All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 236 236. Hospitality
Surrounded by a group of people, Yue Wenxuan didn't bother to talk to the third sister, exchanged a few words with Tang Bingquan, and they walked into the factory office together.

Several field leaders, including Tang Bingquan, had a good impression of Yue Wenxuan. When they heard that he was coming, they all ran over to talk to him.

Several leaders sat for a while, knowing that he had just arrived at the field department and must have something to say to his sister, so they didn't bother, and soon found a reason to leave.

Tang Bingquan accompanied Yue Wenxuan to the Changbu Guest House. After arranging a room for him, he didn't stay any longer. Soon there were only two siblings left in the room.

Yue Wenxuan put his luggage away, washed his face, and then sat down to talk with Third Sister.

"Sister San, it will be the wedding day in two days. Have you prepared all the wedding supplies?"

"Basically, I have bought everything. In fact, I don't need to prepare much. Ding Jimin has lived in the barracks for more than three years. He has all the necessary things such as thermos pots and washbasins, so he doesn't need to buy any more.

It just so happens that my quilt is also new, so I don’t need to prepare new quilts. Other miscellaneous things are small pieces, and it doesn’t cost much to add them all up. You can buy them all at the supply and marketing cooperative in our field department. No need to go to the big shopping malls in the city. "

Yue Xiangzhu's tone was very brisk, obviously she thought so in her heart.

Yue Wenxuan has money and votes, and is fully capable of preparing more dowry for the third sister, but he dare not take out the things in his hand, without a suitable reason, and taking out too many things will only make his family to scare.

He can only subsidize as much as his family can accept.

He first took out all the dowry prepared by his parents, put a thick wad of RMB into the hands of the third sister, and said:

"The dowry gift from Lao Ding's house is 120 yuan. Our parents prepared 400 yuan for your dowry, and I personally added another 620 yuan for you. The total is [-] yuan."

Immediately afterwards, he took out another big bag, "Eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister also prepared wedding supplies for you, and put them all in here."

Yue Wenxuan took out the contents one by one, explaining clearly who bought them.

The third sister never thought that the family would prepare so much dowry for her, and she was very surprised, "I will accept all the kindness that the eldest sister and the others prepared for me, and I will also accept the 100 yuan you gave me." I'm not polite to you.

However, isn't the 400 yuan my parents gave me as a dowry too much?

Is our family's life so good now?Thinking about the situation a year ago, I feel like a dream. "

"You can accept it with confidence, the family will not be embarrassed at all to take out the money, and you don't think about how stingy our mother is, if there is no such condition, she will not be willing in the first place.

Do you have anything else to buy?There are still two days left, and there is still time to buy it tomorrow. If you don't have enough bills, don't make it difficult. Just tell me, and I will find a way for you.

Such as bicycles and radios, do you want to buy them?I can get you tickets if you want to buy them. "

"I don't buy a bicycle, basically I don't use it, and if I buy it, it will be idle.

The farm is still a bit far from the barracks, and it’s okay to run once in a while. If I run every day, even if I ride a bicycle, I don’t have the physical strength.

Ding Jimin has already discussed with me, after getting married, he wants me to join the army.

Although I hate the job on the farm, after all, it is very leisurely, but it is not a solution to always live apart, there must be one person who makes sacrifices for the family.

Considering that Ding Jimin's salary is quite high, enough to support the two of us, the one who made the sacrifice can only be me.

Ding Jimin told me that if I still want to have a job, he will find a way for me after I join the army.

Although there are not many job opportunities for family members in the military region, I graduated from high school after all, and after a long time, I can always find a suitable job. "

Yue Wenxuan could tell that the third sister was very nostalgic for her current job, and she agreed to join the army because of reality.

If Yue Wenxuan was allowed to make the decision, he would also prefer to let the third sister join the army.

Although the third sister's current job in the Corps is quite leisurely, the salary is not high, only more than 20 yuan per month.

The educated youths of the Corps are relatively constrained, and it is very difficult to leave.

For the third sister, joining the army is a good opportunity to leave the Corps.

As long as you leave the small circle of the Farm Corps, the outside world is bigger, with more opportunities and possibilities.

With Sanjie's ability and education, no matter where she is, as long as she competes fairly, it is not difficult to find a suitable job.

"If you can join the army, I also recommend that you join the army. If you can find a job after joining the army, that would be even better.

