My master’s craftsmanship is just barely enough to be eaten? Isn't Old Man Kong's boasting a bit too much?
“Do you think I’m bragging?” Old Man Kong opened the lid of the pot.
The soup is bright red in color and fragrant. As soon as I saw the pheasant meat in the pot and smelled the aroma, my saliva began to flow out unconsciously.
Old man Kong handed me a pair of chopsticks and said, "Try the taste and compare it with your master's. How do you like it?"
I took the chopsticks and picked them casually. A piece of chicken was stuffed into my mouth. The skin is glutinous and the meat is tender, spicy and fragrant. The taste is simply overwhelming. I can tell my conscience that Master's craftsmanship is indeed far inferior to that of Old Man Kong.
"Delicious! So delicious!"
As a lover, I have always had a rich vocabulary. But at this time, I was so shocked by the delicious taste of roasted pheasant that I couldn't even think of an adjective.
"As expected of a master and a disciple, your master also said the same thing when he ate it for the first time. After that time, he pestered me and begged me to teach him. This dish.”
When Old Man Kong said this, I wanted to learn it. If I can learn this skill and make it for Bai Mengting to eat, I don't believe I can't win her with this delicious food. Even if you can’t take it, it’s still nice to give her a surprise!
"How about you teach me too?" I said.
"I won't teach, you learn by yourself." Old Man Kong took over the words and said: "If you are so fateful, whenever you come to my house, I happen to be doing it again, and you can watch from the side. As for how much you can learn. , then it all depends on your own talent.”
No matter what you study, it all depends on your talent, and cooking is naturally the same. In fact, Master taught me how to cook when he was still alive. It's just that I really don't have any talent in cooking. After learning for a long time, I only learned how to cook egg fried rice. Since Master left, I rarely cook egg fried rice and mostly eat it outside.
“It smells so good!”
Yi Ba, who was originally responsible for setting dishes outside, was attracted by the aroma in the kitchen.
“Have you eaten everything?” Seeing the chopsticks in my hand, Yi Ba snatched them away, quickly picked up a piece of chicken from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth.
"It's delicious! It's so delicious!" Yi Ba gave Old Man Kong a thumbs up and asked, "Can we start the pot now?"
"Almost." Old Man Kong said.
As soon as he heard that it was time to start cooking, Yi Ba quickly opened the cupboard and took out a porcelain basin.
“You can’t use a porcelain pot, you have to use a casserole. Using a casserole can not only keep it warm, but also keep it fresh.” Old Man Kong knows a lot about eating!
To be so particular about food and so good at eating, I wonder what kind of identity Old Man Kong was before? Generally speaking, if you have no money or status, you are not qualified to pay attention to food.
"You two came to me not just for a drink, right?" Old Man Kong asked.
“Brother Chu Yi has calculated that you will have delicious food here today, so we two greedy monkeys naturally came uninvited.” This guy Yi Ba said this nonsense.
"I can count the delicious food here, so your ability is much higher than that of your master!" What Old Man Kong said is indeed correct in theory. .
Looking at physiognomy, you must first see it before you can read it. I haven't seen this yet, so why do you think so? Before I came to this small hut, I didn't even see Old Man Kong. I could tell from thin air that he had delicious food in his house. At this level, let alone my master, even my master's master is probably below me.
"Yi Ba is nonsense, how can I have such ability?" I took the words with a smile and said: "We came to you this time, actually we want to tell you about Bai Chuchu Son.”
"Didn't Master Bai ask you to invite someone? Didn't that person come?" Old Man Kong looked at Yi Ba and asked him.
“It’s not like you don’t know about my uncle, where can I get him?” Yi Ba said.
"Did he ask you to come to me?" Old Man Kong asked.
"You live here anyway, so close! My uncle said that with your ability, Old Man Kong, it would be easy to handle this little thing." Yi Ba praised there. Old man Kong came up.
"Easy?" Old Man Kong filled a large glass of white wine and handed it to Yi Ba, saying: "Although your uncle is not here, the rules between me and him are still there. Who can If you tell a lie, you will be fined three drinks. If your uncle really said that, he is lying and you will be fined. But he is not here, so you have to drink the wine. .”
This cup is worth two or two at least! What Old Man Kong poured was Laobaigan with a temperature of 60 degrees. No matter how much he drank in three cups, he only had 70 to 80 ounces. I know Yi Ba's drinking capacity, he can only drink two or three liang at most.
"It's me who is talking nonsense, not my uncle." Yi Ba said with a smile. He obviously didn't want to punish the three drinks.
"You will be punished even more for your nonsense. For slandering my uncle, the punishment will be doubled and you will be fined six drinks." Old Man Kong said with a serious face.
If you can’t drink three cups, how can you drink six cups? Yi Ba looked at me confused, he was asking me for help.
