A duck's paw is better than a bear's paw, there is an old saying in the Shi family. Duck feet have many tendons, thick skin and less meat. It has many tendons and is chewy, the skin is thick and contains soup, and the meat is less and it is easy to taste.
Shi Changqing picked up a piece of sauced duck paw as calmly as possible, put it gently in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Not bad, it¡¯s the taste of my hometown. The only shortcomings are that there are a little too many chili peppers, not enough clove flavor, and there is also a lack of meat and cardamom Oh, the meat and cardamom were improved and added after the family moved to Indonesia.
The ancestors of the Shi family started their business by cooking ducks, especially the secret sauce of duck feet. After arriving in Indonesia, they also relied on this craft to make a fortune again. In the process of inheritance, adjustments and improvements will also be made according to the environmental climate and audience tastes, such as adding Indonesian specialty nutmeg and cardamom.
I remember when I was young, all the children in the Shi family had to learn how to make sauced duck feet, and the ingenious fourth sister was particularly good at it. By the way, this is the craftsmanship of the fourth sister! I put more chili peppers because the sea is very humid, right?
Fourth sister Shi Changqing's mouth trembled. Sixty-three years have passed. Is the fourth sister still alive? Since childhood, Shi Changqing has had a particularly good relationship with her fourth sister. The fourth sister married into the gangster Da Dao Tang. In anger, his father ordered the family to cut off all contact with the fourth sister. Shi Changqing, who was less than ten years old, secretly ran away to the mountains.
Everything on the mountain is so fresh and exciting. The children on the mountain are free and happy. They fight without punishment, and those who fail to win are punished. Originally, Shi Changqing hated her brother-in-law for stealing her fourth sister, but seeing that her fourth sister was eating well, Shi Changqing forgave her brother-in-law generously, especially after she found out that her brother-in-law could fly. Shi Changqing also secretly made up his mind to learn Kung Fu, become taller than his brother-in-law, and be more handsome with a sword than his brother-in-law. More importantly, to grab a daughter-in-law as beautiful as the fourth sister
"Looking for Wu Shuang" ended abruptly when the brother-in-law was killed in battle. The last shot of the fourth sister is of her hiding in a cave, looking at her brother-in-law's leaving figure, her eyes determined and obsessed, and two lines of pure tears left behind silently. One hand was stroking her abdomen, and the other was reaching out to her brother-in-law. What was the fourth sister thinking at that time?
Shi Changqing has watched the movie many times, and yes, that is the Fourth Sister. Plump and sweet, smart and kind, sentimental and sensible, the actress from Taiwan brought the fourth sister to life, that is the fourth sister!
Joey also watched it many times with his grandfather, his eyes were red, and he repeatedly asked about his aunt's condition. In fact, Shi Changqing didn't know about these things at all, and he couldn't remember any more details. When the family left Zangma Mountain, Shi Changqing boldly asked his father, could he bring his fourth sister and three-year-old Xiaogui with him? The fourth sister is so pitiful. Xiao Guilai has no father, huh huh.
Father frowned, sighed and said nothing. The mother pointed outward, and Shi Changqing suddenly understood and ran up the mountain happily.
However, the fourth sister touched Shi Changqing's head and said after a long time, "Your brother-in-law is not dead. I have to wait for him here. If your brother-in-law comes back and cannot find me and the child, he will be anxious."
Shi Changqing walked away in despair. This was the last time he saw the fourth sister. Nothing was heard from him since.
Some fellow villagers with connections in China said that during the land reform in mainland China, all the people who had land at home were beaten to death. He was beaten to death in public. Many poor people gathered around to watch, shouting slogans of victory with great excitement. After shouting slogans, they divided the landlord's cattle, furniture, and wives. The division was uneven and they started fighting again
"Boss, is she in good health?" Shi Changqing stopped chewing and couldn't help but tremble at the corners of his mouth. I was afraid that even if I got the answer, the answer would not be in line with my expectations.
"The boss is in good health, but his legs and feet are not quite right" The two women looked at each other, not quite understanding what the old gentleman meant. You bought a duck and haven't left yet, why are you standing here rambling? He speaks in a strange tone. With gold-rimmed glasses, this outfit is not cheap, right?
"Old sir, do you need anything else?" At this time, a young woman walked out of the room. She looked smart and pretty.
The two women hurriedly went to recruit other customers. The business of "Shijia Laoya" was very good. Of course the boss is in good health, haha, the two boss ladies each gave birth to a big fat boy. Being lame is not a problem, right? At least you have two good legs, haha.
"I want to meet the boss. There's nothing wrong with the boss's legs, right?" Shi Changqing's heart was troubled, and he quickly comforted himself. The fourth sister is an eighty-one-year-old old lady. It's normal to have minor problems and she won't be bedridden. Isn¡¯t that amazing?
"The boss is in Zangma Mountain, go and meet him yourself!" The young woman seemed a little unhappy on her face.
"Oh, okay." Shi Changqing didn't know where he offended this junior. Should he give the child a gift?
"Sir, are you back from abroad? Are you related to the 'Shi Family Duck'?" A voice came from behind, and Shi Changqing looked back, feeling in a trance for a moment. How come this woman looks so much like the fourth sister?
In fact, sixty-three years have passed, and the shape of the fourth sister has changed.The image has long been blurred. While watching the movie, Shi Changqing overlapped the actor with the fourth sister in his memory. When I saw this woman again, it seemed like more memories were coming to me, and the impact was severe.
Could it be that this is the fourth sister¡¯s granddaughter? They have similar body and face shapes, but more of a temperament. Comparing this woman with the Taiwanese actress, there are many similarities, such as being considerate, being sweet and friendly. It's just that this woman is more graceful and wealthy, and also quite resolute and calm.
