Beginning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xi'an entered a complete lockdown to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. The lockdown lasted for more than a month.

During the lockdown, although residents in the community can go out every two days to purchase daily food, they see that the number and types of food, vegetables, and fruits available on supermarket shelves are getting smaller and smaller. The panic and uneasiness that surged in my heart became more and more intense.

I was deeply moved by receiving the Anhui fish at a difficult time

At this difficult time, Mr. He Zuqi, a famous aquatic product expert, miraculously sent me a novel fish The dish - catfish, he specifically reminded me that various parts of this fish can be cooked in different ways, and suggested that I try them separately.

The moment I received the package of anchovies, I was extremely grateful. There is a sentence in an ancient poem: "The war continues for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold." At this time, I clearly felt like I was on the battlefield. It's that touching feeling when reinforcements suddenly arrive and rations are delivered when you are about to run out of ammunition and food.

Hard-won, comparable to "wartime food"

The severe situation of the epidemic has not been relieved. Until now, we have not fully resumed work. The company's office courtyard is still strictly controlled. Limit foot traffic and working hours.

Due to work needs, the magazine has to deliver goods to subscribers across the country as soon as possible in the past two days. However, at this time, some express companies have not yet started working normally, and they are looking for a logistics company that can deliver goods-this is not usually the case. Things are quite complicated now.

According to Mr. He Zuqi, it is also very difficult for them to resume work. To transport the raw materials to the processing factory in Guangdong and then process them, they have to issue numerous passes at various stages during the transportation process, which makes it difficult. Like a thief. The goods he sent me this time were not too much. There were two small packages packed with two kinds of fish. They were sent from Guangzhou to Chengdu, and Chengdu was then sent to Xi'an. It took two express companies to deliver them to me. It was quite late. Easy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a little "wartime food" obtained during difficult times.

No matter how you cook it, it’s a tough dish

Opening the two packages sent by Mr. He Zuqi, one is canned catfish that has been pickled and soaked in oil - red. Mouthfish is a Chaozhou style recipe. The oil is soaked very well in the fish. The oil is clear and has a salty taste. It is suitable for eating with rice. It is a good dish and a tough dish whether making porridge or eating rice.

The other package was squid fillets and pieces, and I used it to make two dishes at noon that day: one was steamed fish belly with ginger and scallions, because the fish was freshly caught and shipped fresh. , very fresh, with firm meat and chewy texture; the other dish is steamed fish fillet with chopped pepper, which is a larger body part of the fish. Although the meat is thicker and harder, the taste and texture formed after steaming with chopped pepper are also very suitable. Serve the meal.

Unforgettable memories in difficult times

In the past, the main purpose of eating fish was to enjoy its freshness, and little attention was paid to whether it was full or not. But today, this special day when everyone is staying at home to fight against the epidemic, When I tasted Mr. He Zuqi's anchovy, whether it was steamed or steamed with chopped peppers, it felt very solid. The fish fillets and pieces were large, a bit like sliced ??beef with soy sauce. It was a very hard dish that went well with rice. The small fish, There is no such power to resist hunger and satiety.

We are very grateful to Mr. He Zuqi and his team for sending us the hard carp dishes during such a difficult time. We also hope that more consumers will have the opportunity to obtain the various products processed by their fresh nests. Seafood delicacies, and use these delicacies to accompany everyone through this difficult time. I believe these delicacies will also become unforgettable memories for us to witness this difficult time.
