I have a deep mountain

Chapter 36 Formula Test
Accompanied by the singing of birds in the mountains, Han Dong woke up from the tent.

"Last night I dreamed about my mother again."

Recalling this dream, Han Dong sat in the tent and stared blankly.

Quickly tidying up his emotions, Han Dong walked out of the tent and breathed the fresh air in the forest.

Today's weather is fine, clear and cloudless, Han Dong plans to pick more fungi, black truffles and bamboo shoots back home.

He took the tools and started digging near the tent.

He first dug about ten catties of bamboo shoots, and then dug a few catties of black truffles, and then climbed to the top of the mountain. He still remembered that there were a lot of wild mushrooms growing in the places he passed up the mountain.

The environment of this mountain is indeed very suitable for the growth of fungi. Han Dong dug up many kinds of wild fungi with little effort.

The more common ones are boletus, sheep liver, Coprinus comatus, and chicken fir mushroom, etc. Han Dong dug a lot of them.

Then Han Dong put all the strains in the processing box and dried them in the sun.

After these fungi are dried, they will stimulate their own flavor, and the umami taste is more unique, suitable for stewing soup and making base materials.

Han Dong has been digging all day today, and he has harvested a lot. He didn't choose to teleport back to the real world until it was dark.

It was still morning when he came back, and Han Dong took out the twelve kinds of wild fungi he brought back from the secret forest, and went to the market to buy ordinary beef bones, pig bones, lard suet, butter, various dried chilies, cinnamon, Star anise, Chinese prickly ash………

Han Dong plans to start creating his own hot pot bottom, because the compatibility and proportion of different ingredients need to be tested by Han Dong over and over again, so as to test the recipe with the best taste.

It takes a long time to cook the bottom material, and it is impossible for Han Dong to find the best solution in one day, it needs constant trial and error.

Han Dong boiled two pots of soup today. One pot was made of pork bones, pork suet, dried peppers, star anise, cinnamon... and porcini mushrooms just picked today, and the other pot was made of other ingredients. The material remains the same, the main ingredient is beef bone instead of pork bone.

Han Dong believes that by experimenting with two pots every day, and by constantly controlling the variation of a certain raw material in the formula, he will be able to create the most suitable bottom material for hot pot.

…………

After the two pots of bottom ingredients were boiled, Han Dong tasted it and found that the taste of using beef bones would be more in line with the umami of porcini mushrooms, and the taste of the whole soup bottom was also more delicious, so he silently crossed it out in the small book A combination of pork bones and porcini mushrooms.

Of course, Han Dong didn’t waste the newly boiled soup. He used part of the soup and ginseng water to stew oily tofu and beef. He packed them in two thermos buckets and mentioned that the hospital gave them to his grandpa and grandma who were hospitalized for lunch. .

When Han Dong came to the inpatient department, his grandfather's condition had stabilized a lot, and his blood pressure had completely stabilized. The doctor said that he could be discharged in the afternoon.

"Grandma, grandpa, I made some beef stew for you. I asked the doctor just now, and he said that grandpa can go home in the afternoon."

Grandpa was very happy when he heard it. Although he only stayed in the hospital for two days, the hospital was too boring, and he was thinking about the chickens raised at home. He seemed to be discharged from the hospital yesterday. He was scolded by Chen Sumei, so he dared not say that he would be discharged from the hospital. .

"That's great. It's really boring to stay in this hospital. I told your grandma that it's okay. She insisted that I stay for a few more days, saying that she would raise chickens at home."

"Xiaodong, don't listen to your grandpa's nonsense, he is just old and confused. Yesterday the doctor told him to observe him again. He must be discharged from the hospital in a hurry. If he falls ill again, won't it delay your business again?"

Han Qingguo was blocked for a while and couldn't speak. He had never quarreled against Chen Sumei in his life, but he was used to it. If his wife didn't quarrel with him one day, he would feel bored for a day.

Han Dong smiled and watched the two old people complaining to each other in a low voice. Sometimes the old people are like children, and they will argue for a long time about a little thing.

"Okay, grandma, grandpa, drink the soup while it's hot."

Han Dong opened the thermos, and the rich aroma of stewed beef in beef bone soup overflowed instantly, and the whole ward was filled with the aroma of meat that whetted the appetite.

The patients in the two beds next door couldn't help turning their heads to look over:
"Uncle Han, did your grandson cook this soup by himself? It's so delicious!"

"That's right, my grandson is good at cooking, he's a chef!" Han Qingguo said proudly.

"No wonder, I said how this soup smells better than the one in the store."

"My grandson gave a bit too much, let's serve a bowl for each of you."

Chen Sumei said with a smile, this is a three-person ward, and the inpatients stay in the hospital all day long, and they get to know each other very quickly.

"That's so embarrassing." Uncle Li and Uncle Wang next to him said one after another.

"It's okay, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, I brought quite a lot, even my grandparents can't finish it, so don't waste it."

After Han Dong finished speaking, he scooped up two bowls of soup with disposable bowls and sent them over.

"Thank you so much, this soup smells delicious."

Uncle Wang said with a smile that he was in the hospital alone, his wife died early, and his children were all working in other places. He was hospitalized last week because of high blood sugar. Wages, eating, drinking, and bathing fees are all paid by yourself.

Every time I see Han Dong and Chen Sumei busy in the hospital, I don't know how much I envy Han Qingguo.

After Han Dong knew about Uncle Wang's situation, every time he came, he would help him with small things such as turning on the water and buying food.

Every time after receiving repeated thanks from Uncle Wang, Han Dong was very grateful that he had returned to his hometown to develop.

If I am also working in other places, my grandfather must be like Uncle Wang. I will report good news but not bad news. I will not tell him about my illness. I get sick in the middle of the night and endure the pain until the next day. Care workers.

Then after grandpa was discharged from the hospital, in a call from grandma one day, Chen Sumei would lightly mention to Han Dong, "Your grandpa went to the hospital for high blood pressure a few days ago, but nothing happened now." '

Han Dong felt at ease watching the old men drinking the soup he had stewed.

"Xiaodong, your soup is so delicious. I've lived most of my life, and I've never had such a delicious soup." Uncle Wang couldn't help but praise after taking a sip.

"Yeah, it's really delicious. I went to Tianhe Hotel to eat it, and it wasn't so fragrant. I'm afraid you are a super chef, Xiaodong." Uncle Li also agreed.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, I just graduated as a chef, and I only have a junior chef certificate. It's a good luck that this soup is suitable for your mouth." Han Dong said modestly.

Everyone praised it constantly, and the two big barrels of beef soup were drank up by the four old people in a short time, and the big guys continued to praise after drinking it.

On the way Han Dong sent his grandfather back to Hanjia Village in the afternoon, Han Qingguo suddenly remembered the teacher Wang he introduced, and asked:

"Ms. Wang who had dinner with you the day before yesterday, are you still in touch?"

"Um...that Mr. Wang is not bad, but his family doesn't like me very much. It may be that our family's conditions are average. He is a teacher and eats food from the system. It's normal to look down on me."

"It's all my grandfather's incompetence." Han Qingguo blamed himself after hearing this.

"Grandpa, don't say such things. It's not easy for you and grandma to raise me up. In the future, you and grandma should stop thinking about finding a partner for me. I just want to make more money now and open the store. Open it, then you can find any kind of girl."

"Okay, Xiaodong, you make up your own mind."

Grandma and grandpa smiled and agreed.
