Jia Dongsheng didn't know what was going on in Xiaodang's head. If he knew, he would definitely tap her forehead and praise her, "You clever little girl."
He took out a few pieces of candy and gave them to Xiaodang, asking her to share them with Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and Qin Jingru. Then Jia Dongsheng went into the kitchen with a smile.
He is not eating at home today, but he has to cook the duck he bought.
He used half of the duck to make old duck soup, and stewed the remaining half with mushrooms and vermicelli. The soup and the dish were not greasy, which was perfect for pregnant women.
After finishing his work, Jia Dongsheng asked Qin Huairu to watch the fire and went to the backyard with two bottles of beer.
"Dongsheng, come here."
Lou Xiao'e was in the yard. When she saw Jia Dongsheng coming, she immediately gave him a big smile.
"Well, what are you doing here?"
After a quick glance, Jia Dongsheng saw no one in the backyard. Puzzled, he joked, "You're not waiting for me here, are you?"
"You are so beautiful." Lou Xiaoe gave Jia Dongsheng a beautiful eye roll.
"I just came out from the old lady and chatted with her for a while."
After smoothing her wind-messed hair, she continued, "The old lady is very nice and said a lot of good things about you."
"Say something nice about me?"
Jia Dongsheng smiled, half-smiled, "Who else can you say good things about besides me?"
"And there's Sha Zhu from the Central Courtyard." Lou Xiao'e replied naturally.
Well, this old lady is starting to pave the way now!
Speaking of which, there is a big flaw in the drama, which is that the deaf old lady locked Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e in the house, which led to Sha Zhu's pregnancy and Lou Xiao'e's pregnancy.
Many people said that it was not a good thing for a woman to get pregnant before marriage in the 1960s.
In fact, the deaf old lady's meaning was very clear. Give Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e a chance. If they like each other, they can get married and live together.
How could Lou Xiao'e get pregnant before marriage?
So, although what the deaf old lady did was inappropriate, it was not a mistake.
However, things turned out to be unexpected. Lou Xiao'e was unable to stay and followed the rich man to Hong Kong. Otherwise, Sha Zhu's status as a hired farmer could have been kept as long as Lou Xiao'e was willing to marry Sha Zhu.
For example, Xu Damao now, as long as the two of them don't have a big fight, Xu Damao will be able to protect Lou Xiaoe when the storm comes. How could it be that simple for the son-in-law specially chosen by the rich man Lou Xiaoe to be so simple?
All I can say is that things are unpredictable and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
"Didn't the old lady praise Damao at all?" Jia Dongsheng joked.
"No."
Lou Xiao'e was still relatively innocent now. She shook her head and indicated that she didn't. "The old lady doesn't seem to like Damao very much. I don't know why."
"The old lady in the courtyard doesn't have many children she likes, so she only treats Shazhu like her own grandson."
"Yeah?"
Lou Xiao'e had just entered the hospital and didn't see much.
"Yes, didn't you see that when Shazhu had nothing to do, he liked to carry the old lady for a walk?"
"I see..."
The two of them exchanged a few words and then entered the Jia family's house. Xu Damao and Nan Yi both chatted enthusiastically.
Seeing the two of them come in together, Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't think much about it. Instead, he smiled and greeted Jia Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you."
"wait for me?"
Jia Dongsheng couldn't help but say: "What's there to wait for? Nan Yi is also a chef. Let him do it and let me eat a ready-made meal. It's not bad. Don't wait next time."
"Haha, Nan Yi said that he would let you do it so that he can take the opportunity to learn. He said that his craftsmanship is far worse than yours."
"Yes, Dongsheng, your skills are better than mine. You have to teach me more in the future."
Nan Yi also stood up, rubbing his hands. He was still very convinced of Jia Dongsheng's cooking skills.
"No problem. We'll have plenty of time to work together in the future. Once you get to the factory, you'll have no choice but to learn."
After a few jokes, Jia Dongsheng was about to ask if the ducks were ready when Xu Damao spoke first: "Dongsheng, why did you bring your own wine to my place? Even if you want a beer, just tell me and I'll ask Xiao'e to buy some."
"You big fool, you're still ordering Lou Xiao'e around. If you don't treat Lou Xiao'e well, you might end up getting stolen away by Sha Zhu."
After secretly complaining in his heart, Jia Dongsheng said on the surface: "Hey, this wine is not for you to drink, but for cooking."
"Cooking?"
Not to mention Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, even Nan Yi, the chef, had a look of surprise on his face.
Then, Nan Yi couldn't wait to ask: "Dongsheng, can beer be used to cook?"
In fact, domestic beer production has indeed been very short. It has been available in Northeast China since 1900, but ordinary people could not drink the beer that was first produced.
They are all for foreigners or the top people in society to drink.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country built factories on a large scale, which made it possible for ordinary people to drink beer. However, beer in the 1960s was much more expensive than bulk liquor and sorghum liquor, so ordinary people were still reluctant to drink it.
Therefore, it is difficult to spread, which also leads to the fact that not many people even drink it. Who would use beer to cook? Isn’t that more luxurious?
"Of course I can cook. This is a dish I developed when I was wandering with my master. It is used to cook duck, and I gave it a resounding name." Jia Dongsheng raised his head slightly, as if very proud.
In reality, it was all a joke, a posturing.
Of course, Lou Xiao'e was very impressed by this and was eager to know what the dish was, so she asked, "What's its name?"
"Beer duck."
"What a lousy name."
Upon hearing the name, Xu Damao couldn't help but complain: "You're really saving yourself the trouble. A dish made with beer and duck is called beer duck. So if you use beer and chicken or fish to make a dish, would it be called beer chicken or beer fish?"
"Oh, Damao, I didn't realize you're such a talented person."
After Jia Dongsheng finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
Xu Damao didn't understand that Jia Dongsheng was just joking, but he was still very curious: "Dongsheng, can you really use beer to make other dishes?"
Lou Xiao'e and Nan Yi also wanted to know the answer to this question, and they looked at Jia Dongsheng eagerly.
"Of course."
Jia Dongsheng said: "As a chef, I am naturally very interested in innovating various dishes. After making beer duck, of course I want to make more beer-related dishes. After so many years of research, I can easily make 10 to 20 dishes."
"thump."
Just after he finished speaking, before Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e could react, Nan Yi had already plopped down on his knees, looking at Jia Dongsheng with admiration, and clasped his fists: "Master, please accept me as your disciple."
That’s right, Nan Yi admired Jia Dongsheng so much that he knelt down and wanted to become his disciple on the spot.
Such an action shocked Jia Dongsheng and the other two. They looked at each other in silence for a long time!
