Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 1224
[Chapter 869]
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to their ‘home’, they deliberately went to the courtyard where their younger siblings were.
The electric light was still on, but I couldn’t hear the sound of the diesel generator, because the generator was placed deep underground, and some of the wires that were pulled out were given to the prefectural government office, some to the medical center, and the rest was my own. Home lighting.
The two walked into the yard, waved to the person who wanted to say hello, and went straight to the window, where nine little guys were discussing issues, to be precise, to correct the mistakes Xiaobei made during the day, and try their best to make up for it.
After listening for a while, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood. During the day, Xiaobei discussed with others that Li Xiaogang had hired them. They all belonged to the same industry, animal husbandry, and wanted to go to the newly occupied land to build pastures.
Xiaobei painted cakes for a group of adults according to his brother and sister’s vision, saying that the safety is guaranteed, the alfalfa grass is easy to grow, the yield is high, and other crops can be grown without charging any rent and tax, whether it is grain, alfalfa grass, or other crops. If there are livestock raised, the state will buy them at a high price and send ships directly there.
At the same time, it will also go to the country with the ship and sell it to the rancher at a preferential price.
What Xiaobei said was true, but when she mentioned herding dogs, she promised to sell them to other ranchers. At that time, she talked eloquently, and all the livestock businessmen listened attentively, and then they were all excited.
Xiaoyuan and other eight people were indifferent. When Xiaobei raised their hands to vote, the eight people raised their hands together and passed.
I passed it in front of others, and when I got home, eight people started talking around Xiaobei. The reason was that Xiaobei sold the dog. The dog’s breeding cycle was short, and everyone was bred in the end. Isn’t the cooperation between myself and others with Song Dakang loss?
Xiaobei didn’t say something like ‘you all agreed just now, but now you regret it’. She knew that when they were outside, the nine people were absolutely in the same pace.
Now the nine children are discussing.
How to make up for the loss.
“We didn’t sign a contract with them before, right? Could it be…” Xiaofang reminded.
“No.” Xiaogang shook his head: “We are different from others. What we say is more credible than the contract. If you promise, you will have no regrets.”
Xiaobei sighed leisurely: “It’s all my fault, I’m excited. Open your mouth. I’ll
sell the dog.”
“I don’t blame you. We don’t regret it. Since we chose you to go out to the outside world, we will fully support you no matter what you do. If it really doesn’t work… raise the price.” Xiaoqiang didn’t intend to hold anyone responsible.
“The price is basically that amount of money. It
‘s not easy to raise too much, so I have to find a way.” Xiaoyuan followed his brother’s example and tapped his face with his fingers, as if he could become smarter.
“It’s really impossible to ask my brother. My brother will definitely have a good solution, right? We are all younger brothers and sisters anyway, so there is no shame.” Xiaobei wanted to try to make up for what he did wrong.
Xiaohai supported: “It’s not shameful not to be ashamed, but we always have to think hard about ourselves first, and always ask our brothers and sisters, we will become dependent in the future. Brothers and sisters don’t want to see a group of brothers and sisters who have no opinion and are just obedient.
” Think, think about it first. I can’t think of it. I’ll ask tomorrow morning.” Xiaobei said loudly.
Zhang Xiaobao, who was listening to the window outside, pulled Wang Juan, and the two turned around and left carefully.
“Where to go?” Wang Juan asked, seeing that Zhang Xiaobao was not walking in the direction of a resting place.
“Kitchen, I’ll make them a late-night snack.” Zhang Xiaobao replied, and quickened his pace.
When the two got to the kitchen.
There are still people in the kitchen who are busy cooking. Affected by the schedule of work and rest in the inner courtyard of the home, the kitchen never stops for twelve hours.
“Little son, are you hungry?” the person in charge of the kitchen greeted.
“Where do you put the leftovers at night? Give me… take… the amount that five people eat under normal circumstances. The whole pot is served, don’t pick and choose.” Zhang Xiaobao didn’t explain.
Ask directly.
The steward asked someone to pick up the leftovers and wait by the side.
Don’t lean, the person who took the rice came back with a ‘pot’, which is actually the bottom of the big pot after cooking, grab it out along the edge of the pot, and it becomes a ‘pot’. Rice can also be used to cook porridge, and the rice cooker below is specially used for stir-frying or fumigation.
