Zheng Fei's parents are not at home, only her grandfather is at home, and her grandmother has passed away.

When Wang Xiao drove into Zheng's house in a luxury RV, Grandpa Zheng was fishing in his own fish pond.

Zheng Fei's villa is located on the mountain and river, and there is a fish pond near the river. The fish pond is equipped with a sluice, which can be connected with the river water, the water quality is particularly good, and the fish species raised are particularly many. Most of these fish are used for ornamentation, but occasionally a few are caught for cooking. Fishing is also Grandpa Zheng's pastime.

When people are old, their wives are gone, and there are not even neighbors around, Grandpa Zheng is equivalent to an empty nester.

When he had nothing to do, he sat alone on the edge of the pond and fished.

This is his way of passing the time, and by the way, he can also cultivate his self-cultivation.

He was content with this kind of life.

Although this life is a little lonely, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and you can get peace of mind.

Grandpa Zheng received a call from Zheng Fei last night, knowing that Zheng Fei was going to bring his boyfriend back, so he went to the river to fish early this morning, preparing to catch fish and cook for a few days himself. Grandpa Zheng was very happy in the morning. Although he hadn't seen Wang Xiao, he hadn't heard Zheng Fei mention it. In Zheng Fei's mouth, Wang Xiao is an amazing young man. When Zheng Fei talked about Wang Xiao, he was full of joy and happiness, and his eyes were full of envy.

Grandpa Zheng believes that the young man who can make his granddaughter so happy must be an extraordinary person.

Because his granddaughter is not an ordinary person, she is intelligent and spiritual, and she is very discerning.

"Grandpa!"

Zheng Fei shouted with a smile and ran towards his grandfather from afar.

Grandpa Zheng turned around and stood up, looking at Zheng Fei's smile, looking extremely happy.

Wang Xiao watched from behind, and Zheng Fei ran over happily like a girl seeing her dear grandfather.

Seeing Zheng Fei so happy, Wang Xiao couldn't help but be happy for Zheng Fei.

In addition to being happy, Wang Xiao also has envy. When he was in middle school, his grandparents died young. Therefore, every time he returns to his hometown, he always feels that there is a missing piece of emotion.

As the saying goes, the next generation is a parent.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is the closest one.

Parents are responsible for disciplining their children, but they are not as close as grandparents.

"We're back. Okay, just right, I caught two fish. Let's go, let's go back, I'll give you a fish soup to drink." Grandpa Zheng spoke happily, packing up the fishing rod and basket. The old man is about sixty years old, but he still looks very energetic, he doesn't look old at all, he looks like he is fifty years old, and his hands and feet are very sharp.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this, I brought the coolies back today. Let me introduce you to you, this is my boyfriend Wang Xiao. It's good if you let me hold these things. Zheng Fei said happily.

"Hello grandpa! Let me take these! Wang Xiao stepped forward to help with the things.

In the basket there are a few big fish that are alive and vibrant, and they look fresh and fat.

"Okay, okay." Grandpa Zheng glanced at the handsome Wang Xiao appreciatively, and then went to talk to Zheng Fei about family life, and asked, "How are you doing?" Do you miss your grandfather? You went to meet your boyfriend's parents and went well, right? ”

Zheng Fei happily responded to her grandfather's question, and asked her about her grandfather's recent situation. When it came to going to Wang Xiao's house, she was especially happy, and talked about a lot of interesting things, which made Wang Xiao feel interesting when she heard it.

It's not that things are really interesting, it's that Zheng Fei thinks things are interesting and makes him feel interesting.

Back at the Zheng family's villa, Grandpa Zheng asked Wang Xiao to hand over the fish he had just caught to the cook, and let the cook go to the kitchen to deal with it simply, and then he would personally cook the fish soup for Zheng Fei to drink. Fish soup is a good thing for beauty and beauty.

"Grandpa, you don't have to be busy today. Let me do my filial piety, and you will have a ready-made meal. ”

When sitting down to drink tea and chat in the living room, Zheng Fei said with a happy smile. …,

Grandpa Zheng laughed happily.

