Wang Chong had just entered the house, but the fish he caught this time was indeed big enough, a big silver carp weighing thirteen catties.

However, the taste of the body of the silver carp is really not very good, but the fish head, the taste is a must.

Wang Chong quickly disemboweled the fish, took out the internal organs, cut off the head of the fish, and was cleaning it up, when there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

"It's me!" Qin Huairu's voice came into the room.

Wang Chong said: "Come in, the door is not locked!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the door opened and the two footsteps came closer and closer.

"Listen to the stick terrier that you caught a big fish?"

As soon as he entered the door, Qin Huairu asked.

"I'm cleaning up!" Wang Chong was kneading the cut head in his hand, and the body of the fish was placed in the pool like the residue of a discarded shoe.

"This fish must be at least ten catties!" Even though the head and body of the fish have been separated now, the huge size of the fish still makes the two sisters frightened.

"A little more than thirteen pounds!" Wang Chongdao.

"Can you catch such a big fish?" The surprise in the sisters' eyes was written on their faces.

"Good luck, good luck!" Wang Chong looked at Qin Huairu, who was following Qin Huairu, and asked with a smile, "Sister Qin, why don't you give an introduction?" ”

While Qin Huairu was talking, Qin Jingru put the basket in his hand on the table with some restraint.

From the moment she entered the door, Qin Jingru's eyes never left the tall young man who was busy in front of the stove.

The height of 1.82 meters is not too outstanding in the north, but the strong figure supports the body extremely thickly, and the heroic and elegant contradiction between the eyebrows is a bit elegant, remembering what Qin Huairu said about this man at home last night, the curiosity in Qin Jingru's heart is like a rooted weed, constantly growing and spreading.

Wang Chong's facial features are sharp and angular, like a knife carved with an axe and chisel, and he can't match the handsome and beautiful at all, but he is very attractive, and his whole body is full of strong masculine atmosphere, and the slightly green stubble on his chin adds a bit of masculinity.

Qin Jingru was a little stunned for a while.

Qin Huairu came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly introduced the two: "This is my cousin Qin Jingru, cousin, this is the Wang Chong I told you, Wang Technician." ”

Wang Chong immediately put down the fish head in his hand, washed his hands with soap, wiped them clean, and then walked to the hall, stretched out his hand to Qin Jingru, and greeted with a smile: "Hello Jingru sister, I'm Wang Chong, I'm very happy to meet you." ”

"Hello Technician Wang! I'm so happy to meet you! Looking at the heroic and tall young man in front of him, Qin Jingru only felt that his face was hot, and he retracted his gaze in a panic, lowered his head shyly, and did not dare to look at Wang Chong.

"Don't be nervous, Sister Qin is just like my sister, when she comes to me, she will go back to her own home, don't be polite, sit down, have a cup of tea first!"

Saying that Wang Chong was about to pour tea, Qin Huairu hurriedly said: "You are busy with you first, you don't need to greet us, we just heard that you are back, and we will send you something, the family has just cooked a meal, and we have to go back to eat." ”

"Look at me, I just came back from outside, and I haven't made lunch yet, so let's make this fish in the evening, and then you two will come to my house for a meal and try my craft?" Wang Zhong took advantage of the situation to send out an invitation.

Qin Huairu glanced at his own cousin, who was now full of only Wang Chong, and then looked at the big fish lying next to the pool on the board, and said, "Wouldn't it be too troublesome?" ”

"What's the trouble, Sister Qin, don't treat me as an outsider, and then bring a few of their brothers and sisters, yes, but your mother-in-law will forget it."

Qin Huairu was stunned by Wang Chong's words, but still nodded: "Cheng, then I'll come over with Jingru to help you in the afternoon!" ”

"Then we'll go back first, you get busy first."

"Okay, then I won't keep you."

The two sisters came out of Wang Chong's house, and Qin Jingru could be said to look back three times in one step, and almost all of her reluctance was written on her face.

"Cousin, why didn't Technician Wang let you bring Grandma Stick Terrier over?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

Qin Huairu told Qin Jingru how Wang Chong helped him, and how Jia Zhang's family had trouble with him.

"Ahh How can she be like this, cousin, you are also for the good of the family, why doesn't she allow you to help Technician Wang clean up the house! Whether it was from the perspective of his cousin or from the perspective of a bystander, Qin Jingru couldn't understand Jia Zhang's behavior.

Qin Huairu shook his head and said helplessly: "Who knows!" ”

It's just that his eyes flickered a little.

"I said, why don't you feel something is right when I enter your house today!" Qin Jingru realized the way after he realized it.

The two sisters held hands and went back to Jia's house as they spoke, and there were even more disgusting things Qin Huairu didn't tell Qin Jingru to listen to.

At noon, Wang Chong made a simple deal with the dough rolling, and in the afternoon, it was only three o'clock, and Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru to the door.

"You're here just in time, help me wash all these dishes!" As soon as the sisters entered the door and exchanged a few words, Wang Zhong commanded the sisters to start working.

