Spring is always the season of dreams. Walking through spring together, more than four seasons, after sixteen years old, Zhu Guangming and Hu Yonghong have never sat together to eat like this, the memory of childhood, is also that you have eaten at my house and I have eaten at yours' house, but I have never been so formal, or alone.

This meal, pure friendship, no outsiders, only the Zhuhu family.

The fish seller's restaurant is the best restaurant in the Shoe Mountain Lake Textile Factory, he sells fish, and his restaurant naturally eats fish. Zhu Xianjin motioned to the child to order himself, and he smoked with Director Hu. That's not saying that smoking is harmful to health, and naturally there is no secondhand smoke entanglement. There are many things in this world, tangled and entangled, all of them are a confused account, the longevity of smoking, the short life of non-smoking, and the entanglement between cigarettes and people is endless!

Zhu Guangming ordered a "net pocket", and Hu Yonghong asked for a "phoenix".

Zhu Xianjin really admires this fish seller, and he can still make a restaurant with many tricks, no wonder his restaurant always has to be booked in advance.

Hu Yonghong was a little noisy and ordered "One Life", "Wind and Flowers and Snow Moon", and then called "Confused Soup", all of which her Brother Guangming likes to eat.

The dishes I ordered today are all specialties of Shoshan Lake, and they all have stories.

It's a dish, the fish seller came in to say hello to everyone, and just came in with the dish, it was a phoenix. The locals all know that the so-called "phoenix" is braised yellow tooth head and catfish, but the workmanship is exquisite, but the braised is required to be complete, with soup but not tender inside and crispy outside. The bottom side dish is mainly onion slices, supplemented by green onion segments. The soup noodles are decorated with green peppers and red pepper shreds, like a sparkling glow, and like a shy crimson, at first glance, the heart is excited, and then the saliva is about to come out, until you open your mouth to taste, it is a dreamlike feeling, why is this dish so magical, the fish seller said that the key is to put poppy powder. At that time, eating poppy powder in Shoe Mountain Lake was a normal condiment, what old hen light soup catfish stewed bean ginseng, radish roast beef, braised pig's trotters and so on all had to be used, accustomed to things, but the fish seller said a key, that is, the time of the poppy powder in the pot, he said that the poppy powder can not be put down too early, too early, the taste is gone, the best before the pot minutes to the pot, the taste is very good, the strength is also very sufficient.

Director Hu tasted it first, and felt that it was really like what he said, this taste was strong enough. Everyone has tasted it, the fish seller said: "People in the business field, the number of etiquette is difficult to considerate, I salute this cup and go busy, I wish Yonghong a bright future, step by step!" I wish you all the best! ”

The fish seller went out, and the waiter who served the food served the food again, which was a "net pocket".

Eat at Shoe Mountain Lake, eat a dish, and eat a dish as soon as it is on the table. Waiting while eating, fate is not shallow. In other words, being able to eat together is a kind of fate, so naturally there is no need to be too rigid about etiquette, and casual is a cherished fate.

As for the "one net pocket", it is even more creative. It is also called "self-casting". The materials are not very particular, but creative. Half of the eggplant, the skin surface is cut into a net with a half-deep knife, and the fried trout is inserted into the gap between the nets, and then poured on the soup, which is crystal clear, at first glance, it seems to be a blue sea and blue sky, and the fish are right, dancing together; If you look closely, it seems that the wind is passing through the garden, and the butterflies are flying and lingering.

Director Hu of Zhu Xianjin drank wine and chatted widely.

Zhu Guangming smiled and said, "As long as you are creative, you can taste it if you don't eat it." ”

Hu Yonghong also smiled, he glanced at Zhu Guangming and said: "Eggplant meets trout skin, look at it and be intoxicated." ”

So, Hu Yonghong first clamped a little for Aunt Yin, then Uncle Zhu and his father, and finally gave Zhu Guangming a little, and she also got a trout skin and put it in the bowl, she looked at it for a long time, didn't move the chopsticks, she felt a little inexplicable in her heart, she thought that this trout skin looked too cute, but it became a dish.

Speaking of ""A Net Pocket", that story is really tearful.

Legend has it that in the yellow mud mouth of the shoe mountain lake, there was originally a pair of orphans, the male is called eggplant, because of physical development, lack of nutrition, a blue face, but he has a well-proportioned physique, looks very handsome, an orphan, naturally lacks confidence, his uncle always said that he is like an eggplant, so he has a nickname of eggplant, people called, he should also, over time, the eggplant is also called.

Eggplant is a good hand at weaving nets and fishing, and he has been on a boat all year round, and he is also very good at making fish.

Once, the orphan in the village, Peel, wanted to go to Wucheng Town for something, and he heard that the eggplant happened to be there to sell fish, so he took his boat.

