Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

When he got home, Liu Yibang found his sister who had just returned from the forest. "Meilan, I'm going to visit Cao Yuanyuan's house tomorrow. What should I bring?"

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Since this is your first visit, I think you should bring two bottles of good wine and some fruit and pastries. This is the custom in our hometown. I don't know much about this place. Why don't you ask your second uncle and aunt?"

Liu Yibang nodded, "Okay, I'll go ask."

My second aunt was smiling happily. A few days ago, her parents' home called and asked her to go back.

I originally thought that something happened at home, but I didn't expect that Cao Dazhuang asked his sister-in-law to inquire about Liu Yibang from his sister-in-law's family!

What's wrong with this?

Xie Qingya, my sister-in-law, is a really nice person. She is filial and sensible.

My second uncle is a senior official in the Southern Military Region. Although he cannot come over often, he often calls the elderly at home. He is a steady person who can be trusted for life.

There are four children in the family, and each one is better than the other.

To be honest, it is considered high-end for Cao Yuanyuan to find a partner like Liu Yibang.

Cao Dazhuang is considered rich in the local area, at most a wealthy family in the area, but he cannot be compared with the Liu family.

However, the sister-in-law has no preference for the choice of daughter-in-law as long as Liu Yibang likes her, she has good character and there is no criminal in her family.

When Cao Dazhuang found out about the Liu family's situation, any unhappiness in his heart disappeared and he was eagerly waiting for his future son-in-law to come.

After all, no matter how powerful the Liu family is, the Cao family is the female family, so they have to let the male family come first.

My second aunt smiled and said, "It's not necessary to be so particular when you come for the first time! Your second uncle has some good wine at home, bring two bottles! Tomorrow morning, I will go to the town to buy another piece of meat, a few packages of cakes, and some candy. Just bring these four gifts over."

"When you get to the village, if you meet children or adults and they greet you, just give them a handful of candy and be polite. That's all!"

Liu Yibang nodded, "Thank you, second aunt!"

"You're welcome. This is a happy occasion!" Second Aunt smiled. "It's a very lucky thing to find someone who shares the same feelings with you. Just like when I first found your second uncle."

"Many people say that your second uncle gave up his job in the city and became a forest ranger, saying that such a man is irresponsible and has no future."

"But I never thought so. I think your uncle is very thoughtful! Although the job in the city is not bad, being a forest ranger is not bad either. Anyway, since I started dating your uncle, I have never lacked food. I often eat meat, and there is always honey at home, and there are endless pine nuts."

"Of course, the way we dated back then was different from how we do now, but I think the essence will never change. At least you will feel happy when you are with someone you like and who cares about you."

Liu Yibang smiled and nodded, "Second Auntie is right!"

When my second uncle heard what his wife said, he felt a little embarrassed and stepped back.

They are all old things, and it’s embarrassing to talk about them.

When Professor Xie learned that his son was going to Cao Yuanyuan's house tomorrow, he gave him detailed instructions.

"In short, be polite and greet your elders when you see them. If you don't know, you can ask Yuanyuan! Don't be silent, that's very rude."

Liu Yibang nodded, feeling a little nervous, "I know, Mom. How about Meilan, come with me tomorrow?"

Liu Meilan shook her head when she heard this. "I'm not going! How can I bring my partner's sister along when I go to their home for the first time?"

Hearing this, Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Aren't you the sweetest person in our family?"

"I speak the sweetest, but now you need to show your sincerity!" Liu Meilan patted Liu Yibang on the shoulder, "Come on, Comrade Liu Yibang! I'm going shopping with my mother tomorrow, so I won't accompany you!"

Let's go shopping tomorrow and buy some local specialties.

After staying here for more than half a month, it was time for them to pack up and send whatever could be mailed back to Sifang Island.

If you can’t mail it, just carry it with you.

They plan to buy plane tickets and go directly to Ordos.

The next day, the second aunt took Liu Yibang to buy gifts and visited Cao Yuanyuan's home.

Liu Meilan and Professor Xie went to Harbin for a stroll.

First, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy Harbin red sausage. They bought 50 kilograms and packed it in a bag, and then sent it to the post office for direct mailing.

There is also a kind of silk here, which is of very good quality and is mostly used for export.

Professor Xie liked it very much and bought some through his aunt's relationship. These things were not convenient to carry, so they were all mailed.

"Meilan, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Professor Xie asked.

Liu Meilan blinked her eyes and said, "Of course, we should eat the specialties in Harbin."

