I loaded the farm game

"Honey, come and drive!"

"I'll take my brother's car!"

Brother Lin smiled softly and handed the car keys to his wife.

"You should practice your driving skills more."

That's right, after seeing Lin Zhou driving this car, he suddenly didn't want to drive, but wanted to ride in the car.

In fact, to be more precise, he wanted to try it out, but he didn't think it was very good.

After all, Lin Zhou's car looked new. It would be very bad if he accidentally bumped into it!

Even if he is confident in his skills.

So, in the end, I decided to sit down and experience it.

Sister-in-law Lin rolled her eyes and saw through his thoughts at a glance. She was speechless in her heart. She was talking about practicing skills. She clearly wanted to experience the feeling of riding a million-level luxury car.

However, when it comes to this, she is also somewhat interested in her heart.

In reality, she has also ridden in a car of this level.

Of course, compared to Linzhou's second brother, she was much more reserved. Although she had ideas, she did not reveal them, nor did she expose his little thoughts, and took the key smoothly.

"Second brother! Come on and drive! I was very awkward when I first drove back. I'll sit next to you and you can teach me!"

Lin Zhou naturally saw the desire in his second brother's eyes and handed the key directly to him.

"do not!"

"Brother, your brother's car is very hairy and not stable at all. I'm afraid he might scratch your car when he starts driving."

"That's right, your second brother can't drive, don't let him drive!"

When Sister-in-law Lin and Uncle Lin Zhou saw this, they both spoke out to dissuade her.

"My skills are pretty good!" Brother Lin looked at the nervous expressions on their faces and muttered in a low voice.

Looking at the key in his hand, although he was reluctant to part with it, he still handed it back: "Brother, why don't you drive it yourself! I'll be the co-pilot and watch it for you. I'll tell you the same thing!"

Mainly because he was a little scared!

"Second brother! This is not like your character. Just drive away. This car is just a means of transportation. No matter what kind of car it is, driving it happily is the most important thing. Even if it is scratched, isn't it still covered by insurance?"

Lin Zhou's words also made his second brother put away the worries in his heart. After all, it was the desire in his heart that defeated the worry, and he clenched the key with excitement.

The second sister-in-law Lin and Uncle Lin Zhou who were standing next to him saw that things were like this, so they couldn't persuade him any more. They just kept telling him to drive slowly and carefully, keep his eyes on things, and concentrate without being distracted...

Anyway, I gave him all the instructions, and only when his second brother's head almost twitched did he let him get in the car.

And the treatment of the second brother Lin is not much less than that of Lin Zhou.

The two of them watched his second brother get into the car, and they told him again, telling him to keep an eye on his second brother, don't let him drive too fast, don't overtake randomly, don't...

For a moment, Lin Zhou regretted giving his second brother a chance at this time. He could have let him test drive when there was no one behind him.

Fortunately, after some careful urging, the two of them were finally put into the car.

"How's it going? Your second sister-in-law can talk a lot! Second brother, let me tell you, all married women are like this. You will understand later!" Second brother Lin saw Lin Zhou getting into the car with a smile on his face. said.

"By the way! Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Have!"

Lin Zhou nodded, and then introduced him to the operating buttons in the car.

Soon, the vehicle started successfully with the help of Brother Lin and headed outside.

Lin Zhou's second sister-in-law, in their own car, followed behind and escorted him.

Not long after, they returned to their hometown smoothly.

Seeing them come back, Mrs. Lin's anxious heart finally fell.

Of course, after he calmed down, he naturally scolded Uncle Linzhou and Second Brother Linzhou with his eyes again, as if he would settle the score with you later.

This was an internal matter between the uncle and his family. Naturally, Lin Zhou had no intention of getting involved and went straight to the kitchen.

Then he saw his mother, holding a colander, standing in front of a large iron pot on the stove. Next to her, there was a large pot.

Inside the big basket, there are pieces of freshly baked, golden-colored flour-fried fish.

And his mother, at some point, wore a plaid apron.

"You're back! Has the matter been resolved?" Qin Suyun turned to look at him and asked casually.

"It's settled! The other party reconciled and didn't pay any compensation!" Lin Zhou responded, looking at the fried fish in the dumpling: "Isn't this banquet a whole fish meal?"

"No, fried fish!" Qin Suyun shook her head: "What? Do you want to eat the whole fish?"

