After leaving the fish farm, Li Qingyun only brought back a big black fish, a few golden eels, and a bucket of large river snails, which he planned to cook with his own hands and make dinner for his wife Yang Yunu.◇↓
River snails are difficult to wash. If you have enough time, you can soak them in clean water and add some salt. They will continue to absorb and spit out water and spit out all the dirt in their bodies.
If you are pressed for time, you can only wash the outside first, then put a lot of salt into clean water until they are almost vomited, then crush the shell with a pair of tongs and manually remove their intestines, leaving only clean snail meat.
This is a slow job, for his wife to enjoy. Li Qingyun still has the patience. If he were in a restaurant or entertaining guests, he would have crushed them into slag with his spiritual energy. Although it would be stained with a little dirt, it was more convenient.
Quick.
"Little friend Li, what are you going to cook tonight? With my sharp nose, I can smell the aroma from a distance." Gong Xinghe stood at the door with a jar of Shaoxing old wine in his hand.
Li Qingyun glanced at the appearance of the wine jar, and saw that it had been stored for at least ten or twenty years. But this guy really knows how to show off, I haven't fired it yet, can you smell the scent?
At first, Li Qingyun treated Gong Xinghe with respect like a senior master, but after getting in touch with him for a long time, he found that this old man was also a gangster. Let alone eating and drinking, when he asked Chu Yingtai to collect the rent, he offered a price of 180 million.
, this guy said that the Gong family was not short of money, and he showed off the attitude of a senior in the world. In the end, he actually bargained for it in person, and finally settled the deal for 100 million yuan.
Well, the rent is indeed too low, Li Qingyun also thinks so, but Chu Yingtai said that the small bamboo house here is worth the price, and if it weren't for the special status of the Gong family, he wouldn't rent it to them at a high price.
"The smell of washing river snails smells good to you too?" Because they were familiar with each other, Li Qingyun talked to him very casually.
"It smells good when cooked, and your secret monkey trap also smells good. Yesterday I had some taken, and it tastes really good. Do you still have it here today?" Gong Xinghe walked into the courtyard of the villa with a smile.
, squatting next to Li Qingyun and watching him handle the river snails.
"This jar of Shaoxing rice wine is not enough if you want to make a living. This wine has a low alcohol content and tastes just like drinking water." Li Qingyun joked shamelessly.
"Little friend Li, this jar of old wine weighs ten kilograms, and there's no one else around, so it's enough for the two of us to drink. Also, the conditions for eating at your house are getting higher and higher? I used to be able to come in and have a drink with nothing.
, Now it’s not enough to bring gifts?” Gong Xinghe asked with a smile.
"You used to be a guest. Now you are a neighbor. Your status is different, and your treatment has changed accordingly. By the way, the Longjing you asked for last time was good. If you give me a few dozen kilograms of it, I won't be able to drink it.
It's a lot, but you can give it away, it's high-end and classy. It's much better than the nameless wild tea grown on the top of my mountain." Li Qingyun opened his mouth and was clearly blackmailing. He didn't have the slightest sense of shame.
Gong Xinghe pointed at Li Qingyun and laughed and said: "You kid, I never saw that you are so evil-minded. If I had known, I wouldn't be your neighbor. Even if our Gong family has a big business, we can't withstand you sucking your bones and sucking your marrow."
.”
"One year's rent has been paid, and the rent will be cancelled. No refund will be given. It is clearly stated in the contract." Li Qingyun said with a smile without raising his head.
Gong Xinghe shook his head and said: "No, no, the more evil you are, the more I will not cancel the lease. You have too many good things here, and you probably want to scare me away. I am not that stupid if you want to have it all to yourself.
By the way, I have some dull pain from my old injury recently, and I want to ask your grandpa for help in treating it. I want to see if Divine Doctor Li is available. How about you make an appointment for me?"
"It's just a pretense to eat. This is your real purpose, right? But there aren't many patients recently. You can just go to the hospital and queue up. Why let me make an appointment for you?" Li Qingyun felt that it was enough for a portion of river snails, so he stopped.
Knead the shell and prepare to process the big black fish. This thing is best for making pickled fish.
"After all, it is an old injury of a practitioner. It takes a long time. You must say hello to Divine Doctor Li in advance and require special treatment." Gong Xinghe secretly said that Li Qingyun pretended to be confused, but he had to be patient when asking for help.
Temperament explanation.
"Okay, since you are my tenant, I will make an appointment for you. After dinner, I am about to deliver food to my grandpa's house, so I will make an appointment for you then." Li Qingyun was talking and kept using his hands.
The kitchen knife slammed the head of the big black fish. The vitality of the big black fish was so strong that it could smash its head and still twist and struggle. It is not an exaggeration to call it the immortal little strongman in the water.
As soon as it got dark, Chef Li came over to get the interception monkey. The so-called secret interception monkey was just soaked in space spring water for a while. Li Qingyun handed the small bucket of interception monkey to him and asked him to tell his sister Li Qinghe that he would come back today.
Forget about just one auction, the ones available tomorrow will be ordinary trapped monkeys.
"Got it." Chef Li understood. When he tasted the taste of the trapped monkey yesterday, he knew it was extraordinary. He had always admired Li Qingyun, and wondered how he could use so many mysterious methods to turn decay into magic.
Gong Xinghe acted like a guest, sitting on the sofa and watching TV. When Chef Li passed by with a bucket, he sniffed his nose in confusion because he felt strong spiritual energy fluctuations in the small bucket.
He was just about to catch up and check it out, but was stopped by Li Qingyun, who said: "Leave dozens of captive monkeys for cooking, and the rest will be auctioned by Qingheju. We rural people only count on selling these specialties."
