1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"What are you all thinking about? Am I that kind of person?" Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

Just looking at everyone's eyes, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Especially Han Xiuying, the expression on her face already said "you are".

It's no wonder that the girl looked at him like that. Anyway, after getting in touch with him, coupled with the situation just now, she had already labeled him as a "big bad guy" in her heart.

"Uncle Jianguo, the rule of our village is that whoever finds the prey first gets to hunt first, right? Only when you can't hunt others can you make a move." Chen Tiezhu asked.

He Jianguo nodded, "That's the truth. There must be a first come first served. This is the hunting rule in our village, otherwise it will be a mess."

"That's it. Doudou and I found Feilong and were about to hunt, but we met a stranger and fired a cannon." Chen Tiezhu shrugged.

Then he told the situation last night and made some deletions.

"If that's the case, it's not Tiezhu's fault. But I have to say something to you, why are you so fierce? What if someone shoots you?" He Jianguo glared at him.

"Uncle Jianguo, this involves the reputation of our Erdaoling, I can't be a coward." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Our village has been following the rules for so many years, and someone wants to break them? If it's like this, then the people in our village will suffer."

"Even if I'm a scoundrel, I know that some rules can't be broken. If the hunting rules are broken, what will happen to our mountain in the future?"

"But I'm still wondering, why don't people in our village use homemade cannons anymore, and there are other people coming here to hunt with homemade cannons? Second Master doesn't care?"

"Go to Second Uncle and talk about it at night. If these people mess around in the mountains, something might really happen in the future." He Jianguo frowned and said.

"Hey..., let's not talk about this for now. Let's all sit inside. I'll clean up the food." Chen Tiezhu waved his hand.

"Doudou, where did you pick up this dog? It doesn't look very good." He Jianguo asked as he walked into the house.

"My father bought it." Doudou said happily.

"Others say it's a mourning dog, but I don't care at all. It's mourning on its forehead, so it's easy to raise and it suits me, a fool." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"Do you know what kind of person you are? Brother Li, is there any particularity about this?" Han Xiuying asked curiously after spraying him.

"It seems that there should be, but I don't know much about it." Li Yinglin said.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just some superstitious sayings in the countryside, let's not talk about it." He Jianguo covered it up.

He was also a little confused. How could he say these feudal and superstitious words in front of the public security comrades?

Feilong took it out, and Chen Tiezhu started to clean it up directly.

"What can I do? I can't just eat for free." Li Yinglin rolled up his sleeves and asked.

"One pot for stewing vegetables, one pot for simmering rice, let's go to the courtyard to build a small stove, and use the ear pot to stew flying dragons later. Do you know how to do it?" Chen Tiezhu said.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll do it for you." Li Yinglin said excitedly.

After all, flying dragons are also very precious ingredients, and they are not so easy to catch now. Chen Tiezhu took out two of them so generously at once, which is also a big deal.

"Okay, I'll help Li too." He Jianguo said with a smile and followed him out.

Han Xiuying hesitated for a moment, actually she also wanted to help, but she really didn't know what she could help with.

"Dad, can it be made into a paste?" Doudou asked.

"Of course it can be done, Dad will stew cabbage later, and Doudou will have to help Dad to light the fire." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah, Doudou can make fire."

The little guy responded happily, and the small stool was pulled, and he was ready.

He picked up the kitchen knife, held the cabbage in his hand, and then twisted it with the knife.

"Why are you showing off? Why don't you cut it properly? I shouldn't have agreed to you out of weakness. I just feel sorry for Doudou." Han Xiuying asked.

"Yingzi, cooking is also a skill." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"The cabbage I handle is all slanted. Even if some cabbage stalks have tendons, it will not affect the taste much. Anyway, you can eat it, and you will definitely have a bulging belly like Doudou."

"Yeah, bulging."

Doudou nodded seriously.

"What do you know? You just agree with your father." Han Xiuying helplessly hugged Doudou in her arms, and then stared at Chen Tiezhu with a covetous look.

Let you show off, you said you are good at cooking, what are you talking about? Today I have to find fault with your cooking.

Put the chopped cabbage in the bowl, Chen TieZhu took out the meat he bought today.

He also noticed Han Xiuying's eyes, and his mind moved slightly, and he glanced at her proudly.

Han Xiuying was not willing to admit defeat, and she showed her little white teeth fiercely.

Chen Tiezhu grinned, then put the skin side of the meat against the chopping board, and cut it with a kitchen knife.

