Chu Hao walked to the place where plants were sold. He carefully selected potatoes, fruit tomatoes, and some tender corn.
That's right, he wanted to start from the beginning, boiled potatoes with tomato sauce and boiled young corn, to verify the authenticity of the descriptions in those books. After Chu Hao bought it, he went home without stopping.
Simple ingredients often only require simple cooking methods to achieve the ultimate deliciousness.
After putting the potatoes and corn into the pot,
Chu Hao started to make tomato sauce.
Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them in half. Then, add sugar and marinate. Once the sugar dissolves, pour the mixture into the pot and begin to simmer. As the bubbling water gurgles, a rich, fresh aroma spreads.
Boiled potatoes have no taste, but boiled corn has a sweet smell.
The book said that you should add some honey to the ketchup after it cools down, but he didn't buy honey, but it was pretty good as it was.
He also said that ketchup should be served with fried French fries, but he couldn't buy any oil. He asked many shops, but no one knew what oil was.
But it is also delicious when boiled.
Chu Hao couldn't help it and took a big mouthful of ketchup.
"Hmm~~~" Chu Hao didn't know how he made the sound, but the feeling of comfort that made his soul tremble was really unstoppable. It was obviously just such a simple operation.
Chu Hao couldn't help but shed two lines of tears from the corners of his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly understood his great-grandfather. Who knew how he had lived through the past twenty years!
Chu Hao finished eating two pieces of tender corn and three boiled potatoes with ketchup while crying.
"Burp~~~" If he hadn't been so full, he thought he could have finished it! It was the first time he felt the feeling of a full stomach. He looked at the remaining two boiled corns and a potato with regret.
"Oh, I can only give it to my dad." Chu Hao packed up two boiled corns and a potato with some reluctance, then rummaged around and found the smallest seasoning box, scooped two small spoons of ketchup and packed it up.
After all, he only has a small bottle, so let Dad taste it today, and make more tomorrow so that he can send some to Uncle Gu and the others.
After Chu Hao packed up, he rushed to the hospital to deliver food to Chu Ming.
"Why are you here at this time? The sun is so strong." Chu Ming looked at Chu Hao who was sweating profusely, feeling a little distressed and a little proud.
"Look what I brought you today?" Chu Hao took out the takeaway box with a smile.
"Could it be Mai Huhu?" Chu Ming asked with a smile.
Fortunately, Gu Can and the others were not around. This wheat porridge was the one that made the three of them vomit. It was unhulled wheat, pounded into a porridge, mixed with a lethal amount of pepper and sugar. It would be left there for ten days or half a month. Whenever they wanted to eat it, they would make a bowl of it, mix it with water and boil it.
What can I say? Anyway, this thing looks green!
"That stuff, even dogs won't eat it!" Chu Hao now felt that he couldn't eat that stuff at all!
"?" Chu Ming was confused by Chu Hao's answer. Chu Hao had always been the kind of modest gentleman, cheerful, gentle and good-tempered. Even when he was angry, he would never say anything harsh. On the contrary, the tone of his words towards his favorite wheat porridge was even more vicious than when he was at his most angry.
"You'll know after you eat it!" Chu Hao still felt that facts should speak for themselves.
"Isn't this just corn?" Chu Ming laughed. Chu Hao had never liked it before. Because it was always eaten raw, and the corn was extremely hard, Chu Hao couldn't swallow it when he was little. He could only eat soft food, like that green wheat porridge!
"You eat it." Chu Hao put it directly into his father's mouth.
"Hmm!" Chu Ming subconsciously took a bite. Oh my god, it was delicious! Sweet and soft, he could eat ten of them. Chu Ming finished two palm-sized pieces of corn quickly. It was only slightly better than Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.
Chu Hao had also finished peeling the potatoes. He carefully poured ketchup on them and handed them to Chu Ming. Chu Ming didn't ask any questions and just took a big bite.
The special sweet and sour taste of ketchup is irresistible. Chu Ming looked at the remaining half potato, stretched out his hand, and asked Chu Hao to pour some more ketchup on it.
Chu Hao picked up the small box. It was empty! There was nothing left!
"You little bastard, where did you buy this good stuff? You even bought more!" However, you don't have to eat the remaining half potato so quickly.
"I didn't buy it." Chu Hao shook his head.
"You didn't buy it? Then where did it come from? Old Gu gave it to you. Boy, although Old Gu has some minor flaws, he is a good person. You can't always take advantage of him!" Chu Ming said.
"No, but it is indeed related to Uncle Gu and the others." Chu Hao said, and Chu Ming just looked at him without interrupting.
"In our old house, there's a recipe book that my great-grandfather secretly preserved. It should have been destroyed last century. After Gu Jinbao and Uncle Gu died, Uncle Gu gave it to me. Uncle Gu and his family never even opened it." Chu Hao only had Chu Ming as his only relative, so he didn't intend to hide it. He just didn't mention the jade pendant.
"Old Gu, is this what you made according to those recipes?" Chu Ming sighed that Old Gu was honest.
"Well, it tastes good just by boiling it in water. No one has tried it in all these years." Chu Hao said.
"You are young and don't know that when the International Convention for Environmental Protection was not abolished, people were in a panic. As long as they could survive, no one dared to do such things. The older people were scared. You kids are brave, but you have no concept of this at all, so naturally no one knows about it." Chu Ming sighed.
