This is related to his profession. He gets off work at ten o'clock every day. When he gets home, Lin Yan and his son go to bed early. After he finishes washing at eleven o'clock, he falls asleep for the rest of the night. When he wakes up in the morning, Lin Yan and his son have already left, and the three of them sometimes talk to each other.
Can't even tell.
There is no way, the catering industry is like this, the industry is special, and there is very little time to spend with the family. Especially on holidays, Lin Yan and her son have a rest, and Lao Tan is the busiest, and the family of three cannot be together. Lao Tan asked Lin Yan to take his son to the dumpling restaurant.
Lin Yan is so unique that she never goes there.
Lao Tan can only take a break from Monday to Thursday when he is not busy. The rest day is the happiest day. He cleans the house, buys groceries, picks up the children, and then makes a sumptuous dinner, and the family of three sits together to eat happily.
After dinner, I played with my son for a while, then went downstairs while my son watched cartoons, walked around in the small park, watched yangko performers and square dancers, chatted with acquaintances, and then went upstairs to give my son a bath.
sleep.
My son is already six years old and will start attending primary school in August. The school has been selected and it is the key Taishan Primary School in the district. Following Lao Tan’s five-year-old primary school education near home, Lin Yan disagreed and said that she could not let her son lose at the starting line no matter what.
, you must go to a key primary school. Lao Tan is not afraid of spending money, but Taishan Primary School is four kilometers away from home, which is a bit far, and it is inconvenient to go to and from school.
My son didn't care and said he took the school bus.
My son is very independent. He has been going to the English class by himself since last year and has never asked Lao Tan and Lin Yan to pick him up or drop him off. The English class is one kilometer away from home, so the little guy strolls there with his schoolbag on his back. Other people’s children are parents.
Accompany.
Lao Tan asked his son if he was afraid, and his son proudly said that he was not afraid because he was a man.
Haha, little man.
Brother Li, Brother Liu, Wang Ming, and Xiaofeng always go to the dumpling restaurant to eat. Firstly, the food is delicious and it is famous in Santaizi. Secondly, they are willing to drink with Lao Tan. Knowing that he can't come out, they go over to drink with him.
Today, four people came again. As soon as they entered the door, Xiaofeng shouted: "Old Tan, Old Tan, come out to pick me up!"
The waiter was already familiar with them and greeted them warmly. Lao Tan came out of the kitchen with a smile.
Brother Liu was carrying a barrel of loose white wine and said to Lao Tan: "Brother, a friend of mine bought it from a small winery in the countryside. It's pure braised wine. It tastes good. You can try it later."
Xiaofeng patted Lao Tan and said, "Brother Liu just misses you. We won't give you a drink if we want. It's just partiality." After saying this, she laughed.
Wang Ming said: "It's still the same as the fourth child. I also drink white wine today."
While they were talking, the group entered the private room on the second floor. After a while, four dishes were served, namely: Ah Qiao's little stupid chicken, iron pot fish head, stir-fried yellow beef, and stir-fried dry tofu. The waiter brought two more side dishes,
Zesty radish and homemade pickles.
Ah Qiao’s Little Stupid Chicken and Iron Pot Fish Head are must-haves. Many people come here specifically to eat these two dishes. Of course, there are some chefs from restaurants who come to taste their specialties, and some of them can’t come at one time.
Two or three times, but it is difficult to make the taste of Ah Qiao.
The thing about food is that although it is easy to copy, it is only a copy of the form. If you don’t study it yourself, it is difficult to make it authentic and the essence of it. To put it bluntly, not only did you fail to learn it well, but you also created free advertising for others.
Only what you study is unique, not what others do. So what do you learn from cooking? What you learn is not the food, but the skills and methods, as well as the rigor and professionalism of others in treating the dishes.
If special dishes could be learned as they are, every restaurant would be the same.
Lao Tan took a sip of the white wine brought by Brother Liu. There was a strong roasted flavor in his mouth, a bit spicy. When he tasted the wine, it had a strong flavor. It lasted for a long time and went into the throat smoothly. It didn't feel like a burning knife, like a live wire.
But the degree is definitely not low.
