Chapter 113: The Farmhouse (3)
When the vegetables in the entire courtyard became a small 'pile', Professor Wen stood up and motioned to Lu Xiancheng and said, "Xiao Lu, take a hand and send these dishes to the boat!" ”。
When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he naturally stood up, and even the lame man Shen and Lao Yang who were now staying in the courtyard, and even the two eldest ladies who came at the end also started to move.
There is a lot of strength in numbers, and soon these things were moved from the small courtyard to the ship.
Lu Xiancheng cautiously boarded the boat, and just now when he sat firmly on the bow of the boat, he heard someone on the shore shouting: "Wait! ”。
Following the voice, Lu Xiancheng saw the first few ladies who bought vegetables, that is, those who took the money but received the canned food, and now these people are either holding or hugging.
Waiting for them to walk in, Lu Xiancheng found that these people were all carrying baskets and cloth bags. When I got closer, I saw that I was either fresh corn on the cob or a basket of peanuts in season, or edamame or something, and everyone brought something anyway.
So everyone naturally turned over politely again.
Lu Xiancheng understood that this was the politeness of the peasant family, and he was unwilling to take other people's things for nothing. Looking at the hatch in the middle of the boat that was almost full of things, Lu Xiancheng felt that these plainly dressed peasant families were much more humane than the people in the city.
Professor Wen got on the boat, and when the old man arrived on the boat, he thanked the farmers on the shore from time to time, and in a polite voice, the boat left the shore and sailed towards the pasture.
When they arrived on the shore, it was naturally another busy job, and a group of graduate students and Lu Yao unloaded the full cabin of things together.
In addition to Professor Wen and Professor Xu, there are four graduate students here, and there are three or four in the small laboratory in the town, of course, it is impossible to call those few to come over for dinner after such a long journey.
Cooking here is not a matter of one or two people, but everyone works together, and there is no such thing as stir-frying. Eight people make small stir-fries, and everyone is not a professional chef, so I don't know when I will be able to eat.
Waiting for everything on the ship to be taken down and put in order, Professor Xu Guanping immediately began to assign tasks and said: "Who kills chickens, who boils water?" Who's the one who takes care of the dishes......
When Lu Xiancheng heard that he didn't want to do the job of killing chickens, it was better to boil water if it was too bloody, so he raised his hand between the lightning and flint: "I'll come!" ”。
Lu Yao looked left and right at this time and found that no one seemed to want to kill chickens. So he raised his hand and said, "Then I'll kill the chicken."
Hearing someone volunteer, Professor Xu said happily: "Someone finally did this work for me today."
Lu Xiancheng smiled when he heard this: "You did it before?" ”。
Professor Xu nodded happily: "It's all me, when these people eat chicken, one on top of two, but when it's their turn, people kill chickens faster than rabbits!" ”。
After speaking, he looked at Lu Xiancheng and asked, "You know how to burn an earthen stove, right?" ”。
"What's not going to happen here!" Lu Xiancheng thought for a while and said, he designed an earthen stove in the house in Shicheng Ranch, and also watched Zhang Yushan burn it once, Lao Lu didn't find much high technical content, so he naturally patted his chest and took over this pleasure.
Professor Xu clapped his hands when he heard this and said, "Then you are responsible for lighting the fire, Lao Wen, you continue to do your strong hand to pick up fish." For the rest, you can classify all these dishes and put them in my own category, and I'll go and make potstickers now."
After finishing speaking, he slapped his palms and snapped: "Hurry up and move, if we don't know what time we can eat this meal!" ”。
A group of graduate students immediately started to take care of the dishes as soon as the boss said this, Lu Yao took a knife and began to kill chickens, and Lu Xiancheng also walked to the earthen stove.
"How many kill?" Lu Yao, who was holding a knife, stood in front of seven or eight little roosters, and the unlucky people struggled in all directions, but unfortunately their feet were not tied together, and none of them left in the end when you went east and I went west.
"Just one. If you can't eat too much, it will go bad, and there is no refrigerator or anything here. You can't put leftovers, and every meal is good and clean. At noon, everyone worked hard to eat the fish."
