Chapter 547
Although Grandpa Liao doesn't have such a far-sighted vision, after all, he has more life experiences, so he naturally thinks more, and he is very confident in his own recipes, otherwise Grandpa would not be the person in charge of the mansions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Republic of China. And this recipe is a summary of my grandfather's lifelong experience in cooking, and I can't be a cook anymore, so I have to write it down, leaving it to future generations as a thought, maybe there will be a day when I see the light of day.
Grandpa Liao didn't want his sons to end up fighting for money.
The other three families worked hard in the city, and although their lives were not as tight as those of Jinkai, they were not very rich. If Jinkai can really rely on his cooking skills to break out of the sky for a day, he does not seek to be rich and expensive, but only to live in peace, and it is good to go to the hole as soon as possible. Although the old couple is capable, after all, the years are unforgiving, and they can still help Jinkai for a few years?
Grandpa Liao mentioned housework, it was also a bitter tear! He wiped the corners of his sour eyes, thinking that he owed Jinkai too much back then, and he suffered this child. Half of the army's salaries and allowances were given to the family, which was exchanged for their lives, and not all of them were subsidized to the other three families. When Jinkai dragged a wounded leg and returned from his job, it was good that they were all hiding far away now, for fear of getting involved with them. It's chilling to see the old man! Conscience let the dog eat. When they are old, their wings are stiff and they all fly, and no one cares about them. The old man has been strong for a lifetime, and he has become a leather ball, and he is kicked around.
Divide the family as soon as possible, and the future of the province will be troublesome. After all, it is wealth that moves people's hearts, and it is best to prevent problems before they happen.
After Grandpa Liao thought about it here, Liao Jinkai didn't have so many thoughts. He held the recipe and read it, but this time he was dumbfounded, it was all traditional characters. He turned out to be illiterate in big characters, but he still entered a literacy class in the army and took off the hat of illiteracy. Now there is no big problem with reading books and newspapers, but when I encounter cold words, it still doesn't work. Don't talk about this heavenly book.
"Xiaohui...... Xiaohui, if you have time, come and read it to Abba. Liao Jinkai beckoned his son over.
Xiaohui sat next to Liao Jinkai on a small bench, with a tungsten light bulb above his head. Radiates a yellowish glow.
Liao Jinkai handed over the recipe. "What's the matter, son, I don't recognize this traditional Chinese character."
Xiaohui scratched his head, "Abba." This is recognizable even to those who have guessed. You wait for me to get the dictionary. He ran to the bedroom. I ran over with the new Gaga Modern Chinese Dictionary.
"Yikes! When did you buy a dictionary? Liao Jinkai asked curiously. It is thicker and larger than the Xinhua dictionary. ”
"I didn't buy it, I sent it from the school." Xiaohui carefully placed it on the small table. "And an English-Chinese dictionary."
"The high school in the city is just good. Also send this book. Liao Jinkai said with a smile.
"It wasn't sent to me by high school, it was given to me by the homeroom teacher of junior high school." Xiaohui said. "Let me study hard and try to go to college like my sister." Xiaohui and his sister won glory for their junior high school and were the key training objects.
"Thank you so much, homeroom teacher." Liao Jinkai suddenly thought, "This book has a lot of money, and your teacher has so much money." "Teachers' salaries are not high, especially local ones.
"A gift from a well-wisher." Xiaohui said with a smile.
"You have to study hard, and you can't live up to people's hearts." Liao Jinkai rubbed his little flat head, which was a little prickly.
"Hmm!" Xiaohui nodded, "Abba, don't worry, during the holidays, I will earn money to earn tuition." ”
"You stupid child, studying is important, your tuition, Abba will make a few more bamboo baskets." Liao Jinkai's eyes were sour.
"Abba!" Xiaohui sighed and shouted, doesn't he know the situation at home! "Don't worry, I won't fall behind in my homework."
"You ......" Liao Jinkai wanted to say something, but Xiaohui changed the topic and said, "Abba, you don't read the recipe anymore." ”
The two of them looked up the dictionary again, and wrote simplified characters, chattering busily, and finally read a few pages after tossing for a long time, Xiaohui looked at how delicious the final narrative was, and his saliva almost didn't come out.
"Abba! You can do that. Xiaohui swallowed his saliva and looked at the ingredients written on it, which was heartwarming.
Liao Jinkai thought about it, rehearsed it in his heart, and said, "It should be able to make it, anyway, these ingredients can be found in our village, get up early tomorrow, I'll try it." ”
"Hey!" Xiaohui said happily. "Tomorrow I'll get up early and go to the field to pick." The father and son continued to translate traditional Chinese characters into simplified Chinese characters, and when they encountered ingredients they didn't know, or there were discrepancies in the names and names, they asked Grandpa Liao. The hearts of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are twisted into a rope, and they may be able to make things happen. This life has a head and a heart.
The next morning, it was just dawn, and at four o'clock, Xiaohui got up and went out with a bamboo basket. He recognized the ingredients very clearly last night and went straight to his destination.
The old couple of the Liao family also got up, and took advantage of the fact that the weather was not too hot, and went to the field with a hoe.
