Chapter 247: The taste that can't be replicated (ask for a double monthly pass!)
Just when Li Shixin sprinkled a big net and ignored it, he went to accompany a group of old fans and played the two-cent little mahjong inseparable.
Liu Shumei's old man's home is already a chicken flying and a dog jumping!
"Big brother, Mom, where is Mom! Mom!!"
"Mom, my mom, why did you leave all of a sudden! Big brother, mom, she, how did she not have! Wow......"
After receiving He Guoqiang's call, the second brother Guoming and the third brother Guoxing took their daughter-in-law and howled as soon as they entered the door at lightning speed.
Seeing the two younger brothers, He Guoqiang frowned, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and waved his big hand: "What kind of mourning?! I'm talking about my mother is gone, not my mother is gone!"
"Huh?"
(*191619*||) (*191619*||)
Hearing his brother say this, the two brothers with tears on their faces were stunned.
"Disappear?"
Obviously, the disappearance that He Guoqiang said on the phone just now seems to be a little different from the disappearance imagined by the two of them.
"See for yourself!"
He Guoqiang directly photographed the letter left by the old lady in front of his two younger brothers.
The two brothers who mistakenly thought that the old lady was "disappeared from the world" read the letter, and they were really relieved.
Although I was not happy in my heart, I thought about it all the way just now, and compared to my eldest brother He Guoqiang, I immediately accepted it.
"Hey, big brother, you don't make it clear on the phone, you're scared to death! I thought something was wrong with my mother! I ran several red lights along the way, and it was the New Year. What kind of demon is this old lady!"
"Yes, isn't it because I didn't eat at home at noon! The old lady may have just let go of her anger and went to the old sister's place to play. Maybe I'll be back tomorrow. ”
The two daughters-in-law were relieved to learn that the old lady had not had an accident.
Seeing the task left by the old lady on the letter, they all exclaimed: "This old lady has also left a task." It's like a military exercise, so why are you doing it?"
"Yes, big brother, if you want me to say let's not bother with that. It's easy for the three of us to get together for the New Year, and my second child and I still thought that we would take this opportunity to go out and have a good time. If my mother is not at home, we might as well go out and eat at night! These dishes are eaten every year when I come back for the New Year, and they are all tired of taste. Let's come back and do it yourself. ”
Looking at the two younger siblings with a casual look, He Guoqiang, who had been thinking about it for a long time just now, rushed to his head with a burst of anger!
"Fart!"
With a bang, He Guoqiang stood up from the dining chair, his eyes glared like an old cow, and shouted: "It's the New Year, Mom must be sad to do this." Our dad didn't have it early, the old lady pulled the three of us brothers alone, and now people don't know where to go, do you still have the heart to play?"
was scolded by the eldest son, and the two brothers and daughters-in-law didn't dare to squeak.
Looking at the two younger brothers again, they also put away the hippieness on their faces and realized the seriousness of the problem. He Guoqiang waved his hand again, pointing to the ingredients in the refrigerator and the recipes left by the old lady on the table.
"For so many years, the old lady was afraid of causing trouble to which family, so she has been living alone by herself, and has not made any requests to the three of us. Let's make a meal now, can't we do it?"
"Big brother, don't say it, let's do it!"
Seeing that He Guoqiang was really angry this time, the two younger brothers moved their lips and responded.
It is said that it is easy to eat when there are fewer people, and it is good to work when there are many people.
The three families of six made up their minds and immediately took action.
In the old lady's recipe, there is actually nothing high-end. It's not like the delicacies of a big hotel, which require any high-end technology.
It's a few home-cooked meals for three brothers from snacks to big ones.
Braised carp, boiled liver tip. Sweet and sour pork ribs, fried silkworm pupa. Three shreds of old vinegar and three fresh grounds. Plus a dumpling with sauerkraut oil.
There are meat and vegetarian, six dishes with fish and meat plus dumplings, I don't know what the later period is like this every year.
The three daughters-in-law were in charge, the three gentlemen helped cook, and after more than an hour of work, the dishes and dumplings were ready.
After a busy day, the three families sat down and looked at the dishes on the table, and the daughters-in-law were very proud.
"Look, mom is not at home, isn't our Chinese New Year's Eve meal also very good? Come on, the second and third, try this braised carp made by my sister-in-law." Every year for the New Year, my mother didn't let our daughters-in-law stretch out our hands. Today, you can taste it and see if it is made by your sister-in-law or your mother!"
"Well, this fish is honest, and it smells really fascinating. Seeing his daughter-in-law's high mood, He Guoqiang nodded, praised him, and beckoned the two brothers to move their chopsticks.
The three brothers took the soft meat at the gills with three points of anticipation, and they wanted to praise it, but they chewed and chewed...... His face changed.