"No! Just asking!" Lin Zhou looked at the fish pieces that were sizzling in the oil pan and slowly turning golden in color. Standing beside the pot, he could already smell a very clear aroma.

The fried fish wrapped in flour was indeed delicious, but it wasn't his favorite.

As for the whole fish in his mouth, it is a bearded fish, and its scientific name should be catfish.

Appearing at banquets, they are mostly steamed and then added with some ingredients and seasonings such as black bean paste.

Although this kind of fish tastes good, in Lin Zhou's mind, it only ranks second.

The first thing you have to ask is the spicy and fragrant boiled fish!

Compared to the previous two methods of cooking fish, Lin Zhou prefers the latter.

Because the latter has the most flavor!

However, it is a pity that his favorite banquet dish has been gradually eliminated in their place!

Of course, the meaning of elimination here does not mean that it is lost or something.

This fish dish alone was replaced by other fish dishes!

Because here in Linzhou, as long as it is a wedding banquet, one of the dishes must be fish!

To be precise, there is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish (pork)!

Chicken is usually stewed with mushrooms, duck is stewed with sauerkraut, and fish is boiled fish. Needless to say, there are too many meats. There are very few vegetarian dishes on the table, and the rest are all meat dishes.

Whether it's fat or thin, or hot or cold dishes, we have it all!

Therefore, the boiled fish was eliminated and replaced with fish cooked in other ways, such as what his mother is currently doing - fried fish with flour!

And what he mentioned, steamed whole fish!

The elimination of boiled fish is probably because it is troublesome to make and put away!

So, slowly, it was replaced by the simpler steamed whole fish, and now the flour-fried fish.

After all, like flour-fried fish, it only needs to be fried in advance, and when it is served the next day, it can be cooked with oil.

Even if you are pressed for time, keep it well after frying so you can eat it directly the next day.

And after eating, recycling the leftovers is not to mention easy!

Like boiled fish, it's completely different.

Because when they make boiled fish here in Linzhou, they basically use fresh fish.

Generally, they are brought back one day in advance to be raised and then killed the next day.

Or even worse, have the banquet delivered the same morning.

Therefore, the taste of such fresh fish, coupled with the cooking skills of country chefs, is beyond words!

But in this way, freshly cooked food will obviously affect the speed and time of serving the banquet.

Perhaps coupled with the cost, it is now rare to see boiled fish at their banquets.

"Crack!"

While thinking about it, Lin Zhou didn't forget to pick up a piece of fried fish and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm! This is so crispy when it's just fried!" The sound of chewing seems to increase people's appetite.

After a while, only the fish bones were left in the flour-fried fish in Lin Zhou's hand.

"This kind of deep-fried food tastes best when it's just out of the pot!" Qin Suyun used a slotted spoon to flip the fish pieces in the pot and said with a smile.

“You can also eat some when the smoothies are fried later!”

Hearing this, Lin Zhou also nodded in agreement.

This kind of fried food tastes best right out of the pan, crispy and fragrant!

After letting it sit for a while, it will become damp and lose its crispiness, and the taste will drop to another level.

So they usually seal it in their pockets after its temperature has cooled down, slowing down the process!

"Then call me when it's time to fry!" Lin Zhou picked up another piece of fish meat, "Mom, are there any candied pork this time?"

"Have!"

"This time the dish is served with a bowl of roasted white meat and a bowl of sugar-coated pork!" Qin Suyun skillfully used long chopsticks to put a piece of fried fish into a colander and flipped it if it was not good.

After he was almost done, he turned around and said

: "Didn't you dislike eating these two dishes when you were a child?"

"Most of the time when I was a kid, it was fat meat, and everyone didn't like to eat it!" Lin Zhou said.

They used to cook white meat at village banquets, and rarely had the kind of three-strand meat. Many of them had a thin line of black on the top and all white on the bottom, with no trace of lean meat visible.

If the chef who cuts the vegetables has good knife skills and can cut it thinner, it will still make you more appetizing.

But if it is cut thicker, only young adults who do physical work can eat it.

Lin Zhou and his children at that time didn't even look at it.

Therefore, at that time, there was still the practice of eating seats to punish people, and this was used to burn white!

Taking the opportunity to help others with rice, he picked up a bowl of Shaobai and hid it at the bottom of the bowl.

