Chapter 17 A Tour of the Mountain Village

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you." For the elderly, Li Minhao has always been very respectful, Li Minhao brought gifts, a winter coat, the price is not too expensive, Nier's request, a basket of fresh fruits, some meat, a box of high-end fresh Korean beef.

Most of the Korean beef supply depends on foreign countries, and the price of Korean beef has always been higher than that of foreign countries, especially every Korean cow needs to be identified before slaughtering, and the price of the highest grade beef even reaches more than 100,000 kilograms or even a little higher, especially the high-end gift box even more than one million.

Li Minhao didn't have such luxury, he chose ordinary Korean beef, but it was more than 30,000 pounds, and the meat quality was quite good. Even so, Grandma Ginnier was still a little excited to see the beautifully packaged beef gift box, the gift was too precious. As for fish and shrimp, there is no shortage here, except for some precious marine fish, there are some rivers in the mountains, and there are not many fish and shrimp in the water.

"You're so polite, Nier, please sir." Grandma carefully held the gift box, Li Minhao was still a little unaccustomed, Nier held the fruit basket in one hand, and helped the old man with the other hand to turn around and grimace at Li Minhao. Li Minhao carried some daily necessities and walked into the yard with his grandmother. Ordinary small yard, not big, some damaged, Li Minhao asked Nier when he came, the car brought materials, and planned to repair some houses.

Passing by the village, there is a square pavilion with a black tile surface, you can imagine seven or eight old people sitting cross-legged there in summer, chatting in the cool weather, and in winter, they can make tea and watch the snow. In fact, in Korean villages, pavilions are very common, and every village has them, square or round, with hanging legs, and wooden planks on them. When you enter the pavilion, you have to take off your shoes, and you can rest in it, sit or lie down, very casually.

It's just that it's colder outside in winter, and there aren't many people in the village who seem to be very deserted, just like in China, most of the young Koreans go out to work, and most of the old people in the mountain villages. Li Minhao looked around curiously, the traffic here was relatively closed, and there was only a narrow road. Li Minhao walked into the yard and looked at the small courtyard, the yard was very clean, there were five or six jars on one side of the yard, Li Minhao thought that this is the must-have kimchi and pickled pickle jar for every Korean family. There were red peppers and corn hanging on both sides of the doors and windows, and Li Minhao actually felt like he had come to the home of a villager in the Northeast. The roof of the house is tiled in black, giving it a dignified and historic look. One of the houses is made of gray and earthy yellow tiles, which is very natural. The pattern of the walkway and gatehouse in front of the door is full of ancient atmosphere, solemn and magnificent. There was also something on the side that looked like a man's door number written on a stone stele.

"This is the aristocratic courtyard that Niel is talking about." The atmosphere is full of antiquity, but it is a little dilapidated, and it is a good place to repair it, Li Minhao likes it a little, and no one disturbs the quiet. took off his shoes and entered the house, warm, and sat down with Li Minhao's plate.

"Grandma, you don't have to be so polite, I'll come." When Li Minhao saw the old man carrying water and pouring tea, he was a little reluctant to go, so he got up to help, but he didn't expect the old man to insist on refusing.

"Sit, sir." Li Minhao regretted a little that he shouldn't have lied that he was Teacher Nier, how could he have forgotten at that time that he really respected teachers in this country.

"Grandma, Brother Minhao is very nice and easy-going, don't be busy, let's pour the water ourselves." Jinnier helped her grandmother sit down, and the old man patted Jiniel angrily.

"It's so rude." The old man has lived in the city for a while, and he has more knowledge than ordinary Korean civilians, but he pays too much attention to etiquette, Li Minhao and Nier persuaded for a while, and the old man was relieved to see Li Minhao treating Nier like a sister.

Li Minhao breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know how to face Grandma Nier, Li Minhao had a feeling of facing the dean's grandmother. It's really weird, it's a little more relaxed, Li Minhao looked around with Nier, this place is not much different from ordinary Chinese countryside. There was a chicken coop and a pyre on the edge of the yard, Li Minhao and Jin Nier walked to the chicken coop, Xiao Hei followed, and Nier hugged her.

"Grandma asked us to catch chickens, brother, have you ever caught chickens?" Jinnier stole a glance at the chicken coop, looking at Li Minhao with big eyes full of hope.

Li Minhao smiled bitterly, really no, Li Minhao has lived in the urban welfare institute since he was a child, and the dean's grandmother has raised chickens, but those chickens are used to lay eggs to supplement the nutrition of his younger brothers and sisters, and at most they only raise three. The dean's grandmother is very precious, and Li Minhao, a little troublemaker, is forbidden to approach.

Jinnier was a little disappointed, this girl was a little afraid of the chicken, and she didn't dare to enter the chicken coop, Li Minhao saw it. "Niel, you're watching from outside, I'll go in and catch a chick out."

Li Minhao was a little nervous, but he didn't expect a spy with human life in his hands to be afraid of a few chickens now. It's really something that no one believes when you say it.

"Brother, have you caught it?" Ginnier was a little anxious, if Grandma saw that she asked her brother to catch chickens, she would definitely say herself. Li Minhao is chasing a little rooster, the chicken coop is too dark, this chick is very dexterous, Li Minhao didn't expect that his original skills had regressed so much, you must know that his body in the past was extremely flexible.

"This body really needs to be exercised." Li Minhao sighed helplessly, and Jinnier jumped in directly with Xiao Hei in her arms. There was a burst of chickens flying and dogs jumping, a man, a girl and a dog, and finally caught a little rooster.

"Hahaha, brother, your face is so dirty." Just out of the chicken coop, Nier pointed at Li Minhao and laughed, on the other side Li Minhao saw that Nier's whole little face was black, and the whole coal kiln You drilled out of the little black girl, Li Minhao couldn't help laughing.

