Chapter 64 Treating Guests
"Yes, yes, that's it, you can buy some and sell it."
"Oh, old man, I'm a small business, I can't afford to buy it." The boss said: "Besides, that thing is not produced now."
After buying a bunch of needles and thread, Zhou Zhi started to push his grandmother to the old street in Linjiang.
The market on Xin Street is lively, but it is impossible to enter the wheelchairs. There are vegetables sold along the old streets, which are still fresh. They are all picked by farmers in the suburban area.
Grandma also likes the atmosphere of the old street, and her eyes are poisonous when picking vegetables, which is much better than what Zhou Zhi bought before.
There are many aquatic products sold by the river. Jiachuan people don’t like to eat river shrimps now, even water rice seeds, nails, oxtails, flowers and loaches... These expensive aquatic products from later generations are not expensive at all now. Jiachuan is now called "little fish".
Zhou Zhi has become a little rich man now. How can he let go of this when he sees this: "Tomorrow, let's just forget about the whole river food banquet..."
"I'm afraid the oil is not enough."
"It's okay, it's more delicious to make fish with 2-metal oil! Then buy another piece of oil!"
Hanging the vegetables and fish I bought in a wheelchair, Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Grandma, with this car, it's convenient to buy vegetables!"
Grandma was also very happy today. To count it, grandma has been in the small dormitory building of the Sugar and Wine Company for ten years.
In the past ten years, I can count the number of shopping like today and slap in the face.
When he got home, he helped his grandmother get out of the wheelchair. Zhou Zhi was still putting in the chair there, so his grandmother held the wall and ran into her room with her little feet.
"Oh, grandma, don't fall!" Zhou Zhi was startled and hurried to help him: "Why are you doing so anxious..."
Grandma was impatient: "Do not help! I was so anxious downstairs just now!"
“…”
The next morning, Yang He arrived first. The kid went back and said hello, and then took the first boat in the morning to come on the excuse that school was about to start.
Feng Xueshan and Zhou Zhi lived close to each other and came early: "Elb, have you bought the vegetables? There are some people who came earlier than me!"
Feng Xueshan and Yang He had never met before. Zhou Zhi introduced to the two: "This is my high school classmate, Yang He, who basically lived in my house during the holidays. Monk, this is my junior high school classmate, Feng Xueshan. He came so early to help with cooking."
"Bah!" Feng Xueshan never was polite to Zhou Zhi, but her feet had already started to step into the kitchen: "Let me see what I bought... Oh, why are there all fish?"
"How about holding a river food banquet today?" Zhou Zhi was very proud.
"You are just a fool." Feng Xueshan said: "It's all about taking advantage of the fire. If you don't have it, it's time to do it! Apron, sleeve cover!"
After saying this, Zhou Zhi realized: "Oh yes! Fortunately, I had already boiled the oil last night!"
"You didn't roast shrimp and fish last night?"
"Ah no..."
"Then just wrap the noodles with small fish and deep-fried! The shrimp will burn in a while!"
"But there is oil residue, so you still need to fry fish?"
"The oil residue finally stir-fry the lotus white!"
“It makes sense!”
Next, Zhou Zhi and Yang He were spun around by Feng Xueshan. They took out the ginger and peppers first and cut them into a large bowl. The garlic cloves could not escape dozens of them. The cabbage was only allowed to tear the leaves, chopped the veins and marinated them for a while to make small kimchi. She started to wrap the noodles with small fish and put them in the oil pan. By the way, the carp was cut into pieces and fried, and the water and rice seeds were fried, and the oil residue was broken and dried...
Catfish made of garlic-roasted fish pieces, and yellow and spicy diced cabbage and fish soup.
There are already five major dishes, one kimchi and one stir-fry, and then a steamed egg, the sausage and bacon are all ready-made. Cut it into a platter and heat it together, and then two more.
If the two pots are operated at the same time... Huh? Zhou Zhi found that it won't take much time.
Yang He was so impressed by Zhou Zhi's romantic luck that Feng Xueshan was beautiful and diligent, and she was also a master of cooking skills. She came to help so early in the morning.
This is really a hall and a kitchen.
We can't ask for more. If we can bring such a daughter-in-law back to our family, we will dare to walk sideways in Baimi Township!
Zhou Zhi helped prepare materials.
There are a lot of ingredients needed to prepare for roasted fish, such as chopped sprouts for dry roasting, crushed oil residues, green onion noodles for braised bean curd, celery, crushed bean paste, pickled cabbage for pickled fish, bean sprouts...
Not long after, the best friends arrived, but they still arrived together. Xiong Jiao and He Yongmei began to chatter with Feng Xueshan, jump and make trouble.
He said he was helping, but in fact he did nothing.
Fang Wenyu, Yan Xiao, and He Yongmei all knew Yang He, and Yang He now relaxed.
Just now, the aura of half of the hostess in Feng Xueshan's family put a lot of pressure on him.
It was almost noon that Wei Fei and Wei Yi arrived, and Mr. Qiao was also accompanied by Mr. Qiao.
"Where did you meet?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"New highway intersection." Wei Yi said.
"New Highway Intersection?" Mr. Qiao lived in the dormitory of the Cultural and Education Bureau next to the school. He went downhill to Baihua Pavilion. It was not a good way...
"I went to Xinhua Bookstore today." Mr. Qiao replied seriously: "School is about to start, go and see if there is any new information."
"Elder, come here and fire!" Feng Xueshan had already put the sauerkraut soup on her side, and it was almost time to get a fish.
"Then you guys talk, sister, you can do whatever you want, don't be polite to them." Zhou Zhi said hello and hurried to the kitchen.
