Chapter 404: A revolving door
Sun Yanhong and Tian Hongli caused a scene, and there were a lot of people watching.
But not many people came to Chen Ling Farm for dinner.
The old couple Wang Cunye and Wang Susu were also there at that time. They all shouted for everyone to come over for dinner, but few people were willing to follow.
In the end, a few people who had good relations with Chen Ling went together with several cadres from the brigade.
Knowing that Chen Ling was going to prepare a banquet of river fresh food, with local fish and shrimp cooking, Wang Jusheng called Wang Lixian and Chen Dazhi without saying a word, and went to the reservoir to touch some crayfish and came back.
This thing is delicious and goes well with meals. It is very suitable for making when there are many people.
Many people in the village are thinking about this.
No one is willing to add heavy oil and so many seasonings, so I have never been able to make the taste of Chen Ling's crayfish.
Having this opportunity to eat at Chen Ling’s place today, I naturally didn’t want to miss the crayfish dish.
A group of them went to the reservoir to touch shrimps.
Tian Hongli didn't want to stay with Sun Yanhong, so he wandered around the farm and orchard with several cadres from the brigade.
For a while, I looked at the beehives in the orchard, for a while I looked at the fish and shrimps in the ditch, and for a while I went to the fish pond to observe the fish.
While wandering around, Tian Hongli briefly chatted with several cadres of the brigade to get to know each other.
However, after walking around for a while, the conversation between the two parties became secondary. What surprised Tian Hongli even more was the quality of the fish on the farm.
Whether it is ornamental fish or ordinary fish and shrimps in the water channels, just from the appearance, you can clearly feel that they are different from those in the village.
“The fish here in Fugui are extraordinary. We also asked him how he raises them. He said that they feed the fish with the leftover distiller’s grains and medicinal dregs from their own brewing, mixed with grass feed. . ”
“Yes, the rich father-in-law gave him a secret recipe. Rich people rushed to buy the medicinal wine he brewed. The medicinal effect is very good, and the remaining lees are also extraordinary.”
"Oh, we can't get such good things, we can't raise such good fish."
"..."
Tian Hongli was silent after hearing this, and just thought in his heart: This brother Chen really has some skills that are not known to others, and the wine grains must not be simple either.
But he has no intention of exploring right now. Chen Ling’s dog is watching closely.
With Erhei's particularly nosy temperament, how could he not keep an eye on them when there were so many of them wandering around his home?
I had already taken Coyotito outside to stare at them.
This is why Xiaojin felt relieved and followed Heiwa to play with Ruirui all day long.
There's nothing I can do about it, the puppies are too busy, so there's no need for them to worry about it.
Just concentrate on raising the baby.
Tian Hongli was hanging out with the village cadres, while Sun Yanhong was sitting with Wang Susu outside the kitchen, choosing vegetables and entertaining Ruirui.
"Rui Rui, tell aunt what your name is?"
Wang Susu now also knows that this woman is trying to get close to her family, but she has always been kind to others and is greeted with a smile. Naturally, she won't show off to others.
Then he chatted with her about simple household matters.
It’s just that Ruirui was not interested in her and ignored her no matter how much she teased her. He just let Heiwa and Xiaojin be surrounded by two big dogs. He would ride on Heiwa and climb on Xiaojin. He took his own small toys and arranged them in a long row on the heads and bodies of the two dogs.
The two dogs showed no impatience at all. They lay on the ground obediently and allowed the little thing to fiddle with them back and forth.
He also put his big head close to the ground and stuck out his tongue, for fear that the toys Ruirui placed on it would fall.
Sun Yanhong also looked at it interestingly, and gradually began to sincerely admire Ruirui and these two loyal and sensible dogs.
I think Ruirui, the little baby, is cute, and I also think that these two big dogs can take good care of the baby, which is very rare and rare.
In her opinion, this kind of performance is much more lovable than hunting in the mountains.
After a while, Wang Jusheng and the others came back from scratching the shrimp.
Tian Hongli and several brigade cadres also returned to the farm to help wash and clean the crayfish.
River fresh food in the wild should be washed carefully several times.
