The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

Zhou Chuan was driving slowly on the road in the village while driving Brother Bao's pickup truck.

The village is really full of people now, and people can be seen on almost every small road every time. Apart from the guests at the homestay, these people are more of the villagers themselves.

After more than two months of renovations, all houses in the village who intend to engage in the farmhouse industry have been remodeled.

After all the formalities are completed and the rooms are rested, the villagers just wait for an auspicious day to start the business collectively.

That auspicious day is the founding day of October [-], and the villagers feel that there is nothing more auspicious than this day.

The days are not only memorable and auspicious, but more importantly, this is a one-week long vacation. People have time and are willing to go out and play, which is suitable for the farmhouse.

Since this time was set, the village has become lively, not only looking for advertising companies to promote in the city, but also raising funds to publish advertisements in newspapers and radio stations. Started the little thought of decorating your own home.

The conditions of the people in the village are similar, and the accommodation level of the remodeled farmhouses is relatively uniform. In order to avoid vicious competition, the villagers agreed that except for the homestay in Baojia, the rest of the farmhouses have the same price.

Since the prices are the same, in order to attract customers, it is natural to make the yard and room more tidy, more beautiful and more distinctive, so these days the aunts and sister-in-laws in the village go to the city more diligently, and when everyone comes back Will report a lot of things for decoration.

The hostess is busy, and the hostesses are not resting. With the same house price, the same price of flowers, and the same fee for going out, if you want to earn more than others, you will naturally have to work hard on the dishes.

There are always times when the room gets tired, and when climbing the mountain is always tiring, but the delicious and satisfying meals can make people nostalgic and miss, so in the final analysis, whether the farmhouse run by your own family can retain guests or not depends on Rely on the skills of the family.

The men who come back from the outside world have at least ten years of kitchen work experience, but simple cooking and cooking are not difficult for them at all. What they need are special dishes, which can distinguish their own homes from others, and belong exclusively to them. their dishes.

Chef Bao has been coming home very late recently, in order to develop and strengthen their special dishes for each household, so that each farmhouse can have its own characteristics.

The process was really hard, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations. Not only were the special dishes of each household successfully developed, but even Chef Bao felt that he had benefited a lot.

These grandfather's 'old' apprentices have been working abroad for more than ten years. In addition to the basics learned from Mr. Bao, they have learned more from the experience and practice of different cuisines in different regions and different cuisines for more than ten years.

Some of these people have been to the Sichuan and Sichuan regions and are good at Sichuan cuisine; People who have traveled to the Western Regions and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions, so they are good at Northwest cuisine and Cantonese and Hakka cuisine.

Dozens of chefs with profound skills got together to brainstorm and communicate with each other. Not only did the development of special dishes go smoothly, but they also gained a deeper understanding of culinary arts.

In the past, these chefs always had to cover up what they were good at, not because they were stingy, but because it was something that the whole family ate. Although the saying of teaching apprentices to starve to death of the master is ugly, it still makes sense to taste it carefully.

But now they don't have to worry, because this is the village where they were born and raised, and the people here are not only their relatives, but also brothers from the same school.

Everyone grew up together, who doesn't know who else, and dares to have bad intentions for their own family members, then they must not be the ones who are unlucky.

Chef Bao is the youngest among this group of people, and he is also the only one whose disciples and grandchildren are eligible to participate, so the 'uncles' do their best for him, as long as they know what they know, they will definitely teach them everything, and they can't wait to Teach him all the skills in his body.

Some things cannot be summed up by books, theories, and self-study, especially technical matters. Sometimes a word from a knowledgeable person is more useful than a year of learning alone.

Chef Bao, wandering in culinary knowledge and techniques, greedily absorbs everything around him, desperately using all these for his own use, and growing himself bit by bit.

He made remarkable progress every day, which pleased those men who were his blood relatives and fellow teachers.

Everyone believes that as long as Bao Yan survives this stage of tempering, he will surely soar into the sky when he sets sail again, and use his talents to bring endless enjoyment to people who love food.

For this reason, all the chores at the B&B are now returned to the supervisor of Zhou Quan, who just drove a pickup truck to the seafood wholesale market in the city to restock.

The pickup truck drove back to the B&B, Dabao, the waiter, came out to help unload the goods, and moved the newly bought seafood to the kitchen with Zhouquan.

The kitchen has now become a distribution center for Baomen chefs. The master chefs come together to exchange their own experiences and learn from others' strengths to supplement their own deficiencies.

The guests who came to the B&B during this period were considered lucky. Foods from all over the world, classic dishes from home and abroad all appeared on the pink temporary menu.

