Chapter 61: Good Wine and Good Food
Wang Yong didn't care about Zhang Kai and them, easily picked up a jar of unopened wine with more than 100 catties of wine, and walked out behind the second master, leaving him stunned with big eyes.
Wang Yong and the others returned to the second master's house for more than half an hour, and under the condition of Wang Yong, Zhang Lao made five or six side dishes with wine. The second uncle also came over, Zhang Kai and Lao Li still couldn't see anyone, and the uncle muttered vigorously if they had run away with wine.
During this period, Wang Yong called Dawei and asked him to come over for a drink. Who knew that this kid went to the capital, saying that he was recruiting a few experienced managers and supervisors. However, the pleasant piano sound from the mobile phone made Wang Yong very suspicious of his words. It can't be a lover, right? Wang Yong guessed in his heart.
Finally, after 88 turns in the same place and chanting 126 times, Zhang Kai and Lao Li appeared carrying the big wine jar. The two of them found ropes and sticks from nowhere, tied the edge of the jar with ropes, and carried the big jar with sticks. The two of them, who were tired and sweating profusely, finally entered the courtyard, and as soon as the altar was placed, they sat on the ground with their butts on their butts, panting heavily.
"Oops! Why are you sitting on the ground, you kid? If you want to catch a cold, get up quickly, and grandma will get you a stool. The second grandmother was distressed and wiped her sweat and moved a stool. Of course, only Zhang Kai can enjoy this treatment, and as for Lao Li's second wife, he didn't even look at it.
"It's time to eat!" Wang Yong's voice immediately lifted everyone's spirits, and they all quickly sat down at the table. Zhang Lao made four cold, four hot and eight dishes. It's really good in color, flavor and shape, and it makes people drool when they see it.
Half a pot of fried crispy peanuts, a pot of cold cucumber and kelp tofu shreds, a pot of crispy ribbon fish, a pot of sauced beef, and all four cold dishes are served in pots, which is absolutely sufficient.
The first of the four hot dishes is indispensable to Wang Yong's favorite Di San Xian, and Zhang Lao's craftsmanship is absolutely color, flavor, and flavor. Deep-fried soft eggplant and potatoes, with red, yellow, and green bell peppers, it is called a beautiful one.
There are also chickens stewed with mushrooms that have been stewed for a long time, half-sized chickens caught by Wang Yong on the farm when the chicken, and the mushrooms are produced by Xiao Shijie. As soon as this dish was served, it was a full house. Chopped chicken, fresh pine mushrooms, and of course, Wang Yong didn't forget to dig a small ginseng from Xiaoshijie. This is a batch of small ginseng that grew after the eleven ginseng planted by Wang Yong produced seeds. Wang Yong dug up this Zhang Lao identified as a five-year-old wild ginseng, and the quality is excellent. When he saw that Wang Yong wanted to throw the whole root into the chicken soup, the old man snatched the ginseng over and scolded Wang Yong for fooling around. Old man Zuihou just cut a few whiskers and threw them into the pot. As for the remaining ginseng, it was unceremoniously taken by Zhang Lao. Before coming out of the pot, Wang Yong secretly threw two matsutake mushrooms into it, making the dish exude a very attractive aroma.
The sauce stewed with big stick bones, there are not only stick bones, but also pork ribs and vertebrae. I stewed in a large iron pot from morning to afternoon for a day, and the rotten meat was gently shaken by the bones, and the meat fell off. A thick layer of oil floats on the surface of the entire pan, giving off a strong aroma. It's definitely a great dish for drinking! Drinking wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big bowl is only happy!
Zuihou A hot dish is fish, wild miscellaneous fish. This is Zhang Lao carefully selected from a pot of wild trash fish provided by Wang Yong, selected the appropriate size of trash fish, after processing, fried with oil to make golden crisp dry, the water in the fish was fried out, and then put into the pressure cooker, add various seasonings, and stew for half an hour before coming out of the pot. When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle a handful of coriander, and immediately the fish fragrance, the fragrance of various seasonings, and the taste of this coriander, immediately make people unconsciously begin to drool.
