Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 11

The reborn Zhang Xiuqing is not afraid of ghosts or dogs, but worms, especially leeches. This thing is a standard vampire. Once it attaches to a person, it will never leave until it is full of blood.Zhang Xiuqing did not know how many people had heard the story of leeches biting people, and experiencing it personally now, the feeling was simply indescribable.

The seedling slipped from her hands, Zhang Xiuqing bent down, and subconsciously wanted to grab the two fat and soft leeches, and when her fingers were about to touch, she heard Shi Dongsheng's anxious voice: "I can't grab it, it will be troublesome if I snap it off..."

Zhang Xiuqing hurriedly withdrew her hand, and her voice trembled because of fear: "Then, what should I do then? Mom, Mom, come here quickly..."

Shi Dongsheng shouted while running: "You stomp your feet hard, or slap other places to make them fall by themselves..."

Zhang Xiuqing was sweating from the tip of her nose. Standing in the rice field, she stomped and slapped her feet, splashing muddy water all over her body, but the two leeches were probably too hungry, and they clung to her calf tightly.

Shen Heying was shocked when she heard the screaming, because she was far away, she didn't know what happened, so she quickly stepped onto the field ridge and ran towards this side with big strides.It's just that she and Zhang Xiuqing were in Tiandongtou and the other in Tianxitou, so they couldn't get there in time.

Shi Dongsheng arrived first. His family had a paddy field bordering Zhang's. Today Zhang Xiuqing went to the field to plant rice seedlings. Naturally, Shi Dongsheng was unwilling to let go of this opportunity and followed him.He was used to farm work, and his speed of transplanting rice seedlings was no slower than Shen Heying's, but in order to get a few more glances at Zhang Xiuqing, he insisted on slowing down.Huangtian paid off, and finally let him wait for the hero's chance to save the beauty: "Xiuqing, don't move, don't be nervous, I'll help you get it off."

Zhang Xiuqing nodded, her body stiffened, and she stood there motionless.Shi Dongsheng bent down, put one hand underneath, stretched out a finger with the other hand, and lightly tapped the back of the leech, and the leech immediately curled up its body.After Shi Dongsheng tapped it about ten times, it let go of its mouth.

The leeches on the other leg were also removed by Shi Dongsheng in the same way. Zhang Xiuqing watched the two black, soft, slimy leeches squirming back and forth in Shi Dongsheng's palm, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and his face was like paper. As white as snow.Shi Dongsheng pursed his lips, walked to the field ridge, and smashed the two leeches to death with lumps of soil.

Shen Heying just arrived. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, shook her head, didn't say anything, turned around and went back to work, and after walking a long distance, she could still hear Sanmei Shen talking and laughing loudly: "I thought it was a show Qing was bitten by the Chilian Snake, it turned out to be two leeches, this is really... the mute sees Mother—I have nothing to say!"

Zhang Xiuqing also heard those ridicules, her face was flushed with embarrassment, and she cursed herself for being useless in her heart. After thanking Shi Dongsheng, she put down the trouser legs that were originally rolled up to her knees, tied them tightly with a hair tie, and then Pick up the seedlings and continue to work.Those women who talked badly didn't expect Zhang Xiuqing to have the courage to stay. Seeing her indomitable look, they felt a little embarrassed, and they all shut their mouths embarrassingly, and worked hard.

Shi Dongsheng wanted to persuade Zhang Xiuqing to go home, but when he saw this situation, he hesitated for a moment, and went back to his rice field to continue planting rice seedlings.

After being frightened, Zhang Xiuqing kept paying attention, but never encountered a leech again. When the sun was about to set, the sole of her right foot was bitten by a soil leech.This is a small yellowish-brown bug, only the size of a grain of rice, not big in size, but it bites people very fiercely. It directly bites off a piece of meat, not only bleeding, but the wound is also very painful.

Zhang Xiuqing frowned, and continued to work without saying a word, until she had planted all the seedlings in the open space behind her, and then went home to cook under her father's urging.

After all, Zhang Xiaofeng was young and weak, and after only half a morning's work, his body couldn't take it anymore.In the afternoon, the sun was more poisonous and the weather was hotter. Zhang and his wife were afraid that he would be signed, so they did not dare to let him go to the field, and told him to stay at home.

At Zhang Xiuqing's request, Zhang Lingen cast a net in the river in front of his house at noon. The first thing the Zhang sisters did when they got home was to collect the net. The harvest was pretty good, estimated to be five or six catties of fish and shrimp.The two squatted on the river bridge, one killing fish, the other cutting snail buttocks, and they were busy for more than half an hour.

In the evening, Zhang Xiuqing decided to eat rice instead of porridge.Zhang Xiuhong was afraid that Shen Heying would get angry when she came back, so she advised Zhang Xiuqing to cook the porridge. Zhang Xiuqing shook her head, but she didn't agree: "Eating porridge doesn't make you hungry, it's better to eat. Don't worry, Mom won't beat us if Dad stops us... "

With Shen Heying's frugal and nagging temperament, the two of them escaped beatings but never escaped scolding.Zhang Xiuhong hesitated for a moment, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of white rice. While scooping up rice from the rice storehouse, she prayed in her heart, hoping that her mother would be less scolding because the sisters were all going to work in the fields today.

