Chapter 71. Stewed Old Hen
The old couple were open-minded people. Apart from being a little nervous when they suddenly heard the amount of more than 200,000 yuan, they figured it out after thinking about it.
Afterwards, Luo Yihang raised his glass and clinked glasses with Qiang Wa alone.
He gave Zhang Guiqin another wink.
Zhang Guiqin understood immediately and became even more enthusiastic towards Qiang Wa. She kept filling up Qiang Wa's bowl with food and leaned over to whisper, "My dear nephew, I'll give you a big red envelope later."
This was something Luo Yihang had discussed with his mother before dinner. The people who did the work were introduced by Qiangwa, who borrowed a lot of favors and helped out a lot in the past two days.
Luo Yihang and Qiang Wa are brothers. Qiang Wa will definitely not accept money if he is offered it, but it is not appropriate not to compensate him for delaying other people's business.
So we have to let the elder Zhang Guiqin come.
But Qiangwa is not stupid, so he naturally understands what Luo Yihang's family means.
After eating the food and confiscating the red envelope, Zhang Guiqin did not feel embarrassed and offered, "Aunt, I want to eat the old hen you stewed. Put mushrooms and jujubes in it. Use a wood-fired pot to stew the whole old hen until it is soft. The big chicken leg will have all the meat falling off when you lift it. It smells so good that I drool even in my dreams. Aunt, please stew one for me."
"Okay." Zhang Guiqin raised her voice to a high note, her forehead wrinkles opened up beautifully, "Your Aunt Li's family has old hens. I'll catch them for you right now. Catch two big ones and stew them tonight."
"Then I'll stay at your house. I won't leave today. I'll watch the pot for you all night."
"My dear son, how can you stew it for so long? It won't be fully melted after one night. I'll go get the chicken and stew it. You can take it away tomorrow and don't give it to others."
"Okay, Auntie, you are the best to me."
Zhang Guiqin was so beautiful that she didn't even bother to eat. She just got up and hurried out to find Aunt Li to catch chickens.
What do you call this, Qiangwa? This is called emotional intelligence.
Afterwards, Qiang Wa picked up the wine glass at the dinner table and thanked Luo Yihang instead, "Hang Wa, we have to have a drink together. Thank you for helping me make a lot of money."
"What do you mean? I should be the one to thank you." Luo Yihang raised his glass and clinked glasses with Qiang Wa.
Qiang Wa drank the wine and waved his hands, "You don't understand our ways. I introduced you, got the project, bought the seedlings, and made them a lot of money. After a while, they will come to me to buy large quantities of materials, seeds, fertilizers, etc., which are all big income for me. This is an unspoken rule, otherwise I won't think of them when there are good things in the future."
This is really a tough boy. Luo Yihang understands what tough boy means, and also knows that there is no need to keep saying thank you.
So he picked up the bottle and filled it up for Qiang Wa, and then raised another glass for himself. "Okay, let's have another one. I wish both of us great wealth."
Qiangwa raised his glass, and the two of them clinked their glasses together, "Let's make a fortune together."
done.
……
After dinner.
Luo Yihang went to clean up the mess.
Luo Cheng showed off his fishing achievements over the past few days to Qiangwa.
Zhang Guiqin walked in from the gate with big strides, holding a chicken in her left hand and another chicken in her right hand.
Qiangwa was outside, and he rushed over to take the two chickens, praising them one after another, "Aunt, these two chickens are really fat, they must be six or seven pounds, wow, they are all killed."
"Of course they are. One weighs 6.2 jin and the other weighs 6.4 jin. These two are the fattest from Aunt Li's family. I killed them and bled them there. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to bring them back. They are very strong." Zhang Guiqin also praised herself and then shouted into the house, "Old man, boil some water and remove the chicken feathers."
"I'm coming." Luo Cheng said, put away his phone, turned around and went into the kitchen, and told Luo Yihang, "Your mother has come back with the chicken, boil the water."
This is called one level suppressing another, which fully reflects the direction of the food chain in this family.
The big firewood pot that had not been used for a long time was taken out, the furnace was cleaned, and a few wooden sticks were taken from under the firewood pile and stuffed into the furnace to light them.
We usually use a gas stove. The last time I used this big wood-fired pot was to steam buns during the Chinese New Year.
Boil water, pluck the feathers, and gut the two old hens.
Soak the mushrooms, chop the onions and ginger, and smash the garlic.
Soak another pot of tea tree mushrooms.
Later, we will use the water used to soak the tea tree mushrooms to stew the chicken. This is Zhang Guiqin's exclusive secret, which most people don't tell him.
Luo Yihang's family of three plus Qiang Wa worked for an hour, and the two old hens were already stewing on the wood stove.
Ding Xiaoman ran back as if he had smelled the fragrance, and meowed around the stove.
Then, while its attention was focused on the pot, Luo Yihang grabbed it, took it out of the kitchen, and locked the door.
With Ding Xiaoman's current abilities, he could really jump onto the stove and pull open the pot lid.
Don't let it stay in the kitchen.
He took the camera off Ding Xiaoman's neck, took it back to the house to charge it, and connected it to the computer to export the video.
See if it runs into a fight with some wild cats today.
Not really.
Ding Xiaoman was well behaved this morning and went to the stage to watch others fishing.
The fisherman who came up to the river on a motorcycle should be the new old friend that Luo Cheng mentioned before.
A windbreaker, old man's shoes, a parasol, a large plastic box, and two fishing rods.
The man was dressed neatly and had all the necessary equipment.
Ding Xiaoman lay down behind someone, caught a fish and threw it onto the shore.
It ran over, held the fish with its paws and meowed.
Every time this happened, the fisherman would come over happily, give Ding Xiaoman a small dried fish, and stroke the cat's head a few times in exchange for the fish.
Judging from the situation, this is not the first time or the second time, they have prepared a big bag of dried fish.
After Ding Xiaoman finished eating the dried fish, he licked his paws, then ran back and lay down behind the person, and repeated this process over and over again.
Blue sky, white clouds and gurgling water.
Green grass, white stone beach, an old man in red clothes fishing, a fat cat with white feet, and in the distance a few beautiful great egrets with their wings spread.
What stands out is that the years are peaceful and quiet.
Qiang Wa was watching from the side and was curious, "You are still taking pictures of this and that, what about the back?"
"There is no more at the back. The camera ran out of battery, so I didn't take any pictures."
This sports camera is already very power-saving, but if it wants to be even more power-saving, its size means it can only hold a small battery.
Even with the display off, I can only shoot for an hour or so.
I don’t know where Ding Xiaoman went later.
"Oh, it's quite interesting. Why didn't you post it online?" Qiangwa asked.
Luo Yihang replied, "Yes, you can search 'Ding Xiaoman is a cat' on this little broken website."
Qiangwa opened his phone, found the app for the small broken station, entered the name to search, and the first one was displayed.
Then he read in surprise: "It's true! Your cat is famous!"
"What's going on?" Luo Yihang came over to take a look.
Isn't it?
The video of Ding Xiaoman engaging in a group fight uploaded last night has become a hit, with tens of thousands of views, hundreds of barrages, and dozens of comments. The number of fans of this account has exceeded 100.
For a new account, especially one that has only uploaded 3 videos, isn’t this considered a hit?
It's a new week, can you please give me some recommendation votes?