Two and a half pounds of porcelain jugs were filled, and they had already been warmed in hot water. Everyone has a small wine glass in front of them, and it is really small, and it is only the capacity of one dollar. Lao Li, a foodie, saw that the dishes were ready, and quickly grabbed the wine jug and began to pour wine for everyone. Zhang Kai grabbed another wine jug and poured wine for everyone with Lao Li.
"Here, everybody have a drink." The second master saw that it was all full, raised his glass and said.
"Here's one, here's one!" The guy who hangs the master is standing on the shoulders of the second grandmother and shouting jubilantly. The second grandmother touched this guy's head dotingly, then picked up the cup and tasted it herself. Immediately, his face was red to the base of his neck, and he quickly grabbed a chopstick cucumber and tofu shreds to eat.
"Here's one, here's one." The hanger is still making a fuss.
The second grandmother, who had eased up, put the hanging master from her shoulder to her lap, and then actually handed the wine glass to the hanging master's mouth. The group of men who watched grinned, the treatment of this hanger is too good! Such a small cup, if it is auctioned, how can it be auctioned for 1.8 million, right?
What everyone didn't expect was that the hanging master had a lot of alcohol, a sip of wine, a mouthful of food, and drank all the wine in the cup after a while. After that, he insisted on eating a lot of vegetables, and then he hung gloriously on the second milk's legs, drunk and didn't wake up. Well! This guy has a good wine, Wang Yong commented in his heart.
After everyone drank for a while, Zhang Kai suddenly asked, "What are you going to do with this wine?" ”
"Needless to say, of course I kept it for myself." The second master's words were strongly approved by the uncle.
"I think we can release two altars for this matter, one altar, let's donate it to the museum and get a name. What about a jar, let's auction it directly and get some profits. The advantage of this is that the ecological restaurant we are building will immediately have a certain popularity, which is much more cost-effective than advertising. Li Jianping is worthy of being a professional shopping mall veteran, and this good thing of three wins was unanimously approved by everyone, and the matter was handed over to him and Zhang Kai to do it all. Of course, there is a lot of benefit, and the leftover jar of wine Wang Yong today will belong to the two of them with a wave of his hand.
That night, a group of people drank until more than nine o'clock in the evening, except for Wang Yong, who was drunk and couldn't walk the aisle. can only stay at the second master's house for the night. However, when I woke up early the next morning, everyone felt refreshed, and I couldn't tell that I had drunk so much wine yesterday, and there were no symptoms of dry mouth after getting drunk, and everyone was full of energy, which was worthy of being a good wine that had been aged for 300 years.
After breakfast, Zhang Kai got up and went to the capital to contact the National Museum. Li Jianping called an auction company and said that he was going to auction a jar of wine that had been stored for more than 300 years. And it is specially stated that this wine can be drunk directly, with a rich aroma, a smooth taste and a long aftertaste. The auction company immediately became interested and decided to send someone to come over to inspect on the spot, and if it was true, it would be auctioned in an autumn auction in the company's Zuihou.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the first person from the auction company arrived. There are three people in total, one is Sun Yan, the manager in charge of the company's business, the other is Wu Di, a 40-year-old expert in charge of appraisal, and the other is the legal counsel of the auction company. Lao Li took them straight to the scene to find out, and now under the suggestion of Zhao Lao, it has begun to be reinforced and waterproof and seepage-proof. The river was also diverted, making a turn and giving way to a part.
When Wu Di, an auction expert, saw Old Man Zhao, he immediately said to Sun Yan: "That is the inheritor of Jishu of Erguotou, a famous national brewing master." With him in the field, this wine must be fine! ”
Sun Yan was also in high spirits when he heard this, since there is such a master with great background, it can't be used, so he asked Li Jianping if he could ask Zhao Lao to give a certificate. Who knows, Lao Li smiled lightly and took out a copy of the appraisal certificate from his handbag. Li Jianping asked Zhao Lao to open this appraisal this morning, and made more than 20 copies.
