Chapter 197 Good news from heaven

Afternoon.

There were more than a dozen dishes on the long dining table in Deng Shirong's house. The most eye-catching ones were the four plates of delicious wild rabbit meat lined up in a row. If someone from Sichuan Province saw it, they would probably recognize the name of the dish at a glance.

However, except for Deng Shirong, everyone else present was seeing this dish for the first time and naturally could not recognize it.

After everyone was at the table, Deng Yunzhen looked at the plates of hare meat and said, "Dad, you should cook the hare later. Make this as the first dish. It's cold now. How about I heat it up?"

"No need to heat it up. This is the most representative dish to go with wine in Zigong, Sichuan. It's called cold rabbit."

Deng Shirong picked up the chopsticks and explained with a smile: "You should know from the name of this dish that the rabbit meat cooked in this way should be eaten cold. It tastes even better when it's cold than when it's hot. You'll know when you try it."

Everyone exclaimed in amazement when they heard it. They didn't expect that Sichuan had such a unique dish.

Then, everyone reached out their chopsticks and took something from the four plates of cold rabbit.

Deng Shirong also took a piece and tasted it. He felt that it tasted even better than he remembered. Perhaps it was because the meat of wild rabbits was better than that of domestic rabbits! "Wow, this tastes amazing!"

“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious!”

"It tastes really fresh and delicious, and it's not mushy at all. It's worthy of being a famous Sichuan dish!"

“…”

The children ate and praised the dish, and this classic dish conquered them instantly.

Chen Bangguo also praised the dish highly. While eating, he said with emotion: "My mom is really self-aware. When my dad brought the rabbit back this morning, she said it would be a waste to cook it at home. Fortunately, she didn't insist on being stubborn. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that rabbit could be cooked so deliciously."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I have reserved two plates. You can take them back tomorrow for your parents to taste."

Chen Bangguo did not refuse and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will bring it back to them tomorrow and let them learn more about it."

Zhang Xiuping's heart moved, and she said, "Dad, if our restaurant launches this dish, do you think it will be very popular?"

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "Your idea is very good, you can try it later, but most of us Bobai people can't eat spicy food, and chili peppers can be said to be one of the souls of this dish, and they are absolutely indispensable. Therefore, this dish can only become a niche specialty in Bobai, and it will not be popular with the public. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a niche restaurant. A little bit of it will add up to a lot. As long as our restaurant can offer more food that other restaurants don't have, then compared to other restaurants, our restaurant will definitely have an advantage."

Deng Shirong said: "You can try this slowly when the time comes."

Hearing the conversation between his uncle and his cousin, Chen Bangguo couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what's the matter with the restaurant you're talking about?"

"Even if you don't come today, I will tell you when your family comes over during the Spring Festival."

Deng Shirong took a sip of wine and said, "I plan to open a restaurant in the county after the Chinese New Year and let your cousin and his wife manage it. We will need to recruit a lot of people to help. If you two brothers and sisters, as well as your third uncle's sister, are willing to work in the county, I will reserve a position for you."

Chen Bangguo's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. It is extremely difficult for rural people in this era to find a job. Take them as the three brothers and sisters. Apart from staying at home to help with the work, they can only go to the mountains to cut reeds and other things to earn pocket money.

But this kind of thing is too cheap, and the pocket money he can earn is very limited. He is a young man who is about to turn 20 years old, but he has always been very tight on money. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't want to change this kind of life.

Now, his uncle has offered him a job in the county town, which is a blessing from heaven.

Immediately, Chen Bangguo said excitedly: "Uncle, of course we are willing to go. I have never been to the county town since I was a child. If I can work in the county town, the young people in the village will be envious of me!"

Deng Shirong understood his excitement. Rural people of that era would only go to the county town if their commune was not far from the county town. If it was a remote mountainous area like Shuangwang, which was 76 kilometers away from the county town, then apart from the cadres of the brigade and production team, few people had ever been to the county town.

Being able to work in a county town, no matter what you do, will make people envy you.

"Okay, as long as you're willing. Tell your two sisters later. If they're both willing, I'll reserve a seat for both of you when the restaurant opens."

Chen Bangguo said quickly: "Uncle, I don't even need to go back and ask, I can give you an answer now. They must be very eager to have such a good opportunity to work in the county."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "You still have to go back and ask, because working in a restaurant is also quite hard. You have to help wash vegetables, wash dishes, wash chopsticks, clean up, etc. It is very tiring at the end of the day."

Chen Bangguo raised his glass and clinked it with his uncle, then said with a smile, "Uncle, don't worry. These jobs are not hard at all for me and my sister."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is really true. Rural people of this era, both men and women, have been used to working since childhood. They have to carry the seedlings when planting rice, carry the rice when harvesting rice, carry the rice when drying rice, go up the mountain to chop firewood and bring it back to burn, and carry water every day...

Compared to these jobs, it’s just washing things, what’s so hard about it?

Deng Shirong was just talking. He didn't think washing things was hard for people of this era. Seeing this, he nodded and said, "Anyway, just keep it in mind. When you get to the county, do your job well. I'll find you a partner then."

Chen Bangguo took a sip of wine, patted his chest and promised: "Uncle, I will do my best."

Deng Shirong nodded and asked his nephew and his deceased wife's nephews and nieces from her mother's side to go to the county town to help with work. This was something he had planned a long time ago. On the one hand, it could help a group of relatives, and on the other hand, it was also for the safety of his eldest son and daughter-in-law.

If he just lets his eldest son and daughter-in-law do business in Bobai, given his eldest daughter-in-law's appearance, she might get into some trouble.

Now if we get a few more relatives to help, the safety factor will naturally be higher with more people. Also, let my son, daughter-in-law and relatives stay at home at night as much as possible. Harmony is the most important thing in everything, and there shouldn't be any accidents.

Of course, Deng Shirong also had to ask Uncle Zhang and Captain Zhou to look after his eldest son and others, and try to ensure that nothing went wrong.