As the weather gets warmer, there are more parasites in the water.
It took them a long time to clean up just this big basin of crayfish.
"My dear, Fugui cooks so fast, faster than the cooks in the village. He just finished cleaning up the shrimps, and he has almost finished cooking two large tables by himself."
"Of course. When his family built a new house in the village, they didn't hire a cook. Fugui did it all by himself. Do you think it can be worse than the cook for weddings and weddings?"
These days The cadres of this brigade are all very old. Although they are cadres and take care of some things, they are actually farmers in the out-and-out, and they do their work very efficiently.
But when I looked into the kitchen, I couldn't help but click my tongue.
Chen Ling’s dish is not only cooked quickly, but also beautiful and very fragrant.
The fish and shrimp are so fishy, but the ones he made smell more fragrant than other meats, so fragrant that it chokes your nose and makes you want to sneeze.
Sun Yanhong has never eaten at Chen Ling's house.
I was really looking forward to it when I smelled the fragrance today. I no longer cared about getting close to Wang Susu and his wife. I got up and stood outside the kitchen, smelling the fragrance, and watched Chen Ling cooking.
Tian Hongli twitched his nose, smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen, and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Chen is so good at cooking, why doesn't everything he cooks taste delicious? How can he tell the quality of the fish?"
Chen Ling's ears are so sharp. After hearing his muttering, he put the dishes into the porcelain basin and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Boss Tian. Except for old turtles and shrimps, all other fish are There are many ways to make one fish, two or three. In order to let you taste it well, I specially made a light version. Some only added some salt. The thin-scaled fish has delicious fish meat, and even the salt is not included. Not much.”
“You’ll know after you taste it.”
When Tian Hongli heard that, he knew that Chen Ling was confident in his own fish, so he praised it. , saying that Chen Ling is careful and considerate.
Little Sheep and Wang Lixian were standing together. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Boss Tian, it's just my uncle Fugui. How can anyone else have such skills? How many things can I make for you?" You taste it? If it were us, we don’t know how to cook anything. If you want to taste it, it would be nice to give you some firewood and let you grill two fish.”
Everyone laughed when they heard it and said that's what happened.
After interacting with the villagers a lot, the little sheep gradually became familiar with them and talked more.
Wang Lixian glanced at this kid, turned to Tian Hongli and said: "Bo Ming is joking with you, but we were reluctant to use oil to make it before, and we still used this method. How many eels and loaches can we catch? After stripping the fish, pick up some firewood and throw it into the fire to roast it. The same goes for other fish, and the fish scales are not removed." Tian Hongli handed him a cigarette and asked blankly: "Just roast it like this, won't it smell fishy? ?”
“It’s fishy, but it depends on the season of the fish and the firewood you use to grill it...”
Wang Lixian took the cigarette, and the little sheep quickly came over to light it, and then he continued: "When I was a kid, I was greedy for food. I picked some pine branches, bamboo, and some grass leaves and bark with a little flavor. It can remove the fishy smell. Later, when I grew up, I had some sauce at home. Every time I wanted to eat it, I would steal some sauce and bake it with the sauce. It tastes great when baked.”
Tian Hongli suddenly understood and gave him a thumbs up: "Oh, this is good, this is good."
Poke his head into the kitchen again: "Brother Chen, you have a fire pit here, how about we grill it later?" Two fish, this sounds like it can better taste the original flavor of the fish.”
He was actually listening to Wang Lixian’s lecture, and smelling the fragrance constantly wafting from the kitchen, he was a little greedy. .
"Okay, there happen to be two fish left, so I won't cook them. You can take them out and bake them."
Chen Ling pointed to the two killed grass carp and herring in the bamboo basket and asked him to take it, and he turned to making crayfish.
"Hey, okay, let me bake it and try to see if it tastes good or not?" Tian Hongli carried the fish out, and a group of people started tinkering in the fire pit outside the kitchen.
There is firewood, a fire pit, everything is ready, and the fish can be grilled very quickly.
After a lot of work, the two fishes were grilled. They planned to taste the fish without adding anything first. If it didn't work, they would eat it with some sauce.
After tasting it, it turned out to be really good.
