"Hey, the big hero is here?"
When Shu Yun came to Linji Food, he started joking when he saw Cai Sen. He didn't expect that this photographer who looked like an artist would dare to hit someone in the street.
Cai Sen smiled and waved his hand:
"If he wants to eliminate me, I will definitely not pay attention to him, but if he keeps throwing dirty water on Ziqiang Shengjian, I certainly can't spare him."
When she came upstairs, Chen Yuanyuan ordered food and drinks, picked up her phone and spoke to Lin Xu, and then chatted with Cai Sen.
In Yinzhou Scenic Area, Lin Xu felt relieved when he saw the message on his mobile phone.
However, he still emphasized in the group again not to make others angry online or offline.
No matter what the dispute is, once it starts, there is a high probability that it will end in "win the fight and go to jail, but get injured and be hospitalized".
After chatting in the group, he began to prepare the dishes for tomorrow.
Clean up the free-range roosters on the farm, break the chicken legs and stuff them into the belly, and stuff the chicken wings into the chicken's mouth from the neck.
Shape it well, pass it over with maltose water, let it dry for a while, then put it in the oil pan for frying. After frying, put it into the stew soup, stew it for two hours, and soak it until tomorrow. It will be the roast chicken commonly seen at northern banquets. Elderly people like to eat this kind of rotten and boneless roast chicken, so Lin Xu specially made some more. If he can't use it up tomorrow, he can leave it to the old lady at home.
While he was busy with this, Shen Jiayue held Dundun in her arms and came to the reservoir with her cousin Chunsheng and Shen Guofu, preparing to lower the net to catch a few fish.
There can't be no fish at the birthday banquet, otherwise you will be laughed at.
Birthday banquets here in the Central Plains usually include braised big carp, sweet and sour carp, or fragrant big carp that is fried and topped with dried chili peppers and hot oil. Anyway, carp is the main dish.
Since ancient times, carp has been a symbol of nobility. There is even a legend of carp leaping over the Dragon Gate. Even Confucius named his child Kong Li.
Shen Guofu and Zhang Chunsheng got on the boat and lowered the fishing net near the reed marsh on the west bank, and then came back in the evening to put the net away.
Shen Jiayue originally wanted to go into the water, but Dundun was attracted by the butterflies on the shore and kept chasing them, so she had to follow her.
"Xiao Xu, what if we run out of pork tomorrow?"
Cousin Chun Sheng had just pulled two pigs, one big and one small, and they were humming in the pig pen.
Shi Wenming didn't have much idea about the weight of pigs, but when he saw the big pig weighing nearly three hundred pounds, he suddenly felt that all his relatives would eat away without being able to finish it.
Lin Xu originally wanted to make it into soy sauce meat or bacon, but thinking about it, there seems to be a lot left at home, and the pork is frozen in the refrigerator, and the taste will deteriorate over time.
The fat pig that I finally bought from the village would be a waste if frozen.
He thought for a while and said:
"Let's make it into jar meat. Hanyuan Jar Meat can seal the meat for more than half a year, and the longer it is preserved, the better it tastes. It is very suitable for today's weather."
Hanyuan jar meat is a popular way of storing meat in Sichuan and Chongqing areas, and the method is primitive and simple.
First cut the pork into large pieces, marinate it with salt for a day and night, wash it, fry it with lard until the surface is golden brown, and then seal it in a jar with the lard.
There needs to be enough lard to completely submerge the meat.
In this way, the pork will gradually absorb the lard and become moist and fragrant.
When eating, dig out a piece, whether it is steamed with salted vegetables or used to stir-fry garlic sprouts, green peppers, or potatoes, the taste is super perfect.
Unlike bacon, which gets drier as it is dried, the longer Hanyuan jar meat is cooked, the stronger the aroma and moisturizing effect of the oil will become. You don’t even need to chew it when you eat it, it melts in your mouth.
When Shi Wenming heard that there was such meat, his interest was immediately piqued.
"It sounds very tempting. The remaining meat tomorrow will be made into jars of meat. Each family will share some. You can also bring some to the capital and try them all."
"Okay, just do as uncle said."
At the same time, on Longshou Peak.
Chen Yuejin, who has always prided himself on not being superstitious, was holding a handful of lit incense, raising it above his head to worship the mountain statue, and murmuring:
"I have been in the business world for half my life and do not believe in ghosts and gods, but today, I hope that the mountain god can bless my unborn grandson or granddaughter with all the best. If my wish is granted, I will definitely come and build a golden body for the mountain god!"
