Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Although they haven't tasted the fried chicken made by Gao Mingcheng yet, just by smelling it, Gao Yue and others felt that the fried chicken made by Gao Mingcheng would definitely not be too bad.

The key to whether the food is delicious lies in whether it has both color and aroma. Food with a unique and attractive aroma will definitely taste the same.

Gao Yue saw the fried chicken in a big bowl and said, "It's done? Then we have to have a taste!"

Gao Yue reached out to grab a fried chicken leg, but was stopped by Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Why are you in a hurry? It needs to be fried again to make it crispy and delicious! Gao Yue, ask your friend to sit down and rest for a while. I will finish it soon."

Gao Mingcheng invited everyone to sit down in the backyard. The store in front sold clothes, and in the backyard, stools for entertaining guests had already been set up.

"Shufang, we're ready to make burgers!" Gao Mingcheng shouted, and Gao Shufang immediately let out a sigh and started to make burgers.

She first divided the bread she bought into two, then cut the cucumbers and tomatoes into slices, but the most important thing was the salad dressing.

Although this thing is sold in ready-made sauce, the price is a bit expensive.

Gao Mingcheng did not make chicken fillets this time, but marinated and fried chicken breasts and used them to sandwich the burgers.

He put the slightly cool oil pan back on the stove fire. After the oil was hot, he fried the chicken breast again. During the re-frying, the batter coating the chicken breast immediately became golden and crispy, and the aroma was even more fragrant. The yard filled the air.

"It smells so good!" Several of Gao Yue's friends sat on the stools politely, but when Gao Mingcheng started to explode again, they all came over curiously. Smelling the domineering meaty aroma, Lin Ye couldn't bear it. He sighed in admiration.

"It smells so good!" Zhao Jinghe took a deep breath, as if she wanted to suck all the fragrance into her stomach.

The marinated chicken is already cooked when it is first fried, and now it is re-fried very quickly. Several pieces can be fried at the same time in one pot.

A few minutes later, Gao Mingcheng put the drained chicken breast on a clean plate and handed it to Gao Shufang to start making burgers.

So the attention of several people shifted to Gao Shufang.

I saw Gao Shufang first put a few slices of cucumber on a piece of bread, then put salad dressing on it, then placed a piece of hot fried chicken just out of the pan, put a few slices of tomatoes on top of the fried chicken, and finally put salad dressing on it.

This foreign fast food relies entirely on various sauces for seasoning.

After arranging the layers one by one, cover the top with a piece of bread. In this way, a simple version of the burger is completed.

"The burgers are ready, you all should have a try!" Gao Shufang said to Gao Yue and the others with a smile, and warmly welcomed them to eat burgers.

While they were eating burgers, Gao Mingcheng continued to fry the chicken legs and wings. After all these were fried, he fried the chicken racks.

These fried foods are divided into two flavors when pickled, one is spicy and the other is not spicy.

If you find it's not spicy and you don't like the flavor, you can also sprinkle some chili powder on the fried chicken.

The chili powder is prepared by Gao Mingcheng himself. It is mixed according to the Yunnan dipping recipe and sprinkled on the fried chicken to add flavor.

This time, Gao Yue called seven or eight friends over. Although they all had good appetites, Gao Mingcheng prepared ten white-feathered chickens, which was enough for everyone to enjoy.

"How about it? The foreign fast food I make is no worse than KFC, isn't it!" Gao Mingcheng chewed on a piece of chicken wing and said in a sultry tone.

"I can also make mashed potatoes, French fries, cabbage salad, etc., but now I don't have the ingredients, so I haven't made them. Now, add iced Coke to it, and it's complete!"

Gao Mingcheng opened the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of Coke, and invited everyone to drink.

Gao Yue and the others were so satisfied with their meal that they didn't even have time to talk. However, they were indeed a little thirsty. When Gao Mingcheng took out the Coke, they all drank it.

Gurgling, the cold Coke entered your mouth. After a while, bubbles rose from your stomach, making you burp.

"No, I can't eat anymore. If I had known it was so delicious, I shouldn't have eaten at noon!" Zhao Jinghe stared at the fried chicken drumstick in her hand, which she had just taken a bite of, with a confused look on her face.

She couldn't bear to put it down and felt like she wanted to continue eating, but her stomach was indeed full again.

When they were in Shanghai, a few of them sat in a KFC store for more than half an hour and spent more than 100 yuan, but they felt like they were not full.

