If you want to save trouble, just make hot pot. As long as the soup base is ready, all the washed vegetables can be put in. As for wild boar, you can also put it in as one of the ingredients. Doing this feels a bit too lazy.
But it looked like it was almost noon, and everyone was hungry, so they didn't want to worry about that. It was a big deal and they would roast a few more rabbits for the old man.
This proposal was approved by Yang Yunu, and the two of them laughed mischievously in the kitchen, making others confused.
The base soup of the hot pot is composed of two pheasants and a piece of wild boar. In order to enhance the flavor, a live fish from space is cooked separately. Finally, the fish soup is poured into the soup to blend with the special spiritual aroma.
The vegetables in the hot pot are all ready-made. All you need to do is put them on separate plates for easy serving. At this time, Hu Dahai had already skinned five hares and was so tired that he could do nothing.
In fact, these are enough for everyone, but I was afraid that it would not be enough, so I prepared some more.
The yard of the villa is relatively large. There is a barbecue grill and smokeless charcoal. Sitting in the snow and having a barbecue is a unique experience.
Mr. Qin sat next to Li Qingyun, smelling the increasingly familiar scent of hare, while looking up at the snow, and said: "I have been to many places over the years, and I have seen heavy snow in many places, but when I look at the snow so carefully, I still feel
First time."
"If you are in a good mood, you can feel comfortable watching anything." Li Qingyun flipped the grill and asked casually, "Old man, can I have some chili?"
Mr. Qin said: "Put it in, it must be put in. Although I usually can't eat spicy food, how would roast rabbit taste without adding chili pepper? For example, the bowl of beef soup this morning was particularly good. It was so spicy that it whetted one's appetite.
, it tastes better than the lobster and abalone I eat.”
Li Qingyun felt relieved when he heard what he said. Local specialties include spicy food. Only those who can eat spicy food can live comfortably in the local area. Otherwise, he will be prepared to eat white rice and stir-fried vegetables every day.
When the hare was roasted, the hot pot was also ready. Except for the two bodyguards who were not allowed to eat at the same table, the others had already sat down and could not wait to smell the special aroma in the hot pot.
The food for the bodyguards is in separate rows, a hare, some vegetables, and rice. One bodyguard eats it while the other one is on duty. Then they rotate again. Although they are outside, they also strictly abide by some professional rules.
This is not the first time that Li Qingyun has dealt with the wealthy families in the southeast, and he knows that they have some rules. Just entertain the guests well, follow the entourage, and listen to the guests' arrangements.
"Smelling this soup, it's actually more fragrant than the beef soup in the morning. It's really strange. I thought that the beef soup I had in the morning was already the most appetizing soup." Mr. Qin gave this hot pot the highest praise, taking
He picked up the male spoon, put it in his own small bowl, scooped out a little soup, took a sip, and was instantly hooked.
The spicy aroma made the tip of my nose sweat after one bite, but my appetite was also completely whetted. I picked up a few pieces of roast rabbit and ate it with gusto. He said that Li Qingyun's barbecue skills were good and it suited his appetite.
A five-pound jar of small Wuliangshao was opened. It was originally prepared for young people, but Mr. Qin smelled the aroma of the wine and wanted to try it. After tasting it, he couldn't stop and insisted on drinking it with everyone.
In the end, Qin Mingyue wanted to call Xiangjiang's grandma and tell her that she wanted to file a complaint, so the old man reluctantly put down his wine glass.
He wanted to ask for a jar to go home and taste slowly, but when he thought about the excellent quality of this wine and the extremely expensive price, he was too embarrassed to ask. Although he brought many gifts today and could enjoy the host's hospitality with peace of mind, but
I would definitely be embarrassed to ask for the things I took away.
After eating and drinking, Li Qingyun was clearing the things on the table. He frowned when he saw the snow outside was falling heavily again. Today's weather was a bit abnormal. It snowed in previous years, but it didn't stop snowing like this year.
Sure enough, when everyone was chatting and playing mahjong in the afternoon, they received a call from Li Tiezhu, saying that many greenhouses needed to be cleared of snow. If they were not cleared, they would be crushed.
Originally, this was the work of the workers, so there was no need to trouble Li Qingyun, but the workload was too heavy. Everyone was exhausted when cleaning up the previous two days. It rained for another day today, and the workers couldn't bear it anymore.
When designing the greenhouse, the problem of snow accumulation is taken into consideration. Generally, the arc-shaped roof allows the snow to slide off automatically. However, if the snow is frozen on the plastic paper, it must be cleaned manually.
There are some long bamboo poles in the small hut where the workers rest, which makes it easier to clean the snow on the top without scratching the tarpaulin paper. Li Qingyun originally could have helped himself, but the mahjong players said they were too full to eat and sat here.
If you can't digest it, go out for some exercise and eat more at night.
Having said that, Li Qingyun took everyone to the hillside. The only way up the mountain had been cleared long ago. A large amount of snow was not allowed here to prevent slipping underfoot.
Two bodyguards supported Mr. Qin. As long as he protected this important target, everyone else would be fine. Even if he fell a few times, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The greenhouses on the terraces were a bit crooked, with layers upon layers and well-proportioned structures. At first glance, they looked quite eye-catching. However, seeing that the thick layers of snow were weighing down the sheds, I had to be cruel and remove the beautiful ones above.