"This wine is pretty good, much better than bottled wine. It weighs about 40 to 51 pounds," Lao Tan said.
Brother Liu said: "You guessed it right, he took out fifty-one pounds, and we bought thirty. There is no charge for this barrel of wine. It's for free."
Lao Tan said: "It's worth fifty. Drinking wine must be made from pure grain. If you drink it, you won't be a bad person, and you won't get drunk."
Wang Ming and Brother Li both tasted it and said it was very good.
Xiaofeng took a sip, tasted it and said, "I can't taste anything, it's just spicy."
Everyone laughed.
Seeing that Xiaofeng's face was abnormally flushed and slightly yellow, Lao Tan asked: "Sister Feng, do you have a bad liver?"
Xiaofeng was stunned and said: "It's a little bit, I don't dare to eat oil and water recently." Then she pointed to her stomach and said: "It hurts sometimes, is it the liver?"
Lao Tan said: "Well, I see your face is a little yellow, are your eyes sore?"
"A bit." Xiaofeng said.
"Go to the hospital for a checkup when you have time. I think you have something wrong with your liver. Do you feel your stomach is bloated?" Lao Tan asked.
Xiaofeng said: "Sometimes it goes up, but not often." Then she asked with a smile: "Is it because of alcoholic liver disease?"
"No, you can't bear the pain in your liver caused by alcohol. I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup and a liver function test. If you are sick, treat it early. If you are not sick, don't worry. I think it is inflammation. Otherwise, if your face is not so yellow, just take some anti-inflammatory drugs."
Yes." Lao Tan said.
The reason why Lao Tan said there was something wrong with Xiaofeng's liver was because one of his chef friends was like this at the beginning, with a yellowish complexion and flushing. Lao Tan initially advised him to drink less and go to the hospital for a check-up. The friend didn't pay much attention and didn't
I went to the hospital for a check-up, and I ate and drank as I should. A year later, I felt pain and went for a check-up. It turned out that I had liver cancer. I lived for more than a year and died young.
Hearing what Lao Tan said, Brother Liu said with concern: "Xiaofeng, you should drink less wine from now on. You can't drink some beer."
Xiaofeng said carelessly: "It's okay. If you drink to death, you will be considered a martyr. If you drink to death, you will be considered a profit."
Having said that, I was still worried. I thought I would go to the hospital for a checkup when I had time, so I changed the liquor for beer on the spot.
Less than half an hour after everyone had been drinking, Lao Feng and Li Wanshan arrived. They were familiar to everyone, so they sat down at the same table, added tableware, and ordered two more dishes. Immediately after, Lao Deng also came, so he put Yanhua and Yanzi
They also shouted up and joined in the fun.
Everyone was chatting while drinking, and there was no clear topic. They talked about whatever was happening. First they talked about some current news, then they talked about political news, and then they talked about gossip in the entertainment industry. In short, they were happy.
Everyone enjoys it, and those who feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable are criticized.
After going around and talking about drinking, Wang Mingdao said: "Who do you think studied this wine? We all know it is not a good thing, but we still can't live without it."
Li Wanshan said: "No party can be complete without wine. No matter what you do now, you have to drink. If you don't drink, you can't do anything."
Xiaofeng and Li Wanshan were old friends and they joked: "It seems like you drink a lot of rotten wine. Village officials like you should be arrested."
Everyone laughs.
Brother Liu said: "Who knows you? I like to drink. Just ask me to quit smoking. But if I can't quit drinking, I have to drink some every day. After drinking, I will feel comfortable when I sleep."
"Then you're okay. I can do it without drinking. Sometimes I don't want to, but I can't do it without smoking." Brother Li said.
"If you ask me to quit smoking, just quit. There is no benefit at all. Drink less alcohol, it will relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation, which is good for your health." Xiaofeng said.
Old Feng said slowly: "Well, I agree with what Xiaofeng said. Smoking has no benefits at all. If you can't help it, don't smoke. But you can't drink too much wine. Drink less, just two ounces a meal, which is really good for the body.
Also, don’t try to persuade someone to drink. Drink as much as you can, and don’t persuade anyone to do so. Many people get into trouble because of drinking. If someone dies because of drinking, everyone who drank with them is responsible."
