Chapter 45: Don't Kill and Keep for the New Year?
In addition to Zhang Wenliang, there were also a few housekeeping dogs who accompanied Chen Fan.
The dogs followed from outside the woods, ran two steps and stopped, and looked at Chen Fan like a monster.
When I entered the road in front of the earthen wall house, many dog friends ran out smelling the smell.
The big yellow dog immediately became excited, rushed over and barked, "Wangwang...... (This guy can talk dogs)"
A few dogs behind it also barked, "Really, really, I heard it all." ”
All the dogs came running for a while, barking non-stop.
"Really?"
"Why didn't he speak?"
"Let him say a few words."
The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and the dog was so gossipy?
Zhang Wenliang saw so many dogs rushing over, and he didn't feel a little strange in his heart, usually even if outsiders enter the village, the dogs are not so noisy?
He tilted his head and looked at Chen Fan, and then at the dogs, and became more and more puzzled.
It is said that the dogs are hostile to Chen Fan, but it is not very similar, when they used to take the dog to catch the thief, the dogs were called fierce, and the back tooth grooves were exposed, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it and tear the person to pieces.
And the scene in front of me is like the dogs have encountered something curious, and they come over one by one and tilt their heads to look at it.
Dizzy in his head, Zhang Wenliang waved his hand to drive the dogs away, "Let's go, let's go." ”
Then he looked at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "Don't worry, with me, they won't bite." ”
At the same time, I secretly admired in my heart, this young man looked white, thin and weak, but he didn't expect that he was very bold, and ordinary people were surrounded by so many dogs, even if they didn't cry, their faces would change greatly, but Chen Fan was still full of smiles, just with this courage, Zhang Wenliang felt very happy.
Of course, Chen Fan was not afraid, the dogs all looked at him one by one, looking forward to talking to them.
So he replied to Zhang Wenliang first, "It's okay, it's okay, these dogs are very well-behaved and cute." ”
Then he barked at the dogs a few times, "Wangwang...... (It's all quiet, whoever is the best has bones to eat at night)"
In an instant, the dogs stopped barking, but looked at him with extremely hot eyes.
Zhang Wenliang was shocked again when he saw this, "Ouch, you have a hand in dog training!" ”
Chen Fan snorted, "No, no, it's just fun." ”
Then he changed the topic and asked, "Brother Sanhu, raising so many dogs in the village costs a lot of food, right?" ”
Zhang Wenliang laughed, "What kind of food is cost, you can feed it with leftovers, there are many things in the countryside, and the dog can find a lot of food by himself outside, and if you are lucky, you can catch rabbits." Of course, it's not okay to raise too much, one or two are still very simple. ”
After a pause, he said, "I heard that your accent is also local, haven't you ever been to the countryside before?" ”
Chen Fan said "ah" and said with a comfortable expression, "I don't know if I've been to the countryside, I forgot." ”
Zhang Wenliang then remembered what the captain said, this person was fished back from the river by Captain Yang of Team 6, and there was something wrong with his brain, and he couldn't think of many things, so he couldn't help but sigh.
If there is nothing wrong with the brain and no problem with the background, with this appearance and the skill of making soft-shelled turtle dishes, wouldn't it be a good match for my own sister.
It's a pity.
At this time, a group of children ran over and looked at Chen Fan from a distance.
Zhang Wenliang waved his hand, and he didn't know who he was calling, "Zhang Xuejun, go and tell them, Master Chen has arrived." ”
No one responded, a group of children immediately ran back with a laugh, Chen Fan still didn't know which Zhang Xuejun was.
Zhang Wenliang said as he walked, "If you have to go to the countryside, you will know that our place is a land of fish and rice, and farming in the countryside is really hard, but as long as you don't suffer from floods, you can basically have enough food to eat twice a year."
