Chapter 15 Boiled Fish Feast
"Brother, why did you buy fish again?"

Seeing Lin Zhenhua coming back from the outside carrying a big grass carp, Lin Fanghua complained unhappily.This was another weekend, Lin Zhenhua told his sister that he wanted to improve his life, and then went to the street to buy vegetables himself.

In the past week, Lin Fanghua has been a housewife, and there is no meat dish on the table every day. Lin Zhenhua is about to collapse.This is the first time for Lin Fanghua to be in charge of the family. She has brought to the extreme the thought of being thrifty and thrifty that the adults around her taught her. How can the fleshy Lin Zhenhua adapt.

"Hey, didn't you say you didn't eat enough of the boiled fish that I made for you last week? I'll make it again today. I'll eat as much as you can, and I'll eat the rest." Lin Zhenhua said happily.

"How can you eat good things like this. Aunt Wei said that you need to live a long life."

"No way, I just bought a fish, and it only costs two yuan. If this is not fine water, how fine is it?"

"You know how to waste money." Lin Fanghua said, "Isn't two dollars money? There are only two people in our family eating, and a meal costs two dollars. How much money do we have to eat?"

Lin Zhenhua was furious: "I said Xiaofang, am I the elder brother or are you the elder brother? You don't have to worry about earning money, you just need to be responsible for eating. I spend two yuan and you just gossip here. , are you going to turn me into Commander Tang?"

"What is Commander Tang?" Lin Fanghua couldn't make up her mind.

Lin Zhenhua told Lin Fanghua the allusion of Commander Tang, and Lin Fanghua laughed loudly: "Isn't this too economical?"

"That's right, let me tell you, money is not saved, but earned. After this period, I will go out and earn some money. Let alone grass carp, I can get you abalone every day."

"Just brag." Lin Fanghua muttered, but she immediately thought of another thing: "Brother, if you cook boiled fish, can I invite Yang Xin to eat with you?"

"Why?" Lin Zhenhua didn't get used to his sister's stream of consciousness for a while, and just now he complained that he shouldn't buy fish, but in a blink of an eye he thought about inviting guests to eat.

"She is my best friend." Lin Fanghua said, "If she has any good food, she will ask me to eat it together. How can I not call her for something so delicious like boiled fish?"

"If you call her, what about Uncle Yang and Aunt Wei? And Yang Tao?" Lin Zhenhua worried. Although this fish weighs three catties, if more people come, it won't be enough.It doesn't matter whether Lin Zhenhua eats or not, he just hopes to let Lin Fanghua eat to his heart's content.In later generations, when seven or eight people gathered for dinner, a fish weighing three catties on the dining table was certainly enough to eat. That was because there were other dishes and everyone had a lot of oil and water in their stomachs, so the appetite was small.In this day and age, it is not enough for three people to eat one fish. If six or seven people come, Xiaofang probably can only catch a few fish bones to eat.

"I'll call them too. It's fine if they don't come." Lin Fanghua said, she knew that the other people would definitely not come. After all, it's not easy for the little brothers and sisters to make something to eat, so why do adults have the nerve to share the food? ?
"Go." Lin Zhenhua waved his hand, and Lin Fanghua flew out like a bird.

When the pepper in the boiled fish gave off a strong aroma, Lin Fanghua dragged Yang Xin into the house. Yang Xin was still a little restrained in front of Lin Zhenhua, but when she saw a pot full of oily boiled fish, she couldn't help but The index finger moved.

"Brother Xiao Hua, did you do this?" Yang Xin asked incredulously.

"Of course, there is no one else here. Could it be that some snail girl crawled out to make it?" Lin Zhenhua laughed.

Lin Fanghua quickly brought the bowls and chopsticks, gave Yang Xin a set, and shouted, "Yang Xin, do it quickly, if it's too late, there will only be fish bones left."

