The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Chapter 204 Chapter 204. He is my father

Pickled cabbage baskets are actually steamed buns stuffed with pickled cabbage, but the skin of the buns is not made of white flour, but cornmeal.

When making vegetable baskets, meat is generally not put in them.

The reason is simple, because I can't afford it.

But Xu Changlin’s family doesn’t need to buy meat.

Therefore, when Xu Baoshan was a child, he only ate meat-filled sauerkraut baskets at Xu Changlin’s house.

For Xu Baoshan at that time, it was the best thing he had ever eaten.

From then on, for a long time, even if the conditions at home were very good, the sauerkraut baskets could be used as meat, but no matter how Xu Baoshan ate them, they were not as good as the sauerkraut baskets made by Xu Changlin's wife.

In those years, Xu Baoshan always looked forward to going to Xu Changlin's house and having another meal of pickled cabbage baskets.

This hope lasted until work. On the first day when Xu Baoshan was assigned to the forest farm, he went to Xu Changlin's house with gifts.

The nephew suddenly came to visit, which surprised the old couple, but seeing the rich gifts Xu Baoshan brought, the old lady said that the child was affectionate and righteous.

Seeing that it was almost time to eat, the old lady said politely and asked Xu Baoshan what he wanted to eat, and Auntie would cook it for you.

Xu Baoshan ordered the pickled cabbage basket without saying anything.

It just so happened that the old lady had originally planned to make steamed steamed buns the day before. When she heard that Xu Baoshan wanted to eat the sauerkraut basket, she immediately ordered Xu Changlin to fish for sauerkraut.

At that time, Xu Changlin could still go up the mountain, and his family had not only wild boar meat, but also Heixiazizi oil.

When she thought of the gift Xu Baoshan had brought for herself, the old lady became excited, her hands shook, and she put in too much oil.

Heixiazi oil is inherently fragrant, but when the sauerkraut is steamed out of the basket, the oil seeps into the corn dough skin, not to mention how fragrant it is.

This meal of pickled cabbage baskets allowed Xu Baoshan to regain his childhood memories.

since that day. Xu Baoshan would come to the door from time to time with gifts... to enjoy the meal.

It was okay once or twice, but as time went by, the old man and the old lady got used to it. These days, the nephews are not so filial to their uncles.

Moreover, this Xu Baoshan festival starts in November every year and lasts until Qingming Festival in the following year.

You know, you can only eat sauerkraut every other year until Qingming Festival. After the Qingming Festival, you can’t eat sauerkraut.

Thinking again, Xu Baoshan always ordered pickled cabbage baskets every time he came to the house, and the two elders understood.

From then on, as long as Xu Baoshan comes. The old lady steamed the sauerkraut basket for him without asking.

Today, when Xu Baoshan heard Zhao Jun say the words "Xu Nai" and "Sauerkraut Basket", he immediately realized: This little ancestor is one of his own.

Then, Xu Baoshan thought again, if Zhao Jun is one of his own, then Zhao Youcai is one of his own, Li Dayong is one of his own, and so is Zhou Jianjun.

Even Director Zhou...

The more Xu Baoshan thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He smiled at Zhao Jun and said, "Follow me. I'll find someone to take you."

With that said, Xu Baoshan stood up and walked out, and Zhao Jun hurriedly followed.

Zhao Jun followed Xu Baoshan out to the third room on the east side. When he opened the door and entered, he saw rows of large iron cabinets.

Xu Changlin pointed to the second iron cabinet from the left in the north. Said to Zhao Jun: "This cabinet is for you."

Said. Xu Baoshan opened the cabinet.

There is a set of rulers, poles and hammers in the cabinet, but these are old.

Xu Baoshan turned around and said to Zhao Jun: "These are all left by Old Li Tou after his retirement. It's up to you whether you want them or not.

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Yes, why don't you want it? I can't bear to use this new set of mine."

Xu Baoshan glanced at Zhao Jun and was very satisfied with Zhao Jun's attitude.

When Zhao Jun put the new tools in the cabinet and then took the old set in his hand, Xu Baoshan reached out and took out a key and a lock from the top of the cabinet, handed them to Zhao Jun and said, "Take it." Okay, don’t lose it.”

