Nongmen fierce wife, this king depends on you

Chapter 50 Let Dad Go With You
In her life, it seemed that as long as she met Xia Mujin, nothing good would happen.

Here, Xia Mujin was tired from the beating and the lesson, just now she removed her foot from the back of the person under her feet, dropped the beating stick in her hand, and without looking at the four people who were tied together, she just carried it. What should be mentioned, Zhao Xia Senlin said: "Father, let's go!"

Xia Senlin was still in a trance, when seeing Xia Mujin speak, he quickly picked up a pole and a basket and followed behind her.

Fortunately, I bought a few scissors today, otherwise I would really be at a disadvantage. The first thought of Xia Mujin walking on the road was that I was lucky to buy a few scissors...

In a blink of an eye, it's already the time agreed with Su Yanchu. Xia Mujin has been going to the mountains every day for the past few days, and there is a lot of wild game every time, and the more is to pick Jiaogulan. Although she can't guarantee whether Ye Feng will find her, she should be prepared. She still has to do it.

Similarly, she had to go to the town every day, and bought a lot of furniture and supplies at home. Seeing that the space in the huts was getting smaller and smaller, Xia Mujin thought about whether to build another one at the back to store things.

Surprisingly, the Wu family and the others have not come to cause trouble these days. I heard from Songzi that their family ran to Wang's house all day, and it seemed that they were preparing for the harvest, but the other villagers were crying again and again. Harvesting, but the harvested results are taken up by others for nothing, which makes them less in the mood to work.

Therefore, in the past few days, the entire Damiao Village has fallen into a dull atmosphere, and only Xia Mujin's family will happily go to chop firewood and sell firewood every day.

But many villagers are also curious about how much they can sell firewood for. These days, they have watched them buy new things at home every day.

But when they asked, Xia Mujin would prevaricate with the best words. If they asked too much, they would feel embarrassed. After all, they were all complete, and they were not as good as the disabled and blind. It would be shameful to speak out. Some people thought they were lazy and didn't want to do things.

Today, Xia Mujin woke up early, and the first thing she did was to go and see those snails. These days, the water was changed every day for the snails so that they could precipitate out the impurities.

The whole family knew that Xia Mujin was going to Fushou Restaurant to cook, and they had been thinking about it all night. On the one hand, they were worried about her craftsmanship, and on the other hand, they were also worried about her safety. out.

I had ground cornmeal before, and under the guidance of Xia Mujin, Aunt Xia learned how to make steamed buns, so this morning, I started kneading noodles and making breakfast.

After hastily eating a few steamed buns, Xia Mujin packed the snails she had picked in bamboo tubes, added some water to them, and put them into the bamboo basket.

"Jin'er, let Dad go with you!"

Xia Senlin still had lingering fears about the last time he met a gangster. Seeing that Xia Mujin was about to go out with a basket, she quickly put down what she was doing and chased after her.

Xia Mujin didn't refuse, she just asked him to wash his face, then put on a new set of clothes before going together.

Aunt Xia’s eyes gradually recovered because she bought new cloth. When she was free, she made a new set of clothes for each of them. Xia Mujin’s embroidery is very good, and she likes sky blue, so she gave it to herself The fabric I bought was sky blue, and the clothes were made in an ordinary style, but Xia Mujin made some suggestions on the sleeves, and made two layers, tight inside and wide outside, and I just need to smooth the outer layer when doing things.

She likes lotus flowers, so she embroidered a few lotus flowers with water-colored thread on the hem of the clothes. She used ordinary thread to sew them casually, but the ordinary fabric gave out a different taste.

Aunt Xia and the others praised her repeatedly.

And Xia Senlin bought dark gray fabric, Xia Tieshu light gray fabric, pine nuts grass color fabric, and Aunt Xia bought blue fabric. She was born in a rural area, so it is not easy to wear too bright clothes, and she herself does not like too bright clothes. .

Of course, the few of them were reluctant to wear this clothes casually. This was the first time they had made new clothes in several years. When the clothes were made, several of them shed tears.

Xia Senlin and Aunt Xia probably never thought that they could live a stable and comfortable life in this life. Indeed, such a life is really satisfying for them...

"Be careful on the road and come back early."

Before going out, Aunt Xia brought out a large pot of fresh mushrooms. She has been cleaning up the mushrooms she picked these days. Xia Hibiscus taught her how to wash and dry them. Taking a breath, seeing the backs of the woman, father and daughter drifting away, he couldn't help exhorting.

"Mom, is this enough salt?"

As soon as the instructions were finished, Xia Tieshu's voice came from behind her, and he was busy baking dried fish by the stove.

Songzi fish netting can be regarded as a master of netting, and the harvest has been quite good these days, sometimes they can net four or five catties of raw fish a day, but these fish are not big, and it is not easy to sell them, so Xia Muzhen asked them to sell them. The fish is dried to make dried fish.

