    Chapter 396 Visiting the Village for Inspection

    "I said Wen Yi, your old man, please stop talking nonsense, let us rush here from the provincial capital eagerly. I think this mountain village is no different from other rural areas. I don't need to look at it to know that it is dirty inside, with cow dung and sheep on the roadside.  There are piles of manure, and you may step on your feet if you are not careful" A fat-headed middle-aged man started to complain as soon as he got out of the car.

    "I said I wouldn't let you come, but you still come. Who do you blame? I didn't have much hope this time. It's just that the old man pressed me hard, so I came here." The door on the other side opened, and a man wearing glasses came out.  Man.  His name is Ge Wenyi, and he runs an aquatic product restaurant in the provincial capital.  The man who complained at first was called Fatty Cao, and he was his friend.

    In recent years, hotels and restaurants have blossomed everywhere, and business has become increasingly difficult. Ge Wenyi is currently considering a transformation, but cannot find a way out.  The old man didn't know where he heard that the fish in Liujiagou were of good quality, especially the eel, which was very delicious, so he kept urging him to come and inspect it.

    It was talked about so many times that Ge Wenyi had to bring a few people to have a look.

    ????????????????? But he didn¡¯t have much hope, he just thought of it as a country trip and then go back after dinner.

    After several people drove into the village, they discovered that the environment in the village was not what they had guessed.  The roads are all padded with sand and are quite smooth.  The houses in the village were not the big tile-roofed houses they imagined. They were all Western-style buildings, which looked quite grand. What made them even more curious was that there were trash cans at regular intervals along the roadside.

    Seeing the farmhouse sign, Fatty Cao immediately stopped the car.

    When Er Mazi saw a guest over there, he also greeted him with a smile.

    It is said that the farm food here is good, and they are also willing to taste it.  As soon as I sat down in the private room, I ordered some home-cooked food.

    When the dishes were served, several people became picky again.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but neither the knife skills nor the cooking quality of this dish are as good as those in our own restaurant, the only thing that is better is the freshness.  They had been hungry for a long time after traveling for a long time, but now they tasted pretty good.

    Farm food is like this. It tastes better than vegetables grown in greenhouses, so they don¡¯t find it strange.

    When the fried eel was served, everyone¡¯s eyes widened.

    In this weather, no one wants to eat greasy food, so they order fried eel just to see what¡¯s good about it.

    Looking at the fat eel on the plate, everyone was sure that it was fed with feed.  I don¡¯t know who the old man heard this from, how could this be delicious?

    "Come on, Lao Cao, you are a gourmet, let's try how it tastes first. We are all tired of eating eels." Ge Wenyi pushed the plate to Fatty Cao and looked at him expectantly.  Judging from the appearance alone, he really didn't realize how unusual this fried eel was.  At most, he is just a little bigger, probably because of fattening.

    Fatty Cao didn¡¯t have so many taboos. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a large piece and put it in the bowl.

    When he took a bite, the skin was crispy and the meat was smooth and refreshing He couldn't help but be surprised after chewing it, was this eel meat?  Why does it smell like this.

    People often say that a big mouth eats the world, and it can be seen from Fatty Cao¡¯s body shape that he is a foodie.  This person traveled all over the country and tasted all kinds of rare dishes from Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Huaiyang, but this simple peasant dish gave him a different taste.

    I picked up another piece of eel meat and chewed itwell, not badanother piece

    A few people stared at him, it seemed that this guy was very delicious.  Ge Wenyi was the first to ask, "Lao Cao, how does it taste?"

    "Hmm um" Fatty Cao nodded while eating, not even thinking about talking to him.

    The remaining people began to try to use chopsticks. The bones were crispy and the meat was fragrant, and the eel meat melted when chewed.

    ¡°It¡¯s delicious, it¡¯s definitely not from feed.¡±

    "Yes, it should be a wild eel."

    "Didn't they just say they were raised by a family?"

    Several people were commenting while eating. In a moment of confusion, Fatty Cao had already pulled most of the plate into his own bowl.  There was only one piece left on the plate, but Ge Wenyi caught it.

    "Wen Yi, didn't you say you're tired of eating meat?" Fatty Cao joked.

    "Haha, this is different. How about we order another meat dish?" Ge Wenyi had lost his original reserve and was looking forward to it.

    ¡°Boss, give us your crock pot chicken stew¡± Fatty Cao pointed at the menu on the wall and shouted.

    "Okay, do you want the first one or the second one?" Er Mazi asked in response.

    "Is there any difference between these two?" Fatty Cao found that there were two crock pots of chicken stew in the price list, and the price of one of them was more than ten yuan higher.

    "Haha, of course there is a difference. The first one is the firewood we feed with grain at home."?.  The second one belongs to Liu Junhao's family, as does the eel just now.  Their chicken is of the highest quality, so the price is also high.  "Er Mazi explained.

