1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

The old saying is true, boil tofu thousands of times and fish tens of thousands of times, the taste is really delicious.

Chen Tiezhu has also cooked fish stew at home, but the stewing time is still a little less. Although the tofu is also full of fish soup, the taste of the tofu itself is a little worse.

And today Chen Tiezhu also learned a trick from Lao Zhao, you can't cover the pot when stewing tofu. If you cover the pot, the stewed tofu will not be so smooth.

Even though his cooking skills are very good now, he has only mastered this cooking trick today.

After dinner, he was busy at Lao Zhao's house for a while, and then he took Doudou back home.

Of course, some dried tofu must be brought, which is the thank-you gift from Lao Zhao, and it must be taken.

"Dad, how do you eat dried tofu?"

On the way home, Doudou asked casually.

"How to eat it? Actually, I think it's good to roll it with onions and dip it in sauce." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Hmm..., it tastes good when dipped in sauce, but it's a bit choking." Doudou said.

"Then it seems that there is really no other way. How about stewing the cabbage? Or stir-frying it?" Chen Tiezhu continued.

Doudou frowned and stopped talking.

Why doesn't Dad do it?

No matter whether you dip it in sauce, stew it, or stir-fry it, there will be no meat.

In fact, the little guy is worried that he will only eat dried tofu for dinner today without meat, so what will he eat.

"Doudou, how about we make dried tofu Qianzi tonight?" Chen Tiezhu asked happily.

"What is dried tofu Qianzi? Is it the same as the skewers for grilled skewers?" Doudou asked curiously.

"That's different. Dried tofu Qianzi is to spread the seasoned meat filling on the dried tofu, then roll it into a roll and steam it in a pot." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay, make dried tofu Qianzi."

When Doudou heard that there was meat filling, he was very happy.

It doesn't matter whether it's a Qianzi or not. The key is to have meat.

"She's just a greedy girl who only thinks about eating meat." Chen Tiezhu said.

"The meat smells good."

Doudou said happily, and her calves also started to sway.

After returning home, Chen Tiezhu started to cook. In order to make the dried tofu Qianzi more delicious tonight, he also bought some prawns and picked some mushrooms in the mushroom house.

The minced meat was minced, the shrimps were chopped into paste, and the mushrooms were washed and chopped and mixed into the minced meat. This is a three-fresh stuffing.

"Dad, can Doudou put the minced meat? Doudou can make cabbage sandwiches." Doudou asked.

"This is different from cabbage sandwiches. If you put too much meat, you can't roll it up, and today's dish will be bad." Chen Tiezhu said.

Doudou wrinkled his nose habitually, a little disappointed.

"But, after daddy has put the meat filling in, Doudou can help daddy roll it. Doudou's rolls are delicious." Chen Tiezhu added.

"Yeah, Doudou's rolls are delicious." The little guy nodded his head seriously.

"My eldest daughter has become amazing, just watching daddy roll." Chen Tiezhu coaxed again.

Children must be given appropriate encouragement, otherwise they won't work hard.

Dried tofu is spread on the chopping board. A whole sheet is too long, so just cut it in half.

Holding a spoon and carefully applying the meat filling, Doudou looked a little anxious.

There is too little meat filling, how can it taste delicious?

"Doudou, you will be like daddy in a while. Just like making a lazy dragon, slowly roll it up and roll it into a long roll, okay?" Chen Tiezhu said as he rolled it.

Doudou is really in high spirits.

It turned out to be like this. After rolling, there was more meat, and you could eat a lot in one bite.

"Dad, hurry up and make the next one." The little guy urged.

"Of course, Dad works very quickly." Chen Tiezhu continued to paint.

After all, he had experience in making lazy dragons. This time, it was dried tofu, which was more resilient and easy to roll.

After rolling one himself, Doudou also grinned and admired it happily for a while.

"Good guy, Doudou is helping to cook again?"

The little guy just rolled the second one when Grandpa Han rushed over.

"Grandpa Han, I'm going to make dried tofu Qianzi today. Doudou's rolls are delicious." The little guy said happily.

"It smells good just by looking at it. Doudou's rolls are done." Grandpa Han praised again.

"Grandpa Han, Doudou can also dig out a big head and fry it with eggs." The little guy said again.

"This guy, Doudou also did a lot of work today." The second master also praised.

This makes the little guy so beautiful that he can't find the north.

This dried tofu roll is not onlyIt is not only more neat and tighter.

The father and daughter cooperated with each other, and this job was very easy. The two old men also talked to the little guy from time to time, and soon they rolled a large plate.

"Okay, put these in the pot to steam, and then help Dad pick the big brain." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, can we eat it after steaming?" Doudou asked.

"After steaming, Dad also plans to smoke it, and then it will have a smoked smell, which is more fragrant." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It must be smoked."

The little guy nodded his head seriously.

In the little guy's world, the most concerned thing is to eat delicious food.

"Today, I went around the village and saw that the mushroom houses of each household were almost ready." Grandpa Han said.

"Yes, and then ventilate it well. When the wall is dry, we can put the mushroom sticks inside." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It's fair to say that this is also a sign of hope. The mycelium of the mushroom sticks now grows faster, and it won't be long before everyone can see the return on their investment."

"This year, our fellow villagers are really motivated." Erye said with emotion.

"That's right, I'm happy just looking at everyone's smiling faces." Old Man Han nodded.

"Dad, the pot is boiling."

Doudou, who was in charge of lighting the fire, shouted.

"What kind of steam is coming out?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Circling steam." Doudou replied.

"Well, wait another 20 minutes and it will be steamed. Can Doudou complete the task?" Chen Tiezhu shouted again.

"Yes." Doudou answered with full confidence.

Although we are still a little bit behind in counting now, we can still read the clock.

We don't think about other things anymore, we just sit on the kang and concentrate on reading the clock.

"This little girl, except for eating and playing, I've never seen her take other things seriously." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"What else do you want? She's just a child. It'll be fine when she grows up. Doudou is still so smart." Old Man Han said with a smile.

"He, he wishes Doudou could be more playful." Second Master revealed his thoughts.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "In fact, I'm not afraid of her love of playing. She's happy only when she's having fun. Eh? It seems that Liu Dayou is here. Why didn't he call?"

The two old men looked over and saw that it was Liu Dayou who was pushing a bicycle.
