Chapter 396: Visiting the village

"I'll talk about Wenyi, your old man, don't talk nonsense, let's come from the provincial capital with a gaze. I see that this mountain village is no different from other rural areas. I don't have to look at it and I know that it's dirty inside, with cow and sheep manure piled up on the roadside, and if you don't pay attention, you'll step on your feet..." A fat-headed middle-aged man started to complain as soon as he got off the car.

"I said I didn't want you to follow me, but you insisted on coming, who would you blame? I didn't have much hope this time. It was just that the old man urged me so I came here." The car door on the other side opened, and a man wearing glasses came out. His name was Ge Wenyi, who runs a fishery restaurant in the provincial capital. At first, he complained that the man was named Fatty Cao, who was his friend.

In recent years, hotels and hotels are blooming everywhere, and business is getting worse and worse. Ge Wenyi is considering transformation recently, but he can't find a way. The old man heard from somewhere that the fish in Liujiagou is of good quality, especially the eels, which are very delicious, so he kept urging him to come and inspect.

After being talked about for too many times, Ge Wenyi had to bring a few people to take a look.

However, he didn't say much hope, he just wanted to travel to the countryside and go back after dinner.

After a few people drove into the village, they realized that the environment in the village was not as they had previously guessed. The roads were all covered with sand and soil, which was quite flat. The houses in the village were not the large tile houses they imagined. They all looked quite grand, and what made them curious was that there were garbage bins on the roadside every distance.

Seeing the signboard of the farmhouse, Fatty Cao immediately stopped the car.

Ermazi saw a guest over there, and he also greeted him with a smile.

It is said that the food in the farmhouse here is good, and they also have the intention to taste it. As soon as they sat down in the private room, they started to order some home-cooked dishes.

After the dishes were served, several people became picky again.

If you say that this dish is not as good as the one in its own restaurant, the only thing that is the freshness. They were hungry for a long time, and now they taste good.

The farm food is like this, and it tastes more delicious than the vegetables in the greenhouse, and they don’t find it strange.

When the fried eel was brought up, all the people widened their eyes.

In this weather, no one wants to eat greasy food. Order fried eels just to see where they are.

Looking at the thick and fat eel on the plate, everyone was sure that it was fed with feed. I don’t know who the old man said, how could it be delicious?

"Come on, Lao Cao, you are a gourmet. First try how the eels are. We are tired of eating them." Ge Wenyi pushed the plate to Fatty Cao and looked at him with anticipation. Judging from the appearance alone, he really didn't see how strange this fried eel is. At most, it's a little bigger, probably fattening.

Fatty Cao didn't have that many taboos, so he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a large piece of it in a bowl.

He nibbled in the mouth, the skin was crispy and fragrant, and the meat was smooth and refreshing... After chewing it, he couldn't help but be surprised, is this eel meat? Why does it taste like this?

People often say that the big mouth eats the world, and from Fatty Cao's body shape, it can be seen that he is a foodie. He travels around the world and has eaten all kinds of rare dishes in Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Huai and Yang, but this simple farm dish allows him to taste a different taste.

I chewed it with another piece of eel meat... Well, it's good... Another piece...

Several people were staring at it, and it seemed that this guy was eating very delicious. Ge Wenyi couldn't help but ask, "Old Cao, how does it taste?"

"Um...um..." Fatty Cao nodded while eating Haisai, and didn't bother to talk.

The remaining few people began to try to put chopsticks, the bones were crispy and the eel meat melted as soon as they were chewed.

"It's delicious, it's definitely not fed from the feed."

"Yes, it should be wild eels."

"Didn't they just say that they are domestically raised?"

Several people commented while eating. After a moment of silence, Fatty Cao had already pulled most of the plate into his bowl. There was only one piece left in the plate, but Ge Wenyi was caught.

"Wenyi, didn't you say you were tired of eating meat?" Fatty Cao joked.

"Haha, this is different. Why don't we order another meat dish?" Ge Wenyi lost his initial reserve and felt a little expectant in his heart.

"Boss, give us your crock pot stewed chicken..." Fatty Cao shouted at the menu on the wall.

"Okay, do you want the first or the second?" Ermazi asked in response.

"Is there any difference between these two?" Fatty Cao just found that there were two stewed chicken in the price list, one of which was more than ten yuan higher.

"Haha, of course there is a difference. The first is the firewood chicken that we feed with grain from our own family. The second is from Liu Junhao's family, and the eel just now is also. The firewood chicken in his family is the highest quality, so it is also expensive." Ermazi explained.

