Chapter 63: Boating on Pinghu Xie Zhaixiong
April is the time of year when spring is at its strongest. The spring rain is as moist as ointment, nourishing the earth, causing the earth to transpire and filling the earth with green.
April is also the time when it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. From time to time, a light rain brings a hazy veil to the world.
It was another weekend, and it was raining lightly outside the window. Gu Yi nestled in his attic, reading quietly, and occasionally looking at the hazy world outside the window.
In the hazy rain curtain, the green shadows of the plants in the courtyard flickered.
Raindrops fell on the glazed tiles, making a crisp and sweet sound that reached Gu Yi's ears.
After the new rain in the empty mountains, the grass turns green. It is the most beautiful time of spring, when people are tired and horses are tired, and the feeling of spring is strong.
Spring sleepiness makes people want to fall asleep.
"Brother Gu Yi! Brother Gu Yi!" Gu Yi took a nap in the afternoon, but was woken up by the energetic Lin Zi.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the rain had stopped outside the window, and the spring scenery was quite beautiful.
"Brother Gu Yi! Brother Gu Yi! Open the door quickly, open the door quickly!" Lin Zi knocked on the small wooden door of the attic making a loud banging sound.
"Come on, come on, don't knock." Gu Yi felt a little sad for his door, he couldn't stand this kind of torture.
When the door is opened, air convection occurs through the doors and windows, bringing a refreshing cool breeze after the rain, with a hint of grass.
Outside the door, there were Lin Zi and Yang Luan in pink sports suits, and Zhang Junbao, who looked slightly thin and muscular.
Zhang Junbao has lost a lot of weight during this period of exercise, and his original clothes were a little loose on his body.
The sportswear worn by Lin Zi and Yang Luan were sister outfits that Zhou Xiaoying bought when she took them on the street before the last Lantern Festival. Gu Yi also had the same style, and the two girls chose it for him. The gray one, Gu Yiting
Like.
"Brother Gu Yi, you said last time that you would take us fishing on the weekend." Lin Zi blinked her big eyes, full of expectation.
"Boss, I've done the calculations. Today, the water conservancy in the southeast, and Lord Xingjun, who is in charge of water conservancy, will definitely gain something!" Zhang Junbao came forward with a smile, pinched his fingers and said flatteringly.
"Speak humanly!" Gu Yi glanced at the fat man and said angrily.
Gu Yicai didn't believe it. This little fat guy had just studied with Yang Shan for a month or two and was so good at it. He probably hadn't even finished reading Zhou Yi yet.
"Uh, boss, didn't you say you wanted to take me fishing before? I feel like I'll get something good if I go today." Fatty Zhang paused and said slowly.
Some time ago, Zhang Junbao learned how to make fish, but he always felt that something was missing, so he brought him to school to ask Gu Yi, Yang Luan, and Lin Zi to help him.
Gu Yi and the two women also discovered that although the fish was delicious, it had a faint earthy smell. For ordinary diners, this fishy smell can be ignored as long as the taste is slightly aggravated.
But for Fatty Zhang, who is obsessed with food, this is absolutely unacceptable. At the very least, he must complete a perfect fish dish.
But among the ingredients I can get from my restaurant, this fish is already the best I can find.
Zhang Junbao's grandfather opened a restaurant in the town called 'Dashilin'. His ancestors have been cooks for generations. The Zhang family's restaurant in this town has been standing in this town for more than half a century since liberation.
.
The simple facade and quaint signboard stand on the side of this provincial road, receiving thousands of diners from all over the world, and the business is booming. The small facade has supported three generations of the Zhang family, built bungalows, and saved a lot of money.
Popularity stems from word-of-mouth. Although Dashilin is small, its reputation is well-known, and it is well-known among freight drivers.
Taking advantage of the time and distance, I come here to have a meal and take a short rest, and a simple sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously.
Although the ingredients at Da Shilin are not top-notch, they still show all the sincerity to the current level. They take them on the same day as they are used and never stay overnight. They try to choose the best ones and do not compromise.
‘Success is a matter of success, failure is also a matter of circumstance.’ With high-quality food, low prices, and meager profits, the Zhang family can only earn a hard-earned money, so they can only hold on to this three-thirds of an acre of land.
