Chapter 68 Important day!
"Boss, what's the matter with a sky-high price of 100 yuan per catty?"
"What are the sky-high vegetables? Could it be that your ears are hallucinating when the audio roars, right?"
"Boss, you are lying again!" The fat man chased him relentlessly and said, "I clearly heard that the beautiful village chief also said that someone had come to your house to pick vegetables and deliver food."
"Look! Isn't this a hallucination? Look, the kids are starting to have imagination..." Yu Zehai spread his hands and said seriously: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Hu Zi, see if he heard something just now?"
"Huzi, did you hear it just now?" The fat man still didn't give up.
"No!" Hu Zi shook his head, then said in a muffled voice: "I just heard Village Chief He praise the boss, and then asked each household to send a representative to sign the road construction agreement!"
"No, can I really have auditory hallucinations just now?" Zhang Zhiwen grabbed his hair and asked again: "By the way, boss, what Village Chief He said just now is wrong. 900,000 yuan per year, so shouldn't the contract fee in 20 years be 18 million? Why is it another 16.2 million? This is probably because I have auditory hallucinations, right?"
"Does your head have 100,000 Why?" Yu Zehai turned around and looked at the fat man with contempt, and said angrily: "Your boss, I have been contracting for 50 years at one time. In addition, you are handsome and handsome, you are handsome and handsome, everyone loves you. Then, the leaders of the village committee unanimously decided to waive your boss, the contract fee for the first two years, isn't it okay?"
"Okay! OK! This is really good!" Zhang Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said, "So that's it! No wonder, I just said that Village Chief He is a college student village official, so he would not make such a low-level mistake. However, in this way, the people in your village treat you very well. With the buffer period of these two years, it is a god-given opportunity to develop!"
“That’s a must!”
Yu Zehai pushed open the door of his yard and said, "Hu Zi will be responsible for cooking the pot later, the fat man will be responsible for washing and picking vegetables, and I will be responsible for the chef. Let's move faster, and they may be back soon."
"good!"
"no problem!"
At Yu Zehai's order, the temporary three-person team in the kitchen was established.
After Yu Zehai entered the kitchen, he roughly glanced at the leftover food that his mother had made before, then ran to the vegetable field with a flashlight, picked some vegetables quickly, and rushed back like the wind. He handed the bamboo cage in his hand to the fat man, and said, "Take it next to the water pressing well in the yard. I have turned on the electric light for you, and clean it up as quickly as possible and get it back!"
"receive!"
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are still growing well. It seems that everything is the result of the last time I used the Pure Spirit Spring to irrigate. From this, it is not difficult for Yu Zehai to estimate that even if it is planted on a large scale in the future, there is no need to use the blended Spirit Spring water to irrigate the land every day. It is estimated that one can be done once in a week.
Yu Zehai tied apron, and after cleaning his hands, he quickly prepared seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, coriander, pepper, and pepper. There are some specialties to cook, and the same is true for seasonings. Some dishes need to be cut into shreds, such as shredded potatoes with vinegar; some slices are like potato slices in dry pots; some cut into pieces, like chicken stewed potatoes... Especially garlic, if you make a cold dish with garlic, you need to mash it into garlic paste with a stone mortar.
Opening a small jar next to the chopping board, Yu Zehai took out a piece of salt-cured wild boar meat from it and began to prepare a few meat dishes for tonight. To be honest, when he saw the salt-cured meat in his hand, Yu Zehai felt a little emotional.
no way!
The rural conditions are poor, and it is difficult for some meat to be properly preserved when there is no refrigerator at home, especially in summer. In summer, the temperature is high, and the meat can easily become odorous and rotten. Therefore, few people in rural areas usually choose to kill pigs and sheep in this season.
The preservation of meat is nothing more than drying, salting and low-temperature storage.
Without refrigerators and refrigerators, it is obviously impossible to refrigerate at low temperatures. Therefore, usually, everyone will put fresh meat in a fire or ventilated and cool place to dry and dehydrate. The growth and reproduction of various microorganisms require the most appropriate moisture content. Generally speaking, at least 40% to 50% of the moisture content is required; if there is no appropriate moisture content, microorganisms cannot grow and reproduce. Reduce the moisture content in fresh meat to less than 20% and inhibit the activity of moisture, so as to prolong the storage time.
Secondly, it is the salt marinating method.
However, some bacteria are highly salt-resistant, and marinating with salt alone obviously cannot achieve the purpose of long-term preservation. Therefore, villagers usually use drying and salt marinating in summer, that is, try to remove the moisture in the fresh meat as much as possible, and then use a lot of salt to increase the osmotic pressure of the meat, thereby ensuring the storage cycle of meat.
