Niu male

Two days later, the batch of pear saplings that Lao Zhou had talked about before arrived, and Xiao Shulin refused to let him go up the mountain, and took care of the matter himself.

However, Lao Zhou couldn’t make him tired. The night before, he called someone to go to Xiaotupo, picked two of the biggest and fattest pigs, took two photos and posted them on the Tongcheng Forum, and the day laborers flocked to him. up.

Just in time for the students to go on winter vacation, a lot of junior high school and high school students came, so Zheng Bolun had another addiction to instructor Zheng.

Speaking of which, ever since Lao Zhou put Niuwangzhuang canteen dishes on Luo Xingyou's online store, the number of people working here has decreased immediately.

It is winter now, and there is little farm work in Niuwangzhuang, so there is no problem, but wait until the spring of next year... Lao Zhou thought about it, it is really not possible, so he simply stopped the cafeteria.

"Old Zhou, is your foot okay?" This afternoon, Wang Dasheng went to Niuwangzhuang to visit Lao Zhou.

"It's alright." The sprain on Lao Zhou's foot has already healed completely, but Xiao Shulin told him not to move around recently, so these days he has been obediently squatting on Niuwangzhuang.

"Old Hu and the others said they will come to see you later." Wang Dasheng said with a smile.

"It's nothing, so I don't need to come here on purpose. Lao Hu is also very busy recently." Lao Zhou knew that those grandsons were probably afraid of Xiao Shulin. , that deterrent power is really no joke.

"How is Lao Hu's preparations?" Seeing that the Buffalo Festival is coming, he must not lose the chain.

"It's almost there. The only thing missing is the disinfection cabinet. He said he planned to buy a second-hand one." Wang Dasheng was very close to Hu Qunfeng and the others, and he was very clear about his progress.

"Ah, you know how to live a good life." Lao Zhou was quite ashamed to talk about others.

"It's winter, I think you have quite a lot of people working here." Wang Dasheng and Lao Zhou sat on the steps of the promenade basking in the sun, peeling an orange that Lao Zhou handed him.

This year, the Ou tangerines collected from Niuwang Village are not sold very much. They are resistant to storage. They don’t need to be stored in the cold storage. They can be stored for a whole winter. As long as they are kept properly, they will taste better the more they are stored. Canned fruit is called natural for a reason.

The two of them were sitting on the steps outside the promenade peeling oranges. Looking up from them, they could see many people planting trees on the mountain in full swing. It was a scene of labor. "There are not many people these days. It is to kill pigs, that’s why there are so many here.” Old Zhou said truthfully.

"Are you killing pigs today?" Wang Dasheng was delighted.

"Yeah, I'm going to kill pig vegetables tonight, come over when the time comes." Old Zhou said.

"That's a good relationship." Wang Dasheng didn't even bother to refuse.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Lao Zhou told him about the fact that he recently sold Niuwangzhuang canteen dishes online, and then fewer people came to work with him.

"Hey, farm work is hard work after all." Wang Dasheng stuffed a few citrus oranges into his mouth and expressed his opinion: "Besides, the only master chef here is Hou Fatty. I didn't say that no matter how good the craftsmanship is, eat If there are too many, it will not be new.”

"Then what do you say?" Lao Zhou asked him.You can't change the cook, can you?Besides, where can I find someone like Fatty Hou who is good at craftsmanship but not enterprising?

"I heard that a group of foreigners came to the temporary worker's inn recently, all of them are young and strong." Wang Dasheng meant that those foreigners had never eaten the dishes of Niuwangzhuang, and if they suddenly tasted them, they might be shocked. people.

"Old Wang, you have a good idea!" Old Zhou Yi was happy, and passed him a few oranges: "Come and eat more, there are still more in the warehouse."

"Okay." Wang Dasheng took the oranges happily, and said again: "Don't call me Old Wang."

These days, even the word Lao Wang has become too impure.

In the afternoon, Lao Zhou packed a basket of fruit, took some pumpkin pies, and went to the International Youth Hostel of Day Worker Inn to drop by.