Zhang Xiaobao took it over, looked back and forth, was very satisfied, nodded to the person in charge, and took Wang Juan to his small kitchen.
Wang Juan sniffed, the smell was very good, better than straight rice, with a faint paste smell in it, and asked, “I want to make smoked chicken.”
“No, I haven’t cooked chicken yet, so why smoke it ?
Make rice noodles.” Zhang Xiaobao put the ‘pot’ on the cutting board, and mentioned a small knife with a serration on the back, which is very similar to a western knife.
“It’s already a rice cooker, so let someone scrape out the rest of the rice inside, and eat the rest directly.” Wang Juan picked up a spoon and planned to scrape it with a spoon.
Zhang Xiaobao put down his hand, began to cut the knife, divided the ‘pot’ into small pieces of one inch square, and the outermost circle was curved, then stood up the piece, cut it with the knife in the direction of the piece, and cut it down with one knife , the outermost layer of rice is cut out, and the middle position of the second knife is separated from the last blackish paste bottom.
Every small piece was prepared in this way. After a while, Zhang Xiaobao finished processing the raw materials and said to Wang Juan: “Find a pancake shovel and spread the pot rice.”
Wang Juan knew where the things were, so he walked over to carry them over and brushed them with water. Put it on the stove: “Are you sure it’s a stand instead of a dry stir-fry.”
“Is there a difference?” Zhang Xiaobao smiled: “It’s more convenient for me to use an iron plate for dry stir-fry, I have to do a little job of baking and fire it, and you help me watch the pot. , I’ll prepare the other two pots.”
Zhang Xiaobao lit the fire, threw the darkest part of the pot into it, spread out the shovel, and asked Wang Juan to help.
Zhang Xiaobao found another large spoon, washed it, put it on another stove, ignited the same, put a little meat oil, watched the oil melted and began to spread to the side as the temperature increased, so he shook the big spoon to let the oil as much as possible Cover every part of the pan with only a thin layer.
When the oil smokes, pour out a little more oil at the bottom of the pot, reduce the fire, and continue to bake with a large spoon on it. When the oil is not visible to the naked eye, there are no traces of running, and when it is drying, the top rice After pouring it into the inside, and then stirring it with a big fire, after a few times, the rice turned yellow, put it out and put it by Wang Juan’s side, and let her continue to bake it with scorpion for a while.
Zhang Xiaobao only had the rice that was cut into the middle part, and took out a flat net made of iron wire.
Put the rice cooker on it carefully, then take the charcoal and light it on the vertical stove. When the charcoal fire is completely red, take a thin iron sheet and rub it with ginger.
Then cover it on the furnace.
Then put the wire mesh in your hand on the iron sheet, and use the charcoal fire to burn the iron sheet and bake the crockpot on the wire mesh at the temperature that rises.
Wang Juan frowned as she looked at it: “This is troublesome, depending on the situation, it’s best if the rice in your hand is right.”
“Yes, the one in my hand smells a little burnt. It is crispy and tough, and the aroma of the rice is similar to the rice. The incense is mixed together, and when you eat it and chew hard, it will make a banging noise, and when you shout it in your mouth, it will be as glutinous as a rice cake for a while, and when you re-process it later, just add a little salt.”
Zhang Xiaobao kept his eyes on the barbed wire, From time to time, put your hands aside to test the temperature, and occasionally dip your fingers in spit, put it on the grill, and see how fast it dries.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao’s serious appearance, Wang Juan really didn’t know what to say. No wonder Xiaobei and the others didn’t like to eat outside food, and they always pestered their brother to cook at home.
It’s true that he never tires of eating and eating, and he never tires of being fine, and he feeds the mouths of the little guys.
Wang Juan turned around and continued to look at the shovel in front of him, turning it over with a shovel from time to time.
So as not to be baked, it will be very troublesome for the little ones to throw it aside immediately after tasting it.
When I thought that maybe the two I had in my hand were worse than the one in Xiaobao’s.
Wang Juan was puzzled and asked: “Since you are doing better. Why don’t you let people bring you food? Why do you keep me busy?
