Li Junge gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Liu is really a great expert in food! Our Lijiagou flavor dishes have their own characteristics, mainly river fresh and mountain treasures, my lobby brother also opened a restaurant in Jiachuan County, mainly engaged in all kinds of Lijiagou dishes, all of which are township flavors, my farmhouse has also opened, and I dare not boast about the taste or something, but the ingredients are absolutely authentic, and I will ask Brother Liu to taste it when the time comes." ”

Yan Fang said: "Yes, the farmhouse mainly relies on authentic ingredients to win, this Hongshui River is the only river basin in the whole of China that has not been polluted by water, there are countless wineries along the river, your ingredients must be authentic ingredients." ”

Li Junge said: "You came at the right time this time, tomorrow the village will open a nine-bucket bowl dam banquet, which is also our characteristic here, I will definitely not be busy tonight, only trouble the girl to accompany you well, stay in the farmhouse at night, now is the time for the mushrooms to go down the mountain, the babies are scavenging in the mountains every day to sell to me, and there are a lot of goods, when the time comes, let Yulian sister-in-law get you a table of the traditional 'mushroom feast' here, her craftsmanship is also good." ”

Several people are senior foodies and applauded in unison.

After chatting, I went to the old man Si, the old man was accompanied by Si Xingzhun, and introduced him to the style of Wuxi River, but he was not lonely, listening to his grandson growing up here, the old man Si was secretly happy in his heart, and he couldn't stop nodding.

First go down to the Li family's relatives at the small wharf, these people have direct relatives in the village, and they will live at the relatives' house tonight, but they don't have to go to the farmhouse.

After that, Wuxi No. 1 continued to move forward, stopping at the river beach below Jiuchangju.

For a long time, Ai Yulian took Li Yunqiu to guard, and Li Dongsheng and Liu Sanwa all went to the ancestral hall to help.

Seeing a group of people coming, the two came out to greet them.

Let everyone choose their own room, Li Junge drove a pickup truck, and took Old Man Si, Si Xingzhun, Alice and Shirly to the ancestral hall.

The guard and the health doctor still wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the old man Si and said: "I'm going to see my old superior, what's the matter with you following? Stay for me, don't worry about lunch, there's a baby here, can't be hungry!"

When I came to the ancestral hall, it was a little different. The stone gatehouse is red and colorful, and there are many canvas sheds outside, and under each shed is a round table, that is, the color is a little different, some are painted, some are logs, some are new and some are old, it looks bells and whistles.

Liu Sangao was shouting five and six commands there, and when he saw a group of people coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Li Junge saw that the old man Si and the two girls were nervous and excited, and wanted to ease the atmosphere first, so he didn't enter the ancestral hall first, pulled Liu Sangao out a cigarette, and said: "Uncle Liu, look at the bells and whistles on this table, this is going to be on the news, and there are many big people coming, so I have to make a little more trouble!"

Liu Sangao said: "Ouch, really, I think the villagers in this township don't care about this, it's okay, I'll let the apprentice spread the tablecloth later, the water is red, festive and neat." ”

Li Junge said: "Okay, that effect must be good!" After speaking, he led the four of them into the ancestral hall.

Li Junge pointed to the word "rain" on it and said to Alice and Shirly: "Look, your character school is here. ”

Then he pointed up and said: "Mine is here, a generation higher than you, and your father Li Junlou is the same generation, and then up is the word 'Si', your grandfather is called Li Siyuan, and then up is the word 'Liang', your ancestors are called Li Liangchu, and the names of this family are all arranged like this." ”

The two international friends felt very novel, and shouted "Goose Sister Ziying" and "Pea Tofu".

A group of babies didn't have the heart to go to class today, school was about to start, and the homework had already been done, so the fourth grandfather simply chatted with them there, casually talking about allusions.

Hearing a movement at the door, the fourth grandfather led the babies out.

As soon as they saw the fourth grandfather, Alice and Shirly immediately threw Li Junge aside, and threw themselves into the arms of the old man.

A group of babies watched strangely from the side.

"These two sisters are really tall. ”

"Well, if only I could grow that tall in the future. ”

"That's more to eat, my mom said to eat more to grow taller. ”

"That's not necessarily, our class eats a lot, but he's still a short dumpty. ”

"Their noses are so strong, when I grow up, will they be so beautiful?"

"Well, luckily my hair and eyes are black, and I'm starting to worry about two yellow-haired and green-eyed ......."

"It's not all human, what does it matter if you have yellow hair and green eyes?"

"With yellow hair and green eyes, my cousin can't scream......"

……

The fourth grandfather was so happy that he couldn't see his eyebrows, "Oh, the two girls are so beautiful, these are all big girls, okay, don't make trouble, there are still guests here." This is ......"

Old Man Si stepped forward excitedly, snapped upright, performed a military salute, and roared hoarsely: "Si Qinghu, a soldier of the Guard Company of the Ninety-seventh Regiment of the 33rd Division of the Eleventh Army, salute the political commissar of the regiment!"

The fourth grandfather also became excited: "Are you a little tiger? haha! You are a naughty little tiger who doesn't like to study!"

Old man Si burst into tears: "Political commissar, it's me, it's the little tiger who didn't like to study and wasted your steamed buns!"

After speaking, he hugged the fourth grandfather and cried so much: "Old political commissar, I have missed you so much all these years, I miss you so much, I have told God that if I can see you again, even if I see Marx immediately, I can close my eyes! God treats me well, treats me badly!"

