Chapter 152: Foodie
Zhong Yuemin followed behind Luo Jinlan with a cloth bag, "Aren't you going to pick a restaurant, why did you take me to the vegetable market to buy such a bunch of vegetables?"
"But I can pick what you said, I decided to buy vegetables and go back and let you cook for me!" Luo Jinlan said with a smile. โข With * dream * small โข.1a
"I said it, I admit it!" Zhong Yuemin said dogleggedly: "Doesn't this seem too insincere?"
Luo Jinlan said arrogantly: "It's not sincere to go to the restaurant! As long as I have money, I can go to the restaurant at any time." I'm just going to ask you to make me chili scrambled eggs, and I've bought all the ingredients. โ
Zhong Yuemin didn't expect Luo Jinlan to take a good bite, "That time you went back to the village to help us build a silt dam, in order to thank you, I searched the whole village to find three eggs and a few chili peppers, and the soybean oil was still asked by Changgui's mother-in-law and aunt." โ
"Haha, I still remember, after it was fried, the whole village could smell the fragrance. How many of you are drooling when you watch me eat!" Luo Jinlan thought of the events of that day and felt funny.
Zhong Yuemin said: "We have been cutting off meat for a few days at that time, not to mention this oily egg, if it weren't for the fact that you were a guest, they could turn into hungry wolves." โ
"They weren't called hungry wolves like that. Luo Jinlan said in disgust, "At that time, I didn't dare to eat more because of them, and there was a lot left, and Zhao Dayong and they almost didn't fight." The last enamel basin came back like new. โ
Zhong Yuemin explained: "They wiped it with corn tortillas, and there was a real lack of oil and water in the stomach. โ
"Strange to say, I went down to the restaurant and ate scrambled eggs with chili several times, and I made them myself, but I just didn't have the same flavor as you made. Luo Jinlan looked at Zhong Yuemin and said.
Zhong Yuemin was proud: "Haha, that's not easy, I'll make it for you today, so that you can eat enough." โ

After Luo Jinlan became the director, she was assigned a dormitory in the unit, a very small room in the tube building, and the toilet was shared.
At this time, most of the people living in the building are young people, and everyone usually eats in the canteen of the unit, not like more than ten years later, when there are stoves everywhere in the corridors.
Because Luo Jinlan often works overtime, it is easy to miss meals, so she simply prepared a coal stove in the house, and also prepared a full set of pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
At this time, the coal stove mainly burned coal, and the raw stove was a particularly headache.
However, Director Luo is a cadre and a young girl, so she naturally has some small privileges.
When she passed the gate, she asked the porter for some burning coals, and the porter was very happy, and asked if it was enough.
It was the uncle who looked at it from time to time, which made Zhong Yuemin feel that this uncle was not as kind as he appeared on the surface, and it was probably specifically aimed at himself.
Luo Jinlan's room is very warmly furnished, with a table next to the window and a wooden bed next to it, and a colored cloth nailed to the wall next to the wooden bed.
Opposite the bed is the wardrobe, which is placed against the wall. In the middle of the room is a round table, which is considered a living room and dining room.
The pots and pans are placed on a wooden shelf in the corner, and the stove is usually placed outside the door.
Zhong Yuemin cut vegetables on the round table, shredded peppers, sliced carrots, cut green garlic, patted ginger and garlic, sliced black fish, added starch, pepper, salt and white wine, and took a little sauerkraut to change the knife.
That's right, they bought black fish, because this is the only one that can be bought in the evening market, and everything else that can be considered meat is sold out.
Zhong Yuemin decided to make sauerkraut fish on the spot, which was simple and easy to make, did not require too much oil, and did not require much firepower.
Shaanxi people don't eat much fish themselves, let alone sauerkraut fish.
Luo Jinlan watched Zhong Yuemin raise and fall with a magical face, turning the scary-looking black fish into a fish fillet.
At this time, the coal stove fire is also up, and the pot is hot, put ginger and garlic chili, stir-fry until fragrant, then add chopped tempeh, and then add sauerkraut.
The fragrance of sauerkraut overflowed the corridor, and Luo Jinlan couldn't help but sniffle.
Add water and close the lid.
