Chapter Seventy-Three: Changes

A sweet fruit puree made the two children very satisfied, and then Li Ran let the vanilla look at the children first, and he went to cook the fish himself. The two fish were handled by Chen Hu, and they were waiting for Li Ran to do it.

Li Ran's skillful "swish, swish" two knives cut the cleaned fish head and tail, and then on the side of the fish, the head and tail were each sliced with a knife. Although I haven't cooked for a long time, fortunately, I haven't lost my skills. The skills I learned when I worked part-time and the strong metamorphosis of this body now, I am more and more handy.

Sauerkraut fish originated from Sichuan cuisine, but after it was spread to various places, it was changed to adapt to the taste of various places. Li Ran can only cook Sichuan-style sauerkraut fish, after all, most of what he learned at the beginning was Sichuan cuisine.

There is no major change in the approach, the difference is mainly in the first step. First, marinate the sliced fish fillets with salt and cooking wine, and mix them with starch and egg whites. Then put the sliced ginger, garlic, sauerkraut and small pepper into the oil pan and stir-fry with peppercorns, and after the fragrance comes out, put the fish head and tail into the fry first, and then add water to boil.

After the sauerkraut fish soup is flavorful, put the marinated fish fillets in, and after the soup is milky white, Li Ran tasted the saltiness, and felt that it was suitable and could be out of the pot.

Serve the cooked sauerkraut fish and sprinkle it with a layer of chopped green onions and small red peppers. The red chili peppers and green onions are paired with the milky white soup with oil flowers, and the smell is even more intoxicating.

"Company commander, when did you learn to cook?" Chen Hu next to him couldn't help but ask with a look of surprise. In his impression, the company commander had never cooked with his own hands, let alone made it so delicious as he was now.

From retiring from the army to Li Ran to the present, he has always habitually called Li Ran Company Commander. But for his company commander, he is getting more and more unable to see clearly.

In just two or three months, he seemed to be a different person. As soon as we met, I had children, not to mention, and now I am still doing such a big business every day. But he just sighed that the company commander deserved to be a company commander, and he was so powerful everywhere.

However, what Chen Hu really couldn't figure out was how the company commander's personality could change so much. He didn't say he was irritable before, but he was not polite to a group of big-headed soldiers, and even he was trained for what he didn't do wrong. But now he was seen every day with a gentle appearance, and he was rarely seen angry, and he had only seen this on the face of the chief who came down to inspect.

He also thought about it, thinking that the company commander now has a child, and it makes sense that his temper has become mild. But now that he doesn't smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, he either reads the news or reads books when he is free, which makes Chen Hu too incomprehensible. It is strange that a person's living habits and ways of doing things have changed so much.

Li Ran naturally didn't expect that his cooking skills would make Chen Hu sigh, so he casually said in a panic without care: "I learned to cook with my mother a long time ago, how do you smell good?"

Chen Hu was obviously still skeptical, and asked again: "Then before we discharged the task, you said you couldn't cook?"

"Are you stupid or not, I want to say that I can do it, do you still have to do it?" Li Ran replied with a smile, and then in order to prevent him from asking and asking questions, he couldn't panic, so he directly sent him to wash the vegetables. One sauerkraut fish was obviously not enough for three people, so he fried a green pepper shredded pork and vinegared cabbage.

After eating with Chen Hu first, let him change the herbs to eat, while Li Ran made another fish. Taking advantage of the fact that it had just come out of the pot and the proximity of the two families, Li Ran planned to use a basin with a lid to pack it and send it to the Mo Wen family.

By the time Li Ran was ready, it was already past six o'clock, and he took the loaded sauerkraut fish and sent it to the Mo family. It was already dark when he went out, and Li Ran went back to get a flashlight. Yanjing gets dark early in winter, and it is basically dark by six o'clock, and it is completely dark at seven o'clock.

He and Mo Wen can talk, so the two families often move around, and they are close neighbors. In addition, because of the last time she helped Mo Jiajia, her mother Su Yuezhen may have known, although she didn't say anything to thank her, but she bought toys and clothes for the two children several times. Li Ran can't just accept things with peace of mind, and occasionally buy some fruits or something to send over.

