slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 336
Cang Hai and Shi Wei were packing up their things. The living room was bustling with several groups of guests, but after the bustle, there was also a lot of melon shells and peels all over the place.The big guys in the country don’t care too much when they are together, they just spit on the ground after eating. If they are too particular, the guests are not used to it, and the owner will not be able to show their face. Fortunately, the floor tiles in Cang Hai’s house are also floor tiles. Compared with wooden floors, floor tiles are also easy to take care of, not to mention spit out melon seeds or oil, and they are also easy to take care of.

After the guests left, Cang Hai and Shi Wei naturally had to clean the room.

"Haiwazi, Haiwazi!"

Cang Hai heard Li Liren's voice from outside the door, so he put down the broom in his hand and opened the kiln curtain and went outside.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Li?" Cang Hai saw that Li Liren was wearing a brand new red apron on his coat, and immediately said with a smile: "Hey, is this a new year and a new look? Why don't you just put on a new apron? , this apron looks much better than your gauze apron that is almost dirty to black, is it new?"

Li Liren laughed and scolded Cang Hai after hearing this: "What the hell are you talking about, kid? How can I buy a new apron? It was just given to me by Chang Li. It was sent by her place of work. She thinks it looks pretty, so she takes it." There are a few pieces, and I share one. I said you kid is okay now, if you are okay, give me a hand and kill the fish."

Cang Hai nodded and said: "I'm fine, kill the fish, right? I'll go there later!"

Li Liren said: "Then hurry up, there are still a lot of things to do over there, dozens of meals are not so easy to get, and when you go, go to the canteen of your grandpa's house to collect the leftovers. Carry a case of wine."

Cang Hai responded, "I see, you go first, I'll be right there."

After hearing this, Li Liren turned around and left. When he reached the door of Li Licheng's house, he opened the curtain and walked in. He came out with a tank of gasoline in his arms without a few words.

Cang Hai watched the old man take a few steps, then turned and returned to the house.

Shi Wei had heard the conversation between the two clearly, and when she saw Cang Hai coming in, she smiled and said, "Since Second Grandpa Li asked you to kill the fish, you should go early, and I will do the rest." .

Seeing that there was nothing to take care of, Cang Hai just dumped the rubbish in the field into the trash can at the entrance of the village, so he said, "That's fine, I'll go!"

When he reached the door, Cang Hai stopped in his tracks: "Why hasn't Ping An come back?"

Shi Wei said: "You forgot, you asked him to send some things to my house, but it's time to come back after seeing this."

This person didn't talk about it, and when the two of them talked about safety, the voice of peace came from outside.

"Second brother, sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Cang Hai opened the curtain and went out the door, and saw that Ping An, who was wrapped like a scorpion, had already got off the sledge, and was reaching out to move things down the sledge.

"What?" Cang Hai asked curiously.

"Sister-in-law's family gave it, saying it was a new year's gift," Ping An said with a smile.

Cang Hai walked over, stretched out his hand to open the cardboard box, and took a look inside. He found that there were sausages and ham in it, and some milk in another cardboard box in the car.

"We don't lack these things at home," Cang Hai murmured.

Ping An heard it and said: "I said it, but the uncle and uncle insisted on giving it. I couldn't refuse and had to move back."

"Move back when you come back, move to the house, and let your sister-in-law take care of it." Cang Hai waved his hand at Ping An, stroked the ugly donkey's ears twice, and walked towards Li Licheng's canteen go.

Ping An carried the box to the house, and when he reached the door, he almost bumped into Shi Wei.

"sister in law!"

"What is this holding!" Shi Wei glanced at the cardboard box: "These things are all in the house! My dad won't give anything else!"

At this time, Shi Wei complained a little.No wonder the water splashed by the married daughter, Shi Wei, who has legally become the daughter-in-law of the Cang family, has changed roles unconsciously, from the daughter of the Shi family to the mistress of the Cang family.

