Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

Chapter 14 Popular Herbal Tea

It's a pity that some people don't understand the style. As soon as Yi Zhonghai saw her, he scolded her: "Lou Xiao'e, you came just in time! Look at the immoral things your Xu Damao did!"

Then, in front of Lou Xiao'e, he actually told Xu Damao about playing the stupid pillar.

Saying this in front of Lou Xiao'e is like a kind of blasphemy against her. Besides, Silly Zhu doesn’t want to lose face?

Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what Xu Damao had done.

He stepped forward and pulled Xu Damao's ears fiercely and dragged him back home.

As for an apology, it doesn’t exist! Silly Zhu deserves it. Why didn't he apologize when he beat Xu Damao?

The fat man waited until Lou Xiao'e left before he said, "What a good guy." No wonder everyone who moves into a courtyard wants to mess with Lou first...

Which man can refuse a woman who cares about him wholeheartedly and is as gentle and tolerant as a big sister?

Having met Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, Fatty had met all the main characters in the courtyard.

No, there was an old deaf lady who was missing, but the fat man didn’t want to see her either.

This old lady is just like Sha Zhu. What he remembered most clearly was a plot in the TV series where He Yuyu went to the backyard to look for her before he had eaten. As a result, the old lady clearly had some noodles, but she hid them all...

※※※※※※※

The next day Fatty got up early. I'm going on a picnic today, no, I'm going to work.

Taking advantage of this time, I first heated up the herbal tea I brewed yesterday on the stove, then poured it into the aluminum pot for soup, and took it to the Red Star Factory.

When entering the factory gate, the security officer came up curiously and opened the lid and smelled again and again: "What is this?"

"Herbal tea, I brought it out today to quench the thirst of the employees."

As soon as he heard this, he wanted to go back to the duty room to get a teapot to taste the saltiness. The fat man quickly stopped him and said, "You can't drink it yet, it's bitter! You have to add water."

Among the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, only the bitterness is the most daunting.

Just like now, when the fat man says it's bitter, the security officer will immediately let him go; otherwise, if he says it's spicy, someone who doesn't believe in evil will definitely come up and say, "Really? I like spicy food the best." Then he almost spits fire... …

After entering the kitchen, the fat man poured the herbal tea into the soup bucket in the kitchen, mixed it with a bucket of water, and then sat on a chair smoking a cigarette in a daze.

After a while, people started to arrive one after another. Except for Silly Zhu who was still lying on the bed, the people in the cafeteria started working in an orderly manner under the leadership of two old masters.

Facts have proved that even Silhu will continue to work without him in the third cafeteria of Red Star Factory.

Although there is no need to cook for the employees today, the fire in the furnace cannot be extinguished.

Master Wang does not have enough prestige to influence the MCA group without giving any orders. He might as well just add fuel to the fire himself.

Seeing that something was still cooking in the soup bucket, the fat aunt asked curiously: "Who did this?"

The fat man hurried over and said, "Auntie, this is the herbal tea I brewed. I will carry it to the car later and give it to the employees to drink when they are thirsty."

When Master Wang heard this, he took a spoon over and tasted some. He smacked his lips and said, "Honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, licorice... Fatty, are there any Cantonese in your family?"

Of course there are no Cantonese people, but Fatty is a true Sichuanese in another world.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Master Wang explained: "This is a Cantonese-style herbal tea recipe. Although there is a word "liang" in the name, you have to be careful when drinking it. Not only is it not cold at all, but it can also easily burn if you drink it in a hurry. to the throat."

Liu Lan asked jokingly: "Is that still called herbal tea? Isn't herbal tea supposed to be like the Arctic Ocean? It's best to chill it in cold water and drink it cold. It's so satisfying!"

Master Wang smiled and shook his head: "You said this is called cold water, but that is not called herbal tea."

"..."

So what exactly is herbal tea?

By the time ten o'clock came in the morning, the workers had been working in the village for an hour or so. They were also a little thirsty and came to the car.

After taking half a jar of herbal tea from Liu Lan and drinking it down in one gulp, she soon broke out into a thin layer of sweat.

Some people were so hot that they took off their shirts, leaving only a hurdle vest underneath; more people kept wiping sweat with their sleeves.

What is this? The taste was weird; the fat man also came over and drank some. Well, a small bag of instant coffee was brewed with double the water, and then a small bottle of sunflower dew was added. The taste was right!

But it's not unpleasant to drink. On the contrary, its taste is very layered, and the feeling in your stomach is very warm.

But after a while, a cool feeling seemed to appear out of thin air, rushing out from their bodies!

The dry mouth and tongue that had just been working were "pulled out" by this coolness without any fuss! Not only quenches thirst, but also relieves fire!

On the other side, Fatty and the others also delivered herbal tea to the factory leaders.

Deputy Director Li knew his skills. After listening to him explain the results, he took a shallow sip and found that it was not unpleasant to drink, so he quickly drank a bowl.

After finishing one bowl, he wiped his mouth and felt that it was not enough. He said to the fat man, "Have another bowl."

The fat man served him another bowl, but after Deputy Factory Director Li took it and took two sips, he put the bowl down and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why do I suddenly feel thirsty and can't drink anymore? "

The fat man answered: "One cup of this thing in the dog days of summer will last half a day, otherwise it wouldn't be called herbal tea."

Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction: "What a herbal tea. Fatty, you are really attentive."

After speaking, he lowered his voice again: "Show your real skills tonight. Do you still have the parsnips from last time?"

"It's all ready."

"..."

Today, the herbal tea brought by San Canteen was a great success.

Under the deliberate publicity of Fatty Aunt and others, the employees soon knew that this was Fatty's craft.

Ma Hua was very jealous, thinking that just two days after the master left, the fat man started to show off.

Is there anything! Isn't it just a bowl of broken herbal tea? Wait, I will go find the master to complain when I get back today.

At this point in time, I am learning from Dazhai, and everything is based on food, but there are a few exceptions.

For example, the commune where Fatty and the others came today has a dedicated fishery brigade for fish farming.

Their commune is next to a big river, and the tributaries of each brigade are like weaving. The fishery brigade stocks silver carp in the tributaries, and when the end of the year is over, they catch them and distribute them to members of each production team to celebrate the New Year, which is also called "new year fish."

The biggest advantage of silver carp is that it only eats aquatic plants and plankton, so it does not require additional bait to raise it.

At most, you can pour some pig manure into the river and it will be considered as feed.

In this era, the supply of non-staple food was still relatively tight, and it was rare to see meat and fish on people’s tables.

Usually everyone is very indifferent and greedy, so there are often bold people who come to steal fish.
