Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 74 Grilled Fish
It's another Sunday, and there are many more children in the yard. People often play in front of Zhu Xuefeng's fish tank and watch the fish. This has become a repertoire of the children in the yard.

Zhu Xuefeng never cared, he just smiled and watched the children play, as long as they didn't fall into the vat.

I went to Uncle Niu's house and learned about the production situation of the two sets of drawings. Uncle Niu had already bought the materials and started working on them, so there are no surprises so far.

After briefly chatting with the couple for a while, he teased Niu Xiaoben, gave him two white rabbits, and left. He looked at Xu Damao's house, which was half-covered. He must be recuperating from his injuries. This bad boy has also been declining during this period. He is possessed by a god and gets beaten up from time to time.

The door of the deaf old lady was still closed, but a pair of cloudy eyes under the window were secretly looking at Zhu Xuefeng, but Zhu Xuefeng didn't know it.

Entering the middle courtyard, I saw Qin Huaiyuru carrying a package and about to go out. There was a man in front of him, who looked like a villager. He was wearing a straw hat, a sleeveless jacket, and his trousers were a bit shorter. Patches, a pair of shoes whose true appearance cannot be seen, the big toe of the right foot stubbornly exposed.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xuefeng still said hello.

"Sister Qin, where are you going?"

Qin Huairu looked back and saw Zhu Xuefeng, a little at a loss. Since the last time she was rejected face to face, Qin Huairu had been avoiding meeting Zhu Xuefeng. She didn't know how to face it, but she was really good at heart and calmed down immediately.

"Oh, brother, this is a message from my father in the countryside, asking me to go home and take a look. He said that my mother is sick, and I am anxious to go back and take a look."

Qin Huairu didn't say anything more and hurried away after speaking.

It seems that the mother in the countryside is seriously ill. She is already at this point. It should be dark when she gets home. She didn't take the child with her in a hurry.

Go home and look at the fish in the fish tank.

The big fish has been raised for a long time. Last time I asked Shazhu to cook a table of dishes. This afternoon I also made a grilled fish for him to see.

Zhu Xuefeng biked to the market in the morning and bought some seasonings, but he still couldn't get any tofu or bean sprouts. He went there late.

Dinner was not complicated. I followed the old rules. I cooked shredded wild boar with roasted peppers, grilled fish, steamed eggs with sea rice, and steamed two potatoes. Add some seasoning and minced chili peppers, and make them paste. Make it into a puree, add juice, add green vegetables and a plate of cucumbers, and make six.

Zhu Xuesong and Zhu Xuemei had long been attracted by the aroma, and kept looking around. In fact, there were only two hard dishes, and the rest were just a handful, but this was quite rich.

There is no school today. All the grown-ups and little kids are playing in the yard. There are several in front of the water tank. But at this moment, Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangfu are lying on the window looking at it. It is so fragrant that they are attracted by the scent. of.

"Brother Feng, what are you doing? How delicious is it?"

"Liberation, you are a fisherman. You catch it yourself. Your dad is the master at this. Let him give you fishing rods to do it too."

"Come down, come down, you have broken all the windows in our house."

The little sister was chasing people outside, and the two boys came down and left angrily. At this time, boys generally don't like to argue with girls.

Zhu Xuefeng still had a lot of ingredients, and he didn't dare to make it too complicated. It was just a simple thing, but there were people in the yard poking around, so he had to change his mind and get two together. He originally wanted to grill a wild boar steak.

"Brother, who is coming today? There are so many dishes, how long do we have to wait?"

"Waiting for you, Brother Zhuzi, I asked him to make a table last time. Let's make a table this time. It should be soon."

"Brother, when did you know how to cook so many dishes? You can even cook fish. Did you learn this from Chef He?"

After the younger brothers and sisters ate the dishes cooked by Zhu Zhu, they were very impressed. As long as they were not in front of each other, they would basically call him Chef He. Sometimes they would also call him Chef He in person, but Sha Zhu was quite happy to listen.

Zhu Xuesong felt strange that no one in his family knew how to cook fish, so he didn't buy fish.

"My eldest brother was watching people grilling fish at the beach. When he came back, he thought about grilling grass carp. This is the first time. It should taste good."

.........

