1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 491 Little October watches "Dragon Ball" and fried snacks
Facing the cold wind and the white snow on his head, Luo Tao held the little girl in his arms and walked towards Houhai with his skating equipment.

The little girl was wrapped tightly in a thick cotton coat, revealing a pair of big twinkling eyes.

"Girl, are you cold?" Luo Tao asked her fondly.

He sighed and said, "Dad, I'm not cold at all." This was somewhat duplicitous.

Luo Tao had no choice but to feel helpless when he saw this. In order to be able to skate, this kid would lie without any trouble.

After passing Prince Gong's Mansion, Luo Tao's arms felt a little sore and he said to her, "Girl, let's come down and walk by ourselves, okay?"

She turned away as soon as she heard this, very unwillingly. Luo Tao had long expected her attitude.

You can't deal with her with force, you can only deal with her wisely. After all, she is only two years old, not even a little kid.

"...But Dad is very tired now. If you don't come down, Dad will have to rest here for a while... When other children see you being hugged by Dad, they will all call you a little lazy pig."

Only after coaxing and deceiving like this, the little girl was willing to come down and hold her father's hand, and continue walking the rest of the way by herself.

During the 900-meter journey, the father and daughter walked very slowly. Luo Tao took the little guy's hand and was not impatient, and followed her small steps towards the ice of Houhai little by little.

This exercise educates children little by little and cannot be rushed for success. Education is the most important thing about the foundation.

"What's the matter, tired from walking?" Seeing that the little girl who was running around in the alley suddenly stopped for some reason, Luo Tao hurriedly asked.

She pointed at the Guangliang door and said excitedly, "Dad, there is a dog here."

Because she is so familiar with pomegranate at home, the little girl is not afraid of dogs at all. In her understanding, all dogs in the world should be as obedient and well-behaved as her own pomegranate.

Luo Tao took a few steps to catch up, and glanced at a little puppy standing inside the door. "Hurry up, or mother will come to urge us to go home again."

At the mention of Zhu Lin, the little girl immediately felt motivated to move forward. She walked through Dafengxiang Hutong with cheerful steps and arrived at the southern edge of Houhai.

For safety reasons, the father and daughter did not skate on the wide ice, but chose to skate less than ten meters away.

The central area of ​​Houhai has long been surrounded by a safe skating area, which is the favorite of some young people who are bold and skilled in skating.

It is said that people with advanced skills are bold, and they have fewer things to worry about when skating. Sometimes staying away from them means staying away from danger.

This skating mount is specially made for little girls. As soon as it is placed on the ice, it shows the aura of a king.

Perhaps the skating mount's domineering words revealed too much, and it might have frightened the little girl. She really wanted to try taking two steps on the ice by herself, but unfortunately, a completely different situation happened next.

Without Luo Tao's constant protection, she was doomed to suffer on this cunning ice surface, and she would fall on her back. Because the little guy was wearing thick and bulky clothes, the friction generated after her body touched the ice surface did not affect her to continue lying down at all. on the ice.

Waiting for the rescue of father Luo Tao...

Luo Tao came over and joked with the little guy, "What's wrong with you?"

She lay on the ice, raised her head and looked at Luo Tao, smiled brightly, and said innocently, "I don't know either."

He picked up the little one and placed her on the king's throne, taking safety precautions.

Just then he took the little girl for an ice and snow carnival on the ice. At this time, light snow was still falling, and Luo Tao's footsteps accelerated on the ice of Houhai, polluting the purest white snow.

Under the pressure of time, the father and daughter could only pack their bags in a hurry, leaving behind dense straight lines and ellipses on the ice, as well as the laughter that shook the snowflakes.

The father and daughter first drank a bowl of chicken soup at Han's Noodles to warm themselves up, and then rushed home dragging their tired bodies after being happy.

On the way back, the little girl was obviously much stronger. After walking half the distance, maybe a good mood was a stimulant.

In mid-January, Xiao October ushered in the first final exam in his life. Before the exam, Luo Tao specially warned him again and again.

"October, we agreed that we can only take No. 4 or No. 3 exams this time, and we can't take No. 2 exams, you know?" Luo Tao said to him earnestly.

The little guy was very impatient and replied weakly: "I know, you said it three times."

"Hey, I'm afraid you're ignorant. We can't fall behind in our studies, but we can't appear too strong either...Dad, what I'm teaching you now is something you couldn't learn in school."