"Shall I take you to eat Western food?" Professor Xie asked, pointing to a Western restaurant not far away that looked very historical.

Liu Meilan was stunned. "Mom, there are so many Western restaurants in Shenzhen. I came all the way to Harbin and I'm eating Western food?"

Professor Xie smiled and said, "You don't know this. The Western restaurants in Harbin are very unique and have a much longer history than those in Shenzhen."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan looked puzzled, "What's so strange about this?"

Professor Xie replied: "If you know the history of Harbin, you wouldn't ask that question! After the two world wars, there were more and more foreigners in Harbin. The whole city was full of blue-eyed, yellow-haired foreigners, so there were many Western restaurants here."

"That's why there are very authentic Western restaurants here. Roast veal, roast chicken, roast sand chicken, roast tree chicken, curd dumplings, milk rice porridge..."

At that time, there was a saying that foreigners in China were considered exiles. In fact, they came to the food festival, but our national strength was relatively weak at the time. The food was obviously very delicious, but they never said it or promoted it.

"I've heard from your grandfather before that the ecological environment here is very good, so good that people today can't even imagine it. There were a lot of wild game in Western restaurants back then, which gave rise to Western cuisine with very Chinese characteristics."

"Among them, the more famous ones are paper-wrapped bear paws, sago and dragon milk, milk-sand chicken, braised venison in a pot, and crispy and rare meat..." (Source: A Bite of Northeast China, author: Acheng)

Listening to her mother talking about the history of this place, Youmeilan could feel the rich cultural heritage.

During those turbulent years, the Chinese people did not forget to study food while fighting.

Even when Western food came to China, it was given more connotations and wonderful tastes.

Professor Xie took Liu Meilan to a western restaurant, where she had caviar. (Photo)

This caviar comes from salmon. Heilongjiang Province is the only place in the country that produces salmon, and it is very precious.

Salmon, also known as sin fish. (Picture)

Every October, salmon swim day and night back from the Bering Strait in the northern Pacific Ocean, a journey of more than 10,000 kilometers.

Legend has it that they were a group of criminals who had committed crimes and were escorted here by the Matha fish to die, and then provided to the local people to fill their stomachs. (Matha refers to the Hezhe people and the Zilert people)

This fish is very interesting. It grows in rivers, grows up in the sea, and then returns to rivers to die. Its life span is only one year.

Whenever the river water warms in spring and the ice melts, small fish flow into the sea. In the salty muddy water, they grow very fast.

After the beginning of autumn, they stop eating and swim upstream. The female fish bites the male fish's tail and chases him day and night on the rocks in the river, which is commonly known as martyrdom.

The female fish dies after laying her own eggs, which is a very tragic scene.

Listening to her mother telling the story of salmon, Meilan carefully savored the flavor of caviar.

The nutritional value of salmon caviar is very high. It is golden and crystal clear, and looks as beautiful as agate. These caviar are the size of soybeans.

The quantity in one portion is very small, and it is pickled, but the color remains unchanged.

Liu Meilan watched her mother spread butter on the bread with a table knife, then spread a layer of sweet strawberry jam on the knife, and then carefully used the table knife to scoop a few grains of salmon caviar on the bread and ate it with her hands.

It tasted good, but still had a fishy smell.

In order to eliminate the unpleasant fishy smell, people usually put a few shreds of onion in their mouths and chew them together.

Liu Meilan tasted it carefully and could feel the delicious flavor.

She is a seafood lover and has a high tolerance for fishy smells.

After finishing the meal, Professor Xie sighed, "The taste is still the same, but things are different!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Time flies like an arrow. While we regret the passing of time, we still need to move forward."

"Now think about it, isn't it that the only thing that is worthwhile is delicious food? Because it won't change. When you come, you can always eat what you want."

Professor Xie nodded. "I am the only one in my family who likes to eat caviar. Your grandfather would often find ways to get some for me. These are all very fond memories of mine."

"In fact, the Wusuli River also produces another kind of caviar that is more precious than salmon roe, which is sturgeon caviar."

"This caviar is black, a little smaller than a grain of sorghum, and tastes very salty. Others say it smells fishy and has a strong smell of rubber tires, but I just like it."

"Sturgeon meat is also very delicious, and it is best stewed. Someone once gave your grandfather a bottle of sturgeon caviar. I was the only one eating it at the table."

"It shows that everyone's taste and taste buds are different! What others think is delicious may not be what I think is delicious, but what I think is delicious may not be what others think is delicious."

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Mom, so you like caviar!"

