Lunch was eaten at Tao Xiaohui's house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Xiaofei and Lin Mei competed for a long time before they got the position of host, that is, the right to pay the bill belonged to Ye Xiaofei.
Different from other families in Xinghua Village, Tao Xiaohui's family is not Tao Xiaohui's mother, but her father Tao Dakuan is cooking.
Tao Dakuan's skills in making farmhouse dishes are very good, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with wild meat, and when boiling soup and stew, he will add some medicinal materials picked in the mountains to enhance the taste, which often has a good effect.
The lunch wasn't rich, but it was definitely an appetite.
The first course is cold bean curd, handmade soybeans made by the farmer, supplemented with home-brewed vinegar and seasonings, and is sure to be a gluttonous appetizer.
It was followed by a plate of skin jelly, which was also boiled out of the skin of a local pig fed with pure grain, although the taste was not excellent, but it made Shen Bingqing, who was used to eating big meals, give a thumbs up frequently.
Because considering that the hot dishes may be served slowly, Tao Dakuan shrewdly prepared a plate of balsamic vinegar peanuts and a plate of fried crispy small fish in advance and put them on for the guests to make a tooth sacrifice, avoiding the boredom and annoyance of waiting for the dishes.
The first dish of the hot dish is the fresh hare made into tangerine peel red wine stewed spicy rabbit meat, the tangerine peel is Tao Dakuan's own drying, the red wine is not the kind of red wine bought in the market, but the purple grapes on the vines in the yard are handmade after ripening.
This dish is packed in a small stainless steel basin, it is really full of a large pot, the soup and meat are complete, the fragrance is attractive, Ye Xiaofei only took a small bite, and he couldn't stop anymore.
Next, there are a total of eight hot dishes such as farmhouse wild vegetables, three fresh vegetables, long yam fungus, large pot sticker tofu, farmhouse stewed local chicken, and braised pork stewed vermicelli.
The color is average, but the taste is fragrant, each part is contained in a small stainless steel basin, the amount is very sufficient.
The final hard dish is a fresh grass carp caught from the lotus pond in the village, with the cooking of pickled sauerkraut and the herbs that Tao Dakuan himself came, and finally made into a sauerkraut medicinal fish.
The fish is tender and the soup is refreshing, even Lin Mei, who has always attached importance to her figure, drank two bowls of fish soup in one go.
With so many dishes, it is obvious that three people can't eat them all.
Until the three of them left Tao Dakuan's house full, there were still a lot of dishes left on the table.
Tao Xiaohui helped her mother put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Dad, how did you cook so many specialty dishes today?"
Tao Dakuan shook his head, looked at a large table full of dishes and said, "Don't worry, don't take those guys with dishes, and I'll call a few old guys to come over and drink a few glasses of wine." ”
Tao Xiaohui glanced at her father unexpectedly and said, "Dad, I heard you right, haven't you been using our home-brewed wine for the past two years, why are you breaking the vow again." ”
Tao Dakuan shook his head and said, "Dad is happy, do you know how much money we earned at this table today?"
Tao Xiaohui shook her head suspiciously, and said, "How do I know, can I earn three hundred?"
The dishes on the table seem to be rich and diverse, but most of them are home-grown items of the farmers, and even if they are sold for tens of billions of hares in the big city, they cannot be sold at a high price in the neighbors of the village.
In the internal transactions of the villagers, most of the prices of a hare are only thirty or fifty yuan, and a pheasant is about the same. It's like rhubarb often catches rabbits back for a while, Ye Kaishan takes the rabbit and gives it away, and some people leave Ye Kaishan for a meal, even if it is to make up for the favor.
Therefore, even if you add rare game such as pheasants and hares, according to the usual values of the village, the three hundred yuan that Tao Xiaohui guessed is not a low price.
After all, in the past, when Lin Mei entertained guests at Tao Xiaohui's house, the four dishes of two meat and two vegetables generally cost 30 yuan.
