Chapter 289: There are fish every year
The pot was supported, a fire was made at the bottom, and then Qiaolian brushed the pot twice, put the materials for making smoked chicken and rabbit at the bottom of the pot, and put a pot curtain on it.
Put the whole chicken and rabbit that are seven or eight medium-rare on the pot curtain and put them on the pot lid.
The main flavor of the smoked ingredient is sugar, which will produce a caramel color after being heated, and smoked on the surface of chicken and rabbit meat will make the meat look red and bright.
In the days when there was no coloring, this is how cooked food was colored.
The bottom of the pot is slowly baked over low heat, so that the ingredients in the pot will not paste quickly, but will be charred little by little, so that the aroma of the ingredients will slowly penetrate into the meat.
When the time is almost up, turn the meat over and continue to smoke for a while.
Qu Weiyang has never seen this kind of method, and he thinks it is particularly interesting, especially the aroma coming out of the pot, which smells really gluttonous and drooling.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so good, you can do anything."
"Isn't it just thinking about eating when you're idle? This year, there was no shortage of meat at home, and I saved some pheasants and hares in the winter, so I thought about changing my tricks.
Otherwise, you should always be tired of stewing mushrooms and potatoes. Qiao Lian smiled.
She used to love to poke some food, and she also liked to collect some recipes and the like, anyway, she just tossed casually, as long as she could eat it.
Chicken and rabbit were slowly smoked outside, and inside the house, a fire was lit and the ribs were cooked.
The wild boar itself is relatively rough and the meat is old, and this rib naturally needs to be stewed for a while, and the rest is easy to say, and it can be made later.
Qu Weiyang took advantage of this moment to paste the couplet, "Daughter-in-law, I'll go to the river to take a look, I don't know where they are crazy." ”
He didn't worry about Jiakang, so as soon as the couplet was pasted, he went to the river again.
As soon as Qu Weiyang arrived at the river, he saw Jiakang holding a fishing rod in his hand and dragging it out. If you look at how bent the rod is, you can see that it must be fishing for a big guy.
Qu Weiyang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiakang pull it up, and then he saw a big fish more than a foot long, with its tail being dragged up.
"Dad, what a big fish." Jiakang clapped his hands happily.
Qu Weiyang was also very happy, and stepped forward to pick up the fish that was still jumping on the ice, "Let's go, go home, there are more dishes today." ”
There is fish in the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, which is called more than every year, and is a symbol of good luck.
In the past, when he was in Shijiagou, Qu Weiyang would follow the villagers to catch fish in Daya River, but when he got here, he didn't seem to see anyone smashing ice holes to fish, and Qu Weiyang actually didn't know the bottom of his heart.
I caught a fish here, Jiakang shouted so much, how could Wang Zhiguo not hear it? So a few people came over.
"Yo, what a big fish, Wei Yang, it's still you, it's amazing, we also smashed the ice hole, and the bait used is the same, why are there no fish?"
"The bottom of my side is stable, the water is deep, the natural water temperature is higher, and there are fish here for the winter. Where you are looking, the river is shallow, where are there any fish? ”
Qu Weiyang smiled, he was at home this year, and he had already walked up and down the river, and he knew best where and what the situation was.
"So you're cheating." A few people suddenly realized, no wonder Qu Weiyang bet with them so confidently just now.
They fools, this is Qu Weiyang's home, can they not be familiar with it?
Just a few of them have this brain, and they still bet with others, but fortunately they didn't bet on anything just now, otherwise wouldn't they lose very badly?
"It doesn't matter if it's a fraud or not, just have fish to eat today.
Let's go, let's go back, Qiaolian is cooking at home alone, I have to go back to help. Qu Weiyang smiled, carrying the fish and leading Jiakang back.
Wang Zhiyong and the others originally wanted to stay a little longer, maybe they could catch a few more fish, but when they heard that Qiaolian was cooking at home, these people couldn't help it.
They run outside to play, leaving my sister-in-law to work at home alone, how bad is that?
"Let's go, let's go back and help my sister-in-law work, so many people are eating, all pointing to my sister-in-law alone?"
So, several people followed Qu Weiyang and returned to Qu's house.
Before they could enter the courtyard, everyone smelled the fragrance wafting in the wind, "Yo, what kind of smell is this?" So fragrant?
Wei Yang, what kind of delicious food does my sister-in-law make at home, this is too fragrant, right? ”
"It's smoked chickens and rabbits, and your sister-in-law is willing to set up a trap in the mountains on weekdays to catch some pheasants and hares.
She was reluctant to eat and planned to keep it for the New Year, so she thought of a way to say that she was smoked and eaten.
You're here for the right time, I haven't tasted it yet, but today I'm just trying your sister-in-law's craft. ”
Qu Weiyang is very proud at this time, his daughter-in-law is so capable, where can he find such a good daughter-in-law?
Everyone heard the ostentatious and smug energy in Qu Weiyang's words, and couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in their hearts.
Those who didn't marry a daughter-in-law thought that it would be good if they married such a capable daughter-in-law. Those who have already married their daughters-in-law can't help but think of their wives who are far away.
If he goes home, his wife will be like his sister-in-law, and she will bring out all the good food in the house.
Alas, it's a pity, it's too far away, it's not easy to visit relatives once, even if there is a holiday, he can't afford it.
If you have a round-trip fare, you might as well send the money home to spend enough time for the family.
This is the helplessness of soldiers and military families, and before there was no military policy, most soldiers and military families were like this.
Even if there is a holiday, many people will choose not to go back because they are reluctant to pay for the journey.
In these years when it is so difficult to make money, the round-trip travel fee is worth the expenses of ordinary people for several months, which is really distressing.
Qu Weiyang also seemed to notice that everyone behind him was depressed, and couldn't help sighing.
"In the future, if the policy allows, the family will be allowed to join the army, and it will be good at that time, and the family will be reunited, and there will be no need to separate the two places."
Thinking about it at this time, maybe it's not a bad thing to change jobs and go home, at least he can see his family often.
Otherwise, it is estimated that they will be the same as Wang Zhiguo, in order to save money, they are reluctant to go home for the New Year.
"Yes, I hope the policy will come down sooner, but I estimate that three or five years is enough.
Now that the economy is recovering all parts of the country, there is no such condition, and only after the economy is restored can we be able to take care of the family members and accompany the army. ”
Wang Zhiguo sighed, they all know the current situation, it is too late for national construction, how can they have spare money to take care of others?
Among these people, Wang Zhiguo has a daughter-in-law, or the daughter-in-law he married when he went home to visit relatives after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
I went back to watch it once last year, but I didn't give it up this year, Wang Zhiguo thought that his daughter-in-law and son were going crazy.
"Don't be discouraged, there will be a day." Qu Weiyang also knows that it is not easy, but he can't let everyone be discouraged, right? Only words of encouragement can be given.
"Okay, I don't want to do this, let's go, let's prepare to cook, today is the New Year, let's be happy, two pots of wine at night, let's have a few drinks."
"Yes, I don't want to, I have to be happy for the New Year. Let's go, let's help my sister-in-law chop firewood, and chop more, my sister-in-law will still have to suffer in the first month of the province. ”
