Chapter 50: You're welcome

The three-entry mansion where the brigade headquarters is located is a residential house built by the Lu family before liberation, and has the typical characteristics of Jiangnan folk houses.

The blue bricks and black tiles are made of materials, the walls are tall, which is convenient for ventilation and heat dissipation, and the roof slope is very high, which is to facilitate the pouring of rainwater on rainy days.

The first row of the courtyard is three main rooms, the middle is the Ming Hall, the folk called the hall house, there are two side rooms on the left and right, which can be used as a reception.

Passing through behind the wall of the hall is a small courtyard.

There are two rows of wings on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and there is a two-story small building with a wooden structure on the lower bricks at the back.

The courtyard is surrounded by houses and is also known as the patio. When it rains, the rainwater from the inside of the eaves of the surrounding houses falls into the patio in the middle, which is the common "four waters return to the church" bureau in Jiangnan.

Passing through the two-storey building, there is also an embroidery building with a small garden at the back, which is also a two-story building, but there are no wings.

This whole set of dwellings is not magnificent, but it is also distinct, but there are not too many carved beams and paintings, which seems relatively simple.

In addition, the original blue brick and black tile houses were painted white, with lines of red slogans written, which is also very harmonious in the current social environment.

The whole house sits in the north and faces south, surrounded by a high courtyard wall, and a row of tall camphor trees is planted twenty or thirty meters outside the west of the courtyard wall, so that the eyes of pedestrians on the river embankment can not be far away.

Under the slope more than two meters high to the east of the compound is the pond where Chen Fan carried out collective teaching just now.

Around the pond is paved with a bluestone pavement about ten meters wide, and there are more than a dozen blue brick houses on the side of the stone road, but they are all ordinary single houses, and there is no yard, and the door is open to the pond.

This circle of blue brick houses is the former residential area of the Lu family.

It's just that now the mansion has become the Lujiawan Brigade Headquarters, and the former Lu family's house was also distributed to poor villagers during the land reform that year, and now it is naturally the home of the members.

Across the pond to the east, there is a long strip of thatched houses with earthen walls built on a sloping ridge.

Further out, there is a large field, which is also the road that Chen Fan took when he came over just now.

……

The west wing of the middle courtyard of the brigade headquarters was transformed into a kitchen and dining room, and Chen Fan flew with a spatula in it, and in a short time, a large table of good dishes was prepared.

When the last plate of stir-fried pork liver was served, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and introduced with a smile, "Red stewed soft-shelled turtle, stewed soft-shelled turtle, Northeast blood sausage, fried pepper and fried fat intestines, stir-fried pig heart, stir-fried kidney flower, stir-fried pork liver, back to the pot meat, pork lung soup, and the last plate of fried cabbage, all live." ”

Zhang Changjiang stood up and pointed to the position next to him, "Come on, come on, Master Chen is sitting here." ”

Chen Fan hurriedly waved his hand when he saw it, "This can't work, how can I sit on the main seat." ”

Then he looked and pointed to the doorway, "I'll just sit here." ”

As he spoke, he was about to move the chair, but was pulled by Zhang Wenliang again.

After a long period of pushing, Secretary Yang was finally allowed to sit in the main seat, and Chen Fan and Master Zhu sat next to him on the left and right. Then Zhang Changjiang, Xiao Liewen, Ye Shubao, Zhang Guangwen, Zhang Wenliang and the women's captain Yang Xingxiu, exactly 9 people at a table.

Xiao Liewen looked at the big table of dishes and grinned, "This is more sumptuous than the New Year." ”

Master Zhu nodded and said, "The point is that I haven't eaten a lot of dishes." ”

He pointed to the plate of fried fat sausages with pepper, and laughed, "If you don't make this dish, I don't dare to say that you are from here." With so many dishes, I know him. ”

Xiao Liewen, "I know a plate of blood sausage more than you." ”

After a lot of laughter, he started pouring wine again.

This time, Chen Fan didn't insist on soaking wine in warm water, because what he brought up was a few bottles of wine, and on the white and transparent glass bottle, there was a palm-sized piece of paper, and there was a trademark on it, and the patterns of several grain crops surrounded by four big characters, "Yunhu Daqu" (pure fiction).

This kind of bottled wine that looks simple in packaging is the most orthodox grain wine, and it has been inspected by the professional organization of the winery, so there is no need to worry about the methanol exceeding the standard.

The only thing to consider is that the degree is a bit high, and you can drink a few taels.

However, he didn't want it himself, but Master Zhu helped him open his mouth, "Master Xiao Chen doesn't drink cold wine, it's best to get him some hot water to scald it." ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Xingxiu immediately got up and went to get a bowl and pour boiling water, and Secretary Yang deliberately kept a straight face, "Master Chen can say anything if he has any requirements, and he is polite." ”

Xiao Liewen also said, "One party has the habit of one party, although it is to follow the local customs, but what a person can take care of is still to take care of it, just warm a wine, it is not a gesture, don't be polite next time." ”

Chen Fan could only grin awkwardly.

When it was time to move the chopsticks, it was another humility.

In the end, Secretary Yang was asked to move the chopsticks first, and then Master Zhu took the lead, and the meal officially began.

At this time, Chen Fan was already sweating, hey, hey, it's really tiring to eat outside.

Next to him, Xiao Liewen's first chopsticks rushed to the blood sausage, picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, his eyes immediately lit up, and he gave Chen Fan a thumbs up, "It's delicious." ”

When the others heard this, they hurriedly used chopsticks for each person, and most of them were cleared in an instant.

Xiao Liewen's eyes were straight, "Leave me a few pieces, I haven't eaten them for more than 20 years." ”

Ye Shubao looked at him, his hands were not slow at all, "Hey, just now Master Chen specially left three big strips for you, you can take them back and eat them slowly, what are you robbing with us?" ”

Xiao Liewen didn't care, and quickly sandwiched two more pieces, and the plate of blood sausage was already empty.

Okay, Chen Fan, the chef, made two meals of blood sausage today, but he didn't catch a piece, he didn't know how it tasted the first time he made blood sausage, was it delicious or not?

Why is it the first time to do it?

In addition to the time when pigs are killed in the countryside in a few decades, where can you buy fresh pig blood? You can't buy pig blood, and of course you can't make blood sausage.

However, although he has never done it himself, Chen Fan has seen dozens of videos of making blood sausages, and he is already familiar with it, and now his cooking skills have reached level 4, which is comparable to a professional chef in a small restaurant, and it is no problem to boast of making a blood sausage.

It doesn't depend on everyone's reaction, but it's still very good.

Except for Chen Fan just now, the only person who didn't grab the blood sausage was Master Zhu, he didn't grab the blood sausage, but he took a big chopstick back to the pot meat, and then fried pork liver with chopsticks, and ate it happily.

When the others saw it, they were not to be outdone, and stretched out their chopsticks to a few plates of dishes.

Zhang Wenliang is a junior, at first he was embarrassed to grab it from the elders, only ate a piece of blood sausage, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the dishes in the bowl were less than half, and he couldn't care about being reserved,......

Chen Fan held chopsticks in his right hand and a wine glass in his left hand, yes, I'll still eat soft-shelled turtle meat.
