Chapter 70 Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
Accompanied by the Longmen formation and the sound of trains being heard by Master Xu and his tablemates, Jinhuan fell asleep and soon arrived at Jincheng Railway Station.
Grandpa Xu and Jinhuan returned to Kuanzhai Hutong as usual. Before they reached the door of their house, a fresh and fragrant fragrance hit their faces.
This fragrance immediately cheered up Jinhuan, who had just been sluggish after squeezing into the bus.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good!" Jin Huan twitched the tip of her nose.
Grandpa Xu said cheerfully: "You'll find out when you get home!"
When Jin Huan opened the door and entered the yard, he saw the grapefruit tree in full bloom.
White petals wrap around yellow stamens, hanging in clusters among the thick green grapefruit leaves. Swarms of bees are busy collecting nectar in the floral-scented yard.
"No wonder it smells so good, it turns out the grapefruit tree is in bloom!" Jin Huan happily told Grandpa Xu, "Although the grapefruit doesn't taste good, the flowers are still pretty!"
"What's the use of flowers blooming well? It's all useless if the fruit doesn't taste good!" Grandpa Xu was very happy to be stung by a bee, so he quickly grabbed her, "Don't go under the tree, you will be stung by bees!"
Grandpa Xu brought Jinhuan closer to the backyard, and taking advantage of the heat of the sun, he took out all the bedding from the cabinet and exposed them to the outside of the door.
Then he left it to himself to play, while he started cleaning without stopping.
Jinhuan wandered around the yard and found a broken wooden box in the corner, where bees had built a nest and made their home.
This means there is honey to eat!
She excitedly ran to the side room in the backyard to offer her treasure to Grandpa Xu, "Grandpa, there are bees occupying a wooden box in the yard to build a nest! We have honey to eat!"
"You little greedy kid, don't touch me! I'll cut the honey for you when I come back from the meal." Grandpa Xu warned Jin Huan.
Jin Huan could only nod. Out of boredom, she took out a few books from the space and placed them on the stone table in the yard. They seemed to be idle anyway.
After Grandpa Xu finally cleaned up, he took Jin Huan to Lang Cheng's house.
Lang Cheng opened the door and saw Grandpa Xu, his eyes immediately turned into slits as he smiled, "Mr. Xu, what brought you here? And our little Jinhuan is here too?"
"Lang Cheng, why are you fatter than last year? It seems that the cook's life is a happy one!" Master Xu joked.
Jin Huan immediately greeted him, "Hello, Grandpa Lang, what delicious food did you cook today? I can smell it!"
"It's better to come early than to be lucky. It's a blessing for us, little ones!" Lang Cheng led his grandfather and grandson to sit down and pour tea.
There was an indescribable aroma floating in the yard, which made Jinhuan swallow two mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously, "Grandpa Lang, tell me what delicious food you made for lunch today!"
Lang Cheng pushed Donkey Roller's plate in front of Jin Huan, "Don't worry, we have to wait twenty minutes for the good food to be served. Why don't you have a snack first?"
Jin Huan glanced at Donkey Rolling and shook his head firmly, "That's not possible, I have to keep my stomach open for good food!"
Smelling the fragrance in the air, it must be a rare dish. Now to eat snacks? It will disturb the taste and occupy the stomach.
She's not stupid!
Lang Cheng laughed loudly after hearing this: "Mr. Xu, this kid is exactly like you. He knows what he's doing at first glance!"
"She has always had a sweet mouth since she was little, and her tongue and nose are very sharp. It's not easy to coax her!" Grandpa Xu touched Jin Huan's head.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, "Dad! Is the food good?"
It turned out to be Lang Weiguo. He seemed to be walking in a hurry, and his fat face was covered with beads of sweat.
When he saw Grandpa Xu's grandson, he took a breath and immediately greeted him, "Hey! Mr. Xu and his eldest niece are here too? Your grandson and grandpa are really blessed people!"
"Uncle Lang is even more blessed with good food. Grandpa Lang cooks for us every day!" Jin Huan said with a smile.
