It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Chapter 2 Unexpected harvest, beginning to show skills

When Xie Shi woke up, maybe the original owner's soul had completely dissipated, or his own soul gradually adapted to the new body. The body actually swept away the long-term illness before going to bed, as if after some washing and cutting, the whole person was completely reborn. At this moment, I only feel that the Lingtai is clear and bright, and the five senses are flourishing, so even though Xie Ju and Cai Po have stayed away from the room where he rested in order not to disturb Xie Shi's rest, and whispered in a low voice, he still listened to the conversation between the two made it clear.

After listening to it for a while, and connecting the memory of the original owner, I figured out the ins and outs.It turned out that Xie's family spent a lot of money on weekdays because Xie Shi was studying and taking imperial examinations, and Xie Shi was a sick child who needed to take medicine frequently, so his family was not rich.This time Xie Shi suddenly suffered a serious illness, and it seemed that he was going to die. Xie Julian invited several doctors, and prescribed ginseng and other powerful medicines, which cost a lot of money, and the Xie family could not afford the money for a while.

At this time, Lu Jia, the canteen assistant who was promoted by Xie Ju, gave him an idea, asking Xie Ju to transfer a part of the college canteen purchase money to Xie Shi to buy medicine, and then find a way to make up for it.Xie Ju was an honest man, so he refused at first, but later Xie Shi saw that it was not good, and his family had no money left, and Lu Jia was by his side to encourage him again and again, so he made a big mistake in a foolish way.

In the past few days, because Xie Shi was seriously ill, Xie Ju asked the academy for a few days off, and he has not gone to work for two days. Just now, Xie Ju carefully cooked a bowl of nourishing porridge for his lost and recovered son. He went to the back kitchen of the academy to get a few good ingredients that he treasured, but unexpectedly, he was told that his misappropriation of purchase money had been exposed, and the person who reported was actually his deputy, Lu Jia!When the manager of the cafeteria saw him coming, he directly offered his position as head chef, and decided to let Lu Jia take over temporarily so that he could take care of himself.

Fortunately, a few helpers knew that Chef Xie embezzled the money to buy medicine for his son and pleaded for him. The manager thought that he was a first-time offender and the circumstances were justifiable, so he decided not to report to the government for the time being. It is necessary to report this matter to Deputy Head Cen before making a decision.

Another day later, Xie Shi, who was already in good health, disregarded Xie Ju's obstruction, got out of bed in draped clothes, and opened the door. It was a square courtyard, not big, but not narrow either. Around the patio and on the corners of the walls, only the living space was left, and the rest were filled with flowers and plants. The original owner loves flowers and plants, and he found and planted them all.It is the summer solstice at this time, everything grows wildly, the flowers and plants should be full of vitality, but Xie's father and son, one is seriously ill in bed, and the other is seeking medical treatment everywhere, the flowers and plants have not been taken care of these days, most of them are a little sluggish, and some cases are serious The flowers and plants are almost dead.

Xie Shi was wearing a jade-colored summer shirt at this time. Because Yanju was at home, he didn't wear a crown for his hair, but the heat was too hot in summer, and his hair was disheveled for fear of sweating his back, so he took a blue silk ribbon and made it into a headscarf. A dark cloud of black hair was bundled up.Seeing the scene in the courtyard, he went back to the house and changed into a brown short jacket that is convenient for activities.He rolled up the sleeves around his wrists to avoid getting dirty, then picked up a small wooden bucket that was half full of water, picked up a gourd water ladle, and watered the flowers and plants in the courtyard one by one.

Just as Xie Shi's postgraduate tutor once said jokingly, when it comes to serving plants, Xie Shi's hands were blessed by Shennong and kissed by the archdruid. He is extremely talented.How much water should be poured for which kind of flowers and plants, which pot needs to loosen the soil, there is no need to carefully weigh it, and it will come when you are grateful.

