Chapter 499: How lively

For Old Man Wu, Kaoshantun is definitely his home, so he got off the car and shouted to go home for the New Year, which was very righteous.

"Grandpa Wu---", Qiqi was the first to pounce on her with her little arm on her. She always regarded Old Man Wu as a member of the family.

Old Man Wu raised the little guy high above his head, then held it in his arms, poked Qiqi's face with a few stubble: "Don't you miss Grandpa Wu!"

Qiqi hid back while raising her head, and giggled: "Benbian, come here quickly and help."

No need for her to make a noise, Benben was very familiar with Old Man Wu's voice. He had already rushed over with Maomao and the others, surrounding Old Man Wu, with a sense of excitement. Even Chou Chou came over and rushed towards Old Man Wu.

Old Man Wu laughed and really found a feeling of going home.

After a while of concern for his well-being, Old Man Wu's illness was completely cured and he had not come back for nearly a year. He really missed everyone, so he took the time to come back for the New Year.

"Hurry up and invite them in the house. We are the most lively during the Chinese New Year this year, and there are more and more people!" The fat man was not afraid of the excitement, so he hurriedly called everyone into the house. Now there are more than a dozen guests at home: Old Wu, Grandpa and Grandpa, Fat Old Man is also a grandfather and grandpa, Old Man Wu, Gong Wang, and the five veterans of Li Qiang, they are really a big family.

After entering the house, Old Man Wu saw the fat old man at a glance and saluted: "Old Chief, you are really here."

"Who is so loud? It turns out it's Xiao Wu, you're here to celebrate the New Year." The fat old man shook hands with him affectionately, and then Xiao Yingzi also stepped forward to greet Old Man Wu.

The fat man introduced Wang Gong and his cousin Li Xiuyuan to everyone, while Dapianzi and Ye Ying were busy pouring tea. Qiqi and the three little girls washed half a basin of red and wild fruits in the mountains and distributed them to everyone one by one.

The more people gathered in the house, they all came to Wang Gong to write Spring Festival couplets. Wang Gong was not vague. He threw his windbreaker, picked up a brush, brushed it a few times, and the pen was really a big-handed style, and he was not a little better than the fat man.

"Fatty, how are everyone's harvest this year?" Old Man Wu sat on the edge of the kang and chatted with everyone.

"It's still good, the rice harvest is great. I'll try the green rice we grow in a while. In addition, the winery has also been built and produced. Haha, I have also picked up three wine cellars that are more than a hundred years old. Only our Qingshan old cellars will taste delicious." The fat man said in a vernacular way with a roar.

Hearing that Old Man Wu was also excited, he slapped his hands: "Okay, then we must have a good drink tonight."

"Hehe, then I'll go and arrange food. Uncle Wu and Wang Gong, what do you want to eat?" The fat man asked boldly. The two people said in unison: "Hotpot!" They have always missed the mountain delicacies of the fat man's house, and they can't taste this taste elsewhere.

The fat man smiled. It happened that he still had a lot of mutton brought from the grassland, which was absolutely authentic.

During the whole day, the door of the fat man's house was never closed. Everyone came to visit Wang Gong and Old Man Wu in groups, and they were holding some food and drinks, or a little stupid chicken or a piece of pork. Li Xiuyuan, a cousin named Wang Gong, was stunned: No wonder my cousin must come, no one would have to come, it was so enthusiastic.

"Lao Wu, I'm here to see you!" The door of the house was pushed open again, and Wang Sanpao rushed in with a meteor, carrying a string of flying dragons in his hand, and several hares on his shoulders: "Haha, I heard that you are here, I'll go up the mountain directly!"

"I'm still thinking about it, why didn't I see Brother Sanpao!" Old Man Wu slapped each other for a while, and was as intimate as two brothers.

The fat man took Feilong from Wang Sanpao: "It's time to get a pot of shabu, so make soup first."

After going to the outer room, he boiled half a pot of boiling water, and after removing the feathers, he threw it into the pot, put the seasonings, and started to cook the soup. After a while, Wang Sanpao walked out and started cutting mutton slices. He made two large pots and froze it on the outside.

Dapianzi and Ye Ying helped the fat man wash vegetables. In addition to mushrooms and wild vegetables, there were also many green vegetables. The fat man said he brought them back from the greenhouse, so no one asked him about it.

While busy, the owner of the car was carrying a big fat-headed fish and pushed the door: "Lao Wu and Wang Gong are here, I'll show off my skills!"

When the fat man saw the big fish, he said at least six or seven pounds, and said with a smile: "Uncle Boss, today's shabu-shabu, if you get a whole fish banquet, you will go to your house to eat tomorrow."

Even if eating pig-killing vegetables is a whole pig feast, the fat man learned to roast whole lamb from the grassland. However, the most outstanding thing is the whole fish feast of the car owner.

"Are you going to eat hot pot? I happened to get some fish balls for you and put them in to eat." The big fish owner of the car had already cleaned up, chopped off the fish head with one knife, then cut the back and tore off the whole piece of the fish: "Fatty, find a piece of meat skin, I want to chop the fish."

The fat man brought a large piece of the skin that was ready to cook the frozen seeds, and saw the owner of the car spread it on the cutting board, put the fish on the skin, and held the kitchen knife in his hand, and then fell over and knocked it on the fish with the knife back.

Knock with one hand and constantly pick out the big thorns with the other hand, and the remaining small thorns were basically pierced on the skin. In a short while, the fish turned into minced meat, because the fish was big enough and sticky, it seemed that there was no need to add flour to it.

