Chapter 691 Aunt Sun has been thinking about the delicacy of her hometown for half her life - Wuhu shrimp roe noodles! [Please subscribe]
Lao Suntou is a man of action. After deciding to buy a car, he immediately searched for nearby car 4S stores, then took his bank card and walked out of the house.
"Old man, why are you going? It's time to have dinner!"
Aunt Sun didn't know why, so she chased him out of the kitchen and shouted at his back.
Lao Sun said without looking back:
"Go buy something and be back soon."
Shen Jiayue looked at this scene, then looked at Dundun who was also confused in her arms, and whispered:
"Grandpa Sun wants to buy a new car so that he can fish with you. You have to help him catch big fish."
"Meow~~~~"
The little guy’s face is full of confidence.
I can’t help with anything else, but it’s okay to catch a few more fish.
Aunt Sun was making scallion pancakes today, and now both hands were full of dough. She returned to the yard, smiled at Shen Jiayue and said:
"Our old grandson has always been like this. Even after retirement, he is still so busy. He even has to fight against time to eat. He is like someone trying to rob him... Living as a policeman, he is in a hurry all day long."
Shen Jiayue said with a smile:
"The reason why Uncle Sun is so prosperous is because you cleaned up the mess behind and took care of him. Everything is due to you."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun suddenly beamed:
"Young girl Yue is really good at talking. Don't go back today. Auntie makes scallion pancakes. Although it may not be as delicious as Xiaoxu's, it's not bad. A few days ago, Lao Qian and the others took advantage of me while I was cooking.
Come to steal the teacher."
Two days ago, Aunt Qian and the others came over to learn from Shoudao. They happened to catch up with Aunt Sun making pancakes, so they exchanged their experiences on making scallion pancakes.
But Aunt Sun wanted to save face, so she deliberately said she was here to steal her teacher.
Shen Jiayue was not polite either:
"If you say that, then I really want to try it. Let Xu Bao come over later and bring some of Uncle Sun's favorite dishes to go with the wine."
"Okay, then I'll do more."
Aunt Sun likes the excitement. When she heard that Lin Xu was coming to eat, she planned to add two more dishes, so that if there was anything she wanted to learn later, she could just ask for advice.
She and Lao Sun are usually the only two people at home, so only on weekends can she have a meal with her daughter or her son's family.
So now there are young people coming to the house for dinner, and Aunt Sun is very happy.
She was just going to work in the kitchen when she glanced at Dundun in Shen Jiayue's arms and said with a smile:
"Dundun, go pick a fish from the fish pond. Don't you like steamed fish? Grandma will steam one for you later so you can enjoy it."
When Dundun heard this, he immediately jumped to the wall of the fish pond and began to select the small fish he wanted to eat.
Aunt Sun returned to the kitchen and continued busy making dinner.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu arrived at Lao Suntou's home carrying packaged chicken feet, sausages, pork belly, sweet-skinned duck and other braised food. Behind him was Chen Yan, who was also carrying a bag of imported fruits.
"I said I couldn't see you and Dundun when I came back from get off work. It turned out that I came to Uncle Sun's house to get some food... Where is Uncle Sun? Yesterday, Ren Jie went to the suburbs to handle a case and found a small river that was suitable for wild fishing. He planned to invite him to join us. What about fishing?"
Aunt Sun came out of the kitchen carrying a basket of pancakes full of onion flavor and kept mumbling:
"I said I was going out to buy something, but I didn't come back after dinner... Don't wait for him, let's eat first, and we must have gone to the fishing gear store to pick out fishing gear again."
Chen Yan didn’t know about buying a car and said with a smile:
"Maybe I went to buy you a gift, that's why I took so long."
When Aunt Sun heard this, she started thinking even more:
"Come on, he doesn't care about anything except fishing. He has told me many times to buy a car so that he can take me out to dig wild vegetables and see my children. But he just doesn't listen and will squeeze into the bus all day long. Many neighbors ask us if we are
It’s not like I’ve encountered any difficulties. I’ve been working all my life and I can’t even afford a mobility scooter.”
Nowadays, almost every household has a mobility scooter. If you don’t have a mobility scooter, you will be an outlier.
Especially for someone like Lao Suntou who has been working in the police system for his whole life. Although he does not know his specific position, he wore a white shirt before retiring. If a police officer at this level cannot even afford a car, he is somewhat of a failure.
.
Shen Jiayue hinted with a smile:
"Maybe Uncle Sun will drive you a new car later."
