This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 161 Isn't This Awkward?

The second day the weather cleared up as expected. The sun was very strong and my skin felt hot from the sun. The rice fields were flooded, leaving only an obvious water level line.

Many peaches ran out of Qingtang and ran through the silt. A large number of villagers wearing straw hats began to catch them after checking their own rice fields. There were many peaches on the land, and they were contracted to Qingtang for viewing.

Going to Sanlingtang this morning to see the peaches, it's very clear. Those rice fields should have been cleared a lot from other ponds, and now this one is very clear.

After discussion, the village committee decided: if the villagers caught peaches, they could bring back as many peaches as possible, and the village committee would bear the losses of the pond owner, including the losses of other crops.

The village committee took the villagers to check around the fields and promised the villagers that when they got to Tao, they found Zhang Qinghen and asked Zhang Qinghen to come over to join in the fun.

He picked up the basket and nudged the person next to him with his elbow, saying, "I'm a new official, so I have the courage. Minister Zhang, look at your vision. It's wrong."

The election results were announced half a month ago. When Xia Lin stepped down, Zhang Hui met that woman who took over. Although she was too young to understand, she was definitely a member of the Zhang family.

Zhang Qingrang wore a straw hat, a sun-protection jacket over his T-shirt, and his trouser legs were folded up to reveal his well-proportioned, fair calves. He put on a pair of thatched slippers and hung them on a hand-held winnowing basket.

I just walked over the ridge of a field, and my feet were covered in mud. I told them to wash them clean. There were two buckets of water next to me, and I saw they were busy working for half the morning. They caught a lot of pond corner clear mullets, seven-star clear mullets, and a few red carp.

Hearing Tao Zhang teasing him, he deliberately interrupted, "Let's go and take a look over there. I just heard some noise. It should be clear in my corner of the pond. Let's catch more."

"There's already a lot in the bucket."

"A lot? I think peaches are big enough. Add some pickled peppers and basil to make a sour and spicy stew. Everyone loves peaches."

"I noticed that you've been quite hot lately."

"This peach used to be."

"It is said that the peaches are so strong now, and they are so big that they want to sprinkle two handfuls of chili powder on the peaches and watermelons." I really saw such a peach, I tried it because I was curious about the taste... I will never accept it.

"Zhang Tao, because you cook so well." Zhang Qingrang walked from the other side of the village road under the ridge of the field and walked to the place where he heard the noise just now.

 Rong waited for Tao to catch up, "This mouth is sweet."

"Every time my village praises you for your good cooking, they also praise you for your good cooking."

"Don't even think about pua me to be the cook."

"……"Where did Zhang learn such words?

Zhang Qingren stood at the ground, his face full of helplessness.

Tao couldn't help laughing, urged Hui to hurry up, and said, "You're not taking it seriously, joking."

"Read less online jokes."

"Okay, we have to see. I really don't want to be out of touch with society. Let's go back and talk to Mu He and Shao Yue about the topic of the village. Let's pick up the stalk."

"What's your idea?" Zhang Hui said after thinking about it.

"Of course. I used to be a village girl, but now I'm back in the village farming and become a village girl. I feel very balanced." Who in the village would talk nonsense?

I'm not very credible. Zhang Qingrang is already planning to make more concessions. "Then come and live in the provincial capital with me?"

"Big," the rejection was very straightforward, and I wanted to add a sentence, "I can stay for a while, I'll accompany you."

Zhang Qingrang felt warm in his heart and smiled, "Hmm..."

"Hmm, what? Let's talk? Where are you? How can you let us move? Let's run, let's run?"

"If you say run, run here." Zhang Qingrang pointed at the corner of the pond where Qing was hiding under the seedlings.

I roughly counted them and found two or three. I picked up the net bag and took away the pot, "What a great harvest."

Zhang Qingrang and I passed the bucket to each other very well, but I caught it and found another nest.

I went out for several mornings and brought back a big bucket of clean food. This time, I brought back a lot of shares. Liu, Jiang Qi and Muhe saw me.

Jiang Qi resigned from his internship unit and found a job. When he arrived in Taoyuan, he saw the girl who lived there very enthusiastic and capable. He wanted to keep her for the job, so he talked to Jiang Qi and the girl agreed. Some time ago, Zhang went back to his hometown to deal with renting a house and some trivial matters. He flew to the provincial capital a few days ago, but was delayed by heavy rain and finally caught the earliest train to Nangui today.

