Chapter 64 Treat
“Yes, yes, that’s the one, you can buy some in and sell them.”
“Hey old man, I’m just running a small business, but I can’t afford it.” The boss said : "Besides, that stuff is no longer produced."
After buying a bunch of needles and thread, Zhou Zhi started pushing her grandma to the old street in Linjiang.
The market on Xinjie Street is lively, but it is not accessible to wheelchairs. There are also fresh vegetables for sale along the old street, which are picked and sold by farmers on the outskirts of the city.
Grandma also likes the atmosphere of the old street and has a keen eye for picking vegetables, which are much better than what Zhou Zhi bought before.
There are also a lot of aquatic products sold along the river. Jiachuan people still don’t like to eat river shrimps very much. Even water rice, oxtail and flower loach... These aquatic products that were very expensive in later generations are not at all now. It's not expensive, and Jiachuan still calls it "small miscellaneous fish".
Zhou Zhi has now become a small wealthy man. How can he let it go after seeing this: "Let's just forget about the whole river delicacy feast tomorrow..."
"I'm afraid there won't be enough oil."
< br>“It doesn’t matter, the fish will be more delicious when cooked with difluorocarbon oil! Then buy another piece of suet!”
Hanging the vegetables and fish she bought on the wheelchair, Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Grandma, with this cart, shopping for vegetables is very convenient!"
Grandma is also very happy today. If you really want to count, Grandma He has been locked up in the small dormitory building of the Sugar and Liquor Company for ten years.
In the past ten years, I can count the number of times I have been able to go shopping like today.
When I got home, I helped my grandma out of the wheelchair. Zhou Zhi was still collecting the chair there, so my grandma held on to the wall and scurried toward her room with her little feet.
"Hey, grandma, don't fall!" Zhou Zhi was startled and hurried to help him: "Why are you in such a hurry..."
Grandma was impatient: "Relieve yourself! I was so anxious downstairs just now!"
"..."
Early the next morning, Yang He arrived first, and the baby just said hello when he went back. , and then on the pretext that school was about to start, he took the first boat in the morning and came over.
Feng Xueshan and Zhou Zhi live close to each other, and they came here early: "Husband, have you bought the vegetables? There are people who came earlier than me!"
Feng Xueshan and Yang He have never met before. , Zhou Zhi introduced to the two of them: "This is my high school classmate, Yang He, who basically lives at my house during the holidays. Monk, this is my junior high school classmate, Feng Xueshan. I came so early to help cook."
"Bah!" Feng Xueshan was never polite to Zhou Zhi, but she had already begun to move toward the kitchen: "Let me see what I bought... Why are they all fish?"
"We are having a river fish banquet today. How is it?" Zhou Zhi was very proud.
"You are just a fool." Feng Xueshan said decisively: "They are all the hot dishes, no, no, no, no, it's time to take action! Aprons, sleeves!"
After saying this, Zhou Zhi reacted Come over: "Oh, yes! Fortunately, I boiled the oil last night!"
"Did you not bake the shrimps and fish last night?"
"Ah no..."
"Then wrap the small fish in dough and fry it! The shrimp will be boiled in a while!"
"But there is oil residue, why should we fry the fish?"
“The oil residue is finally fried in lotus white!”
“That makes sense!”
Next, Zhou Zhi and Yang He were ordered around by Feng Xueshan. They took out the pickled ginger and peppers and chopped them into a large bowl. Dozens of garlic cloves could not escape. The cabbage was only allowed to tear off the leaves, chop the veins and marinate for a while to make small pickles. It's open at her place At the beginning, I put the small fish into the oil pan, and cut the carp into pieces and fried it. Then I braised it in braise, fried the rice balls, and then mixed it with the oil residue and cooked it dry...
Catfish is cooked with garlic. Use cubes and yellow pepper cubes to make pickled cabbage and fish soup.
That’s already five big dishes, one kimchi and one stir-fried vegetable, plus a steamed egg, sausages and bacon are all ready-cooked, cut into platters and heated together, there are two more.
If you operate two pots at the same time... Huh? Zhou Zhi discovered that it didn’t take much time.
Yang He was so impressed by Zhou Zhi's love affair that Feng Xueshan was beautiful, hard-working and a good cook, yet she came to help so early in the morning.
This is really a great hall and a great kitchen.
I can’t ask for more. If I could bring such a daughter-in-law back to my family, I would dare to walk sideways in Baimi Township!
Zhou Zhi was on the side helping to prepare the ingredients.
There are a lot of ingredients required for roasting fish, including chopped bean sprouts and oily residue for dry roasting, scallion knots, celery, and chopped bean sprouts for braised bean paste, sauerkraut and bean sprouts for pickled fish...
Not long after, the best friends also arrived, and they arrived together. Xiong Jiao and He Yongmei started chattering and making trouble with Feng Xueshan.
They said they were helping, but actually they didn't do anything.
Fang Wenyu, Yan Xiao, and He Yongmei all knew Yang He, and Yang He relaxed now.
Feng Xueshan's aura as the half-mistress of the house just now put a lot of pressure on him.
It was almost noon before Wei Fei and Wei Yi arrived, along with Mr. Qiao.
"Where did you meet?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"New highway intersection." Wei Yi said.
"New highway intersection?" Mr. Qiao lives in the dormitory of the Bureau of Culture and Education next to the school. It's downhill to Baihua Pavilion, which is not convenient...
"I'm going to Xinhua Bookstore today. "Yes." Mr. Qiao replied seriously: "School is about to start. Let's go see if there is any new information."
"Elbow, come here and start the fire!" Fishing.
"Then you guys can chat. Sister, feel free to do whatever you want. There is no need to be polite to them." Zhou Zhi said hello and hurried to the kitchen.
