MTL - Attack Stream of Life-Chapter 40
One day of the autumn harvest, the noble aunt in the village suddenly came to the educated youth point, and she also brought an interpreter - the women's director.
She has a happy event at home and wants to ask Chef Yu to help with the wedding banquet. Count as wages. According to today's rules, only rich people will give extra money, but no one dares to be "rich" in this era, and the treatment of chefs is naturally much lower.
Comrade Yu has been here for two or three years, and the villagers also know that there is a traitor in the educated youth group...Bah, a particularly outstanding girl.
Not to mention that she looks beautiful, has a good temperament, can work in the field, and is also a good cook. At first glance, she is the first-class candidate for parenting and raising children, and the coquettish **** from other villages is Different.
I don't know how many aunts in the village have asked the captain's daughter-in-law to have a look. Who knows that this girl is the only daughter in the family and has a family tradition of stovetop kung fu. Her family was raised as a son, so she didn't get married and only accepted marriage.
It's just that the village is willing to send people to read and read, so they must not be too poor.
This is really... It can only be said that there is no fate.
Since then, although the aunts are very regretful, they have never tried this girl again.
This noble lady had thought about it before, and later I saw that this girl was in good condition, but she didn't have many sons, so there were only two, how could she be willing to let him kowtow to the ancestors of other families? So I gave up my mind and went to the surrounding villages to look for it. The daughter-in-law of a family with similar conditions, after a few dates, did she find her current daughter-in-law.
The two families settled a few months ago. Even if they are fiancées, after the autumn harvest, the food will be distributed, and the family will have enough money for the wedding. Women in rural areas used to be frugal, but such a big event as marriage should not be stingy.
Aunt Gui originally wanted to find a master chef in the village to cook, but who knew it was such an unfortunate accident. The master broke his arm a few days ago and had to rest for a month or two, and couldn't do it. But for others in the village, Mrs. Gui can't trust the other's craftsmanship.
She thought and thought, and selected the available candidates, this is not good, the meat dishes are not well done, this is not good, there is a problem with character... After thinking about it, I still have the cheek. The educated youth was the best to investigate the situation, and if not, find someone else.
In the eyes of the villagers, the educated youth came from the city, and everything else was good, but they were squeamish. Such a tiring work, and there is no money in the end, people may not be willing.
In fact, Comrade Yu lacked such an opportunity to show off her craftsmanship. Now that she meets a wedding banquet in the village, she is willing to try it even if she doesn't have much money.
Comrade Yu has been an art since he was a child. When he was three or four years old, he stood on the bench and stood in front of the stove. After finally learning and becoming a teacher, seeing that he was about to enter the state-run hotel to show his grand plans, something went wrong at home.
. So Comrade Yu went to the countryside. Since then, the biggest pot I have touched is the broken iron pot that the educated youth ordered.
Thinking about it is really short of breath.
Now your aunt actually came to invite her for a wedding banquet, and the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley. Comrade Yu tried his best to keep his face tight, not letting himself show too obvious joy.
"Okay, can you give me a menu? I want to be prepared. I don't know if there are any special rules in the village. Are there any favorite dishes that must be cooked?"
Auntie Gui is overjoyed, she said in her heart that Comrade Xiaoyu is really a good comrade. She nodded again and again, "It should be. The aunt is illiterate. I'll report it to you."
On the day of your aunt's son's wedding, Comrade Xiaoyu set out before dawn with her kitchen knife and seasoning bag. It's not easy to get these seasonings together. Some of them have to go to the pharmacy to buy them. Comrade Xiaoyu made two trips to the county town for this matter, and finally got the things ready.
The sky is beautiful, it is a rainy day. There is no need to go to work on rainy days, the rain is not heavy, and there are traces of catkins flying, so everyone will have time to go to the wedding, bring some vegetables grown at home, dried salted fish, or a few eggs, and you can be in order. sat on the table and had a good meal.
Your aunt also invited the educated youths, a group of more than a dozen people, they discussed it internally, each collected a little money and tickets, and went to the town to buy a pair of red tin thermos. Please have a handy comrade cut out a pair of Double Happiness and paste it up, how beautiful it looks.
Your aunt likes it very much, she is decent and practical, looking at these educated youths is like looking at her own nephew.
Industrial tickets are rare in rural areas, but if they do, they also save for necessities such as iron pots and kitchen knives, and few people have the luxury to buy thermos. This gift from the educated youth was really delivered to your aunt's heart. She wanted to buy it at first, but she didn't have an industrial ticket, and now she got a pair for nothing.
