Chapter 113 Teacher Tony is online
He could play the flute when he was a child, but he was limited to simple tunes, such as "Little Star" and "Insects Flying".
But now that he has become a transcendent person, he practices advanced breathing techniques every day, and controls his breath like a spiritual fish. Naturally, he no longer plays such childish nursery rhymes.
No matter how complicated the playing technique is, there are no secrets in front of him, and he can master it easily.
As the saying goes: if one method is unified, all methods will be unified, and all things will be harmonious.
"The road of life is like a long road with sweet dreams. The road is windy and frosty, and the wind and frost hit your face dry. In the world of mortals, sweet dreams have many directions..."
A bamboo flute version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" made the dog and the little fox mesmerized.
Later, Li Xiang tried some familiar pop music such as "The Grave of Infatuation", "Beautiful Lady Accompanying the Lonely Lantern", and the theme song of Fairy Sword 3 "Love in All Life", especially "Love in All Life". As soon as the flute sounded, Li Xiang felt like he was Sword flying.
As for those traditional famous songs, such as "Travel to Suzhou", "Spring Arrives in Xiangjiang River", and "Raising the Whip to Urge the Horses to Carry Grain", he has never read the music scores and is not familiar with the melodies, so he cannot play them yet.
……
In the evening, after Li Xiang finished playing the flute, he came over to turn the salted fish over. This is to marinate evenly and add more flavor, so you have to turn it every night, flip the top to the bottom, and then turn the bottom to the top.
The big fish is put in a large tank for pickling, and is placed on the edge of the corridor in the yard. It is covered with a large wooden lid, and stones are pressed on the wooden lid to ensure that no mice can sneak in and eat.
However, usually no mice dare to come to Li Xiang's house, but isn't this just a case of not being afraid of ten thousand?
These big grass carps are so big that flipping them over is a laborious task, so Li Xiang has to do it. If Li Xiang is not at home, grandma can only pickle some smaller fish, such as the kind that weighs five or six pounds each.
Sichuan-style cured fish is very particular in its preparation and is famous for its unique aroma and taste. The secret lies in spices and high-quality liquor.
After cleaning the big grass carp, not only the internal organs but also the black membrane must be cleaned. These black membranes and blood are the source of the fishy odor. If not cleaned, the flavor of the cured fish will be affected.
Rinse with flowing mountain spring water, hang up and drain. If there are residual water stains, use absorbent paper to absorb them. Then, use high-strength white wine to brush the whole body of the fish.
Every part must be brushed, firstly to disinfect and sterilize, so that the shelf life of the cured fish will be longer, and secondly, to remove the fishy smell and add fragrance, making the pickled cured fish more delicious.
While Li Xiang was doing these things, grandma was frying spices in the kitchen, including more than ten kinds of peppercorns, dried chili peppers, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., and stir-fried with refined salt to fully release the fragrance of the spices.
The amount of salt used is about 20 grams of salt per pound of fish, but there is no need to add iodized salt and low-sodium salt. The cured fish pickled with these two salts has a poor taste and the storage time is not as good as ordinary salt.
Apply the fried spices to the fish. Just like the white wine before, apply it to every part, inside and outside. Then put the fish into a clean, water-free and oil-free large tank. The excess spices and salt can be Sprinkle on top and cover with a layer of plastic wrap to seal.
The marinating process takes about 3 to 5 days, and it needs to be turned every day.
The reason why Li Xiang placed the big vat in the yard was to save trouble. After pickling, it needs to be hung to dry, and then hung in the cloister.
The cloister is ventilated, cool, sheltered from rain, and large enough for hanging.
In fact, cured fish is not suitable for exposure to the sun, as it will lose its taste after being exposed to the sun.
Li Xiangjia's pickled fish is only air-dried. Pass a clean rope through the head of the fish, and use a bamboo support of appropriate length to open the fish body. This can dry it better. It usually takes ten and a half days to air-dry. Just a few months. Then transfer it to the cellar, where it can be stored for a long time.
Compared with fresh fish, cured fish has a unique flavor, especially in spring, it is simply a delicacy.
As for New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year, basically no one eats it, which means "every year there is more than enough". Who eats bacon and fish during the Chinese New Year? There are so many delicious dishes.
……
The lady at the business office in town called Li Xiang and said that there was a promotion last year and there was a broadband upgrade event. From 300M to 1000M, you only need to add 300 yuan more, which is equivalent to 25 yuan more a month, and you can enjoy thousands of broadband broadband upgrades. megabit bandwidth.
