The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The No. 1 Supply and Marketing Cooperative is located in the center of Daohua City. It is also the first supply and marketing cooperative in Daohua City. It can be said to be a time-honored brand.

Salespeople have seen wealthy people here, but not those who buy ham like Wang Meilan.

A sack?

To fill the sack, the cost of ham sausage would be more than enough to buy a pig.

Seeing that the salesperson didn't move, but looked directly at her, Wang Meilan was slightly startled and asked, "What's going on? Is there a purchase limit on this thing?"

"No." The salesperson smiled bitterly and said, "Not that many anymore."

"How many are there?" Wang Meilan patted the counter again, and without waiting for the salesperson's reply, she said, "How many are there? Give me as many as you want. I'll take them all."

When the salesperson heard this, he silently pulled out a dough bag from under the counter, then took advantage of the bag's opening with one hand and took out the ham sausage from the inside with the other.

The salesperson took two ham sausages at a time and placed them firmly on the counter while counting: "One pair, two pairs, three pairs..."

One pair is two sticks, and five pairs is a pile of ten sticks. After counting, the salesperson looked up at Wang Meilan and said, "One hundred and thirty-six sticks."

Wang Meilan reached out to lift the noodle bag placed on the counter and said to the salesperson: "Give me this bag."

"Take it." The salesperson waved her hand generously, then looked at the piles of hams on the counter and asked Wang Meilan, "Sister, you are sure you want these, right?"

"Yes, I want them all." Wang Meilan responded, gave the dough bag to Zhao Jun, and said: "Son, hold on to mom."

Zhao Jun took the bag and held the mouth of the bag with both hands. Wang Meilan grabbed a pile of ham sausages with both hands and put it into the bag. She said to the salesperson: "Calculate how much it will cost. I will give it to you after I finish loading it."

After saying that, Wang Meilan grabbed a bunch of ham sausages and put them into the bag, and the salesperson over there hurriedly settled the accounts.

At this moment, the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative came out of the office. He came over and said to the after-sales clerk: "I'll give this lady eighty-five cents."

When the salesperson heard this, he quickly agreed. At this time, the manager turned to Zhao Jun and his mother and nodded, smiled and asked Wang Meilan: "Sister, where are you from?"

"We are from Yong'an." Wang Meilan answered first, but fearing that the manager would misunderstand that her mother and daughter were from Yong'an Town, she added: "Yong'an Forest District."

"Ah!" The manager nodded with a smile, took out a cigarette from his pocket, gestured to Wang Meilan, and after Wang Meilan waved, he handed it to Zhao Jun.

After being declined by Zhao Jun and his son, the manager lit a cigarette himself, held the cigarette in his hand and gestured to them and said: "Our hometown is from Tuanbei."

"Ah! Is that Tuanbei in Dunhua?" When Wang Meilan heard this, she also smiled and gestured and said: "When you go out from my house, just go to the southeast corner (jiǎ) and pass the post."

"Yes, yes." The manager smiled and nodded: "My family is also in a forest area, Tuanbei Forest Farm."

"Oh!" Wang Meilan exclaimed, her eyes lit up and she said, "That...Wang Hongkui, don't you know him?"

Wang Meilan asked the manager, who was stunned. He didn't even bother to smoke, and just replied: "Why don't you know him? That's my father-in-law!"

"That's my uncle!" Wang Meilan didn't expect that she would meet relatives when she came to buy things. Zhao Jun also didn't expect that he could still have connections with his family while still in this city.

They are very close these days, not to mention that the manager and Wang Meilan are real relatives!

"Oops!" The manager stubbed out his cigarette and threw it on the counter. He stretched out his hand to Wang Meilan and said, "As for my wife, I have to call you aunt."

"That's not good." Wang Meilan held the manager's hand and asked with emotion: "Who is your wife in her family?"

Since the separation of Lao Wang's family, these relatives Wang Meilan have not seen each other again, and it has been more than 20 years!

"The second child." The manager said, "There used to be an eldest sister above me, but she got sick and died the year we moved to Tuanbei."

"Ouch..." Wang Meilan said with regret upon hearing this: "Why is this happening... That girl, I remember that Xiao Qian'er is not in good health."

"That's right." The manager had never met his aunt, but he was able to pick up the conversation and said, "My wife said the same thing."

Suddenly, Wang Meilan said: "I can still remember your daughter-in-law. She was a little girl, heh...how old was she? She had her hair in braids and passed by my door. It happened that my mother fried that little twist, so I gave it back She’s taking it.”

"Ah..." Upon hearing what Wang Meilan said, the manager suddenly realized: "Are you the fifth aunt?"

Wang Meilan said in surprise: "Xiao Cuier told you?"

These days, not only are the brothers and sisters in my own family sorted, but the children in my uncle's family are also sorted into male and female.