This pair of red tin thermos was placed in the wedding room, adding to the joy. Be careful, a thermos can last for decades.
Gifts were given, and the educated youths took up two tables. The villagers also felt that this should be the case. As for a pair of thermos, you have to buy them yourself. It takes a few years to collect industrial tickets. That is to say, these educated youths have family members in the city, and they also have tickets in their hands, so they are willing to spend their precious industrial tickets on the thermos. Some people in the village who do not have industrial tickets are still cooking in casserole.
His family background is not bad, but his work is a little squeamish, but he can understand it. The children in the city have never done farm work. According to the old saying, these are all young talents, who do not go to the ground.
After a drink today, the big guy seems to have a better impression of the educated youth.
The educated youth who gave gifts will not talk about it, they are better than those who take two pickles and drag their families to eat and drink.
Oh, Comrade Xiaoyu's craftsmanship is really good.
The villagers have always defined food as big fish and big meat, but today this concept seems to be swaying.
How do you make that sizzling taro? It was served with a creaking sound, with a layer of crystal clear soup poured on the outside, and the boxy little taro was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Why does it still taste like meat? There is no greasy fatty meat and peculiar smell of pork.
There is also Nasu spare ribs. I heard that it is made of noodles. It is crunchy, salty and delicious. It can almost be regarded as real spare ribs. It also has the unique sweetness of pasta. The more chewy it is, the sweeter it is, but the filling on the outside is salty. The combination of the two tastes is really wonderful.
There is also a bowl of warm shredded fish and egg vegetable soup, which is thick and delicious, beautiful in color and fragrant. It is also very good for the elderly and children. Even if it was very hot when it was served, it was robbed in the blink of an eye.
If these vegetarian and semi-meat dishes are done well, then the big meat dishes will be even more beautiful.
It is full of soup, and it seems that the essence of the whole pig is eaten in one mouth. Eating only pork is greasy, so there is a pile of sauce in the middle, which is also a semi-transparent thick sauce, amber color, with a little red pepper flakes floating, slightly sweet, slightly sour and slightly spicy, like some kind of jam and pepper mixture .
It was the first time that the villagers tried roasted pork with jam, such an anti-traditional thing, everyone actually accepted it well.
Braised crucian carp, the fish belly is cleaned and stuffed with marinated fillings. It is prepared with fresh food such as meat, eggs, mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots. The crucian carp is already fresh, and with the stuffing in the belly, it is indeed more delicious than before, without the fishy smell unique to fish, and the fish meat is even more delicious, it is simply an ideal appetizer.
There is also a very simple white cut chicken, a clean plate, it seems to be easy to make. However, as soon as I ate it, I noticed the difference. Pieces of chicken contained layers of jelly, which was collagen. Even the chicken breast is not dry, and every bite is fragrant.
Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Mrs. Gui would applaud from time to time, laughing so hard that she could not see her eyes. It turned out that her family objected to her going to the educated youth chef, hmph, now you know that Jiang is still old and hot? People's craftsmanship that can open restaurants in big cities, handed down from generations, can it be the same as the things that the villagers make up by themselves?
Young people, you still need more experience, your knowledge is too short!
If nothing else, can the cooks in the village be so particular? Do you still care if things look good or not? But Comrade Xiao Yu can make the food delicious and beautiful.
Spend so much money to marry a wife, buy so many things for wedding wine, isn't it just for the fun?
Aunt Gui was very satisfied, she even quietly left two taels of meat in the basket, ready to be brought back by Comrade Xiaoyu later.
After the banquet, Comrade Xiaoyu came back with a basket of thank you gifts.
thank you.
This is also the village, and you want to invite the royal chef to inherit this little thing in the city? Dream about it.
After a busy day, Xiao Yu fell asleep when he came back. In the evening, everyone used roasted sweet potatoes to deal with this meal. Comrade Xiaohua, who was in the same room with her, crept out, "Xiaoyu'er is so tired, she ate a sweet potato and fell asleep again, shall I do it tomorrow morning?"
Even if I watch Comrade Xiaoyu busy every day, I haven't learned any skills from him, so I can only say that the things I make are not ambiguous, and I can eat them. Don't ask for more.
"I'll do it. Lesbians have a hard time cooking, so I'll have a rest tomorrow." Zhao Ming said suddenly.
Everyone looked at him in surprise. There are very few **** men who can cook these days, whether in the village or in the city.
"You can do it? Don't waste the good stuff."