Even if you can't find it for a while, don't worry, you can wait for the opportunity slowly. "

Originally, when Ding Jimin proposed the idea of ​​letting her join the army, Yue Xiangzhu was a little shaken, but now even his younger brother suggested so, and Yue Xiangzhu made up his mind.

"Okay, since you both think so, then I won't insist, just follow the army.

In fact, being able to join the army is already very good. Those few friends in my former dormitory, don't mention how envious I am.

When we first came to the Corps, everyone was very ambitious and wanted to make a career on the farm, to live up to this era and to live up to our youth.

But the heavy physical labor quickly wore down this ambition.I have to work from morning to night every day, and it seems that there will never be an end, so that people can't see a glimmer of hope.

When they first came to the farm, they wanted to start a career, but now they are looking forward to leaving the farm early, even if they pay some price for it.

In order to be able to get rid of heavy physical labor, many people racked their brains to find a way.

I can marry Ding Jimin, and I can easily leave here in the way of the army. I don't know how many people are envious, even jealous.

Whenever I see everyone's unabashedly envious eyes, I am content. "

Since the third sister's job was adjusted to be an officer of the publicity department, she also moved to the dormitory of the factory department because of the long distance.

Although the dormitory is not big, she is the only one living in it, and the living conditions are much better than before. The only thing that makes her not used to it is that she has no friends around her. She doesn't even have a single person to confide in.

Finally seeing his relatives again, Yue Xiangzhu confides a lot of things in his heart to Yue Wenxuan.

The two were talking, and before they knew it, it was time to get off work.

Until Tang Bingquan knocked on the door, the two ended their conversation.

Yue Wenxuan opened the door to let Tang Bingquan in, but Tang Bingquan didn't sit down, and said directly:
"Wenxuan, do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, let's go to the cafeteria now. Director Liu and the others are already waiting for you in the cafeteria."

Then he said to Yue Xiangzhu: "Xiangzhu also go together, they are all leaders of the field department, there are no outsiders, one more person will be more lively."

Of course Yue Xiangzhu would not follow, this is a special banquet for my younger brother by the head of the field department, although she is the elder sister of a great singer, it is not easy to follow along to join in the fun, she politely refused:
"I've already made an appointment with my colleagues. I still have something to do after dinner, so I won't go with you."

Yue Wenxuan followed Tang Bingquan into the private room of the cafeteria. The private room was already full of people, and the director Liu and other factory leaders were already seated.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Director Liu ordered the cafeteria to serve food, and a large bowl of braised bear's paws was served first.

There is an old saying: You can't have both fish and bear's paw, and those who give up the fish and take the bear's paw will also.

Bear's paw is definitely a rare dish for the diners of Datianchao.Even if it has not been banned yet, but because bear paws are rare, if you want to taste them, you must have a suitable opportunity.

Bear's paw was a tribute dish for emperors and nobles in ancient times, and it was difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to eat it.

Bear's paw is also a rare tonic, which has the effects of eliminating wind, strengthening the spleen and stomach, resisting wind and cold, and replenishing qi. It is one of the eight treasures in ancient my country.

It is sweet, salty and warm in nature and has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, invigorating the spleen and stomach, and renewing the muscles and bones.

The collagen in bear paws is very high. Bear paws contain a lot of fat and protein, and are also rich in a variety of amino acids, which have the effect of whitening and beautifying the skin.

This braised bear's paw is today's main dish. After serving it on the table, Director Liu introduced it to Yue Wenxuan:

"Master Gao in our cafeteria is very good at cooking Northeast dishes, especially this dish of braised bear's paw is a must.

The last time you came, I wanted you to try this dish, but it's a pity that I didn't find any ingredients.

This time I said hello in advance and owed a favor to my old comrade-in-arms, so I got two bear paws.

This is already the second time you have come to our farm. If you still can't eat the bear's paw, I am embarrassed to call you when I have the opportunity to go to Shanghai. "

For such kindness, of course Yue Wenxuan would like to thank:
"Captain Liu has a heart, and he is very kind, even I myself didn't expect to be able to eat bear's paw, this time is really a surprise.

This is the first time I eat bear paws, I must taste one of these eight treasures, and when I return to Shanghai, I can brag about it with my friends.

To be honest, this bullshit is enough for me to brag for a year! "

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's words, all the leaders present laughed out loud.

