1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"So what are you looking at me for? Who stipulated that the mallets must be dry? And no one stipulated that we can't dig up a lot of mallets at once."

Chen Tiezhu shrugged his shoulders under their gaze.

"So, this is not a big deal. I guess I'm just lucky, after all, Erdaoling is like my backyard."

"Okay, just cut this much. I see there are still some pig intestines, so I'll make you a nine-turn intestine. It's a serious Kung Fu dish, and one intestine is full of flavor."

"Brother Chen, let's not worry about the intestines for now, let's talk about you, the ginseng." Zhou Fengxia spoke.

"This ginseng, I think it's really powerful. I just chewed a ginseng beard, and it's already so powerful. What if I stewed so much ginseng, will it work?"

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "It depends on how you look at it. In fact, the medicinal value of ginseng is not as great as everyone imagines, and it is only a little greater than people think."

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that ginseng can prolong life, and this is not bad. Some of the medicinal properties in ginseng can indeed stimulate potential."

"But what about those feelings you just had? , in fact, there are some illusions in it. Just like drinking white wine, the first sip will definitely be a bit strong. "

"But, if you continue to drink, there will be nothing wrong. In fact, this is also a shortcoming of this stick. As a water ginseng, it has all the effects it should have, but it is even better. "

"But if you want to dry it before using it, the effect will be worse. When you taste the chicken soup today, you will know what's going on. I will clean up the large intestine first. "

After saying that, Chen Tiezhu also got busy directly.

Just as he said, this is also the conclusion he came to after careful tasting.

Everything has its pros and cons, and it is impossible to be perfect.

These ginsengs are the finished products of the forest ginseng he bought and planted in the space, which have such advantages and disadvantages.

And when he said that the nine-turn large intestine is a kung fu dish, it is not just a forced statement to add color to himself.

Whether it is folding, boiling, or the final stir-frying, it tests the skills at hand and the control of the heat.

While he was busy, Doudou was not idle either.

The little guy was delighted to find a big shrimp on the side.

He picked up a toothpick, stood beside the basin, and picked the shrimp thread directly.

His movements were so quick and efficient, just one bend and one pick, and the job was done. If there was any extra movement, you would win.

Zhou Fengxia and the others were dumbfounded.

They were convinced that Chen Tiezhu was quick at work, but how old was Doudou?

Even if they were to pick the shrimp thread, they could not reach Doudou's level.

This little person instantly became the focus of the entire kitchen.

"Is my eldest daughter very good?"

Chen Tiezhu glanced at her and said very proudly.

"Brother Chen, how did Doudou learn it?" Zhou Fengxia asked curiously.

"Just watched me do it once, and then I learned it." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Today we don't have many people, ginseng stewed chicken, nine-turn large intestine, prawns, scorpion head mixed with cabbage heart, vinegar cabbage slices, mushroom fried pork slices, egg soup, six dishes and one soup, enough to eat, right?"

"Hahaha, definitely enough." Old Ma laughed.

"Although I'm not a person who cares about food and drink, I'm also looking forward to today's meal. Brother Chen, do you want to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days so we can have a good gathering?"

"That's really not possible." Chen Tiezhu said.

"After attending the auction of raw stones tomorrow, I have to go to the provincial court to do some work. After finishing the work, I have to take good care of the mushrooms grown at home and let my friends taste them."

"Let's wait until we are done with this busy period. Then we can get together when we have time. I can't compare with you. My family is really busy in the spring."

"Brother Chen is a capable man. He has contracted many acres of land at home. Even when I was in the city, I heard many people talking about this." Zhou Fengxia added.

"It's nothing, I just want to see if farming can really grow new hope." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Xiao Zhou has been to our village, a proper mountain village, and people's lives are not very good. People who dig for food in the soil must put their hopes on the land."

While he was talking, his hands were not idle.

After the cooked large intestines were taken out of the pot and drained, two stoves were lit at the same time.

The left stove was cooking prawns, and the right stove was cooking nine-turn large intestines.

Seeing the prawns and nine-turn large intestines in the two large iron spoons spinning non-stop under Chen Tiezhu's control at different speeds, the faces of several people showedBitter expression.

They can't cook, but it doesn't mean they can't see the tricks.

Chen Tiezhu's two hands are obviously doing different things, and they are not affected by anything.

They have heard of such a skill of fighting with both hands, but they have never seen it.

Chen Tiezhu's cooking skill alone is really amazing.

It didn't take long for the two dishes to come out of the pot.

At least in terms of color, fragrance and shape, there is no problem at all.

The rest of the dishes are even easier to make. After the ginseng chicken is stewed, everything is done neatly.

When the food was served, Zhou Fengxia also brought out a box of Maotai.

"Good guy, Xiao Zhou, are you trying to knock everyone down?" Chen Tiezhu joked.

"You didn't seem to enjoy your drink last time, so drink as much as you can this time. Don't go to the hotel, just stay in my room for one night, since no one usually stays there anyway." Zhou Fengxia said.

"That's fine, as long as my daughter and I have food and sleep, that's fine." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"You all miss the big club, so now you can have a sip of chicken soup and taste it. By the way, help me figure out what price this club should be sold at."

After saying that, he first scooped a small half bowl of chicken soup for his daughter with a spoon.

These people didn't hesitate, and started to taste it directly with a spoon.

They were not people who had never seen the world, and Chen Tiezhu brought them a lot of novelties today. But after they really drank this chicken soup, they were still shocked.

Now the chicken soup only had the medicinal and sweet aroma of ginseng, and you couldn't taste any greasy taste at all.

And this fragrance is much more fragrant than the meal we had at the beginning.

Anything that can be called "fragrant" has its own unique features.

The fragrance of ginseng originally has a smell of earth, but after being boiled, this fragrance becomes a medicinal fragrance.

Even if it is just a spoonful of chicken soup, these people can't stop praising it, which can be said to be a lingering fragrance.

"How is it? Let's not compare with the old mountain ginseng. Is it okay to sell this ginseng for several thousand yuan?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"Brother Chen, this ginseng is really unusual. Did you sell it cheaper?" Old Xu, who is in the antique business, frowned and asked.

The others also cast doubtful eyes.

They all have similar ideas. For such a ginseng, selling it for more than 10,000 yuan, they don't think it is expensive.

But Chen Tiezhu is such a smart person, why does he only think about selling it for a few thousand yuan?

And what they think is more generous is Chen Tiezhu's generosity.

Such a precious thing, but he just casually stewed it into chicken for them. He must have come here for other things today.