Wang Ming said: "It's not a bad thing. Don't persuade me to drink. Didn't this happen to Tiexi last month? Four brothers drank together. One of them drank on the spot. He didn't survive before he got to the hospital. The three of them will be compensated 40,000 yuan each."
many."
Xiaofeng said: "This wine is expensive, more than 40,000 yuan, which is enough to drink for a lifetime."
Everyone laughed.
After laughing, Brother Liu said: "My friend who owns a winery can drink. When we went to the countryside, we were in a youth camp. I was a youth boy. He was tall and thick, and his family was in good condition. He came home every month.
, I made sure to bring wine with me when I came back from home. There wasn’t much food at that time, so I just stewed tofu and started drinking. Now I think about it, it was quite interesting at that time. I was young, didn’t care about anything, and didn’t care about anything.
He can bring at most five kilograms of wine from home, and we can drink it in two meals."
Lao Feng said: "It wasn't always like that at that time, but the wine at that time was good, pure food, and it was not bad to drink. Now the wine? Huh, it's all blended. It's good to drink, but you will suffer after drinking it, and you won't be able to fix it.
People drink to death.”
Brother Liu said with deep feeling: "No, my eyes are from drinking fake wine."
Li Wanshan said: "Today's wine is definitely good. Once you drink it, it is pure grain wine. There is nothing wrong with it. I will drink it from now on." Then he said to Old Tan, "Old Tan, let's buy some of this wine. I guarantee that our guests will love it."
Lao Tan nodded in agreement.
Brother Liu said: "My friend told me when he gave it to me that it was not blended at all. It would be better if I soaked it in something. It would not be so spicy when I drink it and it would be smooth to the mouth."
Brother Liu's words reminded Lao Tan that when he was working at Laogen Villa, he learned how to make health-preserving wine from Mr. Wang, the original medicine box of the villa. After Mr. Wang left, he made the wine.
In addition, Lao Tan is really good at brewing wine.
There is a five-guarantee household in their village, surnamed Zhang, who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. He is from Shandong and has a stubborn temper. Even the mayor dared to scold him. The old man lived alone in two mud houses built by the government at the head of the village. Because of his weird temper, there were few people
go.
When Lao Tan's father was alive, he was willing to interact with the old man. He would call the old man home for dinner during the New Year and holidays. Although life was difficult at that time, no one picked on anyone. A lonely old man with no children could be called to celebrate the New Year with him.
I feel very contented during the holidays.
The children in the village are all afraid of the old man. Maybe it’s because Lao Tan has known the old man since he was a child. Not only is he not afraid, but he is also willing to get close to the old man. The old man likes drinking and has the skill of making wine passed down from his ancestors. He spends almost all the monthly subsidy money given by the Civil Affairs Bureau on him.
Made wine.
There are eight wine jars in the old man's small earthen house, which contain various kinds of wine. There are donkey whip wine, bull whip wine, ginseng wine, apricot flower wine, pear blossom wine, peach blossom wine, and the remaining two are several types.
The old man said that one can strengthen the body and the other can cure women's diseases.
Making wine requires raw materials, such as apricot blossoms, pear blossoms, and peach blossoms, which Lao Tan picked up in the spring when the fruit trees were blooming. The old man dried the flowers and soaked them with corresponding accessories. The brewed wine did have a floral aroma.
.
Later, the old man stopped doing it himself and directed Lao Tan to make wine from the side. After going back and forth, Lao Tan also learned to make wine. No one can say whether the wine made by the old man has any effect. Old Tan remembers that the mayor and secretary asked the old man for it.
Drinking, once every six months.
The old man was in good health, with a rosy face and fair hair. When he was eighty years old, the government was worried that he would not be safe living alone, so he was sent to a nursing home. After that, the old man died without any illness at eighty-five.
Brother Liu's friend's wine is indeed very good and can be sold in stores. It would be better if it could be packaged and used as store wine. Also, you can use it to make several kinds of health wine, and I guess many people drink it.
Lao Tan thought about it in his mind and not only had an idea.