” There is no good or bad in comparison. If you compare the three kinds of pots to them, they will know that things that are not of the same name are of the same level. Like this one in my hand, it takes a lot of effort to make. Selling, the price is also higher than the kind of rice that I have fried.
At that time, I said that I will sell you the rice, and I will sell it to you directly. As for the rice that you are baking, you can taste it a little, and then smell it. I have it in my hand. To watch but not to be despised.
Zhang Xiaobao took a small pair of
tweezers and started to turn the rice noodles. The movements were gentle, but the speed was very fast.
Wang Juan laughed: “So your rice dumplings taste like lotus?”
Is it not sticking to the mud if you throw it in the mud?
”
“That needs to be smeared with a lot of oil, otherwise the water in the pot will be very strong.
”
“Pomp mouth, you say your rice cake is good, do others believe it?”
“Wang Juan gave Zhang Xiaobao a look and asked again.
“If you don’t believe me, we can compare, hold a rice cooker competition, formulate the rules and items, and give a final score. Whoever has the highest score will have leftover rice cooker. From now on, we can’t sell it, we can only rent, rent. Smell the smell for two days in the past, and then send it back, or continue to rent it.
When
he spoke, the net in Zhang Xiaobao’s hand was baked, and he continued to put the new one up.
Wang Juan was stunned when he heard Zhang Xiaobao’s words, then shook his head slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, showing a gentle smile. I understand, everything is understood .Xiao Bei and the others are trying to make up for the mistakes they made during the day. If they don’t sell it, they can’t find an excuse to raise the price. If they want to come over and ask my brother Xiao Bao, then Xiao Bao is now giving them an idea
. The way of supper to guide the younger brothers and sisters to solve problems, if Datang’s teachers are all-powerful like Xiaobao, there will be no stupid students in Datang except for those with particularly poor IQs.
No, even with poor IQs, I believe Xiaobao will also It will be cultivated into a genius, just like the child with very low IQ I heard before, but his understanding of music is very thorough. He usually walks out of the rhythm when he hears the singing, and finally he can conduct a symphony
. Bao, your education method cannot be imitated by anyone. It is too laborious. Many children raised by Xiaobei and their funds are not intelligent enough. Can you still educate them one by one?
”
Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao, in fact, she wanted to express her inner pain. There are too few people like Xiaobao. If there were more, would it be better for Datang.
“Isn’t a teacher’s job just to educate children? It’s not what I said if there is no class. What is intelligence? Use a rule to rank children in the world? The human brain is complicated. If you can study it thoroughly , Human beings have long become gods. Since the research is not thorough, why should we use incomprehensible standards to locate others? In
the future, we will train a group of teachers and pay them a salary that will shock others. Using the so-called low IQ children as the assessment standard, whoever teaches well, who can cultivate the child’s gifted side, is entitled to that large sum of money.
I believe that some people will succeed, didn’t I say? God closed a window, but Allah kicked the door open. Then he said Amitabha, Amitabha, that Amitabha has sweet sorrow, immeasurable gods.”
Zhang Xiaobao changed the pot again.
“Be careful, Xu Zhimo is desperately trying to find you, the old rice on my scorpion is finished. What seasoning do you put in it?” Wang Juan grabbed all the rice that was cooked before.
Throwing in the rice processed by Zhang Xiaobao again, said.
“Wait, I’ll be fine here in a while, I just put some salt in my hand. You can bake it now to make it seafood flavor, and the old rice cooker from before makes it barbecue flavor. When you taste it, Xiaobei and the others will know, It’s not that the more complex the taste, the better the taste, and the simple things in the world are not necessarily simple.”
Zhang Xiaobao was still roasting his casserole.
Ten minutes passed.
Zhang Xiaobao finished his work, placed all the pot on a large chopping board, stepped back two cloths, grabbed a handful of refined salt and threw it into the sky, waved his sleeves as it fell, and scattered it. The floating salt passed by the rice cooker.
He picked up a pot of rice and tasted it, and said, “Yes, the salt is evenly sprinkled, and there is a little taste when eating. I tasted it carefully and found that it is not salty at all.”
“Waste of salt.” Wang Juan said.
