There is fire and smoke in the world, who can leave three meals a day? To eat three meals a day at a fixed time, someone has to do it.
There is an old saying: a gentleman goes to the kitchen, although the interpretation is different, the kitchen is not a popular place among the crowd, right?
Wang Zengqi said:
" is willing to cook for others is less selfish ."
If you can meet someone who is willing to cook for others How happy it is.
So there is today's essay. The "I" in this essay is my cousin.
Fortunately to have such a cousin in this life, I use the following text to record my gratitude to him.
Readers who are willing to read the essay can empathize with the editor’s insights in the cousin’s one dish and one soup.
Steamed buns, capers, bean dregs vegetable soup
I did not love to cook since I was a child. Back then, my dad was far away from the border, and my mother took our brothers at home. My mother was sick and cooked very slowly.
During the meal time and time again, our brothers grumbled with hunger, but mother's meal was always not ready.
So I will cook by myself, and stand on the bench if the stove is not high enough.
I will never forget when I was 11 years old, making steamed buns for my cousins.
That year, my mother and aunts were on the reservoir construction site, and they couldn't come back during the dam closing battle.
Our cousins have dinner together. Among the cousins, I am not the oldest. Apart from the oldest cousin, I do the best food.
When I was struggling to make "rice-free cooking" on the stove, my cousin actually said that I wanted to eat steamed buns.
In the mountain village of East Hubei , there were few wheat varieties in that month, and steamed buns were hard to eat during the rest of the year except for the Dragon Boat Festival.
The cousin had moved a little bit early. From her godmother, she asked for 3.5 kilograms of flour, and the cousin's godfather was at the grain station.
I saw the extremely precious flour. At the age of 11, I started making steamed buns for the first time in my life.
Under the guidance of the old grandmother next door, I melted the old noodles , kneaded the noodles, made the noodles, and made the steamed buns. Although the water was added a little bit, the shape of the buns was flat and unsightly, but the noodles still rose and the steamed buns tasted good.
I fried a small bowl of capers, and my grandma next door gave me a bowl of fresh bean dregs. After adding two cabbage, I made a can of bean curd soup.
We sat around the table, each with three steamed buns, a bowl of soup, one mouthful of steamed buns with pickles, and a small sip of soup. The delicacy is still between the lips.
Grandpa’s birthday banquet
In the autumn of 19 years old, grandpa turned 69 years old. The customs in the Edong villages are: men behave falsely and women behave solidly. The 69th birthday is an important birthday for grandpa.
But in the rural poverty back then, the adults had no money. Looking at my grandfather’s disappointed eyes, I made up my mind to hold a birthday banquet for my grandfather. I could only save the 35 yuan draft that I had saved over the past two years. The plan is to buy clothes and books for the family during the Chinese New Year.
I calculated my 35 yuan, how to arrange a three-table banquet.
After thinking about it all night, I made a few menus, and finally decided on a banquet with a veggie pairing.
Three bottles of sorghum wine and two bottles of gas-flavored beverages, 12 catties of fat and lean pork, 6 catties of fish, apples, lotus root, and some small side dishes. I spent 35 yuan on nothing.
(Note: 1.2 yuan bottle of sorghum wine that year,Meat and fish are less than one yuan per catty. )
At the three tables of banquets, I learned to cook the dishes in the recipe book. The folks ate it for the first time. , Without tofu, I boiled fish with pickled vegetables, steamed dried beans with fatty pork and made up ten dishes...

It's over, only vegetable soup is left on the table. My aunt left me two taels of wine and a small bowl of dizzy vegetables.
I divided the wine into two and I must drink it. Grandpa was so excited that he burst into tears, and he evened me half of the wine in his glass. My grandpa and grandson said "Cheers!"
Drank it.
During the Spring Festival that year, my uncle and uncle each gave me 20 yuan.
Grandpa has long slept in Xiashanwa in Yanluoping.
Whenever I think of my grandfather's 69-year-old birthday banquet, I confide my grandson's love in one dish and one soup.
If I didn't know how to cook back then, I would be powerless.
My cousin’s 71st birthday party
My cousin is the oldest of our cousins. On her 69th birthday, I happened to be away on a business trip and I couldn’t go back to my hometown.
Her 71st birthday, according to the custom of her hometown, is her little birthday. I went back to her hometown specially.
Changes in the times, in today's era, a few tables of banquet money are no longer planned.
But no one wants to cook in the kitchen, let alone a crowded banquet.
The cousin was born on July 19th in the lunar calendar, and it was the hot summer in eastern Hubei.No one wants to enter the kitchen even more.
The two tables in the house are from my own family. They are playing cards and chatting under the air conditioner and fan. I am going to eat at the farmhouse behind the house at noon.
It was already ten-thirty when I entered the door, and I asked for me to cook at noon. First open the menu for the niece and son-in-law, buy a few catties of ribs, a few fresh corn, a six catties fat head fish and four catties farm tofu.
Instructed my cousin and niece to go to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh vegetables, and from the small refrigerator in the car, I took out the double fried sausage, roast duck with beer .
Spare Ribs Fish and so on. I bought it back, and I started to get busy in the kitchen.
Pork ribs, grilled corn, steamed fish heads with pickled peppers, and fish cubes in tofu make one dish, one soup, fried bitter gourd , and fried winter melon. After more than two hours of work, the two dishes are ready.
Even though I was soaked with sweat at the time, I was happy in my heart-
Now, a life encounter is fate. My cousin is 71 years old. On this hot summer day, I cook one dish and one soup to entrust the love of sister and brother in this life.
written at the back
Someone asked me:
At the moment when I place an order on my mobile phone and the food is delivered to my doorstep, you are still willing to go in the hot summer, cold and rainy winter The vegetable market chooses dishes for family and friends, and cooks one dish and one soup in the kitchen?
My answer is,Copy and paste the persuasion of my cousin to persuade me to learn and love cooking:
A person who is willing to cook for his family and friends in the kitchen over the years will surely become a kind, careful, enthusiastic person. A generous person is also a person full of warmth, love and creativity.
In the daily cooking, you understand that Mr. Wang Zengqi once said:
"Look at the green and fresh melons and vegetables, which makes people feel the joy of life. The greatest pleasure is Watching family members or guests are very happy to eat, and the dishes are at the bottom."
From several stories of my cousin, can you feel the joy of cooking that he said?
What I can be sure of is that whenever I eat a delicious dish, I think of my cousin.
