Chapter 120: Invite Uncle He
When Huang Xiaoqiang heard this, his heart let go, it seems that the old man is indeed lonely when he stays here, and people who are really capable are like swords in a box, and they will be self-resonant after a long time, because they are unwilling in their hearts. The old man is a treasure, but he has been in the box for a long time, and now he has met Huang Xiaoqiang, he can also feel the respect of this young man for him, so he finally decided to go out of the mountain to take charge of the apprentices, first, to realize his own value, and secondly, to help this young man, to give this young man's career his own strength!
"Uncle, you are old, this time you go out, but you have to work hard, can you afford it?" Qi Zhenghe asked.
"It's okay, I'm in good health, and it's better to die of exhaustion than to wait for death, I knew that this kid would definitely come to me, and in the past two days, the Qi family boy, today I will cook the last meal at home, let's sit together, and thank you for taking care of the old man for so many years!" The old man said, "You go and kill a chicken, catch two fish, catch two catties of shrimp, dig a lotus root, pull a few radish, and get all kinds of fresh vegetables and vegetables, and I'll make some pastries here first." Let's have two drinks today! ”
Qi Zhenghe agreed, led us through a small round gate, and entered a vegetable garden of nearly two acres, which was planted with various fruit trees and vegetables; dig a large fish pond with fish and shrimp, as well as pigs, chickens and sheep; There is also a glass greenhouse where out-of-season vegetables are grown, and a dark room where various fungi are cultivated. All kinds of ingredients are available!
"This is all Uncle He's single-handed, he always dislikes the things on the market are not clean, saying that they are basically soaked in pesticides, my vegetables here, Uncle He takes care of them every day, completely green and organic, plus Uncle He's amazing craftsmanship, the dishes are made that is called a fragrant, I don't usually eat out now, the kind of food in the hotel in the city, there is no way to compare with me here!" Qi Zhenghe's tone was full of pride, and then said in a regretful tone, "It's a pity, now my little happiness is about to be gone, I knew that it was to lure the wolf into the house at that time, I wouldn't have asked you to come to the house as a guest, now it's okay, the old man was taken away by you, I really regret it!" ”
"Qi Bureau, you can't say that, we are the younger generations, we can't watch an old man lonely and sad in his old age, now the old man exudes residual heat, reflects his own value, this is the first, and you often come to Sheep Village in the future, we will not be this ordinary vegetables and vegetables in the future, the table of rare things from the mountains and seas, you also have a mouthful!" Huang Xiaoqiang knew that Qi Zhenghe was still a little reluctant in his heart, after all, he had lived with this old man for so long and had deep feelings, even if the old man had no skills, as a person, he was a little reluctant!
"Either way, no matter what! In the future, the old man will pass, you take care of him, try to let him guide the apprentices to do it, don't let him be too tired, after all, the ten-year-old man, no matter how good his health is, he can't bear it! ”
"You must rest assured at this point, the old man is also an elder I respect, how can I bear to exhaust him!"
"Your team in Qingyuan Town, I am still relieved, after this period of contact, the people are quite good!" Qi Zhenghe, wearing long rain boots, went down to the pond to dig lotus roots, and said, "It's winter soon, and these lotus roots should also be cleared, otherwise they will rot inside!" As soon as the old man left, he had to call a few villagers to clean up the vegetable garden, and I didn't have too much to do here alone, and I guess I wouldn't be too lazy to come back in the future! Qi Zhenghe's words were very sluggish, and he also turned his head to look at Li Xiaotong who was picking vegetables, of course Li Xiaotong didn't look over, he didn't bother to look at him.
"You are now in the prime of life, continue the strings, and the family will be popular?"
"Xiaoqiang, don't think that the people who do administration are vulgar people, I am still very particular about politics and life, this is by no means a pair of cattle and horses with ploughing and ploughing, this is the life of a living person, you have to love each other, have a taste, if you can't do this, I might as well be a widower alone!" Unexpectedly, Qi Zhenghe, who looks a bit scummy on the outside, is not sloppy about life at all, such a person is probably not a greedy person, but this Li Xiaotong is probably very disappointed in married life, and secondly, he is too deeply poisoned by Huang Xiaoqiang, so he feels that this person is a little disgusting!
