attack stream of life

One day during the autumn harvest, Mrs. Gui from the village suddenly came to the educated youth spot, and she also brought an interpreter, the women's director.

She has a happy event at home and wants to ask Chef Yu to help with the wedding banquet. It is not a waste of time. According to the old village rules, a basket of rice noodles, fish, meat and other things will be sent as wages.According to today's rules, only rich people will give some extra money, but in this day and age, no one dares to be "rich", so the salary of a chef is naturally much lower.

Comrade Yu has been here for two or three years, and the villagers also know that there is a traitor among the educated youth group... Bah, a very outstanding girl.

Aside from being round and beautiful, he has a good temper, can work in the fields, and is also a good cook. At first glance, he is a top-notch candidate to run a family and raise children, and he is different from the coquettish sluts in other villages.

I don't know how many aunts in the village have invited the captain's daughter-in-law to find out. Who knows that this girl is the only daughter in the family, and her family's stove skills are passed down.She was raised as a son in her family, so she didn't marry, and only accepted marriage.

This is embarrassing, but there are also people who are willing to marry, and those who have many children are still poor. As long as they can find a wife, it is not a problem to marry.

But people are not picky about everything. Being poor is nothing, but what's the matter, you have to be able to read and read, or will you play the piano to the cow in the future?It's just that those in the village who are willing to send them to study and read must not be too poor.

This is really... It can only be said that there is no fate.

After that, although the aunts were very regretful, they never thought of this girl again.

This noble lady had thought about it before, but later she saw that the girl's condition was good, but she didn't have many sons, only two, how could she be willing to let him kowtow to other ancestors?So I gave up my idea, and went to the surrounding villages to look for a daughter of a family with similar conditions. After dating a few times, I finally fell in love with my current daughter-in-law.

The two families settled down a few months ago, even if they are unmarried couples, now after the autumn harvest, food has been distributed, and the family will have money left over for weddings.Rural women used to be frugal, but such a big event as marriage can't be stingy, you have to have everything you need, otherwise you will be talked about for a lifetime.

Aunt Gui originally wanted to find a master chef in the village to cook, but it was just so unfortunate that the master chef broke his arm a few days ago and had to recuperate for a month or two, so he couldn't do it.But for others in the village, Mrs. Gui can't trust the other party's craftsmanship.

She thought and thought, and went through the available candidates. This one is not good, the meat and vegetables are not good, this is not good, and there is a problem with character... After thinking about it, she still had the cheek to come to the educated youth to check the situation. It's best, if it doesn't work, find someone else.

In the eyes of the villagers, when the educated youth came from the city, everything else was good, except that he was coquettish, and he was busy from midnight to evening for the wedding banquet, and his hands never stopped.With such a tiring job, there is no money in the end, and people may not be willing.

In fact, Comrade Yu actually lacks this kind of opportunity to show off his skills. Now when it comes to a wedding banquet in the village, she is willing to try it even if it doesn't cost much money.

Comrade Yu has been an artist since he was a child. When he was three or four years old, he stepped on a bench and stood in front of the stove. He was familiar with all kinds of pots, pans, shovels and spoons since he was a child.After finally learning to become a teacher, seeing that he was about to enter the state-run hotel to make a big splash, something happened at home.

I won't go into details about what happened, it's nothing more than fighting against each other. Although her father escaped a catastrophe, he was also disheartened and asked his daughter to go to the countryside, at least to keep her head clean.So Comrade Yu went to the countryside, and the biggest pot he touched since then was the broken iron pot ordered by the educated youth.

Think about it, the hero is really short of breath.

Now Mrs. Gui actually came to invite her to have a wedding banquet, and sure enough, the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley.Comrade Yu tried his best to keep his face sullen, not to show too obvious joy.

"Yes, can you make me a menu? I'm so prepared. I don't know if there are any special rules in the village. Is there any special dish that must be cooked?"

