Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 46 Uncle Grandpa

Kong Yun took two spoonfuls of the fish soup and put it into the rice.

After soaking the rice, she took two bites and nodded repeatedly.

"Hmm...this fish soup with rice is also delicious!"

"Xiaowei, you can try."

“It tastes so fresh!”

After hearing Kong Yun's opinion, Cao Wei nodded and poured the fish soup into the rice in the same way as before.

Then he mixed it up with chopsticks and took a bite.

The carefully cooked fish soup is full of flavor. Mixed into the rice, it not only has the aroma of rice, but also the flavor of fish.

One bite of rice with clear grains wrapped in delicious fish soup, tastes fresh and sweet like never before.

With just the right amount of spiciness, the two of them couldn't stop eating.

Kong Yun even said to Song Chaoyang:
"I have eaten a lot of fish since I was a child, and I am most satisfied with this pot of fish today."

"I give you full marks for today's meal."

Cao Wei also said at this time:
"Honestly, since I came out of home, I never thought I would be able to eat such good food."

"Song Chaoyang, your cooking skills are not inferior to those of famous chefs."

"I even feel that what you make is even more delicious."

Listening to the two people praising him endlessly, Song Chaoyang responded with a smile:
"Then only if you have all the seasonings here can I cook a dish of this level."

"Other families in the countryside would not be willing to use seasonings like this."

Nowadays, everyone is not very demanding about what they eat, and there are even fewer seasonings available.

According to ordinary family cooking standards, a little salt is considered a successful dish.

If you could add some oil, it would be great.

If there was still some meat, the dish would be absolutely delicious.

The pot of fish cooked today was completely made according to the high standards of Song Chaoyang's later generations.

Regardless of the color, smell, or taste, it’s all full of ingredients.

The seasonings used in this meal were enough to feed Song Chaoyang and his family for a week or two.

If you want it to taste good, seasoning is essential.

Song Chaoyang didn't lie. Indeed, only they had the conditions to do it.

Cao Wei said to Song Chaoyang:
"By the way, I'm going to the town to buy pork bones in a few days."

"When the time comes, help get Xiaoyun some bone soup vegetables to replenish her body."

"I asked him to heal his leg injury as soon as possible."

"Okay, no problem." Song Chaoyang nodded and agreed.

Kong Yun was extremely happy to see Song Chaoyang agreeing so happily.

While Cao Wei was pulling rice, she thought for a while and said:

"Also, take a look at what seasonings we are missing here. I will buy them all when the time comes."

Song Chaoyang glanced at the place where they placed the condiments, and then said:
"Well, you have quite a complete range of seasonings here."

"Then get some kidney beans, some cumin, star anise, kaempferia, cinnamon, grass fruit..."

"There are wild peppercorns on the mountain. I can pick them when the time comes. Well...that's pretty much it."

Song Chaoyang thought for a while, and then added:
"Oh, by the way, bring back some strong liquor."

After hearing his words, Cao Wei was startled and asked:
"Do you want a drink?"

Song Chaoyang shook his head and said:

"No, some dishes require the addition of high-quality liquor when flavoring and cooking."

"It will be more delicious that way."

"If you have it here, it will taste really good."

Without waiting for Cao Wei to answer, Kong Yun waved her hand:
"Okay, buy it!"

"I have the tickets in my hand."

Kong Yun performed very grandly.

He even bought a new pair of kitchen knives, spatulas, and woks for Song Chaoyang, saying it was to make it easier for Song Chaoyang to use.

Cao Wei rolled her eyes, those things were so heavy.

This lady doesn’t think about herself at all?
Then Kong Yun smiled and asked Song Chaoyang to take away the remaining half of the pot of fish.

He also asked Song Chaoyang to take away half of the seasonings he had here.

She heard just now that Song Chaoyang said that they have all the seasonings here.

This means that the Yang family in the Song Dynasty would definitely not have these condiments.

She immediately decided to give half of it to Song Chaoyang.

Let Song Chaoyang also use his cooking skills when cooking.

Song Chaoyang was a little surprised by Kong Yun's generosity.

These seasonings don't look like much, but in this day and age, bills are all used, which is not easy to use.

She gave it away as soon as she said it would be given away, without any hesitation.

It seems that the delicious food she made really conquered her.

Next, Song Chaoyang filled the lunch box that had been cleaned by them yesterday and filled it with seasonings.

One of the lunch boxes was filled with a whole lunch box of dried chili noodles.

This stuff is cheap, but it’s really good for seasoning.

Use hot oil to make spicy red oil, and it is quite enjoyable to cook and eat some noodles.

This thing can even be used for fighting.

