Chapter 1306 Confused Colin

"How did you think of it?" Ke Lin looked at Yuan Zhou with complicated eyes and asked.

"When I was familiar with how to make spicy crispy fish, I always felt that there was something wrong with the taste of spicy spicy fish, so I started researching it." Yuan Zhou said lightly.

"Can I take a look at your notebook again?" Colin looked at the notebook in Yuan Zhou's hand.

"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded.

But when Yuan Zhou took it over, Colin did not wait there anymore, but took a few steps forward and eagerly took it.

This time, Colin looked through it from the end, and sure enough, the last part of the notebook recorded how to make bad chili peppers.

But not only these, there are also excerpts from the history of salt administration in ancient China, as well as the origins of peppers in various places in Guizhou, and even records of purple-skinned garlic used to make peppers.

"What you wrote here is correct. The purple-skinned garlic produced in Ying County should be the best now, but the peppers used are still produced in our province. Although it is not as good as the purple-skinned garlic in Yingxian County, it is still good. It’s particularly suitable for making bad chili peppers.” Poor pointed at the record in his notebook.

"But I have used both, and found that eating Yingxian purple garlic can better preserve the bad peppers without salt." Yuan Zhou said.

"Oh? Then the people in ancient times did not have the purple garlic from Ying County to use." Ke Lin said.

"No, but the purple-skinned garlic at that time had the same effects as Yingxian County. It won't break when being rolled over by a car, won't be crushed under foot, will not change color for a long time, won't lose flavor after being stored for a long time, and won't change color after being stored for a long time. It's just mashed garlic. It can also be prevented for several days." Yuan Zhou said.

"This is really possible, and we need to think about it carefully." Colin was silent for a moment, and then thought carefully.

After Colin finished thinking, the two had another discussion.

In fact, it's not that Ke Lin and Yuan Zhou want to hold on to the trivial matter of bad chili peppers, but that bad chili peppers, or sourness, are too important to the people of Guizhou and to Guizhou cuisine.

Your province actually does not produce salt locally. The entire province's salt comes from supplies from other provinces. In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and it would take a lot of effort to carry people on horseback or on horseback. Therefore, the Miao people in your province invented this invention. The method of replacing salt with acid.

Therefore, there are three days in Guizhou where I don’t eat sour food and walk around. You couldn’t live without sour food before, but now you can’t live without sour food. Therefore, the acid-flavored chili pepper occupies many major dishes in Guizhou cuisine. .

In scientific terms, the role of salt in the human body is to regulate the balanced distribution of water in the human body, maintain osmotic pressure inside and outside cells, participate in the formation of gastric acid, promote the secretion of digestive juices, increase appetite, and ensure that pepsin functions Necessary pH to maintain the balance of pH in the body and the normal circulation of body fluids.

But in ancient times, due to the lack of salt in your province, you could only make various fermented sour condiments, including bad chili peppers, to replace salt. Because nitrite is produced during the production of acid, it can also participate in the formation of gastric acid. , increase people's appetite.

This is also the scientific origin of that proverb.

"Now people in your province don't have to worry about eating salt, but we still can't forget what the original bad chili tasted like." After a long discussion, Colin concluded.

Yuanzhou didn't answer this and listened silently.

After Colin sighed with emotion, the tea on the table was almost finished. At this time, Zhou Shijie said in time: "Change the tea and continue."

"Oh, the tea is all finished." Colin suddenly lowered his head and looked at the table.

"No." Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

"Okay, that's all for today, isn't Xiao Yuan going to open a shop in the evening?" Colin said, looking up at the clock on the wall.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Ke." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Okay, then just leave without changing?" Zhou Shijie asked.

"Well, let's go." Colin nodded.

Yuan Zhou also nodded, and just when Zhou Shijie was about to stand up, Ke Lin suddenly spoke with emotion.

"Xiao Yuan, you are welcome to come to your province as a guest." After Colin said this, he frowned and said, "Forget it, it's better not to come." But after a pause, he changed his tone and said, "You are welcome to your province. You should still come,

But come a few times less, don’t come too many. "

"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded seriously.

When Colin said this, his tone was no longer filled with emotion, but extremely complicated. The look he looked at Yuan Zhou was filled with joy, worry and dissatisfaction.

The look he looked at Zhou Shijie was more direct, showing Chi Luoluo's dissatisfaction.

"You old boy knows how to trick me." Colin scolded.

"Hahaha, I'm here to give you some knowledge." Zhou Shijie accepted Colin's venting with a smile.

"Xiao Yuan, you are really nice. Let's see you again when you get the chance." After finishing speaking, Colin stood up and walked out of the box.

The one who walked didn't look back, his steps were fast and firm.

"This?" Yuan Zhou turned to look at Zhou Shijie in confusion.

"Hahaha, this guy runs pretty fast." Zhou Shijie laughed.

"Don't worry about him. He's in a complicated mood and can't get excited." Zhou Shijie led Yuan Zhou out of the box door and explained slowly.

"Why?" Yuan Zhou asked subconsciously.

Yuan Zhou was indeed a little confused. He was obviously fine when they were talking about food, but why did he act like he didn't want to see him anymore.

"That old guy doesn't want to see you, but he likes you very much, but he has an apprentice. Do you understand?" Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

Yuan Zhou listened for a moment, then nodded to show that he understood.

Ke Lin, who quickly walked out of the yard by the river, was just like Zhou Shijie said. He liked Yuan Zhou but disliked him very much.

Yuan Zhou is only one-third of his age, but he has his level, the level of Sichuan cuisine that Zhou Shijie personally affirmed, and the level of Guizhou cuisine that he has personally tasted. At such an age and with such level, how can he trust Yuan Zhou? The state goes to your province.

If Yuan Zhou went to Guizhou to communicate with him, his disciples and grandchildren would be ashamed to death. They are obviously the same age as him, but they are not on the same level as him.

Although Yuanzhou's current level of Guizhou cuisine is not up to his level, Yuanzhou started to learn the essence of Guizhou cuisine. Colin is sure that it is just around the corner for Yuanzhou to reach his current level.

How could Colin let such a person rest assured to be seen by his apprentices? You must know that he believed that the apprentices he received were also geniuses in cooking. Sometimes geniuses have opponents who can promote their progress, but Yuan Zhou only Can hit people.

"This kid is a monster." Before getting into the car, Colin looked at Yuan Zhou who followed Zhou Shijie out of the yard and murmured.

"Hey, why are you so young?" Colin sighed, then got in the car and left.

Colin didn't want to see Yuan Zhou, but he liked him very much because he couldn't refuse a man who worked so hard in cooking and was talented and gifted.
