Everyone nodded to understand, after all, it is in other people's land, and peace and security are the most important. Ah Feng saw that the atmosphere became dull, and said with a smile: "It's absolutely okay to follow me, in the past, our Miao Village was a thatched house with backward culture, but now the policy is good, and everyone is rich." ”

"Living in a building, having access to the Internet, and having all kinds of entertainment is no worse than in the city. Ah Feng said with some pride: "On the contrary, there are many Li people who live in the mountains, and many of them live in houses with grass and wood structures. ”

"Compared to our industrious Miao people, the Li people are lazier, and most of the subsidies given by the government are used by them to drink wine and eat meat, so under the same policy, we are much richer than them. ”

"But after all, they are the people of the mountains, and their ancestors have known more about the deep mountains and old forests for generations, and they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, so the really good agarwood and huanghuali still have to go to them to buy, which is also a matter of no way. ”

Chatting while driving, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, but the scenery between the mountains is indeed very beautiful, where the eye catches, the evergreen mountains are full of green, the endemic plants of Qiongzhou are scattered in the valley, and the tall coconut trees are interspersed among them, showing the picture of the scenery of the southern country.

After more than three hours of bumps, I finally came to the Miao Village on the mountainside, and found that it was really prosperous, full of small buildings, many families and cars, no worse than the county seat.

The car was parked in front of a three-story building, and there were two cars parked at the door.

"Come, work hard all the way, eat some star fruit on the mountain, it's very sweet!" Ah Feng's wife came out to greet the guests, brought a lot of wild star fruit, washed it with mountain spring water, sweet and delicious, and feasted.

After eating star fruit, Johnson accidentally saw several sacks stacked in the corner of the living room, scattered with large and small woods, and asked, "Is it Huanghuali inside?"

Ah Feng took it back, opened it and said, "I received some materials from the Li people a few days ago, can you take a look?"

Johnson had already smelled the fragrance of Huanghuali, and after reading it, he nodded and said: "There is Bawangling, and there are eight materials, all of which are avocados, sinking water, and oily good." ”

"Have eyesight!" Ah Feng gave a thumbs up, all of them were freshly harvested raw materials, many of which were too late to clean up, there was mud on them, and the jargon was called dark material.

Johnson picked up a branch material, only seven or eight centimeters in diameter, and said with a smile: "This batch of materials is the best, Bawangling big tiger skin, golden bottom, clear patterns, and the car is very domineering, at least 10,000." ”

Ah Feng said with a smile: "In the early years, the country was not listed as a rare species, and the mountain people often went into the mountains to cut down trees and pull them back to make beams and tools. The sea yellow is mainly useful in the middle of the tree, hard and fragrant, and the white skin on the outside is very soft and easy to rot. ”

"The mountain people first cut down the tree, and then put it in the mountain for a few months, the white bark will be corroded by insects, and only the most essential tree heart will remain, and then they can move it back. ”

"More than ten years ago, Christie's auctioned a Qing Dynasty Haihuang case, 2 meters long, 1 meter wide, rare single board material, and finally auctioned more than 20 million yuan. At that time, this kind of material was still there, and it is definitely not seen now. ”

Ling Na nodded and said, "The big case was bought by the people of Hong Kong Island, and it is Wu Jiaen, the owner of Jiamutang who is known as the Queen of Huanghuali. In the early years, he made money in business, devoted himself to the collection of Huanghuali, and Wang Shixiang was very close, bought a lot of authentic Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture from the old man, and later operated on Hong Kong Island, which was very famous, and was a top expert in the Huanghuali circle. ”

"The Ming Dynasty has a lot of materials and exquisite craftsmanship, which is the peak period of furniture. In the Qing Dynasty, Huanghuali was already very rare, and even the emperor was reluctant to use it, so he could only find imported red sandalwood instead. A large number of Ming and Qing dynasty furniture was shipped abroad, and in recent years, it has returned to China, and the price has increased hundreds of times. ”

Ling Na is familiar with the auction circle, and is naturally very familiar with top collectors, in fact, the Chang'an Club also buys Huanghuali, that is, the true fragrance in the incense material, Chen Lihua is obsessed with collecting wood, and Huanghuali is naturally the focus.

Ah Feng knew that Ling Na had a high vision, and if the year was not enough, she would definitely not be able to look at it, and this batch of materials was ready to be turned into a bracelet and then shot, and now the literary game is very popular, and a string is a few thousand at will, and it is very profitable.

"Is the mother-in-law's meal ready?" Ah Feng shouted loudly, he was already hungry after a bumpy journey, and the distinguished guests naturally wanted good wine and good food to entertain them. Turned around and smiled: "My mother-in-law is not good at others, but the craftsmanship is passable, there is no delicious restaurant in the village, it is not as comfortable as eating at home, everyone is not impatient, how about tasting the local characteristics of Miao Village later?"

Ah Feng's wife quickly brought a large pot, steaming, placed it in the middle of the table, slowly opened the lid, and a pot full of gurgling and bubbling fish offal was served on the table.

