Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

"The pork from Chenghua Pig is so plump and rich in flavor that I can't even explain it to you. When you get home, ask your sister-in-law to blanch it in water for 10 minutes, then cut it into thin slices and stir-fry it with chili. Take one bite and you'll know what I'm talking about. What does it mean?"

Seeing the serious expression on Chu Jianghe's face, Zhang Li looked at the pork in his hand again, still dubious.

Apart from looking at the fat and ordinary pork, he couldn't see anything unusual about it.

But this is Chu Jianghe’s kindness after all. Even if he doesn’t lack this thing, Zhang Li is very grateful: “Thank you Jiang He, I’m greedy for what you said. Okay, then I’m not welcome. I’ll let you go when I get back.” Your sister-in-law will try to do it, but I don’t know if your sister-in-law can achieve the effect you say.”

Chu Jianghe was not at all worried about the situation that Zhang Li was worried about. As long as he could cook, even if he couldn't discover the beauty of this thing, it would still be [-] or [-]%. He didn't believe that Zhang Li couldn't eat it.

There is a saying that goes like this: High-end ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.

The food culture of a place is actually closely related to the local products.

The four major cuisines of Sichuan, Shandong, Huai and Guangdong are all developed in areas rich in products.

The inland cities in the north are not rich in products and have limited conditions, so naturally they have not developed any excellent food culture.

It is really a blessing to have a group of Chenghua pigs in Xiaohe Village.

"I told you in advance that this pork is very expensive. I only give you what you have. If you want more, you won't have it unless you buy it with money."

Chu Jianghe gave Zhang Li a vaccination in advance to prevent him from asking for it again after he became addicted to it.

Chu Jianghe was willing to give him more, mainly because the Chenghua pig in Xiaohe Village couldn't be made casually yet.

Although there are already a lot of Chenghua pigs in Xiaohe Village, Chu Jianghe only let Liu Laoshi kill two to satisfy his greed during the New Year, and he was reluctant to part with any more.

I believe it will be different in a few years. When the Chenghua pig population comes up, not only can they be kept for themselves to eat, but they can also be used as Xiaohe Village's secret weapon. By then, this will be regarded as Xiaohe Village's high-end product.

After sending Zhang Li away, Chu Jianghe was just about to prepare to write a couplet, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhiyuan to come as well.

I originally thought about going to their house tomorrow, but it turned out that these two people came to my house one after another.

As the son-in-law of Changnian Town, Zhou Zhiyuan also went to his mother-in-law's house to pay tribute to him a few years ago. This time he stopped by Xiaohe Village to have a look, and brought some greenhouse vegetables with him, which are rare items.

"Jiang He, it's all thanks to your Xiaohe Village that we can solve the county's troubles. In addition to thanking you Xiaohe Village, I also have a merciless request. Don't you have greenhouse vegetables in your village? I'll be shameless and come to order more. Give it to me. Bring some to my mother-in-law’s house.”

Chu Jianghe had gone to his mother-in-law's house a few days ago to give him a gift. He also gave a lot of greenhouse vegetables, meat, tobacco, alcohol and candies. He also sent 1000 yuan, which made his mother-in-law happy. broken.

As for the old lady's place, he didn't forget it, she had already prepared it.

"County Magistrate Zhou, what are you talking about? I've already prepared the old lady's side. You just happened to be here, so take her over by the way."

Chu Jianghe didn't bother to talk to him, so he dragged Zhou Zhiyuan to his home, loaded the vegetables that had been prepared on his car, and then lifted the cloth covering the meat, revealing a whole fan of bright red pork. eye.

Chu Jianghe spoke happily: "County Magistrate Zhou, I specially left this for you. It is all high-quality pork. It weighs more than 100 kilograms. You can't buy it on the market."

Zhou Zhiyuan looked at so much pork and frowned: "Why do I need so much pork from you? There are only a few people in our family. How long will it take to eat this? I'm afraid the meat will go bad before the first month."

Chu Jianghe said calmly: "Save some for yourself and give the rest as gifts."