"Haha, our Fei Fei can also cook! Sure enough, I'm growing up, I'm going to get married, and I'm learning to cook! ”

"Grandpa, I don't know it yet, I'm working on it. But Wang Xiao can cook, and his cooking is equal to me. ”

"Hahaha, good, good, the people take food as the sky, and they can cook and eat very well. What will he do? ”

"He will cook a lot, southern cuisine, northern cuisine, pasta, rice, everything."

Zheng Fei praised Wang Xiao vigorously, and Wang Xiao was a little embarrassed.

"It's not that exaggerated, and I'll make a few home-cooked dishes, and some pasta or something."

Wang Xiao said humbly.

Wang Xiao is a very low-key person. If ordinary people want to have such a ability as him, they will definitely be arrogant. A humble character like his is something that ordinary people can't do. This is self-cultivation.

A person standing at the top of the world, but being able to see himself as ordinary, is a great cultivation.

The so-called being able to go up and down, be happy and happy, and be unfettered, is this kind of realm.

If you stand at the top and can't get off the shelf, you can only enjoy the taste of being cold from a high place.

The point is that the people at the top don't want to come down and come down.

This can only be done with otherworldly cultivation.

If you can go up, you can go down, you can go up when you come down, you can do whatever you want, this is the great realm.

Wang Xiao is a person who has reached the great realm.

So, most people look at him as quite ordinary, but that's what makes him unusual.

"Oh, you know how to make pasta?" Grandpa Zheng asked Wang Xiao with interest.

"Yes."

"Do you know how to make fried noodles?"

"Yes."

"Well, I went to the North when I was younger. At that time, in the north, the main food was pasta, and there were no vegetables, so noodles were boiled in plain water. Hey, it was a bitter day, and I still remember it. What did you want to eat at that time? It's chow mein. Dumplings are rare to eat, and white flour is particularly difficult to make. If the flour is not good, it will not make dumplings. Noodles are not so particular, and they can be made into noodles mixed with various coarse grains. It's all noodles, why do you want to eat fried noodles instead of boiled noodles? Because there are many vegetables in the fried noodles, and there are few vegetables in the boiled noodles, or even no vegetables, just mix them with salt and eat them like that. To this day, I remember the aroma of chow mein. ”

"I also like to eat chow mein. The taste is fragrant and more sincere. ”

"How about you make me a fried noodle meal today?" Grandpa Zheng looked at Wang Xiao with eager eyes.

Wang Xiao really couldn't bear to refuse, and nodded in response: "Okay." ”

"Grandpa, what's so delicious about fried noodles? Ask him to cook a few of your specialties for you! Zheng Fei said coquettishly.

Grandpa Zheng smiled: "Hehe, silly girl, you don't understand this." The simpler the home-cooked food, the more it tests the kung fu. You say he can cook, but I don't know how well he cooks. As long as he makes this chow mein, I can know how good he is. Cooking is a university question, broad and profound, easy to learn and difficult to master. ”

Wang Xiao said confidently: "Feifei, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do a good job." ”

Kitchen.

Wang Xiao used the flour and noodles brought from home, put a little salt in the water and the noodles, kneaded the dough repeatedly until it was smooth and even, and rolled it into a large, thin sheet with a rolling pin. After sprinkling a layer of dough on top of the dough sheet, wrap the dough sheet layer by layer on top of the rolling pin, and then use a knife to cut the middle of the rolling pin to cut the layers of dough horizontally. In this way, the large dough sheet becomes several layers of small dough sheet.

Then, Wang Xiao used a knife to cut the layered dough sheet vertically, and then cut it into short, thin noodles.

In this way, the noodles for yakisoba are ready.

At the same time, the cook helped wash and cut the shredded meat and vegetables, as well as spices such as green onions, ginger and garlic.

Wang Xiao sat in the pot and put a little oil, then put in shredded meat for stir-frying, and successively put in spices such as green onions, ginger and garlic. After a short burst of incense, he put the various vegetables cut in. When the vegetables were almost cooked, he put the short, thin noodles in the pot and put some water along the rim of the pot. …,

Finally, he closes the lid and simmers the noodles with steam.

After a few minutes, the noodles are steamed.

Wang Xiao opened the lid of the pot, the heat was steaming, and the aroma was overflowing.

Then, he quickly stirs it with chopsticks, so that the noodles are mixed with vegetables, spices, etc.

This pot of fried noodles is ready.

"Grandpa, do you think this fried noodles are okay?" Wang Xiao asked confidently.

