Chapter 466 Qin Jingru

Wang Zhong had just entered the house, but the fish he caught this time was indeed big enough, a silver carp weighing thirteen kilograms.

However, the body of silver carp doesn't really taste that good, but the fish head tastes great.

Wang Zhong quickly disemboweled the fish, took out the internal organs, and cut off the head of the fish. While he was packing it away, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Who?"

"It's me!" Qin Huairu's voice came into the room.

Wang Zhong said: "Come in, the door is unlocked!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and the sound of two footsteps getting closer and closer.

"I heard BangGeng said you caught a big fish?"

Qin Huairu asked as soon as she entered the door.

"It's being cleaned up!" Wang Zhong was massaging the cut fish head in his hand, and the fish body was placed in the pool, like the remains of an abandoned pair of shoes.

"This fish must weigh at least ten kilograms!" Even though the fish's head and body have now been separated, the two sisters were still shocked by the huge size of the fish.

"A little more than thirteen kilograms!" Wang Zhong said.

"Can such a big fish be caught?" The surprise in the eyes of the two sisters was written on their faces.

"Good luck, good luck!" Wang Zhong looked at Qin Huairu who was following Qin Huairu and asked with a smile: "Sister Qin, why don't you introduce me?"

While Qin Huairu was talking, Qin Jingru put the basket in her hand on the table with some restraint.

From the moment she walked in, Qin Jingru's eyes never left the tall young man working in front of the stove.

At 1.8 meters tall, he is not too outstanding in the north, but his strong body makes his body extremely thick. There is a conflicting atmosphere between his eyebrows that is both heroic and elegant. I think of Qin Huai at home last night. Everything Ru said about this man made Qin Jingru's curiosity grow and spread like a rooted weed.

Wang Zhong's facial features are sharp and angular, like a knife and an axe. They cannot be compared with handsomeness, but they are very attractive. There is a strong masculine atmosphere all over his body. The green stubble on his chin makes him even more masculine. taste.

Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment.

Only then did Qin Huairu come back to her senses and hurriedly introduced the two of them: "This is my cousin Qin Jingru. Cousin, this is the Wang Zhong I told you, technician Wang."

Wang Zhong immediately put down the fish head in his hand, washed his hands with soap, wiped them clean, then walked to the hall, stretched out his hand to Qin Jingru, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, sister Jingru, I am Wang Zhong, nice to meet you. To you."

"Hello, Technician Wang! I'm very happy to see you too!" A strong masculine scent hit her nostrils. Looking at the tall and heroic young man in front of her, Qin Jingru felt that her face was hot, and she looked back in panic, lowering her head shyly. , not daring to look at Wang Zhong.

"Don't be nervous. Sister Qin is just like my sister. When you come to my place, you treat it like you are going back to your own home. Don't be polite. Come sit down and have a cup of tea first!"

As Wang Zhong was about to pour tea, Qin Huairu said hurriedly: "You go about your business first. You don't need to greet us. We just heard that you were back and sent you something. We just made dinner at home, so we still need it." Let’s go back to eat.”

"Look at me, I just came back from outside, and I haven't made lunch yet. How about this? I'll make this fish in the evening. How about you two come to my house for a meal together and try my cooking skills?" Wang Zhong took advantage of the situation and sent out the invitation.

Qin Huairu glanced at her cousin, who was now full of Wang Zhong, and then at the big fish lying on the chopping board next to the pool, and said, "Isn't it too much trouble?"

"If there's any trouble, Sister Qin, don't treat me like an outsider. When the time comes, bring Bangge and the other brothers and sisters with you. By the way, forget about your mother-in-law."

Qin Huairu was stunned by what Wang Zhong said, but she still nodded: "Okay, then Jingru and I will come over to help you in the afternoon!"

"Then let's go back first and you get busy first."

"Okay, then I won't keep you guys."

When the two sisters came out of Wang Zhong's house, Qin Jingru looked back three times with every step, her reluctance almost written all over her face.