As he spoke, Professor Xu had already taken out the basin and was about to make stick noodles.
As for Professor Wen, he carried a small bench and sat on the edge of the lake by himself, and began to collect the fish with a large rock by the lake.
Lu Xiancheng went into the kitchen, added water to the cauldron, covered the pot, and sat behind the pot counter with a small bench to prepare for the fire.
The kitchen is actually a simple shed, supported by four large bamboos, and some wheat stalks are built on top of the shed to keep out the rain, forming an irregular to ugly pyramid-shaped cone.
Lu Xiancheng pulled out a handful of wheat stalks from the pile of wheat stalks not far from him and returned to the back of the pot. He sat down and folded the straw in his hand, took out the lighter from his pocket, lit the straw, and sent it directly to the bottom of the pot.
Seeing that the straw was burning well, Lu Xiancheng reached out and took some of the dry branches next to him and put them in the belly of the stove, and after a while, he heard the crackling sound of the dry branches, and soon the dry branches also burned.
The two steps before and after are well done. gave Lao Lu a lot of confidence, and directly began to add firewood to the bottom of the stove, that is, the split wooden blocks that were a few centimeters wide and more than ten centimeters long, and Lu Xiancheng put them in.
Then Lao Lu was tragic, and soon what came out of the belly of the stove was not the heat of the flame, but the thick white smoke. While coughing, Lu Xiancheng held back his tears, wanting to see what was going on in his belly.
The situation on Lu Xiancheng's side soon attracted a graduate student, who came over with tears in his eyes and said, "Your firewood is too tight, and the fire is covered by you......."
While talking about this, he picked up the fire fork next to him and began to adjust the firewood that Lu Xiancheng placed in the belly of the stove, after he adjusted it, soon the white smoke stopped coming out, and the orange flames began to lick the bottom of the pot gently.
"Got it?" The graduate student put down the fire fork, looked at the flames at the bottom of the stove, and asked Lu Xiancheng.
“OK!” Lu Xiancheng took the fire fork and said that he figured it out, he was too blocked just now, the bottom of the stove was not ventilated, and there would naturally be no fire without oxygen, only white smoke. And this one is directly like this, a few firewoods are at the bottom, and the remaining firewood is obliquely placed on the firewood below, and the air circulates up and down, and it will naturally burn happily.
After holding the trick, Lu Xiancheng's work on his side was very smooth, and the water was boiled. Lu Yao's side immediately began to take advantage of the hot water to pluck the chicken feathers, originally Lu Xiancheng still wanted to go over to help, but the smell of the chicken feathers in the dry water really made Lao Lu uncomfortable, and the feet that had just stepped over retracted.
I didn't want to do it, so there was a group of people around Li Cai, and Lu Xiancheng had to go over to help Professor Wen deal with the fish.
"There's nothing going on here!" Professor Wen looked at Lu Xiancheng coming over. After saying a word, he walked towards the table with the big fish that had already broken his stomach.
When he arrived at the table, Professor Wen was very bold and picked up the knife to chop the fish segments, and the whole big fish was directly divided into small fish segments two or three finger widths by him.
Seeing that Professor Wen pointed to the stove to himself, Lu Xiancheng sat back behind the pot and prepared to continue his great cause of making fire.
Waiting for the pot to heat up, Lu Xiancheng stood up from behind the stove and watched Professor Wen cook the fish.
Professor Wen picked up a big spoon and poured a large spoonful of oil, turned around the middle of the pot and poured the oil into the pot, then picked up a piece of fish meat and passed it in the flour for a while, and put it in the oil pot. The whole big fish has gone into the pot,
After a while, Lu Xiancheng's nostrils were suddenly filled with the ubiquitous smell of fish.
When Professor Xu came to the pot, he asked Lu Xiancheng to boil the small pot next to him. In this way, while stir-frying chicken, you can burn stick noodles and fish slices potstickers. Not to mention anything else, just smelling this, Lu Xiancheng was a little drooling.
"You don't need to burn it, the firewood in the stove is almost burned, go wash your hands and prepare for dinner," Professor Wen said with a smile at Lu Xiancheng.
