Because there was a large group of people preparing dinner in the afternoon, Cen Jiahua and Lao Chen each killed a bottle of beer and ended up. Instead, they ate two large bowls of fragrant rice with fragrant dog meat.

This fragrant rice is a specialty of Rongshu Village. It is crystal clear and fragrant. It is very chewy and vigorous when biting in the mouth. It is much better than any pearl rice. Unfortunately, Lao Chen said that the yield is too low, and the people in the village are not willing to grow this fragrant rice.

After drinking and eating, Lao Chen began to take Cen Jiahua to buy the ingredients needed for dinner tonight at the market.

Local ducks, local free-range three-yellow chickens, high-quality pork belly and some things. Cen Jiahua and his hands were filled with these spoils.

"These things, plus the Neemergia snake, let Chen Yang catch a few fish in the pond. Tonight will be a sumptuous meal." Old Chen said with a little regret while taking Cen Jiahua to buy it: "It's just a pity that there is no time now. When it's winter, we will go into the mountains to get some wild game, which is even better."

Cen Jiahua followed Lao Chen's butt with a lot of things, secretly sighing that it is still affordable for rural things! He only spent the average price in the provincial capital to get so many ingredients, and they are all pollution-free green products.

When he returned to the dam, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Lao Chen immediately started boiling water and killing chickens and ducks. Cen Jiahua is the youngest at home, and it is basically not his turn to do housework. Over the past 20 years, he has been a guy who can make fried tomatoes and fried tomatoes with eggs, so he can only be a little helper under Lao Chen's command.

Cen Jiahua, who plucked duck feathers, took off chicken feathers, washed out internal organs, was also trying to learn. After all, he would have to live here in the future. He couldn't ask others to help him every time, right? In the countryside, there are not as many convenient deli restaurants in the city, nor so many restaurants and restaurants, and everything depends on his own.

Chairman Mao once said: "Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!"

After all the ingredients were ready, Lao Chen began to show his skills.

First of all, the pork crumbs are a bit troublesome to make, but they are very popular in rural areas. First, cook the best pork belly in cold water until 80% mature, then remove and let cool. During this period, use a toothpick to tie the pig skin and make it covered with small holes so that the pig skin can be fully fluffy when frying.

After draining the pork belly, apply honey on it, then put the skin on it and fry it in hot oil. Because of the honey, the skin quickly turns evenly golden and fluffy without any charred areas.

After taking it out, cut it into neatly large slices, neatly piece it in a bowl with the skin facing down, drizzle the meat with shredded ginger, garlic paste and various seasonings, put it in the pot and steam it for an hour, and it will be done.

When it is about to be eaten, take it out and squish it on a plate, and a traditional braised pork in Zhuang Township will be made.

The three-yellow chicken is very simple. When cooked in white water, it will be a authentic white-cut chicken.

As for the duck, Cen Jiahua had never heard of Uncle Chen's method before, but when he smelled the fragrance, he knew that this dish should not be wrong.

Lao Chen first cut off the duck's flippers, wings and neck, and then blanched them in boiling ginger water for half a minute to remove the fishy smell of the duck. Then he tied the lower end of the neck with silk thread, then poured the prepared sauce into the duck's abdomen, and then sealed the abdomen with bamboo sticks.

The seasonings were made of mixing lemon, shredded ginger and various seasonings. Cen Jiahua was dizzy when he saw it. Later, Old Chen pointed out step by step that the seasonings were used, so he knew it.

Put the sealed duck into the pot, add about 500 ml of water, and heat it over medium heat. When the water in the pot is dried, the fat in the duck body begins to heat and flow out fragrant oil. When the oil is more oily, change to slow heat and slowly put the whole duck in duck oil and fry it.

When the entire duck's skin turns golden and emits an attractive and rich fragrance with a hint of lemon fragrance, it is done.

This lemon braised duck skin is crispy, but the duck meat inside is extremely tender, and it has a strong lemon aroma but does not have the fishy smell on the duck. Dip it in a little sauce left from the duck's belly and put it in your mouth and bit it, and the taste is simply no longer swaying.

It’s just that making this lemon stewed duck is too time-consuming, but it makes sense. If it’s delicious, it’s a strange thing.

Until 5 pm, Chen Yang brought a few tilapia fish he caught in his pond and rode a motorcycle on his motorcycle.

Tilapia is a common freshwater fish here. They have the characteristics of delicious taste, fast reproduction, and strong adaptability. However, it is more troublesome to slaughter because the fins on its body and the dorsal fins on its back have hard and sharp bone spurs. Cen Jiahua originally volunteered to kill the fish, but he was unfamiliar with his hands and feet. As soon as he grabbed the fish in his hand, because his technique was not good, he immediately pierced his hand by the bone spurs, and blood flowed, so he had to stop.

Seeing Chen Yang scraping the fish scales quickly and opening the fish belly, Cen Jiahua couldn't help feeling extremely ashamed.

I have lived in the city for more than 20 years and was basically a scholar who was not diligent in four bodies and had no distinction between grains. If it weren't for the contracting of the reservoir, I wouldn't have lived in the countryside, nor would I know that the delicious food I ate in the past had to be turned into a delicious food on the table through such hard work.

However, it is not too late now. You can slowly experience the joy of life in this quiet and peaceful mountain village, start learning how to live again, and have a better quality life.

A little later, the men who went to cut bamboo came back. They used a hand tractor to transport all the wood needed by Cen Jiahua. Then a group of people worked together to deliver all the wood to the island on bamboo rafts and boats. By the time the work was finished, it was sunset and it was almost dusk.

In order to eat at night, Lao Chen and Cen Jiahua specially moved the dining table to the dam. Because it is empty and there are no grass and treetops, there will naturally be no mosquitoes breeding and rest. In addition, the wind is very strong up the mountain up the dam at night, so there will be no too many mosquitoes at all.

By the time the meal started, the moon was already on the willows. A crescent moon hung high above the mountains, and the dim moonlight shone on the shimmering reservoir, as if countless gold and silver treasures had fallen from the sky. Every star in the sky seemed to be hanging on her head, as if it was within reach.

Cen Jiahua has basically never seen such a pure sky in the provincial capital, nor has she seen such gorgeous moonlight and brilliant starlight.

The table was filled with delicious food that Lao Chen had worked hard for an afternoon today, and the plates were full of tempting aromas. White chop chicken, lemon braised duck, braised tilapia, pork stewed, snake soup, chicken mixed vegetable soup plus a few seasonal vegetables, which were very rich!