"Cousin, why doesn't Technician Wang let you bring Grandma Banggeng over?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Qin Huairu told Qin Jingru how Wang Zhong helped her and how Jia Zhang had trouble with her.

"Ah! How could she do this? Cousin, you are doing this for the sake of your family. Why doesn't she allow you to help Technician Wang clean up the house?" Qin Jingru couldn't understand whether it was from the perspective of her cousin or a bystander. Jia Zhang's behavior.

Qin Huairu shook her head and said helplessly: "Who knows!"

It's just that his eyes are somewhat twinkling.

"Why did I feel something was wrong as soon as I entered your house today?" Qin Jingru said in hindsight.

The two sisters held hands and returned to Jia's house while talking. There was something even more disgusting that Qin Huairu didn't tell Qin Jingru.

At noon, Wang Zhong made some dough and dealt with it briefly. In the afternoon, at only three o'clock, Qin Huairu came to the door with Qin Jingru.

"You are here just in time, help me wash all these dishes!" As soon as the two sisters entered the door and exchanged a few words, Wang Zhong directed the two sisters to start working.

Qin Huairu has long been used to working, and Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu had already explained Wang Zhong's conditions to her clearly before coming here, so she didn't think there was anything wrong. Anyway, she had to work at home, and she had to work in the fields at home. Woolen cloth.

Qin Jingru's eyes lit up when she saw the three kilograms of fat and thin mutton.

After a while, the two sisters washed a basket of cabbage, coriander, bean sprouts, and radishes cleanly.

Wang Zhong dug out a copper stove in the corner and said, "Sister Qin, this copper stove has not been used for a while. It needs to be cleaned thoroughly."

"Sister, don't you worry about your work?" Qin Huairu held the stove and entered the toilet.

Wang Zhong picked up the mutton that Qin Jingru had washed, and instead of putting it outside to freeze in the snow, he directly cut the fresh raw mutton into thin slices of even thickness with his knife.

Qin Huairu, who had washed the copper stove, followed Qin Jingru to make steamed buns from the dough Wang Zhong had kneaded. Wang Zhong was preparing to chop the fish head with peppers. After sending the fish and steamed buns to the steamer, he kneaded a small ball again. White flour, rolled into noodles.

By the time everything was tidied up, it was almost 04:30. Banggeng and his two sisters knew that they were going to have dinner at Wang Zhong's house today, so they came over early to wait and stopped playing wildly in the alley.

Put the huge fish head into a special large casserole, sprinkle with minced garlic and chopped green onion, and pour a spoonful of hot oil. The aroma will spread out instantly, filling the whole room in an instant.

Not to mention Bangge and the two younger sisters, even Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

A fish head with chopped peppers, a copper stove to cook mutton, and a few vegetables. The staple food is white steamed buns and noodles. The noodles are cooked in advance and placed in cold water. Later, they are dipped into the fish head soup. The taste is absolutely indescribable.

Three kilograms of mutton were placed on several plates, and everyone couldn't help but drool just looking at the meat.

BangGeng is already restless.

The two plates of mutton were first poured into the copper stove. Under the charcoal fire, the milky white soup began to boil in a short while. "Eat it!"

Wang Zhong picked up the dipping water and picked up a chopstick of mutton first. He put the mutton into the dipping dish, rolled it around, and put it into his mouth. He didn't even bother to cook the stick, and stood up and stretched his chopsticks into the copper stove.

Although Qin Jingru was also very greedy, she temporarily suppressed her strong desire for food. She first gave her niece Xiaodang, who was sitting next to her, a chopstick of mutton, and then gave it to herself.

Although Qin Huairu also wanted to eat, she still had to take care of the little Sophora japonica beside her, so she could only swallow her saliva and give it to her daughter first.

"It's so hot! It's so hot!" Banggeng ate too quickly. The hot mutton made him exhale, but he still refused to spit the mutton back into the bowl.

