Chapter 399 Canned Seafood
Chen Guanghai's eyes, which had just dimmed, immediately brightened up again: "Sister, if you have any good ideas, tell me quickly."
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, have you ever thought about making canned seafood?"
"Canned seafood?"
Chen Guanghai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "We don't have that kind of cooking skills. If it doesn't taste good, it will be a waste. Besides, this thing always comes with soup, so it's not very convenient to transport."
"That's easy to solve. On the way here, I saw a craftsman making tinware here. If you have canned food, you can ask them to make custom tin cans. Using tin cans to store food can keep it fresh and is convenient for transportation."
Chen Guanghai was still a little hesitant: "But this taste...what if it doesn't work well and can't sell?"
Anyway, no matter what seafood his wife cooks, it always has a fishy smell, and most women in the village are the same.
"Don't worry about this, I can make it, and my skills are pretty good. If you have any seafood ready, I can make it for you to try in a while."
After all, she is a modern food blogger and she thinks her cooking skills are pretty good. In modern times, many friends who have tasted her cooking have urged her to open a shop.
Chen Guanghai became excited again and slammed the table: "There are a few big knife fish under the cellar at home. I'll get them for you right away."
Wang Xiujuan slapped him on the back of the head: "No matter how anxious you are, you should let Comrade Xiao Su eat first. Why are you so anxious?"
"Yes, yes, eat first. Eating is important."
Chen Guanghai had a simple smile on his face. He was so busy making money that he forgot to eat. Only when he had some free time did he feel a little hungry.
I've been busy all afternoon and haven't eaten. I just had a fight with the grandson from the next village. I've consumed a lot of energy, so how can I not be hungry?
The family sat down to eat again, and Wang Xiujuan realized that the small bag of braised beef with soy sauce that Su Xiaoxiao brought was almost completely shown off by the three naughty kids and Chen Lingling.
At this moment, four people were fighting for the last piece of braised beef with soy sauce, and their chopsticks were almost leaving afterimages in the air.
Wang Xiujuan felt terribly embarrassed and said, "Comrade Su, I'm so sorry. I'll buy you another half pound of beef tomorrow."
Su Xiaoxiao was busy imagining the future with Chen Guanghai, and only then did she realize that there was only a piece of oil paper left of the braised beef that she had been reluctant to eat.
Chen Laosan was still licking the oil paper.
Chen Guanghai's eyes went dark again and again. These embarrassing things happened to embarrass him in front of guests.
He tried to save his precarious face: "Sister, this kid is just greedy. Actually, our family conditions are not that bad. We can eat meat twice a month."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Laosan directly exposed his true identity: "Dad, how can you lie so openly? We only eat meat twice a year, once on August 15th and once during the Chinese New Year. Usually we only eat leftover fish..."
Before he could finish his words, Boss Chen rushed over and covered his mouth tightly. Didn’t he see that their father’s face turned black and their mother was about to be beaten with a broom?
Does this brat want to win the mixed doubles?
For a moment, Chen Guanghai felt that he had lost all his dignity and face.
In fact, this is the situation in most families these days. They only eat meat a few times a year, and if they do eat it occasionally, they probably have to show off so that the whole village knows about it.
They can be poor, but they cannot let outsiders know that they are really poor. The reason for asking is to save face.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. Once your canned seafood business is successful, your family will definitely be well-off. Maybe we can even eat meat every day then."
"Sister, are you telling the truth?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Laosan stood up immediately. If Chen Laoda hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed over and hugged Su Xiaoxiao's thighs on the spot.
This kid is also a foodie. When he hears the word "eat", his eyes seem to be bursting with sparks.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Really, sister never tells lies."
Chen Guanghai also nodded: "Your sister Su is from a big city, so what she says must be true."
The three half-grown children immediately cheered and said they would be so happy if they could eat meat once a month.
Chen Guanghai looked at the three children and sighed. The oldest of them was thirteen years old, and the youngest was eight or nine years old. They were as thin as chickens, and their ribs could be clearly seen when they were shirtless in the summer.
Alas, it’s all because he’s a useless father.
I hope that the canned food business proposed by Comrade Su can really make their village richer.
After dinner, Chen Guanghai couldn't wait to go to the cellar and take out some stored hairtail.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and found that the quality of the fish was very good, all of them were cutlass fish about four or five fingers wide.
She rolled up her sleeves and got to work right away.
Wang Xiujuan took the initiative to help her process the hairtail, while Chen Lingling took the initiative to take on the task of making fire.
With someone to lend a hand, Su Xiaoxiao was happy to have some free time and just start making the work.
Su Xiaoxiao plans to make a spicy hairtail dish that is delicious with rice.
The method is also very simple. First, fry the hairtail fish, then take it out, pour out some of the oil, add pepper, ginger, onion, garlic, etc. to the remaining meat, fry until fragrant, then add the hairtail fish and add chili, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings. Since there was no cooking wine, she asked for a little white wine, and finally added a ladle of water and waited for it to be served.
Wang Xiujuan watched her fry so many deep-fried fish at once, and her heart ached, but when she thought that this was for the whole village, she forced herself to hold it back.
When I saw Su Xiaoxiao adding both chili and sugar, I felt deeply worried.
This is spicy, salty and sweet. Can it be delicious?
Just as I was thinking about it, fragrance came out of the pot.
She felt a little relieved when she found that the smell seemed to be good.
If she didn't put so many good things in and it still didn't taste good, she would be so upset.
Ever since they smelled the fragrance, the three brothers Chen Lao Da have been squatting beside the stove, staring at it eagerly, their saliva almost dripping to the ground.
Time passed minute by minute. Su Xiaoxiao lifted the lid of the pot to see if the soup was almost liquid, then she picked up the plate and started to serve.
A plate of bright red hairtail with thick soup came out of the pot. The whole family gathered around, smelling the fragrance in the air, and their saliva was secreted uncontrollably.
This smells so good.
We’ve cooked hairtail at home before, but it was fishy and had a lot of bones, so the kids didn’t like it very much.
But now, looking at the steaming plate of hairtail, the three children couldn't take their eyes off it.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three little guys swallowing their saliva with some amusement, and said, "Okay, everyone try it and give us your opinions. We can improve on any inappropriate parts."
When Chen Laosan heard that it was time to eat, he immediately shouted excitedly and was about to pounce on it.
But Wang Xiujuan grabbed him by the back of his neck and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Comrade Su hasn't eaten yet. Are you being criticized?"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and smiled at Su Xiaoxiao: "Comrade Su, you go first."
Su Xiaoxiao was about to refuse when there was a sudden knock on the door.
