The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 155

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Lao Tan, Gu Yi, and Wang Dong came out of Wuchuan. The three of them had drunk alcohol. According to Lao Tan's intention, they stayed for the same day and left the next day.Gu Yi said that this little wine was nothing and would not delay the matter, and said that no one from Wuchuan to Hohhot had dared to check him for drunk driving.Although the words are a bit big, it is estimated that it will not be a big deal even if it is checked, and it can be settled.

After leaving Wuchuan and driving into Daqingshan, you will enter a piece of green.The mountains are stacked, the green trees are lush, and the wind in the mountains is cool, blowing in from the car window is very refreshing.

When approaching the farmyard, the sky gradually darkened.

"Gu Yi, don't be in a hurry. There's nothing to do when you go back. Stay in that farmhouse for one night and enjoy yourself." Wang Dong said to Gu Yi in a good mood because he had agreed to cooperate with the county government to develop the potato project. .

Gu Yi looked at Old Tan with a questioning look, and said, "I'm fine, Brother Tan, are you in a hurry to go back?"

Old Tan wasn't in a hurry, he was still worried about Gu Yi driving after drinking, so he said, "Let's stay for one night and go back tomorrow."

So I parked the car at the farmyard.

Coincidentally, he met the Gaoju Bureau back to Hohhot, and he and the two bureau members who came with him also stopped here, planning to stay for one night before leaving.The two groups get together to six, and if they meet the eight hundred and eighty standards, they will be together.

After arranging the accommodation, it was not time for dinner. Gu Yi said he was tired and lay down for a while, and Lao Tan strolled out of the yard alone, standing by the gully to enjoy the scenery in the mountains.

The terrain here is relatively flat, and the gully is not deep, only about ten meters.Part of the river below was intercepted and turned into a small fish pond. The boss raised many fish in it.

Lao Tan passed the fish pond along the path, and walked forward for a while. In front of him, there was a ditch extending from the mountain. There was a dirt road at the mouth of the ditch, and there was a sign that read "Baishan Cordyceps Chicken Breeding Base".

Isn't this Boss Bai's chicken farm we talked about this morning?
Old Tan was overjoyed, and walked a few steps to the front of the ditch, and looked in along the mouth of the ditch.

It was already twilight, and the scene in the distance was a bit vague. All I could see was a loess road, winding and extending into the ditch, and turning a corner a mile away.

In the distance is a dark green mountain, dark, with no shadows or lights.

Lao Tan thought that the chicken farm should be deep in the mountains, quite far from here.Now that I'm here, I'll go and have a look tomorrow morning, and take two strolling chickens back with me.

The sky dimmed, the mountains were shrouded in a yellow rhyme, the air smelled of the trees and the earth at dusk, the sound of frogs came from the small river from time to time, mixed with the sound of unknown insects, there was a faint pastoral atmosphere under the southern mountain.

Comfortable, loose, comfortable ---
At this moment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, immersed in the embrace of nature, feeling the gentle wind blowing through life, involuntarily rising a bit of indifference and long-lost tranquility.

Only by being close to nature, immersing the whole body and mind in it, closing the eyes of the secular world, feeling the heartbeat, breathing, and listening to the pulse of life, seems to cleanse the soul.

Nature, Tao follows nature.

Everything in the world is natural, each abides by its own rules, each follows its own way, and then returns to the same goal by different routes, returning to nature.

Everything in the world is a living thing.In the same realm, there are four great beings in the realm, the sky is big, the way is big, the earth is big, and people are also big.

In this way, man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.

What is Tao?
The vicissitudes of the world, the end returns to the beginning of reincarnation.The Tao is like the human heart, the heart is like the wind, changing with the seasons, knowing the cold; the Tao is like the human body, the body is the universe, changing with the heaven and the earth, and containing all things.

What is law is nature, and inaction is action.The body is transformed into heaven and earth, what you do is not for yourself, just like nature, it is naturally pure.

Be quiet and do nothing, be indifferent to yourself, and be enthusiastic for others. Your heart is like the world, and you can do everything in tolerance.Catering to the dispute between heaven and earth, there is no dispute between heaven and earth, why is there any dispute?

If it is the way, it can be cultivated.

Naturally, doing good deeds is not a matter of good or bad, if you follow the right path, the world will experience vicissitudes.You can't go out of the world, so naturally use the wisdom of the world to do things in the world, don't fight for fame and fortune, treat life kindly, don't let the years go by.

Lao Tan sighed, but he also realized something. His state of mind was involuntarily cleared up, and he felt an indescribable ease and indifference, as if some garbage had been swept away from his body, and he became brisk and clean.

When walking back, it was getting dark, and I saw lights in the farmyard from afar, and the red lantern in front of the door was particularly conspicuous.

The table had already been set up in the yard, and Gu Yi, Wang Dong, and Gao Ju were sitting at the table chatting, and when they saw Lao Tan coming back, they greeted them and quickly sat down.

"How's it going? Let's eat here. It's cool in the yard, and the breeze blows comfortably, and there are no mosquitoes." Gu Yi said to Old Tan.

"It's really good. I eat in the yard in my hometown in the countryside." Old Tan said.

"It's still cool in the mountains, which is much better than private rooms with air conditioners. It's naturally cooler." Wang Dong said with a bit of excitement.

"This is a natural oxygen bar. People in the city can't enjoy it. If you can stay in this place when you get old, you will enjoy it." Director Gao said with infinite emotion.

