Chapter 108: Chinese New Year (1)
Faced with Cheng's father's question, He Xin was also very confused.
There are four main characters in the script, and three threads are intertwined. The line of RB agent Itami, who the female spy had fallen in love with her and was going to assassinate later, did not take up a lot of space, and her relationship with the leader of the resistance group, although there was a certain amount of ink, was only to the point.
And the character of Situ, from an innocent passer-by, was forced to get involved in this incident, because he also had a branch line of his girlfriend, which was relatively three-dimensional, but later with his rebellion, it seemed to be a bit broken.
He Xin even felt that if these three lines were taken out alone, they could be adapted into three good scripts.
For example, the line of female spy and RB spy Itami, if you focus on it, it is another story of Mr. Yi and Wang Jiazhi. If such a film is made, there may be nothing to do with Uncle Eucalyptus in a few years.
Then the line of female spies and leaders of resistance organizations can also be adapted into an anti-Japanese drama that depicts a pair of revolutionary couples singing and crying.
As for Situ's line, it can depict the fate of a small person in that historical background. It doesn't have to be a traitor, it can allow him to grow up slowly and eventually become an anti-log fighter.
Because he remembers that there was a TV series called "Red", which seemed to be such a plot.
He Xin didn't know what Lou Huohua's intention was in writing this script? whether he wanted to truly show the history of that era, or just use spy warfare as a shell, the core is still the eternal topic of love!
"Bang!boom!"
Just as He Xin and Cheng's father were complaining, guessing and expanding on the script of "Purple Butterfly", which they couldn't understand, there was a sound of kicking the door from the security door outside.
"It's coming! It's coming!"
He Xin hurriedly ran over to open the door, and was startled when he saw Cheng's mother outside the door, and saw the old lady, uh, the aunt was panting, her face was flushed, her forehead was still sweating, and almost every finger had a plastic bag on it, and she had to turn sideways when she entered the door.
"Auntie, I'll come. ”
He wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Cheng's mother shook her head, she couldn't even change her shoes, and went straight to the kitchen. He Xin hurriedly ran forward to help open the door and clean the table. A long bench was so long that even the sink was full.
Cheng's mother was so tired that she couldn't speak, so she raised her arm with difficulty and pointed to the things she bought, and gestured to He Xin.
The goods nodded hurriedly and said, "Auntie, I'll clean it up." ”
Cheng's mother shook her arms and moved to the living room, sat on the chair and gasped.
"You said that you have to buy so many things at once, just have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, and if you don't have enough tomorrow, you won't be able to go out and buy it again." ”
Cheng's father also ran out at this time, he felt sorry for his wife, and while taking the slippers to help change his shoes, he couldn't help complaining.
Cheng's mother finally relieved her breath and hummed: "What you said is light, the vegetable market will close in the afternoon, so you have to buy more while it's fresh." During the Spring Festival, many of them don't go out of the stall, and they can't buy them if they want to. Hey, you help me pinch my arm, I carried so many things all the way back by myself, and I had to climb five floors, and my arm was about to break. ”
Dad Cheng helped her pinch her arm and said, "Then you go downstairs and shout, let Xiaohe go down to pick you up, look at you...... Is it sour?"
"Oh, you light! Isn't it troublesome for me, so I just picked it up in one go, sizzling...... Yes, right here, it's very sore, don't be so heavy on your hands and feet, light ......"
The old couple showed their affection in the living room, and He Xin was already busy in the kitchen.
Crabs, shrimp and fish are put aside in pots, shellfish such as clams and razor clams are raised in brackish water, and vegetables are gathered in a large bag. Finally, there was a pile of big bones, a big elbow, a fan of ribs, two chickens, and a duck.
Rinse the bones and elbows and put them in a pot to remove the water. Considering that the three members of the Cheng family don't like sweetness, they cut the pork ribs into five or six centimeter-long pieces, soak them in blood and drain them, marinate them evenly with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, pepper, a small amount of sugar and a large amount of minced garlic, and then seal the plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, and take it out at night and wrap it in a thin layer of egg wash and flour, and fry it in the oil pan, which is a delicious garlic bone.