Qin Huairu has long been used to it, and Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu had already made Wang Chong's conditions clear to her long before she came, so she didn't feel anything wrong, anyway, she didn't work less at home, and she had to go to the ground at home.

Seeing the piece of mutton that was more than three catties of fat and thin, Qin Jingru's eyes lit up.

After a while, the two sisters washed a basket of cabbage, coriander, bean sprouts, and radish.

Wang Chong turned out a copper furnace in the corner again: "Sister Qin, this copper furnace has been useless for a while, so you have to wash it well." ”

"Sister, aren't you worried about work!" Qin Huairu hugged the stove and went into the toilet.

Wang Chong picked up the mutton washed by Qin Jingru, and didn't say that he would freeze it in the snow outside, and directly cut the fresh raw mutton into thin slices of uniform thickness with a knife.

Qin Huairu, who had washed the copper furnace, followed Qin Jingru to make Wang Chong's kneaded noodles into steamed buns, while Wang Chong prepared to chop the pepper fish head next to him, and after sending the fish and steamed buns to the steamer, he kneaded a small ball of white noodles again and rolled them into noodles.

When everything was cleaned up, it was almost half past four, and the stick terrier and the two sisters knew that they were going to eat at Wang Chong's house today, so they had already run over and waited, and they didn't play crazy in the alley.

When the huge fish head is placed in a special large casserole, then sprinkled with chopped garlic and green onions, and a spoonful of hot oil is poured over, the fragrance instantly spreads out, and the whole room is filled in an instant.

Not to mention the stick terrier and the two younger sisters, even Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

A chopped pepper fish head, a copper stove shabu mutton, and a few vegetables, the staple food is white flour steamed buns and noodles, the noodles are cooked in advance, put in cold water, and then soak in the fish head soup, the taste is absolutely not said.

The three catties of mutton were stacked on several plates, and everyone couldn't help but drool just by looking at the meat.

The stick terriers are already restless.

Two plates of mutton were poured into the copper furnace first, and under the charcoal fire, the milky white soup was tumbling in a short time.

"Let's eat!"

Wang Zhong picked up the dipping water and took the lead in clipping a chopsticks of mutton, put the mutton into the dipping dish and rolled it around, and sent it to his mouth.

Although Qin Jingru was also very greedy, she temporarily suppressed her strong appetite, first sandwiched a chopstick mutton for her niece Xiaodang, who was sitting next to her, and then clamped it for herself.

Although Qin Huairu also wanted to eat, she still had to take care of the little locust flowers around her, so she could only swallow her saliva and clip it to her daughter first.

"It's hot! It's hot! The stick terrier ate too quickly, and he exhaled when the hot mutton was hot, but he was still unwilling to spit the mutton in his mouth back into the bowl.

"Eat it slowly, there's still mutton!" Seeing this, Wang Chong couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile.

The stick terrier was busy dealing with the hot mutton in his mouth, where did he have time to reply, Qin Jingru was also a little anxious, it can be seen that Si Swenwen, who Wang Chong ate, still looked at himself and the others, and immediately became reserved, and turned his head to look at Xiaodang next to him first, and told her to eat slowly, don't worry, be careful of burning your mouth.

"Sister Jingru, don't patronize Xiaodang, you can eat too."

Qin Jingru raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Chong, nodded and grabbed a pair of chopsticks and mutton.

Although there is no big skill in shabu mutton, but the quality of the soup base and mutton and the dipping sauce are also quite particular.

The soup base is a broth boiled by an old hen and a pig's barrel bone, and an appropriate amount of red dates and wolfberries are also put in, as for the dipping sauce, it is also mixed by Wang Zhong with sesame paste, peanut butter, sesame oil, coriander, chives, etc., the proportion is very good, so that the taste of the dipping sauce does not overshadow the taste of the mutton itself, and it can also bring out the freshness of the mutton to the greatest extent.

As soon as this mutton was eaten, Qin Jingru's two eyes lit up in an instant, like stars twinkling in the dark night.

"Delicious!"

"This mutton is too delicious!" The delicious Qin Jingru is about to cry, although they have a tight life with Qin Huairu, they can also eat meat during the New Year's holidays, but Qin Jingru's life in the countryside is not as comfortable as in the city, especially in the past few years, it is a common thing to be hungry, let alone eat meat.

During the Chinese New Year, you can smell a little meat.

"Eat more if it's delicious, don't be polite to me!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Looking at Wang Chong, who was smiling, eating delicious mutton shabu, Qin Jingru only felt that he had completely fallen and could no longer extricate himself.

"Technician Wang·····"

"Hey! What is the name of Wang Technician, it's too outward, if you don't dislike it, just call your brother! ”

"Brother Wang!" Qin Jingru's pretty face also showed a smile: "Your craftsmanship is also too good, this mutton is the best mutton I have ever eaten in my life." ”

Wang Chongdao: "Although the mutton is delicious, this fish head is not bad, Jingru girl try it?" ”

Following what Wang Chong said, looking at the verdant red chopped pepper on the head of the fish, Qin Jingru was a little worried, but Wang Chong said so, even if it was a sea of swords and fires in front of him, Qin Jingru had to go over.

