Chapter 30: Quinber's Mango
In the evening, the two of them returned to Lin Musen's home in Zuozhen.
Lin Musen's home, unlike Yingzhi's suite, Dong Wu can have a separate room to rest.
Most of the houses in the countryside are detached, but due to building regulations, most of them are less than three floors, the height does not exceed 10.5 meters, and the maximum floor area cannot exceed 330 square meters.
To build a big house, you have to have money.
Obviously, Lin Musen's parents were not rich people, so they barely built a two-story building, more than 150 square meters, and spent almost 2 million yuan to spend their savings and owe some debts.
Thankfully, these debts were paid off before they died.
Dong Wu first went over to see the remains of the earthquake.
The collapsed houses have not yet been cleaned up.
As for buildings such as the Earthquake Museum, many of them were left at the time of the 921 earthquake. Compared to that earthquake, this earthquake is a gadget.
"It's horrible, I probably wouldn't have been able to run away from the house at that time. Dong Wu said.
The most terrible thing about earthquakes is that they are located on the fault line, and probably no one will dare to build a house on it in the future, unless they are uninformed.
Thinking of the earthquake, Lin Musen was also a little afraid.
However, in this earthquake, Lin Musen gained more than he lost.
He knocked his head and left a few drops of blood, but he got the aura pot and changed his life.
Lin Musen found that the place where he had absorbed, it had been a week, and the aura had not yet recovered, and he was a little anxious in his heart.
In a short period of time, the aura of the same place cannot be absorbed repeatedly, otherwise it will cause the vegetation of a place to die.
It is estimated that the Yushan Provincial Highway that I walked last time can't go.
It is not yet known how long it will take to recover.
At the end of the eating time, Dong Wu said, "I'll go to the grocery store to buy some beer, you go back and get some side dishes with wine, and we'll talk while eating." ”
"You're a pig! What time is it? Eat now, it's easier to get hungry in the morning. ”
"Just eat when you're hungry!"
"You're really not afraid of fat?"
"It's okay, I don't usually eat like this, your food here is delicious, you can't miss it. ”
For Dong Wu, Lin Musen raised his hands in surrender, and had no choice but to say:
"Forget it, if you want to buy beer, you can buy some peanuts by the way! By the way, buy a few preserved eggs and come back. ”
"Looks like you've got an idea. Don't worry, I'll pay for beer, peanuts and preserved eggs this time. ”
"You have a conscience. ”
When he got home, Lin Musen went into the kitchen to see what else was in the refrigerator.
In the refrigerator, there are only dishes with a relatively long shelf life.
In the refrigerator he finds edamame, and in the cardboard box he finds potatoes (potatoes). The big man talks about peanuts, which are potatoes.
In order to make it easy to identify, it is customary to call this popular dish in the West, called potato.
Now that you find edamame and potatoes, it's easy to decide what to do with the snacks.
As for the meat dishes, the refrigerator does not have them, so they can only give up.
Cut a small hole in the tip of the pod, put the edamame clip into the brine, add spices such as peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, cumin, etc., and then cook without a lid.
Then the potatoes are processed.
Potatoes are a versatile ingredient that can be stir-fried, steamed, roasted or boiled, making them suitable for both eating and drinking.
For the following snacks, let's make shredded potatoes!
Peel the skin, finely cut into matchsticks, and wash three times in cold water to remove the powder.
Remove the boiled edamame from the heat. Put a frying pan on the shelf, put the water, and when it is boiling, blanch the shredded potatoes in the boiling water. Seeing that the straight and straight shredded potatoes are soft, take them out and put them into ice water immediately to maintain the crisp and tender texture.
Cut some carrots, match the color with shredded green peppers, add seasonings, add chives and chili pepper grains, and then burn a spoonful of hot pepper oil and pour it on top.
There is a snort, and the aroma is overflowing.
"I'm back, it's so fragrant!"
Dong Wu's figure immediately appeared in the kitchen, and when he saw the two small dishes on the table, he immediately took out his chopsticks, quickly took a bite of each, and said:
"The edamame is crispy and tender, and the shredded potatoes are loose and crispy, full of flavor. Don't lose the stall. ”
Lin Musen stopped Dong Wu's chopsticks and asked:
"Have you bought the preserved eggs, can you bring them to me. I'll eat these dishes and beer with me, and you're not allowed to do it alone. ”
"Stingy. ”
"It's not me who eats, it's that you're too greedy. ”
"Okay! There's a stone table and a stone chair in front, and I'll head to the front. ”
"Okay. ”
Dong Wu bought six preserved eggs, there was no need to eat so much at night, simply slice three preserved eggs and put them on the plate, chop the green and red peppers, add salt, oyster sauce, soy sauce, ointment, and add some chili oil, just pick up the pot and spread the ingredients inside on the preserved eggs.
And he took it out.
There is no difference between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce in Oyuan Island, but there are other classifications.
