Chapter 1310 (2/2)
The door of the ”Hua La” box opened, and three girls in Republican student clothes came in, each carrying a tray, and then walked into the box.
”This is Zunyi black tea for three. Please taste it slowly.” The three girls put a pot of soaked teapot and teacup on the long table for the three in turn, and then said.
”Thank you.” The three whispered their thanks, and then the girls who poured the tea left the box.
Now the box was quiet again.
”Taste tea first. Don't you feel dry after talking so much? Try the tea here.” Zhou Shijie first picked up the tea cup.
”OK, let's see how the tea you introduced is, but it's very good.” When talking, Colin looked at Yuanzhou.
Obviously, Colin now appreciates Yuanzhou very much, especially after reading Yuanzhou's neat and detailed notebook with his own ideas.
”Of course, I don't dare to say. I've always had a good eye.” Zhou Shijie complacent way.
”Uncle Zhou is right.” Yuanzhou's dry response road.
”Hahaha, you're selling melons and boasting.” Colin took a sip of tea, relaxed his face and smiled.
Yuan Zhou took a sip and didn't open his mouth.
Colin took the initiative to say, ”since you call him uncle Zhou, I'll ask you to call me uncle Ke, so that you don't know what to call.”
”OK, uncle Ke.” Yuan Zhou nodded.
”Don't move your mind.” Zhou Shijie warned.
”No.” Colin looked contemptuously at Zhou Shijie, then looked directly at Yuan Zhou and began to talk to Yuan Zhou.
”I think you said above that you think the current bad pepper is different from that in ancient times. The previous bad pepper is more in line with the deployment of bad spicy taste in Guizhou cuisine, isn't it?” Colin road.
”Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded.
”Why do you say that?” Colin road.
”Your province is located on the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau. It has a special geographical climate. There are many and high mountains, and the mountains are rich in hundreds of traditional Chinese medicine, hundreds of natural wild edible plants and hundreds of wild animals. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, it is a rich collection of rare and exotic animals based on the food culture of your province. Guizhou cuisine is rich in taste, bad and spicy, which is one of them.” Yuanzhou said.
”Well, that's true. Our Guizhou cuisine has many tastes. We have integrated many cuisines and developed into what it is now.” Colin nodded.
”Although there are many mountains and abundant products in your province, there are two things that have not been produced since ancient times: salt and cotton.” Yuanzhou road.
Hearing this, Colin raised his eyebrows and looked more seriously at Yuanzhou.
”Let's not talk about the origin and history of pepper. Just say that bad pepper needs to be made with fresh Dangwu Township red pepper with thick meat and not too spicy from August to September every year. The pepper there makes bad spicy.” Yuanzhou said wisely.
”Yes, indeed.” Colin nodded.
Yuan Zhou then said, ”but your province does not produce salt, but the bad pepper made today will add a lot of salt to the pepper, one for seasoning and the other for preventing corruption. These two points are contrary to the previous practice of bad pepper.”
Colin raised his eyebrows and looked forward to the follow-up.
”I checked the history of your province, the history of Yunnan Province and the history of salt administration in Sichuan Province. I found that most of the salt in your province came from well salt and rock salt in Sichuan Province, and of course a small part came from rock salt in Yunnan Province.” Yuanzhou road.
”In Guizhou Province, where there is less salt, the Miao people in Southeast Guizhou replace salt with acid. In fact, bad spicy is mainly sour and spicy.” Yuan Zhou said definitely.
”So you've recovered your old bad pepper?” Colin road?
”Yes, the step is at the end of the notebook. Put the slightly acidic water into it, and then use it to cook fresh pepper. Do not add a little salt to balance the sour water and pepper.” Yuan Zhou nodded.