We went to the rice fields to catch a lot of clear water pears and black-backed crucian carp. They were very wild and delicious when stewed in clear soup.

It has been almost two months since Muhe came to Dazhang Village. I have been traveling to many villages in Nangui Town to collect some medicinal materials of great quality. I can see that I am very motivated.

A few people crowded around the well and the water tank and chattered about the good harvest today. "We caught a lot of big ones. Our village said we caught a lot of snails, shrimps and crabs. The small white strip village said we wanted a big one."

"Little White Strip fried peaches are delicious, why bother?"

"We have two barrels, let's enlarge them, and two Egyptian qingnazhan let's have a barrel."

"If there are more in the afternoon, we'll catch more and bring them back. When the peaches are full, we'll put more in Sanlingtang."

"Don't wait until the afternoon. Tao let's have lunch."

We asked whether we wanted the peaches to be big or in chunks.

"I have most of them, you guys should have more." The strong wind blew down many of the ripe fruits, including a large piece of corn. I have to go to the orchard to work in the afternoon and go out to the winery.

So much meat, at noon, let's make a mixed meat stew, put a layer of green onion and ginger shreds on the bottom of the casserole, put the marinated meat on top, pour the prepared sauce, and then cover it with a layer of chopped pickled peppers. After boiling, the hot and sour taste penetrates into the meat. Sprinkle a handful of perilla before serving. If you want a rich taste, you can put fishy grass. Jiang Qi accepted the fishy grass taste, and said I put it. Two large Egyptian meats were killed and the meat seeds were taken out. This kind of meat is soaked, only the meat is crispy, the meat seeds have a solid taste, a bit soft and glutinous, and the color is green and yellow after cooking. It is good to make a meat seed pot alone or with meat to make hot and sour meat. It is similar to the hot and sour pickled peppers. It is best to use pickled sour plums to make Egyptian meat, which is appetizing and greasy, and can neutralize the greasy feeling of Egyptian meat itself.

Use two large Egyptian apples to make hot and sour soup, and it would be too monotonous to make only one flavor. It happened that Li Shuiqin picked up a basket of small tomatoes from the vegetable garden this morning. These tomatoes were blown down by a strong wind yesterday. It was a pity to leave them to rot on the ground. She picked them up as fruit, so she washed the tomatoes and boiled them into tomato juice.

Cut the fat and tender Egyptian pork into slices of even thickness with a skewer. First blanch it with a skewer to remove excess mucus on the surface of the pork skin. Slightly roll up the pork meat to shape it, then remove it and set aside. Be careful not to use too much force when removing it, as it may easily break the pork meat.

Bring to a boil over high heat, add the tomato juice and soup, then put in the meat that is already three or four percent cooked, pour a circle of white wine on the edge of the pot, like making flame-drunk goose. After turning off the heat, the meat is almost cooked, pour it out, pour hot oil on it, and then pour a layer of chopped tomatoes, false beech leaves, and minced garlic on it.

The Egyptian peaches have only bones, thin thorns, fat meat, delicate and tender taste, and are cheap, so they are very popular locally. The peaches are easy to get tired of, and they look very fishy when farmed. They are much better than those farmed in the village, and are fat and lean, with very elastic skin.

At noon, the villagers usually make soup, which takes a lot of time. Some of them are meat slices, meatballs and wild vegetable soup, which are simple and convenient, but they must make egg tomato soup or seaweed egg drop soup. These soups require a lot of water to wash the pot.

When all the dishes were served, everyone started eating the mixed soup, hot and sour soup, and Egyptian tomato slices. The big peach looked very fresh and so delicious that it made the villagers' tongues drop.

The two of them were very quick to pick up the food and put it into Zhang Qingrang's big bowl.

Seeing this, Xiao Ya complained, "Second Aunt is partial to Aunt Qing. I gave all my good things to Aunt Qing, this big one to Second Grandma, this big one to Mom and Dad, this big one to me, whoever has the big one, that one to Aunt Qing. Today's good one, yesterday's good one, yesterday's good one, yesterday's good one, a lot of good ones, I've seen them all."

This was a very normal thing that Xiao Lianqiao had said in public. When she arrived at Taolian Village, she was so embarrassed that her face turned red. In order to cover it up, she found the remaining clear stomach and gave it to Xiao Lianqiao.

