After the design of the backyard renovation plan, Zhuang Mengzhou sighed: "In this way, there is a large bamboo forest behind the house." Bamboo is good, bamboo shoots in spring, especially thunder and rain at night, the new bamboo shoots sent the next morning taste the most delicious, the most suitable for making a piece of Sichuan. Have you ever eaten Kataergawa and do you know how to do it?

I heard thunder at night, so I stewed the duck soup first. As soon as the morning dawns, I went to dig up the bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots that had just been sent that day, and when I came back, I quickly peeled them and cut them into slices, blanched them with water a little first, and then went down to the duck soup. Then stir-fry with sauerkraut and meat slices, not the kind of sauerkraut in the Northeast, but the kind of Sichuan sauerkraut and sauerkraut fish, which is used as a topping after getting out of the pot.

Finally, under the duck soup with boiled fresh bamboo shoots, the noodles are ready and mixed with toppings...... Oops, I can't say any more, it's drooling!"

Shanny: "You're so slanderous, my saliva is already dripping. There is a bamboo forest here, and according to the climate here in the lake, every year from late winter to early summer, we have a piece of river to eat!"

Xian Hao hesitated a little and said: "I remember that the Kataerchuan is obviously a Daohang dish, and it uses the stir-fried meat under the broth and pickled vegetables as toppings. How did it turn into duck soup and Sichuan sauerkraut with pickled peppers when I got to Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "I like sour and spicy, duck soup to dry...... In fact, the most exquisite thing about Katagawa is to use the bamboo shoots of the day. There is a thunderstorm at night, and I will do it immediately after digging in the morning, but not every other day, so the taste will be far worse!"

Shang Ni rolled her eyes and said, "There is a bamboo forest in Nanlan Mountain, and there are several kinds of bamboo." It's raining today, so there should be bamboo shoots this season, right?"

Zhu Shan said: "Today is the 22nd day of May in the solar calendar, the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and there are still bamboo shoots in Nanlan Mountain, but there are not as many as in the previous two months." ”

Shi Buquan: "Then let's dig bamboo shoots tomorrow morning and come back to make a piece of Chuan." ”

Shanny: "But where's the duck soup? It's too late to buy duck now, right?"

Shi Buquan turned his head to look at Tan Hanchuan and said, "Old Tan!"

Tan Hanchuan had to nod and said, "Okay, I'll get one later." ”

Xian Hao whispered, "Where are you going?"

Tan Hanchuan: "You came late, you didn't go to Nanlan Mountain Forest Park." There are several lakes in there. The market is closed, but we can still get a duck. I'll go in a moment, it won't take long, and I'm sure I'll be able to stew it in the middle of the night. ”

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Are you really going? Then why don't you get some little wild fish back, fry them in oil, and just go with wine!"

Ye Xing finally couldn't help but say: "Mr. Zhuang, talking and talking, why do you always deviate! Every time the topic is talked about, you don't know where to go...... We're talking about how to cover the gateway of the Little Realm Lake, and what we just discussed was how to enter the Little Realm Lake.

Zhou Mengzhuang glared at him and said, "This is life, this is the fun anytime and anywhere." A certain line is good, if people don't have ideals, what is the difference between them and salted fish? Maybe it's not as good as salted fish, salted fish can also be made with cornmeal tortillas, called a pot. ”

Ye Xing sneered: "Could it be that your ideal is Kata'er Chuan?"

"Ignorance!" Zhou Mengzhuang scolded with a sense of wine, "I said Pian Er Chuan, you only have that bowl of Pian Er Chuan in your eyes? What does it symbolize? It is the pleasure of life, from material to spiritual, people's pursuit and enjoyment. What kind of life are we pursuing, how should we achieve it, and then enjoy it, isn't it today's bowl of Pian Erchuan?

The Tao says that you can travel freely, and the Buddha says that you are at ease, what kind of realm do you think? You can't even accept a bowl of Pierchuan, you can't even understand the realm it represents, what else can you talk about? Even if you are given a fairyland, what can you do......

This topic is a big one, Ye Xing blamed Zhou Mengzhuang for taking the discussion astray, and Zhou Mengzhuang simply pulled it farther and farther, and even pulled it to the clouds. He had drunk a lot of alcohol today, and he was somewhat drunk at the moment, anyway, he had reached the stage of mental excitement.

