Food conquers the world

Chapter 25 Boiled Wheat Chicken

When receiving the news of the prince's return, Chef, the administrator of Shatiecheng, immediately went out of the city to greet him, and Zou Kai also went to watch when he had nothing to do.

At the gate of Shatie City, Zou Kai saw Prince Prius for the second time, but the prince gave him a different feeling from the first time he saw him.The Prince Prius he met for the first time was a close-to-people superior who would rather embarrass himself a little and treat the people kindly.And the Prince Price he met for the first time always had a kind smile, and with his blond hair, his whole face seemed to be glowing, but this time Price was gloomy, looking at anyone... as if he wanted to put someone in front of him. Like a thousand cuts.

Zou Kai expressed his understanding of Prince Price's cynical expression because of the loss of his father. He thought for a while and found that under the current circumstances, Prince Price might not remember him as a small person, so he decided to show it.

It was almost noon when the prince returned to Shatiecheng, and he must have dinner, so Zou Kai made a braised lion head in the kitchen, fried two side dishes, and made egg drop soup for the prince.Fortunately, Chef also wanted to use him to please the prince, so he sent what he did to the prince.

Under the current circumstances, Prince Prius is undoubtedly going back to inherit the throne as quickly as possible, and Sand Iron City is the only way for him to go back to Plains, and it happens that he also needs to make some supplies in Sand Iron City.His idea was to ask Chef for two good horses at the dinner table, and then leave after eating. Their horses were almost exhausted on the way back to Shatiecheng, and they were really not suitable for a long journey.

It's just that the food he ate was a bit strange, not only the cooking method was strange, but the taste was also strange, but it was incomparably delicious.Prius left thinking of the meals he had in a certain village, and then remembered that he asked the cook to come to Shatie first, and these meals were probably prepared by the cook.

Now that he remembered, Price asked Zou Kai by the way when he asked for a horse, and Chef said that Zou Kai was with him, so he asked someone to call him over.

But Prince Prius said, "No need, tell him to follow him later."

Chef responded respectfully, and immediately called his servants to call Zou Kai to prepare.

When the servant came, Zou Kai was teasing the cat in the kitchen. Today, when he was cooking, the white cat came again, and Zou Kai gave it something to eat as usual.The white cat was ready to leave after eating. Zou Kai immediately took out his specially roasted dried fish and shook it in front of the white cat. The glamorous and noble cat finally stopped its dignified steps, and its ice blue eyes looked closely at the white cat. Zou Kai... the small dried fish in his hand.

"Come on, eat the dried fish." Zou Kai waved the dried fish in front of the white cat's eyes, then raised his hand, and was in a position where the white cat would never be able to eat the dried fish without jumping up.

The white cat looked at the small dried fish in Zou Kai's hand, and then at Zou Kai. It seemed to hesitate, neither jumped up to eat the dried fish, nor left.

Of course, it is also possible that it is thinking in its heart: Stupid people on earth, why don't you let me put down the dried fish!

Thinking of this, Zou Kai smiled unconsciously. He lowered his hand and handed the dried fish to the white cat's mouth. The white cat lowered its head and licked a piece of dried fish, and ate it in Zou Kai's palm. Lick Zou Kai's finger.

Seeing that the white cat ate the dried fish, Zou Kai was overjoyed, and he took out another small dried fish. This time, instead of feeding the cat directly, he stepped back a little, and led the white cat to eat it.

Sure enough, the white cat ran over to eat, Zou Kai took out another small dried fish, stepped back a little more, and led the white cat to come over to eat, the white cat glanced at him, just when Zou Kai thought the white cat would come...it In three or two steps, he jumped out of the kitchen door and left.

Zou Kai was taken aback.

This script is wrong!The promised white cat was attracted by his small fish, and then easily led to the corner and caught by him?

That's right, Zou Kai is extremely confident in his cooking skills. He believes that he can go to Plains with the prince with this meal, and the cat has eaten so many free meals from him. Wouldn't it be a waste of him if he didn't take it away when he left? Long-term goodness and suffering?

However, this cat is too ungrateful. It doesn't remember who fed it these few days. method.Who would have thought that this cat was not only ungrateful but also idle and ascetic, it was a waste of his painstaking efforts to stop eating after two mouthfuls of dried fish.

Since the plan to lure the big white cat with dried fish failed, and the servants had come to call him, he had to call on Maier to pack up his things and prepare to leave.

After they finished packing, what Zou Kai saw was not the prince, but a guard next to the prince. The guard asked the two of them, "Can you ride a horse?"

Zou Kai and Mel Qiqi shook their heads.

The guard immediately gave them a bag of gold coins, and said with a serious expression: "This is the travel expenses given to you by the prince. His Royal Highness needs to go back to Plains now. If you don't know how to ride a horse, you won't be able to keep up. You can hire a carriage to go to Plains by yourself. "

At this time, Zou Kai also heard that what the guard said was not a request, but an order at all, and there was no room for negotiation at all.But let him go by himself, that is, he can walk slowly, and he just has the idea of ​​seeing the scenery of the world along the way, so he has no objection at all.

After lunch, the prince and his party set off. Zou Kai packed up his things and didn't want to stay any longer. He and Maier boarded a delivery carriage and set off for Wangcheng.