Taking advantage of this effort, Zhong Yuemin cut the shallots, knocked the eggs, and stirred the pair of chopsticks quickly, the sound was crisp and pleasant, and the egg liquid quickly mixed into the air and foamed.
After the pot boils, the marinated fish fillets are added, and after a while, the kung fu fish fillets turn white after being heated, and the previous sauerkraut flavor has the fragrance of rain mixed in.
Wait for a while to cook in the pot, the fish fillets are flavored, sprinkle with salt and shallots, and serve with the pot.
Take another wok and pour oil over it, fry the eggs and remove from the pan. Put in the bottom oil in the pan, add the chili pepper, and stir-fry slowly.
Zhong Yuemin's secret to making scrambled eggs with chili peppers is very simple, fry the chili peppers to bring out the flavor of the sauce, then put the chili peppers and chopped green onions, add salt, turn it twice, and get out of the pot. ใ
Just as Zhong Yuemin and Luo Jinlan were holding chopsticks and starting to tidy up, a chubby head poked in.
"Director Luo?"
Luo Jinlan looked up: "Officer Cheng, are you looking for me?"
"Director Luo, I just want to ask, do you lack someone to help you solve the leftovers?" The fat head surnamed Cheng squeezed in half of his body.
"Huh?" Luo Jinlan felt a little inexplicable, "We haven't started eating yet! Besides, we can't give you leftovers!"
"It's okay, I'm not picky. Saying that, Officer Cheng had already sat down next to the table, "You eat, I'll wait for you to eat the leftovers." โ
Luo Jinlan and Zhong Yuemin looked at each other, who is this.
Luo Jinlan is also strange, this Officer Cheng is another veteran director, and the people on both sides usually don't deal with each other, and she and this Officer Cheng are not very familiar with each other, so I don't know why this person went straight to the door.
Zhong Yuemin thought it was funny, this Cheng Officer kept his eyes on the sauerkraut fish, and he was obviously a foodie.
He took a pair of chopsticks and handed them over, "Eat some?"
Officer Cheng was flattered: "Eat some?"
"Eat!" Zhong Yuemin got off his chopsticks first and said to Luo Jinlan: "Eat them all, it won't taste right when it's cold." โ
So the three of them didn't say anything, and concentrated on dealing with the pot of fish.
At this time, the temperature was already relatively low, and the three of them actually ate a sweat.
Luo Jinlan kept drinking water spicy, but she was reluctant to put down her chopsticks and kept holding the fish fillet.
Zhong Yuemin also enjoyed it, he hadn't eaten such a spicy dish for a long time, it was really enjoyable. Seeing that Officer Cheng was still fishing for old fish fillets everywhere in the pot, he asked, "Officer Cheng, is it okay to eat?"
"It's enjoyable!" Officer Cheng finally took a piece of sauerkraut and put it in his mouth: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to eat." Everybody calls me Big Mouth, so do you. โ
Cheng Dazui continued: "This fish is really amazing! The fish is smooth and tender, the sauerkraut is sour, the chili pepper enhances the flavor, and the carrot slices are sweet and crispy, which is really just right." What's this dish called?"
"It's called sauerkraut fish, it's not as mysterious as you say, I'm just doing it blindly. Zhong Yuemin said.
"It's not a fool's errand. I think I've eaten a lot of fish, but I haven't eaten this sauerkraut fish, so you have to talk to me about it. Cheng Dazui pulled Zhong Yuemin and said.
"Director Cheng, it's late today, Zhong Yuemin has to go back to the dormitory, you can go back and find time to talk to him again." Luo Jinlan hurriedly interrupted, this conversation is over.
Cheng Dazui looked out the window and felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, when do I buy a fish, you can definitely demonstrate it to me." โ
"Okay, don't worry. Zhong Yuemin thought that this Cheng Dazui was very interesting, and he was really fascinated by eating.
After sending Cheng Dazui away, Luo Jinlan covered the door and said embarrassedly to Zhong Yuemin, "This Cheng Officer is not usually like this, I don't know what kind of demon I have today!"
"I must have made my food so delicious. Before Zhong Yuemin's words fell, there was another knock on the door.
