slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 554 Arrival
The rain came earlier than Cang Hai expected. That night, when Cang Hai and his three were sleeping in a tent, the raindrops began to tick, and it didn’t take long for the tick to turn into a continuous patter. It was evident that the rain was mixed with some fine ice particles, that is, hail.

Fortunately, the hailstorm was not too big, and did not damage the tent. The ugly donkey was quite good at hiding, and lay directly on the edge of the tent, just covering his body with the tent.

At the same time as the freezing rain came a sudden drop in temperature, and soon the temperature, which was only a few degrees, dropped below zero, and the rain in the sky gradually began to pick up snowflakes, and finally there were more and more snowflakes, and the rain became more and more At least, at four or five o'clock in the morning, light snow began to float in the sky all day long.

From a certain point of view, the choice of the two old men is correct. Taking Cang Hai for a walk is indeed much better than others. Not to mention anything else, it is just that the tents are not comparable to the goods in the village. Cang Hai The army’s field tents are used, which are not only resistant to rain but also wind, and the effect of heat preservation is also good, so the three of them slept soundly this night.

As soon as the sky dawned, Xu Sheng and Qu Guowei woke up first. There was no other way. The elderly always slept less than the young, and more than seven hours of sleep was enough for the middle-aged, but it was even worse for the two old men. Needless to say, after getting out of the tent, being blown by the cool wind like this, the two old men felt that their whole bodies were refreshed.

"The snow has stopped? It's a bit sloppy now," Qu Guowei stretched his waist, and said to Xu Sheng next to him.

Mr. Xu Sheng took out the French mouthwash, took a sip, poured it in his mouth for a while, and spat out the water with a bah sound.

"It's not the first day for you to spend the winter in Sijiaping Village. This light snow is telling you that it's winter now, and there will be heavy snow soon," Xu Sheng said with a smile.

Qu Guowei was amused, then turned his head and shouted into the tent: "Cang Hai, wake up, why are young people lazier than us old men!"

Hearing Qu Guowei's voice, Canghai struggled to sit up, rubbed his eyes, looked at the weather outside, and found that the sky had cleared up, so he put on his clothes and walked out.

"Fortunately, the snow stopped, otherwise the rest of the road would be difficult." Cang Hai expressed his satisfaction that Xiaoxue only fell for two or three hours.

"Hurry up and cook, what's for breakfast?"

Cang Hai replied: "Simple, meat porridge! Dried salted fish and meat porridge."

When the two old men heard this, they immediately salivated.

"Then move quickly!"

Cang Hai was not in a hurry, and took a long time to wash up. Then he set up the small pot and started to cook the porridge. Bottled water, then grabbed two handfuls of lean meat, and half a handful of shredded chicken, added a little salt, covered the lid and started cooking.

The salted fish is cooked, but in this weather, it is good to eat by roasting it next to the fire, so each of the three people took a long stick, put two small salted fish on it and roasted it by the fire .

After roasting for about 5 to [-] minutes, the skin of the originally blue and white fish began to turn golden yellow. Cang Hai tried it and felt that the fish was almost hot, so he gently tore the meat on the back of the fish with his hands. Put it in your mouth.

"Ping An, you don't need money for salt, do you?"

Cang Hai complained, and sent the fish back to the fire.

At this moment, Mr. Xu Sheng grabbed the meat next to the fish tail, there was only a small piece, not even half of the little fingernail.

Putting it in his mouth and chewing it twice, old man Xu Sheng said: "It's okay, it's not too salty. By the way, Cang Hai, I didn't say it, why are you so lazy, you don't even beat a fish scale, Take a look!"

Cang Hai didn't even look at Mr. Xu Sheng, and continued to roast his fish intently, and at the same time explained: "What do you know, this kind of fish has to be scaled, and I'm telling you, it's out of Sijiaping You can't eat this fish even if you want to."

"You probably forgot how we two old guys usually entertain. Fishing is our specialty. It is more difficult than others, but it is more than enough than you!" Qu Guowei said very dissatisfied.

"You guys are fishing, but making salted fish is too far behind. The salted fish made from this kind of fish is the best. You find that the body of this fish is not as long, thin and flat. If you eat fresh fish, there are so many small spines. But the salted fish is different, the small thorns that are annoying when soaked in salt immediately disappear, and the scales of this fish must not be beaten when making salted fish, the taste will be reduced by half after being beaten. That kind of umami..." Cang Hai talked about the salted fish classics with the two old men.

"It's such a big fish, even if it has small thorns, it can be troublesome, and the oil pan can solve the problem," Qu Guowei said.

Cang Hai said: "The best salted fish is not so big, it has to be seven or eight in weight, and the best is about [-] centimeters long."

"Then why do we eat so big?"

"It's very simple. After eating all the delicious food, there is only this big one left," Cang Hai said.

"..."

When the two old men heard this, they were immediately speechless.

"Can you be more perfunctory?"

Qu Guowei said very dissatisfied.

After hearing this, Cang Hai said: "I can't help it, I just made salted fish this year!"

In the past, Canghai's family used small crucian carp or salted fish made of knifefish. Canghai didn't eat this kind of fish. To be honest, even the black bears in Fenghuanggou didn't like to eat this kind of fish. The scales of the fish are too small, and sticking to the fish is very difficult to take care of. However, when Ping An was making salted fish, he accidentally marinated one, hung it outside to dry, and steamed it in a pot. The taste came out, and the savory taste was much stronger than other fish.

