Chapter 70: Gathering and Laughing Together

When the old man's boat arrived at the dock, he didn't see too many people coming to greet him, only the head of the Zhang and Wang families, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, Li Xun also came to join in the fun, and there were more than a hundred guards, adding up to less than two hundred.

There was no such thing as organizing the people and organizing all the people in the yamen to come out to greet them, nor did they beat gongs and drums, let alone set off any firecrackers.

As the old man waited for the ship to come up, he observed some houses built not too far from the wharf, neat and orderly, people moving things back and forth, what seemed to be warehouses, and looking farther with clairvoyance, you could see the houses.

There were several erected bamboo houses, with a front yard and a backyard, and the courtyards were built in an orderly manner, and it was noon, and there was no cooking smoke, only a few ducks wandering in the courtyard, and you could see some vegetables planted in the front yard, and some grape shelves.

The wharf divided three roads leading to the distance, planted some flowers and trees on the side of the road, the tree is still small, it should be transplanted later, carefully distinguish it is a kapok tree, it is not the right time to come, it is too small, otherwise you can see a fiery red scenery.

Just looking at it this way, no one can imagine that this place was hit by a flood and a typhoon at the same time a few months ago, and basically all the places were washed away, and when passing through Lianzhou, there were still overgrown weeds on the shore, and the stones and wood that were washed down were mixed with the mud, and they were all over the place.

"Grandpa, it's so beautiful here, there are wind chimes on the pillar of the pier, this is Luzhou? It is said that this side is not good, it looks good, the sky is blue and the water is blue, the floating clouds are accompanied by birds, the fishing boat is alas, the waves return to the tide, the bamboo buildings stand side by side, the ducks chirp, and the life here must be good. ”

Xin'er was also attracted by the scenery everywhere, especially the flowers and plants on the side of the road, the flowers were still blooming, the sea breeze was blowing, trembling slightly, it was not at all the same as what she imagined, and there was no such scene in the atlas.

The old man took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, feeling that this place was indeed beautiful, but it would not be like this, otherwise why would Lianzhou be different? The state of Nareh has not been affected much, and it cannot be compared with here.

"Xin'er, this is the ability, the same place is managed by different people, then it must be different, even if ordinary officials do their best, they can't imagine that so many flowers and trees are planted on the shore of the dock here, and behind the seawall.

Not to mention that even a house can be repaired so neatly, not all places can be like Chang'an, but Zhang Zhong did it, look at the road, as long as you stand on it and look forward, it must be very comfortable, the Zhang family has a heart, so that the local people will work harder to do things. ”

"I know grandfather, this is what Xiaobao and Juan Juan told me before, infrastructure construction will have a special feeling for the people, which can make the people have centripetal force and a sense of honor, but where have the people gone? Even if the rice is harvested, it is time for someone from the family to bring food, and there is no cooking smoke. ”

Xin'er knows a lot of things, when they used to play with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan together, the two of them often said something to her, and then they got right.

The old man smiled and touched his granddaughter's head, "Xin'er, why did you forget, when the Zhang family asks people to do things, they always prepare food, so what's the use of others doing it themselves?" The people who work may have already eaten, and when we go down, they will also eat. ”

"I know grandpa, I didn't expect them to be in charge of so many people, I thought they would take care of it when there were few people, it would cost a lot of money, we went down to eat and were ready for a long time, I didn't eat in the morning, the boat was good, but the things made by the cook were not delicious, I knew to bring a cook from the water and clouds.

Waiting for this meal, the Zhang family will definitely build a restaurant here, and the chef can't be bad, in fact, my favorite thing to eat is made by Xiaobao and Juanjuan, I have seen the two of them make meat floss, the kind eaten as snacks. ”

As soon as Xin'er talked about eating, she began to swallow saliva, and her hand was put on her stomach, the cook on the boat was not good, and she suffered a lot of sins along the way.

While talking, the boat leaned to the dock, there is a special place to park big boats, the trestle of the pier is relatively high, and this height can be adjusted, and the flat can take the springboard.

Xin'er was the first to jump over, and rushed directly to Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, Liu Er, Weiwei and Li Xun, cheering this and hugging that, looking very happy.

The old man was naturally Zhang Zhong and others to meet him, got into the carriage, walked on the flat and spacious road, and came to the newly built restaurant at the fastest speed, the name was changed, not the original Jinlai Building, but a name that fits the scenery here, between the sea and the clouds, and the name of the water and clouds, but the momentum is slightly higher.

The old man actually didn't want to eat with so many people, as long as he was accompanied by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but the reception banquet had to get together with everyone.