The carriage was not fast, because the road to Plains was not bumpy, which made Zou Kai feel free to enjoy the scenery along the way.

After walking for half a day, there are some gentle hills on the road. There are a lot of things planted on these hills, and the pieces are very neat. In addition, the sunshine outside the city is so clean that there is no dust, it is a rural pastoral scenery.

Zou Kai had never seen such a large area of ​​fields in Woliji. Looking along the way, he only felt that the farmers here seemed to be doing well, and every farmer he met was leisurely and at ease.

The sky was high and the clouds were clear, the sun was mild, and the unchanging rural scenery on the road made Zou Kai drowsy, so he followed his own thoughts and fell asleep leaning on the cargo.When he woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw the sky full of stars. It was already dark, and the air was filled with the humidity of night. There was a night wind blowing. The fire lights up.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the fire, and saw that Maier and the delivery man built a fire on the side of the road, set a pot on the fire, and boiled a pot of water in the pot.

Zou Kai looked around and found that the truck was parked beside the main road, and there was not a single family around, but they were not the only ones who were burning.

There was more than one truck parked on the side of the road, and there were seventeen or eight cars lined up in a row. There were also several piles of fire on the side of the road. Presumably this was the default resting point for the shopkeepers.

Zou Kai happened to be hungry, so he jumped out of the car to see what Maier and the shopkeeper were cooking.

Maier and the shopkeeper probably had a dispute. The shopkeeper was arguing with Maier. When he saw Zou Kai approaching, he hurriedly said, "Kai, your brother is very stubborn. You won't let me add honey to the water. Please persuade him. I've been running for decades, so it's okay to eat like this, but this kid wants to fight with me!"

"Add honey?" Zou Kai was curious, "What is this for?"

"He wants to boil potatoes." Mel said angrily, "I told him it tastes better with salt, but he wouldn't believe it!"

Zou Kai burst out laughing suddenly, is this a sweet and salty dispute in another world?

"Salt tastes better." Zou Kai said.

In fact, he is neither a sweet party nor a salty party. He is a sweet and salty eater. As long as it tastes good, adding sugar and salt is not a problem at all.Just boiled potatoes with honey?what is that?Please don't make trouble!

The shopkeeper suddenly became unhappy: "You are not happy to give you good food! Well, I will put salt."

"It doesn't matter if the honey is good or not, it just doesn't taste good!" Maier argued.

"You don't eat good things, I will never bring out good things again." The shopkeeper's brain circuit didn't keep up with Maier at all.

Zou Kai was listening to them arguing, and silently went to the small river beside the road to wash the dishes, found out the flour, added water and salt to dilute it, and boiled it into boiling water with a spoon.

Seeing Zou Kai's actions, the salesman gave up arguing with Maier, and turned to look at Zou Kai with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"

"Being McChicken." Zou Kai replied, keeping his hands on.

The water and flour that are so thin that they can flow are put into the water, and when they are scalded by hot water, they become balls of flour, and the shape of the flour balls is irregular.Because of the dry-wet relationship of the adjusted flour, when scooping it down with a spoon, it will generally fall into the water, and half of it will stick to the spoon.With every spoonful, there is a life-and-death separation between the spoon and the dough.

And because of this life-and-death relationship, half of the dough boiled in water is round, and the other half is thin and irregular, just like the crown of a rooster, and hence the name Mai Jigong.Of course, it also has a popular name: gray dough.

"No potatoes?" It was Mel who asked.

"Potato has a problem. It says it is tasteless and you have to add salt and sugar to it. It went on strike and ran away from home." Zou Kai nonsense.

Maier wisely changed the subject and asked Zou Kai, "How do you eat this?"

"Put it in your mouth and eat." In a few words, Zou Kai had put all the flour into the pot. He stirred it with a spoon, and the dough in the water also floated. The water in the pot was not cloudy. The white dough is pretty nice.

The shopkeeper who watched for a long time finally choked out a comment: "You have a lot of ideas."

"I have too many ideas." Zou Kai said with a smile.

Zou Kai stirred the pot, then stood up and found a bowl, then quickly found salt, garlic, chili sauce and vinegar from the shopkeeper's truck, and made a bowl of condiments.

The salesman stared: "You are even more familiar with these things than I am?"

"Don't be nervous, I'll know when I smell it." Zou Kai said, and began to scoop water into the bowl.

It is said to be a bowl, but it is actually a sunken wooden dish. After scooping up a little water, the dish will almost overflow.

Zou Kai took out a fork and poked the "McChicken" in the water, and when he poked it all the way, it was done.He scooped the "McChicken" into the plate one by one and handed them to the shopkeeper and Maier: "Eat."

Maier took it and started eating, and the shopkeeper complained: "You have to eat so seriously when you go out, you are really thoughtful."

"Don't treat yourself badly when you are away from home." Zou Kai said, picking up a piece of wheat chicken with a fork, suddenly a bird flew out from nowhere, flew past him, picked up the dough in his hand and immediately flew away.

The three of them looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost, and after a while, the shopkeeper first, and then Maier, the two laughed out loud one after another, and the laughter spread in the silent night, dispelling some of the dark haze.

Zou Kai stared at the empty fork, was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said dryly, "It seems that the birds outside are a bit vicious."
