Chapter 39: Hot Pot

The two went straight to the second-hand market, since the last time Jian Tong discovered this treasure place, they fell in love, not to mention the freshness of the things here, and they were cheap.

Thinking that this is the prototype of the future bazaar, the two bought a lot of things, Jian Tong also bought a small stove with a small pot, and bought some carbon, this is the hot pot.

Then I went to buy meat and bought some pork, barrel bones and water, which cost less than two dollars in total.

Seeing that a lot of side dishes and tofu on the stall on the side were very fresh, Jian Tong also bought some shabu-shabu.

I have to say that the things here are really cheap, and I bought so much, not more than five yuan in total.

Looking at this pile of food, Jian Tong found a stall to buy and weave baskets, she picked two, and asked the stall owner to help her fix them on both sides of the bicycle, so that there was still a surplus of food in it.

The two returned with a full load, and Jian Tong sat on the back seat of the bicycle.

She smiled and said to Chu Yanshen: "You can strengthen these two frames when the time comes, and we can also use alcohol." ”

"Hmm."

Chu Yanshen agreed indiscriminately, and at this time all his attention was on Jian Tong's hand pulling his clothes.

At this time, the weather was very hot, and Chu Yanshen was wearing a thin undershirt on his upper body, and Jian Tong's hand holding his clothes always touched his waist as if there was nothing.

For some reason, he felt a little shy and nervous in his heart.

At this time, passing by a small stone, Jian Tong was turned upside down, and subconsciously grabbed the waist of the person in front of him.

Chu Yanshen's face was completely red......

After arriving home, Jian Tong first began to process the pork ribs and water, preparing to cook a pork rib soup base.

Grandpa Jane also came to help, this room was not lived in in the first place, so there was no kitchen.

Grandpa Jane built a simple kitchen out of stones when the two of them went out, and now it just happens to be used to cook soup base.

After Jian Tong processed the pork ribs and pork belly, he put ginger slices in the pot under cold water, and put a green onion knot in it to cook together.

With that done, she began to deal with the dishes to be scalded.

Today, all they can do is tofu and some side dishes.

She thought about it for a while, she still had to prepare some slices of meat, so she washed the pork and slice the meat as thinly as possible.

At this time, the old man who had come to ask for directions last time walked by their door.

With a fishing rod and basket in his hand, it looks like he has caught a fish.

Jian Tong greeted with a smile: "Hello uncle." ”

The old man was a little surprised to see her living here, and asked the reason to find out that Xiaoshun had sold the factory to them.

Jian Tong asked again: "Uncle, how was your harvest today?" ”

"Hey, you've caught a lot of fish, look at it."

After speaking, he showed Jian Tong the fish in the fish basket as if offering a treasure.

Jian Tong looked inside, it was really good, not to mention the small fish, there were four or five big fish.

Jian Tong smiled and said, "Uncle, you are so powerful, how are you going to eat so many fish?" ”

Speaking of this, the old man was a little distressed and said: "Hey, I'm a lonely person, I can't finish eating every time, so I can only dry the fish." ”

Jian Tong hurriedly asked, "Uncle, can you sell me some of this fish?" ”

The uncle was a little surprised when he heard it: "What do you want to buy fish for?" These fish aren't tasty. ”

In these years, people still don't know how to cook fish, especially small fish, and everyone is reluctant to put oil and there is no recipe for cooking fish.

Generally, there is nothing else to cook except for boiling it, at most, some people put some soy sauce and burn it, even if it is the best.

But the fish is fishy, and there are many bones, and it is generally eaten only by poor people.

Uncle saw that they could spend money to buy this place, it must be a good condition at home, and at this time, the fragrance from time to time in the kitchen made the uncle smell it at once, it was the smell of meat.

Jian Tong smiled and said, "Uncle, you can sell it to me, I have a way to make this fish delicious." ”

"Really?"

Uncle was a little surprised.

At this time, Grandpa Jian happened to come out to pour water, and when he heard the chat between the two, he couldn't help but say: "Brother, my granddaughter is right, she has good skills, you can also come to eat today, just have a good taste." ”

The old man was a little embarrassed, he was a lonely old man, no one welcomed them to visit the door, he knew that the other party was polite.

He pursed his lips and said, "I won't go, my family is ready, you can eat." ”

After speaking, he said: "I put the fish here, even the fish in the river is not worth much, you can return the fish basket to me later." ”

After speaking, regardless of the dissuasion of a few people, he quickly ran home.

Jian Tong was amused in his heart, he was really a twisted old man.

Jian Tong poured all the fish in the basket into the basin, then picked the largest fish, slice it into thin slices, and waited for the shabu-shabu fillet to eat.

Deal with some small fish, pour oil into the pot, fry the small fish on both sides until golden, and then put some chili peppers and shallots to start the pot, and the aroma is overflowing.

After doing this, Chu Yanshen began to prepare dishes and chopsticks to eat.

Jian Tong took a big bowl, put a bowl of pork ribs and pork belly to Chu Yanshen and said, "You take this, and then go and serve a bowl of rice and fish basket to the uncle not far away." ”

Chu Yanshen nodded, didn't ask anything, took the things and left.

It wasn't long before he returned, and when he went to deliver something, the old man looked very excited and kept refusing.

Chu Yanshen also saw that the old man's condition was very poor.

He couldn't help but glance at Jian Tong more, and he didn't quite understand Jian Tong's intention to befriend this old man.

These days, the fish are wild, they can be hunted everywhere, and they are not worth anything at all.

But the meat is different, and Jian Tong also sent a big bowl, which far exceeds the value of the fish.

However, although Chu Yanshen had doubts, he immediately put these doubts behind him.

He knew that there must be a reason why Jian Tong did such a thing.

At this time, Jian Tong had already burned the fire in the small stove, and also made delicious dipping sauces.

After Chu Yanshen came back, she opened the pot and began to put vegetables in it.

Chu Yanshen glanced at the dipping sauce and an empty bowl in front of him, and didn't know where to start.

Grandpa Jian couldn't help but ask, "Tongtong, this hot pot is different from what we've seen before, how can you eat it?" ”

In their village, they used to eat hot pot a bit like a hodgepodge, where everything was boiled together and then eaten from the pot.

Jian Tong didn't speak, just picked up a slice of pork, then put it in the pot and cooked it, then took it out, put it in the dipping sauce, and then sandwiched it into an empty bowl and ate it slowly.

The whole set was done in one go, and the two of them also learned from her to eat like this.

Grandpa Jian couldn't help but sigh when he ate it: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, Tongtong, how is this done?" ”

Jian Tong smiled and said, "The other things are not coincidental, only I put a little thought into this dipping sauce." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Sesame oil, light soy sauce, vinegar, chopped peanuts and onions, garlic and coriander, chop into minced pieces and mix well, and finally put some fermented bean curd and it's done."

The two nodded, and Grandpa Jian couldn't help but ask, "Tongtong, how could you think of this way of eating?" ”

Jian Tong's heart tightened, this is the most common way to eat in later generations, and there is no one yet.