“The main reason is that the salt is cheap, the sea water can’t be used up, and the price of everyone’s salt is not high. If it is high, don’t you think I can throw it away? No, if it is high, I have to clean it up. Who dares to raise the price of salt? Come up, I’ll ruin my family. Give me the work in your hands.”
After Zhang Xiaobao threw away the salt, he didn’t clean up the hygiene, waiting for others to come over.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
After the preparation of a barbecue-flavored rice cake and a seafood-flavored one, the two walked towards the courtyard of their younger siblings.
Zhang Xiaobao is in charge of the tray.
******
“According to the method I said, all the male dogs that have been sold in the past will be taken away. Let’s see how they breed. After a few years, the dogs will be old, and they will have to buy new ones. We will collect the old dogs. Come back and kill the meat eaters.” The boy’s voice sounded when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood under the window again.
“It’s too cruel.” The big man’s voice followed: “Shepherd dogs are not like cattle and sheep. They usually help people with things, and they have paid a lot. Just like our dogs, they usually snow and pull sleds, and some training. They have the ability to search and rescue, and there are others who rush forward when they encounter danger, just to protect their masters. When
they are old and can’t work, everyone will eat them again, and they won’t talk about it. It’s not like the meat specially raised for eating. Dogs, let them spend their old years in peace, and dog meat is not good either.”
“Then don’t eat it.” Xiao Bei said.
Xiaoyuan took over the words: “The old dog is actually very useful, has rich experience, and communicates smoothly with people. In some aspects, he can bring the puppy to increase the learning speed. I don’t eat it myself, and I don’t let the puppy eat it, just like the old people we support, it’s all precious wealth.”
Zhang Xiaobao signaled to Wang Juan when he heard this. Wang Juan walked over and knocked on the door, shouting, “Open the door for my brother and sister. , I’ll bring something delicious, it’s better than dog meat.”
After a while, Xiao Bei opened the door and pouted, “I’ll knock on the door if I eavesdropped.”
“I didn’t eavesdrop.” Wang Juan shook his head.
“How do you know we’re talking about dog meat if you didn’t eavesdrop.” Becky turned around and took two steps.
“It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao were coming, did Cao Cao hear him?” Zhang Xiaobao asked.
Xiao Bei was stunned and nodded: “Understood, you should be shameless as a diplomat, and sometimes if you know what the other party says is false, you have to treat it as true, then, what is better than dog meat? ”
How can dog meat be delicious?” Zhang Xiaobao asked.
“To be honest? No matter how you cook it, it doesn’t taste good. It’s much worse than beef and mutton, especially the cold salad. You have to add a lot of seasoning, and you can’t dip it in soy sauce. The taste of beany and dog meat is really bad. It’s okay, there are also soybeans in it, but the taste is better. On the contrary, beef and mutton are also delicious in pot, better than dog meat.”
Xiaobei concluded that she had eaten it a few times, and if she didn’t want to eat it again, the guards at home I don’t eat it either. What aphrodisiacs and bullshit are said. The real good for the body is beef and mutton, but it’s not easy to kill cows casually. You can’t slaughter cows every day in the inner courtyard of your home. Usually, you eat mutton.
Zhang Xiaobao grinned twice: “The supper we sent has something to do with pot.”
“Hot pot? Seafood pot?”
“Guoba.” Zhang Xiaobao replied.
When Xiao Bei heard this, he ran over and hugged his brother, laughing non-stop, buried his head in his brother’s chest and twisted hard.
After a while, he raised his head and said, “Brother, I really admire you. What has something to do with the pot is the pot rice. Oops, I’m dying of laughter. It’s the same as you said before about household appliances that are flashlights, right?”
“Then you can’t eat them .
Eat?” Zhang Xiaobao asked while holding back a smile.
The little guys nodded at the same time: “Eat~!”
Zhang Xiaobao put the tray on the small table, lifted the lid, and pointed to the same one: “Seafood flavored. Low-cost direct sales. A small plate for a penny.”
When Xiaobei stretched it out, he pulled it back instantly: “Yes, I want money.”
“Of course, you brother and I can’t go to work for nothing. Your brother and I are Xiaobao who are very good in the mouths of the people. Is money expensive?” Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips and asked.
Xiao Bei shook his head: “It’s not expensive, it’s cheap, how much is this?”
