Chapter 199 Out of sight, out of mind
Jiang Hongxing did not think that her family had consumed too much oil, firewood, or the craftsmanship of her guests. She only thought that Zhou Zhi had added river fresh vegetables to dinner, and she had benefited from it. So I took out two jars of old wine and it was considered a "tie".
Only then did Zhou Zhi remember that this place is also the hometown of liquor, and Jiangjin sorghum liquor is also a specialty.
The wine Jiang Hongxing poured out was amber. After asking again, it turned out that it was soaked in dried longan meat. I don’t know the age. Anyway, the longan meat was gone. Except for a little sediment at the bottom of the wine, everything was gone. Made wine and sex.
It is also the hometown of Sichuan peppercorns, so there are also crushed Sichuan peppercorn leaves in the flour paste of the fried fish. Even if it is not dipped in salt, pepper and chili, it still has a light peppery aroma.
The same goes for the rock carp. The Sichuan peppercorns are much heavier than the Jiachuan ones, which makes the Jiachuan friends who are used to eating Sichuan peppers shout that they are very enjoyable.
Rock sugar should be added to the amber longan wine. Friends who have experienced the disaster of plum wine from Fubao Forestry Farm know that although this stuff is soft and delicious, the alcohol content is probably much higher than that of plum wine. Not ordinary intoxicating.
Fortunately, the drinking method is relatively elegant, and everyone uses small cups worth five yuan.
So Zhou Zhi suspects that this wine may be a bit expensive, because it is not an ordinary fragrance. It is obvious that in addition to longan, other spices and medicinal materials are added to it, forming a very special "tail", which is even It has a floral and fruity aroma that cannot be overshadowed by the deliciousness of dry-roasted honey seeds.
Jiang Hongxing poured a glass for each girl: "Girls drink this wine better than men, so they all have a glass. Shu Yi, do you know how your mother developed her drinking capacity?" ”
"Ah?" Jiang Shu did not expect Jiang Hongxing to say this: "Uncle Jiang, is my mother...here..."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Hongxing handed over the cup filled with wine. To her: "Didn't I learn it on Zhongba Island! Let me tell you, if a girl doesn't drink, once she drinks It’s a huge amount.”
“When the people from Jiachuan Supply and Marketing Cooperative came to collect sugar, pepper, and dried longan, they had to bring Shuyi’s mother with them.”
Zhou Zhi finally understood! The reason why Jiang Qiao and Du Yufen are so familiar with the people on Zhongba Island has never brought Jiang Shuyi over to play.
It is indeed inappropriate to have a drinking party with children.
"Move your chopsticks, move your chopsticks." Aunt Jiang didn't look weak. She took off her apron and looked like a heroine: "The fish won't taste good when it's cold." It’s a pity that I can’t eat this dish. The scales of the water honey seeds are very small. After frying and then roasting, the skin of the fish skin will turn into collagen, making it glutinous and sticky.
If you replace this dish with crucian carp, you need to thicken the gravy at the end, but water honey seeds are not needed. It is a serious "self-made gravy".
Zhou Zhi’s home made dry-roasted pork with fresh pork meat, but Aunt Jiang didn’t buy fresh pork here, but used fat bacon. Zhou Zhi discovered that the dry-roasted water honey made with fat bacon meat, The taste is even richer than that made from fresh fatty pork.
“No one has ever taught me this trick.” Zhou Zhi had already scooped out a small bowl of rice, used a spoon to scoop out gravy, meat sauce, and green onions as toppings. In front of Jiang Shuyi beside him: "Shuyi, it turns out that fat bacon whistle is more delicious than fresh meat!"
Jiang Shuyi didn't refuse. She seemed to feel more relaxed when she came to the island where her mother had developed her drinking skills.
However, I was not so bold as to look up at the surprised and inexplicable expressions of people at the table, so I just lowered my head and started eating.