This sounds very abnormal, but it is very realistic. Schools only teach people knowledge, but they don’t teach people how to survive?
Knowledge changes destiny. This sentence is indeed a wise saying, but it only exists on the surface without explaining the core. What really changes destiny is "survival skills".

If you have knowledge but don’t understand how to use it, this is dead reading.

Luo Tao doesn't need a son who can only talk about scriptures and talk about morality. He needs a successor who is both good and evil.

People who follow the rules too much are definitely not suitable to be at the helm.

"I know. Dad, can you go out for a while, and then you can tell me your truth after I finish reading this book." Xiao October looked at Luo Tao helplessly.

Facing his son who disliked his verbosity, Luo Tao could only stand up in frustration and glanced at the thick "Kangxi Dictionary" before leaving.

Do you want to finish this book?Then it would become public knowledge.

Having already stepped out, he thought of something, stepped back again, scratched the door frame and said, "What about that? If you feel cold, go to my study."

This year, all the kangs in the Luo family have been retired. Now, in order to prepare for the National Games, burning kangs has been explicitly prohibited in the capital city.

This is a general trend, and it is impossible for the Luo family to do something special.

Renovations had been carried out before October, and the fire vents were sealed. Since the Luo family were used to sleeping on the kang, the streets were reasonable and did not burn the fire. They continued to devote the rest of their lives.

Now all the rooms that can be lived in at home are heated. In the past two years, the foundation of the capital has been very effective. The newspapers have repeatedly reported that the current boilers of the Beijing Zuojiazhuang Heating Plant have added a heating capacity of 75 million kcal/hour. .

Benefiting tens of thousands of residents in Beijing, the famous SJS Thermal Power Plant is currently under construction and is said to have a heating capacity of 600 million kcal/hour.

The results are very gratifying, but I still have to complain about it, that is, the heating temperature is very abnormal, rising and falling.

In order to overcome this small difficulty, Luo Tao would still light the stove in the study during the day to nip problems in the bud.

"Well, I'll go after dinner." Little October still looked at the thick dictionary intently.

As soon as Luo Tao left, the boy secretly took out his current favorite "Dragon Ball" from the bookcase. This is a juvenile comic work serialized by Toriyama Akira, a cartoonist from Japan, in "Weekly Shonen Jump" magazine ( The time is from 1984 to 1995).

In the 80s, no one in China had read "Dragon Ball" because it had just been serialized.

"Dragon Ball" is the childhood of children in the 90s, and the childhood memory of children in the 80s is "Calabash Baby".Seven flowers on a vine...

Why Little October can watch the Little Days anime that is actually far away from us is entirely because of family connections.

Because Luo Tao needs to know the latest information from the outside world, Luo Feng and the others send a lot of books and materials every month (important information is sent by phone and fax). As long as they have some brains, they will naturally not miss the gift of Little October. .

This is how "Dragon Ball" came into the hands of Xiao October.

The little guy was congratulating himself for his cleverness, but unfortunately, he looked too young in front of an old Yin who had been hunting eagles all year round.

Little October, who was reading with gusto, didn't feel anything at all. There was a scary face staring at him outside the window, who kept his head down while reading.

Luo Tao stood outside the window without saying a word, looking at him silently, wondering when this clever little guy would show off to him.

"What are you doing? Come and help."

The peaceful scene created by the father and son was broken by Zhu Lin who didn't know it.

Luo Tao did not reply to Zhu Lin immediately, but smiled kindly and looked at Little October in the room. The look of horror on his face was a beautiful scene in Luo Tao's eyes.

He couldn't bear to miss it, and he couldn't bear to pretend that nothing happened.

"Come out!" He waved to him.

Little October secretly complained about why he was so unlucky, and walked out honestly with the book.

Seeing that Luo Tao ignored her, Zhu Lin's voice became much louder, with a strong threat in his tone, "I'm calling you, do you hear me?"

"I heard it. You should be busy first. I'll be there in a moment." Luo Tao responded softly, moving a thousand pounds in four ounces.

Zhu Lin didn't know why, and he didn't know what was tumbling in the pot in the kitchen. He didn't allow her and Luo Tao to continue talking, so he had to say: "Then hurry up."

Xiao October walked up to Luo Tao angrily, holding his hands behind his back.

Luo Tao said without hesitation: "Take out the things and let me take a look."

