[Comprehensive martial arts] I heard that you want to draw cards

Huamanlou was rarely silent.

That's not to say that Huamanlou isn't a quiet person.

Most of his life is quiet and lively.He can hear the sound of the wind gently blowing in his ears, the beauty of flowers blooming, and the beautiful and rhythmic sound of butterflies flapping their wings...

Huamanlou is a person who enjoys life anytime and anywhere.

At these times, his silence is to feel the enthusiasm of life.

And at this moment, feeling the drastic change in the shopkeeper's aura, Hua Manlou's silence was filled with a touch of embarrassment.

But how would he explain it—tell his new friend that his cooking was stolen by his friend's friend because it smelled too good?And he was lucky enough to get a share of the pie?

This sounds ridiculous.

Hua Manlou couldn't help showing a wry smile, how should he explain this matter?

Huamanlou here was in a tangle, but Liang Sanyuan suddenly understood something, stopped asking about it, and then enthusiastically recommended Huamanlou to eat food.

Hua Manlou was taken aback: "This..."

Liang Sanyuan blinked at him, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't see, so he could only say: "It's okay, young man, try this dish carefully, it's even better than last time."

Some things don't have to be said clearly, Hua Manlou understands, thinking that Liang Sanyuan has his own plans, so he won't say more about this matter.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely taste it."

Food is not enough to invite people to dinner, Liang Sanyuan took out the Huadiao wine left over from making drunk crab yesterday.

The alcohol content of Huadiao wine is not high, the alcohol is soft, the color of the wine is orange and clear, the aroma of the wine is rich and fragrant, and the taste of the wine is sweet and mellow.

On a cold autumn night, Liang Sanyuan warmed the wine in the kitchen.After heating, the alcohol content of Huadiao wine is reduced, so it becomes more mellow and thicker, and it is easier to drink.

Not to mention that crabs are cool in nature, and Huadiao wine warms the stomach, which is an excellent match.

Good crab, good wine, good friends.

Sure enough, it was a good feast for the guests and the host.

At dawn, the sleepy brothers Zhang Wu and Zhang Yong came out of the backyard one after the other. They were about to fetch some well water for washing, but they saw the kitchen lights were on.

Zhang Yong was careless and didn't notice that he went straight to the mouth of the well, but the cautious Zhang Wu saw it, and he frowned slightly.

Because breakfast is not served outside, and there are only a few rooms in the inn, there is basically no need for breakfast. In case of emergency, there are wontons from Lao Wang.

Boss Liang usually comes out of his room after a few hours. When he is in a good mood, he cooks his own breakfast. At other times, he goes out to buy food.

Therefore, Boss Liang should not be in the kitchen.

Boss Liang is sympathetic to Wang Yao's mother and daughter who are helpers in the kitchen. It is not required to get up early every day, and it is enough to do the pre-lunch preparations ordered the night before in time.

They shouldn't be in the kitchen either.

Wu Zhong, the handyman, is usually not in the kitchen. He has his own residence, and it's not yet time for him to start work.

Probably not him.

After analyzing it in his mind, Zhang Wu could only come to the most correct conclusion—there was a thief coming.

But what can a thief steal in a kitchen?

Because the sky was not yet bright, he could clearly see a figure flickering in the bright candlelight inside the house from outside. Zhang Wu was sure that the thief must still be there.

Zhang Wu made a quiet gesture to his elder brother, Zhang Yong was quick-witted, and immediately walked to his younger brother softly, making an interrogation gesture.

Zhang Wu whispered his thoughts to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong has always believed in his younger brother, and immediately looked to the kitchen—yes, there is indeed a figure of Taoism in there!

In addition to the worry and anger that rushed to his heart instantly, he couldn't help wondering: Did this thief not do his homework before stealing?It's just that you don't know the schedule of the master's house, but the lights are still blatantly on? ?

Strange as it is, the two brothers found a wrist-thick wooden stick from a corner and slowly moved towards the kitchen.

They are all young and energetic lads who don't know what fear is.

The two pressed against the door frame, listening to the movement inside.

There is a sound of something being moved, it should be packing.There was no sound of conversation, which meant that there was only one person.