"Eat slowly, there's still mutton!" Wang Zhong couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile.

Banggeng was busy dealing with the hot mutton in his mouth and had no time to reply. Qin Jingru was also a little anxious at first, but seeing that Wang Zhong was eating so gracefully and looking at herself and others, she immediately became reserved and turned her head to look first. Xiao Dang, who was standing next to her, told her to eat slowly, not to be in a hurry, and to be careful not to burn her mouth.

"Sister Jingru, don't patronize Xiaodang, you should eat too."

Qin Jingru raised her eyes and glanced at Wang Zhong, nodded and picked up a chopstick of mutton.

Although there is no great skill in mutton-shabu-shabu, he is very particular about the quality of the soup base, mutton and dipping sauce. This mutton was specially brought by Wang Zhong, so the quality is naturally not good.

The soup base is made from old hens and pig bones, with an appropriate amount of red dates and wolfberries. As for the dipping sauce, Wang Zhong personally prepared it using sesame paste, peanut butter, sesame oil, coriander, chives, etc. The proportions are very good. , so that the flavor of the dipping sauce will not overwhelm the taste of the mutton itself, and it can also bring out the fresh fragrance of the mutton to the greatest extent.

As soon as the mutton was in his mouth, Qin Jingru's eyes lit up instantly like twinkling stars in the dark night.

"good to eat!"

"This mutton is so delicious!" Qin Jingru almost cried because of the delicious food. Although Banggeng and the others lived a tight life with Qin Huairu, they could still eat meat during the holidays, but Qin Jingru's life in the countryside But it's not as comfortable as in the city, especially in recent years. It's common to go hungry, let alone eat meat.

Just during the Chinese New Year, I can smell some meat.

"If it's delicious, eat more of it, and don't be polite to me!" Wang Chong said with a smile.

Looking at the smiling Wang Zhong, eating the delicious hotpot mutton, Qin Jingru felt that she had completely fallen and could no longer extricate herself.

"Technician Wang..."

"Hey! What I call Technician Wang is too foreign. If you don't mind, just call me Brother!"

"Brother Wang!" Qin Jingru's pretty face also showed a smile: "Your craftsmanship is also very good. This mutton is the most delicious mutton I have ever eaten in my life."

Wang Zhong said: "Although the mutton is delicious, the fish head is not bad either. Sister Jingru, why don't you try it?"

Following what Wang Zhong said, she looked over and saw the green and red chopped peppers on the fish head. Qin Jingru felt a little scared, but Wang Zhong had said so. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire ahead, Qin Jingru had to go through it.

Qin Jingru looked at the smile on Wang Zhong's face, stretched out her chopsticks towards the casserole of chopped pepper fish head, and found a piece of meat near the belly area of ​​the fish head. She couldn't help but glance at Wang Zhong again, and then Place a bowl underneath and put the fish into your mouth.

The hot and sour flavors meet in the mouth, and the fresh aroma stimulated by the hot oil wraps around the fish, blooming in the mouth along with a light sour and spicy feeling.

Qin Jingru didn't know how to describe this feeling. She just felt that it was a delicious food that she had never tasted before. For a moment, she subconsciously closed her eyes and savored it carefully.

I had known for a long time that the three Banggeng brothers and sisters were going to come over for dinner together. How could Wang Zhong make the fish head with chopped peppers so spicy? Even the chopped peppers were carefully selected. The aroma was rich, but the spiciness was almost non-existent. For those who like spicy food, this kind of chili naturally lacks some stimulation to the taste buds, but for northerners who basically don’t eat spicy food, it is just right.

The aroma of chili peppers and the unique pungent taste after pickling completely suppress the remaining fishy smell in the fish head, adding fragrance and freshness.

"How is it?" Wang Zhong's voice brought Qin Jingru back to reality from her intoxication.

