Xiaohong asked Chen Hui: "Chen Hui, where were you when you were a child?"

Chen Hui said: "Follow my dad, but I have stayed in a lot of places, and I stay in Longjiang for a long time, otherwise I won't be bad at studying, and I always transfer schools, so it's strange if I can be good." ”

The uncle came out of the convenience store with a cigarette: "Xiaowei, Xiaohui, Xiaohong, are you off work?"

The three of them called uncle, and Xiaohong asked, "Is the business good uncle?"

The uncle smiled and said, "It's better than the original farming, it's good." What to eat?"

Uncle, their generation coaxed children to give some snacks, at that time there was a lack of everything, and a piece of candy was a great good thing.

The three of them shook their heads with a smile and said they wouldn't eat it, Xiaohong said, "Hey, uncle, do you have any canned meat here, it's not luncheon meat, it's the kind with soup." ”

The uncle looked back at the store and said, "Yes, there are several kinds, I don't remember which ones are produced, do you want them? The iron box from Shanghai seafood is better, I'll get it for you." He turned around and walked into the store.

Xiaowei asked Xiaohong, "Do you want to eat canned food?"

Xiaohong said: "It seems that I haven't eaten it for a long time, and I suddenly remembered." ”

Chen Hui said: "I still like canned fish, why is the meat not as delicious as fresh meat?"

Xiaohong said: "Each has its own taste, can the steamed potatoes and eggplants be the same as the stewed ones?"

Xiaowei said: "Canned food is steamed at high temperature, the taste is really different, it turns out that I can occasionally eat canned fruit a few times throughout the year, don't think about the meat and fish, Xiaohong's family conditions are better, I have never eaten the meat of the fish." ”

Chen Hui said: "I always ate it when I was a child, but now I rarely eat it, this is really a bit gluttonous, I buy two canned fish." "I walked into the convenience store.

Canned food was still the main force in the grocery market in this era, unlike later, when few people ate it.

After a while, the uncle took five boxes of canned meat, Chen Hui took two boxes of canned fish and came out, Chen Hui said, "Xiaowei, uncle doesn't want money." ”

Xiaowei said in the past: "Uncle, you still have to calculate and collect the money, you are a business, you have to follow the rules, even if you take things home, it is best to calculate an account and put the money in it, so that the final account is accurate, anyway, it is all your own in the end." ”

The uncle said, "I will charge you for a few cans of food, take it." ”

Xiaowei said: "That's not good, which of us can lose this little money? Come on, I'll get it, I haven't gotten this equipment yet. ”

At this time, the supermarket cash register is very simple, and the display screen is a nine-inch black and white large-head machine, using a DOS cursor system. We only began to fully implement the barcode in June 92 in China, and there are still many products that do not have barcodes, and they need to be manually entered in the store code, which is still very troublesome, but in the eyes of people in this era, it is quite high-tech.

Enter the code, click confirm, the result will be displayed on the screen, and the drawer containing the change below will automatically pop open.

At this time in 92, canned food was still a high-consumption commodity, a box of canned braised pork cost six or seven yuan, and a box of Merlin luncheon meat was eleven yuan, which was really expensive.

After paying, the three of them said goodbye to the uncle and walked to the yard with cans, and walked to the door to see Chen Xiao and Geng Hui holding their children in front of the garage talking, the two little guys with their legs in their mother's arms, leaning forward vigorously, you touched my face, I patted your head, and said something I didn't understand.

Chen Xiao saw Xiaowei and the three of them coming over, and took a look: "What are you doing here? ”

Xiaohong ran over to tease the two children: "If you want to eat, buy it, I'm hungry." ”

Chen Xiao stuffed Xiao Xiaohui into Xiao Hong's arms and said, "Eat, what's so delicious about broken toys, lack of meat? People say that canned sausages are rice and pork, which makes you have a belly full of big worms." ”

Xiaowei asked, "What are you two doing standing here?"

Geng Hui said: "Wander around, let the child blow the wind." ”

Several people walked towards the main building together.

Xiaowei's mother, Aunt Wang, and the aunt who cooked the rice were cleaning up and preparing dinner, Xiaowei put the canned food on the board and turned around, and said, "Come on, I'll make a messy stew, I haven't made it for a long time." Mom, how many ribs do you have?"

Xiaowei's mother said: "Yes, you can use it, you won't get it here, it's all eaten anyway." ”

Xiaowei said, "What are you going to do?"

Aunt Wang stood up and washed her hands and said, "What else can I get, stew some potatoes or radish." ”

Xiaowei said: "Forget it, I'll stew it." ”

Aunt Cooking said with a smile: "Now the name of this dish is also strange, stir-fried casually, stewed and stewed, I don't know who made it." ”

Xiaowei's mother said: "It's not just a messy stew, a mess to stew together." ”

Xiao Wei found a stew pot, added half a pot of bone broth to it, lit the fire, and then took a small basin and took a few potatoes, some beans, a few eggplants, five or six green peppers and two red spoons, washed them and put them aside. Cut some green onions, slice ginger, pat a few cloves of garlic, throw them into the soup, wrap some peppercorns in gauze, put them in, and cover them with a lid.

I found a small bowl and chopped some chopped shallots and garlic, and chopped coriander for later use.

The ribs are ready, already cooked, and ready to use.

Light another stove eye, sit on the frying spoon, base oil, put the washed kidney beans in and fry them, wait for the beans to change color, add some soy sauce, add a spoonful of bone broth, boil the soup base, turn off the stove, and pour the beans in the frying spoon into the stew pot together with the soup.

He took a small spoon and scooped the potatoes into the pot piece by piece with a spoon, and the eggplant and pepper were torn by hand, and the red pimple was torn first, squeezing the juice into the pot, and then chopped with a knife and put it in, and when the soup was boiling, he added salt, soy sauce, and a little sugar, and put in the pork ribs.

There are no requirements for this, and meat is fine.

Try not to cut potatoes and eggplants with a knife, if you need to use a knife to cut them, you should also soak them in water for a while, otherwise the cut will be red and rusty.

When the boiling was large, Xiaowei took a canned braised pork, cut the iron sheet, poured the can into the pot, and turned the stove to a small stove and covered the lid. Just simmer on low heat, as long as you don't dry the pan, the longer the better.

Generally, it can be stewed for half an hour to 40 minutes, and the soup should be added enough at one time to collect slowly, and no soup or water should be added in the middle.

If you use fresh pork ribs, you need to cook the ribs first, and after the ribs are cooked, you can go directly to the soup without taking them out.

Wait for the soup to concentrate and thicken, add chicken essence or monosodium glutamate, pour the prepared minced green onion and garlic into it, stir well, turn off the heat and put it in a bowl, sprinkle with chopped coriander, and an authentic stew is ready.

Adding canned meat will make the stew thick and fresh. If you like spicy food, you can add some dried red peppers to the soup at the beginning.

The rice over there has been served, and the dishes are almost fried, Xiaowei brought the messy stew to the table, and Xiaohong sniffled: "It's so fragrant." ”
