She Song

Chapter 4 Look at how fat this fish is, why not...

Er Niang refused to admit it, which made Sanniang's liver hurt with anger. She could only cover her face and hide aside, pretending not to hear.

What a shame!

Next time, even if I beat Sister A to death, I won’t come out with her.

Lao Qiu struggled to dig through the ice with a knife, and sighed, "Oh, it's because God didn't give me a way to survive, otherwise why would the two little ladies suffer such great grievances!"

Han Xiaoyao solemnly replied: "Although the world is unkind and treats all things as spoiled dogs, as long as we work together, we may not be able to survive the desperate situation."

Lao Qiu was thoughtful and swung his knife harder. After a moment, he cut through the ice and pried open the ice cap to reveal the gurgling river water.

Erniang looked around curiously, and soon asked with a little disappointment: "Brother Xiaoyao, where is the fish?"

Han Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Er Niang, be patient, don't be anxious."

Lao Qiu watched for a while but couldn't figure it out. Seeing that Han Xiaoyao didn't take any action, he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Han, the ice cave has been dug, what else do we need to do?"

Han Xiaoyao turned to the other party and said calmly: "Don't be impatient for a moment, just wait."

Seeing that he was unpredictable, Lao Qiu could only suppress his doubts and stare at the water surface eagerly.

After waiting for a while, Sun Zhi couldn't help but glance at Han Xiaoyao, rubbed his nose and muttered: "You think you are the reincarnation of Jiang Taigong, can the fish jump out on its own?"

Lao Qiu was safe, but he carried a gun and a stick. Han Xiaoyao would not argue with him.He just smiled mysteriously and said: "There are all kinds of wonders in the world, maybe they really exist?"

Lao Qiu was quite calm. He remembered that Han Xiaoyao said that fish come out in a quarter of an hour, but now it is only half a quarter, so there is no rush.

Sun Zhi rushed to speak and offended his authority, so he scolded Sun Zhi: "The time has not come yet, are you in a hurry? If you keep blabbering, I will deal with you!"

Sun Zhi didn't dare to continue complaining, he just stood aside and sneered.

But before his laughter ended, the sharp-eyed Erniang pointed to the water and said, "Fish! I saw a fish!"

Everyone cheered up and looked over in unison.

Sure enough, a big fish slowly emerged from the ice cave and opened and closed its mouth. It was really within easy reach!
As time went by, more and more fish gathered, and soon they filled the ice cave, and the water splashed and boiled like boiling water.

With so many fish, there must be more than forty catties!

Not only Lao Qiu and the soldiers were smiling, but even Sanniang's face turned from cloudy to sunny with a sweet smile, and Erniang even danced and danced happily from ear to ear.

Suddenly, a golden-red carp flicked its tail hard, jumped high under the collision of the fish, crossed a streak of crimson light, and landed at Han Xiaoyao's feet.

There really is a fish that jumps out on its own!
The golden carp leaps over the dragon gate!
So many people, why did they fall at his feet?
Once unknowable things fall into the imagination, they will only become more and more complicated, not to mention the soldiers who are illiterate.

Witnessing this scene, not only Lao Qiu was inexplicably stunned, but even Sun Zhi and the two soldiers looked at Han Xiaoyao with traces of awe in their eyes.

Lao Qiu's back seemed to bend a little again, suppressing his unnecessary thoughts for the time being.

Erniang, with quick eyesight and quick hands, reached out and grabbed the carp in her hand: "Ha! Brother Xiaoyao, I caught it!"

When Erniang hooked the fish's mouth with her fingers, everyone realized that the carp was more than a foot long, with red scales all over its body shining with gold, and weighed three kilograms.

"The golden carp leaps over the dragon gate, which is a good sign! Congratulations to Mr. Han, you will definitely be rich and powerful in the future!"

Lao Qiu sent auspicious words with a wink.

Although Han Xiaoyao doesn't care about fantasy and other things, this is a "koi" after all!

Should it be offered up or offered up?
Erniang suddenly said: "Brother Xiaoyao, this fish is really beautiful, can you give it to me?"

As a girl, who doesn’t have a pet or something?

"Okay!"

As soon as Han Xiaoyao finished speaking, Er Niang couldn't wait to smile and said: "Brother Xiaoyao, look at how fat this fish is, it must be delicious!"

Han Xiaoyao: ...

