Reborn Almighty Life

Enlong in August is the hottest season of the year. The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, pouring down endless heat, and the whole world is ablaze.

On the camphor tree in Gu's yard, cicadas and beetles were screaming crazily, as if the air had become hotter.

However, what was more unsettling than the hot weather at this time was the strong fragrance wafting from downstairs. Xu Guinan stopped playing the guitar and lay with Gu Fei on the third floor balcony looking down.

.

I saw Uncle Gu Fei smearing the one-foot-square pieces of pork belly with salt and honey water, then putting them into the oil pan for deep-frying.

Everyone knows that this is a process of Zhuangjia pork belly. After the boiled pork belly encounters high-temperature oil, it is quickly fried until the skin is crispy and the aroma is overflowing. The pork skin is coated with honey water.

In addition, numerous small holes had been poked with bamboo skewers before, so it quickly became fluffy and the color was very beautiful.

In the banquets of Zhuang farmers, braised pork is undoubtedly one of the dishes with the most complicated process and the longest time, and it is deeply loved by the masses.

When making braised pork, in addition to the selection of ingredients, craftsmanship and seasoning are still very important. If the pork skin cannot be crispy, the fat meat is soft, and the lean meat is weak, then it is a failure.

"Brother Fei, your family is hosting a grand event this time. The banquet at my house is probably only about ten or twenty tables!" Luo Jiahua silently calculated the scale in front of him and felt a little emotional.

Luo Jiahua and Gu Fei have been classmates for four years. They knew to some extent that Gu Fei's family was well off, but they didn't expect that the Gu family was so generous. Nowadays, it is not easy for rural families to provide for a college student. They can save money on many things.

Province.

"As you know, our family and grandma's side have many relatives, and people from the village are willing to come. It would be inappropriate to have too few!" Gu Fei nodded and said, "I'll go down and get some fried kidney rolls, let's eat some to satisfy our cravings.

!”

I'm so young, I'll starve to death!

Students like Gu Fei were at the most foody stage in their lives. Not long after lunch, they felt hungry again due to the smell of fried meat.

"Pig head!" Seeing Gu Fei coming downstairs, He Xiaolan followed suit and silently helped Gu Fei carry his things.

The parents of the Gu and Lu families saw it, and if nothing else, He Xiaolan's diligent appearance made them very happy.

Seeing this scene, Li Hongmian and other teachers Qiyou had nothing to say. The couple had already made it semi-public when they were in school, and they both got admitted to Fuhua University. Gu Fei even got the top prize in Guangxi Province,'

The idea that early love affects learning has no effect on them.

In addition to fried waist rolls, Gu Fei also made some side dishes such as fried peanuts, and brought them to a group of classmates on the third floor to drink some cold beer while chatting.

Children from strong families are born with the ability to drink, and parents generally do not restrict their children from drinking. After graduating from junior high school, as long as they don't get drunk, they will be fine.

So everyone drinks some beer as a drink to relieve the heat.

…………

As the sun gradually turns westward, the aroma of the grain drying field becomes stronger and stronger. Zhao Mingshan, as the "number one", has very good control over the pace of the banquet preparations. The chef in charge is also very experienced, and the progress of processing the ingredients is just right.

The guests who came to attend the 'Enrollment Banquet' took action spontaneously and arranged seats and benches. The banquet has entered the countdown stage.

"Brothers, let's go down and help. No one is drunk, right?" After hiding upstairs for a long time, it finally came in handy, Gu Fei shouted quickly.

"Brother Fei, who are you looking down on?" Du Quanyou drank the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and shouted: "I will drink you down later!"

Du Quanyou's words attracted a burst of agreement from others. Gu Fei won the first prize in the exam and had a girlfriend. These people have long been unhappy. If he can stand up and leave the wine table tonight, he is considered a great person!

Seeing Gu Fei being attacked by a group of people, He Xiaolan didn't say anything and looked on with a smile.

He Xiaolan was naturally aware of the deep feelings between Gu Fei and several of his classmates. He complained and said harsh things just because of the relationship.

When the group of people went downstairs, they didn't need to be assigned by adults, and fell into their roles easily. After all, everyone comes from rural families, and they have participated in such banquets many times, and they can understand it without anyone teaching them.

The boys with quick hands and feet picked up the trays and took on the heavy responsibility of serving the food, while the girls were more careful and handed out bowls, chopsticks, drinks, beer and cigarettes at the table. He Xiaolan didn't understand much, but Gu Xue was by her side to take care of her.

Give her pointers.

Speaking of which, the banquet prepared by the Gu family is indeed of a much higher standard than that of ordinary families. For example, the drink is Coca-Cola instead of pineapple refreshment produced by a local small factory, the ice-cold beer is served instead of Tu Maotai (home-brewed rice wine), and the cigarettes are not three-dimensional.

A package of three pagodas costs 1 yuan, but Hongtashan costs 10 yuan.

Gu Jianye was happy this time, and since Gu Fei had made a fortune, Gu Jianye simply spent all the money he had saved in the past few years on this banquet. One hundred and twenty tables, with a standard of 300 yuan per table, was not a big deal in this era.

It's quite a big deal.

You know, this time the Gu family will not accept gifts from guests!

Gu Fei, nearly thirty of his classmates, cousins ​​from relatives and neighbors, carried trays like butterflies through flowers, shuttled among more than a hundred tables, and served the dishes prepared by the chef like flowing water.

In the Zhuang family's banquet, white-cut chicken and white-cut duck are naturally indispensable. The selected local chicken and duck are simply boiled to retain the most rustic taste of the chicken and duck itself, which is enough to attract the taste of diners.

In addition, the Gu family also prepared a roast duck dish that has only become popular in the county in the past two years. In order to let guests eat freshly baked roast duck, the Gu family even asked a roast duck master to bring a roast duck oven to the Gu family and cook it on site.

Braised pork, sausages, barbecued pork and fried loin rolls are also indispensable dishes for the Zhuang family banquet. These hard dishes with complicated production techniques and solid ingredients have become standard.

In addition, various dishes such as pork ribs with stewed lotus root, sweet and sour carp, etc. were also served one after another. The presentation was average, but the taste was not bad, and the portions were amazing.

This is also the characteristic of rural banquets nowadays. They need to be large in quantity and affordable, otherwise they will be considered stingy.

A few years later, the banquets held by the villagers were gradually held in hotels in the city. The dishes were better-looking and more expensive, but they were no longer as simple as they are now.

Which one is better or worse, no one can tell.

…………

The Gu family had a lot of helpers and prepared enough ingredients. Plus, the weather was hot, so there was no need to worry about the dishes being cold and not tasty. After nearly half an hour of work, 120 tables of banquets were served at the same time!

With 10 people per table and more than a thousand people gathered together, the scene was so lively that the awning could almost be overturned.

Gu Shuli looked at the lively scene in front of him. This was probably a scene that his father had always remembered, right?

People like to lament when they get old. Gu Fei's passing the first prize this time is just a good start. Gu Shuli hopes that he can become better so that he will not let down the grand scene in front of him!
