The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 43 Plenty of Fish

"Damn it, what the hell is the village chief, he really looks down on people." Wan Xiaoliu reached out to take what was in Wan Mofei's hand, but Wan Mofei didn't give it to him. Wan Xiaoliu felt at ease and walked back with his hands behind his back.

In the yard, Wan Mofei took out a basin to fill the water chestnuts, brought the eel to the edge of the well, and fetched water to clean himself up. There was a lot of mud on his body.He asked Wan Xiaoliu: "What are you doing this afternoon?"

"Go and sprinkle the ashes on the corn seedlings in the afternoon. What's wrong?" Wan Xiaoliu asked while drinking water.

"I'm going to change my clothes." Wan Mofei entered the room after saying that, took a set of clothes folded by the bed and entered the back room.

Wan Xiaoliu was struck by lightning, and looked down at himself, the trouser legs were rolled up, hanging on his body, the trouser legs had been soaked by muddy water, there were dots of mud all over his body, there were wet mud coins and dry mud shells , My body is much dirtier than Wan Mofei's, why don't I feel uncomfortable?
Shaking his head, he put down the drinking bowl, grabbed a handful of rice and took it to the place where the chicken was kept, lifted the cover, and sprinkled the rice. The chicken was also hungry and couldn't stop eating. Add some water to the rice, the chick eats the rice, some come over to drink the water, peck the saliva and drink it with his head up, so cute.The chicken was almost eaten, Wan Xiaoliu got up and went back to the house with scissors to the edge of the well, disemboweled the eel, pulled out the intestines inside, cleaned them, and took them into the house.

A certain person changed into clean clothes, took the dirty clothes to the edge of the well, soaked them in a wooden barrel, scrubbed them and dried them on the pennies in the yard.Go into the house and help Wan Xiaoliu stuff firewood.

Wan Xiaoliu cut the rice field eel into small sections, heated the pan, put oil in it, and took two halves of garlic and a little ginger. When the oil was hot, put the minced garlic and ginger slices in it. Stir fry until fragrant, push the rice field eel in, and the rice field eel in the pot will change color immediately when it is heated.Stir-fry until it is almost done, add water, there is not much eel in the first place, add more water, the soup is also nutritious.

"Is it okay to add crispy rice to eel soup?" Wan Xiaoliu took a spoon and tasted the soup. It tasted very good, very delicious.In this era, this is a good thing. You don’t worry about this growing up on hormones, and you don’t worry about drinking pesticide water, so you can eat it with confidence.

Wan Mofei naturally has no meaning, and what he said to Wan Xiaoliu has never meant anything.

Lunch is eel soup with crispy rice.

"When our little chick grows up and lays eggs, it will be delicious to crack two eggs here. Hey, I think I should have a loofah. I planted several trees behind the house. I didn't go to see it. I ate it. Go and have a look." Wan Xiaoliu said while eating.

Wan Mofei looked at the rice eels in the bowl, and then at the ones in Wan Xiaoliu's bowl. Now this rule has been formed, the delicious food in his own bowl is always more delicious than in Wan Xiaoliu's bowl.

"This eel, there are many ways to eat it. It can be fried with shredded pork or braised in soy sauce. My favorite is to make the eel, cut it into sections and put it in a bowl, mix it with chili powder and ginger. Minced garlic, put sliced ​​bacon on top, and sprinkle some chili powder, so dry steaming, it is best to steam in a casserole, steam for a long time, the bacon is steamed with oil, and the eel is steamed, one fragrant, One is fresh, the taste is really worthless." Wan Xiaoliu really thought he was a chef, and he spoke so clearly that if he was not eating, his saliva would probably flow out.The matter of being disgusted by the village chief has long been forgotten.

"It's really that delicious?" Wan Mofei asked looking at Wan Xiaoliu's intoxicated look.

"Of course." Wan Xiaoliu looked at Wan Mofei's clean clothes and raised his eyebrows and said, "We won't go to the fields in the afternoon, I'm going to straighten the loofah shelf behind the house, and pickle the shallots." .You are free in the afternoon.”

"I'll go see if there are any fish in the river over there." Wan Mofei always tried his best to let Wan Xiaoliu eat more.

"Catch fish?" Wan Xiaoliu was very happy. "There are fish in the river. That river fish is so delicious! The small ones are roasted and fried with green peppers, and the big ones are directly braised. But can you do this? How do you catch them?"

"I see that Chai Peng has a small bamboo pole, so I'll just take it." Wan Mofei looked at Wan Xiaoliu's bright eyes, thinking he had to get some back.

"Wow, you're so good. Well, then you go, but be careful." Although Wan Xiaoliu hoped that he could catch fish, his safety was still the first priority.

"Well. What do you want to do, I will help you first." Wan Mofei said.

"No need, I'm just doing a vegetable garden this afternoon, so I don't need your help." You'd better get some more fish, Wan Xiaoliu added quietly in his heart.I have never tasted fish when I came to this world. It should be said that I have never seen the shadow of fish, let alone eat it.This Wan Mofei is really a treasure, he can do everything, and his living standard has really improved rapidly.Looking at the entire Wanjia Village, there should be no family that has food like their own, hahaha, a family that is too poor can still have such a rich meal.Make people envious, jealous and hateful!

After eating, Wan Mofei took the small bamboo pole and the basket and left under Wan Xiaoliu's urging and instructions. After Wan Xiaoliu washed the dishes and chopsticks, he chopped the pheasant and put it in the pot to cook.After everything was done, he took the hoe to the back of the house. The loofah had already grown and climbed vines everywhere. Wan Xiaoliu found a few thick trunks, nailed them into the soil side by side, and wrapped kudzu vines around the trunks. The loofah vines led along to the shelf, and the loofahs grew like chopsticks.Yellow flowers, green leaves, so beautiful.After setting up the shelf, we removed the grass around the root of the loofah and dug a hole, planning to pick some small manure to water it.This pit is also very particular. It should not be too far away from the loofah root, which will prevent the loofah from absorbing nutrients, and it should not be too close, as the root of the loofah will be dug off if it is too close.Five loofahs are enough for two people to eat for a long time.

I went to the toilet and used a dung bucket to pick up a small load of dung water, and then poured a bucket of clean water into it, and then watered the loofah. If this was not mixed with water, it would be too fat and the loofah would die.Small manure was poured and the pit was covered again.Remove all the surrounding grass. Weeds grow wildly in this season. If you don’t remove the loofah, you will encounter snakes.

Picked up the air duct, went to the vegetable field to dig up the onions, stuffed the small ones into the soil casually, and put the big ones into the basket, the basket was full, and Wan Xiaoliu was shocked when he saw it. Too much, how can I finish it.

Pour all the shallots under the eaves, start tidying up, cut off the whiskers with scissors, and then cut off the poles. Fortunately, this one does not need to be peeled, so you can just clean it after cutting it off. I have been cutting this for most of the afternoon, and everything is done. , and took the onion to the edge of the well in a large bathtub, put the onion in it, fetched water to wash it, scrubbed it vigorously, washed it six or seven times, the onion was so white and clean, and it was almost done, then put it into a wooden bucket, put the boiled water at home Soak it in a bucket. This onion is a local specialty. Every household in Wanjia Village grows some. They dig it out and pickle it this season, and eat it slowly as a side dish.Some people will pickle with red pepper when pickling, the onion is a bit spicy, and some people like to pickle together with the ginger, the ginger is red, the onion will also turn red, when doing weddings and weddings Everyone will take out a small dish for each table.