Although I thank you for the dishes today, most of them are cheap materials, and even the fresh grass carp was sent to the door by Ye Xiaofei, and there are six big grass carp of about three catties, which is when the fat girl is fresh and tender.
Tao Dakuan collected six fish, but only one was used for this meal, in his opinion, this is not to give him money for food, it can't be said to be a loss, at most it is just a little hard work.
Thinking of this, Tao Dakuan took a leisurely puff of cigarette, did not dislike the leftovers on the table, reached over and pinched a piece of rabbit meat and threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Three hundred, Xiaohui, you guessed too little, be brave enough to continue guessing!"
Because of the food in his mouth, Tao Dakuan's voice sounded a little slurred, so Tao Xiaohui asked uncertainly: "What? Dad, I heard you right?"
Tao Dakuan quickly chewed a few times and swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth, and said with a smile: "That's right, you can guess more." ”
Tao Xiaohui nodded ignorantly, continued to think about it, and said, "Dad, I heard that a table of dishes in luxury hotels in big cities outside can sell for thousands of yuan, can we also earn a thousand yuan for this table of dishes?"
Tao Dakuanle smiled and said: "Silly girl, what is a thousand, your little brother Fei promised to give three thousand yuan for this table of dishes." ”
"What? three thousand!" Tao Xiaohui asked incredulously with wide-eyed eyes and a big mouth.
Tao Dakuan nodded and said, "I don't believe you asked your mother, but I kept saying I didn't want it, but your little brother Fei was stunned and left behind." ”
Tao Xiaohui looked at her mother, her mother nodded as expected, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "If you want to say that Xiaofei's baby has gone to college, it's different, you see how promising this is! ”
When Tao Xiaohui's family was chatting happily in the courtyard, Ye Xiaofei, who was accompanying Shen Bingqing on the edge of the lotus pond, suddenly sneezed.
Ye Xiaofei pressed his nose and said, "I don't know who is thinking about me again, it can't be Dudu, right?"
Shen Bingqing pulled back the broken hair in front of his forehead and said, "It's really possible, Dudu has always been able to talk to you." ”
Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, when you leave later, you have to take two of these fish back, and tell Dudu that Uncle Ye gave it to her." ”
Shen Bingqing nodded with a smile and said, "The fish in your lotus pond are really good, not much worse than the imported freshwater fish we bought at a high price." ”
Ye Xiaofei held his head high proudly and said, "That's it, or I wouldn't have the courage to block that Mr. He directly." ”
Shen Bingqing said with a smile: "Don't be too proud, the sauerkraut fish is really delicious today, but most of the credit is on Dr. Tao, he is the head chef, I want to dig him to our Crystal Palace to be a chef with a high salary." ”
Ye Xiaofei shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Shen, don't think about this, I'm still going to beg Uncle Tao to help me do a big business, and the salary will definitely be no less than the chef in your big hotel." ”
Shen Bingqing was very curious when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Yes, can you tell me what you plan to do? Do you want to get involved in the catering industry? Then I can introduce some friends to you." ”
Ye Xiaofei refused with a smile: "No, I am indeed a foodie, but I don't have the idea of doing catering business." At least for the time being, I don't plan to do it, but if the village develops in the future, it will be a good business to run a farmhouse. ”
Shen Bingqing looked at the mountains and rivers left and right, took a deep breath and said: "It is indeed a good place, but don't be unhappy if I pour cold water on you, your village has mountains and water, fresh air and beautiful scenery, it looks good, but the location is too remote, if you want to invest in construction and tourism, the investment amount is an astronomical amount." ”
Ye Xiaofei nodded and said, "Yes, but fortunately, there is no way to do it, I believe there will always be a way, anyway, I'm still young, everything is possible." ”
After that, Ye Xiaofei said secretly in his heart: When my plan succeeds, the money is just a number, and when the time comes, the embryonic house will become a villa, and the poor mountain village will become a tourist attraction, it will not be an easy thing! )
