Chapter 44: Night in the Village

The dishes for dinner were originally very rich, with meat and vegetarian dishes, and after adding Jiang Xiaoxuan and Gu Xueshi, two good dishes were added.

It's not like Zhou Ying said before, it's just two more people and two pairs of chopsticks.

Like her mother, she looked at these two girls as if she was looking at her brother and daughter-in-law, very enthusiastic, and beckoned them to eat with vegetables, not polite.

Seeing that Wang Rui is so complaining, it's just that he is not biological, and now his mother seems to be better to two strangers than to him.

Why didn't my mother let me pick up more vegetables? Is it because I wasn't diligent enough today?

But Wang Siqi didn't think so much about him, he only cared about eating. There were many people at the table, there were many dishes, and when she ate lively, she was even happier, and she wanted to eat this and that.

Zhou Heng didn't care so much, and accompanied Zhang Feng's family to drink.

Jiang Xiaoxuan picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully. It was a local practice that she hadn't seen before.

After tasting it, her eyes suddenly lit up, and it was quite delicious.

It can be said that although she resists inheriting her father's ambition to be a chef, her innate sensitivity to food and the exposure she has had since she was a child have made some of her behaviors habitual.

Seeing the pleasing food, she subconsciously thought, this is good, how did you do it?

And the practice of this plate of fish in front of her is really something she has never seen before, and the taste is very different, with a unique flavor and taste, which is very delicious.

She asked, "Auntie, how do you make this fish?"

Li Yunlian saw that she was very eye-catching, and the "daughter-in-law" asked her, and she said with a smile: "This is an ordinary rural practice, the fish is brought back by Xiao Heng, and if you can't finish it, you can put it in the jar and marinate it for a few days." ”

She didn't expect that the "casual practice in the countryside" in her mouth had attracted Jiang Xiaoxuan's attention.

A lot of the food actually comes from the countryside, and if it is discovered, it will become a delicacy in the house, and if it is not discovered, it can only be tasted in the countryside.

Jiang Xiaoxuan asked very modestly and meticulously, how exactly this fish is made, if she has time, she will also want to try it.

After all, the chef's skills that have been exposed to since childhood have been soaked in her bones, although she is very resistant, she will still subconsciously want to do it, which she didn't even realize herself.

As usual, it was Zhou Heng who gave the translation.

This method is probably a special method for marinating fish in the summer, because the fish will stink if you are not careful.

You don't need it in winter, it's a natural freezer at minus a few degrees, and you can marinate it as much as you want.

Li Yunlian cleaned the fish that could not be eaten in one meal, filtered the water, and then salted them with various condiments, put them in the jar, and put them in a dark place at home, not exposed to high temperature and sunlight.

In this way, after about two or three days, the fish is marinated and flavored, and you can take it out and eat it at any time, put it in a pot and fry it, or add some vegetables and mushrooms to cook it together, which is fragrant and flavorful.

As for which condiments, Li Yunlian said bluntly without hesitation, but unfortunately Jiang Xiaoxuan is not a local, and sometimes she doesn't know the local wild plants as condiments.

Overall, this dish is really unique.

In the era when there were no refrigerators, people used this local method to marinate fish, which was convenient and delicious to eat, which was really good.

In addition to this one she has never seen, the rest of the daily dishes are also very delicious, especially those fresh vegetables, which are really called fresh.

Even Gu Xueshi said: "No wonder this natural farmhouse dish is popular, it is really delicious! ”

She also complimented Li Yunlian: "Auntie's cooking skills are so good!"

made Li Yunlian happy.

Nowadays, it seems that this is the kind of era, and the overcrowding of regular attractions has made many people dislike, and they like to drive their cars to go on road trips, go to some beautiful places with few people, find local farm food, and experience a slow life.

This feeling seems to be the "petty bourgeoisie" of the new generation.

In the past, the mood of listening to music and tasting expensive coffee in an exquisite coffee house is no longer much in the eyes of people.

Gu Xueshi said with emotion: "Actually, you have good scenery and good food here, so you lack popularity, otherwise, it can really become a popular attraction." ”

Zhou Heng said: "We are too remote here, others just know about it, and they don't want to come, right?"

Jiang Xiaoxuan interjected: "What are you afraid of from afar! If you are not far away, others will not come! The places near are crowded with people, and there is nothing to see." ”

Zhou Heng thought to himself, if someone is really willing to travel to them, then it seems that it is also very good to have a few homestays in their village!

In rural areas, after young people go out to work, the house is empty anyway, and it is not a good thing that you can make some money by doing a homestay?

For example, today, the people in the village took those people to live and took care of them for dinner, and they received some money, which can also subsidize the family.

But I'm afraid it's just a thought, the college students will leave soon, and I don't know when the next group of outsiders will come.

