Chapter 60: Sky-high Monkey, qiu! Bang!



"Little Ancestor, Captain Feng wants to eat some fish, right? Bring him some back."

Feng Sipo quickly waved his hand and said, "I'll just eat some when Tangtang makes it."

There are too many people and too few fish, so there won’t be enough for them to share.

The best thing is, they finish eating here.

"By the way, Li Wei and the others are having dinner at the village office, so Tangtang, you can just make less."

Feng Sipo said that he didn't want to give the food cooked by Tangtang to others.

Qiu Yantang: ...

The problem of having a big face is indeed not easy to solve.

Looking at the busy crowd, "Guangdong, I'll go back first. I'll take two three-scales."

Three-scale carp belongs to carp, with firm meat, suitable for braising.

"Little Ancestor, please take a few more!"

Such a huge achievement is inseparable from Qiu Yantang’s contribution.

"It's okay. I'll go back and cook for Feng Sipo first. I'll come over in the afternoon."

Let him finish eating and get out of here...

No, I’m afraid of delaying Captain Feng’s important work.

Seeing Qiu Yantang pick out two fish, Feng Sipo quickly took them and then walked beside Qiu Yantang.

Looking at Feng Sipo's worthless look, Qiu Guangdong didn't know why, but suddenly he felt that Feng Sipo was much more pleasing to the eye.

Arriving at Qiu Yantang's house, Feng Sipo said, "Tangtang, what are you going to do with this fish? I'll go take care of it."

It's good that someone else prepared the fish. "I want to braise the whole fish. Do you want it stewed with vermicelli or tofu?"

Braised fish is delicious whether you add vermicelli or tofu.

"How about putting some of both in?"

Although Feng Sipo's request was a bit excessive, Qiu Yantang thought it was okay.

"Okay, I'll go make some vermicelli."

The vermicelli in Qiu Yantang's home is made of pure potato flour by herself. It tastes smooth and chewy and is filled with soup.

After watching Qiu Yantang leave, Feng Sipo began to clean up the fish. The fish was not dead yet and was still fresh.

First scrape off the fish scales, then open the belly. The fish bubbles in the belly can be eaten. If there are fish eggs, you can also eat them, but the fish have no eggs these two days.

The fish gills also need to be cleaned. At this time, the fish does not have a strong earthy smell, so just wash it twice and there is no need to bleed it specifically.

By the time Qiu Yantang finished soaking the vermicelli, the fish had already been cleaned by Feng Sipo, and it was spotless!

"Tangtang, do you think this is okay?"

"That's great!" Without saying anything, although Feng Sipo is a bit clingy, most people can't compare to him in terms of work and handling things.

Let’s say, why is he so happy when Qiu Yantang praises him?

But Qiu Yantang ignored him who was still laughing foolishly.

Just heat the oil in a pan, add ginger slices, and add a little more oil. After putting the fish in, do not turn it over. Fry it for a while before turning it over to ensure the integrity of the fish skin.

Fish skin has a strong fishy smell, and this method can effectively remove the fishy smell. Wait until one side is set before frying the other side.

After frying, just add water, some chopped green onions, and various other seasonings, then just stew it.

After the water boils, add the vermicelli. Vermicelli is a little harder to cook, so cook it for a while longer to make it softer and more glutinous.

When it is almost cooked, add the tofu. Blanch the tofu in boiling water first to remove the bean smell. It will also prevent it from breaking when stewed and retain its smoothness when eaten.

While the fish was stewing on this side, Qiu Yantang fried some cabbage and black fungus on the other side.

Cabbage and black fungus are good for detoxification.

The whole house was filled with fragrance. Qiu Yantang ground the broken ice blue petals into powder and added a little when cooking.

Feng Sipo doesn't quite understand those things. The dishes he cooks are just barely edible, far from being delicious.

Two dishes, not many, but enough. After all, the fish was stewed in a big pot. One dish goes well with rice and the other dish helps to relieve greasiness.

In fact, at that time in Northeast China, most people only had one dish and one pickle for each meal. Sometimes when guests came to the house, they would just make one meat dish.

Generally, more will be done for weddings and funerals.

Looking at the fish on the table, Feng Sipo swallowed his saliva. It smelled delicious.

"Eat, eat more."

The fish skin is tiger-skin-like, but very complete. Feng Sipo ate a piece of the fish skin and felt that it was so delicious, as well as the fish meat inside, because it was cooked for a long time.

The flavor of the fish is also soaked in the soup.

It’s especially delicious.

The tofu and vermicelli inside also have a unique flavor.

"This stir-fried cabbage with black fungus is also delicious, and the important thing is that it can detoxify." Qiu Yantang said.

Upon hearing this, Feng Sipo ate stir-fried cabbage with black fungus, but he always felt that Qiu Yantang's words were more or less implying something about him.

"By the way, did Guangdong tell you about bean sprouts today?"

Qiu Yantang got so excited that he almost forgot about the important matter.

"I told you, I want bean sprouts too from now on." Bean sprouts are not much more expensive than cabbage, but they can also give the soldiers a change of taste. After harvesting the mushrooms in Qiujia Village, they can occasionally eat some mushrooms.

Otherwise, at this time, the most common things they eat every day are cabbage, potatoes, and tofu. The menu is magical: cabbage stewed with potatoes, cabbage stewed with tofu, potatoes stewed with tofu, or all three stewed together.

Occasionally, finding two pieces of pork belly in a big pot of stew is like Chinese New Year.

Feng Sipo picked up another piece of black fungus with chopsticks. After all, black fungus is a mountain delicacy and the army can only eat it occasionally.

Now Qiu Yantang has made bean sprouts, which is a blessing for them. They can eat bean sprouts every few days!

Qiu Yantang nodded and said, "The bean sprouts will be ready to eat in three or four days. Remember to send someone to pick them up. They won't taste good if they're left out for too long."

Feng Sipo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Tangtang, I'll send someone over when the time comes."

"Um!"

After breakfast, Feng Sipo and Qiu Yantang started to eat melon seeds. "Tangtang, we have some firecrackers. Do you want any from Qiujia Village?"

“About how many?”

The Chinese New Year also needs to have the festive atmosphere. Firecrackers are not too expensive at this time, but they are particularly hard to buy.

"There are 100 double-kick firecrackers, 200 sky rockets, and 20 strings of 100-shot small firecrackers. They're all sold in a pack for 30 yuan."

Ouch! Qiu Yantang thought it was too cheap.

"Yes! I'll tell Guangming when the time comes, and you can ask him for the money."

Firecrackers make the kind that makes a bang... bang.

The flying monkey is qiu! ... the kind that goes "bang".

Small firecrackers are made up of small firecrackers. The sound of firecrackers at this time is not that loud and they are safer.

When the time comes, you can take it apart and give it to your children to play with.

The Chinese New Year always has a festive atmosphere, but unfortunately there are no fireworks at this time.

"Well, okay, I'll pull it over for you next time."

This behavior made Qiu Yantang feel that Feng Sipo was really a good person. He added a lot of delicious food and fun to his life.

Good Guy Card +1.
