Chapter 57 Farewell

After the oil temperature rose, Bai Mengmeng quickly added two layers of pumpkin strips with flour, and quickly put them into the pan and fried them until golden brown. After they were shaped, she took them out and controlled the oil.

In fact, you have to choose the salted egg yolk carefully. The salted egg yolk of sea duck eggs tastes the best. This kind of egg yolk not only has a unique flavor, but is also oily and tastes particularly fresh and fragrant.

Turn the heat down to low, crush the egg yolks, and simmer until they melt little by little. When small bubbles appear, you can add salt to season.

Before turning off the heat, pour in the fried crispy pumpkin strips, and use the residual heat in the pan to gently wrap the two together. The pumpkin strips and salted egg yolks will blend together, and the crispy outside and crispy inside, salty, fragrant and soft egg yolk baked pumpkin is ready.

It is said that if the cook does not steal, the crops will not be harvested.

Bai Mengmeng tried one without hesitation. It was indeed delicious. She nodded in satisfaction.

I picked a few vegetables and stir-fried some seasonal side dishes. By the time the dishes were done, the pork bone soup was also ready.

…

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Bai Mengmeng brought a table full of dishes to the table.

Although the dishes are not particularly luxurious, they are very rich, and have good color, aroma and taste.

When Cao Zhizhi smelled the fragrance, she knew it was time to eat, so she quickly took her bowl and chopsticks and ran to the table.

Finally, guests came, and Xu Bo took out his treasured wine. He picked wild grapes from the mountains last year and brewed it himself. This was the first time he drank it.

Hua Guduo, Wang Hao, Liang Cha and others said that they didn't drink. Bai Mengmeng didn't want to drink at first, but seeing Xu Bo's fiery gaze, she had to drink by herself.

The wine is a little cloudy and looks amber in color, but it looks pretty good.

She raised her wine glass and laughed at Cao Zhizhi, "You've come all this way here, so I only have farm-style food to treat you. I hope you don't mind. Eat more later."

Drink the wine in one gulp.

The next second, Bai Mengmeng's expression suddenly became strange.

This wine is not only sour, spicy and bitter, but also has a decadent smell.

The taste was so unacceptable to her that she felt like her mouth was about to explode. After enduring for a long time, she couldn't help it and spat on the ground.

…

Damn it, she actually forgot that Xu Bo was also a kitchen killer. How could the wine he brewed be drinkable?

The others also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, thinking that the leader was too careless.

They reminded us and said they didn't want to drink, but we still had to drink?

Seeing Bai Mengmeng spit it out, Xu Bo was embarrassed: "These grapes are indeed wild grapes. As expected, the taste is not very good. It's an accident. Let's eat the vegetables quickly."

Cao Zhizhi was almost laughing like crazy and started eating the food.

She first took a fancy to the chestnut roast chicken. After all, she had picked the chestnuts herself in the mountains and had spent an entire afternoon peeling them.

Although she hadn't started eating it yet, she felt that this was definitely the best chestnut she had ever tasted in her life.

Not to mention that Bai Mengmeng is a very good cook. The chestnut roast chicken she is serving not only looks particularly fat and tender, but also has a rich sauce and the chestnuts are slightly browned on the surface, which looks particularly tempting.

As soon as I took a bite, I knew that this chestnut roast chicken was absolutely amazing.

The chicken flavor is fragrant and smooth. It is not only very tasty, but also has the sweetness of chestnuts. The combination of the two is simply delicious.

What surprised her even more was that the chestnuts were particularly soft and glutinous, dense and fluffy in the mouth, with a strong taste of chicken fat, and tasted even better than chicken.

After each person ate a lot of pieces, Cao Zhizhi turned her attention to the pumpkin.

The fried pumpkin strips are exceptionally golden and crispy, and look bright yellow. Even if you don’t eat them, it’s pleasing to the eye just looking at them.

Once you take a bite, you will find it crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside. The salty and fragrant egg yolk is paired with the sweet old pumpkin, and you can't stop eating it.

After eating for a long time and stopping to savor the taste, she suddenly found that the people in front of her had gone crazy, creating a scene of knife flashes and blood with their chopsticks. Such a large portion of food was actually decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If you don’t hurry up and grab this, it will probably be gone soon!

Cao Zhizhi quickly joined the battle and started fighting for it.

Only after finishing his meal did he sit in the chair contentedly, constantly sighing.

"It's so delicious! I feel like I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life. If there was a restaurant in our hospital that served such delicious food, I would definitely go there every day."

Bai Mengmeng laughed: "Then you should eat more in the next two days. After these two days, you won't be able to eat anymore."

"Oh, I really don't want to go to work at all!" Cao Zhizhi couldn't help but roar to the sky.

…

The day of separation came soon. Even if Cao Zhizhi asked for leave, she couldn't take many days off, so she had to go back to work soon.

Bai Mengmeng not only went up the mountain with her to pick chestnuts, but also took her to Phoenix Film City for a tour, and then went to Phoenix Temple to draw lots. Her schedule was full.

Before leaving, Cao Zhizhi was stuffed full of dry goods, dried cornus officinalis, and sour soup in jars. Bai Mengmeng also made several other specialties and packed them in takeaway boxes so that Cao Zhizhi could take them back to eat.

"When you are free in the future, you must come and play with me." When they parted, Cao Zhizhi's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

"I understand. Come back when you have time." Bai Mengmeng helped pack up and walked him to the station. "Also, if you don't have night shifts in the future, go to bed early and don't overwork yourself. Go to bed on time and eat regularly."

Cao Zhizhi was silent for two seconds, and her tone became serious and earnest.

"I didn't understand why you quit your job at the hospital and came here to run a farm stay. Now I finally understand."

"Actually, it doesn't matter what job you do. The most precious thing in life is happiness. As long as you are happy here, nothing else matters."

"You must be happy too." Bai Mengmeng said with emotion and wiped away the tears from the corners of Cao Zhizhi's eyes.

Seeing that the other party still had a look of reluctance and an appearance of saying goodbye, Bai Mengmeng was a little amused and helpless.

After staying in a farm house for two days, are you so reluctant to leave?

"Okay, don't be sad. Let's contact each other on WeChat later. How about I take a video of you after I finish cooking?"

"Forget it. If I can't even eat it while watching the video, wouldn't that make me even more upset?"

After her friend left, Bai Mengmeng lost her energy for a while and always felt empty inside.

But the restaurant has to continue operating. Even though it's not doing well, Bai Mengmeng still wants to make good money.

So, I took out my phone and sent a message in the WeChat group.

[Good news, we'll officially reopen tomorrow, so come early if you want to eat!]