Seeing Sun Yan and Wu Di's surprised looks, Li Jianping told them the story of this wine again. Of course, there must be proper processing, some people have to use pseudonyms, and some things are simply hidden, so that the people in the auction company are still shocked. Who would have thought that there would be such a story about this wine. That's a huge selling point! Sun Yan couldn't wait to sign the auction contract immediately. When he directly offered to sign the auction contract immediately, he was told that the owner of the wine was now busy with important business and asked them to wait a while.
Where is Wang Yong? At this time, Wang Yong is accompanying the second master and uncle to pay tribute to the ancestors! Cups, cups of precious liquor that have been aged for more than 300 years, are sprinkled on the ground. With the breeze, the aroma of wine drifts away and spreads. The second master loudly told his ancestors about the strength and prosperity of the motherland now.
From the founding of the country to the present, the country has undergone tremendous changes. We can not only make guns ourselves, but also advanced warships and aircraft. Our country's own manned spacecraft has been successfully launched, and the astronauts have gone to the sky. Last year, we also successfully held an Olympic Games, and we were the first in the gold medal list. The country is rich, the people are rich. The younger generations have a good life, they are living very well, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and our poor village, which used to be famous, has now even bought several cars. There are also many people who have jobs in the city, bought buildings, and become city people......
The second master babbled for more than an hour, and it can be said that he had personally experienced these things. From the beginning of the struggle after the founding of the People's Republic of China, to the reform and opening up, overnight, the spring was full of people, and the country's economy developed rapidly. Many places are really a small change every three years, a big change in five years. It seems that countless high-rise buildings have been erected overnight, and great achievements have been made that have attracted worldwide attention. Although it has encountered various problems, under the leadership of several generations of leaders, the country has always been developing towards haode and achieving the set goals step by step. In particular, the state has just abolished the agricultural tax, which is the first time in thousands of years in this country, just like the groundbreaking, the land is no longer paid, but the state also gives subsidies.
However, today's young people don't want to endure hardships and hardships in farming! They all went to the city to find work, which was faster than farming, and they came in more money. A lot of land in our village is deserted! The land that has been fed by our ancestors for generations is so barren, and the weeds are half a man's height, so distressed! But I'm too old to do it! can only let the land be so barren.
Thankfully, the grandson is back! He said that he wanted to return to his hometown for development, so he came back to be a new farmer because of the country's emphasis on agriculture and the good policies promulgated by the state to benefit farmers and support agriculture. I didn't understand it at the time, this farmer is a farmer, a new farmer? Isn't it all farming? Isn't it all about planting one seed in the spring and harvesting ten thousand grains in the autumn? As soon as my grandson got up, I understood what a new farmer was.
Using science and technology, planting new and special varieties, a pound of vegetables is sold for thirty or forty yuan a pound. The fruit of the planted fruit trees is sold for hundreds of yuan a catty, and a golden egg is dozens of yuan, and it is still being rushed for it. We've been planting for half a lifetime, and we never thought that this farmer could still do this? Old! Can't keep up with the times! No, grandson, I became the village chief under my persecution. In order to lead the whole village to make a fortune, now we want to build an ecological restaurant, saying that it is to engage in tourism, so that people in the city can come to our village to spend money to experience rural life and eat farm food. Tell me, what is this? Isn't that spending money to find guilt? Okay, haode doesn't stay in the city, but wants to come to the countryside to suffer? I don't understand, I can't keep up with the ideas of young people!
The sky gradually darkened, and Wang Yong and the uncle supported the second master, who had been chattering all afternoon, back to the village. A full moon that had just hung up on the horizon gently lifted a layer of light veil and sprinkled the moonlight, illuminating the way home for the old and young.