But why are you full now?
Zhao Jinghe lowered his head and thought about it. He didn't eat much, so he only ate a hamburger, a chicken wing, a chicken rack and a chicken drumstick!

Not to mention Zhao Jing and a girl, even Gao Yue, Lin Ye, Wang Zhiyuan and other boys felt very full at this time.

Compared with the portions of fried chicken in KFC stores, the portions of fried chicken here in Gao Mingcheng are obviously much larger!
What's more, this time is not meal time. They have just had lunch, so their combat effectiveness has been reduced by at least half!

"It's so delicious, Brother Mingcheng, you are such a talent!" Gao Yue tried his best to finish the chicken wings in his hand and burped with satisfaction.

Gao Mingcheng looked at him sideways. Gao Yue was a few months younger than Gao Mingcheng, but because Gao Mingcheng and Gao Hong had a better relationship when they were young, the two often played wildly outside.

When Gao Yue was a child, he sometimes couldn't keep up with them and could only cry behind them, so maybe he was jealous or unwilling. Anyway, Gao Yue basically never called Gao Mingcheng brother, he always called him by his first name.

When Gao Mingcheng teased him to call him brother when he was a child, Gao Yue would keep a straight face and look unwilling, and sometimes he would even fight.

"Tsk, tsk, it's rare to hear you call me brother!" Gao Mingcheng squeaked, thinking that if he had special effects, it would be the kind of colorful light that could blind Gao Yue's eyes!

Gao Yue rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "I just convinced you that I called you brother! You said you have this ability, why didn't I know it before?"

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "My wife only needs to know what I am capable of. How can I let you know everything?"

"Haha!" Zhao Jinghe couldn't hold it back and laughed. Although she is a girl, she has a very outgoing personality. From the fact that she dresses like a spirited girl, you can tell that she is not a traditional girl. .

Lin Ye and others also praised Gao Mingcheng's craftsmanship and lamented that everyone had eaten KFC, but Gao Mingcheng could copy it one to one, but when he and others talked about it with relatives and friends, they only talked about it. How big and beautiful the store is, how many people line up, how much each food costs, etc.

No more can be said.

At most, he can say what kind of food he thinks is delicious and what kind of food is not delicious.

When Gao Mingcheng was researching the recipe, Gao Shufang and others ate fried chicken and praised him for making it delicious. But Gao Mingcheng was not proud, because there is no such thing as fried chicken that is not delicious!

But now, Gao Yue and the others said that the food they cooked was delicious, and Gao Mingcheng felt a little proud.

These young people have eaten authentic KFC in Shanghai. When they come back, they can still say that the food they made is delicious. That means it is really delicious!
Gao Mingcheng said: "About the second half of the year, I will open a store in the county. When you guys go on winter vacation, remember to come to the store to take care of the business!"

"Okay!" Gao Yue said first.

The rest of the people also expressed their opinions, saying that they would definitely take care of Gao Mingcheng's business.

Not to mention, after eating Gao Mingcheng’s fried chicken, they no longer miss KFC so much! It seems that the filter on KFC has been somewhat shattered.

After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Gao Mingcheng took the initiative to mention going to Xiaofu Mountain to pick fruits.

During the Chinese New Year last year, everyone got together to play billiards, and Gao Mingcheng promised to take them to pick fruits.

He is a man of his word and never lies.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Now the peaches, pears, and bayberries in the mountains have matured one after another. I have picked two batches of them! Some watermelons and cantaloupes in the fields are also ripe. If you want to pick fruits, then arrange a visit. Time, I’ll take you there!”

"Oh, by the way, you said you wanted to go camping in the orchard? If you really want to go camping, just prepare your own tent."

Lin Ye smiled and said deliberately: "I remember you said at the beginning that you would use the sky as your quilt and the earth as your bed, with the bright moon shining on you and the roar of insects and beasts as your companion. Why do you need to prepare a tent now?"

Lin Ye was a top student and had a very good memory. Although several months had passed, when this topic was mentioned, Lin Ye remembered what Gao Mingcheng had said.

Everyone else also remembered it, so they all looked at Gao Mingcheng with a smile.

Can Gao Mingcheng be teased by them? That must not be possible.

Gao Mingcheng said calmly: "It's okay if you don't bring a tent. If you sleep in the mountains for one night, you may be covered in mosquito bites, or you may get bitten by snakes!"

