Du Changqiu didn't realize what Fanxing was thinking beside him at all,? He was making grapefruit vinegar and grapefruit honey, and was preparing to make grapefruit rice cakes by the way.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple to do.

Cut the grapefruit into slices with a horizontal knife, even the belt meat can be used,? A layer of meat and a layer of soil honey,? Cut it directly and seal it up, then seal the glass crock, and then just wait for the grapefruit and honey to react naturally ,? Grapefruit is marinated by honey to produce juice,? The solid slowly turns into viscous golden grapefruit honey.

After about half a month, grapefruit honey will be ready to eat. Then open the glass lid, scoop a spoonful of pickled, soft and fragrant grapefruit honey, drink it directly with water, moisten the lungs and spleen, and moisten the intestines. ? Not only delicious, but also good for the body.

Spread the bread directly or cover it with pudding or something like that. The soft grapefruit peel inside has a strong grapefruit aroma when chewed. Because it is pickled and delicious, the honey juice pickled inside will come out when chewed, very sweet,? Paired with crunchy bread, those who like sweets will definitely not be able to stop eating.

The reason why Du Changqiu is so experienced is because grapefruit honey used to be Fanxing’s favorite, because Du Changqiu refused to give him too much, for fear that he would eat too much. After eating the dried honey, yes, eat it dry without adding anything.

After eating, this guy wiped his mouth and went back to sleep. When Du Changqiu woke up, the housekeeper who was in charge of the kitchen was so scared that he almost hanged himself on the spot.

This time Du Changqiu just happened to see grapefruits on the hillside behind Xiaoyan Village, which happened to be the grapefruit forest in Aunt Laotian's house.Du Changqiu told Aunt Lao Tian, ​​and Aunt Tian said that the grapefruits were planted by the man in the family. In those years, the grapefruits were easy to sell. The two of them were old, and the family had a lot of fields, but the children went to school and went to work. .

But he couldn't bear the waste of the field. At that time, Auntie Tian's man thought, how about planting some fruit, which is easy to manage, and it will be fine if it is planted and weeded and sprayed regularly.

As a result, it cost a lot of money to buy half-sized saplings specially, and the ones that can bear fruit in two or three years.At that time, I thought a lot about it, fearing that the market would disappear after the grapefruit fruited, but I didn't expect it, and it was all in vain.

The grapefruit merchants come here every year, but the problem is that the grapefruit grown in Auntie Old Tian's house finally bear fruit in the third year, and every grapefruit looks strange.When I bought it, it was said that the fruit is at least as big as a human head, and the largest can grow to the size of a football or basketball.

But when it came to fruition, it was discovered that, not to mention a human head, each fruit was at most two fists in size, only a circle larger than a big orange, and looked as if it was completely immature.

But it's obviously a long cycle!

Cut one, the sour facial features can be directly wrinkled together, completely inedible!

The two of them tried until the end of autumn with the feeling of not wanting to give up, and finally they tried it out. This grapefruit matures a little later than ordinary grapefruits, and it is so small in size.People who don't have a mouthful of sour after being fully ripe have their souls out of their bodies, but they are still very scary, and they can't be eaten as fruits at all.

Every time the fruit merchant who collected grapefruit came to try it, the grapefruit almost sent people away as soon as it was eaten, so of course it couldn't be sold.

If they can’t sell it every year, it’s like giving it away to others. In the end, a small piece of pomelo forest was planted, which was a full ten acres of land. In the end, tens of thousands of catties of pomelo were all rotten every year.

It's a pity, but the problem is that no one can eat this thing. Aunt Tian is reluctant to part with it. Every year, she picks some grapefruits to make underwater fires, but the old couple can eat a few a year, and they still rot on the tree. .

When Du Changqiu went to clean up the land, of course he also cleaned up Auntie Tian's grapefruit grove. The grapefruit was ripe a few days ago, so Du Changqiu wanted to try it, to see if the grapefruit would taste better after the land was cleaned up.