When two people operate at the same time, the first thing they have to do is fish soup. The soup is too cold and the soup is too cold. Zhou Zhi makes the braised carp pieces there because it is also because it is juicy.
When stir-frying, throw all the garlic in and fry it, then take out half of it and give it to Feng Xueshan for a while.
After cooking the pickled fish soup, Feng Xueshan started making garlic-burned catfish. After half of the time, the braised fish pieces were ready to be cooked, and then started making dried boiled rice seeds.
When the garlic-burned catfish was out of the pot, the two changed the pot. Feng Xueshan was responsible for the final seasoning of the dried-burned fish, and Zhou Zhi started to stir-fry the cabbage with oil residue.
After frying the cabbage, add steamed eggs to the pan and steam them. After half of the steamed sausages and bacon are served first. Feng Xueshan cooks them out of the pot and adds boiled water from the thermos to the pot and puts them in the pot with the Baizhu River shrimp. Finally, he arrives at the table with the steamed eggs.
The two swords are combined and they are invincible.
There was already food there, and Yan Xiao saw the two of them coming in with the last two dishes: "Panda, Xianhui has been compared..."
Xiong Jiao gave Yan Xiao a chopstick: "Why compare me to me! Isn't your Yongmei the same?"
"Oh..." Yan Xiao was very thick-skinned: "Yongmei and I are a family, what about you?"
"Yan Xiao, stop making trouble!" Zhou Zhi touched a wine base from under the TV cabinet, but it was the Laojiao special song left over from the New Year's Eve dinner: "We'll drink this today."
"What a wine!" Wei Fei said first.
My father doesn’t drink alcohol at home, and he only drinks when the guests come. He knew that Zhou Zhi was going to treat him at noon today, so they simply didn’t come back and left the space for Zhou Zhi and his classmates.
This is also the reason why everyone likes to come to Zhouzhi’s house to play.
In Jiachuan, the weather is hot and hot. In summer, many people drink cold porridge. Later, when beer became popular, they drink beer more and more directly, saving even cooking.
In addition, Jiachuan is located at the mouth of the Hongshui River, and Hongshui River has an alias called "Fine Wine River".
So the children in Jiachuan started to come into contact with alcohol very early, and almost no high school students had ever drunk alcohol.
Including girls.
Of course, it is impossible to drink it openly when you drink it, it is just a simple taste.
Pour the wine to everyone, Zhou Zhi held the wine glass: "Panda, hold the wine glass, start with you today."
"What are you doing?" Panda lifted the wine glass and opened his eyes wide: "Why do you need to start with me?"
"I used to like to joke around, but now we are all big, and we can't make jokes like that anymore." Zhou Zhi asked everyone: "Do you think so?"
Everyone nodded with a smile.
"Do you still know?" Xiong Jiao-sighed.
"Although there is so much helplessness and reluctance..." After Zhou Zhi pretended to be his girlfriend and proposed to break up, the man still had to hold on to his demeanor: "Panda, take care of each other's way forward, and I wish you happiness!"
Except for Mr. Qiao, Wei Yi, and Yang He, the rest were all laughing.
Xiong Jiao held the cup and couldn't laugh or cry.
If you don't clink with this damn guy, it's like hinting that he can continue to make that joke in the future;
But just talking about this cup is equivalent to cooperating with him to perform this "breakup scene".
Finally, he gritted his teeth and clinked Zhou Zhi: "Die elbow! You are so hateful!"
After Wei Fei explained to Wei Yi and the others, Wei Yi laughed so hard: "Eelbow! You are too immoral!"
Both of them put down their cups, and Zhou Zhicai greeted everyone: "Eating vegetables, oh, I've eaten half of them... Xueshan, thank you for your hard work today, you can eat something quickly."
He Yongmei said: "That's right, I suggest that everyone respect Xueshan first."
"Hey! I made half of the dishes today!"
"You can wait!"
"Then I will be with you, come and respect Xueshan! Continue next time!"
After getting the atmosphere up, Zhou Zhi scooped a steamed egg and sent it to his grandmother.
Grandma couldn't get to such a table. She couldn't stand the noisyness of these guys and would rather eat alone inside.
"Good grandson, don't worry about me. My good girl scoops me up and let me eat it first. It's almost finished."
"This is also made by Xue Shan. The sauce that comes with the sauce is different from the usual vinegar at home. You can try it."
"Xueshan is really capable. She can make such a big table in a while, and she has a strong heart. If she wants to let this go, the matchmaker will squeeze the door of her house!"
"That's also the Feng family's door. Grandma, please relax. The old Zhou family's door is fine!"
Grandma was very disappointed and said angrily: "Go and greet your classmates!"
It was not until Zhou Zhi came out to sit down again that everyone talked about this holiday.
This holiday was very busy and I missed a lot of things, such as everyone visiting Baisha Town together.
However, Zhou Zhi recommended it to everyone. The sugar and wine company has business locations in all townships in the county. Every year when inventory is being stocked, my mother, who was still an accountant of the sugar and wine company, had to go to the countryside, and Zhou Zhi also followed him everywhere.
Baisha Town is still a standard small town on the Yangtze River. It has wooden walls on the stone street. The best place is the grain warehouse in the district. When the bandits counterattacked the countryside, the work team retreated there to use brick and stone houses to defend and persisted until the arrival of the large army. To this day, the gun holes of the fierce battle at that time are still left on the walls of the grain warehouse.
"You have visited the bandit's nest, have you?"
"That place is really amazing. One man can pass by tens of thousands of people. There is a Shimen Village on Baizhai Mountain, which can overlook the Yangtze River. There are springs and fields inside, so you can be self-sufficient." Fang Wenyu talked endlessly when talking about this.