As a result, just when Zhou Zhi started to make it for himself, Yan Xiao and Fang Wenyu also started to do it together. One took He Shiqing's bowl, and the other took Ye Xin's bowl.
Aunt Jiang couldn't help but smile, and lightly touched Jiang Hongxing with her elbow.
Jiang Hongxing also realized that there were three ambiguous couples on his table.
I couldn't help but turn around to see what was going on at the other table.
The situation at the other table was a little different. Feng Xueshan handed the bowl to Yang He directly: "Monk is the best, I also want to eat it like elbow." Su Datou took Zhang Xinyi's bowl: "I'll get it for eldest sister."
There is still one Zhao Zhonggang, one Zhang Lu, and one Xiong Jiao.
Seeing Xiong Jiao looking at him with a smile, Zhao Zhonggang felt as if he was facing a major fire hazard, so he took immediate action: "It's an honor, it's my honor to be able to feed Jiaojiao!"
Xiong Jiao handed the bowl to Zhao Zhonggang: "I heard from my elbow that you are very cruel to the girls in the clothing city."
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Zhao Zhonggang said: "We have a garage downstairs, and those girls Standing outside the garage every time you come here will affect your attendance efficiency."
"Really?" Xiong Jiao's eyes sparkled: "That's called that. Where's Xu Hui's?"
"She..." Zhao Zhonggang paused in scooping up the soup: "She is the same."
"It's the same." Feng Xueshan said from Yang He. Li took the covered rice and rolled his eyes at Zhao Zhonggang: "Those girls, she, they all have different names and they are still the same as here, hahaha..."
"After dinner later, Zhong Gang, please accompany me for a walk." Xiong Jiao was as gentle as ever: "Let's go with Xueshan."
"Okay." Feng Xueshan said and looked at the table over there. He glared at Xiong Jiao and smiled and cursed: "Out of sight, out of mind! Right?"
There is not much moist and soft longan wine, it is about three kilograms, which is two kilograms for more than ten people. An average of around two is considered a bottom line at best.
There are more and less among them. The ones who drink the most are Jiang Hongxing and his wife, and the rest are Zhou Zhi and other friends. For Jiang Shuyi and others, they can only call them tipsy, for Ye Xinmu Ruyun Zhouzhi is a bit less than a few.
However, it is impossible to go without wine in this area. As expected, Jiang Hongxing took out another jar. This time, he was still brewing wine. It was new wine that had just been brewed for two months, and it was also a local specialty—— Cantonese wine.
Guanggan is the local name for oranges. It is abundant along the Yangtze River from Hubei to Jiachuan. During the peak season, it is so cheap that farmers are reluctant to go to cities to sell it.
However, in addition to making up for the drunkenness, the taste of Cantonese wine is not as impressive as the previous longan wine. With the dry-roasted honey seed and gordon sauce mixed with rice as a base, this wine will not taste too bad. Get drunk quickly.
This meal was really enjoyable. In addition to river fresh food, black bean curd and sugar cane skin smoked bacon sausage were also very popular.
The radish grown in the moist soil is also a must-have. In addition to the radish stewed in the bacon soup, Aunt Jiang also made a cold shredded radish with paste of chili pepper as a sobering dish with rice. Absolutely.
Even with eating and drinking, this meal took quite a long time. By the time we had finished drinking and eating, it was already at the zenith of the moon. The moonlight was very bright tonight. Everyone was still wanting to eat, and they were a little tired after eating. , let’s go out for a walk together.
The roads on the island are very simple. There is only one main road, which is like the back of a big fish. It goes from the tail of the fish through the village to the head of the fish.
There are several paths in the middle that lead to the river beaches on both sides.
Jiang Hongxing was very happy to make wine, but he was a little reluctant to part with the battery, but it was better this way. Zhou Zhi and Su Datou had the opportunity to make torches again.
The bamboo torches were quickly made. Everyone lit the torches and the team was divided into several small groups. Jiang Hongxing led the team and walked back and forth towards the river bank.
