Paradise

After Lin Yu washed up briefly, he came to the dining table with Zhou Ze, and the family of three had breakfast briefly.

Because someone came to the grocery store early in the morning to buy things, Lin Yu went to guard the store.

Zhou Ze chops firewood and cleans the yard, Lin Bao washes the dishes and feeds the chickens and ducks. A simple and ordinary day begins.

After the previous spring rain, the grass in the field grew a lot. After cleaning up the housework, Zhou Ze and Lin Bao went to the field with hoes to weed the grass. This is the most common labor for farmers.

They were busy until noon, when the two of them came out of the field and went to the neighboring village to cut two catties of meat from the butcher Chen, and bought the tofu along the way.

Zhou Ze also went to the river not far away to insert two fish and came back. When there are fish, chickens are also indispensable. The chickens at home are ready-made. Yesterday afternoon, Zhou Ze killed a little rooster that he grew up with. , the chicken has been cleaned, and it is ready to be stewed at noon today.

Zhou Ze caught the fish, which were quite big, each more than a foot long, and he was looking for them in the river. Lin Bao was very happy, and grabbed the two fishes, and went home happily all the way.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Bao went straight to the grocery store with two fish, came to Lin Yu, held up the two fish, and said with a smile, "Brother, look, this is the fish Brother Zhou caught in the river just now." , make braised fish for lunch today."

In the grocery store, Lin Yuzheng and Brother Liu Yun were squatting on the ground to feed the rabbits. There was a basket on the ground, and a pair of fluffy little rabbits were inside, leaning against each other, eating the grass leaves fed by the two of them. I'm used to it, and I'm not afraid of people at all.

Seeing that Lin Yu liked it, he stretched out his hand to touch a rabbit twice. The rabbit only moved its ears, but it didn't even hide. It didn't make him like it.

Seeing Lin Bao came back and hearing the sound, both Lin Yu and Brother Liu Yun looked up at the fish in his hand, with surprise on their faces. They all knew that there were fish in the river, but the fish in it were not. It is easy to catch, especially such a big fish, it is even more difficult to catch.

"This fish is so big!" Brother Liu Yun praised, and said, "This fish is big, but it is not easy to handle or cook. My mother made it many times and it was very fishy. We don't like it very much. This fish has a lot of spines, when I ate fish when I was young, my throat got stuck."

"That's because your family doesn't know how to do it. If this fish is cooked, it will be very delicious. You need to put various seasonings on the fish, and you need to marinate it to remove the fishy smell. After it is cooked, there is no fishy smell at all. Only fresh The taste, the meat is still very tender, it makes you love it more and more, Brother Zhou’s cooking is very delicious.” Lin Bao said, he remembered the fish that Zhou Ze cooked a few times before, and couldn’t help but start looking forward to the braised braised fish that he will make at noon today fish.

In the past, Lin Bao didn't like to eat fish, not to mention the fish's bones, but the meat had a strong smell. Since Zhou Ze cooked fish for him a few times, he liked to eat fish, especially braised fish.

Brother Liu Yun was a little greedy after what Lin Bao said, and he wanted to taste the taste of the braised fish he mentioned. He hadn't eaten delicious fish yet.

"Ayu, tell me how to cook the braised fish, I want to learn."

After saying this, Brother Liu Yun was a little discouraged again, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it. I can't even cook simple dishes well. It's either salty or muddled. It's useless to tell me."

Brother Liu Yun thinks that his talent is probably all in boxing. As a younger brother, he is much worse in other aspects, especially cooking. Although now that the day of marriage is approaching, his mother has already taught him how to cook every day, and the meals he cooks are only average and can be eaten. Occasionally, the fried dishes are very salty, and they will turn black... …

"Didn't you tell Er Feng of your family to cook? I'll tell you the method. After you get married, you can teach him, so that you can also eat braised fish in the future. However, this braised fish does need a lot of seasoning. It won’t taste good without it.” Lin Yu said, so he told Liu Yun the method he knew in detail.

Brother Liu Yun listened very carefully, and at the end he only said, "It's so complicated, there are so many things to put in, my mother just boiled or steamed with salt, at most put some hot oil, so many seasonings just bought It is very expensive, no wonder this fish is so delicious when made with seasoning. I have some of the seasonings you mentioned at home. After returning home, I told my mother to let her try it. Let's learn together."

Lin Yu saw that there were two fish in Lin Bao's hand. They are cooking at noon today, and one fish is enough. He wants to bring one to Brother Liu Yun, "Brother Yun, take this fish back , can be done at noon today."

"How can I have the nerve to take it? You give me something every time I come here, and I'm embarrassed to come." Brother Liu Yun said, waving his hands repeatedly to refuse.

"I don't always send you things. Isn't this what you sent me? If you don't accept the fish, I won't accept these things either." Lin Yu pointed to the rabbit and eggs beside him and said intentionally.