When he was making fried noodles, Zheng Fei and his grandfather were always watching from the sidelines, watching how his fried noodles were made.

"Well, that's good." Grandpa Zheng nodded.

"I'll taste it." Zheng Fei took a pair of chopsticks and put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully. "Well, it's delicious, it's really delicious. Wang Xiao, I didn't expect you to make pasta so delicious. You're so talented. ”

"What's this? I've been there since I was a kid. Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little proud.

I only heard Grandpa Zheng say again: "You are really an ordinary family method of fried noodles." Actually, there are many things that can be improved in order to make chow mein more delicious. For example, if you steam noodles, there are two aspects to this. One is that noodles tend to stick together. If you put too much on the dressing, it will affect the texture again. One is that noodles don't taste easy to taste. After the noodles are steamed, they are just stir-fried in the pot quickly, and the flavor of the spices in the pot is difficult to taste inside. If you pick up a thicker noodle and try it, you will find that there is no taste in it. ”

"I'll taste it." Zheng Fei sandwiched another thick noodle and sent it to his mouth to taste. "Well, that's true."

Grandpa Zheng said with a smile: "So, your pot of fried noodles is actually the best to the point where it can be fried, and there are still many aspects that need to be improved if you want to achieve the wonderful realm of color, flavor, and flavor." Cooking is a profound art, and the simpler the dish, the more it tests the real kung fu, even making noodles. When the noodles are cooked, they are very simple, as long as they are boiled in boiling water, then they can be scooped up and eaten. But how to eat it tastes is a question asked by the university. ”

Wang Xiao felt extremely embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the pasta he was good at was only cooked at the level.

Zheng Fei saw that Wang Xiao was ashamed, so he said: "But Wang Xiao's fried dishes are really delicious!" ”

Grandpa Zheng nodded and smiled: "Well, I know you are very picky when you eat vegetables." Since you said that Wang Xiao's fried dishes are delicious, then his fried dishes must be delicious. But in cooking, there is a distinction between white cases and red cases. People who are good at red cases may not be able to do a good job in white cases, and people who are good at white cases may not be able to do a good job in red cases. It's like fried noodles, it's a white case. ”

Zheng Fei then understood, and said with a smile: "He hasn't made me pasta, so he hasn't grown much!" ”

Wang Xiao was relieved in his heart, and humbly asked: "Then how to make fried noodles tasteful?" ”

"There's a way you can try it. Fried noodles! ”

"Fried noodles?"

"Yes. After the noodles are ready, boil them in the pot until they are ripe, then put them in cold water and remove them, then add a little sesame oil and stir well. After the noodles have cooled, put them in a pan and fry them over low heat. You don't need to put too much oil, as long as there is a layer at the bottom. Fry the noodles until golden brown on both sides, and stir-fry them to make it easy to absorb the flavor. ”

"Why?" Zheng Fei asked curiously.

"On the one hand, when you fry the noodles, you will dry the water in the noodles, and when you stir-fry, you will easily absorb the juice and eat the flavor of the sauce. On the other hand, when frying noodles, there will be some pores in the noodles, and these pores also make the noodles easy to taste. The noodles stir-fried in this way are delicious. ”

Grandpa Zheng's explanation made Wang Xiao feel convinced.

Wang Xiao understood what Grandpa Zheng said more deeply, cooking is a broad and profound art. A simple chow mein has so much knowledge, it seems that his level still needs to be improved.

From the perspective of the white case, he is really just at the level of familiarity, not to mention any color and flavor.

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Well, after the noodles are boiled first and then fried, the noodles are already cooked." When it's time to stir-fry, just stir evenly and taste, and it won't stick together. Moreover, it is also easy to control the heat of the stir-fry, so that the bottom dish will not be fried into a paste. Haha, I really benefited a lot today. When I was a child, I always felt worried about when to remove the pot for fried noodles. It's too early to uncover the pot, and the water is not good to drain, and the fried noodles are easy to stick. It's too late to unveil the pot, and the dishes at the bottom are easy to paste, and today I learned a trick. ”…,

Grandpa Zheng nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Well, the more home-cooked the food, the more you can see the real kung fu in the details." There are a lot of things to pay attention to like this. For example, after the noodles are cooked, take them out of the cold water and be sure to mix sesame oil. Sesame oil has a property, that is, it is not sticky when it is cold. After mixing sesame oil, the noodles do not clump together. If you don't mix sesame oil, the noodles will stick together and you can't fry them anymore. The heat of the fried noodles is also very important, if the heat is too large, it will be easy to fry the paste. There are many things to pay attention to in this way. ”

Wang Xiao benefited a lot, and humbly said: "Well, I understand, and I will learn to do well in the future." ”

Zheng Fei's parents were busy working outside and did not return home for dinner at noon, and they would not come home until evening.