An inappropriate analogy, if these two people were twin sisters, the Taiwanese actress would be the younger sister, and the one in front of her would be the older sister.
This woman smiled kindly and looked about twenty-four or five years old. The two children he was holding looked a bit too big. It would be possible if she got married at the age of eighteen like the fourth sister. To be precise, the woman was holding a little girl. The little girl has a pair of big eyes and is spinning around. Another little boy followed the little girl, deliberately looking calm. Both kids are adorable.
"Sister-in-law!" The young woman who appeared earlier walked out of the counter, smiling broadly. He held two duck legs in his hand and gave them to the two children respectively. The little girl grabbed it and shouted sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie!" The little boy hesitated for a moment, but when his mother agreed, he also grabbed the duck leg and started eating it.
"Hello! My surname is Shi, and I just came back from the United States. If it's convenient, I hope to see the boss as soon as possible!" Shi Changqing smiled kindly. These two women are sisters-in-law, and they seem to be descendants of the fourth sister. Good thing! The fourth sister has many descendants, and her family has a great business.
"Mr. Shi, my name is Su Yan. You will meet the boss soon. Please come with me!" Su Yan invited with a smile, "Brother and sister, help me wrap two ducks. Xiao Shi will bring them up. Wrap two for Mr. Wang too. ." Su Yan saw Wang Haiyun not far away. Haiyun is passionate and capable, and he learns things quickly. Even if a person has gossip, his faults cannot cover up his faults.
Shi Changqing pulled Shi Joey to follow Su Yan, while Su Yan still held the little girl in his hand. Looking back at the little boy named Xiaoshi, he stood there waiting obediently, as if he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Shi Joey held his grandfather's hand and thought of his mother.
We walked out of the supermarket and entered a nearby foyer. The two front desk ladies in the foyer quickly stood up and bowed, shouting in unison, "Hello, Mr. Su!" Su Yantou agreed. Shi Changqing noticed the golden nameplate of "Oriental Electrical Appliances Group" on the foyer. Behind the front desk is a Chinese painting of the rising sun. The abstract Chinese painting was reduced and turned into the group's logo.
A receptionist opened the elevator door and sent four people into the elevator, which led directly to the top floor. Shi Changqing is used to being the chairman. The top floor is divided into various functional departments, which is busy and orderly. A young man passing by quickly greeted Su Yan softly, and Su Yan nodded in greeting. The young man waited for the guests to pass before leaving quickly. Shi Changqing felt that this was a large company with rules and efficiency. At least it looks like it can be big.
The chairman¡¯s room is very spacious and the decoration is relatively simple. There is an imposing bronze statue of Guan Gong inside the gate. Shi Changqing knows that Guan Gong is the God of Wealth and the patron saint of peace. He is very popular in Southeast Asia and is also worshiped in Chinatowns across Europe and the United States. Usually there are two types of Guan Gong statues: sitting and standing. The sitting statues are divided into sitting upright with beards supported and reading the Spring and Autumn Period at night. The standing sword has a knife, which is divided into a straight knife with an upward edge and a splitting knife with a downward edge. The straight knife protects the auspicious house, and the splitting knife drives away evil spirits. This is a standing statue with a straight sword.
"Wait a minuteit doesn't seem like what Mr. Guan is holding is the Qinglong Yanyue Sword?"
"Grandpa! This is Mr. Guan designed by my father. Isn't it amazing?" The little girl broke away from her mother and ran to Shi Changqing to introduce it. The little face is full of pride, or is it admiration? It seems that if Shi Changqing disagrees, the little girl will definitely fall out.
By the way, this is the Ghost Head Sword of Dadao Hall!
Even though Shi Changqing didn¡¯t remember it so clearly when he was a child, he watched the movie many times. Anyone who has watched the movie will never forget the rows of broadswords, let alone the broadsword in the hands of the boss, with the blood of the Japanese dripping from the knife. Shi Changqing was already certain that this little girl must be the great-granddaughter of the fourth sister. The fourth sister is the fourth generation living under the same roof!
"Awesome! Very awesome!" Shi Changqing did not disappoint the little girl. The little girl was very satisfied with Shi Changqing's performance, "Grandpa, my name is Xiaoduo, what is your name?"
"Xiaoduo, grandpa's name is Shi Changqing!" Shi Changqing bent down and hadn't laughed so warmly for a long time.
Before returning, Shi Changqing went to Chinatown to find out that gifts such as gold rings are very popular in mainland China. Anyway, whatever is valuable is what my mainland relatives like. Shi Changqing bought a small box of gold rings, but he did not expect that the fourth sister's family was prosperous and she had no special gifts for the children. Looking at the scale of this business, the fourth sister¡¯s family doesn¡¯t need this kind of gold ring!
"Mr. Shi, if I'm not wrong, you must be Shunzi's elder, right? Shunzi told me that his uncle's family went to Southeast Asia in his early years. Shunzi's name is Yu Genshun, and his father's name is ?Come on. "Su Yan just went out for a while and came back with a box of tea.
"Yes, I am Yu Guilai's uncle." Shi Changqing sat down on the sofa and looked at Su Yan like an elder. He was also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, who is in charge of such a large industry! But why didn't she call her "husband" or "lover" as is popular in mainland China, but "Shunzi"? Besides, Mr. Shi respectfully addresses outsiders, right?
"Shunzi is my father!" Xiaoduo sat next to Shi Changqing. It's one and a half meters long, and my mother says it's not appropriate to climb on the guest's lap.
"I just made a call. Shunzi is rushing here from Zangma Mountain. It will take about eighty minutes." Su Yan did not forget to invite the delicate girl next to Mr. Shi to sit down. The water in the induction cooker boiled, and Su Yan methodically made tea.
