Chapter 22 Fish and miscellaneous hot pot
Zhen Zhen prepared vegetables early in the morning. Seeing a large amount of fish that could not be sold in the bamboo dustpan, she felt that she had thought it was simple at the beginning. Shandong cuisine recognized fish mixed with fish, but in the early years of Northeast China, she beat roe deer and scooped fish. She had few people and had a lot of food. She didn't like fish mixed with food. She could afford to buy a restaurant with plenty of money and ate fish directly. Who would go to a restaurant if she was not in good condition?
Not everyone is as good as Erdongchen. In addition to ordering side dishes for dinner, there are also a few fish and food that buy home and are not very good.
However, it is still necessary to prepare. Zhen Zhen marinated the fish with white wine and white pepper first. If it couldn't be sold, I would give some extra meals to my neighbors.
The temperature dropped quickly. Although the mop outside the door of the Park family was not frozen in the morning, there were already small ice chips on the outside. Today is still a false cloudy day, and the sun is hidden behind the clouds and does not show up. This kind of day is not like a sunny day, but a little wet and cold in the south. After walking outdoors for a while, I was frozen and my heart was cold.
In the wet and cold weather, the soup and vegetables are very good to sell. The cold noodles in the Pu family are all hot today. The silver carp and crucian carp on Zhen Zhen are selling well. They have already crossed the table once, and the second wave of customers almost filled the ten tables in the hall.
The treasure house was already unable to call the welcome, so I simply went on strike and sat on the safety chair that Uncle Liu specially beat, gnawed Zhen Zhen to make grinding fish fillets for them, gnawing out the teeth and staring at them, like two yaozi beasts.
The door opened again, and the treasure house went to see it as soon as possible. An uncle came in. The child immediately turned his head and shouted at the speaker on the wall, "Come on the guest."
The careful Uncle Liu saw that the glass in the kitchen and the front hall was always angry because of the temperature difference. Zhen Zhen sometimes couldn't see the person coming from the front hall, so he took the time to install a speaker. The treasure house's little doorkeeper was very competent, and when he saw someone pushing the door, he called his sister.
The glass outside was also angry. People who came in didn't expect that the hotel was so crowded and hesitated to leave.
After slowing down, Zhen Zhen was called out at the first time. Seeing that the person who was in his fifties, his head was covered with dust and his hand had not taken off his gray labor protection gloves. At this time, the outdoor construction site entered the winter break and all the work was stopped. This person should have taken over the work of a laborer and smashed the walls indoors.
He stepped forward and greeted, "Are you the only one? What do you want to eat?"
The person who came was a little embarrassed, "We have a lot of people, and it seems that we can't sit still, so why don't we eat today." He said he wouldn't eat, but he was a little reluctant to let him go, and asked again, "Do you still have fish in your house?"
Zhen Zhen wiped the water vapor from the glass and looked at the door. How about it? There were twelve or three people outside, either squatting or standing. He replied with a smile: "There are as many fish as you want, enough for you to eat."
As the two of them were talking, some customers in the room had already started to frown and look at the dusty worker. A few of them were dressed in bright clothes and raised their hands to cover the casserole in front of them.
A man wearing a suit and tie started to find faults, "There should be a sign at the entrance of your hotel. The laborer should not enter the manure. He was covered in dust and dirty. Can we drink the fish soup?"
One sentence made the brother Sun's face flushed. Even though this was not the first time he had been disliked during this period, he still couldn't stand it. He waved his hand and was about to retreat to the door.
Zhen Zhen ignored the man in suit, bent over and took out a duster from the bar and handed it to the elder brother, "Will you clean your body clean up when you go home before eating? You and the coworker." After saying that, he raised his eyes to the person who was eating in the house and said angrily: "The visitors are all guests, everyone should understand each other."
Zhen Zhen did not act merciful in a high manner. It was not easy to say anything that could be done with great force. Everyone was taking the initiative and kindness like the younger sister next door. Lao Sun felt very comfortable. He took the duster and did not forget to explain to Zhen Zhen, "The broom in the house that smashed the wall is not as clean as our body. Our coworkers just said that if we could eat it, we would borrow a broom from you to sweep the ashes before entering the house, so we would not cause trouble for everyone."
Is that true? You respect me and I will change you. Isn’t it good to have a warm meal with a gentle taste?
The eldest brother happily pushed the door and dusted it.
There was a small episode, but the man in the suit felt that Zhen Zhen ignored him, so he gave him a face and shouted, "No, I feel uncomfortable with this soup. I won't drink it anymore. Please refund me."
If he just complained, Zhen Zhen might be able to compensate him or give him a plate of vegetables. But he interfered with the matter and said that someone could not enter, and his face was too unbearable.
