Chapter 108: The Ginkgo Tree
Hu Shuo looked at the stupid cow lying in the yard and asked Bian Rui, "What's going on with this cow in your yard?"
Bian Rui looked back at the stupid cow and found that the stupid cow was lying on his stomach now, chewing the grass leisurely, how could Hu Shuo say what was going on, 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 tilted his head to look at the stupid cow.
When Zhou Zheng and Wu Xi heard this, they almost didn't squirt out the wine in their mouths.
"Can you not be so funny when you eat, a cow still looks down on people, why don't I think he looks down on me?" Wu Xi turned his head and looked in the direction of the stupid cow.
The stupid cow tilted the huge cow's head at the moment when Wu Xi turned his head, and at the same time stopped chewing grass, a thick snort erupted from his nose, and then turned his head away from the stupid cow and continued to chew grass.
"Also...... Really, this stupid cow is indeed ...... Hey, look, it's looking at me again, and it's gouging out its eyes," Wu Xi said in surprise.
Bian Rui said: "You guys are looking at people one by one while they are eating, can the cow not despise you, okay, eat and drink, you people are all lively when they look at anything!"
As he spoke, Bian Rui picked up the wine bowl and raised it at his own person.
Silly Niu's temperament is a little silly, except for Bian Rui's family, almost everyone doesn't care much, if you want to say it's good, it's really only Bian Rui's little girl, Bian Rui's side can only let it listen to orders, but every time he stays with the little girl, Silly Niu shows warmth.
Drink less, eat a lot of food, Zhou Zheng, Hu Shuo and Wu Xi are simply a small chariot, most of the meat goes into the stomach of this couple, this combat power really makes Bian Rui a little afraid, if Fu Qingxu and others are added, Bian Rui seriously suspects that he has made less dishes.
Yan Lan didn't eat much, mainly greeted a few vegetarian dishes, and each vegetarian dish only ate a little bit, as for the rice or anything, she didn't touch anything.
"Why did you eat so little today?" Bian Rui asked in a low voice.
Yan Lan said: "My weight is more than three pounds, I am ready to control it."
Bian Rui listened and glanced at Yan Lan's figure, and shook his head secretly in his heart, Yan Lan's figure was already very thin in Bian Rui's eyes, such a tall figure was only a hundred pounds a little bit out, you must know that she was not one meter six five or one meter seven, but a big man of one meter seven or eight, such a little weight in Bian Rui's eyes is really like the old family said Lu Chai pole.
"Why don't you let this wine be drunk, you are really stingy," Zhou Zheng said.
Bian Rui explained: "It's not that I'm stingy, but this wine is easy to get drunk, because you think it's fragrant and shallow, and you get drunk unconsciously, if you want to drink, let's have a good drink tonight, and fall asleep after drinking, let's put the small table directly in my main room, turn on the floor heating, how about we drink at will?"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "It's about the same, by the way, is this wine from my grandfather?"
Bian Rui understood what Zhou Zheng meant, so he nodded and said that when Old Man Zhou came to the restaurant for dinner in the past, he used this wine to entertain them.
"No wonder my grandfather says that your wine is good from time to time, by the way, get me a few jars when I go back, and I will go back twice to honor my grandfather," Zhou Zheng said.
Bian Rui waved his hand again and again and said: "This is really not good, I only have this half of the jar here, if you want to drink, wait for a while, wait for the new cellar to open, and I will help you get two jars at that time."
"There are only two jars to open a new cellar?" Zhou Zheng felt that this was too little.
Yan Lan said at this time: "Don't look at the two jars, there are really a lot, I wish Tongqiang to stay here all day, and people agreed to sell three jars of cellar wine, and many of them were ordered away before they left the cellar."
"It's not strange that it's so sought-after, I wonder why you don't make more of such a good wine?" Zhou Zheng asked.
Bian Rui said: "You don't think you want to, it's not that you don't want to come, the raw materials are not enough at all, so don't think about it anymore."
Bian Rui had to explain the reason for the small production of wine to the two of them again.
Bian Rui took over Lao Zu's industry, so he naturally knew what kind of transformation Lao Zu had done to the nearby mountains, forests, water and soil, and it was not that he could not make another Bian Jia Village, but where could he get it? Looking around, it was not his own territory, serving others? To be honest, Bian Rui's consciousness was really not so high. Second, such an environment must also be maintained, and if such an environment is put in a place where there are greedy and no moral standards, it will definitely be a disaster.
"How many years has this ginkgo tree grown in your yard, good guy is so thick that it is placed in the yard like a big umbrella, almost covering the entire yard," Hu Shuo was full of food and drink, and looked east and west while picking his teeth.
Bian Rui said: "It's been a hundred years, anyway, this tree has been hugged by the two since my father was a child."
Wu Xi asked, "Is it still the result?"