The bright yellow caviar, the milky white fish maw, and the dark gray cod liver sausage, decorated with fiery red dried chilies, black fungus, fresh green garlic leaves, and coriander, are colorful and tempting.

"This is the best fish treasure hot pot. Ah Feng introduced: "Are you hungry, eat fish first, the more the pot is cooked, the more flavorful it becomes, and then you will serve other dishes, and finally with a bowl of rice, the taste is ......."

Everyone was welcome, picked up chopsticks and began to eat, Johnson first picked up a piece of fish roe, full and firm, put the whole piece into the mouth and chewed, a little grinding teeth but very strong.

Ling Na took a piece of fish maw and bit into her mouth, and when she didn't pay attention to it, she actually splashed out of the bubble with a hot tongue of soup, which was numb and spicy, which was addictive.

Usually the goddess Lengyan is really hungry, so she picked up a piece of fish intestines, and her tongue was gently wrapped and chewed, which was soft and chewy.

Ah Feng saw that everyone was eating happily, and said with a smile: "Our fish maw here is a treasure, usually in the vegetable market, when the mountain people buy fish and ask the fishmongers to clean up, they generally discard the offal in the belly of the fish." In fact, these fish offal are washed and made into tricks, although they are not very good on the table, but they can definitely please the tongue. ”

SC Johnson picked up a piece of meat and said, "The real fish offal should also include the lower fin of the fish commonly known as fish paddling and the fat and chewy shark back fins. If you encounter the back fin or tail fin of a big fish of ten catties, cut it off and marinate it with fresh fish sauce and garlic sauce, fry it in an oil pan, sprinkle it with a little salt and pepper or cumin powder, and it is an unforgettable appetizer. ”

"I once ate a fish lip, all of which were cut copper coin-sized pieces of live meat under the mouth of the fish, tender and smooth, plump but not greasy throat, absolutely delicious in the world. ”

"Connoisseur!" Ah Feng said excitedly: "The biggest feature of this fish offal hot pot is that the more you cook, the more fragrant it becomes, the more you eat, the more you buy it, the more you buy it, the more you have it, as if your body and mind are immersed in the fresh fragrance of a layer of fish offal red soup." ”

A large pot of fish offal was quickly wiped out, but the stomach was even hungrier, and the gluttonous insects were completely hooked, Ah Feng hurriedly urged his wife to serve the food.

"This is our local specialty, stone chicken!" Ah Feng pointed to a large plate of pale yellow meat and said, "The stone chicken here is not a real chicken, but a frog!"

Looking at everyone's curious expressions, he said a little proudly: "The shape of the stone chicken is similar to that of ordinary frogs, wet and black, extremely fat, rough skin, and a bit like a toad, and there are thorny warts on the chest and back, and the big one weighs a pound." ”

"This thing is specially accompanied by poisonous snakes, and likes to live in streams and stone streams, hide in grottoes during the day, and forage for food at night. May, June, July and three months are good opportunities to capture. At this time, we would light a pine torch or a flashlight, go up the stream to catch the stone chicken, and raise it in the water tank for sale or keep it for guests. ”

"There are raw stir-fry and hot pot, after being killed alive, remove the internal organs, head and toes, cut into pieces and put soy sauce in the oil pan to braise the soy sauce. Simmer the soup with shiitake mushrooms, which taste better without peeling. A great tonic, eat stone chicken in summer, and there will be no prickly heat on the body and no sores. ”

"Frog?" Ling Na hesitated a little, not daring to put off her chopsticks, and Johnson joked: "Speaking of this stone chicken, it reminds me of an extinct earth duck, the name of the countryman, which is also a kind of frog, with a very hidden earth-gray body, between a frog and a toad. ”

The slang term describes that kind of stubby, fat and stupid boy, in the field, often dig some large dung cellars to accumulate fertilizer, and gradually some dung cellars are discarded or used less, and they become water beds overgrown with grass and various insects along the pits. Living in the water Taizi all his life, self-sufficient and high, he is a real frog at the bottom of Tai. ”

"Very alert, legend has it that he can escape in the soil, see the artemisia grass moving, the water swings out a few circles, there are nose tips and eyes showing the water surface along the edge of the pit, quietly approaching, making the net or fork, lightning like a hand to catch it. Usually there is a couple of husbands and wives living in a water tower, and if you catch this one, you can find the other. ”

Saying that, he picked up a piece of stone chicken and said: "Two Tu Dunzi are burned in a big bowl, and the countrymen have psychological barriers to eating frogs, but they will never let go of this delicacy." ”

"Peel off the skin first, peel out a plump and white body, chop the pieces, put them into the kind of sand that is the size of a rice tube, put it on the water and salt, and then bury it in the ashes of the stove, take it out overnight, the meat is crispy and the soup is amber, and a layer of oil flowers is floated on it, take a sip, click your mouth, it can really be fresh in the eyes of the heart!"