Yang Xin picked up a piece of thinly sliced ​​fish and put it in her mouth. The fresh and tender fish immediately melted on the tip of her tongue, leaving only the spicy aroma in her mouth.She breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to put another piece in her mouth. The strong spicy taste brought some tears to her eyes. She glanced at Lin Zhenhua with these blurred eyes, and felt that the young man in front of her seemed to be too much. Something strange happened.

"How is it, Yang Xin, is it delicious? I told you that the boiled fish my brother cooks is very delicious." Lin Fanghua's mouth didn't stop for a moment. come higher.When she first saw Lin Zhenhua come back from buying fish, she still had some complaints, but now she has thrown this complaint to the sky.

Yang Xin smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "Well, it's really delicious. I'll ask my mom to make it when I go back. But, my mom probably won't do it. With so much oil, it's enough for our family. Half a month's worth."

Lin Fanghua pointed to Lin Zhenhua and said to Yang Xin: "Yang Xin, you don't know, this playboy spends money like running water. He even went to the black market to buy high-priced oil to make fish. This fish cost more than two yuan. At least half a catty of oil was used, and it cost more than one yuan."

Seeing the two little girls eating so happily, Lin Zhenhua was happier than how many fish he ate.Suppressing his appetite, he just took a few pieces of fish bones and tasted them in his mouth, leaving most of the fish to Lin Fanghua and Yang Xin.He found that although Yang Xin looked embarrassed, she ate a lot. It seemed that she really liked this dish, so that her appetite overcame her shyness.

"As long as you enjoy eating, I will make it for you next week."

"What?" Lin Fanghua looked up at Lin Zhenhua, with fish stuffed in his mouth, and said vaguely, "No, no, you can eat this kind of thing once a month, and you are not allowed to buy it again."

Yang Xin also persuaded: "Brother Xiaohua, you really need to save some money. You have some retirement pay now, but sooner or later you will use it up. My parents also said that it is really good for you to buy such good cigarettes and alcohol. If you don’t know how to live, you will have many opportunities to use your money in the future.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's okay, Xiaofang is not enough to take care of me, and you have another one to take care of me. Don't worry, if I have the ability to spend money, I will naturally have the ability to make money. You can rest assured."

When Yang Xin heard Lin Zhenhua talk about making money, he suddenly remembered that he still had something to say to Lin Zhenhua.She put down her chopsticks and asked solemnly: "Brother Xiaohua, I heard that Director Zhu told you a few days ago that as long as you study hard, he can find a way to let you become a technician. Is there such a thing?"

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes."

"Then why don't you hurry up and learn some techniques?"

"I'm working as a porter now, how can I have the opportunity to learn skills?" Lin Zhenhua pretended deliberately.

Yang Xin said hesitantly: "Actually, you can find a master to teach you. If you really can't find a master, or I will teach you what I know, and then I will learn new things from my master. You see How about it?"

"You teach me?" Lin Zhenhua's eyes widened. This is a big joke. A graduate student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University is looking for a little girl who graduated from junior high school as a teacher?This seems a bit like Tang Bohu surrendering his status to be a slave, but his purpose is to seduce Qiuxiang, what about him?Do you want to seduce Yang Xin, this little girl is only 16 years old.

"Actually, I may not be able to teach you, and I am not very good at learning, but...but..." Yang Xin looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that she really wanted to help Lin Zhenhua, but she was worried that her ability was not enough. Not to this extent.

Lin Zhenhua remembered another thing: "By the way, Yang Xin, why do I feel that your master Jiang Tiemei has a problem with me? When I greeted her in the workshop that day, she didn't even bother to respond."

"She has such a temper." Yang Xin said, "Actually, Master Jiang is quite a nice person, but the burden on the family is too heavy, and then her temper is not very good. Not only does she treat you like this, but she also treats me..."

"This is the legendary menopausal syndrome." Lin Zhenhua sighed, "I deeply sympathize with you learning skills under her."

