When I went home, I happened to pass by a farmer's market, the store was about to close, and a sign was posted at the door saying that the price of fat beef slices was reduced, and the salesman stood outside the door and shouted: "Freshly cut fat cow, cheap and cheap, 8 cents a catty!" ”

8 gross? As soon as I heard the price, several nearby citizens who were picking vegetables immediately surrounded me.

"Master, is this fat cow freshly cut?"

"yes."

"Where's the cow?"

"Inner Mongolian!"

"Oh, Inner Mongolia is good, Inner Mongolia is good, our beef in Beijing is old, toothy, not delicious. The master brought me two catties, and I wanted more fat! ”

"Okay!" The salesman replied loudly, reached into the freezer with both hands, and placed the freshly cut fat and lean beef slices on the electronic scale.

Tian Guo licked his lips and leaned in. Reborn for so long, it seems that she hasn't made a few decent dishes for her grandmother, and every day she changes green vegetables and radishes back and forth, making their house like a nunnery, and there is no meat at all. A few days ago, I ate a stewed cavity bone, but Tian Guo was not ready, the soy sauce was put too much, and the cavity bone was fished out like a black paste like a grenade, and grandma did not dislike it, saying that the color was dark and looked fragrant, and the rice.

I don't know if I can't get down to Iida, anyway, the flavor of the meat is all covered by the heavy soy sauce, and it's not delicious at all.

Fat cows are really not expensive for eight cents a pound, and they sell for two yuan during the Spring Festival! I didn't spend much money on gifts today, and the rest of the money was just to buy a pound of fat cattle to go back, and Tian Guo suddenly wanted to eat sour soup fat cows.

"Girl, what's up?" The salesman asked with a smile.

Tian Guo took a look, then pointed to the layer of fat and thin beef slices on the left side of the freezer and said, "You take the fat cow here!" ”

"How much?"

"A pound."

The fat cow slice was weighed, and the salesman turned around and asked: "Is it okay to have three taels a catty?" ”

"Okay!" Tian Guo happily took out the change.

In fact, Tian Guo is very glad that he traveled to the 80s, if in the 70s, the beef and mutton were only supplied to the Hui people, if you go to the vegetable market, people will see that the ethnic group on your non-staple food book is written "Han", nonsense, a tael of beef will not be sold to you.

Reform and opening up is good!

Carrying the fat cow Tian Guo and ran to the non-staple food store at the mouth of the alley, to make sour soup fat cow has to use enoki mushrooms and pickled wild peppers, Tian Guo is not sure whether these two things are sold in the eighties, and he searched around the store, Tian Guo only found a bag of bean paste for three cents a bag behind the counter.

"Master, do we have pickled peppers here?"

"What?" The salesman didn't understand, "Pickled peppers?" ”

"Well, the yellow-green one, produced in the area of Sichuan and Hunan." Tian Guo said.

The salesman smiled, pointed to Tian Guo and said, "You little girl is interesting, since you know that the thing was bought in the south, you went to Sijiu City to sell something, there are no pickled peppers here, only chili peppers and bean paste." ”

"Do you sell enoki mushrooms here?"

When I went to the farmers' market just now, they said that there were no enoki mushrooms here, so I asked Tian Guo to go to the grocery store and ask.

"What mushroom?" The salesman was blindsided again.

"Enoki mushroom!" Tian Guo gestured with his hand, "It's the thin kind, like a needle, pale yellow." ”

The salesman was a little devastated, and said, "What are you doing, why do you eat so much?" Pickled peppers for a while, enoki mushrooms for a while, listening to the accent, you are from Beijing, right? ”

The other party's patrolling gaze made Tian Guo quite uncomfortable, thinking to himself, where am I from someone who has anything to do with you? If there is, there is, if there is not, there is none, why is there so much nonsense? Tian Guo ignored him, turned around and walked out of the grocery store with the fat cow.

Since there are no pickled peppers, Tian Guo bought a few green and red peppers at the farmers' market, thinking that grandma is old and can eat less spicy, so let's make a light sour soup and fat beef tonight.

When I got home, the sun was setting, and when I opened the door of the house, Tian Guo began to shout: "Grandma, I'm back!" ”

A person came out of the back room with a curtain, blocking most of the light, Tian Guo was stunned, "Huh? Brother Huanran? What are you doing here? Aren't you going home tomorrow? ”

Niu Huan stood in a neat white shirt in the golden sunset, and the clothes were unbuttoned twice, revealing a tanned neck and straight collarbones. It is estimated that he has just come back, and there is still a smell of dust on his body.

"What, you're not happy that I'll come back sooner?" He joked with a smile.

There was a hint of warmth in his words, and Tian Guo smiled: "Look at what you said, I'm happy when you come back, by the way, let's eat at my house today, I'll make you sour soup and fat cow." ”

Huan Ran didn't want to stay for dinner, but when he heard the words "sour soup fat cow", his eyes narrowed: "What do you do?" ”

Tian Guo covered his mouth and smiled, "Sour soup fat cow!" Ever heard of it? ”

"No" Huan Ran felt that it was a shame to say "no" in front of Tian Guo. "What to do with? Vinegar? ”

"Not only vinegar, but also chili peppers."

"Is it delicious?"

Tian Guo rolled his eyes, pushed Niu Huanran's shoulder and walked to the back room: "Oh, why do you ask so much, you can taste it for a while." ”

Grandma looked at them and sat on the bed with a meaningful smile. Tian Guo noticed it, sighed in his heart, left Huan Ran with his hand, hurriedly said hello to his grandmother, turned around and went back to the kitchen to tie his apron and start cutting vegetables and cooking.

