After a night of silence, when I woke up the next morning, the magnolia slices and squid were almost cooked.

Pour the squid slices out of the thermos bottle, wash them clean, and cut them into smaller pieces again with a knife. Bring a pot of boiling water and pour the squid in. The squid will automatically roll into squid flowers.

Add a little cooking wine and white vinegar to the water. The white vinegar can speed up the synthesis of the alkaline taste of the squid flowers, while the cooking wine can suppress the taste of both and at the same time enhance the flavor of the squid flowers.

When the squid flowers are rolled, pick them up, put them in a basin, and float them in clean water.

The same goes for the magnolia slices on the other side.

Dr. Zhao is very particular about people, and it is not easy to satisfy him. The method of using MSG instead of broth will definitely not pass the test.

Jiachuan old chicken soup is the most convenient ingredient for making family soup. Because Jiachuan chicken soup uses very little fire, the soup temperature is kept at more than 80 degrees during the cooking process, and the chicken is actually scalded, so the soup color is very clear.

There was still chicken soup from the past few days at home, so Zhou Zhi took it out of the refrigerator, cut some ham and scallops into pieces, added them in, and steamed them in a pot.

After taking care of these things, he cooked another bowl of glutinous rice balls for his grandmother and asked her to watch the fire. Zhou Zhi went downstairs, picked up the eel fishing rack, and walked towards the north door.

The morning market was very busy. When Zhou Zhi arrived, Mr. San and Sister Xiao Juaner were already busy with their own business.

The current Chinese New Year in Jiachuan is a time when the custom of New Year's dinner is very popular. According to the habits of Jiachuan people, in addition to chicken, duck, fish and other large fish and meat, the most indispensable New Year's dinner is two other side dishes.

One is young lettuce mixed with ear root. The lettuce must be the most unique "nest chicken dish" in Jiachuan, which is the most tender.

The root of the ear must also be a tender root with some buds and leaves.

The second one is the pickles. A capable family usually soaks the pickles a day or two before entertaining guests. When the banquet is about to end, take them out and cut them into a bowl. You don’t need to add any more seasonings. Just pour a small spoonful on them.

Chili oil is fine.

If you are a family with poor craftsmanship, you have to come to the market to buy.

Cut half a bowl of radish into diced pieces and mix it with tempeh, and you will be able to make homemade kimchi!

Therefore, even though Sister Xiaojuan'er's stall is not big, she chose the right time to open her business and the business is actually quite good.

The people who come to Sanye to pick up eels and loaches early in the morning are all people from the restaurant. I don’t know how long Sanye can sleep at night. Anyway, those people from the store who come to pick up the eels and loaches in the early morning are already bags of food.

Good eel fillets and loach segments.

It can be seen that the third master's reputation in this regard is really good. Basically, he paid too much without wasting time, and no one opened the bag to check.

As the New Year approaches, restaurant business is also booming. Seeing that Mr. San has two cigarettes on each ear, you know that it is now a seller's market.

"Elbow, you're here?! Didn't you say you don't want to come?" Sister Xiaojuan'er seemed to be in a good mood. She must have been praised by her aunt yesterday.

"Trading for food" is my aunt's position and name for small traders. This is how my ancestors made a living, and eventually they starved to death, which made my aunt deeply hate this business.

However, if "trafficking for food" can reach the point where a month passes by one day, there is another story to tell.

In fact, Zhou Zhi knew that another wealth opportunity would soon come, and that was the sharp inflation in 1993.

It is not a good thing for those who hold cash, but for those who have materials, it is a great opportunity to suddenly increase their wealth.

However, no one seemed to be able to tell these things to anyone around him. Zhou Zhi greeted Sister Xiaojuaner: "Where is Brother Dayong?"

"He is in a hurry to go to work, and the factory is busy with pre-holiday inspections," Sister Xiaojuan'er said.

"You said that if you let Brother Dayong come out of the factory..."

"That won't work." Sister Xiaojuan'er objected directly: "Unless like Third Master, the grain is liberalized and the grain station's efficiency is not good, then you can consider it. The water plant is different. The salary has been raised twice this year."

Two salary increases can't last you a day, Zhou Zhi doesn't care about this in his heart. One of the couple has a stable job and the other works hard outside, which is the best combination in itself.

The most important thing is not here, the most important thing is that Sister Xiaojuan'er plays the lead role of Brother Dayong so smoothly and naturally, which fully shows that there is a complete drama between the two.

This discovery made Zhou Zhi very happy. He put down the eel fishing rack, and Zhou Zhi said hello to Third Master: "Good guy, if there are Jiachuan inspection-free products, Third Master, your Hu's aquatic products will definitely be the first to qualify!"

Mr. Hu is also a fun-loving person: "Here comes the elbow? I'll ride my motorcycle to accompany you later."

The third master is rowing eels. Not to mention, this action is a bit like when cousin An Ran is driving a motorcycle, he lowers his body and pretends to be driving a racing motorcycle.

Zhou Zhi was amused and picked up the eel rowing rack: "Third Master, do you want to ride a horse instead?"

"Horse riding? You still think my butt is not sticking out?"

"Hahahaha... It's not like the Olympics!" Zhou Zhi shook his head: "The riding style of high officials in ancient times."

"what does it mean?"

"Get up and I'll change the angle for you."

He put the eel stool against the white tile pillar, put the shelf in place, and replaced the eel scratching board with one with a mortise and tenon joint: "Come on, Third Master, let's try again."

The third master had basically understood what Zhou Zhi meant. He sat on it, picked up an eel from the basin, knocked it on the edge of the basin, knocked it unconscious and nailed it to the board. This time, he didn't need to bend down, he just had to raise his arms.

Get up, go down from top to bottom, and use the gravity of your arms to sink by themselves to complete the eel paddling action.

"Damn!" The third master's eyes were a little wet: "Elbow, all the hardships I have endured in the past few years have been in vain. If I had known I could be like this... This isn't so fucking difficult. Why didn't I think about it?

"

"I was watching your operation yesterday, and I felt a little uncomfortable." Zhou Zhi said, "I just wanted to improve it for you, with a little effort."

"It's such a small effort, you don't know how hard this job is." The third master wiped his hands on his apron: "My hands holding the knife are not dirty, thank you! I won't say more, thank you!"

Zhou Zhi reached out and shook his hand: "As you said yesterday, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. You try it first. I have to leave now. I have to buy some materials to cook for an old man today."

"Take this!" Mr. Hu picked up a bag of sliced ​​eels, weighing about two kilograms: "This is a suitable supplement for the old man in winter. Consider it my filial piety!"

"No, no, no!" Zhou Zhi hurriedly ran: "No need, I really won't be polite to you if you need it! Sister Xiaojuan'er, I'm leaving first!"

"Hey, goodbye, how can I be so embarrassed..." Hu Sanye called out quickly, but Zhou Zhi had already run away.

"Third Master, your friend is quite interesting." The person buying eels was also a regular customer and knew how important this thing was to Mr. Hu.

"This old man's waist can be straightened..." Mr. Hu happily stepped back on the stool and quickly rowed another eel: "I'm afraid you won't believe it. That's Director Zhou of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Young Master, actually we just met yesterday."

"We met through Juan'er. They are serious relatives."

"Third Master, please don't talk nonsense." Sister Xiaojuan'er, who was busy over there, quickly answered: "It's okay, he is Dayong's cousin, and Dayong and he are serious relatives."

"Then it's still the same thing? You can take this bag of eels to the elbow family later."