It’s not okay to be unwilling to accept it. The chickens hatched with eggs, but the meat-eating chickens from Liu Junhao’s family grew up and ate them even more smooth and fragrant. People in the village say that it’s related to their frequent fish.

It's rare to come. Generally, people's firewood chickens rarely catch fish. Liu Junhao's family may be due to the environment. Those hens are better than the other. They usually patrol the ditch. When they see fish in the water, they immediately tie their wings and stretch their heads to peck at each other, which is no different from ducks.

"Oh, then you can give us an expensive one." After hearing what he said, the three of them were intrigued, wanting to see what the difference is the wood chickens fed from grain.

Bloodletting, plucking, and opening the chicken... Ermazi's series of chicken killing processes were very smooth. In less than ten minutes, the chicken pieces had been put into the pot.

First, burn it over heat to remove the bloody smell, then fry it over high heat, pick up the chicken pieces and throw them into the clay pot, and add fennel, pepper, dates, wolfberry and other ingredients. The main purpose of stewing chicken in the clay pot is to stew it and soak the ingredients into the meat.

After stewing for more than ten minutes, pour half a spoonful of sesame oil into it. The fragrance is lingering and the color is bright, making people feel appetizing.

When they were put on the table, everyone stretched their necks to look at the clay pot, with an expression of expectation on their faces.

"Come on, come on, you try it, but the same thing, I don't want to pay if it's delicious." Ermazi is quite confident in his craftsmanship. So, the ingredients are good, and it tastes delicious no matter how you make it.

The chicken soup is bright, with a thin layer of oil floating on it, and half a chicken leg in the middle, which is golden and bright. With bright red dates, wolfberry, deep red pepper pieces, white and tender green onion, and clear coriander floating next to it. The whole dish is indescribable...

Fatty Cao first picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, then raised his thumb. After biting along the chicken skin, the elastic chicken turned into a smooth and smooth taste in his mouth. The spicy flavor that was chewed later made people take a deep breath but couldn't stop.

The man named Xie Dongqiang scooped a spoon of chicken soup with a spoon and put it in a bowl to taste it carefully. He is the chef, so he naturally knows that the key to this dish is the soup. As long as the soup is good, the taste will not be wrong.

The soup tastes strong, the meat is tender and smooth, and it melts into the mouth with a slight bite, and it is smooth but not greasy, leaving a lingering fragrance on the mouth. The taste is not comparable to the frozen artificial broiler in the restaurant.

After only taking a few bites, Xie Dongqiang knew that he couldn't make it, mainly because he didn't have this material.

After a few people had eaten, they shouted loudly. The chopsticks and spoons waved towards the clay pot, completely ignoring the existence of Ermazi.

Fatty Cao was even more outrageous. He ignored his image and stretched his head and mouth against the edge of the bowl, as if an old turtle was sucking water. He slapped most of the soup in the bowl with a squirt. When he looked up, he was covered in chicken oil. After smacking his mouth, he even smacked his mouth and praised him: "It's indeed an authentic chili chicken. This chicken soup alone gives people a thumbs up."

Seeing that they were convinced, Ermazi smiled and left the private room, and said to himself: "The Hao family's croquette, with my skills, has not been said to be good after eating it."

Of course, he was very proud and was very generous. He went into the kitchen and served a few steamed buns with a sieve.

"Boss, we didn't want steamed buns?" Xie Dongqiang asked in confusion.

"This is for free for you to taste," the steamed buns are steamed in a pot lid, mixed with the natural fragrance of wheat straw and wheat aroma, and eaten with chicken soup.

The people on the table no longer cared about their image. They rolled up their sleeves and kept holding them with their chopsticks. Ge Wenyi even loosened the belt a few times.

Five people drank all the clay pot chicken soup in a short while. Fatty Cao couldn't stop hiccupping when checking out, and he was so happy that he saw Ermazi.

"I'm talking about Master, where do you mean Liu Junhao live? Take us to see." At this moment, Ge Wenyi finally made up his mind.

"What are you looking for him? Do you want him to provide eels to your hotel?" Ermazi said with a smile, "It's useless to find it..."

"Why, it's not okay to pay a high price?" Ge Wenyi asked in confusion. This kind of eel, firewood chicken can be used as a signature dish in his restaurant. He has already decided to buy a piece of skin. When he goes back, he will change the plate to imitation blue and white porcelain. If the service is better, someone will eat a serving of hundreds of dollars.

He has made plans to monopolize the eels from Liu Junhao's family later.

"Haha, do you think you have the vision, and the guests who come here to visit are all fools. They can't see the business opportunities?" Ermazi scolded.

