Li Jiale, the owner of this grapefruit orchard farmhouse, actually knew that my father was Tang Sihai.

This was a bit of a surprise to me.

He was about the same age as me, but I don't remember seeing him before, and my dad didn't mention him to me.

So I asked him, "Do you know my dad?" ”

He nodded: "I have been in contact with him before, and he has also done our family a favor......"

As he was talking, someone on the other end called out to the boss.

He hurriedly agreed, and then said to me: "You go back to the box first, I'm a little busy now, I'll go to you when I'm free, let's have a drink and talk together." ”

With that, Li Jiale patted my arm and left.

When I was passing by the kitchen, I saw that the little green snake was fried in the oil pot by the chef, and after a few strokes, it was sprinkled with salt and pepper.

A must-order dish, that's it.

The little waitress girl took the dish and walked out of the kitchen, and I followed.

I saw the little girl carrying the salt and pepper snake segment into my private room.

I sat down at the table, looked at the little green snake meat that had been blown brown and swallowed a little saliva, grabbed a section and nibbled on it.

The snake's skin was already crispy, and the meat inside was tender with a hint of sweetness.

The snake bones are fried very crispy in high oil temperature, and they are as crispy and oily as if they were fried hairtail. If you don't tell in advance, no one will know that it's made with small snakes.

I finished eating one and immediately grabbed another one.

I have to say, this salt and pepper snake section is really delicious.

Mei Mei is so small, she is also a snack, she eats with relish like us, we have a table of four people, you take a bite and I take a bite, and after a while, this "small snack" before the meal was eaten by us.

In the process of eating the little green snake, many other dishes were served on the table one after another.

The flowery dish is dry fried snake meat.

The skinned snake meat is cut into a long section of the inside, blanched with water once, then added with bean paste and dried chili peppercorns, and then added green and red peppers and fresh garlic moss, the taste is unique, and it tastes spicy and delicious.

Braised snake meat, mixed with the sandy potatoes of the plateau, you have me, I have you.

The snake meat used in this dish is a relatively fat snake.

This kind of snake meat is very suitable for braised meat, simmered in an earthen casserole for more than three hours, the dark soy sauce enhances the color, the light soy sauce increases the freshness, the soft potatoes are wrapped in the soup, and the sweetness of the snake meat is also incorporated in the middle.

Take a bite and your mouth is full of umami.

Sipping the leftover snake bones repeatedly, I felt the aroma of soup fill my spine. In the yellow soup on those plates, I also saw Huai Shan and jujubes.

These two ingredients are placed in it, which not only increases the freshness of the dish, but also has a more important effect to prevent fire.

The big snake that my dad burned for me before, my face was swollen the next day after I ate it.

And when I made this dish in this grapefruit orchard, I noticed this, so I joined Huai Mountain, which went to the fire, so as to avoid the embarrassment of having a swollen face tomorrow.

This Li Jiale is really good at business.

While nibbling on snake meat, I asked Liang Yuan: "How long has this grapefruit orchard farmhouse been open?" ”

After a mouthful of dry snake meat, Liang Yuan was choked and coughed a few times, and he took a big sip of tartary buckwheat tea: "It's been about seven or eight years, it wasn't Li Jiale who was in charge before, it was his father Li Caijun who was doing it, and he should have taken over it in the past few years." ”

I sighed and continued, "Before that......"

Just then, the door to the private room opened again.

The waitress girl came in with a casserole jar, followed by Li Jiale, the owner of the grapefruit orchard.

Li Jiale took the casserole and said to the little girl: "You go out, leave it to me here." After a pause, he added, "Let the bar come in with two bottles of good wine." ”

The little girl said hello, handed the casserole to Li Jiale and went out.

Li Jiale carefully placed the casserole on the table, and before I could lift the lid, I smelled a fragrance, which was like an old hen chicken soup that had been boiled for a long time, and there was a special fragrance in it

Li Jiale held a burlap in his hand, and he carefully undid the lid of the hot casserole.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance permeated the entire private room.

We leaned over and saw that the soup was bright yellow in color and covered with a thick layer of chicken fat.

Li Jiale took a soup spoon, gently scraped the layer of butter on it, and scooped a bowl of soup for each of us.

"This is one of the most famous dishes we have here – dragon and phoenix Chengxiang. I dare to say that only our pomelo orchard can make this taste in this hundreds of kilometers of restaurants, and many out-of-town diners drive for hours just for such a bowl of soup. ”

When Li Jiale said this, his face was full of pride.

Dragon and phoenix presented, this is a very beautiful word of blessing.

But in the meal, this is a very famous stew, snake meat stewed old hen soup.

Chickens and snakes, these two things, in fact, are natural enemies in a sense.

Snakes devour newly hatched chicks, and chickens peck at young snakes, so although these two things do not clash directly when they are older, they are the biggest obstacle to each other's reproduction.

The soup was hot, and I blew on the noodle soup a few bites.

After that, I carefully took a sip of the soup with a spoon, and there was a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the fresh soup.

The taste of this medicinal meal is just right, and it does not cover the original flavor of the snake soup, and it can be seen that the chef of this soup is indeed quite experienced in the selection of ingredients.

Seeing that my bowl of soup was finished, Li Jiale brought me another bowl.

I said thank you, but Li Jiale stared at me: "It's me who wants to say thank you, but I haven't found this opportunity." ”

I was a little puzzled by this.

Li Jiale didn't say much, and at this time, the little girl brought in two bottles of liquor.

Liang Yuan's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the brand of wine, and he patted Li Jiale's shoulder: "Oh, you're polite, let's just have a meal, is it appropriate to make such a good wine?" ”

The blind man also stared at the wine all the time, and did not speak, just laughing.

Li Jiale just smiled, opened one of the bottles of liquor, picked up four more glasses, and poured four glasses of liquor.

I was busy saying that I don't drink, but Li Jiale said that I should drink a little anyway.

And, when he put the glass of wine in front of me, he said to me meaningfully: "I wanted to visit the door a long time ago, but I never had the opportunity, and today no matter what, you have to drink this glass of wine." ”

I inexplicably glanced at Liang Yuan next to me.

This, which one is the trouble?