Then naturally another batch was produced, the quantity was not much, and after steaming and drying, it weighed about [-] kilograms. Don’t look at it as a lot. Canghai gave the old man a few kilograms. Teachers, godmothers, and Gu Han in Shanghai got a share, and each share was only three or two catties.

"Do more next year!" Cang Hai said.

"Why not do it now?" Qu Guowei asked.

Cang Hai shook his head after hearing this: "The sun is not strong now, this kind of fish must be marinated and then steamed in a wok. After steaming, take it outside to expose it to the sun and wait for it to dry before it tastes good. In fact, it is not only for cooking This kind of fish, as well as other fish, are not as tasty as those baked in the sun."

Salted fish has to be made by local methods to taste delicious. Once it is machined, it will reduce the taste. In the popular saying, it will lose its soul.

Just as we were talking, the porridge in the pot was ready, Cang Hai lifted the lid of the pot, half-covered and half-opened the pot and continued cooking for another five or six minutes, before Cang Hai filled the pot with porridge , Divided into three bowls.

The three of them hugged the porridge and took the little salted fish, and quickly wiped the porridge fish clean.

After packing up his things, Cang Hai took the two old men and continued on their way. Along the way, there was nothing but food. The three of them were lucky, and they even picked up a fat pheasant from the mouth of an unlucky fox on the way.

When he arrived not far from the big tomb, Cang Hai felt that he hadn't been here these days, and the changes here were really too great.

Rows of small houses have been built. Note that the houses at this time are not the prefabricated houses before, but serious brick-concrete structures, and they are built in a decent way. Know that this is designed by professionals.

Seeing him, Qu Guowei smiled at Cang Hai and said, "The kid surnamed Lu really has two talents! The future is limitless."

The kid surnamed Lu that Qu Guowei mentioned is Lu Yanzhi, and now Lu Yanzhi is already a serious mayor, and he is also a big mayor. After the mayor, Lu Yanzhi started a large-scale infrastructure construction here, mainly promoting the ski resort here, and a series of livelihood projects.

It's not easy to find investment for people's livelihood projects, and they can't get much money out of banks for loans, so Lu Yanzhi gave Shi Wei and others a lot of concessions for the ski resort, and the resources in the city were concentrated to start the people's livelihood project .

Although the people have mixed opinions about the new mayor, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Lu Yanzhi is still doing things here. One point is quite brilliant for a young cadre.

"He's going to use this place as a cash cow for the city," Cang Hai said with a smile.

The big concession on the ski resort, in exchange for a part of the funds, was almost used by Lu Yanzhi here. To put it plainly, he was going to make landscaping when there was no scene, and rely on the ski resort to do something.

"I've seen his plan, this kid has an idea," Xu Sheng said.

Cang Hai curled his lips after hearing this: "I don't think it will make money."

After hearing this, Xu Sheng and Qu Guowei glanced at Cang Hai at the same time, then laughed and said nothing.The two old men know that sometimes there is no need to have results in doing things, and even the results that are not very good can be accepted by the higher-ups. Does it cost money to train a good cadre?Whoever is born capable of everything, reform itself is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Of course, the two old men will not talk about these things with Cang Hai, because Cang Hai is not a material for playing politics at all, and talking to him is like talking to a cow.

Chatting and chatting, the three arrived at the gate of the camp.

At this time, there was already a fence around, and there were people in security uniforms guarding the gate. When they saw the three people in Canghai, they stopped them directly with their voices.

When Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng reported their names and explained the purpose of their visit, the security guard checked and registered the ID cards of the three people before letting them in.

After passing the original big mound, Cang Hai found that the original tomb passage had been cleared out, a dark tomb passage opened like a big mouth, and some staff members pulling large wooden boxes spit out from it from time to time.

There are no less than fifty or sixty wooden boxes like this placed at the entrance of the tomb passage. You can tell by the size that there are many things unearthed in this tomb.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Mr. Xu Sheng couldn't wait any longer.

Cang Hai had no choice but to let the two old men go down first, go to the office to meet the receptionist, and then put the things on the cart into the arranged dormitory.

The matter is also simple, the person who received Cang Hai was a young man in his early thirties, about the same age as Cang Hai, but kept a straight face and was not good at speaking. After handing over, he told Cang Hai where the animals were tied, and then turned around and left.

Cang Hai took the key and opened the door. After entering, he found that he seemed to have returned to his college days. There were three loft beds in the room, which could accommodate six people in total. something.

Putting the things into the dormitory, Cang Hai stored the ugly donkey in the barn, and looked at the things stirred up by the big tomb with curiosity.

When we arrived at the gate of the tomb, Cang Hai asked someone here.

"Where did you come from and how did you get in?"

The young man caught by Cang Hai was in his twenties, seeing that Cang Hai had no sign on his chest, he immediately frowned and asked vigilantly.

Cang Hai said quickly: "I'm from Sijiaping! I'm here to send Qu Guowei and Xu Sheng over here."

Hearing that Canghai belongs to Sijiaping, the young man looked at Canghai with a grim expression, and then let out a snort.

Cang Hai looked at the young man's back and murmured, "I've taken the gunpowder! Sijiaping tricked you!"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Cang Hai simply went straight into the tomb passage.