Ye Xing also drank a lot of wine today, but he was somewhat drunk, and he was also prone to emotion, glaring and arguing: "What we want to open is the small realm lake of the Fangwai Immortal Family's world! Why do you always talk nonsense about other things? If you want to dig under some fresh bamboo shoots, where can't you do it, you have to pull this, then you can just find a bamboo forest, why do you come here?"

Zhuang Mengzhou: "Where can't you do it? Then what can you do! You can enjoy the life in front of you, you turn a blind eye, what can you do when you open Xiaojing Lake?"

Seeing that the two of them were choking, Fan Yang hurriedly said, "Don't talk at the wine table, there's no need to quarrel." Let's arrange the courtyard here today, and when we open the Xiaojing Lake in the future, how much scenery like this will be, everyone can build their favorite manor, and there is also a fairy bait ......"

Zhuang Mengzhou still snorted coldly: "What do you think will happen if you open the Xiaojing Lake? After entering, will you really be able to enjoy the life of the immortals? What do you think the immortal family means, all day long fly camp gougou? It's just a change of place, fly camp dog or fly camp gougou! The courtyard in front of you can't be cleaned up, and a bowl of slices of rivers is hard to bear, and you still want to have a fairyland outside the fangwai?"

Seeing that these two people were choking more and more fiercely, the others also hurriedly opened their mouths to persuade each other, Fan Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Xing, and Zhou Mengzhuang did not continue to say more, and the atmosphere eased up. Ye Xing took a breath and took the lead in apologizing: "I'm sorry!, Mr. Zhuang, I drank a little too much just now, I didn't mean anything else, just to complain." ”

This was the first time that everyone had a dispute after they got together, and it was just an innocuous little quarrel, but it was a bit inexplicable, how could it be said so well that they quarreled? Ding Qi could see clearly from the side, in fact, Ye Xing was out of shape.

People's gaffes are often due to imbalance in their hearts, Ye Xing feels depressed enough today, where he has been drinking. In fact, he has been depressed recently, although no one in this team deliberately rejected him, at least on the surface, no one did so, but Ye Xing himself was not happy, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him, and it seemed redundant to sit here.

This is an indescribable sense of loss, if it is ignored, ignored or even ignored, it seems insignificant, and some people often have a kind of resentment, which will explode after a long time, Ye Xing just used the topic to play. Emotional outbursts are often unexpected in advance, why did he rush to Zhuang Mengzhou, it is estimated that he has long seen Zhuang Mengzhou unpleasantly.

Zhuang Mengzhou has never provoked Ye Xing, but Zhuang Mengzhou's existence invisibly hinders Ye Xing, or hinders his self-feeling.

Zhuang Mengzhou was the last to come, but he had the most aura or the greatest style. The other descendants of the rivers and lakes have all demonstrated the secret art of inheritance, and they are all capable, and no one in Ye Xing dares to underestimate it. But this Zhuang Mengzhou is all pretending to be a ghost, and I haven't seen him reveal any secret methods. Even seeing Xiaojing Lake was said by himself, and it was not clear whether it was true or not!

is such a person, with the name of a shocking predecessor, he looks very draggy, he is the most respected at the wine table, he can talk nonsense at will, but he can always drive the focus of the topic, and always seems to have the final say in everything. Ye Xing, who was full of a sense of loss and felt neglected, of course, looked down on him the most. So the seemingly accidental conflict at the wine table is not without reason.

As for Zhuang Mengzhou, since Ye Xing took the initiative to choke him, he would not get used to it, and he should be trained. If Ye Xing didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, Zhuang Mengzhou wouldn't have anything to do with him at all, because he couldn't do it. Whether Ye Xing is incapable or has a problem, Zhuang Mengzhou will not care.

You can say that this is a kind of tolerance, or it can be said to be a kind of ignorance, not caring also means not caring, which is exactly what Ye Xing can't bear the most.

People's mentality is so subtle, Ye Xing himself probably didn't clearly realize it, but Ding Qi, who was a bystander, saw it very clearly. But Ding Qi couldn't say anything, Zhuang Mengzhou didn't need to persuade him, and Ye Xing didn't know how to persuade him, if he persuaded too much, the clearer he spoke, the worse it became.

