The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Xie Zhiyao's father went back to the village to visit Grandma Xie, and asked about Xie Zhiyao's recent situation by the way.

Although Xie Zhiyao seems to be happy every day, but Xie's father knows that his son likes everything in his heart.In fact, he also learned about some situations. For example, Xie Zhiyao has a large loan from the bank that has not been repaid, and even the shutdown of the homestay, the construction team causing trouble, etc., all need to be resolved by his son.

He actually didn't understand his son's choice. Although helping the villagers is a good thing, he can't take everything on himself. His original expectation for Xie Zhiyao was to stay in the capital, and even find a local girl to marry and have a baby. A child, such a child has a registered permanent residence in the capital, and the educational resources that can be enjoyed are different from those here. Even in Beiqing, it is a matter of finishing.

But Xie Zhiyao chose to give up the great job in the capital, and instead returned to his hometown to start a business.Although he didn't understand at first, he supported him, but Xie Zhiyao not only started a business, but now he is directly in debt, which made Xie's father very worried.He felt that his son was not married and hadn't experienced family responsibilities, so he acted willfully. He hoped that Xie Zhiyao would get married as soon as possible, so that if he wanted to take risks in the future, he would think about his family.

Because of Xu Hongdou's hard work in managing the small restaurant, Xie Xiaochun personally cooked a table of meals for Xu Hongdou. In order to avoid embarrassment, he also invited Lin Na and Damai.

"Dinner is ready, let's see how it goes?"

Damai smiled and said, "It smells so good."

"Eat more, Xiaochun is capable of making everything delicious." Lin Na said while eating.

Xie Xiaochun said: "It's delicious, eat more. By the way, let me interview you. Is it my cooking that is delicious, or your boss Zhao's cooking? Or is it my elder brother's cooking that is delicious?"

"Mr. Zhao is not from our family." Xu Hongdou said quickly.

"Oh, don't hide it from us. You two are dating. We already know about it. You haven't answered my question yet."

Xu Hongdou looked at Damai and Lin Na, then at Xie Xiaochun who was staring at him with a smile on his face, and said, "You should all have their own merits. I found that your cooking is very similar to everyone's personality. Mr. Xie cooks There are so many tricks, you don’t know how to come up with all kinds of combinations. Xiaochun’s is simple and straightforward, stir-fried meat is all kinds of chili fried meat, and stir-fried vegetables are all kinds of chili stir-fried vegetables. When you are in a good mood, you will add a little sour papaya .”

Lin Na smiled and said, "There is sour papaya in it."

"Barley is very dedicated. I like to make noodles, such as mixed noodles, stir-fried noodles, and boiled noodles. Nana likes to make desserts, and the ones they make are very delicious, but when it comes to cooking, she can't do it."

Xu Hongdou hesitated for a while, and said: "Zhao Shucheng, the cooking is indeed delicious, but it is relatively rigid, basically according to the taste of dishes from various places. Although it is delicious, it does not feel like a Ordinary people, on the contrary, are like a cook who is proficient in various culinary arts."

"The analysis is very good. Don't tell me we haven't found it yet. It is indeed the case, especially Zhao Shucheng. I don't know about other dishes, but I cook some Hunan dishes, Shanghai dishes, and local Yunnan dishes. Just eat them locally. The taste is almost the same, but better." Lin Na also said thoughtfully.

"Okay, you don't need to praise Mr. Zhao, he is now a man with a reputation. But Hongdou, you said that we are talking about the truth, but what is your own style?"

Xu Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and said, "My style is actually very unpopular. I can make pickled eggs, pickled vegetables, soybean paste and soy sauce."

"You are so unpopular, are you particularly evil? You are all raw materials for cooking, and they are not considered dishes at all."

After Lin Na finished complaining, Xie Xiaochun also asked, "What's your specialty?"

Xu Hongdou said, "I can make crispy pots."

Others were stunned when they heard it. After all, crispy pot is not a very famous dish. It was only a traditional famous dish in Zibo mountainous area of ​​Lu Province. It is almost a must-have dish at home during the Chinese New Year. Inconvenience and other reasons, except for restaurants, other people only do it during the Chinese New Year, and few outsiders know about it.

"Crispy pot? What is a crispy pot?"

Xu Hongdou said: "Every family's method is different. Take our family as an example. We use a casserole with elbow bones under it, and then press cabbage, seaweed, and deep-fry everything, and of course crispy pan. Fish must be in the pot. After compacting, add water, then add seasoning, and start stewing!"

Lin Na and the others had never heard of it or seen it, so when Xu Hongdou said it, they listened intently.

After Xu Hongdou and the others got off work in the afternoon, when Lin Na and the others were preparing to have dinner, they saw Zhao Shucheng busy in the kitchen, and suddenly thought of what Xu Hongdou said earlier that Zhao Shucheng was an all-around cook.

"Brother Zhao, can you make crispy pot?"

Zhao Shucheng was taken aback when he heard it, and said, "Why do you think of eating this? It's not that easy to do."

"It's nothing, I just want to eat red beans, so I asked."

