Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 64
"That's right, that's right, you can buy some and sell them."

"Ouch, old man, I'm running a small business, but I can't afford it." The boss said, "Besides, there is no production of that stuff now."

After buying a bunch of needles and thread, Zhou Zhi began to push his grandmother to the old street in Linjiang.

The market on Xinjie is lively, but wheelchairs cannot get in. There are also vegetables for sale along the old street, and they are fresh, and they are all picked and sold by farmers in the suburbs.

Grandma also likes the atmosphere of the old street, and her eyes are poisonous in picking vegetables, which are much better than what Zhou Zhi bought before.

There are also a lot of aquatic products sold by the river. People in Jiachuan still don’t like to eat river shrimps very much. Even water rice boat nails, oxtail flowers and loach... These aquatic products, which are expensive in later generations, are not expensive at all now. Today in Jiachuan It is also collectively referred to as "little miscellaneous fish".

Now that Zhou Zhi has become a small local tyrant, how can he let it go when he sees this: "Tomorrow, let's just forget about the whole river feast..."

"I'm afraid the oil is not enough."

"It doesn't matter, the second oil makes fish more delicious! Then buy another piece of suet!"

Hanging the purchased vegetables and fish on the wheelchair, Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Grandma, with this cart, grocery shopping is even more convenient!"

Grandma is also very happy today. Grandma has been locked up in the small dormitory of the sugar and wine company for ten years.

In the past ten years, I can count the number of times I have been able to go shopping like today.

Back home, he helped grandma get out of the wheelchair. Zhou Zhi was still putting away the chair, and grandma leaned on the wall and walked into her room with her little feet.

"Oh, grandma, don't fall!" Zhou Zhi was taken aback, and hurried to help him up: "Why are you in such a hurry..."

Grandma was impatient: "Relieve it! I was so anxious just downstairs!"

"..."

Early the next morning, Yang He arrived first, and the child just said hello when he went back, and then took the first boat in the morning on the pretext that school would start soon.

Feng Xueshan and Zhou Zhi live close together, and they also came early: "Yuzi, have you bought the groceries yet? Oh, there are people who came earlier than me!"

Feng Xueshan and Yang He had never met before. Zhou Zhi introduced them: "This is my high school classmate, Yang He, who basically lives at my house during the holidays. Monk, this is my junior high school classmate, Feng Xueshan. I came so early to help For food."

"Bah!" Feng Xueshan has never been polite to Zhou Zhi, but she has already started to step into the kitchen: "Let me see what I bought... Oh, why are they all fish?"

"How about having a seafood banquet today?" Zhou Zhi was very proud.

"You're an idiot." Feng Xueshan said definitively, "It's all about the fire, it's time to do it! Aprons, sleeves!"

It was only after Zhou Zhi said this that he realized, "Oh, that's right! Fortunately, I boiled the oil last night!"

"Did you not bake the shrimp and fish last night?"

"Ah no..."

"Then wrap the small fish in flour and fry it! The shrimp will be boiled for a while!"

"But there are oily residues, why do you still use fried fish?"

"Fried lotus white with oil dregs at the end!"

"Makes sense!"

Next, Zhou Zhi and Yang He were sent around by Feng Xueshan. The pickled ginger and chili peppers were fished out and chopped into a large bowl. The garlic cloves could not run into dozens, and the cabbage was only allowed to tear off the leaves. She began to wrap the small fish in the flour and put it in the oil pan. By the way, she also cut the carp into pieces and fried it. After a while, it was braised in soy sauce, and the water rice seeds were also fried. After a while, it was dry-fried with the oil residue...

Catfish is used to make garlic fish cubes, and yellow pepper is used to make sauerkraut fish soup.

There are already five big dishes, one kimchi and one stir-fried vegetable. There is also a steamed egg. The sausage and bacon are all ready-made. Cut them into platters and heat them together, and there will be two more.

If the two pots are operated at the same time...Huh?Zhou Zhi found out that it didn't take much time.

Yang He was overwhelmed with admiration for Zhou Zhi's good fortune, Feng Xueshan was beautiful, hardworking and a culinary expert, yet she came to help so early in the morning.

This is really the hall above and the kitchen below.

I can't ask for more, if I can bring such a daughter-in-law back to my family, I will dare to walk sideways in Baimi Township!
Zhou Zhi helped prepare the ingredients.

Fish cooking requires a lot of ingredients, such as chopped bean sprouts and oil residue for dry cooking, green onion knots, celery, and crushed watercress for braised watercress, sauerkraut for pickled fish, bean sprouts...

It didn't take long for the buddies to arrive too, and they arrived together. Xiong Jiao and He Yongmei started chatting and dancing with Feng Xueshan.

Said it was helping, but actually did nothing.

Fang Wenyu, Yan Xiao, and He Yongmei all knew Yang He, so Yang He relaxed now.

Just now, Feng Xueshan's half mistress' aura put him under tremendous pressure.

It was almost noon when Wei Fei and Wei Yi arrived, along with Master Qiao.

"Where did you meet?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"Xin Road Exit." Wei Yi said.

"New road intersection?" Master Qiao lives in the dormitory of the Bureau of Culture and Education next to the school, and it's not a smooth road to go downhill to the Baihua Pavilion...

"I went to Xinhua Bookstore today." Master Qiao replied solemnly: "School is about to start, go and see if there are any new materials."

"Elbow, come here and start firing!" Feng Xueshan had already prepared the sauerkraut soup, and it was time for the fish.

"Then you talk, sister, you can do whatever you want, you don't need to be polite to them." Zhou Zhi said hello and hurried to the kitchen.

