1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"My dear daughter, what's wrong?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Hmm..., Hmm..., Hmm..., delicious, not the same taste as the small shrimp." Doudou blinked her big eyes and gave the answer.

The question and answer between the father and daughter also made Han Xiuying give up thinking. She picked up the shrimp body, put down the shrimp head, and took a sip.

The shrimp juice remaining in the shrimp head was so fresh, sweet, and delicious.

To be honest, she was not someone who had not eaten big shrimps before. But she felt that the big shrimp today was not the same taste as before.

And Doudou, who was shaking his head and trying to bite the shrimp shell, also discovered something new. It turns out that this shrimp can also pull its head off?

With a little force from his little hand, the shrimp head was broken off by Doudou, and his big eyes narrowed with joy.

There was still a lot of soup remaining in the shrimp head, this thing was delicious.

The little mouth leaned over and took a deep sip, and happiness was written all over his big eyes.

"Dad, it's delicious." Doudou said, and then stretched out his little tongue and licked the remaining soup in the shrimp shell happily.

It was also because the little guy was too involved, and his nose was rubbed.

Han Xiuying stuck out her tongue next to her, wondering why she was so greedy. She quickly took the shrimp body from Doudou's hand and peeled off the outer shrimp shell.

Doudou happily took a big bite of the finger-thick shrimp meat, and then chewed it even more happily.

This thing is really delicious, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is. That sweetness is not the sweetness of sugar, but a special sweetness that can be sucked out.

"Is it time to eat? Why are there so few people today?"

At this time, Grandpa Han and the second master also rushed over in the wind and snow.

"The braised hairtail in the pot is ready, let's have dinner, everyone go home to eat. The snow is getting heavier, and I don't know when it will stop." Chen Tiezhu greeted with a smile.

"Wow, today's dish is good, with big shrimps. It looks delicious, Doudou is licking her lips and tongue while eating." Grandpa Han said with a smile, and glanced at his eldest granddaughter.

Han Xiuying was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and wiped her mouth quickly, and glared at the innocent Chen Tiezhu.

Grandpa misunderstood, she is not as greedy as a child.

"Okay, the braised hairtail is out of the pot, and it's time to eat." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It's time to eat..."

Doudou shouted happily.

But her big eyes were staring at the big shrimps.

Seeing Doudou's greedy look, Chen Tiezhu was very happy. Making delicious food for his daughter is also his greatest pleasure.

Today's meal is a bit simple, but it is absolutely luxurious.

After all, it is really difficult to eat seafood in this small mountain village, otherwise Chen Tiezhu would not skimp on the three kinds of small yellow croaker, large shrimp and hairtail.

There are some in the county's farmers' market, but the quality is not very good.

After the meal, Doudou didn't even look at the hairtail, and directly picked up a large shrimp and ate it happily.

In her world, she is obsessed with eating meat. She thinks that no matter how delicious other things are, they are not as good as meat.

I have eaten small yellow croaker, but it doesn't smell like meat.

I have eaten small river shrimp, but it doesn't smell like meat.

I have eaten big black fish sticks, but it still doesn't smell like meat.

But today's large shrimp definitely helped Doudou open a window and a door in the food world. It turns out that shrimp meat can be so delicious.

After eating two prawns, the little girl finally looked at the hairtail meat that Han Xiuying had put in her bowl.

"Eh? Dad, why does it taste like this?" Doudou asked in confusion after taking a small bite.

"What else can it taste like?" Chen Tiezhu said to the little girl.

"Hmm..., hmm..., delicious, different from other fish meat." Doudou blinked his big eyes.

"Hahahaha, this is different fish, naturally have different tastes. After eating river fish, eating sea fish will naturally taste different." Chen Tiezhu was happy.

"When we come back, Dad will help you pick other fish, and we will taste them. The freshness of seafood is different from the freshness of river fish and the fragrance of pork."

"Yeah, let's go for the whole fish."

Doudou nodded his head seriously and then started to cook.

"Indeed, the level of these two dishes today is really good." Grandpa Han also sighed.

"Grandpa, well, I called Uncle Hu a few days ago and asked him to buy some mackerel." Han Xiuying said carefully.

"What's the matter? Do you want to eat mackerel?" Grandpa Han asked with a smile.

"It's not that I want to eat it, I just want to share it with the people in our town, basically two kilograms per family."Hey, is this the first fire going to be lit?" Chen Tiezhu asked cheerfully.

Han Xiuying glared at him, "Whether it is burned or not is secondary. Haven't I been conducting research in various villages recently? In fact, there are many families with difficult lives in each village."

"Take Zhang Yuanmin's family in our village for example. Their family is the most difficult in our village now. But in other villages, there are families with more difficulties than theirs."

"From what I have learned, it is mainly because there are many children in the family and relatively few laborers. I have made a statistics of such families, and they don't charge for fish."

"Anyway, it is frozen now. Even if there are no other dishes during the Chinese New Year, we can still eat fish. In fact, sometimes when I think about the poverty of those families and think about how much we eat and drink every day, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"You have such feelings, which proves that your work during this period has been fruitful. "Mr. Han nodded with satisfaction.

"At present, our country has a large population, but relatively few means of production and materials. So the country has also introduced corresponding policies to make further adjustments, and slowly there will be effects."

"But in essence, it is you, the leading cadres working in the local areas, who have to find ways to find a way for everyone to get rich and live a good life."

"Tiezhu is now taking this path. His mushroom planting project is not a pilot project because of Xiao Li's favor, but because the project itself has a certain feasibility."

Chen Tiezhu grinned. Only Mr. Han can call him "Xiao Li".

When chatting with Gao Xiaoguang, Gao Xiaoguang also revealed some of this matter, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

On the contrary, some of the policies currently being implemented can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

"What's the matter, what do you want to say?" Mr. Han asked curiously.

"Uh..., there's nothing to say. "Chen Tiezhu started to play dumb.

"Nonsense, tell me." Old Man Han glared at him.

"Hey, let me tell you. I think some policies are one-size-fits-all now, and they are not so safe. For example, the issue of having a baby."

Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Han Xiuying was dumbfounded and winked at him fiercely.

This guy is going crazy.
