Soon, the car arrived at the hospital, and the two took their mother to the emergency room together.

Zha Xiaoyu and Yan Xiaotong were in front of the door of the emergency room, walking around anxiously.

Zha Xiaoyu looked at the impatient Yan Xiaotong and smiled bitterly, and then, he thought, at this time, he should calm down, a big man, at this time, he is also nervous, how to take care of a woman he feels again?

Zha Xiaoyu was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Xiaotong, you don't have to be nervous, Auntie will definitely be fine." ”

"I'm just hungry, it's late today, and I haven't eaten yet. ”

Is that so?

This woman, she is also hard-mouthed!

Zha Xiaoyu smiled and said, "That's it, wait a minute, Auntie will come out of it, and the three of us will go to breakfast together." I heard that there is a special snack from my hometown nearby, you must like it. ”

Zha Xiaoyu was thinking about Wenzhou fish balls.

Because Tong Xiaoyan likes it very much, when he was studying, he often went to the back of the school with Tong Xiaoyan and Xi Zhenni to eat.

"Okay, look forward to it. I can't wait to get a taste of what you've got back home. ”

Yan Xiaotong was interested.

Zha Xiaoyu was bored anyway, and told her about the snacks in his hometown.

Zha Xiaoyu said that fish balls are a very common home-cooked dish, which is available in many places, and as the name suggests, fish balls are round and yoyo, meaning reunion. However, Wenzhou fish balls are not like this, shaped into strips, and are a common dish on the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table of Wenzhou locals, implying respect for the old and love for the young, and more than every year.

However, Zha Xiaoyu believes that these so-called meanings are all the same, which of the things on the New Year's table does not represent more than every year?

Why does it imply respecting the old and loving the young, and having more than enough every year? Zha Xiaoyu continued to add oil and vinegar, and began to speak, as if what he said was true.

Zha Xiaoyu said that this meaning has to start from understanding the main ingredients of Wenzhou fish balls. The main ingredients are stinged catfish, mountain noodles and lotus root flour. Because the fish meat has been removed from the bones, it is suitable for all ages, the elderly and children can eat it, and there is no fear of being stuck in the throat by the fish bones.

Therefore, it means respecting the old and loving the young, because the main ingredient of Wenzhou fish balls is fish, which can be a variety of different kinds of fish, in addition to the two fish mentioned above, there are many kinds that can be used to make fish balls, such as mackerel, yellow croaker, and grass carp. Therefore, this dish is mainly fish, which means that there is more than enough every year, which is the expectation and blessing for the coming year.

If you like to eat spicy, Wenzhou fish balls can put some pepper, etc., under normal circumstances, Wenzhou locals do not put pepper, Wenzhou people basically do not like spicy.

He said that he had a classmate, who was one of the few people from Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province who did not eat spicy food, and this year he spent the New Year in Wenzhou, and he learned to make Wenzhou fish balls, and the fish he chose was mackerel.

When Zha Xiaoyu talked about this fish, he felt so hungry all of a sudden!

TMD, when you're hungry, there's only the amount described.

This Yan Xiaotong knows something, she is not unseen in the world, although she is very poor, but she will definitely not be so poor that she has never heard of it, as the saying goes, she has never eaten pork and seen a pig run!

Yan Xiaotong added a sentence to Zha Xiaoyu and said: "Because there is a lot of mackerel meat, but there are few fish bones, it can reduce a lot of trouble to remove the thorns, and the mackerel also has a characteristic, the fish meat is very tender, and it melts in the mouth, and the Wenzhou fish balls made of mackerel taste very delicious." ”

Yan Xiaotong can't have a sentence, Wenzhou people all know a sentence, "partridges on the mountain, mackerel in the sea".

It's just that there are some things that Yan Xiaotong, who grew up in Amsterdam, doesn't know. Zha Xiaoyu proudly said that most of the fish selected by Wenzhou people are catfish, maybe he is a person who likes stories, or a nostalgic person.

I have been in Wenzhou for a long time, and I have eaten Wenzhou fish balls every year, and I have probably heard some Wenzhou locals say something about Wenzhou fish balls.

Zha Xiaoyu went on to say that some Wenzhou locals once said that one day more than a thousand years ago, Beijing (then called the capital) came all the way to Beijing, and the local government was particularly careful to entertain Beijing, for fear that once offended Beijing, he would suffer endless disasters.

Who doesn't know? These bastards! If they don't serve well, they will definitely kill the cook.

Zha Xiaoyu seems to know a lot, he must have memorized the history of fish balls, right?

Yan Xiaotong actually admired his memory a little! She then listened to Cha Xiaoyu's nonsense for a while.

He told the story, so the local official personally went to the home of the most famous local cook and asked him to be sure to entertain the Beijing official, otherwise, once the Beijing official became angry, the consequences would be unimaginable. The cook was also frightened, and after the local government left, he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and cried to the sky.

"It's over, it's going to die!"

Cha Xiaoyu learned the cook's pitiful and miserable voice.

Yan Xiaotong laughed.