Lang Cheng snorted, "Look at how tired you are! You're worthless! You won't get a share of the food today, so go back to the workplace and eat in the cafeteria!"
"Don't bother, Dad! Why don't you give me some soup? I hurried back for today's food!" Lang Weiguo quickly stepped forward with a playful smile and gave Lang Cheng a shoulder and a slap on the back, looking like a dog-legger.
Lang Cheng pulled his hand away and said, "Okay, okay, Ma Liu'er, go aside, I'm going to serve the food!"
Lang Weiguo quickly followed Lang Cheng and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Jin Huan felt that the fragrance in the air became more and more intense from far to near, and saw Lang Cheng tremblingly coming in holding a wine jar.
Behind him, Lang Weiguo had several dishes placed on the tray, which looked like appetizers.
Lang Cheng carefully uncovered the lotus leaves on the wine jar, and the scent could no longer be concealed. The unique rich meaty aroma of stewed meat hit his face, but he couldn't tell what kind of meat was stewed in it to have such a strong flavor.
fragrant.
Waiting for Lang Weiguo to place the dishes on the tray around the jar one by one: coir raincoat cucumber, mustard oil, ham mixed with bean sprouts, stir-fried bean sprouts with mushrooms, and two large plates of silver rolls and sesame pancakes.
When you see this, you will understand clearly. Isn’t this the side dish of Fujian cuisine Buddha Jumping Over the Wall?
Lang Cheng slowly scooped out soup and vegetables from the jar with very pious movements. He first handed the first bowl to Grandpa Xu, and then enjoyed it.
"This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is so good! I ate it once in Min Province when I was young, and I still remember the smell!" Grandpa Xu took a sip of the soup from his death bowl and said with enjoyment: "You two, please sit down and start eating.
eat!"
Lang Cheng and Lang Weiguo were not polite. They scooped up the soup and sat down to start eating.
When Jinhuan picked up the soup, he saw that the soup was thick brown and looked very mellow. It smelled of meat and a little bit of wine.
When you take a sip of the soup, the aromas of various meats, seafood, delicacies and wine are mixed together, but each taste has its own place, and the layering of aromas is obvious.
Jinhuan also ate the sea cucumber and scallops in the bowl. The texture was soft and tender, but not greasy. After one bite, I wanted to take another bite.
"Grandpa Lang, this soup is really delicious, your skills are amazing!" Jin Huan gave Lang Cheng a thumbs up.
But Lang Cheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just trying to make something for myself. It's far from the authentic Buddha Jumping over the Wall in Min Province!"
Well, the gap between the understanding of delicious food between an average foodie like Jin Huan and a chef who pursues top-notch delicious food is really very different.
When I went to Min Province in my previous life, almost all the better restaurants said that they could make Buddha Jump Over the Wall, and I had a lot of it at Jinhuan. It was far behind the restaurant in Langcheng now.
Lang Weiguo had just finished chewing a piece of hoof tip and said, "Dad, don't you ask too much! It's not easy for me to gather this little material!"
"You still said! If you hadn't opened the lid with your hands this morning, it would definitely taste better than now!" Lang Cheng hit Lang Weiguo on the head with his chopstick.
Lang Weiguo was not embarrassed after being beaten, and took the opportunity to pick up the spoon and scoop another bowl of soup for himself, "I can't blame me. When I came back from going to the toilet and saw something simmering on the kitchen stove, I had to uncover it and take a look!
Otherwise, I will definitely miss the Buddha jumping over the wall today! You will definitely not leave it for me anyway! Hehe..."
Seeing that he didn't put down the spoon after scooping it several times, Lang Cheng grabbed the spoon and said, "You're almost done. If it weren't for Mr. Xu's sake, I wouldn't even give you a bowl today!"
"
"Dad! Did you pick me up on the way to buy groceries?"
"When I was buying winter melons, the farmer tricked (forced) me into giving them to me as a sidekick! You melons will scratch your head, and I won't pick them up!"
