Mountain Village Chicken Tycoon

Chapter 13 The Feast in the Countryside
People in the city drink in restaurants, but in rural areas, most of them like to drink at home.

Zhao Qingshan doesn't like the life of city people, having parties in restaurants and being served by others makes him feel uncomfortable.

He likes life in the countryside, such as this common way of having dinner together.

When the family has something to do, neighbors and friends come to help, and after the help is over, they will drink in the home of the person being helped.

The food may not be as delicious as the restaurants in the city, and the wine may not be as high-end as the restaurants in the city, but rural people don't care about this.

You should drink with the person who throws your temper, that's the happiest way.

Zhao's chicken farm was too busy tonight and needed manpower, so they invited Cao Mingren, Liu Yuren and He Zhongheng to the house.

It's the old custom to have a drink before work.

Although the three helpers from the village were much older than the three experts from the Agricultural University, Cao Mingren and the others took the initiative to let Xiao Cao and the others sit at the top of the table based on the principle that visitors are guests.

Xiao Cao and the others refused, but they couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the rural people, so they were forced to sit at the top.

Seeing that the three guests from a long distance were seated, Cao Mingren and the three helpers from the village also sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.

Entertaining guests with the Eight Immortals table is the top specification in the countryside.Although it is said that there are no large dishes, the serving specifications of the top ten bowls are also substantial enough.

Zhang Huifen was in charge of the table, Zhao Qingshan was in charge, and Zhao Zhijiang was in charge of the table. Tonight's dinner was considered to have begun.

It can be seen that Xiao Cao who sits at the top is a little cautious. Although it may not be the first time to sit on such an occasion, it is quite normal to feel a little uncomfortable every time.

Sitting next to Xiao Cao was Cao Mingren. He was the most knowledgeable and eloquent person in Fenghuangling Village.

"Your surname is Cao, and I am also surnamed Cao. Where is your hometown?"

Cao Mingren has the self-knowledge of being an accompanying guest, and took the initiative to get close to the guest.

"Oh, my hometown is Caojiazhuang in southern Thailand."

Xiao Cao smiled and said to Xiao Cao.

Cao Xicai, a technician of the Agricultural University Company, is a young man who has only been working for two years.

"Caojiazhuang belongs to the same family as us, how old are you?"

People with the same surname are sometimes not necessarily a family.As the saying goes, there are seven cards, eight kings and thirteen plums, which is the truth.

Although the Cao family is not a common surname, there are also many kinds of family trees. Only those with the same family tree can be judged on their seniority, but those with different genealogies cannot be judged on their seniority.

The Cao surname in Caojiazhuang in southern Thailand and the Cao surname in Fenghuangling in Laigang belong to the same family tree, so they can be counted as a family, so they can be discussed.

"I am 23rd."

"Oh, I'm 24th, so I have to call you uncle. You see, it's lucky to let you sit at the top, otherwise I won't be able to step down if I talk about it."

When everyone heard this, they smiled and said: "When you drink later, you two can drink two more glasses."

At this time, Zhao Qingshan came up with the first dish, which was fried chicken.

Sitting at the Eight Immortals table to eat a big feast, it is the rule to have the first chicken and two fishes.

If it's an ordinary guest, there's no need to be so serious, just make do with a few dishes and sit on a short square table.

But the experts invited here must take good care of them. After a while, they will have to ask others to teach me how to prevent the chickens from epidemics.

After a plate of fried chicken was served, Zhao Zhijiang took it and respectfully placed it in the middle of the table, with the chicken head facing Xiao Cao.

There is also a saying on who the chicken head is facing, and it is generally facing the top position.

However, the seats in mountain villages are different from those in cities.In the mountain village, sit at the Eight Immortals table, and put two Eight Immortals chairs on the side facing the door, and then say that the main entrance usually opens to the south, so it can also be said that of the two chairs facing south, the one on the east is the top. , the one on the west side is the second seat, and they are all for guests.

In the city, the most honorable position is the one on the left of the two seats facing the door, which is different from the rules in the countryside.

Of course, the seat facing the door, if you are entertaining guests in a restaurant, is reserved for the host to sit with, and he is the one who pays for the treat.

Generally, it is not someone who treats guests specially. If no one sits in the seat facing the door, it is staggered so that no one sits in the seat facing the door.

Each place has its own customs. These customs are the customs of the Central Shandong area, and may not be applicable to other places.

When the first dish was served, Zhao Zhijiang picked up the chopsticks and said to Xiao Cao with a smile: "Technician Cao, try my fried chicken, whether it suits your taste or not."

He Zhongheng on the side chimed in: "Technician Cao, our sister-in-law's culinary skills, in our Fenghuangling Village, are the second and no one dares to say the first."

When Cao Xicai heard this, he became interested and said quickly, "You have to try it out."

Xiao Cao moved his chopsticks for the first time, and then the others took a bite.

"It's not bad, it's even better than that Qishan fried chicken."

In the central Shandong area, the local chicken fried with peanut oil tastes very good.

Around the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, on Qishan, more than 30 miles east of Fenghuangling Village, someone opened a restaurant specializing in fried chicken. By 2002, Qishan Fried Chicken The reputation of Qishan has spread far and wide to other cities in the province, especially Taishan City, which is relatively close to Laigang County, and the citizens of Quancheng City drive to Qishan every weekend to climb the mountain and eat chicken.

"How can it compare to Qishan Fried Chicken? We don't have so many ingredients." Zhao Zhijiang said modestly.

A few people didn't eat a few bites of fried chicken, Zhao Qingshan came up with a plate of braised carp.

Why one chicken and two fish? Because these two dishes are time-consuming. If these two dishes are served, the other dishes will be served soon.

When serving the dishes just now, Zhao Qingshan frowned slightly when he heard his father and the others discuss Qishan fried chicken, thinking about a question.

Qishan receives more than 30 tourists a year, and [-] Everbright roosters are eaten a year.

You must know that the roosters selected for Qishan fried chicken are all big roosters weighing more than six catties, or even seven or eight catties. By 2002, Qishan fried chicken had already reached 12 yuan per catty.

The price of free-range roosters sold in the market for one year is only 7 yuan, which shows the huge profit of Qishan fried chicken.

If it is said to cooperate with dozens of fried chicken restaurants on Qishan for supply, it is also an idea for the next step.

In a blink of an eye, the dishes were almost ready, and everyone who knows the business knew that there was only the last meatball soup left, and then Cao Mingren and the others let Zhao Qingshan also have the banquet.

After sitting down at the banquet, Zhao Qingshan immediately took the wine bottle, filled it up for all the elders present, and poured himself a glass at the end.

Zhao Zhijiang was a little surprised that his son was going to drink tonight, but he didn't say anything. He felt that his son had indeed grown up.
