Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

At about [-]:[-] in the morning, Xie Linfeng started to finish his pole and was ready to go home and make lunch.

At the same time, Lao Chen had already stopped and left. It seemed that there was something at home that needed to be dealt with.

Only Lao Huang is still continuing to fish, and it looks like he will leave before lunch again today!
  ……

Xie Linfeng returned to the small courtyard. After putting the fish into the fish pond, he immediately began to prepare for setting a new fishing fee standard.

Taking the laptop into the tea room, Xie Linfeng began to check the market prices of various local fish species.

While inquiring, I was still recording in my notebook, and I quickly marked down all the market prices of common fish species in the lake.

The local ones in the ancient town could not be found. Xie Linfeng only found the market price of fish species in the city.

Among them, the prices of the four major fish species are similar to what Xie Linfeng knew before.

Carp is the cheapest and can hardly be sold at a high price. After all, only a minority of people like to eat carp.

Moreover, in some places in the south, carps are considered to be hairy animals that can induce many diseases!

Therefore, although the price of carp is not low, it is not sold locally at all!

The price of silver carp is very low, with an average price of less than ten yuan per catty, and in some places it is only seven or eight yuan.

Grass carp is slightly more expensive, but it only costs a dozen yuan, so the price is not high.

The same goes for carp, ranging from a dozen to twenty, depending on the area. Anyway, there are many waters around Yunmiao Village, so it is less than twenty.

Other fish are more expensive, and the market price of Qiaozui can be more than [-] pounds per catty.

The black fish is slightly lower, but still around [-] to [-].

The price of catfish is similar to that of black fish, but authentic wild native catfish is now rare.

Therefore, it is basically a situation of price but no market.

As for yellow pepper dices, it’s really hard to tell the local price, after all, this kind of fish was rarely seen here before.

According to the memory of Xie Linfeng’s predecessor, fish like yellow spicy ding was regarded as trash fish by the locals ten years ago!
  Moreover, it seems that it is an invasive species, but it has only begun to be accepted and served on the dining table in recent years!
  However, because of its tender and delicious meat, the price is now almost one every year.

According to the prices found online, the price of local yellow peppercorns has now risen to over thirty!
  Some large supermarkets are even more expensive, with items in their [-]s and [-]s, and demand exceeds supply!

Therefore, the fish in the lake can be roughly divided into three categories!
  The four major fish are first-class, which is the lowest class, with the lowest price and the largest quantity!
  Therefore, if you are only fishing for the four major species of fish, you can still keep the original fishing fee.

Then, snakeheaded fish and catfish can be listed as first-class, both are moderately priced, and the fishing fee is tentatively set at 300/one rod/day!
  The last one is Qiaozui and Huang Lading, which were ranked the highest by Xie Linfeng!

The fishing fee for these two kinds of fish is listed as 500/one rod/day!
  However, Huang Lading needs to go to specific places to fish.

At the other end of the lake, there is a large shoal, which is most suitable for Huang Lading to survive.

Therefore, there are a lot of yellow peppers there, and you can catch at least ten or twenty kilograms in one day of fishing!

The day before yesterday, Xie Linfeng only fished for half a day and caught more than ten kilograms.

Although there are baits rewarded by the system and Xie Linfeng’s master-level fishing skills!
  However, as long as ordinary people are not extremely unlucky, there will definitely be no problem in returning their money and landing!

After setting the fishing fee, Xie Linfeng began to think about how to notify fishing friends.

First of all, among the several groups of fishing friends formed by the villa, the new fishing fee standards were announced at the top.

Later, Xie Linfeng also had a publicity board remade and placed at the gate of the villa and the only way to the lake.

However, the production of the bulletin board takes time, at least it cannot be done today!

Therefore, he deliberately refreshed the screen several times in several groups of fishing friends.

As it happened, Lao Chen and Lao Huang were already free at this time and began to help Xie Linfeng inform the new standards for fishing fees.

Sure enough, after the new fishing fee standards came out, a few fishing friends were dissatisfied.

Fortunately, most fishing friends think this standard is quite reasonable.

After all, few fishing friends who really like fishing are short of money.

In addition, the density of fish in Shanzhuang Lake has always been very high, making it quite enjoyable for most fishing friends.

Therefore, as soon as the new standards came out, they quickly aroused the support of most fishing friends.

Seeing that the new standards did not cause much dissatisfaction among fishing friends, Xie Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, the new fishing fee standard has been determined and will be officially implemented starting tomorrow!
  ……

After doing this, the time just reached around [-] noon.

