12dz Chapter 255 General Qi
Chapter 255 General Qi
Put the bacon close to your nose and smell it. You can smell the obvious fruit wood smoke aroma. Looking at the fat and lean texture, you can tell that this is a good piece of bacon.
The bacon was cut into thin slices and blanched in cold water. In order to prevent it from being too salty, Zhou Shouan cooked it for a little longer.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he found some dried mushrooms, picked out a few kinds and soaked them, so that he could stir-fry them later.
Cut a few eggs for General Zhonglang as well, in case he likes them.
By the way, there are also chili peppers and chili powder, which is also a seasoning and there is no need to wait any longer.
Hmm? What is Pueraria root powder? My brother didn't seem to introduce it to him.
Fortunately, the niece left a letter. Zhou Shouan took a look at it and found out that this is how to eat Pueraria powder. It is very simple to make.
After the bacon is cooked, the fat part is almost transparent. After a little frying in the pan, a lot of oil is released, and the salty and fragrant aroma immediately fills the entire accounting office.
"It smells so good! Luckily I didn't give that guy a chance."
"That's right, it's a good thing that such good meat was taken back by General Zhonglang."
As it was approaching noon, Zhou Shouan tried his best to make some delicious side dishes.
I don’t know if his taste is on the same level as that of General Zhonglang.
There was a plate of fried bacon with dried mushrooms, a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, a plate of preserved eggs, and a pot of stuffed kudzu root powder. In addition to these dishes, there was also a dish of stir-fried shredded radish and a dish of scrambled eggs with leeks.
But what’s different from usual is that a little chili powder is added to it.
Before serving the dish, Zhou Shouan tasted the juice with a serving chopstick and found it tasted good.
Just add some sugar to the kudzu root powder wine to make it taste better.
"Shen Yang, come on, help me hold the board."
Two people brought the food into the tent of the General of the Central Army one after another, but unexpectedly they came out again just as they entered.
It turned out that the meal was not for Zhonglang Zhe to eat, but for the general and the young master. No wonder he had to make a trip in person.
This was the first time that Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang saw General Qi at such a close distance, and also the first time they entered the central tent.
This place is not as magnificent as I had imagined. The most common things here are books and weapons, and several sand tables occupy most of the space.
"How come Rui'er is free to come here today?"
General Qi was studying a military book, while Young Master Qi, who was standing beside him, was charging left and right with a sword in his hand. His posture was so fierce that he almost split the tray in Zhou Shouan's hand in half.
He was so scared that he shivered.
"Qi Xu, stop making trouble. I made you some delicious food. Didn't you say you didn't have a good appetite? Come and try it."
Qi Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over. "Second brother, I'm not that squeamish. I just felt a little uncomfortable when I first arrived a few days ago. I'm fine now."
Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang placed the food on the table and removed the lid.
The few people who had looked disdainful just now were immediately attracted by the dishes in front of them.
"Huh? What kind of dish is this? Why haven't I eaten it before?"
"My dear, this dish is called Bian Dan. My brother brought it from his hometown yesterday. It tastes pretty good."
"What about this?"
"This is called Pueraria lobata powder wine. It tastes sweet and is considered a sweet soup."
Qi Xu was very curious about the dishes he had never eaten before.
Zhou Shouan's words made General Qi pay attention to a situation, and he asked about the reward in detail.
He had no choice but to tell him everything he knew.
"Haha, okay, you guys go down first, it's time to eat."
After Zhou Shouan and Shen Yang left the tent, General Qi sighed.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? You should be happy that so much food and fodder has been donated."
Qi Xu was eating the kudzu root powder wine in the bowl, it was sweet and delicious.
"Alas, you don't understand. The more food and fodder we have, the greater the responsibility. There are millions of people behind us. All this food and fodder is filled with enthusiastic hearts."
"Dad, come over and have dinner. The food has gotten cold after walking all the way here. If you keep talking, it will really get cold."
Qi Xu had just come from the capital, and originally wanted to share some of the pressure with his father. He really didn't want to see him looking so worried.
"Haha, ok, I smelled the fragrance just now."
General Qi loosened his wristband and sat down to taste the food.
"Hmm~ It tastes good, Rui'er. I didn't expect you to eat so well. It seems like we should change the cook."
"Dad, I'm just a cook. If you want me, transfer me here."
"Tsk, I'm just kidding you. How can a boss snatch someone from a kid?"
"Hurry up and eat, or I'll finish it. This egg is really good, crystal clear and delicious."
Qi Xu was very satisfied with the food in front of him. The bacon was delicious, the mushrooms were fresh and tender, and except for the shredded radish, everything else was acceptable.
It has been a long time since I came to the border and had such delicious food.
Not only Qi Xu thought it was delicious, General Qi and Qi Rui also felt it was good.
Before they finished their meal, the three of them had already turned their topic from food to the war.
The weather is very cold now, and the foreigners have a hard time, so they come to cause trouble from time to time, disturbing them and making them unable to live in peace.
Now the eldest and the third brother are leading the troops on the periphery and have not found anything unusual yet.
But no one knows whether there is an explosion hidden under the long silence.
……
In addition to the good food in the big tent, Zhou Shouan also prepared special meals for his brothers.
We don’t see much meat in normal times, either cabbage or radish. Now that there are more of these things, we have to save everyone’s taste buds.
After heating up two bowls of mushroom sauce, the aroma wafted out of the tent.
"Oh my god~ Could it be that these cooks are secretly cooking for themselves?"
"That's right, that's right. Why does it smell better to me than what we eat?"
"Go and have a look."
A few big men lifted the curtain of the tent and saw that other people were also eating radishes and cabbages, but the food smelled better than what was in their own bowls.
What's going on?!
It turned out to be the two bowls of mushroom sauce.
The jar that Zhou Shouan opened contains porcini sauce. In addition to porcini, there are also some meat pieces and chopped peanuts, which tastes particularly delicious.
Especially when it was being stir-fried in the pan just now, the taste was so good that Shen Yang was drooling.
No wonder people outside couldn't stand it and came over to find out what was going on.
Not to mention eating this mushroom sauce mixed with vegetables, it is delicious even if you put it directly in steamed buns or mix it with rice.
"We have to eat this good stuff quickly. We're really afraid they'll snatch it away from us."
Shen Yang is particularly protective of his food. Protecting his brother’s food is like protecting his own food.
Two bowls of mushroom sauce were barely enough for the cooks in the tent to handle, let alone for the people outside.
Those people left reluctantly without even getting a spoonful of sauce.
His elder brother brought him three jars of mushroom sauce in total, and at this rate he could finish them all in one day.
