Chapter 36

After cooking the porridge, Mrs. Qin held the child and let Mrs. Zhou eat the porridge, and then she filled another bowl of fish soup and left it to dry.

The crucian carp was fresh, and ginger was added to the soup to remove the fishy smell. Xiao Zhou drank half of it slowly, and asked Mrs. Qin to pick up the child so that she could go to eat conveniently before continuing to lie down with the baby in her arms.

Even though there was only half a bowl of fish soup left, the aroma still attracted some people.

An old woman sniffed at the milky white fish in Little Zhou's bowl, then looked at Little Zhou beside her: "Little Zhou, what kind of soup is in your bowl?"

Mrs. Zhou just ate porridge, and now she is resting with her baby in her arms. After hearing what the woman said, she just answered casually: "Fish soup."

"Fish soup?"

The woman smacked her mouth and couldn't believe Xiao Zhou's words. Could it be fish soup that smells so good?

Isn't the fish soup very fishy, ​​could it be that Mrs. Zhou wants to eat alone?
Thinking about it, she said with some displeasure: "Don't be so stingy, it's not that I don't know what kind of fish soup is, and it doesn't look like it."

Xiao Zhou's body was weak during confinement, but she suffered again last night, and now she only closes her eyes and is too lazy to talk.

The woman saw that Xiao Zhou was ignoring her, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she wanted to drink some soup cheekily, and said: "I don't think you can drink much during confinement, let me clear it up for you, so as not to waste it." gone."

While speaking, she reached out to take it, but was stopped by the smiling Aunt Qin.

"Isn't this the second sister-in-law? Does she know that we don't have rice noodles for the confinement mother-in-law at home, so she brought them to us?"

As she said that, Aunt Qin looked at her two empty hands hesitantly, and then she smiled and closed her eyes as if she suddenly figured it out, and she was about to take her hand: "Second sister-in-law, is she afraid that she may not be sure about the amount? Use this politeness, I will go with you to fetch food."

When the woman heard that Mrs. Qin was going to fetch food with her, her eyes were wide open. This Qin family is the one who has a bad heart. She just wanted to drink her soup, so why did she rely on her?

No matter what she thinks in her heart, she can only pull out a stiff smile on her face: "What are you talking about, I also want to lend you some food or something, but well, it's a bad year, I can't help even if I want to. Don't you think so?"

Her sister-in-law on the side also nodded and echoed: "Yes, yes, besides, now is the time, how can someone so precious still have to eat rice noodles, and some sweet potatoes and chestnuts will do."

When is this, what kind of fine grains do you eat to hide from the disaster? Thinking about it, a trace of sourness flashed across the sister-in-law's face.

Originally, her words were not very pleasant to listen to, and the 'disdain' look on her face made Aunt Qin feel annoyed in her heart, but when the two of them talked about blood relationship or their own sister-in-law, they could only keep their faces down. on laughing.

"What the third sister-in-law said, we all know how hard it was to suffer when we were in confinement. Now that my daughter-in-law has entered our house, she is my own daughter. Of course, I have to give my daughter some confinement. Good to eat. Otherwise, I will feel bad."

The words are not serious, but the two of them are both a little worried. Some things are not known to outsiders, but the younger siblings of the Qin family know.

One of them ran away because they were too harsh on their daughter-in-law, and the other was because their daughter-in-law was scolded to work in the fields during confinement, and then they could not have children.

Saying this is nothing more than scolding them in private for scolding their daughter-in-law.

"My brother and sister said that. I just want to see the fish soup. I just haven't seen it. If you don't want it, forget it. Why do you say these things?"

Aunt Qin only glanced at her, then pointed to the fish soup in the bowl and said, "I don't care what the second sister-in-law said. Isn't this fish soup just made from fish? What's so strange about it? I'm afraid I was scared stupid last night? If my sister-in-law wants to drink, let Tieniu go to the river to find two for you and stew it back. I only have half a bowl here, which is not enough for you to share."

Although the bazi is big, there are many people in Lihua Village, and each family's area is not big, and there is only a distance that can pass by each other.

As soon as Mrs. Qin said this, the people resting next door laughed out loud. Isn't this fish soup made from fish soup?

Seeing that both of them are in their 40s, and they are still greedy for things from their confinement mothers, I really don't feel ashamed.

Hearing the laughter from around, the two didn't say much, they just squeezed through the crowd and went back to their family in desperation.

Little Zhou's emotions were very sensitive when she was confinement. Just now, she felt warm in her heart after listening to Aunt Qin's words. Looking at Aunt Qin who was protecting her, she yelled: "Mother."

Hearing Mrs. Zhou calling herself, Aunt Qin was afraid that she was tired from holding the child, so she turned around to pick up the child, when she saw Mrs. Zhou's flushed eyes, she wanted to pat her hand for a while, but finally she just took out a clean The veil was about to cover her face, and while taking it out, he said: "You girl, how can you cry when you are in confinement, crying for a while is not good for your eyes."

"Mother, thank you."

Little Zhou's voice was a little choked up, and his haggard face looked weaker.

Aunt Qin's heart ached for a while, seeing that she hadn't shed tears, she hurriedly persuaded: "Thank you, you call me mother, you are my daughter, don't cry, don't cry during confinement, it's not good for your eyes."

Little Zhou nodded, holding back her tears before finishing.

In the surrounding households, some daughters-in-law and older girls also came to ask about the fish soup.

Although everyone can't eat meat, there are not many people who think about those fish and crabs in the river.

After all, there are fine thorns all over the body, and it is very fishy after cooking. In addition, there have been precedents of people who couldn't live with their families catching fish and eating them, but who would dare to touch them?
The other one is covered in shells, and you can't peel off two taels of meat after catching it in a day. It's better to go to the mountains and dig a few wild vegetables.

Now the fish soup cooked at home here is so fragrant, wouldn't they have more to eat at home after learning it?

As long as the river is, it can always be eaten.

Before, some of them also imitated Lin's touching some mussels back home, but the dishes they made were not very palatable. Now the fish soup seems to be much simpler.

"This is taught by Miss Lin. If you want to learn, you have to ask her."

Aunt Qin naturally knew what they were thinking, so she waved her hand and said that it was Nanzhi who taught them, and asked them to go find her.

The result was that Nan Zhi was nibbling sweet potatoes with the dog, when he saw a group of big girls and young wives walking towards them.

When he came to the front, the leader opened his mouth with some embarrassment: "Sister Nanzhi, we want to ask you to learn how to cook fish soup."

Nan Zhi watched them speechless for a moment: "This..."

The little daughter-in-law thought that Nan Zhi was unwilling, so she blushed and said, "I, we don't learn in vain, we will exchange sweet potatoes with you."

Nan Zhi quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need. There is no secret recipe for making fish soup, I say you just write it down."

"Eh."

After hearing this, a group of people hurriedly sat around Nanzhi.

"It is best to use crucian carp to make fish soup. Although crucian carp is small, the soup is delicious. Before cooking, use well water to raise the mud overnight. After scraping the scales, remember to throw away the gills and the internal organs in the stomach. , don’t be reluctant to throw these things away.”

"Before making the soup, if you have meat oil at home, fry it with meat oil and the soup will be more fragrant and whiter. If you don't have meat oil, it's okay. When making the soup, remember to add some green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell. It's done. Just sprinkle some salt on it."

"Do you still have to use meat oil?"

A girl hesitated when she heard it.
