60s Splendid Life

"Marinating fish with pickled cabbage is a particularly important part. Remember that when making fish with pickled cabbage in the future, you must first marinate the fish head, fish bones and fish meat. Pickling the fish head, fish bones and fish meat is different. Fish head and fish Put a little salt, pepper and wine to marinate the bones, like this, just mix well." After killing the fish, the second step is to deal with the fish bones and fish meat, Lu Jin washes his hands beside him while doing it Shen Yu explained, "Put some salt and egg white on the fish fillets, add a little starch water, and mix well, this will make the fish meat smoother and tenderer."

Shen Yu washed the water several times, but no matter how she smelled it, she still felt the smell. The expression on her face was very bad, and she didn't pay much attention to what Lu Jin said.

Lu Jin looked at the man who didn't know how many times he had washed his hands, and reminded: "Go and rub the ashes."

Can that be cleaned?Shen Yu looked at Lu Jin with suspicion.

"Yes, trust me, go." Lu Jin nodded with certainty.

Then why didn't you tell me earlier!Shen Yu stared, glanced at Lu Jin dissatisfied, then turned around and grabbed a handful of plant ash. After washing it twice, he found that the smell was much lighter, but he didn't know if it was a psychological problem. He always felt that his hands were still stained with ash. fishy smell.

But he didn't care about it at the moment. He stood aside and watched how Lu Jin handled the fish, and watched the boy's hand holding the knife deftly deboning and cutting the meat. The movements were very skillful, as if he had done it a thousand times .

It's just that he doesn't think Lu Jin's age is as old as him, so at what age did this person start cooking?How can he develop such good cooking skills?But even though he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he still didn't ask.

"Go and pick up the sauerkraut, remember to wring out a little water, then wash it in water and pick it up again." Seeing that this man had nothing to do, Lu Jin directed him to work again.

What's strange is that Shen Yu himself didn't resist at all, and just obeyed Lu Jin's words.

"Papa-papa-chop-chop-chop-"

Lu Jin took a few mouthfuls of garlic with a knife, chopped the garlic into minced garlic, and put it in a small bowl.You don’t need too much chili, because there are many children and old people in the family, so he put a small handful of chili and a little pepper.

By the way, cut the carrots and leave them for a while to stir-fry.

Oh, and tofu, cut into small pieces and set aside.

When all these materials are ready, the fish can be officially made.

"Move away a little bit, I'm going to fish." Before putting the fish bones into the pan for frying, Lu Jin reminded the person who squatted in front of the stove and set the fire on fire, and poured the oil into the pan after they walked away , Scooped up the oil with a spoon and poured it into the pot before putting the fish bones in.

"Fuck-"

The fish bones were put into the pot, and the oil splashed everywhere.

Lu Jin dodged back for a while, and only dared to approach when he saw that the oil was not splashing so much.

Fry the fish head and fish bones until golden on both sides, take them out for later use, continue to add oil, pour in the minced ginger and garlic until fragrant, add sauerkraut and tofu, "Put the fish head and fish bones in, pour half a spoonful of water, cover it Yes. Put a little more wine in to remove the fishy smell, add a little ginger and shallot, cover the lid, and bring to a boil."

"Now that the fire is on, put it on a low heat. Don't boil the water dry. It will continue to simmer for about 10 minutes." Lu Jin reminded the person who set the fire to put less firewood, and then went to see if the rice in the pot was cooked. , Lift the lid and take a look, put the lid back and continue to simmer for a while, so that the rice will be more fragrant.

Shen Yu didn't know much about cooking, it was all what Lu Jin said, he was just a watcher and cooker.

Counting the time, when it was almost time, Lu Jin lifted the lid, and a puff of white smoke came out, followed by a puff of fragrance.Take out the boiled sauerkraut bones and put them in a basin, leaving a milky white fish soup. Put some seasoning into the soup, put the fish meat in, and take it out quickly when the fish meat changes color.