As soon as he heard about eating, Lu Xiancheng's stomach immediately rumbled.
Covering his stomach, Lu Xiancheng said embarrassedly: "I didn't eat in the morning!" ”。
Professor Wen smiled: "Even if you eat in the morning, you can't resist this temptation. You don't know. The first time I ate here, I almost didn't bite my tongue off, and we are used to antibiotics and feed. If you eat this again, you will immediately feel the difference in the sense of mouth, so let's wash your hands first, and you will know the difference later."
After listening to Professor Wen's words, Lu Xiancheng washed his hands honestly, and when he finished washing, he found that a group of graduate students had already put chopsticks and everything on the table.
Now the only dish is stir-fried chicken nuggets with green peppers. Of course, there are no beautiful plates in this place, all of them are stainless steel basins that are resistant to falling, and the smallest opening is as big as the mouth of the old Lu family's previous sea bowl, and the whole green pepper chicken nuggets can only cover the bottom of the bowl when put into it.
Although it tastes good, this stir-fried chicken nuggets with green peppers is not aesthetic at all. The chicken is a little black after being colored with soy sauce, and the green peppers are nothing to say, and the fried ones are a little wilted.
There are eight more of the same bowls on the table, each with a pair of chopsticks. This eating frame couldn't help but remind Lu Xiancheng of the scene of the previous bandit gathering on TV, and he couldn't wait to eat with a jar.
Just when Lu Xiancheng was surprised that this gang of people ate guys so much, a bigger guy appeared.
"Come on!"
With Professor Wen's shout, a stainless steel basin has appeared on the table, this guy is simply a basin, as soon as he saw this thing, Lao Lu remembered the guy who ate in Erha, and Lao Lu didn't expect that he would also make the guy eat in Erha one day.
The whole basin was full of fish, like a mountain of small meat. Then another small basin was served, and inside was a roasted golden stick dough, and a third of the pie was hung with fish soup under each cake!
"Let's eat!" Professor Wen first picked up a piece of cake, then picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it in a bowl, opened his mouth and swallowed the cornmeal cake.
Lu Xiancheng was also really hungry, and as soon as he heard that he would be polite when he heard where to eat, he immediately picked up a piece of cornmeal cake and sent it to his mouth.
The cornmeal cake tastes delicious, but when you swallow it, it rubs against your throat like a grain of sand.
"Dip it in fish broth!" Lu Yao looked at his boss who was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help reminding.
Hearing this, Lu Xiancheng immediately picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of fish soup for himself, and after taking a sip, he couldn't help but praise Professor Wen: "It's so fresh!" ”。
Professor Wen said happily: "Eat fish again!" ”。
Lu Xiancheng took a bite of the fish and put it in his mouth, and immediately noticed the difference, this fish may be because the fish is big, and it is a little thick at first taste, but it is not unpalatable but has a bit of a tendony feeling, and when you chew it again, it will be different, with a soft and soft fish fragrance, the more you chew it in your mouth, the more fragrant it is, and there is no fishy smell at all.
What's even more delicious is that the fish is wrapped in flour, and after being fried in the pan, the flour is mixed with the fish skin, and the freshness is slightly salty, and the taste seems to be more delicious than the fish.
And such a large fish bone is also very large, it is very easy to eat, a piece of large fish meat in the mouth, chewing such a time or two of fish meat and fish bones 'natural' separate.
After a few bites, Lu Xiancheng had no intention of praising others, and directly buried his head in eating, and these people who were also around the table were the same as Lao Lu.
Eight people, a fish of almost thirty pounds was left with only a skeleton in the end, and there was such a small pot of soup that was almost bottomed out, as for the chicken that was not 'good-looking', I didn't know whose mouth it was, and there were only a few corn tortillas and a pot of black green peppers left on the whole table. (To be continued.) )
PS: Three more to ask for a monthly pass! I'm looking for a transition in the past few days, trying to make the transition to the past as soon as possible. I hope that friends who have votes can vote for arbitrariness, thank you here in advance!