It can be seen that the original owner is a person who likes to collect exotic flowers and plants. In addition to some common local flowers and plants, most of the flowers and plants in the yard are special varieties collected from everywhere. I am afraid that the odd flowers obtained from copying books on weekdays are all used in the garden. Here it is.Among them, some seeds or plant seedlings that the original owner did not know, but were accidentally obtained, were also planted by the original owner.

Suddenly, Xie Shi glanced inadvertently, and his attention was attracted by an inconspicuous plant in the corner.He walked in, squatted down, and carefully observed this sickly young "fruit tree", and there was a rare wave in his always flat eyes.The stem is like wormwood, the leaves are like mugwort, and it is four or five feet high. Even if the original owner did not know its growth habit and planted it in summer, the long-term sunshine caused the seedlings to stunt, the rhizome was slightly smaller, and it was full of flowers. This is the fact of a few tomato seedlings, maybe in a few days, they will still bear a few green fruits.

As early as when Xie Shi "watched" the memory of the original owner, he discovered that the ancient plane he traveled through is not any dynasty in the history of Hua that he is familiar with, but a parallel time and space similar to Blue Star. Looking at history, Qin, Han, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms generally remained unchanged, but after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, history turned to another fork, and it was not the Zhao family that established the new dynasty, but the Chu family.

The Chu family established the Liang Dynasty, but the tragedy is that even so, the historical inertia is still not so easy to change. Throughout the 300 years of the Liang Dynasty, it is still divided into two periods: the North Liang and the South Liang. The South Liang is located in a corner south of the Yangtze River. , In the end, it was destroyed by the Mongolian nomadic people in the north, and replaced by the Great Mongolian Dynasty.

And tomato, also known as tomato, is a variety that grows in the Andes region of South America. It was first recorded on Blue Star that it was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty. After Columbus discovered the New World, it should not have appeared in this dynasty in this time and space. .But I have to say that for Xie Shi, this was indeed a surprise.After all, for a person who is obsessed with food, traveling to ancient times, the biggest problem is not the lack of air-conditioning and network, but the shortage of ingredients!

As a foreign species, tomato is one of the most commonly used vegetables and fruits on the dinner table of Chinese people. The tomato in Xie Shi's eyes is not tomato, but stewed beef brisket with tomato and potato, scrambled eggs with tomato, prawns in tomato sauce, sour soup noodles in tomato sauce, tomato Egg Soup, Tomatoes in Sugar...

Xie Shi recalled it for a while and knew that the original owner had received a pack of seeds of various colors from a classmate who was originally from Quanzhou, and the seeds of these tomato seedlings might have been accidentally mixed into it.As the most prosperous foreign trade port in Dameng, Quanzhou is full of foreign goods. If there is a chance in the future, Xie Shi will definitely go there.

Tomatoes like to be warm, and only need short sunshine. It is not acceptable to put them in the sun like this. Xie Shi squatted down and was just about to move this pot of extremely precious tomato seedlings to a cool corner of the room——

"Brother Shi, don't do it yourself! If you want to move something, let Dad come, let Dad come!" Xie Ju rushed to Xie Shi, stopped his movements, and muttered: "You are just sick, your body is thin, How can you do heavy work!"

Xie Shi did not refuse his kindness, and instructed him to move to the corner of the house.After Xie Ju finished moving, he persuaded him again: "The fruit of this flower has a strange smell and is as bright as blood. It may be poisonous. You are weak, so you can enjoy it from a distance. It's better not to get too close."

Tomatoes are considered to be poisonous because of their special fruit taste. They were originally cultivated as ornamental plants. It was not until the 18th century that the first tomato-eating warriors appeared, but Xie Shi’s focus was not on this. Has the fruit passed? Is the fruit still there?"

Xie Ju knew he was about to suffer as soon as he heard this, he wished he could slap his stupid mouth on the spot!