What is the name of the skin, Eggplant can't remember, just because she is thin and seriously undernourished, although she is not skinny, but she is really weak.

Although they are both orphans, one lives in the village, the other is floating on the water, and they don't see each other very much, and even if they do, they pass by, and no one dares to speak, always smiling and laughing.

It's okay to sit on the boat, Crab Pier will help the eggplant mend the net, wash the vegetables, clean up, from Shoe Mountain Lake to Wucheng, it really takes half a day, so the road is not idle.

Look at the day will be in the sky, the eggplant got up to cook, the eggplant is going to sail after all, she will pick the eggplant from home in half, cut out the net knife on the leather surface, just cut, the eggplant said to the skin, get some crab fish to eat, fry it until the time is hot, and then pour the juice, will you get it?

Skinny smiled, glanced at the eggplant, and nodded again, which was considered an answer.

Peel pinched the fish intestines, cleaned it, put it in the stern of the boat and wept for a while, then put it in the gourd spoon and sprinkled it with a little salt. She went to work on the garlic and ginger ingredients.

When eating, as soon as this eggplant and skin fish were served, the eggplant's eyes lit up, and he couldn't imagine that the eggplant could make such a refined dish.

He immediately docked and stopped the boat, washed his hands, and often came to the cabin.

"It's so pretty!" Eggplant blurted out, so beautiful, "I can't bear to put down the chopsticks!" ”

"Where?" Peel smiled, "Eat!" In the future, if you want to eat it, I'll make it for you, don't you! ”

As soon as the words came out, Skin's face turned red, and she realized that she was straightforward, thinking that she would be able to cook by herself in the future.

Eggplant is also very clever, and immediately added: "A word is a certainty, don't you don't cook for me!" ”

Peel nodded, and pinched and pinched with both hands, not daring to look at the eggplant. It wasn't until Eggplant told her to sit down that she came to her senses.

As soon as the bowl was served, the eggplant said, "What is this dish called?"

Crab said, I only know how to do it, and I don't have any name.

Eggplant asked, what do you think it's called?

Although Crab was an orphan, when his parents left, he also went to elementary school, and it was really difficult to choose a name, so she smiled and named the eggplant. I haven't read the eggplant book, where to get it.

He thought about it for a while, and called it "a net pocket", is it good.

Crab Pier smiled and leaned back, and said a few good things, because the village dialect said that "a net pocket" is a good thing for fish to meet a net and sleep to meet a pillow.

When she smiled well, she realized that she was a little out of shape, and she smiled and said, you are really joking.

Eggplant said, I'm serious.

At this time, Skin's heart was crisp, and her tears flowed out at once.

Later, the skinkeeper held hands with the eggplant, and this dish became a home-cooked dish, and on the wedding anniversary, the skinkeeper teased the eggplant, and you only eat the eggplant, and look at the one that raises you red.

Eggplant smiled, that's you throwing yourself into the net!

Not only was she not angry, but she also said seriously, this dish is simply called "self-throwing net", which is better!

Since then, this "net pocket" has another name, called "self-throwing net".

A life of suffering, a beautiful love, makes people look up to a thousand years and dream of it. It has also become an intoxicating conversation at the dinner table.

After the above dishes, Zhu Guangming asked Hu Yonghong to do it himself, and Hu Yonghong put the chopsticks into the "life", this dish is also red pepper with tofu, known as "red pepper with tofu, a lifetime of joy and bitterness".

Zhu Guangming also ate a piece of tofu first, spicy on the outside and light on the inside, ice and fire, which makes people passionate for a while, warm and tender for a while, and indeed the taste is open.

Zhu Guangming kept spicy, Hu Yonghong smiled with tears in his eyes: "Yonghong, this dish is really interesting, after a little sweat, but the mouth is full of tenderness, this ancestor will really enjoy it, how can you think about it, it is really a yin and a yang, and it is full of anger." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Hu Yonghong looked at Zhu Guangming suspiciously, "Unforgettable!" ”

Zhu Guangming nodded vigorously, he liked this childhood sweetheart's sister for sure, he also wanted to officially chase her, but as soon as he heard that she was going to work in the provincial capital, he lost a lot in his heart, as if overnight, the two were not in the same dimension.

Zhu Guangming gave Hu Yonghong a piece of tofu and put it in her bowl, Hongmei's face was like the beginning of the morning glow, she lowered her head and ate very seriously, maybe it was nervous, Yonghong sneezed, tears floated out, she quickly took out a small handkerchief from her pocket, Zhu Guangming saw that it was the handkerchief he gave Yonghong on his eighteenth birthday, but he pretended to be nothing: "This next life, I won't forget it!" ”

"No wonder people say that when red pepper meets tofu, it will be heartwarming and stomach-hanging." Hu Yonghong sighed, "I didn't expect that a dish is really a legend." After eating it, I will miss it for the rest of my life. ”

At this time, Zhu Guangming gave Hongmei half a bowl, he knew that she liked this soup, it was light and smooth, sweet but not greasy, just to lower the fire of the hot throat.

