The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 825 The Zhao family has taken over the business

A canteen in Yongan Forest Farm.

Usually, before the bell rang for the lunch break, the workers in the cafeteria brought large pots of vegetables and staple food to each window.

As soon as some workers come in, they pass the meal tickets and lunch boxes to the window, and the vegetable cooker will directly pack the rice and vegetables into the lunch boxes for them.

But when the bell rang today, there were only large pots of white rice in front of the windows, but no vegetables.

Li Ruhai, who was stranded in the field after get off work this morning, gritted his chopsticks and stared through the small window at the big pot of braised pork on the big stove in the back kitchen.

Today the cafeteria improved the food, and bought two white pigs from the pioneer production team, one in the first cafeteria and one in the second cafeteria.

After the pork is unloaded, the elbows, tenderloin, and ribs are frozen in the refrigerator for guests to entertain, while the rest of the pork is deboned and cut into braised pork.

But there are too many people in the forest farm, and the braised pork is not enough for everyone, so we have to change the braised pork into pork stewed vermicelli.

As a famous dish in Northeast China, pork stewed vermicelli is very popular.But there is one thing, that is, vermicelli eat soup.Once this dish is out of the pot for a long time, the originally moderately delicious vermicelli will swell and affect the taste, and even the vermicelli will condense together.

In order to satisfy the workers, the canteen cooks the soaked vermicelli separately in a big pot a few minutes before the bell rings.

When the bell rings, the vermicelli are cooked just right. At this time, a large strainer is used to fish them out, slide them quickly in cold water to prevent sticking, and then pour them into the pre-cooked meat.

At this time, Zhao Youcai, Han Dachun, and Han Daming went into battle together, each guarding a cauldron.

Zhao Youcai held a long frying spoon in his right hand and a small frying pan in his left.When the vermicelli was poured into the pot by Xiaogong, Zhao Youcai moved both hands, and kept turning the meat and vermicelli with one spoon and one pot, so that they were mixed as evenly as possible.

At the same time, someone added firewood to the stove pit, and the stove blazed up.

In just a dozen seconds, a little broth at the bottom of the pot began to sizzle and swell as it spun around the edge of the pot.

Seeing the sound of the pot, Zhao Youcai turned his left hand outwards, holding the small pan by his side.

The little apprentice added soy sauce to the small pan for Zhao Youcai. Zhao Youcai moved the small pan to the stewed pork vermicelli, put the spoon in his right hand into the small pan, poured a spoonful of soy sauce into the dish, and poured it into the small pan. Push the middle of the dish and pour all the soy sauce into it.

Then, Zhao Youcai moved the spoon and the pot together again, quickly turning the dishes continuously, so as to evenly color and taste the vermicelli just off the pot.

After the little worker poured the soy sauce, he brought the big basin again, and Zhao Youcai took out the spoon with his right hand and the frying pan with his left hand to serve the vegetables.

A pot of stewed pork vermicelli, for the kind of big pot that one person embraces, filled two and a half pots.

Zhao Youcai threw the small pan to the side, and returned the spoon to an apprentice next to him.

The apprentice was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Master, don't you cook?"

Zhao Youcai didn't speak, but passed the spoon forward again, and the little apprentice quickly caught it, and went to the window to cook for Zhao Youcai.

"Ah! Brother Feng!" Li Ruhai, who had been waiting for a long time at window No. [-], couldn't help being surprised when he saw people, "Where's my uncle?"

"My master has gone to rest." The little apprentice replied, while putting the spoon on the vegetable, picking the piece of meat and pressing down on it.

With this press, one click, two pieces of meat went into the spoon, and the little apprentice did it four or five times in a row, and there were six or seven pieces of meat in the spoon.

Then he poured the meat into Li Ruhai's lunch box, then put a large spoonful of meat and vermicelli into the lunch box, and finally added another half spoonful for Li Ruhai.

"Thank you, Brother Feng!" Li Ruhai left behind a whisper, and left with pork stewed vermicelli and rice.

It can be said that since Zhang Zhanshan's death, Li Ruhai has been so popular in the first and second canteens.

Li Ruhai took the food and sat down at an empty table in the corner. First, he picked up a piece of pork with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he picked up the vermicelli and put it into the rice.

The soup on the vermicelli was broth, and there was soy sauce to enhance the taste, and the white rice was pulled into his mouth, and Li Ruhai puffed up his cheeks and chewed.

While he was eating, Zhou Jianjun came to the window where he was cooking. He looked in and asked in surprise, "Xiao Lizi, where is my dad?"

"Ah, brother-in-law!" At this time, there were too many people cooking, and Li Xiaofeng couldn't pick the meat for Zhou Jianjun, so he put it in a place where there was a lot of meat, and said to Zhou Jianjun while filling it: "My master is tired from the stove, let's go to rest." La."

"Ah..." Zhou Jianjun didn't think much, and left with the food.At this time, in the partitioned room in the back kitchen, Zhao Youcai was sitting at the table smoking a cigarette silently.There was a bowl of white rice and a bowl of braised pork in front of him, but Zhao Youcai never moved his chopsticks.

