Chapter 79 Misunderstanding
That is, Qin Qiumei didn’t say these words, otherwise Chen Ling would definitely know why the little woman from the family planning office has a bit pretentious and awkward personality. This is purely a novel about an old witch. Read more .
Of course.
Chen Ling was not in the habit of staring at women. At this time, his attention was entirely on a freshly killed sheep in Wang Jusheng's courtyard.
I was quite surprised.
Before he came, he thought he was just having a drink, but he didn't expect to kill all the sheep.
This guy is a bit extravagant.
"Hey, you are so rich, are you going to be tough with this meal today?"
Wang Jusheng raised his eyebrows proudly when he saw him in a daze.
“You are so tough, so tough.” Chen Ling sighed.
Wang Jusheng prepared a lot of food today. In order to thank Qin Qiumei, he gritted his teeth and brought two sheep from his yard despite his mother's scolding.
Now that one of them has been killed, there are four or five kilograms of native pork, a bunch of intestines, and a lot of vegetables, which Chen Ling can do as he pleases.
According to Wang Jusheng, if he really had to be fined, these things would not be enough to buy several tractors, so he was let go today.
"There is another sheep over there in the pig pen. If it's not enough, we'll kill it again and you'll have enough to eat today."
These words are so heroic, Chen Ling cooks the food They are all more energetic.
He immediately got into the kitchen and started working, and Wang Jusheng followed him to help him.
There were not many people today, only five people in total.
The two of them entered the kitchen, and the other three didn't want to sit around. They sat outside the kitchen and helped choose and wash the vegetables.
"Brother Jusheng, do you have any starch at home?" Chen Ling asked as he swept around the soy sauce, vinegar and seasonings beside the stove.
"Starch, yes. I just bought it from the rural supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. After you talked about it last time at home, I have been thinking about it." Wang Jusheng hurried back to the house and took the starch from the drawer.
"Can you look at this starch?"
Chen Ling took a look and nodded, "Okay, it's enough for cooking."
Starch is mainly used to thicken soup, or cook When cooking meat dishes, add starch and paste to make the meat tender.
"Okay, the knife has been sharpened for you, I'll bring it to you."
Wang Jusheng hurried out and took the knife. "This is a spare one at home. It is used for chopping meat when killing New Year pigs. It is very thick. If you are not used to that one, just use this new one."
Chen Ling took the knife and washed it with water, took a piece of potato, cut it on the chopping board, then smiled at Wang Jusheng and said, "Well, not bad, this knife is easy to use."
They tried it in the kitchen Knife, Zhao Dahai came over unwilling to be alone.
I saw that Chen Ling was holding the potatoes with one hand and lifting the knife with the other. He first became familiar with the feel of the kitchen knife, and then the speed of cutting vegetables gradually increased. The clinking cuts were fast and accurate. Cut the potatoes into shreds evenly and finely.
Zhao Dahai was originally joining in the fun, but now his eyes widened.
“Brother, your knife skills are really good.”
His yelling caused the two women outside to yell in.
"What's up, Brother Dahai, have you cut your hand?" Zhang Qiaoling came over quickly.
“No, I saw this brother Fugui chopping vegetables beautifully.”
“Oh, well, it’s like this when it comes to arranging food. Fugui is indeed better than our wives. What a coincidence." Zhang Qiaoling said with a smile.
Qin Qiumei came over and took a look at it, and was a little surprised.
"The shredded potatoes are nice and thin, but... they are too thin and difficult to fry."
But before a few people could say anything, Chen Ling had already heated up the oil in the pot and stir-fried the chili peppers. When it smells fragrant, put the shredded potatoes in and stir-fry quickly. After a while, the golden and translucent fried shredded potatoes with chili peppers will be out of the pot.
Before it was served on the table, several people took two bites each and were immediately impressed.
Especially Qin Qiumei, she was really surprised when she heard all the bad things about Chen Ling from the villagers and her sister.
“Can’t you see, you still have this skill?”
"It's not bad, I just wanted to satisfy my craving at home." Chen Ling forced a smile. The taste was actually ordinary. The key person didn't leave, so he couldn't cheat. He couldn't even dilute some cave water and put it in.