Zhao Shucheng said: "It may not be possible today. The meals are all ready, and it's too late to make them. What's more, you didn't tell me in advance that the ingredients here are not enough. If you really want to eat, I will make them for you tomorrow, but when the time comes Eat it all, or it will go to waste."

"No problem, we'll definitely finish it all."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head when he heard it, feeling that Lin Na was talking too much.In fact, the crispy pot is easy to make, but if you want to make a deluxe version, it is basically not much different from Buddha Jumping the Wall, but there are no complicated dry goods that need to be stewed for a long time, so it is not so famous.But if it is made more luxuriously, including chicken, duck, fish, ribs and pig's trotters, etc., the amount will actually be very large, and three or five people can't finish it.

In fact, local crispy pots are not meant to be eaten in one meal. Instead, after the Chinese New Year is ready, they are put in the yard to cool thoroughly and can be eaten at any time.And because there are fish and meat skin in it, after the stewed jelly is cooled, the soup becomes jelly, and a spoon is used to dig a plate for guests.

Xu Hongdou had already changed clothes and came here, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Na still wanted to keep it a secret, but Damai said it directly: "Brother Zhao will make crispy pot tomorrow."

Xu Hongdou looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "You can do this too?"

"Of course, there is no such thing as Shandong cuisine."

"Really, then we'll just wait and see if what you're doing is authentic." Xu Hongdou said.

"Okay, then you will know whether it is authentic or not. Let's eat first."

……

The next day.

In order to prepare the crispy pot for the evening, Zhao Shucheng came to the ancient city to purchase ingredients early in the morning.Considering that there were not many people, Zhao Shucheng didn't directly make a deluxe version. He bought some chicken, duck and fish, but it wasn't the whole chicken or duck, but only half of it.

Xie Zhiyao took grandma and father to pay homage to grandpa, and grandma Xie began to talk about what happened recently, and let grandpa realize his wish to have a grandson sooner, hoping that Xie Zhiyao would find a good relationship soon .

While Xie Grandma was pouring wine for Grandpa, Xie Zhiyao and his father sat in front of their mother's tombstone and talked about the past.

Xie Zhiyao's father owed his wife a lot, and his wife had paid so much for the family that she could not recover from her serious illness.Xie Zhiyao also missed his mother very much and wept silently.In fact, Xie Zhiyao's impression of his parents is not very clear. When he was young, his parents went out to work.From childhood to adulthood, he followed Grandma Xie and Grandpa, and then went out to study.Originally thought that after he graduated, he would have the opportunity to let Grandpa live a happy life, but before Xie Zhiyao could fulfill his filial piety, Grandpa suffered from illness and passed away.That's why Xie Zhiyao feels uncomfortable when he thinks of grandpa these years, and because he doesn't want grandma and has no one to take care of him, so he chooses to return to his hometown to start a business, just to spend more time with grandma.

As the sun went down, the twilight shrouded Yunmiao Village, every household began to emit the smell of rice, and people who had been busy all day fell asleep after eating.

Xu Hongdou and the others had also returned to the small courtyard, and they could smell the aroma of food as soon as they entered.

Xu Hongdou couldn't wait to come to the kitchen, looked at the casserole brought down by Zhao Shucheng, and said, "You really know how to make crispy pot?"

"What if it's not? Serve it out in a while, you can taste it first. It's a pity that there is not enough time, and the weather is not winter now, so there is no way to eat meat jelly."

"It doesn't matter, let's take it out and eat some first, and put the rest in the refrigerator, and we can eat it tomorrow."

"Okay, but it's definitely not as good as the taste of natural cooling."

After filling it out, Xu Hongdou couldn't wait to taste it, and said, "That's the taste, very similar to our home."

Speaking of which, Xu Hongdou also thought of the scene where he learned how to make crispy pots from his grandma. At that time, he was still young and his parents had to open a shop, so he basically spent the winter vacation at his grandma's house.

It's a pity that when my grandma passed away, I was in the capital at that time, so I didn't have time to see my grandma for the last time.

Lin Na and Barley didn't know this, but after tasting it, they couldn't help admiring how delicious it was.

"Brother Zhao, isn't this too delicious?"

"The crispy pot is actually very similar to the Buddha's jumping over the wall, but there are not so many precious ingredients. If you want to talk about the origin of the crispy pot, you must not guess it. In the past, there was a poor man who worked for the landlord's family. It's almost Chinese New Year, but the landlord He didn’t want to pay for singing, so he gave the leftovers from the New Year’s Eve dinner to the long-term worker for the wages. Although the long-term worker had no choice but to take the leftovers home, he didn’t have time to process them one by one when he returned, so he just put them in Cooked together, I didn't expect the taste to be quite delicious. Later, the long-term worker was hired by the restaurant. Thinking of the stewed dishes he ate during the Chinese New Year, he simply used some good ingredients to process and match them. Because there were fish in them, it was called Crispy Fish Pot. Later The recipe of this dish was spread, because there are different recipes, and finally became the current crisp pot.” (End of this chapter)