"Okay, team leader, I understand." Zhao Jun took the key and lock and said, then locked the cabinet.

Wait for Zhao Jun to lock the cabinet. Xu Baoshan waved to him, and then led Zhao Jun to the left.

There was a door at the end of the left passage. He opened the door and walked through the corridor. When he came to another door, Xu Baoshan opened the door but did not enter the room. He just shouted through the door: "Ma Liang, come out."

As soon as Xu Baoshan finished speaking, someone in the room responded: "Master, I'm here."

Then there was a sound of footsteps. A very capable young man appeared at the door.

Ma Liang nodded to Xu Baoshan and said, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Xu Baoshan shook his head to the side, signaled to him, then turned around and walked back.

Ma Liang hurriedly followed and closed the door behind him.

The master and apprentice came in front of Zhao Jun. Xu Baoshan pointed at Zhao Jun and said to Ma Liang: "This is the new guy. You take him with you."

When Ma Liang heard this, a smile appeared on his face, he stretched out his hand towards Zhao Jun and said cheerfully: "Ma Liang."

"Zhao Jun." Zhao Jun reached out and shook Ma Liang's hand, thinking that Mrs. Xu's tiger skin was not in vain.

In the previous life, although Li Dayong did not have the deputy leader of the dispatching team.

However, Zhao Youcai and Zhou Jianjun are still there.

But even so, Xu Baoshan did not ask Ma Liang to lead Zhao Jun, but arranged a master for Zhao Jun.

Some people may think that Ma Liang is young, but the old master has experience and skills, so he is more suitable than Ma Liang.

In fact, the old master is retiring in a year and has long since lost his ambition and desire to curry favor with the leader.

When he taught Zhao Jun, he was completely perfunctory and smoked several packs of cigarettes from Zhao Jun in vain.

And what about Ma Liang? Although he is young, he is the backbone of the acceptance team and Xu Baoshan's proud disciple.

At this time, Xu Baoshan said to Zhao Jun: "Learn well from your brother Ma. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Xu Baoshan patted Ma Liang on the shoulder again and said, "This is one of our own. You should teach him well."

Hearing this, Ma Liang nodded and said, "Master, don't worry."

"Yeah." Xu Baoshan hummed, raised his legs and left.

After Xu Baoshan left, Ma Liang said to Zhao Jun: "Come with me, I will take you for a walk."

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Ma."

Ma Liang is in front and Zhao Jun is behind. The two walked through all the office areas of the acceptance team.

Finally, the two arrived outside the house.

Towards the back of the house, there is an open space where a few logs are piled.

Ma Liang used these pieces of wood as teaching aids to explain to him how to measure rulers.

Gauge ruler, to put it bluntly, is the procedure for inspecting the quality and yield of wood when accepting it.

Ma Liang taught carefully and taught Zhao Jun how to use various rulers to measure the diameter and length of wood, and then use the diameter and length of wood to check the volume.

At the end of the morning, Ma Liang's jaw almost dropped.

Seeing that it was time for lunch break, Ma Liang looked at Zhao Jun in shock.

He couldn't imagine that there were such smart people in the world. Zhao Jun could remember what he taught Zhao Jun once. You can learn it.

This was hard for Ma Liang to believe, but the fact was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Brother Liang." After one morning, the relationship between the two of them was already very good. Ma Liang also changed from Brother Ma to Brother Liang in Zhao Jun's place.

Zhao Jun said: "It's almost noon now, should we go eat?"

When Ma Liang heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, pulled Zhao Jun and ran back.

The lunch time of the forest farm is at twelve o'clock sharp, but the acceptance team is outside the forest farm, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk to the forest farm.

If we go back at 12 o'clock, we can't get good food in the cafeteria. Therefore, Xu Baoshan gave his subordinates a convenience, that is, the people in the acceptance team did not have to wait until 12 o'clock for lunch break, and could go to the forest farm 20 minutes in advance.

Ma Liang returned to the office, took two aluminum lunch boxes and walked out.

As for Zhao Jun's lunch box, he always kept it in his shoulder bag and carried it on his back.

The two of them left the acceptance group and walked all the way to the forest farm. I didn’t see other colleagues from the acceptance team on the road. This is because the acceptance inspectors have to go to various factories to check the rulers. When they are busy, they even have to eat and live in the factories, and they are rarely in the acceptance team.