At this time, in Zhao Youcai's mind, the words Wang Meilan said in the morning always echoed: Youcai fights a siege, the more you fight, the more you lose.

Looking back on what happened this year, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but feel a little tired.

People, when the mind is tired, the body also starts to feel tired.

"Hey!" Zhao Youcai sighed quietly, and took out a Shilin cigarette from the cigarette box next to him.

Zhao Youcai took the nearly burnt cigarette butt in his hand, put the Shilin cigarette he had just drawn into his mouth, and then took the cigarette butt in his hand to another cigarette, and after inhaling and exhaling, the cigarette in Zhao Youcai's mouth caught fire.

After another cigarette, Zhao Youcai pressed the end of the cigarette out casually, and the top-grade stone forest cigarettes in the forest area could not dispel the melancholy in Zhao Youcai's heart at this time.

In this way, Zhao Youcai smoked one cigarette after another.After more than ten minutes, two brothers Han Dachun and Han Daming came in with two bowls each.

As soon as he entered the room, Han Dachun frowned and said, "What are you doing, brother? Did you set fire to the house?"

Daming Han who was following behind him chuckled and said, "My master Sheng is so old that he doesn't even want to eat some meat. This is waiting for us brothers!"

"Come! Come!" Han Dachun put the bowl on the table, turned around and took out half a bottle of Yong'an Bai from the bowl rack, and said to Zhao Youcai, "Let's take a sip and clean up the leftover wine."

Half a bottle of liquor weighs nearly half a catty, and the three of them will share it equally. Each person will have one or two more drinks, so if you don't drink too much, it won't delay your work.

Seeing that Zhao Youcai didn't speak, Han Dachun sat beside him, picked up the cigarette case that Zhao Youcai threw on the table, and said with a smile, "My second brother smokes Shilin every day!"

"Then look!" Daming Han put two small wine cups in front of Zhao Youcai and Han Dachun, and said with a smile, "Who is my master? It's just a big forest area like ours, and my master's family is the largest."

Daming Han poured wine while talking.

When the three-dollar wine cup in front of him was full of wine, Zhao Youcai pinched the cigarette in his left hand, picked up the wine with his right hand, raised his neck and "tsk", and immediately drank the wine.

"What is this for?" At this time Han Dachun saw that something was wrong, he quickly pressed Zhao Youcai's wrist that put down the wine cup, and said, "What's the matter?"

When Han Daming saw this scene, he didn't know what to do with the wine bottle.

"Dachun!" Zhao Youcai turned to Han Dachun and asked, "You have left the village for the past few days, who will say that I have nothing?"

"Huh?" Han Dachun was taken aback by the question, and then reacted, "Isn't she Wang Dalong's wife? Are you talking to her?"

Looking at Han Dachun's appearance, he probably had never heard that catchphrase, Zhao Youcai was a little relieved.

Han Dachun saw that Zhao Youcai's complexion was a little better, and he hurriedly tried to persuade him: "My old man, what are you fussing about with a woman?"

Hearing what Han Dachun said, Zhao Youcai finally said: "This bitch is not a good thing!"

"Exactly!" Han Dachun didn't know that the woman Zhao Youcai was talking about was not the same woman he was talking about.

On the other hand, Daming Han, seeing his master's complexion paled, hurriedly refilled another glass of wine for Zhao Youcai.

But just when the three of them picked up the chopsticks and were about to eat and drink, the white cloth curtain at the door was lifted, and the director of the cafeteria, Zhang Guoqing, stepped into the room, looked at the table for the three of them, and couldn't help but startled and said: "Oh my god, this is even eating. Bring something to drink."

Although Zhang Guoqing is the director, the brothers of the Han family are not afraid of him. Daming Han immediately said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, sit down and have a drink or something."

Zhang Guoqing was also polite, and went to sit opposite Zhao Youcai, while Han Daming got up to get him bowls and chopsticks.

"Hey, Brother Zhang." Suddenly, Han Dachun said to Zhang Guoqing: "You are a pig all the time, I really don't want to eat it."

"Oh my god!" Zhang Guoqing laughed and said, "Are you so crazy now? Pork doesn't taste good anymore?"

"Yeah!" Han Dachun nodded slightly, and said, "Where did you catch this pig? The meat tastes sour."

"If it grows from eating grass, it will be sour." Zhang Guoqing said, and saw Han Dachun's chin point towards Zhao Youcai, and said: "Last month, my second sister-in-law killed the wild boar caught in the mountain by Xiaojun at home. , Give me a piece of that square of meat, that meat is more fragrant than this one."

"Hey?" Speaking of wild boars, Zhang Guoqing thought of something and said to Zhao Youcai, "Youcai, did you say it will snow tomorrow? We have to organize workers to eat after the conference. I thought if you were free, you and your son , how many wild boars do you two go up the mountain?"

"Huh?" Hearing what he said, Zhao Youcai stopped the chopsticks in his hand.

At this time, Zhang Guoqing continued: "What about us, I can't let you work for nothing. You open up the wild boar and bring it up, let's use the scale to see, and I will give you [-] cents for a catty of meat."

