The Pentium Era - South to North

This Spring Festival passed calmly. With the experience of the previous two years, Zhang Chen and the others expected that Target's orders would come in during the Spring Festival holiday, and the delivery date would be fixed as soon as they came. It's very tight, so their factory stipulates that no matter how far or short the journey is, you must return to the factory to work on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

As expected, Target's order came in on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Xu Qiaoxin rushed to the company on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, translated the order, and printed it out. When Zhao Zhigang and Zhao Zhilong came from home on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, they went directly to Xu Qiaoxin's The foreign trade company confirms the order and fills out the production form before going to Xiasha.

At Old Tang, Xu Qiaoxin directly passed the T-shirt order to Lin Shuwan, and she would sort it out for Old Tang. Lin Shuwan was very serious about her work, so Xu Qiaoxin could rest assured.

Zhang Chen designed several new lamps. This time, he used a lot of moso bamboo and bamboo roots. Jessica liked it very much. After receiving it, she confirmed that their company had purchased the design rights, paid the design fee, and placed an order at the same time. , Xu Qiaoxin still gave it to Shentu Hongyan and the others for production.

Xu Qiaoxin also placed some orders from other customers to different factories. When the foreign trade company moved, a large number of factories under them started moving.

After finishing all this work, it felt like they had finally connected the disconnected period before and after the year before and after. Both Zhang Chen and Xu Qiaoxin breathed a sigh of relief.

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the lunar month, Zhang Chen went to the factory and saw that 80 to 90 percent of the workers were already in place, and some trains and long-distance buses would also arrive tonight.

Zhao Zhigang and Zhang Chen said, don't worry, boss, everyone will arrive on time, everyone knows it.

Huijuan has come from home, her shop is open, and her parents have followed her to Hangzhou. They live in the house assigned to Huijuan by Zhang Chen in the factory living area.

Huijuan's father knew that Zhang Chen was in the factory this afternoon, so he had to let Huijuan take him to Zhang Chen's office. He wanted to come in person to thank Zhang Chen and meet his future boss. He said this was Etiquette.

The two people arrived at Zhang Chen with a ham, a few knives of bacon, and a jar of home-brewed wine. Zhang Chen saw them and quickly stood up to greet them.

Huijuan's father is in his fifties, of medium height, not fat, but he looks very strong and has a swarthy complexion. He looks like a good worker at first glance. When shaking hands with Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen felt his There are also thick calluses on the hands like Xiao Zhao's father.

But unlike Xiao Zhao's father, Xiao Zhao's father has a thick layer covering the entire palm. He has it at the tiger's mouth and the roots or the lowest section of several fingers. It is particularly obvious. He should have been holding kitchen knives for many years. Left behind by the horse spoon.

Although he himself asked Huijuan to bring him to see Zhang Chen, he was not good at words. He sat there, tossing and turning, and could only say a few words of thanks, so Zhang Chen had to keep saying, "You're welcome, you're welcome." , Master Xu, you’re welcome.

Huijuan was a little embarrassed. She blushed slightly and changed the subject. She asked, Brother Zhang, oh, Mr. Zhang, do you have time in the evening?

"What?" Zhang Chen asked.

"My dad is going to use the dried radish slices Mr. Liu brought to make salty pig's trotters stewed with radish slices and stewed pork with dried cowpeas. Can you guys come and try it?" Huijuan asked.

"Great!" Zhang Chen said, "I'll call right away."

Zhang Chen called Liu Ligan's phone and asked him, "Why don't you come and try the dried radish slices your mother dried in the evening? Huijuan's father will be in charge."

Liu Ligan shouted loudly: "Of course, I will definitely come. Zhang Chen, please stay in the factory and don't run away. I will bring Tan Shuzhen and Lao Tan over."

Zhang Chen said yes, brother Liu, can you call me?

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and his cake shop and milk tea shop were very busy during the Spring Festival. He returned to Taipei for four days and rushed back to Hangzhou on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. At this time, he was either busy in the shop or in the factory.

Liu Ligan said, I let the Communist army fight. In the new year and the new atmosphere, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party need to continue to cooperate.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, OK.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen and Huijuan said, leave the box for us, there are five people in total, and at most one more Wang Minsheng will be added.

"Isn't the landlady coming?" Huijuan asked.

"She went to Beijing." Zhang Chen said.

Huijuan nodded, pulled her father to stand up, and said to Zhang Chen, let's go to the store.

Zhang Chen sent them to the door.

At almost six o'clock, Zhang Chen received a call from Liu Ligan and told him, "We are almost there. Zhang Chen, please come out too." Zhang Chen agreed.

Zhang Chen walked over and reached the door of Huijuan Local Food Restaurant. Liu Ligan and the others had just arrived. Zhang Chen was startled. He saw four cars coming, Liu Ligan's Aston Martin and Lao Tan, Liu Bang's jeep and Lin Shuwan's red Ferrari also followed.

The car door opened, and those who got out of the car were not only Liu Ligan, Tan Shuzhen, Lao Tan, Han Emperor Liu Bang, Wang Minsheng, Lin Shuwan and Lao Tang, but also Yao Fen and Xu Wenhui.

When Lin Shuwan saw Zhang Chen, she snorted and said: Brother, you didn't even call me for dinner, I'm not happy. Fortunately, when Brother Tan called Brother Liu, we happened to be at Brother Liu's place.

Old Tang shouted, "No need to shout, just come and grab it."

Zhang Chen quickly explained, he said, I didn't think that Old Tang was in the factory and you couldn't leave because you had to take care of the child at home. By the way, where is the little Old Tang?

"Auntie is taking it with me," Lin Shuwan said.

