Longing for mountain village life

Looking at his grandfather's behavior, A Gui asked a little puzzled: "Grandpa, why do you put salt in this, is it marinated first?"

Grandpa listened, stunned, and then laughed, "No, pour salt into it, these river clams will continue to spit out after inhaling salt water, and then inhale again, spit out again, and by the way, the sand and sludge in the shell are spit out, so that it is clean."

"Don't look at these river clams are washed very clean now, in fact, they are not, the shell is clean, the inside is not yet, it is estimated that it will take a while to be able to fry, just when the two of them went to do errands, I went to get a joint dish."

"What is a joint dish?" Agui was curious.

He thought that he had become familiar with the mountain village during this time, and knew a lot of things that he didn't know before, but now several terms in succession stumped him.

"You don't eat joint dishes during the New Year?" Grandpa was a little surprised.

Ah Gui shook his head, don't say that he ate it, he had never heard of it.

Grandpa explained, "The reason why the combination of vegetables has such a name is to mean that the family is harmonious and beautiful, and reunion, so when we celebrate the New Year, we will prepare a plate, and we don't need too much, after all, they are all meat dishes with big fish and meat, and they are too greasy to eat too much, so they use them to condition their appetite." "

This dish, in fact, don't say the north and south, that is, each province is different, some are eggs, vermicelli, bean sprouts, etc. fried to eat, some are tripped to eat, similar to cold mixed ear roots, our family's combined dish is very simple, not my original, I used to learn it with an old comrade-in-arms."

As he spoke, he washed the picked cabbage, carrots, and cucumbers.

"Agui, help me pinch the garlic, it doesn't take much, the two ends are almost the same."

"Okay!"

Ah Gui went to take two heads of garlic and peeled them.

At this time, Grandpa cut the Chinese cabbage into strips, and the carrot and cucumber were shredded, and put it in a porcelain bowl.

Seeing that Ah Gui had already mashed the garlic into garlic puree, Grandpa poured it into a porcelain bowl, poured some vinegar and soy sauce, and stirred it so that the garlic paste was spread more evenly on top of the Chinese cabbage.

That's it!

"Taste!" Grandpa handed the chopsticks over.

A Gui was shocked, "It's that simple, I thought it was a very complicated dish." "

It's really my grandfather who said that this dish has a great meaning, and he takes it for granted that it is a dish with cumbersome processes, so that it can also be worthy of the word Kazumi."

Grandpa smiled, "Family and beauty, sometimes it doesn't need to be too complicated, a family can eat a meal at home, that is, Hemei, for me, if a lot of ingredients are added to this dish, it doesn't have that taste." "

Ah Gui took the chopsticks and took the Chinese cabbage and ate it, it was sweet and sweet, with the spicy taste of garlic, vinegar and soy sauce mixed together, it was really unique.

He immediately liked the taste, and he liked the meaning of the joint dish.

"Combined dishes, taste them first, and then eat them when you will eat dumplings, a bite of dumplings and a combined dish, the taste will be better."

When Grandpa spoke, he looked outside, and he didn't know how long it would take for the two of them to deal with things.

After about ten minutes, the originally clear water in the iron basin has become turbid, grandpa dumped it and replaced it with clean water again, this time without pouring salt, too late, otherwise it will really become pickled river clams.

Each time it was about ten minutes, so after four times, the water in the iron basin finally did not change much, which indicates that the river clam has spit out almost all the dirty things in the shell and can be used to fry and eat.

Seeing that the two had not yet arrived, Grandpa had to pack up some of the river clams first, stew the soup, and wait for them to arrive.

More than twenty minutes passed, and the two finally returned, their expressions were not good or bad.

A Gui hurriedly asked: "How is it, is it solved?" Dong

Shihao said: "We went to the city, this kind of thing should be able to be handled quickly, but because today is the weekend, the staff does not go to work, I told my father, let him arrange someone to help, probably this afternoon to receive the news."

Jiang Tian nodded, "We are indeed negligent in this matter, Agui, think about what other things we missed."

"No, I thought about it again and again when you went to do something, and that's all there is to it, but I feel that you better hire a professional person, so that there will be no omissions." Aque suggested.

"I have already been invited, I only hope that it is not too late to make amends." Dong Shihao is always not very relieved in his heart, if this matter is not dealt with in a day, he feels that it is a big hole that is easy to be drilled.

Grandpa saw that they were not in a good mood and said: "Since it is already being processed, eat first, I will go to the dumplings." Plates

of radish pork dumplings were served on the table, and the dishes were placed in the middle, and Grandpa specially made a stir-fried river clam.

You can see that in the plate, the originally tightly closed river clams have opened their mouths one by one, revealing the delicious meat inside, and the fragrance alone comes to their faces.

Dong Shihao, who had been thinking about things, was attracted and couldn't wait to eat.

"Delicious!"

"What is this?" Dong Shihao asked, but his hand did not stop, after saying this sentence, he had already eaten three.

"River clams, river fresh in the river." Grandpa explained, "If it's delicious, eat more, there is still in the pot, and there is a big pot over there."

Jiang Tian also ate a river clam, bit off the meat inside, snorted the shell, and licked off the soup on it.

Because it is stir-fried, a lot of red peppers are added to it, and it is spicy and enjoyable to eat.

Jiang Tian himself didn't have anything, but after a while, Dong Shihao and A Gui were constantly inhaled by the spicy, a lot of sweat appeared on their faces, and their faces were red, but they still liked to eat like this, and they couldn't stop at all.

Grandpa said: "Don't just eat river clams, eat more dumplings to crush your stomach, otherwise eating too much spicy things will be bad for your stomach." Dong

Shihao took a bite of dumplings and ate them happily.

It seems that I was too depressed because of things at home before, but now I eat delicious dumplings and hot river clams, and the whole person's mood is lifted up again.

This is a good thing, the mood is always pressed, and sooner or later something will go wrong.

There was a popping sound in the kitchen, and Grandpa went over, brought a casserole, put a wet rag on the table, and placed it on it.

The soup inside was served, and each person had a bowl.

"After a little cooling, drink some soup, the taste of the river clam soup is very delicious, just enough to go with greasy, hot food."