Diluted Dongtian Water can enhance the flavor, and the effect is greatly reduced when mixed with ordinary water. It will not emit strange light and has no obvious effect on the body. It only retains some special effects on vegetables and crops. It is effective and can be used with confidence.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He is just lazy. In fact, he knows a lot of things. Usually, no one is pushing him from behind, so he just sits at home and doesn't like to move..." Wang Jusheng grinned. Defended Chen Ling.
Then he told them some of the things Chen Ling told him.
“Oh, it turns out you stole the chef when you were working in a restaurant. No wonder the cooking is delicious.”
Qin Qiumei suddenly realized.
In fact, it was just an excuse for Chen Ling to prevaricate Wang Jusheng.
His cooking skills were developed in the army. They are only of average level, but they are enough for the countryside of this era.
Coupled with the water embellishment of the cave sky, it can be said to be quite good.
Wang Jusheng took it out and told others at this time. This was a beautiful misunderstanding.
"I'm not stealing from my master."
Chen Ling shook his head, "I listened openly. When the chef scolds his apprentice, even though he is scolding, he still has to punish you when he scolds him. The scolding was clear, and the apprentice knew what he was doing wrong after being trained."
"I hear it a lot every day, and I can figure out a lot of things when I think about it in private..."
He. As he spoke, he kept using his hands to flour the cornstarch with starch.
Then he pointed at the gradually boiling soup pot and said: "Just like this thickening, you have to go down with one spoon. If the thickening is accurate, this is the best soup. Anyone who thickens the soup twice will be beaten. ”
"Ah? Why is this?" Zhao Dahai was confused.
"If you put a spoon in it, the gravy is accurate. The soup is transparent. Don't dip it twice in one time. The soup will be muddy. This is not a beating."
Chen Ling said, demonstrating it to them with his hands. It turned out to be true.
It made several people sigh.
Chen Ling was helpless: "Comrades, I'm just a dabbler. Let's stop watching from the sidelines. You guys are just looking at things and talking nonsense. I can't let go."
A few people listened and laughed. He smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and went out to help him a little.
They don't stay close by.
Chen Ling officially got busy.
It took about two hours to finally make this table of food and wine.
The fried pheasant meat with chili was made with the half-large pheasant brought by Chen Ling himself. I originally wanted to make small pheasant stewed with mushrooms, but I had to cook mutton later and didn’t do it. The chili from Wang Jusheng’s family is good, Chen Ling said. Ling stir-fried a porcelain pot with chili peppers.
The half-grown pheasant is a hatchling that has just hatched in early spring. There is no shortage of insects in the farmland and haystacks, so it grows quite plump, and the meat is fresh and tender, and the bones are crispy when chewed. of.
I made twice-cooked pork from local pork. This twice-cooked pork is Chen Ling’s real specialty. I was tired of eating it in my previous life, but now that I haven’t eaten it for a long time, it still has a different taste.
The mutton and radish were stewed in a pot on the earthen stove. The heat was almost ready. During the stew, Chen Ling secretly added two drops of Dongtian Creek water to enhance the flavor.
After it came out of the pot, even the radish had a strong meaty aroma, and the mutton was stewed over firewood. When you pick it up and bite it, you will get that bursting feeling when you chew it in your mouth. The soup is mixed with the meat. The taste fills the mouth, and there is no fishy smell at all, so let’s not mention the taste.
There is also a dish of pork sausage, which was specially requested by Zhao Dahai. There is actually nothing much to say about this dish. The two women did not eat it, and Wang Jusheng did not eat it. Only Chen Ling and Zhao Dahai ate it. It tastes good because of the water from the cave. Up.
For this meal, four meat dishes, five home-cooked vegetarian dishes made with tofu, peanuts, wild garlic, etc., as well as a porcelain basin full of soup, filled the large round table of Wang Jusheng's family.
Hey guys, as soon as the food was served, everyone kept using their chopsticks.
The delicacies of the mountains and wild fields, coupled with the small grains he had stored for ten years, made Zhao Dahai loosen his belt and his mouth was full of oil. He put his arm around Chen Ling's shoulders and asked him when he would open a restaurant.