Aunt Gui was overjoyed, she thought that Comrade Xiao Yu was really a good comrade, he agreed without saying a word, and he was righteous.She nodded again and again, "Yes, yes. Madam is illiterate, so I'll report it to you."

On the day of Mrs. Gui's son's wedding, Comrade Xiao Yu set off with her kitchen knife and seasoning packet before dawn.It was not easy to get these seasonings together, some had to be bought at the pharmacy, Comrade Xiao Yu went to the county town twice for this matter, and finally got the things ready.

The weather is beautiful, it is rainy and rainy.There is no need to go to work in rainy days, and the rain is not too heavy. A strand of catkins that look like flying will give everyone time to attend the wedding. Bring a little vegetable grown at home, dried salted fish, or a few eggs, and you will be able to straighten up the wedding. Sit on the table and have a good meal.

Mrs. Gui also invited the educated youths, a group of more than a dozen of them discussed internally, each of them pooled some money and tickets, and went to the town to buy a pair of red tin thermos bottles.Ask the dexterous comrades to cut out a pair of Double Happiness and paste them on, how beautiful they look.

Mrs. Gui likes it very much, they are decent and practical, looking at these educated youths is almost like looking at her own nephew.

There are few industrial tickets in rural areas, and even if there are, they are still saving to buy necessities such as iron pans and kitchen knives. Few people are extravagant enough to buy thermos bottles.This gift from the educated youths was really sent to the heart of Mrs. Gui. She wanted to buy it at first, but she didn't have an industrial ticket, and now she got a pair for nothing.

This pair of bright red tin thermos bottles was placed in the wedding room, adding to the joy.Be careful with this, a thermos bottle can last for decades.

After giving gifts, the educated youths took up two tables, and the villagers also thought it should be the case. As for a pair of thermos bottles, they had to be bought by themselves, and the industrial tickets alone would take several years.That is to say, these educated youths have family members in the city and tickets in their hands, so they are willing to use their precious industrial tickets for thermos bottles.Some families in the village who do not have industrial tickets are still cooking in casserole.

The educated youths in the village don't make trouble, as long as they don't mention work, most villagers have a good impression of them.The appearance and family background are not bad, but the work is a bit delicate, but it is understandable. The children in the city have never done farm work since they were young.According to the old saying, these are all young talents who never go to the ground.

After a meal today, everyone's impression of the educated youth seems to be even better.

Not to mention the educated youths who gave gifts, they are better than those who take two pickles and drag their families to eat and drink.

Ouch, Comrade Xiaoyu's craftsmanship is really good.

The villagers have always defined gourmet food as big fish and big meat, but today this idea seems to be wavering.

How is that sizzling taro made?Served with a squeaky sound, there is a layer of crystal clear thick soup poured on the outside. The square taro is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Why does it still smell like meat when you eat it?It doesn't have the greasy smell of fat meat and the unique fishy smell of pork.

There is also the plain spare ribs, I heard that they are made of noodles, they are crunchy, salty and delicious, and they can almost be regarded as real spare ribs.It also has the unique sweetness of pasta, the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes, but the filling on the outside is salty. The combination of the two tastes is really wonderful.

There is also a bowl of warm vegetable soup with shredded fish, meat and eggs, which is thick and delicious, beautiful in color and fragrant, and it is also good for the elderly and children.Even if it was still very hot when it was served, it was snatched up in the blink of an eye.

If these vegetarian and half meat dishes are cooked well, the big meat dishes will be even more beautiful.

The top-quality pork belly lay crystal clear on a snow-white plate piece by piece. The skin was reddish-brown and very chewy. The fat meat was burnt translucent, smooth like cheese, and the lean meat was full of soup. It was as if the essence of the whole pig had been eaten into his mouth.Eating pork alone is greasy, so there is a pile of sauce in the middle, which is also a semi-transparent thick sauce, amber in color, with a little red chili flakes floating, slightly sweet, slightly sour and slightly spicy, like some kind of jam and chili mixture .

