Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 24

After making the fish soup, Zhang Tao made two other dishes. One was to fry the fish pieces and then stir-fry them with pepper and celery.One is stir-fried spinach, which is the dish for their family of five tonight.

At this time, Zhang Tao's grandfather and grandmother came over with a bowl. They came to Zhang Tao's house to watch TV. By the way, they brought Zhang Tao and the others some fried small crucian carp. This kind of fried small crucian carp is salted and fried Yes, it can be eaten directly after frying. It is very fragrant and tastes very good.

Zhang Tao remembers that this was his favorite food in his previous life, and he often ate the fried fish at home secretly.Zhang Tao's grandpa and grandma came at the right time. Although they had eaten dinner, Zhang Cuihua still gave them a bowl of fish soup.

At this time, Wang Zhongqiu's grandmother also brought Wang Zhongqiu to Zhang Tao's house to sit and talk to Zhang Cuihua about joining the party. Zhang Cuihua filled them with two more bowls of fish soup.As if it was agreed, two people in the village happened to come over to watch TV, and they happened to eat together. Anyway, the pot of fish soup was stewed a lot.

This evening is a bit special, because it takes a little time to deal with those fish, and Zhang Tao's family has already had a good meal at this time.Because some people watch TV, so their family eats meals before the feature film is shown.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for others to come to watch TV and eat at home. If you greet others, the food is not enough and the food is not so rich, and if you don’t entertain them, you will be embarrassed.

After receiving the fish soup bowl handed over by Zhang Cuihua, the few people didn't pay much attention at first, but were polite.But after taking two sips, they felt that the fish soup was very different, very fresh and delicious.

Even the director of the Old Women's Federation, who would go to the city to have a big meal from time to time, couldn't help but praise after two sips, "This fish soup is the best fish soup I've ever eaten. What's the name of this dish?"

"Live water fish, my mother said this dish is called live water fish." Seeing Zhang Cuihua's hesitation, Zhang Tao immediately said it first. Zhang Cuihua's hesitation probably didn't know what it was called.

In addition, she was still hesitating whether she should tell Zhang Tao made this soup, but she immediately breathed a sigh of relief after being told by Zhang Tao first, saving her from continuing to embarrass herself.

"My aunt's cooking skills are getting better and better. The pork blood soup I cooked before is also very delicious. I think my aunt can go to the town to open a restaurant. The business must be very good."

The person who said this was a person from Zhang Tao's village. Although Zhang Tao's mother was a little younger than him, she couldn't stand her seniority, so most people were called Aunt Zhang Cuihua.

"Let's not talk about the town, even if you go to the city, you can do this craft. The fried dishes of these two dishes look much better than those in restaurants in the city, and the taste is also good."

The director of the Old Women's Federation also answered the words with a smile at this time. She just tasted the other two dishes under Zhang Cuihua's kind greeting. They were much more delicious than the ones she had eaten in the city, and they looked good. Thinking that Zhang Cuihua still has such skills.

"I have time to do those things, and I can't finish the work at home." Zhang Cuihua immediately smiled after being praised by these people. Although she didn't cook these dishes, she didn't plan to think that these dishes were made by Zhang Tao. Speak up.

Zheng Hu on the side also felt quite a bit. He felt that this dish was better than the restaurant he made in the south. Now he has become numb to all the behaviors of his youngest son.

It's a pity that there is no one in their family to help with things, and there is no capital. In addition, this dish is made by Zhang Tao, otherwise he would really move and take his wife and children to find a place to open a restaurant or something.

It’s better here at home. In the south, there are small restaurants in front of many factories. The business is good.

The big pot of fish soup was quickly eaten up, but not many people ate the food.The soup was for a taste, and they all came over after dinner.But the funny thing is that these people didn't eat the fish heads. It is estimated that those fish heads have no meat in their eyes, and they are not interesting to eat, which happened to be cheaper for Zhang Tao.

He likes to eat fish heads. He put several large pieces of fish heads in a bowl by himself, and then ate them all by himself. The taste was very refreshing. Fish heads are a good thing.

But what these people talked about opening a restaurant just now caught Zhang Tao's heart.It's just that it's not the time yet, when the economy becomes tense in a few years' time.

At that time, due to the downturn of the coal mines in the town, many workers had no money left to eat in the restaurants in the town, and when the several restaurants in the town were unable to open, then Zhang Tao could have an idea up.

At that time, the price of transferring a shop was the cheapest, and it was relatively easy to get it.In fact, those people only need to persist for two years, and when the life of the people in the town gets better, they can make a lot of money by opening a restaurant in front of the school.

And because it is in the town, there are usually many people who go to the market, and the people who go to the market will become more willing to spend money after their lives are better.

