"Boss, what's the deal with 100 yuan per catty of sky-high vegetables?"

"What kind of sky-high vegetables, you shouldn't be having auditory hallucinations in your ears that are roaring from the stereo, right?"

"Boss, you are lying again!" the fat man chased after him and said, "I obviously heard it, and the beautiful village chief also said that someone had already come to your house to pick vegetables and deliver food." ”

"Look! This is not an auditory hallucination? Look, the babies are starting to have conjectures......" Yu Zehai spread his hands and said seriously: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Huzi to see what he heard just now?"

"Huzi, did you hear that just now?" the fat man still didn't give up.

"No!" Huzi shook his head, and then said angrily: "I just heard that Village Chief He praised the boss, and then asked each family to send a representative to sign the road construction agreement!"

"No, could it be that I really had auditory hallucinations just now?" Zhang Zhiwen tugged at his hair, and then asked again: "By the way, boss, what Village Chief He said just now is not right, 900,000 yuan a year, so shouldn't the 20-year contract cost be 18 million? Why is it 16.2 million again? This one, it shouldn't be me having auditory hallucinations, right?"

"Do you have 100,000 in your head?" Yu Zehai looked back at the fat man with disdain, and said angrily: "Your boss and I have contracted for 50 years at one time, plus your boss and I look like Yushu, handsome and chic, people love flowers and flowers, and then, the leaders of the village committee unanimously decided to give your boss and I will waive the first two years of contracting fees?"

"Okay! Okay! This is really too good!" Zhang Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said: "I see! No wonder, I will say that Village Chief He is a dignified college student village official, so he will not make such a low-level mistake." However, in this way, the people in your village are still very good to you, and with the two-year buffer period, it is a godsend for development!"

"That's a must!"

Yu Zehai pushed open the door of his courtyard and said: "Huzi is responsible for cooking the pot for a while, the fat man is responsible for washing and picking vegetables, and I am in charge of the chef, let's move faster, they may come back soon." ”

"Good!"

"No problem!"

Under Yu Zehai's order, the temporary trio in the back kitchen was established.

After Yu Zehai entered the stove room, he roughly glanced at the leftover vegetables that his mother had made before, and then ran to the vegetable field with a flashlight and a small bamboo cage, quickly picked some vegetables, and rushed back like the wind. He handed the bamboo cage in his hand to the fat man and said, "Take it to the side of the pressurized water well in the courtyard dam, I have turned on the electric light for you, clean it up as soon as possible and get it back!"

"Roger!"

The vegetables in the vegetable garden are still growing well, and it seems that everything is the result of watering the pure spiritual spring last time. 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 irrigate the ground with the blended spiritual spring water every day, and it is enough to have one once a week.

Yu Zehai tied an apron, and after cleaning his hands, he quickly prepared onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, chili pepper and other condiments. There is a lot of attention to cooking, and so are the condiments. Some dishes come with ingredients that need to be shredded, such as vinegared shredded potatoes, some sliced, like dry pot potato chips, and some diced, like chicken stewed with potatoes...... Especially garlic, if you want to make garlic salad, you need to pound it with a stone mortar.

Opening a small jar next to the board, Yu Zehai fished out a piece of salted wild boar from it and began to prepare a few meat dishes for tonight. To be honest, when he saw the piece of salted meat in his hand, Yu Zehai's heart was also full of emotion.

No way!

Rural conditions are poor, and under the premise of not having a refrigerator at home, especially in summer, it is difficult to properly preserve some meat. In summer, the temperature is high, and the meat is easy to stink and rot, so usually few people in the countryside choose to kill pigs and sheep during this season.

The preservation of meat is nothing more than drying, salting and low-temperature storage.

Without refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators and freezers, it is obviously impossible to refrigerate at low temperatures, so it is common for everyone to dry and dehydrate fresh meat over a fire or in a ventilated and cool place. The growth and reproduction of various microorganisms require the most suitable water content, generally speaking, at least 40%~50% water is required; if there is no appropriate water content, microorganisms can not grow and reproduce. It is possible to reduce the water content in fresh meat to less than 20% and inhibit the activity of water, so as to prolong the storage time.

Secondly, it is the salting method.

However, some bacteria are more salt-tolerant, and salting alone is obviously not enough to achieve the purpose of long-term preservation. Therefore, the villagers usually use a combination of drying and salting in summer, that is, first try to remove the moisture from the fresh meat, and then use a large amount of salt to increase the osmotic pressure of the meat, so as to ensure the storage cycle of the meat.

