Chapter 948: The selfish and vain female supporting role (45)
"This is a good method!" Xu's mother's eyes lit up, "When the cherries ripen next year and a tourist group comes to our village, Lao Xu, you can roast some lamb and sell it. Someone must buy such delicious roasted lamb.
"
Xu Yin responded with a smile: "Someone must buy it!"
That is to say, the area around Xiangcheng is mainly for growing fruits. Except for the occasional sight of tourist buses coming in during the picking season, there are very few tourists in normal times. As for purchasers, the few hotels in the town are enough to stay. B&Bs and farmhouses are almost everywhere.
No, because there is not much business even if it is open.
Otherwise, with her spice recipes, she can support the daily flow of a farmhouse.
"Farmhouse? Are you talking about the kind your uncle's family has? A small restaurant for tourists to rest and eat?"
Xu Yin was stunned: "My uncle? He runs a farmhouse?"
"Yes, isn't there a long stream next to your grandma's house? There is a waterfall as you climb up the stream. In recent years, more and more tourists like to drive into the mountains by themselves. The county government has funded the development. Last year I heard
It is said that the 4A scenic spot has attracted more tourists. If you have a long way to go and you can't go back on the same day, you will spend money to stay in the villagers' homes. Is this what you call a B&B? Your uncle's house is small and cannot be accommodated in a B&B.
With a few customers, I discussed with your aunt about making some food to sell in front of your house, and put some tables, chairs, and benches so that tourists can sit down and rest when they are tired. By the way, you can buy some food from your aunt's stall, and you can earn some money.
My uncle said that tourists call this farmhouse."
Xu Yin did not expect that Shanlizhai, where her grandmother's house is located, has now been developed into a tourist attraction. Although it is not a nationally famous 5A scenic spot, it has beautiful scenery and abundant negative oxygen ions. The number of tourists who go there to escape the summer heat has doubled in recent years.
.
"I'll ask my uncle and aunt later. If they are willing, I'll ask Sister Chen to buy some secret barbecue ingredients. Then I'll set up a barbecue stall and the business will definitely be good."
"Okay, okay." Xu's mother responded, "Your uncle will definitely be willing."
It was not clear whether the uncle was willing or not, but the villagers learned that Xu's father had learned how to roast a whole lamb, and someone actually brought a little lamb over and asked Xu's father to help roast it.
It was Old Uncle Wang who came carrying the whole sheep.
His son is twenty-seven years old this year. He has finally found a partner and brought the partner to meet his parents today.
Uncle Wang got up early and went to the city to buy a lamb. He wanted to ask Father Xu to make a roasted whole lamb to entertain his son.
Although Father Xu is not very skilled yet, he has memorized the basic steps. When learning from his daughter, he also tried grilling lamb chops, steaks, and adding the dry ingredients without him having to adjust them himself.
Turn it over, be careful not to burn it, and sprinkle the seasonings evenly before taking it out of the oven. It will be delicious no matter what.
Uncle Wang, who came with the lamb and left with the roasted lamb, stuffed fifty yuan of processing fees into Father Xu's pocket and left in a hurry.
So delicious!
If he didn't walk faster, he was worried that he would tear off a piece and eat it on the way.
Smelling the aroma of roasted mutton, the neighbors who came to Xu Yin's house to watch the excitement saw him running away like a gust of wind, and they raised their voices and joked: "Uncle Wang, are you so stingy? The meat house won't let us eat, and they won't give us more of the smell.
Do you want to smell it?”
"No! You all heard about it. What should I do if the person my son finally brought home runs away?"
"Hahaha!"
The next day, someone met Old Uncle Wang and jokingly asked his son's partner if he liked roasting whole sheep? Is the marriage planned?
Uncle Wang smiled happily and narrowed his eyes: "That's right! Thanks to Mingkang for helping me cook the whole roasted lamb. Xiao Liu said that he has never tasted such delicious roasted lamb and wants to eat it again in the future."
If you are willing to come again, it means that the marriage is on track!
Everyone is happy for old Uncle Wang.
Xu's roasted lamb became an instant hit.
Now that life is better, we always buy some beef and mutton to eat during the Chinese New Year. Many people come to the door with their children's filial lamb legs and lamb chops to be grilled by Xu's father. While waiting, they will say a few words: "Mingkang, you can open a shop with your skills."
"
"Uncle Mingkang, if you need to hire people to open a shop, remember to find me. It's okay if the salary is small. Just roast a whole lamb once in a while and share it with me."
"Old Xu, for my fiftieth birthday next year, I will order a roasted whole lamb from you in advance."
Xu's father was delighted when he heard this: "No problem."
In the past few days, I have earned six to seven hundred just by roasting lamb chops, legs of lamb, chicken, and duck for the villagers.
Making money is secondary. The main thing is that his skills have been greatly improved through repeated practice and have been recognized by everyone.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, a forty kilogram tender lamb was roasted for the village chief’s family. The village chief who had tasted Xu Yin’s cooking before said that there was no difference in taste.
Xu's father said happily: "Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, I will roast the suckling pig!"
On New Year's Eve, Uncle Xu's family came very early. At eight o'clock in the morning, the kiln started to operate. Roast chicken, roast duck, roast fish, roast whole lamb, roast suckling pig. The small ovens on both sides took turns to hold biscuits, egg tarts, and small breads.
...The charcoal fire will not be extinguished until four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xu Yin's yard is always warm, and the children in the village don't want to leave. In addition to being warm, there are endless snacks, baked goods, and endless freshly squeezed juice.
The New Year's Eve dinner was also very sumptuous. Xu's mother and Jiang Yanqun worked in the kitchen for most of the day, frying meatballs, smoking fish, stewing seafood, duck soup, and making dumplings of several flavors.
After the ancestor worship ceremony ended, the family gathered in the bright and warm new house, surrounded by a table full of delicacies, and raised the crystal cup in their hands: "Happy New Year's Eve! Cheers!"
…
Returning to her parents' home on the second day of the first lunar month, Xu's mother was more excited than ever on the second day of the first lunar month.
This year we have a car at home. Although it’s just a small truck, it’s definitely more comfortable than catching the bus early in the morning. What’s more, the car is very big, so there’s no need to be crowded. You can take whatever you want with you and put it wherever you want.
The most important thing is that my daughter is willing to go to her grandma's house.
This makes people happier than bringing any gift.
Along the way, Xu’s mother kept talking about the changes in her family’s family over the past few years:
"Although the bus can't reach Zhaizikou yet, the roads have been repaired and the winding mountain highway is paved with asphalt. The cars are easy to drive, so there are many tourists here."
Xu Yin looked at the scenery on both sides of the mountain road, approaching the hinterland of the forest. The air was indeed very good, with negative oxygen ions bursting through the air.
"Dad, Mom, can we build a house at my grandma's house? It would be nice to build a vacation house. It would be nice to come here for vacation in our free time."
"Building a house in the mountains? Isn't this just a waste of money? Your uncle and the others still want to move out if they have the conditions! Life in the mountains is so inconvenient!"
"..."
Well, it's like a siege - people outside the city want to get in, and people inside the city want to get out.
There was a heavy snowfall in the mountains two years ago, but as New Year's Eve approaches, the sun shines brightly. After a few sunny days, the snow on the mountains has melted a lot, and the ground at the entrance of the village has long been shoveled clean by the diligent people in the village.
Zhang Li contacted his eldest sister years ago and confirmed that she would return to her parents' home on the second day of the new year. After having breakfast, he took his son to the entrance of the village and waited.