The snow fell.
This is a very simple job. Li Qingyun doesn't need to teach everyone. They can use bamboo poles to swing left and right on the top of the greenhouse to sweep away the frozen snow.
Li Tiezhu was very tired. He showed Li Qingyun the blisters on his hands and said that everyone was in a similar situation. If he hadn't been too tired to do anything, he would never have caused any trouble to his boss.
Li Qingyun smiled and comforted: "Haha, thank you for your hard work. I didn't think it through well. Tomorrow you go to the town to purchase a batch of film and cover it on the greenhouse. If there is snow again, as soon as you peel off this film, the snow will disappear.
It’s all gone. But I can’t let everyone’s hard work go in vain. The workers who have participated in clearing the snow these days will receive a daily subsidy of 100 yuan per person.”
"Hey, that's not what I meant. I don't mean to ask you for bonus subsidies. You are very kind to all of us, and we are all grateful. I haven't thought about the plastic film. I will go to the town to ask right away.
Man, if the price is cheap, I will buy a batch tonight to save you from having to clear the snow several times a day." Li Tiezhu said and ran away in a hurry. Since the boss knew that he could not work today, he could only do other things.
The remaining workers helped with simple tasks. After clearing the snow, they put down the insulating straw curtains when it was getting late. As for what kind of rain it will rain at night, no one knows. It depends on God’s will.
Everyone was very tired in the evening. Even Qin Mingyue helped, saying that this was the most tiring job she had ever done in her life. She almost had blisters on her little hands and asked Li Qingyun to accompany her. If Yang Yunu hadn't been by her side,
She almost put her hands on Li Qingyun's face so that he could see clearly the achievements on her hands.
So I didn’t have dinner at home. I had already called my sister in Qingheju and asked her to reserve a private room with a good location. Business has been very good recently. Not only tourists will stay here to eat, but also the leaders of the town will come to dine and receive guests.
County leaders will also think of this first.
But this is not a good thing, because since something happened in Mayor Wu's family, her influence is not as good as before, especially in terms of clean government. Several deputy mayors have gone against the trend and committed crimes, eating and drinking, and using public funds to settle accounts.
What's even more irritating is that some people actually make idle notes and don't even settle their accounts.
Li Qinghe has complained to his brother several times, saying that Deputy Mayor Hong, in particular, ate the most and owed the most. A table cost more than 2,000 yuan, and he currently owed 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. He dared not let go of the good wine.
I went to the counter, afraid that he would single out the good wine.
Since there were a lot of things going on these days, Li Qingyun didn't have time to deal with them. When he was eating here today, he heard the sound of fistfights next door being too noisy. After asking the waiter, he found out that Deputy Mayor Hong had brought someone over for dinner again, and then he remembered this.
Something.
The sound insulation effect of the bamboo house is definitely not very good. Even if it is specially treated for sound insulation, it is not as good as a house with a concrete structure. Mr. Qin frowned because of the noise, but he has a good sense of self-cultivation and knows how to do as the locals do.
It's lively, that's the sound.
Tonight I will make some local side dishes. The main course is pickled fish. This fish is grass carp raised in a small space and specially prepared by Chef Li. The taste of it amazed everyone at the table.
Yang Yunu followed Li Qingyun and ate a lot of food in the small space. I didn't think it was strange, but it was true that it was always more delicious than ordinary food.
When I went downstairs after dinner, I saw my brother-in-law Luo Jiandong arguing with Deputy Mayor Hong, saying that he owed too much debt and had to pay back part of it, otherwise this small restaurant would not be able to survive just by paying a small amount of money. Deputy Mayor Hong shouted loudly.
He burped from wine and said impatiently: "I am treating guests for the town government. Do you understand how to receive distinguished guests? Will the government still owe you money? Don't worry, I will give you a piece of it at the end of the year!"
When the guests come down later, don’t mention money, do you understand?”
Luo Jiandong has been very hard-working these days. He does a lot of hard work in the store to win his wife's favor and understanding. The task of collecting debts is assigned to him by Li Qinghe.
"If you don't pay back the money today, I will yell in front of your customers, Mayor Hong, you are going to stop our store from opening, will I still care so much?" In order to complete the tasks assigned by his wife, Luo Jiandong,
It was also a struggle.
"What are you talking about? What does it have to do with me if it can't be opened? It really pisses me off. I really can't keep your restaurant open. Go, go, if you ask me for money again, I'll find someone to throw it at you.
I bought your store." Deputy Mayor Hong took advantage of the drunkenness and became extremely arrogant.
Li Qingyun and a group of people happened to walk to the counter. Hearing the words, he said: "Ha, isn't this Deputy Mayor Hong? I've been really busy recently, it's all night, and I'm still working for the government? I drank a lot today, right?
Don’t you let the distinguished guests drink? I just don’t know where you are inviting the distinguished guests, and what does it have to do with the government? What’s the point of not paying back debts? If you can’t answer, I will go to the county to find your leaders tomorrow
I asked for the answer, but if the county couldn’t explain it, I went to the city.” (To be continued..)
