"Brother Guozheng, look, I'm right. This is something that is cheating on the eyes, without the smell of tomatoes. What's the name of this?" Sun Dahai complained to Zhang Guozheng, but unfortunately Zhang Guozheng didn't know how to cook, so Sun Dahai played the piano to the cow.

Fortunately, Sun Dahai was prepared for a long time, so he took out the tomato sauce he bought from the cabinet at the Friendship Store, opened it and added it in.

He poured the noodles into the pot, added salt and pepper, and stir-fryed together.

A rich mixed fragrance came out, and Sun Dahai nodded with satisfaction.

"We're back!" As Aunt Xiaoyue shouted, everyone arrived after lunch.

Today there are many people, so when I eat noodles, I have to cook noodles in the room again. Grandma Zheng and Jiang Xiuping squeezed into the kitchen and started rolling noodles. The two aunts took a pot and went to the stoves in the two rooms to boil water, preparing to cook noodles.

Li Cuifeng talked with Bruce Lee and Tang Tian in the canteen. More than ten years ago, Bruce Lee spent three years in high school when he lived in the old house of Sun's Xihuangcheng. In the first year of the year, Cao Yong had not yet gone to Xiangjiang. He studied and lived with Bruce Lee in the old house. Now, he met him, so he was naturally intimate.

Zhang Yujie took Sun Yuanyuan and Sun Dahe to play in the yard.

In the kitchen, Sun Dahai was still busy. He asked Zhang Guozheng to wash a cabbage, and after washing and cutting it, blanch it in a pot of noodles. He used another pot of fire-eye to cook. After the pot was hot, Sun Dahai took out a large jar, which contained the large pieces of beef brisket and beef waist meat stewed yesterday, including the soup and meat. Sun Dahai put half a jar into the pot in one breath.

This was a few days ago, Chef Cao specially asked the black market to sell meat to keep for the house to prepare for the New Year. Beef brisket and waist are the best parts used to stew beef. At Sun Dahai's request, Chef Cao bought 30 kilograms at once, and stewed them in three large pots last night for more than three hours. Fortunately, there was a stove in the house in winter. Chef Cao and Sun Dahai put the beef stewed pot on a gas stove and boiled it on a high heat. After adding enough water and ingredients, they placed it on the stove in three rooms respectively, and slowly simmered it.

As for beef tendon meat, Chef Cao also bought more than 20 kilograms and made beef sauce. The meat from different parts of the beef has its own characteristics and different ways to eat it. The beef tendon meat is very thin, with thick shredded meat and very little fat. If stewed, it will taste more and will cause tooth stuffing. Sun Dahai's family has many elderly people and is also twitchy, so they generally don't eat it very much.

Beef sauce is a great product for wine.

Sun Dahai remembered what a hero often said in "Water Margin" when he entered a tavern: "Waiter, make two-point wine, and have good beef cut into three or two pounds."

When it comes to ancient literary works, many contents cannot be carefully considered. In the era of farming with low productivity, oxen were the treasures of a household or even a village. In the Song Dynasty, oxen was even more protected. The oxen of one's own family, old age, sickness and death must be reported. Killing cattle for no reason will be impeached by the emperor. In other words, asking for beef in taverns in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to ordering tiger meat or panda meat in restaurants now.

...

Beef sauce can be regarded as a very high-end cold dish at family banquets and is loved by drinkers. Although Chef Cao and Sun Dahai made a lot of beef sauce, they actually ate very little at home, mainly for relatives, friends and neighbors to add a dish on their own table during the Chinese New Year.

It is not unreasonable to say that the Sun and Cao families have good popularity. Whether in the Xihuang City or in the Heping Gate, they are not only polite to people, but also help when they are in trouble. This tradition of helping everyone add vegetables every year during the Chinese New Year is also very important.

This year, Sun Dahai started to help the chef, and his family had more work. From the New Year to the 30th, almost every night, Chef Cao and Sun Dahai would lead everyone to prepare various foods for the New Year.

The fried noodles were ready. Sun Dahai made this big pot, with dishes and noodles, which was more than three pounds. It was lunchtime when eating noodles. Sun Dahai took out three large fish plates for steaming fish at home, and then put all the fried noodles in.

Zhang Guozheng served the dishes back and forth.

Seeing that the beef was too hot, Sun Dahai used a briquette of beef from the broth and took a few pieces of the beef from the broth onto the chopping board, cut it into small pieces with a knife, put it into a large porcelain basin, and added beef soup. Finally, Sun Dahai took the blanched cabbage into another basin, added a little beef soup, and made two spoonfuls of noodle soup into it.

