1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

The next morning, Chen Tiezhu reluctantly opened his eyes, and his eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot.

Just like a child who just got a toy, he spent most of the night studying it while Doudou was asleep.

This space is really amazing, and it has made his physical fitness change like a comprehensive ascension.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

He was still imagining how to show his power on the mountain today, and his stomach started to growl.

Chen Tiezhu grinned. This can be regarded as a side effect of having a space. He has been very hungry since midnight.

There is no way. Although hunting is important, filling the stomach is more important.

But what to eat has become a new problem.

Potatoes?

There are only a few of them. This thing can be used as a staple food. There is no food at home.

Radish?

What if I can't hunt prey? This can also be used as a filling for my daughter.

Then the rest are green onions and Chinese cabbage.

He made up his mind and decided to eat Chinese cabbage as the staple food and green onions as the side dish.

After taking a look at Doudou who was sleeping soundly, Chen Tiezhu got up gently and started to prepare today's breakfast.

Stir-fried cabbage slices?

There was no need to think about it. This family didn't even have all the seasonings. Eating it raw was not that good either, so he decided to fry the cabbage.

This method was also very simple. Just cut the cabbage into large pieces, boil it in water, squeeze out the water inside, and then eat it with sauce.

Yes, there must be sauce.

Thinking of this, Chen Tiezhu hurriedly put on his worn-out military coat and came to the courtyard. There was a small jar with a broken basin upside down by the door of the outer room. Inside was the sauce made by the previous Chen Tiezhu.

Picking up the broken basin and removing the gauze cover, a smell of stinky sauce rushed straight to his head.

There was indeed sauce inside, but it was black and hardened into a lump. He didn't know if he would be poisoned after eating it.

After a little hesitation, he still picked up the sauce rake and carefully poked in the sauce jar.

What surprised him was that after pushing away the nearly three-centimeter thickness, the sauce underneath looked quite good.

He bravely picked up a little and dipped his finger in it to taste it.

Hmm..., it tastes pretty good?

No wonder people say that Northeast farmers' sauce is a treasure. It is still edible even after being put into this state.

With all the conditions ready, he began to prepare his special breakfast.

"Dad, Dad..."

While he was busy, Doudou shouted anxiously.

"Doudou, Dad is cooking outside. I will roast sparrows for you in a while." Chen Tiezhu replied.

Hearing his words, Doudou felt relieved. Within two minutes, the little guy ran out in his clothes and plunged into his arms.

"Be good, Doudou. Daddy will take out the cabbage, and then we can make fried sparrows for Doudou." Chen Tiezhu coaxed him.

Doudou reluctantly let go of him and sat obediently on the small bench beside him.

Because he was strong now, he didn't dare to use too much force when squeezing the cabbage. But even so, the first bunch of cabbage was crushed by him.

After squeezing the cabbage, he peeled two scallions.

Although he used this thing as a seasoning at most before, there is no way now, it is still a "dish" with some flavor.

A plate of three large balls of fried cabbage, two scallions, and a small dish of soybean paste, breakfast is complete.

But he didn't rush to eat, but waited until the fried sparrows in the stove were cooked before eating with Doudou.

There were only two people left at home, how could they eat breakfast in stages?

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still a little worried when he looked at the fried cabbage and green onions.

His body was still like Chen Tiezhu from Erdaoling, but his standard was like that of Vice President Chen from the provincial capital. How many years had it been since he had eaten such a dish without a single drop of oil?

"Dad, let's eat sparrow."

At this time, Doudou stretched out his little hand and handed over a roasted sparrow.

"Doudou, eat it. Dad loves cabbage the most." Chen Tiezhu forced a smile.

Doudou frowned.

Even though he was a little over three years old, when did Dad start to like cabbage? Even if he ate it, he would only eat some after drinking.

To reassure Doudou, Chen Tiezhu picked up a large chopstick of fried cabbage, dipped it in the sauce dish, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He had to act the whole part, so he "happily" chewed it.

But as he chewed, he felt something was wrong.

There are cabbage stalks in here, they are boiled in water, why is it so juicy and mushy?

He thought his taste was wrong, and took another chopstick. This time he didn't even dip it in sauce, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

It's okay, it's still so juicy,It was so mushy. And if you tasted it carefully, it had a hint of cabbage aroma.

At this moment, he actually envied Chen Tiezhu of this era.

The cabbage that was common in this era and no one would even look at it twice, you can't buy it in the future no matter how much money you have. The cabbage in the future is quite big, and it won't be cooked no matter how you cook it.

He was so hungry that he stuffed chopsticks into his mouth one by one, and soon he finished a large bunch.

Doudou, who was holding a roasted sparrow next to him, was dumbfounded.

Dad really loves cabbage? Why does he eat it so deliciously?

"Hahaha, Doudou will eat it too. After we finish eating, we will go hunting." Chen Tiezhu said happily, picked up the scallion, dipped it in some sauce, and took a small bite.

He chewed it lightly twice, and was slightly absent-minded.

Then he dipped it in some sauce again, and this time he took a big bite, chewing it so fragrantly that it made a "crackling" sound.

The reason why Chen Tiezhu doesn't eat onions is because he hates the spicy smell of onions and the smell of onions.

But now he is eating the same onion, but this onion is a little different.

Although it still has some spicy and onion smell, it has a hint of sweetness. This sweetness is not very strong, but just right, making the spicy and onion smell not annoying at all.

Chen Tiezhu never dreamed that one day he would be so happy to eat onions with sauce.

He really discovered a new world, a bite of fried cabbage and a bite of onions with soybean paste.

Two onions are not enough to eat, so he peels two more.

It still has the same onion smell, but today it gives him an unusual feeling. It feels like after eating it, the whole body is cleared.

Doudou grabbed the roasted sparrow with his little hand, brought it to his mouth but forgot to eat it.

Dad is so strange today...

"Dad, Doudou also wants to eat onions."

After a little hesitation, Doudou mustered up the courage to say.

"Okay, then have a small bite." Chen Tiezhu said, and brought the scallion to Doudou's mouth.

Doudou happily took a small bite, but before he could be really happy, his little face wrinkled into a ball.

Scallions are still so unpalatable.

"Hahahaha..., you should just eat the roasted sparrow obediently." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Doudou nodded obediently, and then ate the roasted sparrow diligently, not wanting to lose to his father.

During the meal break, Chen Tiezhu also glanced at the mirror hanging in the house, which scared him.

Then he leaned to the mirror, looked at himself carefully, and finally saw "himself" clearly.

His messy hair was similar to Doudou's yesterday, wearing a military coat, yellow rubber shoes, and green military pants. If he wore a straw hat, he would be similar to the battle mage Liu Haizhu.

Under the messy hair, he had sword-like eyebrows and handsome eyes, and he was also quite tall and a little thin. His beard was growing in disorder, and he hadn't shaved it for a long time.

"He has a nice face."

With a sigh, he came back to enjoy this special breakfast.

I used to hate green onions, but now I am a little greedy...