"Is it him? He also has a new car. I would be grateful to be able to buy a toy car for my little grandson."
Just as he was talking, a car horn sounded at the door, followed by the sound of neighbors shouting:
"Hey, it's a new car. Did Lao Sun pick up the car?"
Then came the voice of Lao Suntou:
"I bought it for transportation. It's inconvenient without a car."
Aunt Sun was stunned. Did this old thing really buy a car?
She put down the bamboo basket and went outside the yard with Shen Jiayue, Chen Yanlinxu and found a square off-road vehicle parked at the door. The dark gray body color looked very low-key.
Lin Xu saw the car logo and said curiously:
"Tank 300? Uncle Sun, why did you buy such a vehicle?"
Nowadays, all electric vehicles are subsidized and the sales volume is very high. Lao Suntou buys a car for fishing in the suburbs. Shouldn't he buy an electric car?
Lao Suntou said:
"The best-selling electric cars have to wait, and there are no cars available. I tried the ones that were available, but I felt a little dizzy while driving. I have been driving gasoline cars at work all my life, so I just chose this one. I heard that this car is durable.
, I don’t feel bad if I bump into it, and I don’t have to worry about getting stuck when walking on muddy ground, which is pretty good.”
At this moment, Aunt Sun is still surprised:
"Old Sun, you just said you went shopping just to buy a car?"
"I don't want to surprise you. The trunk is quite spacious. I'll put some shovels in it and we can go out and dig wild vegetables at any time."
But Aunt Sun was not fooled:
"You want it to be easier for fishing, right?"
"It's all the same. Is the meal ready? Let's eat first. After dinner, we'll talk about it. In the next two days, try to get the license plate on the car and put on the car film. It should look more pleasing to the eye."
Cars without license plates cannot have explosion-proof film on the glass, so now the car has transparent glass and everything inside can be seen clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Chen Yan opened the door and got in, felt the seat, and said to Lao Suntou:
"When you get the license plate later, I'll change the car seat for you. This seat is too hard. It's uncomfortable to drive for a long time."
Lao Suntou declined politely:
"No, I'll just go fishing in the suburbs. It's not far, so there's no need to bother."
As a policeman, he certainly knows that it is illegal to modify a car, so he refuses it regardless of whether it is comfortable or not. He has never broken any rules as a policeman all his life, and even more so after retirement.
Chen Yan didn’t insist, so everyone returned to the yard and started eating dinner.
Today, Aunt Sun made a high-carbohydrate combination that is common in the north - scallion pancakes and pimple soup, as well as some braised food and dried fish nuggets brought by Lin Xu.
There was no food at home, and she had to steam fish for Dundun, so Aunt Sun simply fished out two fish and cleaned them up.
Give half of it to Dundun to eat, and cut the rest into pieces, marinate it, and then fry it in batter.
"Wow, my aunt's cooking is so good. This pimple soup tastes just like the one I ate when I was a kid. The scallion pancake is also delicious, chewy and layered. Sure enough, this kind of food is the most satisfying to the stomach."
Shen Jiayue took a piece of pancake and took a bite. The outside of the pancake is a layer of burnt shell, and the inside of the pancake has clear layers, with a strong aroma of green onions and peppercorns.
This is the most classic scallion pancake in Beijing’s alleys, and almost every house can make it.
Take a bite of pancakes, just a bite of shredded pickles, and then take a sip of pimple soup along the edge of the bowl. This is the most comfortable enjoyment in Yanjing Hutong.
Aunt Sun said:
"When I first got married, I wasn't used to this kind of food at all. I didn't expect that after eating it for decades, I'm not very used to the food in my hometown."
Lin Xu asked:
"Auntie, where is your hometown?"
"AH, AH Wuhu... When Lao Sun was in his twenties, he went to our place to handle a case. I was working as a waiter in a guest house. I fell in love with him for some reason. Maybe the really good-looking shirt he was wearing at that time was too nice...
…”
Lao Suntou said dissatisfied:
"What shirt? It's obviously just for sex. When I was young, I wanted to be tall and handsome... Let's put it this way, at that time, even Xiao Lin had to stay away from the edge."
Lin Xu was stunned for a while before he realized what this temporary avoidance meant.
I originally thought that 50-50 was already a very shameless term, but I didn’t expect that Lao Suntou actually came up with another way to avoid the edge.
It’s hard to say whether you can avoid being sharp in terms of appearance, but in terms of being thick-skinned, don’t talk about yourself. Even if you come here in person, you have to honestly say that you’re the loser.