At noon, only Wang Xiao, Zheng Fei and Grandpa Zheng were eaten.

At the dinner table, Wang Xiao once again appreciated Grandpa Zheng's rich culinary knowledge. Not only can I pay attention to the cooking of meals, but even the nutritional matching of meals is also one set after another, and I know a lot more.

Wang Xiao asked himself that he also had some research in cooking, but compared to Grandpa Zheng, he was still a small deal.

The art of cooking is profound and profound, and many of the tricks cannot be learned from books or from a teacher at a chef's school. It is necessary to constantly explore and try to learn from practice in order to become more and more proficient.

Different chefs will have different skills, and that is to innovate on the basis of continuous learning.

Even if the cow breaks like a king's smile, it can't be achieved overnight.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiao accompanied Grandpa Zheng to play chess.

This is a very patient job, because Grandpa Zheng is very slow to play chess, and he thinks about it for a long time when he takes a step. In addition, Grandpa Zheng rarely plays chess, and his thinking of playing chess is not very active. Because he lives in a villa, he usually goes out very well, and there is nowhere to go. It can only be enjoyed in the villa for one person's entertainment, such as flower viewing, fishing, tai chi, etc. As for activities like playing chess, it's a rare luxury.

This is different from Wang Xiao's hometown.

Everyone in the neighborhood in the countryside knows each other, and they will chat together, play cards, mahjong, and so on. Even if you are an elderly person who lives alone, you will not have nothing to do, and you can find someone to chat and entertain with.

But it's different in the city, you don't know each other on the other side, and it's a luxury to go around.

There will also be leisure squares in the city, where some elderly people will have fun, but after all, it is not as hot as the countryside.

Therefore, the elderly in the countryside will be very uncomfortable when they enter the city, and those days are no different from prison.

This is due to the difference in living habits.

The people in the city are too lonely because they are too indifferent to each other. Fast flow, unfamiliar, distrustful, not hot.

And an old man of Grandpa Zheng's level doesn't even have a neighborhood, let alone communicate with the neighborhood.

Therefore, Grandpa Zheng is very lonely and lonely.

Wang Xiao accompanied him to play chess, which was very enjoyable for him.

This situation really made Wang Xiao sigh with emotion. And he is a very compassionate person, so he is very patient to accompany Grandpa Zheng to play chess, and occasionally he will deliberately let Grandpa Zheng let Grandpa Zheng win him a game or two. Otherwise, with his shrewd mind, it would be impossible for Grandpa Zheng to win against Grandpa Zheng's unfamiliarity with not playing chess for a long time.

Whenever Grandpa Zheng won, a childlike happy smile would appear on his face, which made Wang Xiao feel extremely relieved after seeing it. He didn't let the chess go in vain, which brought happiness to Grandpa Zheng. And making Grandpa Zheng feel happy is exactly the purpose of his playing chess with Grandpa Zheng. As for winning or losing, that's not the goal, and he doesn't care.

Zheng Fei saw that Wang Xiao was so happy with Grandpa Zheng, and her love for Wang Xiao became even stronger.

Moreover, she also realized that Wang Xiao and her family's family environment are different.

Like when she went to Wang Xiao's house, many relatives and neighbors would join in the excitement to see the rarity, and she always had someone to talk with her. But when Wang Xiao came to her house, he could only play chess with the old man patiently.

Seeing her grandfather's loneliness, she realized more and more that the countryside has its lovely side, no wonder Wang Xiao often misses his hometown, it sounds like a paradise, it is a very deep attachment!

As time passed, it was getting late and late, and Zheng Fei's parents were going home.

Wang Xiao became more and more nervous in his heart, not as easy as facing Grandpa Zheng.
