Chapter 74: The atmosphere is weird
Put lard, stir-fry ginger slices and wild shallots, and then put the eel slices and start stir-frying with a bamboo spatula, because it is not an iron pot, so the temperature drops too quickly after the eel slices go down, resulting in a stir-fry that becomes a stir-fry, but at the moment this condition is only about to be.
As the eel slices in the clay pot began to change color and curl, Chen Xu put in a small handful of young stems of dogwood, dogwood is Chen Jiang's heard that Chen Xu wanted to eat spicy, and specially went to the mountains to find it, this era has begun to use dogwood to spice, but it seems that people usually don't like to eat spicy.
And after Chen Xu ate it twice, he found that the spicy dogwood was not authentic, it was a bit like spicy Chinese medicine, a little choking, if it was too old, it still had a trace of bitterness, but it would definitely not work without spicy seasonings for the eel section, because there was no soy sauce cooking wine to deal with the fishy smell of the eel at the moment.
Soon a slightly choking spicy taste came out, then put a few crushed wild garlic heads, stir-fry a few times again, pour in a little water, cover the pot and simmer for a while, and get out of the pot.
"Hiss~ so fragrant!" The moment the lid of the pot was opened, a stream of hot air rose into the air, and Yu Wuya was completely conquered by the rich fragrance in an instant, and excitedly reached out to grab the bowl that served the dishes and said, "I'll serve the dishes, I'll serve the dishes!" ”。
The moment Yu Wuya put the bowl on the table, he quickly picked up a piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Uncle Yu is stealing food again!" Apricot immediately shouted.
"Hey, hey, sister eats a piece too!" Yu Wuya grabbed a piece and fed it to Xing'er's mouth, so two foodies, one big and one small, gathered around the table to study this new dish.
No one watched the fire, Chen Xu smiled bitterly and went to put firewood by himself, and then wiped his hands on his dirty clothes a few times and began to make sweet and sour fish.
If you don't eat cleanly, you won't get sick, it's the Qin Dynasty now, everything is natural green and pollution-free, and you can't find any toxic chemical pollutants in the soil, so Chen Xu doesn't pay much attention to it on weekdays, not to mention that cooking has to be steamed at high temperatures, and all germs are killed.
But his movements fell into the eyes of the woman in black, and her eyes showed even more indifference.
Soon ten minutes passed, Chen Xu lifted the lid of the pot, and a rich and sweet fish fragrance emanated, permeating a radius of dozens of meters, Yu Wuya had already stood next to him with a big pottery bowl with a smile on his face and waited for a long time.
"Ready to eat!" Chen Xu put the fish out of the pot, and then shouted hello, and Chen Jiang quickly came out of the room with the dishes and chopsticks.
Five people sat around a rough wooden table with four dishes on it.
Sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, hot eel slices, cold salad with folded ear root.
These dishes were placed in the Qin Dynasty, and even the wealthy families would not be able to eat them very often.
Meat was a luxury in those days, especially fish.
Although it seems that Chen Xu's family eats fish almost every day, but for people elsewhere, it is not easy to eat a fish, because fish live in water, it is very difficult to catch, before Chen Xu crossed over, it is usually difficult for the villagers of Xiaohe Village to get a fish, when he fell from a tree, Chen Jiang went to the river to fish, and he didn't get anything for an hour, and he was bitten by a snake.
Mencius once said: Fish, I want, bear paws also I want, the two can not have both, give up the fish and take the bear's paw.
This is the reason why you can't have both fish and bear's paws.
In the eyes of the ancients, fish was the same level as the bear's paw.
Although there are choices and trade-offs, but it is still full of entanglements, and finally although I reluctantly chose the bear's paw, it does not mean that the value of the fish is lower than the bear's paw, it can only be said that the two choose one or the other, there must be a trade-off, which is an incomprehensible distress, full of regret and helplessness.
And China also has an ancient Chinese character: Xian, from the structure of this character can be seen, the ancients believed that there are only two kinds of delicious things, that is, fish and mutton, which can also be seen that the status of fish in ancient food, that is very high.
"Well, it's delicious, it's fragrant, spicy and fragrant......"
Yu Wuya is like a wild boar that eats over, burying his head in a bowl and eating wildly.
Apricot is also like a little pig burying his face in the rice bowl and eating it in a hurry.
"Mother, eat!" Chen Xu also picked up the rice bowl and pulled it up, harvesting wheat all day, and he was already hungry with his chest against his back.
"Water girl, you eat too!" Chen Jiang picked up the dishes and chopsticks and beckoned the water gently.
"Senior sister, eat quickly, the dishes made by Engong are really delicious in the world, you will regret it if you don't eat it!" Yu Wuya only then remembered that he had brought a junior sister, raised his head and smiled, and gently pinched a chopstick to the water.
Shui gently stared at a few curly eel slices, not knowing whether he was hungry or attracted by the smell of vegetables, and hesitated for a long time to remove the face towel.
Chen Xu has always been very curious about what this woman who looks at him like a piece of shit looks like, at this time the face towel was removed, and when he saw a face revealed with his peripheral vision, his face was instantly sluggish, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the table with a click.
He was almost sixteen or seventeen years old as he guessed, but his cheeks were as white and delicate as mutton fat, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a nose and a cherry mouth, delicate facial features and smooth skin, which could be called the best in the world.
It can be said that Chen Xu is so big, and he has never seen such a beautiful woman up close.
Of course, those modified by Meitu software in later generations do not count.
"Hehe, Engong, my senior sister is still eye-catching!" Yu Wuya raised his head and laughed dryly.
Chen Xu came back to his senses and picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, and his mood instantly became a little absent-minded.
This woman's name and appearance really match well.
No wonder you have to cover your face all day long, this face definitely belongs to the style of killing thousands of men in seconds, and it is easy to cause a wide range of male hormones to get out of control when you go out, and you will be robbed and ruined by bandits if you are not careful.
Shui gently and coldly glared at Yu Wuya, then picked up a piece of eel and hesitantly put it in his mouth, after taking a light bite, his delicate body shook slightly, and then lowered his head and began to eat in small bites.
"Wow, Sister Shui is so beautiful, she is as beautiful as the Seven Fairies!" Apricot was also stunned by the gentle appearance of the water that took off the face towel.
Chen Jiang looked at his son, then at the water gently, and then gently sandwiched a large piece of sweet and sour fish and a few braised pork ribs to the water, and smiled extremely gently.
The atmosphere at the table was quirky.
The meal was eaten silently in the constant sandwiching of each other's dishes.
All the dishes were eaten, and even a large bowl of cold salad was eaten cleanly.
And after eating, Shui looked at Chen Xu softly, and his eyes became a lot flater, obviously Chen Xu's image in her mind has increased not less, no longer a piece of shit, but a piece of stinky mud, although it stinks, but can still barely take a few looks.