Since Ye Xing took the initiative to apologize, a little conflict passed. Shang Ni said again: "Mr. Zhuang, you just said, listen to thunder in the middle of the night on a rainy day, stew the duck soup first, and dig bamboo shoots at dawn, the taste of Pian Erchuan is the most delicious." But there was no thunder today, doesn't it taste a little worse?"

"You're also a foodie!" Zhuang Mengzhou smiled, and then pointed to the Nanlan Mountains in the distance, "Why is there no thunder? You wait, there will be thunder soon!"

Everyone is deaf and clear-sighted, how can they not hear if there is thunder, everyone waited for several minutes, and there was still no movement. Fan Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuang, you are wrong this time! ”

Before the words fell, I saw a flash of lightning in the distant sky, instantly outlining the ridge at night, and after a while, there was a rumbling sound. The thunder was not loud, it should be far away, but the echo was very long, like the sound of ten thousand horses galloping.

Zhu Shanxian was inexplicably startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuang, be cautious, be cautious!"

Xian Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, didn't you talk about materialism just now, why were you scared with a word?"

Zhu Shanxian: "Materialism is seeking truth from facts, not only just now, but now and in the past, I am a materialist. ”

Tan Hanchuan got up and said, "I'm going to catch wild ducks, Senior Brother Zhu, do you have fishing nets here?"

Zhu Shanxian: "What do you want fishing nets for?"

Tan Hanchuan: "Didn't Mr. Zhuang say that he wanted to get some small wild fish, and it was good to fry it and drink it." ”

Zhu Shanxian: "There are no fishing nets. ”

Tan Hanchuan: "Mosquito nets are fine, I'll cut bamboo to make a support." ”

Zhu Shanxian: "There are no mosquito nets either. ”

Shi Buquan couldn't help but interject: "There are screens, let's remove two screens." I'll modify it in a moment. ”

Zhu Shanxian: "It's thundering in the mountains, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

Xian Hao: "The rain will stop in a while." ”

Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Shi Buquan had just removed the two screens and finished refitting, the thunder in the distance had subsided, and the rain had gradually stopped. The breeze blew, the clouds dispersed, and a curved first quarter moon hung obliquely in the sky, and a faint moonlight sprinkled into the courtyard. Ye Xing showed a look of surprise, and said with some flattery: "Senior Sister Xian, do you also know the words of the gods and goddesses?"

Xian Hao shook his head: "In this season, in this place of Jinghu, it is normal for rain and thunder to occur, and it is rare for no thunder, so Mr. Zhuang will say that." It's been raining intermittently for four hours today, but it's always light. The clouds are actually very light, the wind has just started, the rain clouds have begun to dissipate, and thunder is heard, and the rain is almost time to stop. ”

Ye Xing showed a sudden expression: "I see, Senior Sister Xian has observed really carefully, is this what the ancients said about watching the sky at night?"

Ding Qi: "It's not night yet, it's only ten o'clock!"

After the rain stopped, Tan Hanchuan went into the mountain, and after about an hour, he rushed back before twelve o'clock, his clothes and shoes were a little wet mud, but his interest was very high. He caught a wild duck and a small wild fish that was two inches long in a net. Fan Yang asked, "Senior Brother Tan, did you only catch a duck?"

Tan Hanchuan: "There are a lot of wild ducks in the nest by the lake, and I only caught one, which is enough to make a piece of Sichuan." Protecting wildlife and caring for the ecological environment...... Why haven't you left yet?"

Fan Yang: "Wait until you come back and stew the duck soup." ”

Tan Hanchuan smiled: "I know if I have to eat tomorrow?" I said that I will definitely catch it, now I should rest assured, go back to sleep, remember to come early tomorrow." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Shang Ni went into the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, originally everyone said that she didn't need to go, but how could she be persuaded to do such an interesting thing, so Zhu Shanxian, Tan Hanchuan, and Shi Buquan all went with her, leaving only Ding Qi and Xian Hao to take care of the house. When Shang Ni set off, she also said excitedly: "Mr. Zhuang told me before leaving yesterday that it is best to make a piece of purple bamboo shoots with two fingers thick!"

