1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"This guy, how come he is so beautiful?"

Grandpa Han, who had just returned home and was waiting here, asked with a smile.

"Grandpa Han, Doudou caught a lot of small fish and shrimps, as well as crucian carp shells and the black fish sticks that he couldn't get over." Doudou shouted crisply.

"I showed off all the way when I entered the village. I followed Brother Zhou and Sister Dandan to divide the fish, and Dad prepared the beggar chicken." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah, Doudou prepared the small fish, and Dad prepared the beggar chicken."

The little guy nodded happily.

Lu Dan was also very happy, after all, this job was also very fun.

As for the job of catching black fish sticks, it was handed over to Zhou Fengxia. This thing is slippery and not easy to catch.

"This guy, he caught a lot." Second Master also praised.

"Second Grandpa, the small fish is soy sauce." Doudou said happily.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..."

At this time, the chickens at home came over and looked at the small fish in the basin, their eyes also lit up.

"Do you want to eat?" Doudou asked curiously.

"Doudou, you can feed them some, there are so many anyway." Grandpa Han said with a smile.

"Yeah."

The little guy responded and picked up a small fish and put it to the mouth of a chicken.

With a light bite and a raised neck, the small fish was swallowed by it.

Doudou's big eyes blinked.

I have seen chickens eat before, and the small fish is also quite fat. How did it get in so quickly?

The little guy didn't understand it, so he picked up another small fish and put it to the mouth of another chicken.

Just like the situation just now, the small fish was swallowed easily.

Doudou was addicted to playing, and his two little hands kept catching small fish and feeding chickens.

In fact, the chickens in Chen Tiezhu's family are very happy. They eat and drink much better than the chickens in the same village every day.

They live very comfortably every day, just laying eggs and crowing.

But like today, eating small fish until full, it is really not enjoyable.

After being fed by Doudou for a while, the group of wandering chickens left, and their veggies were a little bulging.

Even if you are delicious, you can't keep sending them to your mouth, right?

Watching them leave, Doudou was a little disappointed. I haven't seen enough, but that's it, I still have to prepare small fish and shrimp.

"Dandan, please take away the crucian carp that I fried to eat at night." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Sure, I'm not the same as before, I'm very powerful now." Lu Dan said.

"That's necessary, otherwise if I can't even handle this, it will be difficult to be a doctor." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, what does Doudou do?" Doudou asked.

"Wash some small fish and shrimps, make a paste of small fish and shrimps, and then stick some corn cakes on top, how about that?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"This is delicious when dipped in soup." The little girl nodded happily.

For her, having something to eat and something to play with is the happiest thing.

Chen Tiezhu, however, was not in a hurry, and just watched Doudou wash small fish and shrimps. For the little girl, this kind of work is actually nothing, it's very easy.

Seeing that the little girl was almost busy, he cooked sorghum rice in the pot in the east room.

The weather is already hot, and in Chen Tiezhu's home, rice has begun to withdraw from the stage of history, and sorghum rice has become the protagonist.

"Doudou, do you want to be a chef today?" Chen Tiezhu asked happily.

Doudou looked at it, and his little mouth slowly opened, and he was so happy.

Is there any need to ask this? Give us a chance, then can we not seize it?

She ran into the house and tied on her apron. Then she brought her own little stool over and stood beside the stove, posing.

"Master, is it okay? Don't you have to wait?" Lu Dan asked worriedly.

"It must be okay, my dear, wait for me. Daddy will prepare the seasoning and noodles for you." Chen Tiezhu said happily, and then he got busy.

When he was ready, the stove was lit, and Doudou's face became tense.

Although she often helped with cooking, it was her first time to be the chef, so she had to do it well.

She held the oil bottle and poured some soybean oil into the pot, and then she used her big spatula to scrape some of it on the wall of the pot, just like Chen Tiezhu did in the past.

After waiting for a while, the little girl took a look and poured the chopped green onion, ginger, garlic and dried chili peppers that Chen Tiezhu had cut into the pot, and she also stir-fried them with the spatula.

Then I took the soybean paste from the bowl next to me, poured it into the pot, and stir-fried it happily.

With the sizzling sound, the aroma of the soybean paste came out.

After frying for a while, the little guyShe nodded with satisfaction. She picked up the basin that Chen Tiezhu had moved over. It was filled with water, and she poured all of it in.

After all, she was a little kid, and it was hard to control the amount. But with Chen Tiezhu preparing it, she was relieved.

She shoveled a few times casually, and then picked up the soy sauce bottle and poured some soy sauce in.

"Doudou, isn't soy sauce usually used for frying the pot?" Lu Dan asked curiously.

"Sister Dandan, the pot is fried with soybean paste. Add soy sauce, it tastes better. And you can't put too much, soybean paste is salty." Doudou said seriously.

Lu Dan gave a thumbs up directly. She really didn't understand, Doudou was really amazing.

Doudou's little look was very beautiful. After a while of happiness, she began to stare at the pot again.

The big pot in the countryside was quick to heat up, and the soup inside boiled in a short while. The little guy didn't delay, holding the basin with a little effort, and poured all the small fish and shrimps into it.

"Uh..., is there too much soup? Do you want to scoop some out?" Lu Dan asked after taking a look.

"Sister Dandan, corn cakes taste good when dipped in soup, so you need more." Doudou said when she had time.

For the little one, now is just the beginning of the busy work.

She dragged the dough basin over, grabbed a ball of dough with her little hands, patted it, and threw it. With a "pop" sound, the piece was firmly attached to the wall of the pot.

At the beginning, everyone didn't care much. But after Doudou attached a few pieces, even Grandpa Han was so happy that his back teeth were exposed.

It's not that the little one attached it badly, but that it was attached too well.

The little one had attached it before, but the cakes flew everywhere and pointed wherever she attached it.

But now? She can stick these cakes in a row. Although there are sometimes some big gaps, after all, she is a child.

And because the little one's hands were small, and the pancakes were also small, she had to stick them four times along the edge of the pot before she finished.

After all this work, Doudou was sweating all over her forehead.

But she was very energetic, and her little face was so beautiful.

Chen Tiezu helped to cover the pot, and he was really looking forward to it. He didn't know what it would be like for his daughter to cook.