"Father, I happened to know this fruit from a book. This fruit is called tomato, or tomato. It is a vegetable and fruit introduced from outside the fan. Although the fruit has a special smell, it can be eaten raw as a fruit, or in dishes, or Made into sauce, it has a unique flavor."

As a cook, especially a chef who sits in the position of head chef, he is naturally interested in new ingredients, and can even overwhelm his fear of unknown ingredients. Xie Ju was a little hesitant: "Before you were ill, Granny Cai helped collect the ingredients. Put a crop of fruit in the kitchen."

Xie Shi's eyes brightened, and the gentle smile he always wore had some real joy. His smile among the flowers made all the flowers in the courtyard pale a little.It's a pity that Xie Ju, the only bystander, was full of the old father's comfort: it's good that the son is happy.

Xie’s house is a typical small courtyard in the south, with four rooms in a single entrance and a hall in the middle. The two rooms on the left and right sides of the hall are the living rooms of the father and son, and the east and west are the kitchen and Xie Shi’s study. There is also a hut built on one side of the kitchen. Generally speaking, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Xie Shi seldom went into the kitchen, but it was not that he believed in a gentleman who would stay away from the kitchen, but that Xie Ju firmly believed that his son would study and become an official in the future, and that the hand of a scholar was to hold a pen, so how could he touch rice, oil and salt.

But for Xie Shi who came from time travel, the kitchen is his home field. Didn't you see that the small one-person apartment that Xie Shi bought in Hyundai back then, most of the area was the kitchen.Xie Shi took out a few homegrown eggs from the bamboo basket, and took out a few tomatoes that Xie Ju respectfully placed in the high place in the kitchen.

Xie Ju stared blankly at his son strolling through the kitchen with a leisurely and contented attitude, and was a little puzzled as to when Shi Ge was so familiar with the kitchen when his fingers were not in the sun.

But when he saw Xie, he put the tomato in the water to wash it, and when he picked up the knife to make a cross on the tomato, he was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else, "Brother Shi, cut your hands carefully, let me go quickly!" Xie Shi for a long time He didn't do anything, he was in high spirits at this time, and he was not of a delicate physique, so he could only ignore Xie Ju's dissuasion.

Xie Ju was also not good at grabbing the knife. Fortunately, Xie Shi put down the kitchen knife after slashing a few times.There was freshly boiled water in the stove, and when I thanked him, I scooped out some blanched tomatoes. After a while, the skin was easily torn off and cut into pieces for later use.

"Brother Shi, what do you want to do, tell Dad to let Dad come, Dad is a cook with 30 years of skill."

Xie Shi listened to the persuasion at this time, "Father help me light the fire."

After breaking up the local eggs and adding a little salt, put oil in the pot, wait for the oily lines to pour in the golden egg liquid, and when the egg liquid solidifies, it will be taken out as an egg bag, and the next thing that will appear in the pot is today’s The main character——the tomato that came across the sea from the distant America.Tomatoes are stir-fried and crushed until they soften and produce a sour juice that stimulates the taste, and then the fried eggs and sugar are mixed together and stir-fried.

There are sweet and salty tomato scrambled eggs, Xie Shi likes both, but in summer, the sweet and sour tomato scrambled eggs are obviously more appetizing.It's a pity that white sugar is rare and expensive, and this meal used up the only white sugar cubes left in the family.

Xie Shi's operation was as fierce as a tiger, and there was no hesitation between cutting and frying, but Xie Ju had always adopted a "doting" approach to his son, and after Xie Shi was admitted as a scholar, he listened to him in everything, because he I feel that my son knows more about being a scholar than he does.Unable to stop Xie Shi from cooking, Xie Ju could only carefully protect him from the side to prevent the hot oil in the pan from splashing Brother Shi.But gradually, his attention could no longer be fully focused on his son, and a mouth-watering scent of sweet and sour captured his sense of taste.

At this moment, Xie Shi's first dish, tomato scrambled eggs, came out of the pan.
