Braised Chicken Nuggets with Tofu
Overview
When I was very young, I would kill chickens only when important guests came during the Chinese New Year, so I often looked forward to the Chinese New Year. Before going to bed at night, I also looked forward to having guests suddenly come to my house tomorrow, so that I could eat chicken deliciously. The important guest I am talking about is the postman in our town. When I was born, my father left his hometown to work outside the province, so he often sent us money and daily necessities from time to time. Transportation was very inconvenient at that time. Remittance orders and packages could only be sent to the town post office, and then the postman delivered them to my home. Every time the postman starts in the morning and goes to various villages to distribute newspapers, parcels, etc., it is the last stop in our village, usually around 12 o'clock, so as soon as this important guest arrives at my house, my mother immediately kills the chicken, buys tofu in the village, and prepares meals as quickly as possible. Among them, braised chicken with tofu is the dish I have cooked the most in my memory. , so I was particularly impressed by this tofu-braised chicken nugget dish. My mother took us siblings and we didn’t have time to go to the post office to withdraw money. My mother signed and entrusted the postman to collect the money. At that time, there was such trust between people. Thinking about it now, you have to be careful when surfing the Internet, listen to the phone, and think about whether it is a scam. So when the postman in town delivered the money to my house, he killed the chicken to cook and entertain. Although chicken was a precious thing at that time, this important guest deserves the respect of our family.
