Chapter 436: Food Festival
Under the strong request of the clansmen, Huang Zhaoyun, the head of the family, couldn't resist the pressure, and asked his son Huang Siyuan to take a generous gift to Funing to resolve this grievance with Li Yan as much as possible.
However, at this time, Li Yan and Yin Xiaoya were in Dening County, and it was rare to have a leisurely life, and Huang Siyuan was destined to fall short.
Since he showed the stir-fried crayfish to the audience in the live broadcast room that day, the cravings in the stomachs of fans and foodies were hooked, and they asked Li Yan to send them some crayfish.
There are also crayfish in the paddy fields on the outskirts of Dening County, but it is not easy to catch shrimp in winter, and the point of catching is not enough to stuff the teeth.
There was no way, Li Yan had to go online to buy cooked crayfish, and bought a large number of various flavors.
Seeing Li Yan buy so many crayfish at one time, the family was all surprised.
"I said Xiaoyan, I remember that you don't like spicy food, why do you buy this big box of spicy crayfish?" Zhang Cuilan asked puzzled.
Li Yan smiled: "Of course, I buy shrimp for eating, my taste has changed recently, and I can eat spicy food than before." ”
Li Shang picked up a box and looked at it, frowned and asked, "I heard your third uncle say that this thing is not cheap on the Internet, how much is a catty?"
After calculating in his heart for a while, Li Yan nodded and said, "It's quite expensive, forty or fifty yuan a catty." ”
Hearing this price, Zhang Cuilan was shocked again, patted her son and said: "This is also expensive, isn't it a waste of money to buy so much, there are many of these things in the paddy field, and we were too lazy to catch them before." ”
Although the standard of living has improved now, and the family is not short of money, the couple is still used to the kind of life they used to have, and they try not to spend any money they can, and they basically save the money for rent in case of emergency.
Li Yan smiled bitterly and said: "It's cold now, it's very troublesome to catch crayfish, Xiaoya and I were in Zhangjia Village a few days ago, and we only caught half a pot in an hour or two." ”
Crayfish takes up more space, and it looks like a lot in twenty or so, but it won't take long to solve the problem after eating, so don't buy more, Li Yan is worried that the fans won't be able to enjoy it, so he will ask him for it again.
After all, Zhang Cuilan and his wife are also people who like to eat shrimp, and at dinner that night, they opened two boxes and simply heated them and filled a large pot.
Li Yan was speechless, because the old lady chose spicy flavors, his taste was light, in fact, he couldn't eat spicy, not to mention that it was still spicy, looking at the red pot, smelling the smell and the scalp was numb.
"Eat quickly, can you fill your stomach just by looking at it? Didn't you say that you like spicy food, and if it's cold, it's not enough to taste. Zhang Cuilan casually urged.
The corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched, and he stubbornly put a crayfish into the bowl, and secretly sighed in his heart, he really did his own sin, he lied, and he had to go on with all his might.
This kind of packaged crayfish is soaked in the soup for a long time, very flavorful, Li Yan peeled the shrimp shell clean, the shrimp also has a spicy taste, as soon as you put it in your mouth, you only feel a burst of fire straight to your head.
Li Yan swallowed it three times and divided five by two, his forehead was so spicy that cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of soup to slow down.
"Well, this shrimp is a little more expensive, and it tastes pretty good. Zhang Cuilan nodded in admiration.
Li Yan also forced out a smile and echoed: "Yes, I also think it's very good, my mother can eat more if she likes it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yin Xiaoya put a freshly peeled shrimp into Li Yan's bowl and specially dipped it in the soup.
In front of her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, of course, she, the prospective daughter-in-law, must behave virtuously, helping her husband peel shrimp shells is not a big deal, but it is easy to win the favor of the elderly.
Sure enough, seeing Yin Xiaoya put the peeled shrimp in her son's bowl, the smile on Zhang Cuilan's face was even more serious, and she was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
The old lady was satisfied, Li Yan's face was about to turn green, the corners of her eyes jumped fiercely, and her heart was full of slander.
You just peel the shrimp shell, why do you still dip it in the soup, you don't need to care so much about labor and management.
Li Yan was about to say thank you, but when he turned his head, Yin Xiaoya peeled the second one and prepared to put it in his bowl.
"Don't, don't, you can eat it yourself, I haven't eaten this one yet. He hurriedly waved his hand and refused, if he ate a few more, he was afraid that he would have to take it in.
Zhang Cuilan also persuaded: "Xiao Ya don't care about him, such a big person has hands and feet, he can peel the shrimp himself if he wants to eat it, and he can't be too used to Xiaoyan." ”
After eating a meal with difficulty, Li Yan usually eats two bowls of rice, but today he only ate one bowl, because most of the bowls of soup went into his stomach, and he barely slowed down the spicy feeling.
After all, he is not married yet, Li Yan and Yin Xiaoya sleep in separate rooms, and when their parents fall asleep at night, he enters the live broadcast room and teleports most of the crayfish to the underworld.
