Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 100 Grilled Fish
In Pingyang County, Old Zhao’s Crayfish Restaurant.

"Business is closed today", a big notice board was placed in front of the door, and the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant was closed.

The convenience market will be closed on the first and fifteenth day of each month for environmental cleaning and some repairs and construction projects. Almost every time the market closes, it will change drastically.

This era is like this, every day brings new changes.

The old Zhao's crayfish restaurant simply closed down at the same time.

This will not only allow everyone to have time to take a good rest, but also avoid the noisy, dirty and dangerous environment during market construction.

Dining in this environment, the customer experience is not good either.

In addition to the "Closed Business Today" notice, there is another big red notice in front of the old Zhao's Crayfish Restaurant:
"The new grilled fish will be released tomorrow, enjoy a [-]% discount for the first three days!"

"Grilled fish, free canned yellow peaches!"

A billboard about grilled fish had been erected at the entrance of the store a few days ago.

"What is grilled fish? Can it be delicious?"

Some customers are skeptical.

In everyone's impression, grilled fish is either skewered with a wooden stick and grilled on the fire; or it is a small dried fish grilled on a barbecue stand.

The former is usually charred on the outside and undercooked on the inside, and it has no taste and is not delicious at all.

Although the taste of the latter is not bad, it always feels that it is not in harmony with the high style of the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant.

"What are you thinking! Old Zhao's grilled fish is definitely not what we imagined!"

"Maybe it's something new!"

Someone retorted carelessly, already full of expectations for grilled fish.

Just kidding, how could the old Zhao's things be mediocre!
No, you must try it when the time comes!
While the old gourmets were looking forward to the new dishes of the old Zhao family, everyone in the old Zhao family was sitting around the restaurant, tasting the newly made grilled fish.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"Definitely delicious!"

With the experience of eating spicy crayfish for the first time, Zhao Zimeng, Ziting, and Zhang Yuanming learned how to behave this time, and only kept praising the deliciousness.

Then hold the chopsticks and wait for the meal to be served.

To be honest, grass carp is not the best choice for grilled fish.

First of all, it has more thorns, which is not as convenient to eat as black fish, bass, and catfish.

The second is that the grass carp is relatively slender, especially the wild grass carp in this era.

In this case, the aesthetics of the plate is not good.

But there is no way, the local big fish are only four kinds of carp, grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp.

The former has too many fish bones and is not suitable; the latter two are too loose and unpalatable.

Bighead carp can be used to make fish head cakes, which are delicious.

Therefore, the dwarfs had no choice but to choose grass carp to pull out the general.

At least the supply is sufficient and the quantity is large.

As for better fish, take your time later.

In the kitchen, the three chefs Zhao Wenyuan, Gangzi and Song Guanjun skillfully handled the grass carp.

A grass carp weighing two to three catties was scaled, gills removed, viscera removed, cleaned, and then split into two from the back.

Fish body cutting knife.

Then add onion ginger, soy sauce, pepper, salt and secret cooking juice and marinate for five to six minutes.

Heat the oil in a pan, when the oil is hot, put the fish and fish oil/fish roe in, fry until golden on both sides.

Both fish oil and fish roe are good things, nutritious and delicious.

Deep-frying can decompose the fat of the fish itself, which will make the fish more flavorful and not greasy.

Set the fried fish aside.

For the time being, Zhao Wenmu only offers three flavors of grilled fish, all of which use fried grass carp. This standardized operation can greatly improve efficiency.

After all, the manpower in his shop is very tight.

In a special flat-bottomed tray, put bean curd, bean sprouts, tofu, kelp, potatoes and other side dishes, and spread the fried fish on top of the side dishes.

Then heat the oil in a pan, put ginger and spring onion, Chinese prickly ash, chili, bean paste and the base material prepared in advance to fry until fragrant, then pour it on top of the fish.

Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onion and garlic, and place the flat tray on top of the charcoal that has already been fired.

A dish of spicy grilled fish is complete.

Most of these steps can be carried out simultaneously, so a grilled fish can be served in only ten minutes at most.

Customers only need to wait a few minutes for the side dishes to be ready to enjoy.

Very convenient and very user-friendly.

In addition to spicy grilled fish, there is also a grilled fish with sauce and a grilled fish with scallions.

It is very suitable for the taste of Qilu people.

As for other flavors such as spicy, garlic, pickled pepper, tempeh, rattan pepper, etc., there are no flavors for the time being, but they will be available after a while.

Especially the fresh green pepper flavor grilled fish, which is relatively new, can be used as the main product in summer and autumn.

The whole family sits together, the grilled fish on the tray is delicious, and the charcoal under the tray burns slowly.

Don't have fun.

Not to mention a few children, even adults find it novel.

"Ziting, don't touch the tray, be careful it's hot!"

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Xiao Ziting secretly reached out to touch the tray.

Zhao Wenyan saw it and hurriedly stopped it, but it was already too late.

The little guy's delicate hands touched the edge of the tray, which happened to be next to the charcoal fire, and it was burned immediately.

"Wow!"

The little girl who looked like a porcelain doll immediately grinned and began to cry.

The adults were in a hurry.