The two frolicked and washed their faces, as for the chicken killing work, the two of them were completely wide-eyed, Li Minhao was not afraid of killing chickens, and he didn't know how to deal with the problem.

"Hehe, Nier, you go to my brother's house to rest." Grandma saw Li Minhao and Nier holding kitchen knives, pushing and pushing each other, funny, and smiled and took the kitchen knife in Nier's hand.

Li Minhao blushed a little, he really didn't do this. "Grandma, can I take a look here?" Li Minhao wants to learn how to kill chickens, but next time he can't be so embarrassed.

"Grandma, my brother is a chef, and he will cook a lot of delicious dishes." When Ginelle talked about eating, her stomach growled, her little face was bitter, she ate too early in the morning, and she was hungry after sitting in the car for so long.

And when Lee Min Ho was learning the magic of killing chickens, a villa in the wealthy area of Seoul was having a lively party, and the winter chill did not seem to disturb this lively villa.

In the hall, more than a dozen young people sat on comfortable sofas, holding red wine in their hands, smiling and talking about topics of interest.

"I didn't expect our Minhao to be so infatuated." Lee Quincy smiled and pointed to the magazine, looking at Lee Min Ho with a look of appreciation on Kim Tae-hee. Li Quincy is Li Minhao's cousin, of course, the two have not had much contact, and Li Minhao doesn't like Li Quincy a little.

"Hmph, for the sake of just an artist, take great pains, it's really capable." The corners of Li Meizhen's mouth showed sarcasm, for this cousin, Li Meizhen has not been very kind to this cousin since she was a child, especially the stubborn surname, of course, Li Minhao's surname is not stubborn, and he doesn't have much attitude towards this cousin who doesn't like him.

"Lee Min-ho is really a good son, I don't know how Chairman Lee Jae-seok is feeling at this time." Deng Mingshu is the youngest here, he is relatively gloomy, and he speaks with a hint of yin.

"I don't know how President Lee Jae-seok is, Deng Mingshu, are you very happy, your cousin has done a good thing to make you happy." Li Mingxin said with a hint of sarcasm, although he didn't like Li Minhao's cousin very much, he was even more unhappy with Deng Mingshu, a small boy.

"What are you talking about, Min Ho, this kid ran away from home for an artist and made such a big incident, Chairman Lee Jae-seok will punish him well. As for this, I just hope that no one will get involved. Li Minkun's sharp gaze swept over everyone, as the leader of the third generation of the family.

Li Minkun doesn't like to make some unsightly things in the family, as for the struggle for family rights, Li Minkun has no ability to intervene and will not intervene, but in the affairs of the younger generation, Li Minkun has the greatest right to speak, at least no one dares to disobey it now. It's just that everyone doesn't know that Li Minkun persuaded Li Minhao not to make trouble, but Li Minhao didn't seem to listen.

Li Minkun spoke, and no one was willing to touch this mold anymore, but Deng Mingshu sneered in his heart. Lee Min-ho's incident this time is definitely a great opportunity, and Chairman Lee Jae-seok's position is in jeopardy. At the same time, after Lee Jae-seok exerted strong pressure, the media did not continue to report Lee Min-ho's information.

This sensational scandal only existed for a morning and dissipated, of course, it was just that the media shut up, but many people with a heart still noticed the change in things, and they were a little more curious about Li Minhao, a mysterious person. And the scandalous male pig's feet Li Minhao is trying to pluck chicken feathers, I didn't expect that killing chickens is so time-consuming and laborious, the chicken feathers must be scalded with hot water, and Ha wants to pluck the chicken feathers when his hands are hot, otherwise the water is cold and it is not easy to pull out.

Li Minhao and Nier, you are a hand, I am a hand, Nier blows her little hands from time to time. "Nier, you go and help grandma prepare the ingredients, I'll pull it out."

Li Minhao was a little distressed when he saw the little girl's hands burning red. "No, grandma wants me to help, otherwise grandma will say mine, brother hurry up, the water will be cold for a while, and the chicken feathers can't be pulled out, brother, come on."

"Come on." One big and one small, plus a small black dog and a little white rabbit on a leash, squatting in the yard and trying to pluck chicken feathers, the winter chill seemed to be dispelled by hot water, and the hot foreheads of the two people were covered with beads of sweat.

Li Minhao and Jinnier were busy for a while, and when they were about to pluck out the chicken feathers, Li Minhao walked into the kitchen with the good chickens. This is still a traditional stove, a stove with wood fire, and Li Minhao saw a lot of ingredients and seasonings on the table next to it.

Jinnier just secretly told Li Minhao that grandma is going to make ginseng chicken soup is delicious, Jinnier is a little drooling when she speaks, ginseng chicken soup is a very famous dish, it is widely loved by people for its simple method and fragrant taste. For female surnames, eating ginseng chicken soup has many benefits, which can nourish, maintain health, beautify, and remove dryness, and at the same time, you don't have to worry about gaining weight.

Lee Min Ho wants to learn how to make this famous Korean dish and help his grandmother get started. The ginseng chicken soup method is not complicated, glutinous rice, chestnuts, and ginkgo seeds are stuffed into the belly of the chicken, and an appropriate amount of water, ginseng, deer antlers, red dates and seasonings are added, and the heat is slow. Grandma told Li Minhao that because of the traditional method, he needed to simmer for four or five hours. This soup is not served until the evening, and at noon Lee Min Ho drinks the traditional Korean miso soup, which is made with beef, chili, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, onions, and minced green onions and garlic.

Drinking this soup in the winter is delicious, barbecue, miso soup, and corn kimchi pancakes, Li Minhao's appetite is bulging.