"Hehehe, you messed up, right? You wanted to show off your knife skills, but you didn't cut it well, and you laughed." Han Xiuying said happily.

This was also a "competition" between the two of them, and it was considered to have found out the problem.

Chen Tiezhu looked at her and laughed, "Yingzi, my goal today is to make you eat until you are full."

"Don't cut your hand."

Seeing that he didn't even look at the meat, Han Xiuying couldn't help but remind him.

"It's okay, just hold it with your hands."

Chen Tiezhu said with a smile, and then watched her continue to cut.

Han Xiuying rolled her eyes at him, saying that it was better to cut your hand, just don't break your fingers.

At this time, Chen Tiezhu had also finished cutting the meat and put the knife away. He lifted up the whole piece of meat and shook it.

The piece of meat in his hand was like a peacock spreading its tail, with each piece of meat spreading out.

Han Xiuying bit her lip, "Even if you cut it this way, you will have to do it again, and the skin won't be cut off."

"Hehehe."

Chen Tiezhu laughed like she did just now.

The whole piece of meat was placed on the chopping board again, and the knife was lifted up and pushed steadily along the connection between the skin and the meat slices.

As the knife moved on the skin, the meat slices on top also moved aside one by one.

"Yingzi, see how good my knife skills are."

After cutting, Chen Tiezhu came to Han Xiuying's side with the skin in his hand.

Han Xiuying stared at the skin with a fierce look on her face, but she felt helpless.

The meat side of the skin was smooth and slippery.

Even though she was not a cook, she knew that Chen Tiezhu had great knife skills. The cuts he made just now were of the same depth, and the push was also very steady.

She was so angry that her teeth itched, and she was impressed by this guy again.

Even the best chefs can't do it so well, right?

"Yingzi, there are actually some rules for stewing cabbage." Chen Tiezhu said casually after starting to cook.

"The meat slices have to be fried in the pan, just like I did, to wrap up some of the fat oil. Then..."

"Dad, can we eat the meat?"

Before he finished speaking, Doudou couldn't wait any longer.

Han Xiuying's pretty face, which had just been tense, suddenly relaxed, and she smiled happily, so she had to let Doudou deal with this guy.

"My dear girl, you have to wait a little longer. What did you say just now? Yes, you have to wrap the meat oil, so that the dish is not only fragrant, but also the meat is not greasy when you eat it." Chen Tiezhu continued.

Seeing that the stir-frying was almost done, he poured in the chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce, and the fragrance "whoosh" came out all of a sudden.

Doudou was so greedy that he couldn't help it. He went straight to the edge of the pot and looked at it.

The chopped cabbage was thrown into the pot, and the sizzling sound burst out. Doudou was so happy that she shook her head and sniffed it hard with her little nose.

After stir-frying for a while, the soup and salt were added. He took a handful of vermicelli, broke it into two pieces, and threw it directly into the pot. That's it.

After finishing, he made a face at Han Xiuying, a very arrogant one.

Han Xiuying was so angry that she showed her little white teeth and took two empty bites to give a warning.

"Are you done with your work? It's just right. Let's see if the stove that Uncle Jianguo and I built is good." Li Yinglin also shouted at this time.

Han Xiuying hurriedly shut her mouth with a guilty conscience, and her face was a little hot.

Chen Tiezhu didn't care, and leaned over to take a look, "This skill is really good, let's start right away."

The simple small stove looks inconspicuous, but it has good smoke and fast fire, which is perfect.

After taking out the ear pot and brushing it, I started to stew the dragon directly.

"Tiezhu, just stew it like this?"

Seeing Chen Tiezhu first fill the pot with water, then put the dragon, green onion, ginger, garlic, and sprinkle some salt casually, Li Yinglin always felt that it was a bit unreliable.

"Comrade Li, cooking is a skill." Chen Tiezhu put one hand behind his back and looked up at a 45-degree angle.

"High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods, so..."

"Dad, the pot is boiling. Can we eat the meat?"

Before he finished pretending to be Thirteen, Doudou in the room shouted.

"My big baby, wait, it has to be stewed for a while before it can be eaten." Chen Tiezhu didn't have the appearance of a master, he ran into the house and coaxed his daughter.

"This kid, day after day, I don't know what to say."

Looking at his appearance, Li Yinglin shook his head helplessly.

But in his heart, he also had some concerns about today's dinner.Strong expectations.

I have eaten here before and I know that Chen Tiezhu's cooking skills are really good.

Feilong must have some background to dare to run this restaurant.
