168: There Are Fish Every Year (4 More)

Xia Xiaolan was very happy, and when she got home, she wondered how to eat herring.

Liu Yong and the others didn't know if she was really happy or not. Anyway, Xia Xiaolan cooperated with everything she said. Xia Xiaolan has no knife skills at all, but Li Fengmei is used to cooking. According to Xia Xiaolan, she deboned and sliced ​​a 15-pound herring, took half of the fish and cut it into thin slices, beat two eggs, and added cooking wine and ginger. , marinate with some salt, and hang it with gorgon powder and leave it there.

On the other hand, he was busy scraping the fish fillet with the other half of the fish and making balls.

Fish paste is very troublesome, you have to scrape the fish into mud with the back of the knife a little bit, and you have to remove the fish bones. Finally, add salt and eggs, and keep stirring the fish paste until it becomes gelatinous, and then you can make fish balls.

"This thing is too troublesome!"

Li Fengmei was sweating profusely on her head, so she asked her to make steamed buns and make some home-cooked dishes such as mutton stewed noodles. It’s the first time I’ve made such a cumbersome way to eat it myself, but Liu Zitao doesn’t eat spicy food. Even a 15-pound big herring can’t be eaten by a few people. Half of it is made into fish balls. Everyone can eat it fresh. After leaving the fish balls for two days, it will not go bad.

"Delicious food is of course troublesome. The way of eating in the city is more particular than that of our rural people."

Liu Yong had eaten this dish in a state-run restaurant, and his family is definitely not as good as the master chef of the state-run restaurant. If he can copy it a few points, it is not a waste of fish. Xia Xiaolan knew how to boil it. She took some kimchi out of the jar, chopped it with ginger and garlic, cut the dried chili into small pieces, and peeled some green onions.

The family is only in front of the Baixi Temple. The right and wrong have never happened.

Heat oil in a pan, sauté various seasonings until fragrant, Xia Xiaolan fiddled with a low-grade version of boiled fish.

Of course, it is not as delicious as the restaurant chef, and it looks good in appearance. With Li Fengmei and Liu Fen taking care of the heat, the fish fillets are tender enough and the taste is quite homely. Xia Xiaolan's boiled fish passed the test!

This dish is good anywhere, but it is very oil-intensive.

If the vegetable oil is less, the peppers will not be colored, and the fish will not taste good enough.

In the past, Li Fengmei was also reluctant to eat this kind of food. A pound of vegetable oil cost an extra pound per pound, and the salt was only 20 cents a pound. To make a pot of fish, at least a pound of oil was needed. Cooking fish like this can be distressed oil. Now, Li Fengmei is also bearish, 20 yuan a piece of fish is willing to buy, and the money for vegetable oil is nothing.

What's more, the money for selling fish is paid by the Xia family, which makes the boiled fish fillet more delicious.

Li Fengmei suddenly remembered something, "Just today, I remember that I wasn't called Xia Ziyu in the early years, wasn't it Xia Chunhua?"

"It's called Xia Chunhua. After graduating from junior high school, I thought my name was not elegant enough, so I changed it to Xia Ziyu."

Xia Xiaolan didn't take it out to laugh at Xia Ziyu. She thought it was not a big problem to change her name. Although Xia Xiaolan wouldn't do this... After all, it wasn't her who called "Xia Chunhua", and she couldn't understand the mood of the person involved.

Li Fengmei was not very happy, because Xia Ziyu's name was heavy with her son Liu Zitao. Taotao was six years old, and he took the name at the full moon, which was earlier than Xia Ziyu. There are so many people with the same name in the world, not to mention the word "zi" in the middle, even if they have the same first name and surname, Li Fengmei simply finds Xia Ziyu not pleasing to the eye, and can pick out faults everywhere.

After dinner, Liu Fen secretly asked Li Fengmei what was going on today.

Instead, Li Fengmei asked her:

"Do you want to remarry Xia Dajun? After a few months, what if you lose your temper!"

