For the 'look at the cards', the old Guo family has a very long 'glorious history', this history can be mentioned to the thirty-four years of the last century, Guo's mother's family can be described as a 'famous family', Guo's mother is very favored at home, and the aspect of natural play is all fine.

At the end of the forties of the last century, the People's Liberation Army swept through China, Guo's mother's family background has been 'hidden', so naturally she has to pretend to be a very stupid woman, when others ask her origins, she will only answer, "It's been a long time since the war, I can't remember where my hometown is, I can't read a single big character, and I can't find where my hometown is." ”

Guo's mother's appearance is relatively ordinary, it belongs to the one that is placed in the pile of people, and it is difficult to find, although Guo's father transferred to a local place and became a revolutionary cadre, but she has always been a person with her tail between her legs, and she does not dare to reveal a little information about her hometown.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people became the masters of the house, and 'watching cards' became an entertainment activity for the city's commuter crowd.

The turbulent period began, and the Guo family was decentralized, and the days when they couldn't eat enough, how could they have the opportunity to play cards, and if they didn't play, they wouldn't play for more than ten years.

The period of turmoil is finally over, and the society has ushered in a thriving scene, the elderly Guo's father is often sick, and Guo's mother's only hobby, that is, 'look at the small cards', to dispel the troubled mood.

The traditional Chinese characteristics of 'small cards', similar to playing cards, and mahjong are similar to the way they play, as long as they pick up these cards, Guo's mother will forget everything, and will forget her dead wife.

After Guo Kaiqing took over his mother's cooking, he could stir-fry new dishes every day, as 'boiled beef' and 'casual cakes', after they were put on the table. Everyone was dumbfounded, Guo Kaiqing is now a cadre, and he didn't know what he did, and he thought that he joined the army as a 'gang leader army', and the dishes he made were not only exquisite, but also fragrant and delicious.

"Mom, sister-in-law, you two try my casual cakes." Guo Kaiqing also respects his sister-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law who married into the Guo family at the age of nineteen has taken good care of several uncles for many years, and everyone still misses her 'good'.

"Mom, you said that the fifth child made this cake. Is it like the 'bag' that my second uncle brought us? ”

"It's a bit like it, but it doesn't taste the same. This bread is much smaller than the sac. ”

"You're right. I just made it after that thing, we went to the front line to fight, sometimes the army didn't dare to open the cooking in a hurry, take this, put it for ten and a half days and a month, it won't be bad. It's a hassle-free. ”

Nephew 'Guo Xiaoer', big name Xiaofeng, he is not interested in this 'leisure cake', "Fifth uncle." What is this, blind Blink, I eat bread and only sugar. ”

"Okay, I'll give you oil and sugar cakes next time."

"Oil Zila Sugar Cake" is a specialty of the Guo family, which is the 'private dish' of the Guo mother's family.

"Oil Zila Sugar Cake", the raw materials are exquisite, Guo's mother does not want the neighbors to guess their own identity, so they have made improvements on the cake, only take the "plate oil" fat boiled out of the most "oil Zila", "roll it with a rolling pin, add brown sugar, use a good powder and noodles, wait for it to wake up, before making the cake, the oil used in the pancake is the best soybean oil, so that the baked cake is very delicious, each cake with a new oil, so the value of this cake is considerable, the cost is expensive, not to mention, at that time it was rarely given to the children, the third generation of the Guo family, When they grow so big, they have only eaten a few times, and they will only make it for them when their grandmother is happy, and most of the daughters-in-law can't, let alone study, and they haven't even eaten it.

Today, I heard Guo Kaiqing say that he would also make "oil zila sugar cakes", and his nephews were so happy that they were urging him to hurry up.

"Don't listen to your fifth uncle's nonsense, grandma didn't teach him, he didn't even burn the fire for grandma when he was a child, where would he make any cakes." Guo's mother found out what happened to Guo Kaiqing when he was a child, and it is true, Guo Kaiqing would rather be beaten, he would not do these jobs that only 'mother-in-law' can do, he eats 'ready-made' when he is young, I didn't expect that now, he will also fry so many dishes, Guo's mother was very surprised.

"Mom, you are too underestimated, although I have not been branded, I have learned, but I can eat, I have been growing up, I have eaten a few cakes baked by your old man, I know the way, I will eat, I will naturally burn, I don't believe that I will brand it to you tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Guo Kaiqing bought 20 yuan of 'plate oil' pork, after boiling the oil, the remaining 'oil zila' was less than a big bowl, and Guo's mother was watching the whole process of boiling oil, but she didn't say a word.

