Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

"By the way, brother, we are going to the big market tomorrow, will you go?" The eldest brother asked Lin Yi and Yingzi: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the big market is also the busiest. It must be fun, you can go and have a look."

Lin Yi looked at Yingzi and asked Yingzi if he wanted to go.

If Yingzi goes, he will go.

If Yingzi didn't go, he wouldn't bother to join in the fun.

To be honest, after seeing the prosperity of later generations, Lin Yi was not very interested in going to the market in the 80s.

Although the big market held years ago is the most prosperous market in a year.

As long as you have money, you can buy all the New Year goods you need for the New Year at the market.

Spring Festival couplets, window grilles, lanterns, calendars, roasted seeds and nuts specialties from the north and south, dry goods, various beef, sheep and pork, chilled food, fruits, etc.

Of course, daily necessities such as clothes are indispensable.

Even in this era, the aesthetics highly valued colorful things, especially in the Northeast.

Thick military coats and various floral cotton-padded jackets are the mainstream of this era.

"I've been to Daji before, but I always sold some of my family's prey for money. I haven't been to a serious Jiji yet." Yingzi thought for a while and said.

Apart from these, she had no impression of the big market.

"Ah, we always buy some food when we go to the market, such as candied haws, marshmallows, rice cakes, popcorn and so on. Yingzi, have you ever eaten these when you go to the market?"

Lin Yi asked.

Yingzi shook his head.

"I have only eaten candied haws, but that was when I was young and my parents were still alive."

From then on, Yingzi didn't like these snacks.

Especially knowing that hunting involves risking one's life and going into the mountains to fight for one's life. It is not easy to make some money, so Yingzi will not spend money recklessly.

The sweetest thing she has ever eaten in her life is the white rabbit Ji Ji bought her a while ago.

There were also the snacks that Ji Yi sent home these days, which moved Yingzi very much.

Ji Yi squeezed Yingzi's hand: "It's okay. In the future, if you have me, I will buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Actually, I feel that I am very content if I can have enough food to eat and warm clothes. How can I expect to live a life of fine clothing and fine food? In the past, that was the life of a rich lady. I No, I'm just a country girl." Yingzi looked at Ji Yi and smiled sweetly: "The life I live now is the happiest in the world."

"The good times are still to come. Where are we now?" Lin Yi smiled slightly.

After returning from a visit to their two brothers' homes, Lin Yi and Yingzi also made a decision to go to the market tomorrow.

Experience the Northeastern collection of the 80s.

When I got home, the snow clams were soaked and ready to be cooked.

Braised snow clams are very simple and not difficult at all.

Prepare the required ingredients in advance, put the soaked snow clams and ginger slices into the pot, add clear soup, and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.

Then add some salt to taste and cook for another 5 minutes.

A simple stewed snow clam is complete.

Rich in nutrients and delicious in taste.

In addition to braised snow clams, snow clams can also be combined with other ingredients to make dishes of various flavors.

There are still a lot of these snow clams sent by Zhuzi, and they should be able to be cooked twice more.

Lin Yi plans to try dishes such as clam stewed chicken, snow clam stewed pork ribs, and snow clam stewed tofu next time.

This is the first time for Yingzi to taste braised snow clams.

The taste of snow clam is a bit sweet and fishy, ​​a bit like chicken.

The taste is tender, delicate and delicious.

"Brother Yi, this tastes amazing." Yingzi's eyes lit up and she was full of praise for the braised snow clam.

Not only Yingzi, but also everyone else admired Lin Yi's cooking skills.

Snow clam is a good high-end ingredient, but it also needs to be cooked well.Lin Yi told them a little trick, which is that when cooking snow clams, you need to pay attention to the combination of ingredients and the control of heat.

To maintain the delicious taste and nutritional value of snow clams.

The rest of the people will listen to your words as if they were listening to one sentence.

There is no difference whether this is said or not.

Of course, cooking is all about hands-on work and it’s all about the details.

The same dish, even if it uses exactly the same ingredients, may taste very different when made by different people.

If the order of adding ingredients is different, the final taste will be different.

Ji Yi told his family about going to the market tomorrow.

So the army going to the market grew stronger.

It ended up being a whole family outing.

Well, very nice.

But when it comes to going to the market, the more people there are, the more lively it is.

In the 80s, the whole family basically went out to catch a big market.

Because we had to go to the market the next day, everyone went to bed very early that day.

The next day, Lin Yi drove the donkey cart and led everyone towards the market.

One donkey cart was not enough, so Zhu Zhu went to the village to borrow another.

Arriving at the market, everyone was quickly attracted by the dazzling array of products and stalls.

Northeastern frozen pears, "candied haws" that can be frozen in anything, "exploding" popcorn, blood sausage, golden silk pupae, etc.

There are even people selling rat poison.

The small vendor who sells rat medicine is very eloquent. He opened his stall and talked endlessly about his self-made jingle: "Comrades, listen to me, rats are really harmful. Come on. Kang, crawl into your bed, bite your "Chen Liang". Eat your rice, your beans, and your old bacon. Rat medicine is worthless, a pack is only worth a dime, so save yourself a small popsicle. Smoking less brand-name cigarettes, taking the medicine to the house to keep it safe, all the rats will be finished, all! Complete! Eggs!"

The onlookers laughed loudly.

This is probably the earliest hawking model.

Much earlier than the Jiangnan Leather Factory.

This sales model is still very effective and can attract the attention of many people even decades later.

Now is the time to set up street stalls.

Li Xiuhe also went to buy a few packs of rat medicine.

Rat poison is indeed a necessity in this era.

The rats in the Northeast are fat and big. They always come out in the middle of the night and chew up a lot of things in the house.

Ji Yi told his parents and took Yingzi for a walk somewhere else.

As the group got better, they gathered back in the donkey cart during meal time, and then went to have lunch together.

Yingzi and Lin Yi held hands and walked around the market.

Holding hands was suggested by Ji Ji, and the reason was very reasonable. There were too many people going to the market. If one of them didn't pay attention and was scattered by the crowd, it would be easy to lose sight of the other person.

Faced with such a reason, Yingzi had no choice but to hand over her little hand obediently.

However, there were indeed many people in the market. They were so crowded that it was difficult to move forward.

We can only go forward along with the flow of people.

When I see something I like, I stop in front of that stall and talk to the stall owner.

After a while, Lin Yi had two more bunches of candied haws in his hand and handed one to Yingzi.

Yingzi took a lick. It was sweet and delicious, the taste of her childhood. (End of chapter)
