Chapter 163 Fried Lazy Cicada

After two days, Li Qingyun discovered that Chu Yang was a very good person. He didn't say anything or guarantee anything, but he secretly worked hard to complete the tasks entrusted to him.

He didn't need to tell the military secrets, and Li Qingyun didn't want to pry, but he asked him to take care of Director Liu's son Liu Chao. He said no, but when he left, he asked Liu Chao's name and said he could try to find someone.

I can't guarantee whether it will work or not.

Not long after breakfast, Director Liu brought two boxes of good wine to Li Qingyun's house to express his gratitude. Li Qingyun took a closer look, wow, what a good guy, it turned out to be Laimao who was born in 1986. He had stored famous brand wines for more than 20 years. Now,

It's hard to find, and it's expensive.

"They are all given by others. I can't finish them all if I keep them myself. I feel like I can get along well with my brother. If you have good wine, of course you have to ask me to drink it. I can't thank you enough for your troubles with your eldest nephew Liu Chao."

Now." To be able to become the chief of a grassroots police station is really extraordinary. Li Qingyun has only been around for more than one round, and he actually started to call him brother-in-law.

Li Qingyun took the wine and didn't point it out, but said with a smile: "How do you know I asked someone to do it? Are you afraid of thanking the wrong person?"

"Hey, with the energy of my comrades, how can I still not know? I promised in advance that it would come true, but they were still rejected. When I went to see them afterwards, they all said that there was no hope for this year. Let me

My son will have his tattoos removed and will wait until next year. After much deliberation, my brother has the most energy and got the matter done quietly." This was not the first time Director Liu came to Li Qingyun's house. He came to know him well and ran by himself.

He went into the room to pour tea, and also poured a cup for Li Qingyun.

Li Qingyun put the wine under the table and hurriedly grabbed the bottle of water. When it came to his own home, how could Director Liu be tired? Liu Xiangqian didn't talk about age at all today. He just said that they were all brothers. How could Director Liu be there?

, just call me Brother Liu from now on.

Yes, it is a good thing that this person took the initiative to get closer. In the future, there will be many things to do when setting up a business in Qinglong Town, and the support of the police station is indispensable.

The two talked about some miscellaneous trivial matters. Then they heard Tongtong's joyful cry from outside the door: "Uncle. Uncle, I touched a lot of interceptor monkeys last night. Their skins have peeled off and they have become so cute. They are white and soft.

They were soft. Grandma said she wanted to burn them for me to eat. I didn’t like it, so I secretly brought them all and put them in your house, okay?”

There was a heavy rain at noon yesterday, which caused many interceptor monkeys to come out early. Children in the village took basins or small buckets and went to the trees to look for cicada larvae crawling out of the caves.

Yang Yunu was here at that time and helped Tongtong find some. They were all put in small buckets. There were about a hundred of them. They had been soaked in water and it was difficult to transform them all.

Sure enough, when Tongtong came over with the small bucket, Li Qingyun took a closer look and found that half of it was still untransformed. It was all at the bottom of the bucket, motionless, and it was very likely that he was about to die.

The upper layer has shed its skin and turned into a cicada. The body surface is white and tender, and the wings have not yet been stretched out. Some wings have been stretched out, and the head and chest have turned black. Such tender cicadas have just the right taste when deep-fried.

, fresh and chewy. But children prefer to eat white cicadas that have just shed their skin.

"Uncle, you won't eat my interceptor monkeys, will you? They are very cute and I want to keep them forever." Tongtong asked worriedly, holding the small bucket.

Li Qingyun suppressed the idea of ​​throwing them all into the pot for frying, and patiently explained: "Well... the layer below is dying, and you can't eat it if you don't eat it. If you want to raise them, you have to keep them alive. Well, I

Find you a small plastic basin, and then find you a sieve. Put the living things into the basin and cover it with the sieve. They will not be able to escape, and they will be exposed to more air and live better. Look at this

The wings in the bucket are all crushed, and they can’t fly even if they are put out.”

"Ah? It turns out that my uncle is also a bad guy and wants to eat my interceptor monkeys! But... are they really delicious? Why am I drooling when I see you two adults?" Tongtong asked in confusion.

Director Liu laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Children, these things are for eating. Why are you touching them if you don't want to eat them? Play with them? If you want to play, you can also catch strong lazy cicadas from the trees. In your bucket

They have metamorphosed into half-dead bodies, what’s the use of keeping them?”

"It's just useful... it's just useful... Well... uncle, how do you make it delicious? Anyway, I don't like to eat roasted food, so my grandma cooked some for me. It's bitter and tastes bad.

"Tongtong curled his lips and said with a sad face.

"Hahahaha, it turns out that you little greedy cat has already eaten it. We don't bake it, we fry it. It's fragrant, golden all over, and absolutely delicious." Li Qingyun laughed and pinched Tongtong's cheek.

"Okay, I'll give you half first. If it's delicious, I'll give you the other half." Tongtong looked cautious, because the first fish she caught was cooked very hard by her grandmother.

She was so angry that she cried. She went to Li Qingyun to complain and asked Li Qingyun to make some fried eels for her, and then she became happy.

At present, she trusts Li Qingyun's craftsmanship, and secondly, she thinks Li Xiaochu's craftsmanship is good. However, Li Xiaochu is too busy and doesn't pay much attention to her. Only this brother-in-law is the closest to her and dotes on her more than her father.

At noon, Li Qingyun's parents were having dinner at the construction site of a house. There were only three of them in the house, two older and one younger. Li Qingyun was the chef, Tongtong cooked the pot, and Director Liu chose and washed the vegetables, showing a good image of being close to the people.

There were four dishes and one soup, plus a portion of fried monkey. The portion was so big that it would be too much for four people to eat even if they burst their bellies. However, Qi Cun and Li Yuncong stepped on the food and slipped in with smiles.

