20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 949
Xiaohong asked Chen Hui: "Chen Hui, where were you when you were young?"

Chen Hui said: "Let's go with my dad, but I have stayed in many places. I stayed in Longjiang for a longer time. Otherwise, my studies will not be bad. I always transfer schools. It's strange if I can do well."

The uncle came out of the convenience store with a cigarette between his teeth: "Xiaowei, Xiaohui, Xiaohong, are you off work?"

The three of them called "Master", and Xiao Hong asked, "Is the business going well, Mr.?"

The uncle smiled and said, "It's better than the original farming. It's good. Would you like something to eat?"

Uncle and the others used to coax children to give snacks. At that time, everything was lacking, and a piece of candy was a great thing.

The three laughed and shook their heads and said they would not eat it. Xiaohong said, "Hey, sir, do you have canned meat here? It's not luncheon meat, it's the kind with soup."

The uncle looked back into the store and said, "Yes, there are several kinds. I don't remember which ones are made. Do you want it? The iron box made in Shanghai is better. I'll get it for you." Turning around and entering the store inside.

Xiaowei asked Xiaohong: "Do you want to eat canned food?"

Xiaohong said: "It seems that I haven't eaten for a long time, but I suddenly remembered it."

Chen Hui said: "I still like canned fish, but meat is not as good as fresh meat, right?"

Xiaohong said: "Each has its own taste, can steamed potatoes and eggplants be the same as stewed ones?"

Xiaowei said: "The canned food is steamed at high temperature, and the taste is really different. It turns out that I can eat canned fruit several times throughout the year. Don't even think about meat or fish. Xiaohong's family conditions are better, and those who have eaten meat I've never eaten fish before."

Chen Hui said: "I always ate it when I was a child, but now I seldom eat it. I'm really hungry. I'll buy two canned fish." He stepped into the convenience store.

Canned food was still the main force in the non-staple food market in this era, unlike later, few people ate it.

After a while, the uncle came out with five boxes of canned meat, and Chen Hui came out with two boxes of canned fish. Chen Hui said, "Xiaowei, I don't want money."

Xiaowei went over and said: "Master, you should calculate and collect the money. This is a business, so you have to follow the rules. Even if you take things home by yourself, you'd better calculate and put the money in, so that the final account will be accurate." , anyway, in the end, it’s all yours.”

The uncle said: "I will charge you any money for the canned food you eat. Take it."

Xiaowei said: "That's not okay, who among us can lose this little money? We can't break the rules. Come on, I'll get it. I haven't got this equipment yet."

The cash registers in supermarkets these days are very simple, with a nine-inch black-and-white bulkhead display and a DOS cursor system.In China, barcodes were only fully implemented in June 92. At present, there are still many products without barcodes, which require manual input of codes in stores, which is quite troublesome, but in the eyes of people in this era, it is quite high-tech.

Enter the code, click OK, the result will be displayed on the screen, and the drawer with change below will pop open automatically.

At this time in 92, canned food was still a high-consumption commodity. A box of canned braised pork cost six to seven yuan, and a box of Meilin luncheon meat was 11 yuan, which was really expensive.

After paying the money, the three of them bid farewell to the uncle and carried the cans to the yard. When they reached the door, they saw Chen Xiao and Geng Hui holding their children and talking in front of the garage. The two little guys leaned forward with their legs in their mother's arms. You leaned over, you touched my face, I patted your head, and said something I didn't understand.

Chen Xiao saw the three of Xiaowei coming over, and took a look: "What is this for? Buying these canned food."

Xiaohong ran over to tease the two children: "If you want to eat, buy it, I'm hungry."

Chen Xiao stuffed Xiao Xiaohui into Xiao Hong's arms, and said, "Eat it, what's so delicious about the broken stuff? Are you short of meat? People say that canned sausages are all rice pork, which will make you full of big worms." .”

Xiaowei asked: "What are you two doing standing here?"

Geng Hui said: "Let's go for a walk and let the children blow the air."

Several people walked towards the main building together.

Xiaowei's mother, Aunt Wang, and the cooking aunt were packing up and preparing dinner. Xiaowei put the can on the chopping board and turned it around, saying: "Come on, I'll make a stew, it's been a long time. Mom Are there a lot of ribs?"

Xiaowei's mother said: "Yes, you can use it. If you make it here, don't make it here. It's all for food anyway."

Xiaowei said, "What are you going to do?"

Aunt Wang stood up and washed her hands, and said, "What else can I do, stew some potatoes or radishes."

Xiaowei said, "Forget it, I'll stew it."

Auntie Cooking said with a smile: "The name of this dish is also strange now. It can be fried casually or stewed randomly. I don't know who started it."

Xiaowei's mother said: "Isn't it just a random stew, a messy stew together."

Xiaowei found a stew pot, filled half a pot of bone soup in it, turned it on, and then took a small pot to get a few potatoes, some beans, a few eggplants, five or six green peppers and two tomatoes, Wash and set aside.Cut some scallions and ginger slices, patted a few cloves of garlic and threw them into the soup, wrapped some pepper star anise in gauze, put it in, and covered it.

I found another small bowl, chopped some chopped shallots, minced garlic, and minced parsley for later use.

The ribs are pre-cooked and ready to use.

Light another stove, sit on a frying spoon, apply base oil, put the washed kidney beans in and stir-fry, add some soy sauce when the beans change color, add a spoonful of bone soup, once the soup is boiled, turn off the stove, Pour the beans in the frying spoon into the stew pot together with the soup.

He took a small spoon and dug the potatoes into the pot one by one with the spoon. The eggplant and pepper were torn by hand. The tomato was torn apart first, and the juice was squeezed into the pot. After boiling, add salt, soy sauce, a little sugar, and put in the ribs.

There is no requirement for this, and meat is also fine.

Try not to cut potatoes and eggplants with a knife. If you need to cut them with a knife, soak them in water for a while, otherwise the cut will turn red and smell rusty.

When it was fully boiled, Xiaowei brought a can of braised pork, cut open the iron sheet, poured the can into the pot, turned down the heat and put the lid on.Just simmering on such a small fire, as long as the pot is not dry for a long time, the better it tastes.

Generally, it is enough to stew for half an hour to four to 10 minutes. The soup should be added slowly at one time, and no soup or water should be added in the middle.

If you use fresh ribs, you should cook the ribs first. After the ribs are cooked, just add them to the soup without taking them out.

When the soup is concentrated and thickened, add chicken essence or monosodium glutamate, pour in the prepared minced green onion and minced garlic, stir well, turn off the heat and put it in a bowl, sprinkle with minced coriander, and an authentic stew is ready.

Adding canned meat makes the stir-fry thick and fresh.If you like spicy food, you can add some dried red peppers to the soup at the beginning.

The rice over there has been served, and the dishes are almost fried, Xiaowei put the stew on the table, Xiaohong sniffled: "It's really delicious."
