Chapter 140 Crucian carp is not a fish

"Mrs. Chen, why is there no milk yet?"

"The soup is not enough. If there is crucian carp soup, the milk will come out faster, and the broth will be better." Mrs. Chen promised Xie Yanyan to take care of Song Linngling and Xie Nannan these days, but did not go home.

However, there was such a heavy rain and there was no one selling vegetables or fish. Where could we get fish and meat?

"I think your sister is quite capable. Can we discuss it with her?"

"My sister is still young, so why should I worry about her again and again?"

"Too."

Now that Song Linngling was free, she remembered that Xie Yanyan went to the northwest to control locusts.

"My father and sister are going to the northwest to fight the locust plague. I wonder what they will do?"

"I haven't had time to talk to her yet." Xie Ning was a little ashamed. His sister had been worrying about Song Linngling's delivery since she came back.

The roaring wind and rain outside did not prevent Xie Yanyan from having a good night's sleep. When he woke up in the morning, the sky was still gray and the rain was pouring. The shopkeeper was wearing a raincoat and yelling to drain the water.

She stood barefoot in front of the window and looked out from the yard to see the turbid yellow water in the distance.

I couldn't walk for a while.

For breakfast, Xie Yanyan made Song Linngling a bowl of egg noodles, plus some vegetables and fruits, according to Mrs. Chen's request.

"Brother, it's just raining heavily now and the wind is not that strong. When I came here, I saw fish in the moat. Let's go catch a few?"

There is a moat around Yongxing City. The water is introduced from the Yongjiang River in the distance, and the width is about 10 meters.

When Xie Yanyan passed under the bridge, he saw a fish spitting bubbles.

Xie Ning said: "Mrs. Chen also asked me to get some fish or meat and make soup for your sister-in-law. But with such heavy rain, where can we catch fish? There is no net."

"I have an internet connection."

"Ah, great, then I'll try my luck. Just watch it later and don't slip into the river."

Xie Ning gave her a raincoat, and she felt that it was definitely not as good at keeping out the rain as her raincoat, so she took out the military green poncho she had worn two days ago and put the raincoat over it.

Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu got up. Su Moqing had called them and Su Zhe to teach and study together.

Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu saw Xie Ning and the others going out and asked them what they were doing.

Xie Ning said to catch fish.

Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu both want to catch fish.

Xie Ning told them to study hard and stop following them.

The two of them went back regretfully, stretching their necks to look outside. Su Moqing was very disappointed and scolded: "Studying is important in concentration. You have been attracted by the movements outside several times. How can you learn well? If you really don't want to learn, Xie and I Miss, I’m sorry, I won’t teach you any more.”

Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu were frightened and repeatedly promised not to desert in the future.

Xie Ning and Xie Yanyan took the nets, spread them out on the steps of the moat, and pulled up a net. Unexpectedly, there were really a lot of fish. They caught 7 or 8 fish in one net, the big ones weighing a pound, and the small ones. About 1 tael.

Xie Yanyan said to cast a few more nets, go back and raise them, and cook fish soup for his sister-in-law, one fish a day.

Xie Ning cast a few more nets, and the two of them caught a bucket of crucian carp weighing half a catty, a total of more than a dozen.

Xie Ning carried a net in one hand and a bucket in the other, and the two of them returned to the inn.

As a result, at the city gate, the gatekeeper said that he saw them netting fish in the moat, but the fish in the moat could not be netted.

"Can we buy it?" Xie Yanyan asked.

"Buy? You have violated the laws of Qin."

"Then what do you want?"

"Meet the officials!" After the clerk said he wanted to arrest them, Xie Yanyan said, "Can I just buy one? I'll let go of the rest."

"You let them go? You put them online, they are already damaged, they might die if you put them back."

"Then I'll buy them all, okay?"

"No, go to the official! If you should go to jail, go to jail; if you deserve to be beaten, go to jail."

When Xie Ning heard this, he immediately panicked and said, "This has nothing to do with my sister. She was just watching the fun. Everything was my idea. I caught the fish. I will go with you to see the officials."

The clerk pushed Xie Ning, including the fish and the net, to the prefect's mansion.

Only then did Xie Yanyan find out that the chief of Yongxing City was named Yan.

The prefect, wearing a raincoat and rolling up his trouser legs, was trying to figure out how to drain water. There were puddles everywhere in the city, and even the government offices were flooded.

The clerk brought Xie Ning along with his stolen goods. Governor Yan was very annoyed and said, "I am very busy, so let's leave it to the master to deal with it. Beat him and lock him up first."

Xie Yanyan said calmly: "Prefect Yan, are you sure you want to beat my brother and lock him up?"

"Is it possible to beat you?" Yan Taishou straightened up, looked at this little woman, and said very funny, "Tell me, why can't I lock him up? He is the King of Heaven?"

"We just caught a few fish in the moat, how can it be considered a violation of the law?"

Prefect Yan said: "The moat belongs to the government, and the fish in the river naturally belongs to the government. If you don't ask for it, you are violating the law."

"Can't you catch fish in the moat?"

"Can't catch!"

"You stipulate that "fish" cannot be caught, but what we caught is crucian carp."

Prefect Yan said funnyly: "Isn't crucian carp a fish?"

"No! A fish is a fish, and a crucian carp is a crucian carp. How are these the same thing?"

"Crucia carp is a type of fish, and fish naturally includes crucian carp."

"If crucian carp is a fish, why is it still called crucian carp? Wouldn't it be better to just call it a fish?"

Yan Taishou was distracted for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment, burst out laughing, and asked Xie Ning: "How many fish did you catch, ah, crucian carp?"

"Twelve."

"Okay, I've decided to send it to you." Prefect Yan said happily.

Ask the clerk to go to the government office and tell the master to write a new notice.

"Crucian carp is not a fish, hahaha. Go and tell Master and post a notice. From now on, no fish in the moat is allowed to be caught, whether it is crucian carp, silver carp or any other fish."

Xie Ning faintly returned to the inn with Xie Yanyan, killed one of them, and raised the remaining eleven in two large wooden basins.

Xie Ning lit the fire, and Xie Yanyan took the spoon and said to Xie Ning: "Brother, please pay attention to the steps and cook it for my sister-in-law to drink every day."

Heat the pot, add a little vegetable oil, heat the oil, put the killed fish in, fry on both sides until fragrant, add three large bowls of boiling water.

Crack the garlic cloves and throw them in, add ginger, bring to a boil, and simmer slowly until the soup turns milky white, and there is about a bowl and a half of the soup left.

Add the soft tofu and a small amount of salt, cook for another half-quarter of an hour, and remove from the pot.

This tofu and crucian carp soup tastes so good.

With a smile on his face, Xie Ning took out the fish bones and fish bones, keeping the skin and meat of the fish belly, and brought it to Song Linngling: "This is the crucian carp tofu soup cooked by my sister."

Because of the addition of garlic, the fish soup is not fishy or greasy at all.

The folk fish soup and broth used to promote lactation do not add salt, and the good stuff is also made extremely difficult to swallow.

The crucian carp and tofu soup she made was slightly lighter than what ordinary people eat. Not to mention the Exile Road, even Mr. Song Linglingyuan's little bun Xie Yusheng had never had such a good crucian carp soup.