The little guy had a blister on his right index finger, watching her cry, the adults were also so distressed that their hearts twitched.

As soon as there were some medicines in the things Rongren sent, Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin hurried home and returned with a bottle of burn ointment.

Liu Xiumei dipped a handkerchief with cold water and gave Xiao Ziting a cold compress.

In winter, the water is more than ten degrees below zero, and I dare not apply cold compresses for a long time.

After applying the refreshing ointment, the little guy finally stopped crying.

Tears rolled in the big eyes, and this aggrieved appearance made everyone feel even more distressed.

"Little brother, the safety of this iron tray is a problem, children can easily get burned!"

Zhao Wenyan said with some concern.

The others also nodded.

Zhao Wenmu thought for a while, this is indeed a problem.

One reason why Xiao Ziting was scalded was that the charcoal fire was not placed in the middle of the tray, which caused the edge of the tray to be heated.

Another reason is that the tray is scalding anyway, and children can get burned if they touch it.

It's okay for adults, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, so it's not afraid of being scalded.

He took a tray of charcoal, circled an area in the middle of it, and said to the several people in charge of entertaining the guests:
"In the future, all charcoal will be placed in this area, and then we must emphasize to each table of guests that the tray is hot, do not touch it, especially take care of the children."

It is impossible to completely eliminate hot things, but to prevent them as much as possible.

After a while, the little guy seemed to forget the pain in his hand, and happily ate the grilled fish again.

But this time, she has been careful not to approach the tray.

Zhao Wenmu reached out to touch her little head.

I also picked a little sauce-flavored grilled fish and fed it to the little girl.

This smaller little guy was already screaming in anger when he saw everyone eating without her!

"fish!"

"fish!"

"donkey!"

After eating the roasted greens that he was thinking of, the little guy with a loud voice finally stopped making trouble.

"When you grow up, if you are still so disobedient, let your mother beat you!"

Zhao Wenmu wiped his daughter's small mouth, pinched her small face and said with a smile.

"Why did you let me beat her?"

Zhao Jing was a little unhappy.

"Where can I do it!"

Zhao Wenmu laughed and pinched her face, in front of so many people, Zhao Jing immediately stepped aside.

If you can't do it, then I can't do it either!

She thought to herself.

But my daughter has been so naughty since she was a child, she would scream at the top of her voice if she couldn't satisfy her wish immediately, how could this work?
Can't be spoiled!
Still have to fight!

But I really don't want to fight!

Zhao Wenmu's words provoked Zhao Jing to fight between heaven and man there, and his heart was entangled.

"Ah Jing, what are you thinking?"

Seeing her frowning for a while, bitterness and hatred for a while, and making up her mind for a while, Zhao Wenyan couldn't help asking.

"No, I still have to fight!"

"what?"

The little girl in Dad's arms shuddered.

Before the store opened the next day, Shen Congwu came again.

"Boss Zhao, 1 yuan, 8 cents, I want it all!"

When he saw Zhao Wenmu, Shen Congwu didn't exchange pleasantries, but directly expressed his intention to come.

"Okay! When is the deal?"

Zhao Wenmu knew that this price would definitely sell, so he didn't know which one would be the first to go.

But according to his observation, it can only be the Shen family or the Ma family.

These two should be rivals, and now they are fighting hand-to-hand, and the winner must be decided.

相比之下，国营干货厂不可能在市场价只有1块7不到的时候，就敢花1块8毛8买货。

Compared with the Shen family, Ma Bufang is more calm, and may not make a quick decision.

Therefore, there is a high probability that it is Shen Congwu's side!
as predicted.

Zhao Wenmu immediately greeted Zheng Guangming and Song Guanjun, and took Shen Congwu's truck back to Shanqian Village.

The Shen family did have some abilities, and even called several large trucks directly.

Seeing the big truck entering the village, Zhao Xuelei rushed over to inquire about the situation.

"Second Uncle, my dried mushrooms are about to be sold. Help me find some young people to move the goods!"

Free labor is not in vain.

Zhao Xuelei is also very concerned about Zhao Wenmu's dried mushrooms. Whether these mushrooms can be sold smoothly will have a lot to do with Shanqian Village's income next year!

Now that the batch of mushrooms has finally been sold, a big stone in his heart has also fallen to the ground.

Naturally, without saying a word, a dozen young and middle-aged men were called from the brick kiln.

A group of people weighed and loaded all the dried mushrooms until the afternoon.

"Boss Zhao, take a look. The total is 18 catties, and the total price is 2744 yuan."

Zhao Wenmu's new home, Shen Congwu handed the counted figures to Zhao Wenmu.

Zhao Wenmu naturally has a record here.

After the comparison was correct, Shen Congwu settled the payment on the spot.

Carrying two big bags full of unity, he has been worried all day, okay?
It took more than an hour to count the money.

The truck didn't leave Shanqian Village until the money and goods were settled and Zhao Wenmu spoke.

It is naturally impossible to allow them to leave before it is confirmed that the money has been received. Otherwise, the truck will run away and only Shen Congwu will be left. Wouldn't it be a big loss.

Shen Congwu's life is not worth 34 yuan!
