Chapter 116: Drinking (Part 2)
After chatting for a while, the old woman brought the dishes to her. There are a lot of prey hunted today, and each dish is mainly rabbit or chicken. The first one is a pot of pheasant stewed mushrooms, and the two tender chickens are selected, and the mushrooms are cultivated by the village chief's family himself, as well as wild mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms on the mountain. Two chickens stewed in a large pot full of aroma, saying that after saying it for so long, everyone has already been hungry, and someone's stomach growls a few times. The village chief started as soon as he started, all of them were the big bosses in the village, and no one was polite, he threw off the chopsticks one by one, and a large basin entered everyone's stomachs in a moment.
Zhang Taiping just asked Wang Peng to go to beat ten catties of bulk Lao Baigan, at this time there is no effort to give everyone a little, there are not so many wine glasses in the house, so it is eclectic, everyone is a bowl, first give a full bowl, how much at will, but such a bowl is the minimum, you can drink more when you drink fast.
No one will steal and play tricks when drinking in the village, unlike the people in the city who are not cheerful enough and always push. Here, hehe, no one is willing to spend money on alcohol to drink, and who wants to drink more. The bigger the bowl, the more refreshing and interesting. In the winter, sitting around the kang, eating meat and drinking wine in large bowls, I just want to get it, which is the favorite of the people in the village.
When one basin is finished, remove the basin and bring another basin to the top. This time, it was not chicken or rabbit meat, but a large meat made up by the village chief, and stewed with radish. It is known as the radish ginseng in winter, stewed together with large meat, boiled for a while until soft, which is both nourishing and delicious, and is the most nutritious and oily food at home in winter.
This time there was no hurry, everyone drank and ate at the same time, and the large jar of white dry that they bought quickly went down halfway. There is not a single person here who does not know how to drink, and they are all big wine jars.
There is a small pot of rabbit meat that is served in a row, and there are a lot of spicy seeds in it, and the color is bright red.
Only Wang Peng, Zhang Taiping and a young man were young, and the others were in their thirties. Wang Peng saw the rabbit fried beans on the table, and immediately picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and the village chief didn't stop it, but the smile on his face was a little weird.
Sure enough, Wang Peng just put it in his mouth and chewed it twice before he spit it out, opened his mouth and fanned it with his hand, and the person next to him handed over a bowl of white wine, and he poured it without looking at it. It's terrible, the spicy energy is rinsed with soju is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and it is even more spicy and burning, from the lips to the throat and into the stomach, like a fireball rolling by, hot and hot. Tears and snot immediately flowed uncontrollably, as if I wanted to cry so sadly.
Wang Peng couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and rushed into the kitchen.
The old woman saw him and said, "Wang Peng, what's wrong?" What are you crying about? ”
Wang Peng pointed to his open mouth, panting loudly and unable to speak. The old woman understood what was going on, and quickly scooped up a scoop of water and handed it to him. A few mouthfuls of water were poured to relieve the pain. I took a few more sips of water and took a sip in my mouth, and the hot feeling was not obvious. Washed his face and came out of the kitchen, still with a mouthful of water in his mouth.
The reaction of everyone to Wang Peng when they took a bite of this dish was so terrible, and a few pairs of chopsticks that had been stretched out were taken back, and they all looked at the old village chief, what is going on?
The old village chief laughed when he saw everyone's reactions, took a pair of chopsticks and said with bright red rabbit meat, "Have you seen this red?" It's not a pigment, it's the color of a chili pepper. This is a real Chaotian pepper, don't look at it just a little, this color is bright red, and it is full of spiciness. It's what we call 'spicy people don't pay for their lives', people who can't eat spicy people don't use chopsticks, hehe, otherwise Wang Peng's anxious ghost will look like a ghost. ”
Hearing this, some people put their hearts at ease, carefully put a chopstick in their mouth to taste, and some people felt that they had put down their chopsticks. Zhang Taiping added a chopstick and put it in his mouth, which is indeed rare and spicy, but Zhang Taiping likes to eat spicy, so naturally the spicier the better.
People who eat spicy food sweat one by one, plus the liquor in the stomach, the stomach is like a fire burning, it is really a supreme enjoyment in this winter. People who don't eat spicy food can only watch people who eat spicy food feasting, and they want to try chopsticks, but Wang Peng's experience is really scary, and he can only drink wine.
Wang Peng came out of the kitchen with a mouthful of water in his mouth, stopped eating or drinking, and sat on the side to stop.
Then the old lady brought a pot of two tea boiled rabbits, as well as a large bowl of garlic paste and sauce vinegar spicy sauce, and did not need to move chopsticks, directly tore off a piece of garlic paste and juice and dipped it in the juice to eat, which is not greasy and can arouse people's appetite, and has a unique flavor.
