The yellow eel drained the excess water, poured it into the pot and fried until the meat was white, and there was liquor at home, just in case, Wei Lan poured a few drops of liquor into the pot, covered the pot and let the wine evaporate in the pot, and the second time to remove the fish.

The yellow eel simmered in the pot for two minutes, and when the lid was lifted, Wei Lan added a bowl of water, a little salt, and then added soy sauce to adjust the color.

The fire in the dry chamber is vigorous, and there is not much water in the pot, cornstarch is added when the yellow eel is marinated, and the soup gradually thickens after the water is boiled.

Wei Lan poked a chopstick chili sauce and shook it into the soup, pushed it with a spatula and mixed it twice, and simmered for a while before putting it into a big bowl and serving it to the table.

"Grandma, try it?"

The soup is thick and has a different aroma, and the color alone makes people appetizing.

Grandma Gu pursed her lips and waved her hand, "What's the hurry?" After a while, the rice is ready, and the family sits down to eat together. ”

Gu Chaogang took the chopsticks from the cupboard, pinched the chopsticks with his big hand and stretched out the yellow eel in the bowl, and when he heard Grandma Gu's words, he shook his hand and silently took it back.

Seeing this, Wei Lan staggered a step and turned her back to Grandma Gu, blocking Grandma Gu's sight.

She winked at Gu Chao, and then at the sea bowl, the meaning was very obvious.

Gu Chaoxiao was helpless, tilted his head and glanced at Grandma Gu, told Grandma Gu not to come to them, and quickly added a piece of yellow eel meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

The eel has only one main bone spur, which is gently sipped into the mouth, and the flesh and bone spur are separated.

The flesh of the yellow eel is thick and fresh, with a faint spicy smell spreading in the mouth, there is no fishy smell, and it is quite vigorous.

Gu Chao silently spit out the bone spurs, and looked at Wei Lan, his lips moved lightly without making a sound, but Wei Lan saw it clearly.

Gu Chao said: It would be nice if it was a little more spicy.

Usually cold skin or something, each serving can be seasoned separately, she can mix it a little spicy according to Gu Chao's taste, but it is not okay to eat this kind of big pot dish with a family.

Grandma Gu can't eat so spicy, and her stomach will be uncomfortable when she turns around.

At this time, of course, it is necessary to take care of the elderly and children a little more.

Wei Lan rolled her eyes and ignored Gu Chao again.

After brushing the pot, with the lean meat and eggs at home, Wei Lan quickly made a soup of shredded meat with eggs, chickens, and fir fir.

When the soup is also served, the rice simmered in the pot is just "sizzling".

Wei Lan took a bowl of rice, and Grandma Gu stood up with her legs propped up, and went to the front yard with her little feet.

Youlan hadn't come back at this time, and Grandma Gu went out to stand at the door and called Youlan to go home for dinner.

Wei Lan first filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Gu Chao, urging Gu Chao to eat first.

Gu Chao didn't eat early when he went out in the morning, so he didn't twist it at this time, he heroically served the sea bowl of braised yellow eel and poured some soup into the bowl, stirred the chopsticks twice and barely mixed well, and then took two large mouthfuls of rice.

A handsome face and cheeks were bulging, Wei Lan sat opposite and looked at it, laughing at the rice grains on Gu Chao's face, "Slow down, what about such a big bowl!" And no one is robbing you. ”

Gu Chao nodded, slowing down a bit.

Wei Lan's peach blossom eyes fixed on him, her smile was gentle and quiet, "You like to eat, and I will often cook it for you in the future." ”

"Hmm." Gu Chao nodded, took a piece of yellow eel meat and handed it to Wei Lan's mouth, "Grandma used to say that yellow eel was a big supplement, but the smell was too fishy to swallow...... The food you make is delicious, and Grandma must like it too. ”

Wei Lan didn't dare to eat snake meat, but there was no psychological burden on eating yellow eel.

You must know that in later generations, yellow eel is also a first-class fresh on the table, and it costs a lot of money to eat one in restaurants and restaurants.

"It's not difficult, you can do it often." Wei Lan nodded in agreement, tapped her slender fingers on the tabletop, thought for a moment, and asked, "How did you catch yellow eels before?" You can't always use meat as bait and you can't get it. ”

It is acceptable for a family to eat some waste meat skin or meat once in a while, but if it is for more than ten people in the big canteen, it is definitely not cost-effective.

"You can use earthworms, too." Gu Chaodao.

He used to catch yellow eels, and he used to go to the wet paddy fields that had no crops to find holes in the winter, and dig them with shovels.

There are always eight out of ten holes, which is a waste of time and physical strength.

Although the earthworm Gu Chao has never eaten it, the fish eats it, and the yellow eel should also eat it.

Wei Lan's face wrinkled, and the idea of making a few more fish baskets was completely dispelled.

She wasn't much afraid of snakes, but she was afraid of molluscs.

As soon as he saw the green caterpillars and pink twisted earthworms, Wei Lan's scalp was numb, his muscles were tense, and his whole person was not good.