After half a lifetime of turmoil in the business world, Lao Chen never believed this, but since Chen Yan became pregnant, he not only quit smoking, but also actively exercised every day.
I came to watch the sunrise this morning. I saw a lot of incense ashes in the incense burner and a lot of red ropes hanging on the railings of the statue. I suddenly thought that I should pay my respects.
There are also considerations in choosing to come here.
Those temples in famous mountains and rivers have too much traffic, and people of all kinds worshiping gods are also coming in. Gods may not be able to remember so many requests.
But in small temples, because the business volume is small, the gods will be more attentive.
In addition, the influence and passenger flow of Longqi Mountain are increasing day by day. If there are gods here, they should be in the rising stage of their careers. Worshiping gods at this time should have better effects.
With this little thought in mind as a businessman, the couple returned to the top of the mountain and solemnly worshiped the mountain god.
After praying, Lao Chen took out three stacks of hundred-dollar bills from his bag and threw them into the merit box.
Just as the couple was about to leave, they saw the statue next to them, lit another incense candle, and bowed with it:
"Dundun, we are our own family, you must keep Xiaoyan safe and healthy."
Although I know that putting it here is just for incense, there has always been a tradition in China of worshiping gods when you encounter a statue of a god, so although I find it funny, based on the principle that it is not strange to be polite when there are many people, I still worship Dundun.
It's a pity that there is no merit box in front of Dundun, otherwise Lao Chen would have to stuff 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
Dundun, who was flapping butterflies by the reservoir, was stunned. He didn't expect that his great-aunt and great-aunt would worship him. He glanced at his aunt who was riding a bicycle and suddenly there was a touch of warmth in his eyes.
With this cat here, my aunt and little cousin will be safe and there will be no accidents.
But in order to prevent any emergencies, the little guy still jumped up to Chen Yan and dexterously patted her on the leg.
"Hey you little fat cat, are you provocative? Tell me, no one is protecting you right now!"
Chen Yan didn't know why, so she immediately stood up and kicked a few times, chasing Dundun along the road beside the reservoir, but not long after, she was attracted by the movement in the water.
As soon as the fishing nets were put into the water, before Shen Guofu and his cousin Chun Sheng had time to return, a fish was caught in one of the fishing nets. A three-pound carp plunged into the mesh of the net and was struggling desperately.
When Lao Shen saw it, he immediately raised the net and dragged the fish and net into the cabin with cousin Chunsheng.
Pull the fish off the net and put it into a plastic bucket in the cabin. The two of them tidy up the fishing net and put it back into the water.
Just after I finished my work, the fishing net next to me caught fish again, this time it was two fish, a carp and a grass carp.
Lao Shen’s face was full of a successful hunting smile:
"The fish here are easy to catch, right? Brother Chunsheng, hurry up, hurry up, these fish take the initiative to come here to celebrate the old lady's birthday, we can't live up to their good intentions."
Zhang Chunsheng held a cigarette in his mouth and calmly rowed the boat across, set up the net and collected the fish. The whole process was completed in one go.
Chen Yan on the shore no longer cared about chasing Dundun. She stared at the scene in the water and wished she could jump into the water to help.
There are more fish caught in the water, and more and more people are watching on the shore.
Many tourists who planned to go horseback riding, mountain climbing, and valley exploration were standing on the shore and saw Lao Shen and Zhang Chunsheng catching fish one after another, and felt the joy of fishing by themselves.
"Brother Chunsheng, is it almost done?"
"It's almost done. It's the time for fish to spawn. Just eat enough. Don't catch too much."
The two people put away the fishing net, rowed the boat to the shore, rinsed the fishing net with tap water and put it in a hut by the reservoir, so that it would not be gnawed by mice.
If you put it away directly after it comes out of the water, the fishy smell will attract mice, and the entire net will be completely bitten by mice in a short time.
There are five large carp weighing about three kilograms on the boat, three or four grass carp weighing seven or eight kilograms, as well as different fish such as big silver carp and big black fish.
Lao Shen loaded the catch onto the commuter car, and Dundun took the opportunity to get on it and followed him back to the restaurant.
"Hey, we caught a lot of fish. I'm still waiting for your Air Force to implement Plan B."
Shi Wenming even contacted the fish stall owner and said hello in advance that he might buy fish to prevent Lao Shen and Zhang Chunsheng from running out of fish.
As a result, it only took more than two hours to catch so many fish.
It’s almost as efficient as driving to go shopping.
With the catch, Lao Shen immediately straightened up:
"Wenming, what are you talking about? I have never been in the air force since the first day of fishing. This is all trivial and not worth mentioning... When I have time, I will bring the fishing rod over. The masters have not set the net, so they are
Fishing."