"The last step, and the most critical step, is to heat up the oil and pour it in." Lu Jin asked Shen Yu to step back before starting to heat up the oil. Pour the onion, ginger, and garlic into the pot, add peppercorns and peppers to fry it, and use a spoon to fry the oil. Drain the oil and pour it over the fish.

With a sizzling sound, a domineering fragrance came out, which made people salivate when they smelled it.

Standing beside him, Shen Yu directly felt the stimulation of this fragrance, rolled his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and knew for the first time that his stomach would also be hungry.

"How is it, isn't it delicious?" Lu Jin turned his head back to look at the person standing behind, and asked with a smile.

This time Shen Yu couldn't help laughing, nodded and said, "It's very fragrant."

"Oh, by the way, add some sesame seeds, you don't like green onions." Lu Jin still remembered that this person didn't like green onions, so he put a little coriander and grabbed a handful of sesame seeds. The sesame seeds were fried just now, and the rest At one point he poured it over the rice.

"It smells so good!"

"Brother, what are you doing, it smells so good!"

The two children, Shen Xing and Chen Chen, smelled the aroma and ran to the door of the kitchen. They stretched out their little heads and asked him what delicious food he made.

Lu Jin glanced back at the two little guys, and said with a smile, "My brother made pickled fish, isn't it delicious? Go wash your hands, and you can eat after my brother cooks another dish."

"Okay, okay, let's wash our hands!" Chenchen pulled her younger brother and ran away.Seeing the two little guys run away, Lu Jin turned back to Shen Yu and said, "Take out the bowls, chopsticks and vegetables first, and I'll just fry a green vegetable here."

Hearing this, Shen Yu went to get the bowls and chopsticks and put them outside.

With the last carrot sautéed, they're ready for today's dinner.

"Spicy or not?"

"not spicy!"

When deboning, Lu Jin was very careful. He handled the fish cleanly, so that the children would not be caught by the fish so easily. Because he put chili, he tried it himself, and luckily it was not very spicy. I asked a few children and the old lady, and they all said it was not spicy.

Take a spoon and give a spoonful of fish meat to several children and old ladies and put it into a bowl, "You guys eat, pay attention to the fish bones when eating, and remember to spit out the fish bones."

"Yeah." The children ate without raising their heads, because today's dishes are so delicious.

The old lady looked at the fish scooped up from the bowl and said with a smile, "I'll do it myself. Don't give me so much fish. Let the children eat."

"It's okay, I'll scoop it up for you. There's too much, such a big basin is full of fish, and there are tofu and sauerkraut at the bottom. Grandma, you have to pick it up yourself." Lu Jin used a spoon to turn up the sauerkraut and radish on one side, which is convenient for everyone folder.

"Okay, you sit down and eat too, don't worry about us." The old lady nodded with a smile.

Lu Jincai sat down and helped the little Bao'er next to him break up the fish, and let the child eat the rice and fish with a spoon.Just after cooking, he himself didn't have much appetite to eat. He put some fish soup in a bowl and drank it. The hot and sour fish soup was very appetizing. After drinking a small bowl of fish soup, he started to eat.

He glanced at Shen Yu who was sitting next to him. It was rare to see this young master eating without raising his head. It seemed that he really liked this dish.

Today's dishes are quite ready for dinner, both adults and children went to pack the rice twice, and Shen Yu even went to pack the rice three times, there was not even a single pot of rice left.A pot of sauerkraut fish was eaten by everyone so that there was not even a little fish soup left, only a few fish bones that had been gnawed clean.

Today's fried carrots are not so popular, and there is still a small half dish left.

Fortunately, there were still a few chickens at home, so Lu Jin poured out the small half dish of carrots that everyone didn't eat and gave them to the chickens.

A few chickens couldn't be tied up in the fence, and one or two ran out. It took a lot of effort for a group of them to drive the chickens back inside and lock them up, and then went to sweep the chicken droppings outside the yard. clean.

