Chapter 268 Purple Jade, Black Honey

[Recite the Situ website silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

"Ah", there were exclamations one after another, followed by thunderous applause.

Zhao Xinyu looked at the stunned Ha Kun and said, "What are you waiting for? Get the adults and children out quickly." After saying this, he turned around and returned to Zha Mohe.

Returning to the meeting hall again, everyone looked at Zhao Xinyu with a hint of gratitude. Zha Mohe's eyes flickered a few times and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for saving their mother and son."

Zhao Xinyu smiled faintly, "Clan leader, it's not that I have great medical skills, but it's the result of the current development of medicine. If you don't go out, you won't know the changes in the outside world. Today's things may be a big deal for you, but for outside doctors It’s the easiest thing to say.”

Zha Mohe's eyes flickered for a few times, "Mr. Zhao, I understand, but this matter is a big event for our clan. Mowen Village is hundreds of miles away from the nearest human gathering place. It is difficult to get out, so We have to look into it."

Perhaps it was through the matter of rescuing people that the senior officials of Mowen Village felt the gap. Instead of rejecting Zhao Xinyu, they agreed to discuss it.

Seeing that they relented, Zhao Xinyu said no more. He knew that talking too much might be counterproductive.

While a group of people were chatting, Batu came back again and said, "Chief, Ha Kun would like to thank Mr. Zhao and invite you all to go over and celebrate."

Returning to Ha Kun's courtyard again, the coffin had been removed long ago. There was no trace of sadness in the courtyard. The faces of the people gathered in the courtyard were all beaming with joy. A huge table in the middle of the courtyard was filled with fruits.

The arrival of Zhao Xinyu and his group reminded the courtyard of applause again. Ha Kun walked over with a smile on his face and knelt down in front of Zhao Xinyu with a plop.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for saving our family."

Zhao Xinyu helped Ha Kun up and patted Ha Kun on the shoulder a few times. "No need to thank you. I just heard from the patriarch that your roasted whole lamb is excellent. I also know a little bit about cooking. Can we communicate?" one time".

Ha Kun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Brother Zhao, you are the benefactor of my Ha Kun family. Since you like it, I will give you the technique of roasting whole lamb later."

"Uncle, eat melon," a child's voice sounded.

Zhao Xinyu turned his head and was stunned for a moment. He saw a seven or eight-year-old boy holding up a piece of watermelon, his face full of admiration.

"Brother Zhao, this is my son Hassan."

Zhao Xinyu nodded subconsciously. He reached out to take the watermelon and raised his hand to stroke the child's head a few times. In fact, he was not surprised by Hassan, but by the watermelon that Hassan handed over.

As we all know, the pulp of watermelon is generally red or yellow. With the development of science and technology today, people have cultivated and cultivated silver pulp.

But the watermelon pulp he is holding now is not red, not yellow, not silver, but purple, the same color as amethyst.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu looking at the watermelon in a daze, Zha Mohe smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Zhao, I don't know if this watermelon can still be seen in the outside world."

Zhao Xinyu was stunned for a moment and shook his head with a hint of doubt, "Clan leader, this is the first time I have seen a purple watermelon."

"Try it first."

Of course, Zhao Xinyu could hear a difference in Zha Mohe's words. He took a bite of the watermelon, and the sweet and refreshing feeling spread throughout his body. Moreover, the watermelon also had a faint milky flavor. After eating it, he still had this feeling in his mouth. Special scent.

"It's delicious. This melon is really delicious."

Zha Mohe smiled lightly and said, "Hassan, take a piece of black honey."

Over there, Hassan agreed and came over with a piece of black stuff. If it weren't for the fact that the skin was a cantaloupe, Zhao Xinyu wouldn't have dared to say that what Hassan brought over was a piece of cantaloupe.

Zhao Xinyu was not polite, so he just took a sip of the black honey. After one sip, the sweet and refreshing feeling came again, and this time Zhao Xinyu felt that his brain became clearer.

"Clan leader, this..."

Zha Mohe sighed slightly, "Watermelon is called Ziyu, and cantaloupe is called Black Honey. This is what our clan has researched. At first, our ancestors won the appreciation of the First Emperor for their Purple Jade and Black Honey, but when the second generation succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gao wanted to In order to seize the purple jade and black honey, coupled with the war at that time, our ancestors had no choice but to come here."

Zhao Xinyu opened his mouth, and then smiled bitterly. He originally planned to ask for some purple jade and black honey seeds, but now that Zha Mohe said it, he was even more embarrassed to ask.

Perhaps feeling what Zhao Xinyu meant, Zha Mohe smiled lightly and said, "Actually, both black honey and purple jade are cultivated from ordinary seeds. Is Mr. Zhao interested in learning?"

Without any consideration at all, Zhao Xinyu said: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xinyu also felt that something was wrong. He looked at Zha Mohe embarrassedly and said, "Clan leader, I..."