In a small village, every household has at least one person who has learned cooking skills, and there are no less than two digits of people who have worked as chefs in star-rated hotels. Such a team of chefs entertains international guests. qualified.

The kitchen of the homestay has never been so easy. There are seven or eight masters in charge every day, and when the menu comes out, everyone has to rush to make it.

These guys came to study the dishes and help the homestay by the way, and they usually wouldn't leave until ten o'clock.

But today is special, on the [-]th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, after the dinner is finished, the B&B will give the employees a holiday, and let them go home for a reunion. Zhou Quan and Chef Bao stay at the B&B to continue taking care of the business.

After dinner, the guests who were originally staying in the room came out of the room one after another, sitting or standing or chatting with their families, but no matter what their posture was, most of them had the same posture, that is, raised their heads to the sky , watch the moon in the sky.

In order to welcome the festive season, the B&B not only added a variety of crab-based dishes to today's menu, but also specially presented handmade snowskin mooncakes to guests who did not have a room.

Zhou Quan, who stayed at the B&B at night, was idle and bored, and it happened that Mr. Wang in the East Wing next door hadn't left this Mid-Autumn Festival, so they got together to celebrate the festival.

Chef Bao asked Chef Bao to carry the table to the yard. Mooncakes of grapes, autumn pears and jujubes were placed on the table, but the most attractive thing was the two plates of river crabs placed in the middle of the table.

One of the plates is real estate crabs, which are small in size and dark in color. Even if you buy the big ones, the same goes for the female's three taels and the male's four taels.

On the other side are the authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs contributed by Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang's son knew that the other party liked to eat this bite, so the first net caught was hurriedly airlifted over.

Chef Bao didn't do any complicated carvings on these things, just washed them clean and placed them on the steamer with sliced ​​ginger and scallions. After ten minutes, the crabs were steamed and out of the pot.

In addition to the hairy crabs, Mr. Wang also contributed the Huadiao wine he brought over. Chef Bao mixed ginger vinegar dipped in crab meat, and the three of them gathered around the table to eat.

Mr. Wang, who was born in the Shanghai stock market, is obviously an expert in eating crabs. When people eat crabs, they bring eight pieces of crabs with them.

Mr. Wang first held a crab in his hand, and with the other hand he took out the round hammer from the eight pieces of the crab, and lightly tapped the edge of the back of the crab shell with the hammer.

After such beatings, the crab shells of the hairy crabs have been loosened. Put down the hammer, take out the long-handled axe, and lift off the back cover and navel of the crab.

At this time, the meat on the back of the crab is basically exposed. Take out the stick, scrape off the crab lungs, and gently remove the meat from the crab belly.

After that, cut off the crab's feet with a stick, hook out the meat in the rest of the legs with a stick, scoop out the crab roe in the crab belly with a long spoon, and then use tweezers to pinch the crab heart, crab stomach and other inedible places come out.

During the whole process, the other party was silent, and his posture was light and graceful. After all the meat of a crab was picked out by him, the remaining crab shells were able to form a complete crab.

Zhou Quan was sweating coldly watching from the sidelines, thinking that it looked amazing, but what about eating a crab?

Mr. Wang, who was wiping his hands with a wet towel, raised his eyebrows and looked very proud. His kung fu of breaking crabs with his hands has not been practiced for a few years, and he always gets compliments every time he makes an appearance.

However, this time the old man cast a wink at the blind man. The two rough men from the Northeast on the opposite side don't understand elegance at all. One of them is biting the crab leg and sucking the juice inside, and then the meat is not good. Eat the shell and spit it out together, and the other bites the crab stick in one bite, and uses the other pliers to dig out the meat inside.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang's eyes turned black, and he said sadly: "My crab, I vomited up without even eating the meat, it's a violent exasperation."

Having been 'rebuked', Zhou Quan spit out again with a bah, and still came out with the belt and meat.

Old Man Wang:......

Chef Bao, who was sitting on the far side, didn't say anything, but silently bit the crab claws, and then took out the meat for Zhou Quan to eat.

Their family, Zhou Zhou, doesn't like crabs very much. The only thing he can eat a few bites is the meat inside the crab claws.

Therefore, when old man Wang was handling the crabs elegantly just now, Chef Bao had already removed most of the crab claws from the river crabs, leaving only a male and a female pair for the other party.

Looking at the real sadness in the eyes of the other party looking over, Chef Bao said very calmly while continuing to dig the meat: "The crab roe and crab paste are left to you, those are the most essential parts of the crab."

Old man Wang with high cholesterol:......

The author has something to say:

Old Man Wang: You obviously eat delicious crabs, but why do you always stuff dog food into your mouth?
