1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Uncle Shulin is eating at my house for the first time, so he feels more comfortable. Even though Second Grandpa is here, we don't have so many rules at the dinner table. We just eat whatever we like." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"You fried this mixed fish sauce very well, especially the dipping vegetables with pickles." Second Grandpa said with emotion.

"What kind of vegetable is this bunch of leaves? Why haven't I eaten it before?" Han Xiuying asked in a low voice.

"This is our common gray vegetable." Chen Tiezhu said.

"I don't know who put it in my house that day. Anyway, I usually don't want to eat it. Today, I have mixed fish sauce, so I am willing to contribute it."

"Fried cabbage, green radish strips, and fried gray vegetables are best eaten with dipping sauce." He Jianguo said.

"Okay, let's start. I'm old, so I'll start first." After Second Grandpa finished speaking, he directly picked up some gray vegetables, wrapped them in mixed fish sauce and stuffed them into his mouth.

It tasted really good. There were no outsiders, so there was no need to pretend.

Han Xiuying frowned slightly.

She wanted to try the fish sauce, but seeing that these small fish were all with fish scales, fish heads and fish intestines, she was somewhat reluctant to eat them directly.

But what made her a little depressed? Although everyone was eating other dishes, the fish sauce seemed to have become the most popular dish today.

"Try it."

Seeing her entanglement, Chen Tiezhu picked a small fish that was slightly more pleasing to the eye in the bowl.

"Girl, eat it. Such a small fish has clean intestines." The second master said with a smile.

"Xiuying, if you don't try it, you will regret it." Li Yinglin also added.

It can be regarded as encouragement. Han Xiuying mustered up the courage.

Picked up the small fish, looked at it for a while, closed her eyes, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Because it was a whole small fish, the taste was not very good, and it was a bit scum. The taste was also slightly bitter because it had fish intestines.

But when she was about to swallow it down, the taste changed.

Although the taste was still a little bit crumbly, the bitterness was gone. In addition to the strong sauce flavor, there seemed to be a different fragrance.

She was a little skeptical, so she picked a slightly larger one this time and put it directly into her mouth.

Now she understood that in addition to the sauce flavor, there seemed to be a special fish flavor. That little bit of bitterness made the fish flavor more prominent.

Without the obstacles in her heart, she also began to eat the fish sauce with relish.

As for whether it was not cleaned up or not, she didn't even think about it, it was really delicious.

"Hahaha, it seems that it tasted good." Li Yinglin said with a smile.

"But the fish sauce made by Tiezhu is really tasty. I have eaten a lot of this stuff, but it's not as delicious as Tiezhu's."

"It's not my credit, the sauce made by Uncle Jianguo's family is good." Chen Tiezhu said.

"In our Northeast, I think everything is secondary. The key is to have a bowl of good sauce. I have also bought soybeans. When I come back from the provincial capital, I will go to press the oil and then beat the sauce. Is it in time?"

"What's too late? It's in time before the New Year. Anyway, it won't rain until next year." He Jianguo said.

"As long as more green hair grows, we can add salt water. Don't be lazy when filling the sauce jar. Serve it twice a day, and the sauce will not be bad."

"It's a good job. I have to fill a jar." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"This black fish stick is not bad. It is really stewed with flavor and is not small." Qiao Shulin said.

"It's so hard to catch it. My daughter is sweating all over. My daughter, eat more meat. We have to take revenge." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah, revenge."

Doudou picked up a large piece of fish meat and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Wild black fish sticks, firm and fragrant.

Chen Tiezhu's stewing skills are also top-notch, whether it is fish or side dishes, it is fragrant.

"Oh..., I didn't expect such a bowl of mixed fish sauce to taste so good."

Chen Tiezhu picked up some fried cabbage, scraped it under the bowl of mixed fish sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth with relish.

"Who would have thought? On such a table of wine and food, the first thing to go is mixed fish sauce." Fang Zhiyong also sighed.

If you tell others about this, no one will believe it.

Stewed black fish sticks are needless to say, they can be the main dish at the New Year's banquet.

Small river shrimps are often eaten, who would be willing to use oil to dry-fry them? They are also very fresh and crispy.

As for crucian carp, the usual method is either stewed with sauce or stewed in soup, but today it is also dry-fried, which is so crispy and fragrant.

Seriously speaking, if it were someone else's house, these three dishes could all be the protagonists.But today, I encountered a very arrogant and unreasonable fish, and I was immediately overtaken.

"Don't worry about the fish sauce, it's really gone, so let's clean up the other dishes." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't even want to go to work now." Fang Zhiyong said.

"Living with Teacher Chen is like going back to school. Every day is carefree. When it's time to eat, I carry my lunch box to the cafeteria to eat delicious food."

"That won't work. There will be many patients waiting for you to treat them in the future." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Don't think I always tease you, but I respect the profession of doctor. Because it is a skill that saves lives, and it also has its own ethics and persistence."

"I hope you can bring out a group of good apprentices, without so many selfish thoughts in your heart, and focus on medicine. Although it is difficult, this is my hope."

"Teacher Chen, don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Fang Zhiyong said seriously.

Although he always calls him Teacher Chen, everyone is used to it and thinks it is just a joke. But looking at his current attitude, it is definitely not a joke.

"Wait for me to study the book on human anatomy and see if there are other ways or something." Chen Tiezhu said.

"But it would be best if I finish the mushroom planting and go to the operating room with you. Talking about war on paper is shallow."

These are not words he said because he was in a good mood, but many operating techniques, and he really can't tell Fang Zhiyong too much now.

Even if he wanted to teach Fang Zhiyong, he had to be secretive.

"Teacher Chen, please contact me when the time comes, and I will apply to the academy." Fang Zhiyong said.

"Okay, let's continue eating." Chen Tiezhu replied happily.

The fish sauce that dominated the meal had been eaten, and the rest of the dishes had to be eaten seriously.

The tradition of the Chen family was fulfilled again, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

"Brother Tiezhu..., can I say something to you?"

As they were drinking tea and chatting, Zhang Zhidong walked in with red eyes.
