Chapter 108 Ginkgo Tree
Hu Shuo looked at the napping cow in the yard and asked at Bian Rui: "What's going on with this cow in your yard?"
Bian Rui looked back at Dainiu and found that Dainiu was lying in good condition now, chewing the grass leisurely. What was Hu Shuo saying? So he opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I think this cow seems to look down on me a little?" Hu Shuo looked at Dai Niu with his head tilted.
When Zhou Zheng and Wu Xi heard this, they almost sprayed out the wine in their mouths.
"Can you not be so funny when you are having a meal? A cow looks down on people, why don't I think he looks down on me?" Wu Xi turned his head and looked at Dai Niu's direction.
The moment Wu Xi turned his head, Dai Niu tilted the huge bull's forehead, and at the same time stopped chewing grass, and a thick breath spurted out of his nose. Then he turned his head and did not look at Dai Niu and continued to chew and draft.
"And... it's really, this silly bull is indeed...hey, look, it's looking at me again, and it's still taking my eyes off me," Wu Xi said in surprise.
Bian Rui said: "You are all looking at people while they are eating. Can the cows not despise you? Well, eating vegetables and drinking, everything you guys are busy watching!"
As he said that, Bian Rui picked up the wine bowl and raised it at his own people.
Dai Niu's temperament is a bit stupid. Except for Bian Rui's family, almost no one cares about it. If you want to say it is good, it is really only Bian Rui's little daughter. Bian Rui can only let it obey the orders, but every time he stays with the little girl, Dai Niu shows warmth.
He drank less wine and ate a lot of vegetables. Zhou Zheng, Hu Shuo and Wu Xi were simply a small chariot, and most of the meat was in the stomachs of the three people. This combat power really scared Bian Rui. If Fu Qingxu and the other three were added, Bian Rui seriously suspected that he had cooked less food.
Yan Lan didn't eat much, so she mainly invited a few vegetarian dishes. She only ate a little bit of each vegetarian dish, and she didn't touch rice or anything else.
"Why did you eat that little today?" Bian Rui asked in a low voice.
Yan Lan said: "My weight is more than three pounds, I'm going to control it."
Bian Rui looked at Yan Lan's figure and shook his head in his heart. Yan Lan's figure was already very thin in Bian Rui's eyes. She was only a few feet tall at a height of only 100 pounds. You should know that she was not 1.65 meters or 1.7 meters, but a big man of 1.7 meters. Such a small weight seemed to be a bit like what the old man said about Luchai Rod.
"Why don't you let this wine be drunk? You are so stingy," said Zhou Zheng.
Bian Rui explained: "It's not that I'm stingy, but that this wine is easy to get drunk, because you feel it smells fragrant and has a shallow degree, so you get drunk without realizing it. If you want to drink it, let's have a good drink tonight, and then fall asleep after drinking it. Our small table is placed directly in my house. How about we drink it as we want when the floor heating is turned on?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "This is almost the same. By the way, did my grandfather and the others drink this wine?"
Bian Rui understood what Zhou Zheng meant, so he nodded to show that when Mr. Zhou came to the restaurant for dinner, he had used this wine to entertain them.
"No wonder my grandfather said from time to time that your wine is good. By the way, I will make a few jars for me when I go back, and I will go back twice to honor my grandfather," said Zhou Zheng.
Bian Rui waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is really not possible. I only have half a jar here. If you want to drink it, wait for a while and wait for a new cellar to open. I will help you get two jars."
"Only two jars can be opened in a new cellar?" Zhou Zheng felt that this was too little.
Yan Lan said at this time: "Don't look at two jars, there are really a lot of them. Zhu Tongqiang stayed here all day, and then they agreed to sell three jars of cellar wine. Many of them were ordered away before they were out of the cellar."
"It's not surprising that it's so popular. I wonder why you don't brew more such good wine?" Zhou Zheng asked.
Bian Rui said: "You think you don't want to think about it, it's not that you don't want to think about it, the raw materials are not enough, so don't think about it anymore."
Bian Rui had to tell the two of them again about the reason why the wine production was not large.
Bian Rui took over the ancestor's property, so he naturally knew what kind of transformation the ancestor had made in the nearby mountains, forests, and soil. He could not have created a Bianjia village, but where was it? Looking around, it was not his own territory, serving others. To be honest, Bian Rui's awareness is really not so high. Secondly, such an environment also requires people to maintain. If such an environment is greedy and without moral standards, it will definitely cause harm.
"How many years have this ginkgo tree in your yard grown? What a great guy is so thick in the yard, like a big umbrella, almost covering the whole yard." Hu Shuo was eating and drinking, picking his teeth while looking around.
Bian Rui said: "It's been hundreds of years. Anyway, since my father was young, the two of them couldn't hold this tree together."
