Chapter 88 Delicious fried squid

In the kitchen.

Deng Shirong was teaching his eldest daughter how to fry squid. As he did so, he said, "Frying squid requires more time than frying peanuts. If the squid is slightly overcooked, it will become hard and taste bitter. If it is not cooked enough, the squid's sweet flavor will not be activated."

Having said that, Deng Shirong felt that the oil temperature was about right, so he picked up a drained squid and put it into the pan.

The squid will curl up immediately when it encounters high temperature.

Deng Shirong used a spatula to hold the squid in place while saying, "When you put the squid in to fry, it will curl up immediately. You need to use a spatula or other tool to hold it in place to prevent it from curling up. Otherwise, only one side will be fried, and the curled side will not be fried, resulting in uneven heating and a poor taste."

Deng Yunzhen watched her father's operation intently. After her father fixed the squid, he fry it for a few seconds. When the side he saw was already fried golden brown, he turned it over to the other side and fry it for a few seconds until both sides were fried golden brown. Then he picked it up with chopsticks and put it in a clean bowl next to him.

"Just fry the squid until it's this color!"

After Deng Shirong finished speaking, he repeated the previous action and fried three of the squids very easily. When there was only one squid left, he handed the spatula to his eldest daughter and said, "Ah Zhen, I'll let you try the last one."

After receiving culinary training from her father, Deng Yunzhen's understanding of cooking has changed dramatically.

So she was not afraid of the stage, took the spatula and said: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Next, Deng Yunzhen repeated her father's previous actions. Although it was not as easy as her father's, she was able to control the heat very well, and the color of the fried squid was not much different from that of her father.

Deng Shirong praised and said, "Well done. This is how you fry squid next time. Use something else to collect the remaining oil in the pan. I'm going to tear the squid apart while it's still hot."

"Okay, got it!"

…

Two minutes later.

Deng Shirong tore all four squids into strips as big as pen refills, and then said to his children who were watching curiously, "Okay, you can start eating. It's quite sweet to eat it directly. If you dip it in a little salt, it will be even sweeter.

Of course, you can eat it with soy sauce or vinegar, but unfortunately there is no mustard. This thing tastes absolutely amazing when eaten with mustard!"

Deng Yuntai picked up a squid with chopsticks, dipped it in salt, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. The more he chewed, the more delicious it became. He couldn't help but praise, "This tastes so good. No wonder Dad said this is one of the best dishes to go with wine. This squid is just as good as fried bee pupae with wine!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "The taste of fried squid is not worse than fried bee pupae, but fried bee pupae have the advantage that you never get tired of eating them, while fried squid tastes good if you eat it once in a while, but if you eat it often, the taste will gradually not be as amazing as it was at the beginning."

Deng Yunzhen also fell in love with this dish immediately. She commented: "This fried squid tastes really good, with a sweet aroma. After eating one, you want to eat the second one. Unfortunately, as my dad said, eating too much of this will easily cause internal heat."

Deng Yunzhu swallowed the squid in her mouth and said, "This thing tastes better than many snacks. As for getting angry, it's not a big deal. Just drink some red bamboo water!"

For most southerners, getting a sore throat is really an annoying and unavoidable thing. Not to mention eating foods that are extremely irritating, such as fried dough sticks, fried squid, and fried peanuts, even eating dog meat, chicken, lychees, etc. can easily cause a sore throat.

Either the gums are swollen, the tongue is blistered, or the throat is sore. In short, as long as you get angry, you will not be interested in eating dragon meat.

On the other hand, people in the north eat fried foods every day without any problems of getting a sore throat. They are much freer in eating than people in the south.

The reason is the different climates in the north and south.

Some southerners will quickly get a sore throat if they eat hot food in their hometown, but after living in the north for a year or two, they can eat whatever they want without worrying about getting a sore throat.

Similarly, after some northerners have lived in the south for a period of time, although they are better at resisting getting hot than most southerners, they can no longer eat whatever they want like they did in their hometowns, because eating too many hot foods will also cause them to get hot.

It is precisely because people in the south have always been troubled by the problem of getting angry that the famous Guangdong herbal tea came into being.

As for the Danzhu water mentioned by Deng Yunzhu, it was the most commonly used method of reducing fire in the rural areas of Bobai County at that time for the treatment and prevention of fire.

Danzhu water, as the name suggests, is the juice that flows out of the Danzhu.

Find a way to pull down a red bamboo, then cut off the tail of the bamboo and secure it with a rope or other tools. It won't be long before water slowly flows out from the cut site. This is the so-called red bamboo water.

This thing's effect of reducing heat is really first-class.

Therefore, hearing his little daughter say this, Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Don't worry about eating. I'll go get some red bamboo water in a while. When it's midnight, each of you can drink a few sips, and you don't have to worry about getting angry."

Hearing this, the children no longer cared and enjoyed the delicious fried squid.

Deng Shirong and his son Deng Yuntai each poured half a bowl of rice wine and sat in the spacious living room, eating and drinking while chatting about family matters. This comfortable life with their children by their side was exactly what Deng Shirong had been pursuing in his previous life.

…

The next day, Deng Shirong stayed at home and did not go anywhere. He wanted to list the guests who needed to be invited to his eldest son's wedding that day.

In later generations, many newlyweds had a wide range of social contacts, so the biggest headache for them at their wedding was making a guest list. They had to go through the list of people they knew over and over again, for fear of missing any friends.

Once you miss a friend, it’s not just a matter of receiving one less red envelope, but you may very likely lose this friend.

Because in the eyes of this friend, you invited all your friends to your wedding except him. This proves that his position in your heart is just like a passerby. Even if he doesn't turn against you, his relationship with you will gradually fade.

Some newlyweds don't realize they have forgotten a friend after sending out the invitations until the wedding date is approaching. In this case, unless you show your utmost sincerity to remedy the situation, you should personally invite the other party no matter where they live.

Otherwise, if you just make a casual phone call to notify someone, you will most likely lose this friend.

Therefore, the wedding guest list must be checked repeatedly to see if any friends are missed.