Qin Jingru looked at the smile on Wang Chong's face, stretched out the chopsticks towards the casserole where the fish head was chopped, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Chong again with a piece of meat close to the belly area of the fish head, and then used the bowl to continue and send the fish meat into his mouth.

The sour and spicy meet in the mouth, and the fresh aroma stimulated by the hot oil envelops the fish, accompanied by a faint sour and spicy sensation in the mouth.

Qin Jingru didn't know how to describe this feeling, she only felt that it was a delicacy that she had never tasted, and for a while, she subconsciously closed her eyes and savored it.

I have long known that the three brothers and sisters of the stick terrier want to come over to eat together, how can Wang Chong make the chopped pepper fish head so spicy, even the chopped pepper is carefully selected, the aroma is strong, but the spicy taste is almost nothing, for people who love spicy, such a pepper naturally lacks a little stimulation of the taste buds, but for the northerners who basically don't eat spicy, it is just right.

With the aroma of chili pepper and the unique pungent taste after pickling, the only remaining fishy flesh in the fish head is completely suppressed, which enhances the flavor and freshness.

"How?" Wang Chong's voice pulled Qin Jingru back to reality from his intoxication.

"Delicious!" Qin Jingru immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "It's so delicious." ”

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru suspiciously and said, "Is it so delicious?" ”

It's not that Qin Huairu doesn't believe in Wang Chong's craftsmanship, as one of the people who has personally tasted Wang Chong's cooking, Qin Huairu naturally understands Wang Chong's cooking skills that are not inferior to Silly Zhu, but this red and glamorous fish head covered with chili peppers is really so delicious?

"Cousin, you'll find out if you try!"

As soon as Qin Jingru's words fell, before Qin Huairu could make a move, the stick stalk next to him caught a chopstick on the head of the chopped pepper fish.

For children of this age, for this kind of food with a little spicy taste and a slightly heavier taste, it is the time when they like it the most, and they have eaten a bite, which is the second and third bites.

Just like some people, when eating, they say that they can't eat spicy, but when they eat spicy strips, they are not inferior to those who love spicy food.

"Delicious!"

"Mom, try it!"

The stick terrier is still a little filial, and quickly reminded Qin Huairu, seeing that his son said so, Qin Huairu also quickly grabbed a chopstick, and after trying it, his expression immediately changed, and his face was full of surprise and surprise.

Wang Chong explained to a few people with a smile: "This chopped pepper fish head is a traditional famous dish in Hunan cuisine, the method is simple, but it is a great test of the chef's skills, pickling, heat, seasoning, and oil splashing can not be a little sloppy, a little mistake, this makes a different taste." ”

"The choice of fish is also very important, this is the silver carp, a kind of bighead carp, commonly known as fathead fish, which is the best choice for chopping pepper fish heads."

"I said, why do you only eat the head of the fish and don't eat the body of the fish when you come back to catch silver carp!" Qin Huairu said suddenly.

Wang Zhong said: "What is delicious about the fish, the fishy smell is heavy, and there are many spines, I make salted fish and then take it to exchange it for other things." ”

Qin Huairu joked: "A fuel-intensive way to eat like yours, the yard is full of rowing, that is, your family has this condition, a salary of more than 80 yuan a month, you can just fish and meat every day, like the three masters, you are reluctant to eat some fish by yourself when you finally catch some fish, and you have to exchange them for food." ”

Qin Jingru looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, as well as the soft and sweet white flour steamed buns, and the hand-rolled noodles that Wang Chong had just picked out and put into the casserole with chopped pepper fish heads, and looked at Wang Chong's eyes becoming more and more hot.

At noon, Qin Jingru ate steamed buns made of Erhe noodles at Jia's house, and the dishes were simpler, a shredded potato, a fried cabbage with oil residue, and a stewed radish, for Qin Jingru, this was already rich enough, but compared with the meal in Wang Chong's house, it was not at the same level at all.

Three catties of mutton were forced to dry up by three big and three small six people, and the little bit that could be eaten in the head of the chopped pepper fish was eaten except for the chili pepper.

Wang Chong picked up the noodles soaked in cold water and put them into the remaining soup of the chopped pepper fish head, and when the casserole boiled, the noodles were also full of soup from the chopped pepper fish head.

The stick terrier and Xiaodang and Xiaohuahua have already eaten with round bellies, and they can't hold it at all, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru also hold their stomachs, rubbing their bellies, and burping, this bit of noodles is naturally only eaten by Wang Chong, a big-bellied man.

Eat a few bites of noodles, take a sip of warm wine, and eat a few vegetables that have been scalded in a copper furnace and wrapped in dipping sauce.

Not long after, the wine bottle was empty, and the dishes were almost eaten, but there were still a lot of steamed buns left.

The stick terrier led the two sisters out to play, Wang Chong sat leisurely on the recliner and took a nap with his eyes closed, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru sisters put on aprons and helped clean up the mess.

It's just that Qin Jingru's gaze can't help but glance at Wang Chong.
