Return to the small mountain village in 1986

After Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng chatted for a while, they stopped by Gao Mingwan's family who lived nearby.

Gao Mingwan was driving a car outside and has not come back yet. There are only two adults at home, Wang Xiuxiu and Hu Yinchen. As for the children, they are still sleeping in bed.

Mentioning the child, Wang Xiuxiu smiled bitterly and said, "Shasha often cries at night these days. She doesn't sleep at night and sleeps non-stop during the day. Even if I call her loudly, she can't wake up."

Hu Yinchen interrupted and said, "She is sleeping backwards! We can only adjust it slowly."

Then he said to Gao Mingcheng: "Mingcheng, I have hardly had any rest in the past two months. Xiuxiu left me to continue working here. I also forgot to tell you in time."

Gao Mingcheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm busy over there. When the kindergarten is ready to start, you can come back to my place to do things."

Hu Yinchen nodded and said seriously: "Okay! I will definitely go there then."

She stayed here to take care of Wang Xiuxiu's children, because she was very busy during the day and night, so her salary was slightly higher.

But Hu Yinchen knows the importance of importance. No matter how high the salary here is, it won't last long!
It would be better to work for Gao Mingcheng. Although the salary is slightly less, he is not tired and the lunch is good.

Gao Mingwan was not at home, so Gao Mingcheng did not stay here long. After delivering the fruits, he said goodbye and left.

Back home, Gao Shufang and the others were already chatting and laughing and preparing to cook.

Seeing Gao Mingcheng's return, Gao Shufang immediately said: "Second brother, I went to look at the watermelon field today, and I saw that there were already several watermelons that seemed to be ripe. So I picked a watermelon and picked it. After cutting it open, I found it was still a bit raw and couldn’t be eaten, so I had to give it to the chicken, but it would be cooked in a few days.”

Gao Mingcheng glanced at her and said, "Do you still want to pick it next weekend?"

Gao Shufang thought for a while, then shook her head: "I won't go, I'm so hot and sweating. I'll take a shower after dinner. You don't know, but I went to see the grapes. Who knew a wasp came out of the vine and almost stung me?"

Gao Shufang still had lingering fears when she mentioned this matter. If Lou Xinyu hadn't been by her side and grabbed her in time, she would have been stung by a wasp today.

Although it seems quite simple to hit a wasp with a wooden stick, if you accidentally get stung by a wasp, the pain will be quite sour!
In the mountains, in addition to bees and wasps, there are also some harmful insects, such as caterpillars, mosquitoes, etc.

There is a kind of mosquito in the mountains. It is very big and its bite is very painful. One bite can cause a big bag!
In addition to bugs, some weeds in the mountains are also very annoying. If you cut your hands or feet, it will make you itchy.

Gao Shufang was used to living in the county. If she occasionally went to work in the fields and pick fruits, she would be quite happy, but she would not be happy if she went there often.

Gao Mingcheng followed their wishes and did not force anything.

In the past, he had to return to the village in time to deal with these things. Now that there is a tractor in Gaojia Village, he no longer has to worry about it. If there are too many eggs or the fruits are ripe, someone will bring them to him.

As for picking fruits, he also told Chen Dasong that if there were not enough manpower, just ask Chen Dasong to call two people from the village to help.

As long as the money is in place, everything will be easy.

Three more days later, this afternoon, Gao Yue came to the clothing store carrying a bag of Shanghai specialties.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for several months, but they were very happy to see each other again.

Gao Yue opened the bag and said that these were specialties bought from the Shanghai market and gave them to Gao Mingcheng and the others to try.

In addition to a bag of specialties, Gao Yue also brought a lot of photos.

He heard that Gao Mingcheng went to the capital in April and took a lot of photos, so when he went to Shanghai, he also rented a camera and took a lot of photos with his friends.

Through these photos, you can get a glimpse of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Gao Mingcheng looked through the photos. Every time he read one, he passed it to the many beauties around him. After reading the many beauties, he passed them to the next person to see.

When Gao Mingcheng looked at it, the expression on his face was very dull, but when they saw many beauties, they all exclaimed: "Wow! This house is so beautiful!"

“This mall is so big!”

"Ah! I know this one, it's that KFC store!"

Gao Shufang pointed to a photo with a proud expression.