Because the basin is small, there is a lot of beef and soup left in the pot. After Sun Dahai packed up the pot of cooking noodles, he placed the pot of hot beef on the stove and continued to heat up.

Good luck, work is over.

Sun Dahai washed his hands and returned to the canteen. The two pots of noodles were ready, and his mother was serving noodles for everyone.

The noodles need to be cooked. Today, there are Bruce Lee and Sun Dahe at home, as well as guests Tang Tian, ​​so Jiang Xiuping and Li Cuifeng come to accompany them, and aunt and Grandma Zheng continue to cook noodles.

There are a bunch of bowls, basins, plates, and large and small on the table.

A large bowl of fried sauce, a large plate of chopped radish strips, cucumber strips, and a bowl of Laba vinegar made by Liang Jingjing. Because it is winter, the dishes are a little less, and there is no way. This is a simplified version of the fried sauce noodles in the capital.

A large pot of beef and soup, plus beef soup blanched cabbage, a small bowl of coriander and a small bowl of vinegar, and a plate of fried chili oil. This is a mass-sale version of a small bowl of beef + noodles.

Red tomatoes with tomato sauce, green green peppers and garlic sprouts, and white noodle slices, accompanied by spicy onions and tender mutton slices, this is a standard version of an exotic dish with excellent color, aroma and flavor.

In addition, there is also a set of wine lovers’ meals on the table: fried peanuts, sweet and sour radish skin, ginger juice, pineapple eggs, and garlic juice.

Cao Yong asked: "Brother Xiaolong, Brother Tang Tian, ​​let's have a fewer sips at noon?"

After years of military career, where can there be no good wine? In addition, seeing such a sumptuous lunch and a set meal for drinkers, Bruce Lee and Tang Tian couldn't help swallowing and nodding.

There were a few cardboard boxes stacked in the corner of the canteen. Cao Yong walked over and asked, "What to drink? Moutai, Wuliangye, or Fenjiu?" The trip to the Friendship Store brought together several famous wines at home.

Tang Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have Erguotou? If not, I will go to the side dish store to buy a bottle, and it will be very soon."

Bruce Lee also said: "Yes, when he was in the army, he wanted to drink Erguotou in his hometown."

"Don't have to go out to buy it, you have it at home." Cao Yong said happily while unpacking the box: "It was my sister-in-law who reminded me that I bought it. It turned out that everyone thought that Feitian Moutai, which costs 7 yuan per bottle, was better than Erguotou, which costs less than these few cents."

"Not necessarily. If the southerners come, they will probably have to drink Maotai and Wuliangye." Sun Dahai interrupted. Oh, he is still young! Sun Dahai looked at him.

They were very jealous of drinking, but they had no choice.

He picked up an empty plate, served a small plate of fried noodles and placed it in front of his younger brother Sun Dahe.

"Brother, come and try my brother's skills."

Sun Dahe had been greedy for a long time, but he was very lawful. He said to Sun Dahai: "Thank you brother." Then he looked at Jiang Xiuping.

Jiang Xiuping was very satisfied with Sun Dahe's performance. It was very good for a three-year-old child to do this. She said, everyone can eat it casually, and lunch started.

Three drinkers sat at one end of the long table to entertain themselves. Li Cuifeng said, "Xiaoyong, they have been on the train for a day and a half. You can eat a bowl of noodles and place it at the bottom and drink it slowly. Xiaolong, take good care of Tang Tian." Then he ignored them and sat at the other end with Jiang Xiuping, picking up food for Sun Dahe and Sun Yuanyuan, and taking care of them for dinner.

Sun Dahe, Cao Yue and the Zhang brothers and sisters were sitting in the middle of the long table. Cao Yue wanted to participate on both sides. He listened to a few words here and said a few words there, and obviously felt that he was too busy.

The three of them did not discuss with each other. They all ate fried noodles with sauce. While eating, they also said that it was the taste.

"Brother, this noodles are delicious." Sun Yuanyuan's mouth was filled with fried noodles, and she still praised Sun Dahai.

Sun Dahe also nodded in agreement, and at the same time stuffed his mouth wide.

Sun Dahai smiled and said, "If you like to eat, eat more."

Zhang Yujie also likes to eat fried noodles, but her brother is not interested in such colorful foods and is considering what to eat.

Sun Dahai was actually not very interested in fried noodles. He knew that Zhang Guozheng had a lot of appetite and loved to eat meat, so he picked up a bowl of white noodles served by his aunt, put the blanched cabbage, poured the soup and meat juice, and handed it to Zhang Guozheng. Then he mixed a bowl himself and ate it in big mouthfuls.