It was the first time for the villagers to try roasted pork with jam. It was such an anti-traditional thing that everyone accepted it well.

Braised crucian carp in soy sauce, the belly of the fish is cleaned and stuffed with marinated fillings, made with meat, eggs, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other fresh ingredients.The crucian carp is already fresh, and with the stuffing in the belly, it is more delicious than in the past when cooked by yourself, without the unique fishy smell of fish, and the fish meat is even more delicious, it is simply an ideal appetizer for wine.

There is also the white-cut chicken that looks very simple, a clean plate, it seems easy to make.However, once you eat it, you will notice the difference. Each piece of chicken contains layers of jelly, which is collagen.Even the chicken breast is not dry, and every bite is fragrant.

Auntie Gui saw that everyone was eating happily, and she applauded from time to time, laughing so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.It turned out that the family objected to her going to the educated youth to be the cook, hmph, now you know that Jiang is still old and hot, right?People's craftsmanship can be opened in a big city, and it has been passed down for generations. Can it be the same as the things that the villagers make by themselves?

Young people, you still need to practice more, your knowledge is too short!

Among other things, how can the chefs in the village be so particular?Do you still care about whether things look good on the plate?But Comrade Xiao Yu can make the food delicious and beautiful.

Spending so much money to marry a wife, and buying so many things for the wedding, isn't it just for the excitement?

Aunt Gui was very satisfied, she even quietly left two taels of meat and stuffed it into the basket, planning to let Comrade Xiao Yu take it back later.

After the banquet, Comrade Xiao Yu came back with a basket of thank you gifts.

There are two taels of lean meat, a few chicken wings, a fish, a few eggs, sweet potatoes, a handful of side dishes, etc., as well as fifty cents wrapped in red paper, which is considered a very high-standard thank you gift in the village.

She refused politely, this is the reward she deserves, and it is also a rule that if she is invited to cook in the future, she must follow this.This is the village, and you want to invite the heir to the royal chef for this little thing in the city?Just dreaming.

After a busy day, Xiao Yu went to sleep when he came back. In the evening, everyone used roasted sweet potatoes to deal with the meal.Comrade Xiaohua, who was in the same room as her, tiptoed out, "Little Yu'er was so tired that he fell asleep after eating a sweet potato. Shall I make it tomorrow morning?"

Comrade Xiaohua's words are very false. She doesn't cook at home, and she hasn't developed a knack for cooking when she comes here.Even if I watched Comrade Xiaoyu busy every day, I didn't steal any skills from him. The things I made can only be said to be unambiguous, not raw, edible, and don't ask for more.

"Let me come. The lesbians have worked hard cooking, and I will take a rest tomorrow." Zhao Ming said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.Gay men who can cook are rare these days, whether in the village or in the city.

"You know how to do it? Don't spoil a good thing."

"Yes, I'm just not good at controlling fire, so I need to find someone to help me control fire." Zhao Ming was full of confidence.It's really not bragging, he is born to cook, and he comes right away.

Everyone can only agree half-believingly, but in fact, they still have some distrust in their hearts.Look at this young man who is white and bookish, how can he look like someone who can cook?What's more, the stoves used in the village are more difficult to burn than the coal used in the city.

However, the next day, the aroma from the kitchen told everyone that people should not be judged by their appearance.

"It smells so good, it's porridge with preserved egg and lean meat." The old gourmet in the crowd reported the name accurately.

The preserved egg and lean meat porridge has a warm fragrance like home. It is warm and has a fragrance that stimulates the spleen and stomach.The fragrance spun around inside and outside the house, and woke up all the sleeping people. Even Comrade Xiao Yu, who went to bed late today, poked his head out in his pajamas, sniffed and sniffed, the instinct of a chef It happened.

