The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 10 Braised Fish

"Okay, it's getting late, you go early! Don't worry about the family, I'm here!" Su Ho urged.

"Dong'er, Ling'er, what are you talking about? Are you ready? It will be too late if you don't wait." Mother Su called out from outside the house.

"Okay, just come out." Su Ling replied: "Brother, you go! Come back when you are on vacation, and if you have no money, you have to send a letter back. I will send someone to send it to you."

"Understood, little housekeeper." As he spoke, he scratched Su Ling's upturned nose. "Mom, then I'm leaving, don't worry, I'll be back after the holiday."

"Yeah, let's go! Take care of yourself." Mother Su's eyes were almost red.

Knowing that Su Dong's ox cart could not even be seen, Su's mother faltered and turned back.

"Mother, don't worry, brother is not young anymore..."

In mid-spring, the weather has gradually warmed up.Su Ling couldn't stay at home anymore, she was always a happy person, now the grass is growing and the weather is just right, so she took Su Ho and slipped out together, of course, she didn't forget to call her good partner grass.

The three of them came to the river, and there was an endless grassland on the bank, the grass was so green and lovely, and there were a few cows grazing on the lawn, raising their heads from time to time and making 'moo' calls.

Seeing such a scene, Su Ling was even more joyful, and even ran on the grass, it really is natural and pollution-free!The color of the angel is blue, the water is clear, the air is still so fresh, and when you close your eyes, you can still feel the phoenix gently brushing past, tickling her heart...

Over there, Suho rolled up his trouser legs and went into the river. The river near the shore was still very shallow, and he could see the bottom, and even saw river prawns swimming around at the bottom of the water!

"Sister, let's catch fish! Look at how happy this fish is!" Su Ho's crisp laughter spread throughout the entire lawn, and was even carried far away by the wind.

"He'er, it's useless to catch this fish, and it can't be eaten, and it's a waste of effort." Xiaocao couldn't bear to hit Su He.

"Who says you can't eat it anymore, this fish is delicious! He'er, catch it! If you catch a big fish, I will cook it for you tonight." Su Ling interrupted Xiaocao's words.

"Ling'er, is what you said true? It's really edible. I heard from my mother that I ate people to death before! That's why she doesn't let us catch fish." Xiaocao asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you? Let's go, let's catch it together. If we catch it, we will have a toothbrush tonight." Thinking of the braised fish, steamed fish, boiled fish, etc. in his previous life, Su Ho secretly swallowed. up.

Before stepping into the river, Su Ling was scared, because she remembered that there were molluscs like leeches in the water, which specialize in sucking human blood, and it was difficult to get them off after being bitten by them. She simply took command on the river bank.

Even though He'er is small, she is not bad at catching fish. She actually caught a grass carp weighing three to four catties, "Sister Xiaocao, come and help me, this fish is about to break free."

"Okay, you stand there, I'll come right away." He ran over to help He'er pick up the big fish, and as she ran, the water splashed, which was very beautiful.

After bringing the fish to the shore, Su Ling looked at the big fat fish and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"He'er, your little hands are really fat. You can touch such a big fish with just one touch. I will reward you to eat more fish tonight." Su Ling looked at Su He with a smile.

"Where is it?" His face turned red as he spoke.

"Ling'er, are you really sure that this fish can be eaten, don't waste the oil, and you won't be able to eat it again." Xiaocao was still very worried.

"Of course, I'll show you my skills tonight." Su Ling patted her chest and said confidently.

"Let's go back! The family should be in a hurry later." Su Ling held Su He in one hand, and the big fat fish in the other, and Xiaocao also stepped into her basket, which contained several grass carp, each of which looked about When I weighed more than a catty, I went back.

"Yeah, yeah, eat braised fish!" He'er broke free from Su Ling's hand and ran home with all her might, yelling as she ran, as if she was afraid that others would not know.

"This child..." Su Ling was very helpless, saying this seemed to have forgotten that she is actually a child now!It's just a child's body with a mature heart inside.

After telling Xiaocao how to make the fish, Su Ling rushed home, where Su Ho had gone for a long time, probably already home!
Su Ling quickly cleaned up the fish, the big fat grass carp was made into braised fish, and the remaining small ones were made into fried fish.Ginger was added to the braised fish to remove the fishy smell, and sugar was also added. Unfortunately, the seasoning was not enough, and there was no soy sauce or green onions. If there was soy sauce, it would definitely enhance the taste. This further confirmed Su Ling's determination to make soy sauce.

Before Su Ho entered the kitchen, he smelled the fragrance, and felt that his taste buds were all radiated, and he kept swallowing his saliva.

"Sister, it smells so good!" He picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, but he was burned unexpectedly.

"He'er, be careful, it's burning! Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Ling cried anxiously.

Su Ho stuck out his burned tongue, "I can't help it! But this is really delicious."

"You can eat more if it's delicious."

"Ling'er, what are you cooking? It smells so good." Su's mother and Su's father came into the yard each carrying a hoe, "I can even smell the aroma in the yard."

"Father and mother, you're back! Wash your hands and eat! I've already prepared, and I'll tell you about something later." Su Ling saw that Su's father and Su's mother had returned.

"Okay, then let's wash our hands first, and talk about it later when we have something to eat." Mother Su replied.

Over there, Su Ho had scooped up water with a ladle to wash his father and mother's hands.

"Father and mother, I'm here to scoop up water for you, wash it up quickly, my sister's cooking tonight is delicious." Su He smiled.

"Alright, mother's He'er is really sensible, she is really mother's good daughter." Mother Su said with a loving face.

Mother Su looked at the braised fish and was very puzzled, "Ling'er, can this be eaten? Some people in the village went to salvage it before and ate it to death. Since then, no one has eaten it."

"Mother, don't worry, I know what you can eat. Eat it at ease, it's fine." Su Ling replied obediently. "Father and mother, hurry up and try it, what I'm going to say later is related to this fish."

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Su Ling looked at Father Su and asked urgently.

"It's okay, but none of us have seen this method before. How is it done?" Father Su looked at Su Ling.

"This is called braised fish, and the method is simple, but it requires a lot of seasonings. There are not enough seasonings now. I will go to the mountains to search in a few days. Maybe I can find more seasonings."

"Father and mother, do you think it's okay for me to sell this to Tianyue Restaurant!" Su Ho looked at Su's father and Su's mother.
