Farmhouse full garden sweet-scented osmanthus

Chapter 77
Osmanthus fragrans, who was not very hungry at first, just entered the yard, and suddenly felt her stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

But she is not in the mood to think about eating now, the most important thing for her now is to cook the fish quickly.

Cooking fish is slow work. Even the simplest method takes more time than cooking.

"Third brother, go chop the wood! I'll remove the fish scales." Chu Lixin wiped the sweat dripping from his face, and beckoned Chu Lishou to chop the wood.

Chu Lishou didn't object, he nodded and walked to the side to chop firewood, while Chu Lixin sat on the wooden bench in the courtyard and began to scrape fish scales with a wooden stick.

While waiting for Osmanthus to come out of the kitchen to check whether the scales of the fish were scraped off, she found that her father was doing physical work, while the fourth uncle was doing technical work, and she felt a little unhappy immediately.

But after she noticed the embarrassment of Chu Lixin scratching fish scales, she realized that such an arrangement was to let her father take advantage.

"Fourth Uncle, what are you doing?" Osmanthus couldn't help but walk to Chu Lixin, and smiled as she watched Chu Lixin helplessly deal with the slippery live fish.

"Get rid of the fish scales!" Although Chu Lixin looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, he still patiently explained to Osmanthus fragrans: "These fish scales, not to mention slippery, would be very bad if they were thrown into a pot and eaten." It's delicious! I really can't figure out why those rich masters and masters like to eat such strange things."

Osmanthus fragrans couldn't help laughing, her fourth uncle's serious appearance really looked uncommonly cute.

In order not to let the fourth uncle's project of scraping fish scales drag down the overall cooking progress, Guihua decided to do it herself to deal with the seven or eight live fish that were difficult to handle.

Getting up and walking back to her house, Osmanthus took out Mo's scissors for daily work, and sat next to Chu Lixin with a small bench. Before Chu Lixin chased her away, she stretched out her hand and caught a fish.

The fish at this moment are not too big, and the biggest one is only as long as Osmanthus fragrans' small arm, so Osmanthus fragrans can hold it.

"Osmanthus fragrans, what are you doing? Don't get your clothes dirty!" Chu Lixin thought that Osmanthus fragrans took the fish for fun, so he hurriedly stopped her.

But Osmanthus didn't respond at all, instead she pressed the fish to the ground, held the scissors in her backhand, and slammed the scissors towards the fish's head a few times.

The fresh fish, which was alive and kicking, was knocked unconscious by sweet-scented osmanthus.

In the surprised expression of Chu Lixin's mouth wide open, Osmanthus calmly pulled the basin beside her to her feet, held the fish with her left hand backhand, opened the scissors with her right hand, and began to scrape the scales of the fish.

Seeing the fish scales falling off the fish in pieces like snowflakes, Chu Lixin couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

It wasn't until Osmanthus went to get the second fish to knock him out that Chu Lixin came to his senses and asked stupidly: "Osmanthus, who did you learn this skill from?"

craft?

Chu Lixin's words stunned Osmanthus fragrans, who was working hard, and looked up at the adoring fourth uncle. Osmanthus finally couldn't help laughing again, "Fourth uncle, I didn't learn from anyone, but I used to be by the water. When I was a child, I saw other people fishing, and I would get used to it. If you don’t believe me, try it, it’s very easy.”

With that said, Osmanthus handed the scissors to Chu Lixin, signaling Chu Lixin to learn.

"No, you, you do it, I'll go to the house and get another one out." Chu Lixin said, threw the fish in his hand into the water again, got up and ran into his house.