Everyone worked together, and after a while, they packed up the ingredients, handed them over to the old man, cleaned up the tables and chairs, added wine and returned to the lamp, and after waiting for a while, the dishes began to be served. The dishes are just boiled fish, sweet and sour carp, large plate of chicken, braised chicken wings, autumn lotus root stuffed with five flowers, celery fried meat, ants on the tree, etc., but each one comes up, it is full of aroma, which greatly maintains the original fragrance of the ingredients, it is just fragrant in the mouth, not greasy at all, Huang Xiaoqiang eats without raising his head, although he is poor, but he has a good buddy beard Hu Yusan, and with Huang Xiaoqiang, he can be regarded as eating all over Qinchuan, but he has never eaten such a delicious meal! He didn't care about eating at all, just eating, and after a while, he felt a bulge in his stomach, then he raised his head and saw Li Xiaotong looking at him stupidly, Qi Zhenghe smiled silently, and Old Man He smiled: "Xiaoqiang, this kid, is really a lover!" ”
"Hehe, I don't know how to take care of food at all, you are eating so much that you scare everyone!" Li Xiaotong said with a smile.
"It was so delicious! I've never had such a delicious meal! Huang Xiaoqiang smacked his lips, still unfinished.
"Come on, let's take one, I have something to say, old man!"
Everyone picked up their glasses, touched them, and drank them all.
"Qi family boy, I have to thank you, old man! For so many years, you have not given up, take care of the old man's food and clothing, originally planned to cook a delicious meal for you here, and this life is just it, who knows that he met Xiaoqiang such a kid, what he said, but also aroused the desire of the old man's heart, this bit of craftsmanship is the ancestors learned with great difficulty, if it is broken from my hands, it is a pity, just they want to do such a thing, can cook for the world to eat, it is also a little wish of the old man, in this process, find a few good qualifications, hand over this ability, Only when the old man dies can he go to see his ancestors properly! I'll drink one! ”
The old man picked up his glass and drank it all. continued: "Xiaoqiang, I have to thank you too! It is you who aroused the wish in my heart, and I was old enough to provide me with such an opportunity to pass on my craftsmanship and let the world eat the dishes I cooked. I'll drink another one! ”
The old man picked up his glass and drank it all again! Continued: "For the third cup, I thank my ancestors! Thank you to them for passing on their craft! I also ask my ancestors to forgive me for my incompetence as a junior, and I didn't even renew an incense for them! This is my unfilial piety! The old man's eyes were very strong, he picked up a cup, respectfully sprinkled it on the ground, picked up another cup, and drank it all!
This last one came out, and everyone was a little sad in their hearts, the old man was lonely all his life, and he had no descendants, which was indeed a great tragedy in life!
"Uncle, don't be too sad in your heart, in other words, one day as a teacher and a father for life, you will look at the good seedlings of good character, love and filial piety, and pass on your skills to him, and you will have a future! Any art is alive, cooking is half of your life, passing on cooking skills, you will pass on half of your life to your apprentice, so the apprentice is no different from your own child! Huang Xiaoqiang searched his intestines and scraped his stomach to find an excuse and comforted the old man.
"Yes, yes, yes! This doll is just smart! Your words also unraveled a knot in the old man's heart! Come on, come on, I'll toast you! When the old man heard this, the dark clouds on his face dispersed, and he was immediately happy! In fact, since ancient times, those who can't have children, such as monks and Taoists, pay attention to passing on the mantle, which is not only the inheritance of thought, psychologically speaking, the apprentice who passes on the mantle, that is a lonely old man who passed on his life to the apprentice, and the apprentice is naturally the same as his own! No wonder there was such a deep relationship between master and apprentice in ancient times!
"It should be that I respect you for your old age! The kid is not filial, you are so old, you have to trouble you to go out of the mountain, make a pillar for what we do, and disturb your old age Qingfu! This cup of boys to you! Huang Xiaoqiang and the old man touched each other's glasses and drank them all.
Everyone gradually brought wine, and their feelings were high, while tasting delicious dishes, while talking about the future future of the Yangshi project.
"Ten days later, our restaurant and the medical hall opened at the same time, and then invited Secretary Niu to cut the ribbon, this time our top pillars, but they are all super-first-class experts, the main spoon of the restaurant, is our imperial chef heir He Laobo, the chief doctor of the medical hall is our senior sister Xue Jian of the medicine farmer valley, of course, my senior brother Du Zhong will come out later, before our special breeding project is launched, these two are our sharp weapons! Once the restaurant has a reputation, and the medical hall has a reputation, we will be completely out! At this point, what do you think of Qi Bureau and Li Zhen? Huang Xiaoqiang said smugly about his plan.
"A smart person in the world has ten heads, and he is not as good as your kid's head! In the history of our Qinchuan City, only you Qingyuan Town have tossed so once, no one would have thought that it was you, a hairy young man who had not even completed the internship period, who was picking up this thing, and you were also the right time, place and people, you looked, in terms of funds, you have the big tree of Hu Jiahua, and their son is personally in charge of Yangshi Company; On the political zhì, Secretary Niu has a hundred supports! Now in terms of talents, your kid is a master of the medicine farmer valley, and he dug a big tree from me, and Li Xiaoyao, the boss of Henggu Center, is also so concerned about your career! I don't know what your fate is, such a blessed star? ”
