Boss Xia's Lobster Restaurant

"This is really our counselor? You won't be possessed by some strange thing in the mountains, right?" Seeing that after Shen Yiping finished a big bowl of chicken soup, he took a big piece of pig bone and gnawed on it, and picked up some sauerkraut from time to time. Put it in your mouth, it looks like a disaster victim who hasn't eaten meat for a year, it's just horrible!

Xia Qingyang moved his chopsticks, and couldn't help but want to pick up two pieces of meat for him...

Yi Jiangnan sat beside Shen Yiping, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he reached out and took a flowering steamed bun the size of a sea bowl from the table, and quietly covered his face...

When going out to eat with your lover, it’s okay to encounter bad restaurants, but if you encounter delicious ones, it’s a capitalized "shame"! ! !

"Eat them all! You're welcome! This steamed bun is a unique craft in the village! Don't look unremarkable on the outside, the bread inside is rose sauce made from wild roses in the mountains, you can't eat it outside!" Mother Xia stood up and gave There was a big steamed bun in each person's bowl, and she liked to eat the steamed buns with flowers, not to mention the chewiness, and the rose sauce in it tasted better than any jam used in pastries. This spring, she specially let Xia Qingyang They found people in the village and helped them make several jars of rose sauce and stored them in their cellar, waiting to make steamed buns in winter!At this moment, the eldest son's university teacher came to visit the house, and Xia's mother naturally took out the best things at home to entertain the teacher.

"Mmm! This flowering steamed bun is really delicious!" Shen Yiping broke off half of the steamed bun, tore it open and put it in a bowl, and then soaked two spoonfuls of sauerkraut bone soup in it after listening to Mama Xia's words. It tasted sour and delicious. , Compared with mutton steamed buns, it has a unique local flavor in the mountains.

After a meal, Shen Yiping resolutely ate enough again, went back to the room, chewed a few Jianweixiaoshi tablets and swallowed them, lay down on the carpet in front of the fireplace, and asked Yi Jiangnan to rub his belly.

"Should! Let you be greedy!" Yi Jiangnan scolded with a smile while rubbing his palms to warm his belly.

"Oh~~ We'll be on vacation for two days this time, and we'll be back the day after tomorrow, so what's wrong with you making me eat twice?" Shen Yiping pressed his fist against his stomach in pain, and wanted to reach for Xiao Jin on the table. Oranges to eat.

"Don't eat it! I asked Sister Xia to help me cook some hawthorn water. You can drink a pot for me later and talk about it later!"

"Yeah! Sister Xia's aunt is really good at cooking! I heard that there will be mutton pot for dinner at night. Go and tell Xiaoxia to ask the kitchen to get me more frozen tofu and shredded radish balls?"

"...Sooner or later, you will be exhausted! It will be convenient to write you a tombstone at that time, five words: This person is exhausted, pawn!" Yi Jiangnan pinched his fleshy buttocks bitterly, damn it!It's abominable that you can't do things you can't do when you're full!

This afternoon, the two of them walked around Daxi Village hand in hand. Today, the Xia family went to sweep the graves of the two little Douding's family members. The two of them were fine, so they simply walked along the stone road in the village.

To say that this Daxi is indeed a pearl hidden in the deep mountains, even in winter, the scenery is very charming.The mottled stone walls with a sense of vicissitudes, stone bridges and stone steps, the bluestone slabs washed smooth and round by the stream, the peasant woman squatting on the bluestone slabs with a bamboo basket to wash clothes... Yi Jiangnan walked and walked. I couldn’t walk anymore, so I started looking for a suitable angle to take pictures with my camera. When I saw someone taking pictures, schoolchildren from the village gathered around them, wearing bright red scarves around their necks. It is such a beautiful picture full of the impact and collision of the times!

"Oops! The memory card is full!" The two of them took pictures all the way, and before they had walked halfway, the digital camera in Yi Jiangnan's hand showed that the storage space was insufficient, and he was so angry that he wanted to get a memory card somewhere immediately. !

"Let's go! Aren't we going to live here for a week next year? You take pictures every day and no one cares about you!" Shen Yiping was thinking about the mutton pot at night, and refused to go on. In such a cold day, he should squat Eat roasted sweet potatoes over fire at home!

When they went back, Xia Qingyang's family had already returned, and they were inviting the villagers to kill sheep in the yard!

This sheep was raised by the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Mother Xia called a few days ago and asked the village head to order a pig, a sheep, and half a cow, and she planned to come and take it home for the New Year.

This sheep looks like it can weigh more than 80 catties. One of the two middle-aged people held the sheep with its legs tied, and the other bled it, and took it in a large stainless steel basin. The blood of the sheep was used to make sheep blood tofu. , fried lamb blood with chili, and lamb blood soup are all delicious.

After finishing the sheep's blood and bringing it to the kitchen, the two came out and carefully peeled off the sheepskin. According to the rules, this sheepskin was given to the master who killed the sheep, and it could be sold for a lot of money!

The next step is to deal with all kinds of edible haggis, sheep's feet and sheep's head.The processed mutton is evenly divided into pieces. The temperature in this mountain is so low that even the refrigerator is not used. It is directly strung up with grass ropes and hung under the eaves, and it freezes overnight!Just wrap it in a plastic bag when you leave.