He was like a man possessed by an old man, talking endlessly about various fishing terms, fully demonstrating the fisherman's show off style.
After finishing playing, Lao Shen took a photo of today's catch with his mobile phone:
"The results of the two-hour battle are quite boring."
What is pretentiousness? This is it.
As soon as it was posted, Lao Suntou liked it in the circle of friends.
"Xiao Xu, how do you eat these fish?"
Lin Xu looked at it and said:
"The carp is made into braised large carp and served whole, the grass carp is made into sweet and sour fish pieces, and the silver carp is made into steamed fish heads. Half of it is enough for each table..."
The only way to eat fish is to steam, fry, braise, stew, and now that we have whole fish, other dishes are more casual.
Dundun jumped out of the car and went to its water basin to drink some pure water. Just as he was about to go out to play, he suddenly heard a humming sound coming from the pig pen and immediately remembered that a new baby had arrived in the yard.
animals.
The little guy ran over and stood on the wall of the pigsty, looking at the two pigs inside, humming and meowing several times.
"What are Dundun doing?"
Chen Yan was a little confused and thought Dundun was going to jump into the pig pen.
Shen Jiayue smiled and said:
"As for the training, every little animal that comes, whether it is a chicken, duck, fish, goose or a big fat pig, must be given a training... By the way, Yan Bao, you haven't eaten pig meat yet, have you? The pig will be killed tomorrow morning, so you can
Feel the joy of killing New Year pigs in the countryside."
Kill a pig?
Chen Yan had never experienced it before, so she became interested as soon as she heard this.
"What time is the pig slaughtering? I have to set a time to come over and take pictures... Do your cameras have electricity? If they are out of battery, charge them. I have nothing to do anyway. I will take pictures of the whole process of killing pigs and birthday banquets in the countryside. I will make a photo later.
Documentary."
As the CEO of a media company, Chen Yan has a strong sensitivity to audience preferences.
In many places, the custom of killing New Year pigs has been lost, and everyone can only enjoy it online during the Spring Festival.
Birthday banquets in rural areas are even less common. Nowadays, they basically buy a cake and have a meal with the whole family, without the grandness of birthday celebrations in the past.
Now, it's time to fill this gap.
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she thought it would be good to take a photo, so she said:
"Okay, okay, I'll shoot with you. Call me when you wake up tomorrow morning, and I'll call you when I wake up. Let's come over here together... I'll charge the camera first, so don't delay me then." In the evening, the whole family started to have dinner.
Lin Xu cleaned the chicken offal from the roast chicken in the afternoon and made a pot of stewed chicken offal.
The dry yellow sauce is boiled with rice wine, stir-fried with lard until fragrant, and then the chicken offal is put in and simmered. The sauce is rich in flavor and the chicken offal is also delicious. It can be eaten with both wine and rice.
"This dish is good and delicious."
Chen Meiliang picked up a piece of chicken intestines with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, then took another mouthful of rice. The aroma of the sauce and the elastic texture of the chicken intestines went well with the rice.
Lin Xu is not interested in chicken intestines, he prefers to eat chicken gizzards.
The chicken gizzards braised in sauce are fragrant and have the unique crispiness of chicken gizzards, which is very chewy.
After eating and taking a bite of rice, it’s a satisfying experience.
While everyone was eating, they were discussing the arrangements for the birthday banquet.
There will be about five tables of guests tomorrow, and the private room upstairs is just big enough to sit down.
The dishes for the birthday banquet have been decided, and the drinks have been purchased. Instead of ordering a cake, we will eat birthday peaches.
Make a big birthday peach, ask the old lady to cut it, and then distribute the small birthday peaches inside to each table. This way it is not wasted and relatives can have a taste.
"Xiao Xu, how many small longevity peaches are there in a big birthday peach? Is it not enough?"
Lao Shen always likes to pursue grandeur, but he is worried that the food will not be delicious enough, and based on the size of the longevity peaches made in the store last time, it is indeed a bit insufficient.
Lin Xu said:
"The longevity peaches this time are bigger. They can hold ninety-nine small birthday peaches. Twenty of them are divided into one table, which is definitely enough to eat."
Not only are there more longevity peaches, but they are also bigger. This means that the diameter of the longevity peaches we will be making tomorrow is about seventy centimeters.
Such a size is rare throughout the country.
When Mrs. Lin heard this, she immediately felt sorry for her grandson:
"If it's so big, it won't be too tiring to cook. My dear grandson, why don't you make it smaller? It's too big to eat and it's a waste."
