Chapter 234 Water Well
The reason why I have to go to the market is not only to give me the eel rack, but also to buy two ingredients.
Pork Crispy Rice Slices is a famous Sichuan dish, a classic among non-spicy Sichuan dishes.
The method is to put the wok on the fire, add the pork oil to heat, put the meat slices into the wok and stir-fry them until smooth and set aside.
Then leave the base oil in the pot, add the mushrooms and magnolia slices, soak the peppers, ginger, garlic, and green onions, stir-fry for a while, add the meat slices and stir-fry evenly, cook in the gravy, add the pea sprouts, reduce the juice slightly, and remove from the pot Fill the bowl.
Put the crispy rice into a boiling vegetable oil pan, fry until it turns yellow, pick it up when it floats, put it into a nest plate, and pour a small amount of boiling oil over it.
Serve the crispy rice and the fried pork slices at the same time. While the oil is hot, pour the meat slices on the crispy rice. After a swishing sound, the crispy pork slices are done.
If the sliced pork is replaced with three fresh squid, this dish is called crispy squid, which is an upgraded version of the crispy pork slices.
In the past, this dish was very troublesome because you had to make the rice crackers yourself, but now it is easy. There are ready-made rice crackers on the market, and they are just thin rice pancakes shaped like the bottom of a pot. They are very authentic.
Such a big crispy rice cake and a squid crispy rice cake will definitely not be used up, but it has endless benefits. It is fried and sprinkled with pepper and salt. It is definitely a popular refreshment in the study salon.
After buying the materials, Zhou Zhi went directly to the comprehensive market on the second floor, which mainly sells daily necessities, sugar, wine, beverages, condiments and the like.
Going out of the exit here is on the slope of Zhangjiagou. After perfectly avoiding Mr. Hu on the first floor, Zhou Zhi sneaked to the black bean curd restaurant at the north entrance and had a bowl of bean curd rice before returning home with satisfaction. Arrive at home.
The soup stock has been steamed. Zhou Zhi turned out the insulated lunch box that he used to deliver meals when he was hospitalized and poured the soup into it: "Grandma, I went to cook for Grandpa Zhao."
< br>"That's right." Grandma asked: "Are Dr. Zhao satisfied with the new cushion?"
"I haven't seen him yet, I'm a busy man." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I'll ask later, no matter what his attitude is, I will definitely Give you a satisfactory answer.”
Grandma patted Zhou Zhi's thigh with the half-filled insole in her hand: "Don't think Grandma can't understand your wisecracks! Why doesn't Monk go with you?"
"It's time for Monk to go home, too. It’s only after the New Year I will be back. There are many guests at home these days, and the chicken pen upstairs is full. I took one from the refrigerator and went to Xin Yi's house. At noon, I told my dad that I had made room for the refrigerator. "
"When you have time to wait, you can also give it to Dean Sanfan. Take one with you, it will save your life." Grandma said: "And your godfather." "Uncle Santan can do it." Zhou Zhi nodded: "But let's forget about that. I can't even find the ginger and garlic. Why don't we ask them to come over and eat for convenience?"
"So I asked you to bring chicken!" Before he finished speaking, he got slapped again: "Just have some ginger slices, peppercorns and salt. Come back after you stew it. .”
"Okay, okay, then I have to kill him." Zhou Zhi nodded: "Then tell dad, I will kill him if he kills me."
"Why don't you kill him? You were with Yang at that time And the frogs caught in the toilet, aren’t they pretty neat?”
“Amitabha,” Zhou Zhi pretended to say the Buddha’s name: “That’s not my childhood. Don't you know what to do? Besides, it's enough to have a chicken killer at home. I'll kill him as a last resort."
"Just take care of yourself!"
< br>Carrying the ingredients and frozen chicken up the mountain along the stone steps, he went to the dormitory of the agricultural machinery company and called Jiang Shuyi. The two of them walked together towards the dormitory of the Urban Construction Bureau where Zhang Xinyi's family was located.
When passing through the camphor forest, the two stopped for a while in front of the well.
This well is very deep and the water is exceptionally clear. Of course no one comes here to fetch water now. Only Dr. Zhao insists that the water here is good and often comes to fetch some for making tea. .
Zhou Zhi didn’t know why Imperial Doctor Zhao knew that the water here was good. In short, no one cared about the water in this well after the tap water was connected. It was not until many years later that the water quality of this well was tested. After it became a "selenium well", everyone rushed to fetch water, even if they climbed uphill. In fact, Zhou Zhi really wants to do a popular science, that is, the human body can only absorb selenium through selenium-rich foods. The mineral selenium in spring water cannot be directly absorbed by the human body, so drinking selenium-rich spring water does not actually help the body much.
“There are several wells in Jiachuan.” Jiang Shuyi said.
"That's right, not to mention the countless wells in the surrounding countryside, there are several famous ones in the city." Zhou Zhi nodded: "The most famous one should be the Sifang Well in Renjiagou. That well is not deep, only more than half a meter. , but very big, almost one meter long on a side Half, enough to provide water for the residents of Renjiagou Street.”
“There is also the water in our school, but the water contains fluoride and is not drinkable. It can only be used for washing clothes and cleaning.”
“This well The well outside the weather station is actually quite famous. The well itself is not much. The main thing is that it is well repaired, with a stone platform, a well railing, and carved flowers and words. It is very important here.”
“This place is very important. Oh, why is it so important? ”
“Because this is where the Jiachuan culture was in the old days. The building above the stone steps we just walked through was a teacher training school for cultivating local teachers. In fact, it was a Confucian Temple in the past. ”< br>
"The Confucian Temple is the place where Confucius is worshiped. Next to it is the Academy. At that time, it was the highest academic institution in Jiachuan, and this well was for them to drink from."
"There are camphor trees on the top of this hill. , is the best material for book boxes, because it contains volatile camphor oil, so it is insect-proof. ”
"And there is a very strange place, Shuyi, have you noticed?"
"What is strange?"
"The terrain here is quite high compared to the surroundings, and this well The surface of the water is very shallow, so the question arises—where does this water come from?”
"Eh? I don't think so even if I don't tell you, it's true." Jiang Shuyi looked around in surprise: "The water level of this well - it's almost, almost on the top of the mountain."
Zhou Zhi placed the well The dead branches on the edge of the stone platform were pushed aside, revealing a section of stone slab with the upper part of it exposed. Engraved on the water tank: "Look, this is the channel for water delivery. Pump the water out and pour it into the water tank. The water will flow all the way to the training school below, where it will be connected with a stone jar, and you will have water to drink."
"But where did this water come from?" Jiang Shuyi still didn't understand.
Zhou Zhi pointed to a mountain range in the distance outside the forest: "There, Mount Anle. Legend has it that there is a spring under this well, which is connected to the spring in Liu Zhen Cave on Mount Anle."
"But last time you said Anleshan was fifteen miles away from the city. This is amazing."
"It's very miraculous, but what's even more miraculous is that someone can actually find this place and know that a well can be drilled here, right?"
"Indeed." Jiang Shuyi nodded: "They can find it so accurately. There must be some way. Is it recorded in ancient books? ”
“The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs” There are a few, but overall there are not many records, but there are more proverbs. For example, "The water never dries out." br>
“What is the treasure land of Zuoji?”
“Just like Yang He’s family.”
"Ah, I understand, it's true!"
"Then, in addition to the old Yang family, there is also the old Wu family in Baimi Township. They are both places with good Feng Shui. I will have to go and see it when I have the opportunity in the future. Go, I heard it’s all useless.”