In his previous life, after Gao Mingcheng got rich, he never followed the trend and went camping anywhere, because he lacked a romantic streak for this thing!
Instead of living in a nice house, live in a small tent? You will still face various risks, so what are you aiming for?

When he said this, several college students suddenly lost their thoughts on camping.

The word camping is a foreign one. These college students have a wide range of contacts and have learned some Western styles.

Gao Yue glanced at Lin Ye and the others and saw that they had given up, so he said: "There is really nothing to camp in the village! I still remember threshing millet when I was a child. My father was responsible for guarding the grain drying ground at night. My parents were there, so my brother and I had to go together. We slept in the haystacks and got stung and bitten by mosquitoes! "

Thinking of the past, Gao Yue suddenly felt itchy on his skin, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito.

Lin Ye and the others hurriedly said: "Camping is a joke, we don't want to camp! I'm free every day, what about you? If we are free tomorrow, why don't we go pick fruits tomorrow!"

Zhao Jinghe was the first to agree and echoed: "Okay."

Wang Zhiyuan, Song Xiaoxiao and others had no problem, so they quickly decided to go to Xiaofu Mountain to pick fruits tomorrow.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, his time was freer and he could accompany him at any time.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Gao Yue and the others: "We will go in the morning tomorrow, have a meal in the village at noon, and then return to the county seat after the meal. What do you think?"

Gao Yue nodded, thinking it was okay, and the others also nodded.

Gao Mingcheng added: "Let's do this. Each of you will bring a dish tomorrow, and we will cook and eat together! Oh, you don't need to bring eggs. I have eggs, duck eggs, vegetables and so on!"

It's not that Gao Mingcheng is stingy. He can buy all the vegetables by himself. What does this expense mean to him?

But by letting everyone buy groceries and cook together, it feels like going on an outing to build a team.

Only by involving everyone can we get closer to each other.

Those who can play with Gao Yue naturally have rich families. Gao Mingcheng asked each of them to prepare the same dish. Instead of being disgusted, they became more and more happy and started to discuss what they would each bring.

Because there are a lot of people, you have to discuss it in advance, otherwise you will have to bring duplicate dishes.

You don’t need to bring eggs, duck eggs and seasonal vegetables, so there won’t be many vegetables to bring. Back and forth is just some meat.

Lin Ye was the most cunning and the first one to say that he wanted to bring pork!
Being beaten to the punch by him, the others could only stare at him helplessly.

"I'll bring a fish!"

"I'll bring braised vegetables!"

"I'll bring fried peanuts!"

"..."

Everyone said something to me, and we quickly discussed it.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Okay, let's meet here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and drive my car then."

Gao Yue already knew that Gao Mingcheng had bought a car, so he laughed and joked a few words, and then said that there were too many people and they might not be able to sit down.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Ladies will have priority in taking seats. Men, if you can't sit down, sit in the back. If you are afraid of the sun, remember to wear a hat!"

"It's okay." The young men in the 90s were not pretentious. It would be nice to have a car. Even if they were asked to ride bicycles, they would not hesitate.

After deciding this matter, everyone stopped staying here to disturb them, and one after another said goodbye to Gao Mingcheng and the others and left.

Early the next morning, they came as expected. Gao Yue brought a pound of dried cuttlefish and a bottle of Site wine.

The young man who talked about hairtail brought a three-pound grass carp, suitable for braised in soy sauce.

When everyone arrived, everyone put the ingredients in the car compartment first, and then started to get on the car.

Gao Mingcheng was the driver, so he naturally sat in the driving seat, while Gao Yue occupied the passenger seat.

Among their group, there were two girls, Song Xiaoxiao and Zhao Jinghe, sitting in the back row, and then two boys were squeezed in.

Four people sitting in a row are not too crowded, because they are all slim, and it will take more than ten years before they gain weight!
The boys who didn't sit on the seats had to climb to the back of the car and sit on the small bench prepared in advance.

They were indeed prepared, but instead of wearing a hat, they brought a thin long-sleeved shirt. Now that they covered their heads with the thin long-sleeved shirt, they were less afraid of the sun.

On a hot day, the reason why we wear thin and long sleeves is because of the advice of our elders!

The elders have experience in doing farm work in the fields and know what they will encounter when entering the mountains, so they are told not to be afraid of the heat and to wear long sleeves and long trousers, which can avoid many injuries.

In the mountains, mosquito bites and thatch cutting are inevitable. (End of chapter)
