Chapter 8

The mussel meat has a strong fishy smell, and if you don’t pay attention to the heat, it will easily make the meat tough. The fishy smell and the toughness of the meat are basically no one will eat it.So as long as the fishy smell is removed and the heat is controlled properly, the clam meat will taste very good.

If you want to get rid of the fishy smell of river mussel meat, one is to choose ingredients with strong fragrance to fry together, such as pickled cabbage, leeks, chives, bacon and so on.The second is to add more condiments such as onion, ginger, garlic wine, and the third is to stew the soup. Of course, the most important thing is the heat.

In the previous life, Xu Xiaofu liked to eat these things when he was a child, and Xu's mother often made them for her. Xu Xiaofu learned it, but it took a long time to master the heat.

There is a lot of meat in the mussels, Xu Xiaofu made a mussel with tofu, and a stir-fried mussel. Of course, the most classic way of making a mussel is to cook a mussel with bacon. There is no bacon at home, so I had to give up.

The tofu at home is made by Wang's family. Wang's has a skill in making tofu. However, there are several tofu sellers in Donglai Street, all of which have a century-old name. Even if Wang's goes out to sell tofu, there is no business, so On weekdays, I make some tofu by myself and eat it by myself.

Mrs. Wang helped to light the fire, and seeing Xu Xiaofu stir-fry the mussels and add the wine that Xu Daddy drank into it, she couldn't help being a little curious, "Xiaofu, why do you add wine to this stir-fry, it won't smell of wine what?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Mother, no, you will find out after you taste it. Mother, if the soup sells well tomorrow, we can also buy some clam and tofu soup, this soup is also very fresh. "

Wang Shi didn't believe it, after all, she had made this stuff many times, and every time it smelled strong, no one would eat it.

"Xiaofu, do you want to make fried shredded radish?" Wang was afraid that this dish would not be eaten later, so she didn't even have to eat any of it.

Xu Xiaofu knew what Wang was thinking, so he didn't say anything, went to wash two radishes, shredded them and fried them.

While waiting to eat, Wang tasted a mouthful of mussel meat and was stunned, "Ah, how did Xiaofu make this, it tastes really fresh." He took another mouthful of stir-fried mussel meat, "This is also delicious, the meat is delicious. Not tough at all...”

The lotus beside her puffed her cheeks, eating happily, "Mother's cooking is the best."

Father Xu and Xu Qingshan both nodded and said it was delicious.

Because Xu Qingshan also agreed with Xu Xiaofu's idea of ​​going to the pier to sell soup, so after dinner Xu Xiaofu went to buy a few big pork bones and smashed them with the back of a knife.

Xu Xiaofu was ready to go back when he was done with these things, and when he left, he told Wang, "Mother, when you get up early tomorrow morning, you can wash and cut the radishes into pieces and throw them in. You can take them to the pier by noon." It’s sold.” She thought for a while, and then said: “Mom, this pot of soup can have about forty bowls, and the price of a bowl of soup is one penny. After deducting the cost, it should be worth thirty yuan. income." Dagu only spent five Wen, the radish was grown in his own backyard, and the firewood was picked up by Xu's father on the mountain, so it didn't cost any money.And a penny is still affordable for those helpers. A penny can drink a bowl of fragrant and hot bone soup, and no one should care about that penny.

"Success, I understand, it's getting dark now, let your second brother take you back..."

Xu Xiaofu returned to Zheng's house with the lotus, knocked on the door for a while, but no one opened it, causing Xu Qingshan behind him to turn cold, "Sister, let me knock."

Xu Qingshan was much stronger than Xu Xiaofu, the knock on the door made a loud bang, even if the people inside didn't want to pay attention.

Soon the door opened, and it was Zheng Xiaolian who opened the door. She had a bad expression on her face, ignored Xu Qingshan next to her, and scolded Xu Xiaofu: "Why are you so annoying, you only come back in the middle of the night! Why don't you let people sleep?"

Xu Xiaofu's face was flat, and he said calmly: "Xiao Lian, I'm sorry to bother you, and I will definitely come back earlier next time."