In addition, many students whose parents work outside have no one to cook for their children. The school only provides plain rice, and they have to bring their own vegetables to eat, which is very inconvenient.So they just pay some money to let the children eat in the restaurant in the town. At that time, they can't even find a place to open a restaurant.

This is what Zhang Tao came up with. By that time, the situation of his family should have improved a lot. Then he might as well just buy the best place close to the middle school and high school, so that he can go to junior high school by himself. After that, you don’t have to run home to eat, and you don’t have to bring your own rice and fried dried vegetables to the dining hall. It’s not nutritious and it’s unpalatable.

The adults in the room continued to chat while watching TV.It was rare for Zhang Tao not to go to bed early today, and he also sat in the room, listening to them chatting about some trivial matters, and then slowly summed up some useful information from among them.

Don't think too much about investing too much. Their family doesn't have that much money now, so some small investments can still be remembered.

The director of the Old Women's Federation sat down after eating fish soup at Zhang Tao's house, took Wang Zhongqiu and left with a flashlight. She just came to tell Zhang Cuihua that there was no problem with joining the party, as long as a period of observation period passed.

However, she still hinted at Zhang Cuihua and asked Zhang Cuihua to win over the captain of her team. The captain of Zhang Tao's village will leave at the end of next year, which is good for Zhang Cuihua.

Of course, she pulled Zhang Cuihua aside to say these words. When Wang Zhongqiu left, he still couldn't forget Zhang Tao's fish soup. This should be the most delicious fish soup he had ever eaten since he was a child.

You must know that his family's conditions are much better than Zhang Tao's. It is normal to eat meat and fish from time to time, but the taste is far from the fish soup tonight, so this guy is very worried.

Zhang Cuihua, the director of the Old Women's Federation, told Zheng Hu when she was about to sleep, and Zheng Hu fell silent after hearing it.He wasn't opposed to his wife joining D, but was thinking about his own experience.

His conditions are actually better than Zhang Cuihua's. He graduated from high school. Although it was a special period at that time, and he seldom attended classes and only played sports, his diploma was still very high at this time.

Now his wife, a woman who graduated from primary school, seems to be doing better at home than himself, a high-level intellectual working outside, which makes him a little depressed and thinks more.However, he did not discourage his wife's enthusiasm. After all, the husband and wife are one, and the wife's life will be better, and the family will be better.

The next day is the market rush day in the town. Generally, this is the day to purchase new year’s goods for the New Year. The market fairs in the town are only open on the third, sixth and ninth day of each month at this time. It's the Chinese New Year, and the New Year's goods are almost ready, so naturally, there are not many people rushing to the market.

Therefore, the centralized purchases are all on the 26th day of the new year. Normally, Zhang Tao’s family not only buys some melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks to entertain the guests who come to pay New Year’s greetings during the Spring Festival, but also buys meat and fish.This year, their family will save them, just buy some snacks.

The children's new clothes for the New Year have already been prepared, so there is no need to wait to buy them at this time.And at this time, many rural people actually bought some fabrics from the market, and then let the tailors in the village help them make them. They would never go to the town to buy those finished clothes.

Zhang Tao and Zhang Yong's new clothes for the Chinese New Year this year are imitation military uniforms sewn with military green fabrics. This kind of clothing has been very popular in the past two years. After wearing them, they have a special air, which is a bit like an uncle of the People's Liberation Army.

After returning from the market, Zhang Tao’s house started to get busy. At this time, there are many things to be busy. The house needs to be cleaned up, and all the corner furniture must be cleaned. This is called getting rid of the old and welcoming the new. OKSo Zhang Tao's three brothers and sisters all have to help the family organize the New Year's things.

The next step is to make tofu. The tofu in the countryside is all homemade, and there are also glutinous rice cakes for Chinese New Year, which can be used to return gifts and entertain guests.

And at this time, there is no such thing as a refrigerator in the countryside, only a few shops selling ice cream can be seen occasionally.Therefore, in order to keep the dishes for the Chinese New Year longer, they will be fried on one side first, and the oil pan should be stopped.For example, meat, fish and chicken and duck.

Later, the braised pork is the product of the oil pan. First, boil all the pork in hot water to remove the blood, and then put it in a large pot to cook for a while. After the meat is cooked, take it out and put it away. Let cool before frying.Some of the remaining bones and broth are used to stew daikon.

This time is the happiest time for children, because it is time to eat large pieces of meat.At this time, meat is not eaten in rural areas like the later generations, who eat meat every day and don’t want to eat meat anymore.

The large pieces of lean meat and big bones that come out directly from the pot are the children's favorite, and they can be eaten with a little soy sauce. The adults are busy with the meat while teasing their children like a dog. Poverty and wealth, the Chinese New Year is full of joy.