The bones and elbows have been drained, rinsed again, put into a large pot, filled with water and put on the stove to boil the soup.
Because Cheng Hao especially likes to eat chicken and duck offal, chickens and ducks only have to remove the hair, but also have to disembowel, the heart and liver as long as they are rinsed, the trouble is the intestines and gizzards, you have to cut them with scissors, remove the undigested feed and chicken feces and duck feces, the gizzard liver also has to peel off the yellow, commonly known as "inner gold" a layer of film, wash it, pinch it with salt a few times, and completely remove the odor.
Then everything is out of the water, cut into small pieces, and when it is time to eat at noon, put some chili peppers and green garlic and stir-fry them together to make the toppings of the hand-rolled noodles, which tastes great. Guarantee that when the time comes, my girlfriend would rather be slapped than put down her chopsticks.
The duck is marinated with cooking wine, ginger, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and the whole duck is made into sauce in the afternoon; two chickens, one is washed and put in the refrigerator for later use, and the other is almost cooked in the soup pot, and the chicken is chopped for white in the broth with low heat for 20 minutes.
It had been said long ago that today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was handled by him alone, so when Cheng's mother slowed down and wanted to come in to help, he refused again and again. Of course, the hand-rolled noodles at noon still needed Cheng's mother to do it, but he didn't know anything about this kind of white case work, and he didn't even know how to make dumplings.
Waiting for the process of eating his mother's hand-rolled noodles, He Xin went into the kitchen again and began to work, the elbows were almost cooked, and after they were dried and cooled, they should be put into the oil pan to fry and make a dish of oily hooves.
The duck is almost marinated, and you can make the sauce duck in the pot. In addition, there is seafood, fresh prawns are slightly marinated after the shrimp line is removed to make tomato sauce prawns, fresh fish has to be steamed, crabs are disassembled and cut into sections, and each section is covered with slices of ham and steamed...... These preparations must be done in advance.
"Squeak!"
Just as He Xin was concentrating on collecting the juice for the sauce duck that was about to be ready, the kitchen door was opened a crack, and someone poked his head in, and he could hear the sound of "Boom" twitching his nose and smelling the smell.
"Stop playing cards?" he asked with a smile as he knew who it was without looking back.
"Don't play, it's boring for three people to play poker, and besides, my mother is old Laipi, it's boring at all!"
Cheng Hao stuck to the door, sniffed again, and said, "It's so fragrant! What are you doing?"
"Sauce duck! ”
He Xin said and looked out of the door, there was no one in the living room, the sound of the TV came from the room, and the old couple would go back to the room to watch TV.
He fished the duck out of the pot and poured a little sauce left over from the pot.
Cheng Haokan salivated, and hurriedly said: "You help me get a piece of duck wings for me to gnaw." ”
"Don't worry!"
While washing the pot, He Xin said with a smile: "It's hot, wait for it to cool down, and then it tastes good." I'm going to fry the ribs in a moment, and make your favorite garlic bones. ”
As he spoke, he wiped the cleaned pot, put it on the stove, heated it over a high fire, and then poured a small half pot of oil "tons and tons".
"Do you want to put so much oil?" Cheng Haokan said dumbfounded.
"Otherwise, it won't blow up. Besides, there are more things to fry during the New Year, and the rest can be stir-fried, so it's not wasted at all. ”
The oil temperature begins to rise slowly, almost over, turn to medium heat, soak the marinated pork ribs in the egg mixture, then wrap them in a mixture of flour and cornstarch in a ratio of 1:1, and carefully put them in the oil pan.
The ribs squeak as they tumble in the pan, turning golden brown and giving off an enticing aroma.
Cheng Hao couldn't help but take a closer look.
"Be careful, don't let the hot oil splash on your face!"
Girls, especially those who eat the bowl of rice performing, the most precious thing is this face, which frightened Cheng Hao and hurriedly retreated, far away from the oil pot.