Moreover, if you really want to do a homestay, the current living conditions are definitely not good, and the aesthetic and sanitary conditions are not up to standard.

If you want to do it, you will definitely need to renovate and decorate, which will cost money. Many families may not have the budget to renovate their home for the time being.

It's not going to be easy, anyway.

Zhou Heng thought for a while, and suddenly thought, isn't this something that the village chief should worry about?

However, their village chief, don't count on that. It's a good hand at making all kinds of money, and I haven't seen him do anything else.

If he had this heart and the ability to act, Longxi Village would definitely be more than that.

Now the country is vigorously developing the rural areas to get rid of poverty and become rich, so that how many village chiefs have been fattened is a tacit thing.

It can almost be said that the village chief of many villages is the richest man in the village.

If the people in the village really want to get rich, they can only rely on themselves.

While eating, Zhang Feng's family left first after eating, and in the courtyard was Zhou Heng's family, as well as Jiang Xiaoxuan and her best friend.

By this time, the sun had set, there was only some afterglow left in the sky, and the chickens had already returned to the chicken coop.

Jiang Xiaoxuan took out a remote control camera and took aerial photos of the twilight around her.

Last time, she wanted to shoot the morning light in the mountain village, but Zhou Heng said it too late, and when she climbed to the top of the mountain, she couldn't shoot the morning light at all, and if she really wanted to shoot, she had to get up in the middle of the night, or go up the mountain a day in advance and squat there.

So, she bought a remote-controlled drone aerial camera.

There are more than 320,000 units, which can shoot 4K high-definition video content during the day and infrared shooting at night, such as going to the jungle to shoot nocturnal animals.

In the era of "three poor generations of SLR", she bought this thing as soon as she raised her hand and practiced shooting.

Rich people like to use Hermes bags to show off their worth and show off their wealth? She has already jumped out of that level and doesn't need to show off. Just buy something inconspicuous and it's already worth more than that.

She doesn't need to drive a Maserati to hit a BMW to show that her family is rich, but she is willing to take those students to watch the shadow puppet show that is about to break its inheritance, even if she lives in the same mountain village.

It can only be said that the pursuit of people is different.

However, she has only been touching this machine for a few days, and she is not very proficient yet, so if there is anything to do, she will take it out to play and shoot something.

Twilight Mountain Village has a quiet beauty, and she tries to find angles in order to shoot the best video in her mind.

The scenery here is very good, the place is big enough and spacious enough, and the radius of dozens of miles is full of places where she gallops.

……

Compared with their quiet and leisurely, those college students who came with them began to have a lively discussion at this time.

Today, they are very touched by the old art of shadow puppetry. These future artists are already very thoughtful.

Whether this kind of old art, which is about to be broken, is worth continuing to pass on, which is already a common topic, but it is not today's topic.

One student came up with an idea: "Why don't we team up and do a project? I want to do it with shadow puppetry, and I think it's possible." ”

As the sky darkened and the stars appeared, a dozen people strolled along the village path, beginning to talk about their thoughts and express their opinions.

At their age, they are the most thoughtful and executable age, and they have not yet graduated, so they don't need to think about so many worldly things, so if they have ideas, they can immediately prepare to realize them.

And they already have their own academic tasks to complete, no matter what type of main they are, they always have to choose one.

As a result, a small movie that will cause a huge national debate will be produced from here.

But that's another story.

The night was wonderful in its own way.

Jiang Xiaoxuan and Gu Xueshi were resting in the courtyard of Zhou Heng's house, and at this time, Zhou Heng's family had already rested separately, and they quietly walked out of the room to enjoy the night scene outside.

Looking up at the starry sky, with the sound of frogs chirping and crickets chirping, it is also a pleasant pleasure to enjoy such tranquility after a long day's journey.

Since the kitten got into their hands, they haven't let them go down to the ground, and they have been holding and petting, and now, the kitten has begun to fall asleep.

Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled at her best friend: "I heard that the kitten is snoring, it means that it is very comfortable and relaxed, is it very relaxed and happy when it is on my lap?"

Gu Xueshi said, "Eh, why don't we steal the cat tomorrow?"

Jiang Xiaoxuan raised her head and looked around, seeing if Zhou Heng was here, and then said, "You really did it, if it was true, I would never report you, and I brought back its cat food." ”

Gu Xueshi "sighed" at her and said, "Out of breath! I'll ask him openly tomorrow to see if he gives it or not! As the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, in front of this fairy, no one can say 'no', just watch it!"

Jiang Xiaoxuan couldn't help laughing.

Childish no!

It wasn't until the night was getting deeper and deeper that they returned to the room Zhou Ying had arranged for them to rest.

Early the next morning, the sky was bright, Li Yunlian had already gotten up, braved the morning fog, went to the field to pick vegetables, and prepared to make breakfast for the family.