After returning to the forest farm, Zhao Jun and Ma Liang were walking on the way to the canteen and saw many forest farm employees in a hurry.

I vaguely heard someone say that today is the first day of official operation of the forest farm. The leaders of the farm have specially allocated funds to prepare good meals and dishes for the employees. If they arrive late, they will be gone.

Hearing this, Ma Liang hurriedly said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, you just came to work in our forest farm. You may not know. Brother, let me tell you, our forest farm has two canteens. The food in the first canteen is better than that in the second canteen, especially It’s Zhao Youcai, the master chef of a canteen, and everything he cooks is delicious.”

"Yeah, yeah." Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly.

Ma Liang looked around and whispered to Zhao Jun: "But remember, if you want to catch up with Master Zhao to serve food, you must not line up in front of his window."

"Ah? Why?" Zhao Jun asked puzzledly.

Ma Liang said: "Master Zhao has a bit of a weird temper. It's up to him to spank you more or less. If he doesn't like you, he'll shake a spoonful of vegetables for you. There won't be anything left from your spoonful. ”

While talking, the two entered the cafeteria.

At this time, three long lines had already formed in the cafeteria.

There are four windows and three long lines because there are only seven people standing in line in front of one window.

And inside the first window, the person standing was none other than Zhao Youcai.

"See, that's Master Zhao. Even though there are few people there, we can't queue up there." Ma Liang glanced around as he spoke.

I glanced around and saw no one I knew, so I couldn't jump in line. Ma Liang said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, you line up the second window, and I line up the third window. If you get there first, you call me. Let me take a picture of you in front. If I get there first, I call you." "

When Zhao Jun heard this, he said to Ma Liang: "Brother Liang, I want to go and line up at a window."

Ma Liang frowned and looked sideways at Zhao Jun, wondering why this kid was so dumbfounded. He even told him that, but he couldn't even understand.

But since Xu Baoshan said that Zhao Jun was one of his own, Ma Liang said to Zhao Jun with sincerity: "Brother, don't look at the small number of people queuing at the window, but this shows the problem. Do you know what to eat today?"

As he said this, Ma Liang pointed to the wall and saw that on the small blackboard, the first line read Chicken Stewed with Potatoes.

"Chicken stewed with potatoes." Ma Liang said, "If you go to Master Zhao's place to get food, you might eat a spoon full of potatoes, not even a chicken tip."

The tip of the chicken is the butt of the chicken. What Ma Liang said is a bit exaggerated.

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "No way. Look, there are dozens of people lined up at other windows. How long will the queue last? Brother Liang, come with me. Let's go to the first window."

When Ma Liang heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and said to Zhao Jun: "Then you go to a window and wait in line. I'll finish the dishes later and I'll go find you."

With that said, Ma Liang took the lunch box and ran to the second window.

Zhao Jun came to a window. There were five people left here, and Zhao Jun was the sixth.

At this time, several people who were queuing in front of the second window saw Zhao Jun, a stranger, queuing in front of the first window. They all felt that this young boy did not know the depth of things.

Zhao Jun vaguely heard someone saying that this guy looked like a new guy.

Zhao Jun sighed inwardly, feeling a little helpless. My father is really a tyrant in this No. 1 cafeteria.

The five people soon arrived at Zhao Jun.

When he saw Zhao Jun in front of the window, Zhao Youcai raised his eyelids slightly, as if he didn't recognize his own son, and asked, "What are you going to eat?"

"Two rolls and one chicken stewed with potatoes." Zhao Jun said as he pressed the price on the small blackboard and handed over the money and meal tickets. Zhao Youcai took the money and meal tickets without looking at them. It was thrown into a wooden box aside.

Zhao Jun opened the two lunch boxes one by one. Putting it on the sill in front of the window, Zhao Youcai picked up the tongs, took out a flower roll from the large steamer next to it, and placed it in the aluminum lunch box on the left.

Then he put down the tongs, stretched his hand under the window sill, grabbed a steamed bun, and put it in the aluminum lunch box.

Zhao Jun was stunned and just about to speak, he saw that the steamed bun was split horizontally, and something seemed to be stuck inside.

