Chapter 164 Bamboo Forest
Put the prawns into the tomato sauce, then simmer the sauce over high heat until the prawns are covered with the rich sauce and mixed with the sweet and sour flavor.
Suddenly, a fresh and sweet smell came to my nose.
"It's done, time to eat."
Sour, sweet and spicy, these three flavors are naturally at the top.
Among them, the sweet and sour flavors are particularly popular.
Different growing environments and eating habits have given rise to many different special dishes. For example, the Northeast uses sweet and sour flavors to create sweet and sour pork, while the Jiangnan region creates squirrel mandarin fish. This shows that the sweet and sour taste is widely loved by everyone.
Therefore, the prawns in tomato sauce were placed in the food pick-up area. Not long after the sweet and sour smell was released, a lot of people came running over with plates in their hands.
"Yesterday's taste, there are really new dishes, sour and sweet, my favorite!"
Yin Yuan couldn't wait any longer and quickly ran to the front to grab himself a big spoonful of shrimp.
Others, not wanting to fall behind, began to scramble for the food.
Bai Mengmeng secretly stuck her head out from behind the kitchen.
I saw many people happily eating prawns at this moment. The firm and plump shrimp meat, coupled with the abundant tomato sauce, seemed to make everyone very satisfied after eating it.
Some people, after eating the shrimps, take the sweet and sour tomato sauce, mix it with rice, and eat it directly with the rice. The sweet and sour taste is so delicious when used to mix with rice.
Bai Mengmeng was delighted.
Just muddle through and another day passes.
It seems that no matter where these tomatoes are grown, people will love to eat them.
But it seemed that there were a lot of tomatoes produced. Director Fang only produced a few in total, and they have all been eaten today.
The other tomatoes have just started to sprout, and their leaves haven't even grown fully yet, let alone bear fruit.
As time goes by, the temperature is getting higher and higher, basically above ten degrees every day, so the tomatoes and other vegetable seedlings grown indoors need to be transplanted outside after a while.
After a while, you can build a frame and let the vines grow freely.
Plants like tomatoes, cowpeas, chayote and cucumbers simply cannot grow well without supports.
Only by building a frame to support the vines can they grow freely, and the fruits will not fall to the ground, become weird in shape, or be eaten by insects.
"What should I use to build a shelf?"
Bai Mengmeng walked towards the fruit area and replenished the fruits there while thinking in her mind.
After putting the plates away, Bai Mengmeng saw Director Fang eating alone in a corner.
Behind the emerald green ivy, he was happily peeling shrimps and eating them with such relish that the table in front of him was full of shrimp shells.
Bai Mengmeng thought about it, made a plan in mind, and quickly ran forward to say hello.
"Director Fang, are you satisfied?"
Director Fang nodded subconsciously, but he felt that his mouth was sticky and full of soup, so he was embarrassed to speak and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
He felt a little embarrassed when he noticed Bai Mengmeng staring at the shrimps in front of his table strangely.
"Delicious! The shrimps are especially delicious today. I ate a little more..."
Bai Mengmeng turned around and saw that no one was around, so she sat down opposite him, narrowed her eyes and said:
"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't ripened those tomatoes, I wouldn't be able to make this dish now!"
"No wonder, I was wondering why this sauce is so delicious!"
Director Fang had a smug look on his face. "You came to see me, what's going on? Do you want me to help you ripen your tomatoes again? Those tomatoes you planted are really too troublesome to ripen. I've been working so hard for a long time, but they're not even very ripe!"
"No, no, I have other things to do."
Bai Mengmeng was embarrassed: "I want to put up a shelf for the vegetables I grow, but I don't know what kind to get. There seems to be a bamboo forest behind the family compound, and I was thinking..."
"Behind the family compound?" Director Fang interrupted quickly, his expression horrified: "You didn't do anything?!"
Bai Mengmeng was stunned for a moment and felt that the other party's reaction was a bit too much.
"Of course not. I'm still applying for it from you. I'm thinking that bamboo grows faster after being divided, so I plan to cut some to make racks. Please urge me when the time comes..."
After this back and forth, the bamboo will probably grow more vigorous and dense, and she will be able to build the frame as she pleases.
This is not a big deal, just a few bamboos, Director Fang should not refuse.
However, Director Fang's expression was serious at this moment.
"I'm afraid the bamboo you mentioned won't work. It was planted by the captain of Team One. It has a special purpose and was specially designed. He has a bit of a strange temper, so I'm afraid..."
Bai Mengmeng's expression became dull.
Oh no!
She originally thought that these bamboos were the green belts brought by the sailors when the building was being built, and just like the wild vegetables on the island, they all belonged to the island owner.
But I didn't expect that this was planted by some small team, and it seemed to have some special functions.
Bai Mengmeng suddenly felt guilty: "Director Fang... I really didn't touch the bamboo... It's just... this morning, I saw the bamboo shoots inside and couldn't help but dig out a bag..."
Director Fang was stunned.
Why is Bai Mengmeng always able to find ingredients!
For so many years he thought that the bamboo was for viewing only, but he never expected that there were edible bamboo shoots inside!
"You didn't cut the bamboo, are you sure you dug up bamboo shoots?"
"Definitely not, I assure you!"
Director Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, as long as the bamboo doesn't move."
Bai Mengmeng nodded quickly: "That's good."
Since that piece of bamboo didn't work, she gave up the idea.
Anyway, it will take some time for the vegetables to grow, so there is no need to rush to set up the racks.
At worst, he could ask Master Pi to buy some racks for him from outside. It wouldn’t be a big problem.
But Bai Mengmeng was still a little curious in her heart. What would the use of planting those bamboos be?
After they chatted for a few minutes, Bai Mengmeng decided to leave as she had to go back to the kitchen to continue working.
Before leaving, she cautiously asked, "Director Fang, Senior Song suddenly came over yesterday and asked me to help him cook. I was really scared. I didn't expect that someone like him would actually come to the cafeteria to eat."
Director Fang was still thinking about Zhuzi at the moment. When he heard this, he answered subconsciously without thinking.
"He really isn't arrogant. He asked you to come over because he probably liked your cooking skills."
Bai Mengmeng was shocked. This Master Song really had an extraordinary identity.
The big boss who had deliberately mentioned his name and asked Director Fang to invite him to join Zigai Mountain was indeed Master Song!