As a result, as soon as I picked it back and cut it open, I found that the grapefruit had a particularly strong aroma, and the smell only made people feel refreshed.

Everyone was attracted by the aroma, and the children ran over and squatted waiting for Du Changqiu to share the grapefruit.In the past six months, the villagers have been used to watching TV and movies at the door of Guan's small kitchen at night. The population of the village is simple, and the children are waiting here to eat, and no adults specifically call.

Some adults smelled the incense and came over to take it.

As a result, everyone picked it up and put it in their mouths, and at the same time, the painful mask came out.

"Auntie Laotian, is your land poisonous!" One of the younger uncles couldn't help but said in horror, "Why is every household's rice and vegetables becoming sweeter and more delicious this year? This grapefruit has turned sour!"

"Bah, bah, it's only poisonous in your field! This grapefruit tree is not taken care of, so it's not good to eat, what does it have to do with my land?!" Auntie Tian didn't refute that grapefruits were bad, but the two of them couldn't grow them. Thinking about it, the children will have to plant in the future. Naturally, no one is allowed to say such unlucky words, so they stare and spray back.

The fighting power of the old aunt in the village, most people would not dare to touch the tiger's beard lightly, so the old man dared not say anything, he just muttered: "This grapefruit is so sour, widows can eat sour babies alive, tsk tsk tsk... …Guan Wazi, don’t eat it, you want to eat pomelo, Uncle Ming’er, I’ll go down the mountain, and I’ll bring you two.”

"It's okay, I'll just try it." Du Changqiu naturally wouldn't let anyone take him, he was also soured by the grapefruit, and snatched away the grapefruit that Fan Xing planned to try, but Secretary Liu and the others were not so lucky. His entire face was wrinkled together, and he frantically rinsed his mouth when he spit it out.

At that time, everyone's topic at night became how terrible the grapefruit at Aunt Lao Tian's house was. Even a good movie didn't cause such a big discussion, and he became the best C, so he knew how sour the grapefruit was.

But Du Changqiu tasted it at the time. The grapefruit is sour, but the grapefruit has a very strong aroma, and the sour taste is not that very uncomfortable sour, but the unique, clear and fresh sour aroma of the fruit, with a very overbearing grapefruit at the same time aroma.

This kind of grapefruit is definitely not suitable for eating as a fruit, but if it is used as a derivative of grapefruit flavor, it is definitely the best!

This is also the reason why Du Changqiu came back today with a basket of grapefruits. He asked Fanxing now, and began to wash the grapefruits to make honey. Fanxing likes grapefruit honey. Du Changqiu made several recipes, including honey and brown sugar. ,brown sugar.

Maybe many people will think that sugar is the same, why do so much more?

But in fact, people who know a little bit about cooking will know that the taste of sugar is actually very different. To make certain things, if you say honey, you must use honey, and if you say rock sugar, you must use it. Bingtang, because those details felt different at the time, but after fermentation, sometimes there will be completely different effects.

For example, in the bowl of angelfish back then, Chai Yu would feel that other people's angelfish seemed to be missing something, but when Du Changqiu made it, he felt that the color and fragrance were all there.

What's the difference here?That is, a fairy fish, starting from the fish used, the length, size, and the method of bloodletting and deodorization, have already begun to widen the gap.

It is said that if you want to use a wild one-year-old wild crucian carp, it must be this big. If you say it is an arm’s length, it must be an arm’s length. how to deal with...

These tedious details require constant trial and adjustment.Sometimes just the change of the stove requires the chef to have a keen sense and be able to adjust measures to local conditions in time to ensure normal performance.

When Du Changqiu saw this dish, it took more than three months from when he became interested to finally researching the finished product that he was satisfied with.

This is the time spent on the basis of his culinary skills and experience.

Of course, this is also because this dish is only passed on by word of mouth, there is no specific and detailed method, or the method is not quite correct.At least when Du Changqiu restored it according to the method mentioned in the recipe, he found that according to the method and proportion, the fish must not be rotten and fall off, nor can it be delicious, thick and smooth.