Not long after waiting, Shazhu came back happily, carrying two lunch boxes in his left hand, shaking every step.

They were coming back from a wedding banquet for someone. The wedding banquets in the capital were all arranged at noon. They had to wait for the guests to leave and clean up before they could come back.

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng standing at the door, he asked strangely.

"Brother, what are you waiting for?" "Brother Zhuzi, I'm just waiting for you. You go back and put away the things first, and then bring Sister Yuyu over here. I've prepared the dishes and I'm just waiting for you."

When Silly Zhu and He Yuyu came in, they found that the dining table was indeed full, a whole table of dishes, and they quickly closed the door.

"Brother, we can't do this, otherwise we will lose all our wealth! Besides, how many people will be jealous if people see that your family always eats good food?"

Silly Zhu's little eyes widened to their maximum size. This was a sincere reminder that Zhu Xuefeng now had a lot of ingredients and cooked some meat dishes from time to time, which made him jealous a lot.

Fortunately, almost every household has dried shrimps and scallops, but I just can’t bear to have it like Zhu Xuefeng.

Zhu Xuefeng accepted the instruction humbly, "I will change it next time, I will change it next time," pointing to the seat.

"Brother Zhuzhu, Sister Yuyu, I want you to have a taste of my craftsmanship today. Let's make a deal first. I won't compete with Brother Zhuzi. I am a professional and I am an amateur."

Silly Zhu saw a large fish on the table. The edges were a little browned, and it was covered with small red peppers. There were also a lot of Sichuan peppercorns. There were some green vegetables and potato slices next to it, and it was sprinkled with scallions. It must have been watered. A layer of hot oil, what a waste.

The materials were incomplete and Zhu Xuefeng scraped them together casually. Beans are hard to buy now.

Silly Zhu was a little confused, "Brother, what are you doing? I've never seen it before."

Zhu Xuefeng was a little proud, "I figured this out myself. I call it grilled fish. You can taste it."

Silly Zhu stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite. Well, it was numb and spicy, not bad, authentic, and strong enough to give four comments in one breath.

"It's numb and spicy, a bit like Sichuan food. I have to think about it. It tastes really good, but some people may not be able to eat it."

In the previous life, this was the best. Zhu Xuefeng knew that Sha Zhu was right, but he couldn't eat it now. He probably wouldn't be able to let it go after eating it a few more times. After seeing it too many times, he was sweating from the spicy food, and his mouth and chopsticks couldn't stop. Besides, hot pot is not as good as hot pot. Hot pot, when will the whole hot pot...

He looked at his younger brothers and sisters, and then at He Yuyu. They both held chopsticks and did not move, especially the younger brothers and sisters, who watched eagerly.

"Let's move on, you still need to persuade us."

He turned around and took out a bottle of Wuliangye from the cabinet, and waved it towards Shazhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, let's drink this today. Sister Yuyu, you can try it too."

Okay, this is a name, and I give myself some white wine every time. He Yuyu muttered in his heart, but this wine is really delicious, better than drinking his brother's wine secretly at home.

"Brother, okay, you can get this drink if you need a ticket, it's Changxing Market!"

Pointing to his cup, "Here, pour it. Thanks to my brother, I will drink some good wine today."

Zhu Xuefeng turned to look at his younger brothers and sisters.

"Old rules, Arctic Ocean!"

……

Sure enough, after a while, the facts proved that in the face of delicious food, both numbness and spicy food can be overcome. Silly Zhu was better off, while his younger siblings and He Yuyu were all sweating and kept drinking soda.

He shouted that it was too numb and spicy, and his lips were trembling, but he still couldn't help but reach out to the grilled fish with his chopsticks.

……

Opposite the third uncle's house
"Master, Zhu Xuefeng seems to have prepared a lot of dishes, and he is really good at cooking."

"This kid is a character. The old Zhu family is not in ruins. It seems to be getting better and better. Look at their vegetable garden. It won't be long before it is full of vegetables."

"You said he doesn't go to work or go to school, and studies at home every day. Where does he get the money to eat and drink?"

"Old lady, don't think about these useless things. The big fish he killed was caught by himself. The compensation given by the Jia family will be enough for him to struggle for a long time, not to mention it is a pension and a donation."
