Chapter 243: Fish Feast
In the hearts of Chinese people, "eating" occupies half of the country. Every time there is an important moment, there is always a good meal to celebrate. Red and white ceremonies, reunions after a long absence, all have to gather together for a big meal. Of course, Yang Xiaobei is no exception, in order to celebrate Zhou Pinzheng's return, he specially cooked and renovated a "whole fish feast" for everyone.
Although Zhou Pinzheng once wanted to snatch the spatula himself, Yang Xiaobei said righteously, "Today's guest from afar, I will be the chef to entertain you!"
…… Well, since this is the case, Zhou Pinzheng is still reluctant to leave the kitchen for half a step, and then washes the onions and garlic, the slimy appearance of the two people makes Yi Huifen look spicy, and she is waiting in the hall while watching TV - who doesn't have a husband yet? Show affection!
It is said to be a whole fish feast, but in fact, there are only two dishes, a fish head tofu soup, and a fish hot pot made according to the local cooking method. Heat the pot on a high fire, pour enough rapeseed oil, wait for the oil to boil, put the fish into the pot, fry until both sides are browned, and then put in the farmer's homemade bean paste, ginger, green onion, garlic, dried chili, and the indispensable Sichuan pepper, stir-fry until fragrant, add boiling water and boil for more than half an hour, and then add shredded white radish after the fish is completely flavorful, and eat while cooking.
Fresh, pure wild fish, the meat is delicate and tender, spicy and fragrant after absorbing enough soup, and it is very satisfying to take a bite. The shredded radish inside absorbs the umami of the fish, removes the unique pungency of the radish, and adds a hint of sweetness, which is a unique way to eat in my hometown. Because the fish is too big, the largest soup pot is used for a fish head soup, and when the fish is served, it has to be served together with a wok, and the "big pot rice" is eaten directly on the stove.
After taking a sip of the milky white and slightly sweet fish soup, Yang Xiaobei's eyes narrowed with satisfaction, just like a cat who finally ate the fish, it was so delicious! The smoke and fire in the kitchen before were worth it, only the food could not be disappointed, such a good fish, if you don't take care of it yourself, you are not willing to do it!
Zhou Pinzheng also let go of his belly to eat. Not to mention the bad food on the train, my sweetheart cooks the food specially for me, and I am sorry if I don't eat it all. Besides, Xiaobei's roasted fish is indeed a must, and she is reluctant to do it without good ingredients, he has missed it for a long time!
There is no need to say much in front of the delicacy, just when they are eating happily, Yi Huifen's face is not very good-looking. Yang Xiaobei scooped her a bowl of her favorite fish head soup with some confusion, and said, "Drink it while it's hot! Don't you like to eat fish heads?"
Yi Huifen was also helpless. She likes to eat fish heads, but she doesn't know what's wrong today, and she doesn't have much appetite. I didn't want to watch them show affection in the kitchen, and I felt tightness in my chest, so I didn't help. Is it really that she made it herself to eat deliciously? She took the chopsticks and pulled the fish bones in the bowl with a sad face, very depressed.
From childhood to adulthood, her eating was the best. Not picky eater, eat so fragrant, she really hasn't had such an appetizing experience as now, looking at the dishes in front of her, she was about to cry, "Xiaobei, am I sick?"
Yang Xiaobei was eating happily, and was startled by what her mother said, holding up chopsticks and saying, "What's wrong?
"I can't tell what is uncomfortable, it's just that I have a bad appetite. Is it a stomach problem or something?" Yi Huifen said dejectedly.
Yang Xiaobei looked at her mother in horror - since her parents became relatives after the year, she was busy dealing with the affairs of the clinic, many patients who were not in a hurry, and the patients that her mother dealt with during the time she left to be examined, she was so busy that she had forgotten that there was such a thing waiting for her. If you do the math...... It's been two months since I got married, Mom, is this?
According to the time, their birthday is at the end of September, and their marriage is in the first month, which means that they hit the heart of the heart...... Ahem, it seems a little embarrassing to say this, but my parents are really amazing! Because I still have a little bit of a reaction to this matter from the bottom of my heart, and I am busy, Yang Xiaobei didn't even think about it. Although it has not been confirmed, according to my mother's performance, I shouldn't have run away - when did I see that my mother couldn't eat?
The good food was tasteless in an instant, and Yang Xiaobei unconsciously put the chopsticks in his mouth and bit it, and his mind was blank. To be honest, she hasn't figured out how to face the soon-to-be-born "self" until now, it's too weird to be there? But some things may have been arranged in the dark, this child has arrived at the scheduled time, and her self-deception can no longer be fooled.
"Xiaobei, what's wrong?" There were two people at the dinner table, and neither of them ate, which made Zhou Pinzheng a little baffled. What a good fish, it's so fresh that your eyebrows are about to fall off, why is there a lack of interest in a blink of an eye?
"It's okay...... Well, something's wrong. Yang Xiaobei replied absentmindedly, seeing that her mother was still at a loss, she couldn't help but have a headache, who could tell her, how could she tell her that you are pregnant with her mother, and you are pregnant with the future "me"?
Zhou Pinzheng was confused by her and Yi Huifen, and didn't know whether to eat or not. Don't eat it, Xiao Beixin worked hard to prepare the food for himself, don't eat it seems to be sorry for others, eat, one sighs for a long time, one is preoccupied, what are you going to make trouble? I don't know if I just came back, don't you know the situation?
A few people were staring at each other, and the door of the hall was pushed open with a "squeak", "It's so fragrant! What are you eating?" Yang Qitai walked in energetically, "Wow! This fish is well cooked!"
Since school started today, he has worked tirelessly to get back from the city every week. It's a little farther away, but fortunately, there is a hitchhike every time to reach it. In order to be able to see the newlywed wife every week, it is nothing to get up early and touch the dark. It wasn't dark for him to get home, but he found that his wife and sister didn't have the warm welcome as usual, and looked at it, "Hey, Xiao Zhou is back?"
Zhou Pinzheng stood up and brought dishes and chopsticks to his uncle and said, "Well, I arrived this afternoon." "There has always been a faint relationship between the two of them, Yang Qitai has always had a knot in his heart for this person who wants to kidnap his sister-in-law, especially after learning about the Zhou family, he has become more and more unpleasant. Zhou Pin is aware that he has now turned positive, and he doesn't know how to increase his uncle's favorability.
Both of them found out that something was wrong with Xiaobei and Huifen, and Yang Qitai didn't bother to eat first, and asked, "What's the matter? I'm so happy to see me come back that I don't eat anymore?"
Yang Xiaobei was hesitating, his father fell from the sky and appeared in front of him, he was simply a rescuer sent by God......! Brother, you're back, something is wrong!"
She was so emotional that it scared everyone. "Okay, okay! they're all big girls, and they're still coquettish! Tell me, what's going on?" Yang Qitai couldn't cry or laugh, and said dotingly.
"Yes, don't scare us!" Zhou Pinzheng frowned and agreed, although he was a brother and sister, he was still a little disappointed when he saw Xiaobei throw herself into her brother's arms. It's not that I can't get used to seeing them so close. It's - you haven't taken the initiative to throw yourself into my arms, it's too discriminatory!
