Plant peaches with uncle

The flesh of the peach blossom fish is tender and sweet. No matter it is braised in soy sauce, steamed, stewed in soup or fried, the taste is long and memorable.

In the past, the number of catches was small. In order to maximize the umami taste of the whole fish, most of them chose to cook in clear stew. Even if a small fish as big as a palm is cooked in a large pot of soup, it will not lose the umami in the slightest.After stewing, the fish meat is scattered in the soup, and the noodles are served with this soup, which is luxurious and delicious.

The long-dried spring in Taoyuan suddenly spewed out a huge number of peach blossom fish. The hotel staff guarded the spring mouth to catch one or two hundred fish and sent them to the back kitchen.

The head chef of the back kitchen is a national-level chef recruited by the resort with a high salary. He has the standard appearance of a sous-chef. It is not seen that he caught the flexible and vigorous peach blossom fish in his hands with a single movement, carefully Looking at the fish carefully, he nodded repeatedly and clicked his tongue in his mouth, "This fish is really good, yes, very good. Big head, pick up the oil pan, and I will try one."

Cai Guangyuan, nicknamed Datou, responded, picked up a pot, put it on the fire, and poured refined soybean oil on it. He managed to find a way to stay in the back kitchen of the resort hotel, but found that he was a half-way monk in the regular chef's kitchen. It's nothing in front of me. It used to be okay to make a big pot of rice, but now I have to learn a lot from a small pot and a small stove.According to the chef's instructions, the oil pan was set up, and I saw that the chef just cleaned the peach blossom fish without removing the scales, opening the insides, and directly wiped off the surface moisture with a dry towel before putting it into the oil pan.

With a sound of "嗞啦", three peach blossom fish fell into the oil along the side of the pot. The hot oil wrapped the fish body, and soon the three fish were fried into golden yellow.

Take it out, drain the oil and put it on a thin white plate. The chef took a pair of chopsticks and skillfully tore off the skin of the fish, and tore a hole in the belly of the fish. Stirring the chopsticks in, the internal organs were pulled out. out.Cai Guangyuan, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but be speechless, this is too good at eating.

The chef simply sprinkled some fine salt on the fish, picked some fish meat into his mouth, and tasted it carefully, without saying a word for a long time.

Cai Guangyuan couldn't help thinking that peach blossom fish has a long-standing reputation in this generation, and they are said to be the best delicacy. As long as you catch one, you can show it off for a long time. Is it possible that such a fish cannot be loved by the chef?The chef is from the capital city and is good at cooking southern dishes. I heard that he is a native of the old city. He has lived away from home for decades.

Unexpectedly, the head chef burst into tears with tears in his eyes, which made Cai Guangyuan jump. The whole back kitchen was silent. Everyone looked at Cai Guangyuan who was the closest to the chef. Cai Guangyuan waved his hands again and again, but he didn't know what Situation.

The chef wiped his tears, "The taste is the same as in memory. It's so delicious that everyone laughs at it. This kind of fish itself is fresh, and the simplest and rude method will not destroy its deliciousness, but you must pay attention to the heat. Because the ingredients are good, I can make it casually. I want to talk to the manager, the peach blossom fish must maintain a long-term supply, and it must be made into the main dish of our hotel."

The chef is impatient, but the fish needs to be available for a long time. God knows whether today's fish is a flash in the pan or a constant bloom. Even if the chef finds Qin Chengyu, there is nothing he can do.

"If there is a long-term and stable supply, the hotel restaurant will definitely adjust the menu and launch peach blossom fish as the main dish. It is too early to say this. Chef, I will leave the banquet at noon to you, and peach blossom fish will be the main course. My family That one likes it."

"President Qin, don't worry, I'll cook this meal myself, and make sure your lover likes it."

"Thank you."

The restaurant on the third floor of the hotel is exquisitely designed. The large and transparent floor-to-ceiling windows allow people to have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. There is also an open-air restaurant that blends with nature, as if eating in the green water and green mountains.The box is not as bright as the hall and open-air dining seats, but it is also interesting and more private. Open the door and you will see a whole side of floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a large round table for 15 people to eat at the same time, and a bottle is placed in the center of the table. , the flowers are beautiful and colorful.

The rest area next to it is separated by a bogu shelf, on which a few bowls of lotus are placed, which can isolate the space without looking oppressive and dull.

"Yeah, this watermelon is so delicious, I think I can eat a whole one at a time. The one in the middle is so sweet, grandma opened her mouth, ah, I'll feed it to you." Lin Yu and his two younger brothers and sisters were holding half of each The watermelon nest was digging and eating on the sofa, and I dug the middle piece for grandma.

The eldest aunt looked at the taste, and leaned into her husband's ear and said, "Xiaoyu thinks about her mother for everything, and I have no part in it."

"Our mother brought up Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu wondered what happened to her. If you let go of work when you were young, this watermelon would be yours now."

