Return to 1980 and be a matchmaker

At noon, the Zhang family cooked a sumptuous meal to entertain Deng Shirong.

In addition to the pork and pork belly brought by Deng Shirong as the main course, Mother Zhang also killed an old hen to stew the soup, plus fried peanuts that are necessary for drinking and several bowls of home-grown vegetables. This is a full dish. The food on the table is three points better than what their family eats during the Chinese New Year.

Unfortunately, Zhang's mother's cooking skills were mediocre, and the food she cooked was not even comparable to that of Deng Shirong, but even compared to the eldest daughter Deng Yunzhen who was taught by Deng Shirong, it was a mountain top away. Only the old hen soup was not satisfactory.

Therefore, Deng Shirong only tasted the pork and braised pork, but he drank two bowls of chicken soup.

However, Deng Shirong was a little disdainful of pork and pork, but the Zhang family ate it with their mouths full of oil, feeling that this was the delicacy of the world.

After eating and drinking, Deng Shirong did not stay at Zhang's house longer. After smoking a few pipes of cigarettes, he said goodbye and left.

By the time I got home, it was already past two in the afternoon.

"Dad, you are back. What kind of meal did my soon-to-be sister-in-law cook for you?" Deng Yunzhen asked with a smile.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It is true that we have cooked a big meal, but the taste is a little bit off. My mother's cooking skills are not very good. I guess my daughter's cooking skills are also limited. When your sister-in-law comes into our house, we have to teach her She needs to improve her cooking skills."

Deng Yunzhen nodded and said: "This is simple. My cooking skills were average before. I learned from you for a while, dad, and now I am pretty good at cooking. My sister-in-law is a smarter person at first glance. As long as she is willing to study hard." , the cooking skills will definitely improve soon."

Deng Shirong hummed, and when he saw a bowl of pig blood soup on the table, he couldn't help but ask: "Whose family killed the pig last night?"

Deng Yunzhen said: "It's Brother Yunquan's house. This is the pig blood soup sent by Sister Yunquan."

I have to say that rural people in this era are indeed humane.

Because life is difficult for everyone in this era, and it is rare to eat meat once a month, so no matter who kills the pig, they will use a small amount of pork and a large pot of pig blood to cook a large pot of soup, and then give it to the people living nearby Neighbors went door to door bringing a bowl.

In this bowl of pig blood soup, there are usually two pieces of pork and some pig blood, which is really a rare delicacy for people who can’t eat meat a few times all year round.

This custom lasted until the end of the 80s. As people's lives got better and better, fewer and fewer people killed pigs and gave them pig blood soup. By the 90s, they were basically no longer seen.

Deng Shirong nodded. He just had to keep this kind of courtesy between neighbors in mind.

Now the family has hired several carpenters to build furniture, and food is included in the work. As for the dozen or so people who cultivated the orchard, the seven people in the village do not need to pay for the food, but their relatives must be paid for it.

Including my own family, there are about twenty people serving meals every day.

Therefore, even though it was only after two o'clock, Deng Shirong and his daughter had to start busy making dinner.

A few days ago, I had been spending money to buy meat, which was a big expense every day. Now with the matchmaking gift from Deng Changwang’s family, I have accumulated several hundred kilograms of meat in the system space, which can support me. It's been a long time.

When Deng Shirong and his daughter started cooking, Deng Changmei also came over to help.

Now, Deng Changmei and Zhang Kangmei have obtained their marriage certificates and are legally husband and wife. However, in rural areas nowadays, marriages are based on drinking and drinking, so even though they are legally married, they still do not live together.

However, Deng Shirong invited three generations of the Zhang family to build furniture. Deng Changmei, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, naturally had to perform well, so after finishing her work at home every day, she would come over to help with the work. Sometimes she would hand over wood and tools to the Zhang family's grandparents. , sometimes I come to the kitchen to help wash dishes and so on.

The main dishes for dinner are still the three main dishes: stir-fried pork, braised carp, and griddle frog. Because the portions are relatively large, coupled with Deng Shirong's superb cooking skills, and a few exquisite vegetarian dishes, it is another meal. A feast that makes people want to swallow their tongues.

Although after Deng Shirong's demonstration, almost everyone in Naye Village knows how to cook fish and frogs to make them delicious, but there are still very few people who go to the river to fish and catch frogs. It's not that everyone doesn't like it. When it comes to eating, the main reason is that the preparation of these things requires too much oil and various seasonings.

Except for Deng Shirong's family, no family in the village is willing to take advantage of it.

……

In a blink of an eye, another week has passed.

September 24th of the lunar calendar is Deng Shirong’s 44th birthday.

The day before, Deng Shirong had greeted Deng Changwu, a pork guy, and asked him to leave all the pig waste to him when killing pigs.

In addition, they also had people burn a few honeycombs and come back, which were all accumulated during this period.

Today, he wanted to show off his skills and cook a table of delicious dishes to celebrate his first birthday after his rebirth.

In later generations, many places advocated eating well in the morning, eating well at noon, and eating less at night.

But in the Shuangwang realm, both now and in future generations, people pay more attention to the evening meal, so Deng Shirong's birthday is naturally centered around dinner.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Guan Yongying, Deng Changmei, and Chen Xiaohua (Deng Changping's wife) came over to help. Together with sister Deng Yunzhen, the five people worked together to cook the pigs, ginger, onions, garlic, and vegetables according to Deng Shirong's requirements. Clean well.

Deng Shirong is responsible for cutting vegetables.

If you want to cook delicious dishes, knife skills are also very important.

By the time everything was ready, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Azhen, start lighting the fire!"

"coming!"

Deng Yunzhen responded, then excitedly came to the stove and started to light the fire.

When the fire started, Deng Yunzhen asked: "Dad, which dish should I cook first?"

Deng Shirong said: "Let's make pig lung soup first!"

Deng Yunzhen said "Oh" and began to watch her father's operation. Although her cooking skills have made great progress during this period, it was only for some dishes that she often cooked. She also didn't like the dishes that she had never cooked before. I don’t know how to make it delicious.

Today, her father planned to show off his talents, so she naturally had to learn from him if the opportunity was rare.

Deng Shirong was also interested in cultivating his eldest daughter's cooking skills, so he explained while making it: "The key to whether the pig lung soup tastes good is ginger and wine. First, use oil to saute the blanched pig lungs and enough ginger until fragrant. Pour half a cup of white wine along the edge of the pot, then add hot water and bring to a boil. Boil for seven or eight minutes to bring out the flavor of the pig lungs and ginger. Then pour in a little soy sauce, add an appropriate amount of salt, and you have a pot of delicious pork. The lung soup is ready to be cooked."

"Wow, this tastes delicious. Let me try it."

Deng Yunzhen took a bowl and scooped out a small spoonful of pig lung soup, let it cool down a little, and couldn't wait to take a sip. She was conquered by the taste and praised: "I didn't expect that pigs can be made so easily." Lung soup tastes so delicious."

Deng Shirong laughed and said while washing the pot: "Home-cooked food is not complicated to begin with. Next, let's make stir-fried pork liver."