After chopping half a basin of fish minced meat, sprinkle some salt in it, put some minced ginger, wash the Feilong soup in the pot, boil it with boiling water, and everyone put fish meatballs into the pot.

The owner of the car used his hands directly. The fat man was not good at skill, so he scooped it with a small spoon, beat the meatballs in the pot and rolled it out after they were fixed. It was not cooked yet, but they were all crystal white, smooth and delicate, just like a big pearl, which was very gratifying.

"Start the meal--" The fat man shouted, and saw Captain Li running in with a large copper basin, sitting on the stove, adding Feilong Soup, and bringing the same food.

There are several pork slices with three layers of pork, tender mutton slices, and mushrooms, such as bracken and thorny sprouts, white fish balls, and sauerkraut vermicelli... and a large circle is full of place.

There was no place around the stove, so Dabizi led a group of people to the kang table, put a pot of it, and immediately took it out and brought it up.

The fat man poured everyone into the Qingshan Laojiao. When Old Man Wu sniffed it with his nose, he praised: "What a good wine. It's a pity to drink it now. If it's been left for a year or two, it's going to be beautiful!"

Everyone was busy with their own things, scooping two spoons of sesame paste, adding some fermented bean curd and chili flowers, and adding some chili oil to those that can be spicy, and then scattering the meat and eating it.

"The lamb is really good. It's big and thin. It's cooked after rinsing it. It tastes tender and is no less than Donglai's surplus." Wang Gong simply took off his glasses so that there would be a layer of mist on it and there would be no meat stuck in it.

Old Man Wu was even more straightforward, and took off his top and wore a small vest, which was a bit shirtless. It was strange that he could be relaxed at the fat man's house, and he was even more casual than his own.

"Fish balls, fish balls, we want fish balls." A group of little girls shouted slogans on the kang, each with bare arms and a flushed face.

Eating hot pot is just a fun thing, so the fat man also shouted: "If you want to eat it, you have to talk about the origin of the fish balls first."

"I said!" Qiqi raised his slap: "It was when Qin Shihuang. It is said that he liked eating fish, and he had a big temper. He was stabbed by fish bones and killed the cooking kitchen. So the chefs were afraid of making fish. When they saw the fish, they got angry and smashed it hard with the back of the knife. As a result, they found that all the fish bones were smashed out. At this time, Qin Shihuang was anxious to eat it again. A chef boiled the fish meat into meatballs and served it. As a result, Qin Shihuang was very happy to eat it, and the fish balls were slowly promoted!"

Everyone applauded together. At this time, the fish balls were ready. The owner of the car used a colander to catch them. One of them fell to the ground. He suddenly jumped up and was caught in the claws by Maomao.

After a meal, all the big and small pots were found to be the bottom. First, there were many people, and second, the food was lively, and before I knew it, they ate a lot more than usual.

Only then did Li Xiuyuan wipe the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "Fatty, when will you take me to see the honey?"

"We are all in the cellar of the winery, let's take a walk over and have a look." After the fat man said this, Old Man Wu and his team also wanted to go to the winery, so everyone just set off together.

"This scorpion farm was also newly built by us. It has a pool dedicated to breeding crickets and turtles. There is also a natural centipede farm on the hillside. With the winery, it is our new project this year." The fat man was happy, so he drank a little too much and introduced it to everyone in a dizzy way.

"Why are the deer breeding so fast? There are probably more than 100 heads now!" Old Man Wu discovered a new situation again.

"Hehe, this year we went to Daxinganling and brought in a group, which was finally a small scale."

Wang Gong supported his glasses: "It's so fast. In a few years, you will definitely be able to move forward to a well-off society ahead of schedule."

The fat man was so proud: "A well-off society is not our goal. We are going to build the first village in China by Kushantun!"

He led everyone into the winery, and Lao Wu led them to visit, while Fatty and Ye Ying accompanied Li Xiu to see the honey. In the backyard of the winery, he dug more than ten wine cellars, covered with reed curtains, which were more than two meters deep inside, and were very spacious.

There is a cellar that specializes in storing honey. When you open the cellar door, turn the flashlight, and several people climb down the ladder. There are more than a dozen wooden barrels on the shelf. It is not as good as using iron or plastic utensils. There is no suitable glass utensils. It is possible to use a water tank, but it is best to use a wooden barrel. Honey is taken from the essence of plants and complement each other with a wooden barrel.

Especially for linden honey, wooden barrels made of basswood are made of original products, which are the most appropriate. Basswood is also a high-quality wood and is known as "broad-leaved red pine". Lime honey is a rare product. When the linden tree blooms, shiny honey juice seeps out of the stigma in the middle, as crystal clear as dewdrops, which is indeed the most suitable for making honey.

He picked a wooden barrel casually, opened the lid, and immediately emitted a fragrance. Li Xiuyuan sucked his nose twice, then looked into the bucket, and the honey color was light yellow, and he saw the bottom at a glance. He dipped his fingers, and it was sticky and slim, hanging from his fingers to the bucket, and the bottom was as thin as a strand of hair, but it was still unbroken.

Put your fingers in your mouth and licked it. Li Xiuyuan tsks his mouth: "This is the best linden honey I have ever seen. It seems that the price I gave is too low."

After wiping his hands, his face showed a puzzled look: "Strange thing, the temperature here is so low. Logically, the honey has long crystallized into white. I have also collected it in Wandashan and Zhang Guangcailing. The quality is much worse than this. What is the secret of yours?"