When the person saw the meat at the bottom of the bowl, he had to eat it with tears in his eyes!

"Too!"

"I couldn't even eat two pieces at that time!" Qin Suyun echoed.

"But the meat your uncle got this time is all third-rate meat! So is the candied pork!"

"Then I'm afraid there will only be pickles left in the bowl this time!" Lin Zhou smiled softly.

Nowadays, when young people like him sit at a banquet in the village, as long as the roasted pork and sugared pork are third-tier meat, everyone will like it very much.

It seems that they now have the shadow of the young adults of his father's generation.

Although I am not engaged in physical work, I am also under other pressures, and I also fall in love with eating dishes like Shao Bai!

"Well! This is better! Eat clean and clean up easily, otherwise there will be a lot of leftovers!"

"The fat meat was burnt white in the past and was not moving on the tables. Even if it was taken back, the host family would not be able to finish it themselves. Most of them would be fed to the cats and dogs at home!"

Qin Suyun said with a sigh.

She used to work as a banquet in the village, and she knew all about it.

In fact, in rural areas, as long as the ingredients are better and matched with the chef's skills, it is very common for the dishes on the plate to be eaten cleanly.

It's not like the kind of people who pack their bags and fight for something to eat.

Anyway, Governor Lin has never seen anyone carrying food in his pockets here since he was so old.

But when I was a kid, I did see my peers competing for melon seeds and candies!

In this case, there is no adult presiding over it. Usually there is an adult, and the adults share the portion.

"Mom! You're busy. Call me when you're fried and I'll get two pickled chicken feet to chew on!"

After Lin Zhou finished the fried fish in his hand, he became craving for other dishes.

"Go! It should have been soaked!" Qin Suyun smiled and nodded.

When it comes to soaking chicken feet, they buy the ingredients themselves and bring them back to soak them.

After all, every household basically has one or two sauerkraut jars, so it is as simple as eating some sauerkraut, stir-frying some vegetables with sauerkraut, or soaking chicken feet in salt water or something like that and sprinkling water on it.

And it can be said that everyone knows this skill.

Soon, Lin Zhou walked out of the kitchen and found out where the soaked chicken feet were stored.

When his chopsticks and bowl arrived at their destination, they saw a bucket on the ground.

Before the lid was even opened, he could vaguely smell an alluring sour smell, the smell he remembered.

As soon as the lid of the bucket was opened, the sourness accumulated inside immediately escaped, causing Lin Zhou's taste buds to salivate.

He looked into the bucket and saw a bright red scene in the bucket.

In the deep red salt water, there are some seasonings such as celery, onions, red pickled peppers, wild peppercorns, and Sichuan peppercorns.

And, most importantly - chicken feet!

These things, which originally had their own colors, are now dyed red after being soaked in this bucket of crimson salt water.

"This color is right!"

Lin Zhou swallowed hard as he watched this scene.

This kind of salt water is made from red radish, which seems to be also called rouge radish. The salt water soaked in it is particularly red!

Then the soaked chicken feet are also deep red, the color is very beautiful!

Lin Zhou picked up the chopsticks and took a look. There was no water on them, so he put them in.

Putting chopsticks stained with water or oil into salt water will damage the salt water and make the water white.

Once whitening occurs, like this whiteness on the surface, you only need to take out most of it, add some vinegar or high-strength liquor into it, cover the jar, surround it with water, and leave it for a while, the whiteness inside will disappear. .

Linzhou flipped through the side dishes in the bucket with his chopsticks, found the chicken feet, and picked them up. He picked up the split chicken feet one by one and put them into the bowl.

"This method of splitting chicken feet must have been taught by pickled pepper chicken feet!"

He was thinking as he picked it up. In fact, in his memory, these pickled pepper chicken feet seemed to be whole.

Usually there are eight people at a table, and there are only eight on the plate.

But now, the world has changed!

I don’t know since when, a whole chicken foot was divided into several pieces!

When the dish is served, how many pieces of chicken feet are in it depends solely on the skill of the person serving it!

Muttering in his mind, he had already picked up about a dozen pieces of broken chicken feet. Putting them together, there should be three or four pieces.

After taking stock, Lin Zhou stopped taking off his chopsticks, put the lid back on, walked outside with the bowl, and gnawed on the chicken feet.