But the reason is the same, more cooks, except those who are extremely demanding of themselves.Others will feel that "the fishy smell is not done well, but it is almost ok", "the chicken soup seems to be not stewed well, but it is not bad, and it can be used", "the heat seems to be not very precise, some meat has been cooked It's rotten, but most of them are still very tender, and it seems to be okay"...

Those details that seem to be similar, here and there are a little bit worse, and what is finally presented will be quite different.

The last dish is delicious, tender and nourishing angelfish. You can't find the fairy spirit that lingers on your lips and teeth, and it becomes different in thickness. The fishy smell in the soup overwhelms the taste of chicken soup. You may even take a bite of the fish, which is extremely dry. , people's impression of thick and smooth old soup becomes the only memory of unpalatable fish.

Although it takes a lot of effort to reach the peak of these details, when the chef reaches the peak, he strives for this little bit of sensitivity and high standards for himself.

Just like why Du Changqiu's fish noodles are so good, it's because of the technique that Mr. Pan hammered out with the meat slices.At the beginning, it took a full year or two to practice hammering the meat until it was transparent and not loose, and it could still be lifted up.

This is also why Du Changqiu can endure loneliness. Practicing all year round is actually very boring. If Du Changqiu himself is a person who spends time in the library and squatting in the laboratory all the year round, he may not be able to bear his temper at all. He can practice with just a piece of mixed meat. to this extent.

In the process of learning, many people will doubt why they have to practice to this level. Isn't this just a useless effort?

But in fact, if you continue to learn, you will find more and more that after you have laid this boring foundation, in all the subsequent cooking, it seems that you have practiced the peerless internal skills. Any foreign moves are in your hands. If you practice a few more times, you will naturally be able to fully integrate and master them all.

For example, I have learned how to mix meat stuffing and make meat slices as thin as cicada's wings, so it is easy to make more difficult dishes such as swallow dumpling skin and fish noodles.

The same is true for pickled things. A sugar looks very simple, but the smell of brown sugar is heavy. Cane brown sugar has a unique aroma of brown sugar, beet sugar has a little sweetness of its own, and brown sugar has no smell, which will not cover up the matching. The aroma of the light fruit itself, as for the honey, it has a slight honey smell, and the sweetness is more intense and viscous than other sugars.

In addition to the difference in sugar itself, the amount of grapefruit honey will also determine the thickness of these grapefruit honey, so Du Changqiu made some, arranged them in a row, the yellowish grapefruit mixed with sugar of various colors, looking at it makes people feel happy excellent.

When the grapefruit honey is ready, start making grapefruit vinegar.

Of course, Du Changqiu's method is not simply boiling with alcohol and adding grapefruit. His method is the ancient method of making old vinegar.

Vinegar was one of the most precious condiments in ancient times. The production of vinegar was extremely careful in the selection of raw materials, and each family had its own secrets for vinegar koji.

The vinegar that could be used as a tribute in those days was all over the top. Some kojis were fermented with a lot of precious medicinal materials. Different ingredients such as peanuts are baked and fermented together to ensure that their own vinegar is more fragrant and smoother than others...

Just one step of this ingredient can already distinguish an unknown distance.Then there are solid stacking fermentation methods, stirring fermentation methods with wooden barrels with different aromas, and even fermentation rooms built on special bases, stacked straw for heat preservation, and fumigation methods.

The taste of vinegar, when it is well made, even the local people will take some vinegar back, use it every day, add wine and various ingredients while taking it, and finally cultivate their own unique taste of old vinegar.

The grapefruit vinegar that Du Changqiu wants to make is similar to this method.He mixed ingredients according to his favorite smell, sautéed them, boiled them, and finally sealed them in a huge jar. Chai Yu was surprised when he saw it. He didn't recognize what the boss made at all, but he felt It looks very complicated.

But for the last one, Chai Yu recognized it as soon as the boss started.

After finishing this, Chai Yu watched the boss pick up the glutinous rice that had been soaked for a long time, grind it into rice milk in a stone mill, steam some of it, add syrup and raw rice milk to stir and ferment.