Two people worked at the same time. The first thing to make was the fish soup. The soup will cool down slowly. Zhou Zhi made the braised carp cubes with bean paste because it was juicy.
When stir-frying, first throw all the garlic in and fry it, then fish out most of it for Feng Xueshan to use later. After the sauerkraut and fish soup was cooked, Feng Xueshan started making the braised catfish with garlic. Halfway through, the braised fish pieces were ready for the pot, and she started making the dry-roasted rice dumplings again.
When the garlic-roasted catfish came out of the pot, the two of them changed pots. Feng Xueshan was responsible for the final seasoning of the dry-roasted fish, while Zhou Zhi started frying the cabbage with oil residue.
After the cabbage is fried, add steamed eggs to the pot to steam the platter. Half-steam the sausages and bacon and serve them first. After Feng Xueshan dry-cooks them, add the boiling water in the thermos bottle to the pot and boil the river shrimps. Finally, add the steamed eggs. Arriving at the table at the same time.
The two swords combined are invincible.
The food had already begun over there, and Yan Xiao saw the two people coming in with the last two dishes: "Panda, the virtuous one has been outclassed..."
Xiong Jiao gave Yan Xiao a chopstick tip: "Why are you comparing yourself to me! Isn't your Yongmei the same!"
"Oh..." Yan Xiao was very cheeky: "Yongmei and I are from the same family, what about you?"
"Yan Xiao, please stop making trouble!" Zhou Zhi touched a wine bottle from under the TV cabinet The bottom came out, but it was the leftover Laojiao special song from the New Year dinner: "Let's drink this today."
"Good wine!" Wei Fei said first.
Dad usually doesn’t drink at home. He only drinks when guests come. Knowing that Zhou Zhi is going to treat a guest today at noon, they simply don’t come back, leaving space for Zhou Zhi and his classmates.
This is why everyone likes to come and play at Zhouzhi’s house.
The weather in Jiachuan is hot, and many people drink cold porridge in the summer. Later, when beer became popular, many people just drank beer without even cooking.
In addition, Jiachuan is located at the mouth of the Hongshui River. The Hongshui River has another name, "Meijiu River".
Therefore, children in Jiachuan have been exposed to alcohol very early, and almost all high school students have never drank alcohol.
Including girls.
Of course, it is impossible to open up and drink drunkenly, it is just a taste.
Pouring the wine for everyone, Zhou Zhi picked up the wine glass: "Panda, pick up the wine glass, let's start with you today."
"What are you doing?" Panda picked up the wine glass. Get up and open your eyes: "Why start with me?"
"I used to like to make random jokes, but now that we are older, we can no longer make such jokes." Zhou Zhi asked everyone: "Do you think so?"
Everyone nodded with a smile.
“You still know?” Xiong Jiao said angrily.
“Although there is all kinds of helplessness and reluctance...” After Zhou Zhi pretended to be his girlfriend and broke up with her, the man was disappointed, but still had to maintain his grace: “Panda, take care of the road ahead, and I wish you find happiness! ”
Except for Mr. Qiao, Wei Yi, Yang He, who looked confused, everyone else at the table burst out laughing.
Xiong Jiao was holding the cup and couldn't laugh or cry.
Why don't you clink your glass with this damn guy? It's like hinting that he can continue to make that joke in the future;
Clink your glass with this guy, which is equivalent to cooperating with him to finish this play. "Breakup drama".
Finally, he gritted his teeth and clinked glasses with Zhou Zhi: "Damn it! You are so disgusting!"
After Wei Fei explained to Wei Yi and the others, Wei Yi couldn't stop laughing. : "Elbow! You are too wicked!"
Both of them put down their cups, and then Zhou Zhi greeted everyone: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, oh, they are already half eaten...Xue Shan, you have worked hard today, please eat something quickly."
He Yongmei said: "That's it. , I suggest that everyone pay tribute to Xueshan first."
"Hey! I cooked half of today's dishes!"
"Wait a moment!"
"Then I'll be with you, come on, everyone respects Xueshan! Continue next time!”
After stirring up the atmosphere, Zhou Zhi scooped up a portion of steamed eggs and gave it to grandma.
Grandma can't go to a table like this. She can't stand the noisiness of the gang and would rather eat alone inside.
"My dear grandson, please leave me alone. My dear daughter gave me a scoop and let me eat it first. It's almost finished."
"This is also done by Xueshan, it's so delicious. Juice, different from the usual vinegar at home Like, you try it."
"Xue Shan is really capable. She can make such a big table in a short time, and she is considerate. In the early years, the matchmaker would have to squeeze through the whole house! ”
"That's also the door of the Feng family. Grandma, just relax. The door of our old Zhou family is fine!"
Grandma was very disappointed and said angrily: "Go and greet your classmates! ”
When Zhou Zhi came out and sat down again, everyone started talking about this holiday.
I was so busy during this holiday that I missed many things, such as visiting Baisha Town together.
However, Baisha Town is recommended to everyone by Zhou Zhi. The sugar and wine company has business offices in every township in the county. Every year when taking stock, my mother, who was the accountant of the sugar and wine company, would go to the countryside. Zhou Zhi He also ran around everywhere.
Today's Baisha Town is still a standard small farm town by the Yangtze River, with stone streets and wooden walls. The best place is the grain depot in the district. When the bandits counterattacked the farm, the work team retreated there and used brick and stone houses to defend it. , persisted until the arrival of the large forces, and the gun holes from the fierce battle at that time still remain on the walls of the grain depot.
“Have you visited the bandits’ den?”
“That place is really amazing. One man can guard it and ten thousand men cannot open it. There is Shimen Village on Baizhai Mountain, which overlooks the Yangtze River. , there are springs and fields inside, so you can be self-sufficient." Fang Wenyu kept talking about this.
