Lin Yi stood up and sat back at his desk, picked up the phone and called the brigade commander.
Soon a voice came from the other side of the phone: "It's Xiao Lin."
Lin Yi quickly replied: "Brigadier, it's me. My men caught some big river fish today. I saw them and they are very fresh. How about I go to your place to cook them for you to eat in the evening?"
Brigadier Meng likes food. Not only does he like to eat, but his cooking skills are also top-notch. So when he heard that Lin Yi had fresh ingredients, he did not refuse: "Okay, then you can go directly to my place in the evening and I will give it to the guard."
I didn’t even say hello and let you in directly.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi immediately got up and changed into casual clothes, and then prepared to go to the market to buy fish. The brigade commander was an expert in gourmet food, and he could tell whether it was a big river fish at a glance. If he deceived him about the ingredients, he would be in trouble.
When the instructor saw Lin Yi put on his casual clothes and hurriedly walked out of the camp gate, he was a little confused. What was the battalion commander doing? He had to change into his casual clothes first.
Lin Yi's luck was not particularly good. After asking around at the vegetable market, no vendor mentioned any big river fish. This kind of fish caught from the big river is not enough for him to eat. How can he sell it?
Even if there are some for sale, they will be sold out as soon as they are brought here. After all, how many fish can be caught just by fishing?
Besides, now that life is affluent, everyone likes to eat some game. We cannot usually eat game on land, but eating wild fish in the river is not a psychological burden.
Lin Yi left the market with some disappointment, then immediately got in the car and rushed to the river.
The fishing guys should have gained something at this point, but after walking around the river for a long time, they didn't see many people fishing. This made Lin Yi a little strange. Logically speaking, there should not be enough fishing spots on the river.
Yes, why is there no one now?
So Lin Yi parked the car on the side of the road and ran to an old man. Lin Yi saw a cigarette butt at the old man's feet. He immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it over. He asked kindly: "Old man, are you fishing?"
How many fish are there?”
When the old man saw that the cigarette Lin Yi handed out was Huazi, he took it easily. Lin Yi lit it immediately. The old man took a nice breath and then kicked the fish basket: "No, it's just a few small crucian carps.
The temperature is not good now, so I plan to fish again in the evening. Why, young man, you want to come fishing too."
Lin Yi didn't have fishing gear in his hand, and he didn't have time to fish, so he scratched his head: "I can't catch any more. I want to buy a few fish, but I don't see anyone fishing around here. It's also difficult."
The old man finished smoking a cigarette and fished out the fish basket: "If you like these small fish, I will give them to you."
Lin Yi didn't expect that the old man would be so generous, and his face was filled with joy: "How embarrassing, I'd better buy it."
The old man waved his hand: "Even if you don't want it, I will have to let it go later. The refrigerator at home can't fit it in. When I put it back, the old lady will scold me. I'll see if you're a good person. I'll give it to you. Let's go find a bag to put it away."
Lin Yi saw that although the fish was not big, it was indeed a fish from the big river, so he stopped being pretentious and took out the plastic bag from his pocket and put it all away. Before leaving, Lin Yi handed over the packet of Huazi from his pocket.
He walked over and said: "Reciprocity, old man, you don't need any money, just take this cigarette and smoke it."
The old man was also happy and took it over smoothly: "It seems that I took advantage of it. Thank you, young man."
Lin Yi said goodbye to the old man and drove to the brigade commander's dormitory.
Because the brigade commander notified him in advance, Lin Yi drove in directly without being blocked by the guard. In fact, even if the brigade commander did not notify him, as the battalion commander, he would have no problem entering the agency compound.
After all, the job is here.
But that's about it. If you want to enter the brigade commander's dormitory, it's impossible to enter without the brigade commander saying hello.
The brigade commander's dormitory is a house with two bedrooms and one living room. In fact, according to the standards of military barracks, the area of an apartment for division-level cadres should be between 92 and 120 square meters. This square meter should be enough for a three-bedroom and one-living room.
House type.
However, the Synthetic Brigade is only at the deputy division level. Only the brigade commander and political commissar can meet the standard of division-level cadres. Even the deputy brigade commander is only a deputy brigade-level cadre of the regiment. Therefore, most of the apartments built are at the regiment level from 72 to 92.
Apartment standard.
Therefore, the houses of the brigade commander and political commissar could only be built on the top floor. After all, the top floor is large and can only be built horizontally to maximize the area. After the brigade commander saw the house at that time, he did not move in. Instead, he went downstairs and chose a two-bedroom apartment with everyone.
Living on the first floor makes it convenient to work and doesn't make you look superior.
Lin Yi first went to the dormitory sentry to get the key. After opening the door of the brigade commander's apartment, he said goodbye to the sentry and entered the kitchen to start working.
The crucian carp this time is very small. No matter what kind of fish it is, there is almost only one way to eat small fish, and that is to fry it in oil. Apart from that, there is almost no other way. Some people will say that it can be stewed, but
If the fish is too small, the stewed soup will not be thick at all, and the taste will be very average, so almost no one will stew fish that is too small.
Even for a fish like crucian carp, which itself cannot grow too big, you need to use about a kilogram to make soup.
Since he had decided to fry it, Lin Yi didn't hesitate and just started cooking it.
Brigadier Meng likes to cook his own food, so the kitchen is fully prepared with all kinds of condiments. If you don't know Brigadier Meng, entering the kitchen, you will definitely think that Brigadier Meng is a chef by profession.
Lin Yi first found a basin to clean the crucian carp. After cleaning, he made two cuts on the belly of the fish to absorb the flavor. Then he added onions, ginger, cooking wine, pepper powder, and salt to marinate for a while. It must be marinated for at least fifteen minutes. If the time is
If you have enough time, marinating for an hour is best.
Lin Yi had plenty of time, so he planned to marinate it for a while. Just eating a pan-fried crucian carp was not enough. Lin Yi took out the vegetables he bought from the vegetable market and prepared to make some home-cooked dishes.
Fried peanuts must be arranged. There is a lot of fine wine in the brigade commander's house, so I have to drink a bottle tonight. Hot and sour potato shreds must also be arranged. The spicy and sour taste is a great dish to go with the meal.
Now there are three dishes. According to the brigade commander's character who doesn't like extravagance and waste, four dishes is the highest standard he accepts.
These three are all side dishes, and the last one has to be a big one. It happened to include ribs, so Lin Yi wanted to make a Northeastern dish, ribs, potatoes and beans stewed.
There is only one soup left, and it must be the hot and sour soup. After drinking wine, have the hot and sour soup, and the whole person will feel very comfortable.
After thinking about the recipe, Lin Yi's four-point chef skill was activated instantly. In an instant, the sound of chopping vegetables with a strong rhythm could be heard in the brigade commander's kitchen.
When it was time to get off work, the deputy brigade commander walked into the brigade commander's office: "Brigade commander, let's go have dinner together. I happen to have some work to report to you."
The brigade commander smiled: "Then follow me back to the dormitory. Xiaolin is cooking dinner at my house. According to his personality, he must cook a lot of food. Let's go and eat some together."