In this way, after getting along several times, the two families are becoming more and more familiar. Sometimes on weekends, the family of three also comes over to have a meal and chat together, and Li Ran will also take the children to Mo's house from time to time to visit for a while. went to Mo Mu Su Yuezhen and Mo Jiajia to watch the children, and he could also play chess with Mo Wen, talk about national affairs for a while, and relieve boredom.

When I arrived at Mo's house, "Bang, Bang, Bang" knocked on the door. After a while, a familiar voice came from inside, "Who?" asked Mo Jiajia.

"It's me!" Li Ran responded. After hearing his voice, Mo Jiajia opened the door from the inside, looked at Li Ran and said in surprise, "Is the child uncomfortable again?"

Li Ran replied: "No, I bought two fish in the afternoon, and I made sauerkraut fish just now, and I thought I would send one to you." "Some time ago, An An caught a cold at night and had a high fever that did not go away. Li Ran found Mo Jiajia at ten o'clock in the evening, showed the child, and then drove her to grab the medicine, and tossed until more than twelve o'clock before she went back.

"It's quite fragrant, your little nanny is good at cooking. He was not polite, he took the basin in Li Ran's hand, smelled the smell, and praised it. But she didn't know that Li Ran made it, and thought it was made of vanilla.

"I don't know if the little nanny has a long craft, but I made this fish anyway. Li Ran said with a smile.

Inside, Mo heard Li Ran's voice, and came out of the house to beckon Li Ran to come in and sit. entered the house, said "Hello Auntie" to Mo's mother in the house, and then sat on the sofa with Mo Wen. Subsequently, Mo Jiajia came back from the kitchen and poured him a cup of tea, and Li Ran said "thank you" and took over.

Before Li Ran came, their family should have been watching TV. When he sat down, it was exactly seven o'clock when the news was on the TV. CCTV News broadcasts the same routine for thousands of years, starting with talking about the dire situation of foreign people, and then a period of unpredictable international relations.

Following the entry into force of the Treaty in November '93, the European Union was formally established, and by New Year's Day '94, the European Economic Area was established after eliminating the adverse effects caused by Switzerland's opposition to joining the European Union in '92. This is the biggest news in this period of time, and the news has been reported since yesterday, and the aftermath is still extraordinary the next day. can make the news network can't help but broadcast for two days in a row, and the impact can be seen. It was just news time, so Li Ran didn't rush back, sat and watched the news with Mo Wen, and chatted for a while by the way.

"Yesterday, I was thinking about playing chess with you, but you weren't there, but I didn't expect to come to the door today. Mo Wen said to Li Ran with a smile.

Mo's family has a stove, and the house is very warm, but there is always a smell of soot, but fortunately, he is not so sensitive in this life. Peeling the oranges handed over by Mo's mother, he replied with a smile: "I went home to accompany my parents for New Year's Day yesterday, and I stayed at night and didn't come back, but I let you run for nothing." ”

"Is your mother going back?" asked Mo Mu after Li Ran finished speaking.

"I'm going back, I'm going to stay home with my dad. "A few days ago, when my mother was living here, I met Mo's mother, who came to see the two children, and the two of them chatted together a few times. They are about the same age, and they are all women working in the system, so they talk very speculatively.

While watching the news and chatting, before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed. I originally wanted to play a game of chess with Mo Wen, but seeing that the time was not too early, I planned to go back.

It was already very dark, and he didn't let Mo Wen send it, so he went out and went back. I brought a flashlight with me when I left, and now I'm not afraid of falling into the ditch after dark.

When I got home, the two children hadn't slept yet, so I bathed the two little ones with Vanilla, dried them and went to sleep.

The babysitter that Vanilla helped find will come over tomorrow morning, but he won't have time to see him in the morning. When Lin An came back this morning, he planned to come over directly, but Li Ran deliberately left him time to go home and rest for a while, so that he could come back tomorrow. So tomorrow morning, he plans to talk to Lin An in a quiet way, and give him a wind in the evening.

Thinking that there would be a lot of things going on tomorrow, after coaxing the two children to sleep, Li Ran himself hurriedly went into the bathroom to wash up, and then went to bed.