Wang Meilan is the fifth aunt among girls of her generation, so her uncle's nephews and nieces call her the fifth aunt.

"I told you! I've been talking about it all day long." After saying this, the manager couldn't help laughing and said: "When we first started dating, I picked her up for a walk, and I mentioned you as soon as she ate fried fried dough twists and honeyed fruits. .”

Small twist flowers are different from hemp flowers. Small twist flowers are less than a stick long and are crispy and crispy. Like honeyed fruits, these two foods are not only expensive, but only the Hui people can make them.

Wang Meilan smiled happily and suddenly remembered Zhao Jun next to her. She quickly pulled Zhao Jun over and said to the manager, "This is your brother from my house."

Then, he said to Zhao Jun's shoulder: "Son, you have to call me second brother-in-law!"

Zhao Jun shook hands with the manager and exchanged names. The manager's surname was You, and his name was You Guangquan.

At this time, Wang Meilan asked about her uncle and brother again. When she heard You Guangquan say that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were gone, Wang Meilan was still a little sad.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jun quickly changed the subject and talked about You Guangquan's work. After talking about You Guangquan's work, You Guangquan asked the Zhao family about hunting.

Although he did not collect the two lynx skins just now, the money was paid by You Guangquan, and You Guangquan came from Tuanbei Forest Farm, so he knew something about the siege.

At the ham counter, no one usually comes to buy anything, but now it's all sold out, and no one comes.

It just so happened that the three of them were chatting here without disturbing others. As for the saleswoman behind the counter, she had already settled the accounts, but when the manager was here to recognize her, would she dare to disturb him?

"Fifth aunt!" You Guangquan suddenly slapped his forehead and said to Wang Meilan apologetically: "What are we chatting about here? Come to my office to talk? Don't leave for a while, I will take you home for a meal .”

"Oh!" When Wang Meilan heard this, she said anxiously: "That won't work. There are still a lot of things at home."

Wang Meilan was thinking about what to say. There weren't many things going on at home, but the people at home didn't make anyone worry. Especially since Jin Xiaomei is not at home yet. If she doesn't go back, the family will definitely be in chaos.

"What's wrong with that!" You Guangquan stretched out one hand towards Zhao Jun and pointed back to his office with the other hand, saying, "Why doesn't my uncle stay at home? Is it okay to have him?"

"Second brother-in-law!" Zhao Jun quickly held You Guangquan's hand, but did not let You Guangquan pull him forward. Instead, he grabbed him and said: "It's too late today, and there are no arrangements at home. You wait. Someday, my mother and I will come over early."

"Yes!" Wang Meilan also said at the side: "Second niece-in-law, we have to leave, otherwise we will not be able to catch the car."

You Guangquan thought for a moment and asked, "Are you going to the town at the foot of your mountain?"

"Yes, yes!" Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly.

Hearing this, You Guangquan said, "It's okay, Fifth Aunt. I'll find a car in a while to take you and my brother to the station."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan heard this and said hurriedly: "Then don't bother."

"No trouble!" You Guangquan reached out and clenched his fist, punched the counter twice, and asked the salesperson who was listening to the excitement: "How much does the ham sausage cost?"

The salesman came back to his senses, took a look, and said to You Guangquan: "Manager You, at eighty-five cents a piece, one hundred and thirty-six is ​​one hundred and fifteen cents."

"One hundred and fifteen..." You Guangquan muttered, then turned back to Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun and said, "One hundred and one."

After speaking, You Guangquan nodded to them.

Zhao Jun understood, and without further ado, he took out the money from his pocket, counted out eleven big unity cards and put them on the counter.

At this time, Wang Meilan pulled open her dough bag, took out a handful of ham sausage, handed it to You Guangquan and said, "Come on, Guangquan, take this back for the child to eat."

You Guangquan quickly declined and said: "Fifth aunt, I am working here, can I lack this food?"

"That's true, haha." Wang Meilan put the ham sausage back into her pocket, and then said to You Guangquan: "Guangquan, when you are free, you and Xiao Cuier can take the child back to our house to have a look. Come to my fifth aunt’s house.”

"Hey!" You Guangquan responded, and suddenly remembered something. He walked a few steps to the wine counter, pointed at it, and said, "Bring me two."

When the wine seller saw the manager coming, he ignored the customers and hurriedly got two bottles of Daohuabai for You Guangquan.

This Daohua Bai is the same as the Yong'an Bai in Yong'an Town. They are home-brewed liquor by the local winery. You Guangquan came to Wang Meilan's side with a bottle in one hand and said: "Fifth Aunt, take this back and give it to me." Uncle!"

"No, we have wine at home!" Wang Meilan just declined when she saw You Guangquan put a bottle of wine on the counter, then took a bottle of wine in one hand and pulled the ham bag with the other.