"Forget it, let's wait until the highway is opened, it's really hard to get that thing back now. What's more, the people in the village have not had that kind of high-tech gadgets for generations, so they still come here? Yu Zehai shook his head and began his cooking demonstration.

Originally, he wanted to go to the chicken pen to catch a chicken and slaughter it, but it was dark at night, and he was in a hurry, so he saved it directly. With this wild boar, and the cooked food that was lost in the space in his tower, it would be enough to make do with it.

Speaking of the space in the tower, Yu Zehai recently made a new discovery, that is, no matter what kind of cooked food and cold drinks, as long as they are thrown into the space of the tower, it is like being placed in a vacuum world, as long as it is not taken out, it will never rot and deteriorate!

Because of this, when Yu Zehai was in the city and town, he purchased a lot of cooked food and meat. It's just that under the premise that there is no refrigerator at home, how to take out those things requires him to use a little brain.

"Boss, why is your food so austic?" The fat man held a cucumber in one hand and a tomato in the other, and said in a slurred voice: "Seriously, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious vegetable!

"Okay, okay!" Yu Zehai waved his hand to interrupt the fat man's words, and said angrily: "You kid can be leisurely, don't stuff things into your mouth indiscriminately, and if you go to the table for a while but you don't have a stomach, then your baby will be blind!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm average, but the amount of food is still okay!"

Over time, one dish after another was remediated. Meat dishes include stir-fried wild boar with large green peppers, cabbage back to the pot, and stir-fried wild boar with garlic sprouts, leek eggs, garlic spinach, and cucumbers, and cooked dishes include spiced beef, peanuts, braised chicken feet, and corn rib soup stewed in a pot......

"Okay, okay, this is too good!" looked at the fat man next to him and drooled, and said, "It's so hearty and fragrant...... Damn! Why do I drool just by smelling this? ”

"Huzi, fatty, you go wash your hands and wash your face, let's get ready to open up!" Yu Zehai waved his hand to let the two of them out, and poured a small bowl of spiritual spring for the crab that had been humming at his feet, and then took the basin and took the rag to clean up the table.

No way!

The little guy has just grown two small front teeth, and he still can't bite anything for the time being, so he can only drink spring water every day, drink some porridge and vegetable soup to make do.

"Wow, what does this smell like, it's so fragrant!"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the courtyard gate, and at the same time, there was He Bingbing's very characteristic girlish voice.

"Yes, you came at the right time!" Yu Zehai walked out when he heard this, took the lead in taking the projector in He Bingbing's arms, and said with a smile: "Except for the projector and notebook, everything else is put in the courtyard first." Village Chief He, Brother Ming, Uncle Tang, and Mom and Dad, hurry up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner! Fat Huzi, you two will go to serve food after washing your hands, and I have already cleaned up the table in the hall!"

"Roger!"

The two said in unison.

"Yu Zehai, but my aunt has already cooked at home. He Bingbing hesitated for a moment and said.

"Auntie cooks, let her eat at home first, you and Uncle Tang eat here. Yu Zehai said undoubtedly: "Besides, what's the difference between eating ready-made food at my house and going back to eat?

"That's okay! Xiao He girl, and Mingwa, let's eat at Haiwa's house tonight. Speaking of this, Tang Mingde turned his head to Yu Zhenchuan and Wang Shufen and said, "Then tonight I will trouble Zhenchuan and Shufen." ”

"That's right!" Yu Zhenchuan nodded and said with a smile: "We are all from the village, how can we get up and leave when we encounter a meal? By the way, I'm going to get some roasted wine on the whole day, and we're going to have a few drinks tonight!"

"Let's drink some of it!" Tang Mingde nodded and said with a smile: "For our Yujiaao Village, tonight is an important day, I estimate that many people will be drunk and unconscious tomorrow morning......

"Yes!" Yu Zeming next to him interjected: "Even my grandfather was just now beckoning a few elders to go to the house to drink a few cups." ”

When Yu Zehai heard this, he hurriedly exclaimed: "What, Third Grandpa, he doesn't have anything to drink, but he is old after all, this ......"

"Don't worry, my dad is keeping watch at home. Yu Zeming shook his head, laughed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go back!" Haiwazi, you don't know, every time my grandfather wants to drink, my father stares at the side, and the two of them have to quarrel a few words every time. It's not that the family is stingy and stingy, afraid of how much alcohol the old man has drunk, the main thing is that the person is too old and is afraid of something wrong when he drinks. ”

"It's right to do this!" He Bingbing next to him also nodded again and again, and said: "The third grandfather is too old is one aspect, and in addition, before the road at the entrance of our village is opened, the medical conditions in the village are not guaranteed, so I should try to be careful as much as possible, just in case!"
