9. Drive this woman away
Xiao Chen walked home with the fish and Nini talking and laughing, attracting the attention of many villagers along the way, especially Nini, who is cute and beautiful, and compared with the past, it is like a different person.
Facing the surprised gazes and whispers of the villagers, Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to it. He probably knew how these people said behind their backs. He just regarded him as a coward who could not make a living outside and ran back in shame.
Xiao Chen just wants his family to live a good life, and he also has this ability. It doesn’t matter what secular people think of him!
"Great grandma! Come and see, Dad caught a big fish!" As soon as Nini ran into Grandma Zhao's yard, she started yelling. Dahuang rushed out of the doghouse and had fun with the little girl, scaring the chickens, ducks and geese swaggering up and down.
The window of Grandma Zhao's house was open, and a woman in her forties appeared in front of the window, her eyes moved from Nini's beautiful clothes to the big black fish in Xiao Chen's hand, and smiled and said, "Oh, Xiao Chen is back. I am your Aunt Song, do you remember?"
Why don’t you remember? A famous tongue-in-law in Xiaohe Village! She loves to inquire about big and small things about her family, and then adapt it and spread it out with ignorance. Her mouth turned the wrong and distorted it, which was very annoying!
Not long after Xiao Chen's father passed away, the woman said everywhere that Tian Xiufen was unfaithful and was making teased shoes outside. Tian Xiufen was so angry that she cried in the middle of the night.
This old lady visited Grandma Zhao's house today, and 80% of them were watching the fun again.
Xiao Chen remained silent and said with a smile: "Why don't you remember that when I was a child, I often played with your Xiao Gangzi. By the way, what is he busy with now?"
When Song Shujuan heard Xiao Chen mention her son, she showed a proud smile on her face and said, "My son is now a chef in a big restaurant in the county town. He cooks good dishes. The boss is polite to him and earns more than 10,000 yuan a month!"
"Oh." Xiao Chen responded casually, ignoring Song Shujuan, and carrying the fish into the room, "Grandma Zhao, I'll borrow your kitchen to make a fish."
"Okay, everything is in the kitchen in the back hall, you can find it yourself." Grandma Zhao's voice came from the inner room.
Song Shujuan curled her lips. She wanted to see a hint of embarrassment, envy and jealousy on Xiao Chen's face, but Xiao Chen looked indifferent, which made her a little unhappy.
Who in the village mentioned that her son didn’t give him a thumbs up? That’s a person who earns more than 10,000 yuan a month. Not to mention that he ranks first in the village, he will also get second!
What is Xiao Chen? You have been running out for four or five years and haven’t even driven a car when you come back. You are obviously a waste of money and have not made any money. You are still here to show off, hum!
Turning around, Song Shujuan sat on the kang, kowtowed Guazi and whispered to Grandma Zhao: "Aunt Zhao, haven't Xiao Chen told you what he has been doing for all these years? He won't come back if he has such a big deal at home?"
"I see that when he came back, he didn't even have any luggage. The clothes he wore were old and torn. I thought he was not doing well outside. He felt bad about such a big thing happening at his home, so I didn't ask, for fear that the child would get angry." Grandma Zhao sighed.
As expected, when Song Shujuan heard this, she even confirmed her previous thoughts.
I went back and told the old sisters about all these things, but they were still waiting to believe them.
Back hall kitchen.
Xiao Chen looked around and found that there was no seasoning except a bottle of soy sauce and a bag of salt. He looked at Grandma Zhao's kitchen knife, which was so dull that he couldn't even cut the fish belly, and he shook his head repeatedly. He really didn't know how Grandma Zhao usually cooks.
Forget it, just use the knives and seasonings you carry with you.
Xiao Chen took out a ten-cm-long sharp knife from his small bag, and gently slashed the big black fish, removed the gills, and cleaned the internal organs. The blade flashed by, and the big black fish turned into a plate of sashimi in a blink of an eye.
Knife skills are an important item in cooking skills. Food with uniform particles and exquisite appearance can add a lot of color to the food. Xiao Chen put in a arduous effort at the beginning. He swung his sword no less than 100,000 times, which is more than a skilled swordsman swings his sword.
The big black fish itself did not have many thorns, but Xiao Chen still picked all the thorns on the fish, for fear of pricking Nini.