He was looking down to cut the pepper into small cubes, Huan Ran walked out of the back room with a small brown paper bag, first stood behind Tian Guo and looked, the setting sun reflected her slender back, the golden light stabbed his eyes, coughed lightly, Huan Ran walked over, held the paper bag in his hand, as if holding a baby, showed it to Tian Guo, and asked: "Guess what's inside?" ”

Tian Guo is busy cooking, where can he have time to guess? "You sue me directly."

Huan Ran pursed his lips, thinking that this person was too incomprehensible, shouldn't he open his eyes wide at this time and say, "Wow, what is it, let me see"?

"Just open it and see." He said rather mysteriously.

Tian Guo didn't understand why today's Niu Huanran suddenly became so abrasive, rubbed his hand on the apron twice, thinking that the paper bag was estimated to be candy, or meat floss and other things, but he didn't expect it to be enoki mushrooms

Niu Huanran, are you a rescuer sent by Sun Wukong to help me?

Her surprise fell into his eyes, and it happened to turn into the ignorance of the maiden. Great, Huan Ran deliberately looked unfathomable and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Tian Guo cooperated with a look of ignorance, "I don't know, what is this?" ”

"It's a mushroom."

"Mushrooms?" Tian Guo continued to pretend to be ignorant, "You are talking nonsense, how can a mushroom grow like this?" ”

It's so hard to pretend to be ignorant, Tian Guo is about to die of disgust from his stupid tone. But Niu Huanran liked to listen to it very much, and the more ignorant she was, the more comfortable he felt in his heart. The head approached her, and the tone suddenly became naughty like a child, and said with a smile: "It's really a mushroom, called enoki mushroom, my dad's comrades-in-arms brought it back from Heilongjiang, and it can be mixed with meat or cold salad, it is not sold in Beijing, and it is the first time I have seen this thing!" ”

"It's my first time, this thing looks so strange" Tian Guo made a few "hehe" very cooperatively, took the brown paper, and said, "It's just that let's stew meat today, put it in for a while, and taste it." ”

Huan nodded: "Okay, you do it first, I still have it at home, if it's delicious, I'll bring you some more." ”

The sour soup in the sour soup fat beef is the main hit, and when the soup is done, the dish is considered 95% successful.

If there is no yellow lantern, use a slightly less spicy pickled pepper, pickled pepper should be yellow, the taste is moderately sour and spicy, and the green pickled pepper is too spicy, less sour and salty, and the soup is not delicious. It's a pity that these two things were not sold in Beijing in the mid-eighties, Tian Guo thought about replacing it with ordinary chili peppers, the soup must have changed its taste, and it could only be eaten.

Fat beef slices first marinated in rice wine for fifteen minutes, enoki mushrooms to the roots, when going home, the door happened to meet a vegetable farmer walking the streets and alleys, Tian Guo bought a pound of mung bean sprouts, picked them, and washed them with enoki mushrooms. Finely chop the ginger and garlic and put it with the green and red peppers that were just cut into small rings.

Blanch enoki mushrooms and mung bean sprouts in hot water, remove them and set them aside, decant the water, and put them at the bottom of a large pot.

It stands to reason that the pot should use a large porcelain pot, which seems to be grade-like, but Tian Guojia does not have it, and there are a lot of flower pots but they can't be used, so they simply took a small aluminum pot.

Put water back in the pot, bring to a boil, add the fat beef slices, remove them after changing color, and then place them on top of enoki mushrooms and mung bean sprouts.

When the base is ready, it's time to stir-fry the ingredients to make the soup.

Just put the ginger and garlic and green and red peppers into the oil pot and stir-fry, grandma laughed heartily in the back room, it turned out that Niu Huanran was playing poker with grandma, grandma won, let Niu Huanran lose money to him. Tian Guo was curious, and opened a small crack in the door curtain, the lights in the house were not turned on, and the sunset reflected the grandparents and grandchildren in the house, sitting with their backs to the door, one side of his cheek was lit up by golden light, and the light was a little empty, making him look fluffy.

"Grandma is so powerful, Huan Ran is convinced, but in the next game, grandma wants to be merciful, I don't have much money today, don't lose all your pants here for a while." After speaking, Huan Ran took out five cents from his pocket and put it on the kang table.

Grandma looked at him and smiled, with kind eyebrows, pulled the five cents aside, and asked softly when she shuffled the cards: "Ranzi, how old are you this year?" ”

"Twenty-six years old."

"It's a genus," grandma thought to herself about the genus of Tianguo. Tian Guo's birthday is small, and he is born in the moon, and he is exactly 21 years old this year, which is a snake.

"Grandma, I'm a rat." Huan Ran took over and began to deal cards. There was a sour and spicy fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and when she looked back, she saw Tian Guo working there through a mottled glass, and the weather was hot, she tied up her long hair and wiped the sweat on her forehead.

"Tian Guo, make a dish!" He shouted.

"Got it, just make a hot dish and a cold dish!" Tian Guo turned his head sideways and smiled sweetly at him.

Huan Ran took a deep breath, and the area on his chest suddenly became stuffy.

And the grandmother sitting opposite is rapidly calculating whether her granddaughter and Niu Huanran's genus are compatible or not, fortunately it is not six chong, in memory, the rat and the snake don't seem to be harmonious, right? The snake is so powerful, it can't bite a mouse to death with one mouth, hey, it's a natural enemy! However, in my memory, the pigs and tigers are not compatible with the snake people, and the horses, rabbits and sheep are the rats