Closing the doors and windows, Li Yan said in a low voice: "Old Tie, the spicy crayfish you have been waiting for has arrived." ”
Pu Songling: "The old man just tried one, the taste is really strong, and the fly in the ointment is that the shrimp meat is a little smaller." ”
Li Yan smiled and said: "This crayfish weighs six or seven dollars, and the shrimp head accounts for more than half, and the shrimp tail is naturally not big." ”
The richest man Li Quan: "Thank you Xiaoshuai anchor for bringing me a delicious supper, plus a bottle of beer, it's a perfect match!"
Judge Cui: "It's spicy, this official hasn't eaten such a strong food for a long time, a few days ago, Lord Qin Guangwang instructed that he should prepare one or two delicacies and send them to Heaven to participate in the food festival held by the God of Food, and this official is still very troubled by this, and now there is a way." ”
"Heavenly Court also holds a food festival? It's really keeping pace with the times!" Li Yan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to taste Heavenly Court's food.
Black impermanence: "Who said no, the food festival was only held a few years ago, and it was welcomed by many immortals, and it was held once a year, and even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother would participate." ”
Heavenly Master Zhong Kui: "It's a pity that we have a humble status and are not qualified to participate in the food festival. ”
Noticing that the audience was sighing and sighing, Li Yan comforted: "Actually, it's nothing, Heavenly Court can hold a food festival, but the Difu can't still hold its own food festival, and many people have never tasted the food in the world." ”
Judge Cui: "Hey, what the Xiaoshuai anchor said is reasonable, we have no hope of participating in the food festival of the God Realm, there is no need to envy them, we can do it ourselves, maybe we can attract the big people of the God Realm to participate!"
The more the audience talked, the more excited Li Yan became, because the food festival held in the underworld meant that he also had the opportunity to taste the food, and the underworld was rich in products, and there must be food he hadn't eaten.
After chatting with fans for more than half an hour, Li Yan withdrew from the live broadcast room and ordered another batch of crayfish on the Internet before falling asleep.
At lunch the next day, Zhang Cuilan saw that the box containing crayfish was more than half empty, and hurriedly asked, "I only ate two boxes yesterday, why are there so many shrimps?"
Li Yan had already thought of his words, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I couldn't sleep last night, and my stomach was a little hungry, so I ate a few boxes of pads to pad my stomach, and the more I ate, the more delicious I felt, so I ate most of the boxes." ”
There are a lot of lobsters, and there is not much meat left after removing the shrimp head and shell, and any person can eat several catties.
Zhang Cuilan didn't suspect anything, and advised: "Eat so much in one go, be careful not to spoil your stomach." ”
After lunch, Yin Xiaoya watched TV with her future mother-in-law, and Li Yan followed his father to the winery, and after coming back for such a long time, this was the first time he went to the winery to inspect.
When I first bought this distillery, many of the equipment looked dilapidated, but now the factory is profitable, and it has long been replaced with shotguns, and it looks like a new atmosphere.
I walked around the office area of the winery, the first few departments were good, the employees worked diligently to work, and I didn't see any deserters.
Walking to the door of the office of the logistics department, through the window, I saw two middle-aged men with big bellies drinking tea and chatting leisurely, and there were smoking cigarette butts in the ashtray, Li Yan's brows instantly furrowed, and his good mood was suddenly destroyed.
"Dad, what are these two people, I don't seem to have seen them before. Li Yan asked in a low voice.
Many of the employees invited by Rock Liquor are distant relatives and close neighbors, and a large part of the management Li Yan knows that the two middle-aged people are very angry, but they dare to drink tea and chat unscrupulously during working hours, Li Yan is very curious about their identities.
Sighing, Li Shang said helplessly: "The one on the left is the brother-in-law of Deputy County Magistrate Cao, and the one on the right is the nephew of Mayor Liu of Qixing Town. ”
Li Yan suddenly realized, to put it bluntly, he is an empty salary, and people have backers, no wonder he dares to be so presumptuous.
"How often do these two people do this?" asked Li Yan.
Li Shang bowed slightly: "Almost, basically don't do any work, I don't expect them to contribute, it's good if they don't add to the chaos." ”
Even Li Yan, a family member of the Demon Capital, dared to break his wrists, and how could he be afraid of Deputy County Magistrate Cao, and said decisively: "Since this is the case, expel directly, there is no need for such a person to stay in the winery." ”
Li Shang was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and asked, "Directly expel you?" Is this appropriate, they all have a background. ”
"If there is anything inappropriate, you have to work hard when you enter the company, and it is the same if you have a background. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You can't keep such a black sheep, otherwise after a long time, it is likely to bring the entire department to ruin." ”
Li Shang was still worried, and said with sorrow: "It's okay for Mayor Liu to say there, if Deputy County Magistrate Cao investigates it......"
Li Yan smiled faintly: "What do we have to be afraid of, Dad, don't forget, our Rock Liquor Industry is now a big taxpayer in Dening County, not to mention the deputy county magistrate Cao, even the number one in the county, you have to be careful to entertain us, give the surname Cao a hundred guts, he doesn't dare to make a trip, otherwise we will transfer the factory to other places, the county's taxes will fall, who will bear the responsibility?"
Listening to his son's analysis, Li Shang felt that this was very reasonable, the economy of Dening County was already very ordinary, and it was not easy to produce a large taxpayer like Rock Liquor, and he had to wait like his ancestors.
