Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Joy of Family (Three Watches, Tickets, Ask for Subscription~.)
"Come, Huahua, try my new cooking. This is my newly researched fish soup rice. Zhang Tong smiled at home and put a big white porcelain bowl in front of Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua sat on the sofa, more than six months pregnant, her belly was already bulging obviously. As a high-level leader, Jiang Hua still has some privileges.
For example, maternity leave is much longer than many people. Maternity leave for ordinary civil service personnel (including teachers) is generally only 100 days at most. The better ones may be 120 days.
In general, female employees in enterprises take maternity leave, which is basically to leave their jobs without pay, or only pay the minimum wage.
However, Jiang Huaxiu's maternity leave can be granted 180 days of maternity leave, and it is also paid leave. So out of the protection of the baby in the womb, Jiang Hua reported the maternity leave a few days ago.
The organizational approval was also very fast, and Jiang Hua was granted maternity leave the next day. Her main work is now handed over to the deputy or handed over to Huang Gang.
Jiang Hua's physical fitness has always been very good, and it can even be said that it is very good. After all, there are few people in China or even the world who can beat her.
Therefore, in the early stages of pregnancy, Jiang Hua almost did not have any physical discomfort. There are no diseases such as calcium deficiency during pregnancy and high blood sugar during pregnancy due to pregnancy.
There were also no problems such as nausea and vomiting that may occur in the first trimester. Originally, Jiang Hua thought that he could easily get to life.
As a result, the more she reached the third trimester, the more reactive she became. From time to time, I feel dizzy and tired, and I will have night sweats when I sleep at night. Even a harche when Zhang Tong slept next to her would wake her up. So Lao Zhang now has to sleep in a separate room with Jiang Hua to improve Jiang Hua's sleep quality.
In addition, Jiang Hua's appetite is also very bad. In the past, Jiang Hua had no taboos, and there was almost nothing she didn't eat, and her appetite was always good. After all, girls with a bad appetite can't grow to more than two hundred pounds in adolescence.
But by the third trimester, she didn't have any appetite at all. I don't want to eat anything, and I don't want to eat any staple food after eating only some fruit in the last two days.
That is, once in a while, I want to eat some bread and snacks or something.
Lao Zhang is anxious in his eyes. Now Jiang Hua has a big belly and doesn't want to eat anything, how can this work? It is not enough to eat the nutrition of fruits, there are only some fiber and vitamins in fruits, and the rest is water and sugar. There is no protein and no fat, which is not conducive to the development of the fetus.
So in order to let Jiang Hua eat something, Zhang Tong took a lot of effort. Now Lao Zhang Ke is learning everything, whether it is Chinese or Western food, as long as Jiang Hua suddenly wants to eat something, Zhang Tong will do it immediately. Even if you don't know how to do it, you will learn it immediately. In order to let Jiang Hua eat two more bites.
No, Jiang Hua suddenly said that he wanted to eat fish soup today, and Zhang Tong immediately started to do it.
Buy two catties of pork ribs stewed soup, and then slaughter and wash the mandarin fish you bought. Then use a sharp kitchen knife to start from the tail of the fish and slice it along the bone in the middle of the mandarin fish.
Mandarin fish is a homonym for expensive fish, and among the common freshwater fish in the market, mandarin fish is indeed expensive. Artificially cultivated is about 35 to 41 catties, and wild mandarin fish is about 781 catties.
There is a reason why it is expensive, because mandarin fish has almost no earthy smell that freshwater fish can have. And the flesh of mandarin fish is more delicate and firm. Even compared to various expensive groupers, it is not inferior. And the mandarin fish only has the main spines all over the body, without those annoying little burrs.
This is simply a blessing for those who like to eat fish, but hate fish bones.
Zhang Tong bought a mandarin fish weighing eight taels, which is the best weight for eating mandarin fish.
For example, herring, grass carp, and carp need to be large and thick, but mandarin fish is the opposite. A suitable mandarin fish should not grow too big, too big and the flesh will be loose. At the same time, it should not be too small, and the mandarin fish that is too small is not fat enough.
It is the most suitable weight for a mandarin fish to eat, within one catty, and eight taels is the best. Nine taels are full, and seven taels are owed.
Zhang Tong used a knife to divide the mandarin fish into two pieces and split two pieces of clean meat. Then slice it with a knife and cut it into thin, light-transmitting butterfly slices.
