Chapter 74 The Atmosphere Is Weird
Add lard, add ginger slices and wild onions to stir-fry, then add eel slices and start stir-frying with bamboo shovel. Because it is not an iron pot, the temperature drops too quickly after the eel slices are down, which causes the stir-frying to become frying. However, the current conditions are only enough.
As the eel slices in the pottery began to change color and curl, Chen Xu put a small handful of tender stems of dogwood. The dogwood was found by Chen Jiang when he heard that Chen Xu wanted to eat spicy food, so he went to the mountain to find it. In this era, people have started to use dogwood to season, but it seems that people don’t like spicy food very much.
Moreover, after taking it twice, Chen Xu found that the spicy food of dogwood is not authentic, it is a bit like a spicy Chinese medicine, which is a bit choking. If it is too old, it still has a hint of bitterness, but the spiced eel section will definitely not be able to use spicy seasonings, because there is no soy sauce and cooking wine to treat the fishy smell of eels.
Soon a slightly pungent and spicy smell came out. Then put a few pieces of crushed wild garlic, stir-fry again for a few more times, then pour in a little water, cover the pot and simmer for a while, and then start the pot.
"Hiss~ It smells so good!" The moment the lid of the pot was opened, a heat surged into the air. Yu Wuya was instantly conquered by the rich fragrance. He excitedly reached out and grabbed the bowl of the serving of the dish and said, "I'll serve the dish, I'll serve the dish!"
The moment Yu Wuya put the vegetable bowl on the table, he picked up a piece of it and stuffed it into his mouth with his hands.
"Uncle Yu steals food again!" Xing'er immediately started yelling.
"Hehe, girls also eat one!" Yu Wuya grabbed a piece and fed it into Xing'er's mouth, so two foodies, one big and one small, gathered around the table and studied this newly emerging dish one by one.
No one watched the fire anymore, Chen Xu smiled bitterly and went to put firewood by himself, then wiped his hands on the dirty clothes a few times and started making sweet and sour fish.
If you eat it, you won’t get sick. Now it’s the Qin Dynasty. The mountains and rivers are beautiful and everything is natural, green and pollution-free. You can’t find some toxic chemical pollutants in the soil. Therefore, Chen Xu is not very particular about it on weekdays, and even cooking requires high temperatures to be steamed and cooked, and all bacteria have been killed.
But his movements fell into the eyes of the woman in black, and his eyes looked even colder.
Soon ten minutes passed, Chen Xu uncovered the lid of the pot, and a rich and sweet smell of fish was emitted, spreading dozens of meters away. Yu Wuya had already stood by and stood with a big pottery bowl on his face and waited for a long time.
"Prepare to have a meal!" Chen Xu put the fish on the pot, then greeted him loudly, and Chen Jiang quickly came out of the room with his bowls and chopsticks in his arms.
Five people sat around a rough wooden table with four dishes on it.
Sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, hot eel slices, cold-fried ear roots.
These dishes are placed in the Qin Dynasty and even wealthy families will not be eaten often.
Meat is a very luxurious thing in this era, especially fish.
Although it seems that Chen Xu's family eats fish almost every day, it is very difficult for people elsewhere to eat a fish, because the fish live in the water and are very difficult to catch. Before Chen Xu travels through, it is difficult for the villagers of Xiaohe Village to get a fish. When he fell from the tree, Chen Jiang went to the river to catch fish. He didn't get anything for a while, but he was bitten by a snake.
Mencius once said: Fish is what I want, and bear's paw is what I want. You cannot have both. You can give up the fish and take the bear's paw.
This is the reason why fish and bear's paw cannot be obtained at the same time.
In the eyes of the ancients, fish is of the same level as the food of bear paw.
Although there are choices and choices, they are still full of entanglement. Although they reluctantly chose the bear's paw in the end, it does not mean that the value of the fish is lower than that of the bear's paw. It can only be said that if you choose one of the two, you must choose something. This is a worry that cannot be obtained at the same time, full of regret and helplessness.
There is another ancient Chinese character in China: fresh. From the structure of this character, we can see that the ancients believed that there were only two kinds of things that taste the most delicious, namely fish and mutton. From this, we can also see the status of fish in ancient food, which is very high.
"Um, it's delicious, delicious, fragrant, spicy and fresh..."
Yu Wuya was like a wild boar huddled his head in a bowl and ate wildly.
Xing'er was like a little pig burying her face in the rice bowl and eating it.
"Mom, eat!" Chen Xu also picked up his rice bowl and picked up the wheat for a whole day. He was already hungry and put his chest on his back.
"Miss Water, you can eat too!" Chen Jiang picked up the bowls and chopsticks to greet Shui Gingrou.
"Junior sister, eat it quickly. The dishes made by my beloved are delicious in the world. If you don't eat them, you will regret it!" Yu Wuya only remembered that he also brought a junior sister. He raised his head and smiled and gently picked up a hot eel slice for the water.
Shui gently stared at a few curly eel slices. I don’t know if he was so hungry that he couldn’t hold on or was attracted by the smell of the vegetables, but hesitated for a long time before he took off his face towel.
Chen Xu was always very curious about what this woman who looked at him like a piece of shit looked like. At this time, the face towel was opened. When he saw a face exposed with his own light, his face was instantly dull, and the chopsticks in his hand fell onto the table with a slight sound.
He was about sixteen or seventeen years old as he thought, but his cheeks were as white as mutton fat, with willow eyebrows, almond eyes, a beautiful nose and cherry mouth, delicate facial features, smooth skin, and a beautiful woman.
It can be said that Chen Xu grew up so old and had been a human being for two thousand years. He had never seen such a beautiful woman up close.
Of course, those beautiful picture software modified in later generations do not count.
"Hehe, benefactor, my junior sister in the water is pretty pretty!" Yu Wuya looked up and laughed dryly.
Chen Xu came to his senses and picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat them. His mood instantly became a little absent-minded.
This woman's name and appearance are indeed very compatible.
No wonder I have to cover my face towel all day long. This face is definitely a style that kills thousands of men in seconds. When going out, it can easily cause a large number of male hormones to lose control, and if you are not careful, you will be stolen and ruined by bandits.
Shui Gengrou glared at Yu Wuya coldly, then picked up an eel piece and put it in his mouth. After taking a bite, his delicate body shook slightly, then lowered his head and started to eat in small mouthfuls.
"Wow, Sister Shui is so beautiful, she is as beautiful as the Seven Fairies!" Xing'er was also stunned by Shui's gentle appearance when she took off her face towel.
Chen Jiang looked at his son, then looked at Water Gentou again, and then gently clamped a large piece of sweet and sour fish and a few braised pork ribs for the water, and his eyebrows and eyes were extremely gentle.
The atmosphere on the table was weird.
The meal was being eaten silently while constantly picking up food from each other.
All the dishes were eaten, and even a large bowl of cold-salted folded ear roots were eaten clean.