This soup is the two of them have eaten since childhood, and every family will make it, using diced daylily, diced pork, diced tofu, green cabbage foam, garlic foam, diced pork liver, diced ginger, diced sauerkraut, etc. to make soup, and then use sweet potato flour to adjust the soup, green onion is on the face, sour and crisp and tender, the taste is large, and it is intriguing to chew.

Speaking of this "confused soup", no one really knows its origin.

Hu Yonghong drank a few sips of "muddy soup", and her anger was much smoother, she smiled and said: "No wonder the older generation says that there is a bowl of muddy soup on the table, and you don't panic when you eat spicy and drink." ”

"My mother also often said that the soup is confused, the soup is confused, and I don't drink it for three days and I feel panicked." Zhu Guangming asked Hu Yonghong if he remembered that when we were two young, whoever had confused soup would eat at someone's house. Hu Yonghong said: "I don't remember, your temper, once you didn't drink enough, and you paid the bowl to the ground when you were angry!" ”

"Childish, do you remember?" Zhu Guangming was a little proud, "I don't listen to my mother, I can make confused soup, and my family is not ordinary." Now that I think about it, it really makes sense. This soup is made with casual ingredients, suitable for family life, and is both affordable and delicious. Naturally, it is a small craft of thrifty housekeeping! ”

"That is, the throat is as deep as the sea, if you don't eat, you can't do it, spend a little money, eat well, that's the ability." Hu Yonghong smiled brightly.

The two seem to have returned to their childhood. Zhu Guangming made a strange face to Hu Ji's ups and downs: "I have made you not win since I was a child, you eat fast, do things quickly, and your brain turns fast, you always can't win you, it's weird if you don't lose your temper!" ”

"Once your mother made a "Wind Flower Snow Moon" and asked me to eat together, but you said you wouldn't give me food, I just ignored you, and you rolled on the ground in anger. Hu Yonghong said, "You were very stingy at that time. ”

"That's my favorite, how can I share it with you." As he spoke, Zhu Xianjin grabbed a piece of wind and snow with his hand and ate it with relish. ”

This wind flower snow moon is three glutinous glutinous balls, after frying, rolled on a layer of cotton sugar, plush, like a reed flower. A steamed glutinous rice cake, placed on the lotus leaf sprinkled with cotton sugar, is like a reed flower in the lake, on the wave of the moon, the former is crispy and sweet, the latter is sweet and chewy. Even if it is a snack, it can also be used as a staple food.

It is said that this snack was originally a famous dish in Peihou Village, Huangnizui.

Pei Houwan is the widow of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty fell here, it is a single-family family, an old woman with a sick son, called Shengyuan, she married to seek a stable life, but she is very good to Pei Hou, her mother always said, our family is a crow to go to the phoenix, good luck, it turns out that Shengyuan also has a wife, but life here is hard, and he ran away with people.

Since this is a post road, she taught her husband to do this "wind and snow" to sell for a living, saying that it is an ancestral craft, and people passing by are very fond of eating, and the business is naturally good, and the family road is slowly solidifying.

The "Wind Flower Snow Moon" designed by Pei Hou is very economical, three glutinous rice balls, one glutinous rice ball, and then a porridge, this person can eat enough.

Later, there is a poem: a snack to raise a family, won the world's boast.

Mother-in-law and Shengyuan do not let Pei Hou do everything, they all say that she is the mother of heaven to go down to earth, Pei Hou gave birth to three sons for him, mother-in-law is grateful to Pei Hou, the place where he lives, renamed Pei Houwan, this Shengyuan is surnamed Liu, this place is called Liu to live, the Tang and Song dynasties were originally also a big village, it is said that it is an earth immortal harm, let the ancestors of the Liu family block the water here as a dam, named Liu to live, and the local dialect is called Liu Zhizhu. Since then, Liu really can't get up here.

Pei Hou gave birth to three sons, and it developed here, divided into Upper Peihou Bay, Middle Peihou Bay, and Lower Peihou Bay. So Pei Jiawan is not surnamed Pei.

After eating a good meal, on the way home, Zhu Guangming gave a gold ring to Yonghong, he said: "A ring is not valuable, I just wish that two hearts will be connected for a long time." For the sake of work, I just waited for the day of the red candle. ”

Hu Yonghong naturally wore the gold ring on his ring finger. took Zhu Guangming's hand and walked home.

For Zhu Guangming and Hu Yonghong, eating is not the meaning, and returning to the innocence of childhood is the most beautiful aftertaste!
