【0056】 Delicious fragrance

Enlong in August is the hottest season of the year. The hot sun hangs high in the air, endless heat is pouring down, and the whole world is in full bloom.

On the camphor tree in the Gu family's yard, cicadas and celestial bulls were shouting wildly, as if the air had become hotter.

However, what makes people unable to sit still at this time is the strong fragrance floating downstairs. Xu Guinan stopped playing guitar and lay down on the balcony on the third floor with Gu Fei and others on the balcony on the third floor.

Uncle Gu Fei was smearing pieces of pork belly, which were square, with salt and honey water, and then put them in a pan and fry them.

Everyone knows that this is a process for the Zhuang family to buckle pork. After the boiled pork belly encountered high temperature oil, it was quickly fried to the skin that was crispy and fragrant. Because the pig skin was applied with honey water, and the pig skin had been tucked with countless small holes with bamboo sticks, it quickly became fluffy and the color was very beautiful.

In the banquet at Zhuang farmers' homes, braised pork is undoubtedly one of the most complicated and time-consuming dishes, and is deeply loved by the public.

In addition to selecting ingredients, craftsmanship and seasoning are still very important when making pork skin cannot be crispy, fatty and soft, and lean meat is not dry, that is, it is a failure.

"Brother Fei, your home is doing a grand job this time. My home is probably only 10 or 20 tables for wine!" Luo Jiahua silently considered the scale in front of him, feeling a little moved.

Luo Jiahua and Gu Fei have been with four years, and they know that Gu Fei's family is in good condition, but they didn't expect that the Gu family has such a big deal. Nowadays, it is not easy for a college student to provide a college student, and they save as much as possible in many things.

"You also know that our grandmother has many relatives, and the villagers are willing to come. It is not suitable to get less!" Gu Fei nodded and said, "I'll go down and get some fried waist rolls up, let's have some to satisfy our cravings!"

Half-best boy, I'm starving to death!

Gu Fei and his group of students were the most edible stage in their lives. They only ate lunch for a while and were hungry again when they smelled the smell of fried meat.

"Pig Head!" Seeing Gu Fei go downstairs, He Xiaolan followed him step by step and silently helped Gu Fei to deliver things.

The parents of Gu Lu and the other families saw it and said that if they didn't mention anything else, He Xiaolan's diligent appearance made them very happy.

Seeing this scene, Teacher Qi You and others had nothing to say. The couple had been half public in school and both were admitted to Fuhua. Gu Fei even passed the exam for the top scorer in Guixi Province. The statement that "early love affects learning" does not work for them.

In addition to fried waist rolls, Gu Fei also made some side dishes such as fried peanuts and got a group of classmates on the third floor for a drink and some cold beer while chatting.

The children of the Zhuang family are born to drink, and parents generally do not restrict their children from drinking. As long as they don’t drink and get drunk after graduating from junior high school, it’s okay.

So everyone drinks some beer and treats it as a drink to relieve the heat.

…………

As the sun gradually turned westward, the aroma on the glutinous rice field became stronger and stronger. As a "counter" Zhao Mingshan controlled the rhythm of banquet preparations very well. The chef in charge was also very experienced and the process of the ingredients was just right.

The guests who came to attend the "School Entry Banquet" spontaneously took action and placed seats and benches. The banquet had entered the countdown stage.

"Brothers, let's go down to help, but no one is drunk, right?" Gu Fei hid upstairs for most of the day, and now it finally came in handy, so he shouted.

"Brother Fei, who do you look down on?" Du Quanyou took off the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and shouted, "I will definitely drink you down later!"

Du Quanyou's words caused others to agree. Gu Fei passed the top scorer and had a girlfriend. These people have long lost their "satisfaction". He is considered awesome to be able to stand and leave the table tonight!

Seeing Gu Fei being attacked by a group of people, He Xiaolan didn't speak and looked at him with a smile.

He Xiaolan naturally knew the deep feelings between Gu Fei and several classmates, complained and spoke harshly, but it was just because the relationship was in place.

After the group went downstairs, they didn't need to be assigned by adults. They got into the role with a familiarity. After all, everyone was from rural families and they usually participated in such banquets more often, and no one taught them to understand them.

The boy with quick hands and feet picked up the tray and took on the heavy responsibility of serving food. The girl was careful and distributed dishes, chopsticks, drinks, beer and cigarettes at the table. He Xiaolan didn't understand very well, so Gu Xue was by her side to take care of her and gave her guidance.

Speaking of which, the banquet prepared by the Gu family is indeed much higher than that of ordinary families. For example, the drink is Coca-Cola instead of the pineapple produced by a small local factory, the iced beer on it is not the earthen Maotai (home-brewed rice wine), and the cigarettes are not the three towers of three yuan per pack but the ten yuan Hongtashan.

This time, Gu Jianye was happy, and with Gu Fei making a fortune, Gu Jianye simply spent all the money he saved in the past few years at this banquet. One hundred and twenty tables, the standard of 300 yuan per table is a big deal in this era.

You know, this time the Gu family will not accept gifts from guests!

Gu Fei, his classmates, and his relatives and neighbors' cousins, and nearly thirty cousins, were carrying trays like butterflies and shuttled through more than a hundred tables, delivering the dishes prepared by the chef like flowing water.

In the banquet at Zhuang family, white-cut chickens and white-cut ducks are naturally indispensable. The selected local chickens and ducks are simply boiled to retain the most rustic taste of the chickens and ducks themselves, which is enough to attract the taste of diners.

In addition, the Gu family also prepared a roast duck that was popular in the county town in the past two years. In order to let guests eat freshly baked roast duck, the Gu family even invited the roast duck chef to the Gu family with a roast duck stove to cook on site.

Steamed pork, sausage, char siu and fried waist rolls are also indispensable dishes for family banquets. These hard dishes with complex production techniques and solid ingredients have become standard.

In addition, various dishes such as stewed pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, etc. were also served one after another. Their appearance was average, but the taste was not bad, and the portion was amazing.

This is also the characteristic of rural banquets nowadays. They pay attention to the quantity and affordability, otherwise they will be considered stingy.

After several years, the villagers gradually held banquets in the city hotels. The dishes were better and the prices were higher, but they did not have the simplicity they are today.

No one can tell which one is better or worse.

…………

The Gu family has helped a lot, and the ingredients are prepared enough. In addition, the weather is hot, so there is no need to worry about whether the dishes are cold or not. After nearly half an hour of busy work, the 120-table banquet will be held at the same time!

There were 10 people per table, and more than a thousand people gathered together, and the scene was so lively that it could almost overturn the awning.

Gu Shuli looked at the lively scene in front of him. This was probably the scene that my father had been obsessing with?
Chapter completed!
