Chapter 0218: Feast
"Brother Zeng Zhi, is your family so lively to kill pigs every year?" At the banquet, Dong Yue asked Zeng Zhi in a low voice.
Zeng Zhi sat at this table with a total of ten people, in addition to Zeng Zhi, the master, the other four old people, Chen Xiangyang, Zhang Chunming, Li Mingze, Kang Yaoting, as well as the township secretary Peng Zhengwang and the township mayor Lin Qingzhang, and then Zeng Zhi's great-grandfather village party secretary Zeng Lingxu, as well as Yuan Ling and Dong Yue.
Several old people are noble people, and Peng Zhengwang and Lin Qingzhang are local parent officials, Zeng Lingxu is not only the village party secretary, but also the person with the highest rank in the Zeng family, so he is naturally enough to be the chairman. As for Yuan Ling and Dong Yue, they are both friends of Zeng Zhi and also sit at this table.
In order not to let the tourists be too restrained, young people like Zeng Chuidong and Zeng Yao, as well as Huang Yuanyu, Wang Yan and other senior executives of the Xianju Company were assigned to each table to guide and introduce the tourists.
Dong Yue has been living in the village for half a year, and in addition to writing every day, her favorite thing to do is to take her high-end photographic equipment worth more than 100,000 yuan, wander around the Datuowa and the periphery of Nanwu Mountain, and take all kinds of wonderful scenery into the lens.
The longer she stays in the village, the more Dong Yue can feel the charm of this place, not only because of the beautiful natural scenery, but also because of the feeling of harmony between people and nature.
Dong Yue usually likes to shoot the old people basking in the sun in the village, and the relaxed and satisfied smiles of the old people can always give her more touch and inspiration, not only in photography, but also in her literary creation.
Dong Yue has never seen such a lively pig killing banquet today, Dong Yue has traveled to many places over the years, and he can be regarded as well-informed, but he can rarely encounter this kind of scene full of rural fun.
Zeng Zhi shook his head and said, "How is it possible?!" In previous years, my family would kill two or three heads, and I used to study outside, and after graduation, I worked outside, so I was rarely able to participate. This year, the development of various industries in the family is good, and it is only in such a big battle that it looks good now! ”
Dong Yue has lived in the village for half a year, and naturally has some understanding of the situation of the company, and euphemistically put forward his views to Zeng Zhi, saying: "I have also been to many places, and the village has done a good job in the protection and development of traditional customs and cultural environment, and I hope it can be maintained!" ”
As a writer and photography enthusiast, Dong Yue has been to many places of interest and tourist attractions. However, she found that with the continuous deepening of development, the scenic spot became more and more money-oriented, and many traditions slowly became tasteless.
Dong Yue naturally doesn't want a paradise like Union Village to be polluted by too much commerce, and if it can maintain its current appearance, it will be a good thing for the village and tourists.
"This is nature!" Zeng Zhi grabbed a pig bone with his hand, sucked the oily bone marrow in it, and then said, "Regarding this aspect, we also hope that Xiaoyue can write some works for our village and spread more folk customs and traditional skills." ”
Zeng Zhi knew that as the opening time of the scenic spot approached, various propaganda offensives had also entered the stage of gaining momentum, and he had to make full use of the various resources at hand.
Dong Yue is a well-known writer and has a lot of fans, which is a rare opportunity for Nanwushan Scenic Area.
………………
Today's pig killing banquet is because the main essence is to be kept to make cured meat, Zeng Youhua can only use local materials, give full play to the various materials at hand, and make a small banquet that is cold and hot.
The soy sauce beef is marinated from the local yellow beef that Zeng Zhi bought on the street a few days ago, cut into thin slices like cicada wings with a knife, and then dipped in a special hot sauce, the rich sauce aroma is wrapped in the aroma of the beef itself, and it melts in the mouth.
Braised pig's head meat is today's pig's head is braised and cut, fat but not greasy, full of chewiness, and it is naturally the best to use it for wine.
The fried peanuts are made from peanuts that have just been harvested and dried this autumn, and the peanut oil is heated and fried in a pan until the color is golden, crispy and delicious.
It is a wild vegetable that can be seen everywhere in the fields and mountain springs and forests of Ginkgo Village, and it becomes a delicious dish when washed and mixed with various seasonings.
After boiling the broth on the big bones of the pig, the lotus root dug up from the lotus root field is put in, and the soup is perfect in the early winter season, which is a little chilly.
The raw material of the braised fish comes from the big lump, about three catties of big carp are braised and poured on the sauce boiled by the Lingquan tomatoes in the vegetable garden, which is sweet and sour, and the fish is delicious.
……
Zeng Youhua's craftsmanship is not bad, and all kinds of ingredients and raw materials are of the top level, so although today's banquet is not as exquisite as a star-rated hotel, it is full of weight and extraordinary taste.
In a sense, a lot of the food at the banquet can't be bought even if you have money.
Zeng Zhi's table of distinguished guests was well accompanied by Zeng Zhi, and the other hosts and guests at the table were also happy, food and wine became a link between everyone, and they let go of their strangeness and reserve, and the atmosphere of the scene began to be lively.
The banquet lasted from half past twelve to half past two, and the second sister led a group of housewives to start cleaning up the mess, packing the remaining dishes and meat separately and giving them to the people who came to help today.
………………
The birds outside the window were chirping, but Zeng Zhi still lay on the bed and didn't get up, comfortably enjoying the warm quilt and experiencing the wonderful taste of lying in bed.
"Whew......" Just when Zeng Zhi was still immersed in the wonderful feeling of lying on the bed, Xiaoyin's cute head came out of the quilt.
Maybe it was disturbed by Xiao Yin's howl, and a little golden head poked out of the cup, which was the golden retriever. However, the little guy's go-up anger was obviously not small, and it stretched out a kick and kicked Xiao Yin to the ground, making a muffled "poof" sound.
Xiaoyin is not good at stubble, so he naturally refuses to rest, and jumps on the bed to scuffle with the golden retriever.
"It's noisy! If you two are not honest, I'll throw you there!" Zeng Zhi shouted, which startled the two little guys who were playing with Zhenghuan, especially when they heard Zeng Zhi's later words, Xiaoyin and Jin Retriever didn't dare to fight anymore.
After coming to this outside world, the two guys have long been accustomed to it, except for being released back to hunt by Zeng Zhi at regular intervals, they are unwilling to return to the Qinglian Secret Realm.
It was precisely because he found that the two little ones were unhappy that Zeng Zhi prepared a nest for each of the two guys in the room and let them live in the same room with him.
However, the two little ones often crawl into Zeng Zhi's bed at night to join in the fun.
