slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 38 Leek Box
Cang Hai cut four or five handfuls here, and Li Liren finished cutting off the whole leek, leaving only the bare root of the leek.

"Let's go!" Li Liren straightened up, and put a handful of leeks in his hand into the basket. At this time, the bamboo basket was full of leeks.

"Go back and add some vermicelli, and you can bake it," Li Liren said.

As soon as Cang Hai heard this, he immediately dissuaded him: "Don't put the vermicelli, just the leek bag, just add some oil and salt."

From Cang Hai’s point of view, the leek box is just the leek box, what kind of vermicelli are in it.

"Just a box of leeks won't make you hungry!" Li Liren said.

"Then how about this, let's make another beef soup for dinner today, beef soup with leek box" Cang Hai doesn't want to eat leek box with vermicelli.

Hearing what Cang Hai said, Li Liren thought for a while and said, "It's better not to have beef soup, let's stew big bone soup."

What is the price of beef, what is the price of big bones?From Li Liren's point of view, he went to bed after eating at night. It's not a waste to eat such good food. It's better to eat beef or something at noon, and he will have strength after a full life.

As long as Li Liren doesn't put vermicelli in the leek box, Cang Hai doesn't want to care about beef soup or bone soup, so he nodded and agreed with Li Liren's big bone soup idea.

The two returned to the kitchen, and the helper began to wash and chop the leeks, while the other helper started kneading the noodles, and Li Liren naturally chopped the bones.Cang Hai is helping out, handing over salt, oil and so on.

The cook ate this bowl of rice, and the work of pancakes was naturally much faster than Cang Hai stretched out his hands. In just half an hour, boxes of leeks that looked like half a small cattail fan were placed on the chopping board.

Cang Hai stared at the huge leek box and couldn't help being stunned. In the past, the leek boxes eaten in Shanghai were usually no bigger than a palm, but now it seems that one of them is more than three before.

At this time, Li Liren had adjusted the flavor of the bone soup, covered the pot and started to simmer. At the same time, he set up another large pot and started to cook the leek box.

The straw pot is very hot, and it is a sharp-bottomed pot. Roasting the leek box requires a lot of craftsmanship, and you have to adjust the leek box from time to time, otherwise the bottom side of the pot will be burnt, and the side close to the edge of the pot may still be raw.

Seeing the first pot of chives being baked, Cang Hai reached out and took one to his mouth and bit it lightly. He felt that the fragrant flour paired with the salty and delicious leeks was so beautiful that it made people nod their heads.

Li Liren asked: "How is it?"

Cang Hai raised his left thumb: "It tastes great!"

"Okay then, let's call everyone over for dinner." Li Liren said with a smile.

After hearing this, Cang Hai went over to ask everyone to eat while gnawing on pancakes.

After these days of construction, the upper supporting beam of the water tower is almost ready to be closed, and the platform supporting the water tank is at the top. Of course, it takes a lot of work to pour the platform, and now the project is also in progress. A little over a third.

The progress of the cave dwelling is good. The first cave dwelling has been leveled, and the decoration workers have also moved in. According to Cang Hai's request, they have started laying bricks and plastering, and at the same time laying wiring and laying floor tiles.The second kiln has almost come out, and there are still two days at most before the work of this kiln can be finished.

Hearing Cang Hai calling for food, the workers put down their work one after another, went to the well to get some water to wash their hands, and then took their own rice bowls to the kitchen.

Dozens of people squatting together to eat, the scene is still a little spectacular, but fortunately, everyone is squatting, so there is no need for tables and chairs, and the big platform in front of the kitchen has a feeling of having a meeting in the countryside every meal time , full of people.

When eating, not only people, but also the dogs of the village.At this time, the dog wagged its head and joined the crowd, looking around here and there, hoping that someone could throw a bone, or two pieces of fat meat or something to enjoy it.

The workers, including the villagers, don't have the habit of giving meat to the dogs. They often gnaw the bones in the bowl until they are almost tasteless, so they throw the bones on the ground.

Cang Hai is different. Of course, Cang Hai has no interest in feeding other people’s dogs. He can only lean over with a tiger’s head, just like today, when everyone gets two big bones, the bones are hung with fat. Also with lean meat, Cang Hai only ate the lean meat that was easy to chew, like fat meat with some hard-to-gnaw fat meat, and returned to the tiger's head at his feet.

After eating two boxes of leeks, Cang Hai could hardly eat anything else. As for the big bone soup, Cang Hai was not attractive at all. It was not that Li Liren's craftsmanship was poor, but that there were vermicelli in the soup. Cang Hai don't like to eat.

"This leek is full of flavor and fresh!"