After being free, Xie Linfeng began to put away his laptop and prepare for today's lunch.

First, kill the carp that you specially left behind before, and pack them out to prepare for steaming.

I caught a few more carp and prepared to make crucian carp soup.

Forget about other fish, eating fish every day is a bit tiring, so Xie Linfeng prepared some spare ribs.

Let's cook some potato ribs for lunch, and add some vegetables at most.

Three dishes and one soup should be enough, after all, there are only four people eating at noon.

Xie Zhiyao and Chen Nanxing were going to the village committee for a meeting today. Xie Zhiyao had already said before that he would not come for lunch.

Therefore, there were only four people, Xie Linfeng, Xu Hongdou, Xu Hongmi and Nana at noon.

Three dishes and one soup are enough for four people.

After all, there are three women among the four, and women’s appetites are not as strong as men’s!
  ……

After washing the ribs first, drained the water and filtered out the blood.

Then, stir-fry some seasonings with hot oil and cold oil, then pour in the drained pork ribs and start stir-frying.

After the aroma of the seasoning has almost penetrated into the ribs, add appropriate water and start stewing.

Remember to add a little cooking wine in the middle to remove the fishy smell, then cover the pot and turn to medium-low heat to simmer.

After the ribs are half-cooked, you can add the potatoes cut into cubes.

Simmer for another twenty minutes, until the potatoes can be gently cut with a spatula.

You can turn to high heat to collect the juice. Remember not to collect it too dry and leave a little more juice.

A dish of Xie Linfeng’s homemade potato ribs is ready!

This is Xie Linfeng's own approach, and he doesn't know if others do the same.

Anyway, this is what he does, and he thinks the taste is pretty good!
  When the ribs are ready, the crucian carp soup in the other pot is also ready!
  Uncover the pot, take out the steamed carp on top of the pot, sprinkle with some seasonings, and add a little secret sauce.

Then, he put it on the chopping board aside.

Then, the crucian carp soup from the bottom of the pot began to be poured out.

Put all the dishes on the table and cover them to keep them warm.

I washed the pan again, heated the oil, and fried a piece of lettuce. I didn't add any salt, so I just added some soy sauce for seasoning.

When the lettuce was out of the pot, the three women returned to the courtyard in time.

The main reason was that before the dishes came out, Xie Linfeng had already made a video call to Xu Hongdou to ask about their return time.

Therefore, when the three girls came back, all the dishes were finished cooking.

……

Xu Hongdou was the first to walk into the kitchen. Nana went back to her room to wash up, while Xu Hongmi was still on the phone in the yard.

Seeing Xu Hongdou walk in, Xie Linfeng, who had just put the vegetables on the table, saw this and chuckled:
  "Hey, why don't you go and wash up? Dinner will be served soon!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou chuckled and said:

"I've already washed up. I washed up at the temporary rental house before."

"Now, just wash your hands again!" As he said this, Xu Hongdou turned around and came to the kitchen sink, turned on the faucet and washed her hands.

Afterwards, he and Xie Linfeng began to prepare the dishes and chopsticks.

At this time, Nana had also come out of the room and came to help!

After placing the dishes and chopsticks, Xie Linfeng looked at Xu Hongmi who was still on the phone in the yard, and asked with a smile:

"Sister Hongmi is so busy with business every day. Should we wait for her?"

Xu Hongdou on the side saw this and chuckled:

"It's okay, let's eat first, she will be here soon!"

While talking, Xu Hongdou had already found a place to sit down, and took off the lid of the vegetable bowl and put it aside.

As the lid was opened, the rich aroma of the food immediately burst out.

Soon, it filled the entire kitchen.

Even Xu Hongmi, who was on the phone in the yard, seemed to be attracted by the smell of the vegetables and couldn't help but turn her head and look towards the kitchen.

Seeing Xu Hongmi looking over, Xie Linfeng informed her with his mouth and pointed at the food on the table!
  Seeing this, Xu Hongmi nodded slightly and pointed to the mobile phone in her hand, indicating that she would come right away.

At the dinner table, Xu Hongdou had already filled a large bowl of rice and started to eat it first.

However, Nana saw that Xu Hongmi hadn't been served yet and was sitting aside with some restraint, waiting.

Nana's performance was seen by Xu Hongdou on the side, and she couldn't help but smile:
  "Nana, let's eat! Don't wait for my sister, she will be here soon!"

When Xie Linfeng saw this, he smiled at me and said:
  "Yes, Nana, let's eat first, it won't taste good when it gets cold!"