Zhu Shanxian: "I know where it is, just follow me, be careful not to slip on the road." ”

For breakfast on this day, I ate Katagawa. When it was just done, Ye Xing arrived with Fan Yang in the car, and when the steaming noodles were served, Zhuang Mengzhou also entered the door. In the past, the nine of us had gathered together for dinner, but today was the first time we had breakfast.

Maybe it's because of yesterday's episode, or maybe it's because of the different feelings, the taste of this meal is extraordinarily delicious. Even Ye Xing ate two big bowls, sweating profusely, and smacking his lips again and again after eating. Everyone is full of praise, this is a good life, life enjoyment, after eating, everyone who should go to work goes to work.

There is an important meeting in the city today, and Zhu Shanxian must attend. Just after nine o'clock in the morning, Director Zhang of the District Garden Office came with Manager Li of a seedling company. Shan Xian has already said hello, and Tan Hanchuan and Shang Ni are in charge of reception. They measured the three adjacent courtyards, discussed the design plan, and in the afternoon the team began to start construction.

The efficiency of courtyard renovation is extremely high, and the person Zhang personally found by Director Zhang of the District Garden Office came to more than 20 workers from three companies, including two seedling companies and a landscape design and construction company.

Ding Qi was a little worried at first, he didn't know how long the construction period would take, and it was not easy to transplant bamboo and wood to survive, and it would take more time to recover and grow, maybe he would have to wait until next year to meet the requirements. To his surprise, the workers were transplanted with patches of roots, and the backyard was dug up and filled with a layer of nutrient soil, which was directly a lush bamboo forest.

Director Zhang of the Garden Office specially emphasized that not only the planting and work, but also the requirements must be met in one step. Including transplanting flowers and trees, the whole tree was dragged by truck with a large bag of soil under the roots, and the branches and leaves were not cut as much as possible, which was almost perfect. It took only three days to complete the work, and even the gazebo was repaired.

The gazebo is a wooden tile-clad structure, all the components are ready-made, and they can be assembled on site, and the landscape company is responsible for it, and they do it professionally. Some people say that many projects are delayed or the quality is not good, often because the money is not given in time or the budget is too low. That's true, but sometimes it's not just about money.

In the past few years, Jinghu City has been applying for a national health city, and there are a large number of urban greening and landscape renovation projects; if District Mayor Zhu's family can't do their private work well, will these companies still want to get mixed up in Yuling District? Director Zhang of the Garden Office only found a seedling company, and this seedling company found two other companies to do subcontracting. A small project, a big formation.

I didn't talk about the money first, I just did the work, and of course I had to settle it after I finished it. Of course, Manager Li doesn't want money, what is this little job, District Mayor Zhu can just leak a finger on the urban greening project. But Zhu Shanxian insisted on paying, and raised the issue to the height of political consciousness. Manager Li had to quote a price, totaling 150,000 yuan, and then give a discount and collect 100,000 yuan.

100,000 yuan seems to be too little, not to mention anything else, even the two-meter-high laurel tree, I'm afraid it's not cheap! But Zhu Shanxian at least paid, and the account was clearly calculated.

At this time, you can see the benefits of power, there is no need to be corrupt and bribery, and it is convenient to do things on your own territory. Even if the seedling company collects money, it will only charge the lowest cost price, and even if it collects as much as others, the work it does is absolutely different.

But there was a job that was not done by workers, but by Zhu Shanxin and Tan Hanchuan and Shi Buquan himself. They got a lot of sulfur particles the size of thumbs and belly, and buried them along the edge of the courtyard under the roots of the inner and outer courtyard walls, and even under the roots of the walls around the small buildings.

In the past few days, because of the noisy construction, so everyone did not go to the backyard, Wednesday morning to explain the design plan, the afternoon to start construction, Friday dinner has been completed, did not delay for long. On Saturday morning, the agency had delivered the keys to the small building to Dingzi, and the people next door had already moved out.

Ding Qi came to the terrace on the second floor of his small building, looking at the bamboo shadows in the backyard, and the bamboo forest in the courtyard next door exposed the gourd top of the pavilion, as well as the two tall plantains in the corner of the pavilion. After this transformation, the environment was really elegant, and he couldn't help but think about that meal again, as well as what Zhuang Mengzhou said at the wine table.
