Chapter 218
When Wei Zhi asked what was missing, Mo Yan was convinced, but seeing that Wei Zhi was a child, he didn't say anything, and patiently said: "There are still pumpkins, cows, sheep, and peanuts."
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "That's right, that's right, I almost forgot the main dishes."
Almost?The corner of Mo Yan's mouth twitched. You obviously forgot all about it. He asked, "You only wrote about pumpkins in Qingyun Academy. What do you want to do with pumpkins? Pumpkin porridge?"
Wei Zhi said, "No, it's pumpkin pie."
"Pumpkin pie?" Mo Yan said, "I've never heard of it."
Wei Zhi said: "Haven't heard of it? No way?"
Mo Yan said: "I really haven't heard of it, how did you do it?"
"Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and steam it until cooked, then add glutinous rice, sugar, oil..."
Wei Zhi talked about how to make pumpkin cakes, Mo Yan said: "Then you still need to buy Jiangmi?"
Hearing this, Wei Zhi said, "Oh, yes."
Sweat dripped from the back of Mo Yan's head, and he really didn't know what to say.
When the two arrived at the rice shop, Wei Zhi looked around and said, "There's no Jiangmi here?"
Mo Yan took a look, the rice shop is quite big, there should be no lack of it, Wei Zhi said: "The shopkeeper?"
Mipu Xiaoer came over, looked at Wei Zhi, finally looked at Mo Yan, and said, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Wei Zhi said, "Do you have Jiangmi here?"
Mipu Xiaoer said: "Yes."
Wei Zhi asked, "Where is it?"
The waiter at Mipu said: "Over here."
Xiao Er took Wei Zhi and Mo Yan to the corner of the rice shop, where there was a wooden box, Xiao Er opened the wooden box, Wei Zhi and Mo Yan saw the Jiangmi inside, "This is Jiangmi."
Wei Zhi picked up some and looked at them. It was indeed Jiang Mi, but it was obviously Chen Mi.
Xiao Er smiled and asked, "How much do you want?"
Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "No need, let's take a look."
Xiao Er didn't say anything, and answered, and closed the wooden box. Wei Zhi and Mo Yan left the rice shop, and Mo Yan asked, "Why don't you buy it?"
Wei Zhi said: "The glutinous rice is old, no."
Mo Yan was surprised and said: "You can see this?"
He didn't see it.
Wei Zhidao: "You are so concerned about the ingredients, you should pay more attention to these ordinary ingredients."
That Jiangmi doesn't look bright, nor does it have the fragrance of Jiangmi, so it must be Chen's.
Mo Yan said: "Speaking of which, I really didn't pay attention to these main ingredients."
Wei Zhi said: "Don't study the recipes first, look at the ingredients first."
Mo Yan didn't say anything, Wei Zhi and he continued to walk forward, before reaching the next rice shop, Wei Zhi didn't leave again, Mo Yan turned to look at him, and saw Wei Zhi standing in front of a small stall, went over, Seeing that green beans were sold there, after thinking about it, this ingredient was not included in the dinner, so he said, "Do you want to buy this?"
And the green beans were still sun-dried.
Wei Zhi said: "Buy and make some mung bean cake."
"Mung bean cake?" Mo Yan said, "There are bean cakes sold in this market."
Wei Zhi said: "I am different from them."
Mo Yan didn't say anything.
Wei Zhi bought mung beans and continued walking, saw a shop selling sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and walked in again, Mo Yan followed helplessly: "You will be late going back like this."
Wei Zhi didn't care and said: "Anyway, it's just the two of us, they have to wait all night."
Mo Yan was speechless, he really didn't know where he got the confidence, he was supposed to come to apprentice, and he was so arrogant.
"Do you like sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Wei Zhi asked him.
Mo Yan said: "I don't like sweets."
Wei Zhi didn't really want to ask him, so he said, "I'm telling you, this pastry is best eaten while it's hot, Xiao Er, let me have an osmanthus cake!"
"okay!"
Wei Zhi took a seat in front of the table and said, "Once the pastry is cooled, it will lose its taste."
Mo Yan listened to Wei Zhi's words, and then asked, "Do you know how many kinds of cakes there are in the world?"
Wei Zhidao: "I don't know. There are countless kinds of pastries in the world. Each place has its own characteristics. I said you have never heard of pumpkin cake. This is a snack from other places."
"Where's the dim sum?" Mo Yan asked.
Wei Zhi paused for a moment, er, how should I say this, Wei Zhi thought about it, and said: "The ones in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Jiangnan? In your country of Yan?"
"Yes." Wei Zhi nodded.
Mo Yan thoughtfully said: "I've never heard of it, what kind of food does your country of Yan have?"
Wei Zhi said: "That's too much."
Mo Yan said: "Anyway, it's nothing, you can tell me."
Wei Zhi said: "Then I will continue to talk about snacks."
Mo Yan frowned, but didn't say anything, ready to listen, Wei Zhi paused, then subtle, what?What's wrong?This is wrong, I seem to have become a real cook?
Wei Zhi pondered for a while, Mo Yan said: "Wei Zhi?"
