Chapter 11 A Good Meal

Xu Dawei, the father, was also worried, so he sent Xu Zhiqiang in: "Go and see your sister."

Xu Zhiqiang was kicked out just now.

Yang Cuihua also said: "Yes, yes, Zhiqiang, go in and help, don't let your sister get burned, this is the first time for your sister to cook."

Xu Zhiqiang had no choice but to go into the kitchen again.

Xu Niannian is cooking fish. There is no vegetable oil at home, only lard, which is the oil made by frying pig fat.

All the pigs raised in this era grew up without eating pig feed, and the fried oil is much more delicious than that of later generations.

My family is poor, and I usually don’t want to use oil, so I put it in a big-headed earthen casserole. I usually don’t want to put oil in cooking. Even if I do, I just dip a little chopsticks in water and cook.

It's already halfway there.

Xu Niannian originally planned to use steamed soup, but thinking that her family was really poor and did not have the conditions to enjoy it, she simply boiled it, so that the leftover soup could be used for rice.

As soon as Xu Zhiqiang entered, he saw Xu Niannian scooping up half a spoonful of oil with an iron spoon. Xu Zhiqiang usually cooks, so he only dared to put a little each time.

Seeing that Xu Niannian put in so much at one time, she was so distressed that she hurriedly said, "You put in less oil."

She thought to herself, as expected, the eldest lady is used to living a life, and she doesn't know what's going on at home, does she really think her family is rich?
If the family is really rich, they will not even be able to afford coarse grains such as corn, and can only eat rice bran.

Xu Niannian was busy cooking and didn't know that Xu Zhiqiang had come in. She was startled when she heard his voice suddenly.

The oil had already been put in the pan, she replied, "It's all right."

She knew that Xu Zhiqiang wanted to save money, but she couldn't live a daily life of pickles, and she didn't intend to let her family live a hard life.

In such a highly competitive market in later generations, Xu Niannian can become a millionaire by virtue of her own abilities.

Not to mention the 80s, when people could make money just by doing business.

In this era of business, there are very few people who do not make money.

The main reason is that the market demand is too large, but the supply is insufficient.

Xu Niannian had her own plans in mind, and she didn't see Xu Zhiqiang's face turned black because of her saying "it's okay".

If this made her go to the kitchen a few more times, she would not even be able to afford oil.

Xu Niannian doesn't care so much. In the view of businessmen, it is better to earn more than to save money.

Putting the lard in the hot iron pan, it quickly sizzled and melted in a short while, giving off an attractive oily aroma.

Xu Zhiqiang seldom puts so much oil in his cooking, and basically just dips it in a little, so naturally it is impossible to have this fragrance.

Suddenly smelling it, he couldn't help swallowing, it wasn't because he was greedy, it was purely a natural reaction.

Xu Niannian didn't notice it.

After the oil was heated, Xu Niannian put a few slices of ginger in it, and the scent of ginger burst out, and then added a whole bowl of water.

She had already sliced ​​the fish into a thin bowl, and she didn't throw away the fish bones and bones in the middle. After the water in the pot boiled, she put it in the pot to cook.

The only seasoning for cooking at home is salt, and Xu Niannian found ginger after searching in the kitchen for a long time. The main function of ginger is to remove fishy smell.

Because the fish fillet was thin enough, it was cooked within a short while, so Xu Niannian hurriedly grabbed the chopped green onion off the cutting board and sprinkled it on the bottom of the porcelain basin.

But the iron pot was too big, Xu Niannian couldn't lift it at all, so Xu Zhiqiang came to help pour it into the porcelain pot.

This is the only porcelain basin in the family. It is said that it was a dowry given by Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei when they got married.

The smell of lard, together with the deliciousness of the fish meat, the hot soup is poured into the porcelain pot, flushing out the scallions in the porcelain pot at once, just the smell makes people drool.

After pouring, Xu Niannian grabbed some chopped green onion and sprinkled it on top, it was beautiful and delicious.

Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei could smell the fragrance outside.

"Father, what do Niannian cook, why is it so delicious?" Yang Cuihua stretched her neck towards the kitchen while swallowing.

"I'll find out soon."

Xu Dawei was also greedy by the scent, smashing the cigarette stick, the thing that usually attracted him the most, suddenly became dull.

Not to mention Xu Zhiqiang in it, since he was born until now, he has never smelled such a fragrant thing.

Especially since he was inside, the smell was even more impactful, making him swallow several times in a row.

"Is this going to be served?" he asked.

Xu Niannian shook her head: "No, I'll take it out together after I'm done. Find a lid to cover it first, so that it doesn't get cold. It won't taste so good when it's cold."

Xu Zhiqiang quickly put the lid on the pot.

After the fish was ready, Xu Niannian planned to make fried eggs with leeks.

It wasn't until Xu Zhiqiang put the lid on that he realized that Xu Niannian still had to cook.

He hurriedly said, "Sister, that's enough."

Usually there is one dish at home, pickled vegetable clapper.

This pot of fish soup is already extravagant enough, but if you want to make it again, it will be even more extravagant.

Xu Niannian shook his head while cracking eggs: "There are still two dishes, what's the hurry?"

"There are two more!" Xu Zhiqiang said in shock, because he was so shocked that his voice changed.

It was rare to see other expressions other than indifference on this big brother's face, Xu Niannian was amused: "Yes, there are two more."

Xu Zhiqiang had already seen her cracking eggs, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The eggs at home basically belong to her. Not only does my mother not let them eat them, she never eats them herself.

In their family's situation, this egg is no different from Xu Niannian's own personal property.

Xu Niannian took another half spoonful of oil into the pan, chopped the leeks into fine pieces, and beat four eggs in one go, but there was nothing she could do about it, there were too many people in the family.

This made Xu Zhiqiang feel bad.

Although the eggs never came into their mouths, he also knew how rare the eggs were.

Their place is backward and poor. Every family in the village only dares to raise one or two chickens, and the eggs are kept for money when they go to the city.

That is to say, his family will keep the eggs at home to eat.

As a result, Xu Niannian's prodigal status in Xu Zhiqiang's heart has risen to a higher level.

How did Xu Niannian know that Xu Zhiqiang would feel so much emotion just by cooking a meal.

She was still busy with cooking. She broke the eggs into the chopped leeks, beat them, mixed them thoroughly, and put some salt in them, and poured them in after the oil was heated.

The eggs quickly made a "poof" sound in the pot, forming golden egg cubes with a shiny color and an attractive aroma.

The omelette was successfully prepared, Xu Niannian quickly fished it out and put it on a plate.

Afterwards, Xu Zhiqiang saw Xu Niannian carrying the wooden basin onto the stove. The wooden basin was filled with water, which was what she called water fungus.

In order to taste better, the fungus was torn into pieces the size of a thumb by Xu Niannian. There was still some ginger left just now, so Xu Niannian chopped it up and put it in.

Then put the chopped green onion and coriander on the cutting board into it, sprinkle the chili powder, and put salt. If there is no soy sauce, you can only use salt.

After scooping up half a spoonful of oil and heating it up, scoop it up with an iron spoon, and pour it directly on the onion, ginger, coriander, chili noodles and other seasonings, and immediately make a sizzling sound.

The scent burst out immediately, Xu Niannian hurriedly stirred it evenly.

The water fungus was made into a big pot, and it was used as a vegetable when Yang Cuihua and Xu Zhiqiang rushed to work in the morning. The water fungus can be kept for a little longer.
