1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Anyway, although the food has not yet been eaten, Han Xiuying and Doudou are having a lot of fun.

Why do you care whether the corn cakes are big or small, round or long? Just ask if you are corn cakes, and that's it.

"Okay, I'll serve today's main course to the table, and we'll start eating." Chen Tiezhu greeted with a smile.

"Dad, is the braised meat fragrant?" Doudou asked hurriedly.

"It must be fragrant, and you'll know how fragrant it is when Dad finishes pouring it." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Doudou nodded his little head and followed him outside.

The most concerned thing is the meat in the jar, and everything else is secondary. Playing is playing, but not eating meat is not okay.

Picking up the rag and wrapping it, Chen Tiezhu picked up the whole jar.

After bringing it into the house, Han Xiuying also helped to remove the lid on the jar.

It doesn't matter if you take it, the whole house is filled with fragrance.

Not to mention the people waiting to eat, even Da Huang, who was enjoying bean cakes and cabbage soup with corn cakes, raised his head and looked at the table.

"This smell is really good. I can eat a bowl of rice just by smelling it." Er Ye said with emotion.

"It's also because it's been stewed for a long time, otherwise it wouldn't be so fragrant. Lean back to avoid getting greasy."

Chen Tiezhu said, and poured all the meat in the jar into the empty basin on the table.

The greasy stewed meat lay in the basin.

The red one is lean meat, and the fibers on it can be clearly seen. The light yellow one is fat meat, which has become small pieces due to the stewing cooking method and hangs on the lean meat.

The smell of meat kept drilling in and out of the nostrils, making people's gluttons come up.

Xiao Doudou looked at the stewed meat and smelled the meat aroma, and drooled a little. This is normal.

But today, this pot of braised meat can make all the people sitting around the table start to drool.

Han Xiuying looked at Chen Tiezhu a little embarrassedly, and found that he didn't seem to care about her, so she was relieved.

"My little ancestor, don't eat it yet."

Seeing Doudou holding out his chopsticks to pick up the braised meat and trying to put it in his mouth, Chen Tiezhu hurriedly shouted.

Hearing that he didn't let her eat the meat, Doudou's little face wrinkled and her little mouth flattened.

She had been looking forward to it for an afternoon, but her father didn't let her eat it.

"My eldest daughter, this meat is hot, blow it well before eating." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

This is also the point that you need to pay attention to when eating braised meat. If it doesn't look as hot as stewed bean cakes, you think it is not hot.

That's a big mistake, it's all sealed with oil. With the way Doudou just ate it, he would definitely get blisters in his mouth after taking a bite.

With Chen Tiezhu's reminder, the little guy blew on it before putting it in his mouth.

But even so, the little guy's mouth was too hot to close. After several efforts, he finally swallowed the braised meat whole.

Smacking, smacking lips, what is that taste?

How could I forget it?

"You are just like Zhu Bajie." Han Xiuying said helplessly, and picked up the spoon and scooped a small bowl of braised meat for Doudou.

"Okay, everyone, please greet them. There are no outsiders, so there is no need to be polite. Especially Xiao Wang and Xiao Guo, if you two pretend, I will send you back to the provincial capital." Chen Tiezhu greeted.

Professor Xu's two assistants, Wang Qiang and Guo Tianye, smiled embarrassedly. They had just arrived and had not adapted to the environment in the past two days.

This time everyone really started to use chopsticks, each of them picked up a piece and tasted it carefully.

Soft, tender, salty, refreshing, smooth and fragrant, this is the feeling everyone gets after eating braised meat.

You don’t even need to chew it, the fibers of lean meat can be pushed apart even with your tongue.

The salty taste, the seasoning taste, and the meaty aroma burst directly on the taste buds of your tongue.

When you swallow it, the fragrant feeling is a bit overwhelming.

In Doudou’s words, it swirls in the throat.

At the whole dinner table, to be honest, only Han Xiuying and her brother had a better life, and the food standards in the past were higher.

The rest of the people, even Professor Xu and Li Yinglin, have never eaten braised meat like this.

“Hey…, braised meat is really fragrant. How long have I not eaten it? It seems to be the year when the production team was just disbanded? I only braised one pound during the Chinese New Year.” He Jianguo said with emotion.

“How can the past be compared with now.” Chen Tiezhu said.

"At that time, there were only two pigs in the team. How much meat could each family get? Forget about buying meat outside. There were no meat coupons. What could we buy?"

"Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future. When we want to eat braised meat, we can just buy it and braise it. I have to have a piece of corn cake. I'm really craving it."

"Only you can make a lot of braised meat here,Who else would dare to eat like this? "Li Yinglin said with a smile.

"This is where I think differently from others. We have to eat anyway, so we have to eat to our heart's content. At most, we can eat less. Yingzi, is that right?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"Whatever you say is true. With that mouth, even the dead can be resurrected." Han Xiuying complained.

Listening to Han Xiuying's evaluation, everyone laughed.

"Tiezhu is a good person." Professor Xu expressed his own opinion.

"Old Xu, you are giving too much. I am worried that I can't afford it." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"I can afford it, I can afford it." Professor Xu said.

"Let's put the food money for the three of us directly into your house. We can't always eat the food you cook for free. Although it's not much, it's also a token of my appreciation."

"Okay, I won't argue with you. Just treat our Erdaoling as your home, and we still have to work hard. "Chen Tiezhu smiled and nodded.

If we follow their food standards and the way his family eats, I'm afraid it will be eaten up in less than half a month. In the second half of the month, we will definitely starve.

This is not about money, it's a matter of attitude.

"My daughter, don't just eat the braised meat. If you eat too much, you won't want to eat any meat in the future." Chen Tiezhu looked at his daughter who was eating voraciously and reminded her.

Doudou took a small corn cake that he had made with a little reluctance and took a bite. He raised his eyebrows and took another bite.

Although the taste is a bit rough, the paste underneath is really delicious.

"Drink another mouthful of bean cake soup to avoid being dry. "Chen Tiezhu persuaded again.

The little guy took a bite.

This taste is also very good, and it seems to have some aroma of soy milk.

After chatting, the fine tradition of Chen Tiezhu's family eating was reflected again.

Just eat it.

The fragrant braised meat, corn cakes with the aroma of corn, and the light and refreshing cabbage stewed with bean cakes, today's meal is really enjoyable.

The braised meat is really fragrant, but it will be greasy if you eat too much.

But with corn cakes and cabbage stewed with bean cakes to help?

This is not greasy.

"Tiezhu, what are you going to do about renting the land?" Li Yinglin asked.

"Hehe, Liu Dayou will probably come to deliver pig manure to me tomorrow, and it will be solved tomorrow." Chen Tiezhu grinned.

Han Xiuying was a little worried. With Liu Dayou, this matter would be difficult to handle.

If it doesn't work, I won't go to work tomorrow. I have to keep an eye on him.