Zhang Taiping tore two pieces and then stopped and asked the village chief, "What's the matter with that chili pepper just now?" ”
"That pepper, I planted some peppers a few years ago, but I didn't expect two of them to be different from others, not the common line spicy ones we have here, but a short sharp corner, but don't look at the little spicy taste but didn't say it, I left some seeds from these two trees, and every year in the past few years, I will plant some and collect some seeds. Why, the handsome man also wants to plant some? I'll just give you some seeds later. ”
Zhang Taiping nodded: "I really want to plant some, and this is also a business opportunity." ”
Everyone is now a little sensitive to what Zhang Taiping said about the way to make money, and when they heard this, they all stopped what they were doing, and listened carefully.
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Then let's talk about it, what is the business opportunity method." ”
"We're still in the mountains, there are too many fakes in the city now, and I'm sure everyone has seen them in the town. The spicy ones sold were all mixed with things, and anyway, they were either wheat husks or corn husks. A real high-quality spicy product like this is both spicy and colorful, and it can be sold for dozens or even hundreds of yuan per catty. And spicy peppers are suitable for growing in arid sandy soil, which is just right for us here. ”
Everyone was thinking about the feasible surnames for this, when the old woman brought in a pot of chickens and rabbits, and scolded with a smile: "I'm talking about this again, and I can't have a good meal." ”
The old village chief replied: "Go, go, what do you know about an old woman?" Then he raised the wine bowl and said, "Come and make a bowl of everyone, as much as you like." It seems that there are business opportunities everywhere, as long as you dare to do it, you can make money. "Everyone picked up the bowl and walked away.
Then I was attracted by the aroma in the basin. "Smoked!" Wang Lao Gun screamed, and then unceremoniously opened the arrest.
It turned out that the pot was Old Man Qian's specialty "smoked chicken". Let's just say that the old man Qian went out for a while just now, and it turned out that he was busy in the kitchen.
Old man Qian's "smoked chicken" is famous in the village. First, pour half a pot of water into the pot and put the ingredients in it. There are Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, and thirteen spices of various flavors, which will be made into a pot of soup, and then put rice and slightly better tea leaves in it. Then the processed pheasant and rabbit are placed on a wooden plate, sitting on top of the soup, covering the pot, and grilling on high heat under the pot. From time to time, a knife is used to make a few cuts on the thick part of the meat to let the steam smell inside.
The aroma was attractive, and even though they had eaten almost enough, everyone still couldn't help but feast and scramble. Ten catties of white work will be over in a while, and everyone is still unsatisfied.
Old man Qian went over to pour wine, but only poured out a few drops: "Good guy, it's gone after drinking so quickly." Then he turned to the old village chief and said, "Lao Wang, there is no wine, go and take out the jars of wine you treasure, and don't hide it." ”
The old village chief said with a bitter face: "You just think about my jars of treasures, and you won't stop until you drink them all." That being said, he got up and walked towards the backyard. There is a cellar in the backyard, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is a good place to store things, such as the frost-resistant artichoke and red lettuce are placed here, and the temperature inside is neither frozen nor reaches the temperature of germination, and it can be stored until next spring. The wine of the village chief is kept in this cellar. There are not a few families in the village who have this kind of cellar, and Zhang Taiping also has one at home, but he hasn't gone down for several years, and he hasn't put anything in it.
Wang Gui also went out, but he wanted to go down to the cellar and bring the jar up from below.
Moved up and patted the mud seal on it, uncovered the sealed kraft paper, and a rich aroma of wine overflowed, seducing the wine worms in the stomach one by one, making people can't help but sniff. Zhang Taiping is also a good wine, such a good wine with a strong aroma, but it is rare to can't help it, he blushes his nose hard, and his face shows an intoxicated expression.
Wang Gui picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for everyone, and even Wang Peng, who had never drunk again, came with a bowl. Pick up the wine bowl and shake it gently, the diffuse wine breath is inhaled through the nose, and I suddenly feel that my lungs are shaken, and my mind is clear when I take a long breath.
Good wine can't be drunk, you have to taste it slowly, otherwise you can't even taste it if you pour it directly like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. Take a sip, the dark red and translucent liquid rolls down the throat, it is a fruit wine made from wild fruits in the mountains, the surname is not strong, it is long and long, and there is a faint sweet fruit flavor. Swallow it, your mouth will be fragrant, and the aftertaste will be endless!
Zhang Taiping took a sip and poured the remaining half bowl directly into his mouth, and then quickly poured the second bowl, but he didn't expect that Old Man Qian was already drinking the second bowl, smiling like a fox, and sure enough, the ginger was still old and spicy. The second bowl is savored in a short time, there are many people, and it is definitely not enough to pour two bowls per person, so you can drink one more bowl if you drink fast, and you can only drink one bowl if you drink slowly.
The second bowl Zhang Taiping tasted carefully, and couldn't help but sigh that his own brewing is delicious, and it seems that he has to brew more when it is time to pour it.