"Why don't you bear fruit, I'll send you some to taste when it bears fruit, but let's make it clear first, the fruit of this tree is not very delicious, not as delicious as the apricot grandchildren outside, and you have eaten ginkgo seeds, if you haven't eaten it, then you will definitely not be able to adapt to it all of a sudden, there is a smell of stinky feet, and the fruit of this tree is even more so, if you use the microwave oven to heat it, the whole house of that guy will suddenly be called sour...... "Bian Rui said with a smile.
"That's not for nothing, this big tree is blind," Hu Shuo put down his toothpick, twisted his body, looked at the big tree trunk next to him, and then walked over and patted it twice.
Bian Rui said: "No, you have to be able to do it, this old tree knot ginkgo to be able to eat, this thing stewed chicken is the best, and the stewed is not a chicken but a pheasant, we have a kind of white pheasant here, behind the tail is three or four long tails, the tail can be sixty or seventy centimeters long, the whole body is snow-white, this tail is fiery red, use this kind of chicken and if the old chicken stews this ginkgo seed, put it in a clay pot and simmer it slowly over low heat, stew for a few hours, then it is called a delicious." There is no white pheasant with free-range old chickens, it must be a local chicken, the smell of foreign chickens is not right, you can't get out of your mouth, a smell of, only local chickens, it is best to add more than five or six years of local chickens, put into the clay pot only add ginkgo nuts, simmer for more than ten hours, although not as good as white pheasants, but it is OK."
Wu Xi said: "Break the law, can the pheasant still be eaten?"
"Of course not, but you just hide and eat, now the mountains and forests are protected, and no one has beaten anything for many years, many things are actually rotten, and there are no big things to control, maybe it will become an ecological chain crisis in the future," Bian Rui said.
Now there is nothing to fight in the forest, everyone goes in to pick mushrooms, pick a wild or something, as long as it is two-legged and can run, the law is not allowed to move, and as long as the pheasant or something enters the old forest, you can see it from time to time. There is a lack of medium and large carnivores in the old forest, so the forest has slowly become a paradise for herbivores, there are no natural enemies and children are born, the number has long recovered, and now there are a little more wild boars, and from time to time they come down the mountain to harm the crops, but they have not been to Bianjia Village.
"What else do you have to eat in this forest?"
Bian Rui thought for a while and said: "After more than a month, the snails in the old Linzi stream can be eaten, the best food in the summer is the frog, and in the autumn it is the best time, after the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, the crabs in the stream can be eaten, at first it is a female crab, and at the end of November and the beginning of December is the best time, the female crab is fat and the male crab is full of paste, so it is called a delicious one."
"Purple Shell Crab?" Yan Lan asked.
Bian Rui nodded. Purple shell crab is the name of the village, generally called Tan crab, the shell is green with purple, to the fattest time in the shell of the blue purple will reach the peak, then the village people will go to catch crabs. Of course, when boiled, it's just like a normal crab, and it's a red shell.
Yan Lan said: "I have heard people say that this thing, I must try it this year."
Bian Rui smiled: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll get you a few to taste, and I'll get a few for all of you!"
After speaking, Bian Rui stood up and began to put away the table, and said to Zhou Zheng and the others while collecting: "You go and take a rest, when you have rested, I will make you a rod to go fishing, don't you want to eat small fish pot stickers at night, we can do as much as we caught, 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 still do some work, as for Wu Xi Bian Rui, she didn't dare to let her work, the number of small bowls in her house was not much, she broke a few, and Bian Rui had to buy it.
"You don't have to put on this pose, go and rest, remember not to be greedy, cover your stomach with something and then sleep, so as not to catch a cold," Bian Rui said.
Wu Xi didn't care, clapped his hand on Hu Shuo's shoulder, the two of them had a room to talk and laugh, and Zhou Zheng sat directly on the recliner in the courtyard, and fell asleep with his head crooked after a while, and soon snoring.
"It's a bit surprising that you can become good friends with them!" Yan Lan said with a smile.
Bian Rui said: "There is an organic fate between people, Hu Shuo was in college when I had a conflict with the people of the Chengjiao Academy, seven or eight people came to block me, and in the two dormitories, except for him who brought a bench to stand next to me, everyone else was too timid and shrunk in the room and did not move." As for Zhou Zheng, don't look at him like this, he is actually a person who is very willing to help people, as long as you know him, he thinks that you are still on par, and when you encounter difficulties, you will reach out and pull a hand."
Yan Lan listened and said: "It's true, I think you are a little cold, and I don't know how you chase girls like this."
Bian Rui thought for a moment and laughed: "You didn't expect it, it wasn't me chasing girls before, it was girls chasing me, and there was more than one."
Yan Lan said: "Yo, you're still panting!"
Bian Rui didn't say much when he saw that she didn't believe it.
