Chapter 166 Lychee Complex
Speaking of this matter, Zhong Jing was also a little helpless, so he could only explain with a smile: "Then you must have noticed that those lychee trees are of various sizes, and some of them are so thick that they are so thick that they don't know how to live. How old is it!"

Zhao Liya and Shu Yan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

Zhong Jing sighed with a smile: "That's a long story. At the beginning, the soldiers stationed in Lingnan were all soldiers sent by the imperial court from the north. They did not recruit local people from Lingnan. It was only in the past 20 years that they gradually recruited them. Many local people. Haven’t we northerners never seen or eaten lychees? I’ve always heard that lychees are delicious, so I don’t come here anymore and I don’t have anything else to do, so let’s grow lychees No matter what, I may eat enough of the precious things that I couldn’t eat in the past, and it’s also a kind of comfort! It’s not like every year, more and more lychee trees are planted, around the barracks, They can be found everywhere on the hills, on the edge of the fields, and people who came later have inherited this tradition, but when they come here, regardless of other things, the lychees must be planted."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, now we grow some every year. Of course, everyone has long been tired of eating hahahaha."

"So it is like this!" Zhao Liya suddenly realized, and basically understood.

Litchi is indeed a "legendary" fruit in the north, extremely delicious and precious. Countless literati have written poems about it, which further deepens this stereotype.In particular, the story of Concubine Yang and Lychee and the eternal swan song "a concubine laughing while riding the world of mortals" have touched the hearts of many people, and even made people elevate the status of Lychee.

The south of the Five Ridges is remote and remote, and none of the soldiers in the north would be happy to be sent to garrison here.

But they couldn't refuse either.

When you come to this place, it is not surprising that you will use lychee, a legendary fairy-level delicious fruit that the northern people can’t ask for, to talk about comfort, self-comfort and comfort, in order to find peace of mind and stability, and calm depression and unwillingness. up.

So far, planting lychees has probably become a tradition of soldiers. Even though there are countless lychees and they can't eat them all, they still have to plant them when they should.

It seems to be at ease only after planting it.

Zhao Liya saw a lot of lychee seedlings on the mountain, which should have been planted in the past two or three years.

Shu Yan also understood a little bit, and said with a smile: "Then there are so many lychee trees now, I'm afraid I can't eat them all every year."

Zhong Jing laughed and said, "Where can I eat all of it? This lychee is delicious, and it's easy to get angry. Some people don't dare to eat more! Besides, I used to think about how precious and rare it was in the north. Now that the mountains are full, it is not rare, who is not tired of eating it, but still eats it rarely! But it is still planted every year, and everyone is used to it.”

Shu Yan was surprised: "It's still planting, and when they ripen every year, there are so many lychees, what do you do with them?"

Zhong Jing smiled indifferently: "Who cares about it! If someone wants to eat it, pick it up, if it's too ripe, no one picks it up, just drop it on the ground! This thing is not worth much in Lingnan."

He thought of something, and couldn't help laughing again: "The leaders of the Huotou Army had a sudden idea a few years ago, using lychees to cook, and fried a big pot, and almost lost their temper The sergeants were beaten up, that stuff was too bad! Later they didn't dare hahahaha!"

Zhao Liya and Shu Yan couldn't help laughing too.

Shu Yan smiled and said: "It's really thanks to them that they figured it out!"

Zhao Liya's heart was moved, and she said with a smile: "Actually, cooking lychees is not bad, but the cooking method of the Huotoujun masters is too simple and rude. Not only lychees, but also many fruits can be used in dishes. If they are well matched, the taste Still pretty good."

These words made Shu Yan and Zhong Jing's eyes brighten, and they both looked at Zhao Liya.

"Really?"

"Really!"

Shu Yan took Zhao Liya's hand and said with a smile: "Good sister, you are the smartest, you have so many weird ideas! You teach me quickly, and I will definitely make it out for everyone to try."

"That's right! Sister Xiaoya, tell me quickly." Zhong Jing felt that his heart was itching to salivate.

In other words, while Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang are not around, I can still eat more!
Zhao Liya didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Did you forget that there are no lychees in this season!"

Zhong Jing and Shu Yan: "."

"Oh, I forgot! What a pity!"

"It's also easy to handle. Now there are dragon fruit, papaya, jackfruit, and mango. Sister Xiaoya, can you see if there is anything you can use?"

Everyone is a fruit, lychees are fine, so should they be?

Shu Yan's eyes lit up again when she heard this, and she looked eagerly at Zhao Liya——the eyes of the top students are definitely like this, full of strong desire to acquire new knowledge!

Zhao Liya was funny and heart-moving - she wanted to try it herself, so she smiled and said: "Well, then I will think about it carefully!"

"well!"

"Okay, okay!"

Zhong Jing and Shu Yan were not both happy.

It's too late for dinner today, but it should be fine tomorrow.

Shu Yan was also in charge of the dinner, and Zhao Liya helped her.

Zhong Jing originally wanted to send two fire-headed soldiers over to do odd jobs, but they resolutely declined.

That can't be done!
The two of them cook their own meals, at most they can cook some more, and give Zhong Jing a big portion, the two of them can do it by themselves, so how can someone come here to help?

That's too hypocritical.

Shuyan's main dishes for dinner tonight are barbecued pork in honey sauce, fried bacon with bracken and sauerkraut, roasted old chicken with spring bamboo shoots, two vegetarian dishes, and a soup with shredded bacon and bamboo shoots.

After Shu Yan's skillful hands, each dish is endowed with a more delicious taste, and everyone will never get tired of eating it.

The next morning, Zhong Ming came over with two sergeants, each holding a basket of fruit in front of them.

"Miss Zhao, Mrs. Lin, our general said, you two can use these fruits to see if you can use them. If you don't have enough or need something else, just tell the little one, and the little one can find it as much as possible."

Shu Yan cooked a lot of dishes on purpose, and as Zhong Jing's right-hand man, Zhong Ming naturally ate some, so he was very active in giving fruit.

Zhao Liya took a general look, oh, it's really rich, besides what Zhong Jing said yesterday, there are grapefruit, oranges, bananas, pineapples, and coconuts.

Zhao Liya nodded and said with a smile: "These are enough. You can't use so much for cooking, but it's cheaper for us!"

Zhong Ming laughed: "Miss Zhao likes to eat, the villain will send you a basket every day, we have a lot of them here!"

Zhao Liya laughed and waved her hands: "That's not necessary!"
