Young Master Ziyu stayed in the back mountain and refused to leave, but at least the task of delivering food fell on the big-breasted sister.
The young master was frightened by hunger and could not trust Lin Chou.
Lin Chou wandered around the stream again, packed a total of three small bags, and brought them back to the tavern to continue making sour fish sauce - this fish sauce is not that fish sauce.
The fish sauce Lin Chou makes is the sour fish sauce that his father taught him when he was a child, just like the shrimp paste and crab sauce that were also made by his father.
The reason why he suddenly decided to make fish sauce was because Lin Chou discovered something that surprised him on the bank of the stream.
There are many species of grasshoppers, also known as centipedes, with multiple pairs of long legs, and there are venom gland openings on the top of the feet. When they come into contact with human skin, they may cause skin irritation, redness and swelling.
When there are a large number of centipedes, they will also gather together to live together. Lin Chou unceremoniously packed up several nests of centipedes and brought them back.
The flower centipede is golden yellow overall with blue-black spots on its feet. It is also often called "money string".
Lin Chou packed a small bag, but couldn't open it.
This thing moves very quickly. It can be said that it is a parkour master in the insect world. It can fly over walls and climb walls. Some flower centipedes even know how to spread their long legs and use the wind to take a trip at will.
I found a wide-mouthed casserole, put chaff in it, and buried the cloth in it.
Simmer over low heat until the first wisp of green salt emerges from the top of the chaff shell, then take out the small cloth bag, open it, and pour the treasures inside into the chaff shell.
At this time, all the straw beetles are dead, either by themselves or entangled with their companions, forming a ball.
Roll twice in the hot chaff. When they turn brown, sift them through a sieve and set aside.
The sour fish sauce originated from the Hakka people before the catastrophe. The most famous one is the Leishan fish sauce in southeastern Guizhou. It uses a unique fish named after the geographical location, the Guizhou rock-climbing loach, and has a very unique taste.
As long as you leave the local area, it will be difficult to replicate that taste.
Almost everyone thinks that the most important material for making fish sauce is fish, so they work hard to find the small fish that can only be caught artificially in rare numbers.
But little did they know that straw beetles were the indispensable main ingredient.
Rock-climbing loaches are rarely caught and can be replaced with other small fish and shrimps, but for straw worms, no single ingredient can take its place.
Among the small fish Lin Chou brought back, there were only a few dozen rock-climbing loaches. They were gray and ugly, and they didn't add up to two liang. The same was true for the Chi fish, there were only a few, and more were running ding and Willow roots.
The largest of these small fish is only half a finger long. There is no need to remove the internal organs. Wash them with a few drops of snake wine, drain the water and pour it into a stone basin. Then add grasshoppers, fresh mountain pepper, and dried chili powder. , white wine and fried green rice.
Chop fresh chili peppers and young ginger, peel off the skin of shallots, flatten them and pour them into a basin together.
The ratio of fresh pepper to ginger is three to one, and the combined weight of the two is heavier than the small fish.
There is no need to add water throughout the process, because the juices produced by the fermentation of fish, ginger and fresh chili are thicker and more flavorful. Adding water will dilute their taste.
Add salt, mix evenly, put it into a jar, mix it with plant ash and mud into a jar, seal it and put it in a cool place, and wait for seventeen days.
...
Lin Chou breathed out. There was another seasoning available in the restaurant. Most people would not understand this kind of satisfaction and enrichment.
There probably wouldn't be any customers until the rain stopped, but doing nothing was not his style.
So Lin Chou took out the melon seed bench... Bah, and took out the plants' feed bucket.
The source crystal solution, the saved blood of various exotic beasts, scraps and sewer were all mixed together, and the bucket was carried to prepare a meal for the plants.
Compared with the huge size of Nepenthes, which can easily reach tens of meters, one or two spoons of feed seems... a bit inconsistent.
Now there is no need to bury feed under their roots when feeding, because the pitcher plants are already waiting there with their grins on their faces.
Lin Chou found that at least a dozen Nepenthes plants were dead, and even their "bodies" were gradually melting under the rain of source crystals.
This made him a little worried. He had worked so hard to dig out these pitcher plants from the wilderness. He took care of them and they grew up little by little, almost like his own children - although there were a lot of them.
This situation made Lin Chou unable to help but feel sad.
Alas, there have been so many beauties since ancient times... Ahem, what a miserable life!
Let me have the urge to compose a poem again,
"Ah~!"
As soon as an interjection came out, a loud roar came from behind.
"Little brat!"
Lin Chou was trembling at that time. This voice seemed a bit familiar.
"Boy Lin!"
Lin Chou felt guilty. He threw the bucket and was about to walk back. Lao Zhao grabbed Lin Chou by the collar and pulled him in front of him.
"Boy Lin, you still dare to run... Where is my precious grandson? If you don't give me a clear explanation today, believe it or not, I will tear you alive and drink you?"
What a guy, you actually dare to fight me on my territory!
Don't think that all cooks have a good temper. A qualified cook should have the ambition to throw everything in the world into the pot and weigh a few spoonfuls of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. These are the most basic.
Lin Chou blinked his eyes and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
"Lao Bahui, do you believe that I can teach you how to be a new person in just one minute?"
Lao Zhao hummed a word from his nostrils to express his disdain.
"Go away, escort!!!"
Zhao Qingcang's hands trembled and he cursed loudly,
"Where's your bastard's backbone? You're a bastard who can't stand up to the wall with mud. I'll tear him alive, Old Zhao..."
Lin Chou slapped Zhao Qingcang's hand away, turned around and entered the tavern.
"It's a joke, you, a master of who knows how many levels, can you support me and a small first-level wimp like me over and over again to climb the wall?"
"That's it..."
Lin Chou stretched out two fingers and said, "Twice!"
Old Zhao scratched his head, well, it seems like this will happen when Zhao Ziyu wakes up.
"You kid, how can you hold a grudge? You still have the nerve to shake it off!"
"hehe."
Lao Zhao had no choice but to say nothing for a long time, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.
"Ahem, Xiao Linzi, Ziyu is hiding here with you, right?"
"Not here!"
Old Zhao chuckled and said, "This little bastard ran away very fast... I was planning to let him out, but who knew that this kid ran away on his own."
"If you're not looking for Ziyu, then what are you doing here?"
Lin Chou almost had the words "I don't welcome you" written on his face.
Lao Zhao didn't feel dissatisfied, "This is a restaurant, what else can you do in a restaurant?"
Lin Chou looked up and down and saw that Lao Zhao was wearing a straw raincoat with mud on his legs. He had obviously come all the way from Mingguang.
After walking 200 kilometers and it was raining heavily, why did you come here just to eat?
You won’t believe it even if you’re lying!
