Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Huang Dazhi's expression was slightly serious. He looked at Gao Mingcheng and whispered: "Do you still remember the case of tomb robbing and fake antiques that you helped solve last time?"

Gao Mingcheng recalled briefly and nodded.

It had only been a few months, so he naturally had an impression.

Huang Dazhi continued: "The case has almost been investigated. Shi Laosan and the man nicknamed Second Uncle have also been sentenced to prison. The clues to the imitation antiques have not been completely found yet."

"The reward for this case has been reduced, and the Higher Bureau has also won a reward for you. The Higher Bureau will definitely tell you about this later."

"But I'm not looking for you because of this, but because I got news that someone has come to our county and is privately inquiring about the case. Our police are open about it, so they are not afraid. They are just afraid of inquiring about you. "

Having said this, Huang Dazhi's expression became more serious. He looked at Gao Mingcheng with concern and worry in his eyes.

Gao Mingcheng's expression became serious when he heard this.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention."

Although he participated in that case, there was not much movement. Outsiders did not know his existence. Only the police and criminals knew about him.

However, now those criminals have either been sentenced or are still being held in detention centers. It is not easy for the other party to get information from the outside.

But if the other party has great supernatural powers and sees the people detained in the detention center and asks about it from their mouths, that is also possible.

Gao Mingcheng himself is naturally not afraid, but he has a family and a small child, so he naturally has to worry more.

After talking to Huang Dazhi, Gao Mingcheng went to see Gao Guobing.

It's almost time to get off work, and there's nothing going on in the bureau. Everyone is getting ready to pack up and get off work.

Gao Guobing was also packing up. When Gao Mingcheng came in, he was putting the documents on the table into the drawer. When he looked up and saw Gao Mingcheng, he smiled and waved to Gao Mingcheng to come in.

"You went back to Gaojiacun a while ago? How is your family?" Gao Guobing asked.

Gao Mingcheng stepped forward and said: "Everything is okay. My sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter a few days ago. Now she has a son and a daughter."

Gao Guobing was happy and said with a smile: "This is a good thing!"

The uncle and nephew walked to the solid wood sofa and sat down. They talked about the recent trivial matters about the parents' affairs, and then mentioned that Gao Yue would be back in two days.

Gao Guobing suddenly said: "When Gao Yue comes back, I plan to let him study in the detention center."

Gao Mingcheng was stunned, and then he remembered what Huang Dazhi had said before, and he suddenly understood what Gao Guobing meant.

Gao Guobing continued: "Did Huang Dazhi come to see you just now?"

Gao Mingcheng nodded, and Gao Guobing smiled and said: "I guessed it. When he got the news a few days ago, he wanted to talk to you about it. These days, as soon as he got off work, he went to your store. After staying for a while, He just took his wife home."

"Don't worry, the bureau will definitely not let the news out. I've also said hello to the detention center. Oh, the reward I won for you has also been received. I'll go get it for you. "

Gao Guobing got up and went to the desk to get something, but Gao Mingcheng didn't care what the thing was, because the so-called rewards were mainly spiritual rewards, supplemented by material rewards.

Gao Mingcheng took what Gao Guobing handed over and said, "Uncle, it's time to get off work. Let's go back together. I got two wild boars yesterday and I was about to give you some pork."

"Okay, let's go back together." Gao Guobing smiled and left the police station with Gao Mingcheng. The two chatted while walking, and they arrived home in just ten minutes.

Gao Mingcheng directly asked Gao Guobing to go to his house and pick out whatever piece of meat he liked.

Gao Guobing was not polite to him and took two pieces of front leg meat, weighing five or six pounds.

But Gao Mingcheng took out two more pig's feet and said that these were also for Gao Guobing, and then helped Gao Guobing to deliver them to his home.

At this moment, it happened that Zhao Dongmei also came back from get off work, carrying a bag of popcorn in her hand.

When he saw Gao Mingcheng, he immediately opened the bag and called Gao Mingcheng to eat popcorn.

Zhao Dongmei said: "On the street just now, someone was popping popcorn, so I bought some. This popcorn contains saccharin and is very sweet."

When Gao Mingcheng heard about saccharin, his eyelids jumped.

People at this time don’t know the dangers of saccharin. In daily life, saccharin is quite common, such as popcorn. Put rice or corn into the popcorn machine, then pour a little saccharin into it, and it will pop. Rice Krispies will be sweet.