The money is incomparable to that of wealthy families like you. Don’t you be dissatisfied and stick your head out to grab the half-barrel monkey?"
"You kid, stop crying about poverty! The 100 million yuan you extorted from me is not money. Living in a poor country like yours, 100 million yuan is enough for my family to eat and drink for a lifetime. Go cook, I'm starving to death."
"Gong Xinghe shouted, dumbfounded.
Yang Yunu came out of the back room, holding a pot of good tea in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong, don't give him ordinary knowledge. He has been obsessed with business recently, and everything is measured by money. Let's drink a cup of tea first to calm down the anger.
, I also went to the kitchen to help out so that the meal could be served quickly."
"Yu Nu is still sensible. He is not like someone who bullies old people like us who are hard-headed. By the way, yesterday the younger generation of the family honored me with a few boxes of mulberries from Suzhou. I will have them delivered to you later so you can have a taste.
." Gong Xinghe took the tea and drank a few sips slowly, feeling somewhat relieved. At the same time, he did not forget to hit Li Qingyun.
"Che, what kind of mulberries are they? They are just mulberries. We also have two on the farm. They taste much better than yours. My wife can eat as much as she wants. Do you need to eat your children and grandchildren?" Li Qingyun's
The voice came from the kitchen. It was full of disdain.
Gong Xinghe pointed to the kitchen, so angry that he had nothing to say, while Yang Yunu covered her mouth and snickered, insisting on tea. She could see that Mr. Gong enjoyed arguing with Li Qingyun. Maybe in the Gong family, his
His status is too high, no one dares to talk to him like this.
Li Qingyun's skills are not bad, and he quickly made several side dishes. Spicy river snails, fried eel segments, fried monkey, pickled black fish, and stewed a large portion of space crucian carp soup for his wife.
There were still a few cold vegetable dishes that were not served, so Gong Xinghe couldn't sit still. He opened the seal of the wine jar and poured it out to warm it. Shaoxing old wine tastes better if it is warmed.
The old wine that Gong Xinghe could use as a gift is definitely not bad. It emits a strong aroma as soon as you open it. This wine jar is specially made and can be heated directly on the fire.
Li Qingyun mixed a portion of cucumbers with garlic and white radish soaked in vinegar. Before the stir-fried fungus came out of the pot, the jar of Shaoxing old wine was already heated, and the aroma was even better than before. Yang Yunu had already found a large wine glass for them.
, when you pour it out, it looks like amber. The aroma of smoke curls up, which makes your appetite whet your appetite.
Li Qingyun couldn't stand still. He had a piece of celery that hadn't been fried yet, so he didn't bother to cook it. He found a pickle platter from the refrigerator and served it directly to the table.
Taking a sip of Shaoxing old wine, Li Qingyun narrowed his eyes in intoxication and praised: "I rarely drink rice wine, but I didn't expect that the aroma of Shaoxing old wine is not weaker than my Xiao Wuliangshao. Mr. Gong, come on, let's go first
Drink this cup and try my hand again."
Gong Xinghe immersed himself in eating, and in a blink of an eye, he had eaten a third of the plate of reserved monkeys. His mouth was full, and he kept shaking his head. The meaning was very clear, and he told Li Qingyun to drink it by himself, without worrying about himself.
For some reason, Gong Xinghe felt that yesterday's interception monkey was just delicious, but when he tasted it today, he felt a thrill that made his heart beat with fear. There was an urgent voice in his heart, urging him to finish the interception monkey in front of him.
His unspeakable need.
"Mr. Gong, please slow down. We are just trapping the monkeys. If you really like it, we can catch it ourselves at night." Yang Yunu persuaded Gong Xinghe and picked two of them with chopsticks to taste. They were quite delicious.
It's delicious, but is it like a starving ghost reincarnated?
Li Qingyun knew that perhaps today's trapped monkey had been soaked in space water for too long, and the residual spring water smell in it was too strong, which had attracted Gong Xinghe's attention. Fortunately, it was soaked in ordinary spring water. If it were soaked in spring water essence, this old man wouldn't be able to soak it.
Eat off all the plates.
He also joined in the fun, picked up a few, put them into his mouth to chew, and said sarcastically: "Isn't it just to trap the monkeys? Isn't that what it is? Well, it seems that you, the old man, are not living a comfortable life at home, I'm sure
You are often abused by your children and grandchildren, and every family has its own experiences that are difficult to recite. Fortunately, you rented a house here and you will never be hungry again. As long as you pay for food and fire, you can often come to my place for food.
no problem."
Yang Yunu rolled her eyes at her husband, thinking that he must have done it on purpose. She felt that Mr. Gong was a very good person, and she didn't understand why her husband often exploited him and made fun of him.
When Gong Xinghe heard Li Qingyun's joke, he was so angry that he almost choked to death. He drank half a glass of Shaoxing old wine and finally got over it. When he looked carefully, he saw that the plate of intercepted monkeys on the table was gone. The last few were the ones he drank.
At that time, they were all robbed by Li Qingyun.
"You kid, you must have done it on purpose... You knew that today's interception monkeys were special, but you didn't leave a few more for me." Gong Xinghe burped, but spit out a mouthful of turbid air that was visible to the naked eye.
He was suddenly stunned, with surprise and joy on his face. He ignored the presence of Li Qingyun and his wife, took out his mobile phone, and called his grandson: "Xiaoyu, go to Qingheju quickly and kill all the trapped monkeys in their store at all costs." Buy it, no matter what price the other party offers." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