She pointed to the plate next to the seafood-flavored rice cracker.
“There is no fixed price for this. If you have to bid, it is an auction.” Zhang Xiaobao said, he was also willing to play with his younger brothers and sisters.
Xiaoyuan stood up and said, “Brother, then tell us about the rice cakes that are going to be photographed.”
“Okay, everyone, come and have a look. It is produced by a century-old shop, with traditional recipes, modern craftsmanship, and meticulously crafted. Dedication, Barbecue-flavored rice cracker is officially unveiled today, the starting price is five cents, and each time the price is increased by no less than one cent, let’s start.”
Zhang Xiaobao said very passionately.
“Wuwen.” Xiaobei raised his hand and quoted a reserve price.
The other eight little guys shook their heads one after another, looking like this thing was not delicious.
“Wuwen, Wuwen This is the first time, the most beautiful little princess has made an offer of five cents. Let’s see, it really is a woman who doesn’t allow men. This little princess is a combination of wisdom and courage. Is there anyone who bids a higher price? Wuwen’s second time, BBQ-flavored rice is different from barbecued meat. It is not only easy to promote food digestion, but also can be used as a snack. The price increase is five cents for the third time, the deal is done, well, everyone will not support it, if I sell it like this, I have to pay to death, and there is no bonus for a penny.”
Zhang Xiaobao sighed and shook his head, looking like I was sad. .
The little guys laughed together, hugged them one by one, picked up the two flavors of hot pot and put them in their mouths to taste.
“Order, order, pay attention to order.” Zhang Xiaobao shouted like a qualified auctioneer.
“Brother, you’re so funny, you’re auctioning off with us, how could we bid against each other, and there’s one left, what is it?” Xiaobei chewed the rice and pointed to the last plate.
Zhang Xiaobao patted his sister’s head and said, “In the end, this one is only for rent, not for sale. If you rent it and smell it, you will get it back for me. You can smell it for a penny, not with your mouth. You still chew it. Oh, it’s a high-quality rice cooker, no. It’s the same price as a penny, and it’s the one that you agreed to sell, and you eat the fine ones.”
The nine little guys suddenly stopped when they heard their brother’s words.
Wang Juan squatted down, kissed Xiaoqiang
and Xiaonan who were closest to him, and said, “Why don’t you eat it? How about a fine-quality rice cooker compared to the meat of a shepherd?”
Buried in his brother’s arms, he shouted loudly after a while: “Brother, you are the best, we will let the dogs have a selection competition when we turn back, the poor ones will be sold directly, the medium bidding, the better ones will only rent and not. Sell it.”
“Then eat it, don’t eat too much, it’s not good for the stomach and intestines. After all, the rice has shrunk in size, and it’s easy to bloat when you soak it in the stomach.” Zhang Xiaobao said with a caring smile.
Xiaoyuan and the others also became more relaxed, the problem was solved, first hold a competition, and wait for the dogs to distinguish the strengths and weaknesses. Even if they want to sell directly, the ranchers will have to compete, and the demanders will be in the case of different products. Actively seek price advantage, so as to obtain.
Xiaobei ran out and asked him to bring a few bottles of soda. The excuse was that he was happy today and had a drink.
Zhang Xiaobao naturally wouldn’t veto it, and at the same time praised his sister for taking good timing. Usually, carbonated drinks are not drunk casually. Usually, they drink pure juice, but the little guys like the feeling of carbonated drinks.
“Brother, is the seafood crockpot deceptive? I can see that it is made from dried rice. It’s different, and the crockpot at the bottom of the pot is different when the rice is cooked, even if you put real shrimp noodles. It tastes a lot worse than crab noodles.”
Xiaobei ate a few seafood-flavored rice crackers that looked good, and said to his brother.
“Xiaobao sees that you have raised them, but I haven’t found any individual skills, but the ability to taste food is getting higher and higher.” Wang Juan swept Zhang Xiaobao’s eyes and said.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded to his sister: “Those who know how to eat understand life, and those who understand life know what others need and think in life, so they can manage, but the true meaning of eating is not to be able to tell the formula right away. It is from what you eat. Bit by bit when others eat this.
