Chapter 22: Cook by yourself

Jiang Lijun naturally chatted with Zhou Heng's parents, and asked them how old they were, how many fields they planted, and whether their bodies could afford to eat.

Zhou Faqiang replied very seriously: "The fields add up to a total of twenty acres. This year's policy is to plant cotton for 300 yuan per mu, and the purchasing station also guarantees the price, so a lot of cotton is planted. ”

At present, the state also has macroeconomic regulation and control over the rural areas, and after the general grain reserves are sufficient, there will be some other aspects of promotion.

Jiang Lijun nodded, indicating that he understood, a large part of cotton is used to make gunpowder, and the policy encourages it like this, and the intention can be seen.

Then, he jokingly said: "That subsidy is so much, are your village cadres greedy?" ha......

Zhou Faqiang didn't expect that this big boss still knew so much about farming, and he suddenly felt that this was our own person, so he was also very relaxed.

He said helplessly: "Then why aren't you greedy? Those village cadres, each family reported dozens of acres of cotton land. If people apply for subsidies now, they have to stand on the top of their own cotton fields and take a video to testify, and they will borrow other people's land to shoot, which is very cunning!"

Report dozens of acres, and the subsidy of 300 yuan per mu is tens of thousands of yuan, which is in vain.

Jiang Lijun shook his head and said that he was speechless, the village cadres are so powerful, and this alone can be greedy for so much.

You are greedy, at least you have to put some effort into building the village!

He can see that in fact, the basic conditions of this village are not bad, the resources are very good, as long as he thinks of some more ways to make everyone rich, there is still no problem.

However, he is a foreigner, and he has nothing to do here, and he will not go to many things.

The world is as black as a crow, and it's not just here.

If someone else goes up, it has to be like this!

Last year, the village chief of this village was exposed by a team leader, and he was dismissed from above, and as a result, the village chief went to the city to run relations and reinstated the official.

In the end, he also straightened out the captain of the team.

Where does this make sense?

However, the team leader is estimated to be going for the village chief's seat. Even if he relied on exposing and knocking others down, he would be just as greedy when he went up.

He didn't expose it out of incorruptibility.

Now, in a rural village like theirs, you have to rely on yourself to get rich, and if you want to count on something, then forget it.

It would be good to be able to give the subsidy policy in full.

In some villages, even the villagers' pension subsidies can be blacked out. The people in the village are old, and they don't understand a lot of things, and it's not like they do what they say.

After chatting for a while, I watched that it was about to start making dinner.

Li Yunlian got up to go to the kitchen, but Jiang Lijun stopped her and said, "Don't do it today, I'll come!"

Zhou Faqiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "How can this be! You are guests from afar, how can you cook for a reason?"

Jiang Lijun laughed and said that he was a cook himself, so of course he had to make it himself. Whether the ingredients are good or not, he knows when he gets started.

At this moment, it is irrefutable, but it makes the owner's family uneasy.

There is no such precedent!

The host's house is idle, let the guests cook, this spreads, it seems that their family is mean!

Jiang Lijun has repeatedly said that it doesn't matter, when he was a child, his family was very poor, and he was also from the countryside, and he was born as a farmer when he was a child.

Later, I learned the craft with the chef and went to the south to explore, and I had good luck, so I have today. Although he has money, he has not forgotten his roots.

In a few words, Zhou Heng really admired it.

Boss Jiang spoke beautifully, but his momentum was still undiminished, which was really convincing.

Even Jiang Xiaoxuan was beside her to help and said: "My dad goes to any restaurant to try the ingredients, he cooks by himself, and he cooks very well." ”

Jiang Lijun suddenly smiled at his daughter and said: "It's my master who teaches well, and my master is a powerful person!"

Come on, the father and daughter also sang a double reed.

I couldn't resist them, and in the end I let the guests cook.

Jiang Lijun opened his luggage, showed off a full set of knives, put on a chef's hat, and fastened an apron.

He skillfully killed chickens, scalded hair, and plucked feathers, and only let Jiang Xiaoxuan help him throughout the whole process, and the rest of the people could just sit and wait.

While doing these things, Zhou Heng noticed Jiang Lijun's expression, it was really different.

He usually talks to people with humility and courtesy, rich but not arrogant, but when he does this, he seems to be deeply immersed in it, and his world seems to be the only one.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at the ingredients in his hand as if they were his prey.

Zhou Heng knew that his description might be a bit exaggerated, he had seen his parents cook all his life, and he had seen many other people cook, and even a lot of chefs or something.

But he'd never seen a man do that.

Is cooking really an art?

It's really hard to say, some people regard the carpenter as an ordinary craftsman, but there are also people who regard the carpenter as an artist and his work as a work of art.

Some people see the craftsman as a subsistence job, as an obsolete old craft, and some as the crystallization of art.

How can I say that? Being in the middle of it may be the only way to understand that feeling.

