A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

I entered the kitchen just now because I was anxious to confirm what the fragrance was, and I didn't notice the changes in the kitchen. Even when I brought something in for the second time, I was only looking at the pot. I didn't feel as much of a shock as this time when I brought in the bamboo basket.

Shen Jiaren held the basket and walked to the stove step by step. She couldn't help but ask, is this her kitchen?

Is your kitchen so big?

Even more, where did you find this cutting board?

And this knife, where did it come from?

And those things on the table next to the stove, where did they come from? ?

Liu Hui looked at Shen Jiaren as if she was entering the kitchen for the first time. "These things are from the things I sent you last time. When I was looking for things in the Westinghouse warehouse, I found these things stacked together. You didn't take them out, so I took them out and washed them while I was cleaning the kitchen just now. They will be convenient for you to use later."

Shen Jiaren answered without saying a word, looking at the chopped peppers and ginger on the chopping board, as well as the various jars next to them.

"What you see now are what I just brought over. They will be used when cooking later."

Shen Jiaren could only nod silently. After all, at this moment, the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make.

"Well, shall I sit here and help you?

I see you are using a wood stove, it must be inconvenient for you to add fuel to the fire by yourself, can I stay here and help you add fuel to the fire?"

After listening to Shen Jiaren's words, Liu Hui asked doubtfully, "Really? Are you sure you can add fuel to the fire?"

After all, he hadn't used the kitchen in such a long time. He just placed the things there as they were brought here. As for him, he said he could add fire, but the authenticity of this is questionable.

Shen Jiaren looked at Liu Hui's questioning tone and expression, and couldn't help but say a little embarrassedly, "I didn't use the kitchen, just because I came back from work all day and was too tired to use the wood stove. I mostly used coal stoves and casseroles. And you saw the seasoning just now, one part is in the kitchen and one part is in the outer room. This proves that at least I cook, but the place where I cook is not fixed."

"Okay, then you can do as I say later.

See where that fire tongs is?

See the pile of firewood behind you? I just sorted it out and put it into small bundles, and there are also firewood. There are also pine needles in the back. You can put whatever I tell you to put in later, okay?"

"Yeah, sure. Trust me."

Shen Jiaren sat in front of the stove and watched Liu Hui's hands moving non-stop, cutting fish, ribs, meat, and chopping pork elbows.

In a short while, the stove was filled with all kinds of bowls and basins.

"Xiao Shen, where is the rapeseed oil you bought from the supply and marketing cooperative? Is this all you have?"

"No, there are more. They are in the Westinghouse warehouse."

"Go get it, we'll need it later."

"Oh oh" After Shen Jiaren answered, she quickly ran to the west room, took out the rapeseed oil that was piled there last time from the corner of the west room warehouse, and brought it to the kitchen.

Liu Hui looked at the oil bottle that Shen Jiaren brought over and asked, "Have you not eaten any oil recently?"

Shen Jiaren didn't expect Liu Hui to be so attentive and remember how much oil she bought before, so she quickly replied, "No, I mostly cook it."

"That's great. I guess all this oil will be used soon. When you get your rice, remember to put the sauce under the rice, otherwise people will notice that you used too much oil."

"oh oh."

"This sauce I made for you, you need to use oil. If you don't have enough oil, it won't taste good."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. As long as it tastes good, that's fine. Look what you want, I'll get it for you.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative these two times and bought a lot of things."

"No need, I've brought everything I need from our house."

Shen Jiaren nodded and said nothing more.

I watched Liu Hui brush the pot and pour oil into it.

After the pot was hot, Liu Hui asked Shen Jiaren to add some firewood into the stove and then stood by.

Shen Jiaren watched Liu Hui constantly putting things in and taking them out, and frying them over and over again. He then asked her to add more firewood to the stove and this time asked her to stand outside the kitchen.

Before Shen Jiaren could wonder why he had to stand outside the kitchen this time, she saw Liu Hui scoop out some of the oil in the pot and then start putting things into the pot. At first, he might have put garlic and ginger, and the smell was not very strong. After putting some black things in, it was still okay. At this time, only the fragrance came out. Before Shen Jiaren could relax, she saw Liu Hui pouring a lot of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns into the pot. In an instant, the spicy and numbing smell rushed into her ears and nose, choking Shen Jiaren and making her cough a few times. Then, with tears and snot streaming down her face, she ran to stand under the awning in the main room.

After hearing Shen Jiaren coughing, Liu Hui laughed a few times and then increased the speed of stirring with the spatula in his hand. It seemed that it would be difficult for Shen Jiaren to come back and add more firewood. After Liu Hui added firewood into the stove himself, he began to stir the contents of the pot with the spatula.

Shen Jiaren stood under the awning of the main house, smelling the smell coming from the kitchen. From the spicy and numb smell, it slowly turned into the aroma of meat. Shen Jiaren was really curious about what the meat smell was this time.

Shen Jiaren's nose was choked just now, and she couldn't smell what kind of meat it was, so she was even more curious about what kind of meat was fried. But Shen Jiaren thought about the spicy stimulation she had just received, so she gave up and stood honestly in the yard. She believed that Liu Hui would definitely be able to handle everything.

Shen Jiaren moved a small stool and sat under the awning, smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen and listening to the sound of the spatula stirring. At this moment, she was even more grateful that she had moved out of the educated youth point so early, otherwise, with so many people living together every day, would she have such a good time as she has now, smelling the fragrance of fried meat.

Shen Jiaren sat in the yard for a long time, thinking that she couldn't wait any longer. She would pick out the pine nuts later and let Liu Hui take some back. After all, she still had a lot.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiaren started knocking the pine cones "ta, tap, tap" again.

I don’t know how much time has passed. All Shen Jiaren could think of was that she had smelled this pungent smell of chili pepper six times.

Shen Jiaren was sitting in the yard daydreaming about what Liu Hui was doing in the kitchen. Not only was there a constant aroma coming out, but more importantly, the pot was choked six times.

"Xiao Shen, bring the dumplings you brought back today to the kitchen."

When Shen Jiaren heard Liu Hui calling her, she quickly agreed, "Yes, wait a moment."

After saying that, Shen Jiaren hurried to the west warehouse and went to the kitchen with a bowl of dumplings.

As soon as Shen Jiaren entered the kitchen, she saw several pieces of pork, half a chicken, and even a few ribs and large bones hanging on the beam in the kitchen.

There were a few pots of red vegetables on the chopping board on the table. I didn’t know what they were, but they smelled delicious.

When Shen Jiaren put the bowl on the stove, she found that there were various kinds of meat in a bowl on the stove. They were bright red. Shen Jiaren swallowed several times when she saw it.

"Don't look at it. That's what I've reserved for you. It includes fish chunks, chicken chunks, tofu chunks, some pork elbows and pork. Considering your appetite, they've all been chopped into smaller pieces. And considering that you've already eaten dumplings today, I've only given you a little bit of each. Go ahead and enjoy it.

The taste when it’s just made is different from the taste when it’s been kept for a while. See what you like.”
