Chapter 21: Ginseng Sweet Potato Wild Yam
Chapter 21 Ginseng Sweet Potato Wild Yam
Things got a little more complicated.
No, it is quite complicated!
Xu Guangling didn't expect that the dream the day before yesterday was just a beginning, and yesterday's dream was obviously a continuation. Then, after that, will there be a third or fourth dream?
Sitting on the bed, Xu Guangling thought about the content of these two dreams.
In the first dream, he met potatoes, tofu, and mushrooms. It was not a simple understanding, but a knowledge based on the identity of a chef. He knew in which soil environment potatoes grow best, and how good potatoes would be after they were unearthed. Bad identification, know the whole process from soybean to tofu...
And in fact more than just knowing? He seems to have been an old farmer who has been planting potatoes for decades, or a tofu maker who has been producing tofu for decades...
But the character in the dream, the character who is doing the "Nine-Pin White Jade Soup", is blurry, even the cooking scene is blurry, or in fact they don't exist in themselves, the content of the dream is Potatoes, tofu, mushrooms, and "Nine-Pin Baiyu Soup".
And the dream last night was quite different.
In the dream, the person who made the vermicelli, vaguely seemed to be an old man, but the appearance, clothes, voice, etc. of the old man were all vague.
So how did he judge that this was an old man? From the movement, many slow and meticulous movements, Xu Guangling instinctively or intuitively thinks that the person doing these things is an old man, but in fact, is that really an old man? Even, is that really a person doing those actions?
Xu Guangling is not sure.
But what he can be sure of is that the dream of the day before yesterday and the dream of yesterday show those things. If it is a human, let’s think so, then the person who appeared in these two dreams is not the same person!
Because the rhythm of their actions is different!
As a music practitioner, well, he has not yet practiced, Xu Guangling instinctively learned the answer he wanted from this angle.
Then his previous conjecture about the blue light is completely untenable!
He originally thought it was a soul or consciousness belonging to the chef, but this second dream easily overturned his previous assumption. —Well, now it’s time to talk about what this second dream was about.
This is still a dream about cooking, no, it's not cooking, it's food, specifically, the making of vermicelli, which is what he is thinking about during the day.
The similarities between the two dreams before and after are related to food.
In yesterday's dream, he was witnessing the creation of vermicelli from scratch, or the making of vermicelli from beginning to end.
First is the selection of materials, ginseng, sweet potato, yam.
Yes, these three! It's not just sweet potatoes, but more ginseng and yam, and these three are basically side by side, not complementary.
Ginseng is the radish brand ginseng grown by ginseng farmers, not the so-called forest ginseng, let alone wild ginseng. .
It's not the usual so-called iron bar yams that are neatly stacked together, but the ones that look all kinds of different, odd shapes, and zigzags. Some are not even long, but chicken feet, horseshoes, etc. , it is absolutely right to use a "weird shape" to describe it.
Here are three materials.
The next step is to make.
Ginseng is placed in a steamer, steamed like steamed buns, and the juice is taken.
Sweet potato is like a normal vermicelli, beat, filter, remove the **** to get the powder.
Yam is all.
Then ginseng juice, sweet potato powder, and yam puree are mixed together according to the corresponding proportions as raw materials to make vermicelli. The process is not complicated.
Xu Guangling must say, he has gained insight once again!
He knew there were potato vermicelli and sweet potato vermicelli, he knew it before, but he never knew that ginseng could be added to the vermicelli! Although just take the ginseng juice night.
Also, steaming ginseng like steamed buns in the dream also made him feel a little dizzy thinking about it now, so many ginseng really piled into the steamer like radishes. , put a steaming basket first, after steaming, put a new basket on the pot, and the first basket is placed on the new basket, and then continue to accumulate in this way until the ninth steamer.
After steaming again, it can be removed one by one from top to bottom.
The steamed ginseng is regarded as "dregs" and can be thrown away directly, and only the juice from the steamed pot is taken. —Although I know that garden ginseng is ginseng grown by ginseng farmers in vegetable gardens and fields, it has a short age and poor effect, and is basically equivalent to radish, but such a method of preparation, to be honest, Xu Guangling did feel a little drunk.
The production of sweet potato flour is quite satisfactory, there is nothing to say, and Xu Guangling was not surprised.
Then there is the yam.
In that shape, there are hardly two yam that look the same, is it the so-called wild yam?
At the same time, Xu Guangling knew the function or effect of these three materials and why they were mixed together to make vermicelli, through the dream last night. - This doesn't seem like a chef's ability!
This is more like a Chinese herbalist than a chef.
Just, did the Chinese pharmacist use the herbs to make vermicelli? It's a bit wild.
Xu Guangling was a little confused, thinking about this strange ginseng and sweet potato yam vermicelli for a while, and thinking about this strange dream itself for a while. What happened to that mutation? Or, is that still a person's soul, but this person is both a cook and a Chinese herbalist?
In other words, this person is a chef himself, but when he came into contact with health medicated diet or something, he turned to the development of this kind of "medicine and food" fusion ingredients?
As for the different rhythms, just because it is a person's performance at different times?
After thinking about it for a long time, there is still no answer. Xu Guangling shook his head, put all this aside for a while, then jumped out of bed, got out of bed, washed, went out, and went straight to the park.
Although I didn't make an appointment with Mr. Zhang yesterday, and he didn't have the obligation to report to Mr. Zhang, to put it bluntly, Mr. Mr. Zhang just practiced Tai Chi for him, not even "teaching". In this matter, if Xu Guangling admits it, then it is a human favor; if he does not admit it, then it really is not! And even if you admit it, it's not a big favor. But Xu Guangling still went to report.
In doing so, he will not be wronged, and he will be able to respond to the kindness of others a little.
This is why Xu Guangling did this. — The best of both worlds, why not do it?
used to be in the dark, or in the cold, so in fact, Xu Guangling was very sensitive to every kindness outside. Once, because of the coldness and darkness, he rejected many good intentions, but now, he will try and be as open as possible.
For example, Mr. Zhang Lao, judging from his performance yesterday, he is still a very good person, and he has the style of an elder. Then Xu Guangling really regarded him as an elder and got along with him in the form of an elder and a younger generation, so he might as well think about it.
Of course, this is really just a little thing.
It is unknown whether there will be further involvement between the two. —Perhaps just like many travelers in the past, after seeing each other at first sight, they only remain in memory, and then they become pure strangers.