    You are not convinced. Chickens are hatched from the same eggs. However, when Liu Junhao¡¯s chickens are grown, the meat tastes more creamy and fragrant. People in the village say that it is because his chickens often eat fish.

    It¡¯s a strange thing. Most chickens rarely catch fish. Liu Junhao¡¯s family may have it because of the environment.  Those hens are more powerful than the other. They usually patrol the ditch. When they see a fish in the water, they immediately spread their wings and stretch their heads to peck at it, just like ducks.

    "Oh, then give us an expensive one." After hearing what he said, the three of them became interested and wanted to see what the difference was between chickens fed with grain.

    ¡°Bleeding, plucking, disemboweling¡­Er Mazi¡¯s series of chicken killing processes is very smooth.  In less than ten minutes, the chicken pieces were already in the pot.

    First use fire to remove the smell of blood, then stir-fry over high heat. Pick up the chicken pieces and throw them into a crock pot. Add fennel, pepper, jujube, wolfberry and other ingredients.  The main thing of crock pot chicken stew is stewing and soaking the ingredients into the meat.

    After stewing for ten minutes, grind sesame oil and pour half a spoonful of it. The fragrance is full and the color is translucent, making you appetizing just by looking at it.

    When it was put on the table, everyone stretched their necks to look at the jar, with expressions of anticipation on their faces.

    ¡°Come on, come on, you guys have a try, again, if it¡¯s not delicious, I don¡¯t want money.¡± Er Mazi is quite confident in his craftsmanship.  Well, the ingredients are good and it tastes delicious no matter how you make it.

    The chicken soup is bright, with a thin layer of oil floating on top, and half a chicken leg in the middle, which is golden and shiny.  Plus there are bright red jujubes, wolfberries, dark red pepper chunks, white and tender scallions, and clear coriander floating on the side.  The whole dish is indescribably tempting

    Fatty Cao first took a piece and put it in his mouth to taste, then gave a thumbs up.  As soon as you bite along the chicken skin, the elastic chicken becomes smooth in your mouth, and the spicy taste that comes out after chewing makes people take a deep breath but can't stop.

    The man named Xie Dongqiang took a spoonful of chicken soup, put it into a bowl and tasted it carefully.  He is a cook, so he naturally knows that the key to this dish is the soup. As long as the soup is good, the taste will be unmistakable.

    The soup is rich in flavor and the meat is tender and smooth. It melts in your mouth with just one bite. It is smooth but not greasy, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.  The taste is simply not comparable to that of frozen artificial broilers in restaurants.

    After only two tastes, Xie Dongqiang knew that he couldn't make it, mainly because he didn't have the ingredients.

    After several people ate it, they all cheered.  He waved his chopsticks and spoon at the earthen pot, completely ignoring Er Mazi's existence.

    Fatty Cao was even more outrageous. He didn't care about his image at all. He stretched out his head and opened his mouth against the edge of the bowl, just like an old turtle sucking water. With a slurp, he drank most of the soup in the bowl.  When I raised my head, my mouth was full of chicken fat. At the end, I smacked my mouth and praised: "It is indeed an authentic chicken. The chicken soup alone will make people give it a thumbs up."

    Seeing that they were convinced, Er Mazi walked out of the private room with a smile, and said to himself: "The Hao family's chicken, coupled with my craftsmanship, I still can't say anything bad after eating it."

    Of course, when he was proud, he was rarely generous. He went into the kitchen and put a few steamed buns in a sieve and brought them up.

    ¡°Boss, we don¡¯t want steamed buns?¡± Xie Dongqiang asked doubtfully.

    "This is for you to taste for free," the steamed buns are steamed in-house with a pot lid, mixed with the natural fragrance of wheat straw and wheat, and are just right to eat with chicken soup.

    Everyone at the table no longer cared about their appearance. They rolled up their sleeves and kept holding their chopsticks. Ge Wenyi even loosened his belt a few times.

    The five of them drank up all the chicken soup in the earthen pot in a short time. When they paid the bill, Fatty Cao couldn't stop burping, which made Er Mazi laugh out loud.

    "I said, Master, where does the Liu Junhao you mentioned live? Take us to see it." At this moment, Ge Wenyi finally made up his mind.

    "Why are you looking for him? Do you want him to provide eels for your hotel?" Er Mazi said with a smile, "It's useless to look for him"

    "Why, even if you pay a high price?" Ge Wenyi asked doubtfully.  This type of eel and chicken can be used as signature dishes in your own restaurant.  He had already thought about buying a piece of leather. When he went back, he would change the plate to imitation blue and white porcelain. Even if the service was better, someone would eat it for a few hundred yuan a portion.

    He has now made plans to monopolize and take over all the eels from Liu Junhao¡¯s family later.

    "Haha, you think you are the only ones who have the vision, and the guests who come here are fools, and they can't see the business opportunities?" Er Mazi scolded.

