When I was in primary school, there was an extreme shortage of teachers in rural primary schools like the mountainous areas where Gu Yu studied, and there was only one primary school in the surrounding three villages. It is often the case that two classes in the upper and lower grades are crammed into the same class, with the same teacher in class. The first half of the class taught the upper grades, and after the teacher finished teaching and assigning homework, he came to teach Gu Yu and their lower grades.

At that time, what Gu Yu and his friends were looking forward to most was heavy rain. Because the rain will flood the natural stone bridge over the creek pit in the village, they can't go to the Zhongheng Primary School in the neighboring village of Zhongheng to go to school, and then they can herd the sheep and play.

Most of those primary school teachers are also private teachers, and none of them are from normal schools. So there were no English teachers at all at Zhongheng Elementary School, and no one taught them English......

Rural students in Ningnan County generally don't start learning English until the first year of junior high school.

At the same time, primary school students in Minghai City began to learn basic English in the third and fourth grades.

So when Gu Yu moved from the countryside to the city in the sixth grade of primary school, his English grades could be imagined, and it was a mess.

When I was in a daze and went to the 15th middle school in my area, the unfortunate homeroom teacher was an English teacher. As a result, his life was even more difficult......

"Surely not so, right?" Tang Yiqiu knows the difference between urban and rural education. She was also admitted to Minghai No. 1 High School from the junior high school of Ningnan Middle School. After entering Minghai No. 1 Middle School, she felt the gap between her English level and her classmates in the city, and she had to work hard to catch up......

"Well, it's not good." Gu Yu nodded. In the high school entrance examination that year, I worked hard after the start of the third year of junior high school, but I only scored 36 points in English with a full score of 120 points, which is really a poor foundation. If his English score can be a little better, his total score can enter the secondary school score line.

You must know that the technical school of that year is very different from the middle school. Graduates of technical schools are workers, and those who enter technical secondary schools are state cadres after graduation. This policy will not be officially abolished until New Year's Day 2003......

"Gu Yu, in this way, I usually have a little more time on weekends. In the future, I can spare half a day every weekend to help you tutor English, how about it, are you interested? ”

After hearing this, Gu Yu was secretly happy in his heart. Tang Yiqiu had excellent results in the college entrance examination that year, and successfully entered Shanghai University of Finance and Economics to study finance. This is more than enough to teach Gu Yu junior high school English, just like killing chickens with a knife......

"Sister Yiqiu, won't this be too troublesome for you?" Happy in his heart, Gu Yu still said politely.

"It's fine. I don't have much to do in the city on the weekends, I have time, you can come to me! ”

After speaking, she took the business card in her hand, took out a pen and wrote her address on it:

"At the moment I live in an apartment provided by our company, a three-bedroom apartment, where we live three single girls. Gu Yu, when the time comes, if you need to, contact me in advance, and come to me according to the address above. ”

When Tang Yiqiu wrote the words "Sanjiang Famous Court", Gu Yu sighed in his heart: This Golden Leaf Trust is really rich!

"Sanjiang Mingting" is the first high-end real estate developed by overseas Chinese businessmen in Minghai City, located on the edge of the Sanjiang Estuary in the scenic city center. I heard that the monthly rent of each house inside is at least 3,000 yuan, and the people living in it are high-end people such as foreign company executives and private bosses.

At this time, Tang Haiyang asked again: "Yiqiu, how are your personal affairs, do you have a satisfactory partner?" You're twenty-five years old, and our elders are really anxious for you! ”

Tang Yiqiu said with a smile: "Second uncle, what's the hurry, I'm still young, I'll be busy with my career first......"

"Twenty-five is not young, girl, when your mother is twenty-five, you have learned to walk!"

Next, Tang Haiyang was persuaded again......

……

After nearly four hours of bumpy travel, at noon, Tang Haiyang's pickup truck finally arrived in Minghai City and delivered Gu Yu to his doorstep.

"Xiaoyu, what are you carrying in your hand?" Seeing Gu Yu come back with two heavy plastic buckets, Zheng Wenjuan, a grandmother who was busy fiddling with the briquette stove at the door, said curiously.

"There's something good in there, it's a yellow eel and a soft-shelled turtle!"

"Did you buy this?"

"Where can I buy it, I caught it from my grandmother's village!" Gu Yu said proudly.

Grandpa Gu Xiande leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "So many yellow eels, Xiaoyu, can we finish eating?" ”

Gu Yu smiled: "Grandpa, we can't finish eating, we can sell it!" ”

"By the way, grandpa and grandma, have you had lunch?" Gu Yu asked.

"Not yet, we two old men can just deal with it. Isn't this cooking porridge......"

"Grandma, do you have leeks at home?"

"Yes, I just went to the Xihe Farmers Market in the morning to buy some and came back."

"Then you two should rest, I'll make a Ning-style eel paste for you to taste!"

“……”

After grandpa and grandma looked at each other for a while, they looked at Gu Yu in surprise and said, "Xiaoyu, when did you learn to cook?" ”

"I used to learn it in the countryside from my grandmother. It's just that you didn't give me a chance to play......"

"Really, we're going to see how good you are?" Grandpa Gu Xiande couldn't believe that the grandson in front of him, who had never cooked in the kitchen, could make this Ning-style eel paste.

In his previous life, after Gu Yu failed to play stocks and futures, he once briefly learned cooking skills for a while and set up a supper stall. His cooking skills are not very good, but it is no problem to cook a few home-cooked dishes.

Soon, Gu Yu's performance made grandfather Gu Xiande and grandmother Zheng Wenjuan dumbfounded!

I saw Gu Yu kill two yellow eels quickly, skillfully remove the yellow eel bones with bamboo slices, and wash them. Then heat the water in the pot, add ginger slices and cooking wine, and put the eel into the boiling water to cook and remove the smell.

Then take out the boiled eel, rinse it under cool water, wash off the mucus on the surface, lay the eel meat flat on the cutting board and cut it into shreds, and then cut it into sections.

Then the vegetable oil in the iron pot is boiled until it is hot, the green onion white section is stir-fried to bring out the fragrance, the eel and ginger are stir-fried, the rice wine and ginger juice are cooked, and the stir-fry is served.

Then add a small amount of oil to the wok, add leeks and bamboo shoots and stir-fry, then add eel and stir-fry together, then add salt, light soy sauce and sugar, turn the pot, put in the white soup and burn it slightly, add monosodium glutamate and simmer slightly.

Finally, thicken with wet starch, put it on a plate, sprinkle with pepper and chopped green onions, dig a small pit in the middle, and pour cooked sesame oil.

A bowl of authentic "Ning-style eel paste" with the fragrance of sesame oil is done.

Oh my God, this little grandson in front of me can really cook, and it's very authentic!

Gu Yu's actions made grandfather Gu Xiande and grandmother Zheng Wenjuan so surprised that they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Grandpa, grandma, sit down and eat together, how about you taste my craft while it's hot? It's not delicious when it's cold......"