This mountain is very particular. When the family slaughters pigs and sheep, it invites several acquainted neighbors to come to the house to have fun. The Xia family is considered to be newly settled in Daxi Village. A family who helped them take care of the house, the whole house was eating mutton in a pot. There were several steamed steamed buns in the pot, stewed pork and sauerkraut vermicelli. Frozen tofu, spinach, all kinds of meatballs, vermicelli, radish slices, etc., made everyone sweat profusely, and Shen Yiping couldn't wait to recognize Mama Xia as his mother, so that he could come and eat for a long time... Anyway His parents had gone to see Marx a long time ago, leaving him alone to contribute to the cause of communism, isn't it quite lonely?

"Hey~~ This wine is really good!" It was rare for the old village chief not to be under the supervision of his wife, and he had a good meal of old wine that night!

"Haha~~ This wine is a new product developed by my friend's winery this year, and it hasn't been sold outside yet! If you like it, can I take two bottles with you when you leave?" Mother Xia said with a smile.

"That's a good relationship! The old man can't drink your wine for free. In this way, I will ask my second boy to send you some dried bamboo shoots and dried vegetables and mushrooms from our own home. It can be regarded as an addition to the Chinese New Year!"

A group of people ate and drank in Daxi, and spent a happy weekend. When he came back on Sunday afternoon, Shen Yiping couldn't bear to leave here. Fortunately, this guy drove here by himself, otherwise he would be a shopaholic. Big ham, a sack of dried vegetables and bamboo shoots of various colors, a sack of pecans, pine nuts, spiced peanuts and other nuts, as well as two large baskets of local specialty tangerines, and a large basket of winter bamboo shoots just dug out with some yellow mud... The ghost is willing to help him bring it!

Neither do counselors!

"Hehe~~ New Year's goods! New Year's goods!" Seeing everyone's surprised and curious eyes, Yi Jiangnan couldn't help but blush.

Mama Xia wasn't too surprised. For a housewife like her, which Chinese New Year shop doesn't buy in baskets?Otherwise, the food market will be closed for the Chinese New Year. If the family does not have enough goods for the New Year and the guests come to the door, will they eat dirt for them?

"Oh! There are so many things, you can't fit in this car!" Mother Xia looked at the Volkswagen driven by Shen Yiping regretfully, the small trunk almost couldn't be closed!

"Forget it! Put the pork and mutton you have shared in our car first, and let Yang Yang send them to the dormitory for you later!" Xia's mother said.

"Hey~~ No, no, no! Just let it go to your house, Jiang Nan and I are not very good at cooking, when we get hungry, just come to your house with Yang Yang to have a meal, Yang Yang will not disagree Right?" Shen Yiping looked at Xia Qingyang with a smile.

"Uh~~ Welcome!" Xia Qingyang was speechless.He swears that he really received the counselor's threatening gaze just now. If he dared to refuse, he would definitely fail the moral score at the end of the semester... The reasons are all ready-made: disrespecting the teacher!

Not long after returning, the class decided to go to Daxi to collect scenery at the end of March after the beginning of spring, and complete the task of photography practice class.Because this is a practical course in the major, the school subsidizes part of it, and each student has to pay [-] yuan for board and lodging, and any excess will be refunded and any deficiency will be compensated.

In the past, Ji Sainan, a stingy woman, would definitely not be able to bear the money, but now, with Xia Qingyang's relationship, their family's life is much better than before, and she alone relies on the paper fan factory every month If you do piecework, you can earn more than 2000 when you get a lot of salary, which is much more than handing out leaflets on the street or doing tutoring!

The most important thing is that this work can be done at home, so she can stay with her mother at night, and do handwork after finishing her homework, without delaying anything.

Ji's mother is also very satisfied with her current life.In the past, her daily life was worse than death. If she hadn't been worried about her daughter, she would have wiped her neck... Fortunately, she survived!

Now, she sits in a wheelchair, watches TV every day when she is bored, and makes paper fans, which can both pass the time and make money. She feels that she is finally useful to this family.If it weren't for her husband and daughter to limit the number, she could earn three to four thousand a month just by making paper fans!

Ji's father also cherishes his current job very much.In fact, it was three months after he entered the lobster restaurant that he fully understood Xia Qingyang's painstaking efforts.

At that time, because he needed to sign another formal labor contract after becoming a regular, the manager called him into the office. In addition to the contract, he also asked him to fill out a form for poor families. The catering company provides scholarships to all the children of poor families who are excellent in their studies. According to their family's situation, his son and daughter can get a scholarship of 6000 yuan every year!This is almost the sum of tuition and miscellaneous fees for men and women for one year!

"No~~ Manager! I've only been here for three months, I can't ask for this money..."

"Take it! Our Boss Xiaoxia is a good person. If you really feel sorry, do a good job in the store in the future! Don't disappoint the boss's heart for us!"

Ji's father took the money home with red eyes, so grateful that he couldn't express it, and became the chief loyal dog of the lobster restaurant ever since!

The family had money, and this time, Ji Sainan, as the class monitor, was the first to pay the money, which made Li Chunying, who was waiting to see her jokes, almost die of anger!

This poor!When did you get so rich? !
