Chapter 107 Life and Life

As cage after cage of rice field eels were lifted out of the mud, everyone became less interested in watching the fun, and more envious of Pan Zhuang cattle. With so many rice field eels, the price is almost twice that of lobsters. How much can they sell? money!Someone guessed that Pan Zhuangniu could earn [-] this time!

Wei Jingze got the rice field eels and loaches he wanted, and took a bucket home first, and handed them over to Master Yingqi. When Master Yingqi saw the rice field eels, he immediately squatted down to study what the rice field eels were like.

Wei Jingze greeted a few words, took the rest and went to the construction site.

At this time, the construction site is still busy.

"Xiao Wei, we heard that the east side is very lively, what are you doing?"

Wei Jingze put down the bucket and said, "The eel breeders are harvesting eels. Everyone is watching over there! No, I bought some to improve your food."

The busy workers couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the ones who came closer ran over to have a look, and praised, "What a fat eel, it's as big as a snake!"

Wei Jingze said: "Because they are well raised, people raise their own earthworms to feed them."

"That's right, I heard that the rice in your village is not treated with pesticides, so it must have been carefully raised."

Wei Jingze nodded and said, "That's true. They are all made with no medicine or fertilizer. Although it's hard work, the price is higher. Everyone is willing to do it."

"Hey, then the half barrel weighs more than ten catties, right? The price must not be low."

Wei Jingze said: "It's okay, everyone is from the village, and they gave you a discount. And I only bleed this time, and I don't buy it for you every day."

Several people laughed.

"When the night's work is over, I'll make fried eel with garlic for you to try! Xiao Wei, come over for a drink too!"

"I didn't realize that you can cook!"

"I said that I was a chef before, and I'm not bragging!"

Wei Jingze felt a little itchy when he heard that, and said, "Okay, then I'll come back at night, if I want garlic, I can pick it from the field in front of me, as long as I don't step on the vegetables."

I don't know what kind of unique flavor these workers' craftsmanship have?

In the evening, Master Yingqi made a stir-fried loach, a sliced ​​eel with green pepper, and a soup with eel and loach. It can be seen that the master is in a good mood and cooked two more dishes than usual.

After the last dish was served, Master Yingqi knocked on the pot and said, "Let's start dinner later, that boy Chen Han should be here soon."

Wei Jingze himself didn't call Chen Han. Looking at Jiang Yanzong, Jiang Yanzong also shook his head. Well, it must be the call from Master Yingqi himself. Even when he was in trouble, he would not forget this apprentice.The deep love between master and apprentice is not false.

Wei Jingze didn't inform Chen Han, because he thought that the loach and eel would be sent to the restaurant tomorrow, and the eel and loach weighing hundreds of catties, wouldn't Chen Han do whatever he wanted?So I didn't intend to let Chen Han run over.

So everyone took a break and waited for Chen Han. Within a few minutes, they heard the sound of a car chug on the main road. It was Chen Han himself driving a pickup truck.

When Chen Han arrived, he was sweating profusely, and he must have been in a hurry. There will be people eating in the restaurant at night, although not as many as at noon.

"Oh, it's late, it's late, I kept you waiting for a long time."

Master Yingqi smoked calmly and said, "Take a break, take a breath, and then eat."

Chen Han sat down on the chair and said, "Master, I already smell it. Didn't you do the Double Dragon Club?"

Wei Jingze couldn't help pricking up his ears, what kind of dish would Shuanglong be called?It sounds very fresh!

Master Yingqi said: "To make that dish, my brewing is brewing."

"Hey! Why don't you teach me! I've been talking about that dish for a long time!"

Wei Jingze and Jiang Yanzong were also looking forward to it. This Double Dragon Club should be the original dish of Chef Yingqi, right?Otherwise, even Chen Han wouldn't know how to do it?Impossible!

Master Yingqi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll brew it up tomorrow and try it out tonight. Come here early."

Wei Jingze thought that Master Yingqi would find a reason to refuse, but he didn't expect to agree so readily. It seems that tomorrow will be a good day!However, it is also delicious now, but it will be more delicious tomorrow.

After resting for a while, Chen Han gasped for breath, washed his face, and everyone went to the table to eat.

After everyone picked up the chopsticks, they couldn't stop. Chef Yingqi's craftsmanship fully brought out the tenderness, smoothness, springiness and freshness of the rice field eel and loach to the extreme. Every bite is enjoyable!Stir-fried loach has a slightly burnt outer skin, but is very tender inside. The loach does not need to spit out the bones. It is crispy first and then tender, tender and crispy, salty and spicy, not to mention delicious!

Finally, a table of dishes, except for some eel heads and loach heads on the table, all the plates are bare!

Delicious food is always addictive, very satisfying!This day, I really don't want to be too comfortable!