    When these people first came here, they were not very good at it. When they entered the restaurant, they found a lot of problems ranging from the environment to the service. He was already dissatisfied.  If it weren't for the tourist, he would have reprimanded him long ago, so now that he has the opportunity, he would naturally say a few words.

    &nbsp"Let me tell you, people come to him every now and then to ask for cooperation, but they have never agreed. No matter how high the price is, it is useless. If you want to eat eels, you still have to come to Liujiagou" Er Mazi said  It's not a lie. There were countless people who came to his door with money and wanted to cooperate with Liu Junhao, but he rejected them all.

    "Why is that?" Everyone thought it was strange. If you can make more money but not make more money, you are not a fool.

    "The main thing is the production. This person is lazy and only raises eels in the yard. The production has not increased, so the supply exceeds the demand."

    After listening to Er Mazi¡¯s words, several people were a little reluctant and still insisted on going.

    "The Hao family is easy to find. Just follow this road out of the village. The first one is at the east end. His house is very conspicuous. There are clusters of green villas in front of the door and a big locust tree." See how many people don't break through the south.  Qiang refused to give up, and Er Mazi went with them.  When you see the owner, you will know that you are not lying.

    There is a gurgling stream on the roadside of a rural house, and a wooden bridge spans the ditch. Coupled with the branches and leaves of morning glories, it looks simple and natural, just like in a painting.  There are groups of green ducks, wild ducks, and cormorants beside the ditch. In front of the door is a monkey. This guy is tinkering with the roots of the tree with a short bamboo pole, and he doesn't know what he is looking for.

    It is not uncommon to see monkeys in the mountains, but judging from its appearance, it is obviously domesticated.

    When Wukong saw the visitor, he immediately jumped forward and stretched out his paws to beg for food, but saw that they had no intention of giving it.  The guy squeaked a few times and slipped away again.

    When the mountain breeze blew, several people were a little tipsy and forgot the purpose of coming. They couldn't help but stand by the ditch and look at the surrounding environment.

    Crossing the bridge, they were even more shocked by the two big blazes.  Of course, the densely packed bird's nests in the woods also made them feel like they were in a bird's paradise.

    "Quack" Suddenly there were several screams of cormorants coming from under the bridge.

    " Following Qingzhuang, all the water ducks screamed, especially the leading Qingzhuangs dived into the water crazily.

    Liu Junhao is peeling sunflower seeds for his wife at the moment. The sunflowers in the courtyard still have green leaves and no signs of withering. They are expected to last longer. Originally, they should not pick the flower trays at this moment.

    But his wife suddenly wanted to eat it, so Liu Junhao had to break off half of it.  Sunflower seeds have plump kernels and a moist and refreshing aroma.

    At this moment, there happened to be no one in the yard, so he peeled the pieces one by one and put them on the plate. When they were almost done, Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and ate them.

    In fact, sunflower seeds are the most delicious at this time. They are rich in water, crisp and tender, and are smooth and delicious in the mouth.  Wait until they are dried in the autumn sun before eating. The melon seeds will be dry and astringent, and the taste will be much worse.

    The couple just sat under the neem tree, very satisfied and comfortable.  They did see the group of people outside the hospital, but they didn't come in. Liu Junhao just thought they were here to see the fire, so he didn't go up to say hello.

    Hearing the chirping of birds outside, Zhang Qian immediately became alarmed and quickly pushed her husband, "Go and see what's going on?"

    Seeing Qingzhuang shouting urgently, Liu Junhao did not dare to delay. He threw half of the flower plate in his hand and ran out.

    I saw various waterbirds flapping their wings and pecking on the shore, with my own Qingzhuang birds leading the way.  It was turbid under the bridge, and black shadows could clearly be seen swimming under the bridge.

    It must be that the otters are poaching water birds again. Seeing this situation, Liu Junhao has already thought of the reason.

    ??????????? Those Qingzhuangs are the silly and bold type. Although they are over one meter tall, they are no match for otters in the water.  When I was catching otters, I almost got pulled into the middle of the river. Chitu was there to help me.

    Afraid that Qingzhuang would suffer a loss, Liu Junhao didn't bother to say hello to the people on the opposite side and hurriedly got over to drive them away.

    After being driven away, several Qingzhuang were not reconciled. Instead, they lingered not far away and barked, seemingly wanting to rush up at any time.

    Liu Junhao shouted, and Baoyu poked his head out from under the bridge, with a plump cormorant in his mouth.  Judging from the way the cormorants kept kicking, it was obvious that they were not dead yet.

    "Bring the cormorants over and see if they can be saved." Zhang Qian also walked to the bridge at this time and shouted quickly.

    In fact, there was no need for her to shout. When Baoyu saw his master, he immediately sent the prey to the shore.  Several other otters also came out of the hole and screamed excitedly around them.