Some people even use saccharin for cooking and soaking in water to drink.

The reason for using saccharin is also very simple, that is, it is cheap!

Faced with Zhao Dongmei's warm reception, Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to reach out and grab a handful of popcorn, hold it in his hand and eat it, but he still said, "I don't think the fried popcorn is as delicious!"

Zhao Dongmei nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, this popcorn is popped directly from rice, but the fried rice popcorn is much more troublesome. First, the glutinous rice is steamed, then dried in the shade, and finally fried with clean sand. , this stir-frying requires attention to the heat. Once the heat is not controlled properly, it will be easily burnt."

"By the way, Gao Yue will be back in two days. I plan to go to the market to buy some fried rice krispies and candies! Oh, Mingcheng, after Gao Yue comes back, you can bring Duomei and Xu Xu over to my place for dinner. , our two families get together, it’s lively.”

Gao Mingcheng nodded and agreed: "Okay."

After making an appointment for dinner, Gao Mingcheng didn't stay any longer and prepared to return to the clothing store.

As soon as he returned, he smelled a strong fragrance, with a hint of sweetness in it, which smelled very good.

Gao Mingcheng knew what kind of dish it was when he smelled it.

What supplements, to be precise.

People here believe that pig heart is not a vegetable, but a tonic. Stewing pig heart with brown sugar is the simplest and most nutritious tonic.

The pig heart is stewed in the small pot, while the ribs are stir-fried in the big pot. After the ribs are stir-fried and the flavor is acquired, they can be simmered in water until they are half cooked, then put into the copper hot pot, and then cooked over charcoal fire. Put vegetables like tofu.

"Let's eat hot pot tonight!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, and then asked Duomei: "Have you given Luo Li's share of meat?"

Duo Mei nodded and said: "Yes, when Huang Dazhi came to pick up Luo Li just now, he asked him to take it back. I heard from Luo Li that when Huang Dazhi went on vacation, he would pick up Luo Li's third sister. Now It's winter, and there's not much work in the village. Her second sister wants to cook and make clothes at home, so she plans to call her third sister here."

Gao Mingcheng also smiled when he thought that Luo Li had a bunch of younger sisters and younger brothers.

Huang Dazhi's family couldn't spare any time to take care of Luo Li, but there was someone in Luo Li's family!

As he was talking, Gao Mingli came back from get off work on his bicycle.

When Gao Mingcheng saw him, he said: "Mingli, yesterday my dad asked about you and asked you to go home when you are free. Oh, by the way, you drive my tractor back and take Shufang back with you. I will give Shufang a week's rest." long vacation!”

Mentioning the long vacation, Gao Shufang, who was cooking, couldn't help laughing.

Gao Mingli also laughed and teased her: "Not bad, we have a long holiday! Okay, then I will go home after my holiday."

After explaining the matter, Gao Mingcheng felt relieved and took advantage of some time before dinner to play with his son.

When he lifted little Xuxu high, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh. It would be great if little Xuxu was bigger, so that he could teach little Xuxu how to stand and build a good foundation before practicing boxing.    In addition to martial arts, playing basketball, football and table tennis are all available.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the father and son playing.

"Hey, grow up quickly. When you grow up, daddy will take you to see the world!" Gao Mingcheng gently pinched Xiao Xuxu's face, which made him grin and drool!

Gao Mingcheng wiped his saliva with a tissue in disgust and complained: "Why are you drooling all the time? It keeps flowing!"

Hearing this, Duo Mei was not happy and said for little Xuxu: "Xuxu is teething, so drooling is normal! I heard that some children are still drooling when they are three or four years old. ! Now Xiao Xuxu is very powerful. Give him half an apple and he will bite off half of it in a short time!"

Gao Mingcheng said: "Oh, that's it, then our little Xuxu is still very good! Eat more apples, it's good for your health!"

Time passed while teasing the children. Not long after, Gao Shufang said loudly: "Ready to eat!"

So everyone came towards the table one after another and looked for seats to sit down.

A dinner brought laughter and laughter.

The next morning, Gao Mingcheng saw Hu Yinchen's new way of making grapefruit peels.

I saw her wringing out the soaked grapefruit peels, and then mixing them with salt, chili powder and other seasonings. At this point, it was almost the same as ordinary pickled grapefruit peels, except that less garlic was added.

But then, Hu Yinchen put the mixed grapefruit peel into the pot and steamed it!

