In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

The next day, after dawn.

Li Duoyu squatted on the stone bar and brushed his teeth. Little Fatty got up reluctantly, with dark circles under his eyes.

He didn't seem to be in very good spirits and looked dull.

"The light in your room was on last night. Did you stay up late doing your winter vacation homework?"

Li Haoran said helplessly:

"It's done."

"Your winter vacation homework is about thirty pages. You can finish it in one night. You are also interested. You didn't doodle, right?"

Li Haoran was very good at calculations. One page took 10 minutes, and [-] pages could be completed in five hours. However, the math problems were so difficult that it was too late to calculate them one by one.

Sitting in the back, he wrote the answers to almost all the math questions in random order. When his aunt corrected his homework, he would definitely be angry.

"Uncle, can you give me my winter vacation homework when aunt brings it back tonight?"

Li Duoyu, whose mouth was full of toothpaste foam, rinsed his mouth and said, "I had a lot of fun during the winter vacation, but now I know I'm scared."

Little Fatty smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, I know I was wrong. Now I can only rely on you. If aunt finds out, I will be scolded to death."

Li Duoyu glanced at this little chubby guy and couldn't help but sigh. Not everyone is suitable for studying and becoming successful.

With his procrastinating personality, if he wants to do something big in the future, he will probably do it on the last step.

As an elder, there is nothing that can be taught to him except to teach him some correct values ​​in life.

"Haoran, as men, since we have done something wrong, we must be brave enough to take responsibility. There is nothing to be afraid of being criticized. The only thing we are afraid of is knowing the mistake but not correcting it."

Li Haoran looked aggrieved as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Uncle, that's not what you taught me before. When you stole Mrs. Wang's chickens and blew up the old Lu's water tank, you said you would be fine without being discovered."

Seeing Li Haoran speaking so loudly, Li Duoyu looked around suddenly. Fortunately, the neighbors were not there, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing if they heard him.

After all, he is still a village director and an advanced individual at the county level. He still wants to save face. How can he let these petty thieves ruin his image.

"Haoran, don't talk about this kind of thing again in the future. Do you know that our two things are of different natures?"

"What's the difference?"

Li Duoyu was really confused by the question and had to say seriously: "I am an adult and you are a child. Can we be the same?"

"Uncle, please help me take out my homework tonight."

Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.

"It's useless to take it out for you. Your aunt will 100% pay special attention to your winter vacation homework by then. If she doesn't find it by then, she will think you didn't turn it in. Wouldn't it be even worse?"

Li Haoran said: "Auntie is not that quick to correct the winter vacation homework. Normally it takes about a week. I just want to take it out and redo the scribbled part."

"Really?"

Li Haoran swept away the previous haze, opened his eyes wide, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"When the time comes, I'll help you take a look."

"Thank you uncle."

What Li Haoran didn't expect was that his uncle sold him in the blink of an eye. After Li Duoyu returned to the bedroom, he saw Zhou Xiaoying who was about to go to school and said directly:
"When you come back in the evening, give me Haoran's winter vacation homework book."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned, her whole aura changed, and she instantly showed the majesty of being a teacher.

"Did he scribble the answers again?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "However, my attitude towards admitting my mistake this time is okay. I still want to take it back and do it again."

"But Haoran is always like this, there's no other way. There are so many days in winter vacation, why do you always have to do your homework on the last night?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "It seems that I was like him before."

"That's why you got a certificate of completion from junior high school."

Li Duoyu murmured softly: "Although I am a graduate, I am still doing well now."

Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Reading good books is equivalent to one more way out. For us, this is the easiest way out."

Li Duoyu also felt that what Zhou Xiaoying said was very reasonable, but for poor students like them, studying was really too painful.

"I also think Teacher Zhou is right."

Seeing Li Duoyu's careless look, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help but twist his arm: "You can't teach Tutu like this in the future, do you know?"

"It hurts, I know."

At this moment, Old Man Mi's voice came from the courtyard.

"Duoyu, are you at home?"

After Li Duoyu heard it, he quickly replied: "If you are here, I will come right away."

Li Duoyu rubbed his twisted arm and pursed his lips: "You must have used too much force. Now it will turn blue."

