In the kitchen, everyone was watching Ye Liuqing and watching how he made delicious food with a bundle of straw.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Liuqing cleaned the straw very calmly.
If you want the pork to taste good, you have to put the skin down and rub it back and forth in a hot pan until the skin turns golden brown.
Use a small knife to scrape the skin clean, add water, a little cooking wine, green onion slices, and ginger slices. After the water boils, take it out and remove the blood.
The piece of pork belly that Master Zhu selected for Ye Liuqing was very good, with alternating fat and lean meat.
It looks pretty good.
Ye Liuqing cut the pork belly into small square pieces, and then tied them into a cross shape with straw.
If you want Dongpo pork to be delicious, the key is to simmer it with rice wine without adding a drop of water or oil.
Ye Liuqing found a casserole from under the cupboard.
Spread the chopped green onions and ginger slices on the bottom of the casserole. After laying several layers thick enough, Ye Liuqing placed the pork belly skin-side down in the casserole.
Strictly speaking, it is really not advisable to add a drop of water to Dongpo pork, as it is all stewed with rice wine.
But where does the rice wine come from in Yejia Village?
The liquor sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives is all bulk liquor, which is very strong.
Ye Liuqing had no choice but to adjust his approach.
I added some water to the wine to lower the concentration, so it can be used barely.
Make sure the wine covers the pork belly, then pour in soy sauce and sugar, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.
Just turn the Dongpo pork over halfway through.
The pork at this time is purely natural and is grown by eating grains, without any feed or anything else.
It tastes good without adding any seasoning.
Along with the gurgling sound, a huge aroma filled the entire kitchen.
At the exclusive fire-making position, Ye Jianjun sat upright, his eyes fixed on the small casserole.
If Ye Jianjun hadn't eaten a lot of meat recently, his saliva would have been dripping.
This meat is so delicious.
There is also the aroma of braised pig's head in the big iron pot, which is also very fragrant.
In the evening, everyone sat around the table in a circle.
Good dishes go well with good wine.
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Accountant, and Uncle Captains, thanks to your help, everything in Yejia Village has been able to proceed so smoothly during this period."
"I will now offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Ye Liuqing stood up, holding a teacup, and saluted Ye Guozhu, Ye Hongwei and the three captains one by one.
"Qing girl, what are you talking about?"
Ye Guozhu held the wine glass.
"If I have to say thank you, it should be me who thanks you."
"Thank you for making Yejia Village so good now."
Ye Guozhu's words were recognized by Ye Hongwei.
"That's right, the village chief is right, Qing girl, Ye Village has to thank you."
"Because of you, many things that we in Yejia Village couldn't even imagine before have now become reality."
Ye Changchun nodded and said, "I never dreamed that our village could make so much money."
Ye Changlin was very emotional, "I never dreamed that the muddy road in our Yejia Village could be repaired into a good road in my lifetime."
Ye Donggui held the cup in his hand with a happy look on his face.
"I can't even imagine having a job, food to eat, education for my children, and a secure future for the rest of my life."
The present day is something no one could have imagined.
Ye Liuqing raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"The days ahead will get better and better."
"Yes, Qing girl is right. Our Ye Village will get better and better in the future."
Village chief Ye Guozhu, accountant Ye Hongwei, and three team leaders all drank the wine in their glasses.
This meal lasted until late at night.
…
A few days later, the telephone in the village was finally installed.
The phone was connected to a room in the ancestral hall.
That room is now the office of all the cadres of Yejia Village.
In the past, if there was anything, we just had to go to the village chief’s house and talk.
But now, it’s no longer possible.
There are more and more things happening in Yejia Village, so we need an office.
Many people in the village have never seen what a telephone looks like.
They all crowded at the office door, peeking into the office curiously.
The crowd of people almost blocked the gate of the ancestral hall.
"Can this black box really hear sounds?"
"My goodness, isn't that the same as that old immortal?"
"It's even more magical than the old immortal. He can hear us talking over there."
Ye Guozhu stood outside the ancestral hall, looking at the crowd of villagers, his forehead twitching.
"What are you doing?"
When the villagers saw the village chief coming, they consciously made way for him.
"Village chief, you are here."
"Village Chief, can I call my baby?"
"Village Chief, my baby is calling me, can I really hear him?"
Ye Guozhu looked at the villagers.
“You have to pay to make a phone call.”
"Our village has a telephone. If there's an emergency, everyone can use it, but you have to pay."
Ye Guozhu said it first.
This was something Ye Liuqing had discussed with Ye Guozhu and others long ago.
The telephone is public property of the village.
If one person makes a phone call and another makes a phone call, the village cannot afford to pay for the high phone bills.
Even if Ye Guozhu calls, he has to pay.
Ye Liuqing also had to pay when he called to discuss village business, and the money he paid would be reimbursed later.
Some villagers who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation gave up the idea of making calls when they heard that they had to pay for making calls.
When Ye Guozhu saw that the villagers stopped clamoring for phone calls, he finally felt relieved.
Ye Liuqing followed behind Ye Guozhu with a faint smile on his lips.
After the two entered the office, Ye Liuqing took out the small notebook he carried with him, picked up the phone and started dialing.
Now that Yejia Village has a phone, they must quickly contact Director Ji of the steel plant, Auntie at the textile factory, and Li Gang and tell them about this matter.
The first number Ye Liuqing dialed was Director Ji of the steel plant.
"Director Ji, I'm Xiao Ye from Yejia Village! Thanks to you, we have a telephone installed in Yejia Village, so it will be convenient for us to contact each other in the future."
Director Ji's happy voice came from the other end of the phone, "What a great relationship! You don't know that the preserved fruit gift box you sent to our steel plant last time was very popular with our factory leaders."
"Director Ji, as long as you and the leaders of the steel plant like it, I'm glad. If our Yejia Village has a better product in the future, we will definitely inform you as soon as possible."
"Then it's settled!"