In the photo, Gao Yue holds fried chicken and Coke and takes a photo with the KFC store behind him. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a long queue in front of the store!
Gao Yue noticed the movement here, and also leaned his head to take a look at the photo, and then said quite proudly: "To have a meal here, my friends and I queued for three hours! A meal It cost more than a hundred yuan! The piece of fried chicken I was holding cost two and a half yuan! The Coke in this store is also much more expensive than what is sold in the store! "

"It was our first time to go there and we didn't know how to order at first. We confusedly ordered a set meal, which included a piece of finger-licking chicken, a mashed potato or a small salad, and a small bread. Let me tell you The mashed potatoes taste really weird! The cabbage salad looks weird too, but it tastes good.”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "You just ordered this set meal? Are you not full?"

Gao Yue nodded and said with a worried look: "I was not full, so I had to order more. It cost more than a hundred yuan later. The key is, I still didn't feel full! After we came out of KFC, we went to find Went to a restaurant and had a bowl of noodles.”

After hearing what he said, everyone laughed.

Duo Mei glanced at Gao Mingcheng and said with a smile: "I have never been to KFC, but I have eaten all the things you are eating!"

"Yes! We have all eaten, and we are still full!" Gao Shufang also said with a smile, her tone was quite proud.

Gao Yue didn't believe it. These foods came from abroad. They had never been to KFC, so how could they eat them?
"How is it possible? There are only KFC stores in the capital and Shanghai in China!" Gao Yue retorted, then realized what was happening and turned to look at Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng went to the capital in April this year, and there is also a KFC store in the capital.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, confirming Gao Yue's guess.

Gao Mingcheng said: "I ate it in the capital, and after I came back, I made it several times for my family. They all said it was delicious. I also think the taste is similar, and I plan to find time to open a store."

Gao Yue's face looked like you were joking, and he said in disbelief: "Are you bragging? How could you do this? They have never eaten it before, so how could they believe it even if you said it?"

Being questioned, Gao Mingcheng must have been unhappy, and immediately said: "Tsk, you still don't believe it, right? Okay, I haven't shown off my skills for a long time, so how about it, I'll treat you to fried chicken tomorrow! I, Gao Mingcheng version of fried chicken!”

"Tomorrow afternoon, call all your friends over. I'll treat you all to a meal, and then let you comment on whether what I make is as delicious as what foreigners make!"

Gao Yue is a young man. When he heard Gao Mingcheng's words, he became emotional and said: "Okay, then I will ask someone to come over tomorrow to eat! If it doesn't taste good, I won't save face for you. "Gao Mingcheng crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly, giving Gao Yue a look of contempt.

He has almost figured out the recipe for fried chicken burgers, but is he still worried that Gao Yue won't accept it?
After deciding on the matter, Gao Mingcheng went to a place specializing in selling chickens and ducks early the next morning. People come here to sell things every day, but only on the day of the market, there are so many people coming and going. There are so many farmers setting up stalls. You can put it in the middle of the road!

However, those who specialize in selling chickens and ducks have a more stable supply and more attentive services. This time Gao Mingcheng ordered ten white-feathered chickens. After weighing and calculating the money, he asked the chicken seller to help him kill the chickens and remove the feathers.

Killing a chicken and removing its feathers is not a difficult task, especially for experienced hands. First, capture the chicken and pluck out some of the hair on its neck to make it easier to slit its throat later.

Before cutting the throat, prepare a bowl of water and put some salt in the water. After the salt dissolves, you can drop fresh chicken blood into the bowl. After stirring and settling, you can get a bowl of blood tofu.

There are proportions of blood, water, and salt. For example, if you kill ten chickens in one go this time, you need to prepare more water. You can make a lot of blood tofu in one go.

After cutting the throat and bleeding, the chicken is not completely dead. At this time, you can throw the chicken in a bamboo basket aside and let the chicken struggle to its death. When the chicken stops moving, you can scald it with hot water.

Chicken feathers are easier to pluck than duck feathers. As long as the hot water is hot enough, you can pull out a large piece of chicken feathers with your hand.

Gao Mingcheng felt a lot more relaxed after this job was done by a chicken seller. He went to other places and observed the situation of the farmer's market, such as what was sold now and how the business of each store was. etc.

Half an hour later, Gao Mingcheng quickly returned to the clothing store carrying ten chickens.