The two brothers looked at each other and rushed in tacitly.Zhang Yong shouted: "Little thief, where are you running?!"

The people in the room were startled by the sudden sound. They raised their heads and looked at the person who came, wondering, "Xiaoyong Xiaowu? What are you doing?"

At this time, Zhang Wu had already seen who was in the house, he quickly grabbed his elder brother who was still rushing in, and shouted eagerly: "Brother, it's Boss Liang!"

Zhang Yong held up the wooden stick and made an emergency brake, opened and closed his mouth, and finally a word popped out: "...ah?"

……

Liang Sanyuan slowly wiped the water droplets on his hands with a square towel, and after listening to Zhang Yong's explanation, he gave him a sideways look: "Catch a thief?"

Zhang Yong blushed and nodded.

Liang Sanyuan put down his scarf and looked at Zhang Yong with a look of resentment.He sighed, and said, "I see you are a bit older than Xiao Wu, why are you more lively than your brother?"

Zhang Wu, who had imagined an accident in his mind, bowed his head and remained silent, with red ears.Unconvinced, Zhang Yong opened his eyes wide and defended himself: "No! Boss, it was my younger brother who said there was a thief!"

Hearing this, Liang Sanyuan immediately changed his face, and forced a loving smile from Qingjun's delicate face: "It turns out that Xiao Wu is so stable, very good, very good!"

Seeing the double standards of the boss, Zhang Yong was in disbelief.

His facial expression is really rich.

Seeing the grievance of this living treasure, Liang Sanyuan laughed loudly, and Zhang Wu, whose face was as paralyzed as Zhang Wu, also showed a faint smile.

It was only later that Zhang Yong realized that he had been tricked by his boss and his younger brother. However, one was the boss who paid the wages and the other was his younger brother. He dared not speak out.

It's not good to tease other people's children anxiously, Liang San wished to accept it when he saw a good deal, suppressed the exaggerated smile on his face, and praised sincerely: "It's right to have this vigilance, you have done a good job, The boss will add a good dish for you tonight."

Having seen Liang Sanyuan's cooking skills, Zhang Yong immediately forgot the previous teasing, and looked at him brightly: "Boss, what are we having for dinner?!"

Liang Sanyuan staggered away, revealing what he had been working on early in the morning: "Here, it's right there."

In the kitchen, in addition to several large stoves lined up in a row, there is also a small stove in the corner, and the small stove is burning vigorously at the moment.

Zhang Yong often runs into the kitchen. As the saying goes, he has seen pigs run before eating pork. Even if he doesn't know how to cook, he can see some tricks from Liang Sanyuan's various handling methods.

Zhang Yong was surprised: "Boss, how do you use a tank to cook things?!"

Liang Sanyuan was quite relieved: "Xiaoyong, I am very pleased that you can recognize the vat, boss."

Zhang Yong immediately lowered his eyelids, feeling powerless in his heart.Isn't it just passing sugar as salt in the first helping?Why did Boss Liang hold grudges for so long?

Besides, his family also pickles. Isn't this just a miniature version of the pickle jar? How could he not know it!

Seeing his brother's unrequited expression, Zhang Wu was afraid that he would be the only one left to stick to his post if the blow continued, so he asked, "Boss, I don't think I've ever seen you cook in a vat?"

I have never seen you get up so early.

Liang Sanyuan showed an inscrutable expression.

At dawn, Chef Liang, who had already learned the joy of cooking, got up to make a dish, potted meat.

Crock meat, as the name suggests, is a meat dish made in a crock.Legend has it that Su Dongpo improved on this dish and invented the famous Dongpo pork.

Compared with Dongpo pork, this crock meat is simpler and rougher, but the taste is not inferior.

The pork belly required for the crock meat was delivered by the butcher the day before. The meat is the best pork belly with three layers of streaky meat.The cut meat is about two and a half catties per piece.

It is said that there are no more than four pieces of such meat on each pig.

Pork belly does not need special treatment. After washing, Liang Sanyuan tied the meat with straw to form a "ten" on the surface.

Liang Sanyuan took out a small vat from the bottom of the shelf.He bought this tank from outside a few days ago. According to the seller, it is stronger and can be burned with fire, so it happens to be used now.