As soon as this identity changed, I naturally felt that my mother’s family was a bit stingy. Thinking about the so many New Year’s gifts from my family, it would be at least 2000 yuan for chicken, fish, meat and egg wine, not to mention anything else, just how much is a box of Moutai. Besides, my husband and wife generously gave [-] yuan for the New Year. Why did my parents give this thing, and the total is [-] yuan.

If Wang Zhenzhen was here now, she would definitely be blown away by her own daughter!He yelled at his old couple for raising a white-eyed wolf.

The old couple also racked their brains to send things. The son-in-law’s house has no shortage of melons, fruits, pears, and peaches. The chicken, duck, and fish are still fresh if they are caught directly in the circle. The most important thing is that they are not short of money. After thinking about it, I simply bought some brand-name New Year's goods and sent them to my son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the son-in-law didn't say anything, and was complained by his daughter.

"Let's take what the elders give us." Ping An didn't think too much about it, and said to Shi Wei with a smile.

Shi Wei reached out and rummaged through the box, and found that the sausage and ham were all bought, and the ham was still a famous brand, so she said to Ping An: "Well, keep the ham, and send the rest to the east of the village. Go ahead, have a dinner in the village today, if you send this to Grandpa Li, it can be counted as a plate, I will go and see what is in that box."

After hearing this, Ping An nodded in response, and entered the room with the cardboard box in his arms.

Cang Hai’s family also makes sausages, because Cang Hai has raised several pigs this year, so the meat used to fill the sausages is naturally from his own pigs, so the quality goes without saying, no brand of sausage is as good as Cang Hai’s sausages Eat, how many companies that produce sausages are willing to use free-range black pork to fill sausages?It is a conscientious enterprise that can make a good meat pot. Shi Wei, who is used to eating her own food, can't eat it.

Going to the side of the cart to have a look, Shi Wei left a box of milk, and collected the rest into a box for safe delivery to the east of the village.

Cang Hai came to the east of the village with a box of Daqu liquor in his arms.

Now the kitchen at the east end of the village is on fire. The kitchen at the east end of the village is very big, not only the kitchen but also the dining room.The west half is the kitchen.There are four iron pots of different sizes built inside. The largest iron pot has a diameter of about 1.2 meters. A shovel is used for cooking, and the smallest pot has a diameter of 20 centimeters.To the east is the dining room, which can accommodate four or five large round tables for [-] people. The entire kitchen and dining room are about [-] square meters in size, presenting a long strip shape, just standing on the edge of the platform.

The kitchen is not like everyone’s private kitchen. The roof of the kitchen is a steel shed shelf, which is covered with a layer of waterproof felt, and blue tiles are hung on the waterproof felt. The roof has a shape, but there are no walls on the four sides, only a few A steel pillar.Naturally, it’s fine in summer, and it’s cool to cook when you open it up. In winter, you need to surround the kitchen with plastic sheets, so that the inside of the kitchen can be kept warm.

Entering the kitchen with his things in his arms, Cang Hai found that a few elderly grandmas in the dining room were already busy choosing vegetables and washing rice, while Li Liren was occupying an Eight Immortals table, wielding their knives like rain and rattling non-stop. With the sound of chopping vegetables, sections of celery stalks were cut into pieces as big as little knuckles. When the cutting board was full, Li Liren reached out and swept the celery on the cutting board into the bamboo basket next to it.

Li Liren raised his head and saw Cang Hai coming in, so he said: "What are you so dazed about, put the wine over there quickly, and kill your fish!"

Following the direction of Li Liren's finger, Cang Hai found six big carps in a big wooden basin, each weighing about three to four catties, and about the same size. Looking at the carp's appearance, Cang Hai knew that the fish were caught in the lagoon wild fish.

"Who caught this fish? It's not easy. They are all about the same size."

After sending the wine over, Cang Hai rolled up his sleeves, drew a knife in his hand, pulled a small bench and sat next to the wooden basin, watching the carp swimming in the water and said.

"Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng fished it. They were lucky today. They said they found a fish nest. There were some small miscellaneous fish, but they were taken home by your third grandfather. They said that they would invite the two old men to come tomorrow. Let's go eat small miscellaneous fish pot stickers at home," Li Liren said with a smile.

