    ?

    Stepping on the tail of the National Day and taking advantage of everyone's spare time, our family gathered at Grandpa's house.

    Free time, family gatherings, nothing seems more exciting than this.

    Delicious, lively, and relatives who are rarely seen on weekdays are gathered here today.

    Early in the morning, my grandfather went to the street to buy fish. When we arrived, the dishes were ready, and we only had to wait for noon to fry and serve.

    For the arrival of their daughters and sons-in-law, the grandparents were very happy, with smiles on their faces all the time.

    After the excitement, my dad, uncle Yao, and eldest uncle set up tables and started playing mahjong.

    Aunt Sanniang and my mother chatted with their grandparents about the recent interesting things that happened at home.

    My cousin, Feng Meier, and I were playing around in the courtyard dam.

    Under the hustle and bustle, it was quiet again. The big family released their enthusiasm and told their loved ones heartily.

    In the middle of the courtyard dam, a small wooden table is placed, covered with a tablecloth, surrounded by four chairs, pour mahjong on the table, make a cup of tea for each, sit on the chairs, play cards, chat while relaxing  At the same time, it is also divided.

    The mahjong playing method here is different from other places. One of the three-color mahjong is removed, and only two colors are left. Each player has ten cards.

    Speaking of mahjong, it is really a good thing, with a variety of collocations and playing methods, no matter how boring people are, they can find fun in it.  You can't see the sharp gameplay like on TV today. We are all from our own family and it's purely for entertainment.

    In the corner of the courtyard dam, next to the steel pipe well, in the huge basin, the carp quietly swallowed the clear water, totally unaware of the coming nightmare.

    Together with Feng Meier, I observed the living habits of the carp for a long time. After removing two shiny fish scales, the carp became irritable and violently turned around, splashing water everywhere, which made us all covered.

    "Ah! It's so cold! Run!" Seeing the water spray coming again, Feng Meier screamed and avoided

    The morning time passed quickly, and it was noon again in a blink of an eye.

    A meal of lunch can reflect the level of dedication as a parent.

    When my grandfather was young, he was a good cook!  It is also very admirable to be able to pull the eldest three daughters.

    Mom's craftsmanship also comes from grandpa, which is indeed unique.

    Now that grandpa is getting older, he rarely shows his hand at such large gatherings.

    ?Because there are many dishes to prepare and it takes a long time, it is left to the younger generations to do it.

    And the eldest son-in-law became the leader of the family!  The eldest son-in-law has learned to be a chef, and the cooking is excellent!

    To be honest, cooking is not a simple job, it is far more complicated than what you see.

    Ever since grandpa bought the dishes, the chef has already started to prepare them.

    How to match dishes, how to cut, how to fry, how to season, are very particular.

    After tidying up the mahjong, the elder uncle put on a white apron and started fighting in the kitchen!

    Once the cutting board is set up and the kitchen knife is in hand, the eldest son-in-law's whole demeanor has changed!  become focused.

    Stretch your left hand into the melon scoop next to it, swirl the clear water, grab the peeled lettuce, gently shake off the surface water, put it on the cutting board, lightly hold the head of the lettuce with your thumb and index finger, and hold the knife in your right hand.  Quickly cut up.

    With the flash of the knife, the lettuce was evenly sliced ??into thin slices.  Every time the knife is cut, it happens to be one millimeter away from the previous knife.  Every time the knife falls, the sound it makes when it hits the cutting board is a tune.

    "Dangdangdang~dangdang~" The uncle entered into his own unique rhythm, and within a minute, a piece of lettuce was declared complete.

    The cold light flickered, the shadows of knives flew, all kinds of dishes were prepared one by one, and put aside for later use.

    "Okay, light the fire!"

    After the vegetables are cut, the hot pan is poured with oil, and the eldest son-in-law begins his exclusive time!

    "Brother, I'm on fire!" Sanniang said to the eldest son-in-law with a smile as he was in charge of the stove.

    "Burn it up! Make it a big fire! Stir-fry is delicious!" The uncle turned around, picked up a lump of lard with a spatula and threw it into the pot.

    Mixed oil?  Today can be regarded as a long experience.

    "Grandpa, what does it mean to stir-fry vegetables with mixed oil?" I stood by the pot and stared at my uncle's every move seriously.

    "Fried vegetables with mixed oil are more fragrant, especially when frying vegetarian dishes, or when cooking fish, adding some lard will make it more fragrant." The uncle said to me while operating.

    ?The oil temperature is 70% hot, and the prepared meat slices are quickly poured into the pot.There was a sizzling sound, and the meat slices coated with gorgon powder were quickly shaped under the action of high temperature, and the color gradually changed from pink and tender to white.

    It's this moment!  The eldest son-in-law had already held the corner of the Shau Kei, and with a flick of his hand, all the lettuce slices in the Shau Kei were poured into the pot, and were quickly scattered by the spatula. The fat from the pork was mixed into the lettuce, and the surface of the green bamboo shoots was covered with fat.  It looks more crystal clear and intriguing.

    Immediately afterwards, the soaked wild black fungus was also poured into the pot.  Fungus into the pot, the whole kitchen becomes lively.  After being exposed to high temperature, the fungus makes a beeping sound, and the body is tumbling, like a black swan dancing in a pot.

    After the fungus and lettuce slices are fully mixed, the scallions cut into short sections are also pushed into the pot. Just stir fry twice, and the rich scallion fragrance will be released.

    Add salt and monosodium glutamate to the pot, after a simple seasoning, thicken the paste, put it on the pot, and a plate of light and delicious green bamboo shoots and fungus meat slices is a success!

    Immediately afterwards, the eldest son-in-law fried twice-cooked pork, sweet peppers and other dishes.

    After a lot of busy work, only today's protagonist is left: fish!

    As a professional chef, how can you not have your own specialties?

    It just so happens that the eldest son-in-law is best at fish!  What hot pot fish, sliced ??fish, fish with pickled cabbage, sweet and sour fish, all of them are no problem!  And what I¡¯m going to do today is called watercress fish!

    Just from the name, you can tell that this fish uses watercress as the main seasoning.

    Before cooking the fish, the uncle took a short break for 2 minutes. It seemed that he wanted to take a breather in advance. After all, the high-intensity cooking had lasted for nearly half an hour.

    And watercress fish is a very tricky dish!

    ? After a short rest, put the fish into the pot and cook in boiling water. After the fish is fully cooked, remove it and put it on a plate for later use. Reserve part of the water for cooking the fish for later use.

    Wash the pot, pour oil, it is still mixed oil.

    After the oil is 80% hot, the watercress is put into the pot, and after the aroma is fried, a bowl of chopped pickled peppers and ginger is poured into the pot, and then the minced ginger and garlic are added and stir-fried.

    Put the soy sauce into the pot, add sugar, and vinegar. As for the ratio, I have no idea at all. It is my limit to be able to recognize the types of condiments from the uncle's quick technique.

    Put minced green onion into the pot, salt and monosodium glutamate into the pot in turn, thicken the sauce, the thick soup exudes a hot and sour aroma, and is evenly poured on the surface of the fish.

    Finally, sprinkle a little salt beard (the native coriander here is more intense than ordinary coriander.), a plate of watercress fish with full color, fragrance and reverie is completed!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