Since you are at the beach, you naturally have to eat things from the sea, all kinds of shellfish are made in different ways, as well as conch, sea stingers, including shark fin and abalone, and there is a big table full of food, and you can't see a dish that is not from the sea.

The people brought by the old man also arranged for other places to eat, and it was also a banquet in the sea, not that there were all things in the sea, but all things in the sea, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't think that anywhere in the world could take out all the things in the sea to cook.

It stands to reason that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, as well as Li Xun, can all go to the main table to eat, but other little guys can't, to understand the rules, the three of them can only get together at the same table with other children.

Other children don't understand, Li Xun doesn't know which of these dishes is the best, so he thinks abalone and shark fin are good, many people eat this, Xin'er is the host and guest, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan naturally have to accompany each other.

Seeing that others were moving, Xin'er was also going to eat abalone, but she was immediately stopped by Juan Juan and whispered: "Fresh abalone, or small abalone, the big ones are all dried abalone, eat this first, old vinegar sting, thirty years of old vinegar, sea stingers in the next year, this is the best, you can eat more other things after eating."

After eating this drunk shrimp, use Shaoxing, oh, it is the old wine drunk in Shanyin County, the prawns have been processed, don't be afraid of eating sick, but after the treatment, the raw taste of the seafood is a little worse, and I don't use high wine, just drunk with rice wine, safety first. ”

Xin'er naturally didn't suspect that Juan Juan was lying to her, and began to eat after listening to it, and it was really good, even if the old vinegar sting head was really sour, it was sour and comfortable, and the drunken shrimp was also big, it should be used for prawns, seven inches long, and it was enjoyable to eat.

The treatment method of this shrimp is very simple, in order to kill parasites, a lot of shrimp are consumed, and the consumed ones are used to make hot dishes, the prawns are fished out, first put into a special pond to raise, add an increase in salt, not many can survive, and after raising with salt water, they must use indigo and lime water to raise.

In this way, a lot of people will die, this is invented by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, regardless of the amount of loss, but only those who survive in this situation can be used to make drunk shrimp, and kill the parasites on the shrimp as much as possible, even if the probability of shrimp parasites is smaller.

Those dead shrimp did not throw, as long as they found that it was going to work, they would be given to the sea clouds, made red stew, steamed, etc., if there were many deaths, it was guaranteed to be a special price for today's shrimp dishes, and if they could not be sold after two hours, then make shrimp balls.

In fact, it is a bit immoral to do this, but the content of that thing in the pool is very small, and it does not affect people's health at all, and it is specially sold to merchants who come here to buy things.

Xin'er ate at ease, ate two in one go, and was about to get the third, but a little hesitant, such a big shrimp, it is easy to fill people, and other dishes can not be eaten, so she had to give up for the time being, ate another bite of the sting, took a sip of wine, and pulled a crab the size of a plate to the front.

There are eight crabs on the table, Xin'er thought about it, pushed it aside, and directly inserted the chopsticks into the crab, both sides of the force, the crab was opened, swept it with a spoon, it was a large piece of crab meat, eat it first, and then scoop a spoon, dip it in the light juice, this is ginger vinegar, and then it is the thick juice, specially hooked out of the sauce, different things taste different.

Li Xun also eats like this, he was fooled, he used eight crabs to eat, and the food was elegant, but before he finished eating a crab, others were already full, who cares if the food is clean here, eat the good meat first.

The crab is big, and in addition to the big pincers, there is a lot of meat in those small claws, which are broken off and set aside, waiting to be eaten as a snack.

Zhang Xiaobao left the table while eating, ran to the kitchen behind to get some shreds cut out of green onions, put them in a bowl and sent them to the old man.

"Grandpa Bi, do you feel damp on the road and your body is uncomfortable?" Zhang Xiaobao put down the bowl and asked.

Others are all picked, Zhang Xiaobao has to ask this.

The old man was not angry at all, nodded, and said: "Tide, it's not comfortable, sometimes it's disgusting, thanks to what you said with ginger slices, the main thing is that it's in a hurry, I didn't bring a cook from the water and clouds, and the food is not good, and I'm relieved when I get here." ”

"Then use that crab meat to eat with this, don't eat ginger, eat green onions directly, the juice has been mixed, every bite must be carried with more than three shredded green onions, crabs can eat less, eat shrimp."

Zhang Xiaobao pointed to the green onion in the bowl and said.

"Well, eat, eat, listen to Xiaobao, with Xiaobao and Juan Juan, I, a person who is half-cut into the ground, always feel that I can live for ten or eight more years, so I will eat two bites of crabs and taste them, and then eat shrimp."

The old man nodded violently and agreed, other people say so many nice things, they are not as good as Xiaobao's words, can politeness and concern be the same?