Li Xiang originally spent 816 yuan on 300M broadband to buy broadband. Now he adds 300 yuan to it, and it costs 1,116 yuan.
Of course, if the calculation is based on a full year, the previous months must be deducted.
This price-performance ratio is naturally very good. He had no money before, so he only covered it for one year, but now he simply increased it to three years. When the sales office lady heard about it, I went. I thought it was just a promotion, but it turned out that I was offered a three-year contract. This was a great performance, so I took this opportunity to chat with Li Xiang for a while, saying that I had been paying attention to Li Xiang for a long time. On the self-media account, every video he posts gets likes and views.
She also said that Li Xiang is the biggest Internet celebrity in the county, and it is her honor to know Li Xiang and provide him with broadband.
Li Xiang expressed his great honor that the young lady in the business office was so eloquent.
Then the person who came to upgrade the broadband was still the same old man from last time. Even though he always installs broadband in the countryside, and his clothes are rather old-fashioned, his profession is very high-end, and he is called a "smart home engineer."
After upgrading the broadband, the Internet speed is much faster. Li Xiang rode a tricycle to the county town again and bought a new TV for his grandma. It cost only more than 4,000 yuan for a 75-inch 4K high-definition full-screen smart TV. It must be said that TVs are really cheap now.
The previous one was too old, it was a 23-inch small TV, and it was quite expensive when I bought it.
It’s just that there are too many TV apps today, the operations are too cumbersome, and they are very unfriendly to the elderly. Fortunately, Li Xiang is basically at home and can help her operate.
After Li Xiang set up the default interface, he taught his grandma a few simple shortcut keys. Which one to press first, then which one, it would be much better.
"This house should be repaired or rebuilt after the Chinese New Year." Li Xiang looked at the 75-inch TV and was dissatisfied. The main reason was that the house was too small and old, and it didn't match the big TV.
In fact, it's not that he can't afford bigger ones, such as 100 inches, 120 inches, 150 inches, 200 inches, etc., but the house has limitations.
It is imperative to build a new house, and we will live in it for at least ten years. Wouldn't it be nice to let grandma enjoy a big villa in her later years?
And this is a serious mountain view villa.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
But it's too late this year. We still have to go through the formalities, draw design drawings, buy various materials, and hire a construction team. We can only wait until after the New Year.
The third wife’s house has been repaired a long time ago. She only lives there alone, so her three daughters and sons-in-law built her a small bungalow with a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The total area does not exceed 60 square meters. Square, so it can be repaired quickly.
If Li Xiang wants to build a house, it will need at least 500 square meters. He will also marry a wife and have children in the future.
When Li Xiang saw how big the homestead could be approved, he naturally hoped that the bigger the better.
His current backyard actually takes up a lot of space from his neighbors, but those neighbors have all moved away and bought houses to live outside, and they probably won't return to this remote place.
Even if you come back, just give it back to the other party and give you some compensation.
Anyway, most of his backyard is just used for growing vegetables or is just open space.
As the New Year approaches, haircuts are a big problem for the elderly in the village. There used to be a barber in the village, but he moved to the county town and rarely comes back. If the old people in Lijia Village want to get a haircut, they have to go to town or other villages, and transportation is extremely inconvenient.
And they are older and less willing to go to those barber shops.
The main reason is that today's barber shops have opaque and high prices. They start at a casual price of thirty or fifty, and they are not willing to accept the elderly.
Because the elderly in rural areas simply do their hair, neither dyeing nor perming, nor using high-end hair care products, nor applying for a credit card, which takes up time and has low profits, the attitude of barbershops is naturally not very good. Over time, the elderly They were unhappy.
Li Xiang thought about solving this problem for the elderly, so when he went to the county to buy new year's goods, he bought a set of haircut tools.
He doesn't know how to do haircuts that are too complicated, but simple short haircuts are still fine. In the apocalypse, in underground cities, because there were few barbershops and expensive prices, everyone struggled to survive and cut each other's hair.
When Li Xiang came back, he greeted people he met along the way and said that he had bought hairdressing tools and that he would give free haircuts to the elderly in the village in front of his house this afternoon. No charge!
Of course, he also joked and said that if the cut is not good, don’t blame him.
Everyone just laughed, some cuts would have been good, why should I blame you? It’s too late to thank you.
Thanks to "Skin Cut" for the 500-point reward. Thanks to "08a" for the tip.