"The fish here in Fugui is good, otherwise he wouldn't have the confidence to tell you that the price is too low."
"Well, what Brother Xian said is that when fish is grilled, it doesn't taste like this. Not that young either.”
Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng spoke for Chen Ling whenever they had the chance.
Tian Hongli has nothing to refute, because the facts speak for themselves. This fish indeed tastes better than fish from other places.
It is rare to have this taste without adding any seasonings.
He still has this bit of knowledge.
They were tasting the grilled fish, and Sun Yanhong had no intention of approaching them. She just helped Wang Susu and Er Lao set the table and served the dishes from the kitchen basin.
"Fugui, Uncle Cunye, you guys should try it too, this grilled fish is really good."
"I won't taste it anymore, come here quickly, it's time to eat."
Chen Ling took off her apron and said hello: "We have to wait a while for the crayfish. This shrimp is fragrant and spicy. Let's eat it later. Eat this first, and then eat other things and it will be tasteless."
< br>
Today's meal is almost all fresh river food, including domestic fish, eels, loaches, crayfish, and turtles. They are made into various dishes and fill two tables.
Everyone could not wait to smell the fragrance.
Not caring about being polite, they all found a seat to sit down.
After saying a few simple words, pouring the wine, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Wang Jusheng had a similar meal a few days ago. While eating and drinking, he happily introduced it to everyone.
"Jusheng, you know so much, you have to eat at rich families."
"That's right, I think you have eaten all the good things."
These cadres The sour words made Wang Jusheng feel very proud.
But soon he realized something was wrong. These people were talking to him without stopping with chopsticks in their hands.
"Hey, Uncle Haiyun, how can you eat like this? You even picked up the plate and started drinking. Boss Tian and Boss Sun from the city are both here. Aren't you afraid of people laughing at you?"
Tian Hongli and Sun Yanhong really didn't care about making fun of others.
It was the first time for both of them to have dinner at Chen Ling's house.
With a few dishes in their mouths, the two of them didn't even think about competing secretly, and just moved their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and eat.
Tian Hongli’s performance was even worse.
Before the table was served, I could still show off the manners of a city boss. As soon as I sat down and took the food into my mouth, everything changed immediately. I just felt that these fish and shrimps, even those cooked in salt water, had a different taste. Incredibly delicious.
"Boss Tian, if you want to eat more vegetables, you have to drink more. It's the same with everyone. If you want to eat more, you have to drink more."
Wang Laishun said in a joking tone at this time.
Today we are mainly here to talk about things. We can use the atmosphere at the wine table to talk about things, but we can’t just eat and drink.
When these people saw that the food at Chen Ling's house was like hungry wolves, they didn't even bother to talk. This is not the way to talk.
"No problem, come on, Brother Chen, let me toast you first. I have decided on your deal. You can quote your price for your fish and shrimp. I will take it away for you this time."
"Secretary Wang, let me toast you too."
In order to eat a few more chopsticks, Tian Hongli kept raising his glass and toasting to everyone. After drinking one glass, he started to eat hard.
After a while, my face turned red from drinking.
When Chen Ling brought the crayfish, the hot and refreshing crayfish, as soon as he took it into his mouth, was spicy and mixed with the alcohol, and it was pushed up from the throat, directly to the old man The boy choked with tears.
He kept shouting: "How do you make this shrimp? How can you do this? It's fragrant and spicy, it's so delicious."
While shouting, I kept using my chopsticks. It was so spicy that I couldn't help but shed tears and snot. I hurriedly used paper twice, and then I started eating and drinking again.
Everyone was stunned for a while.
Soon, because he drank too fast, he started to blush and start talking nonsense.
I hugged Wang Laishun and called him brother for a while and grandpa for a while, saying that he looked like his grandpa. When I saw the old man, I wanted to see my own grandfather. He also talked about how he followed his grandpa when he was a child.
Don't talk about things like this, let everyone watch the fun and laugh.
Moreover, he made Wang Laishun unable to sit or stand. He just smiled bitterly and said to everyone: "This food is too delicious, but it's not good. You see, it's all a show-off for Boss Tian."