Zhao Jun did not speak, but he saw that Zhao Youcai did not serve chicken and stewed potatoes for Zhao Jun from the large basin in front of him, but instead opened the lid of a separate iron pot on the small stove next to him.

In this iron pot. It also comes with chicken stew and potatoes. But unlike the big vegetable pot that didn't have a lot of chicken, this small pot was mostly filled with chicken and only a few pieces of potatoes.

One spoonful, two spoonfuls.

Normally one scoop is one serving.

But Zhao Jun asked for a portion, so Zhao Youcai gave him two ladles in a row.

And it was two tablespoons, and the aluminum lunch box was almost full.

"Eat it." Zhao Youcai said.

Zhao Jun smiled at Zhao Youcai, took the lunch box and left.

At this time, most people were still queuing at the other three windows, and only a few people finished their meals and sat down to eat.

Zhao Jun easily found a table against the wall and sat down. Seeing no one around him, he secretly opened the bun and saw a fried egg inside.

"My dad can't poison me, can he?" A thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Jun's mind, but then he smiled, took out the fried egg, stacked it from the middle with chopsticks, and then stuffed the whole thing into his mouth and chewed it. stand up.

So delicious!

These days, the winter in Northeast China is so cold that the hens in the countryside can no longer lay eggs.

Few people in the village could eat eggs. The few eggs Zhao Jun ate at home were all taken back from the canteen by Zhao Youcai.

After finishing the omelette, Zhao Jun took the steamed bun and started to eat the chicken.

When the chicken was almost eaten and the two halves of the steamed buns were finished, Zhao Jun was already full.

It has to be said that if you have oil and water, you will save food.

Zhao Jun clicked the lunch box containing the flower rolls. Since he couldn't eat them, he took them back.

But at this moment, two aluminum lunch boxes were dropped opposite him.

Ma Liang sat down opposite Zhao Jun angrily and said, "These people are just trying to rob each other. We have just celebrated the New Year and there is no shortage of money and water. Why are they all rushing to study hard?"

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this. In the cafeteria, steamed buns cost one cent and two, and Hanamuan cost one cent and five taels.

Although the flower rolls are expensive, they contain oil. It's also salty and tastes better than steamed buns.

Most people may steam steamed buns, but they will never make Hanamaki.

Ma Liang looked forward to the stars and the moon, and had been looking forward to this flower scroll for a long time.

Zhao Jun opened the aluminum lunch box that had just been closed, pushed the lunch box in front of Ma Liang, and said, "Brother Liang, I haven't touched this. You can eat it."

Ma Liang was stunned and said quickly: "How is this good?"

But he wanted to eat it too much, so he said to Zhao Jun: "Then I will give you the money and meal ticket."

Zhao Jun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Liang, you have to follow the old rules. You are my master. A paper is nothing."

Ma Liang smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you. If anything happens in the future, I will protect you."

Just as he said this, Ma Liang's eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Jun's hand and saw the pile of chicken bones that looked like a hill.

Ma Liang was stunned.

Seeing Ma Liang stunned, Zhao Jun whispered: "Brother Liang, hurry up and eat. The food will be cold in a while."

Ma Liang picked up the chopsticks. Pointing to the pile of chicken bones, he asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, you just went to work and there is no food like this. How many portions do you want?"

"One serving."

Ma Liang looked at Zhao Jun with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Can one portion give you so much? How many meal tickets did you spend?"

"Just like you." Zhao Jun knew that Ma Liang was Xu Baoshan's apprentice and there were some things he couldn't hide from him, so he changed the topic and said, "But even if I don't pay for the meal, Master Zhao still has to get me food. "

Ma Liang looked at Zhao Jun in surprise. Thinking of his master's care for him and the pile of chicken bones, Ma Liang couldn't help but ask Zhao Jun: "Brother, tell me the truth, who are you?"

As he spoke, Ma Liang didn't even eat the chicken stewed with potatoes. He counted on his fingers and said, "I heard that Zhang Zhang's family has a girl, and Secretary Bai's family seems to have a boy, but he seems to be still in school."

"Okay, Brother Liang." Zhao Jun laughed, stopped him and said: "Brother Liang, you may have misunderstood. What I mean is..."

At this point, Zhao Jun pointed to a window and continued: "He is my father."