Zha Mohe patted him on the shoulder a few times and said, "Mr. Zhao, if it weren't for Ha Kun's wife, even if you gave me a gold mountain, I wouldn't give you the breeding technology. I can see that you are not a man who is greedy for profit." "You righteous little man, you have a benevolent heart. The ancestors of the family developed purple jade and black honey because they wanted more people to taste it. We can't go out, so we can't fulfill the last wishes of our ancestors, but you can."

Zhao Xinyu's expression became serious, "Thank you very much, clan leader. Don't worry, I will spread the black honey and purple jade all over the world."

Zha Mohe patted Zhao Xinyu on the shoulder and sighed slightly, "I believe you, you should be ready when you go over there. Ha Kun's skill of roasting whole lamb is also passed down from his ancestors. Even in their family, it is passed down from male to male. Girl, you should study hard."

In an independent yard, Ha Kun was busy applying seasoning to a 70 to 80 kilogram sheep. When he saw Zhao Xinyu and Zha Mohe coming in, Ha Kun hurriedly got up.

Zha Mohe patted Zhao Xinyu on the shoulder, nodded to Zhao Xinyu, then turned and left the yard.

"Brother Ha Kun, I heard from the clan leader that your skill of roasting whole lamb is a family tradition, so it would be inappropriate to teach it to me now."

Ha Kun smiled faintly, "Those are the rules passed down from the older generation. You are the savior of their mother and son, and you are not considered an outsider. Besides, you can't bake an authentic roasted whole lamb without a certain talent. Although you are good at cooking, If you are interested in the art, even if I teach you, you may not be able to bake authentic roasted whole lamb, so I will not violate the teachings of my ancestors."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and said, "Brother Ha Kun, you will be disappointed."

Ha Kun shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Let's go. I'll show you the seasonings needed to roast the whole lamb first. You can write them down when the time comes."

Zhao Xinyu nodded, walked to the table and looked at the various spices placed in the small basin, including cumin, chili pepper, salt and sesame oil. Cinnamomum twig, lingcao, qianlexiang. . . . . . These are all common barbecue seasonings.

However, there are three kinds of seasonings that Zhao Xinyu has never seen before. One of these three seasonings is golden yellow, one is reddish brown, and one is red. The golden yellow seasoning is like millet grains, reddish brown, and red. It's all powder.

After reading the seasonings, Zhao Xinyu chuckled and pointed to three unfamiliar seasonings and asked with a smile: "Brother Ha Kun, I really don't know these three seasonings."

Ha Kun chuckled, pointed at the red powder and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, this is made from two Chinese herbal medicines: comfrey and magnolia flowers." As he spoke, he told Yang Chengzhi the ratio of the two Chinese herbal medicines.

Zhao Xinyu nodded. He also knew that many Jiangjiu barbecues did add Chinese herbal medicine, but this was the first time he heard that two Chinese herbal medicines were prepared in a certain proportion. Obviously there must be something to this.

Thinking of the preparation of Chinese herbal medicine, Zhao Xinyu reached out and pinched the reddish-brown seasoning powder and put it under his nose and smelled it. This seasoning was slightly spicy. This made Zhao Xinyu slightly startled.

He is a Chinese medicine doctor and has studied many plants, but he has never seen this kind of smell. However, he can smell it. There is only one kind of plant in it, not a mixture of two or three plants.

Zhao Xinyu's eyes flickered a few times, "Brother Ha Kun, this seasoning tastes like Sannai, but it's not Sannai. What is this?"

Ha Kun chuckled, "As expected of a Chinese medicine practitioner, this is indeed not Sannai. Its name is Jiunai. Although its taste is very similar to Sannai, many people tend to recognize it as Sannai. As long as he thinks so, he will never bake it. To make the most authentic roasted whole lamb, Jiunai is only produced in the Tianshan Mountains in the entire China region, and the place where Jiunai grows is quite special. It only appears for two months in a year, and the picking time is only a short half of it. Months, I go there once a year, and I can only pick about half a catty each time. The taste of Jiunai is a hundred times stronger than that of Sanai when used on barbecue."

After saying this, Ha Kun looked at Zhao Xinyu, "I heard that you came from Zhuojun, which is thousands of miles away from here. When you leave, we brothers don't know if we can still see each other. When you leave, I I’ll bring you some kunai and sake rice.”

Zhao Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes fell on the last unknown seasoning, "This is wine rice, is it soaked in wine?"

Ha Kun shook his head, turned to look at the door, pulled Zhao Xinyu over and whispered: "Brother Zhao, you are the benefactor of my family, and I don't want to lie to you. The wine and rice that people know are made with spirits. Yes, but this wine rice is not brewed, it is naturally produced. There is only one place in the entire Tianshan Mountains where wine rice can grow, and about one kilogram can be picked every year."

Zhao Xinyu's eyes fluctuated a few times, "Brother Ha Kun, what Jiunai and Jiumi picked are seeds, right?"

"Yes, when you leave, I will bring you a little of everything, which can be enough to roast more than ten sheep. If you have time, come back next year. I will stay in the mountains for a while this year and see if I can get more After all, only the roasted whole lamb with the addition of ginseng and rice wine is the authentic roasted whole lamb."

Zhao Xinyu smiled lightly and said, "As long as I have a little."
