Gourmet food starts from the green leather train chef

Chapter 228 There are hot springs and wine!
When Zhou Zhou once again became famous on x164, Zhou's parents and mothers also discovered their 'new continent' in Lanqing Mountain.

Zhou Tijun thought that he was Tao Yuanming in this world, maybe he was in his previous life, otherwise how could he have many adventures in Lanqing Mountain?
The Lanqing Peak on the back of Taohua Bieyuan really surprised him. During the construction, the engineering team found a beautiful valley here.
For this reason, Zhou Tijun specially approached Zhang Dehou, and after confirming that the valley is still unowned, he immediately moved his "superior hermit" careful thinking.

Early the next morning, Zhou Tijun, who couldn't wait, took his wife and Cheng Lin's mentor and apprentice, and the group started their adventure in the valley.

"My wife, that's great. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that there is such a beautiful valley in the north. It seems that even God is helping me. This is to help me create my own in all aspects. The Peach Blossom Spring!"

Zhou Tijun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Ever since he stepped into this nameless valley, he felt that everything was so familiar and friendly. Isn't this the fairyland he dreamed of?

These days, how many rich people can't live in the city, but they want to go to the barren mountains to become a reclusive expert. I saw it on the news a few days ago. It is said that the rent of a dilapidated thatched hut in Zhongnan Mountain has risen to several Thousands of yuan, what are the broken thatched huts in Zhongnan Mountain? This undeveloped valley in front of you is the real fairyland.

Li Yufen unexpectedly did not refute her husband, and she also fell in love with this beautiful valley in front of her from the first sight.

Walking in the valley, even the feet are soft, and there seems to be waves of heat coming from the soles of the feet, which makes people feel very comfortable. Walking in the valley for a while is like getting a free foot massage.

Both the couple and Cheng Lin were a little surprised. This is in the north, and even spring water is very rare in the mountains. Could it be that there will be Remai Hot Spring in this small valley?If that's the case, let it go!

The scenery in the valley is also very strange. It may be because of the humidity and heat that some plants that could only appear in the southern tropical rainforest actually appeared here. I don’t know how the uncle of these plants sent the seed pollen here. I guess Is it the way of two little bees buzzing and buzzing to pass seeds and flowers?
Not far ahead, you will come to the green bamboos in front of you, and you will hear the sound of gurgling spring water flowing in your ears. After walking for a while, you will bypass several large green bamboo forests, and your eyes will suddenly open up. The hot mist curled up, and it turned out to be a warm hot spring!

Zhou Jinjun kept laughing happily: "Good guy, there are so many springs, I think this unnamed valley should be called Hundred Springs Valley! When Xiaozhou comes back, I will bring him here and give him a big surprise! "

This kind of environment is the most imaginative. What Zhou Tianjun thinks about in his head is the beautiful scene of soaking in the hot spring with his wife in a swimsuit. What Li Yufen thinks is that his son will have a wife in the future, so let them come here every day Soaking in hot springs can be said in popular science articles on the Internet, which is good for the fetus.
"Whizzing!"

Zhou Tijun and his wife were enjoying themselves, when suddenly two black line-like objects shot out from the depths of the flowers and grass, and hit them directly at their ankles.

"Snake? This is a good thing, a great tonic!"

When the two snakes were hiding deep in the flowers and plants, everyone naturally couldn't find them, but this movement was immediately heard by Cheng Lin.

Ordinary people are rarely able to react when encountering a snake attack, but who is Cheng Lin? He is a cook who has been on the Qinxing Weapon Book!

When it comes to cooking snakes and insects, except for professional snake catchers, chefs must be counted. Cheng Lin laughed, and stepped on the two flower snakes seven inches with a flash of lightning, and then He grabbed the tails of the two snakes and threw them to his apprentice Niu Yong.

"Hey, little ones, don't move around when it's in the hands of Grandpa Niu."

Niu Yong was drooling, grabbing the tails of the snakes and shaking them violently, the joints of the two flower snakes that were delivered to the door were immediately shaken off by him, and they drooped limply.

"Master, where there is a snake, there is medicine, hehe"

The big fool Niu tied two snakes around his waist like a belt, and started looking for herbal medicines everywhere. There must be restrained herbs next to the poison, and most of them are good wild herbs. Even a cook knows it. The deliciousness of the snake made Niu Yong's saliva almost flow out.

Zhou Zhou is already his god-brother now, and his adoptive father and adoptive mother are old and need nourishment, so I have to do my filial piety for my brother
Not to mention that this Baiquan Valley is really a treasure land of geomantic omen. In places where the atmosphere is slightly warmer, there are often herbs growing. In addition to a few herbs that invigorate qi and benefit, he actually found a plant of Shouwu. It's a pity. He is still young, and there is only a vague human figure, and it is not clear whether it is a red man or a green woman.

"Xiaoyong, it's almost enough."