In his previous life, he grew up under the imperial city. He thought that his relatives were superior to others and even those who held dogs at home looked down on others. Zhen Zhen had seen too many people and had never bothered to pay attention to such people. He had food to cook, and he took out money to make him go as far as he could quickly.
Some customers can't stand it. Everyone is only rich for a few days, and they are all ordinary people. They have lost too many jobs in the past two years. Who has not had many relatives who work hard? The old Chinese doctor, Dr. Qiu, stared at him, "Little, tiger, leopard, wolf, dog, cat, etc. How do you know that you are not the last rat in the eyes of others?"
The man in the suit was damaged and his face turned red with anger. Several people lowered their heads.
"You are always right. This discrimination is really everywhere. The people in the city look down on the countryside, the people in the office look down on the coolies, and those who drive Santana look down on the Jetta. I want me to say that everyone in the province should review and review. Now the economy is overtaken by southern provinces, and I still look down on the people who come to the other provinces to come to scrub the bath. They are so poor that they only have two steel pounds in their pockets, and they also joke about changing plastic bowls."
This elder brother spoke in a row, and he kept quiet about the people in the house.
The inner table recalled a light cough. A high school student looked like a boy, putting down his glasses and whispered: "Based on the speed, wind direction, and uncle's position, the amount of dust falling into this uncle's soup bowl is extremely limited. However, a small amount of floating ash will fall on the grilled fish fillets in the child's hand behind the bar counter, but that amount will not be more gray than the ones dipped in pancakes outside."
The treasure house opened its mouth and didn't understand it. He heard the grilled fish fillets lower their heads and looked at the fish fillets that were torn in his hands with his teeth. He shook the small curls and opened his mouth and said, "The sun is bright and bright, the rooster sings three times, the flowers wake up, and the birds are busy dressing up..."
Zhen Zhen smiled. No matter how clean the house is, the smell of oil smoke cannot be eliminated. Earlier, she told her child that if others dislike him for being savory, she sang "Labor Most Glorious". Today, her treasure house will learn from it. When she sees her uncle's body is covered with dust, she can think of the most glorious labor.
The man in the suit paid for the meal while singing in the treasure house. He threw the door and left.
There were two tall and handsome young men standing outside the door. After listening for a while, the one who was half short and slapped at the other, "We are facing the darkness all day long. Whenever I can't hold on, when I think about the kind side of human nature like this, I feel that I can still hold on."
Another person turned around and said, "Are you sure? Didn't you eat meat to persevere?"
"Brother Chen, I finally expressed my feelings. Can you give me some face? Hurry up, I'm leaving in annoying. I'm going to go in and eat meat."
When the treasure house saw someone coming, we warmly welcomed: "Hello uncle Black Cat Sheriff!"
Xiao Feng stared at Zhen Zhen with wide eyes: "Don't bully the young man poor!"
What do you mean by what.
The group of wall-breaking people outside also packed up and entered the house. There were not so many empty tables. Zhen Zhen arranged the large army in an empty private room and arranged Chen Xingyao and the other two at the original table of the man in the suit.
First order food for those with fewer people, "What do you want to eat?"
"One serving of silver carp and crucian carp each, two bowls of rice." Chen Daqian still kept low consumption.
"Do you still have fish balls? I didn't eat enough last time." Xiao Feng's nose smelled the scent of the fish in the house, remembering the deliciousness of the fish balls I ate that day.
It turned out to be one of the hungry wolves in the Public Security Bureau, "No problem, wait."
When Zhen Zhen moved to the private room, Xiao Feng nodded, "Brother, you should be sure of the people. Seeing the enthusiasm of this business, the little girl can earn several times her salary a month, so she must buy a car first. Some people even envy us who eat public food? Get up early and go to bed late, go in the wind and rain, and eat hunger and full, and the bad guys can't catch them, so they can't even eat delicious food."
Xiao Feng is chattering, Chen Xingyao has long been used to it, so he will go there alone.
Two stewed fish were served quickly. Xiao Feng drank the crucian carp soup first and blinked twice, "Fuck, I'm having a good meal again."
Chen Xingyao attacked the silver carp. Today, Zhen Zhen stewed silver carp and added homemade potato wide powder to it. The sauce-colored translucent vermicelli has a superb taste, soft and hard, smooth and tough, soaked in fresh fish, not too salty, and is home-cooked and unusual.
Zhen Zhen knew if there was any one as soon as he took action.
Chen Xingyao turned around and looked into the kitchen. The sister who had served the dishes was so busy that she disappeared. The younger brother behind the bar met him. The child had big eyes and smiled very brightly. He raised his fat hand and raised his ears, and looked strange and saluted him.
Is the Black Cat Sheriff? Chen Xingyao's eyes are filled with smiles.
