Chapter 233: Riding a bicycle instead of riding a horse
I spent the whole night without talking. When I woke up the next morning, the magnolia slices and squid were almost gone.
Pour the squid slices out of the thermos bottle, wash them clean, and cut them into smaller pieces again with a knife. Bring a pot of boiling water and pour the squid into it. The squid will automatically roll into squid flowers.
Add a little cooking wine and white vinegar to the water. The white vinegar can speed up the synthesis of the alkaline taste of the squid flowers, while the cooking wine can suppress the taste of both and at the same time enhance the flavor of the squid flowers.
When the squid flowers are rolled, pick them up, put them in a basin, and float them in clean water.
The same goes for the magnolia slices on the other side.
Dr. Zhao is very particular about people, and it is not easy to satisfy him. The method of using MSG instead of broth will definitely not pass the test.
Jiachuan chicken soup is the most convenient ingredient for making family soup. Because the fire of Jiachuan chicken soup is very small, the soup temperature is kept at more than 80 degrees during the cooking process, and the chicken is actually cooked, so The soup color is very clear.
There was still chicken soup from the past few days at home, so Zhou Zhi took it out of the refrigerator, cut some ham and scallops into pieces, added them in, and steamed them in a pot.
After taking care of this, I cooked another bowl of glutinous rice balls for my grandma, and asked her to watch the fire. Zhou Zhi went downstairs, picked up the eel fishing rack, and walked towards the north door.
The morning market was very busy. When Zhou Zhi arrived, Mr. San and Sister Xiao Juaner were already busy with their own business.
The current Chinese New Year in Jiachuan is the time when the custom of New Year’s dinner becomes popular. According to the habits of Jiachuan people, in addition to chicken, duck, fish and other large fish and meat, the most indispensable part of the New Year’s dinner is two other side dishes. .
One is young lettuce mixed with ear root. The lettuce must be the most unique "nest chicken dish" in Jiachuan, which is the most tender.
The root of the folded ear must also be a tender root with some buds and leaves.
The second one is pickles. A capable family usually soaks the pickles a day or two before entertaining guests. When the banquet is about to end, take them out and cut them into a bowl. No need to add any more seasonings. , just drizzle a small spoonful of spicy oil.
If you are a family with poor craftsmanship, you have to come to the market to buy.
Cut half a bowl of diced radish, mix it with tempeh, and you will be able to believe in the home-made kimchi!
So even though Sister Xiaojuan'er's stall is not big, she chose the right time to open her business and the business is actually quite good.
The people who come to Sanye to get the eels and loaches early in the morning are all people from restaurants. I don’t know how long Sanye can sleep at night. In short, those people from the store who come to get them early in the morning are already good. It is a bag of cooked eel fillets and loach segments.
It can be seen that the third master's reputation in this regard is really good. Basically, he paid too much without wasting time, and no one opened the bag to check.
As the New Year approaches, restaurant business is also booming. Seeing that Mr. San has two cigarettes on each ear, you know that it is now a seller's market.
"Elbow, you're here?! Didn't you say you don't want to come?" Sister Xiaojuan'er seemed to be in a good mood. She probably got a lot of praise from her aunt yesterday.
"Trading for food" is my aunt's position and name for small traders. This is how my ancestors made a living, and eventually they starved to death, which made my aunt deeply hate this business.
However, "trafficking for food" can reach the point where one day can pass for a month, but there is another story to be said.
In fact, Zhou Zhi knew that another wealth opportunity would soon come, that is, the sharp inflation in 1993.
It is not a good thing for those who hold cash, but for those who own materials, it is a great opportunity to suddenly increase their wealth.
However, no one seems to be able to tell these things to the people around him. Zhou Zhi greeted Sister Xiaojuaner: "Where is Brother Dayong?"
"He is in a hurry to go to work, inspecting before the holiday. It’s enough to keep the factory busy,” Sister Xiaojuan’er said.
"You said that if Brother Dayong is also allowed to come out of the factory..." "That won't work." Sister Xiaojuan'er directly objected: "Unless like the third master, the grain is liberalized, and the efficiency of the grain station will not be good. , then you can consider it. The water plant is different, it has raised wages twice this year.”
Two salary increases can't last a day, Zhou Zhi doesn't care about this in his heart. One of the couple has a stable job and the other works hard outside, which is the best combination in itself.
The most important thing is not here, the most important thing is that Sister Xiaojuan'er plays the lead role of Brother Dayong so naturally and smoothly, which fully shows that there is a complete drama between the two.
This discovery made Zhou Zhi very happy. He put down the eel fishing rack and said hello to Mr. San again: "Good guy, if there are Jiachuan inspection-free products, Mr. San, your Hu's aquatic products will definitely be the best. Got the qualification!”
Master Hu He is also a fun-loving person: "Here are the elbows? I'll race my motorcycle to accompany you later."
The third master is rowing eels. Not to mention, this action is really a bit like cousin An Ran driving a motorcycle. Sometimes, I lay down low and pretended to be driving a racing motorcycle.
Zhou Zhi was amused and picked up the eel rowing rack: "Third Master, do you want to switch to horse riding?"
"Horse riding? You still think my butt is not sticking up?"
" Hahahaha... It's not like the Olympics!" Zhou Zhi shook his head: "The way the old officials rode."
"What do you mean?"
"Get up, I'll give it to you. Change the angle.”
He placed the eel stool against the white ceramic tile pillar, put the shelf in place, and replaced the eel scratching board with one with a mortise and tenon joint: "Come on, Third Master, let's try again."
Third Master is almost done Understand what Zhou Zhi means, sit on it, I picked up an eel from the basin and knocked it on the edge of the basin. After knocking it out, I nailed it to the board. This time, I didn’t need to bend down. I just had to raise my arm and use the gravity of the arm to sink down from top to bottom. , you can complete the eel rowing action.
“Damn!” The Third Master’s eyes were a little wet: “Elbow, all the hardships I have endured in the past few years have been in vain. If I had known I could be like this... This isn’t so fucking difficult. What should I do? Haven't you thought about it?"
"I saw you operating yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable." Zhou. Zhi said: "I just want to improve it for you, with a little effort."
"What a little effort, you don't know how hard this work is." The third master wiped his hands on his apron: "I The one holding the knife is not dirty, thank you! I won’t say more, thank you!”
Zhou Zhi reached out and shook his hand: "As you said yesterday, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You try it first. I have to leave now. I have to buy some ingredients to cook for an old man today."
"Take this!" Mr. Hu picked up a bag of sliced eels, weighing about two kilograms: "I use this as a tonic in winter." It's just right, consider it my filial piety!"
"No, no, no!" Zhou Zhi hurriedly ran: "No, I won't be polite to you if you need me! Sister Xiaojuan'er, I'll leave first! "
"Hey, goodbye, how can I be embarrassed like this..." Hu Sanye called out quickly, but Zhou Zhi had already run away.
“Third Master, your friend is quite interesting.” The person buying eels is also a regular customer and knows how important this thing is to Mr. Hu.
"This old man's waist can be straightened..." Mr. Hu happily stepped back on the stool and quickly rowed another eel: "I'm afraid you won't believe it. That's Director Zhou of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Young Master, we just met yesterday.”
“We met through Juan’er. They are serious relatives.”
“Third Master, please don’t talk nonsense.” Sister Xiaojuaner, who was busy, quickly answered: "It's okay, he is Dayong's cousin, and Dayong and him are the real relatives."
"Isn't it still the same? This bag will be released later "Eel, take it to Jizi's house."
"Bah!" Sister Xiao Juaner spat at the third master, but her expression was still full of joy: "No one is serious!"