Field Manager Liu worked so hard to get these two bear's paws. If he didn't get a compliment from Yue Wenxuan, then Yue Wenxuan would be too bad at being a man.

A large pot of bear paws was placed on the table, and the aroma soon filled the room.

"It's so fragrant, why do I feel that this fragrance is more attractive than the Buddha Jumping Wall I ate.

I don't know how Master Gao makes it. I think there must be a secret, otherwise, if we ordinary people make it, we will definitely not be able to make such a delicious taste. "

What Yue Wenxuan said was not purely for praise, it was indeed the truth.

Although today was the first time he ate bear paws in this life, he did not eat less in his last life.

The bear paws he ate in his previous life were basically made by chefs from top restaurants. Although they tasted good, they really didn't have such a strong fragrance.

When Yue Wenxuan said this, Director Liu felt that he had a lot of face. He raised his glass and said:

"Let's drink this glass of wine first, and after tasting the taste of the braised bear's paw, I will tell you in detail how this dish is made."

Immediately afterwards, Director Liu said a word to mention wine, and everyone drank the wine in their glasses together, moved their chopsticks one after another, and tasted the braised bear's paw.

Yue Wenxuan took a piece of bear's paw and put it in his mouth, and a strong fragrance immediately filled his mouth.

The heat of the bear's paw is just right, and it is slightly springy when chewed. This master Gao is very precise in grasping the heat.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's worthy of being one of the eight treasures. Master Gao's cooking skills are really amazing!" Yue Wenxuan repeatedly praised.

"You really hit the point when you said that, bear's paws are good, but it depends on who makes them.

If the craftsmanship is poor, the braised bear's paw will definitely not be as fragrant, and it will not be much better than the braised pork knuckle.

When Master Gao didn't come, the braised bear's paw I ate tasted exactly like this. It was absolutely not exaggerated. It was really not good.

It wasn't until Master Gao was in charge of the cafeteria that I realized that braised bear's paws can be so delicious after being cooked. Compared with the braised bear's paws I tasted before, they are simply two dishes, which are completely different. "

Speaking of those previous experiences, Director Liu's tone was full of emotion.

"Then does Master Gao have any secrets for making this dish?" Yue Wenxuan asked casually.

"There must be. The real secret should be the ratio of spices. This is a secret, and I can't ask about it.

I just eat too much, and I roughly know how to make this dish.

If you want to make this dish well, you need to prepare a lot of other auxiliary ingredients, which are also very complicated.

In addition to bear paws, you also need to prepare: old hen, stuffed duck, scallops, diced pine mushrooms, sugar, salt, cooking wine, green onions, soy sauce, ginger, water starch, sesame oil and other ingredients and seasonings.

The method of this dish is: put the bear's paw into the pot, put the water to boil, turn to low heat and cook for 2 hours, then shave off the hair, nails, foot pads, etc., then put it in warm water and continue to boil, then turn to low heat Cook for another 3 hours.

After cooking, wash it with cold water several times, and then copy it with boiling water.

Put the bear's paws in the basin, and then put the chicken and duck meat in the basin for later use.Then add shallots, sliced ​​ginger, ham, scallops, and diced mushrooms soaked in water.

Add an appropriate amount of soup, first turn to high heat and boil, then change to low heat and simmer slowly, add salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar and other seasonings.

After the stew is finished, take out the bear's paw, stir the sauce made from juice and water starch, add some sesame oil, pour it on the bear's paw, and the dish is ready. "

Yue Wenxuan couldn't help asking after listening to Liu Changchang's detailed words:
"Listening to what you said in such detail, you didn't do it yourself, did you?"

"I didn't expect to be heard by you. I did cook it once, and the experience was miserable. Since then, I have never cooked this dish again.

It was three years ago at the place of an old comrade in arms in Kyoto. He got a bear paw by chance, but he couldn’t cook it himself, so I volunteered to make this dish.

The result was not as good as braised pig's trotters. My comrade-in-arms was very disappointed, and I was also quite embarrassed. "

It was rare to hear the director talk about his own embarrassment, and everyone else at the table started joking.

After this dish, several other hard dishes were served on the table one after another.

Everyone in the room knew that Yue Wenxuan was a big drinker. This time, no one took the initiative to drink with him, and the meal was very pleasant.

All the dishes were served, and the wine was almost drunk, so Director Liu began to talk about the business.
