cabbage, and Maier could also master it very well.

This day, Zou Kai felt that there was nothing to teach about cooking. He was teaching Maiermeier how to make fried potato shredded cakes, when a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mrs. Huo Sen! Is Mrs. Huo Sen at home! This is Rhodes, I Come deliver something!"

"Come here!" Mrs. Huo Sen's voice came, followed by the door opening.

After staying at Mrs. Huo Sen's place for so long, this is the first time Zou Kai has someone come to deliver things in such a rude manner. Generally, people who come to deliver things to Mrs. Huo Sen don't pick this time for lunch.Zou Kai was a little curious, so he went out to take a look, and found that it was a middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

The middle-aged man was sitting in a one-horse truck covered with a dusty cloth. He could only see that there were a lot of things on the truck, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Here is the honey and salt you asked for." The man lifted a corner of the cloth, took out two jars and handed them to Mrs. Huo Sen.

Mrs. Huo Sen paid the money, took the things, turned around and saw Zou Kai coming out, the man in the car also saw him, and the man took off his hat and saluted: "Hi, I'm Rhodes, I'm traveling around the nearby towns Shopkeeper, you must be Kai, I heard from other people in the village that you are a brave man who came out of the forest of the world!"

"Hello." Zou Kai returned the salute like he had seen in the past few days.

"I'm buying and selling things in several nearby villages." After a simple self-introduction, this familiar shopkeeper has already started to solicit business for himself, "If you have anything you want, you can tell me, I will I'll bring it for you when I come."

"Is it okay to want anything?" Zou Kai joked.

Rhodes coughed, "I'm a serious businessman."

Zou Kai smiled: "Is there any dried chili? And vinegar."

He has wanted to make hot and sour potato shreds for a long time!

"Dried chili?" Rhode didn't seem to know what it was, and asked a little strangely, "What is this? Sun-dried chili? I don't have it here, but I do have a few bottles of chili sauce and vinegar."

"Chili sauce?" Zou Kai didn't know how the chili sauce and vinegar in this village without gourmet cells would be. He felt that it was very unreliable. "Can you show me first?"

"Yes!" Rhodes had already turned around and began to turn over the truck behind him, and after a while, he dug out the chili sauce and vinegar.

Zou Kai took the two jars, first smelled the vinegar, and found that there was no strange smell, then looked at the chili sauce, the color of the chili sauce was bright red, and it looked quite good.

"How much?" Zou Kai asked.

"Two copper coins for vinegar, one copper coin for chili sauce." Rhodes replied.

Zou Kai put down his things. Now all his savings add up to only three copper coins. After buying these two things, he becomes a pauper without a penny.

Just at this time, Mrs. Huo Sen poured honey and salt into the jars of her own house, and came to return Rhodes jars. Seeing that Zou Kai was in trouble, she said, "I still have some money here, you can buy it if you want."

"No, actually the chili sauce isn't very good." Zou Kai didn't say that out of politeness. He was telling the truth. The chili sauce here is made by directly chopping chili peppers and adding water. Although the spicy taste of chili peppers is still preserved, But the fragrance is missing.

After thinking for a moment, Zou Kai asked the shopkeeper, "Where do you buy your stuff? I want to go and see for myself."

"Is that so... the goods are not as you expected?" Rhodes felt a little regretful.

Zou Kai smiled and didn't answer, the meaning is self-evident.

"I bought the vinegar and chili sauce in the small town of Dunn, and the goods there are quite complete," Rhodes said, "I just want to go there to replenish the goods. If you want to go, I can take you with me, but I need you Pay the fare."

fare...

Zou Kai glanced at Maier, who was still busy in the kitchen, and shouted loudly, "Maier, do you want to go to town!"