"Oh? It's okay, let's talk about horseshoe cake." After speaking, Wei Zhi was hungry and wanted to eat osmanthus cake and horseshoe cake.
"Horseshoe cake?" Mo Yan listened seriously.
Wei Zhi said: "That's right."
Mo Yan said: "Horseshoe?"
Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "No, it's water chestnuts, made of water chestnuts."
Mo Yan nodded and understood: "That's right, water chestnuts are also called horseshoes."
Wei Zhi said: "There is another story about this horseshoe cake, but I won't tell it. Let's talk about the recipe of the horseshoe cake."
"Your sweet-scented osmanthus cake!" Xiao Er came at this time, and brought out freshly baked sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Wei Zhi stopped talking about horseshoe cake and started to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Mo Yan said: "How to make horseshoe cake?"
Wei Zhi asked him to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said, "Let's talk after eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. This dessert must be eaten while it's hot."
Mo Yan tasted a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was moderately sweet, surprisingly not bad.
After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the two left the shop and continued to buy glutinous rice. Mo Yan asked, "Apart from pastries, where are the other dishes?"
Wei Zhi said: "I still have a lot of desserts, jujube paste cake, mille-layer oil cake, cold cake, taro cake, kidney bean cake, crystal osmanthus cake, water chestnut cake, hair cake, mint cake and donkey rolling, Have you heard of these?"
Mo Yan frowned and said, "I've heard of the kidney bean cake."
Wei Zhi started talking about desserts again, and Mo Yan continued to ask after listening, "What about other dishes?"
"There are more other dishes." Wei Zhi stopped talking, looked at the tofu on the wooden board next to him, and said, "For example, this tofu can be made into Sichuan cuisine mapo tofu."
"What is Sichuan cuisine?" Mo Yan asked.
Wei Zhi said: "It's a long story, I'll tell you directly."
Mo Yan listened very seriously, and seemed to want to find a piece of paper to write it down, but Wei Zhi spoke quickly, and while speaking, the two of them went to the next rice shop. Do you have any Jiangmi here?"
"Yes!" Xiao Er came over and took Wei Zhi and Mo Yan to see Jiangmi.
Wei Zhi looked at the Jiangmi, nodded, and asked Xiaoer to hold two catties, Mo Yan said: "Isn't this Chen's?"
"Ah."
Mo Yan looked at Wei Zhi, he felt that Wei Zhi didn't look like a child at all, the most obvious thing was that he spoke and behaved well-informed.
After buying glutinous rice, the two went to buy pumpkins. After walking for a while, they didn't see any pumpkins. It's summer time, and it's hard to buy old pumpkins. Mo Yan said, "Can't you use green pumpkins for pumpkin cakes?"
Wei Zhi said: "Green pumpkins are not acceptable."
Mo Yan said: "There are only green pumpkins in this market."
Wei Zhi said, "Look for it again."
Mo Yan said: "Can you cook vinegar fish?"
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."
Mo Yan stopped to buy fish, Wei Zhi said, "Do you want to make vinegar fish?"
"Ah."
Wei Zhi didn't say anything. Anyway, he didn't give the money himself. He looked through the whole market and couldn't find the old pumpkin. Mo Yan said, "I won't make pumpkin cakes anymore."
"No." Wei Zhi said, "I bought all the glutinous rice, go to another market."
Mo Yan looked at the sky, the sun had already set to the west, but he also wanted to go to the market to see more, so he didn't say anything, the two went to another market, just arrived at another market, Wei Zhi and Mo Yan saw pumpkin sellers, some young and some old, Wei Zhi weighed a small one, and threw it to Xiao Er, Mo Yan paid the money, put the pumpkins in the bamboo basket, and the two continued to go to the market. to the city.
There are also peanuts, cattle and sheep that have not been bought.
These were easy to find, and they were all bought in a short time. Mo Yan said, "Wei Zhi, it's getting late."
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Let's go."
Any later the city gates should be closed.
The two left the city gate and walked towards Qingyun Mountain.
Qingyun Academy.
Wei Zhi and Mo Yan arrived at the kitchen, put down the bamboo baskets, and began to sort out the ingredients. Mo Yan gave the pumpkin to Wei Zhi, and Wei Zhi took it and put it aside. Then he took out the peanuts. The peanuts were in shells. Wei Zhi poured in a In the basket, he said: "I'll shell the peanuts first and grind out the peanut butter."
Mo Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll deal with the fish."
Wei Zhi removed the shells from the peanuts and started to fry the peanuts on a low heat. When the peanuts were cooked, Wei Zhi shoveled the peanuts into the basket, then removed the skins of the peanuts, and began to grind the peanuts with a small stone mill. Then add the oil, and the peanut butter is ready. Wei Zhi put the peanut butter aside, Mo Yan said: "Can you taste it?"
Wei Zhi said: "Yes."
On the way, Mo Yan had already asked what peanut butter was, so he tasted a spoonful and nodded.
Wei Zhi started to steam the pumpkin.
Mo Yan had already prepared the fish, so he came to watch Wei Zhi steam the pumpkin.