Whether it's sprinkled with chili powder or poured with chili pepper water, it's quite lethal.

Then Song Chaoyang took the lunch box and returned with the half pot of fish.

There was a lot of fish left, and Kong Yun and Cao Wei looked like they had eaten three kilograms.

There are four or five kilograms of fish left in the pot.

Taking these fish home, everyone in their family can eat nearly a pound.

By the time she got home, the little girl had already prepared the meal. The leftovers were also reheated.

Now I just need to wait for my family to come back from work at noon for dinner.

The little girl was a little confused when she saw Song Chaoyang coming back with more than half a pot of fish.

Only when I asked did I find out what was going on.

Thinking of having fish and meat at noon today, the little girl almost jumped up with joy.

Soon it was time for the production team to finish work.

People in the fields began to go home.

Then everyone went home and started preparing lunch.

If there is someone at home, lunch has already been prepared, but if there is no one at home, you have to do it yourself when you get home.

Song Shouyi had a straight face when he came back today.

It wasn't until he saw the sumptuous lunch on the dining table that his expression softened slightly.

However, I was still curious and pointed at the fish on the table and asked what was going on?

Hearing that Song Chaoyang got it after helping out at the Educated Youth Point, he didn't say much.

I went to the kitchen to scoop water from the water tank and wash my hands.

At this time, the second brother and my mother had washed their hands and came to the dining table.

When he saw that the two of them were not in high spirits, Song Chaoyang asked:
"Why, everyone seems unhappy today?"

My wife, Xu Cuiping, was the first to speak:
"Forget it, your uncle brought several people over today to scold your father in front of so many people in the production team."

"The scolding can be as unpleasant as it sounds."

The second brother took over the conversation at this time:
"No matter how harsh they scold us, they just want us to go back to working as cows and horses for our grandparents."

"Even if they come to scold me every day, this matter will never go as they wish."

Go ahead, he pointed to the dishes on the table and said:
"Look at this table of food. Have we eaten it before when we were with them?"

When my wife Xu Cuiping saw the dishes on the table, she nodded and said:

"Indeed, if the food on this table had been served before, we would have only had a little soup and water in our stomachs."

"If there's a piece of meat left, it's just because they didn't pick it carefully enough."

Second brother Song Chaodong said again:

"Then what kind of uncle and grandpa come here to pretend to be an elder when I haven't seen him ten times in more than 20 years?"

"In the past, when our family was having a hard time, he wouldn't say anything."

"Now that our life is getting better, he comes. What is he!?"

"If my mother hadn't stopped me today, I would have really wanted to slap him."

After hearing this, the little girl asked angrily:

"Then let my dad just let him scold me?"

My wife, Xu Cuiping, took over the conversation and said:
"At first I tried to reason with him, but later I realized that reasoning didn't make sense, so I had no choice but to let him scold me."

"After all, he is a relative after all, and since he is older, it is difficult to talk back."

"But fortunately, your dad knew it well and didn't agree to it even though he was jumping up and down."

After listening to the three people's words, Song Chaoyang remembered the precognitive dream he had last night.

The result was exactly the same as in the dream, Dad did not agree to them.

If your guess is correct, Mrs. Jia will appear next.

She should be pretending to be sick.

I want to force my father to submit.

But in the end, the old Chinese doctor Murakami revealed the truth.

She even scratched her paw.

But in general, no matter what they do today, Dad will not allow them to go back and be their slaves.

This matter is outrageous, but that's all.

It doesn't matter whether it's a moral kidnapping or an angry curse.

In short, they just want to achieve their goals.

The more this happens, the less likely you are to be fooled by them.

After a while, Dad washed his hands and came to serve the food.

The Song family began to have lunch.

Originally, the whole family was in a bad mood when that uncle and grandpa were disturbed.

But after eating the fish that Song Chaoyang cooked today, I immediately felt different.

I immediately forgot about those troublesome things, and my mood suddenly felt better.

Song Chaoyang raised his eyebrows as he watched the family eating and no longer cared about talking.

This scene reminded him of the saying... Food is the medicine that heals.

Sure enough, having delicious food in front of you will make you feel good.

So Song Chaoyang joined them and started feasting.

Just as the family was about to finish their meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Song Shou replied.

"Your uncle!" A very rude voice came from outside the door.

Now the whole family knew that Mrs. Jia's brother was here.

"What are you doing?" Song Shou replied.

Their family is having a meal now, and they don't want anyone to see what they are eating.

Especially this damn old man.

As soon as he said these words, Mrs. Jia's brother outside the door started banging on the door and said:

"What are you doing at home with the door closed in broad daylight?"

"Come out quickly!"

"You unfilial thing, your mother is so angry with you!"