As he said that, Xie Linfeng reached out and helped Nana fill a bowl of rice.

Then, the three of them started to pick up their chopsticks.

In the yard, Xu Hongmi finally finished her phone call and walked over slowly.

First, she stretched out her head to look at the food on the table. Xu Hongmi said with some surprise:

"Hey, did you make steamed carp today?"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled, nodded, and said with a smile:

"Yes, I caught a lot of carp in the morning, so I kept a bigger one and made a steamed carp."

"What, Sister Hongmi, don't you like carp? There are also potato ribs here!"

When Xu Hongmi heard this, she shook her head and said:
  "No, you are mistaken. On the contrary, I quite like eating carp!"

"It's not just me, Hong Dou also likes to eat carp. When I was a kid in the countryside, my grandma often cooked it for me and Hong Dou!"

Xu Hongdou on the side heard this and nodded in agreement, saying:

"Yes, when I was a kid, I loved eating the steamed carp cooked by my grandma the most!"

"So many years have passed in a flash, and even grandma is no longer at home..."

Speaking of this, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but become a little silent.

Not only Xu Hongdou, but also Xu Hongmi on the side.

When Xie Linfeng saw this, he knew that the two of them were thinking of their grandmother who had just passed away years ago!
  Therefore, he quickly laughed out loud and said:
  "Oh, I thought you didn't like eating it. After all, not many people like eating carp!"

"So, try it quickly and see if there is any difference between the steamed carp I made and the one your grandma made?"

After being interrupted by Xie Linfeng, the mood of the two women suddenly improved a lot.

So, they each actually took a piece of fish and tasted it.

As soon as the fish enters your mouth, the umami flavor from the fish itself and the aroma of the seasonings will flow into your throat.

I have to admit that the steamed carp dish made by Xie Linfeng does taste good.

To be honest, in terms of taste alone, Xie Linfeng's is better than grandma's.

However, what grandma made carries some childhood memories of the two girls.

Therefore, to be fair, the two women still think that the steamed carp cooked by their grandmother is more delicious!
  ……

"How's it going? It tastes pretty good. It shouldn't be much worse than what your grandma makes, right?"

Xie Linfeng couldn't help but chuckled and asked after seeing the two women taste it.

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi nodded slightly and said:
  "Based on the taste alone, Ah Feng, you did a pretty good job."

"Besides, your carp itself is very good in terms of ingredients and doesn't seem to have any fishy smell?"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded and said:
  "Yes, the quality of the fish in our villa is pretty good, even the carp doesn't have any fishy smell!"

“That’s why so many fishing friends like to come to our villa to fish!”

"Oh? Is it the water quality that makes the quality of the fish in the villa so good?"

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi asked casually in surprise.

"Forehead……"

Although Xu Hongmi just asked casually, Xie Linfeng was somewhat asked.

"That's it!"

Xie Linfeng pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.

In fact, water quality is only one of the reasons, but it is not the main reason.

The biggest contributor to the excellent quality of Shanzhuang fish is the nutrient solution!

Nutrient solutions do more than just enhance the growth rate of fish in the lake.

It can also improve some quality and deliciousness.

However, we can't talk to Xu Hongmi about the nutrient solution, after all, it involves the existence of the system.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng could only blame the water quality. It happened that the water quality in Villa Lake was indeed very good!

……

On the other hand, Xu Hongdou shook his head and said after tasting it:

"I think your cooking is not as good as my grandma's. I think grandma's cooking is more delicious!"

Hearing Xu Hongdou's words, Xu Hongmi smiled and said:

"What's more delicious is that grandma put more soy sauce."

"Besides, the previous soy sauce tasted very good, and the taste was richer and more fragrant!"

"Nowadays, the soy sauce has no soy sauce flavor. At least the soy sauce in the past can be used to make soy sauce bibimbap."

"And what about the current one, can it still be made? I'm afraid it's hard to say how good it tastes!"

Xie Linfeng heard this and nodded in agreement:
  "Yes, soy sauce in the past was all made from real grains!"

"But now, it's all about technology and hard work!"

"So, if you want to say that my cooking is not as good as your grandma's, that has nothing to do with my cooking skills!"

"If you want to blame, just blame the current soy sauce companies!"

Hearing Xie Linfeng's accusation, Xu Hongdou was speechless.

Yes, Xie Linfeng's cooking skills have been certified by everyone.

Therefore, this really cannot be blamed on Xie Linfeng's cooking skills, and it is a "crime other than war"!