These fish have been raised for a few days, and the water is changed several times a day, and the impurities in the gills are almost out. Xia Tieshu followed Xia Mujin's teaching method to clean out the stuff in the fish's belly. This is very simple, don't use a knife Peeling, as long as you gently pinch the belly of the small fish with your hands, the intestines and guts of the fish will come out. After all this is done, add some salt, because he rarely cooks, so he is good at adding salt Not good, just ask my mother.

Hearing this, Aunt Xia looked away reluctantly, put the mushrooms in one place, then walked in, looked at the cleaned fish, and then added a little salt into it with a wooden spoon, but Hibiscus said, this You can't put too much salt, just a little bit.

"Mother, I'd better dry the mushrooms with you first, this fish...I'm afraid it won't be done well."

Seeing Mrs. Xia adding salt to the fish, Xia Tieshu touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and then said with a blushing face.

Like cutting broad beans, Xia Mujin taught her by hand, and even made these unfamiliar fishing nets and bows and crossbows. It's really not easy for young people to live.

Aunt Xia also knew what the eldest son was thinking. After all, the fish was hard-won, and it was brought back by the pine nuts under the hot sun every day. Although she didn't know what it would be like to dry the fish like this , but Xia Mujin asked, and they would follow suit. At this moment, after hearing Tieshu's suggestion, they nodded without saying a word. Anyway, the fish would have to be marinated for a while.

With his mother's consent, Xia Tieshu put on his crutches and joined the ranks of drying mushrooms.

The whole mushroom needs to be dried in the sun, but there will inevitably be some dirt and impurities when it is harvested, so this washing is the first process, but it is also the most difficult process, because the mushroom is easily broken, so it must be handled with care. It is best to rinse when washing.

During this process, the crushed mushrooms under Xia Tieshu's feet were enough to cook a big pot of soup at noon. Songzi, who was brought back from the fish, laughed for a long time, and it was his mother who smoothed things over, so that the brother was saved from the embarrassment of being laughed at by the younger brother.

After cleaning up those mushrooms, it was already daylight. Pine nuts brought the fish back, drank some water, and went with the bucket. A few days ago, Xia Mujin bought some nails and asked Xia Tieshu to make two small buckets. It was said that it was specially used for pine nuts, but Coke broke him.

And Xia Mujin didn't let them drink raw water, so they made two medium-sized buckets, one for boiling water and one for snails.

Immediately, the two began to make dried fish.

Xia Tieshu lit up the fire in the stove, Aunt Xia drained the fish, and when she saw that the pot was red hot, she added a little oil. After brushing the whole pot, slowly spread the cleaned small fish along the pot. Mrs. Xia spread it carefully, and put them one by one.

Moreover, it needs to be slightly heated with a small fire, but the fire needs to be cooked skillfully, because the entire pot needs to be heated evenly, not as long as the bottom of the pot is hot like cooking, which made Xia Tieshu feel overwhelmed Khan, fortunately, all of this is well handled.

And Mrs. Xia is also a technical job, because she has to turn the fish over. There is not much oil. If the fish is cooked, it will stick to the pan. Her eyes are not good, so she uses her nose to smell it. Flip it over.

When the small fish was baked until both sides were yellow, it was filled out with something, and then spread out on a large wooden board made by Xia Tieshu, and then the wooden board was taken out to dry.

Xia Tieshu couldn't help pinching one into his mouth when it was out of the pot, and immediately opened his eyes wide and said, "Mother, this fish is so fragrant, so crispy, and so delicious."

Aunt Xia's brows were full of kind smiles, she lowered her head and smelled the smell of the fish, she nodded in satisfaction, thinking of the ability and sensibleness of her own children, the smile on the corner of her mouth grew even wider.

"Aunt, Uncle, go and have a look, Master Wang has brought dozens of people to your field to harvest millet."

Just after the hour, Xia Mujin and Xia Senlin appeared at the back door of Fushou Restaurant. Uncle Panzi saw them from afar and came over to greet them cheerfully.

"Hijin, you are here."

Uncle Panzi is fat, and he was already sweating profusely from such a short distance. He greeted him warmly while wiping his sweat with a towel on his shoulders.

"Uncle Panzi, what kind of tricky guest is this time? You are so anxious, your clothes are soaked in sweat."

Xia Mujin smiled at Uncle Pan, but started to joke.

I have delivered firewood many times, met with each other, and I have become acquainted with Uncle Pan and the people in the back kitchen. They are very kind, and these are homeless youths or women from poor families. With so much thought, all he wanted was to keep the job in his hand, so he quickly became acquainted.

Moreover, it also made her feel a little more fond of Su Yanchu, who is in charge here.

"Hey, what about my aunt, this time it's not some trickster, but the noble person in charge of our family, but you can't offend her."