Si Xingzhun hurriedly stepped forward with Li Junge to convince him, and the fourth grandfather also said: "Okay, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, and the soldier doesn't shed tears when he bleeds, you came with Xiao Zhun, you are ......"

There were still two lines of tears in the corners of the old man's eyes, but he laughed out loud: "Old political commissar, Xiao Zhun is my own grandson, you have educated two generations of my family! What is fate, this is fate, this is fate!"

The fourth grandfather was also very happy: "Yo! This is really a coincidence, Xiaozhun This child is smart, perceptive, thoughtful, has strong self-esteem, and is a good child." Such a child should understand him more deeply, praise him more, encourage him more, he will make some impressive results, he has done a lot of things in the past few months in Lijiagou. ”

Old Man Si sighed and said: "It's still your old way right, I think he has changed a lot in the past few months, this child has not given his parents a headache at home." ”

Li Junge and Si Xingzhun rolled their eyes in unison, one thought: "Is he that good?" and the other thought: "Am I that bad?"

Without mentioning a few people chatting, Li Junge went out to inspect the banquet arrangement, and prepared lunch for a few people by the way.

First go to the edge of the ancestral hall, there has been a stove here, there are many cauldrons, and there is a pile of earthy yellow coarse porcelain bowls next to it, this bowl is not ordinarily big, almost equal to a small basin, this is the main body of this banquet "bucket bowl".

In the old days, the volume unit of grain was divided into stone, bucket, liter, and combination, and the decimal system was adopted.

But the measuring instrument only bucket and liter, bucket than liter, in ancient times a bucket is equal to ten liters, so the bucket has become a synonym for big, so there is a "bucket big word can not recognize a basket" said.

The old bowls, the largest of which were called pinbowls, were generally used to serve dishes with soup.

The second is the bucket bowl, which is used on the feast, which means that the dish is packed more. A large bowl of food is not stingy.

Then down is the buckle bowl, and these three bowls are all big bowls.

Therefore, the "Nine Bucket Bowls" are also known as the Nine Bowls.

Of course, "Nine Bucket Bowls" does not mean that the banquet only has nine dishes, and it is also interspersed with other cold stir-fried dishes.

Liu Sangao brought the menu and said to Li Junge: "Piwa, let's take a look at the dishes." ”

Li Junge's results were very good.

Dry dishes include:

A plate of miscellaneous sugar (with a box of cigarettes and a pack of paper towels), a plate of dried longan, a plate of melon seeds, a plate of peanuts, a plate of strange flavored beans, a plate of longevity peaches, a plate of sugar and oil fruits, a plate of crispy pork ribs, a plate of sesame dried meat, and a plate of red balls.

This is not only used before the banquet, but also wrapped into miscellaneous bags with some cold vegetables and dried vegetables after the banquet, and taken home by the guests, similar to the souvenirs of the city banquet, but it is much more generous.

This is followed by cold dishes:

A plate of braised beef, a plate of braised pig ears and pig tail platter, a plate of cold chicken, a plate of cold duck, a plate of cold crucian carp, a plate of farmhouse sausages, and a plate of preserved pork heart waist tongue.

Then it's the main dish, and the bowls and bowls are all in it:

Inlaid bowl and bowl, steamed soft-shelled turtle egg soup pot, button chicken bucket bowl, garlic belly plate plate, buckle duck bucket bowl, fat intestine shou noodle per person a small bowl, three fresh soup bowl, braised eel bowl, crispy carp, elbow one, kelp stewed pig's trotter bowl, sweet roasted white plate, wine rice plate, white fungus soup bowl, pork ribs plate, salted roasted white plate.

And that's not all, there are also tail dishes: stir-fried pork liver with shallots, stir-fried shredded pork with celery, lettuce meat slices, garlic sprouts back to the pot meat, a plate of bear's paw tofu, a bowl of vegetable soup with blood and prosperity, a plate of cold salad with folded ear roots, a plate of red tofu and a plate of kimchi.

Li Junge looked at it and said, "This chicken and duck are 'vegetables', isn't it?"

"Rice dishes" are complete chicken and duck into the dish, and a bowl of dishes is whole chicken and whole duck, which is called "綑"

Liu Sangao said: "Your uncle said, let everyone eat well, but don't waste it, this time there is no silk, all of them are small-footed black-bone chickens and local hemp ducks collected by farmers in the township." I discussed with Wang Heizi, after slaughtering and cleaning tonight, the whole one should be boiled until it is eight mature, taken out and cooled, cut into finger-thick strips, and placed neatly in the buckle bowl, and the skin sticks to the bottom of the bowl. Put the bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and yellow flowers on the chicken, and the sour radish on the duck, mix it with broth, and steam it in a steamer until it is cooked. When serving, turn the buckle bowl into the bucket bowl, mix enough to adjust the flavor of the broth, and sprinkle chopped green onions on the table. Do you want it?"

This is also the characteristic of the nine bucket bowls, because there are many guests, it must be too late to stir-fry, so they are all steamed dishes prepared in advance, as the main dish on the table, in addition to a few high-fire stir-fried dishes, a table is done.

Lao Zhou drooled while writing this, especially the inlaid bowl! But I haven't eaten it for many years, and now I occasionally see the signboard of the nine-bucket bowl in the city, the taste... Don't dare to try... Add another chapter tomorrow... They said that the average was five hundred, and that it should be celebrated... Lao Zhou is a newcomer, and I don't know if they are tricking me... Uh, keep asking for subscriptions, asking for recommendations, begging... All sorts of what!