Wu Bing squatted down next to Cang Hai at this time, holding the leek box with one hand, green leek juice dripping from the corner of his mouth while eating, and sucking the soup inside with the bowl in his other hand, probably because he was in a hurry to eat and choked. He stopped, and drank a few sips of soup before flushing the leek box down his throat.

"I like to eat more!" Cang Hai laughed.

Bones are rationed, two pieces per person, no one has more, let alone less, they are all counted.There is also Li Liren's skills in chopping bones. There is nothing to say, even if you want to pick, you can't pick any size. Not only is the size similar, but the meat on each bone is similar. It can be seen that the craftsmanship of this country chef is so great. It's tough.

"Enough, I've already eaten three yuan," Wu Bing said.

Cang Hai has experienced the food intake of the workers before. If he doesn't talk about others, he just talks about Wu Bing in front of him.

"If you still have work here next time, you must call me, even if the money is less," Wu Bing said with a smile while eating.

Cang Hai listened to Zhi Le: "I will definitely look for you, but I don't seem to have much work to do here."

Wu Bing repeatedly said it was a pity.

Working for Cang Hai, not to mention the wages, the food here is eight times better than that on the construction site. When I was working on the construction site, even if I was a better boss, it was nothing more than Chinese cabbage vermicelli stew Half-fat and half-lean pork, the boss who doesn't pay attention to it just eats Chinese cabbage and tofu, and only eats meat two or three times a week. It's like here in Canghai, two meals a day of meat, and it's all delicious local pork.

"The next step is to pour the platform?" Cang Hai asked.

Wu Bing nodded: "Well, in another four or five days, I will arrange for people to tie the steel bars tomorrow. You can rest assured about the quality. If there is any problem, brother, I will give you my head. The material you use is too real. up".

Wu Bing patted his chest and made a promise. In fact, in Wu Bing's opinion, the water tower in Canghai was a bit over-built. According to the current level, it would be an earthquake of magnitude [-] or [-], and the water tower would be knocked down. In all likelihood, the frame of the water tower will not fall apart, at most it will fall to the ground.

"I use it myself, and expect to use it for many years. I don't feel at ease if I don't make it strong." Cang Hai said with a smile.

"The work here is over, where are you going?" Cang Hai asked.

Wu Bing said: "It's better to go back to the magic capital. There is a construction site to start. The big foreman has already agreed with me. When the work here is over at the beginning of next month, we will go there."

People like Wu Bing have good craftsmanship, and any contractor likes such craftsmanship.

The two of them were chatting, when suddenly a worker asked loudly: "Master, do you still have the leek box?"

Li Liren stood up after hearing this, stretched out his head and asked, "Is there nothing in the pot?"

The worker replied: "Is there nothing in the pot?"

"That is no more!"

At this time, a worker said with a smile: "Chen Dong, you have eaten four yuan, are you still full?"

"It's delicious!"

The worker named Chen Dong touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and smiled honestly.

Wu Bing said at this time: "Eat a little less, kid. If you eat too much of this thing, you will be disturbed. Four yuan is enough."

Li Liren said with a smile at this time: "Since everyone likes to eat it, let's make it later when the leeks grow. What a good thing is a leek box!"

Li Liren was quite generous with leeks that didn't cost money. He patted his chest and promised to bake more leek boxes next time.

All the leek boxes in the whole pot were swept away, and Cang Hai was stunned when he heard it: These people really can eat!
Wu Bing was thinking about admonishing his subordinates, when suddenly he felt something out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked down, he found that the gray dog ​​had bitten a bone in his bowl, so he raised his foot and kicked it.

Wu Bing's speed was fast, but the meat-stealing Gouzi was even faster, and he turned around and ran out.

To say that this dog is also smart, and it runs left and right and jumps directly to the bottom of the slope. There is no one under the slope of the kitchen. He tried his best, jumped down from the slope, and fell on his back, even the bones in his mouth fell out.

Seeing that Wu Bing was robbed of the bone by the dog, and the dog jumped off the stage with an air of fearlessness, everyone burst into laughter.

The dog got up quickly, chased the bone and ran a long way with its dangling in its mouth, then lowered its head and started to gnaw. While gnawing, he looked up at Wu Bing's direction from time to time, as if to see if Wu Bing was chasing him.

At this moment, Wu Bing's face turned red and green, but luckily there was only one bone left in the bowl, otherwise Wu Bing would have exploded with anger.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my dog. I'll give you meat tomorrow," Li Liren said quickly.

After eating here, the sky turned dark, everyone washed the dishes one after another, and then went back to their houses. There is no entertainment in the village, no mobile phone signal, almost no TV programs, except for sleeping and playing poker. Of course, these workers play poker without gambling.

Cang Hai is not interested in gambling. Some folks are interested, but they play too much. They are reluctant to take the money in their pockets, so they don't join in.
