Chapter 7 Secretly Stewed Fish Soup at Home

After finishing the gossip, Su Jianmin was going to kill the fish himself and stew crucian carp soup for his wife.

The pots and stoves of every household in Tongzilou are placed on the aisle, and other people can smell what someone cooks at night.

"Boss, go and move the briquette stove outside," Su's father said to the eldest son while scraping the fish scales, "Be careful, so you don't get caught."

Su Zhiyuan saluted his father, "Obey!"

"Hey, come back!" Bai Lu put down Xiao Jinbao who had just fallen asleep, and turned to pull her son who was running out of the door in a hurry, "Why are you moving that thing?"

"Mom, you're so stupid! Of course we don't want people to find out that we're eating fish tonight."

Bai Lu said displeased: "What's wrong with being discovered? This fish is not stolen, so why not dare to see it?"

"Mom, have you forgotten? Last year, grandma sent us two taels of bacon..."

As soon as the boss reminded her, Bai Lu remembered.

For the [-] taels of bacon, she went to the vegetable market to line up at four in the morning. After queuing for three hours, she managed to buy half a catty of celery and planned to make a plate of fried bacon with celery.

The smoky aroma of bacon wafts through the entire building.

Aunt Liu, who had lent her some salt before, stared straight at the meat in her pot.

"Big sister eat meat at night? Add more chopsticks at night, I'll go to your house to eat!" Aunt Liu licked her lips.

After a while, many people came around again, standing beside them drooling, "Sister-in-law Su, I don't need to prepare the bowls and chopsticks, I bring them myself... Oh my god, this bacon is really old-fashioned."

"I haven't tasted meat in almost two years, it's so gluttonous."

Everyone surrounded Bai Lu, staring at her cooking, the entire aisle was blocked!
Bai Lu was afraid that if they really came to her house, they would not only cook more dishes but also steam rice, she was so frightened that she divided all the meat on the spot.

Whenever this matter was mentioned, Father Su and his sons seemed to have been greatly wronged, "Bacon! Woohoo, I haven't tasted a slice of fat and fragrant streaky bacon."

"Mom, you can't make the same mistake twice, or you will be a fool!" the boss said excitedly.

"That's right," the second child kept nodding, "Papa caught this big fish with great hard work, and there is no piece of meat."

The third child didn't say a word, Su Xiaosi hugged his mother's thigh, "Mom, I want to eat fish, big fish..."

Because of the bacon, Bai Lu was talked about for half a year, and they didn't stop until she became pregnant.

She never wanted to hear these grieving husbands mention fried bacon with celery again.

"Okay, okay, I see, let's move the stove in."

With his mother's consent, Su Zhiyuan opened the door, poked his head out and looked around.

Making sure no one noticed him, he moved the briquette stove into the house with lightning speed.

"Remember to open all the windows, so you don't get poisoned by coal." Bai Lu warned.

The second child and the third child agreed, one went to open the window, and the other helped light the coal stove.

Su Xiaosi was idle and bored, secretly pinching Jin Bao's chubby little face for fun.

"Xiao Si, what are you doing?" Bai Lu lowered her voice and whispered, "Don't wake up my sister."

"Sixth sister is too sleepy, she doesn't even get up to play with brother." Su Xiaosi looked swollen.

Bai Lu smiled softly, "You were the same as Jin Bao when you were so young, you slept more heavily than her."

While the mother and son were talking, Su Jianmin had already put the fish into the soup pot and put it on the stove.

Originally, crucian carp soup should be fried first and then boiled, so that the soup will be white, but who can eat oil these days?

For those who gnaw potatoes and drink porridge every day, it is an extremely happy thing to be able to drink crucian carp in clear soup.

Not long after, smelling the smell of fish, several children gathered around the soup pot like hungry wolf cubs, gulping their saliva.

Lin Yulan, who lived next door, kept sniffing by the window, "Fish...it's fish..."

Xu Qiang put down the newspaper and found that his daughter-in-law didn't cook after returning home, but was lying by the window sniffing like a dog, and angrily cursed: "Smelly old woman, what are you doing?"

Their daughter Xu Damei is the same age as the eldest of the Su family, both just over 15 years old.

"Mom, do you want to starve me to death?" She came out of the kitchen and complained aggressively, "I didn't wash the wild vegetables I dug yesterday, and I didn't steam the sweet potatoes. I'm almost starving to death."

"Old Su's family eats fish, why should our family have sweet potatoes and wild vegetables?"

Xu Damei touched her mother's forehead, "I don't have a fever, what nonsense are you talking about?"

After she finished speaking, she yelled at her father: "Dad, Mom, she is talking nonsense, do you want to send her to the health center..."

Lin Yulan slapped her daughter's hand away, "Go, go, you're talking nonsense!"

Xu Qiang also walked to the window at this time, "What's the matter with you old woman? If you don't want to live a life, just say, I will send you back to your hometown in the countryside to help my mother with farm work, so as not to be an eyesore here."

Doing farm work in the countryside is a hundred times harder than doing laundry and cooking in the provincial capital...

Lin Yulan's expression changed in panic, and she hurriedly pulled her husband and said, "Qiangzi, I didn't deliberately stop cooking, but I saw... oh, I saw something, so I was confused, and I don't know what to do. "

Xu Qiang was intrigued by her nervous appearance, "What did you see?"

Lin Yulan looked out the window like a thief, and then said in a mosquito-like voice, "I saw Lao Su and his eldest son next door stealing fish from the production brigade..."

"What?" Xu Qiang looked shocked, "How is it possible?"

Their daughter Xu Damei didn't believe it either. "Stealing things from the production team is a felony. You will be sent to the farm for labor reform. Moreover, there will be stains on the files. You can't find any jobs. This life is over."

"Smell it yourself carefully, is this the smell of fish?" Lin Yulan pointed out the window.

Xu Qiang, his father and daughter heard her swearing, they couldn't help but leaned closer and took a long breath.

"Not to mention, this taste is really like stewed fish soup, it's so fragrant."

Xu Damei closed her eyes and took a deep sniff, and couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva.

"It's so delicious, I've almost forgotten the taste of fish," she pulled her father, "Dad, why don't we go to Uncle Su's house for a meal? Auntie Bai is generous, she won't disagree."

"That's a good idea..."

The father and daughter wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths, and they were about to go outside after speaking.

Lin Yulan hurriedly grabbed the hands of the two, "Are you stupid? That is a stolen fish! It's stolen goods! What are you going to eat? Are you going to go to labor reform with the old Su family?"

"Mom, won't it be okay if we don't talk? I'm starving to death."

Xu Damei is strong and strong. Although she has been hungry and full for the past few years, she is still burly.

She shook her father's arm with her thick arm, and said coquettishly, "Dad, let's go eat some food? It doesn't matter if he stole it or robbed it. Let's eat first and then talk... Look at me, I'm so skinny. It’s time to eat fish to make up for it.”