Wei Zhi cut up the pumpkin, peeled and removed the seeds, then put it in the pot to steam, let the inkstone watch the fire, Wei Zhi soaked the mung beans in the wooden barrel, and then went to cut the radish. When the pumpkin was steamed, Wei Zhi put the pumpkin Put it into a wooden bucket, put in sugar and mud, and was about to put in the rice, when suddenly he froze and said, "The rice hasn't been ground yet."
Mo Yan said: "I have already ground it."
He said, and handed it to Wei Zhi.
Wei Zhi said, "Thank you."
Mo Yan watched from the side, Wei Zhi reunited the reconciled pumpkin, patted it into cakes, and then put it aside.
"Aren't you going to blow it up now?"
Wei Zhi said, "Wait until the dishes are done before frying."
Mo Yan hummed, and said, "You can do the vinegar fish."
Wei Zhi said, "Why don't you do it?"
Mo Yan said: "I want to see if the vinegar fish you cook is different from mine."
Wei Zhi nodded, the dinner was ready, someone came and took it away, Wei Zhi kept two copies, Mo Yan and Wei Zhi were eating in the yard, Yan Tai ran over from nowhere, Wei Zhi threw it a piece of pumpkin Cake, it ate half and then threw it away, Wei Zhi frowned, this dog-like thing is still picky eater? !
Pumpkin pie is so delicious!
Just when Wei Zhi was about to beat it, a hawkmoth suddenly walked into Wei Zhi's sight. The hawkmoth was right next to Wei Zhi's bowl. Wei Zhi had no expression on his face and killed the hawkmoth with his palm. The corner of Mo Yan's mouth twitched.
The next day.
Wei Zhi got up early to prepare breakfast. The mung beans were soaked and steamed in a pot, ready to make mung bean cakes.
After preparing breakfast, the young gentleman came. When he saw Wei Zhi, he said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
Wei Zhi said: "It's not hard."
The young gentleman said: "The cook is coming back, you don't need to prepare lunch."
Wei Zhi understood, well, this gentleman is here to chase someone away.
Fine.
Two days have passed since we talked about it.
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Mr. Young gave Wei Zhi the money, Wei Zhi accepted it, and then he took the inkstone and prepared to leave.
The two disciples from Qingyun Academy came over and looked at Wei Zhi and said, "Are you leaving?"
Wei Zhi nodded: "Yeah."
The two were severely beaten and walked with a limp.
"I was really sorry before." The two said.
Wei Zhi didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.
"If there's anything we can do to help, you must ask," they said.
Wei Zhi said: "How can you help?"
The two said: "I don't know."
Wei Zhi was expressionless, and then said: "I don't want to leave Qingyun Academy, can you help?"
When the two heard this, they stopped talking.
This busy, they really can't help!They are just ordinary Qingyun Academy disciples!
Thinking of this, the two said: "By the way, there is someone who has a solution."
Wei Zhi asked, "Who?"
The two said, "Young Master!"
"Yes! One word from the young master! You can stay!"
They are just ordinary disciples of Qingyun Academy, but not the young master. The young master is the grandson of Mr. Mo. He is the young master of Qingyun Academy and the young master of the Mo family.
After hearing this, Wei Zhi frowned, thinking that it might be possible to try.
The two continued: "This Qingyun Academy belongs to the Mo family. The young master is the young master of the Mo family. Aren't you a friend of the young master? As long as you go and tell the young master, you can definitely stay."
Wei Zhi said: "Is the inkstone useful for talking?"
This is the most important thing, even if Mo Yan is the young master of the Mo family and the young master of Qingyun Academy, but if talking is useless, then forget it.
The two nodded and said: "Young Master's words will definitely work!"
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "Yes."
So Wei Zhi took the inkstone to look for Moyan. Moyan was reading in his yard, and was watched by the Mo family. When he saw Wei Zhi coming, he put down the scroll. Wei Zhi put the inkstone aside and walked over.
Mo Yan said: "Wei Zhi? Why are you here?"
The courtyard of this ink inkstone is really big, and there is no shortage of mountains, rivers, flowers and plants.
Wei Zhi said: "I have something to do."
Mo Yan said: "You say."
The Mo family next to him said: "Young master."
Mo Yan frowned and said, "You all step back."
The Mo family hesitated for a moment, but withdrew.
Wei Zhidao: "That's it, I'm leaving Qingyun Academy today."
Hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Leave today?"
Seeing that he didn't know, Wei Zhi nodded and said: "When I came, the gentleman said it was two days, and two days have passed, the cook of Qingyun Academy is coming back, and the husband has given money, of course I have to go .”
Mo Yan felt sad after hearing this, and he still had a lot of ingredients to ask Wei Zhi, "Where are you going after you leave Qingyun Academy? Go back to Yan Kingdom?"
Wei Zhi shook his head and said, "I won't go back to Yan."
Mo Yan said: "You still want to apprentice?"
Wei Zhi nodded and said, "That's right."
Mo Yan said: "But Mr. Mo won't accept disciples anymore."
Wei Zhi said earnestly: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, I must be a teacher."