San Niang: ...

Lao Qiu: ...twitching the corner of his mouth, Han Xiaoyao turned to Lao Qiu and said, "Let's get started."

Only then did Lao Qiu come to his senses, that's right, catching fish as soon as possible is the real business, so he led his soldiers to stab the fish school with knives and guns, and he was very busy.

The second mother was so excited that she hid the big red carp behind the third mother and went to the edge of the ice cave to catch the fish.

Lao Qiu deliberately teased her and said, "Sanniang, you have such a big fish, why do you want to do it?"

Although Sanniang was straightforward, she was not stupid. She still stared at the fish on the water. In the gap between the sword and gun, she suddenly reached out her hand and quickly pulled out a big fish from the water.

Er Niang's movements were as fast as lightning, but the soldiers were startled and stopped, for fear of accidentally injuring her.

Seeing everyone stunned, Erniang smiled proudly and said: "That was given by Brother Xiaoyao, I caught it myself, you are not allowed to come and snatch it!"

The soldiers couldn't care less about her. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was safe and sound. They laughed and continued to concentrate on catching fish.

It turned out that this girl was half crazy and half stupid. Lao Qiu wiped his cold sweat and said with a smile: "Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat?"

"Uncle Qiu, you are so stupid. We all know that fish must be cooked before it tastes good. There is no way to light a fire here..."

Seeing more than ten big fish caught on the ice, Lao Qiu felt very happy.

Look at the posture, let alone [-] pounds, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back even if I'm [-] pounds!

Lao Qiu followed the same method and fished out a carp from the ice cave. He took out a short knife from his waist and deftly scaled and disemboweled it on the ice.

Take out the fish meat and place it on the knife blade, carefully cut it into thin fish breasts, then place the fish meat on top of the prepared smoothie, and a decent plate of chilled fish breasts will appear!

Lao Qiu picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and savoring it carefully.

Seeing that he was eating deliciously, Er Niang couldn't help biting her fingers and came over again, asking rather flatteringly: "Uncle Qiu, what does this fish taste like? Is it delicious?"

Lao Qiu has been serving as a soldier for nearly ten years, and his children are only a few years older than his second wife and third wife.

At this moment, Lao Qiu laughed loudly and picked up the waist knife where the fish meat was placed. He handed it to Er Niang with the blade facing inward: "Old man is old and can't taste good or bad. Why don't you give Er Niang a taste?"

The second mother nodded quickly, like a chicken pecking at rice, she picked up a piece of fish meat and threw it into her mouth eagerly with a smile on her face.

The cold and delicate fish meat instantly melted on the tip of the tongue. Although it was slightly fishy, ​​the tender and juicy fish meat instantly transformed into an extremely delicious taste that made Er Niang unable to stop.

It turns out that this is the real delicious taste of fish!

Fish can be eaten raw.

It wasn't until Sanniang tugged at her sleeve that Erniang realized that she had swept away the fat fish meat on the knife's surface.

Er Niang couldn't help but blush. Just when she was about to apologize, Lao Qiu waved his hand with a smile.

"The two young ladies and my girl are only a few years younger, so they don't want to go out. If it's not a very cold weather and it's not advisable to eat more, I can get you a few more."

However, such natural and chilled fish dumplings are indeed hard to come by, so Lao Qiu caught two more fish dumplings and made them into pieces for everyone to share.

After Han Xiaoyao tasted it, he suddenly felt that the fish in Japanese restaurants in later generations was not worth mentioning.

Looking at the fish skin as thin as cicada wings, he praised: "Brother Qiu's knife skills are so exquisite, it is really amazing!"

Lao Qiu looked proud but pretended to be humble and said: "Old man worked as an apprentice in a restaurant in his early years and secretly learned some three-legged cat skills. He is far behind my master, far behind!"

Han Xiaoyao took the opportunity to say: "Famous teachers and disciples, amazing! Well, Brother Qiu, can you borrow the cooking stove when we get to the military station?"

You can also light a fire to cook in a thatched nest, but you don’t have such a big pot.

The stove was also empty. Han Xiaoyao was obviously not an ordinary person. Lao Qiu thought about it and decided to be a favor that would make things easier for him in the future.

"Master Han, feel free to use it, and I'll give you some ginger, garlic and salt."

With the seasoning, the fish will be more delicious, and the relationship between the two parties will look more harmonious.
