Chapter 13 - Steamed Grouper
Zhou Shi quickly sliced the **** and green onion, and then stuffed the green onion and **** slices into the belly of the fish.
Zhou found a large plate that could hold the grouper, and placed sliced ginger and a few pieces of green onion at the bottom of the plate. Put on the grouper, then shred the scallions and **** and spread it over the grouper.
Zhou Shi poured another spoonful of oil on the fish, then took out the steamed lobster with vermicelli and vermicelli, and replaced the grouper.
“I’ll eat this lobster later. Now you wait, or else you won’t be able to eat it after eating for a while, you know?” Mr. Zhou told Chen Xunyang and the others.
“Lieyang, wash the rice, let’s make some porridge first.” Because food is quite expensive now, it is impossible for everyone to entertain guests with steamed rice. After all, they are not rich people.
When Zhou Shi was steaming the grouper, he opened another large pot that had boiled water, then asked Chen Lieyang to wash the rice, and then began to cook the porridge.
However, Zhou did not cook porridge casually. She also put the cleaned lobster heads in for seasoning, and prepared to make shrimp head porridge.
After working for a few hours, when the sky gradually darkened, Chen Tiezheng went to invite people over for dinner.
Chen Tiezheng first went to the houses of several respected old people in the village, and invited them over for dinner.
“Third Master, you are the highest-ranking elder in our Chen family. Now that I’m back, my daughter was born, and this is a happy event. I want to ask you to support me.” Chen Tiezheng said sincerely.
Qianwan Village is a village of miscellaneous surnames. There are people with various surnames in the village, but after many years of development, the Chen surname is also a strong family.
The third master is the highest-ranking elder in the Chen family. He is in his seventies this year, and his body is healthy.
The third master can still enjoy his old age so comfortably in this war-torn era because his descendants are promising and filial enough.
Such a fortunate and sensible old man, Chen Tiezheng would of course invite him to the house to support the scene.
The third master is also very kind to Chen Tiezheng, because Chen Tiezheng has been very kind to everyone since he was a child, and the old people like him very much.
What’s more, Chen Tiezheng has been a soldier for so many years, defending the family and the country for many years, and the old people like him even more.
“Okay, I heard that your father and son have hit a lot of good stuff today. I will also try the old man.” The third master nodded with a smile and accepted Chen Tiezheng’s invitation.
“Uncle Xinping, too.” Chen Tiezheng said to the middle-aged man next to the third master.
The middle-aged Chen Xinping is the youngest son of the third master, that is, he is only ten years older than Chen Tiezheng.
Chen Xinping is still a village cadre. Although he is not the village head, he has some say.
After inviting the third master and Chen Xinping, Chen Tiezheng said to let them hurry over, and he left after going to invite others.
Chen Xinping looked at Chen Tiezheng’s hurrying back for a while, then came back to look at the third master and said, “Father? Let’s go?”
“Well.” The third master stood up and walked towards Chen Tiezheng’s house with the help of his younger son.
Chen Tiezheng invited ten people this time, the third master and Chen Xinping, the village chief and his son, two other senior elders in the village, and his own brothers of Chen Tiezheng.
Ten people arrived at Chen’s house, and the table of Chen’s house was already full of dishes and various delicacies.
The Zhou family specially divided some food and put it in the house for Yu and the children to eat together, while the men ate it in the yard.
Anyway, the men still drink. Although the weather is a bit cold now, it is not icy and snowy, and they are not afraid of freezing.
This time, Mr. Zhou showed his skills and made a table full of spicy swimming crab, steamed lobster with garlic vermicelli, steamed grouper, braised pork, stir-fried pork with beans, braised fish, stir-fried sweet potato leaves with garlic, scrambled eggs with leeks, and wolfberry Lobster porridge and crucian carp radish soup.
Of course, there are not many dishes, but the portion is very generous.
“Tie Zi’s family, drink a little of this crucian carp radish soup, it’s good for your body.” Mrs. Zhou filled a bowl of soup for Mrs. Yu and persuaded him when he handed it to Mr. Yu.
“Crucian carp soup is milk, and radishes are eaten in winter, how about you try it.” Zhou said.
“Okay, thank you auntie.” Yu took the soup bowl obediently and drank the soup one bite at a time.
“Come and eat too, how about Grandma Su’s craftsmanship?” Seeing that Yu drank the soup, Zhou began to take care of Chen Lieyang and the others to eat.
“Well, Grandma Su’s cooking is delicious.” Chen Xunyang was very happy to eat, and there was a little bit of food on his mouth.
“Eat more if it’s delicious.” Zhou Shi smiled and said, “But you can’t eat more of these crabs. Crabs are cold food, and children will hurt their stomachs if they eat too much.”
“I, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten so many good things. We haven’t eaten such good things since my family’s Su Shi left.” Zhou said with emotion.
“If it wasn’t for the blessing of Nuan Nuan girl, our grandparents and grandchildren wouldn’t know when they would be able to eat such delicious food.” Zhou Shi said with a smile.
After Mr. Yu finished a bowl of crucian carp and radish soup, he slowly ate porridge with wolfberry and shrimp. After listening to Mr. Zhou, he also smiled and said, “We haven’t eaten it for a long time.”
“In these years, Lieyang’s father has not been at home. Lieyang and the others are very young. Maybe they haven’t eaten so much meat for a long time.” Yu said with a smile.
“Yeah, it’s all because Tiezi has come back, and your life won’t be as hard as before.” When Mr. Zhou mentioned Chen Tiezheng, he thought of his son Su Shi, who was said to have lost his life. , I feel very depressed.
If it weren’t for the three-year buffer period, she would be even more gaffe today.
“Auntie will also have that day. When Su Qiao grows up, you will be able to enjoy the happiness.” Yu hurriedly comforted.
When Mr. Zhou was told this by Mrs. Yu, he also looked at his grandson, who was sitting beside him eating seriously, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
“Yeah, when my family grows up obediently, I can enjoy happiness.” Zhou said with a smile.
“It’s all liberated now, the country has been established, and there won’t be so much suffering in the future.” Zhou shi smiled happily.
She always believed that the reason why her son had an accident was because of the war in the country, and it was the fault of the Japanese devils.
What the Zhou family didn’t know was that even though the country had been established now, this period of time was not peaceful.
The women and children in the house had a great time eating, while Chen Lieyang, who was 13 years old, and Chen Chaoyang, who was 10 years old, stayed by their father’s side to help the guests.
Everyone who came to the banquet more or less brought some gifts to Chen Tiezheng’s house, which was considered to be a blessing to Nuan Nuan.
The big guy couldn’t help being surprised when he saw that Chen Tiezheng’s house had prepared so many and such a sumptuous dish.
“Tiezi, why do you prepare so much food? With so much fish and shrimp meat, your family is not so rich, why do you prepare so much?” The third master looked at the rich crab, fish and shrimp meat on the table, disapprovingly To Chen Tiezheng.
“Your family’s life is not easy, why do you prepare so many things?” In fact, the third master thinks that Chen Tiezheng’s family is not rich, but he is prepared to do so much for the sake of a daughter’s washing three. good.
The third master is not the kind of person who values sons over women, but after all, he is an elder, and he all follows the ancient ideas. He thinks that the son is the root, so the third master thinks that he will not abuse his daughter, but he will not spoil it so much.
