Chapter 386 So delicious that it makes you cry
Song An Ning stepped forward to introduce everyone. Bai Zhi greeted the villagers warmly. When she learned that the old man standing in the front was An Ning's second grandfather, she bowed solemnly.
Song Erhe was flattered. He bowed to her and spoke very kindly:
"We have a distinguished guest, and we are sorry for not welcoming him.
There's nothing good in the village, so the villagers made some home-cooked dishes. If you don't mind..."
"Of course I don't mind, you're so polite.
I can smell the aroma even through the food boxes. Thank you all for your kindness. I will try everything."
Baizhi thanked him sincerely, and her impression of Banyue Village improved a lot. When there is money, everyone makes money together, and when there is something to do, everyone participates. Only when their hearts are together can they maintain a long-term relationship.
"We also delivered food to the crew on the boat. They had a hard time coming here."
The villagers had not seen much of the world and could not speak nice words, but no one present mentioned the matter of the chili peppers. They just looked at Baizhi sincerely, hoping that she would be happier in the village.
Baizhi took two steps forward and looked at the neatly dressed people who were standing in the yard at a loss. She handed over the food boxes, but then realized that there were too many people. Not wanting to make the guests feel uncomfortable, she said a few simple words, then made an excuse that she had something to do at home and said goodbye to them with a smile.
Only Song Erhe was left behind. As the head of Banyue Village and an elder, this was the right thing to do.
After the villagers left, Bai Zhi stood at the gate, looking at their backs, and whispered to Song An Ning:
“A few days ago, my master told me that he would be staying in Half Moon Village for a while, and I was a little confused.
He refused to live in a big house in the city and insisted on living in a small mountain village he had never heard of.
Now I understand. Banyue Village is nestled in the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. Most importantly, there is a lovely junior sister like you here. If I had to choose, I would also come and live here."
"Since you like it, please come more often.
There's still some open space next to Master's courtyard. I'll build two more rows of houses, so if my brothers and sisters want to stay for a while, there'll be room for them too."
"Okay, I won't be polite with you. But you can let the old man take the money for building the house. He is very rich."
Song An Ning covered her mouth and chuckled. She heard the sound of serving dishes and rice in the kitchen, and asked Xiangxiang to send a message to Old Man Pan, asking him to come over for dinner.
Xiao Yingchun had already prepared water of suitable temperature and asked Bai Zhi and Song An Ning to wash their hands while everyone prepared to eat.
Bai Zhi was helping to pick vegetables in the kitchen just now. She saw that the ingredients they prepared were just ordinary things, such as peppers, eggplants and preserved eggs. She had eaten them all at Zuixianju and didn't have too many expectations.
Looking at the entire Nanyue Dynasty, there aren't many delicacies that she hasn't tried.
But she would not spoil the fun. Seeing Aning and the villagers' confident expressions, she decided to eat a little less of each dish and then praise them.
But as everyone sat down, they saw exquisite dishes on white porcelain plates, all carefully prepared from the presentation to the color.
She couldn't tell what some of the dishes were made of, but they looked delicious...
What's going on? She actually feels like eating...
Old Man Pan was talking to Song Dashan and Song Erhe. As a junior, they didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks and could only sit quietly.
At this time, Song An Ning turned on the mind reading skill, and Xiangxiang listened to Bai Zhi's thoughts in her mind and laughed.
Baizhi: I really want to eat that golden one. Is it made of eggplant?
Oh, Baizhi, control yourself. You look like you have never seen the world before. You are so greedy!
Huh? What's that green thing? I've never seen it before. Is it delicious?
Song An Ning wrote down her thoughts one by one. After Song Dashan called for dinner, Song An Ning first used the public chopsticks to pick up some dishes for the elders, and then put the ones that Bai Zhi wanted to eat on the plate in front of her one by one.
"Senior Sister, this is a new dish we have developed. Please help me taste it.
If there are any deficiencies, we will make some changes.”
"it is good."
Baizhi was the first to pick up the eggplant box and took a small bite. The skin was golden and crispy, and the filling inside had a rich taste. The meat filling was mixed with the aroma of eggplant. Although it was fried, it did not feel greasy.
"Is this eggplant? It tastes good like this."
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. It's a blessing for this dish that you like it."
Old Man Pan and Brother Song Dashan were talking about things in the village. The sisters sat next to Old Man Pan and kept whispering to each other.
At this time, Bai Zhi picked up the Songhua Egg Sausage and asked:
"What is this made of?"
"Preserved eggs are made by adding eggs, placing them in sausage casings, tying them up, and steaming them."
"Can you still do this? I'm being narrow-minded."
Then, braised eggplant, chili meat sauce, spicy fried rabbit, pork skin and pine sausage, grilled eggplant rice...
The spiciness and taste of dishes made with each type of pepper are different, and the same is true for eggplant.
Plus the pepper stuffed meat, tiger skin hot peppers, and braised eggplant strips made by the villagers...
At first, Bai Zhi took a small bite of each dish and was very polite. But later, she didn't listen to what Song An Ning was saying and just focused on eating.
In the middle of the meal, Song Anning and Qin Yuanying served the three fresh vegetables that no one had ever eaten. There were no potatoes in Nanyue Dynasty, so she bought them specially from the mall, also for future preparation.
The last dish was the eggplant fish sauce that she learned from a famous book in her previous life. This was a dish that she and her mother, Aunt Yuanying, had started researching yesterday. The ingredients and cooking method were rather complicated.
Bai Zhi stared at the dishes in front of her, feeling that they were all piles of money!
What does it mean to be so delicious that it makes you cry? Bai Zhi finally experienced it today. She never thought that such delicious food could be found in a remote mountain village.
Compared to this, what are those dishes at Zuixianju? So what if they have peppers and eggplant? If you don't know how to cook them, it's like wasting food!
She couldn't imagine how popular this dish would be if it were served in a restaurant. Especially the eggplant fish dish, even if it was sold at a higher price, the wealthy families would still rush to buy it.
While Old Man Pan was speaking, he glanced at his second apprentice who was eating heartily and smiled secretly.
But in my heart I said: Humph! You little girl, now you have learned something new...
Rong Anning didn't eat much during this meal, but she kept talking and introducing dishes to her second senior sister. Seeing her finish two plates of food, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Auntie A Niang and Aunt Yuanying are great cooks, and the dishes just delivered by the villagers are also very delicious. The aunties are all great!
Baizhi ate everything in no time. Her stomach was already full, but she couldn't control her mouth and hands and wanted to eat some more.
Until everyone had almost finished eating, the Song family members were planning to offer Baizhi a glass of wine, but were stopped by Old Man Pan, who said that since she was his apprentice, she was the same as Aning and there was no need to be so polite.
Bai Zhi also meant the same thing. With her master beside her, she didn't dare to step out. She decided to just keep quiet and eat a few more bites...
After dinner, Song An Ning specially asked Aunt Yuan Ying to make some fruit tea, which was sour and sweet, cooling and relieving greasiness.
Bai Zhi took two bites, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to Song An Ning:
"Here! I'll take the fruit tea recipe as well."