Cang Hai looked at the cheerful fish swimming in the basin, opened his mouth and asked again: "What are the fish going to do?"

Li Liren said: "Shuitouyu, cross-shaped knife, the size of a mahjong!"

Shuitou fish refers to the fish boiled with water, with few ingredients, only soy sauce and ginger slices, it sounds very simple, but the simpler the dish, the more the chef’s level is tested. The fish is tender and not fishy, Ordinary cooks don't have the ability to do this at all.Cang Hai also has no ability to make water head fish, because there are too many ingredients and too little stuff, and it can’t be made without several years of exploration. The taste of more soy sauce and more ginger will not be correct.

Cang Hai didn't ask any further questions, picked up a carp and placed it on the cutting board horizontally above the wooden basin, and pointed the back of the knife at the head of the fish all at once.

With a bang, the fish was fainted by Canghai. The fish is also very particular about killing fish. You can’t kill the fish. The fish still has to move.

If it's not demanding, Li Liren can just find someone to kill the fish, why bother going over to call Cang Hai over.

As soon as the fish was dizzy, Cang Hai laid the knife edge flatly, pressed the fish head with one hand, and quickly scaled the fish with the other hand. After the fish scales on both sides were knocked off, he slashed the back of the gills and the fish tail, and then pulled out the fish tendons.

Carp cramp is a habit. I heard that fish tendon is a hairy thing. It is not good for the elderly, pregnant women and children to eat it. Also, carp will have less fishy smell after the tendon is removed.

Easily pulled out the fish tendon, Cang Hai gently pulled a knife on the belly of the fish, took out all the fish intestines, rinsed the fat from the belly and the fish in water, and stuffed it back into the belly of the fish.

Such a carp is completely taken care of.

After killing the six carp, the fish that were killed before seemed to wake up. After being gutted, these fish kept wagging their tails in the bamboo basket, struggling for death.

When the fish in Canghai was almost finished, Li Liren had already started to process the fish. He put on special ingredients and marinated them for a while. After waiting for 5 minutes, he started cooking the pot. When the pot started to steam, Li Liren picked up a spoon and poured it around the edge of the pot. When the oil was slightly hot, he put the fish one by one into the pot and started frying on low heat.

Frying fish is also a handicraft. If you don’t know how to fry fish, you can fry the fish into pieces. If you know how to fry fish, the skin will not be broken. Li Liren is obviously the latter. The fish is fried on both sides, and the skin is not broken at all. , seeming to sprinkle a few slices of ginger casually, pour a few spoonfuls of soy sauce into the pot, cover the pot, and start cooking the fish.

"What should I do next?" Cang Hai asked after washing his hands and wiping them away.

Li Liren stretched out his finger to the small square table next to him: "Cut the meat, beef and mutton, with lean pork, and place the plate in thirds. The meat should be cut thicker. The slices of your meat are too thin. It’s not a ramen restaurant, why cut it so thin.”

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Cang Hai took another unused knife from the knife rest, flushed it with water, sat down at the small table, and started cutting meat.

The beef, mutton and lean pork are all boiled, not marinated, but cooked with salt. The knife is very sharp, and the meat is like a knife sweeping snow. Each piece of meat is half the size of a cigarette pack, about The thickness is about three millimeters. After cutting almost a piece of Canghai, put the meat on the plate. The pork is on the bottom, the lamb is on the top, and the beef is on the top.

Cang Hai cuts the meat, Li Liren has already started to fish out the cooked chicken from the pot. The skill of cooking chicken is still the white-cut chicken taught by Cang Hai. Four chickens are fished out, and Li Liren's side has started to stir up heat vegetable.

Waiting for Ping An to come to help, Liu Aifen was freed from the stove, and began to chop vegetables and side dishes. The three of them started together, and in about four, five, 10 minutes, three tables of dishes were almost ready.

There are four cold and six hot dishes for each table, and each table is served with a soup pot of duck and winter bamboo shoots, which will tempt people to sniff as soon as they enter the shed.