"It's delicious!" Qin Jingru immediately nodded as if pounding garlic: "It's so delicious."

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru suspiciously and said, "Is it so delicious?"

It's not that Qin Huairu doesn't believe in Wang Zhong's cooking skills. As one of the people who has personally tasted Wang Zhong's cooking, Qin Huairu naturally understands Wang Zhong's cooking skills that are not inferior to those of Sha Zhu. It's just that this red dish is covered with chili peppers. Are the fish heads really so delicious?

"Cousin, you will know after you try it!"

As soon as Qin Jingru finished speaking, before Qin Huairu could take action, the stickman next to her held a chopstick against the fish head with chopped peppers.

Children of Banggan's age like this kind of food with a bit of spiciness and a slightly strong taste. This is the time when they take one bite, and then the second, and third bite.

Just like some people who say they can't eat spicy food when eating, but when they eat spicy strips, they are not inferior to those who are addicted to spicy food.

"good to eat!"

"Mom, try it quickly!"

Banggeng was still somewhat filial, so he quickly reminded Qin Huairu that seeing his son saying this, Qin Huairu quickly picked up a chopstick. After trying it, his expression immediately changed, and his face was full of surprise and surprise.

Wang Zhong then smiled and explained to several people: "This fish head with chopped pepper is a traditional famous dish in Hunan cuisine. It is simple to make, but it extremely tests the skill of the chef. There must be no mistakes in pickling, heating, seasoning, and pouring oil. Sloppy, if there is a slight mistake, the taste will be different."

"The choice of fish is also very important. This one is silver carp, a type of bighead carp, commonly known as fat-headed fish. It is the best choice for making pepper fish heads."

"I asked you why every time you catch silver carp, you only eat the head and not the body!" Qin Huairu said suddenly.

Wang Zhong said: "What's so delicious about that fish body? It has a strong fishy smell and many thorns. I always make it into salted fish and trade it with others for other things."

Qin Huairu joked: "You eat like this, you eat all over the yard, that is, if your family has such conditions, with a salary of more than 80 yuan a month, you can eat as much as you want every day, like the third uncle, okay?" It’s easy to catch some fish but I’m reluctant to eat it myself, and I have to exchange it for food.”

Qin Jingru looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, as well as the soft and sweet white-faced steamed buns, and the hand-rolled noodles that Wang Zhong had just picked out and put into the casserole with chopped pepper fish heads, and her gaze at Wang Zhong became more intense.

These days, let alone big fish and meat, even fine grains are not made like Wang Zhong’s. At noon, what Qin Jingru ate at Jia’s house was steamed buns made of Erhe noodles, and the dishes were even simpler. One shredded potato, one fried cabbage with oil residue, and one stewed radish. For Qin Jingru, this was already a rich enough meal, but compared with the food at Wang Zhong's house, it was not at the same level.

Three kilograms of mutton were eaten clean by six people, three large, three small, and three small. All the edible bits in the fish head with chopped peppers were eaten, except for the peppers.

Wang Zhong picked up the noodles soaked in cold water and put them into the remaining soup of the chopped pepper fish head. When the casserole started to boil, the noodles were filled with the soup of the chopped pepper fish head.

Banggen, Xiaodang, and Xiaohuahua had already eaten so much that their bellies were so round that they couldn't hold any more. Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru also had their bellies puffed up, rubbing their bellies and burping. Of course, Wang Zhong was the only one left with this little noodle. This pot-bellied man eats alone.

After eating a few bites of noodles, a sip of warm wine, and a few vegetables that have been blanched in a copper stove and wrapped in dipping sauce, the taste is amazing.

After a while, the wine bottle was empty and the food was almost finished, but there was still a lot of steamed buns left.

Banggan took his two sisters out to play. Wang Zhong sat leisurely on the recliner and took a nap with his eyes closed. Sisters Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were wearing aprons and helping to clean up the mess.

But Qin Jingru couldn't help but glance at Wang Zhong.