After filling one bottle, You Guangquan went to get another bottle.

The two families are relatives who have never met, but when Wang Meilan gave You Guangquan ham just now, she was sincere.

Although You Guangquan didn't ask for it, he still accepted Wang Meilan's favor, and he felt that he would be able to have frequent contacts with the Zhao family in the future.

"Brother!" At this time, You Guangquan grabbed the account book on the counter, opened it and tore off a piece of paper, then took out a pen from his pocket, wrote a series of phone numbers on the paper, handed it to Zhao Jun and said: "When will you come back next time? Give your brother-in-law a call in advance."

After Zhao Jun agreed, You Guangquan took Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun to the back and passed through the counter where mountain goods were collected. Under Lao Wu's surprised eyes, You Guangquan took Zhao Jun's mother and son to the backyard and pedaled in person. They were sent out with a manpower in three wheels.

You Guangquan put Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan on the bus, then waved goodbye and left.

Sitting on the bus, Wang Meilan held her bag and said to Zhao Jun: "I wonder what your dad is doing at home? Are you thinking about us?"

"Hehehe..." After listening to my mother's words, Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Anyway, we didn't stay home those two times, but he didn't stop."

"I can't do it today." Wang Meilan also spoke for her old man, saying: "Your Uncle Li didn't stay home today. How can your father be so heartless?"

"That's true." Zhao Jun said: "When we go back, how can we get food, but I don't know what he did during the day."

When Wang Meilan heard this, she pondered for a moment before saying, "We'll find out when we go back and take a look."

"Then why are you looking at it?" Zhao Jun said: "What does my father do so well? If Baoyu and I hadn't discovered it that time, you still wouldn't know how much money he hid."

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Meilan was silent for two seconds, and suddenly she laughed.

Zhao Jun was still surprised and asked: "Mom, why are you laughing?"

"Oh!" Although Wang Meilan sighed, she said with a smile: "I have lived with your father for half my life. I know him very well. If he wants to stay away from home and do no good things, it would be great if he comes home and promises to behave."

…

"Dang Dang Dang..." Chef Zhao cut the potato shreds skillfully. His knife skills are really amazing. The potato shreds were cut finely and evenly.

At this time, Zhao Youcai raised his left hand that was holding the potato slices, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and then continued cutting vegetables.

After all the potato slices were cut into shreds, Zhao Youcai held the knife in his right hand, swiped the knife diagonally against the cutting board under the potato shreds, and lifted up one-third of the potato shreds. Then press with your left hand and put the potato shreds into a small basin filled with water.

At this time, there are several pots on the stove, one with fungus soaked in it, and another with mushrooms soaked in it.

On the ground to the left of the stove, there was a cabbage tree and a big rooster lying looking around.

Today, he lost three hundred yuan, but Zhao Youcai still kept his spirits up, smiled, and prepared to cook a rich dinner for the two families.

In this way, Zhao Youcai was busy until almost six o'clock, and the chicken stewed with mushrooms had been in the pot for a while.

The dishes of shredded potatoes, cabbage, fungus, and rock sugar radish have also been prepared. At this time, Zhao Youcai is putting the rolls in the big pot.

Zhao Youcai, who was in front of the panel, dipped his right hand into the bowl with oil and spread it evenly on the long noodles.

Wait until each strip of dough is coated with oil on the upward side. Zhao Youcai picked up one and put the oily side on the other noodle. Then he held both ends of the dough stick together with both hands, twisted it clockwise and counterclockwise, then stretched it slightly, and dropped a flower roll into the pot.

Today, when steaming the flower rolls, Zhao Youcai didn't use a drawer. Instead, he directly put the flower rolls into the pot and placed them on top of the chicken stewed with mushrooms.

At this time, the chicken and mushrooms were simmered over firewood, and the chicken and mushrooms were no longer covered in the soup noodles. The flower rolls were lying on the vegetables one by one, but as the pot bubbled and steamed, the bottom of the flower rolls was also soaked in chicken soup.

This is Northeastern authentic iron pot stew, wood-fired turkey!

Anyone who knows how to eat knows that this dish is not the best with chicken, nor is it the best with mushrooms. But wait until the end, so that only a little bit of chicken soup is left, and the rice soaked in it is the most delicious!

But Wang Meilan prefers the chicken soup-soaked rolls. In this way, the rolls are soaked in chicken soup as they are cooked. Not only will they not be soaked or broken, but the taste is also amazing!

After putting all the flower rolls into the pot, Zhao Youcai put the lid on the pot, put away the oil bowl and the panel, looked at the east room, the west room, and then walked around the yard. He felt that there were no flaws. Then he returned to the house, sat on the kang, drank tea and smoked a cigarette.

It's past twelve o'clock, but before one o'clock, there is another chapter to be updated.