"Yes, I just can't control the fire, I have to find someone to help me control the fire." Zhao Ming is full of confidence. It's not a joke, he was born to cook, and he came when he got started.
Everyone could only agree with half-belief, but in fact, there is still some distrust. Seeing that this young man is so clean and bookish, how can he look like someone who can cook? What's more, the stove used in the village is more difficult to burn than the coal used in the city.
However, on the second day, the aroma wafting from the kitchen told everyone that people should not be seen.
"It's so fragrant, it's preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
The preserved egg and lean meat porridge has a warm aroma like home. It is warm and has a fragrance that stimulates the spleen and stomach. The fragrance swirled around the house and woke up all the people who were asleep. Even Comrade Xiao Yu, who slept late today, stuck his head out in his pajamas and sniffed, the chef's instinct happened.
Then add the minced lean meat, simply use cooking wine, green onion and **** to remove the fishy smell. After boiling, it is only fragrant. There are also preserved eggs that are properly marinated. The egg yolk is green on the outside and yellow on the inside, with moderate hardness." He took another breath and carefully identified, "Finally, add chopped green onion, fine salt, etc. to taste..."
Her roommate was stunned to discover for the first time that the chef turned out to be such a magical creature.
Comrade glasses don't care what kind of porridge this porridge is, he just feels that he smells this and is even more hungry. The cup passed, "I'm starving, Comrade Xiaohua, please have a bowl."
Comrade Xiaohua, who had two pigtails, looked at him with disgust, but still gave him a big spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
"Do we still have preserved eggs?" Comrades came one after another, all with their own lunch boxes and enamel cups.
"I marinated it before. If I don't eat it, it will grow old." Zhao Ming said.
"Oh, is it your baby's belly pot?" An educated youth asked without raising his head while snoring and pouring porridge into his mouth.
“One jar is salted eggs, the other is preserved eggs, and fruit wine brewed by yourself.”
"Really, I saw with my own eyes the big duck eggs that Comrade Zhaoming marinated and the fruit wine brewed." He Zhaoming snorted in a room and broke his fingers, "A can of pomegranate wine, a can of mulberries Wine, a can of bayberry wine, a can of wild wine, he bought the pomegranate from the county, and the mulberries, bayberry and wild grapes were picked from the back mountain, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Ming said with a smile.
"Hou Shan? The villagers said that there are wild boars and wolves in the Hou Shan. I heard that there were leopards in the past."
"It's alright, in sixty years, there was no food, they turned over the mountain, and those beasts went deeper into the mountain. You forgot, I was still there a few years ago A rabbit was caught in a bamboo forest behind. We also fried bamboo worms."
"How long ago, I forgot."
Comrade Xiaoyu was not slow to come, she picked up the bowl and sniffed, took a sip, took another sip, gu dong gu dong after a while and finished drinking, wiped her mouth, and then took a long sigh of relief , "I'm alive again. Comrade Zhaoming's porridge is so well cooked. It's better than mine. Did you make it at home before?"
"It's better than Xiaoyu girl?" Everyone looked in disbelief.
"It's better than me." Xiao Yu affirmed, "I'm not good at everything."
Zhao Ming also said, "I only know a few."
"Oh, I can't see, you still have this skill. Comrade Zhaoming, I have to learn from you, or if Comrade Xiaoyu goes back in the future, I will starve myself to death."
Zhao Ming smiled, "It's not difficult, you won't have to learn it a few times at a time."
"Do the gentlemen still learn this? Let your daughter-in-law do it in the future." Another educated youth said.
"All the girls in these days can earn money. In the future, if a girl is married, she will have to earn money to support her family, and she will have to do laundry and cooking. Then why would she marry? Are there more people to serve? ? Comrade Zhaoming, I think it's fine for you to do this, keep it up."
Everyone was holding a bowl and talking about it, the topic turned faster and faster, and turned to the position of men and women in the family. Since the girls can go to work and earn money, the temper of the little wives and the big girls has become more and more serious, and their ideas have become more and more correct. Some people adapt quickly to this transition, while others cannot.
Those who can't adapt quickly will inevitably complain a few words, and everyone doesn't take it seriously, even a few lesbians don't take it seriously.
Don't marry her, no matter whether he is a macho or not, at most quietly delete this person from the candidate list. On the other hand, the few who said they were willing to share the housework could examine it carefully. What if they didn't go back? The educated youth from the city are always more suitable than the youth from the countryside, at least they have a common language.
Today the eyes of girls still shine with the wisdom of life.
