Longing for mountain village life

Jiang Tian thus became the head of Taoshan Village and sat in the office of the village committee, but his job was quite simple, and he basically did not have to be responsible for anything.

Like some labor disputes and family trivia in other villages, because there are few people here, plus they are all elderly people, and they don't have that hard work, so the village is very well managed, and Jiang Tian doesn't need to bother at all.

However, one thing is a little strange, the village account does not have much money, it stands to reason that these several times contracted land, orchards, Jiang Tian is a one-time payment, there should be a lot, these money are stored in the village account, used as the village's infrastructure.

He specifically asked the old village chief and was told that part of the money was handed over to the town, and some of it was deposited in his name for a regular period, and when the time was up, the money could be distributed to the villagers with principal and interest.

This kind of thing should not be said to be, but the village here is the norm, and Jiang Tian also asked him to take it out quickly, but he didn't expect that the old village chief didn't reply to him again.

On this day, Jiang Tian marinated pig's head at home, poured various seasonings into a large cauldron, prepared to boil over a high fire, and then put in the wild boar's head.

This wild boar head is so big that it needs to be marinated for a long time to get all into the flavor.

Looking at the various seasonings in the pot, Jiang Tian had a whim.

"Grandpa, let's take advantage of this pot to make a marinade, I remember you made it before, and you still have two or three years of old marinade."

At that time, Jiang Tian was not small, followed his parents back to pay New Year's greetings, grandpa took out marinated chicken feet, duck feet, pig's trotters, etc., the taste is particularly good, fat but not greasy, let him eat very enjoyable, now think about the mouth drooling, and then come back every year to eat, but then there is none, Jiang Tian still feels a pity.

"The marinade taste, you can do it, just now if you marinade, you can eat it in a few months, when the marinade will continue to be saved, and when it comes to the root, it is estimated that it will be a good brine." Grandpa agreed.

"That jar of marinade is considered a waste, alas, the old things will not be mentioned." Grandpa remembered the events of that year, and there was something in his heart that was not a taste.

Jiang Tian didn't say much, he heard from his mother that it was the second uncle and the third uncle who fought in his grandfather's house, it was said that because of some trivial things, coupled with his wife's incitement, there was such a contradiction, no one was convinced, and they fought in front of many people, making a very ugly fight.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two is very stiff, basically have not seen them contact, usually the New Year is wrong, not together at all, let them reconcile.

The jar of marinade was broken during the fight, and since then, Grandpa has not made the marinade again, until now.

This matter, Jiang Tian, the junior, was originally not qualified to evaluate, but he was also very angry, no matter how bad your two families are, they can't fight in your grandfather's house in front of so many villagers, isn't this purely embarrassing your grandfather.

"Since you make a marinade, just a wild boar's head can't do, but also chicken paws, duck paws, pig's trotters, and this marinade is not simple, these big ingredients are not enough." Grandpa soon stopped thinking about it, but said with interest.

"The marinade I got at the beginning is not simple, not only is it a large ingredient, but also a lot of Chinese herbal medicines, such as angelica, hundred herbs, white fruits, what to eat, it tastes very good, and it is very nutritious, good for the body, more importantly, there is a taste of wild ginseng for more than ten years, this is precious, that is, I get it at home to eat, if I take it out and sell it, I am reluctant."

"These common medicinal herbs are available at home, if only you put some Chinese medicinal herbs such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in it, but now it is not easy to find, last time we were able to find it, it was purely luck."

"It's hard to say!" Jiang Tian said, since ginseng can be placed in the marinade, it can't be missed just like that, wild ginseng is rare for the outside world, but here is Taoshan Village, wild ginseng in the huge mountain forest is, it takes effort to find.

But Jiang Tian doesn't have to worry about this, whether it is a python or Hai Dongqing is in the mountain, he can let them help find it.

"Grandpa, can this ginseng be put in later?"

"Of course you can, mountain ginseng is placed in it is similar to soaking wine, don't care about morning and evening, but care about time, how, listen to your meaning, is thinking of looking for ah, you have to be careful, these few times into the mountain, have not encountered anything good, don't go in easily."

"Know!" That being said, the perfunctory in it can be heard.

Since he was going to make the marinade, Grandpa also began to help find out the various Chinese herbs that had been dried before.

Jiang Tian burned the pot stove fiercely, the tongue of fire constantly wrapped around the bottom of the pot, a large pot of clear water soon gurgled and bubbled, the green onions, star anise, and ginger cubes inside were already soaked softly, and a rich flavor of seasoning came out.

Bringing out the large seasoning inside, Jiang Tian put peppercorns, fragrant leaves, licorice, and chili peppers into a cloth bag, tied them with rope, and threw them into the pot.

At this time, Grandpa had already found the Chinese herbal medicines, and these things were not wrapped in cloth, but directly thrown into the pot.

Looking at the tangerine peel, Jiang Tian said with a smile: "Grandpa, how many years of tangerine peel have you had, it really can't work, we can use fresh." "

Tangerine peel is orange peel dried, can be used to make tea to drink, wash feet, but also can be used to cook, many uses, in general, the market sells tangerine peel, that is the longer the more expensive, but just dried tangerine peel does not have much price.

Grandpa looked at the tangerine peel and thought for a while, "It is estimated that it must be two or three years, it is quite well preserved, there is no hair, just used for marinade, this seasoning is ready, you go to the vegetable market in the town to see, buy more pig's trotters, chicken feet or something."

"I have a hunch that when the time comes, Dong Shihao's kid will definitely be able to eat a lot alone."

Jiang Tian laughed, it seems that the image of Dong Shihao, a foodie, is already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Okay, I'll go!"

Jiang Tian drove his van, and as soon as he went out, he saw Xue Chengdong coming over.

"Jiang Tian, where are you going?" Xue Chengdong shouted.

"Ready to go to town and buy something, what's wrong?"

"I came to talk to you about farming, and I happened to go to the town to see what could be raised."

"Okay, come up!"