Grandma Gu and You Lan entered the kitchen one after the other, and Wei Lan got up to serve the meal, so that Gu Chao didn't notice her not very good-looking face.

"Thank you, Sister Lan!" You Lan and Grandma Gu sat down at the table, took the rice handed over by Wei Lan, and smiled with a small face.

The little nose shrugged for a while, staring at the oily braised yellow eel in the sea bowl with curious eyes, "Is it snake meat?" ”

Wei Lan sat down on the table with her share of rice, reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "It's a yellow eel."

When the Gu family was at their saddest, Youlan was still young, and vaguely remembered that Grandma Gu had done it, but it didn't taste very good.

Youlan hesitated, and finally couldn't resist the fragrance and got off the chopsticks, and took another piece of it, "It's delicious!" ”

Youlan's appetite followed Grandma Gu, and she couldn't eat too spicy, this faint spicy taste entered the mouth and swallowed the stomach, not to mention the taste, the whole body was warm.

Grandma also ate several pieces.

Everyone at the dinner table showed a satisfied look, Wei Lan felt comfortable, but he didn't ask for praise as usual, he just ate his own silently.

I was worried that if I talked too much, Grandma Gu would be unhappy and refuse to eat at that time.

How do you know that as soon as Wei Lan is silent, Grandma Gu, who knows her temperament very well, is not calm.

Grandma Gu gave Wei Lan a chopstick and vegetable moss, "What's the matter, the rice is mushy?" Why is it so quiet today? ”

The chopsticks and vegetable moss are specially picked for the cabbage head, the most tender and sweetest, all of which Wei Lan loves to eat.

Wei Lan's heart blossomed, but her face was pursed and she deliberately made a look of grievance, "Grandma doesn't like me, she usually thinks I'm making trouble, so I don't talk if I think about it, so as to save Grandma from annoying me." ”

After that, Bei Ya bit his lower lip lightly, the black and bright peach blossom eyes drooped slightly, the slender long eyelashes covered the light, and a layer of shadow fell on the lower eyelids, which was really like a little pity who had suffered some great grievance.

Grandma Gu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly snorted a strange laugh, "There is such a hypocrisy of you at home, it is not enough for my brother to coax you, but also for my wife to coax you?" ”

Although it was a mocking tone, the old withered hand did not hesitate for a moment, and put a piece of meaty yellow eel into Wei Lan's bowl.

"I think you're idle. Eat quickly, wash the dishes when you're done. ”

Grandma Gu took a chopstick dish and ate it by herself, and then didn't look at Wei Lan's puffed up buns and indignant little face.

After the meal, Wei Lan cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Chao sat at the table and talked to Youlan, "Don't run around in the afternoon, dig some earthworms and come back." ”

You Lan turned her head to look at him, wanting to justify that she didn't run crazy, but You Lan still had some awe of Gu Chao, the eldest brother, in her heart, and swallowed back the words to her mouth.

Youlan pursed her small lips, "What are you doing digging earthworms?" ”

Gu Chao glanced at the table full of bone spurs, "Don't want to eat yellow eels anymore?" ”

Youlan instantly understood, licked her lips and nodded excitedly, "I want it, I want to eat!" ”

The salty, fragrant and slightly spicy taste is not too good, and before I finished eating it just now, I began to think about when I would eat it next, but I was afraid that Grandma Gu would scold her for being a gluttonous cat without rules, so I kept it in my heart and didn't say anything.

Now when she heard that she was digging earthworms and catching yellow eels, Youlan was excited, her head nodded out of flowers, and her little hand slapped the table to make a guarantee appearance, "Brother, don't worry, I'll dig a jar of earthworms for you and come back, and I'll go in a while!" I shouted to Fengyao to come with me! ”

While the brother and sister were talking, Wei Lan had already collected the dishes and chopsticks, poured water into the pot, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash the dishes.

Grandma Gu never got off the table, sat in her position and listened to Gu Chao talk for a while, but she didn't see Gu Chao get up to help.

Grandma Gu couldn't help but pat the table, Gu Chao turned his head, and saw Grandma Gu bluffing a face.

Gu Chao paused, "What's the matter, Grandma?" ”

"I didn't think much." Grandma Gu pointed at Wei Lan, her cloudy old eyes narrowed into a slit, and she looked at Gu Chao unhappily, "Are you lame?" Don't know how to help? ”

Gu Chaoyi was really speechless, and without saying a word, he quickly took Wei Lan's place.

He was planning to divide the labor just now, and he was negligent for a while.

Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she walked up to Grandma Gu in two steps and squatted down, "I know that Grandma loves me the most!" ”

Wei Lan was coquettish next to Grandma Gu, and Grandma Gu knocked her head with a tense face, but didn't push her away, "The old woman is afraid that your dishes won't be clean, and when you turn around to eat, you will see dirty things, so I'm just worried that I won't be able to eat." ”

"I don't care, Grandma just loves me!" Wei Lan didn't follow, like a puppy, her fluffy head plunged into Grandma Gu's arms, and she hugged Grandma Gu with both hands.

Grandma Gu endured it, and finally couldn't resist being amused by Wei Lan.