"Forget it, let's talk about the refrigerator after the road is opened. It's really hard to get back that thing. What's more, the villagers have never had that kind of high-tech thing for generations, so they still come here? So, even if they have to buy it, it's not bad for a few days or months." Yu Zehai shook his head and started his cooking show.
Originally, he wanted to go to the chicken pen to catch a chicken, but it was dark at night and was in a hurry, so he saved it directly. With this wild boar and the cooked food thrown in the space in his tower, he could make do with it.
Speaking of the space inside the tower, Yu Zehai has recently made a new discovery, that is, no matter what kind of cooked food and cold drinks it is, as long as it is thrown into the space inside the tower, it is like putting it into a vacuum world. As long as it is not taken out, it will never rot and become decay!
It is precisely because of this that Yu Zehai purchased a lot of cooked food and meat when he was in the city and town. However, without a refrigerator at home, he needed to think about how to take out those things.
"Boss, why are your food so Aoz?" The fat man held a cucumber in one hand and a tomato in the other, and said in a daze: "To be honest, this is the first time I have eaten such delicious vegetables! Huh? No, I followed my grandfather to Zhenwei Pavilion in the provincial capital the night before yesterday, and the dishes there were also delicious!"
"Okay, okay!" Yu Zehai waved his hand and interrupted the fat man's words, and said angrily: "You kid, be careful, don't stuff things into your mouth randomly, and then you will be in vain if you put them on the table later, then your baby will be in vain!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just the average, but my appetite is OK!"
As time goes by, dishes are prepared. The meat dishes include wild boar with big green peppers, cabbage and repot meat, and wild boar with garlic sprouts; the ingredients include leeks, eggs, garlic and spinach, and cucumbers; the cooked food includes five-spice beef, peanuts, braised chicken feet, and corn and rib soup stewed in the pot...
"Okay, okay, this is great!" The fat man next to him drooled and said, "It's so rich and fragrant... Damn! Why do I drool just by smelling this smell?"
"Huzi, fat man, go and wash your hands and faces, we're going to do it! Don't wait for them!" Yu Zehai waved his hand and asked the two of them to go out, and poured a small bowl of spiritual spring for the crabs that were humming around his feet. Then he took a basin and a rag to clean up the table.
no way!
The little guy just grew two small front teeth, but he still couldn't bite the thing for the time being. He could only drink spring water, drink some porridge and vegetable soup every day.
"Wow, what does this taste like? It smells so good!"
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate, and at the same time, there was He Bingbing's unique girl voice.
"Not bad! You are here at the right time!" Yu Zehai walked out and took the projector in He Bingbing's arms first, and said with a smile: "Apart from the projector and laptop, everything else should be placed in the yard first. Village Chief He Da, Brother Ming and Uncle Tang, and his parents, hurry up and wash your hands and prepare for dinner! Fatty Hu Zi, you two will go to serve the food after washing your hands. I have already tidied up the table in the main hall!"
"receive!"
The two of them said in unison.
"Yu Zehai, but my aunt has already cooked the meal at home." He Bingbing hesitated and said.
"Auntie, just cook the meal and let her eat it first at home. You and Uncle Tang are here." Yu Zehai said without any doubt: "Besides, what's the difference between eating ready-made rice at my house and going back to eat it? Uncle Tang, are you right?"
"Okay! Little He girl and Mingwa, let's have a meal at Haiwa's house tonight." Speaking of this, Tang Mingde turned his head to Yu Zhenchuan and Wang Shufen and said, "Then I'll trouble Zhenchuan and Shufen tonight."
"That's right!" Yu Zhenchuan nodded and said with a smile: "We are all from the village. When we encounter mealtimes, how can we get up and leave? Since Yaowa has been cured, let's wash our hands and have a meal quickly. By the way, I'll go and make the roasted wine at the same time. We'll have a few cups of good food tonight!"
"Drink some drink!" Tang Mingde nodded and said with a smile: "For our Yujiaao Village, tonight is an important day. I guess many people will be drunk tomorrow morning..."
"Yes!" Yu Zeming next to him interrupted, "Even my grandfather was just calling some old people to go to the house for a few drinks."
When Yu Zehai heard this, he quickly said in surprise: "What? Grandpa Third has nothing to drink, but he is old after all, this..."
"Don't worry, my dad is guarding at home." Yu Zeming shook his head and laughed: "Fortunately I didn't go back! Haiwazi, you don't know. Every time my grandfather wants to drink, my dad will stare at the side, and every time the two of them have to argue a few times. It's not that the family is stingy and stingy, afraid of how much alcohol the elderly drink. The main reason is that this person is too old and is afraid of something happening when drinking."
"It's right to do this!" He Bingbing next to him also nodded repeatedly and said, "Third Grandpa is too old. In addition, before the road at the entrance of our village was opened, the medical conditions in the village were not guaranteed, so it's better to be careful in normal times, just in case!"