However, using the cylinder as a cooker is naturally particular.The tank is well sealed, and the steam can be gathered inside. The steam circulates continuously between the soup and the ingredients, and the wonderful taste of the two can be stimulated to the greatest extent.

Straw and zong leaves are placed at the bottom of the tank, and seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, and red dates are evenly spread on it, and then compacted with a bamboo net, and the pork belly is placed on the bamboo net.

Then, Liang Sanyuan took the boiled juice from lotus leaves and other plants, poured it into the tank, and then put the lid on it.

The meat in the vat is smoldering on a slow fire. Liang Sanyuan adjusted the heat of the small stove and put the small vat on it.

This is the process of making crock meat, and the rest is to spend time on stewing.Liang Sanyuan reminded himself to remember to tell her to pay attention to the heat after Wang Yao came in, so he was going to go back and sleep again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Brother Zhang Yong came in with a loud shout, which startled him.

Thinking of this, Liang Sanyuan decided to keep a secret, ignoring the earnest eyes of the two brothers, he said ruthlessly: "I will find out at night."

After finishing speaking, he waved goodbye, leaving only a handsome back.

......

In a blink of an eye, the last dinner guest checked out and left, and the only two hotel guests also turned off their lights to rest, and Liang Sanyuan gathered in the backyard.

Not only the two brothers who were running around, but the other three also looked at Liang Sanyuan eagerly, especially the little girl He Zhaodi who was very eager after hearing Zhang Yong's vivid description.

In less than a month at the inn, He Zhaodi was completely different from what she looked like when she was sold. Her clothes were clean and tidy, and Wang Yao had two shofar braids, which swayed left and right with her movements, looking cute and elf.

He Zhaodi's round eyes sparkled, and she asked crisply, "Brother Liang, what should we eat?"

Wang Yao gently covered her daughter's mouth, and smiled embarrassedly at Liang Sanyuan.

In fact, she was also very curious. She stayed in the kitchen all day. It was okay in the morning, but in the afternoon, there was a vague fragrance wafting out of the small vat. The smell was rich and mellow, making people itch.

Facing the expectant gazes, big and small, Liang Sanyuan didn't want to keep it any longer. After calculating that time was enough, he walked to the small stove, put a piece of cloth on it, and lifted the lid.

Almost as soon as the lid was lifted, the domineering aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen and spread outward.

The air is filled with a strong smell of meat, and there is a special aroma of straw and zong leaves, which makes people swallow.

Zhang Yong immediately took a deep breath, feeling that his saliva was about to fall to the ground: "Hey, what a good thing this is!"

The eager eyes of the rest of the people had already shifted from Liang Sanyuan's body to the tank.

Liang Sanyuan carefully picked up the straw wrapped around the pork belly with wooden chopsticks, and put the meat into a large porcelain bowl on the side with the help of the straw.

After a whole day of stewing, the pork belly has turned into a beautiful brown-red color, and the crystal clear flesh is trembling because of Liang Sanyuan's movements. Against the backdrop of white porcelain, it is more tender and attractive.

Facing the eyes of everyone who seemed to have not given food to him for ten years, shopkeeper Liang, half proud and half wronged, took out a pair of scissors - the most authentic way to eat meat is to cut the rice rope with scissors, and then Cut the meat into small pieces directly with scissors.

A piece of two and a half catties of meat is enough for ten people to eat, but seeing that the crowd couldn't bear to take their eyes off the meat, Liang Sanyuan simply gave them a piece of meat for five people.

Liang Sanyuan put down the scissors, wiped his fingers with a wet square, and said with a smile, "Take it to the hall to eat, as long as you don't wake up the guests."

Everyone hurriedly thanked the little boss, and Zhang Wu, who was the most stable, held the big bowl, and a group of people rushed to the hall surrounded by him.

Liang Sanyuan laughed and shook his head.

A total of three pieces of crock meat were made, and now there are two pieces left in the crock.Liang Sanyuan opened the kitchen door wide, silently looking at the night sky dotted with stars outside the door.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew across the roof.

Liang Sanyuan stood up straight, and laughed loudly: "The visitor is a guest, why don't you show up, so that you can taste my craft?"