Zhou Zhiyuan still didn't take it seriously. He was not a dull person, and he had normal relationships. However, during the New Year and holidays, most of the products were tobacco, wine, tea, etc. So what's the point of giving away pork?

Seeing him like this, Chu Jianghe finally realized that despite all his hard work, people still didn't appreciate it. He was really looking at a blind man with flirtatious looks. Zhou Zhiyuan was not a discerning person this time.

But I still want to give some advice: "You never cook at home. I really can't tell you, a grown man. Leaders also have to eat. This is a good thing. I specially left it for you..."

Before Chu Jianghe could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Zhiyuan. He was still unwilling: "Jiang He, thank you for your kindness, but our family really can't finish eating so much pork. It's not easy to get so many vegetables from you." Sorry, what are you saying about pork again?"

Chu Jianghe was anxious: "A little vegetables doesn't matter, this pork is the good thing."

The two of them were fighting over each other and refused to give in. Chu Jianghe thought about it and didn't force it. Zhou Zhiyuan was probably a person who only cared about work and did not have such high requirements for oral pleasure and did not pay attention to the quality of life.

Chu Jianghe gave it up after thinking about it, and picked a piece of good pork for him: "Okay, don't forget it. You can take this piece of pork back no matter what, and let my sister-in-law add some vegetables when she gets back. That's not too much. "

After that, he explained to him in detail how to make twice-cooked pork, and asked his sister-in-law to make it according to his instructions.

Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't resist him, so he had to take the pork.

"Okay, I'll just take this piece of meat. Thank you Jiang He. I'll leave first if I have anything else to do."

Seeing Zhou Zhiyuan get into the car, take a puff of smoke and drive towards the town, Chu Jianghe shook his head secretly.

Before he could explain the origin of the pork, he was impatiently interrupted by Zhou Zhiyuan.

You can only blame him for his lack of knowledge. How could he know that in more than ten years, you will not be able to buy this pork even if you want to?

In the evening, Zhou Zhiyuan's home.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and it is rare for Zhou Zhiyuan to have free time at home. He sits on the sofa and reads the newspaper. Over the past six months, various undertakings in Yongfeng County have developed smoothly, and he is in a good mood.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou was cooking. She was cooking the piece of pork he had brought back from Xiaohe Village, using the same method that Zhou Zhiyuan told Chu Jianghe.

As soon as the meat and side dishes were cooked, the aroma of the meat filled the whole room. Zhou Zhiyuan felt hungry when he smelled the aroma of the meat.

Mrs. Zhou waited for the food to come out of the pot and tasted it first, with an expression of surprise on her face: "Old Zhou, where did you get this meat? It's so delicious!"

Zhou Zhiyuan was about to wash his hands when he said perfunctorily: "Didn't I tell you, this meat is a gift from Xiaohe Village."

Mrs. Zhou also knew Chu Jianghe. When Lao Zhou mentioned Xiaohe Village, she thought of him.

"You can ask Jiang He tomorrow if the meat is still available. Let's buy more."

Zhou Zhiyuan washed half of his hands at this time and was a little impatient: "It's not all pork. What's the difference? Do you have to go to Xiaohe Village to buy it?"

Mrs. Zhou crossed her waist and said dissatisfiedly: "I can't tell you, a big man like you. Forget it, I will go to Xiaohe Village in person tomorrow and at least ask Secretary Hu's family to send some."

Zhou Zhiyuan didn't bother to wash his hands at this time, and said in surprise: "Are you going in person? Can Secretary Hu's family lack this little pork?"

Mrs. Zhou glared at him: "I see that you are so busy with your work that you don't eat any human fireworks. This pork is obviously different from ordinary pork. It tastes very delicious. This is the first time I have eaten it with you in so many years." I don’t think Secretary Hu’s family may have access to such fragrant pork if they want to eat it.”

Zhou Zhiyuan was stunned for a while, then sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of pork and stuffed it into his mouth. After savoring it carefully, he remembered what Chu Jianghe said to him, with a wonderful expression on his face.