Zha Xiaoyu continued to talk nonsense, and with the help of his fellow clansmen, he finally inquired about the preferences of Jingguan, who was said to like to eat light seafood with soup, especially fish.

At that time, Wenzhou mackerel was the most high-grade seafood, very expensive, many times more expensive than yellow croaker and catfish.

The cook thought that it should be his best to use the best fish and the most tender powder to thicken the dishes to entertain the Beijing officials, and if he was still beheaded in this way, it would be impossible to disobey his destiny.

The cook is out of the way, it's a dead end anyway!

Zha Xiaoyu continued, when Jingguan was eating, the cook stood next to him and served, trembling all over, it was over! Who knows, after Jingguan ate the dish he made, he was very satisfied, touched his beard, and laughed.

Suddenly, one of the Jingguan super chefs hooked his hands.

The cook was startled, and his heart was about to jump out, could it be that there was something wrong with the dish? The cook trembled as if he was walking on thin ice as if he was on the edge of an abyss, bent over, and asked what was the matter? The Jingguan was very kind and asked the cook what was the name of this dish?

No, he immediately broke a "fish ball" casually, because the original Wenzhou fish balls were not chopped, but cut into round slices.

Jingguan asked what ingredients were used to make it, and the cook explained that the fish used was mackerel, which was very caught, and it had to go to the distant deep sea, and if it encountered wind and rain, it was possible to capsize the boat, and the fisherman would have no return.

After hearing this, the Jingguan admired them very much.

Jingguan left satisfied, a few years later, another Jingguan came, this is different, quite old, the cook is afraid that the old Jingguan will be stuck in the throat by a fish bone, in case something happens, he will be finished.

Therefore, the cook pulls out all the fish bones and cuts the fish into small strips so that it is easy for the elderly to eat. The old Jingguan was very satisfied, and after he went back, he would often talk about the dish of fish balls, so the fish balls slowly spread and have been passed down to this day.

It's just that because the fish round is not easy to pronounce, the name changed slightly, and it evolved into Wenzhou fish balls.

Yan Xiaotong listened to it and thought it was very interesting.

Yan Xiaotong nodded again and again, urging Cha Xiaoyu to continue telling the story.

Zha Xiaoyu said that because of his love for stories, this is also one of the reasons why Wenzhou people choose mackerel to make Wenzhou fish balls, not only because of the beauty of the legend, but also because of the tender and delicious mackerel meat.

Bullshit!

It's all nonsense!

He continued to play with his tongue. Zha Xiaoyu said: "It is also because of some other characteristics of mackerel, such as ultra-low cholesterol content and rich in DHA elements that improve human brain intelligence. ”

"What?!"

Yan Xiaotong felt incredible, he even knew this?

Not only that, Zha Xiaoyu knows more than that.

He continued: There are also some trace elements that are beneficial to human health, such as a large amount of protein, amino acids, calcium, iron, sodium and so on.

Yan Xiaotong looked at Zha Xiaoyu almost in surprise, as if he was impressed by him.

Cha Xiaoyu hasn't talked about the essence yet! Speaking out, Yan Xiaotong must think that she is too ignorant!

Zha Xiaoyu said: "As for the medicinal value of mackerel, it is very beneficial to middle-aged and elderly people, as well as female friends. Because it has a refreshing effect, when people are not in good spirits, eat a bowl and be refreshed. The more attractive value of mackerel is that it can delay human aging, indescribable therapeutic effects, and inexhaustible medical value. ”

Zha Xiaoyu paused, and then said: "Another point, for mothers, it is an artifact, often eating mackerel has a certain effect on the treatment of premature aging, malnutrition and anemia, and for postpartum weak mothers, it can play a certain auxiliary effect." ”

What the hell?!?

Cha Xiao Yu Shenlong, right?

Zha Xiaoyu seemed to want to show it deliberately, and then said: "Wenzhou fish balls are unique, and the fish balls in other places are not the same, the fish balls in other places are round in shape, so they are also called fish balls in ancient times, and the shape of Wenzhou fish balls is irregular strips,"

Oh, so that's it? It's not a round ball, but a strip of about two centimeters long, and the color is very beautiful, with a translucent jade white that everyone loves, like a beautiful jade.

It must be a top student!

Yan Xiaotong asked directly.

"Zha Xiaoyu, were you once a top student?"

Zha Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, snickered, immediately cleared his throat, and said, "Yes, how do you know?"

Yan Xiaotong looked at him like a nymphomaniac.

Zha Xiao continued: "The selected mackerel, wash it, process it, chop the fish, and then use the rice wine that the local people in Wenzhou like to use, as well as powder salt and flavored chicken essence, fine pickling for a while, and then add sweet potato flour that Wenzhou locals particularly like, and finally sprinkle some minced ginger and green onions, and stir well." ”

There is a special reminder that Cha Xiaoyu is not a scholar, and what he said is all nonsense.

What he said about Wenzhou people don't like to eat garlic is all!

However, Yan Xiaotong knows that garlic is basically invisible in the kitchen of Wenzhou people, and only outsiders or people who are not native Wenzhou people will eat garlic.