"I'll give you this big one. I'll give it to you." Please don't say that, little ancestor. I feel very happy to be stared at and giggled at by someone at the table. I really want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Zhang Qing was persuaded by the bowl and gave it to Lian Qiao. "This is mine, you are very good, Zhang."

Lian Qiao was a spoiled and sensible child. She pushed the food in her bowl to Zhang Qingrang's bowl and said, "I'll exchange with Aunt Qing."

"Thank you, Lianqiao." Zhang Qingrang gladly accepted this.

Lian Qiao raised her head and laughed loudly, soon forgetting about the matter and concentrating on eating.

Tao said to Zhang Qingtao and asked her to pick up some dishes for him. Tao kept her head down the whole time and asked Zhang Qingtao to put the dishes back into his bowl. The two of them were showing their affection on the table and it was very satisfying.

Afterwards, Liu Chu Suan Da Liu Qiu said very sourly: "Wait, I will talk to you in a few days and show off our love."

"You?" Dao An shook his head. "I haven't talked about dating since I was in college for four years, but I've been single ever since. I've dated many people, so I'm afraid I'll get hurt if I brag."

"Brother!" Dao Liu stomped his feet in anger, left him a half-washed bowl, and went back to the main room.

"There are so many pots and pans, I have to watch them all being washed."

"Big man, look at how to wash the dishes."

I looked at the two large basins of dishes and chopsticks beside me, handed me a few pots, and sighed, "Okay, I'll wash them myself."

Now it's time to harvest corn. A lot of corn was blown down by the wind and can only be picked up and cooked, or chopped up to feed chickens and ducks. This is a big corn grown at home and sold. I think it's a pity to say that a lot of chickens are left when picking corn. It's sunny after the rain, and there are a lot of mushrooms coming out. I went out in the morning and many tourists picked them by the roadside.

Zhang Qing asked the man wearing gloves to come over and help.

Tao looked up and said, "You should take a nap. You slept so late yesterday and got up so early today."

As for why he slept so late, it was because of what Zhang Hui said at the end that he caused a lot of trouble. Zhang Qingrang didn't let Hui go until the rooster crowed in the middle of the night.

"Let's talk business. You two should work faster. How many more wine shops does Da Zhang need?"

"Well, we need to discuss with the masters to brew more other wines. Once the formalities are completed, we can sell them by the end of the year. This is the first batch of wine to be officially sold."

"The restaurant used to sell rice wine from the village, and it's a big mistake in the evaluation."

When the winery was just beginning to be renovated, my young master came to inquire about it. He was a connoisseur and knew that the wine could be made from good wine. Don't be fooled by what the old man said at first, but when he got home, he kept muttering that in the past, people would only care about their appetite, but now the law of fragrance prevails.

I have absolute confidence in what Tao has done for herself, "This is right."

"It's always wrong to pay too much attention to the point."

"What village told you to give in?"

After digging a ridge, Zhang Qingrang remembered to ask: "What should I do if stealing medicinal herbs is a problem?"

After Daojiazhuang became famous, I can say that I have completely prevented this kind of situation from happening. Almost every year, the police station in the town and the village received one or two reports of the case. This year, the situation is even worse. Some people sneaked into the corners in the middle of the night and stole valuable things such as Dendrobium and Ganoderma lucidum. Many villagers and villages have suffered. This is very common in my local village. I saw this from outside. Before the heavy rain, a group of professional thieves were caught.

"Seeing that the stolen goods are seized, we should arrest those who should be arrested and punish those who should be punished."

The newly appointed village director mentioned that the medicinal herb planting area in the village should be designated as a protected area, like a nature reserve deep in the mountains. This would be able to completely put an end to the theft and have a deterrent effect.

But once it is included in the protection area, picking and planting will be under the control of the village committee. I have responded very standardly, and the villagers will definitely be very happy. Therefore, it is difficult to implement and we can only strengthen protection first.

But that was considered a good thing. I saw the patrol, and Zhang Ye escaped without any chance of observation and entered Yaoshan. In the afternoon, Zhang Qing and Tao gave up the wine shop. Li Shuiqin called and asked them to go home quickly.

"It's an epidemic! Several people have been carried out from the big spring. Everyone in the village knows about it. Go back and check! I heard that there are some hiding in the deep mountains!"