Lao Zhou didn't know much about youth hostels in the past. He only heard about it when he was drinking with those people a while ago. Youth hostels and international youth hostels are completely different concepts. The word "international" is very valuable. It's not that whoever wants to hang up can hang up. If it weren't for these two words, it is estimated that there would not be so many foreigners coming this time. After all, it is in line with international standards.

In order to expand the resources of part-time workers, Lao Zhou also spent some money this time. There are all kinds of fruits in his basket. They are all picked good fruits and put them in the cold storage when they were harvested. They usually refuse to take them out.

And those pumpkin cakes, those are not ordinary pumpkin cakes, this thing is made by Hou Fatty secretly, every time when making this cake, that girl will close the door of the cafeteria tightly, except for Liu Ruhua and Liu Feng They are not allowed in either.Then the cakes that were made, other than what she ate, were exchanged with Lao Zhou for fruit and rice cereal. Her daughter can now eat some complementary food.

Fatty Hou and Liu Ruhua have now officially adopted the girl doll, there is no problem in the procedure, the doll's parents have never shown their faces, and I don't know if they really want to give away their daughter, or what will happen in the future The next move.

Don't care about the future, anyway, the family of three is very happy now, let's talk about the future, Liu Ruhua is not afraid at all when the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, but Fatty Hou, he just wants to feed her daughter all day long Yes, he probably didn't have time to think about anything else.

Besides, how delicious is Fatty Hou's secret pumpkin pie? Anyway, Xiao Shulin ate it while watching TV. It would be like playing if he killed five or six in one night. Lao Zhou weighed him, five or six, all It's almost a catty, this stuff is sweet.

But Fatty Hou has the skill to make sweets sweet but not greasy, and you won't get greasy after eating as many.

The skin of this pumpkin pie is a bit tough, and the taste is a bit like the skin of a baked sweet potato. It has a light noodle fragrance and is a bit tough when chewed, but it is very palatable, and it is not difficult to bite.

The stuffing inside is runny, dry on the outside, softer in the middle, and almost liquid in the middle, so delicious when you take a sip.This stuffing is mainly made of pumpkin puree, and other things are added, which most people can't eat, but Lao Zhou can taste a few, but he is not very sure, after all, these things have been mixed, and the taste There will also be chemical reactions...

Lao Zhou already had a few of these pumpkin pies in his basket, thinking that Xiao Shulin and Houwazi would eat them tonight, so he didn't take more, just took a few, cut everything with a knife, and put them in the box Put it on, and it's over when the lid is closed. It's enough for each person to taste a little of the good things, and you don't need to eat too much.

The young bosses of the short-term worker's inn did not miss working in Niuwangzhuang, otherwise they would not be able to earn enough to exchange for a registered place in the buffalo restaurant.

These few people were very familiar with Lao Zhou, and there were only two people in the hall at the moment. When they saw Lao Zhou's posture, they knew that this guy probably came here for cheap labor.But it doesn't break the news. After all, if Lao Zhou can make the reputation of Niuwangzhuang internationally, it will be very helpful to their youth brigade. Hello and I are also good.

"Yo, Lao Zhou is here, what's in this basket?" The guy who spoke was about to reach for the basket that Lao Zhou was carrying.

"I heard that you have a lot of international friends here. I'm here to get in touch with them." Lao Zhou's eyes were quick, and he reached out and took out two oranges from the basket and handed them to him. Well, if these two guys eat it up, what else can they get in return? It's free to eat.

"I went to Boss He's place with the children in our village to drink peanut milk." Although their place is also called a village, but the location is already very close to the town, basically similar to a village in the city.

Those foreigners are also very good at doing as the Romans do, and within two days of coming here, they got acquainted with the middle school students and elementary school students nearby. I went to the morning market for a while, and I didn't eat less.

"It's just the two of you today?" Lao Zhou sat down on the wooden sofa in the living room. But only two people were seen.

