"This bacon and tofu was brought by my grandfather in the morning, and I was originally going to fry bacon, make a spicy tofu, and then burn a tomato and egg soup, but now that I have a river mussel, I will adjust it slightly. ”

In the kitchen, Xia Jie pointed to the table and said.

"At noon, let's cook a mussel bacon and tofu soup, which can be used as a dish and as a soup!"

"Anchor, you can burn anything, hurry up and start work!"

"I remember when I was a child, I often saw river mussels sold in the vegetable market, all of them were packed in sacks, and my grandmother bought it back to burn salted broth, which was delicious!"

"If you want me to say that the braised river mussels are delicious, my grandfather can eat a plate of them alone!"

In the live broadcast room, the audience watched it with relish, and they were reminiscing about the bits and pieces of their childhood.

Holding a river mussel in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, Xia Jie easily inserted it along the gap.

With a little force, the originally closed mussel shell was opened, and then a gentle dig along the edge, a piece of trembling, fat and tender river mussel meat came down.

In a few moments, a bucket of mussels was all dug up.

"Look, there are so many, almost two or three pounds. ”

Xia Jie flicked it in the basin with his hand and took a mussel meat.

"Because mussels are cold and they all vomit sediment in streams, we have to clean all the internal organs. ”

"You see, between this skirt and the mussel, these two half-wrapped pieces of mussel flesh, crescent-shaped, soft, and textured in them are gills to be removed. ”

"Next to the cheeks, this tubular thing is the intestines, and there is a bit of mud and sand in it, let's just pinch it open, and then gently squeeze it through this hole, and the remaining mud and sand can be drained away. ”

Xia Jie said as he dealt with it.

"Brother Jie, do you want me to help?"

Song Xiaodong poked his head out of the door and asked.

"You go to the field and pick some onions and garlic for me. ”

Xia Jie replied casually.

"Okay, I'll be there soon!"

After cleaning the peeled mussel meat, Xia Jie scrubbed it with salt again, and then beat them one by one with the back of a knife.

"If you want the mussel meat to be delicious, this step can not be saved, you must knock the hard part of the mussel meat soft, so that the soup will be more flavorful and the taste will be better. ”

Quickly cut the mussel meat into strips for later use, and then Xia Jie cut the old tofu into pieces and soaked the water, and cut the bacon with attractive color into slices.

"This thing smells fishy, so if we remove the fishy ginger, onion and garlic, we can put a little more. ”

Xia Jie stir-fried the clam meat that had just been put in the pan, and poured the chopped ginger, green onions, and garlic into it.

"Pour cooking wine, add a little salt, fry for a while, and you can add water and simmer!"

"Fresh meat should be put until the water boils, and the tofu is finally cooked over low heat, so don't make a mistake about the order!"

"Okay, okay, I understand what you said, the anchor, I'm just short of money to buy river mussels!"

"To tell you the truth, the anchor's cooking level is about the same as mine, if any girl finds me, she will be blessed in the future!"

"I have meat, who has mussels?"

"Come on, come on, make a note of this dish, you must order it when you go to Dalijie's place!"

Half an hour later, when the lid of the pot was opened, a steaming river mussel tofu soup was ready to fly!

"Brother Jie, I'll serve dinner, you rest!"

Song Xiaodong, who was already hungry next to him, couldn't wait to say.

"Is my grandpa back?"

Xia Jie turned his head and asked.

"Uncle Xia has already come back, and he will be sitting in the yard smoking dry tobacco. ”

"Okay, let's go to the yard and eat!"

Xia Jie took out the soup, put some pepper, and sprinkled a handful of verdant coriander segments.

Well, it's really more fragrant!

"Brother Jie, tell me, with your skills, you don't have to do this farmhouse at all, go to the city to open a local restaurant, you will definitely not worry about no business!"

After eating two large bowls of rice, drinking a bowl of soup, and touching a slightly bulging little belly, Song Xiaodong seemed to have the word satisfaction written on his face.

"You kid can't grow meat just by eating, I don't know where it has gone!"

Xia Jie glanced at the skinny little black man and teased with a smile.

"Xiaojie, you can go over and try it later, and see if that wooden bridge is good. ”

Xia Changjiang wiped his mouth, took out a dry tobacco bag from his pocket and said.

"Well, grandpa, you should smoke less of this cigarette, smoking is harmful to health. ”

Xia Jie nodded and said with concern.

"Hey, I just have the leisure to smoke a dry cigarette and drink a little wine, you can't deprive me of it!"

The old man smiled and said disapprerovingly.

Well, old man, if you're happy.

While the three of them were chatting, there was a shouting outside.

"Xiaojie, is Xiaojie at home?"

As he spoke, a man walked to the door, still holding a rope in his hand.

"Here, it's Uncle Xie!"

Seeing the middle-aged man who appeared at the door, with a round head and a round head, slightly bald, and a mustache, Xia Jie stood up and answered.

"Liangkun is here, have you eaten?"

Xia Changjiang also greeted.

"Yo, the old man is also here, I've eaten and eaten. ”

Xie Liangkun smiled and waved his hand.

"What, what's the matter with Xiaojie?"

Xia Changjiang asked.

"Well, Xiaojie, you see if it's convenient in the afternoon, I've already brought the old sow over the family. ”

As he spoke, he put down the basket he was holding and tugged on the rope vigorously, and there was a whirring cry from behind.

An old sow with a white flower and a large black spot on her body walked out shaking her head.

"Uncle Xie, what are you doing here? You came here, and you took the lead as a sow as a gift, it's too polite, did you tell Aunt Li?"

Song Xiaodong blinked and said teasingly.

"Go, go, don't mess around, you kid, I'm looking for Xiaojie for business!"

Xie Liangkun waved his hand angrily and said.

"Xiaojie, what is your Uncle Xie looking for you?"

Seeing that Xie Liangkun was actually holding the old sow, Xia Changjiang was also very surprised.

"Oh, wasn't there a wild boar who came down the mountain to make trouble some time ago, and was subdued by me, and then it was up to me, so Uncle Xie wanted that thing to be mated!"

Xia Jie said succinctly.

"I'll go, it's really fake, Brother Jie, you can still make wild boars breed obediently, so amazing!"

Song Xiaodong shouted in surprise.

"I don't know, try to find out!"

Xia Jie said casually.

As for the old man, he had already seen Xia Jie feeding wild boars last time, so it was not surprising.

"Uncle Xie, you rest for a while, I'll call Dahei, the goods should still be on the back mountain!"

"Okay, no hurry, no hurry!"

Xie Liangkun tied the rope to the door while putting the basket in his hand on the ground.

"Uncle Xie, this sow is not a gift, it should be in the basket!"

Song Xiaodong, who couldn't stop talking, pointed to the basket and said.

"Uh...... This is a raw egg for wild boars!"

Xie Liangkun opened his mouth and said.

"Uncle Xie, you are repaying your grievances with virtue, not only giving it a wife, but also giving it a mending body!"

Song Xiaodong couldn't help laughing.

"What do you know, wait for you to ask for a daughter-in-law, and see if your mother will give you eggs!"

Xie Liangkun rolled his eyes and said.
