1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Tiezhu, have you started to stew the ginseng soup?" He Jianguo shouted. "Not yet, I'm just preparing. Is this chicken stewed for the second master?" Chen Tiezhu came out. "Stew it for the second master, it's the best for replenishing qi and blood. I know you don't have any utensils at home, so I even brought a casserole." He Jianguo said. "Okay, it's not my turn to be polite, everyone rest in the house." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile. He Jianguo was right, ginseng chicken soup is indeed good in replenishing qi and blood. Of course, if it can be combined with other Chinese medicines, it would be even better. But now there is no such condition, one more chicken will do. For many Chinese medicinal materials, using a casserole or ceramic pot to boil will have a better effect. Because such a pot transfers heat evenly, it can better stimulate the efficacy of the medicine. After letting everyone into the house, Chen Tiezhu also started to get busy. After killing the chicken, adjust the temperature with water in the thermos and scald it directly to remove the feathers. After cleaning up, cutting it into pieces and soaking it in water, he picked up the ginseng again.

"Just throw it in and stew it?" Li Yinglin, who came out to watch the fun, asked with a smile.

"I dare not do that. After the second master recovers, it will be good to use half of this ginseng." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"In a while, I will cut it into slices and leave it for the second master to make ginseng soup. You can divide the rest, go home and get an old hen, and stew it and eat it."

"My God, isn't that a waste? What are you going to eat for us? You keep it." Li Yinglin said hurriedly.

"This thing, unless it is truly processed, it can be stored for a few more days. Otherwise, once it is cut, it is not so easy to preserve, and it does not have such a good medicinal effect." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"This is not dry ginseng. I guess they are from other places. Don't worry. I will make soup for the second master today, mainly with roots."

Li Yinglin opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but it was difficult to speak. Even what he was going to say was a little inappropriate now.

"Old Li, is it about my spoils of war?" Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"I'm wondering, why do I feel more and more that you are a cunning, cunning kid?" Li Yinglin was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly.

"We also did a proper inventory, Wang Lifeng went to the town to get a camera. The remaining game will be left in your village after taking pictures."

"But when we continued to count, we found that they didn't have much money. We discussed it with Captain Jiang and decided to leave it like this."

"You were so chaotic when you were fighting, and the wind was so strong, who knows where it blew. And..., that gun that no one has seen, don't use it in the future."

"Good guy, I kept some things secret, and you got them all?" This time it was Chen Tiezhu's turn to be a little surprised.

Money is easy to talk about, but he didn't mention the gun at all.

Li Yinglin looked at him with amusement, "We are not blind or stupid. We can't tell what kind of gun shot the bullet holes on the tree trunks?"

"But I don't know how you scared these people. Anyway, they dare not say a word. That's it. Anyway, we have already made a contribution by catching them."

This is the main reason why he came out to speak.

Unexpectedly, Chen Tiezhu wanted to send them ginseng slices home to taste, as if they had done something shameful, so he didn't say it.

"Thank you, Brother Li. This is the first time I have seen a gun. It's really rare. But I mainly use a bow for hunting. I buried it in the forest." Chen Tiezhu said.

"I have some money. I plan to build a mushroom house for me in the future. We often eat wild game here, so we don't need that. You can take some from the station and take the rest to the county bureau to improve everyone's food."

"Oh..., okay, that's it. The taste of this pickled cabbage today is also very good. I will have a full meal later." Li Yinglin smiled and nodded.

He was very happy about Chen Tiezhu's "honesty" and just said that he would not let it get out of hand in the future.

No one is opening a door on the roof, so we have to be polite.

Not to mention that their achievements this time were all made by hand. Even if they were to face this group of people, it was hard to say whether they could come back alive with such a strong firepower.

The ginseng chicken soup was stewed, and the sauerkraut in the pot was also stewed, and it was directly served in a bowl.

"Captain Jiang, try Tiezhu's cooking. You can't taste this stewed sauerkraut even if you go to the county guesthouse." Li Yinglin said with a smile.

"Although I haven't eaten it yet, I believe it when I smell it. But don't call me Captain Jiang all the time. I'm just a deputy." Jiang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Who doesn'tYou know what? Old Ma is about to retire, so he just promoted you to the position? Otherwise, why would Director Hu send you here this time? "Li Yinglin said with a smile.

"As if my job is so easy, didn't Director Hu talk to you? Don't you have to hide in the town?" Jiang Chaoyang shot back.

"Hehe, that's a must. It's not as comfortable as staying in the town in the county." Li Yinglin was a little proud.

"At least when I feel hungry, I can ride a motorcycle to Tiezhu to improve my life. Can you do it? Even if I tell you what to eat, do you have the time?"

"Let me say that if you have time, you really have to come. Whether you come in a group or go it alone, come if you can." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Without your help, I will have to wait until midnight even if I walk out of the mountain. Everything is packed. If you dare to go to the hospital again, the earliest time will be noon tomorrow."

"Second Master is weak. These two days are particularly critical for him. Let's not say anything else. It's all in the wine. Let's go."

No one played those empty words, because what Chen Tiezhu said was very real. Just drink it.

After drinking this cup, there was no need for Chen Tiezhu to greet them. Everyone just picked up their chopsticks and ate.

"This is a good young man. No matter where you go to eat, you can't pretend." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Uncle Jianguo, the key is that Tiezhu's stewed sauerkraut is really delicious. You can't taste it in other places. I have to get some cabbage later so that he can store sauerkraut." Li Yinglin took over the conversation.

"When I'm hungry, I'll bring meat to him to improve my life. Let these guys envy me. They don't have the advantage of my location. It would be great if Doudou was at home. The little guy also smells delicious when eating. "

"Hehe, tonight, Tiezhu will have to bear it." He Jianguo drank a sip of wine happily and glanced at Chen Tiezhu.

Speaking of his precious daughter, Chen Tiezhu was also very troubled.

Although the little girl is very well-behaved, she also has a temper.

No matter what, I have deceived her this time. How can I coax her back?