However, this preservation is also a memory, a legacy, and a kindness to the diners of the Zhang family. In the future, when the descendants of the Zhang family go out to open a store, this store will already be here.
This is the promise made by Zhang Kaicheng, the old man of the Zhang family, to all residents and diners in the town.
The ingredients Zhang Junbao uses for practice every day are selected from the ingredients prepared by these restaurants; although they are good, they are still not good enough.
"Okay! Since I'm going, I won't be able to come back at noon. Fatty, bring your seasoning bag." As Gu Yi's thoughts whirled around, he had already made arrangements.
"Don't worry, I've been carrying it for a long time!" The fat man patted the backpack and said proudly.
"Xiao Zi, go and tell my mother that I will take you out for a walk and tell them not to wait for us to eat and not to worry." Gu Yi made arrangements for Lin Zi.
"Okay!" Lin Zi happily took Yang Luan's hand and ran downstairs.
Gu Yi immediately dialed two numbers, one was Chen Tao and the other was Chen Kai.
If you want to say where in the town has the best fish, apart from Wuxie Waterfall Lake in the mountains, it is Shiliping Lake where Chen Kai Manor is located.
Wuxie has been developed into a scenic spot and is a bit far away. In recent years, the water quality has declined due to tourism. On the other hand, Shili Pinghu has better water quality protection.
And the most important thing is that it's not too far from Gu Yi's house. It takes a few minutes to drive and more than half an hour to ride a bicycle. It's even closer to Shantou Ridge where Chen Tao and others are, so Gu Yi simply asked a few people to come out and do some activities together.
.
After Shili Pinghu was contracted by Chen Kai, it was used as a fishing ground. Some people usually fished by the lake. Chen Kai was a generous man and never minded. After the completion of Pinghu Villa, he changed his mind and simply bought a few wooden boats to put on the lake.
, and set up a farm on the lake embankment.
Although it was just a temporary idea, the effect was surprisingly good, and people came in an endless stream.
Recently, Fatty Chen is planning to ask the Gu Yi family to help build several townhouse loft farms on the river embankment. They will be used to receive guests and have a place to eat and chat when their friends come.
Gu Yi called Chen Kai and asked Chen Kai to save two boats for him and others to avoid being rented out.
The group of people rode bicycles out, and soon they arrived at the foot of Pinghu Villa. The clean and spacious cement road winds up, and the osmanthus trees on both sides are lush and green.
"Haha, great talent Gu, great nephew Gu, why did you come to your uncle Kai's place to be a guest?" As soon as Gu Yi and others stopped the car, Chen Kai's hearty laughter came from inside the village.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, there are some social aspects, but it is undeniable that perhaps this is the key to Fatty Chen's success as a person and work, and it is difficult for people to dislike him.
"Haha, Uncle Chen is sorry, is there still a boat?" Gu Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course there is a boat, right there." Chen Kai pointed.
Gu Yi looked along and saw a beautiful boat with orchid paintings docked quietly on the shore.
Gu Yi was stunned.
"Haha, eldest nephew, I heard you say that there are ten people, and my painting boat can just fit in it. It saves you from having to build two boats, so I made the arrangements for you on my own." Chen Kai said with a smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Of course, using this boat is better than taking two boats, but it doesn't look like this boat is rented. It should be the boat used by Fatty Chen himself.
"Boss, we're here." Not far away, Chen Tao and others just arrived and ran towards Gu Yi.
A group of people got on the boat. The boat was quite spacious, and it was no problem to accommodate ten people. There was also a small table in the middle, and the boat's planks were thick.
"Niece, you don't mind if I follow you, Uncle Chen, to join in the fun!" Gu Yi entered the boat, and Chen Kai also followed in with a smile.
"Of course." Gu Yi smiled and replied, maybe it was his mother's instructions, maybe Chen Kai also had his own ideas.
The boat drifted leisurely towards the center of the lake. Pinghu was very large, surrounded by green mountains, and the water was clear. The fish meat produced was also the most delicate and sweet. There were many creatures in the lake. Pinghu has not been emptied for many years. No one knows how much fish essence and shrimp are brewing in it.
Strange.
The depth of the lake is unknown. On the wide surface of the lake, there are many water birds and egrets, which stir up little waves. The depths of the lake are filled with mist, and there is no trace of people.
