Chapter 66: Crayfish become food
"Old Song, you're finally here."
Song Zhengdong, who was rushing, looked at Li Yuemei in surprise, and found that she had several rotten leaves hanging on her head, and her whole body was soaked, and she was extremely embarrassed, and instantly showed a disgusted expression.
"How did you get it like this?"
"It's Lin Haoxi who poured dirty water on me, Old Song, you must give me justice." Li Yuemei didn't notice the expression on Song Zhengdong's face, and pointed to the courtyard of the Lu family and complained loudly.
Song Zhengdong understood Li Yuemei's temperament, and did not believe her immediately, but focused on the crowd outside the courtyard of the Lu family.
The aunt who originally came to see the excitement, after finding Song Zhengdong looking at her, hurriedly avoided lowering her head.
Captain Zhang also spotted the aunt outside the courtyard and walked towards the crowd curiously.
"Aren't you going home to cook and eat? What are you doing in front of someone's yard? ”
After hearing Captain Zhang's inquiry, the aunt in the crowd hurriedly stood up and pointed to the courtyard of the landing house to explain.
"Captain Zhang, you don't know, the Lu family's daughter-in-law, Lin Haoxi, she made a mistake and took the collective property for herself."
"That's right, although the insects in that field are pests, they are also collective property, why did she say that she would catch them."
One sentence made Captain Zhang's face worse and worse, frowned, and walked towards the Lu family's courtyard.
Song Zhengdong also had a general understanding of the situation from the mouths of these aunts, and also followed Captain Zhang into the courtyard.
As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, they smelled a fragrant smell of vegetables.
This taste made the well-informed Song Zhengdong unreasonable, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger.
Both of them couldn't control their grunts of hunger, swallowing and spitting in the kitchen.
Lin Haoxi, who was busy in the kitchen, found Captain Zhang and Song Zhengdong standing outside the door.
hurriedly signaled Wang Xiaohua, who was busy beside him, and reminded in a low voice.
"Aunt Wang, it's the captain and the village chief."
As soon as Wang Xiaohua heard that the leaders of the village had come to the house, she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen while wiping her hands, and greeted her with a smile.
"Yo, Captain Zhang, Village Chief Song, why are you so free to come over, just about to start dinner, go into the house and sit."
After seeing Wang Xiaohua, Captain Zhang and Song Zhengdong restrained their curious expressions, coughed lightly and followed her to the hall.
Lin Haoxi was worried that Wang Xiaohua would not be able to cope with the two of them, and after stewing the braised pork, she hurriedly asked Lu Qinzhou to bring the crayfish to the hall.
He carried a large pot full of braised pork and followed him.
Lu Qinzhou and Lin Haoxi entered the hall one after the other and brought the crayfish and braised pork with the fragrance of vegetables to the table.
Captain Zhang and Song Zhengdong looked at the red insects filled with basins in front of them, all with incredible expressions.
"This is the worm in the field?" In the end, it was Captain Zhang who reacted first, swallowing saliva and asking.
"Yes, it's the bugs in the ditches of the rice fields." Lin Yixi smiled and looked at the surprised expressions of the two, and after pondering for a while, he pursed his lips and sat down and apologized.
"Captain Zhang, Village Chief Song, I admit my mistake and use the pests in the field as food without the consent of the leader, and I accept criticism."
Song Zhengdong, who had all his thoughts on the crayfish, didn't come back to his senses until Lin Haoxi's apologetic voice sounded.
"Lin Zhiqing, can this thing really be eaten?"
"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can try it, cook it at full high temperature for half an hour, and you won't have diarrhea after eating it."
In order to prove that crayfish can indeed be eaten, Lin Haoxi wanted to demonstrate by himself, picked up one and peeled off the shell and bit it down.
The people in the house who had never eaten crayfish all looked at Lin Yixi's movements with shocked expressions.
After seeing her eat one, Wang Xiaohua and Lu Qinzhou glanced at each other and picked up chopsticks to demonstrate.
I saw that the two of them looked like Lin Xianxi, peeled the shell and dipped it in juice and put it in their mouths.
After discovering that the taste of crayfish was fragrant and delicious, they all showed expressions of amazement.
"Captain Zhang, you try it, it's very delicious." Wang Xiaohua couldn't wait to hand a pair of clean chopsticks to Captain Zhang.
Seeing this, Lu Qinzhou hurriedly handed the chopsticks to Song Zhengdong beside him, and introduced seriously, "Village Chief Song, the meat of this crayfish is delicious, and with the juice, the whole taste is very delicious, you try it." ”
Although Captain Zhang and Song Zhengdong were greedy, they were holding a shelf after all, and they didn't dare to act easily.
In the end, under the soft grinding and hard soaking of the two, they pretended to pick up the chopsticks reluctantly, and peeled the shell and dipped the juice in the same way as Lin was embarrassed.
After a set of processes was completed, when they put it in their mouths, the expressions of the two instantly changed from suspicion to amazement and then to endless aftertaste.
"This.... And the smell of beer? It's so delicious. Captain Zhang, who likes to drink two glasses on weekdays, tasted the taste of beer in the crayfish sauce and said in surprise.
Even Song Zhengdong, who has never had much demand for eating, is full of praise for crayfish.
"This smell is more fragrant than the pig's trotters in the state-run restaurant, Lin Zhiqing, how do you do it?"
The compliments of the two made Lin Haoxi embarrassed, but she didn't plan to tell the secret recipe, so she refused with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Captain Zhang, Village Chief Song, this is a secret recipe and can't be exposed, but if you like it, you can sit here and eat."
Captain Zhang instantly felt embarrassed after hearing this, he was also the captain of the brigade, and he was eating in people's homes.
If it spreads, it will mess up discipline, and every family in this era is shrinking clothes and dieting, and there are no last meals.
In this case, it is really unruly to eat at someone's house with a cheeky face.
I didn't know what Captain Zhang thought, Song Zhengdong also shook his head in embarrassment, this dish was very suitable for his taste.
It's just that as the village head, he had to sigh and get up.
"No, this time I came here mainly to understand the situation, not to eat."
"Yes, we received a report from the masses that you had embezzled the property of the collective, so we came here to ask for clarification."
When Captain Zhang saw Song Zhengdong standing up, he was embarrassed to continue to sit down, so he had to stand up together.
After Lin Haoxi heard the conversation between the two, there was an aggrieved look on his face, with a sobbing voice.
"I'm sorry, I just want to lighten the burden on the team, I really don't know that these pests are also the property of the collective."
Halfway through her speech, she cried aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Captain Zhang immediately explained, "Who said that pests are collective property? In the past few years, we have thought of countless ways because of this bug, but it is useless, since it can be eaten as a dish, such a good thing should be carried forward, yes, due east. ”
Song Zhengdong thought about Lin Xixi's words with a calm face, came over for a while, and nodded very much in agreement.
"That's right, if every household can have your spirit, then we don't have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with this problem, this idea can indeed be vigorously promoted."
As soon as these words came out, Li Xiang, who had been standing outside the courtyard waiting for an opportunity, hurriedly took the opportunity to enter the hall and say his thoughts.
"Captain Zhang, Village Chief Song, I think that letting the newspaper report on this matter will not only publicize Lu Li Village, but also let more people know the solution to this bug."