"Isn't it delicious?" the eldest daughter-in-law said strangely when she saw the appearance of the three brothers.
Facing the inquiry of the eldest daughter-in-law, the three brothers, you look at me, I look at you, and shook their heads.
"It's delicious. ”
"Then why do you look unhappy?"
The eldest daughter-in-law's second inquiry was met with a long silence.
After a long while, the boss forced a smile.
"Mom's braised fish, the meat under the gills has never been ...... Not fishy. ”
"Ah, what, my sister-in-law may not usually cook much. I cook for our family every day at home, eldest brother and third brother, you can taste the sweet and sour pork ribs I made. ”
The second daughter-in-law saw that the eldest daughter-in-law was embarrassed, and she was busy with the atmosphere.
The eldest and the third strong laughed, each took the ribs, and put them in their mouths.
"How is it?" Seeing the two uncles eating the dishes they cooked, the second daughter-in-law hurriedly asked.
The eldest and third silently put down their chopsticks.
"It's delicious, but the sweet and sour pork ribs made by my mother ...... It's not so greasy, it's not so sweet. ”
"I didn't put polysaccharides?" The second daughter-in-law didn't get a good review, so she took a piece and tasted it, wondering: "Isn't this very good!
The two sisters-in-law lost one after another, and the third daughter-in-law didn't dare to squeak anymore.
Seeing the silent brother, he smiled dryly and proposed: "Let's eat dumplings, dumplings are made by everyone, we make them together every year, we can't go wrong." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, every year to make dumplings, Mom let us get started. From mixing the stuffing to wrapping, I know everything about it! ”
"My sister-in-law is right, in the first year I passed the door, making dumplings is the skin I chased, and my mother said that the dumplings are delicious or not, and the skin accounts for half of the credit!
"Good. Eat dumplings!"
Only then did the three brothers pick up their chopsticks again and each took the dumplings into their mouths.
The dumpling skin is very thin, and the filling is not small. Sandwiched on the head of the chopsticks, accompanied by the slightest heat bubbling from the belly of the dumpling, it looks full and lovely.
But after entering, the three brothers were stunned.
Under the attention of the three daughters-in-law who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, they slowly chewed and swallowed one bite at a time.
"Dick. ”
"Huh?"
"Tell me, what's wrong with this dumpling. ”
"The oil is too big and not brittle. ”
"The third?"
"The sauerkraut is too dry, and there is no juice in the dumplings. ”
Listening to what the two younger brothers said was exactly what he felt, the boss silently put down the chopsticks. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly thought of a question.
"When did Mom start to wrap dumplings with sauerkraut stuffing for the New Year?"
Facing the eldest brother's inquiry, the second child scratched his head, "I remember, it's your first year of college, eldest brother, right?"
"Yes. ”
The third child on the side recalled the past when he was a child and was happy;
"That year, I had a severe cold and pneumonia, and I was hospitalized for a month. The eldest brother went to college in his first year, and the second brother took the college entrance examination immediately, and bought a lot of materials, which was very difficult for the family.
I remember that it was also a small year, and my mother said that I eat minced meat every year, and this year I will change my tricks. I wrapped a dumpling with pickled sauerkraut at home and the oil residue left over from fried meat oil.
I didn't expect it to be delicious, the crispy and crispy oil nourishment! The sauerkraut is juicy when you bite into it, and it is fresh!
A hundred dumplings, our brothers don't have enough to eat. Mom was very happy at the time, saying that she was happy to eat, and she will be so ...... next year."
Thinking of the Spring Festival that year, the third child who was originally smiling on his face fell into tears as he spoke.
He wiped his tears fiercely, and his voice couldn't help choking, "Mom said at the time that this piece of meat can make a meal of braised pork and a meal of dumplings with meat...... Two meat ......"
"Okay, third child, don't talk about it. ”
On the side, the eldest and second were already covering their faces and crying.
Ignoring the tears dripping down the corners of his mouth, the boss said in a deep voice, "I know what the taste is wrong." ”
"What's the difference?" the three daughters-in-law looked at their fathers crying like children, and asked cautiously.
"The difference is that it's not a dumpling. No matter what time my mother is, she wants to give our brother the best......"
Wiping away the tears that couldn't be wiped at all, He Guoqiang waved his hand to the three women with ashamed faces: "I don't blame you." Alright, that's all for this meal. Second, third?"
"Hmm. Eldest brother. ”
"This year, the eldest brother said something, when my mother comes back, we won't go anywhere this year. At home, by my mother's side. ”
"Hmm!"
Seeing the two younger brothers nodding heavily, He Guoqiang got up and picked up his car keys and waved his hand.
"Let's go, this year. Nothing can be said to let mom spend the night outside. We...... Go get Mom back!"
