"This particle is so big that anyone who has some research on spices can easily tell which spices we use."

"This particle is too fine, you see that this lotus root is densely packed with spices, which affects the taste too much."

"It's okay, but the taste seems to be a little too strong, and I can't eat the original taste of the ingredients."

“.”

After tasting the lo-mei of the last noodle bucket, Xu An shook his head for the eighth time, put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Dezhen and his wife, who looked a little nervous, and said, "The direction is correct, but there seems to be something wrong with the thinking." It's not too early, so let's do it tonight, and we'll try again tomorrow night. ”

Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law's mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything, and after saying goodbye to Xu An, she turned around and began to clean up the kitchen.

"What's wrong? What did you just come up with? Zhang Dezhen and her have been husband and wife for many years, and they are very familiar with the actions and reactions of both parties, and the change in the daughter-in-law's expression just now naturally did not escape Zhang Dezhen's eyes.

"Do you remember that there is a shop in our town that specializes in marinades? His marinade tastes good, and many people go to his house to buy marinade and cook it back for the New Year's holidays, and his marinade is a flavor every time it is cooked! ”

"Ouch, I don't really remember if you don't say it, there is such a thing." After Zhang Dezhen suddenly realized, he asked with a puzzled face: "What does this have to do with us, the braised vegetables we make taste so good, we don't need his braised buns." ”

Hearing Zhang Dezhen's words, Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law felt that her teeth were tightened, and a hatred of iron and steel rose in her heart.

My husband is good at everything, but he is too honest and responsible, and he will not draw inferences from one another. It's all about this, and I haven't been able to understand what I mean.

It would be nice if the husband's and younger brother's personalities could be neutralized, one is too honest, the other is too clever, neither of which is worry-free.

"Do you remember what his marinade bag looks like?" Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law is kind and seductive.

"Of course, I remember that most of the spices are similar to what we use, but there is a package of individually packaged powder in the bag" Speaking of this, Zhang Dezhen finally reacted and suddenly said: "Daughter-in-law, you mean!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law nodded: "There is no need to cut all the spices into small pieces or powder, let's choose a few spices and put them together with the spices in our secret recipe?" ”

"Why don't we try it first?" Zhang Dezhen is like a child who has got a new toy, his face is full of eagerness: "When I first went to get vegetables, I saw that there were potatoes and lettuce in the vegetable basket, and there was also a piece of pork belly in the refrigerator, spices and everything, let's try it?" ”

Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law is not a grinder, and after glancing at the time, she nodded in response, but when she watched Zhang Dezhen prepare the ingredients, she couldn't help but admonish: "Take less, let's cook a small pot and try it, and cook it faster, so we can go back early." ”

"Hey, that's good!"

Subsequently, one of the husband and wife prepared the spices and the other the ingredients. The brine on the front foot 'gurgles', and the ingredients for the back feet are put in, along with the spice powder that is ground into powder and consists of four spices.

As soon as the powder comes into contact with the brine, the kitchen is filled with a rich aroma.

Even Zhang Dezhen, who had long been accustomed to smelling this smell, couldn't help but take two sharp breaths, gave his daughter-in-law a thumbs up, and praised: "Daughter-in-law, your craftsmanship is better than mine, and the taste is more fragrant than what I make!" ”

"That's right, my mother taught me this craft, but it's not as exquisite as you, who learned it secretly."

The brine in the pot 'gurgling' rang for an hour, and Zhang Dezhen and his wife chatted for a whole hour. From the gossip in the village to the future life of Haishi, the eyes of both of them are shining and full of expectations for the future.

Chatting and chatting, Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law swept the wall clock on the wall out of the corner of her eyes, and it had been an hour and thirteen minutes since the ingredients were put into the pot, and she immediately pushed Zhang Dezhen: "Okay, okay, take it out and taste it!" ”

Zhang Dezhen hurriedly got up and walked into the kitchen, opened the lid and picked up the sieve to beat all the marinated vegetables in the pot.

As soon as the lo-mei was placed on the table, Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of dark brown pork belly with bright color, fat and mellow aroma, put it in her mouth, and chewed it carefully. This is followed by the rich but refreshing lettuce, and finally the soft and crispy potatoes.

"How's it going, isn't it very different from the braised vegetables you made before?" Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law couldn't wait to ask after putting down the chopsticks.

"Great!" Zhang Dezhen nodded solemnly, and before his daughter-in-law was about to show a disappointed look on her face, she hurriedly said the second half of the sentence: "The taste is even better than what I cooked!" ”

Phew————

Hearing this, Zhang Dezhen's daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and then pinched her small fist and hammered two punches on Zhang Dezhen's arm: "Such an important thing is still teasing me, looking for a fight!" ”

Private room at Haitian Hotel.

"It's late, it's late, I'm sorry bosses, I'll punish myself with three cups!" The moment Yan Peiwen pushed open the door of the box, he bent down again and again to apologize, picked up the wine jug and glass, and poured himself three glasses to apologize.

"Where, Boss Yan is just right at this time, we came a little early." Although this person spoke politely, he didn't say a word when Yan Peiwen was drinking just now.

"Haha, I'm late when I come later than you!" Yan Peiwen laughed with him, walked to the vacant seat next to Boss Yu and sat down.

When he saw the looks of everyone in the box, Yan Peiwen knew that the purpose of Boss Yu calling him over was mainly to cheer the bosses and brush his face in front of the bosses.