Two people work at the same time. The first thing to make is the fish soup. The soup cools slowly, and Zhou Zhi makes the stewed carp cubes with watercress braised in soy sauce because of the juiciness.

When frying the ingredients, first throw in all the garlic and fry it well, then scoop out more than half of it and give it to Feng Xueshan for a while.

After the sauerkraut fish soup was cooked, Feng Xueshan started to make garlic-roasted catfish. Halfway through, the braised fish pieces here were ready to be cooked, and then started to make dry-boiled water rice seeds.

When the garlic-roasted catfish came out of the pot, the two changed pots, Feng Xueshan was in charge of the final seasoning of the dry-roasted fish, and Zhou Zhi started to fry the cabbage with oil residue.

After the cabbage is fried, add water to the pot to steam the assortment of eggs. When half of the steaming is done, the sausage and bacon are served first. After Feng Xueshan’s side is dry-cooked, add the boiled river prawns in the thermos, and finally arrive at the dining table at the same time as the steamed eggs.

The combination of two swords is invincible.

The food has already started over there, and Yan Xiao saw the two people come in with the last two dishes: "Panda, Xianhui has been compared..."

Xiong Jiao gave Yan Xiao a chopstick head: "Why do you compare me! Isn't your Yongmei the same!"

"Oh..." Yan Xiao had a very thick skin: "I and Yongmei belong to the same family, what about you?"

"Yan Xiao, don't make trouble!" Zhou Zhi touched a bottle of wine from under the TV cabinet, but it was the leftover Laojiao special tune from the New Year's Eve dinner: "Today we drink this."

"Good wine!" Wei Fei said first.

Dad usually doesn't drink at home, and only drinks when the guests come. Knowing that Zhou Zhi is going to have a treat at noon today, they simply don't come back, leaving space for Zhou Zhi and his classmates.

This is why everyone likes to come to Zhouzhi's house to play.

The weather in Jiachuan is hot, and many people drink cold porridge in summer. Later, when beer became popular, they drank beer directly, saving even cooking.

In addition, Jiachuan is located at the mouth of the Hongshui River, and the Hongshui River has another name, "Meijiu River".

Therefore, the children in Jiachuan have been exposed to alcohol very early, and there are almost no high school students who have not drunk alcohol.

Including girls.

Of course, it is impossible to open up and drink drunk, it is just a taste.

After pouring the wine for everyone, Zhou Zhi raised the wine glass: "Panda, raise the wine glass, let's start with you today."

"Why?" The panda raised the wine glass and opened his eyes wide: "Why do you want to start with me?"

"I used to like to joke around, but now that we're all grown up, we can't make jokes like that anymore." Zhou Zhi asked everyone, "Do you think so?"

Everyone smiled and nodded.

"You still know?" Xiong Jiao said angrily.

"Although there are all kinds of helplessness and reluctance..." Zhou Zhi pretended to be his girlfriend and proposed to break up. Although the man was disappointed, he still insisted on his demeanor: "Panda, take care of each other in the future, I wish you find happiness!"

Except for Mr. Qiao, Wei Yi, and Yang He who looked confused, everyone at the table burst out laughing.

Just Xiong Jiao held the cup and couldn't laugh or cry.

Why don't you clink glasses with this damn guy, as if implying that he can continue to make that joke in the future;

But touching this cup is equivalent to cooperating with him to finish this "breakup scene".

In the end, he gritted his teeth and clinked glasses with Zhou Zhi: "Damn Elbow! You are so hateful!"

After Wei Fei explained to Wei Yi and the others, Wei Yi couldn't help laughing: "Elbow! You are too wicked!"

Both of them put down their glasses, and Zhou Zhi greeted everyone: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, oh, I've already eaten half of them...Xueshan, you've had a hard day today, so hurry up and eat something."

He Yongmei said: "That's right, I suggest that everyone respect Xueshan first."

"Hey! I cooked half of the dishes today!"

"Wait a minute!"

"Then I'll be with you, come on, everyone respect Xueshan! Continue next time!"

After getting the atmosphere going, Zhou Zhi scooped up a steamed egg and sent it to grandma.

Grandma can't go to such a table, she can't bear the rowdy energy of this gang, and would rather eat alone inside.

"My dear grandson, don't worry about me, my dear girl scoops it up for me to eat first, it's almost finished."

"This is also made by Xueshan. The simmered sauce is different from the usual vinegar at home. You have to try it."

"Xueshan is really capable. She can set up such a big table in a short time, and she is considerate. This is going to be in the early years. The matchmaker will have to smash the house!"

"That's also the door of Feng's family. Grandma, you can rest assured, our old Zhou's door is fine!"

Grandma was very disappointed, and said angrily: "Go and greet your classmate!"

After Zhou Zhi came out and sat down again, everyone started talking about the holiday.

Zhou Zhi was extremely busy during this holiday, and missed many things, such as visiting Baisha Town together.

However, Baisha Town was recommended by Zhou Zhi to everyone. Sugar and Wine Company has business outlets in various towns and towns in the county. Every year when the inventory is made, my mother, who was the accountant of the Sugar and Wine Company at the time, would go to the countryside, and Zhou Zhi followed her everywhere.

The current Baisha Town is still a standard small town by the Yangtze River, with stone streets and wooden walls. The best place is the grain depot in the district. When the bandits counterattacked the village, the work team retreated there and used brick and stone houses to defend. , Persisted until the arrival of the large troops, and the wall of the grain depot still has the gun holes of the fierce battle at that time.

"Have you visited the bandit den?"

"That place is really amazing. One man is the gate and ten thousand men are not open. There is a Shimen village on Baizhai Mountain, which can overlook the Yangtze River. There are springs and fields in it, so it can be self-sufficient." Fang Wenyu talked about this.