Dong Wu had already found a plate, poured the peanuts into it, and was sitting at the table at this time, eating without a bite.
"You didn't forbid me to eat peanuts. ”
"You pot-bellied man, I really don't understand, how can you eat so much. ”
Lin Musen turned on the electric light in front of the courtyard, sat on the stone chair, picked up beer and chopsticks, and prepared to start without greeting Dong Wu.
In order to fight for food, the two of them had to start a cannon with their mouths.
"Mu Sen, are you at home?"
The door opened, and an old man's head popped in.
"Kun Bo, why do you have time to come? This is my classmate Dong Wu, who came to play, and I will drink some wine with him. ”
Lin Musen saw that he was still an acquaintance, the one who gave him the Yujing Farmers' Association's delicious mango registration form, Jiang Bingkun.
"Drink, what does the beer he bought taste like, I have some of my own wine at home, etc., I'll go back and get it, and I'll come and drink it with you when the time comes." ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
"Kunbo, don't ......," Lin Musen said weakly.
It's a pity that only Dong Wu and the air can hear his words.
"People have run away and are very actionable. I like it. I don't know what kind of wine he makes at home. ”
"It's either snake wine or medicine bars, and sometimes some snakes are caught nearby, and the older generation especially likes to use them to make wine. ”
"It seems that a very enthusiastic person, what does it have to do with you?"
"I met him by the earthquake, and he thought my mangoes were delicious, so he gave me a registration form for the competition. ”
"That's also a warm-hearted person, and he also grows mangoes? I wonder what his mangoes taste?"
"I don't know, but it should have something to do with growing mangoes, otherwise he wouldn't pay attention to the news about this, so I'll go first and get the dishes and chopsticks." ”
Jiang Bingkun quickly returned to Lin Musen's house.
What he placed on the table were three bottles of mango wine.
Lin Musen smiled bitterly, not knowing how the degree was. If the alcohol is too high, you can't drink too much.
"It's a low-alcohol sake. ”
"How did you come up with the idea of making mango into wine?"
"On a whim, I didn't do much, and I usually made some other wine. Tobacco and alcohol have been sold for so many years, and if you want to drink good wine, you can only brew it yourself, and you can't buy it outside. Good foreign wine is too expensive. “
"Cumber also grows mangoes?"
"My mangoes are all for export, so I didn't participate in the competition. I didn't make much mango wine, it was all made of some mangoes with damaged appearance, and it was always difficult to take those mangoes out and sell them again. Contracts also do not allow it. ”
Jiang Bingkun knew that Lin Musen was from a family from other provinces. Although I can also listen to the big guy, I don't speak the big guy so fluently, so I talk to him in Chinese.
Speaking of which, Lin Musen still doesn't know what kind of ancestors Dong Wu has, he usually speaks Chinese, and he doesn't look like an aborigine.
People from other provinces refer to people whose ancestors are from provinces other than Fujian and Guangdong.
As for those whose ancestors came from Fujian and Guangdong, they claimed to be from this province.
More than 40 years ago, the people of this province were very hostile to people from other provinces. People from other provinces look down on people from their own provinces.
Even the people of this province are not at peace internally, and the descendants of the Quanzhou people, the descendants of the Zhangzhou people and the Hakka people (both Fujian and Guangdong) are in a hostile state.
Not to mention the indigenous people, who are made up of countless ethnic groups. During the Qing Dynasty, many aborigines still had the custom of hunting heads to increase ancestral spirits, and later during the governance of the island country, it was banned.
The people in this province are not in harmony, and this is also related to the Qing Dynasty magistrates sowing discord and deliberately doing it, because of the relationship between Ming and Zheng, they do not want the population of this island to increase, and think that there are remnants of the anti-Qing and Ming restoration in this place.
Unfortunately, there was a shortage of food and arable land at that time, and no matter how much it was banned, it could not prohibit the footsteps of the great immigration.
"Where do Quinber's mangoes be exported?"
"Island countries, although they offer more conditions, but the price is also real. There is no other place with higher prices than them. ”
"What your family grows is the best mango that the legendary adults can't eat?"
"Yes, the mangoes grown according to the regulations of the island people are delicious, but it is a pity to tell others about these methods, and others refuse to plant them because they are troublesome. “
"Why don't you plant it?"
"A lot of people plant fruit trees because the workforce is getting old, and young people are going out to work. Planting in their way, there is not much one person planting, and it is still hard. Older people simply can't bear it. ”
The proportion of the agricultural population on Dayuan Island is about 3 percent, which is indeed very small, and many people are still pseudo-farmers who have bought farmland to build villas.
Jiang Bingkun poured a sip of mango wine, put shredded potatoes into his mouth before continuing:
"Yes, it's a good thing, it looks like it's the right thing to eat. In fact, the mangoes you grow are much better than the mangoes in my orchard, and the difference is very obvious. I'm really happy to see it. The island country technician is too stinky, I don't look good!"