Liu Fen never thought of remarrying. She was very tired from selling oil residue, and her time was occupied by business and Xia Xiaolan, so she had no time to think about the past. A person may be accustomed to resignation and do not know how to resist, but once she has resisted once and tasted what it is like to be a human, why should she go back to be a cow and a horse for Xia!

Liu Fen's attitude was firm.

Li Fengmei laughed, "Then what are you afraid of, that Xiaolan can't think of trying to grab a man with Xia Chunhua again? How can a man who eats soft rice compare to Zhou Cheng! I like Zhou Cheng's child everywhere I see it."

Soldiers are not so free, except that they can't meet often, Zhou Cheng can't pick out a single fault there.

But not seeing each other often, for people in the 1980s, being in different places was not a problem. Many people's marriages are separated from each other, and it has been a lifetime. That is to say, in later generations, society has become too fast, and the temptation for both men and women has increased, and the marriage relationship has become particularly unstable when husband and wife are in different places.

Of course Liu Fen also likes Zhou Cheng very much. The young man's spirited appearance can please most mothers-in-law in the world, not to mention that he is very interested in Xia Xiaolan. Even if he can't ask for leave, he will ask his friends to visit Xiaolan in the business capital.

Women are like that, if you want to forget someone, then find someone better.

Li Fengmei was particularly touched. She had no regrets when she married Liu Yong. Except for being poorer in the past few years, the Liu family had no difficult parents-in-law to serve, and there was no unresolved relationship between concubines. Li Fengmei was the master of the family. Much better than the man before her.

After a few years of marriage, the two had a big fight just because they were blocked by the person who wanted the account during the Spring Festival the previous year. After the fight, Liu Yong went out to make money.

No, this year, the family's economic environment has suddenly improved, and the whole family has moved to the Shangdu. Li Fengmei's life has gone so smoothly.

Even if the man in front knelt on the ground and prayed, Li Fengmei went back in madness.

The Liu family eats big herring, and the Chen family also eats big herring.

Sister-in-law Chen is not so particular about cooking. She doesn't know how to cook fish in Sichuan, and she still knows how to paste spicy fish.

In later generations, most of the spicy fish in Shangdu was made of grass carp, not because the grass carp was the most authentic, but because the big herring was becoming more and more difficult to find, the restaurant could only choose to use grass carp as the main ingredient. Big herring from Xia Xiaolan

, It's just right to make spicy fish, and the steaming spicy fish is served, which one of the Chen family said is not delicious?

Chen Wangda put a piece of fish in his mouth. He prefers fish to poultry such as chickens and ducks. Elderly people have a hard time chewing on bones, but fish is toothless.

"That girl Xiaolan can't be wrong, she should be from Qijing Village."

Chen Wangda is not a gift from Tu Xia Xiaolan. The 20-dollar herring Chen family can't afford, but Xia Xiaolan will not come home empty-handed every time she returns to the village. Some things are a matter of heart. Xia Xiaolan knows how to be grateful and understands human feelings. of.

Those people in the village said that the homestead allocated for Xia Xiaolan and Liu Fen was too big, and those idiots knew the shit.

Without this homestead, Xia Xiaolan came to Qijing Village halfway to settle down, what sense of belonging do you have for the village? Looking at the girl's arrogance, she might not be able to return to the university in the blink of an eye. Now Xia Xiaolan has gone far, but her roots are in Qijing Village.

The current college student is Jin Gui, isn't Dahe Village also watching Xiaolan's cousin pass the university entrance examination, and then holding one and stepping on the other desperately?

It's amazing to have a college student in Dahe Village, and Qijing Village will soon have two college students!

College students are different from college students. It takes ten or eight years to see who is more powerful. Chen Wangda is just waiting for that day. Regardless of whether it is Xia Xiaolan or his grandson Chen Qing, maybe it will bring new changes to the backward Qijing Village.

He had never read a book, but he remembered what the old leader said back then, that if you pick up a gun, you can defend the country, but reading can govern the country well.