"Thirty cents..." Zhao Youcai was slightly taken aback, thinking that he would collect the wild pork that is currently on sale, and a catty of meat costs fifty cents.But that's retail, and it's clean meat.

At this time, Zhang Guoqing only asked for the wild boar to be disemboweled and bled, so that even the belt and bones, even the pig's head and trotters could be sold for money!

Selling meat on the key set is a retail sale, and it may be a day to sell it.But the cafeteria collects meat in large quantities, so just send it here!

Zhao Youcai was a little moved for a while, but he suddenly remembered Wang Meilan's words: If you have money to fight, the more you fight, the more you lose.

"Ah!" Zhao Youcai sighed silently in his heart, and said to Zhang Guoqing, "I just came back from Yongxing, and I feel tired. If not, you can find someone else."

"Who else can I ask?" Zhang Guoqing never thought that Zhao Youcai would refuse. In Zhang Guoqing's perception, if Zhao Youcai knew that wild boars could be sold for money, his eyes should be shining at this time!
"Brother Zhang!" At this moment, Daming Han said from the side: "If my master doesn't go, let him down. I looked at him today, and I felt that he was tired. Just now, my master asked Xiao Li to do the cooking."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Guoqing looked at Daming Han and then at Zhao Youcai, but in the end he didn't insist.

When he was full of wine and food, Zhang Guoqing got up and left.At this time, the lunch break was over, and the workers were chatting with each other, but there was only one young man, who gathered the women who were doing odd jobs in the cafeteria together, and the chatter was in full swing.

Normal men are not willing to make do with women, one is afraid of gossip, and the other is that there is no common topic.

So even if Zhang Guoqing saw this group of people by his side, he was ready to slip away and leave quickly.

But at this moment, he heard Li Ruhai say to one of the women: "Aunt Sun, your brother used that pig when he got married some time ago. Tell me in advance, and I will set it up for you when the time comes."

"Okay, okay." His Aunt Sun nodded quickly when she heard this, "I'll go back and discuss it with your Uncle Sun."

After saying this, Aunt Sun patted Li Ruhai's arm with her hands, and said, "Ruhai, this matter is about to be completed, Auntie, thank you. You know that my family is difficult, but this married woman will marry the family, why not?" We also have to arrange two tables. If the natal guest (qiě) is here, why don’t you pay attention to us.”

"That's right!" Li Ruhai said: "We're not afraid of anything, the key is that my brother of yours will have to walk with his relatives on the other side of the pole in the future, we can't let him lose face!"

Speaking of this, Li Ruhai straightened his chest and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Sun, I will arrange for you when the wild boar arrives."

"Ruhai!" At this time, an elderly woman next to him pulled Li Ruhai and said, "Can you give me a whole pig a year ago? Our uncle wants to treat you."

"Years ago..." Li Ruhai hesitated, and said, "Before the twelfth lunar month, there will be a lot of pigs..."

"Huh?" The speaker didn't understand Li Ruhai's meaning for a while, but then Li Ruhai smiled and said: "Old Aunt Wei, before you get there, why do you have to add ten or eight yuan for a pig?" block."

"Ah, that's okay." Old Aunt Wei smiled and said, "Adding ten or eight yuan is more suitable than them going out to the village to catch that pig."

What she said about catching pigs at this time was different from Zhao Jun and the others catching wild boars.Old Mrs. Wei said that to catch pigs, she went to the pig farmers' homes to catch them, just like the pigs slaughtered in the cafeteria today, they were the ones that had to be paid for.

"Ruhai!" Zhang Guoqing stopped and called out to Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai turned his head and saw that it was him, and walked towards Zhang Guoqing with a smile, and said, "Master Zhang!"

"Come on!" Zhang Guoqing called Li Ruhai aside and asked him, "I just heard from you that you can handle wild boars?"

"Ah!" Li Ruhai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's wrong, Uncle Zhang? Your family also wants to treat guests and do business?"

"My family doesn't need it." Zhang Guoqing gestured inward, and said, "We need to use it in the cafeteria!"

"Oh!" Li Ruhai, who was preparing to be a broker, said happily when he heard that there was a big business coming, "Master Zhang, how much pork do we need for the cafeteria? Tell me the number, and I'll go back and do it for you!"

When Li Ruhai said that, Zhang Guoqing didn't believe it, because the kid's tone was too loud, so Zhang Guoqing just said: "You can handle as much as I want?"

"It will definitely not delay your business." Li Ruhai said: "But Mr. Zhang, we have to make an agreement. You have to tell me in advance how much wild boar and roe deer meat you want. If you tell me now and use it tomorrow, then I will Can't fix it."

When speaking of the last half sentence, Li Ruhai shook his head.

Zhang Guoqing laughed as soon as he heard it. He looked at Li Ruhai and said, "I've made an appointment in advance. You can keep as many wild boars as you want?"

"Ah!" Li Ruhai straightened his chest, slapped his left hand on his chest, turned his palm outwards, and said with a thumbs up: "I belong to the Zhao Family Gang!"