Then squeeze out the grapefruit juice, and then fish out the diced pomelo peel and inner flesh that was castrated with honey juice before.

The inside of the pomelo had been pickled and softened, obviously it was full of honey juice, Chai Yu watched as the boss filled the bowl with pickled pomelo, steamed it, and then added some of it into the rice milk.

Immediately afterwards, add rice milk and stir to ferment again. When the fermentation is complete, steam it on high heat. When the soft, white and fat rice cake comes out of the pan, Chai Yu can see that the boss has cut two small pieces neatly and gave one of them Pour a lot of honey juice overflowing from the inside of the steamed grapefruit.

Then he took it and went to Mr. Fan's side.

Chai Yu knew that the boss and Boss Fan wanted to eat those two yuan, and they could eat the rest as they wished!

Chai Yu happily ran over and cut himself a large piece.Then he crazily put one-third of the honey juice. He knew it was rice cakes, and he also knew that he didn't like rice cakes.

But Chai Yu knew better that the boss made something delicious!

Sure enough, he was right. The rice cake was soft and fluffy in the mouth, with a strong grapefruit aroma in the sweetness. It was refreshing and sweet. After eating a large piece, it would not be greasy at all!

Not only will they not get bored, but Secretary Liu and Captain Su and Dr. Zhao quickly cut off their portion, and they ate very quickly. Looking at the empty plates, everyone felt that there was not enough to eat.

And they were not the only ones complaining today, Fan Xing took a bite of this grapefruit rice cake, and suddenly felt his whole heart was lit with fireworks.

"Okay, I can only eat a little bit of this thing, and when you are completely cured, I will make more for you." Du Changqiu removed the plate, not daring to eat too much for Fan Xing.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, when he first met Fanxing, Du Changqiu didn't feel anything was wrong, but after getting along for a long time, although Fanxing was still a child at heart, Du Changqiu gradually began to feel awkward.

Because Fan Xing gave him the feeling that the change was too great.

Originally, Fan Xing didn't like to take a bath. When he pressed her to take a bath, her ears turned into airplane ears at first, and then she tried her best to slip away, or was tempted by delicious food, with a resolute expression of humiliation...

But now, Fan Xing seems to have become a real "person".He will not resist taking a bath, nor will he simply show his expression on his face. Whenever he takes a bath, Du Changqiu feels more and more that he is not bathing his pet Fan Xing, but helping a man who is also human.

In the past, Fanxing was tall, but without any pressure.

This man is just silent, but full of aggression that cannot be ignored.

"Am I too heavy?"

"Ah, I accidentally touched the nozzle, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry... this is a natural reaction of the body, I can't control it..."

……

These details, dialogues, and sense of interaction are completely unprecedented experiences in bathing stars.

Du Changqiu realized more and more that Fan Xing was a person, and he was communicating with him, not losing his temper, nor resisting, let alone lying down and taking a bath.

He is a person.

A strange, strong homosexual.

Those stars who used to run around naked, would only make Du Changqiu yell "Don't run out!", worrying about being discovered by the palace people and then rumored that His Majesty has gone crazy, or that the dirty palace caused trouble.

Now when the other party has become a calm, communicable, and even able to exchange many concepts and ideas freely, the strength and strength of this skin are endowed with meanings other than being healthy and strong.

The meaning was disturbing, it was Du Changqiu's instinctive feeling that his territory had been violated and he wanted to fight back.

But it also made him feel that the place where he was stared at was hot all over. When he saw the other person raised his head and looked at him obediently, he would have a strong urge to protect him from the wind and rain.

This kind of emotional conflict and intensity is completely unfamiliar to Du Changqiu.

He felt fear.

But Du Changqiu didn't understand where this anxiety and fear came from.

He only knew that this fear disappeared a little when he watched Fan Xinglu and ate something delicious.

It seems that as long as Fanxing is still the calf who loves to eat and play, and he can find the animal instinct moments from Fanxing, he can take a breather...