After knowing the suffering of the people, we can find a way to turn bitterness into sweetness. Just like my sister and I went to teach others to make jelly, highland barley is not delicious. People in the northwest used to eat it because it was convenient to grow in the climate environment.
When eating at the same time, the practice is simple.
Just fried and grilled.
So even if you bring wheat and rice, roast and fry them, the taste is not much better than highland barley, and it is better to grind the wheat into powder.
Being able to spread the cake, the shortbread is also like this.
Now that there is a pressure cooker, the highland barley is not delicious, what should I do?
By understanding the taste of highland barley, we specialize in making it.
That’s jelly.
Therefore, those who want to eat, see the people, and the people take food as their heaven.
The
nine little guys have stopped all movements to listen to the elder brother.
When Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, the little guys looked at each other, and Xiaobei said, “Brother, we know, we will eat all the other people’s food when we have time. Taste it, then take the ingredients.
Give it to someone at home to try to make a better taste and then teach it to others again.
”
Let’s not talk about anything else today, let’s eat it, the rice cracker is still delicious.”
“Zhang Xiaobao is very gratified, the younger brothers and sisters are sensible. They don’t waste their teaching.
“Brother, ask a question.
“Xiao Bei ate a few, and then said to his brother: “Why is it best to eat only a little salt?
That kind of barbecue smell is bluffing, simmering.
It is impossible to cover up the taste of seasonings such as cumin and pepper.
Boiled is simmered.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and echoed: ”
Yes, paste is paste, normally I won’t cover it up, I will improve it specially, glutinous rice is also a kind of taste, but it will be too much to reflect the taste of glutinous rice. It’s sharp, so I chose the middle part, you look simple, just put salt, it’s a lot of effort but the most.
But from the performance point of view, it is the most ordinary, just like the common people you see, everyone seems to be doing things according to a rule, and then there is prosperity, the market is noisy and the school is loud, and the children are laughing and hawking. Never stopped, as for me, the best rice cooker made for you is not the best, but I deliberately make it the best. In fact, I can still make the best seafood-flavored and barbecue-flavored ingredients.
Those who know food must consider the problems in the process of sorting out craftsmanship, but those who know the people are more difficult than those who know food, so what should we do when we are at a loss?
Easy to handle, prosperous and eye-catching, and the avenue is simple.
Those who stand by their own heart, have nothing to do with right or wrong.
The
nine little guys nodded again.
Xiaobei was still responsible for the speech: “Brother, if I heard you say that a few days ago, we would not cooperate with the livestock sales. Once we cooperate, it will definitely cause pressure on other people. And the people we contacted through Li Xiaogang, 138kanshu.com, are the thoughts in our minds now.
”
“Me again?”
Xiaoyuan didn’t know how many times he had said the same thing, but he had to stand up when he didn’t say it
. Those who are united by the crowd will seek the names of us and others. They will not conform to the laws of the people, and they will not conform to the people’s disputes.
Wang Juan took over the words and said, ”
Yes, you are looking for too many people to cooperate with. This is not an introduction, but to make the businessmen take your name into consideration when cooperating. UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.
com Your identity, as long as they hear that it is you, they will not consider whether it is in line with the current economic situation, and thus will not compete through their own efforts.
So now that you know it, what are you going to do?
Break up the original promise?
To preach another rule?
Or simply add more people on board?
”
“We… wait, we discussed it.”
Xiao Bei pulled the others and ran to the corner of the room to mumble.
After a while, the little guys came back, Xiao Bei said: “We plan to use the points system to do it. From the time we arrived at Jiannan Road, everything that was important to the country before that People who pay extra for people’s livelihood will get more points, and other people who cooperate with them will have zero points. From now on, those who pay extra money will get points and the rules will change. In the end, he must pay more than he gets. Let’s see who is willing to join us. Keep working together.
Tomorrow morning’s newspaper, we will take down the third page, send a telegram now, and coordinate with the distribution agencies in other places, so that they can remove the previous page and replace it with ours, okay?
”
“There’s no good or bad, just do it or not, go ahead, remember to eat less, I’m leaving with your sister.” Zhang Xiaobao patted Xiaobei’s head again, kissed each other’s younger siblings again, and turned to pull Wang Juan’s hand away.