"The porridge has a rich aroma. It is the first-class round-grained rice soaked for half an hour. It is boiled slowly for more than two hours. The porridge rice grains are loose but not loose, and the soup is clear and sticky. It can be drawn with chopsticks. Minced lean meat, simply use cooking wine, onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, and it will only smell fragrant after cooking. There are also well-marinated preserved eggs, the egg yolk is green on the outside and yellow on the inside, and the softness is moderate." She took another breath, carefully Identify, "Finally add chopped green onion, fine salt, etc. to taste..."

Her roommate was dumbfounded, discovering for the first time that the chef turned out to be such a magical creature.

Comrade Spectacles didn't care what kind of porridge it was, he just felt that he was even more hungry after smelling it, he hurriedly put on his clothes, his face was unwashed and his hair was not combed, and he passed by with his enamel cup in his arms, "starved to death I'm sorry, Comrade Xiaohua, please have a bowl."

Comrade Xiaohua with two pigtails looked at him with disgust, but he still gave him a big spoonful of preserved egg and lean pork porridge.

"Do we still have preserved eggs?" Comrades came over one after another, all holding their own lunch boxes and enamel cups.

"I pickled it before, and if I don't eat it, I will get old." Zhao Ming said.

"Oh, it's those precious pot-bellied pots of yours?" an educated youth asked without raising his head while purring porridge into his mouth.

"One can is salted eggs, the other is preserved eggs, and there is also homemade fruit wine."

"Really, I saw Comrade Zhaoming's marinated duck eggs and the fruit wine he made with my own eyes." The person in the same room with Zhaoming slobbered and counted with his fingers, "A can of pomegranate wine, a can of mulberry wine, a can of bayberry wine, a Canned wild wine, he bought pomegranates from the county, and mulberries, red bayberries and wild grapes were picked from the back mountains, isn’t it clear?”

"Yes." Zhaoming said with a smile.

"Houshan? The villagers said that there are wild boars and wolves in Houshan. I heard that there used to be leopards."

"It's okay. In 60 years, there was no food. They turned over the mountain again, and those beasts ran deeper into the mountain. Don't forget, I caught rabbits in a bamboo forest in the back a few years ago. .We also fried bamboo worms.”

"How long ago, I forgot."

Comrade Xiao Yu came not too late, she picked up the bowl and sniffed, took a sip, took another sip, drank it all in a while, wiped her mouth, and then let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm alive again. Comrade Zhaoming's porridge is really good, better than mine, did you make it at home before?"

"It's better than Sister Xiaoyu's cooking?" Everyone looked in disbelief.

"It's better than my cooking." Xiao Yu said affirmatively, "I'm not good at everything."

Zhaoming also said, "I only know a few kinds."

"Oh, I can't tell, you still have this skill. Comrade Zhaoming, I have to learn from you, otherwise if Comrade Xiaoyu goes back in the future, I will starve myself to death."

Zhaoming chuckled, "It's not difficult, you can learn it a few times at a time."

"Gentlemen still learn this? Let your daughter-in-law do it in the future." Another educated youth said.

"You can't just point at your daughter-in-law. Everyone has a headache, and they have to wait for you at that time."

"All the girls these days can earn money. In the future, when a girl is married, she has to earn money to support the family, and also has to do laundry and cooking. Then why does she marry? Do multiple people take care of you? Comrade Zhaoming, I think you are like this. That's fine, keep it up."

Everyone held bowls in their hands and chattered, and the topic turned faster and faster, turning to the positioning of men and women in the family.Ever since girls were able to go to work to earn money, those little daughters-in-law and big girls have become more and more tempered and their ideas have become more positive.Some people adapt quickly to this transition, but others don't.

Those who can't adapt quickly will inevitably complain a few words, and everyone doesn't take it seriously, even a few lesbians don't take it seriously.

If he doesn't marry her, regardless of whether he is a machismo, Mimi will at most quietly delete this person from the candidate list.But those few who said they were willing to share the housework, you can take a closer look, what if you can't go back?Educated youths from the city are more suitable than rural youths, at least they have a common language.

Today the eyes of the girls still shine with the wisdom of life.