Even during the three-year drought, our grain output here did not have much impact, that is, the higher authorities were too ruthless in transferring grain, and seventy or eighty percent of the grain had to be handed over, and in the early years, we ate a large canteen, and after eating all the stored grain, we were hungry for three years. ”
He pointed to the mud-walled houses on the side of the road, "After three years of the disaster, the food production will recover immediately, and this row of houses was built in those years, so having two dogs is nothing." ”
He turned his head to look at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "You don't know, in the past three years, we have eaten soft-shelled turtles every three or five times, as well as loach, eel, crabs, and others, although there is no oil and water, it can also go down to the mouth, but this soft-shelled turtle is really smoked and gives people a headache, if it weren't for the soft-shelled turtle meat, it would be enough to eat a meal, and no one would eat this thing."
Unexpectedly, this soft-shelled turtle is still a good dish, if you came here 18 years earlier, not to mention our Lujiawan, even the people of the county will supply you. Gufeng County is full of ditches and ditches, and there are many rivers and ponds, and you can turn over a bunch of soft-shelled turtles at will, and you can't finish eating, where will you be hungry. ”
Chen Fan smiled silently.
Can't finish eating?
Since the 90s, Ma Jiajun endorsed soft-shelled turtles, and there was news that soft-shelled turtles can fight cancer in the laboratory, this kind of thing has swept the north and south of the country overnight, and an ordinary home-cooked banquet, as long as a soft-shelled turtle pot is added, the value will immediately double.
So that the wild giant soft-shelled turtle has become extinct in just a few years, and occasionally someone catches one, which can often be sold for a high price of several thousand yuan, and the price continues to be strong, almost for more than 20 years.
As long as you are targeted by foodies, there is no possibility of not being able to eat it all!
The two of them were talking until they reached the edge of the pond.
Chen Fan only found out at this time that almost the entire village of people gathered here to scrub the soft-shelled turtles, and baskets full of soft-shelled turtles were placed by the pond, and men, women, and children were holding straw handles.
Seeing Chen Fan's gaze, Zhang Wenliang said with a smile, "After Captain Yang came yesterday afternoon, we organized people to dig it, and we dug another batch this morning, all of which are here." They have also just started to scrub, and there are many people, so they should be able to get better soon, and they will not delay things. ”
After he finished speaking, he shouted to the people who were looking this way, "This is Master Chen, who came to teach us how to make soft-shelled turtles, everyone is welcome." ”
Those who don't have a soft-shelled turtle in their hands slap their hands, and those who hold a soft-shelled turtle shout loudly, "Welcome, welcome." ”
and do not delay the work at hand.
Chen Fan grinned, raised his hand and waved to everyone, "Hello, hello." ”
It's a chic way to welcome.
After greetings, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Wenliang's clothes and whispered, "Brother Sanhu, kill them all?" ”
Zhang Wenliang was stunned for a moment, looked at the soft-shelled turtle over there, and then looked back at him, "Don't kill it and keep it for the New Year?" ”
Chen Fan couldn't cry or laugh, "Yesterday we only got seven or eight big ones, which is enough for the whole village to eat one meal, and the soft-shelled turtles you caught are all hundreds, all of them are killed and cooked, can you finish eating?" ”
Zhang Wenliang was stunned for a moment, "Seven or eight big ones are enough for the whole village to eat?" ”
Chen Fan patiently explained, "The meat yield of soft-shelled turtles is about 60 percent, as long as this kind of large soft-shelled turtle is cleaned up, almost all of them can be eaten, a large soft-shelled turtle has 15 or 6 catties, and getting ten is equal to a pig, how many pigs do you eat at a meal?" ”
How many pigs are still to eat?
Get a little more side dishes, half a pig is enough for the whole village to make a good meal, and now the soft-shelled turtles that have been cleaned are almost half, and you really plan to eat all-you-can-eat meat?!
Zhang Wenliang hurriedly shouted loudly, "Stop everything, Master Chen said enough, keep the rest for later." ”
Seeing Zhang Wenliang speak, everyone stopped, cleaned up a little, and then most of the people followed behind the two of them and walked towards the team headquarters on the slope.
