supernatural peasant girl

Chapter 89
The environment and atmosphere may really change people's mood.

For a long time, Lemongrass has been tired of coping. Looking at the gray sky, people can't see hope. There are only shivering dead trees and grass. When spring comes and we can dig wild vegetables, my heart will be open. After that, I will be tired of coping. So far relieved.

The rays of the sun set off the morning glow like flowers and brocades, and the riverside is sparkling. In the sparkling, if you squint your eyes, you can see the corner of the wooden boat on it. The people on it are bowing or walking, busy and comfortable. , Occasionally, she could hear the sound of the trumpet, coupled with the fresh mist in the morning, she really wanted to run back and forth on it barefoot.

In the end, he held back, and the people around him were full of spirits, and Xiang Ru's footsteps couldn't help but become brisk.

Before he came back to his senses, and these things were not very familiar, he saw the wooden boat approaching from a distance, and on the wooden boat of the third child and Jiewazi, there were already jumping fish, and the two baskets could hardly hold it.

Niang Niang's arms are strong, she can lift a basket by herself, she can walk without difficulty, she still has time to reprimand her children when she puts it on the sand, "But you have to be careful, do more with your hands and do more things, learn more from your third brother."

Xiang Ru was chattering away, the third child didn't know how to get close to others, and his face was cold, "Ms. Jie, are you praising my third brother? He has never fished before. It's the first time for me to say this. Why don't you learn?"

The wooden boat rippled away.

There is busy work at this end. Fish are thrown into wooden tubs and barrels one by one. Women carry them and throw them on the chopping board. They clap their palms on the head of the fish, sweep the kitchen knife, and the scales of the fish are flying like snowflakes. The belly was disembowelled, the contents were thrown into a basket, and the fish that had been killed was still shaking, already dying, and this was just a matter of holding one's breath.

Sigh better than yourself.

Xiangru saw Niangjie doing such a thing, and the women around her did the same, but she started talking more, "Miss Jie, why are the contents of these fish's bellies thrown into the basket?"

"The stench of that thing is unbearable. If you throw it here for less than two days, don't even think about staying."

I drank fish sausage porridge with fragrant vetch, and it tasted very delicious. I thought it was no chance to come here. There is something to eat, when my sister-in-law went to my house to ask for a helper, she said that this food was given to us, and it would be fine to transport it back."

There was laughter all around, and some couldn't see it, "No one has ever been willing to do this job. It has to be thrown away far away. It's not that you are taking advantage, but..."

Self-explanatory.

No matter how many fenugreek, "I like to eat this milt."

Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Niang Niang felt sad, "There are not enough fish in this fishing season. I know you live a fine life, but if you like fish white, I will save some for you. Why... "

Xiangru leaned forward and whispered, "I think the vegetable field at home is a bit thin. If I use this kind of fish dung to go back, boil it and retting it for a month, it might be better to bury it in the ground."

This purpose is half and half. Sure enough, most people feel that it is a bit redundant when they hear it, "The river mud can also be used as dung, why bother to use these things, but there are fish eggs and white fish bubbles here that can be eaten."

I don’t want to say so much about achieving the goal, there are people in the family who are too busy, so I always have to find something to do, but if Fu Dongchen comes back and knows the smell of the bamboo shed, will he...

She doesn't want that much.

While speaking, a basket of fish appeared. The big jar was filled with salt, which was snow white. After the fish was killed, someone put a layer of salt on it and threw it into the bamboo basket, layer by layer.There are also people who throw them directly into jars for storage, or set up a stove on the side, boil them in a large iron pot, and repeat the previous action after passing through the boiling water, or put them on the ground and spread them out to dry. live.

Xiao Liu was given the task of transporting those fish viscera back, Xiao Ba accompanied him all the way, and blinked at Xiang Ru, he understood when his Seventh Sister said just now, it might not work well if Xiao Liu went back.

Xiang Ru was curious about everything, so she helped wash the fish, and then asked, "This fish sells well, why isn't it a waste of time to kill one by one?"

"In the first year, the county has ordered a lot of dried fish. Almost all the dried fish in the dry goods store are taken from us, that is, those that are dried on the top. The restaurants in various towns use this jar and marinate them with salt. It is delicious to make, and no one has the skill, and no one says anything like this every year.”

It seems that this is also a little strange, the distance from the jumping carp to the town is very short, even if it is transported in wooden barrels, it will not die. Don't others like to eat live fish?

As the big baskets of fish were brought in, there were not so many voices talking here, and they were dealing with them in a hurry. A basket of viscera was brought back, and they came here to help carry the water to wash the fish, or to light the fire. Anyway, they were never idle for a moment. Xiao Ba secretly leaned on the fenugreek, "I asked that little flower to wash the viscera in the vegetable field, her face It's all green! Mai Dong is watching at home."

Looking overjoyed, Xiangru also poured cold water in a low voice, "Don't forget that you haven't thought of that method yet." The wild flowers want to be in charge, Xiaoba has no choice.

After listening to the anger, he went aside.