"There is one who was on the night shift yesterday and is sleeping now. There are three others who took someone to work in Niuwangzhuang this morning. Didn't you see it?" Opening a youth hostel is not so easy, you have to earn repeat customers To earn word of mouth, you have to let the guests who come here eat, drink, and have fun. There are not many scenic spots in the area of ​​Buffalo Town. It is rare that Lao Zhou said that he wanted to kill pigs today, so they took a group of foodies there.

"There are too many people, so I didn't watch." Lao Zhou laughed.Those who came to work today were dragged by Xiao Shulin and the others to plant trees on the mountain early in the morning. They even ate lunch on the mountain. As for the butchered vegetables, they had to wait until evening.

As for Lao Zhou himself, Xiao Shulin has protected him so well these two days, he slept late today and only got up late, and he hadn't been to the mountains all day, so how could he see them.

"Someone sent a message in the group just now, saying that doing farm work is very hard. I planted a few trees on Niuwangzhuang, and immediately began to miss city life." Said the guy sitting at the front desk, he is a little I am worried that the guys who went to Niuwangzhuang today will give their youth hostel a bad review on the Internet because they are too tired.

"They won't think so when they eat pig-killing dishes tonight." Lao Zhou gave him a heart-warming pill.

While talking, I heard the voices of several adults and children talking outside, some speaking English and some speaking Chinese, chattering miscellaneously, it seems that they really get along very well.

Those children in the village don’t have much pocket money. Every afternoon at this time, they go for peanut milk. They don’t buy anything but peanut milk. They leave after drinking. These foreigners learn from them, one by one That is to say, I bought a cup of peanut milk and came back after drinking it.

As soon as these people entered the living room, the youth hostel immediately became lively. Lao Zhou looked at these people. In addition to foreigners and children in the village, there were also a few domestic tourists. They just wanted to drink the peanut milk. All out.

There were quite a lot of people. Fortunately, Lao Zhou cut his few pumpkin pies into small enough pieces before going out. Now one piece is enough for each person. Then another young man took the initiative to take over the task of cleaning the fruits, and a group of people ate them. Eat and talk, the atmosphere is very good.

Lao Zhou used to be a businessman. He spoke fluent Chinese-style English and chatted with people quickly.

He saw that among the people in the living room at the moment, only the foreigners were the biggest. If you want to feed the fruit trees on the mountain in winter, you have to have this kind of physique.

"This pastry is delicious, isn't it? Hahaha, this is the secret recipe of our cafeteria master chef, and you can't eat it anywhere else."

"What? Fruits, we still have more in our warehouse."

"Yo, you've also heard of the watermelons in Niuwangzhuang. Our watermelons are really good. If I have a chance someday, I'll open two for you to try."

"We also produce a kind of wild rose essential oil, which is mainly sold to the upper class in O continent. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

"There are no wild roses at present, but I will ask you to taste the juice made from the fruit of wild roses."

"Huojing persimmons are out of season now. When I went to the morning market today, I saw there were still some on the mountain? Those are winter rations for wild birds."

"Whether good or not, this is what should be done, hahaha..."

On Niuwang Village, wild birds are scurrying around. In winter, there are not many birds on this mountain.

However, once the weather gets colder, their food sources will become a problem. Apart from stealing a few mouthfuls when humans dry their food, they can only rely on wild fruits on the mountain to survive. There are quite a few in the mountains behind Niuwangzhuang. I haven't finished picking the rose fruit, but it has more seeds and less meat, and the birds don't like it very much.

Huojing persimmons are better, take a bite and it will be full of meat.

I think that when the fruit was just ripe, it was called a mountain, but now it has been picked, and there are only a few hanging on each tree.If it wasn't for their wit and pecking at each of these fruits at the last moment, it is estimated that even these fruits would not be left at the moment.

The old employees of Niuwangzhuang know that the last batch of Huojing persimmons received every year are basically unacceptable because they have been pecked by birds. Persimmons are not like other fruits. It can be eaten, this thing needs to be hatched, once it is hatched, it will be soft and rotten, and there is really no way to get rid of the broken skin.

Lao Zhou is still talking to others in his fluent Chinese-style English.

"Hahahaha! Everyone is responsible for caring for birds. There are many rare birds in our area. This is the result of careful care..."