Cheng Lin looked at what his apprentice Niu Yong had gained, and nodded in satisfaction.

With his cooking skills, if he eats this 'flower and snake herbal diet', even the dead will have to turn over, not to mention that the old couple of Zhou Yinjun just need to nourish their bodies; He saved him a lot of face in public, and in the eyes of old-fashioned people like Cheng Lin, he was kind to himself. Now that Zhou Zhou is not in Lanqing Mountain, he used a pair of snake food to season the bodies of Zhou's father and Zhou mother, which is considered a little repaid his kindness.

Lanqing Mountain is very beautiful, but after all, there are many mountains and heavy yin energy. The old couple Zhou Tijun and his wife were not born and raised here. If they stay for a long time, their bodies will inevitably be damaged, and they must be nourished at all times to maintain their vitality.

Seeing that there were medicinal herbs and flower snakes, Cheng Lin, also known as Niu Yong, took some dry branches and dug a quite large fire pit. As for kitchen utensils, chefs like him carry all kinds of kitchen utensils with them, so they can bury the pot on the spot Cooking, eating snake soup, what you want is fresh.

Seeing that Cheng Lin was going to have a picnic, the old couple of Zhou Junjun became excited immediately. They took the water ladle that Cheng Lin brought and chose a shallow pool with the clearest water quality. According to Cheng Lin's explanation, they confirmed whether the spring water here After the strong sulfur smell, I took the water with confidence.

When they came back, Cheng Lin's master and apprentice had already set up a fire frame, hung up the soup pot, and the flames were rising from the bottom of the pot.

After the clear spring water was poured into the pot, Cheng Lin began to clean up the pot of snake soup; the old couple Zhou Tijun and his wife sat aside, looking at Cheng's bearded serious face, feeling grateful and excited at the same time. Of course, his son is not what he used to be. Not only is he a top-notch earner, he has been on TV, and he has become a super chef, but he also allows Cheng Lin's master and apprentice to serve him wholeheartedly. Isn't this a dream?
Li Yufen gently poked her husband, and said in a low voice: "My son is promising now, why don't you find him a wife as soon as possible before he comes back from this trip? My old colleague has a daughter."

"Pull it down, I've seen an old girl, she's too dark, and she doesn't look good, how can she match our son? If you want me to say that Miss Chen who drove with him is pretty good"

"That won't work. She also owns a sports car. From now on, the young couple will be out of the car. Who will take care of the children?"

"Of course you took me with you, take your grandson here to soak in the hot springs every day!"

"How do you know it must be a grandson? I still want a granddaughter."

"Anything is fine, as long as it is born by our son, both men and women are the same, even if it is male or female, I like it!"

"Bah, bah, bah, you are neither male nor female, you are not allowed to curse my grandchildren!"

The couple chatted and laughed in a low voice, but Cheng Lin stared at the snake soup seriously. This used wildfire, which was not as easy to control as the natural gas in the kitchen, so even he had to be more careful.

This pot of "Hua Snake Medicine Soup" is a test of the chef's skills. In the initial boiling, small boiling, and large boiling stages of the soup, it is necessary to add various medicinal materials, and the amount and location of the snake meat and various medicinal materials. , all of which are exquisite; if these are not mastered well, or the taste is not enough, or the medicinal properties are difficult to volatilize, they will become middle- and low-quality works, either the taste is damaged, or the medicinal effect is difficult to reflect. Ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners or chefs think To fully grasp it, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Cheng Lin is not only proficient in Taiwanese cuisine, but also has a great research on Cantonese cuisine. When it comes to cooking snake soup, it is also first-class. Snake meat and medicinal materials are divided into different categories, and they are clearly separated in the soup pot, and they have their own places; but when he was cutting the ingredients, he even took into account the rolling direction and flow speed of the soup, and the movement between the materials was forced to rely on a certain "force". Regularity, against each other in one place, bite each other, not chaotic.

When the medicinal food was almost cooked, Cheng Lin turned off the fire and simmered for a quarter of an hour using the residual heat of the plant ash. The pot of snake soup was finally done.

"Father, mother, the snake soup is ready, please try it!"

Niu Yong took out a few wooden bowls and wooden spoons from his luggage, carefully packed two bowls and gave them to Zhou Tijun and his wife; Father and mother have forgotten me as a master?

"Xiaoyong, you can drink too."

Li Yufen smiled and touched Niu Yong's head. The more she looked at this godson, the more she liked her, and she began to think in her heart that she should also give Niu Yong a wife.

The couple gently took a spoonful of snake soup and put it into their mouths.

Good soup!

Originally, snake meat has a strange fragrance, which is incomparable to any kind of poultry and livestock meat, and Cheng Lin's medicinal food skills are no worse than those of those national-level culinary masters. The medicinal food cooked by him not only has no strong flavor The taste of the medicine, on the contrary, relies on the reasonable combination of medicines and the mastery of the heat, and the medicine is used to force out the umami taste of snake meat, and it does not lose the mellowness of the medicine itself.