Everyone went in and filled up the private room. Huijuan told them, today your table is all cooked by my father, and they are all local dishes. You don’t want to show off. Also, it is the first time for him to use my kitchen today. , a little bit unaccustomed to it.

"The more rustic the better." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said, "Huijuan, ask your father to bring out the most rustic dishes."

Huijuan said yes.

The first thing that came up was indeed a very rustic dish, which shocked them all, especially Lin Shuwan. What Ah Qiao brought up was a whole salted pig head sitting on a stainless steel tray. Old Tang When he saw it, he yelled and stretched out his hand to pull. The pig's head had been boiled to pieces, and Old Tang grabbed a pig's ear in his hand.

Everyone started to eat and applauded while eating. Old Tang stretched out the ear in front of Lin Shuwan. Lin Shuwan shook her head and did not dare to eat, but seeing that everyone said it was delicious, she closed her eyes and took a bite, which hit her mouth. , his eyes opened, not only open, but also widened, and he shouted:

"It's very yummy!"

"Eliminate, eliminate." Old Tang kept shouting. Everyone looked at him and didn't know what he was talking about. Old Tang's mouth was full of oil. Lin Shuwan wiped him with a tissue. Old Tang said: "This pig head is completely You can eliminate that roasted leg of lamb, and I will definitely eat here."

Liu Ligan looked at him and said: "Eat a pig's head, why not fry it in a hurry?"

Everyone laughed.

Today's wine is not the heated rice wine, but the red yeast wine that Huijuan and the others brought from home. After being heated, it is sour and has a strong aroma. When you drink it, it is just right. The greasy taste in my mouth was neutralized.

Next came the eight-treasure dish, which is made from shredded celery, shredded white radish, shredded carrots, shredded mushrooms, shredded black fungus, shredded fried tofu, hair skin, which is what Nanjing people call skin belly shreds, and added shredded ginger. Stir-fried together, it’s beautiful and refreshing.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said, "This looks a lot like Hakka stir-fry, but the taste is completely different. It's so delicious."

Huijuan came up with a casserole and told them, here it comes, here it is, Mr. Liu's stewed salted pig's trotters with dried radish slices.

When Liu Ligan heard this, he quickly picked up a chopstick and put the radish slices into his mouth. The taste of the radish was still there, but because it was dry, even though it had been stewed for a long time, it was still firm and chewy, stewed with salty pig's trotters. Together, it’s really indescribably delicious.

"No, no, Huijuan, I must bring my mother to eat. She must not know that the food she made is so delicious." Liu Ligan said.

Huijuan smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, what you sent here are all good things."

Old Tang ate a piece of radish slices with chopsticks, nodded, picked up another chopstick, put it in front of his eyes, and started to fight back at Liu Ligan. He asked:

"This belongs to Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu, which part of your body is this?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Lin Shuwan scolded: "Idiot, that's not the one, this is the one."

While she was talking, she scooped out a piece of salty pig's trotters with a spoon and put it into the bowl in front of Old Tang. Everyone almost laughed.

Liu Ligan scolded: "You are really a pair of adulterous couples across the Taiwan Strait, working together in confusion."

Next is the stuffed pork belly with dried cowpeas. This is not stuffed in a pot, but steamed in a steamer. It is similar to the braised pork with plums and vegetables, but not as salty as the braised pork with plums and vegetables. Zhang Chen said, this, I One person can eat one plate.

Then came the stir-fried dried eggplant with pickled pepper, green garlic, and pork belly. The pork belly was stir-fried in oil until golden brown, and then stir-fried with dried eggplant, green garlic, and pickled pepper foam. It was even more delicious than stir-fried pork. Liu Ligan and Huijuan said, this is my favorite When you leave, you have to take a portion with you. By the way, prepare a portion of the stewed radish slices for me. I want to take it back for my parents to try.

"Why, don't you bring them to eat?" Tan Shuzhen asked.

Liu Ligan said: "It's better to pack it up, otherwise, as soon as Old Liu comes, Huijuan's place will not be closed. He can eat it all day and night."

Next came the steamed mandarin fish. The condiments for the steamed fish are very simple, just ginger slices, garlic slices, and Jinhua ham slices. But the steamed fish is the most important thing about the heat. If the heat is not enough, the fish meat is still stained with fish bones. If the heat is over, the fish will be too old. This fish is steamed just right and is extremely tender.

Then several more dishes were served, and everyone praised each one. Lao Tan concluded, do you think Huijuan's dishes are already delicious, but her father's dishes are even better? Being more sophisticated, there is no other way. This is something that is developed over time and practice makes perfect.

"It makes sense. Mr. Tan, you summed it up very classically with these few sentences." Xu Wenhui said.

Huijuan came up with a large basin and said to Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty: "Brother Liu, this is what you want. The more earthy the dish, the better. In our hometown, this is the last dish. If the previous dishes are not enough, this is the dish." It’s enough to serve one dish, which is called a hodgepodge, or a family meal.”

Look at this big bowl. The main thing in it is Chinese cabbage stalks, plus meatballs, fish balls, squid rolls, sausages, river shrimps, braised chicken nuggets, hairy crab nuggets, beef slices, tofu, hairy skin, green garlic, Horse hooves, etc., there are dozens of kinds of ingredients. It looks like all the leftover ingredients in the kitchen have been put into the pot to cook. It is indeed a hodgepodge.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the matching of each material is actually very particular. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, if you sit at the same table, you are a family. Isn’t this a family reunion?

"Huijuan, Huijuan, go and call your father over. I must give him a toast and thank him!" Lao Tan shouted, and everyone responded. It was so enjoyable!