She patted Wei Lan on the back and scolded with a smile: "Impertinent leather girl, go away, rub me down in a while, the old woman will rely on you for the rest of her life." ”

"That's right, I'll support Grandma!" Wei Lan didn't think about it and said directly.

Grandma Gu was slightly stunned for a moment, and after a while, the wrinkles on her face became deeper and deeper, and her smile became even bigger.

Not to be outdone, for fear that Grandma Gu would ignore her, she hurriedly ran over and hugged one of Grandma Gu's arms, as if competing with Wei Lan for favor: "Grandma, and me!" ”

To say that Youlan only learned Wei Lan's cooking skills, then the coquettish kung fu is simply learned ten times ten.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, coaxed Grandma Gu's face to be wrinkled, and her smile never stopped from the beginning.

The family is in the middle of the road, the son and daughter-in-law went early, Grandma Gu is full of regrets in her heart, and now the grandchildren are around her knees, one by one's excellent filial piety, Grandma Gu is very ironed in her heart, and she has returned to her previous appearance of kindness.

Grandma Gu couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Okay, there's one more of you!" ”

Gu Chao stood in front of the stove and was busy, listening to the happy voice behind him, he didn't turn around to join in, but the corners of his lips were raised high, and he always concealed his good mood.

That's nice......

The next morning, the dark clouds dispersed, and a glimmer of morning glow appeared in the east, and by 10 o'clock in the afternoon, half of his face was revealed through the clouds.

Gu Chaogang came back from Beishan and brought back a whole piece of oil, which was estimated to weigh four or five catties.

was discussing with Wei Lan how to divide it, and at the door, Fan Xiao said hello to Grandma Gu and walked towards them, "Are you busy?" ”

Gu Chaochong nodded at Fan Xiao and didn't answer, Wei Lan put the oil into the wooden basin for washing vegetables, and said with a smile: "I'm not busy." What is the wind that is blowing you? ”

Working in the field for more than half a year, even if he covered it for a while in winter, Fan Xiao's complexion was still a lot darker, and compared to the original elegant temperament, the whole person looked a lot stronger and stronger.

"It's nothing to do, it's just to borrow someone from you." In the face of Wei Lan's joke, Fan Xiao shook his head with a smile, and turned his face to look at Gu Chao, "I'm going to go to the ground next week, I want to throw the billet out before I do, do you have time?" Good wine and good food. ”

Gu Chao sneered, rolled up half of his sleeves, and joked, "Just give your family good wine and food, and you have to make time if you don't have time." ”

The three of them laughed for a while, and after saying goodbye to Gu Chao, Fan Xiao planned to go to the brigade again to call a few familiar young men, time was pressing, and there were many people to do things.

It's just that when he was about to go out, Fan Xiao pouted in the direction of the wooden basin, "Can you eat so much oil?" Divide me? ”

Fan Xiao spoke very calmly and directly.

A few of the people present were not stereotypical people, they knew each other well, and they didn't pay attention to those vain things.

The plate oil in the basin is estimated to be four catties, one catty for the big canteen, and there are three catties left, Wei Lan is willing to put oil when cooking, plus there are still some ready-made lard and cooking oil left at home, and two catties are enough to eat for a while.

"I'll give you a pound." Gu Chao nodded, "I'll pack it for you, and when you come back and pass by here, take it again." ”

Edible oil is only two taels per person per month, and there is no need to eat it after eating, and only lard is the oil if you want to eat it.

Fried rice with lard and boiled noodles all have the umami flavor of stick bone broth, but they are hot goods, and ordinary people may not be able to buy a pound when they go to a pork stall to squat for half a month.

Gu Chao was willing to give up a catty, and Fan Xiao only had gratitude and stealing fun.

said that the time would start today, and after Fan Xiao thanked him repeatedly, he waved to the brigade.

Gu Chao took the knife and weighed it, divided the plate oil into three parts, and weighed it with a scale, two of which weighed one pound and two taels each.

It's so precise, it's deliberate.

Wei Lan tilted his head and looked at Gu Chao twice.

Even though he has suffered so much suppression, he still has a kind heart in his heart, is friendly to the people around him, and doesn't care about those small things.

Gu Chao neatly put the oil in the bamboo basket and raised his eyes to Wei Lan, "What's wrong?" ”

With a lot of emotion in her heart, Wei Lan's pretty pink hibiscus smiled brightly, "It's nothing, I just think that Brother Chao is very good." ”

"Yes, that's good." The corners of Gu Chao's lips were hooked high, and his greasy hand pinched Wei Lan's delicate cheek, leaving an oil mark, "It's bad for you." ”

The smile on Wei Lan's face was retracted, her mouth pursed impatiently, the corners of her lips drooped, and her small appearance looked like she was about to go crazy.

Gu Chao didn't give her a chance, smiled dumbly, pushed the small basin of lard towards her, and said, "Take it to Mulberry Zao'er, the sun will be big in a while, and it should stink." ”

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year!

Love you guys!! (A ballad dancing Yangyang song and dance to help the fun)