After drinking this soup, the old couple only felt that their mouths were full of fresh fragrance, and there was a flow of energy flowing down their throats, quickly spreading through the stomach, and penetrating into the whole body, which made the minds affirmed, kind of The feeling of jumping from a wobbly boat to the shore, with your feet on the ground.

This sip of soup made the old couple breathe a sigh of relief. It felt as if the heat was surging all over their bodies, and all the physical strength they had consumed before had returned; this Master Cheng is really good at cooking. He said that he lost to Xiaozhou in terms of cooking skills. Well, how good is Xiaozhou's culinary skills now?
-
Most of the pot of snake soup cooked by two five-flowered snakes is really unpalatable. The four of them started together, and it turned into a pile of snake bones in a short while. Even the old couple Zhou Tijun felt the blood in their bodies surging, warm everywhere, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

Zhou Tijun proposed to continue to explore the depths of the 'Hundred Spring Valley', but Li Yufen didn't object. She felt that she could dance in the square for a few hours, let alone walk a little.
The four of them hit it off and started to walk into the deep valley. Walking on the hot ground, they took off their shoes before they knew it, and stepped on the soft and warm fallen leaves and flowers, which was very comfortable.

After walking for more than half an hour, I heard Niu Yong at the front shout loudly: "Master, godfather and godmother, please look up!"

Cheng Rin, Zhou Tijun and his wife looked up and were stunned.

At the top of the valley, there were three waterfalls at some point. The springs stirred each other like beads and jade, falling from the sky and falling into the nine crystal clear pools below. Looking at the Nine-Eyed Pool, there was a huge spray of water mist and waves, which was very impressive, just like the silver dragon from the sky descended into the world and was about to overwhelm the river and the sea.

There is such a Valley of Hundred Springs in the northern mountains, which has already taken away the aura of heaven and earth. At this moment, there are three more waterfalls.

The water temperature of the three pools near the waterfall is the lowest, while the temperature of the other six-eyed spring water gradually rises. However, there are natural stone beams that divide the pool water into nine natural and irregular areas. It can infiltrate each other, but people's sight in each small pool will be blocked by stone beams. This is simply a natural bathing pool for men and women to bathe together.
Women are the least resistant to hot springs. Even though Li Yufen is over 50, she can't help being a girl at this moment. She took off her shoes and walked into the pool with a smile. It's the most suitable, you come down too."

Zhou Tingjun smiled and said, "I don't just soak my feet like you do, I have to take a bath if I want to soak!"

He quickly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of boxer underwear, slipped into a pool of 'medium temperature', and greeted Cheng Lin's master and apprentice with a smile: "Master Cheng, Xiaoyong, there are stone beams separating this place, and there is hot fog." Cover your eyes, you don't have to worry about it, come down and take a bath together, everyone will go back clean."

"Then I won't be polite. I'm really tired from the journey. It's best to soak in a hot spring."

Cheng Lin smiled and took out a few wooden floating boards, a set of wine utensils and a small jar of wine from the travel bag Niu Yong was carrying: "Brother Zhou, what do you think this is?"

"Haha, Master Cheng, did you know in advance that there is a hot spring here?"

It's cool enough to have a hot spring, but there is still wine?Zhou Tijun is so happy, what is a god, he is now!
"That's not true. These floating boards and wine are things I like to keep in reserve when I was in Taiwan. I usually keep them in my luggage. I didn't expect to use them."

Cheng Rin took off his clothes while talking, and walked into the pond where Zhou Jinjun was. Through the curling hot fog, he could faintly see his big beard floating and sinking on the water.
This set of wine floats is the hot spring companion and the ultimate enjoyment. Lao Cheng, who likes to soak in hot springs in Taiwan Province, just brings it habitually, and it just came in handy today.

The pool where he and Zhou Tijun are located is located in the northwest of the nine pools separated by stone beams. The water temperature is about 42 degrees Celsius, which is just right for Asians. When the heat of the water covers the whole body, it seems that there are countless small ants gnawing, and then the whole body feels numb and crispy, and the sweat pores are also forced open by the heat, and the sweat flows out with the poison in the body, which makes the whole body feel ecstatic. Light, very carefree.

A wine glass, a small jug with a thin neck and long belly, and a small plate of pickled radish have been placed on the floating board in front of the two of them; people will sweat a lot when soaking in hot springs, so they need to soak for a longer time Therefore, some salt must be added. This dish of pickled radishes is also a must-have for Cheng Lin.

"Come on, let's go together."

Zhou Tijun clinked glasses with Cheng Rin, drank it up with a lift of his neck, and laughed heartily.

"When my son comes back, I must let him have a dip too, and have a good time with me as an old man.
It’s best for the daughter-in-law to come with her.”
