Chapter 17 Chinese New Year
Xianghua crossed her waist and said: "That's not the right way, the fish is delicious!" Our sauerkraut can be eaten, and tomorrow I will make sauerkraut fish for everyone! Xianghua was about to drool when she thought about the taste of sauerkraut fish, "Dad, go buy a bigger fish!" ”
Taro listened and glanced at Xianghua. He had eaten mandarin fish and sea bass, but they couldn't afford to buy these expensive fish, and the other fish were really not very tasty, and he had never heard of the name of the dish of sauerkraut fish, so he didn't know how to do it.
The next day, everyone only ate some hastily for breakfast, and Cheng Linchang went to buy a big grass carp, which was lively and fresh. Xianghua didn't dare to kill the fish, so she could only let his father do it, she went to the tank to find out the sauerkraut, and went to pull a few green onions, ginger and garlic, picked some wild peppercorns, washed them and set aside.
At this time, there was no cooking wine, but fortunately, there was rice wine, and Xianghua washed the fish and marinated it with rice wine. If you can't afford the spices, you can simply use some of them, and the biggest regret is that there are no chili peppers.
"What chili? What is this? Cheng Linchang looked confused, he had never heard of the name of chili pepper at all.
Not only him, but so did Donglin and Xiangmiao, who even shook their heads in confusion.
Xianghua was dumbfounded and explained: "Chili pepper is ...... Red, spicy ......"
The four heads shook together, not to mention the chili pepper, they had never even seen the word "spicy".
There are no chili peppers in this world?! Xianghua felt indignant, doesn't that mean that half of the fun in life is missing?
Xianghua sighed and made sauerkraut fish and served it to the table, the steaming fragrance came to the face, and the taro people couldn't help but swallow their saliva. There is no fishy smell of fish, but the unique aroma of fish and the sour aroma are mixed together, which is very appetizing.
"Let's drink some soup to warm up first." Xianghua took a spoon and filled each person with a bowl of soup.
Cheng Linchang picked it up and blew it twice, then took a big sip, and his eyes widened in shock.
Donglin also took a sip and said happily: "Drink it well!" ”
I also tasted the taro, this sauerkraut fish soup is different from fish soup and fish fillet porridge, the taste is more fresh and refreshing, and it is not difficult to drink a few bowls.
Cheng Lin Changxing rushed and said: "I'll call your grandparents to come over and eat fish too!" ”
After a while, only Cheng Zhang's followed, and Cheng Lin smiled and said that the meal over there was also ready. Xianghua didn't like her uncle and aunt, so she smiled and scooped soup for her to drink, and Cheng Zhang was very surprised when she took a sip, and heard that it was made by Xianghua, and praised Xianghua again.
The fish was stewed very badly and fragrant, and everyone didn't eat fish before Cheng Zhang's came, and after she moved the first chopsticks, everyone started to move the chopsticks.
No matter how big a fish is, it can't help so many people to eat it, Cheng Linchang made the decision to give Cheng Zhang's a piece of big fish belly, Donglin and Xiangmiao also got a piece each, and there was nothing left in the pot, only a piece of fish meat, a fish head and a fish tail with no meat.
Taro said, "I like to eat fish tails. ”
Cheng Linchang grabbed his chopsticks and said with a smile: "I like it too, I took the lead, you can eat something else." ”
The taro looked at the fragrant flowers, and the fragrant flowers were almost full, so he said to him, "You pick first, and I can do it." ”
This kid is a tangled character, so he can always be neat...... Right?
Xianghua held her chin and looked at him quietly, but saw that the taro still had a solemn face, staring at the remaining two pieces of meat, and her demeanor was fighting between heaven and man.
Isn't it, she said so, what's so hard to choose?
Taro was indeed arguing fiercely in his heart. In terms of deliciousness, it must be taro that is delicious, but the other piece of meat is more. Give her the head of the fish, there will be a suspicion of taking advantage. But give her the meat, she looks like a fish expert, and she can't say that she complains in her heart that he is cheap and good.
Thinking like this, he simply put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full." ”
Xianghua was stunned: Huh? That's it?
She hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and randomly pinched a piece for the taro: "One piece per person, don't be fooled." ”
The others laughed.
After eating, Cheng Linchang said to Cheng Zhang: "Mother, Donglin is still sick this year, so we won't go." ”
Cheng Zhang also understood, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Okay, it's nothing, knowing that you are all good, we are relieved." ”
It was just dark at night, and every household set off firecrackers one after another, Cheng Linchang also took out firecrackers and hung them at the door, lit them with incense, and the crackling explosion sound resounded in his ears.
Xiangmiao and Donglin hid in the house with a smile, Xianghua covered her ears and ran behind the taro, Cheng Linchang looked at the flying firecracker paper and grinned, and after laughing for a while, he suddenly realized that this was the first time they had spent the New Year in their own house since they separated.
It is said that the New Year should wear new clothes, Xianghua did not have it at home, Xianghua asked Cheng Linchang to buy a few red ropes, she and Xianghua used the red rope to tie the flowers, and Xianghua also braided three red bracelets for her father, Donglin and taro. Donglin was already able to walk around on the ground, and Cheng Gang said that it was okay to look at it.
On the first day of the new year, I was supposed to leave my relatives, but Xianghua Niang didn't have them, let alone these. Fortunately, Cheng Linchang didn't mind this, he called the taro to go up the mountain early in the morning to cut down the trees. It's too hard to sleep in a room of five people these days.
Xianghua set off later, she had to ask Mobao and Yuanbao to help, and there was still an important place to raise quails.
"Wow, you can't understand the quail? That's of course wow, quails are not as smart as crows! Mo Bao tilted his head and said to Xianghua as a matter of course.
Xianghua said bitterly: "Then what should I do? The phoenix gem can only make the quail willing to get close to me, but I want to take other people's eggs, I have to ...... Gotta say hi. ”
"Well...... Maybe the big fat cat got out of the way. Mo Bao said, "That big fat cat has lived in the mountain temple for a long time, and it seems that he can make other animals listen to him, and the crows are afraid of him." ”
"So amazing?" Xianghua was eager to try, "Then let's go ask him!" ”
Ingot Bon's answer to this is an arrogant big ass.
Xianghua said good things, so she knelt down and begged him, "...... Yuanbao, you don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, that taro kid has to eat, doesn't he? If this continues, our family will have to drink the northwest wind. ”
Yuan Bao couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, sighed, and jumped off the incense case: "I really can't do anything about you weak humans." ”
Xianghua made a triumphant gesture to Mobao behind his back.
Maybe there is really some mysterious power, Xianghua only saw Yuanbao and the quails meowing to meow and say a few words, the quails seemed to understand something, and naturally dispersed, eating and drinking, and a few ran to Xianghua's feet to peck around, with a posture of not treating her as an outsider at all.
“…… Nailed it? "The fragrant flowers are incredible.
Yuan Bao licked his paws for a long time: "Okay, you can only get the eggs in the future, and if you change someone else, they will all run away." ”
Xianghua jumped up happily with him: "yes, that's great! ”
Yuan Bao looked at her with an indifferent face: "......"
She hurriedly put him down and said respectfully: "Offended, offended." ”
