There is a married man

After the sacrifice, it was time for the two of them to clean up and return home.

"I didn't eat breakfast, let's eat early at noon today. If you feel hungry, there are still a lot of wedding cakes left in the room." Chen Liang felt that he couldn't help Ai Qing, because he had to sacrifice, so he couldn't be ahead of his ancestors to eat, so I had to wrong the other party.

"I'm fine, I'm not very hungry. Are you going to the kitchen to cook now?" For Ai Qing who studies and works every day in modern times, missing a breakfast is really not a big deal.

"Well, there should be a lot of food left after getting married yesterday. If you are tired, go back to your room and rest."

"I'm not tired, so can I go cook with you?" Ai Qing felt embarrassed, Chen Liang was always so gentle to himself, and he didn't want to make himself tired, so how could he be lazy, not to mention that he didn't Not a lazy person, "I often cook at home, don't worry." Afraid that the other party would doubt her cooking skills, Ai Qing hurriedly answered.

Looking at those nervous and expectant eyes, Chen Liang couldn't refuse, "Oh, let's go."

The layout of most of the buildings in the village is very similar to that of courtyards in northern China, surrounded on all sides, forming closed and independent courtyards.The same is true of Chen Liang’s house. The entire courtyard faces south and is symmetrically arranged along the north-south longitudinal axis. There are stone steps in front of each house. There is a century-old tree in the center of the courtyard. It is very comfortable to sleep on it; next to it is an osmanthus tree with small pale yellow flowers, which is rich and fragrant.

The north room of the courtyard is the main room, and there are three rooms in total. He and Chen Liang’s new house is in the main room. Ai Qing likes this very much, because through the rear window of the room, one can clearly see a river flowing slowly from west to east. On the other side of the stream is a piece of lush trees, which makes people feel at ease and comfortable.There are two wing rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard. The west side is a guest room, which is used for visiting relatives and friends during festivals. The two rooms on the east side are used for storing groceries. The only well is located nearest the kitchen.

The kitchen of Chen Liang’s house is not too small. The stove is made of bricks. He sits facing east and west, squatting in the right corner of the entrance door. Three iron pots, one large, one medium and one small, are set up on the stove. There is a kettle inlaid on the wall of the stove in the room, which is usually filled with water. As long as the fire is turned on, the water can be boiled by the residual heat, which is very convenient for washing dishes and drinking; A masonry chimney sticks out half a meter from the roof.There is a water tank 3 or 4 meters away from the stove, and a three-layer cabinet is placed in the corner. The top layer is mainly used for food, the middle layer is for various spices, and the bottom layer is for various Kitchenware and bowls and pans, chopsticks and spoons, etc.

Ai Qing suddenly discovered that besides the door the two had just entered, there was actually a wooden door behind the kitchen. After asking Chen Liang, she found out that this door led to the backyard.The backyard is very large, with a lot of poultry and a vegetable field. The toilet is at the corner of the backyard.

After roughly seeing the environment of Chen Liang's house, Ai Qing turned his attention back to lunch, and Chen Liang was already lighting up the stove.

"Why don't I cook lunch, and let you try my cooking." Ai Qing is indeed proud of food, after all, he has been in a modern Chinese restaurant for a long time. The wet nurse has also learned a lot, cooking a good meal will never be a problem for her, and for some reason, Ai Qing feels that she needs to show her true skills especially for this meal today.

"Well, then you come, I'll light the fire. The seasonings are on the second floor of the cabinet." Chen Liang didn't object either, anyway, his cooking skills are not so good, besides, seeing Ai Qing's confident appearance, I believe it won't disappoint .

After looking at a lot of materials in the kitchen, Ai Qing decided to make three dishes, one soup, and a dish of cold salad for lunch.

"Can you eat spicy food?" You have to ask, if you don't like it, it's a waste.

"Well, my mother's hometown is famous for its chili peppers. My mother always loved to cook us spicy dishes, so I also liked to eat them since I was a child." Chen Liang replied earnestly, but he didn't realize that Ai Qing was already regarded as a person in his words. My own "daughter-in-law".