Zhen Zhen was busy in the kitchen, but was also happy, and finally he was able to sell the accumulated fish miscellaneous items. After asking about the taste of these people, Zhen Zhen raised his hand and fell. The knife quickly showed the afterimage. The fish miscellaneous items were cut, sorted and placed on the plate, and found two square soup pots. The soup made from fish bones in the kitchen was not broken. Throwing a few dates into it will make the hot pot soup base. When it was cold, add more ginger.
Another pot of spicy oil, pepper, chili pepper and pepper can also remove dampness and coldness, and spicy pots are also indispensable.
Make the soup base and dip it in water. Chef Zhen ensures the speed, and the meals of less than a dozen people will work together in ten minutes.
The laborers in the private room were shocked to see that they could eat hot pot for each of them.
This lunch is much better than expected. The employer they took care of is also subsidized for two yuan per day for food. He originally wanted to save the money and bring his own lunch, but the renovation site of the large empty space didn’t even have a hot place to eat. Buy a steamed bun to cushion, and work with a sledgehammer, and work hard, don’t eat some high protein, and don’t have any strength at all.
After being frozen for so many days on the road of Jianshe Road, I finally got this big job to transform the flower, bird, fish and insect market. Employers are not stupid. The subsidy for lunch is to make you eat enough and not delay your work.
I was worried, and I heard from a worker living nearby that there are fish and mixed fish in Xinghua Lane, which are high in protein and cheap. They used the subsidy money to make a meal with high nutritional food, so they came over. Although there was some unpleasant episode, the boss was kind and arranged a large private room for him to sit in.
Lao Sun is embarrassed, "We have such low consumption, won't you pay for hot pot?"
Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Can I still make myself lose money when I do business? Let's not talk about this, there are some specialties in boiling fish. Come on, I will teach you. You can cook these things out by dozens of times. Fish roe and these can be cooked for a longer time. The fish fish internal organs are inevitably fishy. I specially made it with dip in water. Remember to dip them. Cabbage is not worth much. If you feel tired, just order food and eat it. There is hot tea next to the bar counter in the outer room, and the rice is enough. You can eat it first, and I will serve you rice."
"Hey, you're busy with yours."
After Zhen Zhen left, the people in the house immediately moved their chopsticks and worked all morning. They were a little hungry. According to the way Zhen Zhen taught them to eat, they chose the part they like to cook in the pot. The first time they ate fish miscellaneous this way, I didn’t expect that the fish miscellaneous freshly cooked in the hot pot was smooth, tender, and fresh. I don’t know what to add to the dip water that the little boss prepared. The scalded fish miscellaneous was put inside and the fishy smell was gone.
After taking it for a while, everyone sweated from the forehead, had enough energy, and their bodies were very comfortable from the inside to the outside.
Zhen Zhen brought in again. In addition to the large basin of rice, there were two cold dishes, the sharp cold fish skin and fish scale jelly on the plate. A uncle with frosted temples showed an excited expression when he saw the fish scale jelly, "I love this the most. Hotpot is good enough, why do you have cold dishes?"
"Fish, fish, fish, how can you calculate the whole set without fish skin and scales?" Zhen Zhen put the things on the table, went to the window to open the window larger, there were many people in the room, and there were charcoal burning, so you had to pay attention to ventilation, "Don't disturb everyone's meals, call me anytime if you need it." After the meal was served, the movement was as light as a swallow, and then turned to the front hall to clean up the table.
Cold fish skin and fish scale jelly do not lose its level because of its cheapness, because of its high gelatin and good taste. The fish skin is sour and spicy, refreshing, and the fish jelly is tough and delicate. It costs so little money to sit in the private room and eat such good food. No one in the room talks, and they chew the food in their mouths silently.
Zhen Zhen didn't know that these people were from the same factory. Uncle who liked to eat fish scales and frozen hair on his temples was once the best turning workers, with zero errors in car parts. There were not many such technical workers in the country. Lao Sun was the workshop director, and the leader's workshop exceeded the task every year. Some of them were once technical backbones in the factory.
Lao Sun had a complicated expression and broke the silence in the private room. "I haven't been in a hotel for almost a year, so people should go to more hotels."
"Why do you feel like you have eaten all the lost face?" The youngest person spoke, with a smile on his face half self-deprecating and half emotion.
Ginger and pepper not only remove the cold, but also the sadness that arises from loss in my heart is warmed. The colleagues have eaten and gone out to thank Zhen Zhen.
The cheerful and cheerful boss smiled and said, "Uncle, uncle, brother, people have the freedom to gossip, they have the freedom to refute and gossip, and they have the freedom to go to a restaurant. You can come again after you have finished eating."
Chen Xingyao, who was standing aside and waiting for the payment, had his eyes frozen on Zhen Zhen's face for a long time.
