As soon as it dawned the next day, it was really necessary to wake up early in the morning. The third uncle came with two big workers, four small workers, and the third aunt.
The third aunt officially took over Wu Li's kitchen and cooked a pot of poached egg noodles with chicken claw mushroom for everyone. Chicken claw mushroom is a kind of wild mushroom that can usually be found on roadside fields during the rainy season.
When mature, the umbrella surface of Chicken Claw Mushroom will be gray-white, and the handle and pleats will be white. When the umbrella leaves mature, they will split into strips, just like chicken feet. That’s how the name comes. Chicken Claw Mushroom is a wild mushroom.
Mushrooms look a bit similar to oyster mushrooms, but oyster mushrooms are definitely inferior to chicken claw mushrooms. Chicken claw mushrooms only have one feature, that is, they are fresh, which brings out all the characteristics of wild mushrooms.
Wu Li once picked a chicken claw mushroom as big as a bowl on the roadside. On a whim, he crushed the mushroom into pieces and scattered it on the ground in the space. Now the chicken claw mushroom has become
They are particularly prosperous in growing in space, and these mushrooms can be found everywhere.
The chicken claw mushrooms in this place have a special feature, they are fresher than the wild ones outside. Wu Li was still wondering a few days ago, in addition to getting some from time to time to try and add to duck feed, whether to get a small one in the backyard
In the shed, chicken claw mushrooms are raised just like oyster mushrooms. If this works, it will definitely be more popular than oyster mushrooms.
The third aunt is a perfect peasant woman, but she has a good way of cooking. This pot of noodles showed off her cooking skills. It was enough for two bowls of noodles per person, plus three poached eggs. Everyone kept saying that they couldn't get enough.
If Third Auntie makes another pot, she will have another bowl or two.
Wu Li already felt that his belly was full, but he thought of the freshness of the noodles, the tender and elastic texture of the poached egg whites, and the liquid fragrance of egg yolk blooming in his mouth after biting into it, mixed with the fragrance of spring onions, this delicious taste
, it is really addictive and has endless aftertaste. Wu Li felt that although he was full, he still wanted to eat another bowl to satisfy himself.
"You're such an adult, don't think it's embarrassing. When you're full, you can take your guys with you and go to work." The third uncle scolded his men with a straight face, but when he turned to the third aunt, he looked completely different, "In the room
Yes, your craftsmanship is pretty good. I’ll be cooking noodles tomorrow morning, but I haven’t had enough of them today.”
The third aunt gave the third uncle a funny shove: "You shameless person, just go and do your job. I only know how to eat, but I don't see you gaining more than two ounces of meat."
"Xiao Li, come here. Auntie wants to tell you something." After driving away the thin third uncle, the third aunt stopped Wu Li.
"Xiao Li, it's time to start cooking today. Are the dishes for lunch and dinner ready? I'm asking about the meat dishes. I can just go to your garden to pick fresh vegetables."
"Third aunt, everything is ready. There are chickens and ducks that have been killed in the refrigerator. There are also pork, ribs, and beef that were cut yesterday. I know that the mutton that my aunt cooks is excellent, so I bought half a lamb. There is a water tank in the yard.
I raise fish and live shrimps. Auntie can mix them as she sees fit." Those pigs, sheep and beef were brought back by Wu Shan. Wu Li didn't think so carefully. My sister-in-law was afraid that she would be too busy with things today, so she slaughtered them yesterday.
There are a few chickens and ducks in the refrigerator. Although the chilled ones are not fresh, this is not the market today. I have to go to the market to watch the delivery guys. I am afraid that there will be too many things today and I will not be able to leave. The third aunt is alone.
People are too busy.
"Xiao Li, there is no need to kill the chickens and ducks first in the future, Auntie will arrange it. We will kill whatever we discussed the night before. This way we can create a better flavor." The third aunt was not afraid of trouble.
"Also, what standard will Xiaoli prepare to cook? Usually two large meat dishes, one small meat dish, and a few vegetables are added to make eight large bowls. Usually the host generously orders three large meat dishes and one small meat dish, and there are four.
Big meat, but this kind of restaurant is relatively rare. A big bowl costs dozens of yuan, and these old men will guarantee that you won’t even have any leftover soup. Those who work hard like it like oily and watery food.”
"Third Aunt, I think it's just four big meats, one small meat and five vegetables. Anyway, in the front and back yard, except for dogs and a few geese, you can catch and kill them if you like them. The same goes for vegetables, just pick them, what's missing?
Tell me, it will only take half an hour for me to get to the countryside on my motorcycle." Wu Li beat his chest loudly and pledged his support to the kitchen boss.
"This stupid boy has no recipe at all. The rules can be changed, that is, no more than four meat and four vegetarian dishes are allowed in the eight dishes. Otherwise, other people will hire craftsmen in the future. These guys casually mentioned, what happened at Xiaoli's house, and others failed?
To save face, I shouldn’t call you a silly boy behind my back. However, if you are serious, my aunt will arrange it for you. I guarantee that these big men who eat will praise Xiaoli for being generous and kind, and that he is a good owner." The third aunt scolded her.
I made a dish of Wu Li, and then I remembered something. "One more thing, when cutting the pork belly, these rough guys like to eat the braised pork cooked by my aunt. There is nothing else. Just come back on time for lunch at noon.
, I will leave the house to my aunt." After explaining the matter clearly, the third aunt started to complain. This was the first meal without any help, but it was really busy.
Wu Li got on his motorcycle and rushed to the reservoir. There was a two-mile road from home to the reservoir. It took about ten minutes to walk to the bottom of the dam, but it was a blink of an eye when riding a bike.
It's really worth it to find the third aunt to be a chef. She only charges one hundred and fifty yuan a day, not only does the cooking, but also has a housekeeper. The most important thing is that the food she makes is delicious. Today's noodles, there are several big ones.
Dare you say that the chef is better than the third aunt?
Wu Li parked the car under the dam and ran up the concrete steps to the dam. From now on, it would be his family's private property, and he was still a little nervous.
Wu Li's physical fitness is much stronger now than before. He can run up more than 100 big steps in one breath and still only slightly out of breath.
When we got to the top of the dam, we saw Uncle San and two big workers pointing and discussing things not far away. The four small workers should have been sent to work by Uncle San. No one was seen on the dam.
The third uncle was very sharp-eyed. When he saw Wu Li coming, he immediately waved him over.
Wu Li trotted to the third uncle's side and gave the three uncles a round of cigarettes. Although he had to give two packs of cigarettes worth more than five yuan a day to the craftsmen, basic etiquette was still required.
Wu Li drew Jin Sheng for himself, and the ones he gave to the craftsmen were also from Jin Sheng. The wholesale price was 105 yuan a piece, which was good enough for entertaining the craftsmen. His third aunt also complained that he had a bad head.
, I thought it would be difficult for other people to hire craftsmen to buy cigarettes that are worse than Jinsheng.
Being a craftsman in the countryside is pretty good.
There are three meals a day, two refreshments in the morning and afternoon, two packs of cigarettes, and one drink in the evening. For small-time workers, it costs 150 yuan a day for big workers and 80 yuan a day for small workers. Even if they are contract workers, the calculation is about the same.
But there is one thing that is not so good. The salary can only be paid when the salary is low. Some employers are indeed in difficulty, and it is common for them to wait for two or three years. Wu Li has a friend who often says one thing.
My father is also a craftsman, and he owns a house. Since 1982, he has not paid back the 200 yuan wages for the house. It has been twenty years.
