Chapter 27: The Banquet
Before the driver Xiao Chen came back, the other guests had already driven in one after another, and they were all surprised to see Qiu Lao wet and draped in a thin blanket. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Dad! What's going on with you? A middle-aged man dressed in a suit and leather shoes walked quickly, he was Qiu Ping, the son of Qiu Lao.
Qiu Lao's face was pale, and he didn't say a word, should he say that he was dragged into the water by a fish, or was he pushed down by Lao Jiang?
"It's nothing, it's just that I was dragged into the water by a fish." Jiang Lao was already smiling.
"What?" Qiu Ping didn't react at once.
"If it weren't for Lao Tzu blocking it, it would be you who fell into the water!" Qiu Lao was not angry.
"Hey, thank you!" Old Jiang said with a smile.
Qiu Ping knew the temperament of these two people, and the quarrel was endless, so he hurriedly asked, "There are such big fish in the reservoir?" ”
"Why not? This strength, estimated at hundreds of catties, seems to be still a black fish! It's like a monster, it's incredible, but it's a pity that you made a fuss and let it slip away! "Jiang Laomei's eyebrows are dancing!
Seeing that his father was angry again, Qiu Ping hurriedly said without waiting for him to speak: "Hundreds of catties of big black fish? It's not easy to catch, and when it's exhausted, it's probably going to be gone for dinner tonight. ”
When Jiang Lao heard this, he was a little relieved. That's right, this fish is too big, and it is full of energy, and it can't be walked for a few hours, and it seems that it really has nothing to do with it today.
At this time, Qiu Ping said again: "Such a big black fish, I'm afraid it will pose a certain threat to people, and people can't swim and frolick in the water." ”
Li Jing didn't know what Qiu Ping's identity was, but looking at the temperament on his body, it seemed to have some official atmosphere, and he stood up and promised: "In the future, I will prohibit villagers and guests from entering the water, and set up a sign to warn you to avoid danger." ”
Qiu Ping looked at Li Jing with some surprise, after all, there are not many young people who devote themselves to agriculture, forestry and fishery. But he only bowed slightly to Li Jing, and he didn't mean to get acquainted.
"Let me introduce to you, Xiaoyou's name is Li Jing, the owner of this farm. Li Jing is a master of fishing, throw me eighteen streets, and his things are very delicious, I guarantee that you bite off your tongue, tonight's banquet is what I cheekily begged for. By the way, remember not to eat too much and be careful of nosebleeds. "Jiang Lao actually took the initiative to introduce Li Jing to them.
Li Jing was a little surprised, but also slightly moved.
Qiu Ping was surprised, and only then did he face Li Jinglai, Qiu Ping changed his previous insipidity, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Qiu Ping." ”
"Hello, Mr. Qiu." Li Jing shook hands with him gently.
The guests invited by Jiang Lao arrived one after another, some of them were friends like Qiu Lao, and not only with status, but also people who liked fishing and eating game, a total of seven people. The other part is Jiang Lao's family, daughter-in-law, grandson, nephew, etc., the youngest is only ten years old, and his relatives in Liancheng have called.
After Qiu Lao changed into the clothes bought by the driver Xiao Chen, everyone came to the restaurant and took a seat.
"This restaurant is very simple!"
"How could Elder Jiang have thought of eating in this place?"
"Not surprisingly, once he asked us to go to the river to grill fish, but the fish didn't catch."
They were obviously disappointed with the non-distinctive restaurant environment, and they were generally skeptical about what they were going to eat tonight. But Li Jing didn't try to explain anything, and when the dishes were served, they would naturally change their opinions.
Of course, Li Jing didn't have time to wait on the sidelines, and he had to pass the food! First of all, the soup that has been stewed for a long time is served, and each table has a large plate, and the milky white soup exudes the fragrance of tempting taste buds, and the people chatting around the table can't help but hold their breath and become intent.