Professor Xie smiled and said, "It's not that I like it very much, I just want to eat some when I see it."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Okay, when we get to Shenzhen, I'll often invite the beautiful Ms. Xie to eat Western caviar."

Professor Xie did not reject his daughter's kindness, "Then thank you first!"

Although it will be my daughter's treat, she can pay.

Life must always have some fun and a sense of ritual to be interesting.

While Liu Meilan and Professor Xie were shopping, Liu Yibang was visiting the Cao family.

Cao Yuanyuan has two older brothers and a younger brother, as well as cousins, aunts, uncles and other relatives, making it a whole family.

When Liu Yibang came in carrying the gifts, he felt like he was being stared at by dozens of eyes.

Seeing that Liu Yibang was a little nervous, Cao Yuanyuan reminded him quietly, "Don't be nervous, my uncles, aunts and cousins ​​are all very kind!"

Liu Yibang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! But I can only drink a limited amount of alcohol, so you have to help me later!"

Cao Yuanyuan smiled. It was the first time she saw that the usually calm Liu Yibang could also be panic-stricken.

"Don't worry! Leave it to me later. I promise I won't let you get drunk!"

Liu Yibang nodded, "Then don't lie to me!"

"I'm not lying to you!" Cao Yuanyuan chuckled, "Just show your usual calm personality and deal with them one by one! Remember to smile and be polite!"

Liu Yibang looked at Cao Yuanyuan's beautiful and generous face, and thought of the first time his father came to his grandma and grandpa's house. He was always drunk and seemed to have never been sober.

"What are you looking at?" Cao Yuanyuan asked suspiciously.

Liu Yibang shook his head, "Nothing, I just think you are very beautiful!"

Cao Yuanyuan grinned, "You are also very handsome! Look at the way my aunt and my mother look at you. They are very satisfied and will not embarrass you."

Liu Yibang looked around and found that it was just as Cao Yuanyuan said, the female relatives' eyes and smiles were very friendly, while the male relatives, although smiling, had some ambiguous looks in their eyes.

If it were in the past, he might not understand this feeling, but since he had sister Meilan, especially when she brought Fu Chen to visit their home and confirmed their relationship, he could understand the feelings of the men of the Cao family.

Those are really the best cabbages in our home, and they are about to be snatched away by wild boars.

Of course, there are also people like Ms. Yuan who feel that their pigs have been coaxed away by cabbages.

When we were talking and chatting, it was quite normal.

It was the enthusiasm of the aunts and uncles that made Liu Yibang a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Cao Yuanyuan was there to help and rescue him in time, so Liu Yibang was able to barely hold on.

This is what he has to face, and he has to hold on no matter how difficult it is.

Just chatting, it's okay.

While eating, Liu Yibang saw the glass of white wine, which weighed two taels, and felt numb instantly.

This is to get him drunk!

But maybe it's popular here, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you want to marry a girl here, you have to follow the customs of the girls here.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Liu Yibang's face turned red instantly, but he was not drunk yet.

When it came to the second glass, Liu Yibang was startled when he found that the bottle contained boiled water.

Cao Yuanyuan looked at Liu Yibang and blinked, "Hurry up, toast my dad."

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "Okay!"

Anyway, he was drinking boiled water, so he could handle it. The worst that could happen was that he would have to go to the toilet a few more times.

Cao Dazhuang was a little jealous when he saw Cao Yuanyuan pouring wine for Liu Yibang. "Yuanyuan, come on, pour me a glass."

Cao Yuanyuan clenched the wine bottle in her hand. She couldn't pour wine for her own father, as that would expose her secret.

"Dad, Yibang will leave soon. I need to pour him some wine. Please ask your elder brother to pour you some."

Cao Dazhuang was very upset. It was true that girls were extroverts.

Now that I have a partner, I am becoming more and more disloyal.

"You little girl!" Cao Dazhuang glared at Cao Yuanyuan, then he couldn't bear to scold his daughter, so he looked at Liu Yibang, "Come on, drink this glass!"

Liu Yibang urged him to drink, "Uncle Cao, don't drink so quickly, take your time."

"This is how men should drink. If they are hesitant, they will not be happy." Cao Dazhuang drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, showing great generosity.

Liu Yibang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but the other party had already toasted, so he couldn't be scared.

So he also finished the "wine" in the glass.

Although he was drinking "fake wine", Liu Yibang couldn't act as if nothing had happened. He had to pretend to be gradually drunk.

A special test of acting skills!

However, the people drinking at the table started to look a little drunk, and Liu Yibang imitated them and managed to fool many people.