When Xiaohui returned, the vegetables he picked were still hanging with the morning dew, and he still carried a bundle of firewood on his back.
Liao Jinkai got up and saw his son coming back in the morning sun, "You kid, you are so impatient!" ”
"Hehe...... "Xiaohui unloaded the firewood and handed the picked vegetables to Liao Jinkai.
"You wait, let me wash up first." Liao Jinkai decided to make a dish last night, so he put the recipe away, urged Grandpa Liao and Xiaohui to go to bed quickly, and took advantage of the moonlight to finish compiling the hat in his hand. It's in a good mood! He started his work quickly, and it was almost the middle of the night before he went to rest.
Grandpa Liao came back with a hoe and saw that his son was busy cooking.
"Stir-fried vegetables - simple and easy, don't underestimate it, it is the most test of the chef's skills." Grandpa Liao knew this very well, and he continued, "When I was a child, I heard your grandfather talk about going to a certain restaurant to taste the "two green vegetables and one soup" there. The "two green vegetables and one bite soup" refers to the soup that is served at the first table and the plate of fried vegetables that is served at the end. In fact, one of the chef's most skillful dishes is to see how well he stir-fried the simplest green dish. This is probably like writing calligraphy, and the most difficult calligraphy to write is the words with few strokes. If you go to a luxury restaurant, you may be able to eat high-end deliciousness, but that is because the ingredients of high-end dishes already have delicious capital. If you order a stir-fried vegetable in a restaurant, you can really see the level of the chef in the restaurant. ”
"Xiaohui increased the fire." Liao Jinkai said in a deep voice.
"Hey! Okay! Xiaohui pulled the bellows and whirred.
Liao Jinkai always remembers that several key points of stir-frying vegetables, the fire should be big, the oil should be hot, and the action should be fast, and the fried vegetables will be delicious and delicious.
Soon a plate of delicious and nutritious greens, green, tender, fragrant and beneficial...... The stir-fried greens were served. The color is so slanderous, it seems to taste delicious!
Liao Jinkai wiped the sweat from his face, "How is it!" Abba, Xiaohui, how does it taste. He asked anxiously.
"Oh, try it yourself!" Grandpa Liao handed him a pair of chopsticks. "No yellowing."
"Hmmm! It's delicious, not old, crisp and delicious, and it's better than grandma and grandma's fried food. Xiaohui commented pertinently.
Liao Jinkai picked up the greens, put them in his mouth, and chewed slowly, "Hmm! It still needs to be strengthened, and it does not reach the level described in the grandfather's book. ”
"With your grandfather, fifty percent of his skills, it would be better to feed it with broth or chicken broth!" Grandpa Liao suggested. "But it's the first time I've done this, and I'm confident that you'll be able to do this." He patted Liao Jinkai on the shoulder and said.
"The greens are still freshly picked, and they are the freshest. The leaves are green and wrinkle-free, and the leaf body is elastic. Liao Jinkai said.
"Of course, eating green vegetables, in the season is very particular, the winter wind together, the night is cold, the water vapor condenses and frosts, the frosted greens are more sweet, and it is particularly easy to burn crispy, so there is a saying that frosted vegetables are a treasure. Frost refers to a thin frost, if it is frozen, the greens are dehydrated, and they cannot be eaten. Even in other seasons, when there is no frost, the vegetables picked before the sun rises, when the dew has not faded, are delicious, especially in summer, when they are exposed to the scorching sun, and the best vegetables will wilt. Grandpa Liao said, you don't need to read books, you can know it in common sense.
"Abba, I'll eat well and work hard." Liao Jinkai feels that this confidence has doubled!
After breakfast, Xiaohui took pickles and steamed buns, pedaled a bicycle for an hour to get to school, he lived in the school, and the school had two days off a week, so that the boarding students could go home and see.
At noon, the other sisters of the Liao family rushed back on motorcycles and tricycles, thinking that the old man had something to do, so they said they didn't want to do it on the spot in order to break the recipe, and they signed and signed one after another.
As for why it went so well, the main reason was that in addition to this recipe, the old man also had some gold and silver valuable things in his hand. Back then, my grandfather made a spoon for dignitaries, and he was always rewarded. Even in the turbulent years, the old man hid it very well and didn't let people find it.
So each family has three small yellow croaker, which is impartial, but Liao Jinkai has one more recipe. The other three have been blinded by the three little yellow croakers given by the old man. As for some Yuan Datou, the old man didn't score, and he waited until the old man passed. The people present are meaningless, and the silver dollar is worthless compared to the small yellow croaker.
Gold bars, and the folk have the nickname of "little yellow croaker". Throughout the ages, as a form of value preservation and appreciation, the folk have the tradition of collecting "small yellow croaker". Thousands of years of ancient history, during the change of dynasties and social turmoil, gold was accepted by all classes as a special currency for value preservation. People who have a little money will have two or three "small yellow croaker" at home in case of emergency. The long years of war have taught the elders that gold is likely to save a family's life at a critical moment. In the past, large families had the tradition of buying gold bars at the end of the year to press the bottom of the box, symbolizing family prosperity and praying for good fortune.