"Don't, don't, don't, these things are specially ordered by my mother and sent to you. If you don't accept them, my ass will suffer."

One sentence made Lin Yu laugh: "You are about to get married, and you still want to be spanked?!"

"The day before yesterday I overcooked the vegetables again, so I got hit by the sole of my mother's shoe. My mother said that if I don't hit, I won't have a long memory. In fact, she was just scaring me, and didn't hurt me..."

In the end, Brother Liu Yun came home with a fish. He didn't stay at Lin's house for too long, and he had to rush back to learn how to cook with his mother. These days, his mother asked him to learn how to cook every time he cooks. Yes, to prepare for life after marriage.He came to Lin's house this morning, specially to deliver eggs and rabbits, and birthday wishes.

The things and blessings have been delivered, "Ayu, I should go home." Brother Liu Yun said hello and left the Lin's house and walked to his own house, with a worried face on his face, because he was going home to learn how to cook again. Speaking of cooking, it is much more troublesome than boxing.

After Brother Liu Yun left, Lin Yu and the others closed the grocery store and started preparing lunch. At this time, Zhou Ze, who had returned to the yard, had already started preparing.

After showing off the fish, Lin Bao and Lin Yu came to the kitchen with the fish and helped Zhou Ze prepare meals.

Lin Yu followed, intending to help, but Lin Bao said, "Brother, today is your birthday, you don't have to do anything, just sit there and wait for the meal to be served. With me and Brother Zhou Woolen cloth."

Zhou Ze also smiled and said, "Yes, Ayu, you go to the side and rest, we will prepare the meal for today."

Lin Yu didn't leave and wanted to help, but Zhou Ze and the others wouldn't let him do anything, so he just followed and watched, seeing the two close relatives busy with so much care for him, Lin Yu was warmly moved in his heart.

After a lot of busy work by Zhou Ze and Lin Bao, four cold and four hot dishes were served on the table.Eight dishes filled the table, and the meals were extraordinarily rich. A pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms, a plate of braised pork, and a braised fish were placed in the middle of the table, which was particularly conspicuous and exuded bursts of tangy aroma. With a big movement of the index finger, the appetite is wide open.

The dishes were served, and finally Lin Bao, the younger brother, personally served a bowl of longevity noodles and placed them in front of Lin Yu, "Brother, happy birthday! This is the longevity noodles I made for you! Try it , see if it tastes good!"

Lin Yu looked down at the bowl of longevity noodles in front of him. A slender noodle in golden soup was coiled in the bowl. There were green vegetables on one side and two poached eggs on the other side. It was made by his younger brother, because during the final making of the noodles, Lin Bao took him out of the kitchen without letting him see, because he wanted to give him a surprise.

Lin Yu was very moved. Under Lin Bao's expectant gaze, he picked up one end of the noodles and carefully ate the whole noodle into his stomach one bite at a time.

Due to the customs of generations, the longevity noodles on birthdays are usually made into a whole stick, and birthday people need to eat a whole stick continuously, which indicates the auspiciousness of longevity and longevity. meaning.

Zhou Ze and Lin Bao didn't eat, they all looked at Lin Yu, watching him finish the longevity noodles bit by bit, with smiles on their faces.

"Brother, how about the noodles I made, are they still good?"

Lin Yu looked up and smiled at Lin Bao, and said, "It's delicious, this is the best noodle I've ever eaten."

"My younger brother has grown up and will make noodles for my elder brother." He reached out and touched Lin Bao's head, but Lin Bao didn't hide.

Lin Bao was very happy to be recognized for his labor success, "Brother, if you like it, I will make noodles for you in the future."

"Okay! As long as you are willing to do it, I love to eat it." Lin Yudao, reached out and picked up a chopstick of braised pork and put it in Lin Bao's bowl, "Don't look at it, I eat it, you also eat vegetables, eat more meat, I You seem to have lost weight recently."

"I'm not thin, I just grew taller, and I've grown taller again, hehe." When it comes to growing taller, Lin Bao is very happy, he is now the tallest of their friends.

"No wonder your trousers are short. It's time to make you new clothes." Lin Yu said, he had already put a piece of braised pork and a piece of chicken in Zhou Ze's bowl.

"Brother Zhou, eat more too. Thank you for your hard work today." Today's dishes are basically cooked by Zhou Ze, only the noodles and two cold dishes are made by Lin Bao, and Lin Yu watched the whole process.

"Ayu, try this fish, the meat here is tender."

After Zhou Ze picked out the most tender piece of meat from the fish's belly, he gave it to Lin Yu. The two looked at each other and smiled, with deep friendship in their eyes, and felt that the food in their mouths was even more delicious.

A sumptuous lunch, the family had a great time, and everyone was very satisfied.
