Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hot Pot Suggestions
Today's trip, not only negotiated the construction of reinforced concrete and other materials, but also by the way to solve the problem of the placement of the salesmen who have been bothered for a long time, Wang Fagen, who was half drunk, smiled, he lit a cigarette for the monkey, and the two sat in the store shivering and spitting fog.
When the two of them saw Zhang Meng and Li Liang returning to the store, Wang Fagen smiled and said, "Zhang Meng, what Liangzi said about renovating the store just now, hurry up, you see me and the monkey are frozen!"
The customers in the store all leave after eating, unlike in summer and autumn, when many customers will sit in the store for a while after eating, drink free rock sugar water, and talk about the mountains. In winter, except for meals, there are basically no guests sitting at other times. Even the service staff in the store cleaned up the table and hid in the warmer back kitchen, washing dishes and vegetables.
"I'll do this as soon as possible. Zhang Meng responded.
Li Liang tightened the clothes on his body, looked at his trembling uncle, and suddenly remembered a joke, he said with a smile:
"We now have four basic principles, do you know what they are?"
"Cut, I'll say ~~~" The monkey was about to speak.
Li Liang continued, I didn't mean the official one, what I said was: "Traffic basically depends on walking, communication basically relies on roaring, public security basically relies on dogs, and heating basically relies on shaking." ”
After speaking, Li Liang smiled faintly.
However, Zhang Meng, Monkey and Wang Fagen were a little confused, what was so ridiculous. After all, there are still a small number of people who have bicycles, and most of the rural people who go to the city basically rely on walking for a distance of less than 10 miles, and only those who are too far away will pay for a car.
Only a few government agencies and units have telephones, and everyone's communication basically depends on writing letters or asking people to bring in the phone. Most rural areas have loudspeakers, and what happens in the village is generally broadcast through loudspeakers, which is also a kind of loudspeaker.
As for the security of dogs, who do not keep one or two dogs in the countryside to take care of the home, especially in the past two years, the phenomenon of petty theft has begun to increase, and there are more people who have dogs, but the number of people who steal dogs has also increased.
In the south of the home heating, except for the festival and the New Year, when the guests come to raise the brazier, at other times most people are reluctant to get that bit of charcoal, and they are also reluctant to make a fire to warm up at home.
Li Liang saw the bewildered expressions on the faces of the three of them, and had an epiphany. These jokes are all popular jokes decades later, and they are self-ridiculed by netizens and friends in later generations. Nowadays, people live in such an environment, where do they find it funny.
Thinking that security depends on dogs, Li Liang suddenly thought of a new dish in his mind. Now the materials are not abundant, and most people have dogs at home not only to take care of the family, but also to fight tooth sacrifices during the New Year's holidays.
In ancient times, dogs were the main source of meat for commoners, and sheep were eaten by nobles. In ancient times, butchers were actually dog killers, such as Fan Xu, the founding general of the Han Dynasty who followed Liu Bang, Fan Xu was born as a butcher, and he was a person who specialized in killing dogs.
The ancients also rarely ate beef, and occasionally a little beef was also from sick and dead cattle or cattle that died accidentally. In ancient times, cattle were important farming labor, and generally could not be killed, and only those cattle that had lost their ability to work were killed to eat meat.
As for pork, the ancients thought that pigs were filthy and smelled terrible, and that no one ate pork except for the poor, who had no choice. Moreover, to this day, the followers of the *** religion do not eat pork, because in their faith, pigs are extremely filthy things.
Correspondingly, China has a very strong dog-eating culture since ancient times, "dog meat rolls three times, the gods are unstable", "winter solstice cold dog meat pot, five immortals wind and rain are happy", "dog meat pot rolls a few times, the gods are all sitting firmly" are all about the delicacy of dog meat.
As for the boycott of dog meat that appeared in the previous life and later generations, Li Liang did not support or oppose it.
With the development of China's economy for decades, people's materials are abundant, and the choice of meat food has gradually increased, not only the domestic supply of pork, beef, mutton, but also a large number of imports from abroad, and even lobster, abalone, king crab and other seafood are also in constant supply, and dog meat has gradually been removed from the table of many young people.
And people's lives are becoming more and more lonely, pets have entered people's daily life, becoming many people's spiritual comfort, of which pet dogs are an important part.
Li Liang clearly remembered that he had seen a news in his previous life, one day on Modu Street, a million-dollar luxury car with a dog's posthumous photo on the front drove all the way along SH Street. The owner of the pet dog was once anxious about how to deal with the aftermath for the pet, and after learning that the corresponding pet funeral services were provided online, he spent more than 8,000 yuan to place an order for his pet dog to hold a grand and luxurious funeral.
In Li Liang's view, in the later generations, whether it is "fire rescue cats", or "heavy money to find dogs", or "burial of dogs", in the period of social transformation with diversified interests and diversified values, different people will inevitably have differences in their views on the same thing.
For a bystander like Li Liang, the end of a dog's life is just an inconsequential story, while for the person concerned, the dog's demise is an unforgettable experience.
Therefore, the culture of dog eating can be preserved, but the violent theft of dogs, especially the consumption of pet dogs, should be severely cracked down.
Li Liang came up with the idea that Wangkelai could launch dog meat hot pot in such a cold winter, and then launch other hot pots. There has always been a dog-eating culture in Hek County, but basically they are eaten at home, and restaurants occasionally provide dog meat pots.
Hot pot, a popular way of eating all over the country in later generations, has been spread since the 21st century, at least in Hek County. Hekang people are accustomed to eating heavy oil, spicy and salty, which just fits the hot pot, so many new hot pot restaurants were opened in Hek County later, and most of the business was good.
If you take the lead in launching hot pot in Wangkelai now, maybe you can really build Wangkelai into a catering empire.
Thinking of this, Li Liang pulled Zhang Meng aside and said, "Brother Meng, I have an idea, now that the weather is getting colder and colder, can the store launch hot pot, such as dog meat hot pot, mutton hot pot, and beef hot pot?"
"What is a hot pot?" Zhang Meng wondered, "The pot that burns the fire?"
Li Liang gestured with his hand and explained: "That's it, put a charcoal basin on the table, and put an iron pot on it, and cook dog meat, mutton or beef in advance in it, and customers can choose according to their own preferences." When eating, we put the washed vegetables, tofu, oil bubbles, pork belly slices, fish balls, fish fillets, duck blood, duck intestines, fungus, etc. aside, and customers can just hold what they want to eat in the pot and rinse it in the pot. ”
