Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 59 Chapter Nine: Busy Work
Because there are too many small fish and shrimps, even if a dustpan does not block much, if it is blocked a few times, there is already half a bucket in the wooden bucket.

Song Qiu doesn't plan to fish any more, that's enough, if you want to eat it, it will come again later, isn't it so close?
So I walked a little upstream, bent down to remove half a large rock in the water, and checked if there were any small crabs below.

Not every rock can be moved to see small crabs crawling out.

Song Qiu moved several stones in a row before he quickly caught two or three small crabs and threw them into the wooden bucket on the bank to let them fight. There was not much to hold them.

I was so tired that I straightened up and wiped the sweat off my brow when I heard someone shouting behind me.

She turned her head and saw Zhang Lihua coming down the mountain with a basket on her back, and hurriedly waved to her, "Lihua, come and move the crabs!"

Zhang Lihua was already running down the slope with big strides. When he got close, he put down his back basket and began to take off his shoes and socks, "Well, Ah Qiu, you won't wait for me when you come to play in the water."

"I'm not playing with water, I'll catch them, and I'll make a bowl of vegetables tonight!" Song Qiu laughed in the water, seeing Zhang Lihua in a hurry, he couldn't help calling her, "Slow down, be careful!" Lie into the river and throw a horse!"

"Do you think it's my first time playing with water? We grew up in this ditch, and fell in front of it? I said, what kind of food do you cook? What does this little crab have to eat? And this little fish, all of them There is no meat, and the shrimps are still stuck in the throat." Zhang Lihua also saw the small fish and shrimps swimming in the wooden barrel beside her, and while chattering, she rolled up her trouser legs and got into the water.

Immediately, a comfortable expression appeared on his face, "This is the first time I have played in water this year. This water is really cool and comfortable."

"When I mess with you, don't eat with your tongue." Song Qiu laughed at her, ignored her, and then bent down to lift the stone.

Zhang Lihua thought that if Ah Qiu didn't tell lies, maybe he could really make something delicious?
Maybe I haven't seen Ah Qiu make it before.

She was puzzled, but she didn't say any more right now, moving the crabs was just for fun, so move it.

Then just follow the trickle and lift the stone.

Still thinking about the fun of playing with water in previous years, he poured water on Song Qiu's side without moving two.

"Well, you pear blossom!" Song Qiu said angrily, and immediately threw back.

The two of them played together immediately, and water splashed all over the sky, like a light rain.

Until the old Yuan on the gentle slope shouted, "Aqiu!"

Only then did the two stop. It was noon and it was time to go home for dinner, but the crabs hadn't been moved yet.

Quickly, in response to a word, the two of them became serious and hurriedly picked up the crab.

After a while, there were about [-] of them moved, and then they stopped.

The two went ashore, put on their shoes and socks, put down their trousers and skirts, and happily went home with a wooden bucket, a dustpan and a basket on their backs.

After getting some food for lunch, Song Qiu didn't stop, and started to get busy.

The old Yuan family followed to help in the stove house, before it even started, Zhang Lihua came over excitedly, "Grandma Yuan, my grandma asked me to come over and help light the fire!"

Old Yuan Shi had already told Zhang's family and Zhou's family early in the morning, and he invited them to dinner tonight, but don't refuse.

The old Mrs. Deng originally wanted to come over to help with the cooking, but knowing that Song Qiu was in charge of cooking today, he didn't come. The way they cook is obviously different from Song Qiu's.

Just say that the chili peppers that choke out after being dry-stir-fried without oil, they never thought of it.

So, instead of coming by myself, I simply called my granddaughter Lihua to come over and help light the fire.

Zhang Lihua was really looking forward to it.

Seeing her coming, Song Qiu nodded and said, "Don't rush to light the fire now, let's deal with the small fish and shrimp first."