After eating, Wei Jingze took Jiang Yanzong for a walk around, to eliminate food and stop accumulating food. Even if Jiang Yanzong no longer has headaches, he still needs to exercise regularly to stay healthy and not get sick.

After eating, Chen Han rested for a while, and then rode his bicycle back. He didn't sleep here.

In the evening, Wei Jingze greeted Jiang Yanzong and went to the construction site to drink with the workers.

At this time, lights were on on the construction site, some were biogas lamps, some were electric lights, and everyone had just finished their work, so they cleaned up and ate.

Everyone welcomes Wei Jingze's arrival.

More than ten catties of rice field eel and loach were fried together with garlic segments. The red and green ones were greasy under the yellow light. Several large bowls looked very satisfying.

Dozens of workers sat down, and everyone began to drink and eat. Wei Jingze ate, so he had a drink with him and ordered food.

The workers work hard during the day, so they eat a lot, and they like to eat large pieces of fish and meat. Wei Jingze discovered that Master Yingqi carefully selected ingredients for cooking, and the people on the construction site I don’t care so much, the meat is cut as thick as the little finger, and the potatoes don’t bother to peel them, just wash them, mud them, cut them into pieces with a hob, and stew them. Everything is big, and everything is rough, but this roughness , has a special flavor, just like rough brewed spirits, it tastes rough, but it has a lot of stamina. Workers who have been busy all day will feel very refreshed after eating it.

At the dinner table, everyone also opened up chatterboxes, talking very lively. One said that his wife called and said that his wife had a cold and finally healed. The other said that his wife was making money outside and it was not time to call. , In short, it is the parents who are short.

The workers’ family backgrounds are relatively similar, most of them are from rural areas and have little education, so they have to do manual labor when they come out. While working on the construction site, they learn some crafts such as building walls and mixing cement, and work together with the engineering team. money.

"Our place is not bad. I heard from our fellow villagers that they are building some kind of building. There is no rest 24 hours a day, and they work in shifts."

"Indeed, it's time to rush to work, the house is expensive, why don't you take advantage of this time to make money quickly?"

"I have a fellow from the same village who came out together. I asked him to come with me, but he refused and went to another engineering team. I heard that the office head has already taken away the money, and they are all waiting to collect debts! "

"It's a good thing we're not like that."

"We are a regular company, of course we will pay the money on time."

"Hey, Dayong, you said your daughter is going to college, did she go to college?"

"I went, and said that when I go back, I will show me the photos I took in school."

"That's good. If you are admitted to university, you must go to study. You can't be like us, you can only work hard."

"That is……"

Most of them are people with families and children who work outside because they earn little from farming at home. The children need money to go to school, so they can only work hard. Some of them have relatives who are seriously ill and need medicine to support them. They are full of heavy lives, but they are still here talking and laughing loudly, talking about tomorrow, talking about children, talking about hope, as if if they work hard, everything will be fine.

Of course, they speak very rough, and they may not leave their mouths with dirty words, and they are not glamorous, because they are all polished by life.

They built so many beautiful houses, none of them belonged to them, just like the ancient poem "He who is covered with silk is not a silkworm farmer."

While Wei Jingze sighed for them in his heart, he also knew that this was a very helpless thing, and there was only so much he could do.

Drink, sleep, and get up tomorrow to continue working.

The next day, after Wei Jingze got up, he finished his morning tasks and went to watch the first shipment of loach and rice field eels. The restaurant was fine, it was close, and the pickup truck only took about half an hour now. The imperial capital is relatively far away, so we must take good measures to avoid too much loss or run away.

Seeing the truck go away, Wei Jingze felt relieved.

Pan Zhuangniu was also very happy when he lost several hundred catties a day, so he dragged Wei Jingze to drink with him.

Wei Jingze hastily declined, saying: "I can't do it recently, I've been very busy recently, there are many things in the field, and I can't get away from the chicken coop. I'll have a drink with you when I have some free time."

Pan Zhuangniu felt a little regretful, and said, "Well, we can only do this first."

Wei Jingze said: "You have to start thinking about the next batch, and you have to plan early for the winter."

The breeding season of loach and swamp eel is from April to September, and the most time is May and June. Most of them breed during this period. This is the first time to raise them this year. Pan Zhuang cattle do not plan to breed by themselves, so it is still I have to buy seedlings by myself, but in the coming year, I have to prepare for breeding by myself. Although it may be difficult, I have to explore everything.

Pan Zhuangniu said: "That's right, I know this matter well. Isn't loach and eel not easy to survive the winter? I plan to change a greenhouse on the pond, and use some methods to keep warm inside to ensure that they survive the winter safely."

Wei Jingze said: "You can do what you want, if you need help, just say hello."
