322.Sweet Rice (2)
After getting down to business, Ao Muyang took Cheng Deming to visit the old man Ao Zhisheng.
Cheng Deming brought a lot of thank-you gifts, especially for Ao Zhisheng, which included various precious Chinese medicinal materials such as cordyceps, ginseng, and He Shou Wu.
Ao Zhisheng was moved when he saw these gifts: "This is really too expensive, I can't accept it, I can't accept it!"
Cheng Deming said with a smile: "Brother, you saved my life, what is this thing? And these things are not bought by me, they are all collected by me, they are useless in my hands, as the so-called famous knives match famous generals, these medicinal materials have to be in your hands to be effective." ”
Ao Zhisheng shook his head and said, "But they are too precious." ”
"No human life is precious, right?" Cheng Deming said, "I believe that with your medical skills, you will definitely be able to make the best use of your resources and use them to save more patients." ”
This was said beautifully, Ao Muyang said a few words, and Ao Zhisheng finally kept the gift.
In the evening, Ao Muyang naturally invited guests to dinner, he still had wild boar meat at home, and the tenderloin was sauced by him, and the originally hard wild boar meat was rotten by the sauce for a few days, just to make a dish.
He pretended to be a pig's head again, cut two pig's ears, and marinated the pig's tail that he hadn't eaten before and sent it to the table to make snacks.
Of course, vegetables and seafood are indispensable, and the sea melon seeds and snails he pickled before have reached the right time, and each served a plate to serve wine.
The mackerel is also sun-dried, and the pork and fish are a perfect match.
He made a pork stew with fish, and the table was guarded by a stove, and there was an iron pot on the stove, and the pot was made of fat pork, which was slowly stewed with Shao wine, soy sauce and ingredients.
When the fat stew is oily and soft, put the fish in it, and then everyone starts to serve, just continue to wait, and let it continue to stew slowly.
The pork has fat, and as the lard comes out, the oil flowers warm the fish, so that the umami of the fish is in place.
The lard warms the fish, the fish is soaked in the fatty pork, the broth is bubbling with water, and the water vapor is permeated, so that the meat aroma and fish umami are clear.
Lu Zhizi took out the small pickles such as Wan Nianqing, sour and hot and spicy dried radish in the refrigerator, and Ao Muyang went to dry fry some dried fish and peanuts, and a table of hearty fishermen's dishes was complete.
Looking at the boiling fatty fish in the pot and the wine and food on the table, Cheng Deming's eyes turned a little red.
When Ao Muyang saw it, he asked, "Old man, is this a little choking?"
The little old man waved his hand and said, "Don't choke at all, I'm thinking of some days when I was a child." When I was a child, I lived in a bungalow with my father and mother, and in the winter, when it was cold, my father would raise the stove and take two pieces of meat to stew a sauerkraut vermicelli......"
As he spoke, he sighed: "When I look back, this is already half a century ago, fifty years, why do you say that this time is so fast day by day?"
Old man Ao Zhisheng stroked his beard and sighed: "Who said it wasn't? I think about it, alas! I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it, Brother Cheng!"
Lu Zhizi added wine to them, raised his glass and said, "Come, two elders, let's raise a glass together, respect the past together, and respect the memories together." ”
Cheng Deming wiped his eyes and raised his glass: "Okay, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"
Ao Muyang didn't expect that the pot of dishes he stewed evoked the memories of the two old men, and the later meal became a discussion meeting between the two of them.
There is a difference in age between the two of them, Ao Zhisheng is more than ten years older than Cheng Deming, for young people, this is already an era gap.
But when they reach their age, ten years pass in a flash, the gap is not big, the youth of the two overlaps, and the memories also overlap.
"The winter of 69 was cold, and our brigade really froze a lot of livestock and a lot of people that year......"
"Yes, that's right, I was in southern Yunnan and didn't come back, in January of 70, the southern Yunnan earthquake, we educated youth formed a team to carry out rescue, because of this excellent performance, returned to their respective hometowns......"
"71 years were very chaotic, there were a lot of things, and the brigade held meetings all day to study ......"
"It's good to think about the big guys getting together every day at that time, how is it like now......?
The two old gentlemen sighed in various ways, and Ao Muyang was busy with pork stewed fish.
At the last moment of this dish, he added honey to collect the juice, and after a long stew, and with the sticky honey, the oil in the pork completely melted in the dish and soup, sticky and fragrant.
He brought the small pot to the table and said, "Come, let's eat it while it's hot." ”
The pork in this dish is skinned, stewed for so long, the pork skin is already sticky, Ao Muyang took a bite, no need to chew, after the pork entered his mouth, the fat outside was directly melted first.
Mouthful!
Cheng Deming gave a thumbs up: "Mmmm, Xiao Ao, you have a hand, amazing!"
Ao Zhisheng said with a smile: "My student is definitely a talent, the old man has been teaching for most of his life, I don't know how many people I have seen, the girl's family, Teacher Lu is the first, and I am the first student among the young men!"
Cheng Deming said with a smile: "Then the two of you are together, this is a strong combination." ”
Ao Muyang shook his head and said: "In our place, the son of the village party secretary marries the daughter of the village director, this is a strong alliance." ”
This dinner was eaten until midnight, Cheng Deming stayed here in Ao Muyang, originally he booked a room for Yujiale, but he drank high later, and he really drank high, so he simply stayed directly.
In the morning, when the morning sun rose, Cheng Deming woke up and went to wash.
Ao Muyang smiled: "Old man, get up early enough." ”
Cheng Deming stretched his waist in the direction of the rising sun, slowly played a set of Tai Chi boxing, and said while boxing: "This is to sleep comfortably in your place, and I got up late, otherwise I would have finished two sets of boxing." ”
After punching, he took a few deep breaths and said, "You have good scenery and good air quality here, it's really comfortable to open your eyes here in the morning." ”
The sun was shining, and after breakfast, he went out for a walk.
The environment in the village is good, the food is good, he feels that he is ready to stay in Longtou Village for a few more days.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ao Mudong's voice sounded outside: "Dragonhead, someone is looking for you." ”
Ao Muyang thought that Cheng Deming, who had gone out before, had returned, and said with a smile: "Old man, is this lost? Why are you still looking for you to lead the way......?"
When he went out, it was not Cheng Deming who came, but a man in camouflage clothes who had met twice before.
The middle-aged man was still wearing a camouflage uniform, he was carrying some fruits, and when he saw Ao Muyang, he smiled and said, "Hello, benefactor, I came to say thank you." ”
Ao Muyang invited him to enter the door and said in surprise: "How do you know my door?"
The middle-aged man said: "I went to the dock and the fish market to inquire, found the village, and came to the village to inquire again, and I found you." ”
Ao Muyang was still surprised: "It's so easy, how did you think of going to the dock and the fish market to inquire?"
The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed and said: "Benefactor, don't blame me for not speaking well, you have a bit of a sea smell on you, and you are generally a person who deals with seafood or running boats, so, hehe." ”