After Li Duoyu went out, he found Old Mi carrying a sack: "Old Mi, thank you for your hard work. Just ask me to get it. Why do you have to go there yourself?"

"It's just a small thing, just something convenient."

Old Man Mi continued: "These eels were caught temporarily, and we only got eight of them. Seven of them were small. Fortunately, there was a big one inside, weighing about three kilograms, which is pretty good."

"It's okay, I just want a small one. By the way, how much do these cost in total?"

"Exactly 15 yuan."

Zhou Xiaoying, who was just about to go out, couldn't help frowning when she heard the price: "How can you buy such an expensive thing?"

Old Man Mi smiled and said: "Teacher Zhou, you don't understand this. This thing is a bit expensive, but it is good for men. Director Li is so busy every day, so he really should make up for it."

Zhou Xiaoying suddenly remembered what Li Duoyu said yesterday, saying that he needed to use something different to replenish his body. Could it be this thing?

She was just talking casually, how could she be so serious and actually buy something to make up for it.

She occasionally chats with her female colleagues about bedside topics. Compared with other men, Duoyu is already pretty good.

The one from Shanshan's family, Xiao Weidong who was imprisoned, was very good at beating his wife, but when it comes to that, it is said that each time from start to finish does not take more than 2 minutes.

The two have been married for five years, and she has never experienced an orgasm.

After giving Mr. Mi 15 yuan.

Li Duoyu poured the wild eels in the sack into a wooden barrel, then carried them to the well to clean them.

Eels are very energetic and difficult to catch. It seems that just like what old man Mi said, they were just caught.

The wild eels don't look much different from the ones he farmed, except for the different colors.

The ones he farmed look distinctly black and white, while some of these wild eels are more yellow and some are cyan.

And if you want to truly distinguish whether an eel is wild or farmed, you don't have to look at the body color, but some details.

Wild eels have smaller eyes, and because they have to actively hunt for food, their mouths look wider, their fins are slightly larger, and they have obvious bloodshot eyes, and their belly is gold-rimmed.

Li Duoyu still remembers clearly that in his previous life, the price of wild eels in Rongcheng was often five to ten times that of farmed eels, and this huge profit made many farmers have twisted ideas.

In order to pass off farmed eels as wild, some farmers have developed something called "ecological eels".

The cultured eel is brought to a specific stream area and raised for a period of time. After it changes color, it is starved for a period of time and then sold as wild eel.

It is similar to taking hairy crabs to Yangcheng Lake to "cross the water".

The only difference is that the eel's body color changes due to different environments, making it look more like a wild eel.However, for grilled eel, the difference between wild and farmed eel is not very big. The most important thing is the kabayaki sauce required for grilled eel.

That is the soul of Kabayaki eel.

During the years when he was working illegally, Li Duoyu had made kabayaki sauce countless times, and the recipe had long been deeply ingrained in his mind.

The main ingredients of kabayaki sauce are mirin, sake, sugar and soy sauce.

You must have sugar and soy sauce at home, but the more troublesome seasonings are mirin and sake.

Mirin is a rice wine-like condiment from the island country. It is brewed from sweet glutinous rice and koji.

In the Japanese food system, Mirin has a similar status to domestic cooking wine. It is also used to remove fishy food and enhance freshness. It is also a very versatile seasoning wine.

Fortunately, brewing mirin is not difficult and can be brewed in just a few days. If mirin is not available, you can also directly use local rice wine and brown sugar to replace it.

Sake can also be replaced with local rice wine, and the green and red wine made by Dad happens to be a type of rice wine.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Duoyu asked Chen Huiying, who was feeding rice cereal to little Tutu in the room: "Mom, do you have any rice wine and brown sugar at home?"

Chen Huiying replied: "Brown sugar is available, but rice wine is not."

"Okay, I know. I'll go shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative later. Is there anything I want to buy?"

"Nothing to buy."

After a while, Li Duoyu bought all the ingredients needed to make the sauce and started making the sauce directly.

The recipe for Kabayaki sauce is very simple, but making a delicious sauce will test the chef's skills.

Even though Li Duoyu is very familiar with Kabayaki sauce, he has made it five or six times even though the raw materials are different.

Only then did he make a satisfactory sauce. Although it may not be exactly the same as when he was in the island country in his previous life, the overall flavor is at least eighty the same.

