Chapter 190: Salt Chicken

Seeing that he didn't have any common language with Lelang, Shen Min helped him put things in place and walked out. When I walked to the backyard, I saw that Shaoqing was still sitting on a chair in the hall, and she didn't move half a step, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little playful, and she walked out immediately.

Seeing him like this, Shaoqing asked Le Lang who came out with him, "What's wrong with Shenmin, how strange does it feel." ”

"Leave him alone, he's so nervous." His words almost made Shen Min, who had just crossed the threshold, stumble and fall.

"Oh," Shaoqing asked softly.

After taking out all the persimmons to dry, Lelang began to wash his clothes again. Shaoqing took a bag of snacks, sat on a chair and ate, silently watching him wash his clothes. It's a good feeling.

Le Lang silently accompanied Shaoqing for three days, and her place was restored to its original state after three days. In the three days, Le Lang did not make any cheating actions on her, and he just hugged her to sleep at night, everything made Shaoqing very moved, women are all animals with feelings, seeing what Le Lang did for her, a heart has already been filled by him, and he can't tolerate anyone else.

When Le Lang handed over the keys to her home, she had already made it her home, even though the two were not officially married.

Today is the big day of the monkeys, to hold a banquet at the Nanzhou Hotel, Le Lang said earlier that he was going, so after breakfast, he took Shaoqing and San Lang early to call a car in the village to drive over.

Fujian is mountainous, and so is Nanzhou. Because he grew up in the embrace of the mountains since he was a child, Lelang has an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he sees the mountains, on the contrary, if he goes to the plains, he will feel empty and have nothing to rely on.

Xiaoxi Village is a mountain village on the edge, a little far from Nanzhou, so even if they arrive early, it will be almost eleven o'clock when they arrive in Nanzhou. So he asked a driver from the same village to take them to a restaurant for dinner, and Ah Cong was already waiting there.

There is a local dish in Nanzhou that is very famous, that is, "salt chicken", salt chicken was introduced to Nanzhou in the 80s by a master chef in Chaozhou, and later carefully researched and innovated by a local chef Cai Songzhen, and carried forward. Now the reputation of the dish has spread far and wide, and it may have been unexpected by the master who introduced the salt chicken method.

The practice of salt chicken is actually very simple, that is, smear a layer of secret seasoning on the body of the bare chicken, then put the chicken on the iron pot with coarse salt at the bottom, and then spread a layer of bamboo leaves on it, and finally wrap the chicken with salt, cover the pot, and then start to burn the fire. It is best to use firewood when salt and salt chicken, and it should be burned with lychee wood, because the salt chicken produced in this way is the most fragrant.

The most important thing in making salt chicken is not anything else, but the seasoning and heat, you can't use a fierce fire when burning the fire, you must use medium heat, and finally use the embers of the firewood to burn slowly.

Use the earthen stove to burn the firewood, and when the smell of the salt chicken is fragrant, you should start to remove the firewood from the stove, and then use the residual temperature of the firewood in the stove to slowly salt it, wait for a while, and then lift the lid and take out the chicken. At this time, the chicken has been salted, and the smell of chicken, bamboo leaves, salt and spices is delicious.

When eating salt chicken, it is best to wear xìng gloves to tear and eat, the feeling of eating meat and drinking wine in large pieces makes people feel comfortable, some people can eat about five salt chickens in one go, mainly the salt chickens used for salt are only about one pound of children's chickens, and the salt chicken that has just been baked is very delicious, which makes people can't help but have a great appetite.

In the past, the shops that made salt chicken were all on a mountain called Yundongyan on the outskirts of Nanzhou City, but later the government felt that these shops had damaged the environment on the mountain, so they demolished these shops, and there were as many as 20 or 30 shops, and then only a few were left to open at the foot of the mountain. But because of the booming business and cutting corners, the current salt chicken is no longer the same as before.

The family that Ah Cong came to is actually on the mountain, but not the original mountain, but on a hill next to it, on which a few tiled houses were built, and a large courtyard was enclosed, in which a few lychees were planted, and a few tables and chairs were placed under the lychee trees. When Lelang and the others walked in, Ah Cong was already sitting at a table making tea and talking to an old man next to him.

In fact, this is not a store, the owner of the family planted a lot of bayberry and bamboo on this mountain, and he can receive a large amount of money every year, and opening a store is just his side business. And he didn't have a signboard here, at first there were just people who came here to play and asked him to help cook and eat, and slowly this place spread.

During the season when bayberry and bamboo shoots are produced, the boss does not do business, because the fruits on the mountain cannot be taken care of, and there is no time to cook for you.