Lu Jin looked at the restless rooster inside, and thought to find a time to kill this restless chicken!

"Hey!"

The rooster with a big red comb on its head exchanged glances with the owner who bought it, made a cluck, and hurried away.

The two hens stretched their necks upright and stretched out their long legs, walking leisurely inside.

The sun set in the west.

They brought a big wooden basin out of the yard, took two buckets of hot water out, mixed several buckets of cold water, and asked a few boys to take off their clothes and jump in to take a bath.Lu Jin also grabbed their little Bao'er and rubbed his face and feet clean, until the baby screamed and ran away, scaring the two older brothers who were in the basin and almost jumped out without even their clothes on.

"Be honest, wipe your face clean, it's as dirty as a kitten... Tell me, are you a kitten now? Rhubarb is not as dirty as you." Rhubarb is the big yellow cat in Dr. Liu's house, usually cute and clean , I often wash my face with my little paws, and every yellow hair on my body is fluffy, unlike the children in their family, they are dirty all day long.

"It hurts... no, no, no..." But the child who was sore from being rubbed by him with a towel obviously wanted to run, but he couldn't run because he was holding him.

"Look, it's still the prettiest cub on our street after wiping it clean...it's your turn, why are you running away!"

"Wow wow brother is too scary..."

Lu Jin grabbed the youngest child to wipe his face clean, and then went to grab the other two children to wipe their faces.A few nights ago, he didn't care much about these children taking a bath, and let Shen Yu take care of them. He didn't expect that all the baths were fake, and his little arms and legs were covered with mud when he rubbed them. He was almost angry. Laughed.

After the children finished washing in the basin, he asked Shen Yu to fetch another bucket of water, dragged the children to wash them, and then let them put on their clothes and run away.

After taking a bath, the youngest, Xiao Baoer, could only obediently sit on a chair and wait for him, and was not allowed to crawl on the ground.

***

The last light in the west is slowly fading, and the sky outside is getting dark.

After letting the four children play on the bed in the house, Lu Jincai took his clothes to take a bath. At the door of the bathroom, Shen Yugang came out of the shower. The two said hello, and he took the clothes and went inside. .

"You haven't washed your clothes yet?"

"Ah."

When he finished his bath and took his dirty clothes to the well to wash, Shen Yu was still squatting by the well to wash his clothes, and he also squatted beside Shen Yu to wash his clothes.Shen Yu washed his and his younger brother's clothes, and he also washed his own and his two younger brothers' clothes. The little girl's clothes were washed by himself. He didn't help the little girl wash, nor did he ask the little girl to help her elder brother and younger brothers. do the laundry.

The two of them squatted and scrubbed, washed clothes and chatted. Most of the time, it was Lu Jin who was talking, and Shen Yu would occasionally respond, and he could see the occasional smile on the other side's face.But don't tell me, this person is really good-looking when he smiles, but he smiles too little.

We live under the same roof and face each other every day. After getting along for a long time, we gradually become familiar with each other. It's not like at the beginning when two people didn't know each other and sat together without talking.

Now that he and Shen Yu could be called friends?Lu Jin was thinking in his heart.

After rubbing the clothes clean, the two of them fetched water to clean the clothes together, and hung the wrung clothes under the eaves. Lu Jin couldn't help laughing when he saw the clothes hanging next to him dripping. He said to his people: "Let's go, the stars should be in our house, don't you still have to pick people up and go back to sleep?"

Shen Yu followed Lu Jin to the room where they lived, and took away the little fat boy who was playing on the bed.

When Shen Yu went to pick up Shen Xing's kid who didn't want to go back, they were ready to go to bed.

"Second sister, go back to the room and sleep." Lu Jin also asked their little girl to go to the next room to sleep.

"Well, good night, brother." After saying good night to her brother and younger brothers, Lu Qinglian went back to the room next door to sleep.

After putting the children to sleep, Lu Jin went into the space again to work for a while before coming out.