If Chen Ling dared to open a restaurant, he would dare to live in the hotel and never leave.
This guy with great cooking skills was absolutely humble just now.
A group of people laughed again.
During the dinner, Qin Qiumei gradually relaxed. It could be seen that after this meal, she completely changed her view of Chen Ling.
I also understand why Wang Jusheng asked Chen Ling to help him every day before he came to his senses, and he also wanted to have an extra meal at his house.
Let alone Wang Jusheng, given the taste of the food, if it were her, she would be willing to help Chen Ling work in the fields.
So the woman also started chatting with Chen Ling about some household topics, and especially asked him about his cooking skills.
Chen Ling also smiled and answered one by one. Anyway, he said everything he could say. It’s not his fault if it doesn’t taste good.
A few people chatted, their stomachs were full of food, and they did not finish the dishes on the table.
Of course, the rest are vegetarian.
The four meat dishes were completely eaten.
Don't underestimate the amount of these four meat dishes. It is always more economical to entertain guests in rural areas. They are served directly in pots. Normally, these four meat dishes are enough for seven or eight people.
Because Chen Ling’s cooking tasted so good, several people kept eating chopsticks and picking up vegetables, and they finished eating without even realizing it.
"Oh, I have never been so full. The vegetarian dishes are delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat any more."
Qin Qiumei hugged her belly with both hands, exhaled softly, placed her forehead on the tip of her nose Already covered in fine sweat.
She really enjoyed this meal to her heart's content.
But now after eating, looking at the remaining vegetarian dishes, I feel full of disappointment, my eyes are full of regret, and I only regret that my appetite is too small.
“It’s really delicious. The level of cooking in Fugui has skyrocketed. The last time I came to cook at my house, it wasn’t as delicious as this. Just now I almost swallowed the meat mixed with my tongue.”< br>
“Susu is really lucky to have such delicious food every day.”
Zhang Qiaoling laughed.
The doll leaning on her also burbled and said unintelligible words to Chen Ling, then showed a few newly grown milk teeth and smiled at him.
"Big head, come here, let your uncle hold you."
Chen Ling stretched out his hand to the little baby. The baby was totally unfamiliar with Chen Ling. When Chen Ling stretched out his arms, he got up from Zhang Qiaoling and swayed on the chair. Step by step, he moved to Chen Ling.
After being picked up by Chen Ling, he couldn't stop giggling. After a while, a long laugh came out of his mouth.
Chen Ling didn't mind it either. She wiped his mouth with her hands and continued teasing him.
The little baby in Wang Jusheng's family was nicknamed Big Head. It was because Zhang Qiaoling had no milk after the full moon. The baby grew thinner and thinner, but his head became particularly big, so he got this nickname.
She is only over eight months old now, can't walk yet, and hasn't learned a few words yet. She was lifted up twice by Chen Ling, and she clings to his arms, babbling, and doesn't want to find his mother anymore.
Wang Jusheng and his wife looked on with unconscious smiles on their faces.
"Fugui, since you like dolls so much, why don't you hurry up and get one."
"That's right, Director Qin happens to be here. Please invite her to your house for dinner more times in the future. Just give birth to as many children as you want."
After hearing this, Qin Qiumei burst into laughter: "How can you discuss how to bribe people in front of others? , Besides, the slogan Chen Fugui thought of before was to steal the morning glory. Who can blame him?”
Then his eyes glanced at Chen Ling. Seeing him teasing the baby in his arms, he looked over and said, "Hey, Chen Fugui, aren't you worried that you won't be able to have two more babies after joining the township government?" You won’t go.”
“Hahaha.”
“Director Qin, you’re on to something, that’s what this kid really thinks.”
So Wang Jusheng told her what Chen Ling said in a small mouth at noon. Qin Qiumei was immediately stunned. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Chen Ling in disbelief.
Then he pointed at Chen Ling, a bit dumbfounded, "Chen Fugui, you are really..."
"What's wrong? I don't have much ambition. I just want to have babies all over the kang. Can't I do it?"
Chen Ling let Datou sit on his lap and glanced at her: "I have a wife and children who are hot on the kang." , No matter how many people ask for it, it’s so comfortable to live this life.”