The chickens here are all free-range, and the taste is much better than the half-fodder chickens in the restaurant, and even the vegetables are grown by him, and he will only go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables when the things at home are sold out. As for who can eat authentic farmhouse food, it only depends on luck. Ah Cong's luck is obviously good, and he picked out several salt chickens today from the free-range chickens in the back.

They walked over to the chairs and sat down. When the boss saw that everyone was ready, he brought up the prepared dishes, which were salt chicken, fried vegetables, fried loach and braised small yellow croaker with preserved vegetables, all of which were good authentic dishes, and the boss here could handle them.

Seeing the salt chicken coming up, Le Lang put on gloves and tore a big chicken tuǐ for Shaoqing and San Lang, and he also tore a wing and ate it, which made Ah Cong on the side directly dumbfounded. In just a few clicks, a chicken was almost eaten by them, but what comforted him was that he called a total of three salt chickens, so he was not afraid that he would not have to eat them.

But this thing is fast and slow, didn't he see San Lang Sanliang and the next chicken tuǐ was almost finished, he hurriedly grabbed another chicken wing and ate it.

The proprietor's husband was a pair of old men in their sixties, and the two of them sat at the door and saw a few people gobbling up, and laughed happily.

After eating, it was still early for the monkey's wedding feast, and Le Lang proposed to let Ah Cong take them around. It's been a long time since I've been here, and a lot of places have become a little different.

Ah Cong drives a Hummer, with strong power and a wild appearance, giving people a very strong feeling. Ah Cong drove the car, with Le Lang around the shuttle, this is Longwen District, 97 years of the district, this district in the common people have a bad reputation, the local people call it "embarrassed district" when they talk about this district. In southern Fujian, the word "embarrassed" not only means poor, but also carries a bit of ridicule.

Ah Cong drove the car and took Le Lang and they walked around for a while, and came to a bridge across the river and stopped. A few people got out of the car, under the bridge is the surging river, not far from the mouth of the sea, so the river breeze is blowing, blowing Shaoqing's hair to fly.

This river is a tributary of the Jiulong River, called "Xixi", and the bridge at the foot is called "Xixi Bridge".

Standing on the bridge, breathing in the breath of the river water blown by the wind, Le Lang couldn't help but say with emotion: "I haven't been here for a few years, but everything has changed." ”

"What has changed is the bridge, what has not changed is the people." When Le Lang left, this bridge was not yet in its infancy, but now it is already a broad road, so Ah Cong said so.

"People, old man" Le Lang smiled self-deprecatingly, leaning on the railing, looking at the endless river below, silent for a while. Seeing him like this, Shaoqing quietly walked over and put his arm around him, Le Lang saw it, patted her, and signaled that it was okay.

Suddenly, he saw a crowd of people in the dark below, and the noisy sound came to his ears with the wind. As far as the eye can see, it turns out that someone is building a house in a village below, and there is a group of black city managers who want to demolish the house. I saw a group of law enforcement chengguan of the black crow and crow, surrounding the house that had been built one floor, blocking the water of the house and preventing people from entering, surrounded by countless onlookers, and more than a dozen law enforcement officers with sledgehammers knocked on the cement slab on it.

At this moment, an elderly woman rushed to a big fat man who looked like an official and knelt down, burst into tears, and cried out in a desolate voice: "Don't, don't, please, don't......"

The official was obviously indifferent, and shouted loudly with his hands crossed: "Demolish, demolish for me." ”

Seeing this scene, Le Lang patted the iron railing and said angrily: "It's too lawless, it's too lawless." ”

Ah Cong looked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Alas, is this still a small matter?" A few days ago, I saw these people shouting hook machine (strange hands), and they forcibly hooked down the houses built by others, and the family couldn't think about it, and committed suicide by drinking pesticides. Another time when I was demolishing the house, I almost crushed an old man. Recently, I heard that in Yancuo, there was a family who demolished the house because of the construction of a railway, and he didn't have a house himself, so he went to the mountain to build an iron house, but he didn't expect to be demolished once, and then he was ruthless, and stabbed an official with a sabre, and he is still in prison. ”

"Hmph, the common people want to build a house after working hard to earn money, but they didn't expect to build a house and have to demolish it, it's no wonder if you don't be ruthless, isn't this a rural area?" Le Lang turned his head to Ah Cong and asked.

"Who knows?"

"In the end, these people are short-sighted, what the Chinese value most, the foundation, the future generations, and these people want to destroy their foundation and future generations, in the long run, they will be dissatisfied, and then lose confidence in this government, when this dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause violence*, and then I am afraid that the smoke will be filled again." There is an old Chinese saying that 'after a long time, you must be united, and if you are separated for a long time, you must be divided', and I hope that this kind of day will not come too quickly. ”