"How do you do this thing? It's not good to treat people to dinner and fill up a plate with this side dish." Old Yuan couldn't help saying, what she wanted to say just now was to treat people to dinner, but her granddaughter bought it Three catties of meat is not bad.

But there was nothing but three catties of meat. I bought a bunch of messy and expensive seasonings, and I also bought a lot of smelly pig intestines.

I didn't even buy a fish, but went to catch a lot of small fish, shrimps and hard crabs. How can I greet customers?
These days, if you want to entertain others for a meal, there are not many, but you must at least have meat and fish.

Old Yuan thought that neither the Zhang family nor the Zhou family were outsiders, and had helped them a lot over the years. If he really wanted to seriously treat them to a meal, would it be okay to be so stingy?

Song Qiu listened and said: "Don't be in a hurry, I promise to prepare a table of rich dishes today, so that everyone can be satisfied and satisfied."

Old Yuan Shi listened and knew that her granddaughter was good at cooking, but she had nothing to cook. She always didn't believe that her granddaughter could make good fish and shrimps that they had all made before. The dishes come.

Seeing that her grandma's face was still a bit worried, Song Qiu burst out laughing, "The Cheng's Liushui banquet also made a dish with pig intestines, and pig intestines are also a good dish.

Okay, okay, grandma, you don’t think the food looks good, it’s still early, why don’t you go buy a chicken from Aunt Meifu? "

Although the dishes she ordered are also rich, but she feels that it is not enough, okay, let's make another chicken, and she is willing to do it for a few tens of pennies.

What she thinks is a good dish here, her grandma thinks it is not good, and it is understandable. After all, pig intestines are loved by those who love them, and those who don't love them think they stink.

And this little fish and shrimp, it's the same.

So, buy another chicken, that's fine.

When old Yuan Shi heard this, she really nodded, "Hey! I'm going to your Aunt Meifu's house to catch chickens!"

As he said that, he left in a hurry, really afraid that the guests would not be treated well if they didn't eat the big dishes.

Zhang Lihua smiled when she saw it, "Grandma Yuan is generous and hospitable, there is nothing to say."

With this tone, it was obvious that she didn't think that this little fish and shrimp could make any good dishes.

"Don't pick up the second chopsticks later." Song Qiu didn't explain now, just said: "Here, quickly help me deal with the little fish."

The little fish has long and short fingers, a long and flat body, and not much meat. Song Qiu directly taught Zhang Lihua to squeeze the internal organs of the fish's belly with his fingers, and then drain the blood in the water, that's all.

The small fish, which are about three catties, only need to squeeze out the internal organs, which is quite fast, mainly due to Song Qiu's smooth hands, and one can be squeezed out in one breath.

So, when old Yuan came back with a big fat chicken, the little fish had almost been dealt with.

Zhang Lihua went to help light the fire and kill the chickens, while Song Qiu quickly processed the shrimps and crabs and put them aside for later use.

The water in the pot boiled, and old Yuan Shi caught the chicken and prepared to kill it.

Song Qiu looked at it and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!" Then he hurried into the stove, filled a large earthen bowl with water, mixed in an appropriate amount of salt, stirred it well, brought it out and said, "Here, take the chicken blood. Inside, don't waste it."

What is chicken blood going to do?
Old Yuan Shi muttered, but didn't object. He pinned the chicken's head into the chicken's wings, let Zhang Lihua grab the chicken's claws, raised the knife with his hand, and cut the chicken's neck neatly, and the chicken's blood flowed down. When I got to the soil bowl, I mixed half of the water in it and caught a big bowl full.

After the blood was drained, the fat chicken stopped thumping, so old Yuan went into the stove house to bring out the boiling water with a wooden bucket, and then submerged the whole chicken in the boiling water with the chicken feet to scald it.

After a few strokes, the chicken feathers became soggy and limp. Mr. Yuan estimated that it was almost done, so he put the chicken in the dustpan and began to pluck the feathers.

　Two updates, thank you for the reward~