Wu Xi asked, "Is it still a fruit?"
"Why don't you bear? I'll give you some tastes when it bears fruit, but let's explain it first. The fruits of this tree are not very delicious, not as delicious as the apricot grandsons outside. And you have eaten ginkgo, if you haven't eaten it, you will definitely not be able to adapt at once. It smells smelly of feet, and the fruits of this tree are even more sour. If you heat them in the microwave, the whole house will be so sour..." Bian Rui said with a smile.
"That's not a waste of this big tree." Hu Shuo put down his toothpick, twisted his body, looked at the big trunk next to him, then walked over and took a few shots.
Bian Rui said: "Not that, you have to know how to make this. You have to know how to eat ginkgo fruits from this old tree. This thing is best to stew chicken, and it is not a domestic chicken but a pheasant. We have a white pheasant here. There are three or four long tails behind the tail. The tail can be sixty or seventy centimeters long. The whole body is white, but the tail is red. If you use this chicken, stew the ginkgo fruit in an old chicken, put it in a pot and simmer it on low heat for a few hours. It will be a delicious food. It is okay to use free-range chicken without white pheasants. It must be a local chicken. The foreign chicken tastes wrong and you can't even get it. There is a chicken smell, only native chicken. It is best to put the local chicken in a crock pot and add only ginkgo fruits. It is simmering for ten hours on low heat. Although it is not as good as white pheasants, it is okay."
Wu Xi said: "It's illegal, can pheasants still be eaten now?"
"Of course not, but you just hide and eat. Now the forests have been protected. I haven't been able to make a fuck for many years. Many things are actually rotten and there is no control of big things. Maybe it will become an ecological chain crisis in the future," said Bian Rui.
Now, no one is allowed to fight in the forest. When everyone goes in, they pick mushrooms and pick wild animals. As long as they run away, they don’t let them move. If they get into the old forest, they can see pheasants from time to time. There are no medium and large carnivores in the old forest, so the forest has gradually become a paradise for herbivores. Without natural enemies, they have given birth to children. The number has long been restored. Now there are a lot of wild boars, and they go down the mountain to harm the crops from time to time, but they have never been to Bianjia Village.
"What else is delicious in your forest?"
Bian Rui thought for a while and said, "After more than a month, the snails in the Laolinzi River can be eaten. In summer, the frogs are the best time. In autumn, it is the best time. After the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, the crabs in the stream can be eaten. It starts with female crabs. At the end of November and early December, it is the best time. The female crabs are fat and the male crabs are full of oysters, which is delicious."
"Purple-shell crab?" Yan Lan asked.
Bian Rui nodded. Purple-shell crab is called in the village, usually called the pond crab. The shell has a green and purple. When it is the most plump, the blue-purple color in the shell will reach its peak. At this time, the villagers will catch the crabs. Of course, it is no different from the usual crabs.
Yan Lan said: "I have heard from people that this thing must be tried this year."
Bian Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get you a few and try them, and I'll get you some!"
After saying that, Bian Rui stood up and started to close the table. While holding it, he said to Zhou Zheng and the others: "You go and have a rest. After the rest, I will make a rod for you to fish. Don't you want to eat small fish pot stickers at night? We will cook as much as we catch it. If we don't have enough wine, we can only eat kohlrabi."
Yan Lan and Wu Xi naturally stood up and prepared to help. Yan Lan could do some work. As for Wu Xi, Bian Rui didn't dare to let her do work. There were not many small bowls in her house, and she broke a few of them. Bian Rui had to buy them.
"You don't have to do this pose, go and rest. Remember not to be greedy for coldness, cover your stomach and then sleep to avoid catching a cold," said Bian Rui.
Wu Xi didn't care, so he clapped his hands on Hu Shuo's shoulders. The two of them were talking and laughing. Zhou Zheng sat directly on the recliner in the yard. After a while, his head tilted and fell asleep, and soon he started to snore.
"It's really unexpected that you can become good friends with them!" Yan Lan said with a smile.
Bian Rui said: "There are opportunities between people. Hu Shuo was in college. When I was in college, I had a conflict with people from the Adult Education College. Seven or eight people came to block me. Except for him carrying a bench and standing next to me in the two dormitories, everyone else was too timid and shrank in the room without moving. As for Zhou Zheng, even though he looked like this, he was actually a person who was quite willing to help others. As long as he knew him, he felt that you were still in harmony, and when you encountered difficulties, he would reach out to help."
Yan Lan heard this and said, "It's true, I think you are a little cold-hearted, and I don't know how you pursue girls like this."
Bian Rui thought for a while and laughed: "You didn't expect that I was not chasing girls before, but girls were chasing me, and there was more than one."
Yan Lan said: "Oh, you're still panting!"
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Bian Rui didn't say much.
