Chapter 38:
Zhang Jin carried the bag into the kitchen, and wanted to shell the lobster first, but when he poured it out, he found that all the shrimp had been removed from the head and tail and brushed clean.
Zhang Jin was a little depressed, he was really not interested in this dish, he liked to eat shrimp without shells, and it was lobster tail meat, but many people here seemed to have a soft spot for spicy crayfish, and even his grandfather liked to let people catch a few catties of shrimp from time to time, with boiled edamame or peanuts, and drink some wine.
There was a sound of footsteps in his ears, Zhang Jin looked up, and saw Dongfang Yao didn't know when he came to the yard, and he was smiling and watching him walk towards the kitchen......
"Is there anything you need me to help with?" Dongfang Yao was already standing at the door of the kitchen.
Zhang Jin hurriedly got up, and said with a little red on his face: "Well, no." Brother Yao, you, you can watch TV in the house, I'll be busy alone. â
Dongfang Yao was noncommittal, glanced at the shrimp in the white porcelain basin on the ground, and said with a smile: "Do you want to make spicy crayfish at noon?"
"Uh, Brother Yao should have eaten it, do you like it?"
"It's okay, but I'll basically only eat the meat off the tail of the lobster. â
"Then ......" might as well not do it. Zhang Jin wanted to say.
It's a pity that the person on the other side didn't give him a chance to shirk at all, and then said, "Will you do it?"
"Hmm. My grandfather loved it. "If my grandfather likes it, he has to be able to do it.
"Then I'll try your handiwork. â
Can ...... say no? Zhang Jin didn't know how to speak.
Although there is a person standing at the kitchen door to 'monitor' his own cooking, I feel very unaccustomed, but people insist, and it is not easy for me to refuse, and I can't continue to entangle myself at this time. Zhang Jin had to be forced to be calm and act as a 'monitor' and not exist.
Soaking the crayfish in the basin, Zhang Jin turned around and began to wash the pot and prepare for cooking, in 97 years of Woniu Village, the rice cooker has not yet appeared, and basically every household still relies on iron pots and firewood to cook.
Before preparing the dish, Zhang Jin stuffed the rice according to his usual procedure, although his grandfather is almost seventy years old this year, but he has good teeth, so he loves to eat rice with pot made of iron pot. Therefore, Zhang Jin is also a must to cook rice pots, and sometimes, after the dishes are fried, he specially prepares a crispy and delicious pot for his grandfather with a little oil.
Dongfang Yao sat under the eaves of the kitchen and slowly peeled a small handful of green onions brought by Zhang Jin, quietly looking at the person boiling water and washing rice in the kitchen, it could be seen that the other party was a little nervous at the beginning, but then slowly seemed to treat him as if he didn't save zĂ i, and the skillful movements in it let people know that this child has never cooked since he was a child.
After putting the rice in the pot, Zhang Jin adjusted the firewood in the stove, got up and took out the meat he bought in the morning, cut out a part of it that he would use at noon today, and soaked and cleaned it with the water he had just washed the rice.
Dongfang Yao didn't know why he used rice water to wash vegetables, so he didn't say much.
Zhang Jin did not pick up the meat immediately after soaking it in the rice washing water, but turned around and took out the black sherbet bag containing the fish, took a plastic bucket from the utility room, and poured the fish into it.
"This is wild?" Dongfang Yao glanced at the fish in the bucket.
Zhang Jin nodded, and flicked his hand in the bucket a few times, wanting to see if the fish was more lively.
While doing his hand, he replied to Dongfang Yao's words: "Good luck today, this is caught by someone else, and it is difficult to buy black fish at this time." Brother Yao, what kind of fish do you like to eat?"
"I prefer fish with fewer spines. â
That's the black fish, Zhang Jinxin said. His eyes were also on the black fish that wanted to dive to the bottom of the barrel.
"Then it's better to make blackfish at noon today.
Dongfang Yao smiled, swam around the carp, and said, "If it's not troublesome, you can have some both, I want to try your craftsmanship." â
"......" Zhang Jin said in his heart: It's very troublesome! Killing fish is a troublesome job! It's just that as the host, since the guest asks for it, even if it is troublesome, it must not be troublesome.
Dongfang Yao seemed to feel Zhang Jin's speechlessness for a second, and held back a smile, the corners of his mouth hooked and hooked.
Grandpa Zhang was picked up by Zhang's father from Xiaoli Zhai on a motorcycle, and when he came back, it was already after half past twelve at noon, and Zhang Jin had basically prepared the meal to be eaten at noon.
According to the requirements of Grandpa Zhang's usual hospitality, the hospitality must be sixty or ninety-two, Zhang Jin made twelve dishes today, eight of which are so-called hard dishes, namely cold pork liver, husband and wife lung slices, sweet and sour pork ribs, Dongpo meat, braised black fish segments, stewed chicken with mushrooms, spicy crayfish and fish head tofu soup. The other four vegetarian dishes are all vegetarian dishes found in the vegetable garden.
"Don't be busy eating. Seeing Grandpa Zhang carrying his medicine box on his back and striding into the yard in a hurry, Zhang Jin wanted to ask whether to eat first or see a doctor first, but he heard Grandpa come and say, "Come over too." â
"Oh!" Zhang Jin glanced at the direction of the tearoom in the main house, and retreated to the kitchen to explain to the eldest brother who was burning the fire,
The door from the hall to the backyard had been opened, and the few people who had been sitting in the tea room were gone. Zhang Jin walked directly to the backyard, came to the backyard, and through the window of the pharmacy, he saw that Grandpa Zhang was closing his eyes and recuperating to check Dongfang Yao's pulse.
Zhang Jin was a little strange, wasn't Dongfang Yao's body very healthy, especially after that time, with the effect of Da Huandan, he had inadvertently diagnosed the pulse, and the other party didn't even have a secret physical disease.
"Dick. When Grandpa Zhang opened his eyes, he saw Zhang Jin walking in from outside, and motioned, "You help this kid take a look." â
Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment, looked at Dongfang Yao and then at his grandfather, and finally walked over.