Take out the seasonings from the small bag, sprinkle them carefully on the sashimi, pickle them well and marinate for 20 minutes, light the pan, add various ingredients and seasonings after the oil is turned on, and take them out when the fish fillet turns golden and finally drizzle them with hot oil.
Sizzle ~!
The hot oil moisturizes the fish fillets, and the aroma immediately dissipates with the rising heat. The whole back hall is filled with a strong fish fragrance. A plate of boiled fish with a full range of colors, fragrance and flavor are ready.
Xiao Chen smelled it and nodded with satisfaction. The fragrance was still as tempting as ever!
"The first time I used Sky Blue Star to cook, I wonder what special effects this boiled fish has?" A red light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, and the attributes of this boiled fish appeared in front of him.
“Fragrance 1, digestion 1, nutrition 1.”
Very good, suitable for children and the elderly.
Xiao Chen was really worried about the emergence of special effects such as "Rampage 1" and "Bloodthirsty 1", but fortunately there was no.
The smell of boiled fish floated from the back hall to the inner room. Grandma Zhao and Song Shujuan both smelled the fragrance. Song Shujuan stretched her neck and sniffed the fragrance hard. The saliva was secreted in her mouth frantically. She swallowed several mouthfuls and said to Grandma Zhao: "What kind of dish is this? It smells so fragrant!"
Grandma Zhao was also curious: "Maybe Xiao Chen is making fish."
Dingdeng, Nini rushed in from outside with her rhubarb, sniffed her nose, and then determined her position and rushed to the back hall. The fragrance drifted into the yard, attracting the little greedy cat.
"Dad, the fish you made are so fragrant!" Nini saw the boiled fish on the stove at a glance. The little girl's eyes shone. If it weren't for being too hot, she would have grabbed it directly!
Xiao Chen smiled and picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and blew it into Nini's mouth. Well! It's delicious!
The taste is smooth and tender, oily but not greasy, and it has no fishy smell, and it also retains the fresh fragrance of fish. The little girl narrowed her eyes intoxicatedly, her little mouth clattered, and her face was still unsatisfied.
The rhubarb next to him stuck out his tongue and shook his tail. He was greedy when he saw the little master eating with relish.
"Ni Ni, Grandma Zhao hasn't eaten yet, let's eat it with her." Xiao Chen picked up the boiled fish and walked into the bedroom, which immediately attracted Song Shujuan's attention. She could tell at a glance that it wasn't boiled fish?
Song Shujuan has eaten boiled fish made by her son, and the ingredients are also big black fish. The taste is not much different from this one, but the fragrance is simply a thousand miles apart! What is the reason?
Xiao Chen set up the table and placed the boiled fish on the table. He smiled and said to Grandma Zhao: "Grandma Zhao tastes my skills."
Grandma Zhao took the chopsticks sent by Nini, picked up a piece and put them into her mouth. The old man suddenly showed a look of surprise and nodded repeatedly to praise: "Yeah! It's so delicious! Xiao Chen, is this the craft you learned?"
"Yes, I have learned a lot of things in the past five years, so cooking is a kind of thing." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"It's delicious!" Nini grabbed a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. The meat was still a little hot. She pouted her mouth and exhaled, and then couldn't wait to swallow it. Her big eyes were squinted happily into a slit.
Song Shujuan looked at the large plate of boiled fish with eyes swallowing her saliva, but no one asked her to speak. She was embarrassed to speak, and she wanted to leave, but she couldn't move because the fragrance was so tempting that it hooked her soul and refused to let her go.
Grandma Zhao was so heartbroken that she saw Song Shujuan watching and hurriedly said, "Shujuan, come and try the fish made by Xiao Chen, it tastes really good!"
Song Shujuan was waiting for this sentence, nodded quickly, leaned forward and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm so embarrassed, I'm actually stewed fish at home..."
Nini has always hated Song Shujuan, so she snorted and muttered: "Then go home and eat! What should I grab with us?"
Song Shujuan pretended that she didn't hear it, lowered her head and looked for chopsticks, but found that there was nothing extra. How could she eat this? You can't grab it with your hands, right?
"Nini, please get a pair of chopsticks for Grandma Song." Grandma Zhao ordered Nini, and the little girl responded unhappily and turned to the kitchen.
Xiao Chen looked at Song Shujuan coldly, slandered his mother, and had the face to eat what he made?
