Early the next morning, I first went to the night bar and handed over all the things I needed for the visa to Wang Xiaorui, who was supervising the work in the bar, before I changed my route to Chongming Island.

When I walked out of the night bar, I met a person who was both unexpected and expected - Wang Hui.

The former owner of this night bar was a lot haggard all night, although it was not as exaggerated as the deep sunken eye sockets, the pale skin and weak breath, but the whole person looked like he was lacking in energy, his eyes were red, his beard was unkempt, and it seemed that the lord should not have slept much last night.

When Wang Hui saw me, a flash of resentment flashed on his face, and after glancing at me, he turned his head and walked directly into the night bar behind him.

I didn't follow Wang Hui in, this guy can guess with his toes the purpose of coming here today, Bacheng is here to ask for a night bar, even if it is not this, it is estimated that it is similar to this matter. But the most troublesome thing for him is that he is not as good as Wang Xiaorui in terms of IQ or wrist, let alone relationships and backgrounds. When this guy went in, he was only driven out by Wang Xiaorui.

I took out my mobile phone and called up the route I found last night, and the fastest way to get to Chongming Island from the night bar is to take the subway, but I have to reverse the subway a few times. I followed the navigation to the subway station, bought a ticket and got on the subway, and after more than three hours, I came to Chongming Island.

After leaving the subway station, I made a phone call and got in touch with the owner of the farmhouse I had booked last night, and after standing in front of the subway station for more than ten minutes, a van stopped in front of me, and the passenger driver's window rolled down.

The middle-aged man sitting in the main driver's seat looked at me with a smile on his face, "Nong is Richard, I'm the owner of the Good Taste Farmhouse, and I just called you." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned sideways and opened the co-pilot's door for me. I took the opportunity to take a large number of him, with a Chinese face, very thick eyebrows, he didn't look like a person with bad thoughts, he was dressed very casually, dark red cotton short sleeves, medium pants, leather sandals.

I sat in the passenger seat, and the middle-aged man handed me a business card, "This is my business card." I had just come back from grocery shopping when you called me, and I came over directly, otherwise you would have to wait here for a while. Our farmhouse is still a little way from this metro station, so it's closer to get off at the next stop. ”

I glanced at the business card, Jin Ming, a very modest name.

After sitting in the car for more than ten minutes, I realized that this Jin boss is a restless master, this goods stepped on the accelerator while leaving the steering wheel with both hands, pointed to the big basket of vegetables and meat in the back seat and said to me with a smile: "See, this is the vegetable I bought, there is no vegetable market to buy, the vegetables are all freshly picked, you see that there is still mud on the roots." And in that bag, it's a free-range chicken, I'll kill one for you to taste at noon today. Chongming's free-range pheasants and white goats are the most famous. ”

I echoed and looked ahead, my heart beating to my throat, and I didn't think that the van, which looked close to being scrapped and made a tinkling sound even when driving on asphalt, would be able to ride smoothly with the driver's hands off the wheel.

More than half an hour later, I arrived at the door of the good taste farmhouse, said that it was a farmhouse, in fact, it was an ordinary two-story building, there was a big yard in front of the building, there were dogs, chickens, and more than a dozen white goats in the yard, if you ignore the taste, it was like a scene of a farmhouse.

The chef of the farmhouse is the wife of Boss Jin, a very simple country woman, who has been busy inside and out since the moment I arrived, and Boss Jin brought a chicken out after moving all the dishes into the kitchen, and held a kitchen knife in the other hand, sitting in the yard and smiling at me, "This is the free-range chicken, which I collected from the farmers, and the taste of the chicken you eat in the city is completely different." ”

As he spoke, Boss Jin shouted into the kitchen, "Wife, bring me a bowl out!" ”

The proprietress quickly came out with a bowl of water, and I thought to myself that it was similar to my side, and used the bowl with water to contain chicken blood. The earth dog in the yard seemed to know that his master was going to kill the chicken, so he came to Boss Jin and kept wagging his tail.

Many people don't know what it is, but in fact, the free-range chicken is a naturally free-range chicken, which grows in open spaces such as grasslands or woods, and eats generally grain, rice, various vegetable leaves, or leftover meals from farmers, as well as some small insects in nature, and chickens often move around, and the air quality is relatively high, so the muscle texture is firm and the taste is better.

On my side, free-range chickens are generally called local chickens.

Boss Jin is very skilled in killing chickens, after pulling out the hair on the chicken's neck, he picks up the kitchen knife and gently slashes it on the neck, and then quickly puts down the kitchen knife and presses the chicken in his hand with both hands to limit its struggle. Blood poured out of the wound, mostly in the bowl and a few on the ground. The earth dog on the side hurriedly lowered his head to lick the blood.

After waiting until the chickens stopped struggling, the proprietress on the side took away the bowl with the chicken's blood and brought a basin of hot water.

Boss Jin put the chicken in the hot water, plucked the feathers and smiled at the proprietress and said, "Wife, you go and take out the mutton in the refrigerator and thaw it first." I'll burn it later. ”

As he spoke, Boss Jin looked at me, "Like chickens, sheep are also my own white goats, authentic Chongming goats." The sheep that was just slaughtered the day before yesterday, and so on at noon to ensure that you say it is delicious. ”

Chongming goats are a special product bred under the specific water and soil conditions of Chongming County. It has the characteristics of medium to small size, strong physique, strong adaptability, high reproduction rate, and particularly delicious meat, and the official name is "Yangtze River Delta White Goat". In addition to the delicious meat, the goat hair is white and elastic, especially the neck and shoulder blades of the ram have a thick and long coat, which is a special high-quality raw material for making brushes, oil brushes and precision instrument brushes.

Like the free-range chicken, Chongming goat's meat is also one of the purposes of my visit to Chongming Island.

I smiled and nodded, and I had some expectations for this upcoming lunch, not because of Boss Jin's boastful craftsmanship and the so-called free-range chicken, admiring goats, but because of the simplicity of Boss Jin and his wife.

When it comes to eating, there are two things that can affect the mood, the same is the taste of the dish, and the same is the person at the same table. If you eat with someone who has the right appetite, you can still have a good mood even if the food tastes bad. On the contrary, eating with someone who has the wrong appetite, even if it is three Michelin stars, may not be comfortable.

Boss Jin and his wife are undoubtedly very appetizing to me. I have a natural affection for simple people.

I stood up and walked to the gate of the yard and took a photo by focusing the camera on Boss Jin, who was repairing chickens in the yard, and the proprietress who was scolding the earth dog with a bowl on the side.

Open the noodle garden, and talk about the wine.

I looked at the photo and said with a mental smile.