"Mom, I'm okay, there's absolutely no waste." Boiling oil is a time job, no matter what Guo Kaiqing did in the past, he was in a hurry, but today not only is he not in a hurry, but he also does not forget to add salt to the 'meat oil'.

"I'll see how you get along with this side in a moment."

Unlike Guo's mother and noodles, today Guo Kaiqing added a little more 'seasoning' to the flour, Guo's mother didn't see what he put it in, Guo Kaiqing put it very mysteriously, and put the small white plastic bag back in his trouser pocket.

"What are you going to show your mom and me?"

"It's nothing, it's a secret, after you've eaten the cake, see if I'm done?" Guo Kaiqing didn't give the 'ingredients' to his mother, but after he reconciled the flour, he rolled out the 'oil zila'. ’

After everything was prepared, they waited for the one to get off work, and when they came back from school, the mother and son watched TV again, and when the sister-in-law came back, Guo Kaiqing 'started'.

Eat with the cake, there is also a pot of good 'big bone broth', this is also Guo Kaiqing bought fresh pig bones in the morning, stewed for a long time, the most after seeing the sister-in-law they came back, and also put the sauerkraut in, this sauerkraut is not the same as the winter, this is 'quick', but also Guo's mother's new invention, this old man who doesn't eat sauerkraut, but the degree of understanding of sauerkraut is very deep, she knows how long it takes to be sour, and it is 'fast sour'.

The speed of Guo Kaiqing's pancakes was very fast, and after a while, the aroma of 'oil zila sugar cakes' came from the kitchen, and several nephews were waiting at the dinner table, they were looking forward to the arrival of the 'big sugar cakes' soon.

"Mom, it's almost there, you guys eat first." Guo Kaiqing served a bowl of 'big bone soup' to everyone, and put a few refreshing side dishes salted by Guo Mu.

"Wait for you to eat together, we are not hungry." The sister-in-law of the Guo family has been very happy recently, first Guo's mother came to the house to help clean and cook, and then Guo Kaiqing came to take over, and now her home has been cleaned spotlessly, and the sheets and bedspreads are newly washed every week.

"You eat it first, this oil zila sugar cake will not taste good when it is cold, you can eat it while it is hot."

When the family ate Guo Kaiqing's 'oil zila sugar cake', everyone had a happy expression on their faces, Guo's mother rarely eats meat now, and today she also ate one with a beautiful face.

"Fifth uncle, your cake is so delicious, how did you make it, you can also teach my mother, let her make it for us in the future." The niece is a little girl with a 'mouth', and her praise represents Guo Kaiqing's cooking skills, which have surpassed their mother, Sister-in-law Guo.

"Mom, this little five is really out of business, not only has he become a big officer, but he is also good at the work in the kitchen." The sister-in-law of the Guo family only increased her salary today, and she has this big cake to eat, so she is naturally sweet.

"Well, it's better than me, and he seems to have added something here."

"Yes, Xiao Wu, you are coming from the truth, what did you put in this cake?"

"It's nothing, it's just arsenic." After baking the last cake, Guo Kaiqing walked to the dining table, he took out a small white plastic bag from his trouser pocket and put it in front of the Guo family's sister-in-law.

"What is this, it's really white." didn't know what it was, and the sister-in-law of the Guo family showed the bag to Guo's mother again.

"Who knows what the road is, anyway, you can't eat the dead." Guo's mother didn't recognize what it was.

"It's called 'baking soda', and our troops use it to knead steamed buns, and I searched for a long time in the market before I bought it, and it's okay, I don't add too much, or it will get bigger."

"What is it for? I see. The sister-in-law of the Guo family suddenly realized that the Guo family has always used "noodle starters" to make pasta, and this "baking soda" TV also said that it was just not bought and used.

"Ding-dong". Guo Kaiwei's doorbell, in the eighties of the last century, is very popular, if any family is uneasy about such a one, it means that his home is not very fashionable, Guo Kaiwei has been working in the capital for many days, familiar people know that he is not at home, and there are few guests to come, who will be today, Guo's sister-in-law is also very puzzled.

"Who?" Through the 'cat's eye', the sister-in-law of the Guo family saw a man and a woman, and they didn't know each other.

"It's my sister-in-law, my name is Liu Chao, is Guo's mother at home?"

"Oh, it's Chaozi, open the door."

After the guests entered the house, Guo Kaiqing was angry, it turned out that the woman was the one who hit her neck with a mud ball, because her mother and sister-in-law were around, otherwise she would have to reason with her. (To be continued......)
