Hit by the old lady, Zhang Junping no longer continued to appreciate his masterpiece, washed his hands, prepared to start making lunch, and vowed to regain his self-esteem in cooking.

Braised carp is a traditional famous dish, there are historical records of eating carp in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the son of Confucius is named after carp, the name carp, the word Boyu.

Zhang Junping took the knife and snapped it twice on the fish's head, knocking the carp unconscious.

The action is quite neat, and the carp is directly disemboweled, and then the scales, gills, and internal organs are removed, and the blood foam is washed.

After washing the carp and leaving it free of blood foam, pull five more diagonally on the fish and put it in another small basin for later use.

Then take out the green onions, peel off the old skin on the outside, wash the head, cut the sections first, and then shredd.

Then take out the ginger, wash it, peel it, and cut it into slices.

"Yo, boy, I'm not bragging, just looking at this action, I know that I used to cook at home!" The old lady sat on the free chair and didn't move her nest, watching Zhang Junping's quick movements, and praised with a smile.

"Hey, hey! The poor man's child is in charge early! I'll grill the fish, and I'll show you another day!

In the past, in the village, there was no shortage of grilled fish to eat!

How can there be a lot of people in the family, and there are few people who earn centimeters, and the food distributed every year is not enough to eat, and there is a feeling of hunger all day long!

Whatever you can eat, put it in your mouth!

What rats, snakes, are caught by us to roast and eat, as well as fish, we often secretly go to the river to catch fish, grilled and eat!

I didn't put any salt at all, so I grilled it and ate it!

In the beginning, the baked ones were either undercooked or baked, but slowly, we got better and better·····" While packing up the fish, Zhang Junping recalled his childhood life.

The old lady was a little distressed when she listened to Zhang Junping's babbling words, but she knew that Zhang Junping didn't need her comfort.

Zhang Junping was talking, and the work in his hands did not stop.

Put the oil into the pan, wait for the oil to heat, put the carp that has just been cleaned up into the pan and fry it, wait until the carp is yellow on both sides, then put the fish out and put it on a plate for later use.

After cleaning the pot, Zhang Junping changed the topic again, "Grandma Liu, let me tell you a secret, in fact, I didn't like painting at all before!"

"Since you don't like it, why do you still learn to paint with Lao Yang?" the old lady asked with interest.

"Because I learned to paint with Master Yang, I can eat delicious things!

As long as I draw with my heart, Master Yang will reward me with delicious food!

Sometimes it's sweets, sometimes it's snacks, and eggs and meat!"

"You boy!

Let Master Yang know that you are learning to paint with him, and you are actually greedy for his delicious food, be careful that he expels you from the master!" the old lady laughed.

"Don't be afraid!

I'm such an excellent apprentice, how can he be willing to do it!"

Zhang Junping said narcissistically, while adding oil to the pot again, when the oil is hot, add rice wine and tempeh sauce and stir-fry, wait until the tempeh sauce is fried yellow, then add green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry, wait for the aroma to come out, then add water, and put the carp in.

After doing all this, Zhang Junping put down the shovel and clapped his hands, "Okay! Wait for more than ten minutes, and you can eat!"

There are many ways to make braised carp, and the practices vary from province to province.

Zhang Junping used tempeh sauce to make braised carp to take care of the old lady's taste.

When people get old, their sense of taste deteriorates, and their mouths are generally heavier.

"Okay, that's good!

After taking care of your food for so many days, my old lady will also eat ready-made food today!" said the old lady as she got up, went into the house, and took two food stamps.

"Go, run an errand again, go to the alley to buy a catty and two taels of steamed buns and come back!"

"Okay!" Zhang Junping was not polite, took the food stamps and ran to buy steamed buns.

The steamed buns at the mouth of the alley, one two taels, two catties and two.

You can buy six steamed buns for two catties and two taels, mainly for Zhang Junping.

The old lady has a small amount of rice, and she can't eat a steamed bun at a time.

Zhang Junping is different, one meal can make a pound of steamed buns.

When Zhang Junping came back from buying steamed buns, the fish in the pot was almost ready.

When the braised carp was ready, Zhang Junping fried another vinegared cabbage.

"Okay, boy, you are qualified to be a cook!" After tasting the dishes made by Zhang Junping, the old lady was surprised and full of praise.

I really can't imagine that Zhang Junping, who was reduced to starvation to death on the streets, still has good cooking skills.

The old lady decided very simply: "Boy, the cooking in the future will be yours!"

"Okay! Please, make sure you are raised for nothing!"

"Stinky boy, no big or small!" the old lady scolded with a smile and began to concentrate on eating.

This is a habit that the old lady has developed since childhood, and she does not say anything when she eats or sleeps.

After eating, Zhang Junping rushed to wash the pots and bowls.

The old lady drank a cup of tea, got up and went back to the house for a nap.

Zhang Junping is so energetic that he explodes, so he naturally doesn't need to take a nap.

Because I was worried about making furniture, the old lady took a nap, so I took a brush and practiced calligraphy in the yard.

Practicing calligraphy and painting, in addition to talent, also pay attention to a hand familiarity, one day do not practice hand life, three days do not practice regression.

In my memory, my predecessor had always used a brush to dip in water and practice calligraphy on a bluestone slab.

After Zhang Junping crossed over, he also inherited this method of practicing calligraphy.

No way, who made him as poor as his predecessor, he couldn't afford rice paper, and he couldn't afford ink.

I took a bowl of water from the faucet, and practiced calligraphy on the stone table with a brush dipped in water.

In Zhang Junping's previous life, the level of calligraphy and painting was not bad, and he really worked hard.

Although he is only a junior high school graduate, his level in calligraphy and painting is no worse than that of those college students who came out of art colleges.

A good carpenter is not only a good woodcarver and carpenter, but also a good calligrapher and painting skills.

Carpenter, at a certain stage, if you want to continue to improve your level, you must have painting and calligraphy skills.

It's not just a tactile bypass, it's a skill requirement.

Mortise and tenon structure, carving, inlay, calligraphy and painting are the basic skills of carpenters, and the lack of any one is equivalent to a short one.

Maybe it's not obvious at ordinary times, but when you break through, this short one, like a short board on a bucket, will stuck you and make it impossible for you to break through the current level.

This is not only the case for carpenters, but also for craftsmen from all walks of life.

For example, paper-cutting, you can't draw, you don't have deep painting skills, you will always just compare to the gourd to draw scoops.

Somebody else taught you that the chicken is cut like this, oh! you know, the chicken is cut like this.

Teach you how to cut the phoenix, you know how the phoenix cuts.

Teach you how to cut dragons, you know how dragons cut them.

If you don't teach it, you will never cut the dragon and phoenix.

You can never break through the box drawn by others.

This is also the reason why Yang Mingde said before that what he taught in Jiahe Village was all carpentry, not carpenter.

Zhang Junping's eldest brother-in-law and other people in the village will only compare the gourd to draw a scoop, but will not use it flexibly.

The thirty-two mortise and tenon joints handed down by the ancestor Luban are ever-changing.

You can make all kinds of furniture, or you can build different styles of houses, depending on how you combine them.