The aunt was at a loss for words, and her eyes immediately turned red. "I'm not for this family..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't say anything. Xiaoyu was thinking about you too. Didn't she squeeze a cup of watermelon juice for you, and picked out the seeds one by one."

"Yeah." Looking at the room-temperature watermelon juice in her hand, the aunt's mood improved again.

Su Ruoyan stood aside and watched, watching the family interaction between grandpa and grandma, and the two uncles' families, feeling envious.He has never enjoyed such a simple and warm family life, nor has he ever appeared in the Su family.What if his mother is old and also in menopause like my aunt, and her mood is erratic?My aunt and my uncle are coaxing me, his mother is divorced, but there is only one person, no, there is him, but I don’t know if my mother can accept her son’s sexual orientation, and live with him and Daqin embarrassingly? Awkward.

"What's the matter, you look preoccupied, this doesn't look like a birthday."

Su Ruoyan sighed, "It's just random thinking."

"It's your birthday today, so don't sigh. You can tell me what troubles you have, and I'll give you the details." Qin Chengyu put the peeled grapes into the bowl in front of Su Ruoyan. In fact, he wanted to send the grapes to Su Ruoyan's. In the mouth instead of the bowl, unfortunately the time and place are wrong.

The peeled grapes were not damaged in the slightest, and the appearance was perfect, giving Qin Chengyu an appreciative look.Inserted grapes into the mouth, "Well, it's really sweet. What kind of grapes?"

"Black Pearl Milk Fragrant Grapes, if we like to eat them, we will grow them ourselves. We will set up a vine in the yard, and we will have grapes to eat next summer."

Su Ruoyan thought about this suggestion carefully, but found that he didn't like it very much. He set up a vine in the yard and looked poetic and artistic, but it was really difficult for him to take care of it. The old man liked this tune, saying that it was him There was such a vine in the yard of my hometown when I was a child.So in the old man’s yard in the Su’s old house, there were bugs in the grapes, even if they were taken care of and cared for carefully, the grapes still had worms, big green worms with thick fingers, and spots like eyes on their backs. Su Gaosheng caught the worms and threw them on the ground. His head felt chills just thinking about it now.

He found that almost all of his childhood dark memories were related to Su Gaosheng, such as snakes, big caterpillars, etc. Now that he was sure that he was not the old man's seed or his own uncle, he felt a little disappointed.I don't know how the old man is feeling. My baby, pampered to grow up, proves that my son who is still strong and powerful in his old age is not his own kind. His mood must be very complicated.

Pulling his mind back from those messy things, Su Ruoyan chewed the grapes and fell into deep self-doubt. He said that when he was older, he had more thoughts and recalled the past. He was only 22 years old, so he was always thinking about things.

Look, now it's time to start thinking again...

Su Ruoyan couldn't bear it anymore, so she hurriedly interrupted her wandering thoughts with words, "I won't plant them in the yard, just plant them in the field. There are no grapes yet, so I'll use this variety. Black Pearl, hey, still It sounds good."

"Then I'll contact you to get grape seedlings."

"Yeah." Su Ruoyan ate one or two grapes and put them down because they felt too sweet. Before his mind switched to grapes, he seemed to have not answered what Qin Chengyu asked before, "I'm thinking about your mother-in-law, my mother I'm going to get a divorce. She came here after the divorce. Will she live with us or what? I really want to live with my mother. I used to have no peace at home. After college, I always separate. I want to live with my mother A comfortable and ordinary life, the kind where you don’t have to be wary of anyone or anything.”

If we live together, how can we tell your mother about our affairs?This sentence wandered in Qin Chengyu's mind for a few times, but he still didn't say it in the end.It also happened to start serving dishes. They are all a family. They don’t pay attention to ostentation or a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas. Instead, they mainly focus on seasonal dishes. What they eat is fresh and delicious, and the taste is the most important.

The cake brought by the second uncle was opened and placed in the middle, replacing the bottle.The cake is an eight-inch mousse, filled with yellow peaches, kiwi fruits, strawberries, etc., colorful.But what is more attractive is the longevity noodles served at the end. Chinese people still eat noodles most comfortably on their birthdays.

The bowl of noodles brought to Su Ruoyan was the most special. Qin Chengyu specially ordered the kitchen to make a piece of noodles. He picked it up with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. As soon as he ate it, he knew that it was the noodles under the soup made of peach blossom fish. The inside could still be seen vaguely. From the scattered peach blossom fish meat, the noodles are chewy and springy, and the soup is delicious but not greasy.

"Don't bite it off, eat it in one bite."

The weight of a noodle is not much, but it is long enough. The thin noodle floats in the yellowish soup, like a silver thread, very beautiful.

Su Ruoyan ate the noodles in one bite, and even drank up the soup after eating the noodles.

"Happy birthday."

Now his eyes are full of Qin Chengyu, his ears are full of his voice, he blocks the others, and his mind is full of Da Qin, because the person he loves is saying happy birthday to him, it is really a special and fulfilling birthday.
