081 Lao Jin who can't sit still
The bus of Jinlan Flower can be said to be fully loaded, and the old ladies are carrying several bags of red dates in their hands, all of which are brought by the old ladies who are familiar with each other in the community, after all, they can't go back empty-handed when they are so many people.
"Gui Fen, here-come and help me with the handle, your 50 catties of red dates can make me choke enough. ”
As soon as she got out of the car, Zhao Yumei called out to her old sister, after all, the heavy dates in her hand were all brought for her.
"I'm here, I'm really bothering you, if I get the news earlier, I'll go to Xiao Zhou's store with you, so I won't trouble you. ”
"It's okay, there are buses coming and going anyway, but you said what you are doing when you buy so many dates at one time, these dates are no better than fruits, and it is easy to catch fire if you eat more. ”
"I have another use for this jujube, everyone has blown this jujube into the sky in the group, I think it is rare to meet such a good red date, just buy a little more and go back to make jujube paste, whether it is steamed cake or stuffing, it will be delicious. ”
"I really envy you, it's different to have a husband who can cook. ”
Zhao Yumei knows the situation in Shen Guifen's family, her family's old Jin was a chef when she was young, and it is said that she is still a famous chef, so every year during the New Year, Shen Guifen's family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is particularly rich, and a lot of dim sum and meat dishes have to be prepared, and there is no less food among neighbors.
"You say Lao Jin? He has been too lazy to do it for a long time, I have been busy at home for the past two years, what's the use of having a chef at home, and it's not our women cooking?"
"I can't talk to you anymore when it comes to cooking, I still have to rush to the vegetable market to buy groceries, and my granddaughter will be out of school soon. ”
"Okay, let's see you in the square dance in the evening, and I'll transfer the jujube money to you when the time comes." ”
"Okay, that's it. ”
After completing the handover of the jujubes, Shen Guifen carried a small cart to transport the jujubes home.
"Old Kim, help me carry something. As soon as she opened the door, Shen Guifen asked for help from Lao Jin lying on the sofa.
"What are you going to buy again? Don't keep lifting heavy stuff if you don't have good wrists. ”
"You have time to count me, won't you help me with it?"
"It's coming, it's you, it's the most important thing. Lao Jin reluctantly sat up from the sofa and saw two large bags of red dates at the door.
"What are you doing when you buy so many dates?"
"This red jujube is a new product from Xiao Zhou, the quality is very good, I bought it back to make jujube paste. ”
Lao Jin is no stranger to Xiao Zhou in his wife's mouth, recently his wife seems to have added a group buying group, and many people in the community follow this Xiao Zhou to buy fruits.
My wife has been cooking for so many years, and she still can't buy anything. No matter how she was taught before, the quality of the fruits and vegetables she bought back was still so poor.
Since the recent addition of this group buying group, the quality of the fruits bought has skyrocketed, which has made Lao Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
I also doubted that his wife would join the liar group, after all, the fruits in the group are not cheap.
However, after a few group purchases, Lao Jin let it go, and bought this high-quality fruit back, and he also enjoyed it together.
It's just that now looking at so many red dates that his wife has bought, and he has been a husband and wife for so many years, how could Lao Jin not know what the hell she had to do, and this red date paste is afraid that she wants to do it herself in the end.
Since he retired, Lao Jin has rarely cooked, so why not do it? The simple reason is that he has done enough.
He has been cooking for others outside for most of his life, and when he reaches retirement age, he also wants to take a break. Now that they have retirement salaries, and their children's careers are developing very well, Lao Jin wants to enjoy happiness at home.
"You're good at it now, and you've learned how to make jujube paste, okay, then I'll wait to eat it." After moving the dates to the kitchen, Lao Jin returned to the sofa and watched TV with his feet crossed.
Shen Guifen didn't expect that Lao Jin was lazy now, and when he was young, he didn't want to eat anything, so he followed behind his ass to do it.
"Okay, if you don't do it, I'll do it!"
As soon as Lao Jin heard this, he knew that his wife was angry, but Lao Jin was used to it, and he still couldn't get up on the sofa.
Shen Guifen is angry here, and the work in her hands has not stopped, after all, there are so many red dates, if you really don't make jujube paste, you can't finish it.
So she spread out all the 50 catties of red dates in a large round dustpan, ready to pick out the bad red dates.
50 catties of red dates obviously can't fit in a dustpan, Shen Guifen divided it several times, looking at the plump and ruddy jujubes, she couldn't help but sigh: "The quality of this jujube is really good." ”
Lao Jin, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but be happy, just this one in his own house, he could still recognize the quality of the dates, and he was a liar!
"Lao Jin, what should I do with this jujube paste?" In fact, Shen Guifen had only eaten jujube paste made by Lao Jin, and had never made it himself.
"First put the red dates in the pot and steam them. Lao Jin sat on the sofa and played comfortably, without any intention of getting up to help.
Hearing Lao Jin's words from the sofa, Xu Guifen knew that he had made up his mind and refused to do it, forget it, then try his hand with a three-catty jujube first.
Soon Shen Guifen washed the dates and put them in a pot to steam them over high heat, and the ensuing thick fragrance of dates quickly filled the entire room.
Lao Jin on the sofa paid attention to the movement of the kitchen throughout the whole process, and naturally soon smelled the fragrance of dates.
Lao Jin, who has been a chef for so many years, knows that this jujube is good when he smells it, you must know that if the quality of the jujube is good, the taste of the steamed is not the same, the thick jujube fragrance will be sweet, and some inferior jujube will taste more sour.
Soon, the smell of jujube in the kitchen was mixed with a bitter smell of burnt bitterness, and it was bad! My wife's fire was turned on, and the jujube was oversteamed.
"How many times have I told you, the heat of what you eat is the most important, you see that such good dates have been wasted for you. Lao Jin couldn't sit still, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to turn off the fire.
He took out a jujube from the pot and tasted it, the original sweet and mellow jujube flavor actually had a trace of bitterness, this burnt bitterness has obviously been soaked into the jujube, Lao Jin is very strict with the standards of ingredients, in his opinion, this pot of jujube can not be used, otherwise the later jujube paste will be bitter.
"Look at you, you can't just stay by the side honestly, blind to such a pot of good dates. Lao Jin looked at a pot of steamed red dates, and yelled at Shen Guifen angrily.
"I called you before, didn't you just agree to it so much?" After so many years together, Shen Guifen naturally wouldn't eat him.
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll fry this jujube paste, you go and buy a small bottle of corn oil for me, the peanut oil at home tastes too strong and inappropriate." ”
