"Okay, okay, I surrender!" Xu Suizhu said, holding back her laughter, "I know I unintentionally spoiled you again, and I've beaten you. To express my apology, I'll treat you to a nice place for dinner tonight!
"
"Where? I haven't eaten in any restaurant in town before!" Lin Yujuan said.
Since the renovation of the old street, she has been taking a walk every day at noon. When she sees the newly opened restaurants, she can't control her wallet.
If it is snacks such as bread and cakes, buy some for afternoon tea;
If it's a food stall or a small restaurant, ask Xu Suizhu and Xia Mingli to eat there together another day.
In short, there is no restaurant that she has not visited.
In order to be built into the most local restaurant in the whole street - "Tinfoil Huajia Fen", it even packs it up every three days and brings it back for toothpaste.
If anyone among these people is most familiar with the ancient streets, it must be her.
Xu Suizhu shook his index finger at the two of them: "No! What I am taking you to is not an ancient street."
"where is that?"
“You’ll know when you go there!”
The more they kept it secret, the more curious Lin Yujuan and Xia Mingli became.
As soon as school was over that evening, they came to Xu Suizhu's office:
"Sister-in-law, where are you going to eat? I told Fu Zhengyang how to eat if I didn't go home tonight, and he kept asking me. I said I would eat with you, but he still didn't believe me. Then I probably asked Brother Xiao...
By the way, Brother Xiao knows where we are going to eat?"
"I know! Because he was also invited."
After hearing this, Lin Yujuan and the two became even more curious. They chased Xu Suizhu and asked which store it was.
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay, I won't show off, it's just nearby."
"Then you still said you're not on the street?"
"It's not on the street, because it can't be called a store." Xu Suizhu said, "It's in Yutao Apartment. Do you remember those three students who walked all the way from Keshan to Fjord?"
"of course I remember."
Both of them are tearful. I heard that these three teenagers came here on foot. Their shoes were so worn that their toes were exposed, and their schoolbags were washed white and had loose threads. They couldn't help but be moved by their perseverance and courage, and immediately gave them to them.
Yutao made a special donation, hoping to use it for three teenagers.
The money was earmarked for the special purpose. When Xu Suizhu gave the three teenagers brand new clothes, shoes, socks and schoolbags, he told them that these were gifts from two kind-hearted teachers and hoped that they would study hard and make progress every day.
Therefore, when they received their first month's work-study salary, they had to treat Xu Suizhu and others to dinner.
"So that's it!" Lin Yujuan suddenly realized, and then asked, "How much is the salary for the work-study program? It shouldn't be very high, right? If we all go, will we eat up all their living expenses for the next month?"
Xu Suizhu was happy: "You have the same first reaction as me. But Xiao Liu told me that the vegetables these children treated were not bought, but the fish were caught, the chickens were pheasants caught in traps on the mountain, and the ducks were reeds
The wild ducks caught in the swing... Children who grew up in the mountains have survival skills that even us adults can't compare to."
"Who says it isn't!"
When she arrived at Yutao Apartment and saw that in the lounge next to the internal supermarket, a round table covered with plastic tablecloth was covered with a table full of dishes, Xu Suizhu realized that she had said it was missing.
In addition to pheasant stewed with mushrooms, braised wild duck, and crucian carp tofu soup, there are also boiled wild river shrimps, creek fish with distiller's grains, and fried rice cakes with wild vegetables.
Needless to say, pheasants and wild ducks are definitely delicious.
In recent years, Shanli Village has developed farmhouses. As more tourists go up to the mountain to play, pheasants are rarely seen. Catching them depends on the skill of placing traps and luck.
Every autumn and winter, you can see a lot of wild ducks on the reed marshes of the inland river, all of which fly from the north to spend the winter. However, wild ducks can fly, so few people can catch them.
Wild river prawns are small but extremely delicious. Even though they are so small, you must have fished them for a long time to get enough.
The same goes for stream fish, they are clever and cunning, so it is not easy to catch them if you are not patient.
Steaming river fish with distiller's grains is the way to eat it in Keshan. The aroma of wine is blended into the small and tender fish. Even the fish bones are fragrant. You can just chew them and eat them all together.
The wild vegetables were dug in nearby fields. There were few wild vegetables in winter, so several people dug together for a long time before digging a small basket.
The rice cakes were given to them by Xiao Liu. Liu's mother had nothing to do after her shift, and it was almost Chinese New Year, so she wanted to learn how the locals grind rice cakes.
After soaking the rice, I took it to a house with a stone mill. I paid some help and ground it for hundreds of kilograms. I would occasionally make a meal in a small supermarket at noon. I saw that some children sometimes ate less in order to save money, so I brought a few kilograms here.
, let them cook and eat when they are hungry.
It can be seen that every dish on the table is hard-won.
Several adults couldn't help but feel their noses sore and their eyes a little moist.
The teenagers were very happy when they saw the teachers coming: "Teacher, please sit down quickly! The food is not delicious when it is cold!"
"I can smell the aroma even before I enter the door!" Xu Suizhu said with a smile, "You guys cooked so many dishes by yourself?"
The teenagers all pointed at Cheng Jinkang: "The boss did it."
Cheng Jinkang scratched his head shyly and said, "You can do it casually, teachers, don't dislike it!"
"Is this what you call casual cooking? I think it's comparable to the dishes in restaurants outside!" Lin Yujuan said with a smile, and as soon as she sat down, she put a piece of steamed river fish with distiller's grains in her hands, "I've never eaten this, but I heard from Teacher Xu
You say it’s a special way of eating in your hometown? Let me try it...ah! It’s delicious! The aroma of the wine is very strong!”
"Do we sell distiller's grains here?" Xia Mingli also tasted a piece and said with interest, "If there is, I will try this method as well."
Cheng Yuliang said: "We have tasted the distiller's grains here, but they are not as good as those brewed in our village. I asked my classmates in the village to send this to me."
"Eh? Then you can actually transport the village's distiller's grains and sell them!" Xia Mingli's eyes lit up, "Isn't this a good idea to make a fortune?"
"If you want to get rich, build a road first, Sister Xia!" Lin Yujuan said, "What Keshan lacks right now is a smooth road leading directly to the outside world. I went there once with my sister-in-law, oh my mother, that mountain road has 18 bends.
I didn't think I would get carsick before, but that time I really...vomited all the way. The key is that after driving around the mountain road for a long time, I still couldn't reach the village. The road stopped one kilometer away from the village, so I had to walk in."
Xu Suizhu nodded: "That's true. Traffic is the biggest problem. When I went to deliver donations on behalf of Yutao, I heard that the province is planning to dig a mountain tunnel. When the tunnel is opened, the mountain road will be opened to the entrance of the village.
Just like our mountain villages here, you can make a living by opening a farmhouse or transporting mountain specialties to sell."
"How about we sisters join forces and open a farmhouse there?" Lin Yujuan suggested.
Xu Suizhu teased her: "Why are you the same as your Mr. Fu? You just have an idea when you slap your head on it."
