A group of people came to the house of Liu Xinhe, the party secretary of Liujiagou Village, and the master with the best cooking skills in their village had already prepared a large table of dishes for everyone to taste.

"Come, come, come, everyone hurry up and sit down, you're welcome! Although our small village is not rich, it relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the water to eat the water, and the taste of the wild fish and shrimp here is definitely much better than that of the general pit farming. ”

Secretary Liu of Liuzhuang Town beckoned everyone to sit down, and at the same time boasted vigorously. However, Wang Yong was surprised to find that the two family members of Liujiagou did not seem to have any excited and proud expressions for this kind of praise of their village, but had a sad face, as if they did not agree with the secretary's words.

"Alright, old king, let's serve!" Secretary Liu shouted from outside, and then turned to Wang Yong, who was curious about what would be delicious, and explained with a smile:

"Lao Wangtou is also from this village, he was a soldier in the army in his early years, and he was a cooking soldier. He burned the fire and cooked, and served as a soldier for more than six years, but because the old man in his family died, he had to change jobs and go home. This man cooks a good meal, and no one in our town dares to say that he is second. ”

As soon as he said this, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a washed white green military uniform, walked in with a large basin. Then an enticing scent wafts through the air, reaching the nose and eyes.

"Wow! This is the eighth king? ”

Wang Yong shouted in surprise! In recent years, there are not many people in the village who eat this thing, and not even in the county town eat this thing. One is that the quantity of this thing is too small, it is difficult to see, and if it is not done well, it smells very fishy, and it is not bad at all.

Another reason is that there is not much meat in this thing, and for farmers, it is laborious and oily to make, and there is no meat, so it is not enjoyable to eat. So even though we all know that it's a good thing, not many people have actually eaten it.

"Hehe, we all follow the old king's name here, called soft-shelled turtle. This is Lao Wangtou's specialty dish red stewed soft-shelled turtle, everyone moves chopsticks, how about tasting the taste? ”

Saying that, Secretary Liu first sandwiched a large piece of skirt and put it in the bowl of Wang Yong, the youngest person on the table, and then sandwiched a large piece of it to Deputy County Magistrate Qin, the person with the largest official position. Other people don't have that treatment to enjoy the treatment of his Secretary Liu's personal picking, where is the level of the family!

It's a real serious level!

To be honest, for the soft-shelled turtle, or Wang Ba, Wang Yong is really loveless. No matter how much those gourmets and nutritionists in later generations boast, Wang Yong almost never touches this thing every time he encounters it.

This time was no exception, facing the cheap Uncle Liu clamped into his bowl skirt, Wang Yong picked up the chopsticks and threw them into Qin Lang's bowl without thinking about it.

"Uncle Qin, you have the best food for this, and I will make it up for you."

Then this kid didn't care about the big people at the table, stared at him with small eyes, stared at Wang Lao Bing without blinking, and walked in with a big bowl.

Lao Wang saw that the only child on the table was staring at the bowl in his hand, smiled slightly, and deliberately put the bowl closest to him.

This time, the bowl was filled with black-brown snake-like stuff, fried with sliced leeks and oily, and the aroma was so fragrant that it made people appetize and appetite when they looked at it.

"This is, this is the yellow eel!"

Wang Yong is very familiar with this thing, although he can hardly see this thing in their house, but he still eats this thing a few times in his memory. From the first time he ate it, he fell in love with this very tough guy called snakefish by his old family.

In the word of mouth of the old family, the yellow eel is a good product to replenish the brain, that is, in this era, everyone is not too particular. If it is another ten years or so, every year when the examination season comes in May and June, as long as the family has the conditions, parents will do everything possible to buy some yellow eels and walnuts for their children to eat.

It is said that the yellow eel is also rich in eel, which can regulate blood sugar and has an excellent therapeutic effect on diabetes, especially the wild yellow eel, which is said to have the best effect.

This thing is produced all year round, but in the north in the autumn, these eels burrow into the soil and start hibernating, and it is not so easy to hunt them.

Generally speaking, before and after the summer heat, the yellow eel has the best quality, better taste, and the most nutritious. The folk are known as the "small summer yellow eel race ginseng".

didn't care about being verbose, and didn't wait for Uncle Liu's introduction, Wang Yong stuffed four or five ten-centimeter-long eel shreds into his mouth as soon as he went down with chopsticks.

"Good thing, why does this thing have to be sold for ten or eight dollars in the city, right?"

Wang Yong muttered something in his mouth while eating, which suddenly stunned Village Chief Liu, who was about to help him clip the yellow eel.

"You said this thing is worth ten dollars a pound?"

Secretary Liu also stopped his chopsticks and looked at Wang Yong with round eyes. In fact, don't look at the mountains and rivers near the village, but these things are not worth much these days.

Because it is located in a truly mountainous area, there is almost no flat land in every household in Liujiagou, and all of them are mountainous land, or terraced fields cultivated by themselves.