When Zhou Heng saw Jiang Lijun's eyes, he knew that the wealth was indeed owned by these people.

Even if he is doing cooking, which is something that people think is ordinary, he still can't be taken lightly.

The charm of people's personalities is really impossible to say.

Today's cooking method is still stewed. Zhou Heng said that he dug up new bamboo shoots yesterday, and when he was just ready to eat them now, he decided to use this.

Jiang Xiaoxuan is in charge of adding firewood to the stove, Jiang Lijun is in charge, and from time to time he will teach her some points by words and deeds, which is completely a real chef's style.

He said that Jiang Xiaoxuan had learned this kind of wood-burning stove before, and in terms of Chinese food, she had been exposed to it since she was a child, and she had already achieved a small success, so she was sent to study in the United States again.

He said that he hopes to combine Chinese and Western cultures and take the essence of them, not just words.

Zhou Heng could see that this was not cultivating ordinary first-class chefs, but ...... Like cultivating a successor to the sect?

Jiang Lijun said with a smile: "You have good eyesight, our faction has really broken off the inheritance, and now it is all tied to me!

Looking at the way he laughed, I don't know if he was joking or serious.

Jiang Xiaoxuan took a sentence and said, "So, you transferred the responsibility and pressure to me again!"

Jiang Lijun smiled and did not deny it.

Zhou Heng also smiled casually and asked, "Then which sect are you?"

Jiang Lijun spread his hands: "I can't say it yet, I will lose my teacher's face if I say it." You'll know when that day comes!"

It didn't take long for the familiar scent to come out.

It was not the first time that Zhou Heng's family had heard it, and they were relatively calm, but Jiang Lijun's father and daughter were surprised.

Seriously, over the years, not to mention how many good ingredients he has found, just by eating, he can be regarded as having eaten all over the world, and this is the first time he has encountered this kind of soothing fragrance.

Good ingredients, he found it!

Just by smelling it, he was sure that the ingredient was perfectly fine, and it had completely exceeded his expectations.

The chef doesn't need to mention it, when to add condiments, when to adjust the heat, when to cover the stew, and when to come out in one breath, completely methodical.

It looks like it's professional.

In the next few dishes, Li Yunlian prepared the ingredients and prepared to do it herself, after all, the big boss just tasted the chicken, and didn't say that he wanted to taste anything else, so he couldn't let people do it all.

As a result, Jiang Lijun contracted with all his might, and all of them did a good job.

Get busy, and a few dishes are served.

Jiang Lijun was so busy that his clothes were soaked, and this was the condition in the rural kitchen.

But smelling the aroma of stewed chicken soup, all these efforts are worth it, and he is happy.

Hurriedly wash your face and get ready to start eating.

It's much cooler outside the kitchen now, at least cooler than by the stove.

The breeze in the yard was blowing, and the heat had subsided, which was a little pleasant.

Once everyone is seated at the table and the dishes are savored, it's time to decide everything.

Zhou Faqiang and his wife are very hung with a heart, they know that their chickens are good, but because the kitchen conditions are not good, I don't know if it will make the big boss unhappy.

He was unhappy and didn't come to buy chickens, wasn't that in vain?

However, all their worries were finally put into their stomachs.

Jiang Xiaoxuan just put a chopstick chicken into her mouth, and said, "Dad, has your cooking skills improved?"

Jiang Lijun smiled: "It's rare for you to say a good word, then I have to taste it." ”

He tasted the soup first, and suddenly felt refreshed, and said: "It's progress, it's progress, I have to praise myself, hahaha......"

Then, he invited Zhou Heng's family again: "You guys eat too! Taste my craftsmanship and see if it's okay?" ”

A chef is a chef, and the dish is very different, not to mention eating, but even looking at it.

I really didn't expect that my own stove could make such a meal.

Zhou Heng's parents have never even been to a bigger restaurant, how have they ever seen such a chef-level work!

The family seems to be a guest at someone else's house, but now it is a little restrained, eating the chef's skills, saying good again and again, full of praise.

Zhou Heng tasted it, what he didn't say, one word, delicious. He had tasted such a taste in Boss Jiang's private restaurant before, and even foreign guests were amazed.

It seems that the chef in the private restaurant is either his apprentice or cooks according to his requirements.

After the meal, a few people sat comfortably in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and they didn't even have the idea of getting up and going out.

Not long after I sat down, it was time for the chickens to come back.

The big rooster walked in front, leading his harem back with high spirits, and it was lively.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the courtyard with golden light, and the return of these chickens seems to illuminate the entire courtyard.

Jiang Lijun is really rare to see.

When he plucked the feathers, he noticed that even the chicken feathers were very different, and when the sun shone on them, there seemed to be a layer of suspended light on them.

Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled very strangely: "Dad, look at that big rooster, it still has a team!

Zhou Heng got up and went to feed the chickens, and soon, the yard was filled with a "tuk-tuk" pecking sound.