"Hehe, mother's hometown is also rich in chili peppers. What a coincidence, my previous hometown is also." Ai Qing didn't find the problem in her words, and replied cheerfully, sighing that it was really destined.

"My previous hometown?" Isn't Ai Qing's home in Gutian Village? I've never heard that Gutian Village is rich in peppers.

"Oh, hehe, I mean my mother." He stuck out his tongue mischievously, almost ruining himself.

"I see." Chen Liang didn't intend to delve into this issue.

After the crisis was resolved, Ai Qing devoted herself wholeheartedly to the meal.

The three dishes Ai Qing plans to cook are spicy boiled fish, braised pork and shredded hot and sour potatoes, and one soup and one cold dish are simple tomato and egg soup and cold shredded chicken.

We got married last night, so the materials at home were naturally abundant, and the villagers also gave us a lot, including a fresh freshwater fish.Ai Qing, who is very good at cooking, did not dare to kill fish and scrape the scales, so he asked Chen Liang to do it, and Ai Qing took advantage of this time to prepare the seasoning needed, and even beat an egg to pour out the egg white In another small bowl.Chen Liang is very powerful, and he is very skilled at scraping the fish scales, and he was done in a short while.After the fish was cleaned, Ai Qing cut the fish into thin slices, marinated them with pepper, freshly prepared egg whites, sliced ​​ginger, scallions, starch and salt in a large basin.Then pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot, add the remaining ginger slices, two spoons of Chinese prickly ash and a small half bowl of dried peppers to sauté until fragrant. After the fragrance comes out, pour a large bowl of water into the pot and put the fish Boil the bone fish head together until boiling, then put the freshly marinated fish fillets into the pot.At the same time, put the bean sprouts in a large colander and boil them in boiling water in a small pot next to them. Then pick them up and put them in the cleaned small pot where the fish fillets have just been marinated. Scoop up all the fish in the pot and pour them into the pot. In a small pot, sprinkle green onion and chili powder on the surface.Then came the last procedure—spicy oil. Ai Qing poured out the water in the small pot and wiped it dry, then poured more oil into it, added two spoonfuls of Chinese prickly ash and a small half bowl of dried chilies, and sautéed until fragrant. After the fragrance is released, scoop it up with a spoon and sprinkle it on the fish fillets, and finally add coriander, and an authentic spicy boiled fish is completed.

Although Chen Liang has been cooperating with Ai Qing's request to burn the fire, his nose is uncontrollable. He greedily sucks the mellow fragrance around the tip of his nose, and he firmly believes in Ai Qing's "excellent craftsmanship".

After finishing the largest boiled fish, the next few dishes will be much easier.After Ai Qing asked Chen Liang to clean the cauldron, he cut the pork into pieces, added sugar, and put it in the pan, stirring it continuously until the thick juice came out, then added some salt and it was ready.The hot and sour potato shreds are also done quickly.Ai Qing took out the chopped tomatoes and the eggs left over from the boiled fish just now, stirred them well, put them in hot water, and the tomato and egg soup was ready in no time.Originally, I wanted to make another shredded chicken salad, but was stopped by Chen Liang, who was already hungry, saying that the two of them couldn't eat so much at all, and these were just right.

Ai Qing thought about it, and felt that it was enough, so she asked Chen Liang to turn off the fire.

The rice in the innermost pot of the stove has already been cooked.

After serving the rice to Chen Liang, he couldn't wait to start it.

The boiled fish is fresh and tender, numb but not dry, and it tastes delicious when paired with crispy bean sprouts; the braised pork is fat and thin, and when you bite it down, your mouth is full of sweet fragrance, which is very smooth and tender; the shredded potatoes are hot and sour, very appetizing .

The two of them had a great time eating this meal. They cleaned up the pot of boiled fish, and Ai Qing was so full that she didn't want to move at all. In the end, Chen Liang cleaned up the dishes.

Chen Liang sighed again, Ai Qing is really a treasure!