Zheng Xiaolian couldn't say anything more, she rolled her eyes, yawned and went back to her room.

In this way, the next day Xu Xiaofu ignored Mrs. Zheng's darkening complexion, and returned to Xu's house with lotus flowers.

It was just the beginning of Sishi when we returned to Xu's house, Xu Xiaofu tasted the big bone soup that was boiled on the stove yesterday, it was fragrant and strong, and the radish was almost ripe.

"Mother, I'll go with you later." After Xu Xiaofu finished speaking, he added a bowl of bone broth, skimmed off the slick oil and gave it to Xu Qingfei.

Seeing Xu Xiaofu, Xu Qingfei barely propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and said with a smile, "Third Sister, you are here."

Xu Xiaofuen said, and brought the soup bowl in front of Xu Qingfei, "Drink it quickly, you will feel better after drinking it."

"En." Xu Qingfei obediently drank the whole bowl of soup.Xu Xiaofu chatted with Xu Qingfei for a while, saw that he was tired, and then went out with an empty bowl.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Xiaofu and Wang lifted the pottery pot to the stove, cleaned up some dishes, and then pushed the cart and went out.

When they arrived at the pier, the helpers were eating, and they didn't notice Xu Xiaofu and the others.Standing by the cart, Mrs. Wang looked at Xu Xiaofu a little at a loss.Xu Xiaofu was not afraid, he opened his throat and yelled, "The fragrant radish and big bone soup only costs a penny a bowl, if you come late, it will be gone..."

As soon as the words came out, several dirty helpers looked over and sniffed vigorously, "Hey, it smells strange, and I don't know how it tastes."

Xu Xiaofu hurriedly said: "Brother, try it, it's definitely delicious, and it's still warm. Drinking a bowl in this weather will make you feel warm all over."

After hesitating, the man took out a penny from his body, "Come have a bowl and have a taste."

Xu Xiaofu quickly picked up a porcelain bowl, added a bowl with a spoon and handed it to this person, "Brother, drink quickly..."

The man took a sip and sighed, "It's really delicious..." After a few sips, he drank a bowl of hot bone soup, and ate the radish in the bowl, and said humanely, "It's really delicious. Not bad, drinking a bowl will warm you up, and this radish is also delicious." The stew is rotten, and there is a smell of meat, much more delicious than the one made by my mother-in-law.

As soon as the words came out, the people next to him also asked for a bowl. As soon as there were more people here, the people next to them noticed it. In addition to the strong fragrance of the big bone soup, Wang Shi and Xu Xiaofu were surrounded by people soon. It was crowded with people, and everyone asked for a bowl.

This big jar of big bone soup was sold out quickly, and there were still many left undrinked.Someone said: "Ma'am, sister-in-law, you won't be able to make it through tomorrow, so get some more, we haven't even had a drink."

Mrs. Wang was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "Come on, come here again, I'll get some more soup tomorrow."

Then the two returned to Xu's house. Xu Xiaofu told Wang to make three kinds of soup tomorrow, big bone soup, hot and sour soup, and clam meat tofu soup. A bowl of tofu costs two pennies.Wang's can make big bone soup and hot and sour soup, but he can't make clam broth.

"Mom, you go back at night and get some more bone broth to make the base soup. The base soup of hot and sour soup also needs bone broth. Buy some heart and lungs and throw them in. When it's almost ready, add some sauerkraut and chili. This is hot and sour heart and lung soup, and it tastes good, I'll just make clam, meat and tofu soup tomorrow."

"Sure, I've remembered, you and He Hua should go back earlier, lest your mother-in-law won't open the door for you later, don't come after you get familiar with these things, and I'll come here by myself. "Wang is worried that Xiao Fu often goes back to Xu's house, and Mrs. Zheng will make things even harder for Xiao Fu.

"Mother, I know." Xu Xiaofu returned to Zheng's house with the lotus.

Back at Zheng's house, Xu Xiaofu was about to knock on the door, but the courtyard door opened as soon as he pushed it, and then he saw Mrs. Zheng chasing Zheng Xiaolian running around the courtyard with a broom.