After steaming for ten minutes, take out the steamed grapefruit peel, pour it into a clean dustpan, and use chopsticks to pull it apart to avoid any mess.

"Okay, after drying, it will be delicious!" Hu Yinchen smiled, carrying the dustpan to find a place to dry on the second floor.

After she came back, she said: "The sun has been out these days and the wind is strong. Let it dry for three or four days and it should be dry. When it is dry, you can put it in a bottle and take it as a snack if you want. also."

Gao Shufang's face was full of amazement and she said: "This is the first time I have seen this practice in so many years!"

She felt deeply shaken.

Duo Mei, Zhang Jinling and others also nodded.

This kind of practice should be practiced by other villages or other counties. This kind of practice does not exist in their Gaojia Village area.

Hu Yinchen said with a smile: "I've never seen it before. I ate what my neighbor gave me and found it delicious, so I followed suit. By the way, my neighbor's craftsmanship is very good. She can also make dried eggplants and dried chili peppers. !”

Many beauties said in confusion: "What's so strange about dried eggplants and dried peppers? In what year do people in our village not dry dried eggplants and dried peppers?"

Hu Yinchen laughed and explained: "It's not that kind of dried eggplant, but another kind. Let me tell you how to make it, and you will know the difference."

So Hu Yinchen told me how to make dried eggplant and dried pepper.

After listening to it, many beauties and others were really surprised.

In their concept, dried eggplant is just sliced ​​eggplant and dried in the sun.

Who knew there were such complicated craftsmanship!

First, boil the eggplant and dry it in the sun, and then make the stuffing. The stuffing needs to be made with glutinous rice flour, chili pepper, salt, etc. Mix the stuffing, stir-fry and steam it, then put it on the sun-dried eggplant slices. The top and bottom need to be pressed with eggplant slices, and then continue to be dried until it is 80% dry, then steamed in a pot and dried again!

As for the dried chili peppers, the method is actually similar, that is, stuffing stuffing into the chili peppers, and then the method is similar.

After hearing this, he simply shook his head and said, "This is too much trouble! Does it taste good?"

Hu Yinchen smiled and said, "My neighbor has made a lot of it. Let's do this. I'll ask her for some and bring it to you to try."

Duo Mei said: "There are so many of us, you should spend some money to buy some, I will give you the money to take!"

Hu Yinchen thought for a while and did not refuse.

She took the money and quickly went home. After a while, she returned to the store with a bag of things.

Hu Yinchen said with a smile: "I bought it, please try it quickly! Let me tell you, I have already found out how to make it, and I plan to make some and try it when the eggplants come down next year!"

Hu Yinchen opened the bag and motioned for everyone to come and taste it.

Gao Mingcheng sat aside and watched several women talking and doing things. He thought it was quite interesting.

When Hu Yinchen opened the bag and let him taste it, he picked up a piece and started eating it.

Don't tell me, I still miss this taste!

Because the preparation of dried eggplant is quite complicated and requires glutinous rice flour, in the past, the living conditions here in Gaojia Village were average, so no one made this snack.

Yes, this thing is a snack!

Take a bite, it’s glutinous and spicy!

Dried eggplant and dried chili are Jiangxi’s specialties. Jiangxi people love them, but outsiders, it’s best to taste them with caution!

"Is it delicious?" Hu Yinchen asked.

I have taken two bites of Duo Mei. The first bite felt a little strange, but the second bite became more and more delicious.

This glutinous and spicy taste is indeed very popular among Jiangxi people. Even if it is your first time to eat it, you will become addicted to it.

"It's not bad. I think it's delicious. After it's made, it can be stored for a long time. If you want to eat it, take out a few pieces." Gao Shufang said, then looked up at Gao Mingcheng and asked, "Second brother, what do you think?" How about it?"

Gao Mingcheng nodded. He hadn't had this bite for a long time, so he missed it a little.

Seeing her second brother nodding, Gao Shufang immediately said, "Second brother, you can plant more eggplants next year!"

Gao Mingcheng laughed, it turned out to be this idea.

"Okay." He agreed immediately.

In their village, every household with land will grow two kinds of vegetables, one is eggplant and the other is pepper.

When planting next year, he will tell Zhang Chengyuan and ask Zhang Chengyuan to help grow some eggplants.

Eggplant has many uses. It tastes good whether fresh or dried.

"Yeah! Second brother, you're so kind!" After getting what she wanted, Gao Shufang threw a rainbow fart to Gao Mingcheng. (End of chapter)