Without waiting for Li Jing's introduction, Jiang Lao said, "You guys are blessed!" 15 pounds of wild soft-shelled turtle pot old fire soup! Do it yourself, Li Jing can continue to serve the food, don't worry about us. ”
"Then please slow down." Li Jing said goodbye and continued to return to the kitchen, and the braised soft-shelled turtle was just out of the pot.
When he returned to the restaurant with the food, the scene was strange, no one spoke, and they all sucked Shushu's movements, and their faces were full of surprise, and they couldn't stop at all.
"It's delicious!" Jiang Lao's ten-year-old grandson's milky voice interrupted calmly.
The children didn't think much of it and thought it was delicious, but the adults couldn't find the words to describe it. Not only is it delicious, the taste buds are all filled, after the thick milky white soup enters the throat, the whole person is fluttering, and the feeling of ascending to the immortal is very comfortable.
They thought that Jiang Lao was bragging, but now that they tasted it, all doubts were thrown out of the sky the moment they entered. It's delicious, it's indescribable, anyway, let's put the second bowl dry first.
"Braised water fish." Li Jing shouted and served the first dish.
Liu Le's cooking skills are really good, the marinade is thick, fragrant and fresh and glutinous, and the fish pieces are burned to a golden color, which looks very attractive.
Jiang Lao first put a piece in his mouth, chewed it gently, and immediately swallowed the jujube. Although this water fish cost him nearly 10,000 yuan, it was too worth the money! He has eaten wild soft-shelled turtles, and fifteen catties of wild soft-shelled turtles are worth 10,000 yuan, but compared to this, he really can't catch up, Li Jing is simply wild in the wild.
"That's good!" Qiu Lao took a piece and ate it, and then sandwiched another piece.
"No one is robbing you, such a big plate! This stuff is too supplemental, be careful that there is nowhere to vent tonight. Jiang Lao teased, but the action of picking vegetables did not stop.
"Then I'll arrange it for Old Qiu?" The following middle-aged man said cheaply in a tone that all men understand.
"Wednesday you calf!" Qiu Ping immediately reprimanded him.
"This ...... Old Qiu, forget that your son is also here, next time, next time. The person who was called Wednesday said stupidly.
Li Jing didn't care about their bragging, put down the braised water fish and continued to return to the kitchen.
"It's okay to steam the carp, you turn on the steamer and bring out the dishes, wrap them in a cloth so as not to burn your hands." Liu Le commanded without raising his head.
Li Jing took out two plates of carp from the steamer according to his words, and Liu Le's sauce was just out of the pot, and it was poured on it hot.
Holding back his saliva, Li Jing took it out with a tray.
Boiled river prawns, boiled grass carp fillets, soybean stewed yellow and spicy dices in soy sauce, dry fried earthworms, stone pot yellow eel! The rest of the dishes were served on the table one after another, and finally a pot of yellow eel blood porridge, which is a real supplement. After serving two Gu, there were still two bowls left in the pot, which were divided by Liu Le and Li Jing one person and one bowl, and they were dried up in one breath while they were still hot, and they were still unfinished!
"You can catch some seafood and make a few dishes, and for our dinner, call Master Zhong too." Li Jing commanded.
"Just waiting for your words." Liu Le immediately ran out.
In the restaurant, Li Jing has a hot atmosphere every time he serves a dish, and even his usual image is thrown away, and the chopsticks are like gods. And Jiang Lao's little grandson was even more full of oil, and he didn't care about wiping it at all.
"I can't eat it!" Qiu Lao is very embarrassed now.
"Who let you eat so urgently, as if someone was robbing you." Jiang Lao ridiculed.
"Who knew every dish was so good." Qiu Lao was depressed, he ate too many dishes in the front, and he was weak in the back.
"It's okay, it's all fish, it's good for digestion, it's better to eat more." Jiang Lao was immeasurably instigated.
"Elder Jiang, don't be like this! Besides, eating too much can be uncomfortable, doesn't that spoil the deliciousness of these foods? Qiu Ping hurriedly dissuaded, just swallowing dates, and there was a piece of yellow eel meat stuffed in his mouth, chewy enough, I heard that it was also aphrodisiac! Take two more bites.