"Fuwa, whatever dish you cooked today, we all smelled it at home. Originally, your aunt cooked two dishes, but as soon as we smelled the aroma of your food, Datou and I ran away immediately. There is no comparison between dishes.

." Qicun didn't see the people in the room clearly. He was smiling and talking a little more than usual.

Li Yuncong picked up a bottle of snake-soaking wine and followed behind, muttering dissatisfied: "Dad, if others call me a nickname, why don't you call me 'Big Head'? The more you call me, the bigger my head will be. What else will happen in the future?"

Talking about daughter-in-law?"

"Hey, Uncle Qicun, you are a rare visitor. Come and sit inside. There are no outsiders. Director Liu is here to do business today, so we can have a meal and chat together. Datou, what kind of wine are you carrying? It's your wine. It's not yours.

Soak this snake, that snake, or drink a mixed five-poison wine. The fishy smell is so strong that I dare not drink it." Li Qingyun stood up and welcomed them in politely, but scolded his family.

The wine doesn't suit my taste.

Li Yuncong grinned and said: "You think I want to take it, but my dad asked me to take it. It's natural for employees to go to the boss's house to eat, so there is no need to bring any wine. Right?"

"To your sister! Ahem... I forgot that your dad is still there. Put the wine aside. I won't continue. What I drank today was the top quality Laimao brought by Director Liu. I don't drink much sauce.

People who like fragrant liquor can’t help but drink two glasses of it.”

The dishes haven't been served yet, but I drank two glasses of wine. This only shows that the wine is good.

Qicun and Datou were not seen outside with Li Qingyun. But they didn't expect that his guest would be Director Liu. I was a little nervous for a while, not knowing whether to stay and eat or sneak away secretly.

Director Liu is here to build relationships today. He doesn't know how to put on airs. He will be polite to whomever Li Qingyun is polite to. He insists on pulling Qi Cun and letting him sit in the main seat, saying that he is two years older and the most famous in town.

The most respectable thing about a master snake catcher is that he can also cure snake venom.

The people were carried in fancy sedan chairs and complimented each other a few times, and the atmosphere actually became harmonious. After a few glasses of wine, they even called each other brothers and sisters, and they were very affectionate. Li Yuncong usually doesn't drink much, and his drinking capacity is not big, but I heard that this is a storage

Lai Mao, which is more than 20 years old, is more expensive than the new Maotai on the market, so people immediately rushed to pour it into their mouths.

Tongtong watched the four men competing for drinks, while she just chewed the interceptor monkey. The golden skin was crunchy and crunchy. It was only sprinkled with a layer of fine salt, but the taste was so fragrant that she never got tired of eating it.

Sure enough, my uncle didn't lie to himself. These little things are just for eating. But, why does grandma make the same thing so unpalatable and still refuse to admit it? She complained a few words and actually wanted to beat herself up? Humph, I hate it to death.

Well, luckily I have my uncle to help me prepare delicious food.

Qicun was half drunk before he remembered the business. He curled his tongue and said, "Fu, Fuwa, I'm here to tell you something... The entrance to the mountain over there is sealed... There are many soldiers who won't let us be ordinary people."

As the common people approach, I want to go into the mountains to catch some venomous snakes and teach them how to make new wine, but I can’t get into the mountains, so where can I catch them? There are too few venomous snakes near our village, and I won’t encounter one for several days.”

When Li Qingyun saw Chu Yang leading troops on inspection, he guessed the possibility of sealing the mountain. Today, he heard what Uncle Qi Cun said and confirmed the exact news of sealing the mountain.

"Have you mentioned the reason for the mountain closure? Has the route to the Fairy Temple been blocked?" Li Qingyun asked.

"Two, two routes into the mountain were blocked, and I didn't tell them the reason." The seven-inch drunk was coming, the 53-degree Lai Mao was very strong, and no matter how good the wine was, it would make you drunk.

"The reason why I didn't tell you is probably a military secret. We ordinary people don't have to go into the mountains. Recently, Datou has been studying very hard from me. You don't have to rush to teach him his special skills." Li Qingyun said with a smile.

Li Yuncong rushed to say: "That's right, I still want to open a farm of my own. Before my ideal is realized, I will never learn your ancestral skills. Haha, if you want to pass it on, just pass it on to Brother Fuwa. I am secretly learning from him.

You can teach him the secrets of our family’s vegetable cultivation.”

"You damn kid, you really want to piss me off. Oh, if I had known I would have more sons, what's the use of the only-child bonus of a few dollars a month?" Qicun sighed helplessly and leaned on the table.

I want to sleep.

Director Liu had the same feeling after hearing this: "My family was the same way back then... I wasn't the director yet, and my management was not strict. If I hadn't been greedy for these few yuan of welfare subsidies, I would have had a house full of children. I'm not living up to expectations.

My naughty boy will join the army this year. Once he leaves, we will be left alone at home as an old couple, and we understand how lonely we are."

When Li Qingyun saw that the two of them had found a common topic and were chatting happily, he secretly put away another box of laimao and drank again and got drunk. He didn't want two drunkards to make noise in the room all afternoon.

I heard that grandpa couldn't hold on anymore and finally wanted to hide in the countryside. The target of treating ten patients must be implemented, otherwise it would delay his practice. Grandpa called yesterday and said that Li Qingyun was responsible for the trouble.

We need to help them find a new place.

There are plenty of rooms in the villa, but unfortunately it has not been renovated yet. It will take about a month for people to live in it. However, it is summer now, and the heat is very hot. The bamboo building in the fishing center was built quickly, so that they can spend the summer fishing there and cultivate their mind and character.

, should it satisfy the elderly? (To be continued...)