When these people first arrived, they were so cool that they could not do it. They picked a lot of problems in the environment to service when they entered the restaurant, and they had a long time disliked them. If it weren't for the tourists, they would have scolded them, so they would naturally have to say a few words if they had the chance.

"Tell you, every now and then, someone comes to him to cooperate with him, but he has never agreed. No matter how high the price is, it is useless. If you want to eat eels, you should go to Liujiagou obediently..." Ermazi said nothing, and he didn't know how many people came to him to cooperate with Liu Junhao with money, but he refused them all.

"Why?" Everyone felt strange. If you can make more money, you won't make any money. This is not a fool.

"The main thing is the output. This person is lazy and only raises eels in the yard. The output has not increased, so the supply is in short supply."

After hearing Ermazi's words, the few people were a little unwilling to accept it and insisted on going.

"The Hao family is easy to find. Follow this route and leave the village. The first one at the east end is. His family is very conspicuous. There are groups of Qingzhuang in front of the door and a big locust tree." Seeing that a few people were not willing to break through the south wall, Ermazi also followed them. When he saw the owner, he knew that he had not lie.

What a rural house, a stream flowing on the roadside, a wooden bridge lies across the ditch, and a morning glory wrapped around the branches and leaves. It looks simple and natural, as if it is in a painting. There are groups of green villages, wild ducks, cormorants by the ditch, and in front of the door... A monkey is fiddling with a short bamboo pole at the root of the tree, and I don’t know what to look for.

It is not uncommon to see monkeys in the mountains, but from their appearance, they are obviously domestically raised.

When Wukong saw the visitor, he immediately jumped in front of him and stretched his claws to ask for food. Seeing that they had no intention of giving it to him, the guy squeaked a few times and slipped elsewhere.

As the mountain breeze blew, several people were slightly drunk, forgot their purpose for a while, and couldn't help but stand by the ditch to look at the surrounding environment.

After crossing the bridge, the two big fires made them even more shocked. Of course, the dense bird nests in the woods also made them feel that they had come to bird paradise.

"Gaga..." Suddenly, a few cormorants screamed under the bridge.

Following Qingzhuang, all the ducks screamed, especially the leading Qingzhuangs were drilling underwater.

Liu Junhao is peeling sunflower seeds for his wife now. The sunflowers in the yard are still green in leaves and there is no sign of withering. They probably will grow for a while. They shouldn't have picked the flower plate at this moment.

But his wife suddenly wanted to eat it, so Liu Junhao had to break it down half of it. The sunflower seeds were full and it tasted with a moist fragrance.

At this moment, no one disturbed the yard. He peeled and put it on the plate. After almost Zhang Qian got together, he reached out and grabbed it and ate it.

In fact, the sunflower seeds at this time are the most delicious. They are rich in moisture, crispy and tender, and they are smooth and delicious in their mouths. When they are dried in autumn, the melon seeds are already dry and have a much worse taste.

The couple sat under the neem tree like this, very satisfied and comfortable. They saw the group of people outside the courtyard, but they didn't come in. Liu Junhao just thought it was a visit to the hotpot, so he didn't come forward to say hello.

Hearing the birds outside, Zhang Qian started to move and quickly pushed her husband, "Go and see what's going on?"

Seeing Qingzhuang shouting anxiously, Liu Junhao did not dare to delay. He threw away half of the flower plate in his hand and ran out.

All kinds of water birds were flapping their wings and pecking on the shore. The Qingzhuang people in their homes took the lead. The bridge was turbid, and you could clearly see black shadows moving under the bridge.

It must be the otter poaching water birds again. Seeing this situation, Liu Junhao had already thought of the reason.

If you want to say that those Qingzhuang are the silly and bold types, although they are more than one meter tall, they are also the opponents of otters in the water. When they were catching otters, they were almost pulled into the middle of the river. At that time, there was also Red Rabbit helping.

Fearing that Qingzhuang was at a loss, Liu Junhao didn't bother to say hello to the people opposite him, and hurried over to drive them away.

After being driven away, several Qingzhuangs were not willing to accept it, but instead wandered not far away and screamed, as if they wanted to rush up at any time.

Liu Junhao shouted, Baoyu poked his head out from under the bridge, and there was a fat cormorant in his mouth. Seeing the cormorant constantly kicking, it was obvious that he was not dead yet.

"Come the cormorant over and see if there is any rescue." Zhang Qian also walked to the bridge at this time and hurriedly shouted.

In fact, there was no need for her to shout. Baoyu saw his master and immediately sent his prey to the shore. Several other otters also emerged from the hole and screamed excitedly around them.
