Datang Nongwang

Chapter 144
When the pressurized well was just built.

The villagers in Lizhuang come to see the strange things every day.

now.

It's my family's turn again.

Everyone couldn't understand Li Chongyuan's explanation, but they didn't keep asking the question of pressing the water well a thousand times.

After all, Li Chongyuan still needs to deal with ticks at the pressurized well.

The old lady stared at Li Chongyuan's skillful movements, if it wasn't for watching Li Chongyuan grow up, she would have thought that Li Chongyuan had been doing this kind of work since he was a child.

Qiao Su and the others also squatted on the ground, helping Li Chongyuan.

However, Li Chongji and his brothers seemed to be doing nothing, helping to press the water, wanting to see what happened to the well.

After a long time, Li Chongji said to Li Chongyuan: "Fourth brother, can we also build a pressurized well like this in our mansion in Chang'an City, it is convenient and clean, and we don't have to worry about anyone falling into the well .”

"Brother, don't ask me about this matter. If you want to ask, you have to ask Auntie. As long as Aunt agrees, you can get a pressurized well. However, digging a well in the mansion is troublesome." Li Chongyuan arrived It's okay.

Although this pressurized well is not difficult, if you want to dig a well in Chang'an City, even if the Li family is a clan, you can't just dig it casually.

That has to be reported to the county government, Wuhou and other government offices.

Just like the last time the back kitchen in Li Chongyuan's mansion was set on fire by Wan'er.

It took three days to report it, and it was rebuilding the house.

It is even more troublesome to report the matter of digging a well. After all, this is Chang'an City, and not everyone can start digging at will.

Li Chongji, who got the words, looked at the old lady, saw the old lady nodded and replied: "Fourth brother, mother thinks this pressurized well is really good, when do you think you will be free to go home and make one?"

"Okay, Auntie nodded, I can not do it, but we have to wait until the crops are harvested." Li Chongyuan looked at the old lady, and seeing that the old lady nodded, he quickly agreed to the matter.

in fact.

Even if Li Chongyuan didn't need to go back to press the water well, it could be done.

Dadu and San Dezi are completely competent.

As for the pressurized well in his small courtyard, Dadu dug it out, and Li Chongyuan didn't even give a hand to the whole process, and the whole process was completed by Dadu and San Dezi.

Anyway, the family wants to build a pressurized well, so it doesn't matter.

It didn't take long.

The ticks are already packed.

After Li Chongyuan told the old lady, he went straight into the kitchen and started cooking tick fish.

Cooking of tick fish.

It is also very particular.

In the absence of chili peppers, Li Chongyuan managed to get some dogwood and Polygonum spicosa.

This can be regarded as something that can be regarded as a pepper at the moment.

The old lady has a light taste, but for the tick fish dish, apart from stir-frying, stewing soup is the most nourishing way.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan made five different kinds of tick fish.

Stir frying is essential.

Having lived in Li Zhuang for so long, whether it is necessary seasonings or some things needed in the kitchen, I have prepared a lot.

Even the rice wine, which is the most difficult to get, was bought in a jar.

Yingbin Building's business is so good, there are a lot of seasonings or spare ingredients to be used.

Therefore, there is basically no shortage of what Li Chongyuan wants to eat and what he wants to do.

Even if it is missing, it can be replaced by other items.

Stir-fried tick fish, stewed tick fish with wild boar feet, tick fish porridge, fried tick fish with garlic, deep-fried tick fish.

Five dishes took Li Chongyuan a long time.

Fortunately, he has Dadu and San Dezi as assistants, otherwise, Li Chongyuan would be too busy to survive in just this one hour.

"Wow, it smells so good, fourth brother, what are you making delicious?" As the dishes were about to be ready, Wan'er suddenly ran into the kitchen like a mud monkey.

Li Chongyuan took a look, shook his head and said: "Why don't you hurry up and wash it, how will you eat in a while after you look like this?"

When Li Chongyuan spoke, he still didn't forget to look into the small courtyard.

But when Li Chongyuan didn't see the old lady in the small courtyard, he guessed that the old lady must have gone to the main room, so he understood why Wan'er was not scolded by the old lady.

"Hee hee, fourth brother, is this the tick fish you made? It's delicious!" Wan'er didn't care what her fourth brother said at all, and stretched out her hand to fry the tick fish with garlic from the plate on the stove. I squeezed a piece and threw it into my mouth, while chewing, I didn't forget to praise it.

Li Chongyuan saw that Wan'er's hands were so dirty that they were about to ruin all the dishes, so he stretched out his hand and said: "This is for Auntie, you still have mud on your hands, do you want everyone to eat mud? San Dezi, hurry up and take Wan'er to have a wash."

It didn't take long.

The dishes are also ready.

Li Chongyuan directed Dadu to walk into the main room with the dishes.

After the five dishes are on the table.

The old lady and others were curiously waiting for Li Chongyuan's introduction.

Ticks are rarely eaten by everyone.

After all, although there are a lot of these things, they are not on the table of Xungui's family, but are commonplace on the table of ordinary people.

In addition, the fishy smell of ticks is strong, and the method is only a stew.

The nobles really don't like to eat.

Otherwise, Wan'er wouldn't even know what ticks are.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Chongyuan said with a little embarrassment: "Auntie, although everyone eats less tick fish, it is a great tonic, so Auntie should eat it often. This dish is called pig's trotters. Stewed tick fish is the lightest, and it is also the most suitable for my mother to eat."

As Zhong Wen said, he served some porridge and a bowl of soup to the old lady.

"Fourth brother, tick fish is delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious dish." Wan'er saw that her mother had already filled the porridge and soup. up.

Seeing this, the old lady frowned and said coldly: "Wan'er, why are there no rules at all!"

"Aniang, it's rare for everyone to sit together today. In addition, today is the harvest day. The harvest is coming soon. A little bit of etiquette is fine. Aniang, hurry up and eat. Three brothers, please start." He looked a little angry, and quickly comforted him.

After hearing the sound, the old lady had no choice but to give up.

immediately.

Everyone started to eat up.

but.

Except for the old lady and Li Chongyuan, other people are called big eaters.

Even Da Du and San Dezi in the kitchen were holding a big bowl and eating soup cakes.

"Big belly, San Dezi, do you eat such delicious dishes every day? You are so happy, I have never eaten such delicious dishes with the old lady." In the kitchen, the servant was eating delicious food. Tick ​​fish, with a look of exclamation.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao seldom cooks. We usually go to Qiao's house to eat." He ate the food with a big belly and muttered in response.

It's been a long time since I ate a meal made by Li Chongyuan, and it's been a long time since I ate a meal in Yingbinlou.