"You are not allowed to interfere in this matter." Old Man Kong looked at me seriously and said: "Here, you can joke and tell the truth. You don't have to say anything you don't want to say, but lies You are not allowed to say anything. Anyone who tells lies will be punished by drinking wine, whether it is with Uncle Yi Ba or your master."
Don't tell lies, this rule is well established! I sincerely gave Old Man Kong a thumbs up.
"You can only drink the six glasses of wine you won by lying and telling lies. I can't help you." I patted Yi Ba on the shoulder sympathetically and said, "The worst case is that. Get drunk once! After you get drunk, maybe you can do it next time. Get rid of this bad habit.”
“I told a lie, and I accept the punishment, but how many pieces of this chicken have I eaten? Why don’t we eat the chicken first? , and drink the six cups of fine wine?" Yi Ba begged Old Man Kong there.
“No!” Old Man Kong sternly rejected Yi Ba and said, “If I let you eat the chicken and then punish you with six glasses of wine, it would be meaningless. You have to pay the price for telling lies. Today The price you pay is to watch the delicious chicken right in front of you, but you can’t eat it.”
Old man Kong is really cruel, but I like it. The pheasant he cooked was so delicious, but there was only one chicken. Yi Ba was a foodie, and he could eat most of the chicken. If he could be knocked down by six glasses of wine, wouldn't it be just me and Old Man Kong who ate the pheasant meat? In this way, I can eat more!
"Are you gloating?" Old Man Kong asked me coldly.
This old man Kong, is he a human or a god? I just had a small thought that crossed my mind, and he saw through it.
You can’t lie to Old Man Kong. If you lie, you will be fined with alcohol. In terms of drinking capacity, Yi Ba and I are almost on the same level. Whether it's three penalties or six penalties, I have to pour it. Then wouldn’t I have to be like Yi Ba, unable to eat this delicious chicken?
"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "But that thought just passed by for a moment."
"Are you and Yi Ba brothers?" Old Man Kong asked me.
"Yeah!" I said.
"Brother, you can't eat meat, but you still gloat about it, this is unjust. Although you cannot be said to be an unjust person, you just passed that unjust thought, so you have to drink wine as a penalty "Old man Kong took some cups, filled them all with wine, and arranged them in two rows, six in each row.
"Three cups will punish you for your unjust thoughts, and three cups will punish you for apologizing to your brothers." Old Man Kong pointed at the two rows of wine and said: "You guys have six cups each, finish it first."
Seeing that I was also fined with alcohol, Yi Ba probably wanted to laugh. But he was probably afraid of being punished by Old Man Kong, so he held back.
"It seems that neither of us has anything to do with this delicious pheasant meat. Let's stop thinking about it, drink the wine quickly, and go to sleep!" I said.
"Do it!" Yi Ba picked up the wine glass, clinked it with me, and then poured the wine in the glass into his mouth like drinking water.
The main reason for liquor is that it has great stamina. Therefore, when drinking, you need to drink it directly. There is not much difference between drinking three cups and drinking six cups.
After drinking six glasses of wine, after a few minutes at most, I became fragmented.
It smells so good, it’s the smell of chicken. I don’t know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the fragrance. I sat up dazedly and found that I was sleeping on Old Man Kong's bed.
“Are you over the alcohol?” Old Man Kong walked in and said, “Yi Badu has been waiting for you for a long time.”
"What is going on?" I asked a little confused.
"Come out and eat chicken! Yi Ba didn't dare to move his chopsticks until you woke up. He was afraid that I would punish him again." Old Man Kong said to me with a smile.
Under the moonlight, there was a small stove in the yard, and the pheasant meat in the casserole was placed on the stove.
“You haven’t eaten the pheasant meat?” I asked Old Man Kong.
“The guests haven’t even moved their chopsticks, how can the host do it first?” Old Man Kong has a lot of rules.
"Old man Kong said that the pheasant meat tastes more delicious after being simmered in a casserole for a few hours. Come over quickly and let's try it." Yi Ba not only helped me set up the bench, but also handed me the bowls and chopsticks.
"A pot of chicken is nothing. A small private thought once or twice will not have an impact on the brotherhood. If it happens too many times, it's hard to tell." Old man Kong and Yi talked to me. Eighth, I had an ideological class.
When I woke up from the wine, my stomach began to growl. Although now I just want to eat chicken and don’t want to listen to Old Man Kong’s great truths, I must admit that what Old Man Kong said is right.
"Eat! Talk while eating."
Old man Kong gave Yi Ba and I a chicken wing each and said, "Fortunately you are two brothers, otherwise I would A bowl of water can't even be lifted." Yi Ba picked up the wine glass and said to Old Man Kong: "I have only served two people in my life, one is my uncle, and the other is you, Old Man Kong."