Lin Xu said:
"It's okay, grandma. If we can't finish it, we will share it with the employees. Whoever eats it tomorrow will share your blessing. This is a good thing."
After the meal, Lin Xu returned to the kitchen and took out the roast chicken soaked in the stew soup to take a look.
The stewed soup this time has been specially lightened a lot, in order to allow the chicken to soak for a longer time, so that it tastes more mushy and more delicious.
In order not to miss the filming tomorrow morning, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan deliberately went back early to rest.
However, the next day, at four o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock woke Lin Xu up, but the good baby beside him was still sleeping soundly and did not respond to the alarm clock at all.
We agreed to call each other, but Chen Yan didn't call either, so she probably didn't wake up either.
Lin Xu tried to push the good baby twice, but she showed no sign of waking up. Instead, she turned over and swept the quilt away.
Lin Xu: "..."
I guess you can’t get up.
He put on thicker clothes, put on a thin down jacket after washing, went out quietly, and then drove an internal commuter car down the mountain from his residence to the gate of the scenic spot.
At this time, the place was brightly lit, and Lin Hongqi, Chen Meijuan, Zhang Chunsheng, Jia Xingwang, Shi Wenming, and Chen Yuejin, who came to join in the fun, were all in place.
The same trick of killing pigs before was done again.
Lin Xu parked the car at the door, came to the yard, set up all the cameras, then put on a camouflage uniform for work, and started killing pigs.
Kill the big pig first, open the small door of the pig pen, pull the pig out with an iron hook, push it down quickly, and then lift it to the pig killing platform.
Lin Xu stabbed the pig's heart with a knife. After bleeding, he used an air pump to inflate the pig. When the whole pig was swollen, he began to shave.
The whole process was clean and neat, without any sloppiness at all.
Shi Wenming said with emotion:
"I thought Xiaoxu was very efficient last time I killed pigs. I didn't expect that this time I would be even more efficient. With this efficiency, it's not a problem to kill a hundred pigs a day."
Lin Xu said while shaving the pig:
"Now I just use my momentum. If you repeat this kind of thing a few times, you will lose your strength."
After shaving, the pig's belly was cut open and the internal organs were taken out. Uncle Chunsheng immediately carried it away and packed it away. Then he removed the pig's head, trotters and other parts, then used a splitting knife to separate the whole pig, hung it up, and started
Split.
The pig is very fat, the meat is trembling, and the suet in the belly is also very thick.
Lin Xu said while busy:
"Uncle, save the meat you want to use and start making jar meat with the rest later."
The fresher the pork used for jar meat, the better. However, before cooking, the pork needs to be marinated with salt to remove excess water and make the meat firmer. It also makes the pork more flavorful.
Shi Wenming agreed:
"No problem."
There is a lot of meat, a big fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms, and some extra meat will be cut off from the little pigs later, so it will never be finished.
Not long after, Shi Wenming prepared the pork for the banquet and the meat for the employee canteen, and the rest was made into jar meat.
Lin Xu took a kitchen knife and cut all the bone-free meat into cubes with a side length of 12 to 13 centimeters. He cut the pieces and put them into a basin. According to the standard of one pound of salt per pound of meat, he sprinkled a few packs of large grains of sea salt into the basin.
.
Stir evenly so that the surface of each piece of meat is coated with salt particles.
After doing this, cover the lid, lift the basin to the corner of the kitchen, and start marinating.
You can take it out and clean it tomorrow morning, and then start making Hanyuan jar meat.
After this pig was properly handled, everyone pulled out the smaller pig and killed it.
But the pig couldn't be divided. Lin Xu hung it up directly after disemboweling it, and began to change the knife for the roasted pig. Using fresh pigs to make roasted pig, both the taste and texture are better than cold fresh meat.
While everyone was busy working, the door to the room not far away opened, and several old people and the sleepy-eyed Dundun got up.
The old man is a light sleeper and wakes up when he hears movement.
But Dundun looked like he hadn't woken up, his expression was full of anger, and he obviously felt like he was getting up.
But less than five minutes after it got angry, Chen Meijuan brought a plate of freshly steamed pork liver mixed with pig blood to it:
"Have a try. It's specially prepared for you. It's ready right after death."
The little guy lowered his head and smelled it, then stuck out his tongue and took a taste. The excitement on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep surprise.
By the time it had eaten and drank enough, it was already bright.
At this time, Shen Jiayue, who had agreed to get up at four in the morning, woke up leisurely...