Zhang Xiaofeng was greedy when he was young. When he heard that he would eat rice at night, he immediately cheered. Like a hardworking bee, he helped carry water for a while, and firewood for a while, and he was not tired at all.

The corners of Zhang Xiuqing's eyes suddenly became wet. How sad it must be for parents to be so poor these days!But in her previous life, she was so ignorant that she refused to listen to them when she got married, and refused to see them when she got divorced. No wonder Zhang Xiuhong wanted to sever her sister relationship with her.It can be said that she ended up with such an ending, partly due to Shen Anlin being too scumbag, and partly due to her own fault.

The more Zhang Xiuqing thought about it, the more sad she became. She sniffed and said, "Not only will we eat white rice today, but we will eat it every day in the future. We have had enough hard times. You believe in sister, our family's life will get better and better." , in the future, there will only be things you can't think of, nothing you can't afford, and there will be no problem with big fish and meat every day."

These words are not only for Zhang Xiuhong and Zhang Xiaofeng, but also for herself. At this moment, Zhang Xiuqing has a feeling in her heart that "if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent". It can't stop her from wanting to make a lot of money.

Although there are many small river fish in front of Zhang Xiuqing's house, there are no big fish. They are all freshwater fish such as pond carp and small crucian carp. Because there are too many fish bones, it is easy to get stuck if you are not careful. Many people don't like it very much. eat.The seasonings at this time were not as rich as those in later generations. In addition, people were used to living a thrifty life, and the dishes cooked by many people were generally less oily and salty, which made this kind of small fish even more unpopular.

In fact, fish meat contains a variety of proteins with high physiological value and a variety of unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the human body. It is a pity that it is not born at the right time. Someone once described it like this: "The poor eat meat, the rich eat shrimp, and the leaders eat bastard."

If there are guests at home, meat is a must-have dish, but fish is dispensable.Zhang Xiuqing went around the farmers' market in the county that day, and found that there were only a handful of people buying fish, but the meat stalls were crowded with people. One can imagine the popularity of meat.

If someone asks Zhang Xiaofeng: "What is the dish you want to eat most at the moment?" His answer must be big fat meat, and it must be the kind of fatty meat that is full of oil when you bite into it.Even if Zhang Xiuqing told him that fish tasted better, he would never believe it.

Without tasting it with her own mouth, everything she said was useless. Zhang Xiuqing decided to take out the skills she had learned while working in a five-star hotel in her previous life, and let them take a good look. embrace.

Zhang Xiuqing's first money-making plan was fishing. She knew how much she weighed, so it was okay to come up with ideas, but she couldn't do it if she really wanted to deal with fishing nets. Without the full support of her family, she would never be able to make money by herself money.

Zhang Xiuqing washed the small fish, drained the water, put it in a clean washbasin and pickled it with salt.About 10 minutes later, she asked Zhang Xiuhong to come over to light the fire. After the iron pan smoked, she began to pour oil.

At that time, there was no salad oil on the market, and every household ate rapeseed oil. This oil is golden in color and has a certain pungent smell. The most obvious difference between it and salad oil is that the rapeseed oil will produce bubbles when it is just poured into the pot. The bubbles will disappear after being cooked, but the salad oil will not produce bubbles, and it can be fried when it is cooked to four degrees.

In order not to waste, Zhang Xiuqing only poured a small amount of oil, so he could only fry one by one.After everything was fried, she cleaned the pot, poured in a little oil, boiled it, and threw in the shredded ginger. After frying for a while, she poured in the river prawns and the snails with their butts trimmed and stir-fried.Stir-fry until half-cooked, pour all the fried small fish into the pot, add rice wine, new soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, and then add the water that has covered the fish.When the fire is high and there is still a little soup in the pot, throw the sliced ​​green peppers into the pot, cook on a low heat until the soup is thick, and finally sprinkle with shallots, so far, the braised small miscellaneous fish is done.

Zhang Xiaofeng stood aside and stared dumbfounded. The moment Zhang Xiuqing opened the pot, the aroma was tangy, not to mention Zhang Xiaofeng's salivation, even Zhang Xiuhong couldn't help swallowing.

It was dark, and Zhang and his wife returned home, and they smelled the fragrance before they entered the yard. Shen Heying's face changed drastically, and she rushed into the stove at a speed of [-] meters, and saw the pot of braised miscellaneous fish overflowing with aroma, and the fragrant I was so angry that my eyes lit up with sparks: "You prodigals, if you want to eat fish and cook a few pieces, you can eat it, but you cook it in such a big pot, and it is fried and braised. I don't know that it will waste oil and salt. Sauce and vinegar? I thought you guys had grown up, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant..."

Her own children are so gluttonous and other people's children are so sensible, Shen Heying was so angry that she really reached out to hit someone, Shen Zhangqing quickly stood in front of her: "Mom, don't get excited, just listen to me..."

Shen Heying couldn't listen at all, and shouted excitedly: "Don't reason with me, you know the food shortage at home, but you still dare to cook, if you don't have enough food in the future, the whole family will eat northwest wind..."