After the Kabayaki sauce is ready.

Next step.

Just kill the eel and grill the eel.

Back in the island country, before killing the eels, they would stun the eels with ice cubes, so that they would be easier to kill.

Where to find ice on Dandan Island.

Li Duoyu directly grabbed an eel weighing about seven taels, threw it directly on the chopping board, and then held the knife against its head, "Bang Bang" twice.

As the eel's body continued to twist and roll, within a minute, the eel gave up its struggle.

Li Duoyu took a clean iron nail and nailed the eel's head directly to the chopping board.

The kitchen knife was gently swiped at the eel's gills, and the fish was killed in a series of smooth and smooth movements such as breaking the belly and removing the bones.

In less than a minute, he handled an eel cleanly, and his fastest time was 1 seconds.

After handling the eels.

Next is the most important part of charcoal grilling. When grilling eel, it is very important to control the heat.

Among them, the eel skin is a very critical part. If it is grilled too much, it will lose its elasticity and fat, and if it is not grilled enough, it will produce a fishy smell.

Generally, it needs to be grilled until the skin is slightly charred and the fat oozes out. During the baking process, the sauce should be brushed four or five times.

In fact, grilling eel is not particularly difficult. It is similar to domestic barbecue. You just need to master the heat.

It took most of the day.

Li Duoyu finally grilled an eel, and when he smelled it, it had a special aroma as it was grilled over charcoal fire.

Li Duoyu took a bite first and found that it was really delicious. The wild eel seemed to taste better, and the meat was firmer and more elastic.

"Auntie, come out and help me eat something and see how it tastes."

Chen Huiying came out with Xiao Tutu on her back. When she saw that the fourth child had made a mess in the kitchen, she said slightly angrily:

"I love cooking so much, so I might as well work as a cook in the city."

"Try it first. How does my grilled eel taste?"

Chen Huiying glanced at the grilled eel and frowned slightly, but she still picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of eel meat into her mouth.

The moment of mouthing off.

Chen Huiying froze in place. She had never eaten such delicious food before, and she instantly became energetic.

"Duoyu, where did you learn this dish?"

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "I learned it from the islanders."

He did learn it from the islanders, and Li Duoyu really didn't lie to her about this.

Chen Huiying was speechless. This brat had always wanted to go to the island country to be a chef, but she didn't think she actually went to learn it last time.

"Mommy, is this grilled eel delicious?"

Chen Huiying nodded: "It's delicious, very delicious."

"It's delicious. Eat more."

But after eating a piece, Chen Huiying put down her chopsticks and said, "I'll eat together when everyone comes back in the evening."

"There are quite a lot of eels. You finish it first and I'll grill it later."

But no matter what Li Duoyu said.

Chen Huiying still couldn't bear to eat.

When Li Duoyu saw that she couldn't be persuaded, he stopped trying to persuade her. People of their generation were used to hardship. Growing up, food and clothing had been a problem, let alone eating delicious food.

But even if there is delicious food, I am often reluctant to eat it alone and have to wait for everyone to come back to eat together.

This reminds Li Duoyu of the time in junior high school when someone gave their family a watermelon.

Lao Li and his mother-in-law were reluctant to eat it and hid it in the cupboard, hoping to wait for him and Xiaoying to come back and eat it together.

As a result, the watermelon was bitten by a mouse, and by the time it was discovered, it was already half rotten.

I was so angry that throughout the year, whenever I saw a mouse, I would chase it and beat it, and would not stop until I caught it.

When Li Duoyu held Tutu.

This guy was quite restless, so he bit his shoulder directly and made a sucking motion.

It looks like I want to drink milk depending on the situation.

Li Duoyu took a chopstick, dipped it in the juice from the grilled fish, and placed it in front of little Tutu.

After this guy smelled it, he started smoking it.

"Dad~Dad~"

Li Duoyu took a small piece of relatively rotten eel meat without spines and put it in his mouth.

Little Tutu's eyes were wide open, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Dad~ delicious~"

When Xiao Tutu said the word "delicious", Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. Is this the process of growing up with a child?

Before, he would only call me daddy and mommy, but now he can actually say it tastes delicious. As expected, the child has changed so much every time. (End of chapter)