Because there is very little water source in the mountain, planting crops depends on manpower to carry water from the bottom of the mountain to the top for irrigation, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the efficiency is extremely low.

People can plant the same crop and water it twice, but they have to water it at least five or six times here, which is not as good as other people's harvests. The soil on the mountain is not good, and there is no way to store water.

With the same seeds and the same planting methods, the villagers in Liujiagou have to spend two or three times more effort than other villages, and most of the time they end up harvesting half of the harvest.

The village below the mountain can grow sweet potatoes, wheat, grapes, fruit trees, and vegetables. Most of the crops in Liujiagou can only grow corn, and potatoes, which are drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant plants, are difficult to have a good harvest for other crops.

There are many fruit trees planted on the hills belonging to the village, but because of the lack of water and the poor soil quality, the fruits are not only pitiful, but also small and cannot be sold at a high price.

People sell the same fruit, and they rush to ask for five cents a pound, and people in their own village may not be willing to buy three cents. It's really not good-looking, and it's even less delicious. Most of the things that people buy home are for food, and what is the use of cheap things that are not delicious?

However, relying on the big reservoir, the people in the village do not have to worry about eating fish. But when it comes to selling, it's full of bitter tears! In the past few years, every family has a tight life, nothing to do, who can be willing to spend money to buy fish to eat every day?

What's more, there are not a hundred fish pits in large and small reservoirs around here, and there are almost no less, who will buy fish to eat nearby! Make a fishing hook and sit on the shore, and it won't take half a day to get a three-to-five-pound big fish and small shrimp, so that the family can improve the food.

The environment in the countryside is really good these days!

Not to mention anything else, Wang Yong's younger brother Wang Liang is such a little kid, he used a rope to tie a canned bottle to the ditch to play and fish, and he can get dozens of small fish and shrimp in half a day.

Take it home and clean up the fish scales and internal organs, wrap it in flour and fry it in oil, and sprinkle a little salty salt grains after it comes out of the pot.

Therefore, although Liujiagou guards such a treasure mountain, it cannot make a fortune from it, but has become the poorest village in the vicinity and even in the entire Liuzhuang Town.

When Wang Yong heard Secretary Liu say with a sad face that the per capita income of their village might be less than 300 yuan last year, he couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and listen carefully to his account of the helplessness of the villagers in the village.

300 yuan a year, not to mention anything else, is that children go to school, primary school students like Wang Yong, in a year, tuition, books, work-study tuition, all kinds of miscellaneous expenses are 100 yuan. In those days, almost every family in the countryside had two children, and there was no such thing as nine-year compulsory education at this time.

There is also a family that eats horses and chews, and the crops in the field have to buy fertilizer, seeds, and pesticides, and pay all kinds of taxes and retention after harvesting every year. It can be said that if it is 300 yuan per capita, it is impossible for Kenben to even have a full meal.

I can't even get enough to eat, let alone anything else. No wonder Wang Yong saw a lot of teenage children in the village wearing tattered clothes hanging out, today is not Sunday! Needless to say, this is because the family really has no money and can't afford them to study.

"Hey! It's all those of us who are officials who haven't done a good job! Qin Lang listened to Secretary Song's words, looked at the table full of delicious food, and lost his appetite anymore.

"In this way, in the future, I will be the master of the contract money for this reservoir, and half of it will be handed over to the village, and the rest will be said later, as long as it is a school-age child, they all have to go to school!" Children are the hope of the village! No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education! ”

Qin Lang's words made the two family members of Liu Jiagou stand up excitedly, that's 10,000 yuan! The two of them have been village officials for many days, when did the village have such a large amount of income?

"Eldest nephew, you have also seen that the life of the fellow villagers is really hard! Uncle knows that you kid has a way, you help Uncle come up with ideas, Uncle first mention this Song Jiagou hundreds of people, thank you! ”

As he spoke, Secretary Liu of Liu Zhuang Town stood up suddenly and bowed to Wang Yong. This scared Wang Yong a lot, anyway, this is also Uncle Biao's own brother, so Uncle Biao himself can't afford such a big gift.

So after a period of scrambling to dodge, under Qin Lang's scolding, a group of people sat down again. But this time, everyone did not stagger, did not eat and drink, but looked at Wang Yong, who was thinking with his chin in his hands and his eyes closed.

To say that with the memory of the future, Wang Yong is not sure that this small village will be rich and noble, but it is still no problem for them to solve the problem of food and clothing and run to the well-off road.

It's not that he can't come up with ideas, on the contrary, it's because he has so many ideas that he can't decide which one to choose.

Under the ardent antigery of a group of people, Wang Yong finally spoke.

It's so hot today! I can't stand it! It's so uncomfortable to have no time to spare! That's it for now! I don't have the face to ask for a collection and a recommendation, and I want to find a place to enjoy the coolness!