Chen Yan asked curiously:
"Auntie, which one of you took the initiative?"
Aunt Sun said immediately:
"He kept bragging to me about how great the capital was. I asked him if he had noodles? He said they were everywhere and could make people vomit... After so many years of marriage, I didn't see what he said.
Wherever there are noodles, there are bowl after bowl of dumpling soup, which I drank for most of my life."
Lao Suntou said proudly:
"The noodles you mentioned are hand-made noodles that every household makes. They are everywhere in the capital... If I didn't say so, would you be willing to come to the capital with me?"
At that time, it was quite difficult for the two people to be together when they were in love. The capital got a transfer order to transfer Aunt Sun to the capital, otherwise she would not be qualified to enter the capital.
For this matter, Lao Suntou begged his grandfather and grandma to help him, and finally brought the Wuhu girl he fell in love with at first sight to the capital, and has been living there ever since.
Aunt Sun has gone from a Wuhu girl who was standing at a hutong at a loss to now an old Yanjing native who is full of Beijing movies.
Lifestyle habits have also changed from small noodles to northern foods such as pimple soup and stick noodle porridge.
Chen Yan asked curiously:
"What are knife noodles? They are hand-made noodles, ma'am?"
"No, it's completely different. The noodles are made with eggs and alkaline noodles, and then flattened little by little with a bamboo pole. Finally, they are cut into very thin noodles. They are boiled in a pot, taken out, and poured with bone soup.
Sprinkle a spoonful of shrimp seeds..."
As she was speaking, Shen Jiayue said immediately:
"Tongue 2 has photographed this. It's called Wuhu Shrimp Roe Noodles. I thought it was so familiar. Especially the steps of adding shrimp roe are exactly the same as the one in Tongue 2."
After getting two bottles of shrimp roe two days ago, Shen Jiayue carefully studied how to eat it, and then saw a clip from "Bite of the Tongue 2". She knew that shrimp roe could be eaten like this, and planned to ask Lin Xu to take the time to make it once.
Lin Xu also thought of this. He looked at Aunt Sun and said with a smile:
"My senior brother just gave me two cans of shrimp roe. Let's do this. Tomorrow I will make shrimp roe noodles in the store to make up for your regret, so that you can eat serious shrimp roe noodles in the capital."

Aunt Sun’s face was full of surprise:
"This relationship is good, but... is it troublesome? If it is troublesome, forget it. I want to go back to my hometown for lunch. It only takes half a day to get there, which is very convenient."
"It's not troublesome. We happen to have a bamboo pole for making bamboo noodles in the kitchen. When the time comes, just mix the noodles and press them. It's very simple."
There are many similarities between small knife noodles and bamboo noodles. For example, they both use eggs and noodles, and they need to be rolled into dough pieces little by little with the help of large moso bamboo.
After being pressed into dough sheets, you also need to cut it into thin strips with a knife.
But the difference is that Xiaodao noodles do not use whole eggs when making noodles, but add water and edible alkali. It is because of the alkali that the noodles do not have the exaggerated elasticity of Zhusheng noodles and taste better.
On the contrary, it is soft, soft and fragrant.
You cannot drink the original soup used to cook the noodles, because if you add up a little, the alkali content in the noodle soup will increase. Drinking it rashly will not be good for your stomach.
Under normal circumstances, after the noodles are cooked, take them out and put them in a bowl. You need to add another spoonful of cooked pork bone stock or fish soup. The noodles made in this way are both delicious and full of rich flavor.
When the soup is poured on it, the fresh aroma of the noodles has actually wafted out, but it cannot be eaten at this time because it still lacks the soul of Wuhu noodles - shrimp roe.
Shrimp roe is a very common natural condiment in the Yangtze River Delta region.
During the breeding season of river shrimp, fish out the clumps of shrimp seeds, wash them clean, add rice wine, onion, ginger and other condiments, and steam them in a pot.
After steaming, spread out in the sun to dry the surface moisture, then pour it into an oil-free and water-free pot to bake to create a fresh aroma.
In the absence of MSG, chicken essence and other freshness-enhancing condiments, shrimp roe plays a role in enhancing freshness. Not only shrimp roe is used in small noodles, but also in Yangchun noodles, pot noodles, fresh shrimp noodles and various dishes in the entire Yangtze River Delta region.
, you can all see the shrimp roe.
Those small dark brown particles are added to the soup, which not only instantly improves the quality of the soup, but also tastes full of flavor.