"What syndrome?" Lin Fanghua asked. The word menopause was not popular at that time, so she didn't know what was going on.

"This, this... You don't understand what I said, so eat the fish." Lin Zhenhua looked sloppy.

Yang Xin still stared at Lin Zhenhua seriously and said, "Brother Xiaohua, I'm serious, if you can't find a master, or if you leave later after get off work every day, I will teach you what I know. , and then I will learn new things from the master, do you think it is okay?"

"Yang Xin, are you serious?" Lin Zhenhua was really depressed.

Yang Xin blushed and scolded, "Of course I'm serious."

"I didn't expect a pot of boiled fish to be so effective." Lin Zhenhua pretended to be enlightened, turned to his sister and said, "Xiaofang, why don't you go and invite Liang Guangping to see him finish eating this pot of boiled fish?" In the future, will you transfer me to the factory department to be his secretary?"

"Bang!" Lin Zhenhua's head was hit by the tip of the chopsticks, and he took a closer look, only to see his sister's almond eyes rolled up, looking at him.

"Lin Zhenhua, do you still want to learn well!" Lin Fanghua imitated the tone of her dead parents and shouted.

"I think, I think, I was wrong, I'll change..." Lin Zhenhua could only nod repeatedly, because he was naturally afraid of girls getting mad.In the past, in the laboratory, he could casually joke with his seniors and seniors, but once these beautiful and ugly girls started to go crazy, Lin Zhenhua immediately cut off the power, hugged his head, and willingly acted as a wooden fish for the beauties and ugly girls to beat.

Lin Fanghua won the victory, sat down with satisfaction, picked a piece of fish and put it in a bowl, and said, "Let me tell you, Lin Zhenhua, Yang Xin agreed to teach you skills only because of my face. You have to talk to Yang Xin carefully." ...The master learns technology, or else..."

"I'll learn, I'll learn." Lin Zhenhua turned his head and looked at Yang Xin, "Why don't we, Master Yang, let's have a teacher apprenticeship ceremony or something. When Confucius recruited students, he would accept six pieces of bacon, and you would accept one piece of spicy meat." Is it okay to fish?"

Yang Xin burst out laughing, and was about to say something, but unexpectedly choked a mouthful of spicy oil into his throat, and suddenly coughed violently, the cough was so dizzy.Sitting next to Yang Xin, Lin Zhenhua saw that she was coughing badly, so he subconsciously reached out and patted her on the back a few times.

"Oh, I'm choking to death. Xiaofang, thank you." Yang Xin finally stopped coughing. Thinking of someone patting her on the back just now, she instinctively thought that Lin Fanghua was helping her.

Lin Fanghua's eyes widened. She didn't expect Lin Zhenhua to pat Yang Xin's back in such an intimate way. She wanted to stop him but didn't know how to say it. Now that Yang Xin expressed her gratitude to her, she couldn't react for a while, so she pointed at Lin Zhenhua and said: " It's not me, it's him..."

"It's him!" Only then did Yang Xin realize that the hand that patted her on the back just now came from another direction.The three of them sat on the edge of the table, forming a triangle, with Lin Zhenhua on one side and Lin Fanghua on the other, and the person who patted her back just now should be sitting in the direction of Lin Zhenhua.

"Cough, cough, this... my meal is finished, I'm going to serve it." Lin Zhenhua knew that he had been suspected of harassing little loli just now, so he quickly found an excuse to escape. .

"Hahahaha..." Yang Xin and Lin Fanghua couldn't help laughing when they saw Lin Zhenhua's embarrassed face.From their point of view, although Lin Zhenhua slapped Yang Xin on the back just now, it was inappropriate, but it was definitely not offensive. On the contrary, Lin Zhenhua's expression of hiding his face and running away in shame made people feel extremely happy.

The little girl's back was so soft when patted... Lin Zhenhua fled outside the house, and couldn't help pinching the hand he had just patted Yang Xin's back. There seemed to be some faint fragrance left on his hand.