Xanadu is good, but people have to survive and work hard for a living, and it is inevitable to fall into the busy world of fighting for fame and fortune.In fact, I can't think about it. If a leaf blocks the eyes, if the heart is big, there is heaven and earth, and there is a peach garden everywhere.

The service lady came over with a pot of stewed stupid chicken, put it on the table and was about to leave when Lao Tan asked, "Is this little stupid chicken from the Baishan Farm in front?"

The sister-in-law said: "Yes, it's just his family's chicken. It's delicious, even better than the ones raised by others."

"It has to be tasted."

There was a pot full of little stupid chickens, two were as many as a lot, and potatoes were put in it, which looked rotten and had a tempting aroma.

"This chicken is delicious. I tasted it last time. It is different from the one at home. The meat is solid and fragrant. Do you see the chicken feet? Small and black, only the chickens like this. The domestic chicken feet are big and meaty." That’s right. The chickens are raised on the mountain, they always run on the mountain, and they don’t grow up.” Gu Yi introduced it seriously.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of fish was served, which was very large, weighing more than four catties, and it was also served in a basin. It looked affordable, like eating in a rural area, and had an atmosphere.

The dishes were served up one after another, and Gu Yi poured the wine in a hurry.Director Gao also had a lesbian, who didn't drink white with Director Wang, and ordered beer.The beer is drawn with well water in the stone trough next to the well, which is better than ice cold.

Everyone drank the first glass of opening wine, then picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

Lao Tan sandwiched a piece of chicken, it was really good to eat.It has the chewiness of a pheasant and the aroma of a domestic chicken. It is chewy, biteable, and attractive.He ate a piece of chicken and put a potato in his mouth.The potatoes are soft, and the taste of the chicken soup has been eaten in. It tastes more fragrant than chicken.

Of course, it has to be said that the potatoes in Wuchuan are good, if the jute potatoes in Heilongjiang can't be stewed with this taste.

I took another sip of the chicken soup, it was good, it tasted good, it was moderately salty and fragrant, and I wanted to take a sip or two. If it was served with rice, I could eat three bowls.

Old Tan made up his mind to use this stroller chicken.

It seems that this trip to Wuchuan has been very fruitful, and I can't help but feel good after finding a good source of goods.

If you are in a good mood, drink a few more glasses naturally.

It's okay, it's a long night, the environment is fine,
In the small courtyard of the farmhouse, talk and drink.

Listening to the singing of mountains, water and laughter, the sound of insects and birds, and the cool night breeze; tasting agricultural soup and fish meat, simple tea and light rice, is refreshing and pleasant.

The food and drinks are closed, Director Gao is a bit busy, and Director Wang helped him to take him to rest.

Lao Tan and Guyi smoked a cigarette in the yard, then went back to their room and lay down on the kang.

"Brother Tan, see if that sister Wang is amazing, do you know why you want to live here?" Gu Yi asked.

Old Tan could feel some of Wang Dong's enthusiasm for Director Gao at the wine table just now, and said, "The two of you have made an appointment in advance."

"That's right." Gu Yi said with a smile: "A girl from Beijing fights alone. She doesn't know a few big brothers and can't get along. She also has an affair with Boss Sun, and Boss Sun helps her a lot. Looking at her age Yes, there is a way to deal with men."

Old Tan smiled and said nothing.

"Actually, she is a liar, but she is very clever. What is the new agricultural industrial park? Where is the industrial park? I have known her for five or six years and have never seen her. Do you know how she makes money? She has a good relationship with the leader and can be used Follow the policy, rely on the policy to make money. This time, she won’t bring out any potatoes when she cooperates with Wuchuan. Three hundred acres of land, even renting it out is a lot of money, and no one will do it for nothing.”

"Excellent!" Old Tan said.

"As long as a woman is beautiful, she will come to trouble again. It is easy to make money. Hey, it is true that men only learn to be bad when they have money, and women learn to be bad before they are rich. This is true. I told Boss Sun that it is no good to talk to such a woman less. But people don't believe it. If you have money, you are willing. Let's put it this way, when Sister Wang got up in Hohhot, she was all praised by Sun Boss.

Let me tell you, quite a few people cooperate with her because of Boss Sun's face, and she is nothing without Boss Sun——I feel that I can do it in the past two years, so I started to distance myself from Boss Sun.To put it bluntly, Boss Sun doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore, the children are getting married soon, so don't talk about it—"

Gu Yi revealed the relationship between Wang Dong and Sun Yucong. Lao Tan was not interested in this matter, so he changed the topic and said that he would go to Baishan Chicken Farm to see tomorrow, and then return to Hohhot.

The next day, Lao Tan and his party visited Boss Bai's Cordyceps chicken breeding base.

This is a real free-range chicken.

More than [-] chickens wandered around in the woods on the mountain, and it was almost impossible to see them without entering the woods.Chicks leisurely eat grass seeds, chatter about bugs, drink mountain spring water,
The eggs are laid in the grass, and you have to dig around with a basket to find them.

Chickens have also practiced [-] kinds of martial arts in the mountains. They can fly high with spreading their wings and jump high with their legs.It can be said that they are all good athletes, full of muscles, and not tasty.

Lao Tan negotiated a long-term cooperation with Boss Bai at a price of 48 yuan each, and ordered on the spot to send [-] to the provincial capital and [-] to Hohhot.
