Chapter 84 Fish Feast
Recently, due to work reasons, Wang Yuanchao and Secretary Zeng have had more opportunities to interact with each other, and they have become very familiar with each other.
Wang Yuanchao casually took a match and lit a cigarette for Secretary Zeng. Then he sat opposite Secretary Zeng with a relaxed look on his face and said with a smile: "Secretary, I came here today to ask you about the statistician of the poultry breeding base."
Secretary Zeng raised his eyelids slightly and smiled meaningfully:
"Why, you got an idea?"
Wang Yuanchao did not try to play smart in front of Secretary Zeng, and said frankly: "Didn't Brother Hao ask me to take care of Sister Wang Hua when he went to the army? Sister Wang Hua is now raising three little girls by herself, the oldest is less than five years old, and life is not easy for her."
After hearing this, Secretary Zeng burst into laughter, and pointed at Wang Yuanchao with his fingers shaking.
"Hey, you are the only one who is loyal and righteous while alive, right? We, the cadres, should just stop doing our jobs."
"Hey, Secretary, I am recommending talents regardless of personal connections. This is also to recommend talents for our Red Flag Brigade."
Wang Yuanchao said with a shameless smile.
Secretary Zeng was too lazy to argue with Wang Yuanchao and said directly, "The statistician is out of the question. Widow Du's daughter Zhang Yuanyuan will take over. She is the orphan of a martyr and a junior high school graduate. The brigade must take care of her.
You can look at other jobs later."
Wang Yuanchao did not insist, and after thinking for a while, he said tentatively:
"Then let Sister Wang Hua cook the pig food?"
"Okay, Wang Hua is a good worker. She used to get full work points in the brigade. She is a good worker. If the division of the family had not had such a big impact, there would be no need for you to be a good person."
"Hey, Secretary, I am recommending talented people for the country so that we can better serve the people."
Secretary Zeng stared at Wang Yuanchao's rogue appearance with his eyes wide open, waved his hand unhappily, and said:
"You should leave quickly. If you leave, I can live two more days. As for Wang Hua, you should ask her to wait for the team's notice.
You kid, you don't learn good things, but learn bad things. Be careful, I will punish you one day."
"Hey, Secretary, I'm going to run away first. I'm going to tell Sister Wang Hua the good news."
"Nonsense, is that something you can say now? You better save your energy, or you will end up losing more than you gain. If everyone starts to make trouble, I won't be able to protect you."
Wang Yuanchao knew Secretary Zeng's concerns, so he turned serious and said:
"Secretary, don't worry. I've been keeping this in my mind until the official announcement is made. I won't tell anyone."
"Well, go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, Secretary, I'll get busy now. By the way, I caught a few big fish in Qingyu River yesterday.
I'll go get some wine later and call the captain and the others to come over to my place for a few drinks tonight, how about that?"
"Okay, you're a good cook, let's go to your place tonight to improve our meals."
"Hey, I caught two big black fish yesterday. I'll cook them for dinner tonight. Let's have pickled fish. The taste is so delicious that it will make your tongue fall off."
"Haha, I'll wait and see that night."
"Okay, Secretary, I'm leaving now. When you get off work, just come to my house. I won't come to pick you up."
"Okay, got it."
After leaving Secretary Zeng's office, Wang Yuanchao came to the village committee's large office with a grin on his face and invited Captain Liu, the team leader and Director Yang to join him.
When Wang Yuanchao returned home, he first picked up five kilograms of rice, cooked the rice, and then began to prepare dinner.
First, he took out two black fish weighing more than five kilograms from the space. After Wang Yuanchao separated the bones and meat with a knife, he chopped the fish bones, black fish head, and fish tail into several sections, cut the black fish meat into fish fillets, took out two handfuls of pickled cabbage from the jar, chopped them up, took out some millet peppers and cut them into rings, and cut a handful of chopped green onions and perilla leaves.
Then he took out a grass carp weighing more than three pounds from the space. After killing it, he cut it into pieces, marinated it with salt, cooking wine, ginger slices, and green onion knots, and then cut some chili rings, ginger shreds, and chili slices and prepared them.
He then took out a carp weighing more than two kilograms from the space, cut open the fish from the belly, made an incision on both sides of the carp's head and tail, pulled out the carp's tendons, and started to cook.
The first thing I started to cook was sauerkraut fish. I fry the fish head, tail and bones in oil until they turn yellow, then add ginger slices and stir-fry until fragrant. After pouring cold water into the pot, I put some soy sauce and salt, covered the pot and stewed the soup.
After the fish soup turns into a milky white color, pour in sauerkraut, millet pepper, add salt and MSG to adjust the taste, cover the pot, and wait for the black fish soup to be flavored, then add black fish slices and perilla leaves, cover the pot and continue to simmer for a while, then put the sauerkraut fish in an iron foot basin, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a pot of sauerkraut fish is ready.
Then Wang Yuanchao started to make braised carp, salt fish, and finally stir-fried water spinach.
While waiting for the rice to cook, heat the vegetables on the stove.
Wang Yuanchao began to move the eight-immortal table and long benches from the kitchen into the yard, took out the loose white wine he had bought earlier, and waited for Secretary Zeng and others to arrive.
Not long after, Secretary Zeng led the way into Wang Yuanchao's yard carrying a large bowl of peanuts. Captain Liu, carrying two bottles of Xifeng liquor, followed with a smile.
Director Yang followed behind with a bowl of kimchi, a little embarrassed. The team leader was the most generous and directly brought over a plastic jug of white wine. It seemed that he really planned to get drunk today.
After Wang Yuanchao saw several village cadres come in, he started to bring out dishes from the kitchen.
"Hey, leaders, you are here for dinner. Why do you bring so many things? Come on, leaders, please take a seat. I caught a lot of fish yesterday. Let's have a fish feast today.
This is pickled fish, let's try it first."
After Wang Yuanchao finished speaking, he went back into the kitchen and brought out the salted fish, braised carp, stir-fried water spinach, and rice. He then filled everyone's small bowls with wine and stood up and said, "Come on, leaders. I am so happy to see the brigade's poultry breeding base being built up little by little. I'd like to toast to the leaders with this glass of wine. They have worked hard recently. Come on, cheers."
"Haha, come on, cheers."
"You, Wang Zhiqing, must be the one who has worked the hardest lately. Come on, Wang Zhiqing, today I'd like to offer you a toast. Cheers."
"Hey, Director Yang, this is a toast to the leaders. It doesn't count. It doesn't count.
Come on, Director Yang, we need another drink."
"Haha, Wang Zhiqing is so generous. Come, I toast you. Cheers."
After a round of drinking, the atmosphere at the table became lively. After a few people ate a few bites of food to suppress the smell of alcohol, the team leader said: "Well, I am just craving for this dish made by Wang Zhiqing, it is really delicious."
