1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

The steamed bighead carp head was very big and filled on the plate.

The white scallion shreds, yellow ginger shreds, and red dried chili segments on top were shiny after being drizzled with oil.

The bighead carp body was stewed in an iron pot, and the color was bright red.

The dried vegetables and tofu inside accompanied the fish meat segments, and occasionally there were the winding vermicelli, which looked very appetizing.

A plate of meat skin jelly cut into dice pieces, with the prepared garlic vinegar sauce on the side, this is a good side dish.

There was also a bowl of meat sauce, a large pot of pickled vegetables with scallions and green radish pieces.

This was all for dinner tonight.

Dahuang and dog leftovers Chen Tiezhu also prepared some extra, but Dahuang just lay quietly on the side. Even though his mouth was already drooling, he didn't eat.

"Second Master, why doesn't Dahuang eat? Is the rice I and I had too salty?" Chen Tiezhu asked curiously.

"Da Huang never opens his mouth for food given by others." Er Ye said with a little pride.

"Da Huang, this is our home from now on, so we should eat what we are given. Remember people, we are all family from now on."

Listening to his words, Da Huang stood up, looked up, and then went to the food bowl and ate voraciously.

In fact, he was really greedy just now. His sense of smell was so sharp that he had already smelled the fragrance of space water.

"Okay, they have started cooking, let's eat first. When we are almost done, I will make another bowl of egg soup, which is more fragrant when it is hot." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Zhuzi's cooking skills are really amazing. What do you think I will do if I get greedy in the future?" He Jianguo praised.

"Isn't that too simple? Come to my house if you want to eat. It happens that there are people to drink with me, so the food will be fragrant." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile and started to pour wine.

"Let me try a bite of the fish head first. This method is not common here. Most people stew it." Erye nodded.

Erye was a little absent-minded when the fish entered his mouth.

"Second Grandpa, is it delicious?" Doudou, who was watching from the side, asked curiously.

"It's delicious. The fish head is very smooth and tender after being steamed like this." Erye nodded.

"I have eaten steamed fish before, but it didn't have this smell. This fish head doesn't taste fishy at all, and it has a strong onion flavor. It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort."

"If you like this, eat more. Steamed fish can only be finished in one meal. If you want to eat it again at the next meal, it will not taste the same." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

After that, he first picked up some of each for his daughter and put it in a small bowl. Then he picked up a piece of pork skin jelly, rolled it in garlic vinegar sauce, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

If you want to say how fragrant this thing can be, it is actually not. But the chewy and chewy texture, paired with garlic vinegar, tastes very good.

"Tiezhu, why do you put pork in the stewed fish? Isn't this cheap?" He Jianguo picked up a piece of pork and asked curiously.

"This thing is actually for flavor enhancement, taste the fish. After adding the pork belly, the soup has the aroma of meat oil, which is even more fragrant with the fish." Chen Tiezhu said.

After hearing his words, Doudou, who was holding chopsticks and was a little entangled about what to eat first, made a choice and directly picked up a large piece of stewed fish and stuffed it into his mouth.

A full mouthful of firm fish meat and salty and fragrant taste, the little guy ate it so beautifully.

He Jianguo also tasted it and nodded, "It's amazing, it's amazing. We have stewed fish at home. After adding pork, it is really delicious."

"In fact, this is also the interesting part of our dishes. The same ingredients, different combinations, and different cooking methods will have different flavors." Chen Tiezhu said.

"For example, our pickled vegetables, whether you use meat sauce or egg sauce, the taste is also different. Anyway, it tastes good no matter how you eat it, just make whatever sauce you like."

"I haven't met you before, but now I see that you are very knowledgeable." Second Master took a sip of wine.

"This fish is in your hands, and you have played with it in many ways, and even made two ways to eat it. This pork skin jelly is also well cooked, with a light color and chewy texture."

"How confident are you about growing mushrooms? I haven't experienced such a thing, but I always feel that it's a bit suspenseful."

"Second Grandpa, if it's 100%, no one dares to say it." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"But I estimate that there is still 60 to 70 percent chance. We just listen to the people from the Agricultural Science Academy and do what they ask us to do. I guess it won't make any difference."

"Tomorrow I will dig a cellar. Building a mushroom house this way is better than building a house directly. If we try this hard and succeed, Doudou and I will be able to enjoy it in the future."

"I have to say one more thing here,Now that I have the bow, you have seen my archery skills. We must go together when we go into the mountains. I am worried about you being alone. "

"You are so petty. You have to control me if I say anything to you." The second master was happy.

"Don't worry, there is no rush. Today, I really have to eat more. The dish you cooked tastes so good. Even if I go to a banquet, I can't taste such good food."

"Then let's eat happily. My eldest daughter, do you want to get some tofu and vermicelli? Dried gourd is also very delicious." Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Dad, get some. "Doudou nodded her head.

The empty bowl was filled up again by Chen Tiezhu.

But the little girl was not in a hurry to eat the food in the bowl. Instead, she stretched out her chopsticks and picked up another piece of fish head meat.

She liked this steamed fish head. After pouring oil on it, the fish meat was still so tender and delicious.

After eating this mouthful of fish head meat, the little girl stood up again and rolled a chopstick of vermicelli in the basin.

It was still the traditional Dou-style eating method, raising it as high as possible and then putting it into her little mouth.

It was full of the delicious soup, the meaty taste, and a full mouthful. It was really more fragrant the more you chewed.

But after eating, Doudou frowned again.

"Doudou, what's wrong? Why don't you eat it?" He Jianguo asked curiously.

"Grandpa Jianguo, everything tastes good. I don't know what to eat anymore." "Doudou said with a bitter face.

"Okay, I'll just make you one dish next time, so you don't have to worry so much." Chen Tiezhu said.

"No, make two dishes and eat them alternately." Doudou said, picked up the chopsticks, and then worked hard.

The cute little look made Erye very fond of him, and he dragged the dish bowl to Doudou.

In fact, he was really happy in his heart, not only because of the fragrance of the food, but also because he felt at home when eating here.

He was just an old man, even if there was a wedding or funeral in the village, everyone would eat together, it was just a social event to join in the fun.

In Chen Tiezhu's house, neither Chen Tiezhu nor Doudou cared about him. But it was this casualness that made him eat very comfortably.

Naturally, there were many more smiles on his face.

At the same time, he made a very important decision in his heart.