Soon there was another basketful of fish, and the eighth sister-in-law opened her mouth and said, "Why don't you save two baskets to bring home?"

These words are a bit abrupt and sharp, and it is not easy for people to ignore them.

Empress Jie's expression was a little strange, and she didn't say much, "It's better to wait for the men to come back to discuss, we can't decide."

Sister-in-law Ba will not be a person who is willing to give in, "Don't say that my uncle is still Lizheng now, you dare to do this. If he hadn't hired someone before, how could he have been so peaceful? At this time, he is eating two baskets of fish." What can I do? When the villain is in power, I know that there will be no good results. Are those things you said before just farting? What treats everyone equally, just wants to starve us to death!"

Xiang Ru rolled her eyes, and seeing that she didn't intend to let it go, she asked coolly, "Sister-in-law, where is Chun Lu's father? Did he take the lead?"

Sister-in-law Ba quickly shut her mouth.

Niang Niang raised her thumbs up, not bothering to talk nonsense with Sister-in-law Ba, "You girl has a way."

Fishing is not a whole day's work. When the heat of the sun becomes stronger and stronger, work will soon be over. Getting up early is not a small harvest. The men come back with the last boat of fish, wash their hands and smoke dry tobacco, sit The shore is very proud.

I heard that fishing lasts for quite a long time. Every morning and afternoon, the fish will be picked up by a few people and sent to various places. The rest of the people can nest in the shade of the trees and talk. Unique advantages Not many people want to farm, it is much easier than farming.

Some people kept watching those dried fish, some were sent away, and the last batch that came up was sent to a relatively nearby place, and the rest of the people could carry a fish each and go home to stew and eat.

But it probably won't be alone. Sure enough, Wu Yingliang invited the third child, "Let's have a good drink!"

To join the group, five or six men, five or six fish, and some side dishes are almost enough. I got up early from fishing today and I was too tired. At this time, I was just recovering from fatigue. After drinking until noon, I went out to the foot of the tree to enjoy the shade and then fell asleep. Go, another good day.

Xiangru, Xiaoliu and Xiaoba divided into three fish, and they passed the straw through the fish's mouth to lift them, and it looked good.

Wu Yingliang joked, "Xiao Liu also joins the group to have a drink or two!"

Xiang Ru disagreed, and knew it was a joke. Looking at the people who invited him, she knew, "Uncle is really smart, my sixth brother can drink, I am afraid that the fish you get is not enough to eat, so go and cheat us, but miss us. The fish hasn't reached your mouth yet, and the eldest brother hasn't come, so there's not enough food at home. Otherwise, how many would you buy with your own pocket?"

It is also a rule in the village. Those who fished that day paid ten cents a day for a fish, and the rest could not be moved, and they were all sold for money. The next ones will be distributed according to the head.

Wu Yingliang smiled, not seeing the haze before, "You girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, isn't it just a fish, and you go so far. I'm asking about your sixth brother."

Xiangru continued to laugh, "Uncle Wu, I can't give you fish, but you can ask Qiusheng to come over and get a bowl of the sour bamboo shoots. It's delicious to eat stewed fish!"

"It's almost there!"

Xiao Liu carried the fish, and the three siblings walked home together.

Only Lian Fang is at home, "Xiang Ju brought those internal organs back, and they can be eaten after washing them all? Mai Dong and Sister Hua'er are in the vegetable field."

"Sixth brother, you clean up this fish, I won't kill the slippery fish."

After speaking, he took Xiao Ba and slowly turned around from the corner of the room.

I saw Ye Hua rubbing her sore waist, holding a bunch of fish intestines in her hands in disgust, and was about to throw them out, when Mai Dong sat on a small stool and spoke unhurriedly, "Sister Hua'er , Fish intestines can’t just be thrown away like this, my elder brother always said that we should cherish things, my sister said this intestines can be stewed in porridge.”

"Good brother, we can't finish that much stewed porridge."

"If you can't finish drinking, you can't waste things. Brother should be upset when he comes back."

Resigned to her fate, Ye Hua took a small bamboo stick and stabbed at the fish's intestines. The filth inside turned out and made her nauseous, and she retched when she crawled to the side.

Seeing that Ye Hua was about to vomit, Mai Dong didn't even frown, "I saw that my second sister vomited and your aunts also vomited, so why do sister Hua'er also vomit, I'll tell my elder brother to get you a doctor? "

Ye Hua quickly waved her hands, seeing him sitting in front of her like a little old man, she was a little annoyed, and wanted to throw away the things on hand.

"Sister Hua'er, wash slowly, don't worry, thank you for your hard work."

Suddenly Xiao Meiyan was not as motionless as before, "I'm a little hungry, you wash the fish intestines so that Fifth Sister can cook porridge, otherwise the eldest brother will not eat anything when he comes back."

This kid, there is not a word that is not about big brother and big brother.

Seeing him walking away with short legs, Ye Hua breathed a sigh of relief, if she hadn't just behaved in the morning, why would she do such a thing?

Suddenly, Xiao Ba's narrow eyes appeared in front of him, "Sister Hua'er, what's wrong with you?"

Sit down slumped.