With great difficulty, he handed "Dragon Ball" to Luo Tao, with rich writing and extremely natural traditional Chinese characters.

"Dragon Balls?" Then he flipped through a few more pages, including Sun Wukong, Bulma, Kame Sennin, all in a mess.

Luo Tao carried forward the good ethos of asking when he didn't understand, "Is this from Xiangjiang?"

"No, it's from my childhood." Little October said weakly.

"Hey! You kid has grown up. Now you don't look at the Chinese monkeys, but at the monkeys in their childhood. Besides, what kind of good monkeys can they have..." Luo Tao said something about the monkeys in his childhood very manically.

It’s no wonder that Luo Tao complained about them, it’s because they were too bad at “monkeys”. Last year, he watched the Little Days’ version of Journey to the West, and the visual and mental damage caused to him is still lingering.

Xiao Shiyue didn't refute, and just listened quietly. In fact, he watched "Dragon Ball" because of his curiosity.

"Don't read these useless books..." Luo Tao felt that he was done with the training, so he returned the book to him, "Here, go back to the house, pack up, and go to the kitchen to help your mother."

"Yeah!" He endured the joy and returned to the house.

Ignoring this small episode, Luo Tao walked into the kitchen and joined the hot frying business.

As the New Year is approaching, my family uses their free time to prepare fried foods for the New Year, such as fried twists and fried pork chops.

It is also fried noodles, the difference between Fried Mahua and Pai Cha is: Pai Cha’er has dead noodles, Ma Hua’er needs half-baked noodles, Pai Cha’er is salty, generally sesame seeds are added, Ma Hua’er is sweet , you need to add sugar; the braised fork can be served as a wine or dish, and the twist is generally eaten as a snack.

When it comes to fried delicacies in the capital, we cannot talk about fried sazi, one of the thirteen unique snacks in the capital.

Sazi is an ancient food, formerly known as Hanju, and is widely distributed across the country.

Sanzi is made by rubbing noodles with oil and water, but it needs a certain skill to fry them crispy and delicious, and have a good shape.

In addition to the above three types, there are: fried vegetarian meatballs, fried meatballs, fried tofu, fried crunch, fried lotus root box, fried eggplant box, fried noodle sticks, fried rice cakes, etc...

The pai fork that has just come out of the oil pan to cool down is very crispy. You must use your hands when eating, because it is brittle and slag.

Pai Cha'er, a fried snack in Beijing, is simple and easy to make. Just roll out the risen dough into thin slices, but turning it into the ideal shape requires unique and skilled techniques. It is a good dish to go with wine.

Luo Tao was rolling out the dough and eating it, not caring about the dry flour on his hands.

Little October, who came late, also followed suit, with his sleeves rolled up high, busying around, and at the same time acting like a young master, sitting quietly by the stove as a cook.

After Xiao Shiyue finished eating a piece and was about to take another piece, Luo Tao lightly slapped his outstretched chubby hand, "Hey! You don't know how to do any work, you just know how to eat."

When Xiao October faced Luo Tao's severe criticism and delicious food, he still chose his position very clearly, "Humph! Why can you eat it but I can't?"

Under Luo Tao's surveillance, his little chubby hand blatantly took away another piece of skewers.

Su Guilan held the long chopsticks used to flip the food in the frying pan and looked sideways at the dispute between the father and son. Luo Tao, who was as alert as a rabbit, naturally felt an aura that was powerful enough to make him kneel down and surrender, surrounding him.

This is also why Xiao Shiyue dared to provoke his father Luo Tao so confidently.

Luo Tao looked slightly embarrassed for a moment, but he still wanted to save face and said to Xiao October: "You should eat less fried food... grab some vegetarian meatballs for me."

Naturally, I defended my position in front of little October.

Little October did not discount Luo Tao's instructions, and obediently served a bowl of fried vegetarian meatballs.

This vegetarian meatball is Luo Tao's favorite, seasoned to taste, a little shredded radish or other vegetables are added to the flour, and after deep-fried, it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, not to mention how delicious it is.

In addition to using flour, there is another way to eat these fried vegetarian meatballs, which is to use bean dregs made from soy milk as the raw material. The vegetarian meatballs fried with bean dregs are more fragrant and crisper than the vegetarian meatballs fried with flour.

After a while, Little October had a mouthful of oil and looked around, looking for any fried food in the kitchen that he hadn't eaten before.
