Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 19 Afterlife
Wanwan took the fish back home, first changed the wet shoes and clothes, and hung up the washed things, then took out the fish and cleaned them, washed two peppers, and chopped the peppers into fine pieces , Put it in a bowl, then use a knife to cut a few small holes on the fish, and sprinkle some salt on it.

When Baishou came back, the fish had almost tasted of salt.

Yesterday, apart from a few small animals, there was also a chipmunk. Although it was not as much money as the previous one, it was still worth a few hundred cash.According to Wan Wan's request, Bai Shou bought a clay pot and a piece of meat. After walking around the market, he finally found the garlic and shallots that Wan Wan wanted.I also bought onions and planted them in my own vegetable garden, so I don't need to go to the market to buy them when I need them in the future. I spent almost two hundred cash in total, and handed over the rest of the money to Wanwan.

Wanwan put the silver and the remaining silver from the previous one into the earthen pot, and then hid it under the bed in the back room.

Back in the kitchen, Baishou was looking at the fish in the bowl on the stove.

"Wife, did you catch this fish?"

"No... uh, that's okay." Wan Wan said.

Then he talked about what happened by the river today, and finally asked him: "Is there really something wrong with your brain in the next life?"

Baishou frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Sometimes. The next life is also pitiful..."

In the next life, there are only him and his grandfather in the family. In the next life, he is a stranger. Because of the flood in his hometown, there are only two grandparents left in the family. In order to make a living, his grandfather took him to travel far away, and finally settled in Yangjia Village. , people in the village are very sympathetic to the grandparents and grandchildren. They usually help out a lot, and the grandpa in the next life is also very grateful to everyone.

Because of this, everyone is very kind to both of them, but unfortunately, when the next life was five years old, he had a serious illness. The high fever persisted for three days. Afterwards, he recovered, and gradually became a little abnormal. He often talked to himself. When he was young, no one cared.

As he grew up, his behavior became more and more abnormal.Sometimes I'm like a child, my intelligence hasn't grown up, and I can cry and make trouble for a piece of candy, and sometimes I'm like a normal person.But no one in the village would scold him, nor would he dare.Someone once called him a fool, but he picked up an ax and chased people all over the village, yelling that if anyone has no morals, he will have nothing to do with him.

Therefore, no one knows when he will get sick.He often likes to make trouble in the village, but fortunately, he is just playing around and doesn't do too much. Sometimes everyone gets angry and scolds him, but no one really does anything to him.One is that he is afraid that he will go crazy, and the other is that his grandfather is also a good person in the next life.

But Baishou felt that the next life was crazy, and was afraid of hurting Wanwan, so he asked her to stay away from the next life.

At this time, medical skills are backward, and there is a lack of publicity for various emergencies and critical situations. Some things that could have been avoided have caused regrets.Wanwan suddenly felt that he was very lucky last time.

She stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at Baishou who was working hard in the yard, knowing that he felt a little lost, it must be because he thought of herself in the next life.

Go back to the kitchen, mince the onion and garlic, and mix well with the minced chili.Then first spread a layer of lard on the fish body, then spread the chili, onion and garlic seasoning into the fish belly, as well as the fish body, in various places, wait for the pot to heat up, brush a layer of oil in the pot, and then throw the fish in Start frying in Chinese in the pot.

After a while, Baishou in the yard smelled a special smell of fish.He put down the ax and went to the kitchen, where the smell was even stronger.

The fish has been fried, Wan Wan put the fish into a bowl, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, and said to Baishou who came in: "Come, try it, see if it suits your taste?"

The strong smell of fish filled around the nose, mixed with the smell of garlic, Baishou looked at the golden fish in front of him and took a sip, and opened his mouth to take a bite.

Baishou's eyes lit up immediately.Looking at Wan Wan in surprise, he swallowed the fish meat like a gulp, and Wan Wan watched from the side worriedly: "Slow down, be careful of the fish bones."

It's really delicious in the world, he has never eaten such a delicious thing, Baishou licked his lips, excitedly looked at Wanwan and said: "Daughter-in-law, how did you make this fish, how can we be so delicious?"

Wanwan pursed his lips and smiled, and explained: "Just do it that way, just put these seasonings on the fish maw and fish body. If you like it, I will make it for you often."

"Okay, thank you, daughter-in-law." Baishou looked at Wanwan with piercing eyes, and nodded seriously.Happily carrying the fish bowl out of the kitchen.

After dinner, Baishou went to the mountain to cut bamboo, and Wanwan went to look at the few vegetables planted by the house yesterday. The leaves showed no signs of withering, and they were all growing well. It seemed that they had survived.

Since the dug out land next to the house is also suitable for growing vegetables, Wanwan decided to slowly move the vegetable garden down.It is convenient for picking things and looking after the vegetable garden.

So she started digging the soil.When Baishou came back after cutting the bamboo, he saw that Wanwan was busy, so he hurriedly dropped the things and ran over: "Daughter-in-law, why did you start doing this? You rest and I'll do it." After finishing speaking, he picked up his hoe and started to work. live.

Looking at his distressed look, Wan Wan couldn't help but feel sweet, where can I find such a good man in modern times?

So she came out with a small stool, took out a knife and sat in the yard to pick off the unwanted branches from the bamboo joints for him.The two of them stayed at home all afternoon, digging out a small vegetable garden next to the house, Baishou later made a smaller back loom for Wanwan to use.

The two got up early in the morning the next morning, first made cakes, and then brought food with them, and they went up the mountain together with their backs on their backs.This time, they did not stop at other mountains, and the two went directly to the mountain where they found wild chili last time.Wanwan continued to dig peppers as usual, and she hoped to plant more peppers in the vegetable garden.And Baishou went hunting in another place.

Seeing that the pepper was almost suitable, at this time, Baishou hadn't come back, so Wanwan turned around, and finally found another old pepper tree nearby.At that time, she only discovered it when she walked around and smelled the pepper.

This is God's will.Find what you want.

A whole pepper tree is full of peppercorns.Excited, Wanwan took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the picked peppers with the cloth.When Baishou came back from hunting, Wanwan had already picked two large bags of peppercorns.

At that time, Baishou looked at the two big bags of Sichuan pepper very strangely. He had seen this thing several times when he came to the mountain to hunt, but he had never seen anyone take it back and eat it. Wanwan explained and told him: "This is not for eating. Yes, this can be used as a seasoning, we can use this in cooking in the future, after adding this, the dishes we make will be even more delicious!"

Although Baishou was dubious, he had already eaten wild vegetables dug by Wanwan and fried fish. As long as his wife said it, he believed it was right.

On this day, besides peppercorns, Wanwan also picked up saponins. Think about when Modern was a child in the countryside, she saw the old man wash clothes with this kind of thing.And the smell of the saponins is more fragrant than that of the leaves.I believe her and Baishou's clothes can be washed cleaner with Zaojiao.

After finding what they needed, the two of them walked back slowly. They didn't go back the same way, but went around two mountains and went back by another road.There is a large bamboo forest in one of the mountains. The bamboo in this bamboo forest grows better. The bamboos are tall and straight, and the color is better than that outside the mountain. It is said that it is easier to use and stronger. .

It happened that Yuanbao's father and mother were chopping bamboo here, so the four of them met together.