Whenever the shrimp roe is bitten, a strong umami flavor will burst out in the mouth, making people's appetite immediately whet their appetite, and even the pores all over the body will feel comfortable.
Shen Jiayue took a sip of the pimple soup and said expectantly:
"When will you start making noodles tomorrow? I can't wait."
Lin Xu said:
"Let's make more tomorrow morning so that everyone in the store can taste the delicacies of my aunt's hometown. I talk about Wuhu taking off every day. This time I want everyone to try Wuhu noodles. It's really delicious."
p>
Chen Yan took a bite of the pancake in distress. If it weren't for losing weight, she would have to go to the store to try it even if it hails tomorrow morning.
But because you want to lose weight, it’s better to eat less high-carbohydrate foods like noodles.
But... I really want to try the noodles with shrimp roe.
She took her mobile phone and sent a message to Zeng Xiaoqi, telling her troubles.
I originally wanted to be comforted by my good sisters, but Director Zeng mercilessly attacked me:
"Are you really going to make small noodles tomorrow morning? I like this kind of noodles so much. I have to discuss it with Yuanyuan tonight and set three alarm clocks. I can't afford it... I will eat at least two bowls tomorrow. How about you, Baby Yan? Eat it.
How many bowls?"
Chen Yan: "..."
It’s unnecessary for me to send you this message.
She replied a few random words and ended the chat.
Then she sent a message to Shu Yun and others. Like Zeng Xiaoqi, no one cared about her weight loss. Everyone just wanted to know how delicious noodles with shrimp roe could be.
Shu Yun was originally working the evening shift tomorrow, so it would be no problem to come to the store at ten o'clock.
But she planned to leave at six o'clock, which shows how tempting the shrimp roe noodles are.
"Yueyue, they don't comfort me..."
Chen Yan put down her phone and wanted to eat another pancake, but after calculating the calories in the pancake, she finally held back.
Shen Jiayue said with a smile:
"It's simple. When you give birth to a child later, let everyone give a big gift. If the aunt gives the smaller red envelope, let the child pee on that aunt."
Chen Yan:??????
Where did you learn this bad idea?
No, I have to write it down in case I need it later... Isn't this just a revenge strategy?
After the meal, Lin Xu carried Dundun back, who was also full and drunk. At this time, several neighbors came to look at the new car, and Lao Suntou also specifically talked about the necessity of buying a car.
But Lin Xu knew very well that this must be to maintain the image of the master as the president, so he bought the car.
Because I have a car, I can take Dundun to go fishing.
After Dundun arrives, the chance of catching a big fish will quickly increase.
Back in the store, Lin Xu ordered the car boy:
"When we get to the store tomorrow morning, we will first fry some crucian carp, and then use boiling water to make a thick white fish soup. Tomorrow morning we will eat shrimp roe noodles. Fish soup and pork bone soup are both essential."
The fish soup is to increase the freshness, and the pork bone stock is to increase the aroma.
When these two kinds of soup are poured on the noodles and sprinkled with shrimp seeds, it feels delicious.
When serving noodles, add some cooked lard to the bottom of the bowl to give the noodles a plump texture. Finally, sprinkle some chopped chives to bring the texture and flavor of the noodles to its peak.
Chezi agreed:
"Okay, I'll start working on these when I get here tomorrow morning."
After explaining this matter, Lin Xu went to the pastry department and told the morning shift chef to make noodles first, so that when Lin Xu came over, he could start making noodles directly, which would improve the efficiency a lot.
After explaining this, Lin Xu did not go back directly from get off work, but got busy in the kitchen.
Wei Qian and Song Tiantian took leave to return to their hometown, and the kitchen was leaderless. He had to be more careful, lest there was no one to manage the kitchen and the quality of the dishes would decline, which would ultimately affect Lin Ji's reputation.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock, when the evening rush hour was over, that he packed up and drove home.
The next morning, the young couple got up, and as soon as they finished washing, they carried Dundun, who was still awake, downstairs to the store, which surprised Dundun.
Because I usually eat at home in the morning.
It is used to opening its eyes when it smells the smell of meat, but today it is so abnormal.
"I'm going to eat something delicious today, so go to the store early... Your breakfast is also in the store, so you can eat it when you get there."
When Dundun heard this, he became energetic.
I drove to Yingchun Street, parked the car, and the family of three walked into the store.
Lin Xu put on the chef's uniform, immediately rolled up his sleeves and walked into the pastry department, and started making Wuhu's famous food - shrimp roe noodles!
