"Zhao Qisheng, you're going back already?"
By 6:30, the urban management officers had also gone off duty.
Zhao Qisheng was still worried because he didn't know if his mother had bought the fermented fish from yesterday. He started packing as soon as it was time to leave.
His colleagues were still discussing where to go for drinks that night when they saw him walk away, and they were all incredibly surprised.
This guy usually slacks off at work but is most enthusiastic about drinking after get off work. Is the sun rising in the west today?
"Yes, something came up at home, so I'll head back now."
Zhao Qisheng made up an excuse and rode his electric scooter home.
In summer, around six o'clock, the sun hasn't completely set yet.
When Zhao Qisheng returned home for dinner, it was still not dark.
"Wow, Mom, you bought so much today?"
As soon as Zhao Qisheng entered the house, he smelled a familiar aroma. Looking at the table, he was surprised to find that the bowls usually used for soup were now filled with a small mountain of fermented fish.
Zhao Qisheng's mouth twisted into a wide grin in an instant.
"I bought a lot today. After you have dinner, take some to Xiaoxue."
Xiaoxue is Zhao Qisheng's fiancée; the two families are already engaged.
Whenever there's something delicious to eat, Zhao's mother would have her son send a portion over to that person.
"Okay."
Zhao Qisheng only had eyes for the fermented fish, and he was too lazy to even wash his hands. He simply put on disposable gloves, sat down, and started eating.
"Stop just eating, do you hear me?!"
Aunt Zhao couldn't bear to watch her son, who looked like he was starving, clutching a bowl of fermented fish in his arms and guarding his food.
I don't know what Xiaoxue saw in his son.
Why!
"I heard you, don't worry, Mom."
Zhao Qisheng took out a bottle of iced beverage and ate it with the fermented fish, thoroughly enjoying himself.
The spicy and fragrant fish is simply amazing.
The fish meat was air-dried all day today, so it's chewier and more flavorful than the fish meat used on the first day. It's very fragrant when you chew it.
The seasonings also have a rich umami flavor.
Grass carp has thick flesh, so Lin Zhou only used the body meat, omitting the less palatable parts like the head and tail.
Fortunately, you can choose fish by the section at the market, so Lin Zhou had the housekeeper buy only the fish body.
Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do with so many fish heads and tails.
Large thorns were removed when cutting the pieces.
The remaining small bones were fried until crispy, so it's fine to chew and eat them along with the fish.
It's truly bite-sized, and the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes.
After dinner, Zhao Qisheng took the two portions of fermented fish that his mother had packed to his wife and delivered them to her.
On the other hand, after parting ways with Lin Zhou, Pan Yuan went straight back to his parents' home.
He buys vegetables from the old man selling vegetables, but he doesn't cook for himself; he can only send them to his parents.
And this delicious fermented fish must be brought back for my parents to try.
Since the demolition and relocation, the Pan family has received tens of millions in compensation, along with many houses and shops, achieving financial freedom and living comfortably for the rest of their lives without having to work.
Then the whole family became indifferent.
Pan's father chose a shop and opened a small supermarket. He spent his days leisurely looking after the shop and passing the time.
Mrs. Pan enjoys square dancing and even spent money to form a dance troupe. Anyway, the elderly couple each have their own things to do.
Pan Yuan had a job before his home was demolished, but after the demolition, he simply gave up and did nothing.
He is the only son in his family, and all the money and the house will be his in the future, so he has lost his goal in life.
After quitting my job and staying at home, I spend my time playing video games, fishing, and going out.
Life was so carefree.
Pan Yuan first went to the supermarket near his home to call his father, and then the two of them went home together. Pan's mother had already prepared dinner at home.
Pan's mother frowned when she saw him return.
"Don't bring fish back again. Your dad and I really don't like eating fish. If you don't like it, just release the fish next time you catch them."
Pan Yuan: ......
"No, I'm just bringing back groceries."
Pan Yuan shook the bag in his hand speechlessly.
When Pan's mother took a look, it really was vegetables.
"No, why are you buying so many vegetables?"
"They were sold by an old man at a roadside stall. I took them all because I felt sorry for him."
Pan Yuan was too lazy to explain further and simply made up an excuse.
Then focus on the key points.
"Ta-da! Look what this is!"
Pan Yuan opened the lid of the fermented fish dish, and a rich, fragrant aroma of fermented rice wine, along with the fresh and spicy flavor of the fish, wafted out.
When Pan's parents saw the fish, they reflexively showed expressions of disgust.
"You haven't had enough of the fish you caught yet, and you still buy more fish to eat."
This packaging box looks like it was used for food bought from outside.
"Mom and Dad, you'll know once you try it, it's delicious!"
Pan Yuan picked up a toothpick, poked two pieces of fish, and fed them to his parents.
The fish was practically brought to my mouth, and it smelled quite delicious; it was a way of cooking fish I'd never tried before.
Both of Pan's parents opened their mouths and ate the fermented fish.
Then came the moment to witness a miracle.
"Wow, this is delicious! What kind of fish is this? It looks a bit like salted fish, but also like fried fish."
As the head chef in the family, Mrs. Pan subconsciously analyzed the cooking method while eating the fermented fish.
"It's called fermented fish, but I don't know how it's cooked."
Pan Yuan was overjoyed to see his parents react in the way he had expected.
Hahaha, I knew no one could resist the delicious food made by Boss Lin.
Even my parents, who used to shake their heads at the sight of fish, were won over by the fermented fish.
Oh right, I almost forgot to ask Mr. Lin if he needed any fish. The fish he caught could be given to Mr. Lin to make fermented fish.
Those fish that no one wants even when given away, I can't imagine how delicious they would be if they were made into fermented fish.