When making fried chicken in the past, I only made two chickens at a time, but now I have to treat Gao Yue and his friends, plus my own family, so the more the better.

When he got home, he cleaned the chicken again and began to cut and decompose it.

First throw the chicken neck, chicken feet and chicken giblets aside and save them for later. Then cut out the wings, chicken legs, etc., and put them in different pots, ready to be marinated later.

Gao Mingcheng's knife skills were good and he worked quickly. He didn't need help from anyone else, so the others would just pick up the chicken necks and legs.

After cleaning the chicken offal, you can use it to stir-fry chili and eat it, especially with rice!

Chicken feet, chicken heads, etc. taste just average when cooked, but they can be braised and eaten as snacks, which is the best.

But there is something better to eat today. After cleaning these, you can put them in the refrigerator first.

Gao Mingcheng decomposed all the good meat from the chicken and then started marinating it. While marinating, he deliberately put the things in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

The weather is too hot now, and food is easily spoiled if it is exposed outside for a long time.

This is one of the reasons why he has almost researched the recipe of fried chicken burgers but is not in a hurry to open a store.

Once a store is opened, a large supply of white-feathered chickens will be needed, and the chickens will need to be cut by hand and stored in large refrigerators.

Now there is a refrigerator in the clothing store and in the new home, but this kind of double-layer refrigerator has a small capacity and is fine for daily use, but not for business.

If you want to do business, you have to buy a few more large freezers.

The next time he goes to Yangcheng to purchase goods, he won't be able to help Xiao Jinfeng transport the goods from Yangcheng because he has to rent the entire truck.

Gao Hong got married in October this year. Before that, Gao Guobing and his wife told Gao Mingcheng to help him buy a refrigerator and a washing machine from Yangcheng before October. Coupled with the large freezer he wanted to buy and a large amount of clothing goods, a truck compartment could be filled.

After lunch, the chicken wings and drumsticks were almost marinated, so Gao Mingcheng prepared to wash the pot and heat the oil. While the oil was burning, he quickly mixed the fried chicken with flour.

This thing has already been prepared according to the recipe proportions. Now pour it into a bowl, add water and stir it, and it is ready to use.

When frying chicken, coat the marinated chicken legs in batter and fry them in oil.

When Gao Mingcheng fried chicken, he relied entirely on feeling for the oil temperature. But if you want to know more intuitively when it is ready to fry, it is easy. Just insert the chopsticks into the oil pan. If the chopsticks bubble, then Ready to explode.

The batter-coated chicken legs were gently thrown into the oil pan, and they immediately made a sizzling sound. When they were fried to a golden color, they could be taken out and left to cool.

All the fried chicken must be fried first before Gao Yue and the others arrive, and then fried again after Gao Yue and the others arrive.

Fried chicken tastes the best when eaten hot.

While Gao Mingcheng was frying chicken, Gao Shufang helped run errands and went to the bakery to buy buns. Then she said, "Second brother, there is no lettuce. If we use cucumbers and tomatoes, will it taste bad?"

Lettuce is afraid of heat. At this time, lettuce is not available in the market. If you grow it yourself, you will have to get a sunshade net.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Don't worry about these, just use whatever vegetables are available! You wash the cucumbers and tomatoes first, and when they come, then slice them to make burgers."

"Okay!" After receiving the instruction, Gao Shufang nodded, indicating that she understood.

This time, it was not like a pure treat, but like a competition. Gao Mingcheng showed his talents, and Gao Shufang and others also hoped to convince Gao Yue and others.

Although they have never eaten at KFC, they really think the food made by Gao Mingcheng is delicious!

Not inferior to that KFC at all!
But Gao Yue didn't think so, which made everyone very unhappy.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yue came to visit with a group of good friends.

His friends were very unconvinced when they heard that Gao Mingcheng could make the same food after eating KFC once.

So as soon as Gao Yue called them, they ran over with great enthusiasm.

"Mingcheng, is your fried chicken ready?" Before entering the store, Gao Yue smiled maliciously.

But when he walked into the store, he immediately smelled the aroma of fried chicken. This aroma... I wouldn't say it was exactly the same as KFC, but it smelled really good!

My stomach immediately made a growling sound. This was because the glutton was being seduced!
Not long after lunch, I felt hungry again! (End of chapter)
