1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Dad, why do you think my arms are a little weak?"

On the way home, Doudou asked in confusion.

"It's strange that they are strong. I've been knocking all afternoon. I see that your arms will be sore tomorrow, and you will have trouble eating. What should I do?" Han Xiuying said, rubbing her shoulders by the way.

She didn't have an easy afternoon. Is it so easy to pull the bellows?

Doudou frowned and was a little worried.

Other things are easy to deal with, but not being able to eat is not a good thing.

"It's okay, Dad will give you a massage tonight, relax you well, and you will be Doudou full of energy tomorrow." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah, Doudou is very strong." The little guy nodded happily.

"You, you don't do anything serious every day, just eat, drink and have fun." Han Xiuying glanced at Chen Tiezhu and said.

"I work." Chen Tiezhu said seriously.

"Haven't you heard? If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Kitchen utensils are my weapons. Without the right weapons, how can I make delicious meals for you and Doudou?"

"Aren't you just thinking about food and drink? You've fired all the cannons. When the time comes, many people will want to support mushroom cultivation. What will you do?" Han Xiuying counterattacked.

"Well..., this, we can take it slowly. After all, what if I really grow it? At that time, providing them with culture medium and strains can also be considered as support." Chen Tiezhu said with a guilty conscience.

"Hehe"

Han Xiuying snorted twice.

"Hehe"

Doudou thought it was fun and followed suit.

"Oh, you want to rebel, let dad kiss you." Chen Tiezhu said, and used his unshaven chin to poke Doudou.

"Hahaha, it's itchy. Dad kiss sister Yingzi, dad kiss sister Yingzi..."

Doudou's little body was tossing and his little mouth was shouting.

Chen Tiezhu sighed in his heart, this is a good girl, the most powerful little cotton-padded jacket on the earth.

He just glanced at Han Xiuying, and then hurriedly looked forward.

That cold little look, dare not provoke.

"It's all you who taught me, you taught Doudou badly." Han Xiuying pinched him.

"How could I, I am more wronged than Dou E." Chen Tiezhu said with a bitter face.

"You still say?" Han Xiuying glared at him again.

"Hehe, you have the final say. In fact, I also left some small fish, and then fried it with sauce in the evening. And steamed a bowl of egg paste, I have eaten too much meat these days, so I eat some vegetarian food." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Eh? Why didn't I see you secretly leave it?" Han Xiuying asked in surprise.

I didn't even notice that I am now on par with Doudou, and I will go off track when I hear about food.

"Hehe, this is the instinct of a cook. A cook who doesn't leave vegetables is not a good cook." Chen Tiezhu said proudly.

"Virtue, then cook sorghum rice porridge. Don't forget to turn the culture medium when you go back, growing mushrooms is the most important thing." Han Xiuying said.

"It's necessary. I will get up and turn it once at night." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

In fact, the culture medium is not just the pile in the fermentation tank, but also in his space.

He just wanted to see if the effect will be different in the future.

"Teacher Chen, Uncle Jianguo has brought the mustard cabbage."

Fang Zhiyong, who was in charge of watching the house just after returning home, said.

"Hehe, it's really good, there will be delicious food in the evening."

Chen Tiezhu was so happy that he was busy forging iron and forgot about this matter.

"Isn't it just mustard cabbage? Why are you so greedy?" Han Xiuying said.

"Life was poor in the past, and eating mustard cabbage was a good meal. I'll go take a look first." Chen Tiezhu said and ran over happily.

Uncle Jianguo was really satisfied with what he heard, and he really took a lot of boiled, unboiled, salted mustard cabbage, and raw mustard cabbage.

"Yingzi, let's make spicy dishes tonight. It will be amazing when we eat it tomorrow morning." Chen Tiezhu said with emotion.

"What spicy dishes? Mustard cabbage with chili?" Han Xiuying asked curiously.

The dishes that Chen Tiezhu cares about so much must be amazing.

"Uh..., you haven't eaten it?" Chen Tiezhu asked in surprise.

Han Xiuying shook her head, "Tell me what it is?"

"It's made with these mustard cabbage, and then shredded with radish, the taste is amazing." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Be good, don't rush. After I finish making dinner, we'll make spicy dishes. It takes some time to hold it in, just right for tomorrow morning."

Han Xiuying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, was she treating her like a doudou?

Today's dinner was still easy to prepare. Cook sorghum rice porridge in one pot and fry fish paste in the other.

Calculate the time, and then steam a bowl of egg paste, and it's all ready.Live it.

Chen Tiezhu had time to start cleaning the spicy vegetables.

Wash the raw mustard greens carefully, cut them into pieces, and put them directly into the pot to cook.

"Is that it? Isn't it still boiled mustard greens?" Han Xiuying asked curiously.

"This is just the beginning. Holding back the spicy smell is the soul." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Then he picked out a good-looking carrot, washed it, and cut it into strips.

At this time, the mustard greens in the pot were also boiled, so he put them all into a basin. When putting them in, he also mixed the cut radish into it.

After everything was done, he shook the basin.

"Is that it? Then I'll rinse the mustard greens in the pot, just in time to boil some water for washing my face and feet." Han Xiuying said casually.

"Yingzi, this pot of mustard greens water is also the soul." Chen Tiezhu said hurriedly.

"When it's cooler, we'll pour it into this pot, and then we'll really stew it. If it's too hot, I always feel that the shredded radish will be softened, and the spicy dish won't be spicy enough."

"Why is it okay to just put shredded radish?" Han Xiuying asked curiously.

"Uh..., I really don't know about this, anyway, I've been doing it this way since I was a child." Chen Tiezhu said with a bitter face.

He really couldn't understand this, maybe there was some chemical reaction, and it seemed that no one was studying this.

Han Xiuying looked at him with amusement, and poured the water from the pot into the pot. After cleaning the pot, she warmed up another pot of water.

"Okay, let's start cooking."

Chen Tiezhu greeted.

Compared with the meals of the past two days, today's meals are indeed a bit vegetarian.

But even if they are a bit vegetarian, they have aroused their appetite.

The deliciousness of the mixed fish sauce is really not bragging.

No matter what you eat with pickles, it is always the best.

Steamed egg paste with space water is also smooth and tasty.

After careful tasting, there is a little bit of egg smell, but it is not annoying.

This makes Han Xiuying very depressed. She also steamed it, but it is obviously not on the same level as this bowl.

After eating again, the ditch was full and after Chen Tiezhu cleaned up, the little Doudou who was eating obediently lay on the kang.

"What are you doing?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Pressing my arm, my arm hurts."

Doudou said seriously.

Chen Tiezhu was happy and could bully the little guy happily again.
