Chapter 15 Naming the Golden Retriever [Please vote]
"Xiao Li, can you unload the vermicelli in the yard?"
In the yard of the B&B, Wang Shengli was busy with a few villagers, holding a cigarette in his mouth. While unloading the truck, he also moved the chestnuts that Li Yu had brought back to the storage room.
Li Yu brought tea from the room for everyone to drink:
"Okay, I'll take you away in the next two days, it won't be a problem...Uncle Wang came to drink tea, newly brewed Lapsang Souchong .”
Wang Shengli did not take the cup. Instead, he and several villagers moved two large iron basins from the car, which were still covered with white cloth, which was mysterious.
“These two pots are the skin dregs that I brought with me when making vermicelli. They are given to you. If you like them, we can make more next time.”
The skin dregs are a specialty of Yinzhou. The preparation is quite simple. The newly made vermicelli is mixed with seasonings such as onion, ginger, five-spice powder, and salt while it is hot, and then put into a mold and pressed. After cooling, the vermicelli will form a ball like jelly.
But unlike jelly, the rind still retains the texture of vermicelli. It is very delicious whether fried or stewed.
In the past, when we were poor, skin scraps were used to replace meat.
Although life is affluent now, Yinzhou people still maintain the habit of eating skin dregs, and have even developed many new ways to eat it.
Li Yu has been craving for skin dregs these days. When he saw these two big basins, he immediately decided to fry a pot in the evening to satisfy his craving.
The big iron basin was brought to the kitchen storage room. Wang Shengli and others sat down and drank tea for a while, then said goodbye and left.
"What? Are you hungry now?"
Sent everyone off, Li Yu saw the big golden retriever circling around the chestnuts, and decided to steam some for this guy to try, while using a pan Make some sugar-roasted chestnuts.
He did what he said. He filled half a basin of chestnuts and washed them twice to clean away the dust on the outside.
Pick up a kitchen knife, make a cross cut on the surface of the chestnuts, pour them into a pot and blanch them, peel off the shell, then divide more than half of them and spread them flat on the steaming plate, and put them in the pot for steaming.
After the chestnuts were steamed, he cut some pork belly and made chestnut roast pork with the remaining chestnuts and meat. He would fry some skin residue and stir-fry some garlic sprouts later. Isn’t this again? What a delicious meal.
While the meat was stewed, he steamed a pot of rice and took a few photos with his mobile phone. Together with the photos he took while picking chestnuts, they formed a nine-square grid and posted it in his circle of friends:
" There was a big harvest of chestnuts, and I stewed them as soon as I got home. I will try the home version of stir-fried chestnuts in a pan later.”
After sending it, he sat in the restaurant and watched TV leisurely.
At the archaeological team station, Zhou Ruotong finished sorting out the information on Tomb No. 3 and took a rare early shift.
Changing out of her camouflage uniform and simply tying her hair into a ponytail, she began to think about where to have dinner.
It would be great if my best friend was here. We could go eat the tofu fish from yesterday. Unfortunately, that damn girl is diving in Tahiti and will not return to China in a short time.
After having a partner, I became more and more obsessed with sex.
"How about eating something and going back to read a book."
Zhou Ruotong put on her bag, picked up the car keys on the table, and left the office while checking Moments, preparing to drive back to Guanlan Mingshu Community.
While watching, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Yufa’s circle of friends.
Wow, chestnut!
Having loved eating chestnuts since she was a child, she was immediately attracted by the photos.
I thought I would do something serious if I didn't dig up the bandits' treasures, but I didn't expect to lead the dog to collect chestnuts. With this attitude, how could the B&B have any business?
But these chestnuts look good in size, but I don’t know if they taste good.
After reading this post, Zhou Ruotong clicked on Li Yu's profile picture and looked at the previous posts again.
Looking at it, I saw Li Yufa’s video.
“Yeah, it’s quite beautiful here, why is there no business?”
Although the video editing is very average and the shooting is not very particular about camera movements, it still cannot conceal the exquisiteness of the scenery. Even this amateur shooting method makes the B&B appear more real.
Unlike some B&Bs, although the promotional video is very high-end, it makes consumers feel like they are being deceived because of too many filters.
“Since there are delicious food and beautiful scenery, let’s go to Li Yu’s B&B and pick up some food and toys for the majestic big dog.”
Make up your mind. Finally, she came to the parking lot, drove a modified Suzuki Jimny, and left the station.
When he came to a pet supplies store, Zhou Ruotong bought Frisbees, chew chews and other toys that dogs like, and also bought a box of imported dog cans, intending to improve the food for the golden retriever.
With all her purchases completed, she got in the car again, set up the navigation using the location that Li Yu posted in her circle of friends, and drove the compact Jimny straight to the Fengming Valley Scenic Area.
In the B&B restaurant, Li Yu waited for the chestnuts to be steamed before taking them out of the pot.
The unique sweet smell of chestnuts makes the dog impatient and keeps circling around.
"It's ready for you to eat, don't worry."
Li Yu washed some more chestnuts, marked them with a cross knife one by one, put them into a pan, and added water , oil, sugar and other ingredients, follow the tutorial posted online by Boss Lin of Linji Food to start making the home version of sugar-fried chestnuts.