The fish bones and fish head are not wasted, pour oil after the iron pot is heated, the oil temperature is five layers of hot ginger and garlic, when the ginger and garlic fragrance is diffused, then throw the fish bones and fish head into the pot and fry it slowly over low heat, fry until both sides are slightly browned, add the pork rib soup that has been prepared long ago.
It is the pursuit of most people to boil fish soup to a milky white, but many people boil fish soup but cannot reach that standard milky white. The problem often lies in the addition of water.
When adding water to fry fish, do not add cold water, but add boiling hot water.
When the hot pork rib soup is added to the fish pot and boiled for only a few minutes, the whole pot of fish soup already takes on an attractive milky white color.
Zhang Tong was not idle, and put the dried rice (note) that had been prepared long ago into a large white porcelain bowl. Then lay the sashimi in layers on top of it.
At this point, pour the boiling fish broth directly into a bowl, sprinkle a handful of finely chopped celery foam, close the lid and let it simmer for three minutes.
When Zhang Tong lifted the lid in front of Jiang Hua, there were scattered green celery foam floating on the milky white fish soup. The thin fillet has been thoroughly blanched in the boiling broth and floats in the bowl.
At the bottom of the bowl is rice soaked up in the soup. This kind of cooked rice only makes dried rice, and when it encounters the soup, it will absorb the soup like a sponge, and let itself return to the round white rice state from shrivel.
A bowl of fish soup and rice, easy to use, but extremely delicious. and light and rich, the fish fillet is smooth, the soup and rice are soft and glutinous, and the celery is crispy.
The fragrance that came to the nose finally hooked Jiang Hua's taste buds. Originally lying on the sofa without a trace, she was somewhat refreshed.
"Help me up. ”
Jiang Hua, who was helped up, ate most of the bowl of fish soup and rice, and his spirit was much better. This is the only time Jiang Hua has eaten seriously in the past few days.
"Ah, I'm so tired of being pregnant! I don't want this child anymore, Lao Zhang, you can help me take it away." Jiang Hua, who couldn't eat or sleep well, rolled his eyes and stared at the ceiling and said angry words. Climbing on her back, she now has no image of a gravity queen.
"Oh, Huahua, you're talking angrily again. Zhang Tong naturally couldn't follow Jiang Hua's words, so he changed the topic and said, "Otherwise, let's play games for a while." Doubles a metal slug?"
"I don't want to play, it's boring. ”
"I guess you draw it?"
"It's boring. ”
"Guess one and reward 100 yuan. "For someone with a monthly salary of only 1,002, a hundred at a time is already a huge amount of money.
Jiang Hua became interested: "This is okay." "It's a trivial matter if you don't have money, the main thing is that you draw and I guess it's fun.
Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua chatted while playing with you and drawing and guessing.
"Lao Zhang, how is the company's business now?"
"It's good. Now the sales of the product are extremely high. I didn't expect that after that live broadcast, it helped us open up the global market in an instant. Especially the housework trio is completely sold out in North America. And the medical wand, they're also buying it on a large scale. It is expected that the goods will be distributed all over North America this year. ”
"That's good. Jiang Hua smoothly drew a random question: "No, what am I drawing?" "Jiang Hua showed a pig.
Zhang Tong didn't think about it: "Pig!"
"No, guess again. ”
"Roast suckling pig?"
"No, it's a character. ”
"Zhu Bajie! Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Gangguan!" Zhang Tong felt that this time it must be right.
Jiang Hua shook his head helplessly: "Silly boy, if you don't look in the mirror for a day, why don't you even know yourself." Jiang Hua opened the answer to the question: Zhang Tong.
"No, a hundred dollars. ”
"This doesn't count, you cheat me!"
"What kind of pit are you, haven't you heard that men are all big pigs' trotters?"
"Then I'm so good that I'm a big pig's trotter?"
"Yes, you're better, so you're a whole pig. What Jiang Hua said was reasonable.
Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua were enjoying the joy of husband and wife when an inopportune phone call came.
"Boss, there are two very arrogant Americans and a traitor, do you have time to come over and deal with it?"
PS: Note: If you can't make dry rice yourself, you can buy it on Taobao. Just search for brewed rice and you're good to go. The mandarin fish soup in this chapter is a very simple dish that can be used by all beginners, but it is considered to be a dish that is especially good at cooking when served. I highly recommend everyone to try it, and the most important thing is that it tastes good, and only a spoonful of salt is needed to taste it.
In addition, the third watch, the ticket ~ I'm going to go to dinner.