The middle-aged man with the head of the cockscomb sitting at the main table, he has a seafood processing factory in Haishi, and the products are sold as far as the north, and all of them are big business, and a little leakage between his fingers is enough to eat for himself.

The bald head on the left hand side of the main table only cooperates with hotels above four stars to provide high-end ingredients for the hotel. Like the seafood they bought, such as the crab, there are no more than eight taels, and people don't even look at it.

The Mediterranean Sea on the right-hand side is engaged in deep-sea fishing, and he is in charge of more than a dozen boats and hundreds of people, and he is also a well-known figure.

With Yan Peiwen's constant amusement, everyone can be regarded as having a good time eating and drinking.

After the wine and food were full, everyone naturally began to talk about all kinds of gossip, talking and talking, somehow, they talked about the opening of tourism in Beitun Town.

"I know now that tourism development is really making money, much more than our factories, fishing, and selling fish!"

The cockscomb head sitting on the main seat knocked the cigarette ash, took a hard breath and spit it out slowly, and continued to speak in the smoke.

"That Beitun Town, the development only began in mid-August, and now it has only been a month, and the income on the books has increased by 80 million! Now go to Beitun Town to see, the road is being repaired everywhere, and it is big and wide; The house is all decorated, and the high-end atmosphere of the decoration is on the grade; Shops are opening one after another, what a barbecue restaurant, a special taste shop, a specialty shop"

Tut-tut————

There was a thruckle in the box.

"I estimate that in the second half of this year, Beitun Town will be able to earn an extra 500 million yuan on the bill just by relying on this town. Those people near the sea in Beitun Town are really smoking from their ancestral tombs! It's a pity that my hometown is not there, otherwise I would have been able to drink some soup and water. ”

The middle-aged man of the cockscomb put out the cigarette that still had a third in his hand, and took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth, Yan Peiwen ran over with small steps very eye-catching, took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.

"Your hometown is over there in Qianhai Town, right? I think I've been there once, and there is a large tidal flat nearby, and many fishermen work in it. The bald head on the left side frowned and thought: "That jumping fish is pure wild, fat and big, and the oil is fragrant." Did the plate of jumping fish just now be collected from Qianhai Town, Xiao Yan? ”

was called Xiao Yan by people of the same age, Yan Peiwen did not feel the slightest annoyance, but responded with a smile: "Yes, I only received it this afternoon, and when I sent it to the back kitchen, I was all alive and fierce." ”

Yan Peiwen was used as a compliment, and he should have stopped here and returned the field to several bosses. But now, I don't know if I drank too much or was stimulated by something. After he finished speaking, he didn't stop talking, but opened his mouth to ask.

"Boss Zhang, is your house near the tidal flat in the southeast corner of Qianhai Town?"

"yes." Cockscomb nodded, and after responding to Yan Peiwen's question casually, he wanted to talk about other topics, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Yan Peiwen.

"Boss Zhang is so blessed!" Yan Peiwen stood up abruptly when he heard this, poured himself a full glass of wine, saluted the cockscomb, and then continued after drinking it all: "Boss Zhang's hometown will also be a tourist attraction in the future!" ”

"Huh?"

These words immediately aroused the attention of several people, and everyone who was originally careless all fell on Yan Peiwen at this moment, waiting for him to continue.

In front of such a few big bosses, Yan Peiwen naturally didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said everything he knew with one mouth.

I found a hot spring eye on the tidal flat, a hot spring on the sea, what a gimmick. Our side is not far from Beitun Town, tourists go to Beitun Town Beach to play, and can also drive here to soak in the hot springs, isn't it beautiful. In the future, Qianhai Town will be a well-known hot spring town."

"And this thing, why haven't you heard of it, with such good conditions, why doesn't the Qianhai Town Government hurry up to develop it?" The bald head on the right hand side let out a series of questions in confusion.

"Hey!" Yan Peiwen sighed lightly: "This tidal flat has been contracted!" This hot spring eye is also within the scope of the contract, and the contract is signed for 50 years, and it is impossible for the government to forcibly take it back. ”

"Yo, which big boss has such a good eye?"

"Hey, it's not a big boss, it's just a small village. This village has caught up with the good policy of rural development, thinking about engaging in tidal flat breeding to contract this tidal flat, but I didn't expect that there was a hot spring eye in the tidal flat, which is really a coincidence. ”

When the cockscomb heard that it was a village that contracted this tidal flat, several expectations ignited in his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "Which village?" ”

"Just Xujia Village, the Xujia Village where there are only about 30 households."

Hearing that it was Xujia Village, a flash of fear flashed in the eyes of the cockscomb head, and he quickly opened the topic. This fear appeared and disappeared quickly, and no one in the box noticed it. As the topic shifted, everyone did not continue the topic of 'hot spring eyes'.

Yan Peiwen drank a lot of wine, a urge of urine appeared in his bladder, and after saying hello to several bosses, he staggered towards the bathroom, just unbuckled his belt and pulled down his pants and began to release water, a middle-aged man quickly flashed into the toilet, stood in the urinal next to Yan Peiwen, and asked vaguely while untying his belt.

"How much do you know about that Xujia Village and that hot spring eye?"

glanced sideways at the person next door, although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but he vaguely felt that he was an acquaintance, Yan Peiwen immediately knew everything, and took out everything he knew, and even the little dirt between him and Xujiacun that was not a conflict or contradiction was told to the bottom.

Finally, he shook it, put on his pants, and staggered out without his belt tied. As soon as he reached the door of the toilet, he tripped over the threshold one centimeter above the ground, and after falling to the ground, he began to snore.
