In the 1980s, cultural life in rural areas was very scarce.

In addition to listening to loudspeaker broadcasts, what farmers look forward to most is watching movies.

There are only two projectors in a commune, but there are more than a dozen brigades and hundreds of production teams in a commune.

Therefore, the production team releases movies almost once or twice a year.

Finally it was this village's turn, and the villagers seemed to have encountered some great happy event.

Sometimes, they would pick up the projector early during the day and prepare chicken, duck and fish waiting for the projectionist to arrive.

The open space in the center of the village has been cleaned spotlessly.

Xu Chunsheng and his assistant who carved steel plates, with the help of enthusiastic villagers, pulled up a large white screen in the middle.

Lou Deyi and Lao Zhaotou were waiting at the door of Li Xia's house with chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients in their hands.

Jiang Shunwang and Wang Guifen were also on the side, ready to help Li Xia.

As soon as Li Xia's donkey cart arrived and the courtyard door was opened, Wang Guifen diligently went to the kitchen to light the fire.

The only purpose of such enthusiasm is to let the movie projectionist eat early and show the movie early.

Old Zhaotou asked Li Xia:"Xiao Li, how do you cook this chicken and duck?"

Li Xia is a chef, so naturally he has to ask him how to cook the dishes.

If you follow the method of Lao Zhaotou's family, the chicken will be stewed whole, and you can eat it fresh. You can also drink chicken soup, or the chicken stewed with mushrooms.

For duck meat, cut it plain and cook it.

The above are all common practices. These days, you can only eat meat during the holidays. Who wants to study how to make dishes? There is no chance.

Li Xia thought for a while and said:"This chicken is quite fat. Let's cut it into pieces and make a three-cup chicken later.""

"Let me handle the duck meat and make it into a fish-flavored twice-cooked duck."

Lou Deyi and Lao Zhaotou were stunned when they heard this.

Three-cup chicken?

Twice-cooked duck with fish flavor?

They have never heard of these two dish names.

In fact, the two dishes Li Xia mentioned are local specialties. , you can know these two dishes if you go to restaurants often.

But Lou Deyi and Lao Zhao couldn't go out to a restaurant even once in the first year. Rural people have stuttering in their homes. Going out to restaurants is a waste of money and a luxury.

Neither of them can bear it. He swallowed. Just hearing the names of these two dishes, Li Xia's cooking must be extremely delicious!

Good guy!

Fortunately, Li Xia's family is hosting today, and the movie projectionist can also enjoy a high-level reception!

They all know about movie screenings. Every time the members go to the mountains and countryside to play movies, they have to eat.

But this time is different. Li Xia's cooking skills are amazing, and he has real skills.

The meals he cooks are not the standard for entertaining in ordinary rural areas.

In the past, Li Xia's family Made three times a day, the aroma wafts out, making children cry and adults can't stand it.

The taste is so tempting!

If Teacher Xu is happy and addicted to it, maybe it will be better.

It would be great to have a movie on the day!

A group of people took the dishes in, followed Li Xia, and squeezed into the kitchen.

Chu Mengxi and Lin Xiaomei didn’t need to help, so they accompanied them The two little guys were very happy and took out the children's tricycle.

Lin Xiaomei's eyes lit up:"This children's tricycle is good, where did it come from?"

Chu Mengxi:"Your brother-in-law made it for the two little guys."

"Be good! Why does your brother-in-law know everything?!"

The two breast dumplings were showing off in front of Lin Xiaomei:

"Aunt~! Our tricycle is beautiful, isn’t it?~?"

On the handle of the tricycle, there is a small windmill with bamboo leaves inserted on the left and a bell on the right.

Although it is for children, it has everything it should have, it is small and unique, and it is indeed very beautiful.

This reminded Lin Xiaomei of her childhood. It would be nice to have a branch to play with.

"Uncle Ma~! Did you have a tricycle when you were a kid?~?"

Hiss~!

This little guy is heart-wrenching, right?!

Lin Xiaomei glared at her and said,"Come on, let Aunty sit down too!"

The little breast dumpling quickly shook her chubby little hands and said:

"Uncle Ma~! Your butt is too big~! Can't sit down~!"

"!!!"

"Whose butt are you talking about?"

Another heartache?

Lin Xiaomei quit:"No, I have to sit down today!!"

"ah~!"

"Sister~! Run~! Aunt Ma is here~!"

The little girl quickly hugged the little dog and got on the tricycle. Duoduo stepped on the pedal skillfully and ran away with a squeak.

The movie venue in the center of the village was very lively. A group of little kids gathered around the projector and watched curiously. Some kids wanted to touch it, but their parents pulled them back.

If the projector was damaged, it would be a huge sin, not to mention delaying the movie viewing, and I couldn't afford to pay for it. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Two naughty dumplings rode a tricycle to show off their style, and the small windmill on the handlebars spun leisurely.

A group of little kids turned their attention from the projector to the tricycle and ran behind the two milk dumplings.

In the kitchen of Li Xia's house.

Old Zhaotou chopped the chicken into pieces, washed it three times according to Li Xia's instructions, washed away the blood, and then handed it to Chef Li.

Li Xia has prepared the ingredients, sliced ​​ginger, garlic, chopped green onion, chili, sesame oil, sweet rice wine... The full name of Three Cup Chicken is Gan-style Three Cup Chicken. The so-called traditional three cups are one cup of rice wine, one cup of soy sauce, and one cup of rice wine. lard.

Lou Deyi and Lao Zhaotou watched Li Xia cooking.

I thought that this is what the three cups of chicken means!

Learned a lot!

Li Xia asked Wang Guifen to control the fire in the stove to medium heat. Put the first cup of lard into the pot. After the snowflake lard melted and smoked, add ginger slices and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

In an instant, the whole kitchen was filled with aroma, and the smell of oil and meat made everyone inside swallow their saliva.

Li Xia put the chicken pieces into the pot and fried them piece by piece. Try to keep the skin side of the chicken facing up to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

Fry the chicken pieces until the soup oozes out, add the second cup - rice wine, the third cup - soy sauce, add some sugar, cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.

After it's cooked, add the green chilies.

The moment you open the lid of the pot, a rich aroma hits your face. The soup is rich and delicious, tempting your soul!

The three-cup chicken dish is actually not that difficult, and the main emphasis is on the freshness of the ingredients.

There is nothing wrong with the ingredients. They come from Old Man Zhao’s house and are paid for by the village committee.

The free-range chicken raised in rural areas can't be fresher. The meat is firm and tender, the skin is crispy and the bones are soft, the fat is plump and the taste is delicious.

Remove from pan and serve.

The attractive color and mellow aroma made Lou Deyi and Lao Zhaotou salivate.

If their daughter-in-law cooks this chicken, it will just be cut plain or stewed, there is no third way.

For movie projectionists who often eat and drink, they have long been tired of eating it plain or stewed.

As soon as Li Xia's three-cup chicken appeared, the level went up immediately.

It feels like a state-owned hotel!

The fragrance wafted out of the yard, and the nearby villagers began to swallow their saliva when they smelled it.

"It's a familiar smell again, Li Xia's family is in trouble!"

"Our family has already had dinner, and our stomachs are very full, but we still can't help but salivate when we smell this strong aroma!"

"There’s no need to mention Boss Li’s craftsmanship. Teacher Xu and his assistant are in for a treat today!"

"Chu Yatou and the two milk babies are really lucky. With Li Xia here, they can eat in restaurants every day!"

"And it's not an ordinary restaurant. Li Xia's cooking skills are at the level of a high-end restaurant chef!"