This method is relatively simple, and even people who don’t know how to cook can easily master it.
While Li Yu was waiting for the chestnuts to be ready, a car horn suddenly sounded outside.
Huh?
Why did someone suddenly come at this point?
"Gouzi, go see who it is." He ordered the golden retriever, then turned down the heat on the stove and left the restaurant with Gouzi.
When he arrived at the gate, Li Yu saw a Suzuki Jimny modified like a small tank parked outside. Next to the car was Zhou Ruotong, who was holding a SLR to take pictures of the scenery.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun shrouded her body, giving her a bit of unearthly beauty.
"Miss Zhou, why are you here?"
Li Yu had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect this beautiful woman to come to the door suddenly.
No wonder those micro-business people are constantly refreshing their screens all day long. It seems that advertising in the circle of friends is really effective. How about I also refresh my screens tomorrow?
In the past, I couldn’t get used to the swipe-screen advertisements of WeChat business. Now seeing Zhou Ruotong suddenly coming to the door, Li Yu understands WeChat business and even wants to develop further.
Laugh at micro-business, understand micro-business, and become micro-business.
Following in the footsteps of our predecessors is indeed the common essence of mankind.
Zhou Ruotong faced the sunset and mountains in the west, adjusted the focus and aperture, and captured this perfect moment with a click:
"The scenery here is so beautiful, why don't we promote it more?"
After saying that, she changed the angle and continued shooting, and also took advantage of the setting sun to take pictures of the small building of the B&B.
Li Yu smiled bitterly. In this era where traffic is king, any publicity requires spending money. Now that he has food and clothing problems, how can he have such spare money?
To put it bluntly, if this place really became popular, Fengming Valley would probably attract more greedy eyes.
I might also be implicated by then. Before Sun Facai comes back, it is better to be safe for the time being.
He was about to talk about the current dilemma he was facing when he suddenly remembered that there were chestnuts on the stove and said:
"You take pictures first, and I'll go to the kitchen to see if the chestnuts are ready..."
said After that, he went straight to the kitchen.
The golden retriever tilted his head and looked at the conversation between the two, his eyes full of doubts.
Why are the conversations between these two people not on the same channel at all?
Zhou Ruotong was looking for an angle to take pictures of the B&B. When he saw the dog squatting at the gate with his head tilted, he quickly raised his camera and took a picture:
"What a good dog, what is your name? If you don't know, just call him dog." "Really?"
"Woo~~~~~"
The golden retriever responded, then stood up and walked towards the yard. After taking two steps, he turned his face and motioned for Zhou Ruotong to follow. superior.
“Ha, this dog is really interesting.”
Zhou Ruotong followed and, under the leadership of the golden retriever, began to visit the entire yard.
The layout of the courtyard is full of ancient style, and many small details are exquisitely designed. It has the delicacy of Soviet-style gardens and the solemnity and grandeur of northern gardens.
She was walking and taking pictures. While she was busy, Li Yu came out of the kitchen, holding the newly cooked sugar-roasted chestnuts in one hand, and the golden retriever's portion in the other hand, which was now dry. , ready to eat.
“Gouzi, your chestnuts are ready, come and eat them.”
As soon as the golden retriever heard this, he immediately stopped acting as a tour guide, quickly ran to Li Yu’s side, and dived into the dog basin. Let’s eat inside.
Zhou Ruotong followed and asked curiously:
“Why is such a good dog always called Gouzi? You didn’t give it a name?”
“No, I don’t know what to name it. It’s a good name, I’ve been calling it this way... Miss Zhou, try my cooking method, it’s made according to Boss Lin’s instructions, I don’t know how it tastes.”
Zhou Ruotong turned off the camera and buttoned it up. Lens cover, said with a smile:
"Boss Lin's tutorial is definitely no problem. Even a kitchen novice like me can follow and make a few recipes, which made my grandfather so happy that he was rewarded with a suite on the spot."
Li Yu:! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I would like to ask, does our grandfather still lack a grandson?
It doesn’t matter whether I have a house or not, I just suddenly want to cook for the elderly.
He put his thoughts away and saw that Zhou Ruotong liked the golden retriever very much, so he said:
"I see that you are good at naming, how about you help me choose a name for my dog?" ”
The last time I took notes on WeChat, Ms. Zhou’s classical Chinese writing was perfect. Now, it’s time to use your strengths.
Zhou Ruotong pinched a chestnut, peeled it open and tasted it:
"Well, it's delicious. This chestnut is really fragrant... I study ancient Chinese, and I can name people. Dog names are too confusing and inappropriate.”
There are many names for dogs in ancient times, such as Huang Er, Di Yang, Lei Qui, Huo Tu, Huo Er, Han Lu, Guo, etc. Suitable for modern times.
She thought about it seriously and suddenly had a choice in her mind:
"My best friend is said to be a genius at naming, why not let her help me think of one."
After saying that, Zhou Ruotong took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the golden retriever, and sent it a message with the note: [富[Sister]’s WeChat friends...
